Judith stretched her neck to glance at the price, and her face sank instantly Unfortunately, she had been told not to make any remarks about it and so smiled awkwardly while saying to Diane, "Go ahead and order whatever you like, Diane. These few years have been very tough on you, so you don't have to hold back on Severin's first time treating you to a meal!"Maurice was already mentally prepared for the food prices there. After all, few people patronized that establishment because it was beyond the financial means of ordinary people. Rich business people seemed to be the only customers there.After seeing the price, however, he still could not help his frown as he picked up the tea on the table and poured himself a cup.Diane just looked up at the old couple and could feel their uneasiness, so she smiled faintly and said, "I don't feel like eating oily food, Severin. How about we go someplace else?"At that moment, a rich young man happened to pass by with his group of friends, an
"Ah!" In the blink of an eye, Norman squatted down on the floor after Severin grabbed his arm. Severin's grasp was like a pair of iron clamps, grasping his wrist firmly and preventing him from moving even an inch.Severin was already doing his best to bear with the entire situation, but the man did not give it up and continued to overstep his bounds, going so far as to even slap his woman! There was no he could restrain himself from getting angry when things had gotten that far. A man in Severin's shoes would never another person bully the woman who had suffered five years for his sake.Severin exerted a bit of force and broke the man's arm with a crisp snap."AGH!" The veins on Norman's forehead bulged out due to the excruciating pain, and all it took was a little nudge to send him collapsing onto the ground."Ah, it hurts!" Beads of cold sweat dripped down Norman's forehead. He never imagined that Severin would be so strong as to break off his arm with just a simple grip."Norma
"I'm sorry that my son retaliated a little too harshly earlier, but it was your kind sir here who started it first. How about we sit down and talk it over? We'll pay for the medical expenses..." Judith immediately began begging for mercy when she saw that."Hehe, no can do, old lady. I'm priceless. Can you people even afford my medical expenses? If you can cough up one and a half million, then by all means do it!" Norman laughed condescendingly when he saw Judith's demeanor.Judith was completely dumbfounded when she heard that sum. It was simply too huge!The four bodyguards had approached them and were about to attack, but Severin knocked them all down in quick succession before they could do anything. All four of them winced in pain on the ground."How is this possible? Aren't you all mercenaries? How useless can you f*cking mercenaries be?" Norman was aghast to see what had happened."Sir, he's…he's too skilled! We're no match for him!" the bald man cried out while cowering in
"Go ahead and eat anything you want! But don't forget to let me know which ones you like best. I'll buy all your favorite food for you next time!" Severin looked at Selene's cute antics and felt his heart melt slightly."Okay! Thanks, Dad!" Selene nodded maturely and spoke very politely.Judith and Maurice exchanged a meaningful glance at each other and smiled heartily."All right, let's try this red wine! You don't get this sort of good stuff in prison!" Severin asked the waitress to uncork the wine and poured some for Diane and Judith."Tuck in, everyone! Make sure to eat your fill!" Diane smiled and then took the initiative to serve some of the food to Judith and Maurice."You should eat more too!" Judith was grinning from ear to ear too and she served some food to Diane in return. Slowly but surely, she grew fonder and fonder of Diane even though the latter showed up as daughter-in-law all of a sudden.After all, it was not easy for a young lady who was born into a wealthy fa
Norman urged his mother anxiously.Judith and Maurice were scared out of their wits when they saw all those bodyguards. It was the first time they saw such a formidable and intimidating lineup before. The next second, however, the woman gave Norman a tight slap."Sir, may I ask for your name?" The rich woman smiled awkwardly and asked in a groveling manner, much to Norman's surprise."Severin Feuillet!" Severin flashed them a faint smile."Apologize to this gentleman right here, Norman!" The rich woman immediately turned around and demanded her son say sorry."But Mom…are you sure?" Norman could not believe what was happening before his very eyes. Rather than helping to avenge him, his mother demanded that he apologize to the poor man!"Yes. Hurry up!" the rich woman rebuked sternly."Okay, I'm sorry! It was my fault. I hope you won't take that incident to heart, Mister Severin!" Although Norman resented being made to apologize, he knew that he probably offended someone he could
"Him again? Ugh, this is annoying!" Lucy felt even more disgusted when she saw Severin savoring some red wine with a big smile on his face."I can't take this. I'm going to get revenge!" Easton thought of a plan and clenched his fists while saying viciously, "Our family's strongest bodyguards weren't around at the hotel today. I think I'm going to make a call and get all of them to come here. Let's see if this b*stard can still go up against my strongest men!"At that moment, however, Jada smiled coldly beside him. "How can you be so dumb? Do you have to solve every problem with your fists? I hope you didn't forget who's the de facto owner of this restaurant."Easton's mind went blank for a moment but he was soon overwhelmed with joy. "Do you already have a plan in mind?"A smirk appeared across Jada's face. "If he's bold enough to eat at my restaurant, I'll make sure he won't be able to afford this meal! Let's shame him and his family!"Lucy, however, scoffed at that plan. "Hehe,
"That's actually a very good plan!" Easton looked at his severed, gauze-wrapped finger and felt an anger brewing within him. It would finally give him an outlet with which to vent his anger if the plan came to fruition.More importantly, he could not help but drool a little when he thought of Diane's beautiful face and near-perfect sexy figure."No!" Lucy vetoed the plan and was unhappy that it had even been suggested. She said to Jada, "Won't I be cucked too? Don't you think this is going a little overboard? You're asking me to watch my husband get it on with another woman while I'm forced to take some pictures secretly! Would you accept it if you were in my shoes?"Easton became gloomy and said, "Lucy, you need to think of the bigger picture. Didn't you see how arrogant that b*stard was today? Think about the money that your family had to cough up for him, and look at my finger here! Don't you want revenge?"Lucy gritted her teeth as she thought of everything that happened that d
"Don't you dare cross the line, Easton. I think Fat Pat's right. Seeing you talking about another woman right in front of me makes me wonder if you did anything else behind my back." Lucy had been incited by what Patrick said and immediately glared angrily at Easton.After all, she was already heartbroken when her wedding was ruined, and seeing Easton having such thoughts made her feel insulted and humiliated.Easton could see that Lucy was really angry and explained in a hurry, "Don't listen to him, Lucy. My only goal is to take revenge and get back at him. I swear that's all I'm focused on. I'm supposed to be a respected rich young man, and Severin broke off my finger is broken for no good reason. Don’t you want to see me get revenge on him? "Jada could not stand them any longer and rolled her eyes at Easton. "Enough. We still haven't started the plan yet and the two of you are already arguing! We need to hurry up and set things in motion, otherwise Severin family might be done w
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
