Haider continued, "I reckon we better leave early in the morning to the Carneys so we won't miss them."Ruben gave it a thought and decided, "Okay. I'll ask Mister Maximus to go with us. He fancies beautiful women too. I'm sure he'll agree to go with us if I bribe him with spiritual stones.Haider chuckled. "The Great Elder is a level six warrior emperor. Our plan is definitely going to work if we have him with us."For the next couple of minutes, they continued to discuss their plan to make sure everything was prepared. Then they went to look for Maximus and also the other captains of the bodyguard's team.During dinner, Severin, Sheila, Diane, and Sofia were welcomed with the Carneys' warm hospitality. Due to the island's geographical location, the kitchen had prepared many dishes with the meat of the spirit beasts from the sea. Most of the dishes were unheard of on the mainland. This was also the first time Severin and the three girls savored such rare gourmets. All of them had
Just then, Severin looked at Deacon and asked, "Mister Deacon, I think you have remained in level five warrior emperor for quite some time. Am I right?"Deacon smiled bitterly. "Yes. I have been at this level for two years. During these two years, I have been searching for spiritual herbs or foods to help with my progress but I have had no luck."He felt pity and continued, "I did try to make a breakthrough last year but the spiritual herb was not strong enough to help me. I had to change to another spiritual herb halfway through the process and eventually, I failed because I lost control. That had gotten me injured too. I had to rest for a few months until I was fully recovered."Meena added, "That's why my dad is a little afraid to make the breakthrough now."Severin smiled. Then he flipped his hand to take out a third-graded medium-rank alchemical pill for Deacon. "If that's the case, then please accept this alchemical pill. I hope it can help you have the breakthrough you wish
Haider tried to use Meena as a scale to tell Maximus how pretty their new targets were. "The three women Mister Ruben told you are so much prettier than Miss Meena. That's why Mister Ruben insisted on you joining us this time."However, Maximus did not fall for his trick. "I think you just worry that you guys are not strong enough to defeat them before you don't know their attainment. If you know who the guy is, you'll never ask me to join."Ruben said in a serious tone, "That's not it. There are three women and I can't have them all to myself, can I? So that's why I invite you to come along. Besides, I know how high your standard is. So this time I want to show you how beautiful those women are.""Mister Ruben! I saw one guy and four women flying out from the Carneys' residence. They are leaving the city," a bodyguard who was on duty quickly reported.Ruben quickly went to the window to take a look. "It's them! But Miss Meena is with them too. What should we do?"Haider smiled, "
"Are we being surrounded?" Sheila asked with a frown.Sofia saw Haider and Ruben. She said sullenly, "They are the ones from yesterday.""Hehe. You have a good memory. I didn't think you'd still remember me," Ruben teased.On the other hand, Haider asked, "What do you think, Mister Maximus? Do you like what you're seeing?"Before Haider asked, Maximus had already enjoyed looking at those women. He gulped. "Not bad. All of them has different style but they are all very beautiful in their own way. I can't control my mind from fantasizing about them now."Meena frowned and looked at Ruben. "Ruben Gregory! You pervert! Who gives you the audacity to do this on me?"Ruben smiled. "Haha. To be honest, I never included you. My target was the three women here. But since you're with them, we thought we might as well include you too."Maximus thought for a while and said, "You better cooperate and go to the forest with us. Maybe we can consider sparing your life if we are satisfied with yo
Too bad, his plan was destined to fail because his opponent was Severin. Severin's eyes looked fierce. As he balled up his hand, spiritual energy started to wrap around his fist. He threw out his punch at Maximus' punch.A loud sound appeared. The next second, Maximus was sent flying away like a broken kite. He crash-landed many miles away and even created a huge hole in the ground."How—how is that possible?" That was Maximus' last words. As fear filled his eyes, blood could not stop spilling out of his mouth. He looked despair and died."Mister Maximus!" Ruben's voice trembled and his face looked terrible."You girls can handle the rest of the people," Severin said and gave Meena and the three girls the opportunity to gain fighting experience.It was a piece of cake for Sofia and Meena killing the rest of the warrior emperors based on Sofia and Meena's attainment. Whereas, the rest of the bodyguards were less strong and Sheila and Diane could be in charge of killing them."Run!
Even after that, Sheila still did not understand. She frowned, "But they are already dead. Their bodies are gone too. How would their family know we're the ones who did it?"Severin thought hard and smiled bitterly. "Diane is right. If their family knew Ruben is dead, they are going to suspect us very quickly."After a pause, he continued, "It's very simple. I remember a few of the bodyguards who were with him did not come today."Sheila responded by gasping heavily. "Oh, my god! All of you have good memories! I didn't even notice it. There were a few people yesterday but there are more than twenty people today. How do you remember their faces?"Severin smiled, "It's not just their faces but I remember their attainments too. Those who came today were stronger. Those bodyguards from yesterday were just either level five or level six profound masters. So I'm sure not all the bodyguards from yesterday were in the group today."Diane nodded, "Yes. Even though they didn't come today, t
There was one member who was surprised and thrilled to see so many beautiful women visiting them. He wondered what brought them here. Then he saw Meena and recognized her. He cupped his hand and asked, "Aren't you Meena Carney? What brings you here today?"Meena smiled and cupped her hand too. "I brought my friends here to visit your Hall Master. Could you please inform him of our arrival?"Sus Hall was in a bad situation now. Because of the conflict with the Dragon and Tiger Gang, no other families wanted to have any connection with them. Everyone was afraid that being friends with Sus Hall could get them involved in the matter so everyone had chosen to stand by the side and watch.Meena's family was considered powerful in the city. Her visit meant quite a lot to the Sus Hall and the members did not dare to make her feel unwelcomed.A female member quickly ordered, "Moana, please bring our guests to the meeting room. I'll go inform the Hall Master."Moana nodded and approached Me
After hearing that, Luke frowned and asked, "Who is asking to see me?"Gina was one of the few geniuses they had in the hall. Currently, she had already reached level nine warrior king. That was why she had the courage to talk back after being reprimanded by Luke.Gina smiled, "It's Meena Carney.""Meena Carney? Why would she be looking for the Hall Master now? I mean all those families are trying their best to avoid us. So I don't understand why would she want to see the Hall Master. Do you think the Carneys have the intention to form an alliance with us?" The Great Elder frowned and was baffled.The Second Elder's eyes lit up. "If the Carneys are willing to cooperate with us, then we can team up to fight the Dragon and Tiger Gang together. I know their overall power is very strong. I even heard people saying Meena had a breakthrough not too long ago.""Come on. Let's go over and see what's her purpose. No matter what, she's an important guest and we shouldn't let her wait for to
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
