Everyone who entered the Starry Sky Battlespace—Tobias included—understood just how important it was to secure the opportunity that would make them an immortal.
The enigmatic practitioner from centuries past had seized such a chance and became a celestial immortal within a few decades. With Severin obtaining the True Immortal's essence, Tobias could envision Severin following a similar path, perhaps ascending within a century. As Tobias recalled his past altercations with Severin, he felt as though an invisible hand stopped his beating heart and caused the color from his face to drain.
Elsewhere, Callie and Spencer wore expressions of disbelief with their mouths agape as they gazed at Severin. They never imagined that Severin would be granted the opportunity to become an immortal. After a moment of shock, they quickly composed themselves and noticed Gresham and the other powerhouses hastening toward Severin's location.
Callie's beautiful eyes gleamed with astonishment as she regained her composure, while Spencer's breathing quickened as his face turned red at the revelation of Severin's newfound favor.
Being the True Immortal's essence, it was filled with the celestial laws of the scriptures of philosophy. Integrating its wisdom into oneself would pave the way for a person to ascend within a century. He could not believe that Severin had obtained such a precious treasure. As he snapped out of his astonishment, Spencer exchanged a glance with Callie before leaping into the air and leaving at lightning speed.
Meanwhile, inside the palace, Severin channeled the scripture and unleashed the formidable power within him. Divine energy began to swell and reverberate through his energy center, converging toward the brightly glowing drop of essence. Though the essence had entered his body, it remained unsubdued. Gresham and others were still lurking outside to observe the situation, and Severin knew he had no time to waste. He needed to swiftly assimilate the essence to ensure his safety before the Starry Sky Battlespace concludes.
