Chapter 434: Shocking Information

Grey looked around but couldn’t find the source of the voice, raising his head, he saw a familiar figure floating mid-air.

“Guess my suspicion was right,” He said while looking at Ellis who was mid-air, there was no sign of surprise on his face.

It’s generally known that only Overlord Plane Elementalists and above could fly or float mid-air, so when he felt Ellis was hiding his power previously, he was accurate. The only thing that he found strange was the fact that Ellis was aware of the space element, and given how he spoke about it, he must have seen others.

‘So, there are others.’ Grey thought to himself. He had always thought there were other Space Elementalists, but not hearing or seeing any other one, he felt a little skeptical about it.

“You’re very sharp, had I not stayed in that array a little longer, then you would’ve already found out by now,” Ellis said casually while slowly coming down.

“What was the use of hiding your strength?” Grey asked, not understanding why someone would go through all this stress.

“Fun, it was just for fun,” Ellis shrugged after landing opposite Grey.

Grey looked at him for a while but refrained from speaking since he knew someone who wouldn’t have any qualms about doing something like this for fun. Not just one, but two.

“So, what now?” He asked.

“Nothing, I’ve taken what I wanted, thanks to you,” Ellis replied with a smile.

“You could’ve easily taken it by yourself, so no need to give me any credit,” said Grey.

“You’re right, but let’s just take it as it is, alright?” Ellis walked closer to Grey, stretching out his right hand.

“Sure,” Grey replied, not wanting to continue the conversation.

“I never thought you were this young though,” Ellis took his hand after seeing Grey not reciprocating his attempted shake.

“I did tell you I wasn’t a senior,” Grey said while walking out of the valley.

All he wanted to do now was to exit this place, if not for the fact that he wasn’t sensing any malice from Ellis, he would’ve escaped already. But he still didn’t feel safe around him since he couldn’t sense his accurate strength, this meant that even if he were to use his Fusion State, he probably won’t be a match for Ellis.

“Yeah, but in this place, people who are as strong as you tend to be old, and you had that robe that was covering your face. You can’t blame me for misjudging you,” Ellis explained.

After walking for a while, Grey paused at the front of the passageway where the array had already completely been restored.

“Who are you?” He turned to look at Ellis.

“I’m Ellis,” Ellis replied.

“Hmm, I’ve not heard of anyone being an Overlord Plane Elementalist while still being this young,” Grey said.

He wasn’t too sure if Ellis was young or an old man who refused to grow old, but he felt given how he was acting, he might be young. ????????????????e????????. ????????????

“Given how little the essence is here, it’s not surprising that there’s no one my age in the Overlord Plane,” Ellis replied.

“But, you shouldn’t be far from it, right?” He asked.

Grey shrugged, blinked twice before disappearing.

Ellis chuckled before taking a step into the passageway, but unlike the first time, the arrays didn’t light up. He casually walked to the other side of the passageway within two seconds.

Grey, who watched how he walked past the passageway from the other side was stunned by how he nonchalantly did it, he could swear he saw Ellis taking only three steps, yet he appeared on the other side of the passageway.

“Where are you from?” He asked curiously.

From the little conversation he just had with Ellis, it was safe to say that he’s probably not from the Qilin empire.

“Far away,” Ellis replied.

“The trial land?” Grey asked curiously.

That was the only place he knew that had more essence compared to the Qilin empire.

“Trial land? What’s that?” asked a confused Ellis.

“It’s a strange place. If you’re not from there, then where?” Grey asked.

“I’m from the uh… how am I going to put it, let’s just say the main continent. You wouldn’t know about it since you people are stuck in this small place,” Ellis replied.

“Small place? Main continent?” Grey asked, his expression is clearly one filled with confusion.

“Yeah, something like that. I was accidentally transported here during an exploration two years back, finding such a place where the main powerhouses were in the Overlord Plane surprised me. To be honest, the only thing of interest in this place is this Magical Beasts’ forest.” Ellis explained.

“Just to be clear, don’t try to go deep into this place, there’s a terrifying presence in here that gives me the chills. I feel it can easily wipe out this continent of yours with as little as a sneeze,” Ellis added, his voice shaking slightly when speaking about what he sensed in the Magical Beasts’ forest.

“Wait, what?” Grey, who was still having a hard time processing what Ellis was saying couldn’t believe what he said about there being a terrifying presence that could wipe out the Azure continent with a sneeze.

How strong would the creature or person be to wipe out the entire Azure continent with a sneeze?

“This place holds a lot of secrets, I don’t think most of the people in my continent know about it, else, it would’ve already been investigated by those supreme powerhouses,” Ellis said.

Grey paused for a few minutes, trying to digest the information he just received. He had never read about there being another continent, other than the Azure continent, he knew nothing about there being a main continent. What was more shocking was how weak Ellis actually thought they were, he didn’t even seem to be putting those experts in the Overlord Plane in his eyes.

Then, there’s the issue of the inferior elemental essence in their continent.

Grey had thought of the possibility of there being another place after visiting the trial land, but after not really finding out about anything, he threw the thought to the back of his head.

“Wow!”

This was the only word that came out of Grey’s mouth after a few minutes of contemplating.
