"I'm not surprised that the Gahrrs' royal paragon would personally intervene and bring over so many of their elders," Celeste muttered. The chasm that separated her and Severin seemed to widen with every passing moment.Over on a secluded spiritual island near the Fifth Mountain, Raymond found himself dumbfounded upon learning of what happened. He reflected on Severin's journey in the sect over the past year, from Severin's rise to fame, then his feats against Sian and Uzair in the Artic Heights, and finally the recent escape from the clutches of a level nine paragon. It was simply too surreal to imagine.If the figure outside the entrance was someone other than the Gahrrs' royal paragon, Raymond would have assumed that the person came after being invited by Severin. He chuckled bitterly and muttered, "You could've just killed their elders and be done with it, Severin. Why'd you have to go after their prodigy?"Clarkin's stern countenance outside the sect led Raymond to believe that
Clarkin's face turned red with anger as he overheard the exchange between Severin and Oskar. 'What does Oskar mean by getting justice for Severin? Our family lost a prodigy and several paragon-level elders! We'd become the laughingstock of Southsky's practitioners! Who's going to get justice for us then?'His body shook with fury, and it was his first time encountering someone so shameless.Clarkin glanced intently at Oskar and said in a solemn tone, "Are you sure you want to make an enemy of my family for the sake of a young paragon?"He then glared viciously at Severin, believing that his death was the price that needed to be paid for the Gahrrs' to redeem their honor.Oskar maintained his composure and responded, "What's this about making an enemy of your family? I haven't even approached your side yet, and you're already showing your arrogance at my turf. You don't think I'm that easy to mess with, do you?" Oskar's face soured. His gaze was so sharp that it produced an audible
Myles was first to come forward. He pointed at Favian and said, "Picking on the weak is bad enough. Now you're calling upon a royal paragon to back you up! You're all shameless!"The Sixth Mountain's Daniella cocked her eyebrow and shouted coldly. "I find it appalling to see a royal paragon taking it upon himself to deal with a mere paragon. Is this the standard that the Gahrrs hold themselves to?"Rowan of the Eighth Mountain voiced his agreement, followed by Lejeune of the Fifth Mountain and all the others.Severin observed from a distance with a perplexed expression when Oskar and the peak masters made him out to be the victim. It was nevertheless a comforting gesture as they were very much ready to throw their support behind him.As Clarkin listened to their righteous drivel, he realized that the Grandiuno Sect was not prepared to surrender Severin over to him. He sneered at Oskar with a dour expression and declared, "If that is the case, then let's have it then!"A terrifying
Clarkin maintained a calm expression on his face despite taking a powerful punch. By contrast, the elders around him nearly fell over due to the airwave. Clarkin trembled as he raised his hand and summoning a nine-foot-long purple-gold spear. Ablaze with white flames and flickers of thunder, its aura was strong enough to make it difficult for a person to breathe. The space around it warped and disintegrated due to the intense fluctuations—a clear sign that it was a superior-quality spiritual treasure.Clarkin displayed commanding poise as he held the weapon. His hair billowed in the air as he locked his gaze on Oskar and declared in a cold voice, "Show me what you've got!"In an instant, Clarkin darted forward and swung his spear with ruthless force.Unfazed by the attack, Oskar unleashed his level six royal paragon aura. He extended his hand and condensed a dark glow in his palm. He then smacked Clarkin and sent him hurtling away. The resulting shockwave created massive cracks in t
The two paragon-level elders reacted swiftly and defended themselves, thus averting severe injury. As they wiped the blood off from the corners of their mouths, they swiftly regained composure and rejoined the fray. "Kill him!"Severin's had an icy expression, and the Chaotic Swordshadow within his energy center grew restless. The swordwill enveloping him then erupted into the sky, and his Chaotic Swordshadow materialized in his hands. Every single sword-wielding disciple in the Grandiuno Sect felt their swords resonate uncontrollably before hovering up into the air.Grasping the Chaotic Swordshadow, Severin's eyes gleamed with a murderous intent as the overwhelming power of heaven and earth surged into the small sword. Its aura soon intensified, and it emitted a chaotic black-yellow luster while echoing with a loud swordwill."Slash them!" Severin commanded. The Chaotic Swordshadow shot forward, tearing through the very fabric of space, leaving a pitch-black gap in the void. The sw
The resounding shout jolted the rest of the Gahrrs, whose clarity had returned and replaced their heightened aggression.Favian, who was still locking horns with Myles and the others, held his spiritual treasure that was glowing brightly. The aura from his weapon radiated from him as a center and sliced across the air in a circular shape. As Myles and the others evaded, Favian seized the moment to retreat to Clarkin's side.Not long later, dozens of enraged Gahrr elders returned with various injuries across their body. The ravines carved into the ground by the multitude of sword light only deepened Clarkin's frustration, casting a somber gloom all over his face. He brought over nearly 80 of his elders, including the formidable Favian and two level eight paragons. In the end, many were injured, and he took it as a personal affront that Severin had killed another two of his paragon-level elders.Despite his unwillingness to concede, Clarkin found himself helpless to face with the situ
Another of the peak masters said, "However, I must add that we've now incurred the Gahrrs' unabated wrath because of you."Severin looked solemnly at the nine peak masters. "I will never forget the kindness that you've shown me today."Oskar gradually descended from the air and said calmly to him, "Since you're all right, I suppose you'll be able to return to Pearl Light Isle on your own then. I'll handle everything else here."With less than half a month remaining before the Starry Sky Battlespace, Oskar hoped that Severin could use that period to refine his attainment. Winning in the Starry Sky Battlespace might be too high an expectation, it was of paramount important that Severin must have a safe return. After all, Severin was a preparatory disciple of the Grandiuno Sacred Land—he held the potential to make history in Midland within a few years, especially once he managed a breakthrough to level five paragon."Thank you, Sect Leader," Severin responded earnestly. His smile fade
Clarkin had a gloomy and vicious expression as he left the Grandiuno Sect. He breathed heavily, gripped by anger and frustration. Even though he had mobilized all his paragon-level elders to the Grandiuno Sect and went with them to the battle, the outcome had dealt a severe blow to the Gahrrs's pride. Embers of fury raged within Clarkin as he let out a sky-piercing roar. "I'll remember this day, Oskar! I'll get my revenge on you eventually!"The similarly dour-faced Favian approached Clarkin and asked, "Sir, are we going to let Severin off just like that?" As the Gahrrs' Great Elder, Favian could not help but resonate with some of the anger and disrespect that the Gahrrs had experienced. He felt helpless to do anything about it for the simple fact that Oskar was stronger than all of them. Their only hope was Clarkin, but even he was no match for Oskar.Clarkin cocked an eyebrow and smiled sinisterly. "Not a chance! I won't let the deaths of our prodigy and our elders be in vain!" Tho
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
