Chapter 2165

Karl’s slight haughtiness drew a little snicker from Severin.

“Guess I’ll have to go all out then!”

Severin refocused and closed his eyes to meditate. Perhaps an ancient powerhouse like Karl viewed him as nothing more than just a slightly bigger fish, not that it should come as any surprise that Karl would think that way.

After all, due to a past life as a royal paragon, he could change Southsky’s terrain simply by stamping his feet!

That he would look down on paragons was normal, as he might be under the impression that first place in the tournament was already a given for him.

Severin thought to himself, ‘So what if you’re a reincarnation of a royal paragon? The way of attainment goes against the will of nature, and it’s a never-ending competition against each other!’

He had killed countless prodigies-some even stronger than him- and secured victory despite being at a disadvantage in his attainment.

At that moment, Diane comforted him, “Don’t take that to heart., Severin. The tournament is about to begin, and it’s important for you to keep a level head!”

“Of course. I’ll be fine, honey.” Severin nodded. A couple of remarks was hardly enough to piss him off. Severin closed his eyes to rest and waited silently.

As time went by, more and more disciples arrived to the arena, and every corner was filled with people. All of a sudden, thousands of rays of light appeared in the sky, and purple mist filled the surroundings. This stark change in phenomenon elicited gasps of awe across the venue. Severin opened his eyes slowly, and he soon saw the purple light that appeared above the arena. All of a sudden, a ten-feet tall rift in the void appeared, and out came a white- robed Oskar with a horsetail whisk in hand.

Everyone in the arena stood up and saluted him.

“Greetings, Sect Leader!”

“Greetings!”

Oskar waved his hand and conjured up an invisible force that settled the disciples down.

“That’s enough. You can dispense with needless etiquette.”

Following his command, Oskar swished the spiritual horsetail whisk, filling the entire Grandiuno Sect with a celestial glow.

“I hereby announce the start of the Grandiuno Sect Tournament!”

The toll of a loud bell then spread throughout the entire Grandiuno Sect, and immediately nearly a thousand huge arenas descended from the sky and remained suspended in mid-air.

Those arenas had materialized via Oskar’s wielding of the power of heaven and earth. They ensured that all spiritual energy of the contestants within the arena would not spill over to the outside world, curbing the repercussions of a battle between level nine supreme saints!

Only then can all contestants be able to perform to their full potential.

As soon as those arenas appeared, Severin sensed the power of heaven and earth emerging from them. He could sense that it was like an independent space of its own!

At that moment, the nine peak masters soared one after another into the air and channeled rays and rays of spiritual light from their hands. There were tens of thousands of rays which morphed into a palm-sized black-and-gold token as they landed on each of the contestants’ hands.

Severin received one as well, and he noticed that head of the token was a delicate pattern of carved dragons and phoenixes, while the tail was column that showed the accumulation of points.
