Lightning Is the Only Way novel is a popular light novel covering Eastern Fantasy, Action, and Adventure genres. Written by the Author Warmaisach. 1329 chapters have been translated and translation of all chapters was completed.

Summary

With a father as strong as the highest heavens themselves, Gravis wasn't required to step into the cold and ruthless world of cultivation.

But when Heaven used him in a scheme to get back at his father, Gravis realized that he needed strength to gain true freedom.

As long as he remained his weak self, he would always remain beneath Heaven’s oppression. Only true power brings true freedom.

To gain strength, Gravis ventured into the lower worlds to start his cultivation under true life and death tempering.

Only a strong will, which had been forged in striving for every resource available, would allow him to reach the peak.

Heaven’s strongest weapon was Lightning of Divine Punishment, and only if he made this weapon his, would he have a chance.

So, to overthrow Heaven,

Lightning Is the Only Way!

Yet, the path to power is painful.

Not everyone reaches the peak.

But Gravis will!

No matter how much pain he feels along the way!

    I swear to god bruh every chapter have the same comments about shang this shang that,sword god etc. Please stop spoiling both novels for other readers. Also stop comparing both the characters,they're meant to show different approach to the same goal.

      I'm an avid Anti-Romance person (having completed a total of 4 books that had Romance. This being 1 of them) And I can confidently say, just continue reading. 🤷‍♂️ If anything to do with the FL is boring you, just speed read through it. She's only in like 5-15% iirc (mainly during high-world) and due to the time scale of what's happening, and everything mostly focusing on Gravis, she doesn't really pop up much. Plus, she's also not like, dead weight and stuff lol.

      he has a little emo phase but it’s only for less than like 100-50 chapters, and it’s not even bad

    I found the wrong book can someone help the story starts with somebody creating a character and then becomes the character. Mc uses lighting abilities and starts out in a world that was rigged by a higher existence to harvest cultivators who attempt to ascend. He gets a system but the system is damaged. Its completed.

        I found it the reason I was having so much trouble was because the book is not on this site but the author is. Kuropon is the author he has 3 books.

      this novel becomes enjoyable and after some time you will start liking it a lot but towards the end it just starts getting unreadable that's why I dropped it after a little more than 1000 chapters in

      • Stupidityfinest 2

        Both are pretty good(mainly depends on your kinda story).Sword god is very progression based and the MC is cold with his actions. So if you like grueling and satisfying training, i'd recommend it. The story is a bit slow tho. Kill the sun, I haven't gotten far but it seems promising with the well done execution so far.

    novel is good but the mc is the only one that's really important to the story. all of the buildup of 1k chapters were just wasted at the end. his friends and sh*t didn't even do anything. all the abilities he got throughout his journey didn't amount to anything. great novel but could've been better

      True! But what's truly important is what comes after LITOW, as we can all see in SGWM and possibly KTS in the future. . Maybe there's more to it, Warmaisach's novels don't really have a true ending to them, yet.

    going to start reading this today. the only reason I've been putting this of is because of the synopsis.its said that the lightning of the heavens is the most powerful thing or ability. so naturally the bar became very low so i didn't want to read it anymore but now I don't have an option. every other novel I turn to is somehow sh*t so hope this one satisfies me

      Personally, all of the works by this author have been entirely pleasant reads that I look back at as a standard when reading others, I'd entirely recommend it to be read

      so? im in the same situation as you. Please say that this is good so that i can read

      • yashas18 1

        I've currently stopped reading it around 60 chapters, the mc is literally a teen so his character growth arc is going to be very long, I think there will be some inconsistency and plot holes but as far as I can tell this is the type of story where the world or the realm they're living in has been blocked or controlled by a top figure or some consciousness awakening within the heaven and earth, and his father is fighting against it. now the heaven and earth wants to screw over the mc and the usual mc overcomes everything with his protagonist charm. nothing bad but been tired of such stories so I dropped it for now

        You should keep reading, it’s not a read where the protagonist is pure in a sense but that will be explained later. He does sometimes get away easy with pure luck but luck will stop mastering later and he will rely on his own abilities most of the time.
