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
The bronze halberd in the giant's hand crumbled into dust upon contact with the fearsome sword beam, and so did the giant.A single strike destroyed that once-mighty giant into a myriad of little fragments.The relentless sword beam surged toward Sachin at high speed, causing him to feel a profound sense of dread. He realized that it was no longer possible to secure victory over Severin, and his only hope was to make a hasty retreat.He took a deep breath and bit the tip of his tongue. He then spat out some blood that had been infused with vitality. The blood turned into mist and almost seemed to gain a mind of its own as it melded with the surrounding black fog around him.Once the mist absorbed Sachin's life essence, it erupted into a towering column of light. Soon, the light formed a massive black skull. Sachin's complexion drained of color after spitting out the blood, and his complexion resembled that of a sick person. He then formed a series of hand seals and used them to man
The devils had slaughtered innocent practitioners and must be stopped."Where do you think you're going?" Severin asked as he raised his fist. Thousands of stars seemed to approach as their divine light gathered around his fist.The Stellar Punch was a powerful and swift attack, needing less than a second to reach the black mist surrounding Sachin.A loud band was heard, and the explosion destroyed the space for several thousand miles. For a moment, it was unstable and impassable.Sachin was blasted out from the void, and his heart was gripped by a strong sense of fear. It was no longer possible to escape. A level nine supreme paragon like him was no stranger to adversity, and his quick reaction speed enabled him to make another attempt to flee."You'll pay for this today!" Sachin grinned fiercely. His aura surged, and he made several hand seals that seemed to revive the skull some distance away. The strong might that it exuded was incredibly suffocating. Sachin was igniting his
At that moment, several thousand miles had been rendered unstable by a powerful shock wave that sparkled with countless ripples of light. Below, the Lockhart Mountains were instantly razed to the ground. At the epicenter of the explosion, a large crater spanning dozens of miles marred the earth.Scorching airwaves ran amok along the crater's edges, ruthlessly ravaging the surroundings. Sand, gravel, and trees were vaporized instantly by the searing heat.Severin, standing at the center of the explosion, saw dense cracks extending across the layers upon layers of protective shields before him. They were like cracks on broken porcelain. Those protective shields began to crumble one after another. In just the blink of an eye, almost thirty layers of shields shattered. Severin was immediately gripped by a profound sense of impending doom as every hair on his body stood on end, and countless goosebumps erupted on his skin.Knowing that being careless could cost him his life, he swiftly b
Sachin's departure left Malik as the sole level nine supreme paragon on the battlefield, so he decided to halt the assault temporarily and step out to catch a breath. A rainbow of light suddenly descended from the heavens, and a ninth-grade royal paragon landed before Malik. He frowned after recognizing the visitor as Danyal, one of those who had been with Sachin on the western front.With a somber expression, Malik asked, "What brings you here? Aren't you stationed in the west?"Danyal revealed with a heavy heart, "Melvin, who comes from one of the extended branches of the barbarics, has returned. He led thirty thousand barbarics to fend off the siege on our western end."Malik was not pleased to know that Melvin had returned. Veins began to bulge on his forehead as he shot Danyal an angry glare. "How have the practitioners on your side been guarding the front lines?"Melvin was the younger brother of the current barbaric king Allen, and they were both supreme paragons. Rumors spo
Malik was flustered. Two supreme paragon elders had fallen one after another. He had a bad feeling that he would be next if he insisted on staying here.Even though he was ordered to stay, he could not care more about it, especially when his life was in danger.Danyal arrived not too long later. When he got the latest update, he was stunned. He furrowed his brow and asked, "Malik, why are we sending the treasure back to the barbarics? We have sacrificed many lives and our brothers were hurt just to take it from the barbarics!"He was puzzled by the order and retorted in dissatisfaction. Although he was shocked and frightened by Sachin's death, he did not think it changed anything because they still had Malik leading them.If Malik was concerned, they could still withdraw from the Northsea Grassland. Once the barbarics had resolved their crisis, there was no reason for the barbarics to go after them.The barbarics also suffered a great loss in that battle, after all. Cuthbert and H
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
