Gracie, however, kicked them one after another and sent them flying some distance back. They then fell heavily onto the ground and died on the spot.Several patrolling individuals saw the situation and immediately blew the alarm whistle. Within seconds, the Skydrake Gang's people immediately rushed out, with Equus Hall's members charging in immediately and standing behind Severin."What's going on, Hall Master? Is this some kind of covert midnight operation? I don't think we're capable of dealing with our opponents though…" One of the protectors was incredibly confused after bringing people over, especially since he was busy sleeping in the middle of the night when he suddenly received a call to bring some men over to destroy the Skydrake Gang. During the journey to the gang's headquarters, his heart was beating rapidly and he wondered if he had received that order in a dream.There were not a lot of people living in the headquarters of the Skydrake Gang, but they numbered more than
"Launching spiritual energy from one's person is something that only a warrior king can achieve!" The grand-elder was horrified when he saw what Severin did. After all, regardless of how powerful a profound master was, the most they could do was manifest spiritual energy on their fists when in battle. Only warrior kings can attack using the aura of one's body.The gap between the attainment of a warrior king and a profound master was huge, and not even ten level nine profound masters could be a match for a level one warrior king. Such was the disparity between both ranks. For that reason, Gracie felt calm and reassured after knowing that Severin was a warrior king, because that would mean an easy surefire victory.Severin smiled slightly, flicked his fingers again, and shot out a ray of light toward the grand-elder, whose face turned pale with fright upon seeing that and immediately moved to dodge it. Though he managed to evade it, two of the Skydrake Gang's elders behind him were ki
"Mess?" Gracie nearly fainted after hearing that and asked Severin, "What do you mean 'mess'? Equus Hall will be the most powerful gang in Brookton from tonight onward. Do you need money, Supreme Leader? We can give you money every year! Just tell us what you need and we'll be able to provide it to you! Equus Hall is yours, after all!"Severin smiled wryly and said, "I don't need money. In my eyes, money is just a number and an external object. The previous supreme leader gave me more than enough money to spend. I could easily buy the entire city of Brookton if I wanted!"Gracie gasped when she heard that because that was a very huge sum of money—cold hard cash instead of the value of many assets. The money that Severin had was essentially capital and cash flow."Why did you call this a mess, though? My dad said that there would be twelve halls named according to the oriental zodiac. Collectively, we're a very powerful force. Aren't you the least bit interested in us?" Gracie looked
Gracie stole a glance at Severin and could not help but say, "Well, since everything's almost done here, we can leave the rest to the elders. Equus Hall will be the biggest organization here in Brookton tomorrow, and even our city's mansion wouldn't dare to offend us!" After a pause, she added, "Are you still up for a couple of drinks? I still have some good wine back at my place, so why don't we enjoy ourselves a little once we head back?"Severin nodded after considering her proposal. "Sure. I would love to chat and understand a bit more about Equus Hall!"The two of them then drove back with Gracie leading Severin to a villa area."Hall Master!" More than a dozen of Equus Hall's people had been tasked to patrol the area at night, and they greeted Gracie respectfully once she parked her car and walked over with Severin.Gracie nodded. "Thanks for your hard work."After finishing her sentence, she smiled at Severin and said, "Come on in, handsome. I heard Winnie calling you hands
"Sure." Severin nodded and went upstairs to take a shower.Once Severin went upstairs, Gracie could not help but touch her cheek and mumble to herself, "Goodness gracious! Why am I blushing? I can't believe I'm feeling shy in front of the supreme leader! I need to snap out of it! He might be a very amazing guy, but he's supposed to be my superior! Quit having those thoughts! He has a wife and children too, so there's no reason for him to like me!"The next second, however, another voice sounded in her mind, 'What are you scared of, Gracie? Does it matter if he has a wife? This is your first time meeting a man who can make your heart flutter. You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't seize the opportunity. Besides, you're a sexy and good-looking woman. No man can resist that!'Gracie could not help herself from letting her imagination run wild. Severin's show, in particular, enchanted her completely, and his concern for her as well as that sense of security he gave her
Severin looked at Gracie's shy demeanor and instantly knew that she had misunderstood. The fate he was talking about was not the fate between a man and a woman, but fate that he had come across one of the twelve halls. 'This is bad. Maybe I'm too handsome that this beautiful lady here is starting to take an interest in me. She might be trying to hint at something when she dressed so seductively after a quick bath!'The atmosphere here instantly became a little awkward, and for a moment, neither of them knew what to say to the other."Let me pour a glass for you, handsome!" Eventually, Gracie was the first to break the silence. She hastily poured some wine for Severin and deliberately asked, "By the way, how did you and your wife meet? I'm jealous that she got to marry a such a wonderful man!"Severin smiled wryly and said, "I met her in the most unimaginable way possible. It all started five years ago when I was in a relationship with a college classmate whom I loved very much. We d
Severin shook his head and said, "We both hate Cherridom, right? If Cain's dead, then won't Cherridom's people be sending themselves to their death? I was considering killing Cain before I set off on my journey so Lucy won't have someone rich to rely on! She'll be so pissed if that happens!""Then why don't you look for Lucy and kill her too?" Gracie blurted out without thinking. Severin, however, remained silent.Gracie frowned. A sudden realization occurred to her and she said lamentably, "I understand why now. You value the relationships you've had with people, be they romantic or platonic, and you must have loved her very deeply during the three years that you were dating her. If you didn't feel that way, you wouldn't've smashed that beer bottle over Easton's head for her sake. I can imagine how difficult it must be to kill someone you once loved so much!""That's largely the reason. However, I've been patient with her time and time again, but if she pushes me over the line, I t
"Whoa, whoa, take it easy there, tigress! I wouldn't want you getting flat-out drunk!" Severin could not help but remind her after seeing her drinking a considerable amount of alcohol.However, Gracie smiled charmingly and said to him, "Why are you so flustered? I trust that my supreme leader is a decent person who won't take advantage of someone else!""That's for sure!" Severin smiled bitterly, but he was a little speechless as he secretly thought to himself, 'Even if I am a decent person, that's still not a reason for you to dress so sexily!' Furthermore, her slightly forward-leaning posture revealed more of her cleavage, which left Severin speechless and prompted him to look elsewhere."We have another bottle here! Let's share it!" After Gracie opened the last bottle of red wine, she stood up, poured some for Severin, and said, "Are you worried that a tigress like me is going to gobble you up?"Despite the calmness she projected when she said that, deep down, she felt extremely
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
