At that moment, Severin walked up to Jada with a smile as he looked at her and said, "Hehe, what a coincidence, Miss Jada! I didn't think we'd meet again so soon! Does this count as fate, in your opinion?”Jada smiled coldly, folded her hands in front of her chest, and said, "Hehe, more like bad luck!"Severin smiled. "By the way, your fiance changed lanes suddenly on the road, but rather than apologizing to my parents, he beat my father up and even asked us to pay three hundred thousand or else he'll cut off my parents' tongues. Why would you be attracted to a bully like him?"Jada's lips twitched a few times, and she looked at Severin disdainfully. "You have no business poking your nose into my affairs."Severin smiled. "Trust me, I'm not interested in your life either. Anyway, he said that he'll pay us three hundred thousand, so did you come here with the money?""Fat chance!" Victor and Quintus had already ended their discussion and began walking over from nearby."Wow, Victo
Victor, Jada, and Quintus looked at the scene in front of them in a daze. Their faces were already ashen from fright."Didn't you say that you hired several elites? Why are they so useless?" Jada did not understand those things and blamed Victor angrily."They looked really strong to me! I didn't expect them to be faking their abilities." Victor did not understand a single thing about attainment and whatnot, hence his similarly confused expression. He paid a lot of money to hire those men, but they ended up getting knocked down so quickly that they failed to even land a blow on Severin! It was thoroughly humiliating."Sir, we didn't fake our abilities. We may be strong, but he's far too strong!" one of the elites said as he collapsed on the ground."Hehe, it's your turn now!" Severin cracked his knuckles. The three of them unconsciously took a step back as soon as they heard that."D-d-d-don't you dare come over, Severin! I'll start moaning if you do!" Jada immediately threatened.
"You..." Quintus felt the burning pain on his face, and his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Severin. There was blood dripping from the corners of his lips too.As soon as Victor saw what was going on, he immediately pulled Quintus to one side and advised, "I don't think you should confront him head-on like that. He's not afraid of anyone, and you stand to lose big time if he cuts off your tongue!" After saying that, he placed his lips close to Quintus's ear and reminded softly, "Let's give in for now. After all, this is Brookbourn, and you'll have plenty of chances to get back at him in the future if you can get out of this with your life intact!""But why should I kneel to him? I'll never do that, especially not to someone like him!" Quintus continued to stare viciously at Severin.Victor thought for a moment. "He's the son of the Novaks, Severin. How about you spare him the act of kneeling and I'll give you four hundred and fifty thousand in exchange.""Do you think this is
"Take it easy, Quintus. He's offended us before, and he's even pissed off the son of one of Brookbourn's second-tier families! His days are numbered from the beginning, and we even hired a very skilled assassin to end his life. There's no point for you to get yourself worked out about someone who already has one foot in the grave!" Jada immediately persuaded Quintus."You hired an assassin?" Quintus seemed to disagree with their decision. "Don't you think you're going too easy on him to kill him like that? I want to see him die by my hand for humiliating me like that!"Victor stepped forward immediately and smiled awkwardly as he said, "I'm sorry that my bodyguards were incompetent. I never thought that he'd be no match for them even when they outnumbered him. I wonder what level grandmaster is he."At that moment, Quintus's two bodyguards had already got up from the ground, but both of them were clutching their chests in pain as they got up.One of them said, "He must be a profoun
"Okay, we promise we'll bring bodyguards with us when we go out in the future."Maurice could only laugh sheepishly. He looked at Severin's angry expression and knew that he only did that because he cared about them."The Novaks might be stronger than they look, Severin. Aren't you afraid of them at all? I'm worried they might try to cause trouble after you demanded three hundred thousand from them and told Quintus to kneel before us!" Judith was still a little worried when she thought about it and felt uneasy throughout the journey home."Don't worry about the Novaks, Mom. We don't have to be afraid of them at all. Trust me!" Severin smiled. "You do realize that it's not just the Longhorns that have a good relationship with us. Even Larry from Draco Hall calls me his sworn brother! Don't worry, okay!"Maurice and Judith breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Severin's reassurance."Sir, a bald man just showed up outside the villa with five people with him," Lillie ran in all of
Janvar knew what his pig-brained comrade was thinking and could not help but smile and say, "You have a point. It would be such a pity to kill them, and it just so happens that there are six of them. We can have one each then, haha! I call dibs on the one with the biggest t*ts!""Disgusting!" Wendy was so incensed by what she heard that she clenched her fists and glared viciously at the six degenerate men in front of her."Let us take them on, master! It's been a while since we've gotten some exercise, and they're right when they say that we can go against them one each!" Kiera said to Severin."Can we kill them, master? Just looking at them makes me sick!" Abigail said angrily.Their responses elicited a smile from Severin as he said, "Sure. I'll leave them to you then! Make sure to kill them!" Severin then looked at the male bodyguards and instructed them, "The girls will deal with them in a bit, and all you have to do is dispose of the corpse!""Understood!" The male bodyguards
"Look! Do you see those bodyguards carrying out several bodies and throwing them in the boot of the car? Are they going to dispose of those bodies?" Quintus was startled to see what was happening.Jada then immediately pulled the car aside and looked at them from a distance. When she saw that it was exactly as Quintus described, she could not help remarking, "Someone probably went to cause trouble at Severin's place again but got killed in the end. He sure has made a lot of enemies!""A lot? How many?" Quintus then remarked with a grin, "I don't care how many enemies he's made, but he's going to get himself killed for offending me!"Jada then said, "Aside from us, he offended Easton Lough and Edward Horsfield too. Oh, and his wife, Diane, is very beautiful too. Some of the rich young men call her the most beautiful woman in Brookbourn, and Rufus Chavez once tried plotting against them because he wanted to kill Severin and make Diane his!"Quintus could not help but feel a little mo
Severin picked up the phone, looked at the caller ID, and saw that Sheila was the one calling him. He could not help but frown because she was an unusually difficult girl to deal with. Unfortunately, ignoring her call would be unwise because she was the daughter of Brookbourn Mansion's leader.After putting some more thought into it, Severin accepted the call with some reluctance. "Hello, Sheila. Is something the matter?" he asked as soon as the call connected."My handsome Severin! Please come as soon as you can! My dad just vomited blood this afternoon, and now he's unconscious on the bed! I don't know what to do right now!" Sheila's voice sounded helpless over the phone and she was already choking up.Severin frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "But, when I went there this morning, your father kicked me out and accused me of being a quack with no medical ethics. If I'm honest, I have no intention of treating people who make such remarks about my ability!"Sheila w
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
