Chapter 460 The Death of Dao Ma
A God Stone was powerful, but against his Chambers, nothing was indestructible. Even a God Killer weapon was taken apart, and that was more complex than any God Stone. All these divine materials he was gathering were important because Rowan expected that he would soon be making use of them.
Rowan gestured and another burst of blue light flashed and covered the entire door. The enormous door began to shrink as pieces of it began to disappear into the light, and the door made a clear metallic groan before it shrank to a dot and vanished, giving him access to the Divine Spark—The heart of a god.
No wonder gods were so difficult to kill, to locate their Divine Kingdom was supremely difficult as they could move it at any sign of danger, and even if you managed to do the impossible and locate their Divine Kingdom and somehow infiltrate it, then it would be an uphill battle to get to their Divine Palace where countless traps and obstacles would be arrayed against you.
Only Rowan's unique advantages and planning allowed him to stroll into this place in less than an hour after the battle began, and although there were a few complications along the way, everything went according to plan.
His eyes penetrated the bright green light being emitted from the entity before him as he beheld the God Spark of Dao Ma hovering silently inside a sacred chamber.
It was shaped like a scaled green egg that was glowing. It was fairly large, about eight feet in diameter. Inside of it, Rowan could sense a great presence. It contained the Immortal Soul of Dao Ma but it appeared weakened and spent.
Most likely this weakness came as a result of the god trying to ascend to a higher realm and failing. Failures like this would lead to intensive backlash. Also, the toll of battling Rowan could not be underestimated, Dao Ma had unleashed an incredible amount of power during the battle and all these would have taken much from him.
Rowan could feel the Soul of the god becoming stronger as whatever damage it sustained before was healing. He did not have long and he needed to take advantage of this moment.
Rowan felt a cool wind brush against his neck and he looked deeper into the God Spark where he noticed a skeletal face pressed against the egg and looking at Rowan with two empty eyes, when it noticed Rowan looking at it, the Apparition grinned showing long fangs and it gave a lengthy alien howl that brought a chill to the soul.
Rowan did not doubt that if he still had a soul, this scream from the apparition inside the Divine Spark would have snuffed it out.
He began walking up to the hovering Divine Spark and charging up his abilities. Billions of red particles rushed out of his body and enveloped Envy, and with each step he took the red light emanating from the Axe grew brighter until it was as if he was holding a red sun in his hand.
Rowan began to burn his Vitality as Eruption was diverted into his Strength Attribute and it grew explosively until a single breath from him was like a hurricane, and he held all that power steady while still burning Eruption more furiously increasing the strength he was pouring into his body, and he steadily began to grow bigger as he took the form of a man-made from gold, Envy also grew with him.
With his next step, Rowan reached thirty feet tall, and he was glowing like the sun.
He did not take this form when he was battling Dao Ma because he could not control this level of power during intense combat.
His body began to vibrate, as billions of tiny pops could be heard all around his body, it was the sound of Rowan's body clashing and disintegrating every single atom that came in contact with him. Absolute Body could only be truly expressed in this form.
He diverted all his Telekinesis into the muscles of his body and his forcefield sank into his flesh. His next step shattered the Divine Palace in two and the crater that erupted from it continued until it tore the entire Divine Kingdom in two, reality itself seemed to shy away from Rowan and darkness fled far from his surroundings.
The Apparition inside the Divine Spark began to shake and then it went still and looked at Rowan, it opened its desiccated lips, "I curse…"
"Heard that before," Rowan whispered, reaching the Divine Spark, he made a simple swing, and Envy neatly bisected the scaled egg in two.
The egg flashed thrice before exploding. A powerful force equal to a thousand Megaton Nuclear explosions occurred, sweeping through everything with a force that could crack a planet.
A massive green mushroom cloud thousands of miles across rose from the crater, and the shockwave it generated devastated what was left of the Divine Kingdom.
Dao Ma's head shook, and tears filled his eyes as he looked at what was left of his dominion. Eva looked at him for a few seconds and descended.
Dao Ma's head remained for a few moments as if admiring what was left of his Divine Kingdom before it faded into ashes, leaving behind a forlorn sigh.
"I never told my children…. That… I…. Love… them."
Rowan was not pushed for a great distance by the explosion, but his surrounding was filled with green fog that was so thick it was almost like liquid. He waved his hand and pushed back the fog revealing what was left of the Divine Palace. His body shrank down and he closed his eyes for a short while, as he calmed the fire in his blood.
Rowan looked ahead and he saw the two pieces of the Divine Spark and drew them to him, they were now dull but still shone like an emerald gem, and he began to closely observe it, it was hollow, and inside were thousands of green grains that stung his eyes as he looked at them, and before he knew everything fell into darkness and his sight returned.
"Was I just poisoned?"
