Severin advanced and exchanged greetings with Amethyst and the others before turning his attention to Adrian on the elevated platform. He saluted and asked, "Why are your injuries so severe?""It was a lapse in concentration," Adrian replied, downplaying them.As the main half-immortal of the Grandiuno Sacred Land, he had borne the brunt of the onslaught during the conflict and had been assailed most fiercely by the corpse puppets. The battle had erupted so suddenly that there was scarcely any time for them to alert the barbarics' Jaxon and Greatflare's Lumino. Seven corpse puppets had descended upon the sacred land, claiming the lives of two half-immortals.Adrian had consolidated his attainment after years and years of being a half-immortal. Naturally, he drew significant attention from the adversaries and faced the onslaught of three corpse puppets. Fortunately, his formidable prowess prevailed, and the puppets were dispatched with extraordinary skill.He reflected upon what hap
Severin's journey had one clear objective—to reach that original space. Within it lay the essence of the world, and whoever refined it would wield mastery over the entire Bleurealm,.Bleurealm far surpassed the Small Thousand Worlds within Severin's body. Despite the latter growing to an almost comparable level as the former, the repeated extraction of celestial power hindered the development of a flourishing civilization and populace. Left to evolve on their own, the sentient beings within would require at least several thousand years to match Bleurealm's stature.However, if he is willing to intervene in the Small Thousand Worlds' development and preach the way of attainment, the time needed to attain that would likely be much reduced. Yet, Severin could not afford such a lengthy wait—instead, he opted to refine the original space and become the Lord of Bleurealm. It was a coveted position that even the Ancestora took several eras to complete. Severin had the feeling that it repres
As time elapsed, laws began to emanate from Severin's being. The paths of power, time, and space unfurled like blossoming flowers, proliferating rapidly.One day passed, then two, then three...More and more divine chains of law continued to emerge, encasing Severin in a vibrant divine glow. His aura was radiating with a sense of mystery and grandeur.The three thousand runes underwent rapid transformations within Severin's primal spirit, merging and converging into a small—albeit incomplete—piece. Its complexity exuded a formidable energy, stirring a tremor within Severin's soul."What is this?" Severin queried as he tried his best to suppress the tumult in his heart. He attempted to pour the vast power of heaven and earth into the seal, which soon erupted with a boundless divine light. Severin's primal spirit was carried right into the void.All of a sudden, Severin experienced an almost godlike perspective, as his consciousness was overseeing the entirety of Bleurealm. No corne
Severin sighed. "It's rather unfortunate that the mark is incomplete."According to the information provided by the heavenly heart imprint, it was able to confer control over the entire Bleu Celestial Realm once it was whole again. The object was once a supreme heavenly treasure in ancient times, but when the heaven shattered, it fragmented into three pieces along with the Bleu Celestial Realm. Despite its incomplete state, Severin still stood to benefit from integrating the heavenly heart imprint into him.He felt that his comprehension of the origin of heaven and earth and the speed of his mastery of laws would be accelerated. No secret in the world could remain hidden from him. The once cryptic runes gradually began to make sense, and the original space within his Small Thousand Worlds began to teem with the laws.Soon after integrating the heavenly heart imprint, Severin retracted his thoughts and focused on the river of time at his feet. He peered through the golden river water
He pondered upon why the blood and essence of the extraterrestrial demon slain by the Green Emperor had transformed into a monster like the Ancestora. Under the safeguard of the heavenly heart imprint, Severin progressed further upstream.Everything that happened within Bleurealm in the past unfolded suddenly before his eyes. Arriving at a pivotal juncture two hundred years prior, Severin decided to bring everything to a halt. He beheld the golden waves surging forth from the river of time, revealing an image of an old man with a disheveled beard and a nonchalant demeanor.Severin could see just how ruthless and invincible the old wacko was upon first entry into Bleurealm. The old wacko's audacious act of seizing a woman from the Jade Pond Sacred Land made him the enemy of many within the Bleurealm. Subsequently, the old wacko infiltrated the Starry Sky Battlespace, eliminating his peers and seizing a drop of true immortal blood. With that precious essence, his power surged to the po
Severin, forged upstream and reached a point 200,000 years in the past. Golden waves surged before him, pulsating with a formidable energy. Severin halted and stared at the largest wave with rapt attention.Within its undulating currents could be seen the clash of two figures, their confrontation so intense that it seemed to make the world around them feel small. One combatant, dressed in green robes, wielded a small green tower that radiated boundless celestial brilliance. Its powers inflicted grievous wounds upon the opponent—a demon.The battle raged on from day to night, tearing the earth and causing the stars to dim. The demonic entity proved to be more bizarre than the Ancestora which Severin had encountered, for it was impervious to conventional methods and even the power of law. With a casual gesture, it siphoned the power of heaven and earth within tens of thousands of miles, transforming it into chaotic energy that filled the sky and destroyed it.Yet, despite the demon's
Even the royal celestials who were said to have consolidated three lifetimes and the flow of time would never approach the river of time with the casual ease that Severin did. They would invariably wield the most formidable celestial weapons and tread forth with the utmost caution. It was a stark contrast to Severin's leisurely stroll.Feeling the toll of tens of thousands of years lost from his lifespan, Severin experienced a pang of distress that was countered by his resolute gaze."This is just the passage of time. It serves only to deepen my understanding of its laws!" he declared.Despite the risks inherent in that endeavor, Severin also recognized the underlying opportunities. Forfeiting his longevity was a small price to pay for him to gain an increasingly profound grasp of temporal law. The next moment, he produced the Green Emperor's Pagoda without hesitation and deployed it above his head to shield himself. At the same time, he took out his Oculus Blade. The two treasures
Severin could not help but shudder as he reflected on the harrowing encounter. He silently acknowledged that it was the protection conferred upon him by the heavenly heart imprint that prevented him from being utterly obliterated by the terrifying force of the swordwill's projection.Gazing upon the tranquil flow of the golden river before him, Severin's expression turned solemn. He surmised that the expansive realm he had glimpsed was none other than the ancient Bleu Celestial Realm. However, the answer as to what sort of cataclysmic event could have prompted the celestial sovereign to unleash his transcendent power and cleave the river of time with a single stroke of divine will remained unknown.Throughout history, individuals of supreme mana and supernatural prowess had sought to obliterate all remnants of the era preceding the intervention. Even with the heavenly heart imprint in his possession, Severin remained unable to peer beyond that veil of that erased era. It was a privil
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
