More importantly, the long river of time—of which only half its course remained—erupted with a power so terrifying that it was both intimidating and soul-trembling.
Severin observed the swift transformation of his new territory under the influence of said river.
At that moment, his entire inner world seemed to undergo tens of millions of years of transformation. The land seemed to shift, while rivers altered their courses. The aura surrounding Severin grew steadily and remained so for several hours until that long-awaited 'click' was heard, signifying the complete obliteration of his realm barrier.
A strong and coercive aura befitting a level nine supreme paragon burst forth from Severin's body. Simultaneously, the ten trillion cell universes within him erupted with a blazing light and absorbed the spiritual energy of the surrounding world with wanton indulgence.
The power of laws surged around him, breaking through the confines of the Green Emperor's Pagoda space and shooting up into the sky. The entire cave world was illuminated, and the hues within it experienced a profound change.
A flurry of mirages materialized amidst the rolling sea of clouds. Purple mist spanning thousands of miles filled the cave, inducing the heavens and earth to resonate as well as invoking the descent of rules. The sea took on the same hue as the sky, while the sun and moon radiated anew. A royal celestial even manifested and parted the clouds to reveal a paragon spirit. Dark and light intertwined, forming a pattern depicting the balance in the universe.
One after another, various mirages emerged, alarming both the practitioners within the cave world and those outside in the Grandiuno Sacred Land. Countless disciples exchanged astonished murmurs.
"Hiss! Did Severin make another breakthrough?"
Adrian still vaguely recalled the time when he recruited Severin as his disciple simply because Severin had acquired a true immortal's essence and blood on the starry sky battlefield. His initial expectation was that Severin could reach level nine supreme paragon within a century, a feat worth rejoicing. Yet Severin's rapid growth in just two years left him utterly and thoroughly astounded.
Severin's aura of a level nine supreme paragon was no less formidable than Adrians, and Adrian firmly believed that his disciple might indeed usher in an era of enduring prosperity for the Grandiuno Sacred Land that would last at least several thousand years.
Elsewhere, Hepman—who was in seclusion within the cave world—felt his heart skip a beat when he sensed the aura of a level nine supreme paragon emanating from the Green Emperor's Pagoda. That alone had enabled him to discern Severin's superiority over the Menzies' ancestral powerhouse.
"This serves as further proof that our choice to align with the Grandiuno Sacred Land was a wise one!" Hepman exclaimed with elation. During his time in Eastplain, he had recognized the Grandiuno Sacred Land's superiority as well as Severin's exceptional talent. Should he succeed in securing Severin's friendship, then the Menzies would have secure support that would allow them to establish themselves. Yet he was caught by surprise when Severin made such a rapid ascent to the cusp of immortality within such a short period.
