"Yes. That's what I heard and that is why everyone is very careful when they come in here. Rumor has it. They know a special technique which could control people's minds and force them to work for them," Meena elaborated more.After a while, Sofia walked over to Severin. She frowned and said, "Hey, do you think the Devil Gang has captured Billie and Lulu? It has been two years since they entered the forest and they'd never gone back before. At least they'd still be alive if they were held hostage."Severin nodded. "Yes, I'm thinking the same thing too. Either they are dead or the Devil Gang has captured them."Then he chuckled and said, "Haha. Now I'm really looking forward to meeting the Devil Gang. Maybe we can even help Tara and Lina to gather some information about their parents.""I see. So the reason you are here is to search for people. You're not really here on a treasure hunt," Meena said.Severin smiled. "We also take this opportunity to gather some spiritual herbs. Look
The both of them continued their journey. Just like before, Severin used his telekinesis to set up a perimeter."Huh? A third-grade high-rank spiritual herb! Haha!"Several minutes later, he sensed a third-grade high-rank spiritual herb within his perimeter. He quickly grabbed Sofia's hand and flew over too as he was afraid someone else might harvest it before him. Soon, they found the spiritual herbs. Severin took a look and was delighted to realize it was a spiritual herb that was used commonly in most of the recipes. He squatted down and harvested it.Meanwhile, Sofia stood guard to monitor if there was any incoming danger. "We're lucky. Normally there would be an enchanted beast guarding this high-grade spiritual herb.""Give it to me! I was the one who discovered it first!"Suddenly, someone shouted. At the same time, a spiritual energy beam came flying at them from the heavy fog not far from them. Severin looked over and saw there was someone in a white dress closing in on t
"Severin. She's from the Ancient Cloud Sect. It's a third-tier sect and much stronger than Stormy Moon Sect," Sofia reminded.She noticed the token on Stephanie's waist and walked over to Severin. That had Severin a little worried. When the sect was classified as third-tier, it meant there was at least a saint in the sect. At this point, Severin did not know what level the saint was. He could be level three and above which meant Severin was not the saint's match.Severin smiled. "I'm the one who found this spiritual first and I'm the first one who harvest it. How could you say it's yours? Don't you think you're being a little too unreasonable?"Although Stephanie never liked Severin, she knew how powerful Severin was. She pouted and said, "I discovered this spiritual herb with my telekinesis but I got here too late. Both of you were just a few seconds faster than me. Argh! I'm so angry!"At this point, there was no evidence to prove who was the first who discover the spiritual herb
One of the guys glared murderously at Severin.Another woman who was busy fighting the spirit beast immediately flew back and glanced at Severin. "You're very arrogant, aren't you, kid? Do you genuinely think we'll just give this valuable spiritual herb based solely on what you said?"Severin ignored them and disappeared in a flash, leaving an afterimage in the place where he stood. The next second, he appeared in front of the spirit beast and struck a firm punch, sending the spirit beast flying. Several huge trees were knocked down in quick succession. The spirit beast then fell to the ground and bled profusely."Such… incredible strength!" The four people were utterly shocked. They had spent so much time fighting against the spirit beast but were unable to secure victory. Severin, however, killed the beast instantly. The difference between their strength was simply too obvious."We should leave. We might have just bumped into a warrior emperor, and by the looks of it, a strong on
Severin did not wish to be a busybody at first because he had no obligation to save strangers. However, Sofia's kindness led him to nod at her, "If you put it that way, then I'll help them."Sofia smiled subtly. "Thank you. These perverts are the most despicable."However, the following conversation made Severin's heart skip a beat. "Come clean with us. How many people are there in Capra Hall? And where is Capra Hall hiding right now? You'll die a miserable death if you don't tell us anything."Then, the man said, "But if you tell us what we want to know about Capra Hall, then we'll spare your life and act as if we've never run into you.""Capra Hall" Severin and Sofia exchanged an elated glance at each other when they were told that those two young girls were from Capra Hall.Sofia initially wanted to rush out and save the girls, but to her surprise, Severin held her back.Sofia glanced at Severin in confusion. Severin then said softly, "Let's see if either of them will betray t
Clara shook her head after looking at Severin and Sofia. "I don't think they're from Capra Hall. We don't have a lot of members currently. He's handsome, and she's very beautiful too, so I would've remembered them if they came."The short girl nodded after some thought and asked skeptically, "Why would they want to save us, then?""Maybe they're doing it out of the kindness of their heart. We don't know what their attainment is though, so it'll be pretty depressing if they lose to these guys." Clara smiled bitterly. Nevertheless, she still felt a glimmer of hope in their heart when Severin and Sofia appeared out of nowhere and rescued them."Who are you? Do you want to get yourselves killed? We're warrior kings, so beat it before we go rough on you!" one of the four men warned.Another said, "The Jorgens sent us here along with a few other groups. It'd be pretty stupid of you to offend us. Think twice before you do anything!"Severin could not be bothered to entertain their nonsen
The two girls had their guard up after hearing what Severin said.Clara turned to Severin and asked, "Why did you save us?"Severin's mind went black for a moment. It was not yet time for him to reveal his identity, so he just smiled and said, "Hehe. For the most part, it's because I have a connection to your hall master. I'm here to search for him."The other girl said to Clara, "They don't look like bad people, Clara. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have saved us if they were. I don't think they're from the Jorgens either, otherwise, they could have just put on an act of beating up those four people instead of killing them without a second thought."Clara concurred. If Severin was in cahoots with the four people from earlier, then he could have just chased the four men away. After pondering over it, she gestured respectfully at Severin and said, "You mentioned that you were here to look for our hall master?"Severin nodded with a smile. "Yes. I came here to look for your hall mast
A sudden thought then occurred to Gigi and she added, "Oh, and there are also the guys from the Devil Gang. We can't let them find us either. It'll be very troublesome if they do. Those people are even more frightening. They have so many strong people in their ranks, and it would always be best to hide."Severin knew that Capra Hall considered warrior emperors to be very strong. It was thus understandable that the two of them would be so scared. He then asked curiously, "We overheard you saying that your hall master will seek revenge on Jorgens sometime later. I take that to mean that you're making some very good progress. In that case, your hall master would probably have a high attainment."Gigi said with a smile, "Yes. He's now a level three warrior emperor, and our two elders are level two warrior emperors.""That'll save me a lot of time and effort," Severin muttered to himself. He need not do anything further or worry that there might not be enough time, since the hall master
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
