Franko then said, "Yeah. He won't be able to intimidate other people once he's dead."Serge gritted his teeth when he knew that none of his men were able to take Severin on. He waved his hand and led them away dejectedly. "You win this time! Let's go, fellas!"Severin smiled indifferently and left with Diane and others. "Come on, everyone, let's continue to enjoy our day."Serge his men had walked some distance away when Murak said angrily, "Damn it! Our luck is pretty crap today. I didn't think a county governor would have such attainment. Why haven't any of us heard about him before? I never expected a country governor to have a level nine warrior king attainment.""I won't just sit by and let him get away with humiliating me. I'll tell my dad to send some more strong men so he'll be dealt with properly," Serge huffed angrily after what he had to go through."You give up on wanting to get revenge. You'll only be humiliating your entire family because none of your men will be abl
Severin, Diane, and the others were not affected by that brief episode. They spent the day enjoying the sights at Oolong City and returned to their lodging when the sky darkened. By the time they were back, Zeke had already instructed several of his men to prepare a feast for them."Haha, come right over, Severin! We're going to have a wonderful feast tonight," Zeke beckoned as soon as he saw Severin's return."Haha, don't mind if I do then!" Severin laughed. He then walked to the table and sat down."Guess we're in for a treat then, huh?" Megan said with a smile."I invited one of Oolong City's famous chefs to prepare our food. The wine that we'll be having is produced only in Oolong City. It tastes amazing, and I drink plenty of it whenever I'm here," Zeke said with a smile.Everyone enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.The next day, Severin went shopping with Diane and Megan since they had another free day too. Time passed by quickly, and soon the day came for them to attend the birthd
Severin had a rather contrived expression when he recalled Horace mentioning numerous times that he had a beautiful granddaughter whom he wished he could marry off to Severin. Severin started to wonder if Horace specifically arranged for Wendy to become her bodyguard for that reason.Horace immediately smiled and said, "Yes! I just didn't tell you! Haha! She has plenty to gain from being around you. She told me that she was already a level nine warrior king, and that it wouldn't take long before she had a breakthrough to warrior emperor if she ate one of your pills! Haha!"Lillie came over with a grin and said to Severin, "Before we set off from South Link City, Wendy told her grandpa to save two spots so we could attend the banquet too. After all, each invitation comes with a quota of five people."Severin was speechless. He could only smile wryly and say, "Guess I'm the only one kept in the dark then. You two planned this from the very beginning!""It's not just you," Sheila said
"You know Steward?" Both Horace and Zeke could not help but feel a little surprised when they heard that. It went without saying that the three commanders were much higher in status than any of them. It was understandably surprising to them that Severin would be acquainted with such a person.Severin then answered with an odd expression, "I've met them before!"Sheila snickered from behind. She knew Severin only said that as a show of courtesy to Steward. There was no doubt that Steward and Sami would be extremely humiliated if Severin told the whole truth about defeating Steward and slapping Sami in the face.Steward was not too happy to see Severin and the others. Severin was the last person he wanted to meet, which was understandable given the humiliation that they suffered at his hands. He had come to terms with it after some time because he realized that his daughter had grown less arrogant. He was happy with how things turned out because she had matured as a person and learned
Steward was worried that Severin might bring up what happened in the past, so he immediately replied, "Oh, of course! She's more obedient now, and she's been learning to do laundry recently."Severin nodded in satisfaction and went in with the others. He was in no rush to give his gifts, so he told Steward, Horace and the others to go ahead first. When it was his turn, he took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to the old man who was in charge of recording who gave what.The old man glanced at Severin, looked at Severin's invitation, and asked a little unhappily, "What is that shabby little thing? Our commander, Steward, and our war god, Horace, have both given some spiritual herbs. You, on the other hand, gave only a small little bottle."Severin smiled and said to the other party, "Take a look at the contents before you call my gift shabby."The old man snickered coldly and opened the porcelain bottle to look inside. Spiritual herbs were just about the best gift that Seve
"That's insane! How can he afford to give away so many pills? These are all second-grade high-rank pills too!"Franko and Leslie were there early because they wanted to see how bad Severin's gift was. If they could not win against Severin, then they could at least make a couple of sarcastic remarks to embarrass him. Alas, they were both stunned after the announcement of Severin's gift.Nana, who was next to Franko, seemed astonished too. She gulped after some time and could not help but say, "That can't be possible. How is he so generous in offering something so valuable? My brother got lucky this time! It probably won't be long before another powerful individual is added to the palace."Franko clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and muttered, "He must've done it on purpose to disrupt the structure of your royal family."Peter, the Nine Dragon Province's governor, could only smile bitterly after hearing the announcement. He had been bullied by Severin once before. He thought to
On the other hand, Franko and Leslie were very upset when they saw Philip being so cordial toward Severin.Franko whispered to his father, "I didn't know he was an alchemist! He seems to be pretty good at it too."Leslie nodded. "There's no denying that he's a talented man, but it's such a shame that he offended us. He could've achieved many more great things in the future."Franko sneered. "He might look happy now, but I doubt he can keep his chin up if he knows what's coming for him."The fact that Severin was a second-grade high-rank alchemist sent waves throughout the palace."His Majesty has arrived!" A voice announced. Soon enough, everyone saw the king walk in with his concubines and several of his strongest men."Tsk, tsk, tsk. He probably has about thirty women, from the looks of it?" Severin's expression became a little stiff when he saw the number of women with the king."Can he even handle all of them?" Megan muttered when she saw it would take a while for the king t
The atmosphere became much livelier after Logan arrived with all his women. Some of the province governors arrived later as well, but none of them could produce a gift that could rival that of Severin's.Logan approached Franko and Leslie. He then winked at them before saying, "Come with me."Leslie exchanged glances with his son. Though they were a little puzzled, they did as they were requested and followed Logan away.When they arrived at a small pavilion in the distance, Logan asked the two of them, "Why didn't you tell me that Severin is a second-grade high-rank alchemist?"Leslie was speechless for a moment, but he soon explained to Logan, "All I know is that he has very strong attainment. I didn't expect that he'd be proficient in alchemy, or that he is a second-grade high-rank alchemist!"Logan's frown made Franko realize that something was amiss. His brows furrowed and he asked, "Is this going to make you change your mind, Your Majesty?"Logan gave it some thought before
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
