Based on what had been relayed by the Green Emperor's remnant soul, there were a few quasi-royal immortals even in the celestial realm. One such quasi-royal immortal utilized the power of the law to collect his past, present, and future selves within the river of time. When all three were complete, he finally achieved self-realization.He was immortal, and thus indestructible both in spirit and form. He could even sense it if someone were to utter his name due to the mirages that would ensue. With the five types of energy condensed within his chest, he could execute many formidable acts, such as projecting any sort of image to defeat his enemies, manipulating time and destiny, and shrouding his celestial secrets from detection.He was nearly impossible to kill. His resilience rendered him extremely difficult to kill, unless a special method was employed to travel back in time and eliminate him before he set his course on the path of enlightenment."Sigh..." Severin shook his head. S
There were hardly any significant figures remaining in the Primordial Sacred Land. Most were royal paragons, who posed no threat to the Ancestora.However, he still needed to control the Upside Down Formation and receive blood sacrifices from others. Doing so would aid him in delving into the origins of the world, establishing complete dominion over Bleurealm, and becoming its lord.He casually entrusted the remainder of the Primordial Sacred Land to assist him. As he had articulated, should Fannerly and Ianzik be willing to serve as his loyal followers, he would consider sharing some of the spoils he reaped after becoming Lord of the Realm.The carrot-and-stick principle was one that the Ancestora understood well.In the next instant, the law in his grasp condensed and drew in the spiritual essence without a ten-thousand-mile radius. Two red pills were formed as a result, and a divine glow emanated from it, filled with the boundless vitality of the world and the sinister power of
Understanding the origin of the world would grant him dominion over Bleurealm as well as the Lord of the Realm title. As he thought of that, a smile graced his lips as he continued to wander the void with his consciousness.In the Eastern Sea at Thundlight, only smoldering remnants were left behind in the aftermath of a battle. The nine-tailed fox stood amidst the carnage of slaughtered monsteroids, while the spectral form of the fox loomed ominously behind, and a formidable aura could be felt throughout the plains."What is the meaning of this, Fannerly? What do the Primordial Sacred Land intend to achieve from this?" asked the nine-tailed fox, whose fury was mirrored by the other two Thundlight mosteroid rulersTrey, clad in silver armor, transformed into a towering dragon and roared indignantly, "You are courting your own demise. How dare you attack our land!"The nine-headed lion spewed flames and said, "This pair of level eight supreme paragons must think that we are pushovers
In the Kains ancestral city, Egbert glared at Fannerly's group in anger when the latter was nearing several thousand miles of their territory."Fannerly! Your actions are an affront to us!" The Kains' ancestral city lay shattered with a mere slap. Everything was flattened, and the soil was covered in blood. Seething with a profound anger, Egbert wiped away the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth and rose into the air. His half-immortal aura enveloped him in a brilliant divine light, and the radiant energy coalesced into a colossal claw-like handprint.Fannerly and Ianzik were riding on clouds several thousand meters away when they noticed that Egbert was about to unleash an attack. They reacted swiftly in response and invoked a seal to activate the corpse puppet. Demonic flames shot up into the sky as it emerged, and the space around seemed to tremble with an audible cracking sound."Attack them!" Fannerly commanded icily, directing the puppet's attention towards the handprint
Egbert was left reeling in shock. Ordinarily, a blow from the awl would incapacitate a half-immortal, especially if it struck a vital area like the head. Their primal spirit would be torn and they would be sent plummeting to the ground. However, the abomination before him survived. Worse still, it seemed to be increasing in strength."What is this thing?" Egbert stammered as horror was etched across his face.Fannerly's smile twisted into a cold sneer. "Does that scare you now, old man?" he taunted.Ianzik, who stood beside Fannerly on the airship, scoffed. "This is a puppet created by the Ancestora. What chance do you have against it, old fool? We might consider sparing you if you surrender right now and accept the Ancestora's offer," Ianzik threatened. "Resist, and you'll become another puppet!"Each revelation was even more shocking than the last. With centuries of knowledge as a half-immortal, he had swiftly deduced that the Ancestora had broken free from the seal. Meanwhile, t
"What!" Severin exclaimed, jolting upright from his seated position with disbelief across his face. Based on the message that Amethyst had relayed, the Kains' half-immortal had fallen, leaving behind only a remnant of his soul. Above all, however, the Ancestora's emergence had truly stunned him.The Ancestora was an abomination—a true immortal who had been sealed by the Green Emperor in a place where no life survived. No one had expected him to escape in the golden age.Severin took a deep breath and concluded that the situation in Bleurealm was getting increasingly dire. With no time to spare, he rose from his seat and tore apart the fabric of space, whereupon he left the Green Emperor's Pagoda and headed to the sect's main hall.Moments later, the change in surroundings indicated that Severin had emerged in the main hall. It was relatively empty, save for a few key figures.Adrian, his master, sat upon the main seat with a face full of shock and determination. Beside him was Amet
The wait yielded no further arrivals, and Adrian promptly withdrew his gaze. He turned to Lilou and asked, "Are our friends from Floating Light and Darklight not keen on joining us?"Lilou was a level nine supreme paragon from the Jade Pond Sacred Land whose strength was on par with that of a half-immortal. Unfortunately, their half half-immortal—the last that came from the Jade Pond Sacred Land—had perished in the Starry Sky Battlespace after pursuing the old wacko.Lilou shook her head ruefully. "They seem to be more inclined to observe from afar rather than involve themselves in such murky waters."Lumino, from the Greatflare's royal family, grumbled in discontent, "That's a rather convenient excuse. I wonder if they will find it just as convenient when the Ancestora razes their sacred land to the ground! And just because the Great Thunderbeat Temple is located in the far west doesn't mean it will be able to evade the Ancestoras' invasion!"Lumino was very outspoken in his dissa
Severin could not help but smile bitterly to himself. The Ancestora's true form had defied the former Green Emperor's attempts at suppression, which could only be achieved via containment in a forbidden area for epochs. Yet, those individuals were entertaining the idea of exploiting the Ancestora's emergence.Furthermore, Severin could not shake the feeling that things were not as they seemed. Egbert's account of his demise at the hands of a corpse puppet, rather than the Ancestora itself, sent shivers down his spine.Just as he was about to caution Abner against underestimating the enemy, the discussion regarding an opportunity to achieve immortality had attracted everyone's attention.Lumino, the Gildons' half-immortal, stroked his beard thoughtfully. "You may be right. I'm inclined to believe that the Ancestora's strength hasn't recovered to its fullest after breaking free from the seal. If we join forces, we may stand a chance against them."Jaxon, the Grand Priest of Northsea,
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
