Chapter 61 I Am Legend (6) His bloodline trait was activated, and if he was conscious, right at this moment he should have found himself in an ocean of golden blood, the farther you went up the ocean was the level of power you would be able to draw from. The golden ocean of blood was extremely deep, it could be said that it had no depth. It was not possible to see a shore, for the ocean seemed endless. Rowan was unconscious but the instruction he gave himself was not to be denied, he poured all his Soul points into Ouroboros, and like being caught between an unstoppable force and an immovable object, his bloodline was being forced to grow, yet he was not awake to select the ability he was to ascend with. A storm began to build inside his body, as his Soul points were held back by a single point, yet it continued to pile up the pressure, he began to cough blood as his body began to crack open, and although he healed extremely fast, his blood began to decorate the teleportation rune beneath him. It was a good thing his physique had grown to a terrifying state else the destructive forces raging in his body would have reduced him to atoms, it was unknown if he would be able to survive a wound like that given his fragile soul. It appeared that he would soon be torn apart from the pressure, until something gave. His Soul points could not enter his bloodline, but its aura was able to penetrate the mystical location, which was the source of the Empyrean bloodline. In that ocean of blood, an unknown aura that defied meaning but represented the height of potential in the multiverse swept through it, it resembled a formless force that could appear as diverse things to different individuals. It was the height of desire for any sentient and non-sentient species, and its presence on the material world was a temptation that none could withstand. Rowan only understood a fraction of the potential of his Soul point, which could be seen as a good thing as well as a bad one. There was a reason the Primordial keepers were not permitted to exist in the material multiverse. The golden ocean beneath that had been still for most of the time since the beginning of creation began to stir, and soon it began to tremble. This Movement caused a great conflagration, and the surrounding space began to twist and was torn apart. This space was incredibly stable, and it would be impossible for most known forces to make it even tremble. Yet, the movement of the golden ocean twisted this space, such display of power was shocking and represented the enormous powers that the golden ocean contained. The Aura of the Soul points was enough to stir this impressive power, and then a compromise was given. As Rowan was unable to choose an ability presently for him to ascend to the Legendary State, an ability inside this entire ocean of blood was willing to bond with him was to rise and merge with him. Presently, only one Legendary ability from the myriad of abilities would have to bond with him—An Empyrean with the Light of Creation at the tip of his fingers. For a long while, the ocean was like an agitated volcano, massive amounts of bloodline essence spewed thousands of feet into the air, and the skies were covered by thunderstorms that seemed to reach the end of existence. Inside the ocean, massive golden runes began to arise, the power they released was powerful enough to suppress an entire star. What was important was that this part of the bloodline ocean contained abilities only given to Legendary Empyrean, and the Bloodline Runes that emerged were a unique ability of Empyrean. For a while, there was endless pandemonium in the Bloodline ocean, before a loud call emerged from the depth of the ocean. The Bloodline Rune that emerged were massive, and their presence silenced a major part of the ocean. These Runes had not seen the light of the surface for countless eras, and as they arose more of the ocean became silent, and there were twelve of them, they were all at a similar level of power. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶 They gave out deep golden glows that seemed like a sort of communication pathway between them because there could only be one winner that could merge with this Blood. The twelve Bloodline Runes released massive amounts of power to intimidate their peers, but they were at a standstill, as they all had similar levels of abilities. Their competition was stopped by a massive sound that shook the entire ocean of blood, even extending far past the Legendary parts of the ocean, and three massive Bloodline Rune emerged from the ocean, giving out a palpable sense of antiquity as if they had existed at the beginning of creation. These Runes seemed almost alive, and their level of power had far surpassed the Legendary State and was giving out waves of power exceeding even the Incarnation State! The twelve Bloodline Runes giving out golden light fled instantly and buried themselves inside the Bloodline origin, and the skies above the Golden Ocean became clear and silent. The three runes began to arise, and they all seemed equal, and there was no confrontation between them, clearly this three Bloodline Rune were willing to merge with Rowan. As they approached the massive aura that Rowan soul point revealed, a change occurred and suddenly the power that the aura revealed increased once more. Inside Rowan's body, the soul points had never stopped trying to penetrate his bloodline, even if it was futile, and now instead of the usual single point attempting to penetrate the bloodline. An astonishing change occurred, perhaps due to the blockage caused by the bloodline traits, and every soul point now labored to enter the bloodline at once. What it caused inside the Bloodline origin was catastrophic, the Aura that the Soul points emitted before suddenly multiplied in volume, and shrouded most of the ocean and this formless Aura did not stop it spread at the Empyrean bloodline ocean, for it exceeded even that and proceeded towards the very source! At the edge of the Bloodline Origin, were incredibly ancient Empyrean, older than any living memory, these Empyrean had outlived even the universe that birthed them, and each of them was larger than a galaxy. They all bowed towards the beginning of the Bloodline Origin, and it seemed they have been at that position for an infinite amount of time. At the beginning of the Bloodline Origin was an area of dense fog that spanned multiple universes in scope. It was impossible for a mind lesser than a god to even fathom the scale of this fog. Myriad lights and ephemeral echoes emitted from this area, and in a tiny part of it, a trickle of golden blood escaped from the edge, it was this trickle that created the entire bloodline origin for Empyrean! From that fog, it was possible to see massive mystical chains that seemed to have no permanent state, they fluttered between the corporeal and spiritual, and each chain could contain entire galaxies. Those chains were uncountable in numbers, and they ran through the fog, and seemed to contain it. The Aura of the soul point spread past the chains and into the fog, and it was swallowed, leaving no trace behind. The chains began to shudder as something resembling a voice escaped from that fog, it was guttural and deep, and it was not something that any living creature should be able to speak out. The chains began to give out deep clanking sounds that echoed all over the universe and more chains were summoned, and the voice escaping the fog stopped. In the commotion, a drop of black blood shot out from the fog with an indescribable speed, and the chains were too slow to stop the escaping blood which shot into the Bloodline Origin of the Empyrean and disappeared.
