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
King Luther scrutinized the shattered remnants of his divine chain as a chill seemed to creep into his voice. "This weapon is in your possession! If you do not wish to surrender to me, then the only option shall be to perish!" King Luther's fist surged forward.Within seconds, the divine light of the three thousand laws burst forth and shone across the vast expanse of the chaotic void. Above him, an illusory realm unfurled, teeming with ominous energies akin to a writhing tide of darkness. The surrounding space corroded the space at an extremely face speed.Within moments, Severin could feel his space-time domain being pried open by force. The boundless chaos tore through the fabric of reality, bearing down upon him with the weight of heaven and earth."No!" Severin's heart sank and his voice tinged with dread. "What in the world is this? How is It capable of defying the laws of time and space?"His dominion over time and space was his trump card, yet he found himself aghast at Kin
Standing in the void, King Luther's pallid skin resembled snow while his immortal form radiated an ethereal brilliance. One might liken him to a deity awakening from eras past. His narrowed eyes gleamed with a murderous intent in response to the near-fatal slash he had just encountered.Employing a secret method, he forcefully harnessed the fleeting power of heaven and earth at the brink of demise, which allowed him to facilitate his regeneration.Though he had yet to succumb, King Luther—whose soul had been imbued into the projection—could keenly sense the mounting hostility of Bleurealm after he had extracted the power of heaven and earth. There seemed to be a strong force bearing down on his form.Moreover, his soul had traveled through the relentless passage of time, and the law was therefore etched into his being. The constant flow of time slashed away at the projection's lifespan.King Luther knew that the lifespan of his projection would last only a moment. If he did not end
"The power of a royal celestial is truly immense. Even a mere projection has can wield such formidable strength. One can only imagine the might of his true body," Severin mused, his voice steady despite the turmoil surrounding him. "But even the most powerful royal celestial cannot defy the relentless passage of time and the rejection of the world indefinitely, can they?"Indeed, the strength of a royal celestial seemed to tower above Severin, but even as Severin acknowledged King Luther's formidable prowess, he could not shake one nagging doubt—should a royal celestial possess the ability to erase the effects that time had on them, then the Green Emperor would not have met an untimely demise.In Severin's view, King Luther's clone was burdened by the weight of time and likely had certain restrictions imposed on it. That presented an opportune moment for Severin to mount a counteroffensive.Fully cognizant of his own weaknesses, King Luther proudly declared, "I have been infused wit
In the chaotic void, the Green Emperor's Pagoda radiated boundless green light that froze the surrounding space and destroyed the golden blood mist relentlessly. Simultaneously, the Oculus Blade gleamed with brilliance, with the three thousand rules razor-sharp and shaking the very fabric of the void.At that moment, King Luther's enraged roar pierced through the golden blood mist, "Ahhh! Severin, I swear by my name that I will vanquish you!"Severin's cold smile belied his resolve as he retorted, "You're better off trying to figure out a way to survive rather than making threats against me."With practiced ease, Severin connected his soul to the heavens and earth, urging forth a surge of power from the original space that had materialized in the void via the true spirit mark in his mind. This influx of energy not only fortified his own form but also augmented the potency of the celestial weapons he wielded.As the blood mist quivered under the dual onslaught of heavenly might and
Severin, in hot pursuit, shouted icily. "Don't even think about escaping!"With a thunderous crash, the colossal handprint that enveloped the sky descended down, striking the Ancestora from the heavens. Under the violent force of impact, the Ancestora's body shattered and crumbled like porcelain in mere moments."No!" echoed a mournful cry that resounded through the heavens.With the fall of a true immortal, the world quaked, while the sky and earth lost their vibrant hues. Dark clouds shrouded the entire Bleurealm, unleashing torrents of thunder and blood-red rain upon every corner. Everyone could see the spectacle.At the Grandiuno Sacred Land's entrance, Adrian—still weary from battle—was prepared to finally return to the sect when an inexplicable sorrow gripped his heart. Before he could comprehend what was happening, the world turned pale and scarlet lightning streaked across the sky as blood-like rain descended.Such mirages were an overwhelming feeling for all sentient bein
Within a starry palace at the devil realm, the river of time surged violently on the chessboard. A ray of gray light traversed through the chaos of infinite space and time until it finally returned to King Luther.As King Luther absorbed the ray into his soul, his expression soured and he exuded a sinister aura.The handsome figure nearby could noy help but chuckle. "Why are you so grim, my friend?"King Luther treated cautiously when facing Oliver, the ruler of the foreign extraterrestrial race. He took a deep breath and explained the situation regarding his projection and its primal spirit.Oliver, astonished by the news that a newly-ascended true immortal had vanquished a royal celestial's projection, tugged at the hair on his temples before saying, "Fragments of the celestial realm in Bleurealm? And an inheritor of that old man? This is getting intriguing. Ever since the ancient battle when Armin wielded his divine sword to slash the Bleu Celestial Realm just before his demise,
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
