Allen originally wanted Severin to stay in Northsea for a longer period of time so that he could build a better relationship to him, but it would not be right for Allen to insist on keeping Severin when the latter had given a concrete reason and bed them farewell.He drank the tea with a wry smile and immediately said, "Then you may take your leave then. Northsea will always welcome you with open arms!"The powerful strength that Severin displayed during the crisis at Northsea prompted Allen to take him seriously and treat him as someone of the same level and caliber.Severin smiled in response, then turned around to look at Heath and Cuthbert. "I shall be leaving now. Do take good care of Northsea."Although Severin did not know what Adrian and Xavier were thinking when they did not show themselves, Northsea was a force that cooperated with the Grandiuno Sacred Land, so naturally they could not afford to lose anything.Even if the crisis at Northsea had been weathered, Heath and
Horra did not have to wait long.Severin was eager to return home, and he steered the Sumoon Airship through the void at high speed. Having just arrived at the border area between Northsea and Midland, Severin was preparing to enter the void again when a cold voice resonated throughout the sky."I've been waiting for you, Severin." It was filled with so much of murderous intent that Severin felt a chill down his spine along with a sense of imminent danger.Realizing that the situation was looking bleak, Severin activated the rule of space within his body to try and forcefully break through the void and escape. To his surprise, however, the surrounding space seemed frozen. Even time had stopped flowing. Such a state extended across almost a thousand-mile radius, and even the Rules of Heaven and Earth seemed to have been suppressed.Severin instantly deduced that the individual who wielded such immense power was a half-immortal old monster. No level nine supreme paragon could cause h
Horra's apparent praise was in fact a sign that he coveted the Oculus Blade, and Severin arrived at the same conclusion too.At that moment, Horra's feelings were in tumult, and he could feel his breathing quicken. It was no surprise that Tomos and Sachin were not able to win against Severin—the latter had a level-five protective divine weapon!A protective divine weapon that overcame five tribulations was considered to be the premier treasure among all divine weapons! An ordinary supreme paragon who is in possession of it could be invincible in any situation, while a half-immortal monster would see an increase of at least ten to twenty when wielding it—that figure might even reach seventy to eighty in the right circusmtances!For example, Adrian wielded the Grandiuno Sacred Land's level-three divine weapon on the shores of the Eastern Sea and was able to inflict a severe injury on the Dragonoid's Darius despite going up against two opponents.The benefits conferred by a protective
Severin watched as Horra's fingerprint came into contact with the sword beam. A strong shockwave was felt, followed by a burst of bright light.The rule of swordsmanship stopped abruptly and shattered in less than a moment.On the other hand, Horra's technique was still powerful, albeit not as powerful as before.Severin's face turned pale in response and he mumbled under his breath, "I'm still not strong enough against this monster even if I'm wielding a level-five protective divine weapon."He reacted swiftly and mobilized the surging mana in his inner world, in particular that of the starry sky that was shining resplendently. The power of countless stars condensed on his fist, with the terrifying aura causing a shift in space as if it could break at any time. As the fingerprint drew near, Severin raised his hand and delivered a powerful punch. The Stellar Punch shook the void with a formidable force, and a millstone-sized fist struck hard as it sliced through the air.The thund
"Awww... how touching." A wicked smile unfurled across Horra's wrinkled face. "I shall do as you wish and let you join the other souls in my Thousand-Soul Flag!"He waved his hand swiftly and confused the dark, ominous energy of the Thousand-Soul Flag into his hand. He then waved the flag ever so gently, and the weapon erupted with a terrifying suction force. Even the Rules of Heaven and Earth were unable to withstand the force and ended up being ripped out of the collapsing void.Severin broke out in a cold sweat upon witnessing that scene. His level five supreme paragon strength surged rapidly in his body, and he mobilized it to resist the suction force. As much as he tried to resist, he still felt that the space around his body was rapidly being sucked toward Horra's direction.Severin's eyes became bloodshot. He waved the Oculus Blade in his hand wildly and unleashed the rule of swordsmanship in a frantic manner. The sword beam split open the space surrounding Severin as he adva
The dark, malevolent energy lingering around the wound was showing signs of rot, rendering Severin unable to tend to the wound."Damn it!" Severin cursed under his breath. He took out two mana-restoring pills from the spatial ring and then stood up to fight. Each slash was able to take out a monster whose strength was on par with level nine supreme paragon, but there seemed to be no end to the number of monsters. He was still surrounded by them despite his best efforts to kill them.Severin's injuries worsened as the battle went on. He was covered in blood, especially his chest and the hem of his robe. The situation looked bleak as he breathed heavily and stared murderously at Horra in the distance. A twinge of regret filled him as he realized that he did not carry the Green Emperor's Pagoda with him.An immortal weapon like the Green Emperor's Pagoda would likely have been able to deal with a half-immortal like Horra without much ado. Severin felt a strange feeling in his heart fol
Horra soon noticed that his arm had been thoroughly shattered. He winced under the severe pain.He channeled the power of rules to cover the wound and tried to regenerate the broken limb. After all, a half-immortal old monster would have been strong enough to have perfected two of the three qualities of spirit, essence, and energy. That alone made him a powerhouse within the entire Bleurealm.He had almost reached the end of the path he forged, and the Rules of Heaven and Earth he had practiced have also been perfected. Resurrecting via a drop of blood, as well as repairing broken limbs, could be accomplished with ease. However, Horra soon made a very disconcerting discovery—his half-immortal body began to collapse following the wounds that had been inflicted! The area where his limb had been severed seemed to contain an unending power that corroded his body."How is this possible! My body has been tempered to that of a half-immortal! I simply need to reach great success in my solar
The overwhelming malevolent energy seemed to increase the vigor of the skeletons and ghosts surrounding him. Horra did not take any chances and spat out a mouthful of blood after biting the tip of his tongue. He transformed it into the surging power of the rule of destruction and channeled it into his 'minions', which seemed to gain a huge increase in strength after absorbing his essence and blood. Those with the strength of level eight supreme paragons immediately ascended to level nine, and more than a dozen of them rushed toward Severin in an instant.Upon witnessing that scene, Severin's expression turned cold as he yelled, "You're asking for it!" He hurled the Green Emperor's Pagoda in his hand, sending it piercing through the air like a meteor. The ghosts and skeletons that were struck by the pagoda immediately turned into plumes of black smoke and ended up being completely annihilated. Severin had killed more than a dozen monsters in the span of mere moments.Horra's expressio
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
