"Even I don't know whether or not he's serious!" Zachariah shook his head and could not help but sigh. "Why is it becoming so much more difficult for me to understand Severin? Does he have such a powerful friend? That person must be extraordinarily strong if he can save Keagan and Linette from a powerful organization that has thousands of members!"Zenoah nodded too. "He's a miracle doctor who could detect a poison that the Black Cloud Gang claims is completely undetectable! It may be that he saved the life of a certain important person in the past, which is why they're so willing to help him now!"After Severin got into the car, he checked the time and rushed back home when he saw that it was already very late. Once he arrived, he changed into his pajamas, went to Diane's room, and discovered that Diane had already fallen asleep."Sigh!" Severin could not help himself from letting out a disappointed sigh. After all, he had missed out on the chance to take his relationship with Dian
"Dad! Dad!" Selene ran over with a smile as soon as he walked out to the yard."Selene!" Severin squatted down immediately, carried the cute little girl up, and kissed her chubby cheek gently."Does my dress look good, Dad? Mom bought it for me yesterday!" Severin could not help but laugh. "It does! You look good in everything!""How about we go for a walk, Selene? There is a small playground over there!" Severin smiled and brought Selene to play in the nearby playground.…At that moment, there was a meeting between the Blood-Drinker Gang's higher-ups."Damn! This is just despicable." Their gang leader, Tharan, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth angrily."What happened?" A middle-aged woman looked at Tharan and asked."What could Severin's attainment be? Janvar and the five grandmasters that we sent there are all dead. We've lost contact with all of them!""Dead? All of them? But how?!" Everyone was speechless when they heard that. The first three people they sent had d
At that moment, Mick Wheatly—the gang leader of Mus Hall—was worrying about something as he sat in his room. Mus Hall had offended the Blood-Drinker Gang before, which gave the Blood-Drinker Gang an excuse to make a big fuss, saying that they should submit to the Blood-Drinker Gang and pay a considerable amount of money in offerings every month. Any disobedience would lead to the destruction of Mus Hall. Despite his reluctance in agreeing to such terms, he had no choice but to do so for the sake of the lives of Mus Hall's members."Don't you think they're being too tyrannical, Dad?" Mick's daughter, Candy, could not help but sigh when she saw the frown on his face. "They're being bullies!"Mick sighed. "Well, there isn't anything I can do about it, is there? Our hall master was powerful enough to be on the same level as the Blood-Drinker Gang's leader, but now that he's gone, we are no match for Tharan at all. Our deaths are all but certain if we don’t listen to them, and even though
Menkel smiled and said, "Hehe, he has offended the Blood-Drinker Gang in certain matters, and we did send a few of our men to kill him, but he killed them instead. We have been too busy with other matters lately to focus our attention on this, so we felt that it'd be best if you could help me kill him."After a pause, Menkel continued, "By the way, I should warn you that his attainment is probably about level eight or level nine grandmaster. It'd be wise to bring more people with you, and make sure their attainment isn't too low! You can't blame us for not warning you if he ends up killing everyone!""He's that strong?" Mick could not help but frown when he heard that. "It appears we do have to send some very powerful individuals base is so high, it seems that we do have to send out some very powerful people to deal with him. Does he have a backer, though? I wouldn't want our people to be attacked instead when we make our move on him. It'll be very troublesome if that happens."Menk
"I'll go!" Candy offered unexpectedly without waiting for the others to say anything."That is unacceptable. You've only just had a breakthrough and reached level nine grandmaster. It'll be too risky for you to go!" Mick objected right away. "Menkel mentioned earlier that the target might be a level eight or level nine grandmaster. What if he's a seasoned level nine grandmaster? What are you going to do then?"The middle-aged woman thought to herself and finally said to Mick, "Hall Master, I believe Candy here wants to go there to clear her mind a little. Perhaps it won't be much of a problem if I go with her?"Mick finally nodded and said, "Thank you for the trouble then, Lauren."Although Candy was very particular about not being followed by anyone, she knew that her father will stop her from going if Lauren did not follow her. "Okay, I'll head there with Aunt Lauren then. She's a level three profound master too, so I'm sure everything will be fine if I go with her!""Okay, you
"Sigh, that's enough. We're all members of Dracodeus Temple anyway, and I hope that we'll get the chance to meet our supreme leader someday too. If that happens, we wouldn't have to live under duress all the time!" Mick sighed and said helplessly."Forget about it. Even if we do meet the supreme leader, he might not be as reliable as we would hope him to be. It'd be much better for us to rely on ourselves!" Candy shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and then said to Lauren, "When shall we leave, Aunt Lauren?"Lauren smiled and said, "Tomorrow seems good. If we leave in the morning, we should arrive there by noon. It'll give us enough time to prepare before we set about finding information on Severin later in the day!""Okay!" Candy nodded. "Since Aunt Lauren and I are going on official business, shouldn't you give us more travel expenses or something?"Mick nearly fainted. He said to his beloved daughter, "You're just thinking about going shopping, aren't you? Couldn't you be a litt
Chewie smiled and said, "I should have arrived right about yesterday, but certain stuff held me up! No worries though. I'll serve that kid's head on a platter now that I'm here!" Following a brief pause, he continued, "Of course, if you can tell me where he's staying or where his usual routes are, then it'd make things a whole lot easier! His death will come sooner too, rather than later.""Sure, not a problem, I've been hoping for his death for a long time now!" Edward immediately explained Severin's situation to the six stars assassin. By his judgment, having such a skilled assassin would make it incredibly easy to kill his opponent.…Severin had nothing much to do that morning, so he played with Selene and rested at home after lunch.When it was almost time for the working class to clock off that evening, he received a call from his beautiful bodyguard, Abigail."Is something wrong, Abigail?" Severin frowned in puzzlement as he answered the phone since it was rare for the body
"Outside of the city?" Severin frowned and his face turned sullen. "Are they leaving Brookbourn? We won't know which city they're heading to if they're leaving Brookbourn!" After ending his sentence, he suddenly thought of something and said to them, "Do any of you know who has built villas or manors outside the city?"After thinking for a moment, Larry said, "Let me think. Aside from the big villa that the Cedar Gang built on a mountain, there seems to be one near a lake too! It's owned by Rufus of the Chavezes.""Rufus?" Severin frowned when he heard this.For some reason, he recalled the scene where Rufus knelt in front of him and licked his shoes last time. In addition, Rufus had not been unusually quiet in the past few days, and Severin was quite sure that Rufus was behind the kidnapping.As a precaution, however, he asked, "The Horsfields didn't build any big villas outside the city, did they?""Not at all," Larry said confidently."The Zelankos and the Longhorns do have vi
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
