Following the edict that soared across the Nine Heavens toward the ten domain masters in the Celestial Realm, none dared refuse or disobey the summons. Their orders became the talk of the entire Celestial Realm.Meanwhile, in Midland, Severin lounged upon a rocking chair in the courtyard of Enchanted Peak while leisurely soaking in the sun's rays. Beside him, his four regally-dressed wives engaged in lively conversation, exchanging their thoughts and aspirations in attainment with bright eyes and radiant smiles. Meanwhile, Hardin and Selene had sibling bonding time.The peaceful environment was soon disrupted by a streak of light that descended from the heavens. A sigil exuding authority had been delivered unto Severin's hands. In an instant, information flooded Severin's mind and elicited a drastic change in his expression. "A summoning order from the royal celestials?"Having spent two years within the Celestial Realm, Severin had become well-acquainted with many of its facets, an
Half a day later, Severin sat in the Grand Preceptor's Throne in the sacred land's main hall while Adrian and the other true immortals gathered below. They glanced up at Severin, whose gaze swept across the Longevity Alliance before saying slowly, "The royal celestials' summoning order indicates that tension at the border sea is starting to grow. I intend to bring along several true immortals to accompany me to the border. The Longevity Alliance will be in your care now, master."Adrian nodded gravely and said, "Rest assured, Severin. As long as I am here, the Longevity Alliance will remain steadfast!"Severin had planned to enlist the aid of his wives in his journey to the border sea, along with Carson, Amethyst, and Jaxon. That would leave Adrian to safeguard the alliance, and Adrian would be entrusted with the Green Emperor's Pagoda.Although Adrian was a true immortal, his rise to immortality happened fairly recently and he had yet to refine his own immortal weapon. Thus, his st
Jaxon then reached a bottleneck that lasted many thousands of years before he could become an immortal. Were it not for Severin's pill that gave him a boost, he would probably still be wasting time trying to achieve immortality. That experience was what led Jaxon to nearly pour scorn on the Celestial Realm's prodigies, as they had used the strong aura of the Celestial Realm and the perfected rules of heaven and earth as tools to achieve immortality.Compared to sheer perseverance and hard work such as that put in by Jaxon, many of those so-called prodigies from the Celestial Realm did not have a solid attainment path.Severin smiled knowingly after listening to Jaxon's words. Confidence was key, but too much of it could be detrimental. The spatial laws activated around him were soon activated as Severin maneuvered the airship several thousands of miles. The landscapes below turned into a complete blur. Guided by the sigil that he held, Severin stood at the helm and soon came to behol
After regaining his composure, Severin swiftly grabbed the two true immortals who had spoken earlier and asked in surprise, "Gentlemen, this Hartberg Mutwalden that you speak of… Has he ever been given the nickname 'Old Wacko'?"The true immortal was initially displeased when Severin grabbed him out of nowhere, but he quickly calmed himself down upon sensing the faint aura of a royal celestial emanating from Severin. He replied calmly, "Yes. He does go by that sometimes."Observing Severin's entourage, the other true immortal—who was a much shorter guy—noted that Carson and the others exuded a formidable strength. After glancing cautiously all around, he lowered his voice and cautioned, "Tread carefully, my friend. Word on the street is that he's got a very odd character, and his strength rivals that of only quasi-royal celestials. Last I heard, he abducted Gyddur's daughter and even toyed around with the extraterrestrial royal celestial Verdanto. You need to be careful when associat
The entire Realmgate City was meticulously arranged according to the shape of a trigram. It was essentially a massive formation that served to seal off the passage to the border sea beyond!After guiding his group to their residence on Eighth Street, Severin started unpacking so he could settle in. As he was about to finish packing, a green stone tablet suddenly materialized in the sky above Realmgate City. Emitting a majestic aura, it bore golden runes on its surface.[Hartberg has earned a hundred points after slaying the Devil Realm's royal celestial, Busriv, on the border sea battlefield in 2180 C.C. (Celestial Calendar). He now boasts a total of two thousand merit points and is currently ranked first on the True Dragon Board!]Severin was rendered speechless upon seeing the announcement. "The old wacko seems to have become rather powerful now."The green stone tablet was none other than the True Dragon Board! Crafted from fragments of an ancient heavenly treasure known as the
Inside the cave, a disheveled and sloven old man wearing a white robe was gleefully counting the trophies within his spatial ring. Those trophies had all been obtained after his victory over a celestial lord on the border sea's battlefield. At that moment, a token-shaped mysterious light penetrated the cave's restrictions and appeared in front of the old man."Open the door, old man," the voice echoed.It had been ages since the old wacko heard anyone call him that. He was stunned at first, but anger soon filled his face as he wondered who could have been so audacious as to speak to him in such a manner.As he was about to have an aneurysm, he felt that the that the voice in the token was somehow very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. All of a sudden, the old wacko recalled the disciple he had once accepted on Earth—a young man named Severin Feuillet!After coming back to his senses, he stood up in a face full of disbelief and extended his divine senses beyond his a
Severin's pupils suddenly contracted in shock. With the appearance of the heavenly heart imprints, it was no wonder that those royal celestials would make such a significant move. It was a divine artifact, after all, one that harbored the secret of the Bleu Celestial Realm's original space.Severin's heart tightened at that realization. He, too, possessed a fragment of the heavenly heart imprint. Should such information be made known to the public, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of several royal celestials. At that moment, he resolved secretly to conceal the heavenly heart imprints.After spending most of the day reminiscing with the old wacko, Severin felt incredibly pleased as he departed. Before he left, he informed the old wacko where he and the Longevity Alliance was staying and extended an invitation for him to join them. However, the old man declined and merely bid Severin farewell with a smile.As Severin's figure faded into the distance, a flicker of relief grac
Severin frowned as he observed the menacing aura coming from the nine quasi-royal celestials and several hundred true immortals on the other side. They exuded a pure sense of malevolence, and it was Severin's first encounter with an extraterrestrial practitioner in the flesh.Their appearances closely resembled that of humans, yet they possessed a peculiar power capable of distorting the laws of heaven and earth. The power seemed to lack a discernible source and defied detection. Severin found himself mildly astonished as he beheld the extraterrestrial practitioners standing amidst the chaotic void with only their physical forms.Even a flawless true immortal would succumb to the unforgiving grasp of the void. Without the protective shroud of the Celestial Realm's fetal membrane, a true immortal would likely face utter annihilation by the chaotic energy within the boundless chaotic sea.The brooding state of the extraterrestrial practitioners on the opposite side of the border sea,
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
