Before long, the two of them walked out with each other.At that moment, a few elders were about to come over and report on their work. As soon as they saw Gracie wearing a dress, the first elder's jaw nearly dropped and he could not help but ask, "M-m-m-ma'am…where are you going?" He was dumbfounded because she tended to wear tight leather pants or jeans that were much more conservative in terms of style. However, she came out that morning wearing a dress—a knee-length floral dress, no less! If they had not seen it for themselves, they would have thought that they were dreaming."What's with all your expressions? Do you have to be so exaggerated? I'm going out for breakfast with our supreme leader. He'll be leaving soon." Gracie smiled faintly and said to the elders, who were once again shocked because Gracie had a smile on her face. It was such a rare sight that they began to wonder if she was still the same fierce tigress from before.The second elder frowned instantly and thou
Severin got into the car, smiled at Gracie, and said to her. "You don't have to see me off. Before I leave, I should remind you once again that even though it's fine for you to call me Supreme Leader here, you must never address me like that when you go to Brookbourn. After all, no one knows me here in Brookton, but I don't want my parents or my wife to know my identity!""I'll keep that in mind! I'll just call you 'handsome' then. That'll do, right?" Gracie smiled.Severin had a slightly odd expression on his face when he heard her call him that because he was reminded of Sheila who frequently called him 'my handsome Severin' every time they met."As you wish!" Severin smiled wryly and drove off.Gracie could not help but let out a sigh as she watched Severin's car drive out of her sight.…Severin drove non-stop and finally reached Lupool when the sky was already dark. There was a huge mountain south of Lupool that made everyone stop to look, and although Lupool was a relativel
"Rory, are you certain that you are allowing him to try to save your father? What if he's from one of the rival gangs? Even if you kill him later, that won't help with anything. Your father's life is more important than his life."The man dressed in white expressed his concern.Rory looked at her father, Freddie. His face looked pale and painful. "What if he's telling us the truth? It's a risk that I need to take. Call 911 just in case anything happens."There was nothing more the man dressed in white could say to change Rory's mind. He walked away and called 911. On the other side, Severin quickly gave Freddie a massage and took out his needle to perform dry needling. Once that was done, he placed his hand on Rory's father's head.At first, Freddie suffered tremendous pain. When Severin started to treat him, he was obviously gradually healing and in less pain. By the time, Severin took his hand away, Freddie looked healthier than before. His eyesight returned to normal and he coul
After some thinking, Freddie decided and said that."Freddie. Isn't a-million-and-five-hundred-thousand dollars too much? Who knows if you really had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage? What if it was something else and you will eventually be fine by yourself without his help?" The man dressed in white decided to step in when he heard that.Immediately, Freddie gave the man dressed in white a cold glare. "Are you saying my life doesn't worth as much as a-million-and-five-hundred-thousand dollars? This is my body. I know it better than you!""That's right. Keep your opinion to yourself." Rory also glared at the man before smiling at Severin. "Thank you, Mister Severin. Can you please give me your bank account? I'll transfer the money to you now. Luckily you are here to save my father."Severin smiled faintly. "You don't have to. I'm going back to my hotel now. I'm leaving early in the morning. It just happened that I'm there to lend a helping hand. The ambulance is here now. If you are st
"Do you hear that? My guess is correct. He's going into the mountain to hunt for treasure too. Let him join us. The more the merrier, isn't it?" One of the twins giggled.However, the thin man thought otherwise. He sneered and gave Severin a contemptuous look. "Look at how thin he is. I don't think he's a powerful person. Are you sure he's going to help us instead of being our burden?"The twin's sister gave Severin a sympathetic look. "But it's going to be very dangerous if he enters the mountain by himself. Let him tag along with us. There are too many wild animals in the mountain. He's not going to survive if he goes on by himself."The old man gave it a thought and said, "Young man. Are you a profound master? If you are not, we can't have you tag along with us."Severin smiled awkwardly. "That's for sure.""Do you hear that? He's a profound master. That means he can come with us, right?" The eldest twin sister came running and smiling at Severin. "It's nice having a handsome
"Sure. Let's hit the road and talk on the way!" Saul nodded and continued talking, "Severin, is it? Do you know the name of the forest? You might have heard it before. It's called the Forbidden Forest.""Forbidden Forest?" Severin frowned. The name of the forest itself was enough to scare many people away.Though, he knew it was not going to be a problem for him to reach the other end of the forest. Yet, he was feeling curious about the forest and wanted to know more. As they walked and talked along the way, Severin finally got to know what had been stopping many people from stepping foot into the forest.It was less dangerous on the outskirt of the forest. While there were still many wild animals lingering around, those wild animals were huge in size and common. Overall, those wild animals were about the same level as a grandmaster. It was a different situation if you went a little bit deeper into the forest. One could easily bump into a half-monster. A half-monster was a creature
Morris thought of it and said, "What if he gets lucky? Maybe he'll survive. Haha. I remembered there was a guy who accidentally entered the deeper part of the forest. He found a second-grade spiritual herb there. What a lucky guy!""A second-grade spiritual herb!"Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that. Spiritual herb was a herb that had the ability to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and mood. They were hard to come by and were extremely rare.It was categorized into nine different grades with nine being the rarest among all. In this modern world, even a first-grade spiritual herb was hard to come by. People would be fighting all over each other just to get their hands on a second-grade spiritual herb.First-grade spiritual herb was suitable for people during their profound master level. Whereas, the second-grade spiritual herb would provide a terrific result when consumed by a warrior king. Needless to say, the superb result a profound
Daphne smiled. "Other than my sister, I only know those people today. So remember, don't tell anyone your true level. Of course, you're allowed to lie to them when they ask you. They won't know it if you're lying to them either."After hearing that, Severin's had a weird expression. Unlike the others, the old wacko had taught him a secret technique. With that secret technique, he could easily tell the other people's level. However, there was an exception. When the person's level was higher than Severin's and if the person deliberately hid his strength, Severin would not be able to tell the person's level in that situation. Despite that, there were not many people that were at a higher level than Severin. Nonetheless, the six people who invited him to join the team were quite strong."I got it now. Thank you for your information," Severin said with a smile.Daphne continued to say seriously, "Do you really have to go to that place? Honestly speaking, it feels bad to see you risk your
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
