"Why should I apologize when I don't even know who you are? You're the one who should be kneeling and begging for mercy!" Severin thought about that name for a moment and eventually said to the other party."You've never heard of Franko before? How ignorant can you be?" Fent, whom Severin injured previously, looked angrily at the latter. He then said in a rough voice, "He's the son of Leslie, a commander. You should know who he is by now, right?""A commander's son?" Megan was surprised at first, but then her expression soured immediately after hearing that.Her reaction boosted Franko's confidence, but everyone else did not seem to react the same way. No one seemed particularly bothered with the new information."Aren't you afraid of me after knowing that I'm a commander's son?" Franko was puzzled.Sofia could not stand Franko's arrogance any longer and shot Franko a sarcastic look as she said, "You're nothing without your father. Bullies like you need to be killed, or permanentl
Severin, in particular, stood there almost expressionlessly, as if he had already expected such an outcome."Aren't you afraid of me after exposing my level?" The old man looked at Severin with astonishment. Severin's reaction was something he never would have expected to see."He might look calm, but deep down, he's probably panicking," Franko said in disdain. He believed that it was unlikely for Severin not to be afraid of a level nine warrior king. In his opinion, Severin was probably pretending to be calm or perhaps formulating some sort of an escape plan.The next second, they were all left shocked when Severin mobilized his thoughts and produced a protective shield of spiritual energy on his body."You're acting as if I don't know how to create a spiritual energy shield as well. Well, here you go! What's there to be afraid of?! It's nothing new!" Severin condensed his spiritual energy shield and smiled at the old man."That's a surprise!" the old man said with a chuckle. "Yo
Becoming a level nine warrior king was an achievement that one would be proud of. On that note, it would undoubtedly be agonizing to have such an achievement destroyed by someone else.Sure enough, a dull sound echoed and the old man spat out mouthfuls of blood. He looked at his abdomen in disbelief. A severe pain hit him, and the whites of his eyes were only shown as he lost consciousness.Such a simple act had rendered a level nine warrior king completely useless. Before the old man fainted, he could only look at Severin in disbelief."Rio!" Franko was frightened by what happened. He brought the four strong men with him to protect the old man, and the strongest among them was Rio — a level nine warrior king.Severin smiled faintly. He would never have dared to let the old man use any sort of technique. The restaurant belonged to them, after all, and it would have been destroyed if his technique was unleashed. For that reason, Severin pushed the opponent back with lightning speed
The rest of Franko's men were feeling anguished. Despite that, they did not dare to make a move. They understood very well that if a level nine warrior king couldn't defeat Severin then they surely did not have a chance to even lay a finger on him."Mister Franko!"Everyone was taken aback. Never in their wildest dreams would they expect to witness a level nine warrior king — one who was on the same level of attainment as the Four Great War Gods not too long ago — have his attainment abolished so easily. Not to mention, their master — the son of a commander — would be castrated even after he had told Severin his identity."F*ck! Damn you! Are you crazy? Ah! It hurts so badly!" Franko cussed.The pain was insufferable and became unconscious after he uttered his last curse word."Mister Franko!" Fent and the other two rushed over and shouted out loud.Their knees buckled from fear. They were worried that the commander would go ballistic for failing to protect Franko.Of course, th
Sofia rolled her eyes at Severin. "Alright. I know I need to stay out of this. You're here and I shouldn't worry about anything. Your attainment is so much higher than mine, that much I know."At that moment, Severin felt somewhat uncomfortable knowing Sofia was unhappy with him because of his remarks. It was just a friendly remark, so he did not expect her to react like that.Then again, he was right to warn Sofia. Sofia was an elite disciple of a secluded sect. As the name suggested, the secluded sect hardly involved themselves in the mundane world because they were supposed to stay secluded. If a member got into trouble in the mundane world, it would affect the reputation of the secluded sect.Although not many people could become warrior emperors in the mundane world, a lot of bodies were able to strive and continue to develop and expand well, because those bodies received support from unknown benefactors.For example, the Stormy Moon Sect was actually supporting Skystream City
Sheila chuckled.After some thought, Megan asked, "Severin, can my restaurant continue to operate today?"Severin was stunned because he had not considered this question before. He answered, "Why not? You shouldn't let a jerk*ss stop you from doing business. Besides, they're just a bunch of losers. Nothing to be afraid of."That gave Megan a boost of confidence. She told Mandy, "Go and open the restaurant. We shouldn't close the business for the day because of one guy. I don't care how superior or noble he is, he is nothing but a piece of trash to me.""Wow. Is that how you should treat the commander's son?" Severin could not help himself and teased Megan.That made Megan feel embarrassed. "Geez, I was just joking. To you, he's a piece of trash. In all honesty, I can't really treat him how I want to now, can I?Not when you're around, mister I will destroy him!"Everyone cracked up because of what Megan said.Megan quickly told Mandy to open the door and to resume business. Then
The middle-aged woman voiced out her opinions, "Lester, I know what're you worrying about. It's right that you're worrying because he did abolish Rio's attainment."She continued after a pause, "But you don't have to underestimate yourself just because you think your opponent is very strong. No matter how talented or gifted he is, I presume he's just capable of reaching a level one warrior emperor at this stage. Mister Leslie is a level two warrior emperor. There's a huge gap between each level. So there's nothing we need to worry about."Fent nodded, "And we can request Mister Leslie to bring more people over as backup. There won't be a problem winning. Mister Franko is his son. He won't watch his son get bullied and do nothing about it. If he does, he'll be the laughing stock for centuries to come.""F*ck! The bleeding stopped and I don't feel the pain anymore. I need to go get myself checked in the hospital!"Franko looked at the restaurant and quickly asked his bodyguards to se
Franko nodded and ended the call."Sevenrin, you were so awesome just now! That level nine warrior king didn't even have the chance to use his technique and you abolished his attainment. You were so fast that I couldn't keep up. You're really so f*cking awesome! Cheers!"Megan recalled what happened and exclaimed happily. "Damn, it really feels so good to be on the stronger side. I just witnessed my brother-in-law castrate the commander's son with a kick. People are going to admire you so much if they know about this."Severin smiled faintly, "Don't forget that his father is a commander. Best not to spread the news around. Sometimes, it's better to keep things at bay.""Ok! I'll remember that," Megan giggled.Severin smiled bitterly, drank the red wine, and explained it to Megan. "I wanted to end the fight as quickly as possible. I didn't want my opponent to use his technique because I didn't want the fight to destroy your restaurant. So you better appreciate me for doing that."
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
