Raymond's face paled at the sight of the Demonblood Gourd. He began to worry about Severin.The Demonblood Gourd was Uzair's trump card and was one of two treasures that Uzair was famous for, the other being the Thunderbolt Pool. The gourd was infamous for its malevolent energy that thirsted for blood upon activation. Even level nine supreme saints could be mentally affected by the oppressive energy.Though it was only a mediocre-quality treasure, the Demonblood Gourd was well-known throughout the Deifirm Sect. Uzair was one of the Deifirm Sect's prodigies, so it was natural for Raymond to possess more information on someone whom he considered his equal. As a result, his expression turned serious, and he was stunned, speechless when he saw Uzair produce that weapon. Raymond would not even dare to take Uzair on in that situation.Sian's reaction, however, was a stark contrast to Raymond's. Sian's initial shock morphed from surprise to delight and finally to manic excitement. He grinn
Everything that had been engulfed by the blood-red mist was reduced to dust under its terrifying power. The other prodigies who witnessed what happened retreated immediately from the battlefield's center and protected themselves with their defensive equipment.In the palace's corner, a slender figure draped in a thin gown and a gauze veil was observing Uzair's movements. She was none other than Gillian of the Marvair Sect. Glancing at Severin, she shook her head and mumbled to herself, "He might be able to resist the attacks if he were a level nine supreme saint, but it's a shame he's not yet at that level."She remained neutral in that situation because she had not interacted much with Severin, and her sect harbored no animosity with his either. Though she was a proud prodigy of the Marvair Sect and one of Southsky's four great beauties, she nonetheless acknowledged that Severin was a strong individual.The sect elders had cautioned her before the expedition to be wary of the Grand
The following blast sent the golden lance flying. Sian's eyes turned cold, and he thrust his palm forward.Scriptures of philosophy flashed around him, and a massive palm materialized within a fraction of a second. Within that palm was a glittering star-like galaxy, and the center of the palm seemed to produce countless rays of divine light. It pulsed with the destructive power of a level nine supreme saint that was capable of crushing any ordinary level eight supreme saint.Severin responded by extending his hand and flicking his finger lightly. The terrain seemed to shift as a rippling sound filled the air. Golden light radiated all around him, condensing at his fingertips into a little ball of light that crackled with a space-shattering aura."It'd be rude for me not to reciprocate, to have a go at this!" Severin sneered as he flicked his finger at Sian. A golden flash erupted from his fingertips, growing into a mountain-sized fingerprint as it hurtled forward. The energy warped
"Does everyone from the Deifirm Sect have the tendency to talk big?" Severin remarked, raising the Scarletsky Sword, "Even your so-called prodigy, Thorold, couldn't do anything against me when we fought in Nontwo City some time ago."Uzair's face darkened instantly. He had not confronted Severin in the ruins because of Thorold, but being publicly mocked only served to make his tempers flare. No one had mocked him ever since he became a level nine supreme saint. Severin was the first."You're a dead man, Severin!" Uzair hissed, unleashing the blood-red mist from his Demonblood Gourd. The mist then condensed into thousands of sharp blades, all of which were aimed directly at Severin."Perfect timing," Severin countered coolly. The chaotic divine light flickered around him as his aura morphed into the scriptures of philosophy and swirled all around him. With a gentle raise of his hand, he seemed to turn into a havoc-wreaking giant that was covered entirely in terrifying spiritual energ
The onlookers bore utterly astonished expressions, especially Soran from the Purevoid Sect and Gillian of the Marvair Sect. That was their first witnessing Severin's true might.Rumors of Severin facing Uzair and some others in a one-on-three battle were dismissed as mere exaggeration, scoffing at the supposed otherworldly nature of his abilities. After all, both Uzair and Sian were renowned level nine supreme saints, and they should not have any problem dealing with a level seven supreme saint like Severin.However, Uzair and Sian's failure to overpower Severin after unleashing their full strength left Gillian and Soran questioning if they were hallucinating. After recovering from the shock, Soran muttered, "This kid is a freak!"Soran believed himself to be a strong individual, yet even he felt that it would not be easy to deal with Uzair's terrifying attack earlier. Severin, however, did so effortlessly!Beside him, Gillian, with her thin veil covering her face, was speechless w
The terrain seemed to shift as thousands of thunderbolts roared across the land of Wildfire's inheritance! Severin could sense the danger when Uzair directed the Thunderbolt Pool toward him.His line of sight was filled with the crackling fury of the Thunderbolt Pool. Hundreds of purple divine thunderbolts plummeted from the sky; most were as thick as buckets. Each descent unleashed shockwaves, and the resulting impact was unimaginably strong. The surrounding air split open, giving rise to howling winds that swirled with the violent force of divine lightning.Unfazed by the scene before him, Severin touched the space between his eyebrows and summoned the Darkgold Bell. It materialized in his hand, growing rapidly in size into an almost mountain-like shape. Its seemingly simple-looking copper surface pulsed with a mesmerizing golden light, and countless mysterious auras intertwined to form a formidable swirling barrier.The bell's deafening bell toll resonated as the divine thunderbo
The veins on Uzair's forehead throbbed wildly as he was consumed by murderous intent. No one had ever mocked his abilities until Severin came along. He was the Deifirm Sect's prodigy, and he commanded a certain measure of respect even from the paragon-level elders. Severin, however, looked down on him time and again, which only fueled his rage even more.His voice turned cold as he hissed, "How dare you mock me! I'm going to kill you!"Mysterious runes flared on his forehead as he unlocked the scripture of philosophy within his element constitution. The thunderous aura surrounding him intensified, hinting at a power potentially surpassing that of a level nine supreme saint!An unparalleled murderous intent erupted from Uzair, rippling through the air like a shockwave. His fingers morphed into claws that crackled with chaotic lightning, and he reached toward Severin with violent intent.With a flick of his sleeve, Severin activated his galaxy-like meridians and lit up the entire spa
Uzair reacted frantically and cocooned himself with the Demonblood Gourd's malevolent energy. At the same time, the Thunderbolt Pool above swirled with renewed power, unleashing a torrent of snaking electricity that coalesced into a crackling shield of lightning. Before those defenses could fully take shape, Severin's sword energy sliced through the air and cleaved through everything in its path.The lightning shield held on for only a few seconds before shattering into billions of light fragments. The Sky-Soil Heptagold Sword Energy, further infused with the remnants of chaotic swordwill, continued its trajectory forward.Uzair panicked when he realized that his first line of defense had crumbled. He roared, channeling his spiritual power to spur the Demonblood Gourd into spewing forth another torrent of malevolent energy, hoping desperately that it would be enough to curb the sword light.Severin, however, viewed it as a futile gesture. The sword's energy was to the malevolent ene
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
