The Primordial Record-Novel

Chapter 518 Ascendance and Tribulations

Rowan wanted bigger, his bloodline demanded it, and his potential expected it.

Of course, that would mean the energy required to power it up would increase exponentially, but energy was the last thing that Rowan lacked. His Primordial Sea of Darkness could power an entire galaxy, not making use of it was wasting his great advantage, he doubted anyone else below the gods had the amount of Aether that he controlled.

To begin creating Apollyon, he had to begin from its core, and to create the Core, it was incredibly simple, yet also complicated. Simple for him, but unreachable for most.

Rowan began organizing the creation process inside his mind and time slipped away, day by day, he was lost inside Knowledge Well, running calculations every second that Andar at his current level would have to do for centuries.

Another benefit that he did not expect was that as he began unwrapping all the processes to create the core of Apollyon, his Consciousness Pillars began to grow, and now he had forty Consciousness pillars, and a new one was currently being created.

This process was enjoyable for him and he could spend centuries like this without any effort, that was until he felt an intense vibration inside his body and outside of it almost at the same time.

Vraegar had reached the Transcendent Grade of Nosferatu, and at the same time, Rowan had also reached the Origin Grade of the Berserker Aspect. Two great pieces of news at the same time.

Every time Rowan had been producing Berserker Clones and sending them over for Vraegar to practice his Nosferatu technique, he had also been using this opportunity to rapidly develop his Berserker Aspect.

Due to the opposing nature of both techniques, they had both grown faster than Rowan had anticipated and he had finally completed this Aspect, making it possible for him to begin training a second Aspect.

Rowan had already collected two Omnipotent Aspects with the aid of Andar and he could not wait to begin exploring this new branch of power.

Every step he was taking, whether it was seeding worlds, upgrading his Aspects, Devouring Tribulations, creating Angels, or increasing his Supreme Circles, all these were foundations that he was slowly accumulating, until the day when he reigned Supreme.

The Berserker Aspect was already a source of great power for him, and if he looked at it at a larger scale of things, the Berserker Aspect was quite powerful, but it was not the best among the powers he could use, yet Rowan understood that sometimes it was the utility of a technique that was far more important than its power.

Rowan could feel his Tribulation descending, but it seemed that the Divine Palace was delaying its gathering speed.

This oncoming Tribulation felt quite different from those he received at the transcendent Grade, and his intuition was telling him that it would be quite special. Inside his Mental Space, his Tower of Greed had surprisingly already grown to the fourth floor.

He had been able to quickly regrow this treasure because Eva was far more powerful than before, making her employ more of her skills, with his Aether from the Primordial Sea of Darkness serving as a potent fuel to aid in its development and repair.

Rowan felt that the fourth-floor tower would be enough for him to devour the entire Tribulation given that he would not be under attack while he was doing so like previously with Dao Ma, and he was stronger now.

First, he gave Vraegar the green light to go outside the Divine palace and receive his Tribulation.

The Dragon stood up as his body began to expand to more than a thousand feet from the tip of his snout to the ends of his tail. Vraegar suddenly gave a long roar as his body began to grow increasingly stronger, as he finally broke the chains he had kept over the brimming power that had been threatening to explode out of him all this while.

He had been suppressing his realm all along to the peak of the second circle so he could keep his bloodline and abilities pure, and now that the Tribulation was coming he could not hold himself back anymore and broke into the Third Great Circle.

His Ascension was like a rocket rising as a red beam of light so condensed it resembled fresh blood erupted from his body, struck the roof of the Divine Palace, and melted the Divine Materials as if it were nothing thereafter it shot into the universe.

Vraegar growth stopped at the peak of the Third Circle and his Draconian eyes which were filled with arrogance and greed looked at his Tribulation gathering outside the palace and he spread his wings wide and erupted from the ground like a meteor.

He pierced through the hole his Ascension made and appeared outside the open space. His bloody Tribulation cloud that spread for thousands of miles would bring fear to the heart of a god, but it only filled his heart with joy, because Vraegar saw it as a testament to his power and potential.

The miles-long lightning bolts that were scarlet lit up the bloody cloud and the intense stench of blood spread out for millions of miles.

In the distance, the Children of Ruin were roused from their slumber, the seven of them stared at the expanding cloud of Tribulation over Vraegar's form, and a hint of interest entered their eyes, but it was still just a little bit.

Power on this scale had no effect on them, and they slowly yawned and returned to sleep.

Although there was something special about this Tribulation, something that was… new, they were still not that interested, for they had seen grander sights, and what they were all waiting for, was still a mystery at this point.

Vraegar eyed the Tribulation above and roared, as a challenge he spread out his wings.

The Tribulation did not keep the dragon waiting for long as a torrent of scarlet lightning bolts in their hundreds rained down upon him, slamming into the dragon with the force of a thousand meteorites.
