Rachel smiled. "I'll ask my men to look into where the other halls are instead.""Littleton is an island city. I've never been there but I'm pretty sure I can bring you there. It's located at the south east corner of the ocean and will take around three days by flight to reach there," said Sofia with a smile."Oh my god. With your attainment, it'll still take three days?" asked Diane with shock. "That's super far!"Severin frowned. "Sofia, you're basing the flight time on your speed, right? I don't think it'll take that long if going by my speed."Unexpectedly, Sofia smiled and said, "No, I am basing on your speed. It would take at least ten days of flight time if going by my speed."Severin momentarily lost of words. After a while, he said, "Diane's right. That's super far. No wonder there's no marker for Littleton on the map.""I want to go too! I should be able to follow you this time, right? I mean, Littleton isn't a dangerous ground, right? I want to see the sea!" said Sheil
Diane smiled gently too. "Yeah, I can't wait to try out my new power and technique on a spirit beast. Severin, is this how you feel after leveling up too?"Severin laughed. "Of course. It's normal to think that way. Plus, not only will you be raring to pick a fight with a spirit beast after leveling up, but you'll also feel like you're invicible after a breakthrough like you two had.""Yeah! Oh my god, it felt so unbelievably good when I broke through to the warrior king level! It was as if I contain within me all the power in the universe," said Sheila, who was in total agreement with him, with a rapid nod of her head.After thinking it over, Severin was compelled to say, "Actually with you two's attainment, you can totally go outside of the city to have a friendly fight with each other. That way you two can hone your skills while getting a feel for what you're capable of.""No way can I fight Diane! What if I accidentally hurt her? Plus, I can't bear to lay a finger on a family m
After consuming the Golden Sky Spirit Fruit, a firm yet soothing energy began to course through his entire body."This is amazing! It's strong and soothing at the same time. This will make it so much easier to continue the refinement."After undergoing a full appreciation of the energy, Severin immediately executed his training exercises and began to absorb the energy.Time passed bit by bit, and the spiritual energy in Severin's body began to increase. The spiritual energy became more intense. Finally, a powerful wave eventually spread out all around him, which he immediately retracted back."I've managed to reach level three saint!" Severin was overjoyed. He did not expect everything to proceed that smoothly, much less have a surplus of the spiritual fruit's energy in his body. Aside from making a breakthrough to level three saint, he was poised to secure a breakthrough to the mid-stage third-rank saint. As expected, Severin's attainment had stabilized at level three saint after
Severin had been expecting Sofia to break some very serious news to him, so the mention of a betrothal gift left him quite pleasantly surprised. "Oh, a betrothal gift. Of course, of course. I'll have it prepared."Sofia was delighted when Severin readily agreed. She continued, "My father's demands are quite high. The condition he set was that you had to provide him with ten third-grade low-rank pills."Severin smiled when he heard that. "That's a very reasonable request. We've amassed plenty of spiritual herbs this time around. I'll refine those pills in the coming days if I have the free time. After we return from Littleton and get some rest, we shall visit your father at the Stormy Moon Sect."Sofia nodded happily and replied, "All right! It's settled then."Severin could not resist wrapping his arms around her and kissing her after seeing her radiant smile.The following day, Severin found himself with some free time and decided to refine a significant quantity of third-grade m
Severin exhaled heavily as he prepared to refine the pill. He was working on a relatively straightforward third-grade high-rank pill that required more materials than third-grade medium-rank pills.He failed midway through his first attempt, and the difficulty was naturally far greater than that of a third-grade medium-rank pill. However, he was not that concerned over those setbacks thanks to his ample supply of materials.The second attempt failed too, but there was some measure of progress. The occurred much later in the alchemical process, and Severin exclaimed, "Not bad! I'm already making this much progress on the second try! Haha! From the looks of it, I should be able to master this successfully by tomorrow morning at the latest."Having sensed the notable improvement, Severin gained confidence and persisted in his refining efforts. Daybreak came, and by the eleventh refining attempt, Severin was already sweating profusely."Rise!" he exclaimed. A smile soon appeared on his
Sofia blushed after hearing that comment and felt like burying her head in the sand like an ostrich.Sofia rolled her eyes at Sheila and said, "Is it okay if you avoid bringing that up again in the future? It's mortifying."Sheila replied nonchalantly, "What's there to be mortified about? If you like someone, then the best thing you can do is go for them. You managed to win his heart in the end, didn't you?"Severin could not help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation at Sheila's candidness. Sofia could not suppress her laughter either, but as she smiled, a thought crossed her mind and she added, "Perhaps Miss Stephanie has found her way here? You spent quite some time together with her in the foggy forest, and you also joined forces with her to deal with the Devil Gang.""It's possible, but could it be Stephanie? She did mention that she would be away for a mission, and she might drop by here with the excuse of meeting an old friend," Sheila speculated enthusiastically.
Elsa's face lit up with joy. She immediately made a respectful gesture and said, "Thank you very much, master. I appreciate it."Sheila grinned playfully and remarked teasingly, "Your apprentice is a beautiful woman. How do you feel about having such a beauty as your apprentice?"Severin was momentarily taken aback as he responded, "How do I feel about it? Hmm. Her mental energy is very strong, so it's highly likely that she has a natural talent for alchemy. I hope she lives up to her potential when it comes to terms of comprehending the subtleties of this field."Diane smiled. She approached Elsa and said, "You came at the right time. Had you arrived tomorrow, you'd probably have to wait a while for us to return because we'd be making our way to Littleton already.""Littleton? What are you doing there?" Elsa frowned. She did not seem unfamiliar with that, so it appeared that she already knew a thing or two about Littleton. It was only after Diane explained that they were going to
In the evening, Severin's family took Elsa to a large restaurant for a celebration. They also introduced Elsa to the Shanahans, as well as the many hall masters.The next morning, Severin shared his alchemy knowledge and several recipes with Elsa. Once that was all done, he—along with Sofia, Sheila, and Diane—soared into the distance on his flying sword."It feels amazing to ride a flying sword. It's so much faster than flying without any support," Sheila remarked as she gazed down.Diane felt the cool breeze around her and added, "I had no idea something so powerful would exist in this world. It all feels like a dream."Severin smiled and replied, "It's pretty slow, if you ask me. There's no need to rush since we're traveling together. Let's just enjoy the scenery along the journey."Diane chuckled. "It's my first time on your flying sword, and it's also Sheila's first time. We probably would have a hard time getting used to it if you go too fast, and we might even get uneasy."
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
