Simeon's worst fear was that they might be implicated in a battle between prodigies. As Simoen withdrew his divine senses, a familiar energy within those weak waves caught his attention. After searching through his memories, he said, "Isn't that Severin?"Having exchanged blows with Severin prior to entering the Starry Sky Battlespace, Simeon recognized the distinctive fluctuations in Severin's aura. He had entered the Starry Sky Battlespace for one reason and one reason only—to ensure Severin's death. With that in mind, a surge of ruthless determination filled Simeon's eyes.He gazed at the nervous Tobias and said, "Severin is engaged in a battle several thousand miles away."Tobias's expression changed drastically. He gritted his teeth and urged Simeon, "We should head to the depths of the Starry Sky Battlespace first. Severin's combat prowess far surpasses ours, and those involved in the battle will be much stronger to us. We might be risking ourselves unnecessarily if we go over
Although Simeon was not clear why the evil practitioners were targeting Severin, he would root for Halbert as long as he could kill Severin. Only then would the burning hatred in his heart be appeased.Tobias could not help but shudder when he saw the crazed expression on Simeon's face. In fact, even before entering the Starry Sky Battlespace, Tobias was prepared. After all, the seventh-grade Breakthrough Pill of the Deifirm Sect was not so easily obtained.However, when it came to really facing Severin, Tobias could not help but feel scared and apprehensive. This was because, during the competition for the Wildfire royal paragon treasure in Artic Heights, Severin had left a deep fear in him.Tobias became even more horrified when he witnessed Severin, who was a level three paragon, actually engaging in a battle with a level five paragon. He could not shake off a vague sense of unease and wondered, 'Could he possibly win? No! That's impossible! Absolutely impossible!'Tobias quickl
It could be said that the number of prodigies in the entire Starry Sky Battlespace who possessed an elite-quality spiritual treasure did not exceed ten individuals! Sometimes the success or failure of a battle hinged on these elite-quality spiritual treasures.Given Severin's cultivation level then, he still found it quite strenuous to fully unleash the power within the elite-quality spiritual treasure he had.As a level three paragon, Severin could not control the elite-quality spiritual treasure for a long time. He was unable to achieve what a paragon cultivator could supposedly do, namely — shattering vast distances with a single strike.At best, he could only have the Flameless Pinnacle hovering above his head for defense and occasionally use it to strike opponents.It would be likely that a single strike would drain the spiritual energy from within his body, leaving him depleted, if he were to fully activate the true power of the elite-quality spiritual treasure. It was a dile
Above the battlefield, the battle between Severin and Halbert remained intense, but it was becoming gradually clear who had the upper hand.Halbert's attacks were fierce. The bone whip in his hand—mixed with the surrounding demonic energy—created a howling sound each time it whipped through the air, which unleashed numerous shockwaves and rifts in the surrounding void.Severin, however, found it harder and harder to defend himself, let alone put on an offense. He could only use the Flameless Pinnacle as a defensive treasure, placing it above his head for protection.Despite the formidable power of his True-Sun Fist technique, each explosive punch— resembling a brilliant sun—was swiftly engulfed and almost completely consumed by the vast demonic energy in front of Halbert.The sword beam unleashed by the Scarletsky Sword in Severin's hand was terrifying, sharp enough to cut through space, yet it was still blocked by Halbert's bone whip. After hundreds of exchanges, Severin's attac
After completing these actions, Halbert's expression turned solemn. He tightly gripped the Soul-Devouring Bone Whip which was flickering darkly, causing the aura of a level five paragon to erupt from his body.He then rushed towards the incoming Chaotic Swordshadow. His expression changed drastically the moment he made contact with the Chaotic Swordshadow, and he tried to retreat.In the next moment, a horrifying swordwill burst forth from the Chaotic Swordshadow. This chaotic swordwill, resembling the principles of the universe, surged with a majestic aura. Countless principles bombarded the purple cauldron above his head, creating a series of clashing sounds like a torrential downpour of lightning and thunder.The purple cauldron, which was a superior-quality spiritual treasure, endured the intense onslaught for only a few seconds. Cracks resembling porcelain spiderwebs began to appear on its surface, and finally, it exploded in the sky like a dazzling firework."How is this poss
Halbert was dead. The furious roar he let out before his death echoed for a long time across the sky.Severin breathed out a heavy sigh of relief after making sure the flame lotus had completely engulfed Halbert's body and extinguished his spiritual soul until there was no trace of him left."Phew. I finally got rid of him!"The intense battle had depleted Severin's spiritual energy significantly; if the battle had dragged on any longer, he might have found himself in a precarious situation.Despite having an elite-quality spiritual treasure, Severin did not dare to be overconfident in the face of Halbert's formidable strength, especially with his mysterious and powerful dark arts.Severin had to bring out all his trump cards to ensure his victory when fighting against a prodigy like Halbert.Fortunately, Halbert—perhaps accustomed to winning in battles—did not take Severin seriously. He was directly struck by the Chaotic Swordshadow, and his cultivation, lifespan, and cultivatio
These practitioners of the dark arts operated only on their self-interests, and some would have no moral qualms about sacrificing millions for the sake of mastering a certain technique.Halbert, as a core disciple of the Yellow Ghost Tribe's sacred land, undoubtedly possessed power far beyond his fellow sect members. His cultivation of level five paragon was considered to be superior to most prodigies who had entered the Starry Sky Battlespace.Yet, even with such power, he was still slain by Severin. How could Simeon not be shaken?Alongside the shock, there was a strong sense of resentment in Simeon's heart. He had initially believed that a core disciple of the Yellow Ghost Tribe's sacred land like Halbert could easily defeat Severin, only to be harshly proven wrong by reality.Simeon's face darkened when he saw Severin was still alive and well. At the same time, he was torn between whether to launch an attack at Severin when he was all tired out from an intense battle or let him
In the starry sky, Severin could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he sensed that the hidden spectators had all retreated. Using his divine sense, he scanned the area within dozens of miles to make sure that those people had indeed withdrawn before safely retracting Flameless Pinnacle.Looking at the mist of blood in the starry sky, Severin sighed. "Fortunately, I didn't use all of my spiritual energy in the battle with Halbert just now. Otherwise, things might have taken a turn for the worse this time."Severin had used two of his ultimate trump cards against Halbert. He managed to kill him by first unleashing the Chaotic Swordshadow and then Lotus Divine Attack.After the battle, he had to be vigilant against potential sneak attacks from those secretly observing nearby.Fortunately, Severin had prepared in advance, keeping some tricks up his sleeve. This allowed him to swiftly eliminate the level four paragon with a single sword strike.Severin took out several alchemic
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
