"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
"I see!" Lucy was a little surprised because she did not expect such tricks to exist. From the looks of it, the Stones probably did not have such an easy road toward becoming a third-tier family. Their success likely owed much to tricks like that. As an example, it was Jada who thought of the scheme to deal with Severin.Soon, everything was in place.…After the rich woman left, Severin and his family could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Thus, they went ahead and enjoyed all the food they ordered."May I have the bill please?" Severin waved to the waitress when they were almost done with the meal.At that moment, the waitress smiled, walked over, and handed the bill to Severin. He took one look at it and frowned. "There must have been a mistake in this order."The waitress could only smile. "I'm sorry, sir, but this is the correct total!" Her manager had already instructed her to give them that bill, so she could only do as she was told.Severin smiled in contempt and chuck
"Scammers? How dare you call us scammers just because you can't afford to pay for your meals?" The manager sneered. "It's not a scam when we've displayed the price very clearly in our menu.""Oh, really? Could you bring over the menu that we looked at earlier, then?" Severin asked with a cold smile."Right! That wasn't the price displayed on the menu we looked at earlier!" Judith immediately remarked."Go and get the menu," the manager said to the waiter. "These people just won't accept the truth until they've seen it for themselves!"The waiter brought over the menu in no time, and the prices were different from before! There was almost a tenfold increase in the prices of each dish and drink!"It's not the same menu we were given earlier. This one's brand new. The one we looked at was a little aged!" Diane's expression became uglier as she looked at the menu. It was as clear as day that the menu given to them by the manager had been made in haste.Even so, the manager merely sai
"N-n-no! This wasn't supposed to happen!"The manager wiped off a cold sweat in an instant. Jada had explained that Severin was pretty good at fighting, and if their restaurant's thugs were not up to the task, he could always call One-Eye to help them. After all, One-Eye was the strongest of them all, and their restaurant had always gotten along well with him. His subordinates were all very skilled fighters, and he was able to hold out his own too. In fact, he was so good that he could face several dozen ordinary thugs without ever being at a disadvantage during a battle.Although Jada had given the manager a heads-up on Severin's strength, he did not think that Severin would be able to knock down their thugs and felt that Jada was making a mountain out of a molehill. It was therefore a huge surprise to see that all their thugs had ended up falling to the ground in a heap. They all let out agonized cries and were unable to stand up, which seemed to indicate that they were seriously i
"Sure thing." Upon seeing that Severin was acting so arrogantly in front of him, One-Eye slammed his palm on a nearby table, which shattered right away and was destroyed in one swift move.Judith and Maurice had never seen someone so strong before, and the blood drained from their faces immediately.Diane knew that One-Eye was no ordinary individual, but she was nonetheless taken aback as well. She also knew that the owner of such a restaurant probably did not come from a simple background, so she immediately stepped forward and stopped Severin out of fear that Severin might offend yet another powerful person again."I'll go with you. I'm curious to know who this friend of mine is!" Diane agreed without hesitation.The manager could not be happier to hear that. "Smart choice, Miss Diane. Please come with me!""Honey! No! You can't!" Severin was worried and immediately tried persuading her, "I assure you I can deal with these people!"However, Diane turned around, handed Selene to
The faint fragrance from Diane's body left him a little intoxicated, and once Diane entered, Patrick gently locked the door behind him and said with a smile, "Come and have a seat, Miss Diane. Let's have a drink and a chat. It's that simple!"Diane looked at him and frowned warily as she remarked, "I don't remember having a friend like you."Patrick smiled in response. "Haha, you must've forgotten. I attended Easton's wedding today too, but you came a little too late to see Severin kick me!"Diane's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. 'Is he here to get revenge because Severin kicked him earlier today?'She smiled awkwardly and apologized. "Hehe, sorry about that. He's impulsive, and he has a thing for using physical force to solve problems. I hope you won't take offense!"Patrick went to the table, took his seat on one of the chairs, and patted the chair beside him. "Come here and have a seat. Let's talk about some stuff, shall we? Whatever happened this morning is in the p
Patrick looked at Diane. "All right, all right. I won't pressure you to drink anymore. We'll have that chat once you've finished this glass of wine, and it'll only take a few minutes. You will then be allowed to leave with your husband and daughter!"Diane was under the impression that Patrick was the establishment's owner, since he looked the part due to his fat figure and pot belly. She did not dare to reject his request, so after giving it some more thought, she gritted her teeth and drank her third glass of wine in one gulp. "There. Can we start talking now, Mister Patrick?"Patrick finally said, "Hehe, you do realize that you've eaten close to a hundred and sixty thousand dollars' worth of food, right? That's a lot of money. What I want from you can't be simpler. I'll just come right out with it if you don't mind. Now that you're here, I want you to do you. You can leave once I'm done!"He could not help but ogle Diane's thigh after saying that, and he even hinted as clearly as
Diane felt disturbed by his request, but the thought of Selene and Severin made her feel uneasy too. She bit her lips and said, "Severin promised to come up here if I'm not down in ten minutes. Time's almost up, so it's best if you let me go as soon as possible. If he has to come up here and fetch me, you can bet that he won't let you off that easily!"Patrick cackled as if he had heard a joke. "Haha, do you think he'll even get the chance to come up here? Why would those guys downstairs even allow him to pass? Are you stupid? Well, whatever it is, tonight's the night I'll have a good time with Severin's woman!" he declared, then pounced on her like a wolf."Get off me, you b*stard!" When Diane saw that he was hell-bent on forcing himself on her, her face turned pale with fright and she dashed to the side at once. Unfortunately for her, the copious amounts of wine she drank left her feeling a little dizzy at that moment. Since she was wearing high heels, it was no surprise that she s
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
