Deafening explosions reverberated through the void, unleashing a maelstrom of chaotic energy. The Ancestora's eyes flickered with surprise as he observed that Severin had effortlessly shattered his law of destruction. The display of power far exceeded what one would expect from someone who had just become an immortal.As soon as the Ancestora beheld the Oculus Blade in Severin's grip, a glint of relief and greed shimmered in his eyes."Ah, an elite celestial weapon," the Ancestora murmured, licking his lips. "There's more to your secrets than I expected."Severin had given him much surprise, as it was unheard of for someone who had just become an immortal to not only possess a signature celestial weapon but also an elite one no less. The news would send shockwaves even within the celestial realm.To craft such a weapon, one must first acquire ten divine golds. The rarity of divine gold in the celestial realm was a testament to their immense value, as it would require years of searc
Across Midland, the sky stretched into an endless golden river spanning tens of thousands of miles. The weight of the celestial spectacle sent tremors through Bleurealm, and everyone on the level of supreme paragon and above could feel the trembling pressure.Deep within the royal city within Greatflare, Lumino was nursing his wounds in solitude when he glanced his head skyward at the sight of the golden river meandering through the space. Horrified, he got up abruptly and muttered in a trembling voice, "This is a battle between true immortals! Has the Ancestora shown up?"The apocalyptic vision resembled the collapse of the world, striking Lumino with a sense of panic and unease. He did not have much hope for Midland's Grandiuno Sacred Land to be able to make any sort of difference in that situation. Overwhelmed by what he saw, he staggered back in despair until he fell bottom first on the ground. "We're done for. Oh heavens! We're done for now that the Ancestora has decided to take
The small palm-sized flag bore intricate patterns upon its fabric. Chaos and balance swirled within it, imbuing it with the lethal power of destruction."I never would have thought that someone who had just become an immortal would possess such combat prowess. All the more reason to kill you!" the Ancestora sneered, having whipped out of his signature weapon.Known as the Chaos Flag, the small weapon in his grasp hailed from the era of the celestial devils. Crafted from divine gold, it wielded two different energies—sky and soil. Within its folds lay the ability to tear chaos apart, crush space, and to command the very laws themselves. It was a destructive force to be reckoned with.A total of 99 laws were etched across its surface, making it a rare and valuable weapon even within the ranks of celestial weapons.As the Chaos Flag billowed in the wind, the positive and negative enough that it bore radiated with an unbridled divine light. A simple wave was all that was needed for the
A flash of cold light pierced the vast expanse, igniting boundless chaos in its wake. As the Oculus Blade vanished, the Ancestora—whose senses were killed as he was trapped within the confines of the space-time domain—felt a surge of existential crisis coursing through him.In the tumultuous aftermath, he witnessed chaotic energies sweeping through the void like water boiling over from a pot. An icy chill crept up his spine, and he swiftly raised his hand to wave the Chaos Flag. Its black and yellow colors blossomed with divine light that attempted to stave off the encroaching void.Following several explosions that reverberated through the chaos, elemental energy began to converge with the turbulent space as they clashed against the Oculus Blade. The weapons which crashed with each other soon resulted in a cataclysmic shockwave.The Ancestora's senses had been dulled, and a millennial's worth of his life force had been deprived. When the bell-like space-time domain appeared difficu
Driven by the fervor of his burning essence and blood, the Chaos Flag's fiery radiance flickered for a fleeting moment before waning. Seizing the opportune moment, Severin maneuvered the Oculus Blade's sword beam and sliced it through the flag's defenses, nearly severing the Ancestora's arm in a single stroke.The once-proud Ancestora became marred by countless wounds, and his entire body was dripping with blood. He had nearly lost his life there. Anguish and dread coiled within him as he contemplated reigniting his essence and blood, yet the peril of jeopardizing his foundation deterred him from going ahead with the plan. The risk of his attainment suffering a decrease from true immortality was too big a risk to take.Left with only one recourse, the Ancestora steeled himself and was prepared to unleash his final gambit. "Severin!" he screamed, livid with resentment. His eyes were ablaze with a fiery glance, and he looked at Severin with a glare as sharp as a honed blade. "You leave
Amidst the tumultuous sea of chaos beyond the void, a desolate and seemingly directionless expanse stretched infinitely with only the undulating energies of primal chaos present there. Even a true immortal who dared to tread upon its shores would be swiftly consumed by its chaotic power, which was destructive enough that not even their bones would be left behind. Legends spoke of ancient invaders, creatures born of chaos, who once ravaged the sanctity of the celestial realm.A sprawling black realm loomed in the heart of the primordial abyss that was too far distant from Bleurealm's reach. Its skies were shrouded in perpetual darkness, while its earth was awash in a macabre hue of crimson. Grotesque fiends prowled in the shadowed jungles, and a pervasive rotting odour stretched across the area. It was the sort of realm that befitted the damned.Neither sun nor stars graced that forsaken land, as everything had been coloured black by a strange power. Within a floating palace situated
King Luther did not dare to display any arrogance before the regally-dressed figure. Though they were both royal celestials, Oliver Brooker was a ruler hailing from a lineage beyond that realm. King Luther could not help but shiver as he recalled the tumultuous clash in the devil realm of yore. Had he not capitulated swiftly, he might have met the same fate as the heavenly emperor.Upon hearing that, Oliver's eyes gleamed with the radiance of the sun and moon as several eras passed by before his eyes. He swiftly gleaned the secrets of heaven from the flow of time on the chessboard, demonstrating that King Luther had been telling the truth. "Yes, it does seem so. In that case, you should make haste and answer them. Perhaps they have encountered an enemy while seeking the fragments of the celestial realm," Oliver remarked, setting down a chess piece with a faint smile.Fragments of the celestial realm dated back from the ancient days when Armin sliced the heavens with his divine blade,
According to the Green Emperor's accounts, he had become a royal celestial soon after ascending to the celestial realm and became its supreme power. The figure before Severin had certainly participated in the siege against the Green Emperor. An entity capable of slaying a royal celestial, manipulating timelines, and compressing three lifetimes worth of power would almost certainly be a royal celestial or even stronger.At that moment of realization, Severin tightened his grip on the Oculus Sword as he the laws of time and space emanating from him in a brilliant display. His gaze, sharp and vigilant, met King Luther's eyes with solemnity.King Luther raised his head and glanced at the area composed of the rules of time and space. His expression, shrouded in a glow, displayed a hint of surprise."The laws of time and space? No, they're more than that. They've merged to form a new path!" King Luther glanced at Severin with a fiery intensity, as if Severin was some sort of rare gem. He
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
