The strike bore an unparalleled power that cleaved through space and extinguished the resulting outpour of elements before hurtling fiercely toward Severin.Upon witnessing that, Severin bellowed, "Slice!"The sword embryo in his grasp unleashed a hundred-mile swath of sword beam that pierced the darkness like the rays of the sun during daybreak. The darkness soon dissipated.A thunderous collision ensued as the sword beam met the divine lightning head on. The world seemed shaken, and Severin noticed that the earth beneath him had sunk three inches within a hundred-mile radius.Mighty shockwaves surged through the surrounding space, causing the divine chains of order that manifested from countless rules to dance uninhibitedly in the void. Before Severin could catch his breath, a fourth divine lightning descended, and its strength was double that of before.Severin was forced to muster all the mana within his inner world and his body to resist the onslaught. Those successive thunde
The Oculus Blade seemed to share Severin's joy by vibrating in response.All of a sudden, the blazing sword beam that sliced through the sky produced a radiance that spanned several thousand miles. The overbearing pressure bore down on many of the Grandiuno Sect disciples, leaving them gasping for breath.Witnessing the creation of a level-five protective divine weapon brought much joy to Severin.The Oculus Blade was previously nothing more than a level-one protective divine weapon. Yet, Severin was already able to rely on his formidable combat prowess and leverage on the support conferred by the protective divine weapon to kill a level eight supreme paragon, Mohsin. Though his own skills played a huge role in that success, much of the credit belonged to the Oculus Blade.Severin felt a terrifying power coursing through him as he wielded the level-five protective divine weapon. His spiritual energy and his blood seemed to have been set ablaze, and he was confident of effortlessly
Severin sat cross-legged on the ground and immediately digested the ninth-grade pill he had consumed earlier. Nourished by the mana within, his wrecked inner world began to tremble violently. Divine chains of law and order erupted from within the void, mending the connection of heaven and earth and repairing the previously shattered terrain.The discovery, made through his divine senses, filled Severin with joy. He had expected that the recovery process might take at least half a month, yet it had already commenced, much to his surprise.Severin speculated that his inner world might have developed an instinctual self-healing ability after being ripped apart numerous times. In less than three days after the time spent in the training room, his once-disordered inner world not only reverted to its original state but expanded to a grander and more expansive territory than ever before.Having successfully surpassed the 80,000-mile mark, Severin's mana reserves had increased exponentially
Inside the practice room on Pearl Light Isle, Severin exuded a radiant glow after the law of creation reached great success. The rules' aura began to spread, instantly revitalizing the flora and fauna outside the room. Pearl Light Isle seemed to have transformed into an ethereal sacred land, with birds chirping, flowers blooming, fungi flourishing, and fragrant herbs lending their fragrance to the air.The sudden change roused Diane and the girls from their training. Gilda noticed the significant change and exclaimed, "Why does it feel like the energy around us is becoming livelier?"Diane directed her divine senses toward the location where Severin was. After scanning the island, she concluded that the change stemmed from the Rules of Heaven and Earth. Having observed all that had happened, Diane asked, "Has Severin made another breakthrough?"Curiously, there was a distinct lack of the usual surge of spiritual energy that tended to accompany Severin's breakthroughs. The change bro
The upper energy core was a spiritual palace that housed one's soul. With two major energy cores successfully activated and the law of creation thus achieved, Severin wanted to utilize the upper energy core to condense the primal spirit into the solar spirit.Solar spirit was defined as a soul that could exit the body and traverse the void without fear of light from the sun or moon. It wielded divine techniques independent of one's physical form. The body acts as a vessel, while the solar spirit serves as the steer. Severin could already sense that the key to immortality was perfecting his energy, essence, and soul.As he further comprehended the law of creation, Severin noticed several flaws in the Rules of Heaven and Earth that he had produced during his breakthrough to royal paragon. His inner world's heaven and earth possessed only one energy core, which was at risk of collapse and foundational damage if his mana was depleted.Severin pondered upon the possibility of ensuring th
Elsewhere, within the Grandiuno Sect, Oskar was in seclusion to further enhance his understanding of the Rules of Heaven and Earth when he detected a sudden shift in the sect's atmosphere.His soul throbbed faintly as he discovered a pronounced increase in the law of creation from Pearl Light Isle. The anomaly captured Oskar's attention, and he cautiously extended his divine senses across the entire sect."That's... That's the aura of a solar spirit!" Oskar exclaimed as his divine senses discerned the changes in Severin's primal spirit aura.The primal spirit was made out of pure solar power and remained untainted by dust. It had an inscrutable nature, capable of wielding rules and conjuring forth elements! As far as Oskar knew, only legendary half-immortals could condense their souls into a solar spirit. Ascending from level nine supreme paragon to true immortality marked a huge leap and transformation in the hierarchy of existence.The prelude to becoming an immortal was attainin
After all, it was a sign that his concept of using cells as universes and meridians as cave paradises was a viable method. By then, his Sky-High Point would serve as the cave paradise, and every cell in his body would become miniature universes that brought the best out of the three major energy cores. As long as his energy, essence, and spirit were enough, immortality would be within reach!After his euphoria subsided, Severin channeled his divine senses to control all his mana and continued to develop his tiny universe with unwavering focus. There were billions of cells in the human body, so even a supreme paragon like Severin found it a daunting prospect to deal with them all."Hmm, these things take time. I'd do well to proceed steadily and diligently," Severin mused to himself and mustered his resolve to persist.Soon, he completed a hundred, then a thousand, then ten thousand, all while time outside trickled away.Half a month later, the morning rays cast colorful hues past t
The echo from the cracking sound sent chills down Severin's spine. The next instant, he sensed that the barrier to level four supreme paragon had seemingly disappeared. His energy erupted with a thunderous bang, covering the Pearl Light Isle's sky. In that instant, the world around him seemed to transform into a different color.In an instant, swathes of purple aura appeared across much of Southsky while soil and sky energy leaked out from the void. They all coalesced over Pearl Light Isle, forming a majestic canopy. Countless golden lotuses materialized in the sky as if to herald the coming of a divine being, and more unusual phenomena unfolded.The spectacle naturally captured the attention of the entire Grandiuno Sect. Still, the real buzz came when news of Severin's breakthrough to level four supreme paragon spread from Pearl Light Isle up throughout the far reaches of the sect."This supreme paragon aura means that he has made another breakthrough!""That's insane! His talent
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
