After Ulva's presence betrayed him, he raised his hand and produced a spear enveloped in black lightning. This superior-quality spiritual treasure exuded a menacing aura. It was adorned by a bloodthirsty glow, as well as the anguished cries of countless innocent souls. Ulva, a gold-medal assassin of Greatflare's assassin organization known as Dragnet Association, was able to showcase his remarkable talent after honing his skills for thirty years.However, the significant resources required for advancement in the Greatflare were monopolized by Greatflare's royals. Despite his exceptional abilities, Ulva had been entangled in conflicts with the royals and found himself stripped of these resources.He had entered the Starry Sky Battlespace in the hopes of discovering new opportunities, and was immediately drawn to the aftermath of a battle upon his arrival. While he was exploring the meteorite belt, he observed Severin engaging in combat with a galaxy monster. The sight of several spiri
Rumors abound that the ancient families of Eastplain were driven to tame monsters in ancient eras where the human race grappled with inferior martial skills and had to vie for dominance against other formidable races. It was not until the continued rise of the human race and the efforts of past generations that higher-grade techniques emerged, rendering the control of ferocious monsters obsolete. Only the venerable aristocratic families of Eastplain and certain other regions on the border with Greatflare still clung tightly to those practices.Ulva's face curled into a sneer when he realized that Severin saw through his technique. "Ah, so you recognize the situation you're in then. In that case, relinquish the spiritual treasure and metal Uru. I might spare your life if you do so. Refuse, and you'll be fodder for my dragon!"Severin licked his lips with anticipation and gazed at Ulva with fiery eyes. Though he initially assumed that his foe was a run-of-the-mill treasure-robbing prac
"My friend! This is but a misunderstanding!" Ulva exclaimed, and the remnants of his soul made a swift retreat and plunged into the body of the silver dragon. The once frenzied creature was now under the control of Ulva's soul. It cast a terrified look at Severin with eyes that seemed to portray the strongest sense of fear. Without further ado, it tore into the void and took off in a last-ditch attempt to escape.Paragon-level practitioners were not easily dealt with, as survival secrets were usually part of their arsenal. Moreover, those who ventured into the Starry Sky Battlespace were the prodigies from all states.Ulva's attempt at escape elicited a sneer from Severin. "Thinking of running? I never said you could leave, did I?"Following that statement, the Scarletsky Sword in Severin's grip erupted in a brilliant light and unleashed a formidable sword light. The very fabric of space shattered wherever the sword light passed through, and elements began to spring forth from the r
Severin raised his hand in a graceful gesture drew Ulva's spatial ring closer. Severin then looked at the dragon's corpse and waved his hand to produce the Heavenly Cauldron.The dragon's lifeless form was swiftly drawn into the Heavenly Cauldron, and it did not take long for Severin to condense several strong pills from the dragon's vitality and blood. As he looked at the pills emerging from the furnace, Severin muttered to himself, "At least they're good enough to replenish my energy and blood."Though Ulva's spiritual pet was not exceptionally powerful, it was nonetheless equivalent to a level one human paragon. The pills that the refined from the dragon's essence were effective in restoring his power and blood to some extent. However, as Severin's physical body was already comparable to that of a superior-quality spiritual treasure, the pills were thus less impactful on him.After stowing away the pills, Severin turned to the galaxy monster's carcass. He stored the carcass into
After absorbing the knowledge of the Void Concealment, Severin's eyes lit up and and a smile graced his lips."These spoils are pretty remarkable!" His face beamed with joy as he carefully stowed away the manual. The technique was used for covert assassinations, which explained why Ulva was brave enough to target him. After all, even high-level practitioners feared close-range combat, and the Void Concealment kept the practitioner hidden as well as masked their aura. Severin found those points to be incredibly useful.In the vast expanse of the Starry Sky Battlespace, prodigies were everywhere and dangers lurked in every corner. The Nine Heavens Gale and black holes occasionally swept through, while ominous galaxy monsters observed eagerly. It was important to be cautious every step of the way.Mastering the Void Concealment promised more than just survival—it meant heightened success in acquiring treasures and escaping adversity. Severin marveled at how useful it was and muttered t
Severin estimated that it would take thousands of years for the dew to condense from moonlight and form. He shed his clothes without hesitation and immersed himself in the water.As his skin came into contact with the cold Lunar Dew, a strong life essence swept through his body. Pure vitality washed over him, erasing even the smallest of bodily scars. At that moment, Severin began channeling his energy within him to absorb the power of the moon and stars. He also took the opportunity to train and draw upon the Void Concealment he had acquired earlier. Aided by the treasured Lunar Dew, he could sense himself mystically comprehending the Void Concealment that unfolded within him.His mind and soul seemed to receive clarity, as if connecting with the profound rules of the great way. Scriptures unveiled in his mind, laying themselves bare.At that moment, a fierce swordwill erupted from Severin's body and exuded a terrifying aura. Thunderbolts enveloped him, and a celestial glow began t
Feeling the surge in strength, Severin brimmed with joy and grew more confident about his exploration of the Starry Sky Battlespace. He lifted his head to survey the surroundings, noticing that the pool water now bore no trace of its former sparkling power of the moon and stars. Every drop of Lunar Dew in the pool had been absorbed by Severin.As Severin rose from the pool, he swung his arm and saw the awe-inspiring power of blood and energy ascending into the sky. It carried a formidable physical power that shattered the void in front of him. One swing seemed to carry several thousand pounds of weight, and it was powerful enough to reduce the void to powder. Such tremendous power—if unleashed against an opponent on the same level as he was—could quite possibly kill them.Severin believed that a single punch from him would be enough to defeat a foe whose maximum strength was at level four paragon, even if the foe was a talented and strong individual. In combination with his magical p
According to Karl's original plan, securing first place in the tournament and acquiring the quota to travel to the Grandiuno Sacred Land was only the first part of his goal. Leveraging his past experiences in the Starry Sky Battlespace and his familiarity with the dangers lurking within, Karl intended to gain a head start on those coveted opportunities. The strategic advantage would propel him to level five paragon, thus paving the way for his journey to Midland.However, Severin's sudden rise to fame shattered Karl's well-laid plans. The disruption fueled Karl's resentment and disdain for Severin, intensifying his resolve for future confrontation. Karl thought to himself, 'Damn you, Severin! Once I reach level five paragon, I'll settle scores with you right here in the Starry Sky Battlespace!'The animosity ran so deep that Severin's demise was no longer enough to quell the hatred stirring within him. With that in mind, Karl hastened his flight towards the planet. Moments later, he
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
