Everyone on the mayor's side was startled. "The Mount Blade Gang is a strong force," Hamish reminded.Richard immediately said, "Do you need our help?""We can help too!" Hamish echoed to show his loyalty.Severin refused with a smile. "Don't bother. I can go alone. There's no need to kill too many people. The gang will crumble if their gang leader and a few of their strongest elders are dead.""But they will have a lot of property and assets left behind if their gang crumbles! They are involved in plenty of different industries!" Richard seemed to have thought of something, and he wanted to see if he could reap some benefits.Severin looked at Richard, and then at Hamish.Credit was due to Hamish for finding out about Canis Hall, so he thought for a moment before saying, "Well, you might not be able to handle everything if you take over all the assets, and you might even be in danger by the time I leave. You and the Wymount City Mansion can split whatever assets left behind equa
"What?! But why?!" The great elder looked at Vinn with a confused expression.After all, they suffered numerous casualties, and it was unlike Vinn to just back down.Vinn then said, "You, of all people, should know how strong our deceased comrades are. And yet here they are, dead as a dodo. I don't think there are a lot of people in Wymount City who would be strong enough to kill him. If there are, then they would either be from a first-tier family or Wymount City Mansion. Even if we know who did it, what can we hope to do about it? We can't afford to mess with them, can we?"All of a sudden, the elders who had been so eager to kill the culprit became silent in an instant. They shut their mouths right away, knowing that they were unable to provoke the opponents. At that moment, however, they heard a quick succession of blows. Several of the guards flew back and crashed lifelessly to the ground.Severin walked in leisurely and said calmly, "I am the culprit that you're looking for.
"Great Elder!" Some of the stronger members of the gang shouted in fright after seeing what had happened. They all had a sour look on their faces."His attainment must be high. We need to attack him all at once!" Vinn immediately stood up and said to everyone."Yes, we'll attack him simultaneously!" The second elder said without hesitation. He did not even stop to think of how shameful it would be for them to go up against Severin despite outnumbering him so greatly."Hehe, that's the way to go!" Severin smiled subtly and produced the first-grade spiritual sword that he had just obtained not long ago."Did you think you could win against the six of us with just one weapon?" the second elder laughed.The great elder reminded the others. "Be on your toes, everyone. That sword isn't just an ordinary mystical weapon. It's a spiritual weapon.""He has such treasures?" Vinn's eyes lit up slightly when he heard that."Now!" They immediately launched an attack on Severin."Hehe, Rose-P
Severin glanced at the people in front of him. He said with a faint smile, "I'll spare your lives if you hand over any spiritual herbs that are at least second-grade or higher. Just place them on the ground."Everyone was overjoyed, and they immediately took out the herbs that they had on them. None of them dared to pull a fast one on Severin because they knew that they would be facing the prospect of death if Severin checked each one of them. Severin was pleased to see the herbs, and he used his powers to levitate more than a hundred of those herbs.After putting them safely away, he said to the people, "You may leave. I hereby declare that the Mount Blade Gang shall now cease to exist. I leave it to all of you to disband yourselves!""Thank you for not killing me!" Everyone who was kneeling on the ground stood up and left in despair.Hamish, Richard, and the others were completely shocked by what they had seen. Those six strong men were considered to be the strongest individuals
Chelsea's eyes lit up when she heard that. "That's a great method! Perhaps you'll be able to find new leads with that method."By noon, news of a certain man single-handedly destroying the Mount Blade Gang began to spread. Rumor had it that the man had a close relationship with the Maddocks and even lived there.That night, Hamish made reservations at a restaurant and invited Severin along with the Maddocks to dinner. After dinner was over, Severin went back with the Maddocks back to their villa. As the car approached the gate, an elderly couple appeared out of nowhere. They knelt in front of the car and stopped it."Who are you? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" The bodyguard who was at the wheel got out of the car and scolded them."We're here to thank the man who destroyed the Mount Blade Gang! Can we meet him? We just want to kneel to him and thank him for helping us destroy the Mount Blade Gang!" The old man said animatedly as he knelt on the ground.Severin got out of
"Cherridom?!" Severin was a little happy to hear that. At least there was a solid lead to where Canis Hall might be. Had he not been told that the other person has escaped to Cherridom, it would be the same as finding a needle in a haystack.The old man nodded. "Yes. When they first left, my daughter didn't dare to contact our family for fear that the people from Mount Blade Gang might target the elderly. We only learned about their whereabouts a month ago."Severin nodded. "That must've been hard for you."After expressing his sympathy, Severin realized that the two men were dressed rather shabbily. It was probably a sign that they did not have a good life. After all, their son had died, and their daughter had not been in contact with them anymore. Surely it would have been difficult for the two of them. With that thought, Severin said, "Could you please give me your bank account? I'll transfer one and a half million dollars to you.""What? One and a half million dollars?" The old
"Okay. Remember to take care of yourself there. Cherridom might not be huge, but it's different from Dracodom. The people there have always been hostile to us, which is why you will have to be extra careful."Chelsea felt a little lost, but all she could do was just remind Severin.She was like a friend to him, so he nodded immediately and reassured her. "I will. Don't worry."Severin then turned to Richard. "When I'm done, I'll probably come here first so they can reunite with their family. Once you and the mayor divide the Mount Blade Gang's assets, please leave a few villas empty for us so we can all have a place to stay.""Don't worry, Mister Severin. We'll have them ready before you return." Richard nodded with a smile.After making the arrangements, Severin went upstairs to rest."I can't believe he's leaving so soon!" Richard lamented. He then said to Chelsea, "Why didn't you propose the idea of joining him over on his journey to Cherridom? At least he'll have a companion
"Hey, man. Don't you think you're being too hard on her?" Severin could not stand the man's aggressive behavior and stepped forward to help. From her appearance, she did look like someone from Dracodom. It was therefore even more heartbreaking when he saw what the man did to her."And who the hell are you? Why'd you even speak up to help a beggar?" The man grinned sarcastically. "Could she be your daughter? Hahah! That's the only logical explanation as to why you're helping her!"Severin's expression turned sour. He glared at the man while saying, "She's only begging for money because she's hungry. You don't have to give her the money if you don't want to. There's no need for you to kick her."The little girl got up and approached Severin. She said to him, "Thank you, sir. But please don't offend them. They're locals. We can't afford to mess with them.""Did you hear that, kid? Even a beggar knows not to offend me. Where'd you get the guts to talk to me like that, huh?" The man sai
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
