Sympathy stirred among the Celestial Realm's practitioners as they watched Severin pant heavily and helplessly while still oozing blood from the wounds inflicted by the Gyddur's clone.However, they also knew that Gyddur's clone could only enter the border sea after a tacit approval from Lawrence and the other royal celestials. It could not have been done without their consent. They felt that Severin's fate was already sealed when the Gyddur sent a clone in. After all, no one could withstand the might of a royal celestial, and Severin was no exception despite being a quasi-royal celestial.Though Gyddur's past self merely matched the power of a quasi-royal celestial, he could still wield the formidable techniques of a full-fledged royal celestial, notably the Almizali Art—one of the 36 top divine techniques that was capable of upending worlds and eradicating all in its wake. Even though Severin was undefeatable by most quasi-royal celestials, he found himself outmatched when faced wi

Nearby the realm's membrane, Lawrence watched Gyddur's retreat with a grin stretching almost ear to ear. Severin's unexpected feat of eliminating the royal celestial's clone under such dire circumstances took Lawrence and others by surprise.Creatia, radiant with celestial light as she stood atop a swirl of laws from the great path, said in awe, "It looks to me that a prodigy similar to that of the Green Emperor has emerged in the Celestial Realm."Meanwhile, the awe-inspiring yet square-faced Libra breathed steadily as wisps of dark and light energy alternated between his nostrils. "Incredible," he mused, stroking his beard. "I have yet to see anyone quite like him, turning the tables and eliminating the royal celestial's clone despite only being a quasi-royal celestial."Severin's achievement marked a historic first in the recorded annals of the Celestial Realm, leaving Libra speculating that there might not be anyone capable of surpassing such a record.The distinction between r

After gleaning insights from Callide about making a breakthrough to royal heaven, Severin expressed his utmost appreciation to her. "Thank you, for your guidance!"Callide smiled, and her beautiful eyes narrowed like crescent moons. "It's just a little nudge. I firmly believe that you will ascend to become a royal celestial," she said, before vanishing instantaneously.Finally, Severin looked at the Pure Heart Sigil in his hand and the vial of Eighturn Golden Pills. He exhaled heavily and said, "Time to gain insight and become a royal celestial!"At that moment, Severin made the resolute decision to ascend as the royal celestial—with a mere thought, the law of space cloaked his body as he vanished into the border sea.He emerged out of the sea and swiftly returned to where the Longevity Alliance was stationed. After giving his wives an update on the situation, he rose to his feet and went straight to the Heaven Palace in the Nine Heavens. It was located several thousands of miles a

Severin's resounding yell pierced through the mist of time, causing the laws of the great paths to tremble. His primal spirit then faced an onslaught form the divine chains of law, which hurtled toward the river of time with an overwhelming force.They cleaved through the mist shrouding the river and dragged forth a nebulous figure that exuded a majestic aura and was enveloped in a canopy of purple mist. A divine bridge of paths appeared beneath its feet, and its mere presence evoked a sense of standing as a supreme being.Even the paths themselves found it somewhat difficult to withstand its shadow.The river began to roar incessantly as Severin's future self breached through the mists of time and materialized before him.The past, present, and future seemed to be reverberating in tumult, and the calm surface of the golden river began to surge into several countless wavesEveryone across the Celestial Realm could feel the ripple of change coursing through the river of time. Deep

Severin's royal celestial aura reverberated across the realm and shook the Nine Heavens Ten Lands. In every corner from the five main regions to the distant Tri Celestial Islands, all living creatures could sense the imminent arrival of divine power.Those lower than that of true immortals merely felt as though there was a slight pressure over their shoulders, but those more well-versed in the arcane path of the laws, felt a pressure so strong that it felt as though a formidable adversary was pinning them to the ground.Even the ancient celestial lords and royal celestials who were adherents of the ancient school of attainment resisted for but a fleeting moment before succumbing to the overwhelming force and falling flat on the ground. Only those at the quasi-royal celestial level fared slightly better—they did not fall to the ground, but their bodies seemed to hunch down under the still celestial force.With the successful breakthrough of a royal celestial, the heavens and earth th
