The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1099

Chapter 1099: Time Storm

Storm Hammer lost track of time, and the only thing she knew was the pain. She repeatedly tried to activate her power over Time but like a raw wound that had been scrapped to the bone, anytime she touched the Dan, her chest exploded, it was not her Dan that was faulty, it was that both Time itself and the people around her were so resistant to the influence of her Dan.

After trying to stop time for the third time, Storm Hammer went numb in horror when the new senses she had developed as she reached her First Dan began to fade. She knew of Ascendants that suffered Calamitous damages and their ranking dropped, but those Ascendants were literally taken to the edge of death and despite the damages she was suffering, she had lost not more than thirty percent of her Core Aura. How was she losing her Dan this easily?

"No, no, no, no...." Storm Hammer screamed internally, her anguish and disbelief creating visual phenomena around her. Once the Dan was lost, it was almost impossible for it to be regained, she had only survived this long against the Calamity God because of her Dan, without it, she would not last a millennium.

A loud keening sound emerged from her body as a massive shockwave carrying the color of time blasted out from Storm Hammer. It was a Time Storm.

The body of Storm Hammer was squeezed, bent, and stretched to various inhuman poses as the power of Time fled from her body. All around her was chaos as the world went mad.

The Blood Blessed assaulted her we're blasted back for hundreds of miles, as the Time Storm ravaged everything around them to dust. Golden energy poured out of their bodies serving as shields to bear the brunt of the storm, but among the oldest, white hair began to crop amongst the red of their hair, and for the younger ones, especially Young Po who was closest to Storm Hammer before the Time Storm exploded out of her body, he became a full grown adult.

The Blood Blessed knew that the golden energy shielded them from the worst of the storm because in front of their eyes, metals and everything that could decay, crumbled into dust.

Several shockwaves of Time blasted out from the shrieking Storm Hammer until it subsided and the world was covered in silence.

In the aftermath of the destruction that has turned nearly a hundred miles into a desert and several unknown phenomena behind, Young Po stood up and did not seek out the Ascendant instead he was admiring his new body and flexing his arms to reveal his gigantic biceps, standing more than nine feet tall, his biceps were as big as watermelons.

He began to laugh crazily, but his laughter turned to horror when golden flames consumed him and he began to shrink, he cried out in shock and dismay as his massive biceps that was bigger than his head began to shrink and his bones folded into themselves, as his body reasserted itself from the hold of time.

Young Po began to weep, his eyes that were filled with anger turned towards Storm Hammer who had risen from the massive crater caused by the Time Storm, she looked around confused for a moment before taking to the skies, a few moments with the speed of an Ascendant she would vanish from the continent.
