"Son, you're still too young," Leslie replied.Franko frowned vehemently and could not understand his father. "Too young? What do you mean by that?"Leslie looked around and instructed the others, "Guard the door. I want to talk privately with Franko.""Yes, sir!"The others were curious about what Leslie wanted to tell Franko but knew they were not in the place to hear it."Dad, they're gone now. What do you want to tell me?"Franko smiled bitterly. Based on how cautious his father was, he knew his father would tell him a secret. Otherwise, he would not have asked the others to leave them alone.Leslie nodded. "You have to promise me that you can't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you. This is just for you to know."Franko nodded in understanding.Leslie continued, "Dracodom is far more powerful than you think. The country only shows you what they want you to know, just like those secluded sects. They've already secluded themselves from this mundane world, living in their o
"What?! The weakest among them is a level two warrior emperor?"Franko's eyes lit up. He looked spirited because he felt hopeful again. After his father's defeat, he thought no one else was stronger than Severin, and he could never have his revenge.The only thing he hated was he had to sacrifice himself to please a woman he did not like."The secret organization is called Shadraw. They are the protectors of Dracodom. No one knows who they are other than the King. They protect the safety of the country. Sometimes, they'll be assigned to missions like assassinating foreigners that threaten the safety of our country, but that's very rare," Leslie explained."Shadraw…. I had no idea there was a secret organization protecting the country!"Franko nodded and continued, "Dad, let's say that Severin is most likely a level four warrior emperor. Are any of the Shadraw members stronger than him? If they're just a bunch of warrior emperors below level three, they can't do anything to Severin
For the next two days, Severin and the others continued to bring Sofia out on sightseeing tours. On the third day, Sofia finally bid goodbye to them.When she almost reached Stormy Moon Sect, she remembered to look at the alchemical pill Severin gave her."I wonder what alchemical pill Severin gave me. I can confirm it's a second-grade, but I don't know its rank. Too bad. It's not going to have any great effect on me. What a waste."Sofia took out the porcelain bottle and smiled sweetly. "Anyway, it's the thought that counts. At least, I know he kept a place for me in his heart."In the meantime, she opened the porcelain bottle to take a look.Suddenly, her eyes widened, and her mouth remained wide open. She could not believe what she saw; it was too surreal.It was a third-grade low-rank alchemical pill."A third-grade low-rank alchemical pill! If I'm correct, the effect of this alchemical pill is to boost attainment. Is Severin a third-grade low-rank alchemist now?"She looke
Once Sofia had everything thought out, she sped up. When she arrived, it was the next morning. The first thing she did was to go look for Meldrick.It was definitely a surprise for Meldrick to see the woman he had a crush on visiting him. He smiled and walked over."Sofia, you're back. Where did you go? Were you out completing your mission?"However, Sofia looked fierce and sullen. She glared at Meldrick and questioned him, "Meldrick, what the hell is wrong with you? Did you cause trouble for Severin because he humiliated you? Have you forgotten what I told you? He's my savior, so we can't help the Jolls."Meldrick frowned. "When did I do that? Sofia, you can't just accuse me without any evidence."Even though Meldrick refused to admit it, he felt nervous. 'Did Sofia find out that I went to find Severin and got beaten up?' he thought.Sofia snorted and questioned, "No one else knows about this other than us. If you didn't tell Ronnie, why would he want to kill Severin?"It was a
"What?"Meldrick gasped. His mouth remained open, looking aghast.It took him a while to finally gather his thoughts. He exclaimed, "Sofia! Are you kidding me? Do you just say Severin killed Ronnie? That's impossible!"Sofia started to wonder if she had misunderstood Meldrick. Perhaps Meldrick did not tell Ronnie that Severin had killed Brandon. Meldrick did not look like he knew Ronnie had tried to Kill Severin.She scoffed, "Why is it impossible? Ronnie tried to kill Severin because Severin killed his son. Severin was the one who told me. He won't lie to me about that. Severin is stronger than Ronnie. In the end, Ronnie was the one who got killed instead.""Oh! Isn't Severin almost the same age as us? How did he improve so fast? Ronnie is a level seven warrior emperor! With that said, Severin's attainment is higher than a level seven warrior emperor."Meldrick was shocked. Previously, he convinced himself that Ronnie must have gotten killed by Ronnie's enemies on the way to kil
Draven came over. "Meldrick, what's with that look?"Draven had been in the Stormy Moon Sect for quite some time. Due to his gifted talent, he had trained to become a level nine warrior king. An elder had noticed Draven's talent and considered recruiting him as his inner disciple.At first, that was what Draven wanted to tell Meldrick because the elder had gone to inform the sect leader. Then, he realized Meldrick was not in a good mood. Meldrick looked at Draven and exclaimed, "F*ck! I just found out Severin is super strong. I don't think we could ever kill him."Draven was surprised. "No way! How can he be super strong? Isn't he just a level four or five warrior emperor?"Meldrick answered, "He killed Ronnie. That means he's at least a level seven or even a level eight warrior emperor."Draven gasped in shock. "What? Are you saying he killed Ronnie, and that's why Ronnie hasn't returned?"Meldrick nodded. "Yes. Sofia returned to the sect. She said she visited Severin because
Meldrick's mood worsened. He asked hastily, "Draven, is there anything else you want to tell me? If not, I'm going to head to the Mission Department."Draven came to look for Meldrick to brag about his promotion to an inner disciple of an elder. Then, he decided not to since Meldrick was not in a good mood.Draven was afraid that telling Meldrick would only make him feel even worse. Besides, it was not official yet.After making a decision, he smiled. "Nothing. I was just passing by, so I thought of visiting you.""Okay. I'm leaving."Meldrick nodded and flew into the sky to the Mission Department.Shortly, he arrived and saw Lindy. "Hey, Lindy, are you helping out in the Mission Department?"Lindy clasped her hands respectfully when she saw it was Meldrick."Hi, Meldrick. My attainment is too low, so there aren't many missions suitable for me, so I thought of helping out here. I can earn some merit points, at least. I know, I can't compare myself to you or the others with high
Meldrick left after he reminded Lindy.Meanwhile, Sofia went to look for her father."My darling, where did you go? Why are you smiling so happily? Did something good happen to you?" Birk asked when he saw Sofia smiling happily.Sofia poured herself a glass of water, took a sip, and sat down."Hehe! Of course, I'm happy. I'm going to have a breakthrough and become a level four warrior emperor soon.Birk was stunned. He could not believe what he heard."How's that possible? Are you joking? It's only been a few days since your last breakthrough. How could you be having another breakthrough so soon?"He thought hard about it, and suddenly, it struck him. "Did you get a powerful treasure? That's the only explanation. Breakthrough doesn't come easily, especially in the warrior emperor stage."Sofia flipped her hand and took out a small porcelain bottle. She opened the bottle and used telekinesis to have the alchemical pill fly out from the bottle."Look at this."Sofia smiled grat
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
