Surprisingly, Rachel did not know anyone else who dared to talk to her in that way in South Link City. She pulled her face long and said, "Do you know who you are talking to? Have you any idea that you have put yourself in great danger by saying those things to me?""Oh, really? I'm Thommy from a first-tier upper-class family of Kensett. Tell me, should I be afraid of you?" Thommy sneered.In fact, he was a bully in Kensett where he could do anything and have anything he wanted without any repercussions. No one had ever threatened him like Rachel did. Therefore, he was not afraid of Rachel."I'm Rachel and I'm never scared of anyone. I don't care if you are from a first-tier upper-class family or even the mayor. I will beat you up if you anger me!" Rachel sneered.It did not matter if this guy refused to give the room to her. At the most, she could book the other rooms. However, she could not tolerate being bullied or flaunted by this thug."What did you say your name is? Rachel?
"My sincere apologies, Miss Rachel, please take the private room as a token of my apology for my mistake," Thommy said with a shaking voice as he hurried to greet Rachel respectfully while keeping a distance between them as if an invisible barrier was keeping him three meters away from Rachel."Act... Actually I will be moving to another hotel." Thommy stammered and left with his sidekicks immediately."Mister Thommy, I will arrange for your deposit to be refunded to you," shouted Arroy across the hall as Thommy scrambled to leave."Oh my, what could you have possibly said to him that scared him to death?" Rachel was having a good laugh as she saw Thommy escaping like a frightened rabbit. Was she some sort of monster?"Well, not much actually. I've only made known to him that Miss Rachel is the hall master of the Serpent Hall and what do you know, that was enough to have him chickened out immediately." Arroy smiled, secretly hoping that he would earn some brownie points with Rachel
Sheila felt as if her entire body was charged with current, and she closed her eyes.In the morning, Severin called for his six bodyguards. "All of you have attained level one warrior emperor and stabilized your ranking. However, I will still give each of you a third-grade low-rank alchemical pill, so that you can improve your rank further," Severin said with a wave of his hand and handed the pills to the ladies.Lillie immediately grinned with delight and said, "Thank you, I knew that by becoming your bodyguard, I made the best choice in life!"Wendy followed, "I couldn't agree more! We are perhaps the luckiest bodyguards in the whole world. I doubt other bodyguards do not even come close to receiving the treatment that we have!"Kiera kept with the rest and said, "I was wondering to myself, what kind of a man could it be that required Mister Horace, a war god, to ascertain bodyguards for himself. Now I know for sure how extraordinary our Master is.""Isn't that true? I never d
Gracie nodded. "I have people waiting where they are. I shall go with you when you have decided when to leave."Severin gave that a thought and said, "It is best that we depart as soon as possible since we do not know what their attainment is. Let's leave first thing in the morning. I will inform Sheila and the rest of the team about this. How far are they from us?""It isn't too far away. If you travel with your flying sword, it will take less than two days to get there.""Good, come over tomorrow morning. We shall leave together." Severin said finally. "Understood, I shall take my leave now." Gracie nodded and left.In the evening, Severin told Sheila and Diane about his plan and told them to continue with their training during his absence to locate Simia Hall with Gracie.Sheila and Diane made good use of their time during the previous twenty-odd days. Both had made major breakthroughs, with Sheila reaching level one warrior emperor and Diane having become level two warrior e
"Greetings! Welcome to Burgin Hotel!"Severin and Gracie found a hotel quite easily in town and entered the hotel lobby.Severin said, "We will take two deluxe rooms.""Sir, my apologies for we only have one deluxe room left." The receptionist smiled apologetically.Severin quickly enquired, "What about the other room? Even if it's not as good as the deluxe room, we would like two separate rooms.""Understood, I will have that arranged immediately," the female receptionist said with a polite smile.Gracie could not resist feeling let down as she stood behind Severin. She had great confidence in her beauty and was certain that Severin was not willing to pass by this chance. Besides, it mattered not to her whether Severin would take her as his wife. She was more than willing to have him for just one night. However, Severin had no such thought."Here's your key card. Let's go grab a bite," Severin said as he handed it to Gracie.Gracie nodded while accepting the key card, and they
"Oh, wow, I didn't know this restaurant has spirit beast's dishes. It seems like there are many people with attainment here. Look, you also need to pay with spiritual stones too," Severin said while looking at the menu.The waitress smiled lightly and said proudly, "Sir, you look like you're not from here. Although this place is out of the vicinity, there is a forest with many spiritual herbs and spirit beasts. I think some of the spirit beasts are equivalent to a warrior king, so there are many people attainment. A lot of us are fighters, and there are not many normal people."Severin nodded. "No wonder. Then I'd like to order these dishes that are more expensive and two bottles of premium red wine."Gracie rolled her eyes at Severin and gave him an alluring look. "Just two bottles? We should order four bottles. Today is a happy day, and I really like to enjoy tonight.""Four bottles, it is," Severin coughed embarrassingly and said to the waitress."Oh, I also like to order this
The lanky man in front of Gracie could not resist approaching her after hearing her words. With a smile, he said, "Mind sharing a table with me if you can't finish all the food, cutie? I'll order some more food too. It'd be wonderful for us to drink and chat together." He paused briefly and continued, "Don't you worry about the bill. I'll pay for everything as long as you share your table with me."Gracie was speechless for a moment. It was rare that she had the opportunity to be alone with Severin, much less at a venue that had a romantic ambiance and delightful music. She had not expected that some random individual would ruin such a pleasant atmosphere.She gazed indifferently at the man and responded, "I'm sorry, sir, but I'm not keen on sharing a table with other people, especially strangers like you."A bald man then stepped forward and said, "Darn woman! This man right here is Mister Doug Rogar, the Rogars' scion! You ought to feel honored that he's willing to share a table w
"Ah, you… How dare you..." Whatever ill intentions Doug had against her had all but disappeared. He howled in agony as he squatted down, shocked that Gracie could be so ruthless to him even after learning he was the Rogars' scion."Stop standing there like statues! Beat her to death! She's getting on my nerves!" Doug endured the pain and shouted at several of his men."You're asking for it, lady!" One of the men possessed the attainment level of a level one warrior king, and he clenched his fist before enveloping it in spiritual energy. The others in his group were level nine profound masters, with one other person being a level three warrior king. The strength that they had positioned them as strong fighters in their city."You're all a bunch of trash!" Gracie snickered as soon as she determined the attainment level of those people. They were all like a bunch of clowns to her. As soon as she finished speaking, she retaliated at once and killed them all in less than a minute."No,
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
