Chapter 461 Suppressing The Soul


    The green fog that had surrounded this ce was poisonous but it was not enough to phase Rowan, something was different about what had just urred.


    Rowan did not have time to deliberate again as his sight fell into darkness and returned, this was happening because his eyes were melting from their sockets.


    This happened hundreds of times in less than a second, and Rowan looked away as he shifted the two halves of the remnant of the Divine Spark away from him, realizing that what he was holding was an incredibly toxic poison.


    Rowan looked down at his body in puzzlement. Unknowingly he had withered away until he resembled a skeleton before it filled back up with muscles.


    Rowan opened his mouth and emitted arge st of green gas that melted the floor for thousands of feet. He had been deeply poisoned by just staring at the green grains.


    What was weird was that he had not felt any bit of pain during this process, and if not for the unreasonable nature of his regeneration, he would have died without even understanding how it happened. For someone with Rowan''s perception, that was an incredible feat to aplish. Whatever this poison was, it was not straightforward.


    It seemed to contain a method that could deceive the senses, even for someone like him.


    Dao Ma had not been able to use his poison after Rowan snatched his scepter, and if he was not wrong the god was going to be using this poison as his foundation to be a Major god, this makes whatever poison it was to be very special.


    Furthermore, this poison was incredibly stable, surviving such an intense explosion without any change in its properties. By itself, this poison would be difficult to truly harm Rowan, but if it was driven by Intent then it would elevate its danger to another level.


    He was not too interested in its poisonous aspects but he wanted to understand the methods that were used to cloud his Perception. If he could do so, then it might turn out to be one of his greatest harvests today.


    Rowan brought the two halves of the Divine Spark together sealing away the poison, as he was busy with this task, a great skeletal apparition with a vague resemnce to Dao Ma rose from the fog behind Rowan and looked at him with great hatred before attempting to leave but after moving a short distance away from Rowan it halted, as an inexorable force began to suck it back towards Rowan.


    The Apparition shrieked in surprise, fighting against the pull, but although it was powerful, ultimately every effort to escape was futile, for the mark of Rowan''s blow was embedded into its soul, and its fate was decided with that single blow.


    The legs of the Apparition entered Rowan''s body from the back and it wed at the earth tearing it apart and causing so muchmotion like an earthquake.


    If Rowan was aware of what was happening behind him he gave no signs, he simply continued studying the God Spark, and satisfied it could properly contain the poison, he threw it into his Mental Space.


    He turned around and watched the Apparition struggle to escape his grasp but it was useless. This formless power wasing from his Nascent Primordial Bloodline, something that even Rowan could hardly understand, and the Apparition was drawn into Rowan''s body with a final despairing scream.


    Rowan closed his eyes and watched the Apparition being sucked into Sheol, as it approached the City it was forced to kneel, and its powers became sealed, and slowly its body became frozen by the Primordial Sea of Darkness. Its features were frozen into a rictus of fear and astonishment.


    Rowan saw tiny glowing pieces begin to break off from the frozen Apparition and gather on the surface of the Primordial Sea of Darkness where they were swept towards the piles of Soul Crystals that Rowan had ced not far from Sheol. As the glowing pieces neared the Soul Crystals they started to merge and soon transformed into a Soul Crystal.


    In less than five minutes two Soul Crystals had been created. Unlike before when he had to control the process of creating Soul Crystals using his Throne of Ice, with his new bloodline, this process was done automatically and with no fuss.


    Rowan opened his eyes and breathed out in relief, he knew his new bloodline was powerful but he had still expected a little bit ofplication after all, this was an Immortal Soul, and he had even made ns if he was to fall into slumber or maybe be incapacitated if the burdens were too much for him to carry, but there should not be any concern of that nature for now.


    Eva was beside him, her eyes were wide as she watched his features searching for any clues to know his present status, unlike when Rowan''s bloodline was the Avatar of Eve, everything he did was instantly known by her, but now, if he did not share any of his thoughts or secrets, even Eva would not be able to tell what was happening inside his Mental Space.


    Noticing his rxed demeanor, she breathed a sigh of relief and began speaking,


    "The first steps arepleted, the gods are rousing, and we have barely hours for you to collect your prize andy low for a while."


    Eva manifested a glowing chart of the Cerulean Gxy showing him all the spots of attention, especially the 212 Minor Worlds that were glowing in gold as an indicator that these were now his own.


    Rowan nodded, "let us leave. The n went wlessly, especially your ingenious methods of draining his energy and your Formations. Thank you, Eva."


    Eva smiled and bowed, and they both vanished in a bright sh of light. The Ouroboros Serpents finished devouring any choice bits of material inside the Divine Kingdom that caught their attention, including all the children of Dao Ma, and with a roar they pierced through the spatial barrier surrounding it and left, returning to Rowan.


    The Divine Kingdom slowly fell to the endless golden web and was shrouded in fog and an intense storm, as new changes began to be enacted on them.
