Everyone who entered the Starry Sky Battlespace—Tobias included—understood just how important it was to secure the opportunity that would make them an immortal.The enigmatic practitioner from centuries past had seized such a chance and became a celestial immortal within a few decades. With Severin obtaining the True Immortal's essence, Tobias could envision Severin following a similar path, perhaps ascending within a century. As Tobias recalled his past altercations with Severin, he felt as though an invisible hand stopped his beating heart and caused the color from his face to drain.Elsewhere, Callie and Spencer wore expressions of disbelief with their mouths agape as they gazed at Severin. They never imagined that Severin would be granted the opportunity to become an immortal. After a moment of shock, they quickly composed themselves and noticed Gresham and the other powerhouses hastening toward Severin's location.Callie's beautiful eyes gleamed with astonishment as she regaine
At that pivotal moment, everyone's expression changed slightly as they felt a surge of stellar power enveloping their bodies. They recognized that their journey in the Starry Sky Battlespace was nearing its end, and they would soon be whisked back by the stellar energy to return via the same way that they came. It was a sobering fact that the next opportunity to venture into the Starry Sky Battlespace was possibly several centuries away.Gresham, whose body radiated with infinite celestial light, glanced at Severin fiercely and had a reluctant expression. "You've snatched away the opportunity that was meant to be mine, and I shall never rest until I end your life!"Then, the stellar power enveloped Gresham, whisking him away into the void. "I'm not done here!" he roared. His departure signaled the start of a mass exodus, as more practitioners around Severin began vanishing one after another before being drawn into the celestial currents.Francis, representing the Grandiuno Sacred La
After successfully assimilating the True Immortal's essence, Severin harnessed its power to summon the divine chain of order from the void and confront the profound laws of heaven and earth. While Severin's current level of attainment was still not enough for him to have direct enlightenment of his path, his comprehension of those cosmic laws would allow him significant benefits for his future journey. The enlightenment was brief, and the divine chain of order only emerged because the True Immortal's essence tore open the void after he earned its favor.As a level four paragon, Severin found it nearly impossible to fully grasp the intricacies of the Divine Chain of Order's rules. After lingering in the silent void for over half an hour, Severin recognized that his abilities were limited. Continuing to stay would only risk being consumed by the unforgiving black holes and Nine Heavens Gale.With resolve, he activated the essence within him and allowed the stellar power to envelop him.
Simeon and Karl remained shaken by Severin's unexpected opportunity to become an immortal. Oskar could not help but breathe a sigh of relief as he witnessed his disciples safely withdrawing from the void. As the leader of the Grandiuno Sect, Oskar was acutely aware of the perils within the Starry Sky Battlespace, which—for all its allure of treasures and opportunities—was like a minefield that claimed the lives of many prodigies across Bleurealm.A prodigy who made no growth whilst in there could never be considered a prodigy at all, and Oskar had encountered too many instances where promising talents met untimely ends. The return of his three top prodigies brought relief, and with two out of three of his sect's prodigies safely returned, the Grandiuno Sect appeared relatively strong compared to others like the Purevoid and Marvair Sects, who had sent out two disciples but only received one back.Jason, the leader of the Deifirm Sect, shared a similar sentiment. Simeon, his only son
He had invested a significant amount of effort into Severin and held high hopes for him. Winning first place in the competition had elevated Severin to the rank of preparatory disciple at Midland's Grandiuno Sacred Land, guaranteeing his entry. With that, Severin's potential seemed boundless and no longer confined to the limitations of Southsky. It was only a matter of time before he transformed from a small fry to a shark.Oskar's optimism took a hit when Severin had yet to emerge from the Starry Sky Battlespace. He began to fear that the worst had transpired.After noticing Oskar's distress, figures from other factions such as the Jason, Lewys, and Cecily noted observed Severin's absence too."Why hasn't your Grandiuno Sect disciple emerged yet? Could some disaster have happened?" Jason queried with a smirk.All signs seemed to point toward the possibility that Severin was in trouble. Jason speculated that Simeon and Tobias had succeeded in ending Severin's life within the battle
In the vicinity, Cecily of the Marvair Sect extended condolences to Oskar. "My heartfelt sympathies."High atop the mountain, the portal had begun its slow closure, and no one would be expected to emerge from its depths anytime soon. Be her reckoning, the likelihood of Severin's demise was notably high.When Oskar saw the unwavering conviction of Severin's fall among those gathered there, even Oskar found himself swayed by their remarks. Roman and the others were only speaking the facts—that much, he acknowledged.The prodigies that entered the Starry Sky Battlespace represented the pinnacle of power in Bleurealm, boasting figures like the paragon heirs and divine heirs. In Southsky, Severin stood as one of the strongest within the younger generation. Yet, his standing in the Starry Sky Battlespace was but anyone's guess.'Could Severin have met his demise?' Oskar pondered grimly. The situation appeared increasingly difficult to accept.Jason glanced at Oskar's incredulous express
With that confirmation, the royal paragons present there could no longer contain their astonishment.Jason found that revelation most difficult to accept. He had presumed Severin's demise after the latter's failure to emerge from the Starry Sky Battlespace, but reality was anything but. It was much worse than he had initially imagined, as he had been told that Severin had secured the opportunity! He shook his head vigorously, and his eyes widened almost to the point of bulging out, "Impossible! There are so many prodigies vying for that within the Starry Sky Battlespace. How did Severin manage to get his hands on it?"Roman glanced at Simeon and Karl before warning sternly, "This isn't the time for jokes. Please explain how that came to be."Beside him, Cecily's sharp eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. Before she could voice her thoughts, her disciple Callie stood up and said, "We've all witnessed it firsthand. Severin was the one who had been granted the chance to become an im
"This boy has outstanding talent among the younger generation in Southsky. Now that he has the opportunity to ascend to immortality, he will have a bright future." Jason's face was ashen as he thought. If he and Severin had not become enemies, he might merely regret it like Roman and others. They regretted not including Severin as a disciple at the sacred lake. However, now that Deifirm Sect and Severin had a beef, Jason felt vaguely uneasy about the future.While he felt the regret, he also had boundless murderous intent. Jason was afraid that Severin would come back to seek vengeance when he grew up in the future."The threat must be nipped in the bud!" Jason raised his head and looked at Lewys next to him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and began to communicate through his divine sense.At this time, Lewys had not yet recovered from the news, but Jason's voice appeared in his mind.After a while, Lewys looked at Jason with murderous eyes, and nodded slightly. His gaze was firm, a
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
