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
The man, Raymond, nodded at Severin after sensing the latter's gaze. The other person, a woman, exuded grace and charm. Clad in a flowing white dress that resembled the petals of a white lotus, the faint scent of orchidaceous fragrance was perceivable even from afar.Severin speculated that the woman was Celeste, and the spectators soon confirmed his suspicions. After Raymond and Celeste made their appearance, a wave of exclamations echoed across the entire open area in front of the Alchemy Tower."Isn't that Raymond?! He's the fourth core disciple!""And that's Celeste, the fifth core disciple!""Wasn't Raymond in seclusion on Phecda Isle? Why has he joined us here today?""Who would've thought that today's contest would draw the attention of two core disciples who rarely make an appearance outside of their islands?"As the disciples on the scene discussed the unexpected arrival of Raymond and Celeste, a perplexed expression unfurled across Emery's face. Though she had no idea w
Severin brought his Dragonstand Furnace. The palm-sized cauldron grew to the size of a millstone as soon as it came into view. The inscriptions engraved on the bronze walls began to light up, and a white flame materialized through Severin's spiritual power. In an instant, the entire cauldron turned a blazing red, and its temperature was hot enough to burn the surrounding air.Once he had done the necessary preparations, Severin glanced at the nearby Emery, who summoned a palm-sized cauldron from her spatial ring as soon as she landed. The purple-hued four-legged cauldron bore faint inscriptions and began to glow radiantly as soon as she channeled her spiritual power in.In less than a minute, the purple cauldron became engulfed in large purple flames, and the energy fluctuations emitted from it was comparable to ninth-grade spiritual equipment. The scorching air waves distorted the surrounding space, surpassing the aura and temperature of Severin's Dragonstand Furnace. Severin could
An average person might not find the Purplecloud Cauldron's combat function useful, but its usefulness toward an alchemist could not be understated. After all, its success rate was boosted by twenty percent! By allowing Emery to use it, Daniella was blatantly handing her a clear advantage over Severin.Knowing that Ferland deemed her actions somewhat unjust, Daniella shamelessly remarked with a smile, "She insisted on using my cauldron because she was afraid of losing."The surrounding elders were not pleased to hear Daniella's remark, for they felt that she had gone too far in protecting her apprentice. Her actions left Ferland speechless, but since the contest was already underway, all he could do was remain silent and hope that Severin might not have it too difficult.Meanwhile, Raymond and Celeste were showed a similar disapproval of Daniella's actions. Celeste, being a sixth-grade alchemist herself, was particularly disgusted by Daniella's coddling. The Purplecloud Cauldron was
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
