Then the man said, "As luck would have it, there's some good news. I heard that Horus had his eye on 'The One And Only', a two-piece jewelry set from And Only Jewelry Corporation. It's the same one that they've been advertising. And whaddya know, someone snatched it away from Horus!"Rachel smiled wryly after hearing that and said, "Do you mean to say that someone else bought it before he could? He probably went to Brookbourn to try and take it back. Knowing his character, he won't be able to accept it if other people take away something that he likes."However, the man sat down at the side and said with a smile, "That's exactly what happened, but the buyer from Brookbourn doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. I heard that all of Horus's men were beaten up yesterday, and the Neelys sent five warrior kings to Brookbourn that very night!"Upon hearing that, there was a hint of surprise in Rachel's eyes as she remarked, "The buyer from Brookbourn is one brave soul! They didn't even sh
Glenn could only smile bitterly at his sister's yearning look. "I'm sorry, sis, but I think that's just wishful thinking. Horus is the county mansion's scion, so no matter how brave that Brookbourn fellow is, they couldn't be bold enough to kill the guy."Rachel, however, pointed out, "But now that they cut off one of Horus's fingers, would the Neelys just take it like that without putting up a fight?"Glenn thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if the Neelys will admit defeat or not, but I think you can use this to your advantage and see if you can turn the tables on this forced marriage!""And how am I supposed to do that?" Rachel immediately looked eagerly at Glenn."There are two options: the first is to sow discord. Tell Horus that you have your heart set on that jewelry set, and that you are fine with marrying him on the condition that you can wear both the necklace and that ring on your wedding day! Horus is the kind of guy who would continue to fight for it with the
"Let this slide, you say?" Horus had never liked Yoel, so he glared at Yoel following the latter's comment and lashed out by saying, "Well, aren't you're a useless w*nker! My finger was cut off by him, and this is one of the most humiliating things the Neelys have ever suffered. Did you seriously just tell Dad to let this slide? Have you no idea how much shame this will bring to our family if people find out?"Yoel smiled wryly before explaining, "Don't you think it's strange? If the And Only Jewelry Corporation wasn't so scared of Severin, they wouldn't have sent the necklace to him when they already agreed to sell it to us! This just goes to show that Severin is much more powerful than us!""More powerful than us? Didn't I already tell you that the one with the highest attainment level among the bodyguards was only a level four warrior king?" Mason frowned."But, Dad," Yoel tried to reason. "Do Horus and the others know what level Severin's attainment is? What if he's stronger tha
"What did your father say?" One of the men who had almost recovered from his injuries frowned and looked at Horus.Horus gritted his teeth and said, "Dad said they had a meeting and decided to drop the matter. I'm so angry right now! The reason they gave is that they're unsure about Severin's attainment. They're mostly worried that Severin might be some kind of low-profile powerhouse! I'm f*cking pissed at all this!"Another bodyguard said, "A low-profile powerhouse? I don't think he's that strong. If he was, he'd be an idiot to stay in a place like Brookbourn where the spiritual energy is so thin. Anyone with a higher level of attainment will choose to stay in a city with stronger spiritual energy, where even the resources for practicing are much more abundant!"Then, Horus complained, "Yeah! What the hell are those old guys thinking? I'm beginning to feel that their balls are getting smaller and smaller!""Do you think it could be your brother that gave them that idea?" asked one
Gracie smiled awkwardly and after giving it some thought, she still decided to call him 'handsome'.Diane frowned slightly when she heard that and wondered to herself, 'Is she going to be another one of my "love rivals"?' After all, Sheila tended to call Severin 'handsome' too, so she could not help but be reminded of that when Gracie addressed him as such."Who's this, honey?" Diane asked Severin with a frown.He then leaned over to Diane's ear and said softly, "She's the hall master of Equus Hall, so you can say that she's one of my subordinates!"Diane nodded when she heard that and was rather surprised that a woman—and a very beautiful one at that—could be the leader of a hall.After saying that, Severin put on an act and said, "This is the hall master of Equus Hall. They're from Brookton, and I became friends with them after running into them there!"Gracie smiled. "That's right! Mister Severin did us a big favor that time!""Diane, why don't you bring everyone in and make
"But Supreme Leader, I'm afraid we can't provoke South County Mansion. Our people have already asked around and found out that they have level five and level six warrior kings in their ranks!" Gracie thought about it for a moment and could not help but remind Severin.Although she knew that Severin was powerful enough to be a warrior king, she did not know his exact level. Meanwhile, South County Mansion was a big force in the entire south county, and she was worried that Severin would be no match for them.To her surprise, Severin made a rather nonchalant remark. "Don't worry, level six warrior kings are nothing in my eyes!" However, he soon had a wry smile as he said, "My only worry is whether or not I can get all twelve hall masters to break through to at least level nine warrior king within a year. This isn't an easy task to accomplish!"Gracie gasped when she heard him say that and immediately exclaimed, "H-how will even be possible? I'm only a level nine profound master, so if
Severin nodded. "Sure thing. Let's go together tomorrow!"That evening, Severin and Diane treated Gracie and the others to a feast.Later at night, Severin was lying on the bed with Diane when he said to her, "I'm going to South Link City tomorrow.""What for? Is your purpose there related to South County Mansion?" Diane had a startled expression because she could not believe that Severin still had some things to take care of when their wedding was days away.Severin smiled wryly. "You hit the nail on the head. It is related to South County Mansion. The woman Horus wants to marry is the head of Serpens Hall. It would've been fine if she was willing to marry him, but she's being forced into the marriage. I can't just sit here and let that happen!""I can't imagine which sane woman would want to marry that fat man, other than the usual gold-diggers of course," Diane said with a bitter smile. "You need to be very careful, okay? Don't worry. I'll be waiting for you to come back!"Sev
"Brother? I'm not your brother. We have the same father but our mothers are totally different people. Do you think I don't know what's in your mind? You're expecting to see me fail and you're just pretending to be nice to me!"Horus sneered and what he said broke Yoel's heart. As he finished talking, he swung his hand and left."Sigh." Yoel sighed disappointingly as he watched Horus walk away. After a while, Horus arrived at Rachel's place with his bodyguards."Honey, I'm here to visit you again!" Horus' eyes lit up and took a gulp when he saw a beautiful woman sitting on the couch dressed in a sexy dress.Rachel had a plump figure but that does not stop her from being an attractive and sexy woman. It took just one look and men would be all over her. The moment Rachel saw Horus, her face looked terrible.As she saw her finger, she pretended to ask. Though, she already knew what happened. "Mister Horus, what happened to your hand?"Immediately, Horus put away the smile on his face
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
