Chapter 241
“Alright, I'll start. You ready?" Old Man Lightning transmitted to Gravis."Go ahead," Gravis sent back.BZZZ!
Old Man Lightning released a small amount of lightning and shot it towards Gravis. Even though he believed Gravis, he wanted
to be careful. After all, he was four entire Stages higher than Gravis. The lightning hit Gravis, making him feel energized. As the
lightning hit him, the Destruction Energy was absorbed by his inherent lightning while the filtered Life Lightning went towards theclosest thing, which was the Freya's Birch.
The tree released a feeling of joy as it felt the pure Life Energy coursing through it. It absorbed it quickly, but that small bit oflightning was not nearly enough. It wanted more. When Gravis felt the hunger of the tree, he smirked. "No worries, more willcome shortly!" he transmitted to it.
Old Man Lightning saw that Gravis was still fine, so he increased the output to multiple times higher. Gravis felt the lightning andnoticed his lightning steadily growing more powerful. This bit of lightning that Old Man Lightning released was already more thanthose 5,000 Energy Stones had given him.
The lightning kept pouring into Gravis while the filtered Life Lightning went into the tree, which also greedily absorbed it. Yet,greed took ahold of the tree, and it extended its branch into the lightning that came from Old Man Lightning. When Gravis andOld Man Lightning saw that, they gasped in fear and shock. "NO!" they shouted.
BANG!novelbin
Old Man Lightning immediately stopped his lightning, but it was too late. The branch went into the lightning stream andimmediately exploded while a lot of the lightning went through its body. In a panic, Gravis immediately converted all his inherentEnergy into Life Lightning and shot it into the tree, barely saving its life.
The tree remained scorched and black for only a short moment before it regained its vitality, yet it transmitted pain and fear intoGravis now. This was the first time where the tree felt the power of destruction on its body, and it immediately got scared. Thewhole tree swayed violently, and some kind of scream echoed throughout the Sect.
"Calm down! It's over! No one will hurt you!" Gravis shouted at it with his Spirit, trying to soothe it. It was just like a newborn babyand knew nothing about the world. The only thing it felt was pain and fear after this trauma.
Meanwhile, the disciples had first watched in shock as the old man shot lightning violently at Gravis. Was the old man trying tokill him? They didn't know that this was what Gravis wanted since he only talked with Old Man Lightning via his Spirit. Then,when the tree extended its branch into the lightning stream, their faces blanched. Did the tree have a death wish?
Old Man Lightning looked with a bit of fear at the tree, but after noticing that it survived, he released a sigh of relief. Killing theirnew treasure just after it had been created would have been horrible for the Lightning Sect. Luckily, Gravis had acted quicklyenough.
It took Gravis over five minutes to finally make the tree calm down. During that time, he had to latch onto the tree to not fall offsince it was violently shaking. After it finally calmed down, Gravis explained what happened.
"The lightning of other people is dangerous!" he transmitted severely. "Their lightning has Destruction and Life Energy. First, itneeds to pass through my body so that | can convert it to Life Lightning. You can only eat Life Lightning, or you will get hurtagain. Understood?"
The tree transmitted back that it understood. It didn't understand the full concept of Destruction and Life Energy, but itunderstood that it could only eat the lightning that Gravis produced. That was already enough.
After Gravis made sure that the tree understood, he told Old Man Lightning to continue. The old man continued shootinglightning at it while the tree, still afraid of the recent painful experience, pulled its branches as far away from the lightning aspossible. It had no intention of feeling the sensation of pain again.
The lightning hit Gravis again, and its intensity started increasing with time. After a while, Old Man Lightning was shooting witheverything he had, which made Gravis feel as alive as never before. His lightning storage was growing violently. Some straybolts of it were already breaking through his skin.
Old Man Lightning quickly noticed what was happening to Gravis, and he grew astonished. ‘So that's where he stores all hislightning,’ he thought. He had already thought multiple times about how weird Gravis felt to him.
Gravis had nearly no Energy, yet had an abundance of lightning inside of him. Only now did he see the answer. Gravis wascarrying his lightning in his dantian, while the Energy Old Man Lightning felt was only the inherent Energy that a body had. Hisinterest in Gravis grew.
“Alright, I'm nearly empty," Old Man Lightning shouted, this time, not transmitting his voice. Then, he turned to the surroundingdisciples. By now, there were a lot of them since something major was going on. "Now, it's your turn! Go shoot at Gravis witheverything you have! You don't need to use your Spirit. Just shoot your lightning."
The disciples hesitated, but some of them were rather quick-witted and directly shot their lightning at Gravis. If Gravis was ableto resist Old Man Lightning's lightning, then he was surely able to resist their lightning.
BZZZZZZZ!
Multiple streams of lightning shot at Gravis, who had no issue in absorbing all of them. "Come on! Shoot!" Old Man Lightningshouted at the still hesitating disciples. After his shout, they also joined in. The lightning of over a hundred Spirit Forming expertsshot at Gravis, making him feel energized beyond belief.
The tree also started growing violently, even quicker than before. It started growing rapidly until it was over five kilometers tall,yet it didn't stop. Most of the disciples were smart enough to use their Spirits to control the trajectory of lightning, yet there werebound to be some stupid people.
BANG!
Some lightning bolts hit the branch that Gravis stood on, making Gravis panic again. Luckily, since there was a constant streamof Life Lightning going into the tree, he didn't need to heal it manually. On top of that, it seemed like the tree didn't mind thatlightning too much. On top of that...
WACK WACK WACK!
Some branches of the tree immediately whipped away the three offending disciples. The disciples hadn't been ready for anattack, so they got flung into some nearby buildings. Apparently, the tree was smart enough already to see who had attacked itand retaliate. Its rapid growth was also quickly making it smarter.
"Stop!" it transmitted into its surroundings, making many of the disciples lose control over their jaws. The tree was already able totransmit simple words. That meant that it had reached the level of a Spirit Plant.
“Alright, everyone! Stop!" Old Man Lightning's imposing voice echoed throughout the Sect, making the disciples stop. The lastbolts of lightning shot at Gravis and got converted. Gravis released a happy sigh but was immediately surprised by how high upin the air he was.
‘That's nearly ten kilometers high! The canopy of the tree is even penetrating the storm clouds. Wait, what about the lightning?’he thought in panic and looked around. Gravis was inside the storm clouds, so he could only watch the situation with his Spirit.Yet, what he saw, relieved him.
He saw how the lightning of the clouds moved around the tree. In the beginning, Gravis questioned how that was possible. Sincethe tree was connected to the ground, why would it be able to not get affected by natural lightning?
Yet, the answer came rather quickly. By now, the tree was feeling like lightning to Gravis. As Gravis noticed that, he came upon arealization. ‘Of course! The tree has a very high affinity with lightning, basically making it one with it. Normal lightning has nointention of attacking it. Only when a will is behind lightning will it attack the tree.’
Gravis sighed in relief again and then jumped down. "That should be enough food for now," Gravis transmitted to the tree.
"Thank you, father," it transmitted to Gravis, making him nearly lose his balance in the air.
‘Did the tree just call me father?’ hethought in shock. No one had evercalled him father bef, (S Wascit finef the weetoic8ll h m that? Aftersome thought, Gravis decided not tomind it. After all, he kind of was itscreator. Calling him father wasn'tentirely wrong. The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!

“Hey, could you please help me down more gently?" Gravis transmitted to the tree mid-fall.The tree quickly coiled a branch around him, slowing his fall. Then, it moved him down gently.
As Gravis broke through the canopy of the clouds, he realized something as he looked down. "Oh, that's why they stopped," hesaid involuntarily.
The tree had destroyed the ground inthe surrounding 500 meters.Buildings were destroyed, and thosethat still stood, stqod ADan? ?irapossib Ore nearly vertical.

Buildings that were previously on the ground were now many meters in the air, their furniture falling through the windows andopen doors. The tree was even rather close to the Lightning Tower.
The branch stopped around two meters above the ground, uncoiling itself and letting Gravis stand on it. "Thanks," hetransmitted.
Gravis jumped down from the branch, landing on the floor.BOOOOOOOM!
And everything around him exploded in a storm of violent Destruction Lightning.
