Chapter 963 Primordial Runes And Entering The Pillar Of Light (Part 1)

"What do you mean by they will regret entering the void?" Evan asked Azroth when he saw the cold look in his eyes.

Hearing Evan's question, Azroth didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the sky and slowly, the blood-red eye that had appeared in the sky began to disappear.

Once Azroth stopped using the Gaze of Monarch, the sky returned to normal and the killing intent that had filled the area dissipated.

After deactivating the Gaze of Monarch, Azroth examined the collapsed space of the Tomb.

Because of the powerful auras, only a few thousand kilometres of space around the pillar of light remained intact, while the rest had collapsed into a dark void.

Evan followed Azroth's gaze and saw that the void was filled with a large amount of Eldritch Energy.

"The amount of Eldritch Energy inside the void space is way higher than outside..." Evan narrowed his eyes when he saw this and wondered where this Eldritch Energy was coming from.

Seeing the Eldritch Energy, Azroth's expression remained unchanged and he walked towards the pillar of light.

When Evan saw Azroth walking towards the pillar of light, he stopped thinking about other things and his face turned serious.

'I hope Elora is fine...' He prayed inwardly as Azroth stopped in front of the altar from which the pillar of light was emerging.

After stopping in front of the altar, Azroth took out a dagger from the storage ring Evan was wearing and made a deep cut on his palm.

Red blood flowed out, and Azroth poured it on the outer edges of the altar where ancient runes were engraved.

As he poured his blood on the runes, they glowed with red light and absorbed his blood like a sponge.

Azroth walked around the giant altar and poured his blood on every single rune engraved on it.

Seeing how Azroth was pouring his blood without any care, Evan gulped his saliva and asked in a dead voice.

"Hey, I won't die from blood loss, right?"

Azroth ignored Evan's comment and focused on the Primordial Monarch Core.

As he focused on the core, Primordial Shadow Energy came out of it and flowed through his body, releasing a golden light.

Under the effect of the conceptual energy of life, all the blood he was losing began to replenish at an astonishing speed.

"Damn, how can he use it so easily..." Evan couldn't help but mutter, watching how easily Azroth was controlling Shadow Energy.

The altar was a hundred meters in diameter with more than fifty runes engraved on its outer edges, so it took Azroth nearly three minutes to pour his blood on every single rune.

Once he was done, a golden light flashed around his palm and the wound immediately healed.

"What are you trying to do?" Evan asked once Azroth stopped pouring his blood on the runes.

"Opening the altar for you," Azroth replied indifferently and began drawing something in mid-air with his right hand.

His movements were rhythmic, and as he drew, the surrounding air started to vibrate.

The Primordial Shadow Energy within his body began to deplete rapidly and soon, Evan saw some runes starting to appear in mid-air, glowing brightly.

"These Runes are..."

When Evan saw the Runes that Azroth was creating, he felt a strange familiarity with them as if he had seen them before.

He tried to recall where he had seen these runes, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't remember.

"Primordial Runes," Suddenly, Azroth spoke in a low voice.

"What?" Evan was so focused on the runes that were manifesting so he didn't hear Azroth clearly and spoke in a confused voice.

"These are Primordial Runes," Azroth explained. "The power of Primordial Runes is beyond your imagination. Don't even think about using them at your current level."

"Primordial Runes..." Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard Azroth.

He ignored the part where Azroth said he couldn't use them and asked a different question. "Why do I feel like I've seen these runes before?"

Azroth continued drawing and stroked one of the runes with his finger.

"You feel this way because we are among the few beings with knowledge of the Primordial Runes. Primordial Runes leave a deep impression on your soul whenever you use them. So although you don't remember them for now, your soul still retains an impression of them because you had used them in the past."

"Leave a deep impression on the soul..." Evan said in a strange voice, looking at Azroth, who finally stopped drawing.

The moment Azroth stopped, three strange-looking runes manifested in front of him and with a wave of his hand, he sent those runes toward the altar.

The runes touched the altar and the moment they touched it, they were absorbed by it.

Once the runes were absorbed by the altar, the pillar of light started to shake.

Evan watched everything without blinking, wondering what would happen next.

As he looked at the shaking pillar, Azroth suddenly said something that shocked him.

"The Rune of Evolution engraved on your chest is also one of the Primordial Runes and can be considered the strongest among them."

Hearing Azroth, Evan was stunned and wanted to ask more about it, but he realized the surging power within his body started to dissipate and he regained control of his body.

"Don't act carelessly after entering the pillar and when you break the soul seals, start with the upper seals first."

Evan heard Azroth's voice and saw his soul strand, which had entered his Primordial Core under the effect of Shadow Possession emerge from it.

Just as Evan thought Azroth's soul strand would return to his soul space, it broke into millions of particles and dispersed within his body.

Evan was stunned when he saw this and thought about using the Psychic Soul Realm skill to check his soul space.

But before he could use his skill to understand what had happened, a large amount of energy started to flow throughout his body.
