"Don't worry, Miss Daniella! I'll definitely win against him next time!"Emery was known as the second alchemy genius after Celeste in Grandiuno Sect. However, she liked to boast that she was no worse than Celeste. In fact, she might have been the core disciple if Celeste did not have Forest Constitution. She would have been the star in any situation!It was all and well until she met Severin in the Alchemy Tower a few days ago. Her pride was shattered to a thousand pieces the moment Severin surpassed her! It was the first time she had ever experienced failure and she was plunged into despair.'Perhaps after this failure, Emery will learn to be more humble,' thought Daniella when she saw the determination in Emery's eyes.She was very familiar with Emery's character as she had been her master ever since she was little. She knew that Emery thought she was the most talented person when it came to alchemy. Sometimes she even looked down on Celeste, thinking that it was only through lu
Emery had never felt such rage at being looked down before! After all, she was known as the alchemy genius of Sixth Mountain since she had joined the Grandiuno Sect. All she had ever known was being adored and praised.Even Celeste—one of the five core disciples—was a nobody in her eyes since the only reason she was able to rise to that status was because she possessed Forest Constitution, and not because of her talent in alchemy.Emery knew she would have become a core disciple too if she had Forest Constitution! In addition, she was regarded as a goddess by countless fellow students due to her breathtaking beauty. Not to mention, she got to enjoy the care and protection of Daniella. All that gradually made her become more and more arrogant with each passing day!She wanted to catch up ever since she was surpassed by Severin in the Top Alchemist ranking, but the fifth level was very difficult to pass. Her impatience just made the whole thing worse, resulting in her failing again an
He would be more confident about breaking through to level six supreme saint if he had the help of a Pristine Spirit Pill. With that thought in mind, he flew up to the sky and came face to face with Emery."Are you serious when you said you're willing to put up the alchemical recipe and pills as a bet?" asked Severin with bright eyes.'What a shameless jerk! He didn't even give me a time of day when I gave him the letter of challenge, but he changed his mind the instant I said I'm willing to put up a bet?' thought Emery with gritted teeth.Her face darkened again as she could not help but feel Severin was deliberately mocking her! Driven by anger, she said coldly, "Not only the Pristine Spirit Pill and the sixth-grade high-rank alchemical pill recipe, but as long as you defeat me, I will become your servant and do your bidding without any complaints!"After a pause, she added, "But if you lose, you will step down from your position as core disciple! Do you dare to accept the challe
This competition not only caused a sensation among the disciples, but also attracted the attention of many elders.First, Oskar broke precedent by making Severin the sixth core disciple, prompting many elders to go to Oskar to kick up a fuss. After all, since the founding of the Grandiuno Sect nearly ten thousand years ago, there had never been a sixth core disciple. Everyone was used to the status quo of only five core disciples. Thus, the sudden appearance of a sixth core disciple caused a huge sensation in the sect.Later, after Ferland returned from the sacred lake, these elders gradually realized that Severin had extraordinary qualifications and possessed some top-level Divine Constitution, and they reluctantly accepted his identity as a core disciple.Much later, Severin managed to defeat Shyam, the elite disciple ranked tenth on the list of geniuses, in just a few moves. That made him famous across the sect since Severin was only a level three supreme saint while Shyam was a
Ouro fumed after facing opposition and glared at the man. "Easy for you to say, Shannon. But are will anyone from the Seventh Mountain be able to hold out against me in the Starry Sky Battlespace?"The man who was addressed as Shannon sneered at that remark and responded, "The Seventh Mountain has no prodigies." Following a pause for dramatic effect, he added with a smirk, "But I've heard about Severin, the core disciple from Pearl Light Isle. He's gained fame in the sect, and news of his upcoming contest against Emery is making its rounds throughout the entire sect.""He'll have a chance to shine in the Starry Sky Battlespace next year if his talents are nurtured well!" remarked one of the other elders after hearing Shannon's remarks. The peak masters were already well-acquainted with Severin, especially after every he was the talk of the Grandiuno Sect.Upon hearing the news, Oskar grinned smugly and seemed pleased at himself for unearthing a gem like Severin. "Absolutely. Severin
Severin was blissfully unaware of the fact that his acceptance to compete with Emery had spread like wildfire within the Grandiuno Sect. It was no exaggeration to say that the news was dropped on everyone like a bombshell.After accepting Emery's challenge, he returned directly to Pearl Light Isle and entered the courtyard. Severin had not concealed her spiritual energy when Emery issued the challenge, and her voice reached everyone on Pearl Light Isle. Upon entering the courtyard, Wuhlricht and others immediately surrounded Severin.Wuhlricht looked at Severin with a weathered old face and said solemnly, "You shouldn't have agreed, Severin. As far as I know, Emery is the direct apprentice of the Sixth Mountain's peak master, Daniella Wyan, and she's a very talented alchemist. We don't doubt your talent at all, and we think that you're much stronger than her; however, your reputation has also grown by leaps and bounds in the six months since you joined our sect. If you defeat Emery,
Severin, for example, arrived at Bleurealm's Nontwo City as a fifth-grade high-rank alchemist. Eventually, he discovered a sixth-grade alchemy recipe. Despite wasting so much of time and materials in his numerous failed attempts, he was still unable to make any progress.A breakthrough for an alchemist was no easy feat, and was vastly different from the stages within a level for attainment, for an abundance of materials were needed for practice. It was only when Severin ascended the Alchemy Tower that he broke free of that predicament and reached the sixth level, for the simulation that tested his abilities to refine pills had allowed him to accumulate experience with sixth-grade pills. That was why he was able to successfully became a sixth-grade alchemist.Severin's reassurance seemed to have an effect as the worries on everyone's faces began to dissipate.However, Felipe remained firm in his opinion that Severin should have refrained from accepting the challenge and ought to have
Seven days later, Severin's time in seclusion had ended. Once the sun peeked over the horizon and marked the start of a new day, he got dressed and freshened up before heading out to the courtyard.Wuhlricht and others were already there, apparently having waited for some time. When they spotted Severin's arrival, Diane came up to him and adjusted his clothes a little. She flashed a smile to him and said, "Ready to go, Severin?"Severin grinned and nodded. "Yeah. I'm confident I'll win."The group then rose into the air and transformed into a cascade of rainbow-colored rays as they headed straight for the Alchemy Tower on the Sixth Mountain. Upon reaching the Alchemy Tower, Severin saw thousands of disciples gathered in the area. A chorus of cheers erupted upon his appearance."Look! Severin is here!""I get why our sect leader chose him as the sixth core disciple! I didn't expect him to be that skilled in alchemy!""He's so handsome! He has a divine constitution, and he's just a
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
