Although Blake's strength had diminished to sixty percent of its peak, his attack was still stronger than an ordinary level three paragon. Though Severin was able to use the Green Shield to resist, the impact had pushed him a dozen steps back. Fortunately, Severin was able to endure it due to the robustness of the superior-grade spiritual treasure that was further bolstered by his solid foundation.The ease with which Severin withstood the assault elicited a frown from Blake. A murderous glint then appeared in his eyes as he remarked coldly, "Is this superior-quality defensive spiritual treasure your trump card?"It was rather noteworthy that a level three paragon like Severin would possess such a spiritual treasure, especially a defensive one. Many of the level four and level five paragons did not necessarily boast such an item.Defensive superior-quality spiritual treasures were rare—they were generally reserved for elites of major families, sacred disciples of sacred lands, or el
In response to Blake's stunned expression, Severin said, "Nothing is impossible."Severin's physical body had undergone special tempering, and he was already able to transcend levels since the time when he was still a supreme saint! Armed with the Book of True Void Enlightenment and the exercises he had obtained from Wildfire's ruins, he was later able to focus on honing the power of energy and blood.When he made the breakthrough to paragon, Severin utilized his body as a vessel to traverse the sea of suffering. In that way, the power of energy and blood—which could be likened to a furnace of heaven and earth—stirred his primal spirit and allowed him to connect with the power of heaven and earth.Wildfire was a renowned figure in Southsky thousands of years ago. He possessed an invincible presence with a powerful physical body and the magical power of the Wildfire Lotus. Even the neighboring Westregion and the royal paragons of Midland were unmatched by Wildfire's abilities. Were i
Bloodline power was the only vessel that could contain ancestral skills and divine techniques of major families that had ascended to the higher realm. It was unmatched by sacred lands in Southsky, Midland and other regions. Though some founders of sacred land sects succeeded in becoming a celestial, it was essentially not possible to pass down their bloodline's power.Possessing the bloodline power of a celestial allowed one to draw on the magical prowess during critical moments, creating an unprecedented capability to secure victory against a prodigy of the same level. For it was Severin's first time encountering someone with bloodline power. His muscles tensed immediately, and his expression turned alert.Elron gathered his bloodline power, and Severin's reaction elicited a sneer. "Feeling scared now? Well, it's too late for that!"Determined to end Severin's life, Blake spared no expense as he utilized his bloodline power and ancestral divine abilities to execute a deadly strike.
Blake never would have thought that a practitioner who was obviously inferior to him could possess such a spiritual treasure. Only royal paragons would be able to wield an elite-quality spiritual treasure. Even though he was the Menzies' scion, he had yet to acquire an elite-quality spiritual treasure and was still relying on superior-quality ones. Blake's astonishment was beyond words—his eyes widened, and shock was etched across his face.An elite-quality spiritual treasure bestowed formidable combat prowess upon paragons. Though Blake was a level five paragon who could briefly elevate his spiritual energy to level six after activating his celestial bloodline, the exchange of blows that he had with Severin had demonstrated the latter's unexpected strength, robust physique, and possession of elite-quality spiritual treasure.Weakened by his previous battle with Elron, Blake had to face Severin and the elite-quality spiritual treasure. The option of retreating seemed a reasonable pro
Karl only managed to survive against a perfect-stage level four paragon like Zeb by leveraging on his extensive experience from fighting royal paragons in his previous life. That had allowed him to push the boundaries of survival.Lucky as he may be in narrowly escaping death, Karl still bore severe injuries. As he observed the situation unfold, he realized that it was futile to remain there. The meteorite belt's opportunities would remain inaccessible to him regardless of whether Severin or the two Menzie prodigies secured victory. Opting to leave and preserve his life, Karl cast an angry glare at Severin before vanishing into the starry expanse in a stream of light.Karl's departure went unnoticed amid the intensity within the meteorite belt. A small mountain-sized peak hovered above Severin, emanating sky and soil energy that pounded against the surrounding space.After witnessing Severin's imposing stature and majestic aura, Blake gasped as a glimmer of light appeared in his eye
Zeb became anxious as he observed Blake's intention to relinquish the metal Uru to Severin. "But…" he protested begrudgingly."No buts. We're leaving!" Blake interrupted Zeb with a stern rebuke.As Blake spoke, his aura once again regressed to the initial-stage level five paragon. The adverse effects of forcibly enhancing his power through his bloodline power were becoming more pronounced. Even with his activated bloodline power, he was barely able to withstand the clash with Severin, as the latter was armed with an elite-quality spiritual treasure. Blake's waning strength and the severe injuries he incurred rendered a prolonged confrontation meaningless. Stay too long and he might meet his end in the confrontation.As they say, one could lose the battle and still win the war. Besides, it was just some metal Uru. Despite its rarity, the Menzies were a venerable bloodline that had produced true celestials, thus allowing them to stand on par with many of the major scared lands. Having
In less than half a day, Severin's portrait became the talk of the entire Starry Sky Battlespace.On a large and life-rich planet deep within the cosmic expanse sat a level seven paragon. He was a young man dressed in a silver robe. Cloud patterns made of golden silk were embroidered on the silver robes. He had just withdrawn his divine senses from the jade slip on his waist.Beside him stood two Menzie disciples, one of whom were relaying the recent events. "According to the Third Young Master's report, the Seventh Young Master has encountered a meteorite belt with metal Uru and engaged in a battle with the Greatflare's Ninth Prince. After that came a clash with the man depicted in the portrait, which resulted in the Seventh's defeat."Upon hearing that, the young man in the silver robe sneered. "His temper is the same as always. He's trying to use the Menzies' support to build momentum for a vendetta, which is causing quite a stir throughout the Starry Sky Battlespace."One of th
Within that meteorite belt, Severin was still unaware that Blake had spread his portrait and the information of his elite-quality spiritual treasure to the masses. Most of the prodigies in the Starry Sky Battlespace were aware of the situation. Upon learning that Severin's attainment was merely a level three paragon, many rushed to the meteorite belt as they believed that the elite-quality spiritual treasure in Severin's hands was an easy picking.Severin exhaled heavily and opened his eyes, revealing a glint in his pupils. His injuries had almost fully healed after the brief respite. As he stood up and directed his gaze on the meteorite belt not far ahead, a smile graced the corners of his mouth."I should gather all this metal Uru as soon as possible and then proceed to the next location!" Severin muttered to himself before swiftly retrieving the Heavenly Cauldron from his spatial ring. The cauldron grew to the size of a small hill. Severin raised his hand toward a meteorite that w
