Chapter 442: Tribulation

After the system’s alert, Aakesh disappeared from his chair and appeared in the air right on the top of the store’s building.

He then looked up and found the Honaer not far from him, looking at the sky with stupefied expressions.

The sky was slowly turning darker as if it was welcoming something terrible.

Since Aakesh was now an Immortal in terms of Primal dimension cultivation, he could float in the air without any suppression by the rule of Visteerna.

Aakesh then looked around the city, only to find that the citizens all around the city looked at the sky with horrified faces.

Since Aakesh was an Immortal, he felt no pressure from the upcoming tribulation, but the citizens weren’t that strong. An invisible pressure was attacking them, threatening to destroy them completely.

Right at that moment, George, Evelyn, Maria, and the other members of the organization Skylord exited the building next to Aakesh’s store as they also sensed the upcoming tribulation.

The pressure released by the upcoming tribulation started attacking Maria and the other members. Only George and Evelyn were Immortals, so they only felt a breeze, but the same couldn’t be said for others.

Maria, especially, looked the worst in the group since she was only a Nascent Soul level cultivator and hence was the weakest of the group.

Evelyn, standing next to Maria, acted straight away. She covered Maria with her Immortal level aura, bringing relief to her. She then looked toward the sky, only to notice Aakesh floating there.

A respectful expression appeared on Maria’s face as she couldn’t even imagine disrespecting Aakesh even when he wasn’t looking toward her.

“Rumble!”

Suddenly the sky rumbled, announcing the upcoming arrival of the Primal tribulation.

Aakesh knew he couldn’t wait anymore as the pressure released by the tribulation had already started to affect the people and structures around the area.

Aakesh then released his aura. Even the sky seemed to stop for a second as if it was facing something invincible.

It only restarted again when it noticed that Aakesh’s aura wasn’t its enemy.

Aakesh’s aura started spreading like a tide. In no time, it covered the entirety of Kakot and continued spreading forward.

Those who came under cover of Aakesh’s aura felt themselves getting released by the pressure and a warm feeling covering them.

The next moment, Aakesh’s aura stopped further spreading as it had covered the entire area in the range of the upcoming Primal tribulation.

On some location on the Mysterious peak, the hooded figure was moving toward the last step of his goal after having the item and killing Pucchi when he suddenly had to stop as an invisible pressure began attacking him.

He was a Tao Seed level expert, so the pressure didn’t feel threatening, but its intensity increased with passing time.

Then suddenly, when the intensity of the pressure attacking him reached an extent where he felt an itch, a warm feeling out of nowhere appeared and covered him.

“What’s happening, master?” The hooded figure mumbled as he felt afraid of the sudden situation.

The figure stopped there and decided not to move until this warm feeling disappeared.

He made such a decision as his intuition warned him against the aura covering him.

The hooded figure wasn’t the only one. Several figures who lived in seclusion around the area started coming out of their meditations by the sudden attack of the pressure and then the arrival of the warm aura.

Maria, who had just gotten help from Evelyn, also felt the warm aura around her getting torn and then another aura replacing it. She found it familiar. Her face couldn’t help but turn red as she looked toward the sky and found Aakesh there.

Evelyn only smiled wryly, seeing the expression on Maria’s face. Since the start of the organization, Evelyn and Maria both had their own goals, but since they lived in the same place, they had become good friends. Maria had shared everything about her past, including the feelings of attraction she once had for Aakesh.

“What just happened here?” Votayl muttered after Hartol suddenly disappeared from his eyes.

Since the system stopped his senses from crossing the walls or learning the situations outside the store, Votayl didn’t know that Hartol was above the store, waiting for his Primal tribulation.

“Follow me,” Votayl looked toward his followers and ordered them. He then took a step forward in the direction of the exit.

After leaving the weapons room, Votayl wanted to ask the store owner about it. When he reached the hall, he found no one was present on the chair.

Votayl then decided to leave the store as there was no point in waiting for Hartol here.

‘He must’ve left for his tribulation,’ Votayl thought in his heart. He then took a step forward and proceeded in the direction of the door while his attendants followed him.

“Eh!”

Votayl had only stepped his foot outside the store when he couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise as he felt a familiar aura covering him, and it gave him a warm feeling.

He then looked up, only to find the store owner floating there.

Since Votayl was also an Immortal, he could also fly, but when he tried to, he found that he couldn’t.

He then looked toward his attendants. They had higher levels than him. Votayl gestured for them to attempt to fly.

The attendants understood what Votayl wanted to convey. But when they tried, the result stayed the same; none of them could float.

‘Is Hartol undergoing the Primal tribulation here?’ Suddenly a question emerged in Votayl’s heart. He had heard that the tribulation entirely froze the space wherever it occurred. So no one could fly or teleport in that range.

‘How can the store owner fly then?’ Another question emerged in Votayl’s heart as he saw Aakesh floating in the sky.

“Votayl?” Votayl suddenly broke out of his thoughts as a voice called to him.

He confusedly looked toward the source, only to find a familiar figure there.

“George of the Pocoso Empire,” Votayl commented when he recognized the figure.

Since George and Votayl were part of Empires on Visteerna, albeit on different continents, they still knew each other.

“I never thought you would come to these areas,” George smilingly said as he took a step forward in the direction of Votayl.

“Rumble!”

Votayl did the same and proceeded forward. Before he could say anything, the sky suddenly rumbled.
