The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1074

Chapter 1074: Unexpected Changes

In this area where time and space were measurable and malleable, premonition was a visible phenomenon, and reality darkened as the sky burned red, a trillion lost souls screamed to the heavens as they wept tears of blood that came down like a flood, drowning the world in red.

The darkness groaned and a voice that echoed from the depths of time spoke,

"My Queen Cometh..."

All these phenomena instantly vanished a moment later as if it was nothing but a figment of a dream, but everyone here heard, saw, and felt the crushing dread that had held the world bound.

The Ascendant in white opened his mouth to scream, but the world seemed to have been lost in time as everything froze, and a wave of red erupted from Rowan's body, as well as thirty mighty limbs that reached up for miles as if they were about to tear the heavens apart.

Rowan had been fighting by himself, but he was not alone, merged into his body was the Shiik, and it was his hidden ace, because, unlike an Ascendant that needed to merge a continent with their Natal Treasure, a Calamity only needed Aura and experience to level up from the Deific Rank.

That experience came in the form of performing feats of terrible acclaim, like say, killing an Ascendant, and Rowan had not just killed any normal Ascendant, the Divine Ascendant who was at the First Dan, and with the Shiik merged into the hand that ripped the Ascendant into pieces, it gained all the tangible benefit of killing such a power being.

At this moment the Shiik had fulfilled all the necessary rites to become a Newborn Calamity God, and Rowan knew that even though the Shiik would become extremely powerful, he was not utilizing it for their strength in battle, against the opposition here, a thousand similar Shiik would be useless, the higher dimension was one where number could not cross, no he was using it as a channel to summon Calamity, the true Calamity.

He could hide the ascent of the Shiik to a Calamity God from the Ascendants around him because he was converting soul energy directly into Calamity Aura with no outside interference, and his potent Ascendant Aura infusing his body was enough of a shield to block any minute Calamity wave that might escape during the Ascension, in the end, reality had betrayed him but it was still too late, Rowan had already begun his preparation even before he fought the Divine Ascendant in the continents below.

When the red light surged out from his hands it was already too late. Rowan could not control higher dimensional forces, but with the right steps, he could manipulate them.

It was unknown who first detected something had changed because what happened next took place in a realm beyond the understanding of everyone present there. Rowan had pulled the trigger, but even he was not fully conversant of the effect that would follow.

A poet would say that the Heavens Changed and Hell took its place.

Rowan had seen the Calamity Suns take the place of the Ascendant Suns when he was at the lower Continents, and that time the effect had been jarring in its suddenness and unexpectedness, one moment there was light, and suddenly there was darkness. He should have paid more attention to this.

Being this close to the changing of reality as Ascendancy fled before Calamity, the Aura in Rowan's body was so suppressed completely that he could barely stand on his own two feet, only his golden robe kept him standing.
