Several hundred miles away from Sian, Severin held up his map and swiftly navigated the marked route. Along his journey, he confronted numerous ferocious beasts that were equivalent to level nine supreme saints. Thankfully, he was strong enough to deal with them swiftly.The Fierce Beast Mountain had been deemed a forbidden and perilous area in Southsky. Only practitioners who had nothing to lose or had no qualms risking their lives would venture deep into its depths. Normal practitioners typically searched for spiritual treasures and medicinal herbs without going too far in, as further ventures would result in encounters with the toxic miasma as well as potential confrontation with beasts that could rival the practitioner's strength.Though the Fierce Beast Mountain provide a route to Midland, no one would be willing to go through all that trouble, especially as teleportation formations rendered such journeys obsolete. He peered at the map and noticed that the destination was drawin
Zia Gahrr, one of the elders who were escorting Sian, realized that someone was using their divine senses to observe them because he felt his hair stand on end.As a level two paragon, Zia became alert as soon as he sensed that something was amiss. He then immediately channeled his attainment into his voice and yelled toward the sky beyond the valley. He then ascended into the sky, with his figure piercing the toxic mist as his hands radiated a spiritual light.The next moment, he extended his hand in Severin's direction and curled his fingers into a claw. A piercing sound echoed as his hand tore the surrounding space into pieces, unleashing a torrent of elemental energy that dispelled the toxic mist.The rest of the Gahrrs swiftly regrouped while battling the humanoid snake in the valley. The remaining paragon-level elders targeted the creature, inflicting severe injuries before returning to Sian and adopting a defensive posture. At the same time, they unleashed their divine senses
Sian could no longer conceal the murderous intention in his heart. His eyes turned abruptly red, and his entire body trembled slightly as he exuded the aura of a starving wolf. The memory of Severin subjecting him to unprecedented misery appeared in his mind. As he gazed at Severin's solitary figure, he felt a certain zeal along with a powerful murderous intent. During that incident in the Artic Heights, the Grandiuno Sect's Oskar had arrived just in the nick of time to prevent the deaths of Gwono from the Deifirm Sect and Favian. That memory was like a catalyst that led Sian to unleash his aura. He ascended from the valley and immediately came to Hasa.None of them were aware that Severin had reached the level two paragon, as news of the Grandiuno Sect's tournament results had yet to reach the Gahrrs. Sian soon found assurance alongside his elders. He stared angrily at Severin and snorted while gritting his teeth.Sian then secretly conveyed a message to the two elders. "Hasa, Zia
Sian exploded with rage and yelled, "Shut it! Who do you think you are?"Both Zia and Hasa were paragons, and while they might not be the strongest members of the Gahrrs, they were still considered formidable due to their level two paragon attainment. Sian believed that while Severin could defeat opponents on a much higher level, it was still impossible to do so against a paragon!Sian suppressed his rage and asked his two elders respectfully, "I sincerely hope you'll be able to deal with him on my behalf."Zia nodded and locked eyes on Severin, believing that Severin was already as good as dead. The next moment, he unleashed the aura of his attainment, forming a violent sonic boom that resounded across the void. He rose to mid-air and stared at Severin arrogantly. "You were the one who severed our scion's arm in the vast mountains, were you not? I'll offer to make your death quick if you cease any attempt to resist. If not..."Zia then took one step forward and closed the gap betw
Severin's formidable physical power promptly destroyed Zia's attack, and the remaining traces of energy struck Zia without seemingly any diminished point in view. That punch carried the weight of a mountain, and the surging energy delivered a powerful blow to Zia's chest as he penetrated the defensive aura in front of him.The counterattack caught Zia by surprise, and he could feel several ribs breaking. An unbearable pain seared through his internal organs, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Despite realizing that something was amiss, Zia doubled down on his efforts and retreated several dozen feet to create a distance between himself and Severin.That confrontation, though brief, made him aware of Severin's terrifying physical prowess. Energy as potent as that of the surrounding energy, coupled with a power comparable to that of a real dragon, left Zia in awe. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he cursed to himself and said, "Damn it! He's not a supreme saint!"Even
Before long, the other Gahrr disciples above the valley finally sensed that something was amiss. That their two clan elders had teamed up against such an adversary made them realize that Severin was their most formidable foe since entering the Fierce Beast Mountain. Such a circumstance typically unfolded only when the clan elders faced a strong enemy. Both elders were level two paragons, and the only enemy that could force them into such a situation was likely someone on the same level as them.Sian formed a similar conclusion, but he could not accept that it was actually happening. "This can't be possible!" It had been just two months since their encounter at the Artic Heights, and no amount of talent could reasonably explain how Severin could make more than one breakthrough since then. Achieving such feats within such a short span of time was unheard of in the Bleurealm.Unlike a breakthrough from royal saint to supreme saint, the breakthrough from supreme saint to paragon required
"When we return," said one disciple, "I'll ask our family to demand an explanation from the two of them!"Most of those disciples had witnessed what happened in the Artic Heights, and the bitter taste of failure was something that they could not forget.Seeing two of the clan elders surrendering to Severin left them shocked and outraged, with Sian sharing the same sentiment as them. He clenched his fist with his unsevered arm, dug his nails deeply into his hand, and stared at Severin with a gloomy expression. He muttered under his breath, "Damn you, Severin!"With the Gahrr elders' decision to avoid any conflict, Severin thought to himself in surprise, 'I guess there are some smart people in the Gahrrs. Looks like they were able to guess my attainment simply from the strength of my body. Not that it matters, of course.'He was an enemy of the Gahrrs, and accepting their supposed 'truce' might not be the end of their animosity with him. He could not be sure whether or not they would
Fear was all over Zia's face and a chill ran down his spine.After all, his and Hasa's attainments were on the same level, but Hasa could not even withstand an attack from Severin. As a level two paragon and the elder, he should not be so easily beaten by Severin since Severin was on the same stage as him. In addition, Hasa also had a spiritual weapon with him.After all, the higher the level of attainment the cultivator was, the longer and stronger his life span would be. They would not be easily defeated like when they were during warrior king level or warrior emperor level. However, that normality did not apply to Severin. He killed a level-two paragon without any difficulty. How could that not make Zia feel anxious, scared, and shocked?The moment Zia accepted the reality, he rather sacrificed his spiritual weapon that Severin had snatched over and decided to activate the self-destruction spell on the spiritual weapon. If Severin was any ordinary cultivator, Zia had the confiden
