Chapter 584 - Stepping Into The Overlord Plane

Bang!
The door to the hall hit the side of the walls, causing a loud noise. Coupled with Reynolds' shout, everyone in the hall turned to look in that direction.
Grey and Reynolds walked into the hall slowly. He didn't have his mask on, unlike before, nor did he hide his cultivation stage, so everyone around could easily sense it.
Alice, who was watching on the side couldn't help but facepalm when she saw the duo's entrance.
With no other option, she walked out with Void appearing on Grey's shoulder.
The Mayor paused, staring at the trio walking towards them.
Old man Gerald grabbed onto the armrest of the chair he was sitting in, almost destroying it due to the strength he used in holding onto it.
Donald, Sasha, Jonas, and the Earl sisters recognized Grey easily, while a few of them stared at Reynolds, trying to figure out where they had seen him. It didn't take long before they remembered the poster that was posted on the walls of the city gate.
Prince Casper looked at the trio for a while before speaking, "Aren't you three part of the fugitives father is searching for?"
"You and your father are the fugitives," Reynolds retorted.
The Instructors from the Starlight, Lunar, and Royal Academies stood up, as well as a few high officials from the Capital.
Prince Casper signaled for them to wait, "I thought you three were hiding, what brought you out?"
"We were tired of playing hide and seek, so we decided to take a stroll, you know, to stretch our legs," Grey said nonchalantly.
"What are you doing here?" Prince Casper asked gently.
"To stop the wedding, what else does it look like?" Reynolds replied.
The trio has already walked to the middle of the hall, with all eyes on them.
"Hmm, a First and Second stage Overlord Plane Elementalist, and a Peak Origin Plane Elementalist. You three sure are gutsy," Prince Casper mocked.
Reynolds smiled as his Elemental Warrior appeared behind him, sending off an intimidating aura.
"Okay, I'm impressed with that. But the thing is, there is one Late stage Overlord Plane Elementalist here, and at least ten Mid stages Overlord Plane Elementalists here. If I were to add the Peak Overlord Plane Elementalist that is hiding somewhere in the city, that would be too much for you three." Prince Casper smiled gently, before adding, "Just two Mid stages Overlord Plane Elementalists are enough,"
He turned to the Instructors and two from the Starlight Academy stepped forward. They all knew Grey and his friends from the competition. Grey, Alice, and Reynolds left quite an impression on them, so they still thought of them once in a while.
A middle-aged man and a lady in her mid-thirties walked out with a grin.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time," The man said with an evil grin.
"Me too," The lady added.
"Grey, should I?" Void asked.
Of the group, he was currently the strongest individual, and taking on a few Mid stages Overlord Plane Elementalists was a breeze.
"No need, I've been waiting to do this for a while now," Grey shook his head with a smile.
"Heh! To think an Origin Plane Elementalist would dare to be so bold to stand against us," The man said mockingly.
"Haha, a genius who couldn't even break through to the Overlord Plane while his friends have," The lady beside him laughed as they approached the trio.
Jonas and the Earl sisters who were watching from the audience were at a loss for words when they realized Grey was still in the Origin Plane, especially Jonas. He never expected that Grey would still be in such a low stage.
'What's he doing?' He thought to himself as he watched them.
The Earl sisters were worried about the safety of Grey, especially Aldreda who had some feelings for him.
"Can't break through to the Overlord Plane, heh!" Grey smirked and took a step forward.
Boom!
With a single step, his aura suddenly surged. It was like a Dragon was trying to break through a wall.
"What?!"
Everyone stood on their feet, staring at Grey as his aura started to skyrocket.
Grey's dress was rippling around as he took another step forward.
Boom!
His aura shot up once again, and a clear sound of something breaking apart was heard aloud.
Grey still had his nonchalant expression, but the eyes of everyone in the hall were on the verge of popping out, even his friends behind him were in shock.
Wind started to rotate around Grey as he stood in the same position, sensing the new strength that was circulating across his entire body.
He took in a deep breath, before exhaling out a white puff of air.
'The Overlord Plane, hmm,' He thought to himself, not too excited by his breakthrough.
His aura slowly started to die down after his breakthrough, and the duo walking towards them heaved a sigh.
The man laughed before saying, "All that commotion just for breaking through to the Overlord Plane. Although, I must say you're quite weird given how strangely you broke through, you…"
The man paused mid-sentence because something unprecedented was taking place.
Grey's aura which was dwindling suddenly started to pick up once again, shocking everyone present in the hall.
Grey took another step forward, and his cultivation stage which was previously in the First stage went up by a stage, getting to the Second stage with nothing more than a step.
"How… how… how is this possible?" The man stuttered, trying to comprehend what was going on.
Grey just broke through to the Overlord Plane, he hadn't even tried to stabilize his cultivation stage, yet he just upped it by one, and so easily!
When he broke through to the Overlord Plane, it took him well over five years before he managed to get to the Second stage. Although he might look like someone in his late thirties, he was already over one hundred and fifty years old.
Grey's aura started to calm down once again, and a few people present felt relieved.
But their expressions changed again when Grey took another step.
"Impossible!"
