Chapter 1067: Shaking The World

The Ascendant paused, he seemed shocked by Rowan's lackadaisical attitude and then he chuckled, shaking his head in disdain,

"Even if you have hatred against Ascendants, surely you cannot believe that the animosity of the Blood Bound can justify this travesty. Challenging an Ascendant is death, mortal, and I promise that not only you would suffer this fate."

Rowan closed his right eye, brought his left hand up, and made a finger gun with it; he knew the Ascendant would understand the significance of this move. He pointed at the chest of the Ascendant with the finger gun,

"I never said I was a Blood Bound, you gave me that tag without any sort of confirmation apart from my hard flesh. Besides, you do not know the things I have challenged as a mortal." he mimed a shot, "Bang."

The Ascendant looked down at his chest and he brushed it as if shaking off invisible dust, and then looked back up, any note of amusement or civility in his voice was gone, a mortal mocking an immortal was a story that had never had a great ending,

"You do not think you would leave this place alive, do you? Allow me to disabuse you of that notion."

Spreading out his hands, the Ascendant manifested a silver blade and shield in a flurry of blue sparks as his body compressed, his wispy shape hardening into something that resembled black metal.

His Natal Treasures appeared simple without any decoration, just a two-sided short sword and a round shield that barely covered his torso, but Rowan immediately sensed the resonance between the shield and the entire continent of Stone Reach; he also felt the resonance with another distant continent from the blade. These were Natal Treasures that were already linked to a continent.

The blade and the shield were suddenly engulfed by blue flames that burned so hot, the space around the Ascendant began to crack, and the wave of heat that erupted turned everything on the floor to ash, including the thousands of kneeling corpses, without any warning, the Ascendant attacked, launching himself towards Rowan so quickly his body was like a mirage, Rowan blasted a beam of Ascendant energy at the incoming foe, who batted it aside with his shield, the beam punching a hole through the castle and heading towards the sky, and he swung his flaming sword in retaliation, releasing a shaft of blue flame that sliced through the air, leaving cracks in space, Rowan hands snaked forward, catching the blade beam with his two hands and snapped them in two before letting go.

The broken blade beams passed by him and sliced through the entire floor level in a circular arc. The palace of the Ascendant groaned before the top half tilted with a loud crash that resounded throughout the Stone Reach castle and sent tremors to the earth below.

Hundreds of thousands of mortals looked to the sky in shock as the palace of the Divine Ascendant was sliced in two, and hundreds of thousands of tonnes of bricks, metals, and all sorts of things collapsed, causing a cascade of debris that built up like an avalanche.

The screams of fear and confusion erupted as the mortals began to flee, but few could escape far as with a titanic rumble the debris impacted the bottom level of the castle crushing the elites of Stone Reach into paste and decimating the entire castle that had stood in place for more than three hundred thousand years.

But even this loud blast from the crash could not equal the successive bangs ongoing at the top of the castle from the battle between Rowan and the Divine Ascendant that was slowly growing to a feverish height.

Blue flashes of light that lit the clouds for miles and sounds like continents splitting apart came about so constantly from above that it merged into a constant stream of chimes reminiscent of a world-ending cataclysm, and if one was to listen carefully, they would hear the sound of laughter.

Rowan in the sky was grinning, red hair floating behind him like a storm and golden robes waving around like wings, he blocked, parried, and dodged the attacks from the Divine Ascendant using his bare hands, retaliating with a quick series of punches that made the shield from the Ascendant and the entire continent below to quake.

For most of the mortals, the continent was their entire world, and today the world was being shaken to its foundations.
