Therefore, the two-stars assassin was quite a powerful person. He believed it was a piece of cake to kill Severin when Severin was off-guard.However, he had underestimated Severin. When the dagger was about to pierce Severin's back, Severin used the back of his hand to grab the assassin's hand tightly."Ah—!" The assassin shouted out in pain when that happened. The dagger dropped to the floor. Even a professional assassin like him could not endure the pain when the bone was about to break."Bang!"It was followed by a kick from Severin. He kicked the assassin so hard that the assassin ended up lying on the floor with blood flowing out of his mouth.Severin walked over and used his leg to step on the assassin's chest. "Spill it! Who sent you?""Hmph!" The assassin snorted. Blood was flowing out from his mouth. He bit his tongue and killed himself."Very professional!" Severin looked at the dead assassin with desperation as if he had expected the outcome. He smiled coldly and wal
Upon hearing it, Jada sighed. "Sigh. We shouldn't think about saving the money. We hired a two-stars assassin because we wanted to save. Look now. We have spent the money and Severin is still alive!"She recalled how she got slapped in the face and was asked to kneel down and apologize. Hatred had consumed her heart and she very much wanted Severin dead."Yes, yes, yes. Miss Jada is right. You shouldn't save money when you want to hire an assassin. Otherwise, it's just going to be a waste of money!" Edward nodded and said, "Oh. I got some good news for you guys. The killer organization is having a tenth-year anniversary. So after the discount, you can hire a four-stars assassin with the cost of the three-stars assassin.""Seriously?" Instantly, Easton felt spirited. If that was the case, it was quite reasonable and affordable."Yes. With three million dollars you can now hire a four-stars assassin. It's worth it. So why don't we just hire a four-star assassin this time?" Edward per
Jada, however, immediately said to Edward, "We've already paid so much money, Edward. Shouldn't it be okay for us to meet this assassin? We want to know if they're up to the job!"Easton immediately agreed. "Yeah, Edward! Let us meet the assassin. We'll feel more reassured that way!""Are you both saying that you doubt the abilities of a four stars assassin?" Edward frowned and asked coldly."No, not at all! It's just…the money we paid is no small amount, and I don't think it's that big of a deal to meet the assassin since we're employing them anyway," Jada protested.Their determination left Edward with no choice but to acquiesce. "Okay, okay. I'll make arrangements and contact you once he arrives!""Thanks for your trouble!" Jada smiled.After finishing their meal, they handed Edward the money to hire the assassin and left. When they were all gone, Edward immediately requested the presence of the bodyguard who was in charge of contacting the organization. "Hey, Kai. How much di
"But, Maurice…Severin hired the bodyguards for our own good. I'm not used to it either, but we both need to slowly learn to get used to it, okay?" Judith advised. "Severin would be worried if we don't have any bodyguards by our side. Didn't we always get bullied by Easton's people when they were sent to collect money from us? We don't have to be so scared anymore now that we have bodyguards with us!""Sigh, but it still feels so foreign to me!" Maurice could not help but sigh. He was a little speechless, after all, because it was very awkward to have two young and beautiful women accompanying him all the time."Okay, if you're still uncomfortable with it, then I'll hire some male bodyguards to protect you. That should be okay with you, right?" Severin could not help suggesting with a smile when he saw his father's uneasiness."But isn't that an even bigger waste of money?" After giving some consideration to Severin's idea, Maurice felt that it would be such a shame to spend extra mo
Frankie could not help but nod with satisfaction when he heard that. "Well done on your part, Carmen. We shall act tomorrow morning then. The conclusion of the opening ceremony is when their guard will be down, and when the time comes, the two of you will get a chance to practice your skills on that kid. Attack him simultaneously from left and right, and end his life right that instant. If he ends up overpowering the two of you, then I'll take matters into my own hands."Carmen and Leonard nodded with some excitement when they heard that.After all, they had been itching to find a worthy opponent to practice their abilities on after they reached a breakthrough in their training to the level of grandmaster. At long last, the chance that they had been waiting so long for finally came.The three of them got into the car, with Leonard getting into the driver's seat while Carmen and Frankie sat in the rear seat. Frankie had drunk some wine earlier, and he could not help but ogle at Carme
Victor, the head of the Stones, turned blue with anger when he thought of what happened the other day. He asked coldly, "I wonder whether Severin is still treating Larry's mother. Larry will have no use for him if his mother's illness has been cured. When that day comes, we'll just have our family's strongest bodyguards end Severin's life!"After a pause, Victor continued, "He may be powerful, but I'm confident he won't be able to go up against a lot of people. I don't think he'll even survive if we get more than two hundred of our people to attack him at once!"However, Jada smiled coldly. "There's no point, Dad. He's so powerful that we'd stand to lose many of our bodyguards even if they eventually manage to kill him. There's no need for that." After thinking about it, she said again, "Besides, didn't you always teach me we should always use money to solve problems that can be solved with money? Edward and I have already hired an assassin. We can just sit back and relax because his
Stanley was speechless for a moment. "What are you trying to imply, Severin? Why did you look at me at sigh?""I can see that your health is getting worse. Your face is a little pale, and you're physically weak too. Try to cut down on the time you spend at hotels and with women, or else your body will give way soon!" Having given that advice, Severin made a point to add, "By the way, you're aware that I have medical skills, right? Would you like me to prescribe some herbal supplements for you?""Hell no! I know my body well, and it's not weak!" Stanley gritted his teeth angrily and shot back, but in truth, he was a little worried because Severin's observations had been spot-on. He recently realized that he could not last as long in bed anymore, only a few minutes at most, and felt ashamed when Severin pointed that out.Although the rest of the Shanahans did not make any comments, they looked at Stanley somewhat oddly because they knew that Severin's medical skills were indeed good.
"Hehe, is that so? I'll keep my eyes peeled then!" Edward chuckled, but there was an underlying expression in his gaze. By his estimation, Diane would soon be his because Severin's days were numbered! Therefore, he viewed Severin's comments as nothing but a big fat joke."Haha, make sure you watch closely!" Severin laughed and did not take Edward seriously at all.Edward's lips twitched violently several times and he could only grit his teeth and say, "You should watch your step." He then turned to Diane and said, "Now's not too late for you to back out of your relationship with him. You'll regret it if you don't!" He left her a harsh reminder and then turned around and left without looking back.Over at the other end, the Chavezes had arrived too. When Rufus saw Severin, he gritted his teeth angrily and his face turned blue when he thought of the humiliation that he suffered a day ago. Manuel noticed his son's dampened mood and could not help but say, "How long has it been since th
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
