The First Store System

Chapter 1526: Sudden Danger!

Tap! Crunch!

The attack hadnʼt even stopped when the sound of someone walking toward her rang in her ears.

Tiraʼs consciousness felt a chill when she looked toward the sound. She was an intermediate Lesser God, while the opponent approaching her was at the peak Lesser God level.

There was an enormous gap of two sub-levels between the two at a cultivation level where even a tiny difference could completely change the result.

Crash!

The creature pounced on Tira and got pushed back even faster than its charge. She didnʼt even see the movement clearly.

Before Tira could celebrate, she found cracks appearing all around her skin, but she didnʼt care about them and looked shocked.

The creature was about to charge again when suddenly, a hand appeared out of nowhere and crushed the creature like a bug. Tira was also knocked back several hundred miles just by its force.

When she stopped, her entire body was wet with blood. The metallic skin had cracked open across her body, while her blood veins, which were now earthen veins, had ruptured.

Fortunately for Tira, the torture didnʼt last long, and she appeared in the store with the square screen lightening up.

She didnʼt immediately look at the screen but thought of the last scene. From what she could comprehend, the force released by the gigantic hand was no less than the attack of a peak Lesser God level cultivator. Even though she got severely injured, she had already faced an attack earlier, so anything other than death was a great result for her.

Tira knew she had picked up a jewel from the store. She then returned her focus to the screen on the semi-pillar. With a glance, the entire content got permanently engraved in her memory.

[Skill: Terrarium Meld

Level: God

Cultivator: Early to Peak Lesser God

Elemental Compatibility: Metal: 66%, Earth: 52%

Skill Compatibility: 54%

Training Time: Two thousand eight hundred ninety-seven years.]

Tira looked disappointed when she saw her elemental compatibility. But after experiencing the skill firsthand, she would have no worries even if the skill took ten times more than the written time for her to master it.

Tira then stopped thinking about the skill and returned to what was ahead of her. She replaced the card with the last skill card, and following that, she found herself in an uncontrollable body in a different environment.

Several minutes passed for Tira, while only a moment had passed as Tiraʼs consciousness returned to her body, and she looked at the screen.

[Skill: Conduit Amplification

Level: God

Cultivator: Early to Peak Lesser God

Elemental Compatibility: Metal: 69%, Earth: 56%

Skill Compatibility: 60%

Training Time: Two thousand one hundred twenty-six years.]

Tira nodded after reading the details on the screen. She then left the semi-pillar and returned to the counter.

After returning the [Quake Stride] to its respective shelf, she turned around and left the room. When she walked out, there were already a couple of people before the store owner, waiting for their turn.

Tira also joined the line and waited for her turn.

***

”Store owner, I want three first-grade…” The man requested the products he had come to the store for.

It was a native of Thorr City who had come for his organization since the man didnʼt have enough wealth to purchase anything other than a few pills from the store.

There was the credit card option, but unfortunately for the man, his fortunes werenʼt bright, and neither was his talent great, so he wouldnʼt be able to borrow a good amount of money from the store.

After the sale was complete, the man turned around to leave. His eyes were filled with unwillingness since he wanted to purchase a beast for himself, but since he had no other option, he left the store.

No one cared about the man since there were many people who had the same hope as the man.

”Store owner, I want to complete the sale,” Tira requested once she reached the store owner.

Aakesh took the cards from her hands and then returned them immediately.

”You need to pay 160,590 higher Sacred stones,” Aakesh expressionlessly informed Tira, and following that, a mechanical alert rang in her head.

”The cards are yours. You can crush the cards to absorb their knowledge.”

Once Aakesh got the system alert for a successful payment, he informed Tira and also told her how to absorb the knowledge.

”Thank you, store owner,” Tira thanked Aakesh and then left after paying for the Immortal level difficulty in the training area.

Time flew by, and hours passed in the blink of an eye.

”Hello, store owner,” The new customer greeted Aakesh.

It was a woman from the neighboring Kingdom who had come to the store after learning about the Eternal Youth Pill.

The woman seemed to have no other purpose, so once she got the pill, she immediately left the store and walked toward her rented residence.

She hadnʼt gone very far from the store when the ground beneath her feet began shaking. Her face turned into pure horror as she saw the city making waves like water, but for some reason, the ground remained stable, and no cracks emerged.

All the True Gods, or above level cultivators, floated up and looked at the city with astonished faces. Even they had no idea what had happened. All of them simultaneously turned toward the sole building on Seventeenth Street.

If anyone could know what was happening, it was the store owner. They had only made up their mind to ask the store owner when the sky turned dark. In less than a moment, the entire city had been dyed black.

Aakesh stood up from his chair and looked above with a deep frown. His eyes easily peered through the roof and then the cover of darkness.

His eyes turned cold when he saw the source of the darkness.

If someone were to look at Thorr City from space, they would see a black hemisphere engulfing the city, and there was a vertical eye above that staring down at the city.
