Female Novel
Chapter 157
Skye flew for a full day. In that day, Gravis ate a lot of body tempering pills. He didn't need to destroy and reforge his body for itto become stronger. The only reason why he had done that with the Body Ascension Pill was that this was the only way how thepill would work. The other pills simply strengthened the body without destroying it.
In that day, Gravis ate about a third of the pills and reached the peak of the seventh level of the body. He still had some time andcould increase his bodily power into the eighth level, but he stopped. If his body were at the eighth level of Energy Gathering, notmany people would dare fight him. Like this, he would maybe not get enough pills to reach the tenth level.
‘Most people can't feel my physical strength, but some of them can. If anyone powerful notices my body's power, they mightdissuade others from fighting with me, and | can't just go on a killing rampage. The Spirit Forming experts would get involved. |can't fight those, yet,’ thought Gravis with narrowed eyes. ‘Guess this is where I'll stop for now.’
The disciples Gravis had killed also carried a lot of Energy Stones. He had several hundreds of those, and if he took them all, hewould reach the middle of the eighth level of Energy Gathering. He also didn't absorb those for the same reason. He had toaccumulate more pills and stones to rise in one shot. No one would accept fighting a Heavenborn at the ninth level of EnergyGathering with an equally powerful body.
Like this, Skye and Gravis continued flying towards the Earth Guild until...BOOM!
Aloud sound of something hitting the ground reverberated through the surrounding kilometers. Whatever hit the ground had toweigh multiple tons. Gravis' eyes shone with interest, and without him saying anything, Skye charged into the direction where thesound originated.
After some seconds, Gravis and Skye arrived at the location where the sound came from, and they saw a powerful wolf-likecreature. It had a height of around twenty meters, but its front legs were more prominent and more powerful than its hindlegs,creating a bizarre but powerful-looking asymmetry. It was eating an equally giant, dead salamander.
When Gravis saw that beast, his eyes widened in surprise. "High-grade Energy Beast," he said involuntarily. The only high-gradeEnergy Beast that Gravis had ever seen had been Skye's parent. Heaven had made sure that he never saw another one. Yet,they just so happened to stumble upon one.
Gravis continued growing more apprehensive as he thought about this situation. He looked up into the sky. "| wonder why youallow a high-grade Energy Beast to cross my path," Gravis spoke. "Is it because they can't temper me anymore, or is that one ofyour schemes again?"
Of course, Heaven didn't answer. Gravis looked back down at the creature and rubbed his chin in thought. 'I doubt this is ascheme. Beasts can't resist my Will-Aura, and the only thing powerful enough to threaten me is a Spirit Forming expert. If thisbeast has a Spirit Beast parent, its parent wouldn't be in this Middle-Continent. This beast also can't be a pet of anyone of someguild. It's too far away from any guild for that."
After thinking about this, he came to a conclusion. ‘It probably takes too much Energy to control such a powerful beast. Heavenhad been willing to pay that price if those beasts could still function as tempering for me, but with my new Will-Aura, they becametoo weak for that. Heaven probably doesn't care anymore about me finding high-grade Energy Beasts. Might as well accept this"gift". Let's see how this goes."
Gravis jumped off of Skye. His body was powerful enough to withstand a fall with terminal velocity, so that wasn't an issue. Skyelooked at Gravis but didn't decide to get involved. It had fought many powerful high-grade Energy Beasts before, so it might aswell leave this one to Gravis.
The wolf-like creature noticed the falling Gravis and released a loud howl as intimidation. It ran to the place where Gravis wouldland and readied itself, opening its mouth to release powerful lightning. The elemental power of Energy Beasts might be weakerthan those of humans, but such a hit would still injure Gravis a little bit.
WHOOOSH!
An unbearable pressure pressed into the creature, and its eyes widened. It was supremely difficult to move, and it couldn'tmuster the concentration to finish its lightning attack. As Gravis closed in on the ground, more and more trees in thesurroundings were crushed into splinters. The intensity of the Will-Aura grew with proximity to Gravis, so a giant crater alsostarted forming. It looked like a humongous, invisible bowl pressed into the earth.
It grew increasingly harder for the beast to move, and soon, it became impossible. It could only look with scared eyes at itsapproaching doom. Gravis readied his saber for a mighty swing and infused it with 80% of his Energy.
BOOOOOOOM!
Gravis slammed his saber into the head of the beast, and the surroundings erupted in an explosion of dirt and lightning. Gravishad been falling with terminal velocity with his very heavy body, which generated a ridiculous amount of force. Like a meteor, hecreated an even larger crater with his impact. The shockwave uprooted many trees, and the earth blasted away in a wave.
Gravis climbed out of his hole and looked at the creature, and he saw its headless body lying before the hole. The missing headwas blasted onto the surroundings. Seeing that the creature was dead, Gravis absorbed its Energy with the Heaven's BalanceCultivation Technique.
"What?" he exclaimed in shock. Whatdid he feel? This high-grade EnergyBeast only gave him like 5% of mMBe ie basi lly negligible.A Gravis accepted that fact, hecould only sigh. "No wonder you don'tbother to hide those beasts anymore.They give nearly no Energy and notempering,’ Gravis spoke. Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org! Readthe latest chapter there!

Gravis searched around in the surroundings and quickly found a fist-sized Beast Core. He walked over and pocketed it. 'I canprobably sell that.’ Then he turned to Skye. "You can have the beast."

After Skye had its fill, around another half remained of the corpse. Skye gestured to Gravis to jump onto its back, and hecomplied. Then, it grabbed the remaining half and continued flying to the Earth Guild. It could always eat the other half later.
