Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis looked at Zero's Essence, and he noticed that he could now see far more clearly what others were thinking. Gravis couldn't read the Law fragments yet, but he had a very good inkling as to what other people were thinking.

At the moment, Zero's Essence looked at Gravis like an annoying novelty.

On one hand, Gravis had caused a lot of issues, and he had even destroyed two Law Comprehension Areas for level nine Laws. On top of that, he had also killed several Cultivators and had put the Lightning Peak Sect at risk.

Yet, on the other hand, Gravis had shown incredible powers, and Zero's Essence was intrigued as to what Gravis would do next. She was also very interested in what Gravis could do and how his powers worked.

One could say Gravis was like an exotic animal in someone's home. It definitely was interesting to see such an animal up close, but it couldn't possibly remain in the home, and it had already ruined some pieces of furniture.

Zero's Essence didn't much care for the Lightning Peak Sect's fate, but she knew that, as the Ancestor, it was her responsibility to keep the Sect alive.

"The Ancestor of the Lightning Peak Sect, Zero's Essence," Gravis said with a slight smirk.

Zero's Essence furrowed her brows.

Ancestral Gods wouldn't recognize her, and it was even more unlikely that they knew her title.

Yet, this Ancestral God knew her position and title, even though they had never met before.

"You caused quite a ruckus," Zero's Essence commented emotionlessly.

"I did," Gravis answered with a slight smirk.

Zero's Essence intensified her Will-Aura. Yes, Gravis was unparalleled in his Realm, but he was still far below her in power and Battle-Strength.

In her mind, power was everything, and Gravis definitely didn't have the power to look into her eyes on equal footing.

Yet, he acted like he did.

Gravis felt the Will-Aura become more powerful, but he didn't care.

The Law of Perceived Reality was a level ten Law, and it boosted the power of the True Law of Freedom also to the power of a level ten Law.

Only true Heaven's Magnates could suppress Gravis.

Gravis slowly raised his hand and cleaned some hot iron from his shirt, which was a senseless action since he was currently surrounded by hot iron.

Yet, the action had still fulfilled its intended purpose.

Zero's Essence's eyes released a cold light as she looked at Gravis.

"How can you move under my Will-Aura?" she asked with a cold voice.

"Why should I tell you?" Gravis answered with a smirk.

Zero's Essence didn't react. "I'm not up for games."

"This is not a game," Gravis said. "I simply won't tell you."

"You should know how power works," she answered. "Your compliance isn't a factor."

"Does power change anything in the current situation?" Gravis asked.

This took Zero's Essence by surprise, but she didn't let it show on her face. It was like Gravis denied a fundamental truth of how the world worked.

"Yes, it does," she answered.

Gravis only smirked.
