Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis looked at the three fruits in his hands with intensity. This was a level five Law, his first level five Law!

However, Gravis resisted the urge to swallow them immediately and put them into his Life Ring. There were two things he had to check first, but even that had to wait.

'I'm done with the beast territory for now,' Gravis thought. 'I managed to increase my Will-Aura even more, and I gained these invaluable fruits. Now, it's time to prepare for Siral's tribulation.'

When Gravis thought about Siral's tribulation, his eyes narrowed, and his heart shuddered. 'Five levels above myself. On top of that, this is an Immortal King from the Core Region, which means that they will be very powerful even for their Realm.'

'This reminds me too much of the time when I challenged the middle Heaven. It feels absolutely insane and suicidal to challenge someone that powerful.'

'However, I have to do this. If I want to challenge Arc in the future, I have to get through this. I need to push my strength to its absolute limits if I ever want to fight Arc.'

Gravis knew very well what kind of risk he was taking. Winning against someone five levels above himself seemed impossible, but Gravis had to make the impossible possible.

'Let me return to the human territory first,' Gravis thought as he activated the Life Ring. Gravis currently didn't know where exactly he was, but Siral's location in comparison to his own would help him find the correct direction.

"Siral, go to a safe area without any Cultivators close to the frontline. I'm about to return," Gravis transmitted to his Life Ring.

"Yes, Master," the Life Ring answered.

After that, Gravis came out of the ground and shot towards the west. Apparently, he had traveled to the east in the past 200 years.

It took a couple of days, but Gravis arrived near the border of the beast territory again. Just as before, Gravis entered the ground and went as far down as was possible for him. Then, he traveled towards the northwest.

A couple of hours later, Gravis arrived in front of the gigantic root network again. Gravis had to stop before the root network since it didn't react to him.
