Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis had to take a deep breath. He knew that the higher Heaven would be powerful, but that powerful? Gravis knew that he was also very powerful, but he couldn't even imagine reaching such an insane level of Law Comprehension as an Immortal Emperor.

But Gravis remembered the words that his father had spoken to the highest Heaven. "But I'm not supposed to fight someone that powerful, right?" Gravis asked.

The Opposer nodded. "More or less," he said as he drank more coffee. "The only way for you to not receive the Brand is to fight the Old Bastard's firstborn, but the firstborn won't be allowed to unleash its full strength."

"In the end, we agreed that the Old Bastard's firstborn would only be allowed to unleash the Law of the Living World," the Opposer said.

Gravis took a deep breath again. This was still incredibly powerful, but at least he could see a chance. "I presume this does not include the Emotional Laws?" Gravis asked.

The Opposer nodded again. "It's only the Law of the Dead World combined with the Law of Life. Yet, the Old Bastard's firstborn has the Law of the Living World as its Avatar. This means that all Elemental, Material and Life Laws can be wielded on a higher level. You will have to fight against someone that can unleash a vast multitude of different attacks on the level of level seven Laws, also called Highest Laws."

Gravis nodded. The level seven Laws were called Highest Laws because Cultivators only came in contact with these Laws in the highest world, and this Heaven would be able to unleash a ton of them.

"How many Immortal Emperors know the Law of the Dead World?" Gravis asked.

"Depends on which one you mean and where," the Opposer said. "The Mid-Tier Law of the Dead World is not common at all since the Immortal Emperors in the higher worlds have no way to look at weaker materials from a middle world. In comparison, in the highest world, around 1% know the Mid-Tier Law of the Dead World. Jake is one of them."

Gravis nodded.

"The High-Tier Law of the Dead World is basically unseen at this level. Right now, there are two Immortal Emperors in existence that know it. It only becomes more common in the Star God Realm, but it's rare even among them."

"As for the High-Tier Law of the Living World," the Opposer said as he paused. "No one below the Ancestral God Realm has ever managed to learn this Law."
