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
"That's… that's outrageous!" Logan was beginning to feel somewhat persuaded, but he pretended to be angry and said, "Everyone is going to condemn us for spurning Severin's kindness if word gets out!"Franko fanned the flames and said, "You need to be able to be ruthless if you want to show dominance. The palace needs to be strong. This is the best way to do it. We're going to do this secretly, so you can rest assured that no one will find out about it. It'll be fine as long as we're holding him and his family prisoner in a secret room."Leslie felt that it was a feasible plan. "That might sound like an evil plan, but it's undoubtedly a good plan. Dracodom will become stronger when there are more warrior emperors around!"Logan was already convinced by that, but rather than express his opinion right away, he merely said, "We'll cross the bridge when we get there. Let's take this one step at a time. Since you're so determined to avenge your son, then I guess we'll just follow the orig
"Would you look at that? Severin is chatting with the four war gods!""Goodness! Severin must've given them some pills. Wait a second! I think I can piece it together now! Didn't they have a breakthrough to level one warrior emperor within just a week? Severin must've given them pills! It couldn't have been that big of a coincidence that they managed to have a breakthrough!""Severin truly is powerful. He's very good at winning people's hearts. I think that's why Calum vouched for him and was able to ensure that he was appointed as the South County's governor. It's probably because Calum has the pills!""He might be able to refine pills, but I don't think anyone else will be willing to give them away just like that. He is a generous man!"The province governors and the other princes came up with all sorts of theories as they engaged in a riveting discussion with each other."You're amazing, honey. You're the most attractive man here!" Diane secretly gave Severin a thumbs up and sa
Nana smiled and said, "I have something to talk to you in private. Could you come for a walk with me, please?""Sure." Severin nodded with a smile. He then said to everyone at his table, "Please excuse me. You may continue chatting with Beryl and the others. Princess Nana wishes to speak with me in private, so I'll be going on a walk with her.""Go ahead!" Felicia grinned from ear to ear. She felt as though she had reached the peak of what life had to offer. She never dreamed that she would have the opportunity to come to such a place, much less have dinner with such important figures. During the dinner, she took many photos and posted them in the family group to show off. The Shanahans, including Maurice and Judtih, were happy to see her in a good mood and smiled heartily too. Needless to say, some were extremely envious of her good fortune.After Severin followed Nana away, no one noticed that Franko, Leslie, and Logan had also slipped away secretly.Felicia was overjoyed as she
At that moment, Beryl frowned and said, "As far as I know, she's never had a boyfriend before."When Felicia heard that, she seemed to say with certainty, "See! I was right! It's her first time, so you can't blame her for being shy. It's because Severin was love at first sight for her that she's being all secretive about it." Felicia then had a sudden realization: "If this comes true… then wouldn't we become the relatives of the king? Just thinking about it is giving me the shivers!""Don't you think you're reading too much into this, Mom? What if you guessed wrongly? You can't just delude yourself with these ridiculous fantasies!" Diane said unhappily.Diane only accepted Sheila as Severin's second wife because she already knew Sheila and had a good impression of Sheila. She was not too keen on accepting Nana yet because she did not know anything about Nana's character. It would be ridiculous to let Severin accept her!Furthermore, Nana was a princess who was bound to have been sp
"I'm really sorry, Mister Severin. You're a talented person, but you offended Leslie. Leslie saved my life when I was young, and I am obliged to return the favor when he asked me to help!" Logan walked over and said apologetically to Severin. He was feeling very guilty.Nana then said, "Dream on if you think we're going to just kill you and be done with it. What we're doing today is far worse—we'll turn you into a true cripple.""Do you know what that means?" Franko asked with a smile. "We're going to castrate you and destroy your attainment. That'll cripple you forever!"Severin glanced at the four of them and immediately saw through their attainment. He could not help but smirk and said, "With these four people? You'll be disappointed though.""Hehe, don't be so arrogant, boy. Do you have any idea what sort of attainment these four people possess? They're the strongest members of Shadraw, and their attainment is much higher than mine." Leslie looked at Severin with disdain and sa
"Nora, he could be a level three or level four warrior emperor. Watch out and don't kill him. He's an alchemist. We still have use for him."Franko giggled and gave a head up to Nora when he saw Nora attacking Severin. In his mind, he could foresee how badly injured Severin would be after Nora's attack. He was feeling excited and overwhelmed knowing he would have his revenge soon. However, the scene that Franko and Leslie had been waiting for did not appear.Severin balled up his fist, enveloped his spiritual energy around his fist, moved at the speed of lightning, and punched Nora far away. Nora got blasted away like a fallen kite. As she was falling, she felt a warm feeling coming up her throat. Immediately, she vomited blood that drew a perfect arch in the air.She crash-landed nearly a mile away and could not believe the result. It took her a great deal to pull herself up on her feet. Then again, she vomited another mouthful of blood which left her with a pale face."No! This is
"What's going on?" Sheila frowned as she looked in the direction where Severin and Princess Nana were headed."Are they fighting? It sounded like a thunder." Diane also frowned and was slightly worried.When Severin left, Logan had arranged for an old man to stand by with Diane and the rest. The old man came over with a smile and explained, "Maybe they are having a friendly match. We have a couple of strong fighters staying in the palace. Sometimes they would have a friendly match to improve their fighting skills. It's very common."Berly frowned and said, "But the sound shouldn't stop so suddenly if they are having a friendly match… it should last for quite a while, isn't it?"The old man smiled embarrassingly, "This is the palace. They are certainly having a friendly match. Or do you seriously think anyone dares to make trouble or have a real fight? That's too absurd, don't you think?"Sheila smiled. "You're right. Anyway, Miss Berly, where were we?"Berly did not ask further.
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
