Across the Nine Heavens Ten Lands in the Bleu Celestial Realm, all living beings felt their souls tremble as if some mighty entity had been born.Amidst that sense of unease, vivid images of 3,000 paths shimmering with divine light flooded their minds. The phenomenon seemed to transcend time and space, etching themselves into every being's consciousness. It was as though their minds were no longer their own, but instead, was being overridden by those inexplicable visions. Generally speaking, only beings below that of royal celestial would experience something like that, but it had reached a point where even the great royal celestials found themselves grappling with those intrusive images.Inside Heaven Palace's Pure Heart Hall, Oliver was busy comprehending the laws of heaven and earth when those uncontrollable visions jolted him from his reverie. "What's happening?" Oliver's eyes widened, mobilizing his vast celestial power in a futile attempt to expel the strange visions.Within s
Meanwhile, as Severin ascended his inner world to a Great Thousand Worlds, he remained oblivious to the tidal wave his breakthrough to quasi-celestial regent status would unleash in the realm.Gazing upon the thousands of perfected laws materializing within his inner universe and intertwining with one another in the original space, Severin's breathing began to quicken. He closed his eyes and discovered that he could maintain a connection to the entire realm without using his mana, divine senses, or physical strength.With but a thought, a divine light manifested before him, forging a celestial weapon from thin air. Following another thought, the weapons was destroyed and fashioned into golden celestial pills. With yet another thought, 1,296,000 cave worlds appeared around him, connecting the chaotic sea and transforming it into the essence of heaven and earth.In mere moments, those worlds cycled through eons, witnessing the rise and fall of civilizations up until their collapse int
Severin shook his head solemnly. "I will not grant unto you that luxury."No sooner had he uttered those words than the horror-stricken Oliver felt the thread of his destiny severed abruptly. Though enlightenment had eluded him since time immemorial, death had found him swiftly. An almighty force that spanned across the realm and poured light over time and space obliterated him in an instant.Helpless against such overwhelming power, Oliver knew his demise was imminent. Yet, the primal instinct to survive drove him to one final, manic, desperate act—self-destruction.The power from a royal celestial's self-destruction was formidable enough to threaten the very fabric of the Nine Heavens. Fractures appeared across Oliver's body, and destructive light burst from the cracks. However, all form of resistance proved futile against a quasi-celestial regent like Severin.Severin then remarked expressionless, "I had intended to spare a fragment of your soul, as your plans in the devil realm
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
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
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 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
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
