"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
"Hehe, his wife's name is Diane, and she's the eldest daughter of the Shanahans. She's very experienced in life, and she's also known to be a stereotypical cold-hearted businesswoman. Many rich guys deemed her the number one most beautiful woman in Brookbourn, which is probably why many of them hate Severin to the core!"Lucy sneered coldly. "She may be good-looking, but she's incredibly stupid! She got pregnant with Severin's child after a one-night stand, and to make things worse, she decided to keep the baby! The Shanahans were just a third-tier family at the time, and her grandmother valued their reputation above all else. So..." She recounted Severin's entire relationship with Diane.Cain admired Diane even more when he heard that. "Based on what you told me, she sounds like a pretty good person. She kept the baby, raised her child, and even waited for Severin for five years. Such women are far and few in between nowadays!"Lucy did not expect Cain to lavish so much praise on D
"Do you really expect this girl to go up against all my men?" Cain looked at Severin and asked in surprise, for he did not expect that Severin would let the blonde girl make a move.Severin smiled calmly and said, "I don't need to bother with a group of trash like you!""Haha, then let's see if you'll end up having to raise your hand against us!" Cain nodded, then said to his men, "Beat that woman until she can no longer walk. Don't hold back just because she's a woman!""As you wish!" The men immediately surrounded Candy."Tch!" Candy snorted coldly. As a level nine grandmaster, she had long been seeking the opportunity to try her skills on a worthy opponent. Such chances did not come often though, and she was excited at the prospect of finally engaging an opponent in a battle.Candy took the initiative to face his attack head-on, and she moved so quickly that the men were all sent flying with a punch. The men with the highest attainment level in the group were level three and le
Lucy did not understand a single thing, but she felt that the glow on Cain's fist was very cool and was thus under the impression that Cain must be stronger than Severin. She was instantly overwhelmed with joy as she said to him, "Kill him, Cain! He's the reason your men died!"Cain responded with a cold snicker. "No. I just want to cripple him. Those who have everything after achieving such a level of attainment would suffer more when they end up having everything taken away from them. Rendering him completely powerless is crueler than anything else. I want him to watch me marry you, and we'll keep bullying him for the rest of his life!"Lucy's eyes lit up when she heard that too. "This sounds good too! Let's do it your way, then!""Do you honestly think you're capable of that?" Severin was still hesitating over whether to kill Cain. After all, they were classmates for several years, and he was only acting that way because he had been smitten by Lucy. Severin felt a little soft-hea
Considering all the vicious remarks Lucy made toward Severin earlier, it should not come as a surprise that Severin would decide to punish her once he was done with Cain. Going by the sheer strength that Severin had, no one could do anything to him even if he murdered someone in Brookbourn."He's…he's too strong!" Cain gritted his teeth and spoke in a serious tone.Severin walked toward him slowly and said with a sneer, "I've already given you a chance, Cain, but it's unfortunate that you failed to cherish it. Since the friendship we once had is worth nothing to you, then I can't be blamed for having to do this to you!""What do you plan on doing, Severin? I'll have you know that I have strong backers! You'll be dead if you kill me!" After Cain gritted his teeth, he quickly took out a token, and said, "Do you see this? I'm a helmsman of Cherridom's Slasher Gang! You'll be making an enemy out of the entire gang if you lay a hand on me, and by then, you'll be as good as dead!"Lucy's
Severin could not help but feel amused when he saw how frightened Lucy was. After all, she looked miserable for someone who earlier vowed to kill him that day."Oh, Lucy. How low can you stoop to? Did you honestly think there's anything you can do for me that will convince me to let you off?" Severin smiled coldly with a hint of disdain in his eyes.Lucy pulled down her neckline to reveal her cleavage and said, "I…all I have is my body. I can give it to you if you want, but please just don't kill me! I promise I won't tell your wife!""F*ck off!" Severin glanced coldly at her and said, "You disgust me, and I wouldn't want to go blind looking at that body of yours!" After making his point clear, Severin looked at the familiar face in despair and finally said, "I won't kill you because you're a woman and I feel like it's beneath me to a powerless b*tch like you. I just want you to slap yourself twenty times!""O-o-okay, I…I'll do it right now!" Lucy was instantly relieved after heari
"Are you sure you want to get revenge on Severin? Didn't you see how strong he was?" Lucy was starting to feel scared of the man. After all, things did not end well for Edward, Easton, and anyone else who provoked Severin. She even felt that he had something to do with Draco Hall wiping out the Chavezes all of a sudden.It was likely that Severin did not kill her because she had once been in a relationship with him for several years, and there was no guarantee that Severin would still spare her if their next attempt to kill him failed too.Cain said with a cold smile, "You have no idea how strong the Slasher Gang is and how many strong individuals are in there. I'm just a weak helmsman, and the reason I even managed to secure that position is because I spent a lot of money to buy that status. The Slasher Gang is much more terrifying than the gangs in Brookbourn because their organization is a very powerful one that spans across the globe!""That's good to hear. We should call someon
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
