Chapter 291: The Darkness Element
Chapter 291: The Darkness Element
Grey’s looked around, and the darkness seemed perfectly lit. He was currently seated close to the one hundred meters mark, with a casual step, he walked past it into the other side.
‘Hmm, even after awakening my darkness element, it’s still difficult to freely enter this place.’ He thought before walking back.
Just as he was about to walk out of the darkness space, he sensed a strange occurrence in his body that was outside the Chaos Space.
‘Huh?’ He wore a confused face, a little taken aback by what he was sensing.
It was only after a few seconds he realized what was happening, he was starting to form the elemental bead for his darkness element. His previous five elements were attained before he broke through to the Origin Plane, so he forgot about this.
Without wasting any time, he sat down crossed leg while still in the darkness space and focused on forming his elemental bead. What better place to form an elemental bead than the place where the element is abundant?
He was currently in a spiritual state, but he could perfectly form it in his body that was outside the Chaos Space.
He was already very familiar with the technique after already creating five, with a calm mind, he used his spiritual energy to form a sphere around the darkness element which was still in a chaotic state. After forming the sphere, he slowly started compressing it. He made sure to compress it to its limit, while also making sure not to overdo it.
It took him about ten minutes to completely form it. As soon as he finished it, he sensed the increase in his strength. Unfortunately, he was unable to get to the Sixth stage of the Origin Plane. He expected this since it hadn’t been long he broke through to the Fifth stage, and after he broke through to the Fifth stage, he had not made any attempts to even cultivate. Not just that, but he knew with every increase in strength, the harder it would be for him to breakthrough.
When he was done with forming the elemental bead, he stood up and left the darkness space heading in the direction of the mountain peak in the Chaos Space, although he could already guess the elemental grade of his new element, he still wanted to see it for himself. Who knows, maybe it might go higher than the pink grade.
After walking to the stone, he placed his hand on it, and after the usual routine, the stone lit up with six different colors. The fire element took up most of the stone, while the lightning and wind elements which were blue grades each covered the same area, the earth and water element were purple each, while the darkness element was pink.
‘Hmm, none of my elements have seen any increment for a while now. I guess I’ve been too focused on getting a new one.’ Grey thought before leaving the Chaos Space.
His previously motionless body twitched before he opened his eyes, a dark aura spread out from where he was seated, and its corrosiveness slightly affected the things around him. The wooden shack slowly started decaying, while the grass around the house also showed signs of decaying. Luckily, nothing important was close to him, by important, he meant his Teacher’s chair which was some meters away from his shack.
Void who was outside sensed the aura and quickly stood up, he could already guess that Grey had awakened the darkness element. This excited him because they would be leaving this boring place soon.
‘Hey, you’ve done it?’ He still asked even after knowing the answer.
Grey nodded before opening his hand, and the black mass appeared above it. It gave off a deadly eerie aura which gave Void a fright. He smiled before sending it in Void’s direction.
Void quickly escaped with the space element, ‘Hmph! Even though you have this now, I still have the space element, which gives me the edge.’
‘I’ll get it soon, that’s when you really need to worry.’ Grey smirked when he saw how easily Void escaped his attack.
‘When will we be leaving?’ Void asked the question that was important to him.
‘In a week’s time or so. I still need to prepare the devices for the others, I’m already done with two, all I need is one more.’ said Grey.
During the time he was trying to comprehend the darkness element, whenever he couldn’t enter the darkness space, he would focus on making the devices. He hadn’t been able to figure out how to add a communication array, so he left that out for now.
The devices he was making for the others weren’t like his own, they would only be able to sense each other, but not the fourth group, the people who originally made the wooden object. He was scared that maybe if it was linked to it, they might curiously head there, or maybe those people might be able to sense them.
Void nodded without asking any more questions, this was the reason they stayed here for so long anyway, so it would be a waste if they didn’t prepare the other devices for the other three.
Grey wasn’t too bothered with the device, since he already knew how to make it, it was no longer an issue, what really bothered him was another issue.
‘I still have four with me, one of them belongs to Klaus’ dad, which leaves me with only three. If I use one now I’ll be left with two.’ He thought.
He was currently contemplating if he should use the Great Earth Essence to improve the elemental grade of his darkness element, but it didn’t take him long to come to a decision. He originally thought of giving one to each of his parents, then one to his Teacher, and then Klaus’ father, but it looks like his dad won’t be getting any since he was about to use it.
After coming to a decision, he immediately brought out one of the drops of the Great Essence Liquid and started refining it.
