"Yeah, Dad. They were bullies!" Arnie cried out. "You need to get justice for us!""Do you know the name of the person who slapped you?" Ambrose asked.Arnie's mind went blank, but after a moment, he hesitated before saying, "I don't know what his name is, but I know that he's from a different city. He said that he came to Skystream City for business or something like that.""If he's here to do business, then why would he go around offending other people then? How did you run into him?" Ambrose frowned instantly and spoke in a much calmer tone.He knew what kind of person his son was, and he surmised that his son was the one who started things first. After all, it was common sense that a newcomer would avoid causing any trouble if they came to the city for business matters.Arnie then said, "Well, it all started when I saw them looking for a hotel to stay. I offered to let them stay in some of our empty rooms because I saw how difficult it was for them in a new city, and I just wa
"Didn't you tell them that you're the Pearsons' scion? How did they react when they found out?" Ambrose had a feeling that things were not as simple as Arnie made them out to be, and he could not help but question Arnie again.Arnie said, "I did, of course! He said he'll let me off the hook this time, but he'll kill me if he ever sees me again.""Sir, there must be more to that person than meets the eye if he could threaten your son even after being told that about their family background!" The grand-elder immediately said to Ambrose. "Offending a level seven warrior king makes for a very troublesome situation. We have no idea if he has any good friends or relatives that might have the attainment of a level eight warrior king!"Arnie lashed out angrily all of a sudden, "What are you trying to insinuate, Grand-Elder? Am I supposed to just suck it up after being bullied? A slap to my face is a slap to the Pearsons. Besides, he only said that because he doesn't know about the level eig
Arnie could not help but sigh and say, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Neither my dad nor the bodyguards are going to come here. We'll just have to suck it up this time.""No way!" Moby exclaimed in disbelief. "Doesn't your father dote on you all the time? Why would they just let it slide when you were slapped and two of your family's warrior kings were killed?"Arnie smiled bitterly and said, "Well, my dad said the province governor's sixtieth birthday will be celebrated in another two days, and many powerful people will come to our city. He's worried that we might provoke a big shot like a war chief, a province governor, or the son of those people. He told me to just tough it out, and he even held a meeting to tell all our family's youths not to go out and cause any trouble within the coming week. We were told to keep as low a profile as we possibly could!"Moby understood how serious the matter was and nodded immediately. "Okay then. I guess there's nothing we can do about it t
Severin smiled and said to Felicia, "I'm aware that ordinary people will explode and die after eating alchemical pills because they aren't able to bear the energy contained within them. However, this pill is slightly different. The energy contained within it is very mild, and there isn't a lot of energy within the pill either. It's specifically used for beauty enhancement, and it's called a beautifying pill. Its purpose isn't to improve one's attainment, so it lacks the strong energy that is typical of those pills. For those reasons, it is perfectly safe for you to consume.""I see. You got me worried there for a second! I thought you wanted to murder me because I objected to your relationship with Diane." Severin's explanation enlightened Felicia, and she could not help but pat her chest while heaving a sigh of relief."You're overthinking. Why would I do something like that? The only reason you treated me like that back then was because you were worried for Diane, right?" Severin s
Within a short while of arriving at Skystream City, Lucy came to know about the high-end places that the rich tend to frequent. In her spare time, she hung out in those places in nothing but a sexy skirt. Since her figure was smoking hot and she was a very seductive woman, a few rich young men took the initiative to hit on her and ask for her phone number. Some even invited her out for dinner on occasion.However, Lucy knew that those men had plenty of women to choose from, so she sometimes gave them the cold shoulder on purpose and refuse their advances. That way, those rich men would feel that she was different from other women, and their desire to pursue her began even stronger.The one incident that led Lucy's friends to envy her was when a young man from Skystream City's first-tier families fell in love with her. He sent her flowers just a few days ago, invited her to dinner, and even gave her a luxury car worth several hundred thousand dollars as a gift."Is he that scumbag, S
The rich young man was none other than Moby, the overweight friend of Arnie and Dave.Lucy was a little disappointed when she saw that he was a fat man from a third-tier family. Although he came from a rich third-tier family, he was far from handsome and was thus ranked in last place compared to the many other rich young men who were trying to win her heart. She would only consider being with him if the other guys were no longer interested in her.However, since Moby was the scion of a third-tier family, she could only smile at him and say, "It's you, Moby. What a coincidence! Cheryl and I came here to shop, and we didn't expect to meet you here ""I guess you could say this is fate then!" Moby smiled warmly and added, "Are you shopping? What are you going to buy? I'll tag along. Let me know if there's anything you want and I'll buy them for you."Lucy wanted to reject his offer, but she was afraid that he might take her rejection the wrong way and think that she was being rude to
Moby had a proud look. "Don't worry. I'll let my family's elders know right away. We might just be a third-tier family, but we do have a few level six warrior kings, so dealing with that guy shouldn't be much of a problem.""Okay. We'll wait for you right here then!" Lucy said with a smile so pure that it felt like a breath of fresh air.Lucy was undoubtedly a good-looking and experienced woman. Even a simple smile was enough to captivate Moby's heart. Though Moby had seen countless beautiful women in the past, he somehow felt the urge to marry Lucy instead of just having fun with her.Moby stepped to one side and made a phone call, and an old man arrived as expected."Is there anything I can do for you, sir?" The old man immediately asked Moby.Moby smiled and said, "I want you to cripple someone, but his attainment isn't very low. I believe he's a level four or level five warrior king, and you mustn't underestimate him."The old man nodded in response. Moby then asked Lucy, "Is
Unfortunately, the elder had already approached Severin from behind and glared at him. "Get your a*s over here!"Severin frowned, stood up immediately, and turned to look at the elder."It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" Moby finally rushed over at that moment and immediately explained, "It's a misunderstanding! This elder of mine mistook you for someone else!""Sir, but isn't he..." The elder was taken aback. 'What's going on? Isn't this the person that Lucy is talking about? We couldn't have been mistaken.'"Are you sure you got the wrong person?" Severin smiled coldly and said to Moby."I swear! It's the truth! We mistook you for someone else." Moby raised his hand in a pledge and immediately pulled his elder out of the restaurant."What happened in there, sir? Did we really mistake him for the guy that Lucy mentioned?" The elder was still a little shocked after walking to the entrance.Moby then said, "There was no mistake. I've met that person before, an
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
