The Primordial Record - Chapter 1012 Immune To Time
Chapter 1012 Ā Immune To Time
The strike of the Ouroboros Serpent was so sudden, despite the evasion from Rhion, it was already too late. He managed to disassemble himself, but the Ouroboros Serpent had already drawn him into its stomach, it was a testament to the power of Rhion the Ascendant Explorer that he was able to appear on the tongue of the serpent after vanishing from its stomach. However, that action stripped him of a greater portion of his power.
This also led to his slow and torturous death, because the Ouroboros Serpent had been a bit curious about how Rhion had been able to survive and escape from its stomach, even if this shell was its avatar, it was still something that should not have happened.
The serpent delayed consuming Rhion and it watched the Ascendant Explorer struggle to his death with disappointment. It did not bother trying to eat Rhion quickly, its interest in the Ascendant already faded.
It was a good thing for the Ascendant that this Ouroboros Serpent was the most impatient one, and had snapped after a few seconds of waiting and therefore only caught a single Ascendant, if it was the others, then they would have patiently waited until all the Ascendants were close enough to swallow in one bite.
“Not possible, this cannot be possible!!!”
“It is not holding it, the Time-fields are still in place but it is moving through it! Fall back!”
The sensation the Ascendants were feeling at this moment was indescribable. Something considered truly impossible was happening in front of them, and they understood that this was not happening because of a gap in their power base.
For instance, a weaker Ascendant could not hold back a stronger one using Will, but what was happening here was different. The Time Stop was still in place, and yet, it was not holding the serpent. They could feel the scales of the serpent slithering through their domain, and it felt wrong, almost as if every motion was raping their mind, it felt distinctly awful, if they had mortal bodies they would be curled up, puking their guts out.
The call for retreat came fast, they would be reconsidering their position and the right method for attack, but the Serpent was faster. Its massive size was no indication of its speed as it surged upwards and curled around the opening in the crater, covering it with all with only three twists of its body.
With the present length of the Ouroboros Serpent, it only took just its neck to fill up the entire hole, and then it looked down at six Ascendants below, and the Ouroboros Serpentā¦ it laughed.
The golden glow from its eyes began to bloom like a smoldering flame that was being fed with kindling.
This froze the Ascendants in place, and they watched firsthand as the body of the serpent expanded, its head already bigger than a small town a few miles across, expanding by another circle, and it no longer needed three twists to fill the hole, only one was enough.
The mocking sound of the serpent grew louder, but this was only a distraction for three other Ouroboros Serpents to attack from belowā¦
The fate of the Ascendants was sealed, only death awaited them, but an unexpected event happened that changed everything, and it came from a party that no one had expectedāNoah Rithmast.

There was something that Old Man Seed and Elura had never told Rowan. They were old monsters and they had realized something fundamental about this child that he was not aware of, like old monsters they kept this knowledge to themselves, knowing that at the right moment, it could become an unexpected bargaining chip.
This trait was bizarre and unexpected.
Rowan was not affected by Time.
Standing beside a higher-dimensional entity was not as simple as it appeared to be on the surface. They were constantly surrounded by countless phenomena associated with Time and other higher dimensional energy. This was a defense every higher-dimensional being began to utilize when they got access to the control of higher dimensions, doing away with the standard energy state defense.
Old Man Seed’s favorite was a sphere of Still-Time he kept around his body, making it impossible for any attack below the seventh dimension to reach him. It did not matter how powerful the attack was, if it could not breach his control over time that had reached the seventh dimension, it was useless.
The same way with approaching him, unless he permitted it, no one could stand near him. Having an area of Still Time around him also rendered him virtually untraceable and invisible.
Imagine his surprise when Rowan had not only seen him but perfectly heard him during their first encounter. Old Man Seed had never planned to show himself to Rowan in the manner he did, he had initially planned something more bombastic to showcase his nature as a seventh-dimensional being, but Rowan’s unique nature had made that attempt useless.
Old Man Seed was used to throwing his words forward in time after he spoke them, he had to, in order to penetrate the area of Still Time around him, and when he first saw Rowan in the frozen waste, he had thrown the answer to the question in his heart about why he was being rejected by the Primordial Dimension forward in time, and it was supposed to arrive a second later, but Rowan had turned and heard him the moment he spoke and effortlessly pierced the veil he had over his body.
With his character, Old Man Seed had stepped closer to Rowan and was dumbstruck when the sphere of Still Time around his body was dissipated.
When he referred to Rowan as a freak, there was more to his words, and if Rowan had access to the multiple layers of sight granted by the Supreme Circles, he would have heard something different.
However with Old Man Seed’s insight he soon learned that this ability did not come from Rowan, but from something that he kept with him.
Rowan did not know how easily he would have been made an experimental lab rat if the discernment of Old Man Seed about his nature had not been particularly thorough. He had also warned Elura about this nature of Rowan and warned her that it did not come from the boy himself but from something truly powerful in his possession unless the first confrontation between Rowan and Elura would have been very different.
Old Man Seed had been waiting for Rowan to trust him enough so he could ask what sort of treasure could resist the touch of time around a seventh-dimensional entity, and he was patient enough to wait.
If only he had known that Rowan was with the eye of the Primordial of Time itself, he would have never been so calm. But of course, how could he ever guess such a thing? As far as anyone knew, there was not even a Primordial of Time in existence.
Rowan could resist the Time Stop ability of Will Holders up to the fourth dimension with no issues, and perhaps he might struggle against the fifth, but he did not have total immunity against time, at least that was what he had first thought. Alll šštest novšlš on novelbšn/(.)cšm
The Eye of The Primordial of Time and Evil was not a simple item after all, it did not only bring madness to the holder, it ensured that Time had no sway over them. Rowan had not yet had the period to discover this feature, and if he was awake at this moment he would have realized it.
