The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1065

Chapter 1065 Clearing The Floors

Rowan did not push deeper to investigate this barrier because he noticed it was filled with Ascendant Aura, most likely from the Divine Ascendant who had assimilated this continent to become his Natal Treasure.

However, this was not the reason he was investigating the depths of the earth. It was as he had once suspected; that calamity Gods could not be found under every continent, and the fact that his descent had been directly over the mouth of one of these elusive creatures while he was in the helpless form of a stone egg was not a coincidence.

The entire battle as it played out, including the death of the Calamity God, the summoning of Berrion the Undying, and finally a single Deific Explorer who stood above the battle and watched it all in grim amusement, as it mocked Rowan and all of existence.

"So this is the form you have taken, Eye of Time? A mortal shell… risky, but that is the only way you should be able to exert influence without calling attention to your killers. Smart… hahaha… our family line seems to be filled with nothing but daredevils."

Knowing that dwelling on the incoming battle was pointless, he focused on his next agenda, killing the Divine Ascendant and claiming this continent.

He opened his left palm and the tattoo of the hunched-back woman and the Shiik blossomed in scarlet radiance as Rowan converted his increased stream of Soul energy into the Aura of Calamity, and in less than three days, the Shiik whose capacity for Calamity Aura was truly stupendous and rivaling those of Rowan also reached the Deific Rank.

The progress Rowan made upon reaching the Deific Rank had truly shown its value at this moment; it took him six months to reach the Deific Rank using the converted stream of Ascendant Aura, but he did something equally impressive in just three days.

If the stream of Soul energy he could utilize previously came from a thin straw, it was now a large pipeline, a dozen feet in diameter. With the Shiik at the Deific Rank, its size tripled, but this amazing transformation did not end there, due to its merger with the corrupted Explorer Nyla, it took on certain traits of Ascendancy, and its form took a fog-like state, appearing to become a beast made from black smoke and red flames.

Nyla shrieked, the sound from her mouth was distorted, almost sounding like that of a Shiik, the elevation of the Shiik also benefited her, and her powerbase that had been stuck at the lower levels of the Deific Rank reached the peak, and only fulfilling certain prerequisite would be enough to push her to the Ascendant Rank and make her a Temple Matron.

The Shiik did not have any of such restrictions, a Calamity only needed a great amount of Aura and an equally greater amount of mayhem and chaos under their belt to transform into the Nascent state of a Calamity God, their lifespan became almost infinite, and the energy they needed to transform to a higher state became more restrictive, and so they would sleep for millions of years, devouring entire continents to evolve further.

Rowan had also pushed his Ascendant Aura to the peak of the Deific Rank, and only until he assimilated all required number of continents would he push to become an Ascendant, and it was as of yet unknown the number of continents he would require to become an Ascendant, and therefore summon the third and also possibly the fourth portion of his consciousness, but that would all depend on the abilities he would gain as an Ascendant.

Looking towards his left where the palace of the Divine Ascendant lay, Rowan began moving with measured steps towards his target.
