In the secluded training room of the courtyard, Severin, who was contemplating the heavenly heart imprint, heard the conversation between Adrian and Amethyst through his outwardly projected divine sense. He secretly pondered whether the extraterrestrial races were truly closing in step by step. With this thought in mind, he withdrew his divine sense and cut off his primal spirit's perception of the heavenly heart imprint.Inside the training room, Severin, who seemed carved out of wood or molded from clay, suddenly opened his eyes. Divine light flickered within his eyes, like two dazzling galaxies; it was overwhelming to behold. Countless great paths shimmered within his pitch-black eyes, as if countless universes were collapsing and being reborn in the blink of an eye.After a hundred years of seclusion, Severin had undergone tremendous changes. He no longer exuded the imposing majesty of the past; instead, everything about him now seemed natural, in harmony with the great path. Mor
Seeing Amethyst's astonished expression, Severin said impatiently, "Just celestial king complete-stage.""Are you sure that you're not above the celestial king level already?" Amethyst widened his eyes and swallowed hard, unable to believe that Severin was still only a celestial king.He felt that even the shock caused by facing Sakya last time was not as great as the shock he was feeling at that moment. After all, he was already a cultivator at the soon-to-be celestial king level.The term "soon-to-be celestial king" at least contained the words "celestial king" and granted him some of the abilities of a celestial king after obtaining a past, present, and future. Therefore, the perception of a soon-to-be celestial king towards a celestial king was supposed to be almost the same.However, this perception seemed to fail in front of Severin. Amethyst probably would not even know how he died if he was to face Severin in a fight. Thus, it was understandable for him to be extremely shoc
The entire Eastern Domain no longer resembled its former magnificence; everything was fragmented, with mountains, rivers, and land in disarray.Standing at the bow of the boat, Severin surveyed the scene with an expressionless face. At that point in time, Eastern Domain was not the only place facing such a situation in the celestial realm.The heavenly palace atop Novedivum Palace, as the foremost power in the celestial realm, attracted much attention after the outbreak of the dark mayhem. Lawrence and Libra suffered greatly from the joint attacks of several extraterrestrial celestial kings. Although they persisted for over a hundred years, their situation remained precarious.Countless lives were lost or injured in the vast territories of the Westregion and Southern Domain due to the dark mayhem. Compared to these areas, the situation in the Eastern Domain was considered to be relatively better.Severin shook his head and activated the vast divine sense within his upper energy cor
Severin did not bother to chase after Trobi. After all, Trobi had been thoroughly frightened by him.With a light grasp of his hand, Severin summoned the fragment of spiritual root before him. To his surprise, it was as thick as a thumb and exuded a Clearwater aura while its shape resembled the divine beast Black Turtle."Hmm? It's a fragment of the Four Elements Divine Tree!" Severin exclaimed in amazement. No wonder he had felt an opportunity in the Eastern Domain; it was the Four Elements Divine Tree after all!With this fragment in hand, Severin had already gathered three-quarters of the Four Elements Divine Tree. All that remained was to patiently search for the final fragment representing the Vermilion Bird to complete the full version of the Four Elements Divine Tree.The complete version of the Four Elements Divine Tree ranked first on the spiritual root list! Not only could this tree produce four divine weapons comparable to ultimate celestial weapons but it could also giv
Severin graciously accepted Creatia's offer and reached out to take the branch imbued with the Vermillion Bird's fire attribute. He said to Creatia in joy, "I just so happen to be in need of this, and it would be bad manners to refuse your gesture too. Thank you very much for this."The pretentious attitude that Severin displayed left Creatia feeling a pang in her heart. He had been discovered the branch amidst the ruins of the ancient Celestial Realm shortly after becoming a royal celestial. It had been with him for countless eras, and yet it ended up in the hands of someone else. With a somber smile, Creatia bid Severin farewell.Severin eagerly stowed away all the fragments of the two spiritual branches into his inner world. As they merged with the Four Elements Divine Tree, the very essence of origin seemed to stir within. Within the confines of his inner world there appeared swirling winds, billowing clouds, crackling lightning, and roaring thunder. A golden chaotic divine light
Above the river of time, Rumine strode upon a path made of divine light. His eyes were ablaze with unbridled greed as he looked intently at Callide.All nine of his heads erupted into shrill, mocking laughter. "Oh, Callide! The Heaven Palace is surrounded by our forces. Those two old bags Lawrence and Libra won't be able to withstand this much longer. I will guarantee your survival if you surrender to us and become my partner. Perhaps you might even get the chance to ascend to the rank of quasi-celestial regent."Callide rolled her eyes and spat out mercilessly, "Not a chance. It is you who should be surrendering to us. I shall consider sparing your life if you do so."With a swift motion of her delicate white hands, she unleashed a colorful ribbon that shattered the void and exerted pressure upon the 3,000 paths."You're quite the stubborn one, I see!" Rumine grew visibly agitated and snorted. "The Heaven Palace is under siege, and my comrades are mobilizing our ancestors as we sp
After a disdainful snort, the weapon in his grasp burst forth with a divine glow, and the murky-colored flag unfurled a beam of light that stretched a million miles. With a resounding bang, the clash of the two weapons echoed, unleashing a deafening explosion. The shockwave tore through the void, fissuring the chains of the surrounding paths. Already weary, Callide staggered under the assault as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. She had suffered severe injuries.Rumine's nine faces smiled slyly as he observed Callide's plight. "Don't hold out hope. You're in a dire situation right now. The Heaven Palace is no longer, and Lawrence has fallen too. Even the Clear Wind Sect and Tri Celestial Island are besieged by my forces. Do you think Severin will somehow come to your aid after years and years of seclusion?" Rumine prepared to make a decisive strike that would allow him to seize Callide once and for all, finally putting an end to his days of yearning for such a beauty.Yet,
The setting sun was as red as blood in the Nine Heavens above the Bleu Celestial Realm. The once prosperous Heaven Palace was in ruins, its wall broken and with gravel strewn all over.At the gate of Pure Heart Hall, Oliver led four royal celestials, including Loachk and Verdanto, to bask in the scene of their doing.He felt a sudden sense of loneliness, almost as if the world had become bereft of things that could excite him.The Heaven Palace that once stood in the way of the extraterrestrial royal celestials has finally been conquered. Lawrence and Libra, who were known as the first royal celestials in the Celestial Realm, had ended up being killed by the weapons. Oliver seemed to feel as though he had unlocked the gates to the entire Celestial Realm, thus allowing he and his group free reign to do as they pleased.At that very moment, however, the heavens and earth wept blood, while lightning struck from every direction. Sensing Rumine's fading presence, Oliver's expression con
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
