Female Novel
Chapter 208
Why had Gravis not checked for poison?There were two main reasons for this.
The first reason was that he had not met any such "snakes" before. Jaimy could be considered one, but he had attacked him outof nowhere, which was more like a direct attack. Gravis had never been subject to such indirect schemes like poison. Sear hadalso been very convincing with his lies.
Though, that was not the most significant reason. The biggest reason was that Gravis knew that his whole being was so atypical,that probably no poison in this world could affect him.
Poison that attacked the Spirit? His Spirit was full of Destruction Lightning, the purest form of destruction that existed. Anythingthat entered his Spirit would be annihilated.
Poison that attacked his dantian? His dantian was also not filled with Energy. It was filled with pure Destruction Lightning, justlike his Spirit. The same reason applied.
Poison that attacked his will? Gravis already had a Unity Will. A Unity Will corresponded to the Unity Realm, which was the mostpowerful Realm in this lower world. That basically already counted as something above this world. Nothing would be able todamage his will in this world.
Poison that attacked his body? That was the biggest concern, but his Unity Will or Destruction Lightning could counteract anypoison attacking his body.
Basically, no matter what poison was used, Gravis would be easily able to counter it. His whole being was too extraordinary toget influenced by a poison. When Gravis heard that he had been poisoned, he wasn't shocked or distraught, but happy. Thiswould make others underestimate him.
Gravis looked at the others as they readied themselves to leave. "You do know that | have an exceptionally powerful body,right?" he asked Sear.
Sear laughed. "Sure, but we can just suppress you one at a time until your stamina runs out. At that point, we will just cut off yourlimbs and carry you. Though, that's troublesome, so please don't do that. It's just easier if you come with us."
Gravis didn't answer that statement. Instead, he asked another question. "So, are you all Heavenborn?"
Sear nodded with a smile. "Of course! You have remained in the Heaven Sect for a while, so you should know that the HeavenSect has the best intelligence department in the whole world. Have you never questioned why it was this good?"
Gravis continued looking evenly at Sear. "Because there are high-level spies in every Elemental Sect?" he asked.
Sear nodded twice. "Exactly! Most Heavenborn are actually naturally created spies. Our Heavenly Pressure is weaker than theusual Heavenborn, but we can keep it up for way longer. This simulates a Will-Aura. Like this, we join the guilds and climb tohighly ranked positions. We have no bottlenecks, after all," then Sear laughed slightly. "You would be surprised by how manyspies we actually have. 70% of all Heavenborn are just hidden spies in other sects. Impressive, isn't it?"
Gravis thought in silence. This was actually incredible. He hadn't known that there were so many Heavenborn hidden in othersects. No wonder the sects and guilds couldn't keep secrets. Then, Gravis looked at Sear again. "How did you know which meatstick | would eat?”novelbin
Sear continued smiling. "We didn't. We poisoned all of them. You're the only one who cultivates lightning, so we don't care aboutthe poison. We can just remove it with our element."
Gravis had already thought as much. That had been his suspicion from the beginning. "So, who gave you this mission?"
Sear rubbed the back of his neck with a smile. "Actually, this isn't really a mission. We just call it like that. The Heaven Sect hasinformed us about your status and what to do with you. When | met you in the Earth Guild, | asked you where you were goingjust for this. Informing the Heaven Sect would take a while since it's rather far away. If you had left like a week later, it wouldn't beus waiting for you, but a priest. We just couldn't inform them in this short time frame."
Gravis narrowed his eyes more. "So, the Heaven Sect doesn't know about my current whereabouts?"Sear waved his hand nonchalantly. "No, it's only us. We wanted to surprise our teachers."
Gravis sighed deeply. "That's good."
BOOM BANG!
An explosion of pure lightning came out of Gravis’ feet, accelerating him with the greatest speed possible. Gravis instantlyreached Sear and punched with his fist, which immediately exploded with lightning. Sear's body exploded into uncountable smallpieces before he could even react.
The other Heavenborn looked stunned at Gravis. They had been ready for him trying anything like this. They had even knownabout all the attacks he had shown in the Earth Guild. With only his physical body, he wouldn't have been able to be thisridiculously fast. Yet, what had happened? Wasn't his lightning disabled?
“Plan B!" shouted the Vice-Guild Master of Darkness. They all activated their Heavenly Pressure at once. The combinedHeavenly Pressure pressed into Gravis, but he quickly countered with his Will-Aura.
WHOOOM!
The Heavenly Pressures were pushed back into their bodies, and the Heavenborn felt an unreal power pressing into them,making it nearly impossible to move. Gravis looked at them and saw that they had retrieved several pills. They were about to popthem into their mouths, but Gravis’ Will-Aura stopped this.
The eyes of the Heavenborn widened with more shock. They couldn't even pop the pills into their mouths.Crack.
Asmall cracking sound came out of the mouth of the water Heavenborn's mouth. This was the sound of a pill breaking. Gravis’eyes widened as he realized what had happened. She had been so careful that she already had a prepared pill in her mouth.Gravis immediately burst towards her with his speed.
WHOOM!
Her Heavenly Pressure's power increased as she broke into the Seed Stage of the Spirit Forming Realm. Gravis' Will-Aurafocused most of its strength at her, lessening its power on the others. Gravis used his explosive movement again as he shottowards her with all his speed. While running forward, he retrieved his saber from his Spirit Space.
BOOM!
The water Heavenborn was able to move again, and she had retrieved a thin and long rapier from her Spirit Space. Shemanaged to block Gravis' attack. Yet, in the next second, several things happened.
Crack crack crack.
The other three Heavenbornmanaged to pop their pills into theirmouths, making them also reach theSeed Stage. Yet, s athingddd | 'happeribd When t e waterHeavenborn blocked the saber, shewasn't pushed back. One needed toknow that Gravis had the mostpowerful body out of everyonepresent. So, how was she able toremain stable under Gravis’ attack?The content is on NovelDrama.Org!Read the latest chapter there!
The answer to that was that Gravis didn't want to push her back. As his saber got blocked by the rapier, Gravis showed a smile.A dot of concentrated lightning at the saber's edge, which was not blocked by the rapier, lighted up. A fully loaded, violent streakof lightning jumped out of the saber, avoiding the currently blocking rapier.
BANG!
A tremendous thunder exploded into the surroundings as the violent lightning bolt hit the water Heavenborn's body. She couldn'teven release a scream as her whole body got incinerated. This attack had been a result of Gravis thinking about how to utilizehis saber with his lightning.
When he had attacked the barrieraround the Heaven Sect, he hadrealized that he needed to place theconcentrated dot of lightniag? ee}perfectivon the part of the saber'sedge that would hit the target. Likethis, he would achieve maximumdestructive potential. That, of course,was hard. Only with a stabbingmotion would that be realisticallyachievable on a living target.

Yet, some disadvantages could become advantages in the right circumstances. If a weapon blocked Gravis’ slash, he couldrelease a fully loaded lightning bolt from melee range, creating an instantaneous second attack.
What about the Energy and Spirit consumption? This whole thing would take a lot of Energy and Spirit usually, but Gravis had, ofcourse, already pre-loaded his saber. Like this, he could release a devastating attack without wasting any Spirit or Energy. Ofcourse, that only worked once per fight since he had to reload it.
As Gravis absorbed the Energy and Spirit of the two dead Heavenborn, Gravis realized something. The Energy that entered hisdantian was converted to lightning, refilling it completely. Yet, it didn't increase the amount of Energy that Gravis’ dantian couldhold. The Energy only allowed him to refill his expended lightning.
A similar thing happened to his Spirit.The Spirit that entered into Gravis’mind was not absorbed butdestroyed. Gravis eguidn't aboot theSpirit which Made him furrow hisbrows. ‘It seems like the Heaven'sBalance Cultivation Techniquedoesn't work with my current body.Though, that makes sense. It'screated for a normal body, and | don'thave a normal body anymore.’ Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org! Readthe latest chapter there!
The good came with the bad, and the bad came with the good. This was a fundamental truth of the world. Yet, the technique wasnot useless. At least, it could refill his Energy, making it way easier to fight long battles with many opponents. As long as he killedpeople, he would never run out of lightning.
The other three had already broken through into the Seed Stage, and Gravis' moment of surprise was over. He had killed twopeople in that short time frame, but now, he had three enemies in front of him, which were one stage higher than him.
The stages in the Spirit Forming Realm were different from the stages in the Energy Gathering Realm. The strength of eachstage didn't double, but quadruple. Gravis narrowed his eyes at them.
‘This won't be easy."
