The Mana and Mind Tribulation

"A tribulation at the monarch realm?" Hugo was confused.

Usually, a mystic would only undergo tribulations while advancing to the emperor realm. This was the power dominion above the monarch realm. A mystic at that stage would have his soul and body subjected to dreadful aura and scathing mana by the will of the astral world. Mystics experienced unique tribulations with a single common element, terror.

"I also don't understand why this is happening," Freya sent. "Maybe it's because of your kundalini-physique. The ways of mystic training are opposed to the ways of the universe. Men strive for ascension and increasing their powers while the universe strives for balance and sustainability."

"Higher-level mystics take up more resources like energy from the universe, threatening the concept of sustainability."

"So, any mystic who needs to advance beyond a certain dominion of power must start the process of opposing the universal will."
