Severin stood in the air with his eyes narrowed slightly as he observed Eliza's lethal moves.
"It seems that this ancient royal celestial has something to show in terms of strength," he mused to himself. The law of death that emanated from the Human Skin Flag had already reached its height of power—true immortals who were on Eliza's level would have succumbed to its touch.
Each of the three thousand paths could be trained to a high level of mastery and possess the potential to annihilate everything in its path. Severin harbored no illusions about Eliza's abilities, he swiftly took out the Oculus Blade and unleashed several audible sword beams. The resulting explosion split open the gray mist in a sound akin to that of thunder.
Eliza's pupils contracted as he beheld the celestial weapon in Severin's grasp. "Your possession of a most potent celestial weapon will only heighten my curiosity about your secrets," he remarked.
As an ancient true immortal, Eliza possessed keen insight that was honed over countless eras. He recognized the Oculus Blade as being an elite celestial weapon inscribed with 3,000 laws. Few celestials could possess such an item, even in ancient times.
Considering Severin's modest late-stage true immortal attainment, Eliza had some speculation about the origins of such a treasure—he surmised that Severin was either the reincarnation of a royal celestial, or the beneficiary of an extraordinary opportunity. Either way, his secrets could unlock unprecedented possibilities that might allow him to reach royal celestial once the realm convergence was complete.
With that in mind, he glanced at Severin with ever increasing intensity, as if he was looking at a most covetous item.
With a chilling smile, Severin retorted, "I, too, am intrigued by you, ancient Celestial Lord."
The next moment, a torrent of terrifying swordwill surged from Severin and reverberated through the laws of heaven and earth. Drawing upon the boundless power of his inner world, he channeled it into the Oculus Blade and was poised to strike Eliza.
