Grey was not expelled when he arrived before the black star. Noticing this, a bright glint appeared in his eyes, and he flew and landed on the black star.

The moment he landed, he felt the pure form of the laws. Standing atop the black star, he could feel it even more. Hence, the moment he landed, Grey hurriedly spread out the purple intent he had been hiding in his body, and he tried to suppress the black star with the purple moon.

But the moment the suppressive intent flooded out, Grey was instantly sent flying away from the black star.

He flew at a very fast speed and arrived outside the five-thousand-meter mark. In fact, he was sent even farther than that.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. When Grey’s vision cleared, he saw himself back where he started.

However, his expression was terribly pale, and the purple light in his eyes seemed to have dimmed a lot. If this were Grey’s physical body, then he would have coughed out several mouthfuls of blood a long time ago.

After he was sent flying, Grey could tell that it had done a lot of damage to him. Unless he rested, he could not handle another such impact. In fact, his already transparent body became even more transparent.

"I see! This is going to be very difficult," Grey said with a bitter expression on his face as he sat down cross-legged and began to recuperate.

Since this body of his was a spirit body and not his physical body, it did not need spirit energy to nourish it. It also did not have spirit perforations or spirit power running through it.

What it relied on was the continuous supply of divine sense from Grey’s real body. Without it, he could not recuperate and could not last long in this state.

When two hours passed, purple Grey opened his eyes and rushed towards the black star again.

In an instant, his body phased out, and he appeared several hundred meters away. But then, that Grey also phased out and appeared several hundred meters away as well.

In the blink of an eye, he crossed two thousand meters while restraining the suppressive intent in his body.

His eyes shone with a chilling light as he charged forward without hesitation. In another few breaths, Grey had surpassed the three-thousand-meter mark and had entered the two-thousand-meter range.

Very soon, he passed that as well and arrived before the mass of black. The resistance he felt rushing towards it was even less than before.

Grey did not know if that had anything to do with his frequent attempts, but he did not care right now.

He calmly flew and landed on the black star like the last time. But he did not immediately spread out the suppressive intent in a bid to suppress the laws and claim ownership.

Instead, Grey closed his eyes to think.

’The last time I tried that, I was sent flying away before I even knew it. The moment I let out even a trace of the purple crystal’s aura, I will get rejected and instantly be flung away.’

’Although the rebound is harmless, the force at which I am thrown away is not something that this body of mine can handle. Also, the laws do not really place their attention on me. If they did, I would be more injured than I am now,’ Grey said inwardly as he pondered a way to go about this.

But even after thinking for several minutes, no solution came to him. Hence, Grey waited for a few minutes before deciding to try again.

This time, he released all of the purple crystal’s aura immediately in a bid to thoroughly suppress the laws.

But it was as if the laws were not something that could be controlled. They shrugged off the suppressive aura and flung him away at an even faster speed.

When Grey realized what had happened, he was already launched far away. But this time, his body had turned even more transparent than before... he was almost see-through!

A dull ache spread through his head. Along with this dull ache came haziness and slight confusion.

This time, the damage done to him by the rebound was very severe. He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to recover.

After several hours, Grey let out a small sigh. His eyes opened, and within them was slight tiredness.

This tiredness did not stem from physical fatigue, but from the strain of having his divine sense depart from his body for so long. Coupled with the full power of the purple crystal that he constantly released, Grey felt extremely tired and exhausted even without doing anything.

"I failed again..." Grey spoke softly as he looked at the huge black mass in the distance. In this world of pure white, this black mass was very eye-catching and heavily contrasted with the surrounding environment.

"...But this time, I was sent flying after the span of one breath. Yet even after one breath, I was unable to suppress the laws. In fact, the laws shrugged off my suppressive intent like it was nothing."

If it were another person in his shoes, they would probably give up and leave. After all, spending so much time as a spirit body heavily drained the mind.

And Grey had spent a lot of time in this state. His mind was beginning to feel clouded, and he could hardly process his thoughts.

But Grey did not give up. If it were another person, they would say that there was no way, but...

"...But this time, it took one breath to shrug me off, whereas last time, it shrugged me off in an instant!"

A thought suddenly blossomed in his mind.

The laws were also trying to resist Grey the same way he was resisting them. Although it sounded like the laws were unshakable, at this point, they were at their weakest.

They were very close to disappearing and were constantly diminishing. Although it seemed like his efforts were in vain, they were also bearing results.

It was just that the results were not very clear or obvious.

Excitement gradually appeared in the depths of Grey’s eyes, but it soon disappeared. Instead, his expression became solemn and grim.

After his body and mental state recovered, Grey rushed towards the black mass once again. His transparent body moved like a phantom as he crossed a large distance in a very short amount of time.

Although it seemed like Grey was very fast, he was simply taking advantage of the fact that he was a spirit body and lacked a physical form. Also, the nature of this place made it so that things like air resistance and friction were at a bare minimum.

This allowed him to cross the seemingly large distance in no time at all.

When Grey arrived before the black star, he repeated what he had done before and sat down on the star. After doing so, Grey raised his hand and pressed it against the star.

As he did so, a strong suppressive intent burst out from his spirit body and surged into the black star.

But within a few moments, the laws rapidly appeared and knocked him away in a flash.

When Grey reappeared, he was bleeding from his seven orifices, and his entire complexion was pale. Adding to the fact that he was almost transparent, he looked like the ghost of an evil spirit at this moment. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

However, at this time, there was no pain on Grey’s face, but slight anticipation. The time it took to knock him away this time was two and a half breaths!
