The Primordial Record-Novel

The Demon Prince had made sure he selected the best candidate for his plan, after all with the amount of effort he had placed into this endeavor, it would be ridiculous if he did not go for the best.

Archimedes was truly unique, not because her talents were the worst among all Lightning Kirin that had ever existed like her coven had wrongfully assumed, it was in fact the opposite, she was the greatest genius in the Lightning Kirin coven, and the Demon Prince had likely waited for billions of years for the perfect candidate to be born before he took over her body and infected her bloodline root.

Every time Archimedes died, the benefits she gained were several-fold greater than what an average Lightning Kirin would receive, therefore the Demon Prince's talent and levels had been growing at an insane rate, reaching such levels that even if he had lived for a thousand more Eras, Ohrox would have never reached this height.

When Archimedes died for the final time, Ohrox would be resurrected, hundreds of times more talented and powerful. If that was the case then his plans would already be ungodly and although Rowan would be impressed, he would not be truly shocked, but the Demon surprised him and he took a step further using the Tower of Greed.

Using his talents as a Creator, Rowan became aware that the resurrection of the Demon Prince was only the first phase, his true goal was to combine the talents of the Lightning Kirin with his Tower of Greed.

With this combination, Ohrox would be placing the revival talents of Archimedes on an endless loop!

There was a price for this insane feat as this would destroy the Origin Treasure's ability to reverse time for the user, but the payoff would be far greater than this loss.

With his resurrection from the final death of Archimedes, he would have succeeded, and he would return his Soul to the Great Abyss where it would be safe from total destruction, from that moment, every time he was killed, he would return stronger and more talented, he would most likely disguise this improvement for a short while until he became so powerful that he was unrivaled.

Of course, the degree of growth with each death he suffered would not be as impressive as those of Archimedes, as it would be only about five percent as effective, but since Archimedes' talents were already so great, that five percent increment was nothing to scoff at.

Ohrox was already known as a Demon Prince who was incredibly difficult to kill and with the aid of his Origin Treasure he had become a nightmare on the battlefield, if he had succeeded here he would have transformed into something worse.

Rowan could not imagine how terrifying the Demon Prince would have become, each time he was slain, he returned stronger, and more talented, his command over energy, Aether, his body, his Spirit and Soul growing without any limits.

"Oh, what a Champion you would have become. Perhaps if you had not encountered me, I would have an equal who was also chasing the goal of becoming a Primordial in this Era. A shame that in this world a minor mistake can crush a great mountain."

Rowan pierced the sleeping soul of the Demon Prince and began to consume it… No… this Soul was different, this was no longer a Soul of a Demon Prince. It was stronger, almost similar to the Soul Fragment of Caine that he had not yet digested.

Ohrox was no longer a Demon Prince but was something stronger. Killing him would have been more difficult and troublesome, but Ohrox's Soul was scattered into trillions of pieces as he integrated into Archimedes's bloodline root, making it quite easy for Rowan to feast on the tiny individual part.

From the small flashes of memory entering his consciousness as he drained the scattered soul of Ohrox he understood the name of this level—Demon King.

Since the dawn of the Great Abyss countless Eras ago, there had only been eight Demon Kings, no one knew that a ninth Demon King had been born since Ohrix had ripped away his Infernal Spark and his entire Soul from the Great Abyss.

Now this Great Demon King, whose name should have shaken all of Creation, as he ascended from a Prince of Destruction to a King of Destruction was being silently devoured in a small corner of the universe.

"I see, thank you for curbing any arrogance that I might have felt with my promotion. I have to know that even with all my powers and wisdom, I can still fall into the smallest of problems. I can still fall to a mere mortal, you would think the lesson of my father's failure on my part would enlighten me on this matter. Ohrox, you have truly impressed me, I wish I had met you at your heights, your depths of vision and your ruthlessness are commendable. I have learned a new and valuable lesson today, and for that I thank you."

For the next seven days, Rowan drained the soul of Ohrox, the mighty soul of the Demon King not even letting out a single whimper as it perished.

Consuming the soul was a ridiculous ability that should not be found inside the universe and Ohrox in all of his wisdom did not leave any defenses against that sort of assault.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

As he killed this unlucky Demon King, Rowan had come across hundreds of traps laid deep in the soul of Ohrox, some of them would have woken him up, some of them would have summoned great traps that could have crushed this entire Continent, some of them would have teleported Ohrox straight to the Great Abyss.

Yet they were all useless because Rowan's method of attack was so strange. His powerful Nascent Primordial bloodline Sheol only needed to shine its lights on the scattered pieces of Ohrox Soul and as metal fillings drawn to a great magnet, they all began to drift into Rowan.

If he had been aware, with his powers as a Demon King, he would have been able to struggle against this activity.

Finally on the 9th day, a second massive mountain even greater than that of Caine appeared inside his frozen Territory. He could not convert it yet into Soul Energy, but Ohrox was no more.

What was left behind was a massive red crustal that Rowan quickly swallowed before its light would have covered the entirety of Trion.

That crystal was the Infernal Spark of the Demon King Ohrox that was left without a Soul to control it.
