Victor nodded in response. "That's for sure. As long as he doesn't have any influence or power, there's absolutely nothing for us to fear!"Jada concurred. "Yeah. I heard that he was just released from prison a couple of days ago for smashing a beer bottle over Easton's head. Easton eventually made use of connections to have him sent to prison!""Hehe," Victor chuckled after hearing what Jada said. "If he could be sent to prison, then it's clear that he doesn't have any connections at all. Only the weak suffer the brunt of the law, so we can now be sure that Severin is just an ordinary person!"He had been worried that Severin might turn out to be a powerful person simply because the latter was staying in the villa. Once he found out the exact situation surrounding Severin, however, he realized that there was absolutely nothing to fear, judging from how easily the Loughs were able to deal with him.However, Jada thought of something and could not help but remind Victor, "Dad, there
At that moment, Victor selected more than twenty of his family's bodyguards, all of whom were warriors with formidable fighting power. Among them were the heads of several of his bodyguard teams."What do you think? These men should be enough, right?" Victor asked proudly when he saw Jada coming out.Jada looked at them and nodded with satisfaction. "Even Hulk is coming, hehe. Not bad, not bad!""Hulk? Is he strong? He doesn't look particularly tall!" Prunella looked at the person that Jada called Hulk. He was about 1.8 meters tall, but he did not seem to have a lot of muscles in his arms. Though he looked much stronger than ordinary people, the other bodyguards looked much stronger than him.That comment elicited a smile from Victor as he said, "Show her your strength, Hulk.""Roger that, sir!"Hulk walked over, looked left and right, and finally set his sight on a huge marble slab in the lawn. The slab was more than thirty centimeters tall and looked exceptionally sturdy. Hulk
"Who the hell are these two old people?" Prunella asked when the only people she saw were an old couple. Her rage began boiling deep inside and she demanded, "Tell your son and daughter-in-law to come out!"Judith gulped, took a step forward, and said, "Everyone, m-m-my son and daughter-in-law went out and they're not back yet. May I ask why you're looking for Severin?""Hehe, you think we'd believe that? He's probably hiding inside!" Jada snickered coldly. She waved her hand and then ordered the bodyguards, "Get in there and search carefully, fellas. Don't believe a single word that's coming out of this old couple!"About seven or eight bodyguards rushed inside at once. Judith and Maurice looked at each other and could not help but frown. Though they had no idea who the other people were, they remembered that Jada was the woman from the restaurant the previous night, and it was likely that she was causing trouble for them because of what happened at the restaurant.After a while,
Maurice had always felt that he was an incapable man, especially after Severin was imprisoned. He felt sorry for his beloved wife Judith who had to suffer a lot along with him.As soon as he saw Judith was beaten, he got angry and decided that he would rather risk his life to fight the other party than just sit by and watch them have their way.Jada covered his face and looked at Maurice in a daze. "How…how dare you slap me?""Maurice! What are you doing? Get down on your knees and apologize..." Judith was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled Maurice's hand."Not a chance. I only kneel to my parents. Why should I kneel with them? It's their fault, and they're the ones who are bullying us and causing trouble." Maurice was getting animated, and he shouted with reddened eyes. "I'll fight them, even if it means breaking every single bone in my body!""You were dead meat the second you laid hands on our young miss!" When a bodyguard saw that, he stepped forward and raised his leg to
"Are you sleepwalking? It's already afternoon! Don't you think it's about time you woke up from your dreamland?" Severin sneered when he heard the other party's vicious remark. Everyone in front of him was mere child's play."Sharp tongue, kid. Today's the day you'll find out that we're not that easy to mess with!" Victor smiled coldly and glared at Severin.Severin turned around and said to Judith and Maurice, "Mom, Dad! Bring Selene in. I don't want her to see the bloodbath that will happen once we start throwing hands here." After saying that, he turned to Diane again. "Honey, if you're afraid, you should go in and lock the door!""I'm not. And there's no point in locking the door." Diane was well aware of reality. "They'll come for us anyway if you get beaten down!""Let's go in, Selene!" Judith led Selene into the house along with Maurice."Ah, it hurts, it hurts! I think my bone is broken!" The bodyguard who had been struck by the stone earlier was still squatting on the gro
The incident left Jada feeling terrified. She gulped and was completely bereft of ideas."What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, and one person can't possibly go up against so many people. I'm more than confident that a third-tier family like us can handle a pesky little hothead like him!" Victor glanced at his men and felt more certain of his abilities."Oh? This is mighty arrogant of a third-tier family like you, but even if you were a first-tier family, you people are nothing in my eyes!" Severin snickered. The other party had forced his mother to kneel, slapped her, and then beat his father up. He could not imagine how far they would go if he had arrived even a second too late. When he thought about how his parents suffered because of him over the past few years and still had to be subjected to those people's bullying, he felt an indescribable rage deep in his heart.Diane, who was standing behind Severin, covered her mouth in fright after seeing his fighting abilities
"How…how dare you hit me!" Jada was completely stunned when Larry slapped her in the face. and she could feel her head ringing from the aftermath.She had never been slapped since young and her parents spoiled her rotten, but she the three slaps in just two days, one by Severin the previous night, then by Maurice just several minutes ago, and finally by Larry. If there was ever a title of 'Professional Slap-Receiver', she would probably be the first to get it."And? What are you going to do about it?" Larry's expression soured. He looked at Jada and said, "To think that you had the gall to call someone like Mister Severin a b*stard. Where's that pea brain of yours? Mister Severin is like an elder brother to me, and his wife is like my sister-in-law. You've got it coming for you if you conspired to do something so insidious to my sister-in-law."The slap was a strong one that drew blood from the corner of Jada's mouth. She took a few steps back with an aggrieved expression and no lon
Victor gritted his teeth and glared at Severin.By his calculations, Severin would have become disabled had it not been for the good relationship with the supreme leader of Draco Hall. To make things even worse, Severin did not seem to know what was good for him and continued to confront their family boldly.Severin's expression was as cold as ever. "I want all of you to kneel, slap yourselves ten times, and promise never to cause trouble to me or my family again. Don't even think about leaving this place until you've done as I ordered!""Surround them!" Larry told his men. As soon as he heard Severin's cold words, he knew that the Dracodeus Temple's Supreme Leader was truly very angry. None of those idiots realized the sheer formidability of the individual they had just offended!Dozens of Draco Hall's people immediately surrounded the Stones."I'm the head of Stones, Severin. Do you expect me to kneel to a guy like you?" Victor's face was red with anger. His eyes were bloodshot,
At that instant, Infernatur and Damnatur felt a sudden chill, as if an impending doom loomed on the horizon.Severin then said softly to them, "I'm gonna need you as a helping hand!"Infernatur and Damnatur recoiled as a horrifying realization dawned upon them."Have you taken that leap?" Infernatur's voice trembled with uncertainty.Severin remained silent and simply waved his hand gently. The 129,600 cosmic laws surged with boundless power, reducing the huge figures of Infernatur and Damnatur to dust.Within moments, two essences of pure primordial power flowed into Severin's inner world, while the desolate chaos sea crumbled and was consumed by his voracious appetite.Severin's form eventually began to fade until it became a flicker of light that vanished completely. His consciousness had been devoured entirely.Everything before him was empty and devoid of substance.An indefinite amount of time passed before Severin's voice echoed through the emptiness, "Chaos springs from
With a deft stroke of the bronze halberd, the path hovering above Severin shattered."This is a peculiar weapon," Severin recoiled in alarm, raising the Oculus Blade to defend himself "It has the ability to dismantle the great path!"Simultaneously, he utilized his space-time path to shield against potential assaults, especially any sneak attacks.Explosions reverberated, unleashing torrents of elemental energy and spatial turbulence throughout the chaotic sea. Time passed indeterminately amidst the chaos.For centuries, the trio engaged in combat, their auras undiminished by time's passage.Meanwhile, the four Dominus Nosters in the Celestial Realm waged war against the extraterrestrial intruders, reclaiming territories with unparalleled ferocity.Under the leadership of figures like Callide, the extraterrestrials were simply no match for them.The Southern, Western, and Devil Regions were reclaimed quickly, yet everyone from the Celestial Realm remained vigilant, for war conti
Outside the Heaven Palace, the few who had been appointed Dominus Noster along with a cohort of quasi-royal celestials were faced with the grim reality at hand.Clad in resplendent hues, Callide—who was their leader and carried the title Dominus Noster Arcanum—donned celestial attire woven from stars and the galaxy. With a regal bearing, she commanded from atop a cloud, "Follow me, my brethren! We shall vanquish the extraterrestrials in the Devil Realm!""At your command, Dominus Noster Arcanum!""Yes, Dominus Noster Arcanum!"With their resounding battle cries, streams of light surged across the Nine Heavens Ten Lands, converging upon the territories occupied by the extraterrestrials—they were the Devil Region, Southern Region, and the Western Region.Amidst the vibrant rainbow, a towering figure emerged, blotting out the sky and earth. Everyone recognized that figure as Severin, and knew that the battle against the quasi-celestial regents would soon begin.Adrian, who was alrea
Armin then spoke with a calm authority, "You cannot remain in this time and space, for you are from the future. It is time you return."As he uttered these words, Severin sensed an invisible force pushing against him and urging him to depart.Standing upon the river of time, he overlooked the tumult of the quasi-celestial regent conflict looming below. He mumbled Armin's counsel, "By receiving nourishment, shattering constraints, tearing open chaos, and reaching the other side…" As Severin pondered over those revelations for an indefinite amount of time, clarity dawned upon him like the sudden rising sun. "So that's the way!"By the time he snapped to his senses, he discovered that his primal spirit had traversed countless epochs in the river of time. "Did I spend that long in the river of time?" he asked himself. Fortunately, the duration he spent in the river of time was but a fleeting moment in the real world.Severin's resolve solidified. Though his brief discourse with Armin,
Severin could sense the mental connection between himself and the weapon, almost as if it was an extension of himself. Severin then raised his gaze to the celestial expanse beyond."I'm almost on Armin's level now that I've made a breakthrough to the rank of quasi-celestial sovereign. However, facing the extraterrestrials' quasi-celestial regents isn't going to be easy meat for me," he mused aloud.Armin was once the sovereign architect of the Imperial Court and the ruler of the Celestial Realm, yet even he found himself at the mercy of the attack of Heaven's Will. Even a mighty quasi-celestial sovereign was reduced to naught but dust.Severin felt the weight of the responsibility settle upon him. Confronting the two quasi-celestial regents would require him to transcend to the realm of celestial sovereign—a realm of which he had scant knowledge of.He understood the concept of the celestial sovereign only in the context of attaining liberation through enlightenment via the 3,000 p
In the vast expanse of the chaotic sea, occasional gusts of strong wind whipped up the formidable chaotic energy. A single whirlpool could claim the life of even a true immortal.Amidst that tumult, two colossal figures lay prone within the abyss. They emanated an aura of unparalleled power, commanding even the paths to heed their authority. The turbid breath exhaled in their slumber had the capacity to tear the fabric of the chaotic void, unveiling dreamlike cosmic chiliocosms.They were the progenitors of the extraterrestrial race, the alpha and omega of the enigmatic beings. Their names were Infernatur and Damnatur. To the uninitiated, and sometimes even to their own kind, it was widely believed that Infernatur and Damnatur were distinct entities. However, they were but facets of the same being.Infernatur could be deemed the primordial offspring of chaos itself, having borne witness to the most primitive and barbaric epochs of the Bleu Celestial Realm. Being born of chaos, he po
Heaven Palace could now boast four royal celestials, along with nearly 20 quasi-royal celestials and 5,000 true immortals. Those esteemed individuals once served the Longevity Alliance, Clear Wind Sect, Tri Celestial Island, and Ingeni Paradise. While their numbers paled in comparison to the 120,000 true immortals during the ancient Imperial Court's heyday, Severin was confident that he could revive that with time. After all, the new Imperial Court had only just been re-established, and there was still more work to do.Severin then addressed the assembly, "As you continue raising your attainment, you shall have to anticipate the looming threat of conflict with the extraterrestrials. Now that you have are bestowed with titles as the custodians of heaven and earth, it is our solemn duty to reciprocate the blessings bestowed upon us.""Yes, we shall!" echoed the resolute affirmation from the gathered immortals.Having concluded his address, Severin went to speak briefly with Diane and
In the Heaven Palace, Callide sensed that the aura emanating from Severin was simultaneously as vast the sky and ocean but as indiscernible as that of a mortal. Tremors of terror gripped her, as she knew that he had far surpassed the realm of a cultivator who had attained the perfect-stage royal celestial. It was no exaggeration to say that Severin could obliterate a royal celestial with a mere thought.Balke, Libra, and Creatia shared Callide's apprehension. To them, Severin embodied the very essence of the path—intangible, silent, abstruse, incomprehensible, and undetectable.As the imperial robe adorned Severin, Balke and the others bowed in reverence. "Long live the Celestial Sovereign!" they chanted in unison.A subtle wave of fortune floated toward the heavenly heart imprint as Severin acknowledged their worship with a satisfied smile. He raised his hand and lifted them effortlessly with an unseen force.With a thunderous voice that resonated in their ears, Severin proclaimed
The true immortals, quasi-royal celestials, and even the eminent royal celestials held their breath. Everyone observed in silence as Severin wielded the heavenly heart imprint.With each strand of luck infused into the heavenly heart imprint, Severin sensed his dominion over the Bleu Celestial Realm becoming stronger. He had the feeling that he could reshape the world with only a single thought.Once the destinies of tens of thousands of races were bound with the heavenly heart imprint, the golden tourmaline quivered violently and radiated an aura that could be felt across the Nine Heavens Ten Lands. Acknowledging the momentous occasion, Severin tapped his forehead and directed a fragment of his soul to command the heavenly heart imprint. The 3,000 great paths within him erupted from his being and materialized."Today shall be the day that I, Severin, rebuild the Imperial Court in the Nine Heavens! As wielder of the great path, the world shall be inscribed in me, and I shall embody
