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
Uzair's pleas failed to shake Severin's resolve. The Scarletsky Sword called out and radiated countless flashes of spiritual light.The next moment, an incandescent beam of golden light shot skyward and illuminated the entire site. Those outside who were locked in heated battles for spiritual treasures paused briefly after being caught by surprise by the sudden change. Initially, the sky darkened abruptly, but it later began to glow in a blazing light. All that could be seen was a sun-like entity that illuminated the entire place"What could that be?!""That sword energy is so strong!""This must be a prodigy's technique! Just looking at it is enough to overwhelm one with a chilling power!"A chorus of exclamations erupted from the practitioners, all of whom were curious to see that spectacle.Meanwhile, inside the palace, Uzair's pupils dilated in horror as he watched Severin unleash the terrifying sword light again. Goosebumps appeared on his skin as a chilling premonition of d
Gaping rifts were all that remained, along with the churning winds and elemental energy. Uzair, the Deifirm's Sect's prodigy, had met his tragic end. His death rippled through the place like a shockwave, leaving countless practitioners in stark disbelief. It was difficult for them to believe that he was killed at the hands of the Grandiuno Sect's Severin. All who were present at the scene witnessed his final, desperate cries."Gulp… Uzair… The Deifirm Sect's Prodigy… Is dead?!""Dear God… I can't believe a level nine supreme saint died just like that…""It's shocking to think that a single slash was all it took to kill one of Southsky's prodigies!""Just how strong is the Grandiuno Sect's Severin?!""We're going to see a paradigm shift in Southsky now!"All the practitioners within the palace were shaken by what happened.Be it members from the four great sects, elite disciples from the two families, or unaffiliated disciples, everyone was shocked to the core after witnessing th
As Severin approached Sian, the latter tightened his grip on his golden lance and tried to unleash his spiritual energy. He looked at Severin in fear and despair as he yelled, "Severin! You... You can't kill me!"Each step that Severin took caused Sian to feel as though the murderous aura surrounding him was getting stronger and stronger. That sense of fear was so strong that it bore down on his shoulders and made it difficult for him to breathe.Having witnessed Uzair's demise on top of suffering a severe injury in the previous battle, Uzair felt a numbness in his scalp and had lost all his arrogance from before. Though trembling in fear, he looked at Severin and gritted his teeth to make one last-ditch threat. "The Gahrrs won't let you off that easily if you kill me!"Severin smiled coldly, and the spiritual energy from his level eight supreme saint attainment seemed to cage Sian like a barrier. "Worry about yourself, rather than worrying about whether or not the Gahrrs will come
Sian picked up his severed arm, and he looked resentfully at Severin. Further conflict could escalate beyond just losing a limb, so he begrudgingly left the palace.Once he rose into the sky, he turned back and glared venomously. "Mark my words, Severin! This isn't the end! You'll pay for this!" His shout echoed through the air before he disappeared into the sky in a streak of light.The scene drew the attention of the practitioners gathered outside."Sian lost an arm!""Are the battles within the palace that brutal? Why are prodigies being killed and wounded left and right?""Didn't you hear? Severin was the one who sliced off Sian's arm!""It's almost as if the sky's the limit for Severin's strength! He killed Uzair… and then he sliced off Sian's arm!""He's a monster! I heard he just made a breakthrough to level eight supreme saint just yesterday! It's barely been a day, yet he's already contending against a level nine supreme saint!"Many of the practitioners outside of the
The purple plaque was filled with the scriptures of philosophy and a blackish light. He could already tell with one look that it was of extraordinary quality! As for the book, Severin could sense the strong power of heaven and earth despite not understanding the characters written in it. He looked at the two items and strode forward as he stared at Gillian, Soran, Tobias, and the others. "I want these as well!"Soran's expression soured as soon as he heard that. They all entered the palace for the sole reason of securing the legacies that Wildfire left, and Severin wanted to claim all of the most valuable ones. That was rather excessive, in Soran's view!Soran came forward with an ashen expression. A strong aura emerged from Soran's body as he looked at Severin with hostility. He then said, "You've already gotten the Sky-Soil Zenith, and now you're demanding another two treasures. You seem to have little respect for us at all."After speaking, Tobias's spiritual energy began swirlin
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
