Severin's figure then turned into a streak of light as he vanished from where he was. Shortly after Severin's part left, a contingent clad in the Burkes attire showed up out of blue on the battleground where remnants of the spatial rifts lingered. The group numbered more than ten individuals, each exuding an aura as forceful as the towering mountains, with nearly all being level three or level four paragons.Particularly noteworthy was the young man leading them. The atmosphere surrounding him rivaled the expanse of a sea of clouds. The aura of his perfect-stage level five paragon attainment obliterated the residual elements in the surrounding battlefield.Clad in a resplendent black robe with golden silk-like threads forming cloud-like patterns, he donned a purplish-gold boots and possessed a rather dashing handsomeness. Those who laid eyes upon him would feel that his countenance resembled that of royalty. At that moment, however, he had a gloomy and downcast expression.When his
Deep in the Starry Sky Battlespace, two streaks of light streaked across the sky like a comet, surrounded by countless shimmering stars.More than half an hour had passed since Severin and Callie set off from the battlefield. During that time frame, they flew at full speed and covered a distance of several thousand miles. At long last, a bright planet gradually appeared not too far away.Severin gazed at the twinkling star before him and took out the treasure map to examine it carefully. After a few seconds, he joyfully informed Callie, "This should be the place marked on the treasure map."Callie winced a little when she heard that, despite initially brimming with. Though the treasure map was in Severin's possession, their cooperation required them to share the rewards reaped. Staying alive was far more important than obtaining the Lumigold, and the Burkes were hot on their heels in pursuit of them. If Callie were alone, obtaining the Lumigold marked on the treasure map might hav
Severin and Callie arrived at the canyon in a matter of seconds. Before them was a cavern roughly the size of a small mountain. Its surface was covered in a layer of blue ripples that obscured Severin's divine senses.Judging from the aura emanating from the restriction, Severin deduced that the Burkes' practitioner who set it up could not have been more than level eight paragon. Practitioners at such a level had begun comprehending the power of heaven and earth, wielding control over the rules of space. Though not as formidable as royal paragons, they could manipulate the void and navigate the through the black holes.However, their comprehension of the power of heaven and earth are still rudimentary, and any form of restriction or divine technique would still have to depend on their power.Severin could not figure out if it was possible to devise a strategy that could break the restriction, so he had to resort to sheer force as a temporary solution. Turning to Callie, he instructe
As the Burkes traced the aura through the starry sky, they soon witnessed the sudden unfolding of an extraordinary celestial display. They were overwhelmed with astonishment as they realized the phenomenon heralded the birth of Lumigold. Gerry, the leader, looked even more agitated at that moment, not out of concern that Severin and his party might arrive first, but because he feared that the celestial spectacle would draw the attention of other prodigies.Haunted by past experiences where the Burkes's past generation of disciples had perished while competing for Lumigold against other prodigies, he shouted, "Quick! We need to secure the Lumigold before other people do!"A sense of urgency swept across them as they released their spiritual power and raced toward the phenomenon in the sky. After Severin crossed the threshold of the restricted area, he discovered a vast cave that had been seemingly hand-carved and furnished with stone benches and tables. The cave, though not expansive,
For the record, eighth-grade herbs are treasured by royal paragons for crafting eighth-grade pills! Callie's awe was a natural reaction. The energy contained in those three red fruits could enable Severin to make a breakthrough to level four or even level five paragon without any side effects. When refined into a pill, it could become the Paragonhood Pill, which was crucial for level nine paragons attempting to break through to royal paragon, as the success rate would be increased by thirty percent! The significance of such a boost was immense, even for practitioners at level nine paragon.Despite that thirty percent increase however, the barrier of the royal paragon still eluded many people, and countless practitioners remained in a perpetual state of stagnation throughout their lives. As a result, a thirty percent increase in success rate was considered to be very valuable already. Even Severin, who was well-versed in the intricacies of spiritual treasures, could not conceal his ecs
After observing Callie placing her items for safekeeping, Severin did the same and placed three red fruits within a box before putting it away in his bag. Severin's gaze lingered on the spatial ring as he put everything away, and his glee was evident from his smile.His foray into the Starry Sky Battlespace had yielded some metal Uru, followed by the absorption of Lunar Dew which elevating his attainment to perfect-stage level three attainment. Subsequently, he acquired eight-grade herbs such as the Silver Moon Grass. Finally, he stumbled upon a fist-sized chunk of Lumigold along with three eight-grade Ruby Spiritual Fruits!Severin harbored confidence in using the two eighth-grade pills to propel him to the realm of the royal paragon within five years. The fist-sized Lumigold, when combined with Sky-Soil Zenith, might well elevate Severin's elite-quality spiritual treasure into a divine protective weapon.Divine protective weapons were rare items. Only supreme paragons or sects in
Callie deftly manipulated the ribbon in her hand and lashed it toward the Burke disciple who was closest to her. In an instant, the ribbon transformed into a surge of energy, streaking across the void and unleashing elemental energy throughout its path.In a quick exchange of blows, she swiftly dispatched several Burkes who cornered her. However, the Burkes continued to close in from both sides. Their leader, Gerry, wore a gloomy expression as he addressed Severin. "Hand over the treasure or I'll your life right here."Surrounded with no other escape route, Severin gripped the Scarletsky Sword and Green Shield. He covertly activated his trump cards—the Chaotic Swordshadow and the Lotus Divine Attack—as he faced Gerry and warned sternly, "Leave if you don't want to die!"Gerry's face darkened in anger. As a disciple of the Burkes and a prodigy of one Eastplain's eight great families, few would dare to disrespect him like that, much less subject him to such humiliation. Gerry's face b
Screams echoed across the sky, and about five or six of the Burkes' members were severely injured and had to be sent flying. Though no one died, the unexpected turn of events left Gerry visibly taken aback, as his intention had been to swiftly overwhelm the duo.The intensity in his glare betrayed his anger. Gerry did not expect that a mere level three paragon like Severin could pose such a huge threat to a level five paragon. Generally speaking, those who entered the Starry Sky Battlespace were nearly always considered prodigies in the Bleurealm—that was defined as individuals capable of achieving near invincibility as well as transcending levels in combat.However, even prodigies faced limits to advancement, especially within the level of paragon where the gap between each stage of a level was a vast chasm. Overpowering higher level opponents were much easier at the attainment of a supreme saint, but that was no longer the case when one reached paragonhood.The display of Severin'
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
