Samuel spat out a mouthful of blood, horrified as he looked at Chad descending from the sky."Immortal Unity? How is this possible!"Bang!Chad did not waste any words, kicking Samuel's head into the ground. The sound of cracking bones echoed as Chad used his chiropractic methods, enhanced by the powerful force of Immortal Unity, to dislocate Samuel's skeleton.Finally, Chad grabbed Samuel by the hair and lifted him. Samuel, with his bones dislocated, hung limply in Chad's grip, coughing violently."Chad, you're impressive! You surprised me..." Samuel laughed."Tell me! Who's the mastermind?" Chad demanded fiercely, but Samuel, his face covered in blood, smirked disdainfully."Humans can't defeat the immortals. A wise man knows when to retreat. Why are you doing this?"Bang! Crack!Chad did not expect Samuel to try to persuade him to surrender. He punched Samuel in the abdomen, causing him to spew blood all over Chad's face."Tell me! Who else is behind this? Who's plotting a
An assassin's unique attack methods made it easy for Willow to cross boundaries and launch an ambush. Having successfully struck once, Willow did not linger, quickly carrying Chad away.However...Temple Road suddenly lit up with numerous intricate patterns, activating its formation."Trying to escape? Not so easy!" Samuel formed a hand seal and pointed at Chad and Willow, immobilizing them. Glowing silver lines crawled up Willow's body from the ground."Jasmine, catch him!" Willow, determined, covered herself in golden light and mustered all her strength to throw Chad into the Hall of Herbs. Jasmine barely managed to catch Chad, and they both fell to the ground."Hide! Don't worry about me!" Chad immediately instructed Jasmine to hide upon seeing her.However, Jasmine took out a small jade bottle and fed Chad a rebirth elixir. That was the elixir Chad had given her during their mission in Haron City to kill Marshawn, which she had not used.Swish!At the same time, Willow swun
Chad's Mystic cultivation might have been sealed, but he still had his martial arts cultivation. In his Immortal Unity state, Chad's martial arts cultivation was comparable to that of a martial supreme.Though he could not access Immortal Unity then, he could still use the Mountain Fists technique he had learned!Boom!Samuel attempted to control Chad using the formation, but Chad's fist landed on him before he could fully activate it. Chad's punch was as fast and powerful as a bullet, and Samuel could not see any shadow of movement on Chad's body."Light meridian, activate!" Chad suddenly shouted, forcing a black needle out of his body, which further increased his speed. He then kicked Samuel into the air, jumping up to meet him in mid-air. Chad raised his leg high and delivered a powerful downward kick.Boom!Whizz!Samuel crashed back to the ground like a cannonball, creating a massive crater."Dark meridian, activate!" As Chad's voice echoed, his figure seemed to disappea
Samue laughed and said, "I'm telling the truth!""You're asking for death!"Chad flew into a rage and swung his palm toward Samuel!Bang!Samuel tried to muster his inner energy to resist but could not feel any.Shocked, he noticed that the wound inflicted by Willow's sneak attack had turned black.Willow's knife was poisoned with the Inkwell Clan's secret venom, which specifically targeted the cultivation of those with Mystic abilities.Thus, Samuel could only watch helplessly as Chad's palm, filled with immense power, struck his chest.The massive force shredded all his clothes.Severely injured, Samuel knelt on the ground, barely lifting his head to look at Chad with a playful smile on his face."So this is the power of the Mountain Fists! Turns out it grows stronger with each battle!"Chad, via his Clairvoyant Eye, saw the golden glow on Samuel's body fade away and finally relaxed.However, as Chad relaxed, his skin began to crack, and his veins swelled with excess bloo
Chad stood in front of the Yggdrasil seed, fully prepared for a desperate counterattack.Back in the underground chamber of the Williams Village, he had crafted three inner pills, using only two in his fight against Marshawn. The last one, the most potent berserk pill, was still in his stomach, wrapped in his inner breath.Just moments ago, when Samuel had sealed him, Chad feared that he might accidentally consume the inner pill without the protection of his inner breath.That berserk pill was Chad's ultimate trump card, and it would have been a waste to use it carelessly. Fortunately, after forcing out the eight black needles, Chad found that the berserk pill was still intact.However, his body had been severely damaged due to the unique force-exerting technique of the Mountain Fists, making it suicidal to consume the berserk pill in his current state.Therefore, Chad could only hope the Yggdrasil seed could purify his body.Roar!Just as Jojo was about to pounce in front of Ch
After Samuel recovered, a sinister smile appeared on his face."You actually have a Yggdrasil seed? I must thank you, then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to complete this transformation!"Those words stunned not only Chad but also Jojo.As the Evergrow within Samuel was completely purged, his previous injuries healed, and a golden light emanated from his body."Everyone fears Evergrow, viewing it as a catastrophe, yet Evergrow is the key to immortality!"Samuel laughed triumphantly, and the immortal crown behind his head reappeared, although its shape had drastically changed.Although his immortal crown still had five points, intricate runic patterns connected each point.At a glance, the five points of the immortal crown behind Samuel's head formed a complex array disk."I must thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have become an immortal. As a token of gratitude, I'll leave your corpse intact!"Chad was truly bewildered; he never expected Evergrow to be the key to immort
However, Miss Sixth was controlling Chad's body at that moment. She ignored Samuel's questions."Frost Peony, attack!"As Miss Sixth's voice came from Chad's mouth, the white sword, Frost Peony, suddenly transformed into a flurry of petals."So naive! Do you think having a divine weapon means you can fight me? You will die today!"Samuel's expression changed as he moved his hands, causing numerous formation patterns to swirl like a nest of snakes, attempting to trap Chad once more. However, the petals of Frost Peony sliced through those patterns as if they were tofu.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Each petal became a razor-sharp flying knife, and in the blink of an eye, two petals pierced Samuel's shoulder while he was momentarily distracted. Despite the superhuman regenerative abilities granted by the Evergrow, Samuel was horrified by the power of that divine weapon."Great Master, can you handle this or not? If not, I'm leaving!"Jojo had not expected Chad to have another trick up h
Chad's face darkened as he grabbed Samuel by the neck and squeezed with sudden force."Die!"Crack!Samuel's neck snapped!Just as Chad withdrew his hand, he saw Samuel's neck visibly start to heal and reattach. That was entirely unexpected for Chad, and by the time he tried to grab Samuel again, it was too late.Samuel formed a seal with one hand, and a massive array appeared behind him, enveloping him completely. In the blink of an eye, Samuel vanished!Chad, shocked, shot into the sky and scanned the surroundings but found no trace of Samuel."Damn it!"Chad roared in frustration as he landed back on the ground, reverting from his immortal state.The berserk pill's effects were still coursing through him, his head adorned with the glowing rings of an immortal crown, his body brimming with violent, restless energy, desperate for release. The truths Samuel had revealed only fueled Chad's fury further.At that moment, the phone in the Hall of Herbs rang. Chad rushed inside to
As Chad sat in meditation on Decaying Peaks, a faint, glowing white immortal crown slowly appeared behind his head. When that immortal crown manifested, a quake occurred everywhere outside Mount Causabour. The frequency of those tremors was extremely high, and everyone could clearly feel them. The vast area they covered included the entire Hacniane. It was as if some ancient seal in the vast sky had been triggered.Chad opened his eyes in shock amid his breakthrough, realizing that the impending heavenly punishment seemed to be directed at him and the millions of mystical beings beneath Mount Causabour.Suddenly, a thunderous voice erupted in the sky, as loud as a bolt of lightning:"Cut off the road to the heavens, seal the underworld; a red banner halts a million immortals, and a red star exterminates ghosts and demons!"Sever Yggdrasil, raise the grand array; a handful of Evergrow blocks the celestial river, and the vast multiverse bows to humanity!"By decree, this is a real
Sir Holt anxiously looked up at the sky as the tribulation clouds suddenly began to churn violently.Crack! Crack! Crack!At that moment, the first bolt of heavenly punishment finally struck.However, that bolt of divine lightning fell upon the mirage of the Mystic Archive, where it disappeared without a trace. The entire Mount Causabour shook a few times, and everyone could feel a soothing sensation within the mountain.Anyone who felt this would experience a surge of confidence deep within, and any discomfort they felt in their bodies seemed to improve significantly.On Decaying Peaks, that sensation was even more pronounced, and more and more people began to manifest the immortal crown behind their heads. In just a few minutes, nearly everyone on Decaying Peaks, hundreds of people in total, had an immortal crown appear behind them.That included Flynn and Harvey, who were sitting on the outskirts of Decaying Peaks. They, too, had immortal crowns appear behind their heads.How
Sir Holt and Zayan looked up at the sky with expressionless faces, though their hearts were in turmoil. Within the rolling clouds, faint traces of multicolored light shimmered.As time passed, the colorful lights appeared more frequently, as if gradually consuming the clouds."Such intense ascension light—there must be tens of thousands ascending!""There are probably more. The latest statistics show that 264,777 people have entered Mount Causabour!""Over 260,000? How did so many people get here?"Zayan looked at Sir Holt in shock, and Sir Holt turned his gaze toward the winding mountain road leading into the area."There are still many more people outside trying to get in, but the place is already so crowded that they can't fit."Zayan looked with concern toward the entrance to the mountain. "Won't those stuck on the road cause a disturbance?""They won't!" Sir Holt said with certainty. "Unless they're fools, they've probably already started meditating where they are. Even if
Among the 250,000 people, quite a few were not actually autistic patients. After sleeping for two full days, Chad woke up and realized that possibility. He carefully considered the potential issues that might arise during the process and decided to issue an announcement."The treatment will begin shortly. Non-autistic patients are advised to leave the Mount Causabour area to avoid unnecessary complications."That announcement was broadcast three times through loudspeakers positioned throughout Mount Causabour. Finally, the loudspeaker voice declared, "The treatment will officially begin in one hour!"At the same time, Chad made his way to the Decaying Peaks, the summit of Mount Causabour, where an over-century-old pavilion stood.Entering the pavilion, Chad sat down in a meditative position. Soon, he noticed a dense crowd gathering around the pavilion, all sitting in meditation poses around him.As Chad glanced over those people, he recognized several familiar faces. The people ar
Mount Causabour Medical Center, built halfway up Mount Causabour, was a sizable palace-style complex with three courtyards. The center was constructed along the mountain's slope, extending all the way to the base of the Decaying Peaks. Flynn and Harvey were placed in the innermost courtyard, suggesting that their grandfather, Fenton Cooper, likely knew some inside information but had not shared it with his grandsons.On that day, the Hacniane Cabinet issued several announcements. First, they created separate legislation for ability users and cultivators to regulate their powers. Second, they planned to designate special zones in each city for ability users and Mystics, separating them from ordinary people. Lastly, they urgently introduced the Sixteen Temporary Rules for Ability Users and Mystic Practitioners to regulate their behavior.Those announcements seemed like they were aimed at restricting ability users, but in reality, they were meant to reassure ordinary people, ensurin
A massive leap in the realm could bring unimaginable fortune to the dragon vein, potentially altering Hacniane's fate.That was also Chad's grand gift to the two elders, using the sudden surge in the dragon vein's power to help Hacniane avoid the impending catastrophe triggered by the nuclear explosion of the firmament.Earlier that day, through Chad's Clairvoyant Eye, he saw Kennington shrouded in a faint gray-black mist. Chad did not know what it was but felt it resembled Evergrow, yet not quite the same.However, Chad was certain that accidents would surely happen if ordinary people were exposed to it in large quantities. As a Mystic, he could already feel its effects on his body.At that moment, Sir Holt got into the car, looking at Chad with a solemn expression. "Kid, give me the bottom line!"After careful consideration, Chad laid out his thoughts. Upon hearing them, Sir Holt began to tremble. According to Chad, he would need to mobilize at least 100,000 troops to ensure the
Having a Mystic Archive and unlocking a Mystic Archive were two different matters. Only a handful of people were recorded to have a Mystic Archive throughout history. There were only two earliest verifiable individuals with documented works still in existence.The first was Hugo Gerant, a renowned physician from an ancient empire, a practitioner of Mystic Therapeutics, and an alchemist. His surviving medical works include The Hundred Letters, Gerant's Emergency Treatments, and the famous Embracing Simplicity.After his death, several notable physicians throughout history have inadvertently inherited his Mystic Archive, but none have fully inherited it. It was said that Mystics knew the method to obtain Gerant's Mystic Archive a thousand years ago, but that knowledge had since been lost.The second individual is Damian Lotin, a figure from another ancient dynasty. He left behind many works, including one titled The Whisper of the Blue Plant.Aside from them, other people who possess
Chad gave them a cold smile. "Extract the immortal bone to cure the illness.""No! Absolutely not! I won't allow it!""Me neither. There's no way we can let that happen!"The entire room erupted into panic. Some even tried to attack Chad, but they were quickly subdued.Chad looked at them and said, "Then tell me the truth.""I'll speak! I failed my tribulation and fell from the celestial realm. I used to have nine crowns, but now I'm down to five...""And me! I also fell from the celestial realm after failing my tribulation. Now I only have three crowns...""I disguised myself as one of the wounded soldiers and was brought here. After losing all my cultivation, I've since regained two crowns!""I was brought back from the firmament by my husband. After we arrived here, I lost all my cultivation and never practiced again. We had a child later, and he was perfectly normal, but I never expected my grandson to..."As those people spoke, Zayan and Sir Holt were stunned! Those peopl
"You know the cause of the illness?"Zayan was shocked, almost in disbelief."Do you realize this child is the same age as you? Even your master examined him but couldn't find the cause!"Chad nodded and said, "But I do know, and I have a bold theory—that the cause of autism in all these children might be the same..."As he spoke, some thoughts suddenly flashed through Chad's mind, shocking even him, leading him to say, "And I suspect this might be related to the increasing number of ability users and cultivators over the past century!""Really?!"Zayan grabbed Chad's arm, hardly believing what he was hearing.However, Chad spoke with firm conviction, "It's very likely true, but I need to see more children with autism.""Wait here; I'll make arrangements right away!"Soon, Chad and his group arrived at the largest hospital in Kennington, the Ninth Military District Hospital, and Xyder was also brought along. Chad saw hundreds of children with autism there!Before entering the
