The First Store System

Chapter 1553: Ancient Glorious City(24)

As Aakesh poured so much energy into the attack, an energy ball the size of Aakesh's height materialized. Aakesh was in complete control of the skill, so he seemed calm.

He then pushed that energy ball into the largest gap around the tree's core.

BOOM!

An explosion rang in the area, and it fully enveloped the building. Aakesh was immune to the blast, not the fall caused by the building's destruction. He started falling but calmly landed on the ground since that height was nothing worth the trouble.

The tree was still tenacious enough to survive that blast, but it seemed to have exhausted its vitality and died the next moment. Aakesh was in no good condition either. Without the defense around him, he directly faced the chilly wind.

Cracks had appeared around his body that looked like cracks in icebergs. His blood remained aloof from the effect, and it slowly flowed out.

Aakesh immediately pulled out some Sacred stones from the secret space and started absorbing them. The chilly wind had disappeared after the tree's death, so he no longer needed to maintain the shield.

The tree didn't cause him as much trouble as that chimera opponent, but it was the strongest enemy he had faced that day. It was only due to the spirit's low intelligence and the skill's immunity effect that he not only survived but also gained a victory.

A few minutes later, Aakesh had recharged himself, so he stood up and walked to the tree. A fragment slightly smaller than two-fifths was lying there on the ground.

Since Aakesh hadn't taken back the fragment he used in his attack, the fragments combined on their own. He didn't immediately pick them up but waited for his injuries to recover.

A few minutes later, the cracks caused by the chilly wind had disappeared, leaving Aakesh the same as he was before stepping into the building. As for his dhoti, it was also ruined, so Aakesh had to wear another one.

That day was still early, but he had already lost two dhotis. Nothing like that had ever happened, showing the dangerous situation Aakesh found himself in.

He then walked to the stone and picked it up. He had already prepared for the pressure, so he didn't get knocked like the last time and stood strong.

His veins around his body had popped out, and soon they began to rupture like the last time. Since the fragment was bigger than before, the intensity of the pressure also saw growth, and it continued for three minutes.

Aakesh was left in no condition to fight anyone after that. He was lying in a small pool of his own blood. His eyes remained indifferent, and he stood up. The injuries began to recover since they didn't have any negative effects, like the chilly wind.

In less than a minute, he had fully recovered with no injury left, while his blood had vaporized into thin air. It was all caused by his infinite endurance, so for recovery, he didn't spend an iota of energy from his energy reserves.

Since he was in his peak condition, he walked forward in search of other fragments.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Aakesh stood with blood around his body. The corpse slowly dissolved into a stone fragment. Once Aakesh had fully recovered, he picked up the stone fragment and combined it with the fragment he already had.

Crash!

Aakesh was already prepared for the pressure, but he was still unable to and got knocked hundreds of meters, destroying many buildings in his way.

The pressure released by the four-fifths stone fragment was beyond Aakesh's expectations. In no time, his body was on the verge of exploding.

His eyes were extremely cold since that day had thrown one after another painful situation at him.

Time flew by, and when it seemed Aakesh had reached its dead end and the system would need to help him, out of nowhere, pressure emerged from Aakesh.

Boom!

The two pressures clashed, creating a loud boom in the area. Slowly by slowly, the effect dimmed down, and a few moments later, things returned to calm.

His body recovered at an even higher rate after that situation. The pressure seemed to have forced Aakesh to unleash some of his hidden physique potential, making him even stronger.

The growth wasn't wildly excessive, but Aakesh felt like he wouldn't need to exhaust all his energy to defeat the chimera any longer.

It still wouldn't be an easy battle, but it wouldn't be hard either. With a pair of indifferent eyes, he proceeded forward since only one-fifth fragment was left from completing the stone.

There were still several hours left before the end of the night in Thorr City, so he had sufficient time to complete the task. He only hoped that the reward would be worth all the trouble. If not, the leader was going to die once Aakesh reached an adequate cultivation level.

A few hours later, Aakesh reached his final opponent. Before him stood an enormous worm.

It was going to be his most challenging battle for the day, and Aakesh wasn't confident of victory despite his physique becoming stronger. It had to do with the worm's cultivation level.

It was an early-level Lesser God creature, and that was out of Aakesh's power level.

It was only due to the growth in his physique that Aakesh even thought of battling the worm. Since the system was with him, his protection was sure. He didn't need to fear for his life, so he became excited about the battle.

The only worry was that if he lost, all his effort over the past several hours would turn to zero, and he didn't think that much work was worth fighting a Lesser God.

The worm opened its mouth and let out a silent roar. The next moment, Aakesh felt as if someone was hammering his sea of consciousness.

Slam!

With a flick of its tail, the worm rushed forward. It was quicker than expected and slammed onto Aakesh. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Crash!

Aakesh was knocked down more than a mile, reaching back to the place where he had the last battle before the fight with the worm. Signs of destruction were still present there.
