Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis, Stella, and Liam appeared in the middle of nowhere.

"Gravis!" Stella shouted with urgency, panic, longing, and fear. She knew that they had not nearly reached safety yet. The Sect Master was sure to send that one Ascender with the level six Law of Space after them!

"No time! Trust me!" Gravis transmitted to both of them at once.

PACK!

Gravis threw his Life Ring to Stella, who caught it immediately.

"Liam, into the ring!" Gravis ordered.

Liam didn't say anything and simply entered the ring at the same time as Gravis.

"I am the owner of the ring, which means I can still spread my Spirit Sense to the outside and communicate with you," Gravis transmitted to Stella from inside the ring.

"You know the Law of Primordial Force, and your Realm is higher than mine. You are faster with teleportation. Immediately teleport to this spot!" Gravis transmitted.

At the same time, Stella received the image of a map. There was a marked spot at exactly the edge of the frontlines where humans and beasts met.

Stella grew nervous. If they went there, they wouldn't be beyond the Spirit Sense of that terrifying Ascender. Even more, the beast territory was just before them. They would get killed by an avalanche of beasts!

However, she trusted Gravis fully, and she immediately started teleporting.

All of this had not even taken a second. Communication with voice transmission was nearly instantaneous, and Cultivators on their levels could think very quickly.

SHING! SHING! SHING!

Stella made one teleportation after the other with urgency.

In less than a minute, they saw an army of Cultivators and fortifications made out of Formation Arrays.

There were so many Formation Arrays that it was insane. In fact, the Nine Elements Sect's headquarters couldn't compare to this region.

These were the frontlines, and they ensured that humanity continued to survive. 80% of the humans' resources went to the frontlines, and they were absolutely packed with fortifications and soldiers.

Stella could even already feel the shockwaves of fighting. Beasts and humans were in constant conflict all over the entire frontlines. Humans invaded the beast territory in order to kill as many beasts as possible. If they relaxed for even a couple of years, there would be so many beasts that they could attack the fortifications.

The humans would still be able to defend themselves against such an assault, but they would be using more resources than they would have saved up in 100 years. If this happened a couple of times, the saved up resources of humanity would be ground to dust, severely weakening the fortifications.

That was why the frontlines were under constant battle. It was a literal meatgrinder that worked at 100% of its capacity.

The frontlines stretched over a gigantic territory, but it was nothing compared to the entire beast territory or human territory. Thousands of Cultivators and beasts died every hour on the frontlines, and it was the primary way to temper oneself as a human or beast.

Constant, unstoppable fighting.

When Gravis saw the frontlines, he truly understood how this higher world could have become so powerful.

In the middle world, only the weaker beasts had constantly fought. Everyone else had waited on the defensive lines. The strong beasts only saw fights every couple of years.

But here, absolutely everyone was going crazy.

Any Cultivator that had lived their life in peace, after they came here, would realize that their world was not as safe as they thought.

If any one of these frontlines fell, an apocalyptic army of beasts would swallow the land, killing every human they saw, mortal and Cultivator alike.

These frontlines instilled a sense of urgency in everyone's Spirit.

Their world was constantly on the brink of destruction!

Stella continued teleporting and came to the Formation Arrays.
