"Hehe, the needle did land in a rather awkward location!" Kiera could not help but tease when she saw Abigail's blushing face. "Then again, you're lucky it landed in your thigh. What if it was your boob or your butt? Wouldn't that be even more awkward?"When Abigail heard that, her pretty face turned even redder, and she immediately rolled her eyes at Kiera. "What are talking about, Kiera? If that happened, he'll probably tell you to suck it instead of sucking it himself! A line has to be drawn when it comes to things that men can do with women!"In response, Kiera said, "We can't say for sure. He's a doctor, and a miracle doctor too. I'm not, and neither are you. There might be certain things that require him to pay more attention to when helping you suck out the poison from your blood, such as the strength of the sucking or the motion. I might not have enough control over such actions, and it'd be even worse if I accidentally swallowed the poison after sucking it out of you! Wouldn
Warren had returned to his mansion by then, and he took out his cell phone to post the photo he took with Severin in the chat group consisting of the other three war gods. The chat, which had been silent for nearly a fortnight, became lively all of a sudden.[Holy moly, Warren! You went to meet our master? What happened? Didn't he tell us not to disturb him?] The sole woman among the three, whose name was Beryl Vermeulen, could not help but say, [Damn you! How could you go there alone without calling me!][It is Master in that photo! Goodness gracious, Warren! Couldn’t you have had the courtesy to tell us so we could come along?] Horace's displeasure was quite evident from his messages. [You son-of-a-butch! Why did you meet him so secretively?]Warren then explained: [Haha! Because I'm smart! Thing is, a while ago, he suddenly called me and said that he wanted...] Warren began a lengthy explanation as to Severin's request for him to help save Keagan and Linette.[So that's how it i
[It'd be difficult. I'm afraid we won't have that chance!] Beryl said. [I wonder if we can sneak over there to see him without him knowing. Will that be feasible?]Calum said: [That's a bad idea. He'll get angry if he finds out, and besides, how are you supposed to drink with him if he doesn't know that you're there?][Guess all we can do is envy Warren!] Horace said again.Warren, however, said to them: [Hehe, the opportunity will come! He told me that he'll organize a wedding to make it up to his wife for his absence, and he told me that we're all invited! He mainly wants us to give his wife and her family a big surprise!][Really? That's awesome! We can finally have a drink with him!] Horace was visibly excited after reading the message from Warren.[Perfect! We'll have to raise a glass to him at his wedding!] Calum could not wait for the big day to come.[We won't be where we are today without his guidance. Once we go, I'm going to enjoy myself with them for a couple before I
Diane could not help but smile bitterly as she began explaining to him. "The thing is..."After hearing everything from Diane, Severin clenched his fists and had a murderous look in his eyes. "Novaks, you say? It was Quintus, wasn't it? I spared his life the other day, thinking he'll learn his lesson, but I guess I was wrong! He's got some guts threatening you like that!"Diane frowned and said, "Honey, I'm worried that the Novaks will cause trouble for the Shanahans now that Wendy and Lillie beat him up to a pulp."Severin grinned icily and said, "Hehe, they should know better than to do that. If they try to bully you again or trouble the Shanahans, I'll make sure the Novaks are wiped out in Riverson!"After Lillie looked at the situation at the villa, she could not help but ask, "Was there a fight here?"Kiera then said, "Yeah. A group of guys from Cherridom came to kill sir, but Abigail and I killed them all. Abigail got poisoned, though."Wendy and Lillie were shocked to hear
A sudden thought then occurred to Diane and she could not help but gasp and ask Severin, "Where's Selene? She followed Mom and Dad to go fishing, right? Are they back? Do you think the Slasher Gang might have also sent people over to cause trouble for them?"Severin was taken aback and immediately said, "There's nothing to worry about, honey. Bailey and Naomi are there to protect them, so I'm sure everyone will be fine!"Diane was still very worried. "What if they sent over some elite fighters who know how to use hidden weapons such as flying needles? Wouldn't it be difficult to dodge such attacks, especially if everyone is caught unprepared?"Severin immediately took out his cell phone. "Don't make yourself too worried. I'll give them a call to check!"He was just about to dial the number when Kiera saw a familiar Chevrolet on the road just outside, "They're back, sir! Look! It's their car!"There was only one Chevrolet in the entire Dragon Lake Vista, and they did not even need
Quintus smiled wryly and walked in to lie back down on the bed. "Who else could it be? It's that damn Diane!""Diane was strong enough to beat you up? Didn't you say that you've undergone combat training before? Even if you're not that good at that, you should at least be able to win against Diane, right?" Jada frowned as soon as she heard that.Quintus said, "It was her bodyguards who beat me up. She went completely overboard! I wanted to cooperate with the Shanahans on a project, but she told her bodyguards to beat me up!""Why would you be seeking them to collaborate on a project?" Jada had a cold expression as she put her hands on his chest and said angrily, "What's going on, Quintus? Diane is Severin's wife. Didn't you want to kill Severin because of the grudge you have against him? Why would you want to cooperate with the Shanahans on a project? Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to her because she looks good?"Quintus was taken aback. Jada was a rather astute woman, and she
"Of course! I have a very good relationship with my distant cousin since a young age. He told me that he has certain matters to handle right now, but he would come to visit us once he settles everything!" Quintus smiled and said again, "Then again, it'd be great if the Novaks can solve everything without his help. After all, I wouldn't want to owe him any favors."Jada felt elated as she never expected that the Novaks would have such a relationship with such a person. Her future would be even brighter if she could marry into their family in the future. After some thought, she said again, "You're right, it's best not to trouble them if we can help it. But he is your cousin anyway, so if you go to the Ballards and tell them that you're related to a junior general, I'm sure they wouldn't dare to help Severin!"Quintus smiled and said, "Yeah. I'll just mention it in passing and give them some hints. That way, my cousin wouldn't have to come forward. Besides, everything's already planned
Quintus then went to the Ballards with Jada to look for Zachariah."Miss Jada! What brings you to me today?" Zachariah asked the two of them after taking his seat. Beside him were Zenoah, Sheila, and a few others.Jada smiled and then said again, "Mister Zachariah, this is my fiance, Quintus Novak. He's the scion of the Novaks—a second-tier family in Riverson!""Hello, Mister Quintus!" Zachariah's eyes lit up when he heard that. After all, second-tier families from Riverson were incredibly influential, and they were much stronger than first-tier families in Brookbourn. Though they were still some ways from being on the same level as Brookbourn Mansion, the forces from Riverson should never be taken lightly.His initial guess as to why Jada brought Quintus over was that they were seeking to cooperate with the Ballards. After all, Valerian had dinner at their house only two days ago, and everyone was optimistic about the Brookbourn Mansion's prospects.He feared not the Shanahans' r
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
