The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1070

Chapter 1070: Late Salvation

Rowan continued pushing through the force beams and he cocked his head to the side, closed his right eye, and said, "Bang!"

Even before the battle had started, Rowan was already weaving threads of Ascendant Aura all over the body of the Ascendant, and although the Divine Ascendant at the moment had covered himself in armor, he had not done so previously when Rowan made his first finger gun.

At that time the Ascendant had not found Rowan as much of a threat and this gave Rowan the opportunity to plant a seed of Ascendant Aura on the body of the Ascendant, throughout the battle, Rowan had been focused on pushing that seed deeper into the body of the Ascendant who in his distracted state had not noticed the seed of his destruction pushing towards his heart.

With Rowan's next gesture, the trap was completed and unleashed.

The Divine Ascendant's chest bulged and he looked down in shock right before his torso exploded, and it was as if he transformed into a silver sun for a few seconds. A series of massive shockwaves exploded from his position, and even the extremely durable space of the threshold developed minute cracks for a few moments.

The explosion unexpectedly ceased as the Ascendant used all his willpower to suppress the eruption inside him but that caused his body to be flung hundreds of miles away, he landed with a resounding crash and he groaned in pain.

What was left of him was surprisingly still much unchanged, the silver metallic shell over his entire body kept his limbs intact, and except for the massive hole in his torso that was bleeding black and silver Aura, he still had the means to move on his own.

Yet losing more than forty percent of Core Aura was a terrible injury for an Ascendant, for unlike normal immortals who could create clones of flesh, an Ascendant could not create clones for themselves, but to balance this weakness, they were almost impossible to hurt with any form of conventional methods.

An Ascendant outside reality would be a terrible opponent to any gods, archmages, demons, or angels, for their bodies were ethereal and almost impossible to destroy using most normal methods, and their attacks were infused with soul power, which meant any blow from their Natal Treasure would be directly striking the souls of their opponent.

Soul defense was not something that could be easily learned and most would never have the means to defend their souls against the specialized attacks from an Ascendant's Natal Treasure, but Rowan did not have this problem.

Every blow made by Rowan was infused with an enormous amount of Ascendant Aura that destabilized the Core Aura of the Divine Ascendant, without this method, he would have to use a thousand times more power to achieve lesser effects, and even though Rowan was strong enough to blast an Ascendant apart using only strength as his Primordial Ouroboros Serpents had been able to do such a thing, it was ultimately a less efficient way to fight, and it would be almost impossible to kill the Ascendant in a shirt time using that method, and although Rowan acted unconcerned, he knew he was on a strict time limit before interferences would inevitably arrive.

Blasting back the Ascendant with his hidden method, Rowan finally had the time to handle the incoming shroud.

His hand returned to the neck of the Ascendant, but that brief distraction was enough for the crown of the Ascendant to flash once again, unleashing a potent wave of destruction, unfortunately for the Ascendant, Rowan was not blasted away like before. He weathered through the destruction, and for a moment it was possible to see Rowan's bones and grinning skull inside the flames as his flesh was turned to ash, but his eyes never left the Ascendant.

The explosion ended but Rowan's arm was still stuck inside the chest of the Ascendant, and bringing a face that was nothing but a grinning flaming skull to the side of the Ascendant's face he whispered, "That was a good fight, I shall remember your name."

It was inevitable that this fight would draw attention, and from multiple continents above, many bright lights began to rain down like stars, hundreds of them, other Ascendants descending to investigate the battle below.

His hand over the neck of the Divine Ascendant tightened, and he slowly began to pull him

apart.

The Divine Ascendant screamed and struggled, trying to keep his body together, but with every micro tear in his Core Aura, Rowan replaced them with his Ascendant Aura. The eyes of the Ascendant looked to the heavens, where his salvation descended, but they would be coming too late.
