In the heart of the Primordial Sacred Land within Midland, the Ancestora emerged from the void with an intimidating and expressionless visage. Over the past two days, he had embarked from Midland towards the eternal icefield with the intention of attacking Severin and consuming him.
Upon reaching, however, he discovered that Severin had already left, and all that could be felt then was the lingering aura of the thunderbolt tribulation from Severin's recent ascent to true immortality. With Severin having attained true immortality, his celestial affinities shielded his whereabouts from the heaven and the river of time. Not even all the skills in the world could help the Ancestora locate him then!
Fuming in frustration, the Ancestora cursed, "Curse him! He made a breakthrough to true immortality, vanishes into the void, and cloaks himself with the secrets of heaven! Could he have mastered the space path that ranks among the top ten?"
Typically, the initial days following ascension were usually shrouded in moments of vulnerability. Despite having just overcome the heavenly tribulation, Severin's strength would be significantly depleted and he would not be able to travel too far a distance
Unfortunately, the Ancestora found no trace of Severin despite scouring through the entire icefield—crestfallen, he returned to the Primordial Sacred Land by morning.
The Ancestora's anger intensified as he dwelled on it. The path that he chose to be his was the path of destruction, considered to be one of the top 20 paths. The formidable combat prowess it conferred on him had spared him from death in previous encounters with the Green Emperor and subsequent true immortals that had received enlightenment in the Bleurealm.
However, even he experienced weakness in the days following his immortal ascension, unlike Severin who managed to conceal his presence even from the secrets of heaven.
The Ancestora, taking on Baldwin's form, emerged from the black mist with a blank expression. "Mobilize all forces under your command. Cease the current assault and redirect efforts to Greatflare and Northsea. Our main focus right now is to attack the Grandiuno Sacred Land!"
Though he was unaware of Severin's precise whereabouts after Severin had ascended to immortality, he knew the Grandiuno Sacred Land was a place close to Severin's heart. Convinced that targeting the sacred land would draw Severin out, his cold eyes burned with the embers of power as he thought to him, 'All I have to do is devour him. A single true immortal would be enough to propel me to the late stage of true immortality, which could set the stage for me to become Lord of the Realm before finally ascending to that of a royal celestial!'
His confidence stemmed not only from his own abilities but also the trump cards that he kept close to his chest. A glint of icy determination flickered in his eyes before he vanished in an instant.
