350 Lightning Tribulation
"Look, the clouds above the tribe leader's house," One of the tribesmen pointed at the looming clouds.
"They don't seem like normal clouds," another tribesman raised his brows for a moment and continued, "I remember now, they are tribulation clouds."
"Tribulation clouds? What are they, head?"
Many of the tribesmen looked at him and asked their head of the unit.
"I once read in the history books of our tribe that when anyone reaches the top realm in the five elemental world, they have to cross the lightning sent by those clouds. Those clouds are called lightning clouds where the process is called 'Tribulation'," The head of the small construction unit explained about tribulation to his squad.
The lightning tribulations were different in every world and the power from the lightning differs with each person. The more powerful the individual was, then the stronger the tribulation would be.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
"So, someone in our tribe is breaking through to the top realm?" One of the members of that unit excitedly asked his head while looking at the black clouds in the sky.
"Yes," the head nodded his head and looked at the tribe leader's house and continued, "Some time ago, I heard that our tribe leader went into seclusion and since he was the only one closer to reach top realm, then the tribulation might be for him."
While saying that, all the time there were two kinds of expressions on his face.
One was a happy expression because it was a good thing for the tribe and the other one was a worried expression because if the tribulation failed then their tribe leader would die without a doubt.
'Tribe leader is always careful, so he must have a plan to block or evade this tribulation,' However, he hoped for the best in his mind.
Similarly, every other construction unit was discussing about the tribulation clouds and learned from their unit heads.
....
In Ajax's room,
"Phew.....Still, five more refinements to go," Ajax took a long breath and continued to refine the next batch of pills.
From the last 30 or so minutes, Ajax refined around 20 refinements. In which, 15 refinements were successful and only 5 refinements were failed.
The 5 failed refinements were failed at the start and with each successful refinement, he was able to refine the blood cleansing pills without much worry.
'Now, he is an acting tribe leader, right? I forgot,' Ajax suddenly remembered Elder Qwerek's words to the first elder and the Hawk captain while leaving the meeting hall and nodded his head.
He also joined the other Elders and continued to watch the tribulations which might strike its lighting bolts any time now.
"Just a little, just a little bit more,"
As they were waiting, inside the tribe leader's house Qwerek gritted his teeth and continued to ram the barrier that was blocking him from entering the Demi-King realm.
However, he didn't struggle for long before that small crack became larger and larger with the continuous ramming.
'Kacha' 'Kacha'
Within a few seconds, the barrier finally broke and the pure lightning elemental essence rushed into the next realm and with that he had officially become the Demi-King realm expert.
'Hahaha'
Qwerek started laughing when he reached the Demi-King realm but suppressed his excitement as he now had a true obstacle and he had to cross it and only then he could enjoy the fruits of his strength.
'Let them come now,'
Even then he had a small smile on his face as though he had enough confidence in crossing that hurdle and took out a few array plates.
Among them, he took out one that was much bigger than other plates and lightly tapped it.
As soon as he tapped it, a huge barrier covered the entire Lightning Hawk Dragon tribe.
The barrier was majestic as it was constantly moving like waves and filled with a few lightning sparks.
As soon as the barrier was activated another barrier formed underneath it that looked exactly the same as the first barrier.
"Woah"
All the onlooking tribesmen were mesmerized by the barrier's beauty and the lightning sparks it was emitting.
Since they had the affinity with the lightning elements, they were truly attracted by the barrier's beauty.
"They activated the barrier. Looks like it was about to start," Erek clenched his hands as he looked at the double barriers and thought about something in his head.
