"The Blood-Drinker Gang's second elder?" Severin frowned immediately after hearing this."Yeah, his name is Menkel Wagford, and he's an old man whose attainment is about the same as my dad's. They're both level seven profound masters. He's stronger than my dad though, and he's a big old pervert too!"Candy was clearly a little angry when she mentioned the phrase 'old pervert', and she even clenched her fists involuntarily.Severin could not help but ask curiously when she saw Candy's angry look. "How do you know he's a pervert?""Hmph, if Mus Hall were pushovers and my dad wasn't the hall master, his hands would probably be all over me long ago! He always has this lewd expression on his face whenever he ogles me!" Candy explained.Severin smiled. "Well, since he's coming too, he'll be dead before the end of the night!""Hehe, I'm so glad to hear that from you, sir! My dad and the others will probably be here soon!" Candy's mood improved much more after thinking about Menkel's dea
The old wacko never told Severin that whoever wore the ring would become the supreme leader, and he felt as if he had been given a huge headache with the responsibility of handling such a force. After all, the force established by the old wacko was divided into twelve smaller ones, and Severin did not have the faintest idea where the rest of them were."Hehe, it's hilarious when you say that!" Candy laughed from the side. Before long, the two of them reached a famous nearby restaurant, and they prepared to enter the premises as soon as the car was parked."It's been a while, Severin. What a coincidence!" To Severin's surprise, a familiar voice came from behind before he could enter the restaurant with Candy.Severin frowned immediately and turned around to see Lucy, who was holding Cain's arm."I didn't expect you and Cain to be here too!" Severin remarked while chiding them in his heart. Lucy was in Cain's embrace, and Cain had his arm around Lucy's waist. As expected, Severin kne
Severin looked at the fat man in front of him and persuaded, "You've been abroad for several years, Cain, and you don't have the slightest idea of Lucy's character. She's a scheming gold-digger extraordinaire! Did you really think she's with you because she fell in love with you? She just thinks you're rich! Better think twice before you're in too deep!" Severin paused for a moment before finally saying, "You'll one day regret being with her!"However, he did not expect Cain to hold such extreme views, for Cain smiled at Severin and said, "Regret? I won't regret it at all! I'm well aware that she loves me for my money, but I don't mind at all! It's because I have money that I can satisfy her vanity!" He even seemed a little proud when he said that. "I couldn't get her in the past because I'm not handsome, and I didn't have any money either. Things are different now. Even though I haven't turned into a handsome hunk, I'm rich now, and I'm content with having her! At the very least, I w
"Sir!" The dozen or so men greeted Cain in unison after arriving there."At ease." Cain nodded lightly and told them to stand guard there. He then pointed to Severin and Candy, who had already taken their seat in the restaurant and was making their order. "Give that couple a good beating when they leave the restaurant, then call me so we can all humiliate that man!""Yes, sir!" The dozen or so men responded immediately and then waited at one side.Their imposing manner delighted Lucy greatly, and she felt that she had chosen the right man. Cain seemed to be a very capable individual who was rich and had many people under his command too."By the way, Cain, I just wanted to remind you that Severin is a master fighter. Even though you brought a lot of your men over, I'm still worried that they're not a match for him. I can feel that Severin will have no problems going against all of them at once!" Lucy thought for a moment and decided to remind Cain.In response, Cain said confident
"No, but darling, my wife! We've been together for years now. You won't leave me, will you?" Easton regarded Lucy as the last good thing in his life, because Lucy's family was doing rather well and had several million worth in assets. Although he could not bring himself to ask her for money, the Orwells had only one daughter, which meant that he would receive support from her family in the future as long as she married him.That, coupled with the Loughs' experience in doing business, made him believe that there was hope for a comeback as long as he had a bit of money. Moreover, the Loughs did not owe a lot of money, and the total amount they owed was about three hundred thousand dollars at most. That sum was not that big in Easton's eyes, and since he was a poor man, it would be difficult for him to have a beautiful woman like Lucy to be his wife. He regretted his actions since the day before, and when he saw Lucy there at the restaurant, he immediately mustered up his courage to try
Lucy did not even bother to look at him. She merely took out ten bucks from her wallet and threw it on the ground. "Well, since we've been together for a few years now, why don't you take this and get some beer to drink? Giving you this money won't make me look that heartless, right? Haha!"She then turned around without looking back at him and walked over to take Cain's arm as they entered the restaurant."I'm not a beggar, Lucy!" Easton gritted his teeth and said as he looked at the humiliating paper bill on the ground. He picked it up, tore it into several pieces, and walked to the side of the road. When he walked up to a bench by the roadside, he lay down on it as tears dripped uncontrollably down his face.Unbeknownst to him, an old man happened to be passing by at that moment. The old man had white hair and a white beard, and he wore a strange long gown that seemed a little out of place with the fashion in the city.He looked at Easton and could not help but frown. "Tsk, tsk.
"Wouldn't I need a long time to achieve that? I want him to die right now!" Easton's eyes were filled with unbridled hatred as he gritted his teeth.The old man smiled in response. "Haha, with your good physique and talent, you'll have no problem dominating a small city like Brookbourn within a year as long as you agree to be my apprentice. Just imagine how strong you'll eventually become if you train with me for another two or three years!"Seduced by the old man's promise of power, a gleam flashed in Easton's eyes and he nodded. "All right. I'll spare them for now. There will be plenty of time for me to get revenge on them once I'm done with my training!" He then knelt and kowtowed to the old man. "Master, please accept this bow from your apprentice!""Wonderful! This is perfect!"The old man nodded in satisfaction. "I'll give you an hour to say your last farewells to your family. Once that hour is up, I'll bring you out of Brookbourn. I have something urgent to handle, so after
"What's on your mind, sir?" Candy smiled awkwardly and asked when she saw that Severin had stopped talking all of a sudden.Her question snapped Severin back to his senses as he said with a smile, "Oh, nothing. I just felt that change comes at you fast in this world!""Hehe!" Candy smiled and asked, "Do you think so? You used to be a student, but now you've become our supreme leader—a man among men! Now you can spend on expensive stuff without having to worry at all. Shouldn't you be happy?"Severin nodded. "You're right. I should be happy. After all, it takes time to know a person's true nature, and some people only reveal their colors when you know them for a long time. I'm glad I can protect my family now, and I'm content with making them happy!" He felt much better after remembering his parents, Diane, and his lovely daughter Selene."Let's have a toast, Supreme Leader!" Candy was unaware that Severin had reminisced about a lot of things in just a few short minutes and raised h
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
