Horra's relief did not last long. A golden sword rainbow that suddenly appeared in his line of sight, growing bigger and bigger as it approached him. The sword rainbow came so rapidly and bore such a strong aura that Horra's soul trembled as he felt a tingle in his scalp.The sword rainbow which was several thousand miles long covered the sky, as if having sliced the sky in half.Horra stared at the nearing sword beam and screamed, "Oh, I see! You're going all out in this, aren't you, Adrian!"A half-immortal who wielded a level-three protective divine weapon would be able to increase their combat effectiveness by several percent. Adrian had earlier relied on his level-three protective divine weapon to go toe to toe against Xavier and Darius without losing the upper hand. With Severin lending the Oculus Blade to Adrian, the latter's strength and combat power would receive a huge boost!Furthermore, the attack was a merciless one that stemmed from Adrian's genuine rage. That had alm
At the barbaric's holy mountain at Northsea, the grand priest Jaxon sensed a terrifying aura rising from the border. His expression then changed dramatically. "This aura... Did a half-immortal's life just come to an end?"Having located the direction from where the shockwave came, he tore the void open and disappeared into the rift. Only a half-immortal monster would be able to produce such a terrifying battle scene.Jaxon later soon sensed Adrian's aura emanating from it. As an ally of Grandiuno Sacred Land, he felt obliged to lend a hand to them. As soon as he stood up, however, he saw that black clouds had formed across sky above his head. The world seemed to plunge into sadness, and a blood rain began to drip down."The world… it's weeping!" Jaxon's heart sank to rock bottom when he saw that. The world wept only when a half-immortal perished. Countless possibilities flashed through Jaxon's mind and he became extremely uneasy. After standing there for a few moments, he gritted hi
When that thought surfaced in Baldwin's mind, the black energy surrounding him instantly surged out of his body, wrapping him up completely and whisking him away in the blink of an eye.Meanwhile, over at Eastplain, there stood a divine mountain that towered through the clouds and was formed out of unusual colored rocks. There, birds were in song, and apes lazed about. On the top of that mountain were a myriad of lights and auspicious energy. One could regard it as something of a heaven on earth—a sort of paradise that was second to none.That was the location of the Darklight Sacred Land. Inside their cave heaven, an old man was meditating in the sea of clouds. He was dressed in a solar-lunar robe bearing numerous manifestations of rules all over it. Before long, he fell into deep thought as he was awoken by the dark clouds covering the sky and the scene of blood rain. "A half-immortal has fallen..." he mumbled.The next moment, countless rules of light converged on his vision.He
"Severin!" Diane and the other girls bore concerned expressions as they immediately rushed over to him. Diane immediately used her mana to support him before he fell to the ground.She and the other women had looks of distress as they gazed on the blood-covered, mutilated Severin. Horra self-destructive act happened so suddenly and so quickly that it took everyone by surprise.A half-immortal self-destructive force was stronger than any level nine supreme paragon could imagine. It shattered a space within a radius of five thousand miles.Even Adrian's presence was not enough to withstand the formidable shockwaves that resulted from it. At that moment, Adrian's blue robe was torn into strips, while his skin was scorched and blackened by the hot air waves. One of his arms was broken, with the white bone piercing through flesh and blood. Compared to the strength of an all-powerful half-immortal powerhouse that he had projected earlier, his aura seemed to have dwindled and nearly droppe
Severin suppressed his thoughts calmly and looked his wives' worried faces. "Relax. I'm still alive and kicking."His lighthearted remark managed to ease the women's worries, and they immediately burst into laughter.Adrian laughed too, and all the gloom on his face seemed to disappear. He then chastised, "Still in the mood for some jokes, I see!" He returned the Oculus Blade to Severin, and fired a shot of vitality-infused mana into Severin's body.In an instant, Severin could feel the mana entering his body and healing his injuries. Overjoyed, he quickly took out several healing pills from his spatial ring and ate them. The pills were digested into pure alchemical power and nourished his whole body, thus mending the gaping wounds at a speed visible to the naked eye.At the same time, he also quickly used the only remaining law of creation in his inner world to repair his body. This power of creation was regarded—quite rightly—as the primogenitor for the essence of life in the ent
Baldwin cursed silently to himself. He had initially thought that Horra's act of self-destruction would leave behind a lot of essence and blood. Should he succeed in absorbing it, then he would be able to break free of his seal. However, the outcome was not as he expected, as Horra's self-destruction had all but reduced his essence and blood to nothing.At the spur of the moment, Baldwin decided to change his strategy in the hopes that Severin and the others would either perish or suffer serious injuries if they survived. He had hoped to end their lives covertly, as breaking free would be within reach if he managed to devour a half-immortal like Adrian.Yet Baldwin was taken by surprise when Adrian not only survived, but suffered only minor injuries. Baldwin felt a sudden chill down his spine as he emerged from the void and saw that he was stepping right into the palm of a formidable foe."Ah, a visitor from the Primordial Sacred Land," Adrian declared coldly, with his eyes fixed on
In the past, the Green Emperor had wielded his power to defeat his adversaries, even when those adversaries had attained immortality. Upon hearing of Horra's self-destruction and demise, Grenn wasted no time in rushing over.He emerged from the void and raised his hand to try attack Adrian. The sudden tension on the field snapped Severin back to attention as he was still recuperating from his wounds. His master, Adrian, had been weakened by the aftermath of Horra's self-destruction and was no longer as strong as before. Another mishap could lead to disaster, especially with a level nine supreme paragon like Baldwin observing from the wings.Severin's heart sank at the realization. He stood prepared to employ the Oculus Blade and the Green Emperor's Pagoda and was willing to bring his foes down even if it meant heaving to sacrifice himself.A fierce-faced Grenn prepared to deliver his blow when Adrian, devoid of emotion, bit his tongue and spat blood onto the Emerald Blade he was hol
Jaxon's arrival had disrupted Grenn's plans, and his expression changed slightly when he heard what Baldwin said.Jaxon was determined to protect Adrian and Severin at all costs. The presence of the two half-immortals only served to raise the wariness that Grenn was feeling. On his end, he only had Baldwin as support, as Xavier was absent and chose instead to stay in the secret confines of the Primordial Sacred Land to mend his wounds and sort out the damaged foundation in the Eastern Sea.Furthermore, even though Baldwin was a clone of the Ancestora, his strength was no longer than of a half-immortal and paled in comparison to that of a level nine supreme paragon. Unless Grenn planned to engage in a two-against-one confrontation, a reckless instigation of war would make it more difficult for them to escape.Though Horra's demise had left Grenn bereaved and incensed, it had yet to ignite a vengeful rage that compelled him to seek retribution. Understanding one's limitations was the
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
