Severin's name was associated not just with being the sixth core disciple—it was also synonymous with being an alchemical genius! The disciples in the area erupted in enthusiastic exclamations at Severin's feat."He made it! He cleared the fifth floor!""Severin has successfully advanced to the sixth floor!""None of us expected him to be the first to reach the sixth floor!""I shudder to think of the talent he possesses! How did he even complete the assessments so rapidly?"More and more disciples paid attention to the Alchemy Tower ever since Emery re-entered it. Most were aware of the ongoing competition between Emery and Severin within the Alchemy Tower. As the days began to pass, disciples gathered near the open area in eager anticipation of the outcome between two alchemical giants!Emery's admirers displayed high confidence in her abilities in the beginning, and the open area soon became a battleground where supporters of both sides did not give in to the other.While Eme
Emery could not bear to witness her concede her position, but her pride had taken a hit of vulnerability when she faced the undeniable reality. In the past, she had been hailed as the Sixth Mountain's prodigy. The gap between herself and Celeste would be minimal, if not entirely absent, if Celeste did not have the Forest Constitution. Being spoken in the same breath as Celeste had imparted Emery with not just confidence but a touch of arrogance too. It was intensified all the more by her countless admirers.Having struggled for three years without breaking through the fifth level, the news of Severin's achievement in just half a year hit Emery hard despite her laughing off previous comparisons between her and Severin. While she might lag in attainment talent compared to a core disciple like Severin, she deemed herself to possess a superior proficiency in alchemy.As she contemplated her chances of being the first to reach the sixth-grade alchemist and possibly even challenging Severi
Even if Severin were to fail the assessment, he was determined not to let go of an opportunity to gain valuable experience. Severin shook his head and gazed at the vast array of material before him. "Let me secure a breakthrough to sixth-grade alchemist before moving on from there."Severin opted once again to craft the Prima Spirit Pill and use it as the avenue to become a sixth-grade alchemist. He had limited experience with that pill, after all, and each failed attempt contributed to his understanding of crafting them.After formulating his game plan, he located the materials and meticulously followed the steps. For his first attempt, he tossed the materials into the cauldron one by one, but the cauldron roared and emitted a puff of black smoke—signs of another failure. Undaunted by the setback, he remained undeterred and felt a renewed determination that only grew with every failed attempt.The subsequent failures did not dampen his enthusiasm in the slightest, and Severin persi
Evening came, and Emery stood in silence by the entrance of the Alchemy Tower as she looked at the third-placed name on the ranking list—Severin Feuillet. She appeared exhausted, and even the luster of her eyes had dimmed slightly. Despite her continuous efforts during her third attempt, she managed to concoct only 998 pill recipes, falling short by the last two needed to complete the assessment. Mentally exhausted from all that exertion, she reluctantly left the place.That ordeal marked Emery's first encounter with defeat and frustration. He looked at Severin's name again and uttered with a bitter smile, "Just how talented are you!"She had strived for several years and failed the test thrice, yet Severin had passed it all in just over half a year. It was a huge blow to Emery's ego, especially since she had once asserted that her alchemical prowess could rival that of Celeste.Emery left the Alchemy Tower in despair, haunted by the thought of Severin wresting away her third place.
Zelia could only shake her head when she heard that. "I don't have an answer to that. Perhaps he is simply a receipt of divine favor."Celeste displayed a tinge of envy when she heard that. Despite her status as a core disciple with the coveted Forest Constitution that resonated with wood affinity. However, it was only an Element Constitution that paled in comparison to Severin's Divine Constitution.Some core disciples had no interest in securing any positions, but they would not pass up the opportunity to compete for a place in Midland's Grandiuno Sacred Land. That sacred land was rumored to have been an ancient and prosperous sect that held great allure. The founder of the Grandiuno Sect hailed from Midland, and the south was considered inferior in comparison. Supreme saints were regarded as ordinary in Midland where paragons were the requirement to enter. Even a royal paragon was not particularly prestigious there.Celeste's eyes revealed yearning and a sense of conflict as the
Not only did Severin have the Divine Constitution, but he was also well-gifted in the art of Alchemy similar to Emery. Raymond trusted and firmly believed one day Severin would make his name well known to every household in Southsky. At least, a powerful man who could become a great leader.There were six core disciples in the Grandiuno Sect. Other than Severin, the other five were very powerful too. Karl, the strongest of them was now a paragon. The second on the list was Spencer Yade. He possessed the True Dragon Constitution which belonged to the Element Constitution group. His body was as tough as the dragon. He had a fighting spirit as cruel as the dragon too.Next on the list was Riley Boyer with a Nine Yang Body Constitution. He could punch with the impact of the sun. Any attacks were pointless and useless to him.Even when Raymond was now a level nine supreme saint and not too far from advancing to the paragon, he had yet to learn who would be the last one standing between t
Knowing that it was about Severin, Oskar could not help but ask curiously, "Oh? What happened exactly?"As the top combatant of the Grandiuno Sect, he had been in seclusion during that period and did not know much about the affairs within the sect.Normally, all matters in the sect—be it large and small—were handled by the elders. It would be impossible for Oskar to care about every little detail, so naturally he did not know much about what Severin was doing in Alchemy Tower.Upon hearing that, several elders immediately recounted to him how Severin passed one level after another in the Alchemy Tower. After that, an elder sighed and said, "It seems Grandiuno Sect is going to have another genius!"After hearing the whole story, Oskar was so happy that he could not help but smile. The reason why Severin was recruited into the sect was because he had top-notch qualifications such as possessing Divine Constitution. He really did not expect that Severin not only had Divine Constitution
In the hall, Wuhlricht—who was sitting next to Severin—shook his head and said, "When we were at Skyblue Sect, everyone was a genius. Even if they were not geniuses, they still had alchemical pills to help them train."Wuhlricht paused, then spoke again, "But now in Southsky, in the Grandiuno Sect, there are countless people who are far more talented than me. If we don't train hard, when will we catch up with you?"The great elder not far away agreed with Wuhlricht. "Yes, Severin, do you think everyone is as talented as you?"After joining the Grandiuno Sect, they saw so many supreme saints and paragons that it fired up their inner fighting spirit. They did not want to be a drag on Severin. Especially since they were just elite disciples, and the only reason they could live in Pearl Light Isle was because they were Severin's relatives and friends.However, even with that kind of relationship, the monthly cultivation resources they would receive were standard for elite disciples. Th
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
