The Primordial Record-Chapter 1049: Crafting Natal Treasure (1)

The presence of the Shiik could not be hidden. Like a walking volcano or turned everything around it to ash, and numbers were useless against it. Under the darkness of the Calamity Suns, the Shiik had a virtually unlimited amount of Aura, and it could use its Calamity Aura without pause.

Its Calamity Aura extended around it for miles, and only the most hardy of Legend Calamities could withstand the heat for a short while before a passing limb holding a hundred times more heat would brush past them, reducing those to ash.

Even the Calamities that were made from the elements did not survive long underneath these flames, because their origin came from a much higher source. The trails of devastation it left were like a permanent stain on reality long after it had passed.

In the creation of the Shiik, Rowan had not cared to add limiters to its destructive abilities and instead chose for it to proliferate. This fitted the nature of Calamity as a force that could not be controlled, and he just pushed the dial to the max and then some more.

At higher levels the presence of the Shiik alone would begin to poison reality, rooting out every trace of light and life, to leave darkness and emptiness, only then would the beast fall into an endless slumber.

A few miles away from the fleet of ships, the Aura of the Shiik was already causing devastating consequences on board the ships.

The heat radiating from the Shiik began to heat the armor of the warships, scarlet, and when its Aura reached the ships it destroyed all the calamities surrounding them, freeing the ships to move once more, but their new freedom did not last. The weaker and smaller ships simply exploded under the direct glow of the Calamity Aura.

Seven massive limbs whipped across the air, slicing through dozens of ships, each of them the size of the ships that carried the two Deific Ranked Explorers, and turning them into balls of flames and molten metal. The limbs reversed their course, destroying more ships on the way back, as a massive flood of Ascendant Aura surged from the ongoing destruction of the fleet into the body of Rowan standing on the head of the Shiik.

Even before this assault had ended, the Shiik had already raised another ten limbs high, and brought them down like flaming lances from the heavens, and it plunged it into the center of the fleet, before a wave of red flames erupted from the limbs that utterly destroyed every single ship here. There were a few screams inside the destroyed ships as the Deific Explorers inside lasted for a few moments before transforming to ash.

Rowan accepted the flood of Ascendant Aura into his body, channeling them all to his transforming cells until they were all filled to the brim, the brain in his skull began to transform, readying him for the Glorious Rank and his first Natal weapon. He grew several more inches, and he now appeared like a youth of sixteen years of age.

Scanning the horizon he nudged the Shiik to the next target. The feeling of his summoning was growing more prevalent, and Rowan could only focus on the laid-out plans, he was still inside the expected margin of error and nothing unforeseen had happened as of yet.

The Shiik traveled another two hundred miles and devastated a new fleet, the beast luxuriating in the devastation that it could cause with a single motion of its limbs. Its cries of excitement lingered in a world of madness where it reigned as queen.

These new streams of Ascendant energy finally pushed Rowan over the edge and he began pushing for the Glorious Rank, the next crucial part of his plans.

His brain began to light up, transforming into a gem-like state similar to his heart. A normal Explorer would never get such changes in their physique, but Rowan was holding tens of thousands more Ascendant Aura than any Explorer in the same rank, a normal body would pale against such powers he was wielding, but such transformation was designed to still stick to the rules of this world but still bending it towards his favor.

If the world favored only mountains, and no valleys then that was fine, Rowan would be creating only mountains, but the rules never stated there had to be a height limit to the mountain. Nothing was stopping Rowan from creating a mountain that would become bigger than the world itself. He was still following the rules!

Entering his mental space, the difference was like night and day. When previously it was barren and barely larger than a hall, now his mental space had transformed into a valley filled with mountains made from blue gems that extended as far as the eyes could see.

Around a hundred miles in total, this mental space would equal that of an Ascendant, but Rowan knew it was not enough for what he wanted, it was just a foundation for what he truly needed. Calling a part of his consciousness without this plan in mind would be nothing but a reckless disaster, but if he could push through with this scheme, he might just succeed.

What made Explorers unique was the ability of their mental space to merge with their Ascendant Aura in order to create their first Natal Treasure at the Glorious Rank, and so an Explorer had no mental space from the Glorious Rank forward, but Natal Treasures.

These Natal Treasures can be anything, from tools, armor, and weapons, … anything at all that could be possibly created, and usually, Natal Treasures were created in line with the techniques practiced by the Explorers. A technique charged with the elements would produce a Natal Treasure that could wield said element.

Rowan was going to be using this opportunity to create a Natal Treasure that would do one thing only—which is to contain his consciousness and hide it from the World's Will.

For a mental space to carry a fragment of his consciousness, it would have to be many times more powerful than any Explorer would be capable of, but a Natal Treasure was different because it was crafted with the aid of the World's Will.
