Leon nodded with approval and patted the guy's shoulder. "Good job. Then we shall wait for them to come out. You two have done well this time. Go back and claim your reward from the butler. Tell him I'm giving 300,000 dollars to each of you."Their eyes lit up. They cupped their hands. "Thank you, mayor."Leon smiled. "You two can leave now. I'm giving you the rest of the day off. I don't need you here anymore.""Yes, sir!" The two men left happily to go back to claim their money."What do you think of my men, Evelyn? They are very efficient, aren't they? I told them to search around the city. If the one who killed your father is still in the city, my men would find him very quickly."Leon took out his cigar and started smoking. His tone sounded very pleased. Evelyn's tone was very calm but her eyes betrayed her real emotion. "Let them enjoy. It might be the last time they ever shop."Leon sneered coldly. "They have no idea that someone was stalking them so they are surely going
Sheila smiled. "That's unlikely. We don't know them and I don't think we see them anywhere before. Are you thinking too much?"After a pause, she said, "Or you have killed too many people recently that you think those people are after you when a group of people are walking towards you?"Soon, those people stopped when they were in front of Severin. By then, Sheila finally realized something was not wrong. She frowned. "It seems like they are really coming after us."Severin looked at them and asked, "Gentlemen, I don't remember ever stepping on your toes. What do you want with me?"At that moment, Evelyn stepped out and glared at Severin angrily. "You probably don't remember it but I'll remember it for the rest of my life. You're the one who killed my father and I'm seeking revenge!"The Great Elder stepped in front too. "Hey, kid. I'm sorry but Evelyn is our mayor's lover. So we have to kill you today to revenge her father's death. I'm telling you this so you know the reason why
The disdainful attitude Severin showed made everyone else feel uncomfortable and unhappy. They were all the strongest from the Nine Dragon City Mansion. Yet, Severin continued to disregard them even after he knew who they were."Hey, kid! You want to make us regret it later. This is the first time I heard someone talk to me like that!"A level seven old warrior king balled up his hand with spiritual energy flowing around the fist. "I'm going to show you who's the one regretting later! I'm Kayden, the Fourth Elder of Nine Dragon City Mansion, and you're going to fight me first!""Mister Kayden, don't kill him so quickly. Beat him until he can't move and destroy his attainment. I want to lock him up in jail, torture him every day, and let him live in misery for the rest of his life. I don't want him to die so easily!" Evelyn said evilly.Kayden let out a devil smile, "Don't worry, Miss Evelyn. That's not going to be a problem."Once he finished talking, he swung his hand to unleash
Kayden believed Severin had strong combat power. Maybe this attack was unable to kill Severin, it could still hurt him so badly that he could not fight anymore.Severin reacted with a sneer. After that, he inserted his spiritual energy into his sword and swung the sword. As a result, it created an aura blade. The aura blade interweaved together with the spiritual energy and headed toward Kayden."It's just an aura blade and not even a technique. Do you really think that's going to defeat my technique? Are you really so confident with yourself?"Kayden took a good examine at Severin's attack and sneered. At that point, Severin's attack was nothing to him."If you never try, you never know."Severin remained calm after unleashing his attack. If he was not in the mood to play around, his opponent should be dead by now.The two attacks collided with each other. Unexpectedly, the spiritual eagle was slayed in half by the aura blade. After that, the aura blade continued to head toward
"Haha! You should have done that together. That's going to save a lot of trouble!"Severin continued to stay calm despite facing being attacked by five strong fighters next.Leon saw Evelyn was looking nervous so he went over and held her hand. "Evelyn, don't worry. This guy is dead for sure!"Evelyn smiled bitterly. "Yes. Unless he's a level nine warrior king. If he's just a level eight warrior king, he's not going to survive being attacked by three level eight warrior kings and two level seven warrior kings."Leon sneered. "Level nine warrior king. That's not something anyone can achieve so easily. There are a lot of level seven and level eight warrior kings in this world but just a handful of level nine warrior kings. I heard even the Four Great War Heroes had just become warrior emperors not too long ago. But there's something weird. Four of them actually breakthrough at almost the same time. Many people wondered if they had gone to a place where they met an opportunity that le
"Haha. Mister Leon, I told you you're going to regret this. What do you think? Are you regretting now?"After all the elders were killed, Severin landed in front of Leon and Evelyn. Leon gulped and sweat rolled down his forehead."Mister Severin, I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'll never do it again!" His legs went soft on him. He kneeled down and begged for mercy.Evelyn felt hopeless when she saw that. She gave Leon a cold glare and sneered. "A mayor is actually kneeling down and asking mercy from his enemy. What a loser! Haha!"After that, she looked at Severin and sneered, "Kid, I admit I lost to you!"Without any delay, she smacked her forehead to commit suicide. Severin looked at her body and sighed. "You're a good daughter but you have to understand what the Nightsky Gang did was wrong. That's why I have to kill your father.""Mister Severin, I know what I did was wrong. Please forgive me. I will never do it again. This woman bedazzled me with her beauty and brainwashed me to
"Hehe! These spatial rings belong to the strong fighters from the Nine Dragon City Mansion. I'm sure they are going to have plenty of spiritual herbs. It'll be good if there are attainment techniques in the rings too. Then we can bring them back and give them to the halls."Sheila came running over looking very excited. She had many spatial rings in her hands.Severin did not know how to react when he saw Sheila collecting the loot happily. "Don't worry. They are also asking their members to search for many spiritual herbs for me to make into alchemical pills. I believe Dracodeus Temple would be the strongest organization in Dracodom. Although we can't compare ourselves to those big sects, no one can bully us in this mundane world."As they chatted, they arrived at a restaurant. Sheila rubbed her stomach and smiled embarrassedly. "Severin, I'm a little hungry. Why don't we have lunch before heading back?"Severin nodded. "Sure. Then let's go in.""Big news! Big news!"Meanwhile,
Macy sat back in the chair but she looked like she had lost her soul. Her eyes were looking dull.Edna asked, "Then what should we do? Does that mean we can't show off and be bossy to the others anymore?"Kelsie was Leon's favorite wife. She smacked the table angrily. "No! I don't care if Leon is dead or not. I can't let this go easily. Do you know who killed him? What did the province governor say about this? I mean a guy easily killed the mayor. Surely, the province governor has to do something about this!"After some thinking, Priya finally voiced out, "Is the killer from Nine Draco Province Mansion?"Finally, the plump bodyguard had the chance to speak. "Ma'am. We had gotten some further information from other bodyguards. They just came back not long ago to collect their rewards. They told us Leon was not alone. He was with a beautiful woman, Evelyn. She's the daughter of David Letterman, the gang leader of Nightsky Gang."For the next couple of minutes, Leon's wives patiently
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
