With the help of the protective shield, the mist around him was dispersed away. He advanced normally to the top because the mist was unable to affect his movement anymore.Seeing how Tobias and the others used their divine techniques to pass through the mist, Severin was unwilling to be left out too. He unleashed his spiritual energy. The aura was so strong that it rose to the sky and the swordwill in his body started humming.The swordwill was so strong that it could disperse the mist away from Severin and prevented Severin from being affected by the mist. Without the obstruction from the mist, Severin could barely offset the invisible oppression.Yet, he continued to take one step at a time toward the top of the mountain while feeling he was carrying a huge mountain on his shoulder.With every step they took, the ground rumbled and shook crazily as if there was an earthquake. All of them understood that the closer they were to the top of the mountain, the higher the pressure they
The Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus was an eighth-grade spiritual herb. Any spiritual herbs above sixth grade were regarded as treasures. Paragon would only benefit from alchemical pills from seventh-grade and above. Those alchemical pills contained the power of heaven and earth.In order to produce seventh-grade alchemical pills, it was compulsory to obtain some sort of power of heaven and earth. Even for the Grandiuno Sect who was founded a long time ago, they too only had a few seventh-grade alchemical pills.As such, the eighth-grade spiritual herb was a main ingredient to create the eighth-grade alchemical pill. If the spiritual herb appeared elsewhere, every paragon and royal paragon in Southsky would fight to their death to obtain it.The last time someone discovered an eighth-grade spiritual herb was several hundred years ago.The Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus Severin was looking at it now was not normal spiritual herbs. In fact, it was the main ingredient to produce the eighth-grade alc
Inevitably, Tobias and Sian did not wish to give up fighting for the chance to get the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus too.Just as they finished talking, they cast the spiritual energy beam technique and threw the spiritual energy beams at Severin. Although they were oppressed by the pressure of the mysterious mist and could only move slowly, it did not mean they could not use their combat techniques.The three beams charged toward the Severin and captured the mist at the top which made the space around them twisted. Severin sensed what they did and looked stern."In your dream!" he shouted. He flipped his hand and Scarletsky Sword appeared in his hand blazing with fire. He waved it to create several sharp slashes to cut apart the beams that were attacking him.After that, he unleashed his swordwill. For a moment there, he became like an unsheathed blade. The sharp aura from the sharp side of the blade cut open the space around him.Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the sky. It was a
At the same time, the disciples from the major sects and rogue cultivators witnessed Severin harvesting the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus. Which was a big surprise to them. Mainly because Uzair was actually the one leading the race all around. Yet, Severin overtook him and was the first to escape the mysterious green-colored mist to reach the top.After hearing how Uzair threatened Severin, they started discussing."That's an eighth-grade spiritual herb! Severin is so lucky. I think even a paragon would be jealous of him to obtain the treasure!""Indeed, But there are too many people eyeing for it. Do you think Uzair will let Severin leave this place without a fight?""Yes. The only way to leave this place alive is by handing the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus over.""But Severin is the sixth core disciple of the Grandiuno Sect. Is he really that weak like you guys talk about? Didn't he beat Uzair by a little when they were fighting just now?""Can't you tell Uzair didn't use all of his power
While Tobias was making his way up the mountain, he thought the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus would be his if it were not for the mysterious green-colored mist. He waved his hand and a palm-sized black spiritual weapon that had the shape of a nail appeared in his hand.When the spiritual weapon made its appearance, it felt like the air around it froze because it was emitting cold breath. The black sparkle seemed to have the ability to capture a person's soul. Just by looking at it, Severin felt piercing pain in his divine sense.Tobias smiled and Severin and said indifferently, "Severin, listen to me and hand it over. You don't want to know what my Soul Devouring Nail could do to you."The Soul Devouring Nail was a spiritual weapon he obtained from an ancient ruin. Its previous owner was an evil practitioner. Although it was a medium-rank spiritual weapon, its power had surpassed the normal level of the medium-rank spiritual weapon. No one knew it was used to kill how many ferocious beast
The three of them heard what Severin said and they all looked gloomy. Especially Uzair because he knew what kind of impact Tobias' Soul Devouring Nail could have. After all, he had once experienced it.The Soul Devouring Nail had the ability to attack a person's soul. It was the most nasty, insidious, and vicious weapon that was impossible to defend against. Even he needed to be careful when he fought Tobias. Yet, Severin easily tackled it without a sweat.Severin was right. Uzair did not dare to go all out because he was afraid Tobias and Sian could defeat him if he used up all of his spiritual energy to fight Severin. Thus, all he did was suppress Severin with his aura.There was only one Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus. In order to get it, Uzair, Tobias, and Sian would have to defeat Severin but who would be the real person to obtain it? Thus, Severin was Uzair's enemy but so were Tobias and Sian.Sian with his lance furrowed his brows vehemently. He said with his deep voice, "I guess t
Sian, who stood closest to Severin, felt a tremor ripple through his body as the sword materialized. An inexplicable dread washed over him as if an aura of death was drowning him. The aura destroyed his lance-gleam dragon in a flash and surged toward him with unabated power.Following a loud bang, Sian felt a mountain-like impact on his chest. Several of his ribs snapped under the impact. He was sent flying several meters back, dazed as he coughed up blood. Only after he managed to stabilize himself did he look at Severin with horror. Had he not reacted in time to deploy a spiritual light shield, he would have suffered so much more than just a simple injury.There was fear and awe in his eyes as he glanced at Severin with a conflicted expression. Severin's swordwill have deflected Sian's sword beam and inflicted some heavy wounds on the latter. Had he reacted any slower, the consequences would have been extremely dire. The thought of what might have happened left Sian dripping in col
The situation at the mountaintop became tense. Despite their initial eagerness, Sian, Uzair, and Tobias had taken a cautious approach.Sian bore the brunt of Severin's attack and suffered internal injuries. His healing was hampered due to the residues of Severin's chaotic swordwill that remained within his spiritual power. He was in a rather sorry state as blood trickled down his chin.Tobias, though unscathed, was incredibly fearful of Severin. The Soul Devouring Nail that he wielded might just be an inferior-quality weapon, but its power was stronger than a mediocre-quality one. Though the weapon had the ability to restrain a practitioner's soul, it still proved useless against Severin. He did not exert his full strength and merely tested out his weapon against Severin. The latter was simply so strong that Tobias could not afford to underestimate him again.Uzair, too, abandoned his interest in the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus. In his eyes, its value paled in comparison to the legendar
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
