299. Deal

The ancient battlefield was vast and desolate. Below, there was a massive crater, as if a great force had caused the ground to collapse and fracture. It appeared scarred and damaged.

Lin Fei arrived at the outskirts of the ancient battlefield. The place was deserted. The scope of the ancient battlefield was enormous, and its edges were expansive and almost endless. He could sense any movement from a long distance away. Moreover, Lin Fei did not conceal his presence, ensuring that the mysterious woman could find him easily.

About an hour later, a figure approached from a distance. It was a woman, her demeanor cold as ice, but her aura was weak, seemingly just at the Martial Saint level. In other places, a Martial Saint would be considered powerful. But on the ancient battlefield, they would be in great danger, nearly akin to a death wish.

"Are you the one with information about the Gravity Stone?" Lin Fei calmly asked.

The woman gritted her teeth and solemnly replied, "Senior, I indeed know of the Gravity Stone's whereabouts. Moreover, it's a large piece with an intense gravitational pull, surely enough to meet your needs. I can lead you to it."

Lin Fei studied the woman. She had witnessed him kill the Five Elders of Taiyi Dao Palace and knew his strength. She would not dare to lie to him. There must be genuine information about the Gravity Stone.

"What do you want in return? Martial arts secrets? Elixirs?" Lin Fei believed that, for a Martial Saint like her, he could satisfy her demands.

The woman gritted her teeth again and firmly stated, "I don't need martial arts secrets, nor do I need elixirs. I only have one condition. I hope you can kill someone for me—a Martial Sovereign who has cultivated three Lesser Divine Abilities. Since you could kill the Five Elders from Taiyi Dao Palace, you can surely kill this Martial Sovereign."

"Assist you in killing a Martial Sovereign?" Lin Fei looked at her and then nodded, "I agree."

The woman appeared somewhat stunned upon hearing Lin Fei's prompt agreement. She had prepared various arguments, yet Lin Fei had accepted without any hesitation.

"You agreed, just like that?" She asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I did."

A glint flashed in his eyes as he took a step forward. Having tested his Saber Domain earlier, he had a rough idea of the strength of gravity. Now, he wanted to experience it firsthand.

As expected, when Lin Fei reached above the valley, a powerful gravitational force immediately yanked him down, pulling him swiftly toward the valley floor.

"Senior!" The woman exclaimed, a trace of worry evident in her voice. However, she dared not get any closer and could only watch from afar.

"Gravity Domain!" As Lin Fei plummeted at a rapid pace due to the overwhelming gravitational pull, he knew that the powerful force would be lethal once he crashed into the valley floor. Even his robust physique wouldn't be able to withstand the impact.

But Lin Fei possessed the Gravity Domain. With this ability, he could manipulate gravity within its confines and remain unaffected by external gravitational forces. As he activated it, his descent slowed considerably. However, the Gravity Domain alone wasn't strong enough to counteract the immense gravitational force of the valley, it only reduced a fraction of it.

"Saber Domain!" Lin Fei then deployed his Saber Domain. Individually, neither the Saber Domain nor the Gravity Domain could completely withstand the crushing gravitational force, but when combined, they held firm against it. As a result, Lin Fei's rapid descent came to a halt, and he began to descend slowly and deliberately.

Upon reaching the valley floor, Lin Fei observed a colossal skeleton that appeared to belong to an enormous beast. It seemed as though this gargantuan creature had been brutally smashed into the valley. Or more accurately, the valley itself had been formed by the impact of this exotic beast's crash landing. This was the aftermath of a force so potent that it carved out an entire valley, leaving the exotic beast lifeless.

Scattered on the ground were various small stones. These were the Gravity Stones. However, upon closer inspection, Lin Fei realized that these stones were fragments of bones. Over an extended period, these bone fragments merged with the soil to form rocks. And the most terrifying gravitational pull didn't emanate from these stones but from the enormous skeleton itself.

"So, the Gravity Stones are essentially the bones of this exotic beast?" Lin Fei pondered. "Could it be that certain exotic beasts inherently possess the ability to manipulate gravity? Even in death, their bones generate such a formidable gravitational field?"

Lin Fei was astounded. Such a magnificent creature that could control gravity must have been extraordinarily formidable in its lifetime. Yet, despite its immense power, this beast had been forcefully hurled to the ground, creating an entire valley in the process. What force or being was capable of slaughtering such beasts?

"Having found the source of the gravity and being so elated has led to a sudden insight, your Divine Ability Gravity Domain has now entered a state of enlightenment, and its cultivation progress is accelerating."

1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%...

A voice echoed in Lin Fei's mind. The progress of his Gravity Domain cultivation was increasing at a visible pace. The intense gravitational stimuli here made it the perfect environment for the Gravity Domain.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
