Grey felt reassured after Void's words and started to prepare. He still needed to make sure he created an array to complement Void's domain, this would make it safer for him.

When he completed this, he looked at his body once again.

'My body has gotten to the Peak, so has my cultivation stage. I should be the only one who cultivates both and still cultivate this fast.' He sighed with emotions.

It hadn't even been up to ten years since he started cultivating, yet he was already getting closer to the Peak of the world.

The Elemental Venerable Plane, and then the Elemental Sovereign Plane. Once he breaks through now, he would become a Venerable. Venerables are highly regarded in any place. Even his Faction would have to start treating him in a different manner.

He could even vie for an Elder's position in the Faction, and with his strength, he has a high chance of winning. Of course, he didn't have such plans. Being an Elder means he would have to teach some of the lower ranked members of the Faction. He didn't think he had such spare time.

'It's like a dream.' He pinched himself.

After getting lost in thoughts for a while, he snapped back to reality and focused on the matter at hand, breaking through to the Elemental Venerable Plane.

Just like the other Planes, it has to do with the transformation of his elemental cores. When he broke through to the Sage Plane, his cores entered a somewhat chaotic state. Now, as he advances in Planes, there would be divisions and each elemental core would have its own part in his body. He would also develop his origin source as well.

Grey closed his eyes and soon entered a cultivation state.

His consciousness drifted into the Chaos Space. As time went on, he rarely spent time here. He had been too busy with so many things that he started to forget this place, the place where his journey started.

Even though he occasionally came here to comprehend the elements, it was once in a while.

He walked around with mixed feelings. After getting to the peak of the mountain, he sat down cross-legged, just like what he was doing with his real body, he closed his eyes and started to meditate.

Inside his body, his chaotic essence started to separate. While this was happening, Grey noticed something odd. His chaotic essence that started to separate all seeped into the Chaos Space and started to merge with it.

It was a shocking scene.

His previously closed eyes opened wide as he looked at the scene before him. He couldn't believe what was happening.

Naturally, with the advancement, his separated essence would all be in his body. There was no way he would be able to connect with the origin source if his essence entered this place.

Thinking of this, he decided to check things out to confirm if he wasn't sensing it wrong.

When he sensed the situation with his body, he couldn't help but give a wry smile. It was really happening.

But it didn't make sense to him. His essence was supposed to be in his body, not this consciousness space.

'Will I be able to access it if it enters here?' He panicked. But the process had already started, so there was nothing he could do.

….

While Grey was freaking out. In the outside world.

Void was staring at Grey so hard that his eyes bulged.

'What's wrong with him?' He was worried.

Naturally, as an Elementalist breaks through, their aura is supposed to increase. But in Grey's case, his aura was declining, at a rapid speed at that. If not for the fact that he could tell that Grey was alive, he would've thought that he was dying.

'What the hell is wrong with him?' He complained.

He watched Grey vigilantly, seriously observing his situation. If he notices that there's any issues with his life force, he would forcefully wake him up. He couldn't take any gambles, not with Grey.

Time went on and Grey's aura soon vanished. Other than the fact that he was alive, it was almost like he wasn't there. It was a strange situation.

Some moment later, a lightning struck from the sky, aiming for Grey's head.

Grey, whose eyes had been previously closed opened and he jumped into the air.

Void was startled but he still looked shocked.

'Humans don't need to face a test from the Origins. Only Magical Beasts who want to defy nature are tested.' Void was once again thrown off his feet.

He didn't even see Grey form a link with the origin source, yet, he seemed to have successfully broken through to the Elemental Venerable Plane. His only worry was that Grey seemed to have attracted the attention of the Origin.

The Origin here refers to the start of all things. All elements are birthed from the Origin. It could be said to be their heavens.

When he was also breaking through, he experienced something like this as well. But the reaction to Grey's breakthrough was stronger than his own.

After Grey leapt into the air, he threw a punch at the lightning that was falling down. And the lightning fell apart.

Void watched as Grey was soon bathed in lightning. Before long, Grey's figure appeared, another shocking scene followed suit.

Looking at Grey's figure, Void's mouth opened wide.

'Scales? Why the hell does he have scales?!' He exclaimed internally.

'Dragon scales.' Void soon came to a realization when he saw Grey.

He could sense the slight Dragon pressure that was coming out of Grey's body.

'No wonder there's such a reaction.'

While he was still lost in thoughts, Grey's excited laughter rang through the place.

"Haha, so this is how it feels!" He laughed in pleasure and vanished.

Void was still confused when he heard a loud 'boom!'

Turning his head to look, he realized Grey had started fighting with one of the Magical Beasts in the forest. This Magical Beast was already in the Third stage of the Seventh Rank, but it was quickly suppressed by Grey as the battle started.

The Dragon's aura was showing its effect now. With his superior bloodline, he could suppress the Magical Beasts in the same stage without any worry. Void was also the same.

Boom! Bang!

He punched the large body of the Lion, and it crashed into the ground. The Lion's thick defensive skin was broken, and injuries were all over its body.

Grey wasn't unscathed, he was bleeding and a large claw mark was on his back. But he was laughing in exhilaration.

"Come again!" He screamed and charged at the Lion.

It had been a long time since he felt this way while fighting. With every injury, he would use the light element to heal himself as he rushed after the Lion.

He didn't need any origin source, the origin source was within his body. It was a shocking thing. He never expected such a development.

Unlike others who would need to link with the origin source of the world, he didn't do that. It was like in the Chaos Space, there was already an origin source, and from how it quickly absorbed his essence, it was clear to see that it didn't want it to be diluted with the origin source of the Aurora Continent.

This was not the only reason why Grey was excited, the main reason was because of this….

Grey opened his mouth wide and a large stream of ice shot out. It was like a blizzard as it was released from his mouth.

"Haha, an Ice Dragon's innate ability." He laughed as he spread out his hands.

A snow storm started as well. With the blizzard that seemed to come out of his mouth, adding the snow storm to it, it released a shocking cold.

The Lion roared in fear and spat out a core. The core rotated before a cyclone started.

It used the cyclone to protect itself from Grey's blizzard attack and with a shake of its body, it shot out from the range. Without even thinking twice, it ran away without looking back.

It was frightened! It couldn't believe that the person it was fighting against was a human. There was no way a human would be so demonic.

First off, Grey had scales, then he radiated a true Dragon's pressure, and now he even had an innate skill as well.

A demon!

This was the only thing on the Lion's mind, Grey was a demon!

"You're lucky I'm in a good mood." Grey laughed and went back to where Void's was located.

The other powerful Magical Beasts in the area sent their spiritual senses to check on what was happening, seeing how Grey was able to beat up the Lion, they retracted their senses and didn't dare to offend the human.

Only a few who were in the Late stages of the Seventh Rank didn't show fear. No matter how strong Grey was, he just broke through, and wouldn't be their match.
