Carson and Willette were just about to come to Severin's aid when the scene that unfolded before them left them speechless and dumbfounded."Just how strong is he? He put in nearly zero effort to subdue that half-immortal puppet," Carson exclaimed in shock as he was overcome with turmoil.They had both suffered at the hands of Wendigo's puppet and barely escaped with their lives, but Severin had reduced it to ashes in just a single move. Such strength was frightening, to say the least.Willette, who was still reeling from the shock, gulped and asked, "Have you become an immortal?"He understood the Wendigo puppet before them to be immensely powerful, as his combined effort with Carson was not enough to breach the puppet's defenses, let alone defeat it. One could imagine how shocked Willette was when Severin had annihilated it so effortlessly."Not yet," Severin replied, smiling faintly at their astonished expressions. He had just attained half-immortality, completed the second of
"Curses! What is taking the Grandiuno Sacred Land so long?!" The Alaric seethed with anger and frustration, while his emotions tinged with an inexplicable fear.Cuthbert had been sent over from the Grandiuno Sacred Land a day ago but had to retreat after being bested by the corpse puppet. In order to stay alive, Abner and Alaric defended against the puppet, but their battle stretched across a day and a night without any signs of progress.Instead, their spiritual energy reserves were dwindling dangerously low, hence their mounting apprehension. The corpse puppet had spent over half a month relentlessly slaughtering practitioners and civilians in Eastplain, which led to an increase in its intelligence and power.The puppet grinned menacingly. "You are both very resilient. Your deaths are the perfect offerings for the flag!"No sooner had it spoken than the corpse puppet materialized before Abner. Clouded in a dense, dark green, poisonous mist, the puppet had virtually teleported acr
Abner gulped and his eyes widened. He rubbed his eyes and wondered if he had been hallucinating. The corpse puppet, whose power was comparable to that of several half-immortals, had been destroyed with relative ease by Severin!Alaric, who wielded a pair of swords as his divine protective weapon, stood stunned at Severin's feat. As he glanced at the corpse that had sliced in half and noticed that its primal spirit was all but destroyed, he muttered blankly, "It's…dead?"Abner and Alaric looked at Severin in horror, as they had the honor of experienced Severin's master over time and space. With space sealed and time frozen, it was as if all physical matter had ceased to exist in the world, leaving only the presence of their consciousness. It was an almost omnipotent power that would send chills down everyone's spine.After confirming that the puppet had been genuinely destroyed, Severin withdrew the domain that had had frozen using his space-time path. The Golden Balance Bridge benea
Carson and Willette had rushed there immediately after sensing the aura from the battle, but their divine senses failed to detect any signs of the corpse puppet.Severin smiled and offered no words.The space-time domain carried unbridled power that, once unleashed, rendered those on the outside of the domain unable to sense what was happening within. It served both offensive and defensive purposes that was rightly considered a trump card in his arsenal.Though the corpse puppet crafted after Xavier's remains was indeed very strong, Severin's space-time domain was inescapable for anyone who was not immortal, who did not comprehend the flow of time, or who were never exposed to the rules of time.Severin's silence led Carson to feel a pang of embarrassment. He made such a huge declaration of vengeance against the corpse puppet, only to learn that his junior uncle had already dealt with it.Carson did not doubt Severin's abilities as the memory of Severin obliterating the Wendigo wa
Meanwhile, Severin battled against the biting cold wind and pressed forward with a determined look. The icy gusts of the ancient icefield assailed him, lashing his entire body and leaving him riddled with wounds. Yet, Severin was impervious to the pain. He was driven by a singular determination to continue moving forward.Behind him, Carson and Willette exchanged a glance while guarding him. They had noticed the distinct lack of fluctuations in Severin's mana which gave the impression that Severin was just an ordinary mortal.Carson began to notice something amiss with Severin throughout the entire journey. From his initial perplexity when Severin chose to walk like a mortal in Eastplain to their trek across the icefield, Carson found himself increasingly astonished by Severin's demeanor. That stemmed, in large part, due to the face that Severin's aura could not be sensed at all, regardless of how much he sensed it!If Severin was not walking right before his eyes, then Carson might
As the Ancestora peered through the scenes witnessed by the two puppets before their demise, his face reddened in anger and a surge of murderous intent erupted from his eyes."Damn you, Severin!" he bellowed as his primal spirit shook violently while veins popped out from his forehead. "If I didn't have to seek the world's origin in the river of time and condition my body for the Bleurealm by stabilizing the Seven Stars Upside Down Formation, I would have sliced his head off myself!"Even the combined might of all half-immortals in the Bleurealm paled in comparison to a true immortal like him, let alone a single half-immortal such as Severin.The chasm between a true immortal and a half-immortal dwarfed the disparities across all levels. One could liken it to the gulf between royal saint and supreme paragon.With two half-immortal corpse puppets taken down within just over a month, his plan to wield control over Bleurealm had to be delayed yet again.As one would expect, the Ances
Severin looked at the Three Thousand Mighty Principles floating above the River of Time. His eyes glimmered with joy. How magnificent it was!Gradually, the Three Thousand Mighty Principles flowed toward the distant mists. Countless rules fluttered above the River of Time, drifting down like a golden avenue of golden light. That lofty, vast, and boundless aura struck the soul and made it impossible for anyone to fight back.Severin was overjoyed and shocked. 'I can't believe the River of Time in the Inner World can merge with the River of Time in the Bleurealm and become one of the distributaries!'What an unexpected discovery it was! His Inner World was not a real world just yet. Although it had a simulated River of Time, the Three Thousand Mighty Principles were not completed.Those principles were still seeds. Even those principles like swordsmanship, luck, and space-time of which Severin was more hands-on were only at the Great Success stage.Now that the simulated River of Ti
The elders from Floating Light Sacred Land and Darklight Sacred Land of the Midland were nearly killed in the battle too. Half of the Midland was occupied by the Ancestora and the living beings there were being slaughtered too.Adrian and Amethyst sent many messages to Carson and Willette since the battle was getting closer to the sect. They assured Carson and Willette not to worry about the battle and focused on protecting Severin. Without those messages, Carson and Willette would have left Severin and joined the battle in Midland.Carson heard Willette's murmuring voice and looked over to see Severin. At that moment, he could not help but feel anxious too."How much longer is Severin going to walk?" Carson sighed helplessly.While he was feeling worried, he noticed a mysterious power bursting out from Severin's body. It gave him a shock. As he was about to take a closer look with his divine sense, countless rules burst out from Severin's body.The crimson Fire Principle emitted
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
