Lightning Is the Only Way

After some hours of travel and leaving an incredibly long cut in the earth, Gravis finally arrived at his first destination. Gravis looked with narrowed eyes at the white castle in front of him.

It was the south-eastern branch of the Heaven Sect.

Gravis used his Spirit to inspect the building but noticed that his Spirit was blocked by something. "Of course, they wouldn't leave it undefended when everyone left for the headquarter," Gravis muttered. There had to be some excellent Formation Arrays protecting the branch.

"Well, if I can't get to your wealth the normal way, I hope you don't mind me being impolite," Gravis said with a smirk.

Yes, he was here to rob the Heaven Sect. It was Aion's branch, but that was unimportant. Aion knew that Heaven wouldn't live for much longer, so he probably wouldn't mind Gravis destroying this branch. The Heaven Sect was, after all, his enemy.

BZZZZZ!

Gravis' surroundings exploded with lightning. His whole body released lightning, and it circled around him violently. Gravis pointed at the white castle. "Go!" he shouted.

BANG!

All the lightning flew at the castle, yet some kind of barrier appeared in its way. The lightning exploded as it hit the barrier, but the barrier only shook. Gravis could see no cracks. When he saw this, he furrowed his brows. "Quite impressive," he commented.

Gravis then concentrated himself to ready a more powerful attack. This barrier was a good target to test the power of his attacks. Gravis summoned more lightning but didn't shoot it immediately. Instead, he gathered it together and compressed it. His control over lightning was superb, but it still took him around two seconds to compress a five-cubic meter amount of lightning into one spear.

all this lightning took a lot of Spirit and concentration. Gravis grabbed the lightning

a weapon out of lightning, even if they were lightning cultivators. Yet, since Gravis basically was lightning, the lightning didn't lash out at him. Gravis was lightning, and lightning was Gravis.

BOOM!

loud thunder boomed throughout the surrounding kilometers as the lightning spear hit the barrier. Many beasts fled in panic when they heard the thunder. The whole barrier shook violently, and some cracks appeared at the place where
