Chapter 784 A Gift For Earth Elementalists

Chapter 784 - A Gift For Earth Elementalists

"This place is a gift for Earth Elementalists!" Grey exclaimed when he felt the abundance of earth elemental particles in the air.

Even the sky was somewhat brownish in color. The force field he was feeling back at the gorge was in no way close to this one. The gravitational power was over four times that of the one he felt when he was fighting against the four horned men.

"Staying here would benefit my earth element a lot. Unfortunately, it's too risky." Grey said.

"This is a good place for us to absorb that treasure. The only risk is attracting too many of them. You can absorb faster than I do, so you could fight against them while I absorb the rest. What do you think?" Void asked.

He could already feel the limitations of this realm, which meant that there was no one above the Overlord Plane, but he knew it didn't mean they should underestimate these horned people. There would be powerful experts with strength exceeding the Overlord Plane.

Grey thought about Void's suggestion for some time before replying, "Let's check out the place for now. We'll see what happens later on."

After coming to a decision, they left their current location. The group brought by the expert were nowhere to be seen. They had left a long time ago.

Grey was cautious as he moved around the place. This was the first time he was entering a realm like this.

The place he appeared was an empty field. He headed in the eastern direction. He didn't forget to take note of this place, and also placed one of the plaques he made. This way, he could use it to locate this place when he wanted to leave.

The portal here vanished after he appeared, but he could still sense it, so he knew he could leave with it if he wanted to.

A few hours later.

He encountered the first city in this world. The scenery stunned him, just like humans, these horned people lived in well-built houses. However, that was not what caught his attention. Looking at the front gate to the city, he could see piles of bodies on the side, they were humans.

It was as if these people took joy in killing them. He saw kids running over to the place, looking at the dead bodies of the humans with a joyful expression.

"Well, this is strange." Void commented.

"Looks like humans aren't the only crazy ones." Grey looked at the scene oddly.

He didn't really know what to feel since he never expected to see something like this. Although he already knew that the orbs of humans were extracted, he never knew that the humans were killed right after.

While he was watching from the side, he saw some group of people bringing a cart full of dead bodies and dumping them there. These bodies were fresh, it was evident that they were killed not too long ago.

"Can't they just burn or bury the bodies?" Grey found the scene a little disturbing.

He wasn't uncomfortable because of the dead bodies, but some of them had started to rot.

"I have no idea." Void replied.

Grey couldn't use the space element fully since the gravity here was different from the Aurora Continent, but he sensed that using his earth element brought double the usual result.

He sent Void to go and investigate what was happening inside the place.

Void nodded before disappearing. Grey stayed in the same location and started to train his physical body. Void's investigation would take some time, so he had to make sure that he used this opportunity well.

Just being here was no different from training his physical body. So when he started training as well, he could feel himself growing stronger as time went on. After some time, he switched to trying to comprehend the gravity in this realm. He had been trying to comprehend it for some time now.

When he fought against the four horned men, he felt he had gained some insights, staying here was the push he needed to comprehend it sooner.

Later that day.

Void appeared beside him with a chubby-horned man.

Grey opened his eyes and stared at the man in front of him.

"Who's this?" He asked curiously.

He noticed the man was only in the Origin Plane, so he knew he wouldn't be anyone of much importance.

"The chief of this city." Void replied while smacking the head of the man.

The man wanted to speak out, but Void glared at him and he shut his mouth up.

"What are you doing with the people brought here?" Grey went straight to the point. He already knew this, but he wanted to be sure of it.

"What are you talking about?" The horned man asked, shivering in fright.

Grey didn't reply, he moved the bush close to them, and the man saw the pile of bodies heaped on the side of the city gate.

The man saw this and looked at Grey once again.

"You're one of them!" The man exclaimed.

"Answer my question." Grey squinted his eyes and released his superior cultivation base on the man.

The pressure the man felt made it almost impossible for him to even breathe.

"My… my Lord, they are goods transported over for entertainment." The chubby man replied.

"Entertainment?" Grey was a little confused, he looked at the man, hoping for further explanation.

"They fight against the beasts in the arena." The man explained after sensing Grey's gaze.

"I thought you guys only extract their orbs once they were caught?" Grey asked.

"Well, they have a lot of uses. Some of them are bought on the market and used as slaves. Some are turned into deadly weapons that can wipe out other cities..." The man continued his explanation.

Listening to the man's explanation, Grey was a little surprised. This had been going on for years now, and surprisingly, humans hadn't been able to locate them until now.

Grey asked how the people were transported there, and the man said they were sent from the Capital. According to him, all the people captured were taken to the Capital, and then those that were weak would be sent to weaker cities.
