The pressure Aksai felt from this woman was slow, creeping in from the edges of his senses.
It was like walking through a forest, unaware of how close the sea was—until you suddenly step out into the open and the vastness of the ocean rushes into your chest.
Aksai staggered slightly.
Just moments ago, he had felt nothing. But now, it was as if the entire air around him had grown heavier, filled with potent Spirit essence and spiritual weight.
His breath caught in his throat. It wasn't crushing, but it was powerful. Deep. Like standing before something immense and slightly dangerous.
That pressure wasn't from a regular Core Formation Lord. Aksai should know because he had met with many of them during Haitin's wedding. And this pressure wasn't exerted by the young woman. It surrounded her naturally.
She was not just someone who had just stepped into that realm, but someone who had stood firm inside it. Someone who had walked far along the path.
