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
After averting his gaze from Severin, Oskar gathered his spiritual power and declared loudly, "I now declare the end of the sect tournament!"Following his declaration, the tokens in everyone's hand rose to the air and flew toward Oskar. They transformed into small embers of spiritual light that soon disappeared.Oskar then raised his hand and his robe billowed as he waved gently in the air. Thousands of fragrant pills and useful spiritual treasures streamed out from his palm as beams of light. They flew toward the hands of the disciples who secured a place in the thousands."Here is a Thoroughspirit Pill for those who managed to get into the top one thousand!" Oskar announced.He then proceeded to distribute rewards for the top hundred participants, who were given Crystal Spring Pills and inferior-quality spiritual treasures. Having distributed them, he proceeded to reach for the top fifty people and called each person by name."Diane, Wuhlricht, Sheila, Sofia..." The reward for
Severin swiftly grasped the significance of the Starry Sky Battlespace through Oskar's guidance. Unlike other hidden realms, the Starry Sky Battlespace served as a unique period of boon for Bleurealm's thirteen states. Only the most exceptional geniuses—those deemed to be beneficiaries of good fortune—could enter the space.Rumored to be connected with divinity, the Starry Sky Battlespace was a relic created by ancient celestials who once descended to Earth. In it existed numerous scriptures of philosophy, making it one of the best places in Bleurealm to comprehend the ways of heaven. Additionally, the space was passed down through the ages, housing countless rare treasures and presenting varying levels of obstacles. Success in overcoming these challenges allowed one to etch their names in history.Severin expressed his gratitude to Oskar for providing an in-depth explanation of the Starry Sy Battlespace. "Thank you for your advice. I will bear that in mind."In response, Oscar reas
"Karl might be the first core disciple, but even his strength has his limits.""It's must be such a shame for a reincarnated powerhouse like Karl to be defeated by someone who has only been with us for just a year.""I don't consider him a prodigy anymore. Severin is a true prodigy. Killing Riley and defeating Karl is more than enough for him to achieve renown in Southsky."Karl, who had not gone far yet, erupted in anger when he heard what the disciples were saying about him. In a fit of rage, a surge of blood reached his throat as he spat, "I'll get my revenge on you someday!"That was his first ever profound setback since his reincarnation. Fortunately, he inherited a resolute determination from his previous life as a powerful royal paragon, which helped him deal with the defeat more easily. Upon returning to his residence, he immediately went into seclusion.Meanwhile, Severin and his companions had left the ring and returned to Pearl Light Isle. Inside the courtyard, Severin
Diane's grateful expression left Severin at a loss for words. He smiled and continued, "Now that the tournament is over, I'm planning to participate in the Starry Sky Battlespace next month. I'll prepare some more pills for all of you."The sect's regulations dictated that only the top five disciples can enter the Starry Sky Battlespace. Countless prodigies would vie for a chance to reach divinity, and the results of the battle could often be ruthless. Those below the level of paragon would not even get the right to enter the place.Severin thus intended to use that time to craft additional pills for Diane. He aimed to reach level five paragon before going to Midland, and it was important to ensure that his companions' strength was not too far off from his.Upon hearing Severin's plan to retreat once again, Diane and the other girls displayed a hint of resentment. Since joining Grandiuno Sect, Severin had been either been in seclusion, refining pills, or mastering various techniques
Raymond sported an awkward smile and explained, "Well… we're here to talk about the Starry Sky Battlespace!"Celeste picked up from where he left off. "Since you will be leading the top five disciples in the sect, there are a few things we would like to discuss with you," she said in a melodious voice.Severin promptly invited both of them to Pearl Light Isle. Once they were inside the main hall, Emery swiftly served them some hot tea.After taking a sip of tea, he looked at Celeste and asked, "May I know what is it you wish to speak to me about?"Celeste set down her tea cup and answered frankly, "According to what I've been told, prodigies from Southsky's four major sects will be gathering in the Starry Sky Battlespace. There are two people that you need to be especially cautious of. One is Simeon, the Deifirm Sect's junior sect leader. He is an extraordinarily gifted person who is rumored to possess a divine constitution. At the age of five, he obtained the inheritance of an anc
Celeste wore a joyful smile upon receiving Severin's approval. As a sixth-grade high-rank alchemist, her dedication toward alchemy had intensified since her defeat to Severin in the Alchemy Tower, and she focused on strengthening her abilities to try and catch up to Severin's level.The Starry Sky Battlespace offered a precious opportunity for her growth. The Pathfinder Fruit would enable her to refine a batch of seventh-grade Pathfinder Pills, which she could then use to gain advancement in attainment and clear the Alchemy Tower's higher floors.After witnessing Celeste's delight, Severin shifted his attention to Raymond and asked, "And what about your request?"Raymond grinned and scratched his head awkwardly. "Haha, so you saw through me then."He stood up with a solemn expression and gestured respectfully toward Severi. "As you have expected, I do have a favor to ask of you. I have a treasure map of the Starry Sky Battlespace, and rumor has it that this map leads the way to sec
