"What's the point of waiting when I'm right in front of you?" Severin taunted, as his figure exited the rift and came to the devil realm.When Eliza heard Severin's voice echoing from the rift, his pupils contracted violently and his face contorted with horror."How are you able to cross the rift and enter the devil realm?" he exclaimed. He had already explored the rift some time ago and concluded that it was only capable of accommodating practitioners below the level of a supreme paragon. Had it allowed passage of stronger practitioners, he would not have gone into the rift instead of sending Esmael and several royal paragons there.Yet standing before him was a true immortal who defied the rift's limitations and crossed into the Devil Realm. It was a shocking revelation that sent waves of panic and disbelief through Eliza. Once he regained his composure, a sly grin crept across his face as he said, "I garner that the secret within you is far grander than I anticipated. To think th
Severin stood in the air with his eyes narrowed slightly as he observed Eliza's lethal moves."It seems that this ancient royal celestial has something to show in terms of strength," he mused to himself. The law of death that emanated from the Human Skin Flag had already reached its height of power—true immortals who were on Eliza's level would have succumbed to its touch.Each of the three thousand paths could be trained to a high level of mastery and possess the potential to annihilate everything in its path. Severin harbored no illusions about Eliza's abilities, he swiftly took out the Oculus Blade and unleashed several audible sword beams. The resulting explosion split open the gray mist in a sound akin to that of thunder.Eliza's pupils contracted as he beheld the celestial weapon in Severin's grasp. "Your possession of a most potent celestial weapon will only heighten my curiosity about your secrets," he remarked.As an ancient true immortal, Eliza possessed keen insight tha
Severin might not know what Ultimate Sublimation was, he sensed that something was amiss with Eliza.The path of death in Eliza's body had surged dramatically, as if the wielder had become the omnipotent master. The energy of death from the surroundings were all gathering in Eliza's position.The strong wind blew Eliza's hair, and his countenance shifted drastically to exude an aura of supreme authority. He resembled an emperor commanding mountains and rivers, gazing down upon all creation with pride.With an air of calm superiority, Eliza glanced at the oncoming sword beam and effortlessly sent it away. He glanced at Severin and said in a measured tone, "You're one of the lucky ones who forced me into employing Ultimate Sublimation."He advanced forward and vanished immediately from the spot. Chains of deathly energy then began to coil around Severin like vengeful serpents.Yet, Severin swiftly countered with the Oculus Blade, parrying away the deathly chains as the blade's formi
Inside the Eliza Sect, an early-stage true immortal elder was overcome with shock when he witnessed their founder's bloodied face."Eliza is injured! How is this even possible?"Terror began to grip the Eliza Sect's practitioners as they realized that their ancestor was facing an unexpected and unprecedented defeat. Many of the age-old practitioners within the sect had lived for tens of thousands of years, yet that was their first time witnessing such an occasion! Everyone was shocked.It was unimaginable to think that an ancient true immortal like Eliza would be at a disadvantage against a true immortal. The Eliza Sect's reputation as one of the top five powers in the devil realm rested on the might of their Eliza, who had up until then succeeded in suppressing all his enemies.The true immortal elder's horrified exclamation did not sit well with one of the perfect-stage half-immortal elders from the Eliza Sect. The latter had a fanatical admiration for Eliza, and he shook his hea
Unfortunately, Severin did not accept Eliza's offer nor heeded his advice. He was already determined to end Eliza's existence. Severin bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence towards the Oculus Blade. At the same time, the power of the heavenly heart imprints surged forth and empowered the Oculus Blade.The aura of his celestial weapon sent shockwaves through most of the Devil Realm. Dark clouds appeared in the sky like the onset of a cataclysmic event.In a splendid palace on the sky high above, King Luther was midway through a game of chess with Oliver when he sensed a familiar aura. It reminded him of the celestial weapon he once faced in Bleurealm after his journey through the river of time.King Luther's movements froze briefly."What is it?" Oliver asked with a smile."Nothing," King Luther dismissed those thoughts and chalked it up to his overthinking.Royal celestials like himself were able to oversee the passage of time. No disturbance could es
Severin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead when he saw Eliza's lifeless body floating before him. "That ancient true immortal was truly worthy of the Celestial Lord title. He almost had me there."The memory of Eliza's near-supernatural powers left a lasting impression on Severin. Without the Small Thousand World within him, the heavenly heart imprints, and the celestial weapon, and the space-time domain that formed the trump card of the space-time path, he would have never been able to stand a chance against Eliza.Severin grew more cautious and apprehensive about the impending realm convergence, which was due in another two months. If a Celestial Lord could pose such a threat, then there was no telling what quasi-royal celestial or a royal celestial was capable of doing.A Celestial Lord was nothing more than an ancient true immortal. They were individuals who had picked up the rules of heaven and earth before the world became fragments. Their power was strong enough for them
Although Eliza was only a true immortal, he was an ancient one at that, and his combat power rivaled that of a quasi-royal celestial. The notion that such a figure had suddenly perished was simply too shocking.King Luther's soul bridged heaven and earth and scanned across the entire devil realm. At long last, he detected certain clues and beheld Severin dashing wildly through Eliza Sect with Eliza's lifeless form.He was momentarily stunned when he saw Severin and could not believe his own eyes. That denizen from Bleurealm had somehow gotten the guts to venture into the Devil Realm! Snapping out of his daze, King Luther seethed to himself, still haboring resentment from his humiliating encounter back in Bleurealm when Severin destroyed his projection. King Luther had intended to settle the score after the realms converged, and it came as a huge shock that Severin would be audacious enough to enter the Devil Realm.Though he was unsure how Severin managed to arrive there, he harbore
In the modern era, traversing the Chaos Realm Sea was the only route from the Devil Realm to the Celestial Realm. Due to its governance by the royal celestials, and the membrane of the world that formed its shield, progress from the Devil Realm remained stagnated.Discovering a new passage to the Celestial Realm or Bleurealm would mark a significant triumph for Oliver, but Severin slipped away because both he and King Luther had not reacted quickly enough.He turned to King Luther and noticed the traces of anger borne on King Luther's expression. "The intruder bears a fragment of the heavenly heart imprint, thus enabling him to escape heaven's scrutiny," Oliver explained. "Our oversight allowed him to breach our realm, and it is incredibly frustrating that he had killed one of the Devil Realm's true immortals!"Oliver intentionally omitted King Luther's attempt earlier, as he knew it would be prudent not to further incite his wrath. Having known each other for countless eras, Oliver
