Meanwhile, Hardwood Spiritual Energy was one of the raw materials needed to refine the Supreme Advancing Pill. It was a rare item that contained a surging vitality and was filled with life essence.Realizing that he had already scoured through the whole place, Severin frowned slightly when he found nothing else that was interesting.He raised his head and stared at the last two storage rooms at the end of the corridor. With a smile, he said, "I guess I'm a little too greedy for my own good. I'm hoping to find some better things inside the last two rooms, but I suppose I can live with it if there's nothing else of value. The divine gold alone makes it worth the entire trip."Severin strode forward and entered the penultimate room. Inside, a mist of spiritual essence swirled, suffusing the air with a divine radiance and a tantalizing aroma. When he finally cleared the mist, he discovered nothing of note save for a few cracked porcelain bottles and withered eighth-grade pills strewn ac
Severin gleefully stowed away the Green Lotus Gold and calmed himself down before entering the final room. The treasure room as a whole was huge, divided only by two corridors. Alongside those corridors lay numerous court-like chambers. Severin, as the one leading the line, saw numerous treasures that he did not find particularly interesting. From metal Uru and fine gold to various types of herbs, those that were of little use to hm ended up the hands of Heath, Mona, and a cadre of other disciples.As he scanned the remainder of the room, Severin finally set his sights upon the final chamber at the end of the corridor.It was distinctly lacking in any peculiar phenomena—there were no radiant lights, no purple-hued mists, nor any celestial beams filling the air. Instead, it boasted simple furnishings of stone benches and tables. A sense of bewilderment gripped Severin, and he wondered if that was the resting place of the dragonoids' elders.In his confusion, a potent aura of rules cr
With an inheritance stretching back many centuries, the dragonoids possessed an abundance of treasures that was more than sufficient for their clan's attainment needs. Consequently, the treasure seldom received much attention.When Darius was still alive, he deemed the two pieces of divine gold as forbidden items that must never be shown to anyone. Unfortunately, Darius's demise came too soon, and he did not have time to make arrangements for many things. Consequently, the remaining dragonoid elites such as Elmer and Calvert remained oblivious to the existence of divine gold within the treasure trove.As Severin returned along the same path, he soon encountered Heath, Mona, and the others.Heath approached Severin with a smile and asked, "What treasures have you found?"He then produced a green pill emitting a faint but fragrant aroma. The pill, no larger than a thumb and adorned with nine golden lines, exuded an essence of life so strong that one's mana could be boosted simply by
Heath finally realized why Severin was not interested in the Scripture Pill—the worth of the divine gold that Severin had obtained far surpassed everything that Heath had gotten!Heath snapped back from his moment of shock and had a mixture of pain and envy on his face. "Tsk, tsk. Your luck is second to none."He once heard that Lumino had bestowed upon Severin a piece of divine gold when Carson brought Severin to Greatflare. Later on, when Severin journeyed to Northsea, he was given yet another piece after receiving acknowledgment from Jaxon, their grand priest. Adding to that was yet another two pieces that Severin had acquired from the treasure room. The sheer number of divine gold that Severin had made Heath feel extremely envious.Divine gold was not a common commodity, and it was valued as raw material for crafting divine protective weapons. Even level nine supreme paragons would covet something so valuable. Despite training for centuries and earning the respect of many as a l
It did not take Severin long before he was struck by a sudden realization. "If this seed absorbs rules, and I've already just reached great success with the rule of creation, then I might be able to plant it in my inner world!"The world within him could serve as a nursery for cultivating such herbs. Moreover, the rule of creation was able to bring things into existence out of nothingness in addition to restoring life without much effort.The seeds had been left untouched for an indefinite amount of time, and using the rule of creation would be just the trick that could coax them into sprouting! At the same time, the river of time flowed within his inner world. The time within a hundred feet radius at the river's center seemed to accelerate much like the twentyfold time increase within the Green Emperor's Pagoda.The opportunity to bring forth life from those dry seeds was there.With that thought, Severin swiftly brought the seeds into his inner world. As they settled next to the
"Gah! That energy is incredibly strong!" Severin exclaimed in shock as he felt the heat from his stomach right down to his throat.He immediately used his skills to channel and absorb the energy from the peach. Streams of blazing-hot mana circulated along his veins and his Sky-High Point before finally gathering in the inner world. The sky and earth seemed to be enveloped in a large area of fire, akin to burning red clouds.Inside the training room, Severin's body had expanded like a balloon. A flash of red light then occurred, and billowing hot steam came out of his head.Everything was trembling within his inner world, and countless laws began to appear at that moment. They vied to surpass one another, resulting in a glow that overflowed with color. The liveliest among those rules was the rule of fire, from which a divine chain of order about as long as a baby's arm sprang forth. The red iron chains seemed to take on that color due to the heat, and crackling sounds were heard as a
The awe-inspiring aura of a level seven supreme paragon reverberated through space, spreading across the entire cave paradise. The breakthrough lacked the grandiose mirages of golden light piercing the heavens—instead, countless shockwaves shot through the sky."Holy moly! Did Severin just make another breakthrough?""But didn't he just make a breakthrough just a couple of days ago?""He must've eaten some sort of a celestial herb or divine pill! All the spiritual energy within this place has been completely drained by him!"Many disciples who were deep in seclusion were abruptly roused by the strong surge of aura. They were rendered speechless by what happened. Though they grumbled about Severin depleting the spiritual energy, their hearts were filled with admiration for his abilities.Deep within the sacred land, Adrian was prepared to tend to his injuries when he sensed Severin's breakthrough. He got up abruptly, and his gaze pierced through space as he fixated on Enchanted Pea
After some time, Severin opened his eyes suddenly, and warm air exited his nose like a roaring dragon several feet long.As he felt the torrential surge of mana coursing through his body, Severin clenched his fists. An audible crackle was heard from his knuckles, while his muscles bulged along his arms in a testament to his newfound power.Severin could not help but feel a surge of satisfaction after observing the transformation. His strength was technically second to none among all the supreme paragons!Having ascended to level seven supreme paragon and with trillions of cell universes now at his command, his mana had since transcended their former limitations. More importantly, his familiarity with various rules had deepened to the point where he could effortlessly disrupt the divine chain of order with a mere gesture."I'm pretty sure I'll emerge victorious if I encounter Baldwin again," Severin declared confidently.His inner world had expanded rapidly following consumption of
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
