Now Karl had a plan in his mind. He was going to make Severin one of his assistants. Since he was going to go to Midland, he would need a few assistants to accompany him and he had set his eyes on Severin. That was why he did not kill Severin just now.On the other hand, Severin shook his head with the Scarletsky Sword in his hand and Darkgold Bell above his head. "Cut the crap. Resume the fight so we know who is the real winner."After that, he unleashed his swordwill. It rocketed to the sky and passed the cloud. Every sword the disciples had started to hum. Many swords flew out of their scabbard and flew in a circle above the arena.After that, he raised the Scarletsky Sword to agglomerate a sword beam that contained his swordwill to attack Karl.Seeing Severin refuse to accept his kindness and attack him instead, Karl got angry and snorted. "Do you think you can beat me with this lousy skill?"Karl slashed with the God-Killing Spear. Suddenly, the sky became very bright with a
The Flameless Pinnacle which was originally a palm-sized large was enlarged and sparkled brightly. The beam shot through the void and destroyed everything including the air. It took just a couple of breathing times to reach somewhat near Karl.Karl saw the incoming. He did not have much time to think and could only use the God-Killing Spear to protect his body."You idiot!" Karl shouted out loud.The principles of law appeared around his body and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was let out from his body. He used the power of the level one complete-stage paragon and the spear to attack the void.Celestial light started showing on his skin to completely form a godlike statue. Kinda like a divine being from ancient times. The spear beam pierced through the void. It contained terrifying power that shook the formation of the arena.On the other hand, the beam continued to head toward Karl with strong power. In the end, it got intercepted by the spear beam where both beams coll
Meanwhile, Severin was standing in the middle of where the explosion happened. The Darkgold Bell remained above his head. He continued to hold the Flameless Pinnacle with his right hand. Countless sky-soil energy was released from the weapon. On his left hand, he had his Scarletsky Sword with a layer of swordwill on it.He was hovering in the air and looking at a spot with his serious-looking eyes. His hair was moving despite having no wind blowing it. There was no damage to his outfit.In a normal situation, he would have successfully killed a level one paragon with that attack.The Flameless Pinnacle was an elite-quality weapon. Other than him, only Oskar, the sect leader of the sect had one. Yet, Karl was able to withstand the divine attack which shocked Severin very much.On the other hand, Karl was also hovering in the air. He remained unharmed and still as spirited as before. There was still a layer of celestial light on his skin. The void around him was cracking with many bl
Severin yelled lightly and the miniature sword in front of him shot out. Originally, it was only the length of a finger. As it flew further, it continued to enlarge. From the thickness of a finger to the thickness of a pail and lastly, it was as thick as a millstone. It also grew from the length of a finger to two hundred feet long.The sword was glowing with a dark gold color. It seemed like it had the ability to cut open the sky to form a new land. With the terrifying breath, it continued to fly toward the God-Killing Spear.Everywhere it flew, the space around it would tear and create many black holes that were able to engulf the arena. With the crazy amount of the power of heaven and earth, it flew forward with the ability to destroy everything.Everyone was shocked and stunned when they saw the miniature sword. For the sword was encompassing a powerful breath that made everyone feel like they were very close to death. During that time, many of them were so scared that they quic
Lejeune and the first four peak masters collectively threw their support behind Karl because he was the reincarnation of an ancient powerhouse who once reached the attainment of royal paragon. That experience gained from his past life allowed him to swiftly master the power of heaven and earth.Karl's situation was thus different from Severin—hence Lejeune's belief that Severin might need to reach level two paragon before those methods could be mastered.Those factors resulted in their decision to support Karl.However, Severin seemed to have gained the ability to wield the power of heaven and earth despite a recent breakthrough to paragon. Furthermore, his Chaotic Swordshadow, seemed to be mighty powerful too. Even a level two paragon might be fatally killed upon contact with it, while a level three paragon would suffer severe injury from a mere brush.Lejeune and his group were surprised precisely because of those reasons.While everyone was in shock, Severin unleashed his Chaot
A single slash was all it took to reduce Karl's attainment, shatter his soul, cut his lifespan, and wound his physical body. The spectators were all wide-eyed in disbelief as Karl fell to the ground and lapsed into a coma. Any reasonable person could tell that Karl was utterly defeated and helpless. The sudden turn of events stunned the elders in charge of the arena and left them speechless for a moment.Upon regaining their senses, one elder finally declared with a resounding voice, "I hereby announce that Severin is the winner of this tournament!"His powerful proclamation echoed through the unusually quiet venue. Several moments later, the arena erupted in awe and surprise at the outcome."I'm not seeing things, am I?!""Karl…lost?""He's the first-ranked core disciple, a perfect-stage level one paragon, and a prodigy with a divine constitution! How did Severin manage to defeat him so easily?!""Severin is insanely strong! Even Karl is no match for him!""Do you think Severin
It had hardly occurred to Raymond that even a renowned prodigy like Karl had proved to be no match for Severin. What astonished Raymond even more was the noticeable damage to Karl's physical body, attainment, soul, and lifespan. Such a peculiar divine technique left Raymond thoroughly shocked, and he was unable to fathom how any technique could produce effects as severe as damaging not just one's physical body, but one's attainment, soul, and lifespan too!Spencer mirrored Raymond's expression. The moment Karl fell to the ground, Spencer leaped from his chair and could only stare in bewilderment at the unconscious Karl.Following a minute or so of stupor, Spencer finally regained his senses and gazed in horror at the figure on the arena. "How are you?" Spencer muttered to himself. "Even Karl was no match for you."In Spencer's opinion, Karl was already the strongest prodigy among the sect's younger generation and had also gained fame across Southsky's four major sects. Being the rei
Leonnel of the Second Mountain gazed gloomily Severin. His expression was marked by unwillingness, resentment, and a hint of disbelief.Severin's final strike—the Chaotic Swordshadow—evoked a sense of fear even in a level nine royal saint like him. The immense power of heaven and earth contained within it was beyond what a fresh paragon could typically manifest. Leonnel found it easier to believe if the swordshadow was Karl's doing, or rather, the doing of the reincarnated ancient practitioner.It had only been about a year since Severin joined the sect, yet he had already rose to become a royal paragon in such a short period. His progress was so quick that even Karl was no longer a match for him. Leonnel stared at Severin's figure for some time before averting his gaze and letting out a heavy sigh. He felt a mix of emotions as the sect tournament had concluded with Severin being the declared the overall victor.Leonnel could find some solace in the outcome, at least. Though Karl ha
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
