As the years passed and more individuals ventured into the Starry Ancient Palace, a great portion of its enigmas were already unveiled. One elusive opportunity remained—the legendary chance to ascend to immortality.Severin was able to glean some knowledge about that opportunity from the Starry Token and the jade slip left behind by Old Wacko. It was a droplet of a True Immortal's essence.Essence harbored an unimaginable power in the context of attainment. In moments of dire need, ordinary practitioners would often ignite their essence and employed escape techniques to evade pursuers. However, the essence of a true celestial held the very essence of celestial power, which were further suffused with the philosophical rules of the celestial realm. Mastering those laws were the key to becoming a celestial.It was precisely why countless prodigies over the years had been drawn to the irresistible prospect of becoming a celestial. Though supreme paragons had lifespans spanning ten thous
After withdrawing his gaze, Severin muttered to himself, "The final frenzy will soon be upon us."The True Immortal's essence marked the climax of that endeavor. Once obtained, everyone's journey through the Starry Sky Battlespace would draw to a close. The next entry into the realm would necessitate waiting another several centuries.Severin knew that his current perfect-stage level four paragon attainment would still be insufficient to face adversaries like Drake in a genuine life-or-death struggle. Furthermore, the Starry Ancient Palace teemed with prodigies beyond just people such as Drake and Wenzel—paragon heirs and divine heirs from the foremost forces of the Bleurealm would be present. Most boasted level seven paragon attainment, while a great many others reached the peak-stage level six. Vying for such coveted treasure amidst such formidable competition was akin to facing off against the combined might of the entire world.Even with elite-quality spiritual treasures Wildfir
"It's all wishful thinking on your end," someone remarked. Severin remained silent, as his attention was drawn to the lively discussion surrounding him. Alfie emanated a radiant aura, and his formidable presence commanded attention. Even the surrounding space seemed to be pushed on the brink of cracking.Severin glanced at the Floating Light Sacred Land's divine heir and took a deep breath before settling into a meditative stance. As time passed, more divine heirs from sacred lands and scions from aristocratic families arrived."That's the Kains' divine heir.""And isn't that Gresham from the Primordial Sacred Land?"There were nineteen prodigies in total, including representatives from Greatflare and Northsea.Among them, Severin spotted Francis accompanied by several of the Grandiuno Sacred Land's disciples. Acknowledging Severin's presence, Francis nodded to acknowledge Severin's presence, and Severin reciprocated in kind as well.All of a sudden, Gresham rose to address the c
Severin nodded subtly as Francis entered the formation. His gaze lingered on the disappearing figures of the prodigies before he redirected his attention elsewhere.The formation ahead permitted only those above level six paragon to enter. Anyone below that level would find themselves barred from entry. Despite Severin's formidable combat skills, he understood the formidable challenge. That would lay be before him. The competition among a dozen level seven paragons would undoubtedly be a clash of titans, and any practitioner lacking in strength might well face demise when they enter.Having decided not to enter, Severin glanced around and spotted a small palace hovering in the void several miles away. He made the immediate decision to set off toward it.With the competition for the True Immortal's essence expected to last over half a month, Severin felt that it would be a waste of time to just watch the battle. It would be much wiser to focus on mastering the Supreme Oneness Scriptu
The once tumultuous golden ocean within his energy core had receded by half its volume. Despite that reduction in size, the quality of his spiritual energy had surged significantly.Severin could discern the purity of each strand of his spiritual energy. Aside from the more solid foundation that he had as a result of his previous attainment, he also noticed a marked enhancement in his divine senses.Ordinarily, a level four paragon's divine senses could extend no more than 400 miles, but comprehending the Supreme Oneness Scripture allowed Severin to sense his perception expanding beyond that limit—nearing 500 miles.Furthermore, he observed his physical body strengthening further. His energy surged forth like that of a wolf, his skin became as resilient as a spiritual treasure, and his blood pulsed with the viscosity of mercury. Every one of his movements crackled with the potential to unleash immense power.As Severin marveled at those transformations, he exclaimed, "I would expec
As Severin gazed upon the shining golden characters in his mind, his entire face turned red with unprecedented excitement. He had initially resigned himself to forsaking the True Immortal's essence due to the fierce competition amongst the prodigies from various quarters. After all, a little under 20 people were vying for it! Severin was barely a level four paragon, and he knew that his strength fell short of those who were level seven paragons.Having resolved not to waste his time there, he swiftly redirected his focus to the Supreme Oneness Scripture. Little did he anticipate that another avenue of opportunity would soon present itself. The message passed down through the Supreme Oneness Scripture's paragon chapter as relayed by the Old Wacko describes how the restrictions placed upon the True Immortal's essence within the ancient palace. To obtain it, one must master the scripture to the paragon's threshold.With a deep breath to calm his racing heart, Severin muttered to himself
It was difficult for them to even breathe, as they felt that the very act of breathing became an arduous task. Their spiritual energy seemed to stagnate within them, hindering movement and causing their scalp to tingle. A chill seems to pierce through the very heavens."That's the Primordial Sacred Land's divine protective weapon!""Gasp! Gresham is a cunning one. None of us expected him to bring forth the divine protective weapon!""Didn't we agree to rely only on our own abilities in battle? Why is he employing external aids?!"The defeated adversaries erupted in frustration at the sight of Gresham brandishing the dark red spear. Many of them cursed under their breath when they realized the spear's extraordinary nature.The Primordial Sacred Land's Devastation Spear was a most precious protective divine weapon. Even the chosen ones among the paragon heirs of sacred lands would possess one or two top-quality spiritual treasures at most. Any more would be excessive, not to mention
After observing Alfie and Raven's reluctant expressions, Gresham remarked expressionlessly, "Good to know you won't be troubling yourself on this too much."He then turned around and strode into the ancient palace.Gresham and the Primordial Sacred Land had made thorough preparations to obtain the True Immortal's essence and secure the opportunity in the Starry Ancient Palace. In doing so, Gresham had mobilized the most valuable divine protective weapons of the sacred land. Victory was a long-awaited moment for him.As he neared the drop of True Immortal's essence suspended in the void, he sensed its powerful aura and the subtle shifts in the scriptures of philosophy. His face was rosy with excitement, and he took slow steps into the palace while being surrounded by the formidable power of the void's rules."Hahaha! I will secure the chance to become an immortal!" he declared triumphantly.Gresham's hands trembled with excitement as he stood before the True Immortal's essence and
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
