The Primordial Record

Chapter 181 Killing A Continent (6)

Alongside that was a castle in the Abyss, with a standing army of a million demons of various ranks. This castle was said to be the last standing castle of Ohrox in the Abyss, mainly due to its location, and the loyal defenders he left behind.

It was located on the back of a Great Abyss Worm. This colossus moves through the lower levels of the Abyss, it was a creature of all power and gluttony, and It was Ohrox mount.

The Covenant had done him enough favors to boost back the defense of the castle, and they had begun creating a living community around it already, not an easy feat because the Castle was constantly on the move.

Damn, if godlike beings put their minds to something, they could achieve a lot of stuff in a short period of time.

In addition to the planet and the castle, he also received 50 Dreadnought ships that could individually carry 5,000 troops and were equipped with massive destructive weapons, like Infernal Lances and Razor vipers. They could fly in the void of space and also inside the atmosphere of a planet

To Rowan, the Dreadnoughts resembled a merger between flesh and machine. Massive Veins pumping veins of black tar like liquid into various compartments on the ship. An enormous heart made of metal and meat that pumped both flames and various liquids inside every part of the ship.

From afar, these ships almost appeared to be alive, resembling gigantic demonic dragons who constantly breathed flames.

Also, two Infernal Pools that were kept in stasis as a massive bloody gem. When he finds the location he wanted to place them inside the Great Abyss or any chosen location of his choice, the bloody gem would melt down into a huge bloody pool.

These could be used for healing and spawning countless minor demons similar to the purple wolf that Rowan killed when he was trying to activate his bloodline for the first time.

Rowan’s eyes lit up, upon seeing a set of Infernal Armor and Weapon fit for a Demon Prince. The armor set was sparse but was filled with a Demonic charm that pleased Rowan.

The weapon was a Great Sword, with a snarling demon as the hilt that spat out liquid flames that burned throughout the length of the blade.

Rowan almost grinned. There was something about a giant blade coated with liquid flame that made a man’s blood boil!

He also received 10,000,000 Origin shards. Rowan found out from the Oracle that this was the principal method of exchange for beings of their level. Used in all worlds in the universe by the major powers in it, these would serve as his foundation for the next thousand years according to the Oracle, even if he decided to splurge quite a bit.

The last but not the least were the Elura fragments allocated to him. There were five of them, and Rowan observed that they resembled broken crystals with various shapes.

Most important to note was that these Shards were placed inside a sun!

According to the Oracle, each Elura shards was a resource that would make any being of power go mad with desire, and the chief cause of war between Supreme worlds were those shards.

They were kept inside a star, for only its immense gravity and heat could hide the Aura of the shard from prying eyes and even other members of the Covenant were not aware of the location of these shards that were allocated to him.

Else, it was not a matter of if they would steal it, but a matter of when they would steal it. He was advised by the Oracle to retrieve these shards as quickly as possible within the next ten thousand years, else she could not assure him of their safety because at that time, the Aura of the Shard would have thoroughly permeated the sun. Its location would be exposed.

Rowan had no plans to keep the Shards away from his hands for that long. Yet, he was curious about what they were.

Rowan asked her what the Shard was and its purposes, the reply of the Oracle was Curt, as she told him he did not have the authority to understand the meaning of the Elura Shard at this time, but that their purpose was simple. It was to create a Miracle.

Depending on the size of the shards and the amount of power it contained. Technically, the Shards could be made to do anything, reverse time? Check! Turn a Mortal to a god? Check! Obtain endless wealth and power? Check!

The Elura shards could accomplish what even gods or Arch mages could not. But it all depended on the size of the Shard in question and the sort of miracle requested.

Beings of Ohrox level could accomplish numerous fantastic things by their own power, but to achieve the dreams that even gods longed for, the amounts of Elura Shards needed would be in the hundreds if not thousands.

Yet, to gather such an amount would inevitably leak the Aura of the Shards to the entire Universe, and they would be preyed upon.

So a delicate balance was created, and until date no powerful being in the Universe had been able to gather enough of the Shards to create a compelling miracle.

Yet, as a recovering Demon like the Covenant supposed he should be, these five shards would be able to boost him to the edge of reigniting his Spark and maybe even further.

With a single stroke, he could Ascend from his weakened state to the cusp of his full might! ．

This was the terrifying foundation of the Covenant. A group created by two Supreme worlds and tasked with destroying a Major world.

These amounts of power and resources given to him were mind-boggling, yet he knew this was among the least that a being of his power could hold.

He was lucky he was able to see the workings of the Universe at such a high level, it served as a constant push and motivation to him.

Rowan’s drool had already created a pool on the floor before his orgasmic state of happiness hit a little snag.

Because the Interdimensional Storage Device did not physically keep all the resources inside itself, and was just a channel, he needed to connect a suitable channel to it, in order for him to retrieve what had been given to him.

To accomplish that however, meant he must have access to his own personal Realm. Something that was only possible once he reached the Second Great Circle.

So it was quite impossible for him to touch any of these resources here, and it was with a heavy heart he turned away from the gathering of the Covenant. His hands almost did not want to leave the Interdimensional Storage Device.

The Oracle also informed him that the next gathering of the Covenant would be a decade from now, and Rowan hastily nodded before he left.

Rowan’s lust for advancement had never been higher, if he could reach the second great circle on this world, and link to the Interdimensional Storage Device of the Covenant, then, no matter how much his enemies estimated his current power he would have left that threshold far behind.

It was unlikely that the Shards could push his bloodline to it’s peak, but it should not be an issue to push him across the entire Second Great Circle.

At that time, he should be assured enough about his own powers, he would no longer need to bury himself below the ground, and escape like a beaten dog at the sight of his enemies.

Pushing every distracting thought away from his mind, he began to focus on his next move, and he refreshed his mind on all he knew about this planet.
