"I'll do it!" Wendy knew the limits of Naomi's strength, and if Naomi could not hold her own against the opponent, then the outcome would probably be the same even if either Abigail or Lillie came forward."Oh? You're not going to surrender, then?" Eugene then smiled slightly as he flew up and said to Wendy, "I must say, Severin is quite amazing. I can't figure out how he managed to invite such strong people like you to become his bodyguard!""Enough with your nonsense! Come at me!" Wendy waved at the other party with a goading look on her face."Hmph! You think I'm afraid of you?"Eugene flew even higher, and the two of them began to fight! Several minutes into the fight, Eugene realized that something was amiss—Wendy's attainment level was the same as his, but she was better than him in terms of combat power. Although he was able to hold out for several minutes, he was still no match for Wendy and was struck so heavily that he fell back to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of bl
Severin glanced insipidly at him. "I take it you're the old b*stard?""Old b*stard?" Barrie gritted his teeth angrily after being called that. He immediately glared at Severin and lashed out, "Pretty brave of you to call me that! You must've grown sick of life?"Severin smiled and said, "Well, your son is a little b*stard, and rather than doing what a father should do by educating your son, you brought a whole host of people to my house just to terrorize my family. Calling you an 'old b*stard' is justified!""Why you little..." Barrie had never been humiliated so terribly before, and he wanted to step forward and punch Severin as soon as he clenched his fist.His men, who were all standing behind him, stopped him immediately. Even if they combined all their strength, they would probably not be able to withstand one of Severin's punches with their grandmaster-level attainment."We lost because we were unlucky today. I didn't expect the bodyguards you hired to be so powerful. We ack
To make things worse, Quintus brought his men there when Severin was not at home. If Wendy and the others had not been strong enough to fend them off, the result would have been much worse.Severin clenched his fist and sent his opponent flying with a punch. Eugene fell heavily on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood."What? You're no match for him either, Eugene?" Barrie thought that Eugene could stop Severin, but his face immediately turned pale with fright when he saw that Eugene had been sent flying several meters back."What sort of attainment level does he have? His punch is at least that of a level six or level seven warrior king!" Eugene's heart was filled with turmoil, and Severin's strength had exceeded his expectations.Severin could only smile coldly. He held back from using much of his strength earlier because Eugene would have died from his punch if he did. He then walked slowly toward Quintus with an ice-cold expression."Dad, save me!" Quintus yelled, his le
Barrie could only nod with a listless expression. "I understand that Jada is a good girl, Victor. She persuaded me and Quintus not to trouble Severin anymore, but my son and I didn't listen to her advice. We thought Eugene could help avenge us, but we didn't expect things to turn out this way!""Sigh." Victor sighed and then said to Barrie, "I should remind you again not to think about getting revenge on Severin in the future. It's unfortunate, but we can't afford to provoke him. I was surprised that you came here and went directly to him without telling me. I would've persuaded you against it if I knew that you wanted to cause trouble to them!""What do you mean by that?" Barrie frowned, sensing that there was more to Victor's statement from the latter's tone.Victor then explained, "You might not know this, but a group of elite fighters from Cherridom came over just a few days ago. They were all powerful people, but they all ended up dead after fighting with Severin's female bodyg
The viciousness and coldness that Severin had toward his enemies had long since disappeared when Selene showed up. It was replaced by a warm look of gentleness."You're finally back!" Diane went up to Severin and said with a smile, "It mustn't have been easy for you. Why don't you catch up on your sleep and have some rest?"Severin smiled and said, "Nah, I'm not sleepy! It makes me happy to see that everyone's safe and sound!"Diane was still a little worried as she said to Severin, "We might not need to fear the Novaks, but Eugene is a junior general. Do you think he'll come and cause trouble after being humiliated like this today?"Severin smiled. "Don't worry. There's nothing to be afraid of if your husband is around!"He then glanced at everyone else and said to the bodyguards, "You've worked very hard these past few days, so how about I will all of you to a big dinner later tonight? It's about time you get some well-deserved rest!""Yay! We get to eat good food tonight!" Wen
Severin then nodded with a smile. "It is, but we will have to wait one year. That is why you must break through to level nine grandmaster in the span of one year!""Okay. I'll do my best!" Diane nodded happily.However, Severin frowned again and said, "That's not all though. I was also entrusted with a lot of missions.""Missions? What sort of missions?" Diane looked puzzled.Severin recalled what he had been told and explained to Diane the things he had obtained and the much greater potential treasures that he would stand to get. Finally, he dropped the bombshell on her, "It's about time I tell you the truth too. I'm actually the supreme leader of Dracodeus Temple, and Draco Hall is also one of my subordinate halls!""No way!" Diane's heart was filled with tumult and she sat down speechlessly on the bed in shock for a long time. It was already shocking enough for her to find out that Severin received a book on alchemy as well as a flying sword, and Severin had also told her that
Diane pondered briefly over what Severin said and frowned for a moment before asking Severin, "Honey, can you explain to me a bit more about alchemy, spiritual herbs, and other basic knowledge about attainment? I've already made up my mind to take this path, and I wish to become stronger too!"Severin did not expect Diane to be so interested in attainment, so he began explaining everything carefully to Diane. When the explanation was almost all done, Severin said to her, "There's no hurry though. Since you've been consuming the reishi mushrooms according to instruction, you've become a grandmaster in no time!""How about I try punching you?" Diane smiled at Severin and suggested."Bring it on!" Severin stood in front of her. Diane had a wicked smile and punched Severin right away. After receiving her punch, Severin's eyes lit up as he said in satisfaction, "Not bad! You're already a level four grandmaster! The rate at which you are improving is quite fast, and I think it won't be
Severin's reaction elicited a smile from Diane as she chastised him, "You're such a meanie. Don't you think you're being too cruel? Are you just going to pretend that you can't see how nice she's treating you? I'm fine if you two end up together!"Severin blushed and could not help but say, "Not you too! I can't believe you've developed such a good relationship with her!""Hehe, I'm going downstairs to let her know that she can come to your room to meet you!" Diane ignored Severin's protests because she understood what it felt like to love someone dearly. The feeling was especially strong in the past few days when she missed Severin like crazy when he was not around. As a result, she could understand Sheila's feelings perfectly."I might as well go down and meet her then. God knows what she's going to do if you let her come to my room. Whose shoulder am I supposed to cry on if she gets all handsy on me?" Severin was startled by Diane's suggestion and jumped off the bed in a hurry.
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
