At that moment, the other Burke practitioners who were busy engaging Callie in combat were stunned to witness Gerry's instantaneous demise. After a momentary shock, the ten or so members immediately had reddened eyes as thunderous roars erupted from their mouths."Young Master!""Young Master"Gerry's sudden death instilled a newfound wariness among them, and they hesitated to continue cornering Callie. Despite their numerical advantage, Severin's strength seemed to deter them from approaching.At the same time, Callie was displaying signs of fatigue after bearing the brunt of their assault. Her aura was a faltering, and she seemed rather pitiful. Endured an onslaught from a dozen similar-level practitioners was no easy feat.Just as Callie was starting to struggle, she sensed Severin dealing with Gerry almost too quickly. Callie's eyes widened, and her mouth was agape as disbelief etched across her face.Callie gasped in awe, realizing that Severin had eliminated a level five pa
The first to grace the battlefield was Eastplain's Menzies, led by Blake. Menzie had learned a harsh lesson from his previous encounter with Severin. Determined to make amends, he tirelessly scoured the starry sky for opportunities, venturing deep into its reaches. As fate would have it, he was on the verge of exploring the inner realms of the starry sky when he witnessed the peculiar phenomenon unfolding in the sky.Captivated by the scene, Blake instinctively recognized it as the birth of a treasure. Without wasting anymore time, he rallied several of the Menzies' disciples and hastened toward the source.As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, Blake glanced at the Burkes in surprise and curiosity. The Burkes's presence had caught him off guard, and their somber expressions was a tell-tale sign that they had lost the coveted treasure. A pang of curiosity tugged at him, and he wondered if some unforeseen event had occurred.As things came to a standstill, Blake hovered in the voi
Upon hearing the details from each person, Blake suddenly felt a twinge of pain in his head. He took a deep breath and adopted a more serious tone. "I'm not in the mood to hear all those insignificant details. I want to know the name of the person who did it!"The Burkes were left stumped by his question. They knew not of Callie's name despite their relentless pursuit of her, and Severin's intervention ended up becoming a muddling the situation further. None of them knew who Severin was.Observing the hesitancy among the Burkes' disciples, Blake was starting to realize that none of them knew who Gerry's killer was. That was his first time feeling that the Burkes were as useless as those second-rate forces.Frustration crept in, and Blake could only patiently press on for answers. As details began to trickle in, Blake became even more confused. He thought to himself, 'How could a level five paragon like Gerry be killed instantly by a level three familiar. They say that the person's n
By his estimation, the presence of a level five paragon like Blake left zero chance for the three of them to lay hands on any treasure.At that moment, Simeon had been paying much attention on the field and was observing the exchange between Blake and the Burkes. Sensing that something was not quite right, he frowned and remarked, "It doesn't seem like the Menzies were able to secure the treasure either."Simeon's words instantly lifted Karl's spirits. He subtly extended his consciousness and eavesdropped on the conversation between Blake and the Burkes."A level three paragon killed Gerry?!" Karl was astonished by what he overheard. "How is that even possible for anyone to transcend two levels?"Transcending two levels to kill a level five paragon was incredibly are, even in Karl's previous life. Only the most exceptional individuals could achieve such feats. If such a person lived on, it was entirely possible for them to make a breakthrough to supreme paragon and perhaps even bec
Far from the battlefield, Blake's resounding roar made Simeon's face turn pale. The revelation that someone had snatched the treasure from the Burkes's prodigy and killed Gerry gave him and the other two the idea that befriending such an individual would be help greatly in their quest.In their eyes, Severin could not have been able to measure up to that person, and that powerhouse of an individual could likely end Severin's life and spare them from any future troubles.Alas, a swift turn of events revealed that the very person who seized the treasure and killed Gerry was none other than Severin! It was a huge slap in the face, and Simeon's complexion burned with the sting of that revelation.Simeon's face turned somber, and he was practically shedding metaphorical tears of frustration. He seethed to himself. "Why does it always have to be Severin!"Karl maintained a level of composure. His anger was not as intense as Simeon's, but he sneered and remarked, "Hehe. First, he offended
It went without saying that the vast celestial expanse which harbored the scriptures of philosophy from true celestials was precisely where many prodigies rose higher realms.Over at the fringes of the Big Dipper, a colossal silver flying vessel hovered silently above the planet. Emblazoned on the sail of that ethereal vessel—which resembled a spiritual treasure—was the conspicuous word 'BURKE'. That should be enough to explain whom that flying vessel belonged to.Seated cross-legged on the bow of the vessel was a lean-figured man of towering stature. Clad in a purple robe adorned with greenish patterns, a verdant jade belt secured the robe's hems up to his waist. The tassels danced freely in the wind. White deerskin boots graced his feet. His overall being exuded a rather extraordinary aura.A tidy bun crowned his head, secured by an intricate white crown. A purple-gold hairpin fastened his hair within the jade crown, and a closer inspection revealed that his skin was incredibly fa
On a planet that was full of yellow sand flying around, the entire planet was covered with a dense wormhole.Nine Heavens Gale blew out from the wormholes, sweeping the yellow sand high into the sky. Under the extremely high wind speed, every grain of the yellow sand was like an arrow piercing through the sky, shattering everything in its way. Under such a harsh environment, even a superior-quality spiritual treasure would not be able to withstand such a situation there for a very long time. The spiritual treasure would be damaged by the violent yellow sand under the Nine Heavens Gale and eventually turned into an ordinary weapon.At that moment, a monk wearing a red robe with golden auspicious clouds embroidered, was walking slowly in the desert. Step by step, he looked as if the harsh environment around him had no effect on him at all. The person's body was releasing strong spiritual energy. His bronze-colored body looked strong and well-built. His muscles binded together like stro
After all, the Grandiuno Sect was a sect belonging to Grandiuno Sacred Land. Before stepping into the Starry Sky Battlespace, the Sacred Land elders reminded them to be extra cautious if they were to meet him at the Starry Sky Battlespace.After all, Severin had become the core disciple of Grandiuno Sacred Land after winning the tournament.More often than not, people who came from a remote place tend to have exceptional talents. He might even be in the opportunity to compete for the saintmen position in the future.Francis turned around and looked at the people beside him as he said, "Beheading a fifth-level paragon when he is only a third-level paragon, it seems that our new junior brother is very powerful indeed."The people standing beside him were all the five major sequences of Grandiuno Sacred Land at that time.Among them, a well built young man, with a cultivation level of sixth-level paragon, sneered, "Haha, don't celebrate too early. I think this person does not know h
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
