Frankie felt that the young man in front of him was an enigma."Send my greetings to the grim reaper." Severin smiled coldly, then rushed over again in a blink of an eye.Though Frankie still wanted to resist, Severin slapped away the old man's hand. The next second, he grabbed the man's head and gave it a light twist. A crisp cracking sound was heard, and Frankie's head fell limply to one side. Severin then released his grip, sending Frankie's body collapsing on the ground."Go over and help him! Why are you just standing here?" When George saw that the fight had ended, he stood up and kicked the two bodyguards standing beside him.The two bodyguards were speechless, and one of them immediately answered, "But sir…it's done. The three of them are already dead. Mister Severin is far too strong. His speed was as fast as lightning, and his movements were as smooth as the water's flow!"George then said, "Are they dead? Ahem, that's good then. You should go over and help dispose of th
The Ballards and the Zelankos had left much earlier, and they just so happened to miss the thrilling encounter.However, several wealthy businessmen had not left yet, and they were all in awe after witnessing Severin's skills."I finally understand why Mister Gideon values Severin that much. It's not just medical skills that he's good at. He's a superbly good fighter too!" One of the wealthy businessmen whispered.Another wealthy businessman said, "Severin is Miss Diane's husband, and it'd be best if we avoid offending the Shanahans. If we manage to secure a chance to cooperate with them in any business-related matters, we should make the most of it to build a relationship with them. Once the Shanahans become a second-tier family or even a first-tier family in the future, it won't be that easy to establish connections with them anymore!"Jada sighed. "Let's just leave. Guess I'm just down on my luck now that the one-and-a-half-million was wasted just like that!""Was it that expen
"Oh? Well, what are you waiting for then? We won't be joining you to meet the assassin, but I'll drive you to the hotel." Victor was overjoyed. "Severin must've offended quite a lot of people, but if you didn't hire those assassins from earlier, then who did?"A cunning look appeared in Jada's eyes as she mulled over the possible people who could have hired the assassins from earlier. "I know! It must be Rufus! I heard that Rufus likes Diane too, and Severin offended him before as well.""Haha, Severin's lucky to be able to survive this long, but his days are numbered if he keeps offending everyone he meets. He's overestimating himself if he thinks he can get away with offending both the Chavezes and the Horsfields!" Victor finally felt a lot less angry after hearing what Jada said.…When Jada arrived at the VIP room, Edward and Easton were already waiting there."Hasn't the assassin arrived yet?" Jada asked as she sat down."Not yet, but soon!" Edward answered.Easton then nod
Edward walked to the door and opened it, whereupon a sultry-looking woman in a side-slit dress walked in. The woman's height was about five foot nine, and she had a very good figure. Her sexy and slender legs were exposed from time to time through the slit of her dress, sparking racy thoughts in whoever laid eyes on them."I present to you our assassin, Black Rose! Please come on in!"Edward closed the door, then gestured in a gentlemanly manner as he introduced the assassin to Jada and Easton. Upon seeing the assassin's stellar figure, fair-skinned face, charming eyes, and icy temperament, Easton could not help but gulp at how smoking hot that woman was.When Jada saw that the assassin strut in with a sexy gait, she was not happy at all and asked coldly, "Are you sure you hired a proper assassin and not just a woman with a pretty face?""Of course she's a proper assassin! She's the four stars assassin whose code name is Black Rose!" Edward answered directly.The assassin chuckled
Black Rose ate a bit of food and left soon after.After she left, Edward smiled. "So, are the two of you satisfied?"Easton smiled and said, "Hahaha, of course, of course! She has a stunning figure! It's just a dam shame that she's an assassin. Anyone who lays a hand on her will be toast!""That's why she calls herself Black Rose. Roses may be beautiful, but they're also full of thorns!" Jada remarked."Right then. I'll pay for the meal if we're done eating. How about we raise one last glass and drink a toast to Severin's early death? Hahaha!" Edward stood up and proposed. He was very satisfied with the assassin he hired because he believed that the assassin's sexy figure would be very useful in seducing Severin. He would almost certainly take the bait, and death would soon follow once he fell for her charm.After their toast, Edward went to pay the bill. They then left the hotel with Jada and Easton following Edward from behind. The two of them then saw Edward off as he got into
"Yes, we were all shocked at the time!" Catherine said in a somewhat traumatized manner. "Since we're going to be much more well-off financially in the future, we should hire some more bodyguards for our family. We can't compromise on our safety just to save some extra money!"Stanley agreed. "Well, if this trend continued, then we might become a second-tier family in less than two years! Once that happens, we'd need a few more elite fighters to take charge. As it stands, there aren't any such people in our family at all!""Severin's extraordinary skills came in really handy today. We'd be in big trouble if not for that!" The old lady then raised her glass and said, "Let's have a toast, everyone! Regardless of what happens, the Shanahans will have a bright future ahead!""Cheers!" Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.Selene raised her fruit glass too and yelled 'cheers' like an adult too."Oh, you!" Severin could not help but look at his daughter and kiss her chubby cheeks.
Severin practically facepalmed. 'Medical box?' The Dracodeus Ring that he wore was a storage item that could hold a lot of things, and there was no need for him to carry a medical box around.Such paraphernalia were known only to the strongest people who had reached high levels of attainment. One could not expect a rich kid like Stanley to have seen such a treasure when all he knew was to eat, drink, and frolic with women all day long.However, Severin could not help but smile when he realized that it would be a great chance to mess with him. "Are you sure? It's not a problem for you to tag along, but my medical box is a little heavy, and I'm worried you won't be able to lift it!""Who are you kidding? I'm a strong man, so of course I can carry it!" Stanley could not help but laugh. "Do you think I'm not strong enough just because I come from a rich family? I'm a man, after all, and even though I haven't done much physical work before, a medical box shouldn't pose a big problem for
It was Claude's first time dealing with Zachariah, and he was caught a little off guard when Zachariah saw through his intentions. There was clearly more than meets the eye to Zachariah's rise to power.Claude smiled. "Haha, you're right! We're afraid, but I believe that you're just as afraid as we are. I'll just get to the point then. I hope that Brookbourn Mansion will lend us a helping hand if Draco Hall somehow decides to attack us, and we'll help as well if they target Brookbourn Mansion. How does that sound?"Zachariah pondered over that proposal and said, "I trust that they won't act recklessly. After all, I know that Draco Hall only took over the Cedar Gang because they had no choice. Furthermore, we from Brookbourn Mansion would rather not make any deals with underground forces.""Haha, are you sure about that? If my Emerald Cloud Gang disappears suddenly one day, Brookbourn Mansion will become the next target. Though councils similar to Brookbourn Mansion in other cities m
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
