Severin's retort drew a burst of laughter from Tomos. "It's funny that a level four supreme paragon like you would dare to make such bold statements!"The gulf between the levels of attainment was a vast chasm for supreme paragons. Tomos viewed Severin as an insignificant speck, and he viewed level eight supreme paragons like Mohsin as only being slightly less weak compared to Severin.Tomos was stationed between Northsea and Midland at the pass to thwart any reinforcements that the Grandiuno Sacred Land sent over. He had resolved to bar Severin from passing, especially after he had heard rumors about Severin acquiring the true immortal blood essence in the Starry Sky Battlespace. That was, after all, a precious opportunity that conferred upon Severin the possibility to become immortal.Severin's rapid progress from paragon to supreme paragon happened in a short span of time, and such speed was virtually unattainable even for the reincarnation of a past powerhouse. More likely than
"Ahhhh..." The souls within the Thousand-Soul Flag were instantly annihilated as they faced the scorching True-Sun Fire. All that was left of them were screams that echoed in the air.Tomos frowned after observing that the Thousand-Soul Flag had little effect on Severin. He made a seal with his hand and directed a demonic light into the small bronze cauldron above his head.The cauldron erupted with a boundless green light, which transformed into a stream of energy that headed straight for Severin. Although it was a high-quality spiritual treasure, its power could rival divine weapons in the hands of a level nine supreme paragon like Tomos.Knowing better than to risk a direct confrontation, Severin summoned the Oculus Blade from his inner world. The blade appeared swiftly in his grasp, radiating a brilliant aura. As a level-five protective divine weapon, it was like a furnace of heaven and earth, while its laws seemed to blossom to the Nine Heavens.Before the cauldron could reach
Over at Northsea, the blue waves that crashed against the shore and the lush carpet of vegetation that adorned the landscape resembled a precious piece of sapphire nestled upon the earth. Within the barbarics' royal court, Allen sat at the central section of the royal court. His expression was grim as he glanced across the devils encircling Northsea. A surge of anger pulsed within him as he recalled the fallen members of his clan.He slammed his fist on the dragon-shaped armrest and cursed, "That damn Wicked Tribe has left our clan on the brink of annihilation!"Northsea had endured immense amounts of trials since the onset of the war. The passageway from the Northsea's grassland to Midland had been cut off after the Darkness Sacred Land sent their troops there. Any barbarics attempting passage met with swift demise at the hands of the devilish forces.Months of relentless battle had claimed the lives of countless barbarics, and the royal court was nearly at risk of an assault. Had
"Elder Tomos's soul lantern has gone out!"Sachin lunged forward and grasped the disciple's collar in disbelief."What?! Who did it?" he asked in an urgent voice.The Darkness Sacred Land had dispatched three supreme paragons to deal with Northsea, and all three possessed the strength of a level nine supreme paragon. They were the peak of strength even within the entire Bleurealm. Tomos, who was stationed at the pass between Midland and Northsea, was on the rear lines. Sachin was on the verge of exploding in anger when he realized that Tomos had met a dire end before even getting the chance to take the field.The disciple covered under Sachin's grip and stammered, "I d-d-don't know! I rushed here as soon as I saw Elder Tomos' soul lantern was extinguished."Fueled by rage at that remark, Sachin's aura reduced the unfortunate disciple into a crimson mist. "Useless!" he cursed. His form soon disappeared into the spatial passage that he opened.Moments later, Sachin emerged on the
Malik shuddered at that notion. Northsea's barbarics' had been surrounded, so they might not know what Severin had been doing in Southsky. However, as an elder of the Darkness Sacred Land, Malik knew intimately what was happening. The news of Mohsin's demise had caused a stir in both the devil tribes, and it even prompted Baldwin from the Primordial Sacred Land to abandon his plans to invade Southsky and sever Grandiuno Sacred Land. Without the painstaking effort by the two devil tribes to keep everything under wraps, the news of Mohsin's demise would have undoubtedly spread throughout the Bleurealm.Malik glanced at Sachin's departing silhouette and found it difficult to shake off the lingering sense of despair. His confidence had shattered, and he sighed as he gazed at the blue, gem-like expanse of Northsea's ocean. The barbarics' royal city was nestled in the center of the isolated island. Moments later, he vanished into the sky and swiftly returned to the battlefield to rally his
As soon as Sachin noticed a fissure on the ground that stretched several thousand miles, he immediately deduced that Severin had been involved in Tomos's demise. He rushed forward abruptly, generating a terrifying shockwave beneath his feet. The surrounding space rippled like water following what happened.Sachin sized Severin up from head to toe before remarking calmly, "Hmmm… A young man who is a level four supreme paragon… I suppose you are Severin."Though Sachin had never met Severin, news of Mohsin's death in Southsky had ignited turmoil within both the devil tribes. Many supreme and royal paragons had preserved Severin's likeness as well as images of past battles in their image stones, thereby allowing all their disciples to identify Severin immediately.Severin knew right away that the level nine supreme paragon before him likely harbored ill intentions. He had already expected that one of the devils would come looking for him after Mohsin's death. It was inevitable that the
Sachin looked at Severin with a solemn expression. He then said grimly, "Everyone underestimated you."With a subtle gesture, Sachin raised his hand. A dazzling light emanated from it and turned into a bronze halberd. The weapon stretched nine feet long, boasting a dragon-headed blade with sharp edges on both ends. Its bronze sheen exuded a formidable aura, marking it as a premier spiritual artifact.Upon summoning that spiritual treasure, Sachin prepared to mount another attack. His desire for battle manifested explosively and shot up into the sky. The sheer force of his abilities tore open the void, causing the elements to gush forth. The pressure produced a dent of several inches on the ground beneath him.Sachin glared intently at Severin and said with an eerie calm, "I will end your life for interfering with the affairs of my sacred land."In a swift motion, Sachin's halberd descended and transformed into a divine beam that spanned thousands of feet. At that moment, the world
Sachin's eyes blazed with a fiery greed, resembling a starving wolf. "It will become mine once I end your life!" He then lunged forward, wielding his bronze halberd to deliver a formidable strike.A thunderous explosion erupted in the heavens, with radiant light shooting skyward like sparks from lightning. The power of rules coalesced into a divine chain of order that encircled Sachin's form.After that brief exchange, Severin began to view Sachin with increased solemnity. Sachin's strength was much stronger than Tomos's, which explained why he showed no fear in the face of Severin's level-five protective divine weapon.That being said, Severin was not the kind of person who would let himself be at a disadvantage. His inner world churned wildly, and the mana surged forth as he swung the Oculus Blade downward. The space within a thousand-mile radius seemed to shudder as if a wound had been torn apart. The elements erupted forth with chaotic energy and spatial distortion, converging i
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
