Just today, Nielsen and his friend had just accepted a mission to hunt for a spirit beast. Unluckily, they bumped into this king of beasts on their way.This king of beasts was unlike the normal spirit beast. Normally, spirit beasts could absorb spiritual energy just like humans. Despite being spiritual creatures, they did not have the ability to think and little intelligence. However, the king of beasts was strong, had a strong built of body, and had the ability to think with their intelligence.After many attempts to kill the Fire Leo, they failed to hurt it. On the contrary, they were the ones who suffered injury.Seeing the Fire Leo catching up, Yaacob felt annoyed and irritated. He wondered if today was the last day he stayed alive.Suddenly, his friend shouted out loud and managed to distract Yaacob from feeling sad. "Look! It's Mister Oskar!"Yaacob looked in the direction his friend was pointing and saw the green sword flying quickly at them. He was thrilled and relieved.
Once again, Yaacob examined Severin while feeling strange. He saw there was a glow from Severin's body and his body was hot like an oven while his blood was similar to the blood of a dragon. From there, Yaacob concluded that Severin had a tough body with some kind of special constitution.After that, he cupped his hand and said, "Mister Severin. Nice to meet you."The core disciples were seen as the next sect leader, at least that was what they were trained to do. The benefits they had or their position in the sect were incomparable to the other disciples. Even an elite disciple like him would have to bow and greet Severin with respect after knowing Severin was a core disciple. Their status was different, after all.An elite disciple could only become the elder in the sect. However, the core disciples could have the chance to become the sect leader. If they were lucky, they could proceed to the legendary higher-class sect at the Grandiuno Sacred Land in Midland.Severin nodded and
Yaacob, the self-professed know-it-all of the Grandiuno Sect, claimed knowledge of everything under the sun. He bragged about having personal experience of every incident that happened in Southsky and boasted that he knew tens of thousands of people within the sect. Words poured out of him like water from a burst dam.The impression he left on Severin was that of a braggart who loved being nosy.Throughout the journey, Severin gathered information about the personal lives of several elite disciples from him. He elicited titbits such as which women the young men were interested in, and who had engaged in life-or-death battles with their rivals. He also learned about each disciple's talents, be it swordsmanship, alchemy, or other skills.Sordid details aside, Severin was able to gain a more profound understanding of the Grandiuno Sect. The sect had nine mountains, each guarded by a royal paragon. The first mountain was ranked thus because Oskar, the sect leader, resided there. No disc
The elders responsible for overseeing the area pretended not to hear the complaints from the expelled disciples. One of them bowed respectfully to Severin and said, "Greetings.""No need to be too polite," Severin replied with a wave of his hand.Oskar, who stood next to Severin, produced a green token out of thin air. He tossed the token to Severin and said, "Pearl Light Isle shall be your abode in the future. This token will allow you to freely enter and leave the island."Severin was delighted that an island was presented to him out of the blue. He had been concerned that joining the Grandiuno Sect would lead to his potential separation from Diane and the others due to their different status, but it seemed that the separation was no longer needed. Severin was grateful to Oskar for that and said, "Thank you."Oskar smiled and whipped out a small jade-colored porcelain bottle. He handed it carefully to Severin and said, "This is a sixth-grade pill known as the Spirit Condensing Pi
The more valuable ones were located on the fourth floor and above, so Oskar stated calmly. "You may head directly to the fourth floor."The elder's pupils contracted slightly, as the fourth floor housed mid-rank spiritual treasures. 'Our sect leader seems to hold this young man in rather high regard. He's only at level three supreme saint, and he was only just accepted as a core disciple. I'm rather surprised that he has been given the privilege to choose a mid-rank spiritual treasure.'Although surprised, the ninth elder remained silent. With a wave of his hand, the door of the Treasure Pavilion opened automatically behind him. "Remember, a spiritual treasure cannot be returned once selected. If you want to change your weapon, you'll need to pay at least thirty thousand spiritual stones before you are allowed to reenter the pavilion.""Thank you for your advice," Severin gestured respectfully to the elder before entering the Treasure Pavilion. He proceeded directly to the third flo
Inside the room, Severin sat cross-legged as he focused on the two jade plaques suspended in front of him. These Star-grade combat techniques, as well as the exercise, had been given by Oskar after they left the Treasure Pavilion.Oskar presented the techniques and explained everything to Severin before leaving Severin and his group alone on the vast island.Severin soon prepared for seclusion.Oskar had fulfilled his end of the bargain by providing Severin with various attainment resources regardless of Severin's identity as a new core disciple. Severin decided to familiarize himself with the two treasured weapons first, then master the combat techniques and exercises given by Oskar. The goal, naturally, was to enhance his attainment.He held the jade plaques against his forehead and channeled his consciousness through it to absorb all the information. "Star-grade mid-rank training technique: Grandiuno Treasured Notes. Provides comprehensive training and is unparalleled in killing
Oskar moved on from his surprise and sought to remedy the situation. As he opened his palm and curled his fingers inward, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a thousand-mile radius seemed to pour right into his palm. He then directed the ball of energy toward Pearl Light Isle. The spiritual energy turned into rainfall that covered the surrounding area and replenished what Severin had drained.Oskar then used his divine sense to relay a message to the restless disciples on the Fifth Mountain. "Remain calm. He is the newly promoted sixth core disciple, and he is in seclusion."The words were like a bombshell that sparked a flurry of discussion on the Fifth Mountain. "The sixth core disciple? Since when did we have a sixth core disciple?""One of the seniors who returned from Pearl Light Isle said that the sixth core disciple is someone with a divine constitution who had been recruited from the sacred lake. Our sect leader made an exception and gave him the position of co
Some of those individuals were among the top ten prodigies on the list. Needless to say, to achieve the status of an elite disciple in the Grandiuno Sect requires extraordinary strength. Each one of them was at least a level six supreme saint, and they formed the backbone of the sect even though there were not a lot of them. Each of them was strong enough to become a pillar of a smaller sect.In contrast to Shyam and the many other elite disciples who harbored jealousy toward Severin after he became the sixth core disciple, the five great core disciples were more curious about Severin than anything.Inside a well-tended garden courtyard on the Sixth Mountain sat a woman wearing a blue gown. She sat cross-legged next to a cauldron and had an aqua-blue silk bow tied around her waist. A gold hairpin adorned her long black hair, and white boots embroidered with gold silk completed her outfit. Her fair ankles were visible, and they seemed to complement her cold and beautiful appearance. H
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
