It took no time at all for Severin to get rid of the cockroach. He then came out of the bathroom and said, "Miss Chelsea, I've already got rid of the cockroach. You can shower at peace now."Chelsea rolled her eyes at him. "Well, hurry up and get out of the room!"After Severin exited the room, Chelsea quickly jogged over to lock the door. She sighed with relief before throwing the bed sheet she had wrapped around her to the bed."Ugh! This is so annoying. No man has ever seen me naked before. He should feel honored to be the first one." After that, she touched her chest. "D*mmit! They're not really that small, right? I can't help but wonder how big his wife's boobs really are."After Severin went back to his room, he could not stop thinking about what he saw just now. He started to get restless but then shook his head to clear it before climbing into bed to take a nap.An hour later, he got up and took out his cauldron to refine some alchemical pills. Three hours later, he had in
The bodyguards noticed Severin and Chelsea as soon as the two of them stepped out of the mansion. One of the captains walked up to them with several of his underlings.The captain glanced at Severin before asking, "Miss Chelsea, are you going out? Let us go with you to ensure your safety."Chelsea waved her hand. "That won't be necessary. I'll be safe with Severin."The captain held a secret crush toward Chelsea and was usually the one who accompanied her everywhere. He was already a little peeved of Severin's existence and he became more so when Chelsea chose Severin over him.His face darkened and he looked suspiciously at Severin. "I'm not sure this punk can really protect you, Miss Chelsea. Look at how skinny and pale he is. I won't be surprised if you have to end up protecting him!"Severin glanced at the captain. "Don't worry. Mister Richard has agreed to let me act as a bodyguard to Miss Chelsea for these few days. In other words, I've been thoroughly vetted by him."The c
"Kyron!" cried out Kyron's underlings.They were shocked by just how strong the invisible air pressure was too.However, Severin was able to control the air pressure to be concentrated on only Kyron so his underlings remained unaffected. Even so, they could feel the immense energy Severin was emitting and they knew they were no match for him."I… I surrender!" shouted Kyron. He knew Severin was the real thing.Severin smiled, and with a thought, the air pressure dissipated.Kyron sat down on the ground with a thud as relief washed over him."Let's go, Miss Chelsea," said Severin with a smile."Okay!" Chelsea glanced at Kyron before following Severin out of the compound.Kyron watched dazedly at the two disappearing figures. After a while, he finally stood up. "Just what is his level? That pressure just now… It was horrifyingly strong!""No wonder Mister Richard asked him to protect Miss Chelsea. She'll definitely be safe with such a strong guy beside her!" said one of Kyron's un
After mulling over it, Chelsea added, "You saw me naked this afternoon so you owe me this favor. When we go in, pretend you're my boyfriend and we'll be even after this."Severin was speechless. A few seconds later, he whispered back. "Didn't I just give you a first-grade high-rank pill just now? So we're already even, aren't we?""No, that's not enough. No guy has ever seen me naked before. You're actually the first one so you'll need to do a little bit more for me to call us even."Chelsea raised her head and stopped talking immediately because her friends were closing in on them as they spoke.Audrey grabbed her hand and asked with a smile,"Chelsea, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me?"Severin could tell the two girls would be very good friends if it were not for the fact Audrey insisted on setting Chelsea up with the fatso.Chelsea smiled neutrally. "I just got off the plane today. I was planning on telling you tomorrow so imagine my surprise to bump into you whil
Audrey immediately recovered from her shock. She took a good look at Severin and asked, "Severin Feuillet? I've never heard of this name before. He's not from Wymount City, is he?""Does it matter where I'm from?" Severin asked with an indifferent smile. He then put his arm around Chelsea's waist to get a rise out of Audrey. "What matters is we love each other, right, Chelsea?"Chelsea was shocked by his action but then she started to mentally curse him for taking advantage of her. However, she knew she could not push him away; not when everyone was looking at them so she smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes. That's all that it matters. I don't care whether he's rich or whether he comes from an upper-class family or not. All of that doesn't matter to me!"Audrey saw her opening. She immediately said snarkily, "Like h*ll I would believe that. Who doesn't love money? You're not worthy of being with Chelsea if you're not rich!""She's right! Don't you know money makes the world go round?"
Chelsea's lips twitched involuntarily. 'Dr*t! I've been set up by her.'She immediately smiled awkwardly and said, "What are you talking about, Audrey? You're all my friends, not his. Besides, this is his first time meeting you all so I should be the one paying for the dinner."Hearing this, Audrey and Rico exchanged glances with each other. At that moment, they became even more confident that Severin was poor because if not, Chelsea would not have insisted on paying for the dinner."Chelsea, it's only dinner. I'm sure your boyfriend could afford this much. Besides, aren't your friends his friends too? Since you two are together and all. There's really no need to nitpick about whose friends we are," said Rico."Mister Rico is right!" Zayne piped up. "We'll just treat the dinner as a celebration of you two dating. So your boyfriend should be the one paying. Plus, we'll be hanging out quite often in the future and as a man, it won't look good on him if you're the one footing the bill
Audrey's lips twitched uncontrollably. She never expected the tables would turn like that. 'Ooh… I'm going to make him pay for humiliating me like that.'Zayne raised up his glass. "Come, everyone. Let's raise up your glass and cheers to Chelsea coming back!""Yeah, it's been a while since we all drank together. Let's go all out tonight since we've ordered so many good wines!" said Rico. He was in a bad mood but he forced himself to be calm.Everyone started drinking and eating after that.After a while, Rico deliberately asked, "Severin, you didn't even blink at the prices on the menu. Could it be that you come from a filthy rich family?"Severin smiled. "My family is comfortable. What I can say is we're definitely way richer than your family."Rico's lips twitched violently while his face gradually darkened. He never expected Severin would be that arrogant."Huh! I bet you're just talk. Did you have a lot to drink? Are you drunk?" Audrey chuckled. "Rico actually comes from a
"How can you let such an unreliable guy be your boyfriend? Wouldn't Mister Rico here be a better option?" Audrey asked snarkily.As good-tempered as Chelsea was, even she could not stand how Audrey kept on picking on Severin. Her face darkened. "Audrey Moore, I know what kind of boyfriend Severin is, so you don't have to worry about anything. Plus, sticking your nose in other people's business is really not a good look on you."Audrey's face darkened too. Sensing she had pushed Chelsea to her limit, she softened her tone a little. "Chelsea, we meant you well. We should marry our own kind. We're also worried you'll be cheated by a sc*mbag."Unexpectedly, the restaurant's manager came running into the room and said, "I'm sorry, folks. But someone has booked the entire restaurant so all of you will need to eat somewhere else.""You must be joking, right? Who's the arrogant pr*ck that's kicking us out?" Rico asked unhappily."Are you blind? Don't you know this here is Mister Rico, of
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
