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
On the other side, high above Ingeni Paradise, Callide's eyes were open wide and she had an astonished expression after narrowly surviving a certain doom. In her confrontation with Rumine, she found herself bested and thrust into a dire situation despite pulling out all the stops.Yet Severin was able to kill Rumine with a single attack, prompting Callide to ask with some disbelief, "Are you now a perfect-stage royal celestial?"Severin affirmed with a nod. "I am. It's all thanks to the fragment of the heavenly heart imprint which I was able to obtain from the chaotic void a century ago."Overwhelmed by the confirmation from Severin, Callide shuddered and inhaled sharply. It was clear that This was no ordinary adversary. She recalled that Severin was only a true immortal when he first entered the Celestial Realm. He had later earned her favor by slaying Robyn, a quasi-royal celestial. His rapid ascent to royal celestial status a century prior had been astounding enough, but to now r
Upon his return to Enchanted Peak, Severin wasted no time in making arrangements. The only way to harness the fortunes of all races was to reclaim the Heaven Palace. With that in mind, he Summoned the quasi-royal celestials of the Longevity Alliance to the courtyard. Adrian, Amethyst, and the old wacko—amongst others—gathered in response to his call.Seeing as all members of the Longevity Alliance were already there, Severin wasted no time in laying out the grim reality. "The extraterrestrials' dark upheaval has been persisting for decades. Even Lawrence from the Heaven Palace has succumbed to their attacks. We are now at a clear disadvantage. Therefore, I propose a united effort to gather the fortunes of all races and launch an assault on the Heaven Palace. Does anyone have any objections?" he asked, his tone inviting discussion.As expected, opinions varied. The Old Wacko was the first to voice his concerns. "Are you suggesting that we re-establish the Ancient Imperial Court?" he
"What brings you here today, Severin?"Severin took a sip of spiritual tea and stated his purpose swiftly.Creatia's thoughts were thrown into chaos when he was informed that the Longevity Alliance planned to collect the fortunes of all races and do what even Lawrence could not accomplish.He glanced at Severin from head to toe and sensed an unfathomable yet terrifying pressure coming from the latter. "If I may… How did you cross that threshold of strength?"Creatia could never have predicted that Severin would be able to destroy Rumine with a single blow. It was a feat that only quasi-celestial regents would be able to achieve.Severin kept mum on that and swiftly shifted the conversation by announcing Ingeni Paradise's cooperation. Creatia fell into deep contemplation upon learning of Callide's agreement. He was acutely aware of the Celestial Realm's dire circumstances, and pledged his allegiance after some hesitance. "Since Callide has committed to this cause, then I and my sec
