Chapter 1067: Shaking The World


    ?


    The Ascendant paused, he seemed shocked by Rowan''sckadaisical attitude and then he chuckled, shaking his head in disdain,


    "Even if you have hatred against Ascendants, surely you cannot believe that the animosity of the Blood Bound can justify this travesty. Challenging an Ascendant is death, mortal, and I promise that not only you would suffer this fate."


    Rowan closed his right eye, brought his left hand up, and made a finger gun with it; he knew the Ascendant would understand the significance of this move. He pointed at the chest of the Ascendant with the finger gun,


    "I never said I was a Blood Bound, you gave me that tag without any sort of confirmation apart from my hard flesh. Besides, you do not know the things I have challenged as a mortal." he mimed a shot, "Bang."


    The Ascendant looked down at his chest and he brushed it as if shaking off invisible dust, and then looked back up, any note of amusement or civility in his voice was gone, a mortal mocking an immortal was a story that had never had a great ending,


    "You do not think you would leave this ce alive, do you? Allow me to disabuse you of that notion."


    Spreading out his hands, the Ascendant manifested a silver de and shield in a flurry of blue sparks as his bodypressed, his wispy shape hardening into something that resembled ck metal.


    His Natal Treasures appeared simple without any decoration, just a two-sided short sword and a round shield that barely covered his torso, but Rowan immediately sensed the resonance between the shield and the entire continent of Stone Reach; he also felt the resonance with another distant continent from the de. These were Natal Treasures that were already linked to a continent.


    The de and the shield were suddenly engulfed by blue mes that burned so hot, the space around the Ascendant began to crack, and the wave of heat that erupted turned everything on the floor to ash, including the thousands of kneeling corpses, without any warning, the Ascendant attacked,unching himself towards Rowan so quickly his body was like a mirage, Rowan sted a beam of Ascendant energy at the iing foe, who batted it aside with his shield, the beam punching a hole through the castle and heading towards the sky, and he swung his ming sword in retaliation, releasing a shaft of blue me that sliced through the air, leaving cracks in space, Rowan hands snaked forward, catching the de beam with his two hands and snapped them in two before letting go.


    The broken de beams passed by him and sliced through the entire floor level in a circr arc. The pce of the Ascendant groaned before the top half tilted with a loud crash that resounded throughout the Stone Reach castle and sent tremors to the earth below.


    Hundreds of thousands of mortals looked to the sky in shock as the pce of the Divine Ascendant was sliced in two, and hundreds of thousands of tonnes of bricks, metals, and all sorts of things copsed, causing a cascade of debris that built up like an avnche.


    The screams of fear and confusion erupted as the mortals began to flee, but few could escape far as with a titanic rumble the debris impacted the bottom level of the castle crushing the elites of Stone Reach into paste and decimating the entire castle that had stood in ce for more than three hundred thousand years.


    But even this loud st from the crash could not equal the sessive bangs ongoing at the top of the castle from the battle between Rowan and the Divine Ascendant that was slowly growing to a feverish height.


    Blue shes of light that lit the clouds for miles and sounds like continents splitting apart came about so constantly from above that it merged into a constant stream of chimes reminiscent of a world-ending cataclysm, and if one was to listen carefully, they would hear the sound ofughter.


    Rowan in the sky was grinning, red hair floating behind him like a storm and golden robes waving around like wings, he blocked, parried, and dodged the attacks from the Divine Ascendant using his bare hands, retaliating with a quick series of punches that made the shield from the Ascendant and the entire continent below to quake.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    For most of the mortals, the continent was their entire world, and today the world was being shaken to its foundations.


    The Ascendant growled in frustration at the direction the battle was heading, his heart surprised that he was not killing a mortal with a single move but he had to actively defend against his attacks.


    He thrust his de while rotating it with a peculiar pattern that caused blue ming flower patterns like roses to bloom in the air, Rowan''s eyes lit up in appreciation as he discovered that because of the soul-like nature of Ascendants, theirprehension ability was greatly exaggerated.


    Every Ascendant would be a great genius in the outside reality, as their massive soul power gave them a much vaster spirit, hence greaterprehension capabilities.


    The move the Ascendant made was so intricate yet held so much power, if he had used it outside in reality, he would have butchered a God Emperor with this single move, even without cing much energy into it.


    dding his arms for the first time with a thick gauntlet of Ascendant Energy, Rowan punched the ming flowers multiple times in quick session along certain patterns only he could see, and the ming flower not only shattered to pieces but wasunched back at the Ascendant with three times more force.


    Blocking with the shield he rapidly brought up, the Divine Ascendant thrust his de below the shield, expecting the weapon to reach Rowan due to the shield blocking this insidious move. Yet Rowan saw this moveing a mile away and with a powerful spin kick, he sted the short de out of the hand of the Ascendant.


    The eyes of the Divine Ascendant widened, he might be able to wield the sword freely, but that was because it was his Natal Treasure, for anyone else, this de weighed more than three thousand million million million tons. Not to talk about moving it a single inch, Rowan had just knocked it spinning into the sky, and what happened next continued shocking the Ascendant so much so that he paused his assault.


    Rowan had reached forward and grabbed the falling de.


    He did not grab the sword by its hilt, instead, he held it by its de and pointed the hilt at the Divine Ascendant while grinning, clearly offering the de back to his foe,


    "Hold more firmly to your weapon Ascendant, after a million years of sleep, I want to enjoy this fight to the limit!"


    Wary of a trick the Ascendant wanted to step back but he saw the glow in Rowan''s eyes, there was no scheme inside, just happiness... happiness that came duringbat where you had to focus and everything was left behind.


    In this moment the Ascendant understood Rowan more than most would ever could. This was a being whose heart held a heavy burden, and sometimes the only way he could forget for a while was during battle.


    "Why do you fight me empty-handed?" the Ascendant asked, disdain no longer in his tone,


    only a sort of shock,


    "You will onlyst a single move if I use a weapon,"


    The Divine Ascendant paused and then he took back his de, Rowanughed with


    happiness, "Good, let go!"
