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,
"Mister Severin also wanted you people to slap yourselves ten times and swear not to cause trouble to him or his family again. You all heard that, right?" When Larry saw everyone kneeling, he stole a glance at Severin and felt subdued by Severin's imperceptible aura too.That was the moment he came to realize that the supreme leader of the Dracodeus Temple had an icy side to him too.Victor had never felt that humiliated before, but since Draco Hall's people were lending a hand to Severin, he could only swallow his pride and do as he was told. "We apologize for what we did and we promise not to trouble you or your family again!" they vowed and slapped themselves ten times."Now get the hell off my property and mind your own business next time. Today was a lesson, and if you ever dare to come to my place and disrespect my parents, I can assure you that your entire family will be wiped off from Brookbourn!" Severin finally waved his hand, and remarked impatiently, almost as if the sig
"Consider it done!" Blade immediately stationed ten men outside the villa.Larry, along with Blade, drove off with Severin and the rest of their men.After returning to the car, Larry said, "Supreme Leader, why don't I send more people to help you stand guard? Does that sound like a good idea to you? I'm worried that some other people will start troubling you again. Your family can't resist them if the other people aren't around!"Severin gave it some thought and shook his head. "Forget it, I think it's best that I avoid having your men around all the time. And also, please don't call me 'Supreme Leader'. Mister Severin or boss will do!""Understood! I won't call you that anymore. If no one else is around, I'll just call you 'boss'!" Larry smiled awkwardly."Let's cut to the chase. Your mother isn't sick, right? Tell me what's going on," Severin then said."That's exactly the kind of response we expected from our supre-I mean, our boss! Nothing gets past you!" Larry remarked. "We
"Hey, Boss! Do you think Larry and his group are brave enough to accept our invitation?" asked a bald man sitting in front of a bearded man in the mountain villa.The bearded man was Monte, leader of the Cedar Gang! Next to them stood the one-eyed man from the previous night with several other people, and all of them were considered the most people of the Cedar Gang.Monte smiled coldly. "Haha! I sent invitations to a lot of wealthy businessmen, and if the Draco Hall's people are afraid to come, then you can bet that the news will spread like wildfire. When that happens, they'll be laughed at for sure! Of course, they'll be laughed at all the same if they brought a whole group of people. They'll lose their reputation just as well if word gets out that they're afraid of having a meal with us!"Then, Monte continued, "But if they come with only a few people, then today will mark the death of Larry Dune! Haha!"Upon hearing that, One-Eye frowned. "But sir, both Larry and Blade are ver
"Let's go!"Those who were higher in the hierarchy walked along the path toward the villa gates. Since the villa was halfway up the mountain and there is only one road leading to it, one could easily see how many people Larry brought just by standing at the gates.If Larry brought some men for an ambush, their only option was to do so in the woods at the foot of the mountain. In the event a fight broke out, however, it would probably be too late for them to rush up even if they found out about it. The cars parked at the open space for Larry, Blade, and the others to get off with Severin."Haha, and here I was worrying that you'd be afraid to come, my old friend! I'm glad you could make it to Kevin's birthday party! Having you here will make our villa all the merrier!" Monte was ecstatic to see Larry and Blade bringing such a small number of people there.Though he had made extensive preparations to kill Larry, he estimated that there was a less than ten percent possibility that Lar
Larry burst out laughing when he heard that. "Hahaha, that's a good one, Monte! Why would I need to bring so many people just to have a meal? Do you think I'm a coward?""Haha, not at all! Why would I ever think that, my friend? Hasn't Draco Hall made its mark by slaughtering many people? I am told that your strength has reached the peak of a warrior and is almost approaching that of a grandmaster!" Monte had a genuine smile on his face while making that remark.Sure enough, many tables had been set up in a courtyard outside, with a few more inside a hall. Many wealthy businessmen began to arrive, and they all received the protection of the Cedar Gang. The businessmen's endeavors were guaranteed to be smooth sailing, and all they had to do was provide some monthly benefits to the Cedar Gang!After seeing the arrival of Larry and his men, several dozen people stood up and greeted them with a smile. It was common knowledge that the relationship between Monte and Larry was very tense,
However, if Monte could use the poisoned wine that he had prepared to eliminate the two leaders from the picture, then the remaining people would be a piece of cake for them.One-Eye was not an idiot, and he immediately understood what Monte meant. He cupped his hands and bowed to Blade in a fake show of sincerity, "My apologies. You're our guests today, and our esteemed leader is right. Whatever happened in the past should be left in the past. We ought to do our very best to play host to our valued guests!""Hmph!" Blade sat back down when he saw One-Eye sitting back down too.Monte then looked at Severin again, and then said to Larry, "My friend, who is this young man here? You seem to have a good relationship with him!"Larry then smiled and made an introduction. "This here is Mister Severin Feuillet, a miracle doctor. I was not feeling too well earlier, but he treated my condition so my body could recover. Since he was a guest at my place and your men invited us over for this c
"Come on, fellas! Keep drinking!"Monte, Kevin, and the others poured more wine for Larry's group after they feasted on some of the food. They had already finished one bottle of wine, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary after they drank it. Larry and Blade could finally breathe a sigh of relief, for it seemed that they had been overthinking the situation and were under the false assumption that the Cedar Gang wanted to poison them.Even though that was the case, they did not dare to be too careless in the event that the Cedar Gang intended to get them drunk before dealing with them. Before long, Monte took out another bottle of wine and poured it for Larry, Blade, and Severin.After pouring the wine for the three of them, they raised their glasses again to toasted Larry and Blade! The two men had let their guard down and picked up their respective wine glasses to drink the wine. Monte did not mind that Severin had not touched his wine glass yet, since whether he drank or not did
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
