Sofia's eyes lit up instantly when she heard what Severin said. "Oh, so you intend to take the spiritual herb without having to fight them!"Severin nodded. "Their attention is focused on the spirit beast, so they probably won't suspect that someone would swim across the river and take the herb. Once we get our hands on it, we'll continue to swim downstream for a certain distance before resurfacing from the water.""Sure thing," Sofia said with a smile. "Even though the spirit beast and those sect disciples are no match for you, it'd be even better if we could get the spiritual herb without having to engage in any conflict."Following that conversation, they immediately began making their way to the river and dived right in. They then channeled their spiritual energy to their feet so they could swim more efficiently. Before long, they were already within arm's reach of the herb. Severin then surfaced from the water, plucked the herb from the soil, and stored it in his spatial ring.
Before Sofia had left South Link City, Sheila had come up with an idea for her to dress sexier and seduce Severin. That might be the deciding factor for her to win Severin's heart. Sofia never had the boldness to dress sexier, but she managed to show off her figure through sheer luck.Severin said with a smile, "I can tell that you like me, Sofia. Oh, and since I've already seen your body, you might as well just let me open your Mind's Eye for you and be done with it.""I… I didn't say I like you." Sofia turned around. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she could not help herself from biting her lips nervously."Haha… you're just my type. It's as clear as day that you have a thing for me, but you still can't bring yourself to admit it." Severin laughed when he saw her shy expression."You jerk. You're such a meanie!" Sofia then turned around and summoned up her courage. "You said that on purpose even though you already know that I like you. Well, you're right! I do lik
The man applauding them was a fat man, and there were two other men—one short and the other tall—standing beside him. The latter two looked a little thin, almost as if they were a little malnourished."Mmmm! So, it's your first kiss, then! I'm guessing that means you're still a virgin too!" The fat man looked at Sofia with a lewd expression and said with an evil smile, "We got lucky then.""Hehe, not bad! I didn't think we'd be lucky enough to meet such a beautiful woman here! And she's a virgin too... heheh!" The tall man let out a perverted chuckle and looked at Sofia with a lustful gaze. After all, there were not a lot of women in their sect who were as beautiful as Sofia.Severin's expression soured slightly as he looked at the three of them. He then asked, "Which sect are you from? Why would a sect accept such degenerates like you?""Degenerates?" The fat man went blank for a moment. Finally, he said with a smirk, "Haha! Don't you recognize the Mometo Sect's uniform? The two o
The fat man then said, "Lonno is right. I've met women like her before. When I finally fought against her, it turned out that she was just a level two warrior king. I called her bluff when she said that she was a level eight warrior king. When I defeated her, I used her for several days before killing her.""You're no better than animals!" Sofia saw red when she heard that and immediately rushed toward the three of them."Hmph! You've got guts for charging at us, I'll give you that. Aren't you afraid of delivering yourself to us on a silver platter?" the fat man did not seem to fear her at all. He clenched his fist and released his spiritual energy.Unfortunately, he was several levels lower than Sofia and was unable to withstand her punch at all. She sent him flying with that single punch, and he crashed to the ground several hundreds of meters away. Blood was flowing profusely from his mouth."No! This can't be! How is this possible?! How can they be level four warrior emperors w
"Haha. Too bad, I was just passing by and I saw what you did."Suddenly, a man jumped off from a nearby tree. He had his arms folded and placed them in front of his chest while looking at Sofia with a meaningful look.Sofia looked over and balled up her hand when she discovered the man had the same uniform as the previous three people. "Oh, really? It's really too bad for you then. If you had pretended that you didn't see anything, you could have saved yourself. Since you decide to show yourself, you have just expedited your death sooner."As spiritual energy gushed out of her fist, she dashed forward and punched the man. Seeing how Sofia attacked without any warning, the man smiled and had his fist ready. A loud sound was created as both of their fists collided together."What the?"The moment the two fists met, Sofia looked shocked as she could feel the power the man possessed in his body was greater than hers. The man added more spiritual energy to his fist and blasted Sofia se
"What?"Even though Severin's attack was just a normal attack, his opponent felt threatened and realized his life could be in danger. When the attack was not far from him, he quickly transformed his spiritual energy into his palm and activated his technique.A giant hand created from spiritual energy appeared. The hand was a few times higher than his height. After that, he felt relieved because he believed his technique was strong enough to block Severin's attack since Severin's attack was just a normal attack. Then again, he knew the situation was not in his favor when he could hardly deal with a normal attack from Severin. His wish to kill Severin was never going to happen.Suddenly, the spiritual beam and the giant hand collided and smashed together. A loud exploding sound appeared after a glaring ray flashed. The giant hand started cracking and exploded."No!"The man widened his eyes shockingly. How could his technique fail to withhold a normal attack from Severin? He was ama
Severin walked right up to him and looked down on him just like a winner. "How can you ask me to let you go? If you didn't show yourself, I probably will consider that. But you did just the opposite and you even tried to kill us. I really can't think of any reason to let you go."The man was in despair after hearing that. No words could describe just how remorse he felt now. He regretted being a greedy person who pried on the items in his fellow members' spatial rings and also the spatial rings of the people who killed his fellow members.That was right. He would have never been in the situation if he was not greedy. His eyes flashed. Suddenly, he stepped and started to run to the side to get ready to fly away. Too bad, he was never Severin's match, especially when he suffered an injury. Severin moved quickly and appeared behind him all of a sudden. His hand was covered with spiritual energy and he gave the man's back a hard smack. The man dropped from the sky and was already dead be
Meanwhile, Severin walked right up to Sofia and held her hand. With a serious expression and tone, he said, "Sofia, you don't have to worry about anything. I'm a responsible man. I know you are a nice girl too.""I believe in you! I really wish I could tell Dad about this right now. He'll be so thrilled to know it!" Sodia said happily with her rosy cheek."Your father? Does he know me?" Severin frowned and did not understand why Sofia said that.Sofia replied, "Yes. I told him you saved me and you're a third-grade alchemist so he knows who you are and is impressed with how talented you are. He's also the one who encouraged me to chase after you when I told him I like you but I'm too shy to go find you."Severin responded with laughter. "This is a good thing. I was afraid your father would not approve us to be together because I'm not a member of your sect."Nonetheless, Sofia thought there was zero chance of that happening. She rolled her eyes and said, "You're so talented, handso
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
