"These places don't seem to be on Dracodom's map."Four days later, they found themselves flying above a forest. They had entered unfamiliar territory.Sofia smiled and explained, "The spiritual energy in this forest is remarkably dense. It might even be several dozen times richer than in some of Dracodom's cities. I would think that this place harbors some very strong monsters, or perhaps some secluded clans. Some secluded sects would prefer to train nearby as well."Diane was concerned that Severin might experience fatigue, so she suggested, "You've been flying the sword for quite some time now. Would you like to take a break before we continue our journey?"Severin scanned the surroundings and pointed to a nearby mountain peak. "Let's rest there for an hour or so before we continue."Following their brief rest on the mountain peak, they noticed a group of people approaching them just as they were prepared to depart."Their attire suggests to me that these people are disciples
The other party had scanned the area briefly before retracting their mental power. Severin observed the situation and commented, "Tch. These individuals probably look down on us because they think we're a bunch of casual practitioners or members of a secluded clan. I bet they wouldn't be so bold if we were dressed like members of a sect."Sheila concurred, "Let's just ignore them. We can continue on our way once they leave."Sofia, however, felt a little uneasy. "Why aren't they leaving yet, though? They seem to be discussing something."The middle-aged man seemed to hesitate after scanning Severin's group with his mental power. That prompted one of their other members to ask curiously, "What's wrong, Maron?"Maron smiled. "Nothing. It's not often that we get to see so many talented women in one group. I'm not talking about one or two women… I'm talking about more than half of the group."Upon hearing that, the mustached man released his mental power to scan the group too. He expr
Upon ensuring that everyone agreed to maintain secrecy, Maron led the group toward Severin's party without a second thought.Elsa's expression soured and darkened when she saw that. "Why are they heading in our direction?"Severin responded with a cold smile, "Their group consists of a few level four and level five warrior emperors. The strongest among them is a level seven warrior emperor. The rest are level seven and level eight warrior kings. They might be strong, but they're messing with the wrong people if they think they can harm us and engage in acts of aggression for their personal gain."Sheila then smiled wryly and offered a different perspective. "What if we're overthinking this? They could just be asking for directions.""That doesn't seem too likely, With so many people around, it seems a little far-fetched for all of them not to know the way," Diane added.Luke, one of the twelve hall masters with the highest attainment level, had recently made a breakthrough to leve
"Right?! They're all so beautiful! Our group is much bigger than theirs, so we might need to share one of them between two or three of us," the mustached man gulped and remarked with a lecherous grin.Yuka stepped forward after seeing their lewd looks. She said coldly, "I was wondering why you'd come over instead of going on your way. Well, now we have our answer. You're all a bunch of wretched perverts. What a disgrace to your sect."An elderly man from the opposing party laughed and declared, "Haha, I like this one! Save her for me later, haha."Yuka glanced at the man with disdain. "You want them to save me for you? You'd be better off asking them to save you from me! You're all fools for trying to cause trouble here. Do you have any idea who you're up against?"Larry clenched his fist and glared at the enemy. "Save your breath on these idiots, Yuka. Let our fists do the talking.""Tch. I'm surprised a bunch of unaffiliated practitioners like you have the balls to threaten the
"A level six warrior emperor?! They have a level six warrior emperor?!" the mustached man exclaimed, rubbing his eyes in apparent bewilderment.Nancy stepped forward as well and released her spiritual energy."Another level six warrior emperor? How is this even possible?" The Stillroad Sect's disciples stood in disbelief and began to question their judgment. They wondered if Severin's group were genuine casual practitioners. Individuals with such high attainment levels were going to be very difficult to deal with, and there were three such people within the group already."I'd like to join the battle too!" Sheila clenched her fists and emitted the aura of a level three warrior emperor."Your attainment level is too low, Sheila. It'd be better for you to leave this to us," Zoheb advised. He stepped forward and unleashed his spiritual energy, revealing the attainment of a level seven warrior emperor."What?! Another level seven warrior emperor?" Maron, the initiator of the confronta
"We don't need to worry about these corpses, right? There's no one around here anyway. Let's leave quickly and let the monsters around here take care of these bodies," Diane suggested after a moment of contemplation.Severin launched his flying sword and prepared for departure. "Let's make haste, then. No one will find out what we did because we're practically in the middle of nowhere."The flying sword soon ascended into the air and flew forward at great speed."We have nothing to be afraid of, right? These are just disciples from a second-tier sect. The sect that we'll be joining is a first-tier sect. Their sect wouldn't dare to provoke us even if they find out that we were behind the killings," Sheila remarked with a grin.Severin concurred. "You're not wrong, but they might still try to harass us if they find out. I would much rather not attract any unnecessary trouble if I can help it. Besides, we haven't officially joined the sect yet, and it would be wise not to bring troubl
Severin cupped his hands slightly and said with a smile, "My brethren, we are here to see Wuhlricht Blausch, leader of the Skyblue Sect." The man responded with a laugh. "Hahaha! You're joking, right? How do you know our sect leader? Who are you?"One of his comrades chimed in, "Look in the mirror. You're all a bunch of young and ignorant casual practitioners. How could you possibly know our esteemed sect leader?"Another tall man added with a smile, "You're asking for a whopping if you think you can address our sect leader by name.""I think you're the ones looking for trouble," Sheila came forward and retorted. She was visibly upset by their remarks. "Do you even know who he is? You'll have bitter days ahead of you if you offend him. He's the disciple of your sect leader's senior.""The disciple of our sect leader's senior?" The tall man was stunned for a moment before he began laughing. "Hahahaha, you certainly know how to brag, little lady! I've never heard of our sect leader
"What should we do now?" Sheila asked helplessly. Since the man before them was an elder of the sect, it would stand to reason that he was a formidable individual. Engaging him in combat was simply out of the question.Severin offered an awkward smile and replied, "We came here to see if we could try and become disciples of your sect. My apologies for heading in the wrong direction."In the end, Severin gave in and led the group toward the side chamber. "Let's go!"One of the disciples sneered. "This guy is full of nonsense. It's a good thing you were sharp enough to notice that something was amiss. We'd all be fooled if it weren't for you, Rano."Rano was none other than the tall disciple. He said coldly, "These people are probably trying to get into the sect through the back door. They're attempting to get noticed by the sect leader to secure a place in the sect. These inept schemers tick me off the most."Rano raised his voice when he made that remark, almost as if he wanted Se
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
