Chapter 625: Into the Ground (2/2)

”Follow me into the hole,” Gravis ordered. ”I want to take a look at gravity. If you want, you can also try to comprehend it. However, I probably won't be able to exit myself. That's why I need you close to me. You're a level three Emperor, and your body is many times more powerful than mine.”

”Yes, Master,” Morus said.

Gravis nodded and entered the hole again as Morus followed behind him.

'Luckily, I have Morus. Otherwise, I would need to make some kind of rope or contraption to pull me out. Using a contraption is far riskier since I don't exactly know what will happen as soon as I lose against the gravity,' Gravis thought. 'Someone with more power is much more reliable.'

Did Gravis have any worries about Morus betraying him or breaking free of the control of the Life Ring?

No.

Where did the Life Ring come from? It came from the highest world and could even contain some weaker Immortals. It was specifically designed to keep such beasts under control. If it were so easy for the Life Ring to break, it wouldn't sell at all.

Why was the Life Ring so popular in the first place?

Simple, it acted as a portable barracks for bodyguards. Some Cultivator Clans would fill a Life Ring with powerful beasts and give the ring to their weak progeny. Like this, their progeny would always be protected by several powerful beasts without the Clans having to waste personnel.

Because of that, the Life Ring had to be reliable. Otherwise, all the progeny of these Clans would die to their own bodyguards. Gravis knew all this since he wanted to know the uses of what he had actually bought. Gravis knew that sometimes an unreliable weapon was even worse than having no weapon at all.

In no time at all, Gravis and Morus shot past the depth of 15.000 kilometers. Morus was a level three Emperor with a fire affinity. The heat down here was not hard for him to resist.

”Are you still in control, Morus?” Gravis asked.

”Yes, Master,” Morus answered.

”How much further do you think you can go until it becomes difficult?” he asked.

”Probably around 10.000 kilometers more. I estimate that the gravity and heat down there will be difficult for me to resist,” Morus said.

Gravis nodded. ”I don't intend to go that far. The gravity is already becoming difficult for me to resist right now. Morus, grab my tail,” Gravis said as he extended his tail.

Morus grabbed the tail with one of his claws.

”When I tell you to pull, you need to get me out of here,” Gravis said.

”Yes, Master,” Morus said.

”Alright,” Gravis said as he looked downward with shining eyes. ”Let's do this!”

Then, Gravis shot downward with more power as Morus followed him.

At a depth of 17.000 kilometers, Gravis stopped resisting the pull and ordered Morus to keep him stable. Trying to keep himself stable cost more Energy than he was regenerating. As long as he let Morus carry him, he wouldn't need to waste Energy on that.

”Bring me deeper,” Gravis ordered as he hung from Morus' claw with his tail.

Morus slowly brought them lower.

And when they reached a depth of 19.000 kilometers, Gravis ordered Morus to stop.
