"Do you hear that, pretty lady? Hannah Jones obviously has an unusual relationship with Chase Collins. She wouldn't be protecting him otherwise. Were you cheated by him, miss? Don't worry about it. All you need is to move aside now and we'll give you a chance to take revenge on him!"Douglas tried to create discord between Chase and Quinn.A beautiful woman like her who has cultivated to such a powerful stage would probably not want to share a man with another woman.Douglas was confident about this.Quinn listened to their uncouth words.Her expression remained calm as she spoke up coldly."The fact that you want to kill Chase is enough for us to know that there is no way this can be settled in a friendly manner. Prepare to die!" Quinn was firm about this.Zach and Douglas looked at each other.They knew that they had to do this the hard way.Both of them gave the order at almost the same time without hesitation."Kill them!"The enemy was about to attack.That was when
"You dare have me killed?" Zach could not believe this. He did not expect Chase to want to kill him too."Why not? Do you think only you can kill others and I can't kill you?" Chase said as he attacked with a sword intent.Zach channeled every ounce of true energy within him to defend against the attack.Although it was a casual wave of sword intent from Chase, it caused a strong enough tremor to numb Zach.That was when Zach finally realized that despite being on the same cultivation level as Chase, there was still a vast gap in power between them.He now understood what a joke he was to think that he was able to suppress Chase purely by releasing his energy before.Chase released another wave of sword intent.Zach channeled all his true energy once more and managed to block the attack, but barely.He knew that if Chase came at him one more time with another sword intent, his protective energy field would be completely shattered."Save me, Third Elder!"Zach had no choice bu
Chase did not interfere when he saw this.He had used his sword intent to test Zach because he was worried that Zach might have other moves up his sleeves. When he saw Edward from Sosa Clan panic, Chase knew that it was because Zach was in crisis. When faced with imminent danger, Zach did not pull any unexpected moves.That was when Chase was confident that Zach was out of tricks.He stepped forward through layers of phantom images and appeared in front of Zach. It took only several steps from Chase to cover yards of distance."Chase Collins… W… What do you want?"Zach backed away while asking.He was not able to put much of a distance between them as Zach knocked into Douglas, who was behind him."The person you want is him, isn't it? Just get him if you want. How dare he make you a wanted criminal. Don't worry, Chase Collins. I won't protect him this time." Zach seemed to remember this and he pushed Douglas to the front to shield himself.Douglas was much calmer than Zach w
"What do you think, Hannah?"Chase asked her.Hannah did not say anything about it.All she did was tell Chase to make a decision quickly no matter what. Hannah had lived in Capital City for a long time and she knew better than Chase that the longer this was dragged, the worse it would be for them.Chase had the same thought."Hold those two back!"Chase gave the order and Quinn, Hannah, and Hamish ran toward Edward and Otis.As for Chase, he went straight for Douglas.He wanted to find out what exactly about Douglas that bothered him so much.Could it be just as he guessed and Douglas also possessed the blood of the true dragon?The look in Douglas' eyes turned dark as he watched Otis, who was protecting him, forced away by the enemy.Douglas came to a decision and went straight toward Chase.He did not evade or hide from the attack. Douglas tore up his shirt and revealed a vivid tattoo of a white tiger on his chest.Chase found this puzzling.That was when the white tig
That was when the space in front of Douglas began to bend and it slowly turned into a light screen.A figure was standing inside it."What's wrong, Douglas? What's making you so bad?"The figure stared at the ground full of broken items but the voice was calm as it spoke from the light screen."Dad, that b*astard, Chase Collins is back!"Douglas did not dare to hide anything from the man in front of him.He was not only his father, he was also the patriarch of the Webers, the White Tiger of the White Tiger Army. He had surpassed the level of martial lord.Even Douglas had no idea how powerful his father was."He's just a bastard from a family that no longer exists. Why must you get so worked up? Just kill him. We weren't afraid of the Collins when they were around and he's just a lone mutt right now. A man of caliber like you should be able to defeat this bastard."The figure spoke calmly. This was a small matter to him."Dad, I lost. Moreover…""What?"There was a slight c
On the other side of the void was Chase's Dragon Vein Secret Realm.When Gareth and Scott got inside, the first thing they saw was an extraordinary and impressive beast.Gareth could not believe his eyes."This... This is…" He mumbled for a long time without being able to complete his sentence.Scott did not recognize this beast at all. He stared at the massive beast and the agitated Gareth.He had no idea what was going on.Chase came in behind them.Gareth quickly asked Chase about it."Is that him?"Chase had mixed feelings when he saw Gareth being careful with his question. It was clear that he had seen the Divine Black Turtle before.He nodded slightly."Great. This is great."Gareth was excited to get confirmation from Chase. Gareth did not even bother hiding the tears in his eyes.Scott and Gareth had seen the Divine Black Turtle the moment they got inside.It was because Chase had told the Divine Black Turtle about this.The Divine Black Turtle's massive body b
The Divine Black Turtle found Gareth's words incredulous.White Tiger had actually gone against his sworn words."Divine Black Turtle, he didn't only side with the Webers. I have been secretly investigating what happened back then. We've found clues of his doings in numerous locations. He was involved with your leaving Bactria!"Gareth revealed a huge secret."What are you saying? White Tiger was the one who confused us?"The Divine Black Turtle seemed to question this but he believed this in his heart.Only another divine beast like him and Green Dragon would be able to confuse them. White Tiger was an expert in mental tactics.Besides him, no one else in the world would be powerful enough to confuse two Divine Beasts.However, the Divine Black Turtle could not figure out his reason for doing something like this.Could White Tiger have confused them to leave Bactria for one reason, which was to attack Big Brother?The Divine Black Turtle ran through the timeline in his mind
Since becoming Chase's disciples, both Finn and Iris had advanced rapidly in their cultivation even though they had not received direct guidance from Chase himself.The techniques he imparted allowed their skills to improve by leaps and bounds, making them formidable figures in their own right."Bring all of Basalt's members to Capital City!" Chase's voice commanded through the phone.As soon as Chase finished speaking, Finn promptly responded, "At your command, master!"Chase provided the location and then hung up. Gareth, who had been listening the entire time, felt deeply gratified by the conversation.After discussing some details about the base, Chase left and headed toward Herb Hall. As he approached the vicinity, he noticed something was amiss.The usually bustling streets were eerily empty, devoid of any pedestrians. This alone put Chase on alert. He extended his consciousness and quickly sensed numerous hidden figures along both sides of the street.Each one was a skill
Lysander's body trembled as he gathered all the martial god energy within him, channeling it into his legs. He unleashed a flurry of kicks, each imbued with the force of his energy.At that moment, Lysander appeared like a masterful fighter. His movements were sharp and relentless.Each kick was faster than the last, and every punch carried a force that could shatter mountains as it slammed into the wild tiger's abdomen.The tiger howled in pain as its massive body slid several feet to the side. Its stomach was dented and bleeding profusely.However, Lysander's situation deteriorated rapidly. His body was drenched in blood, and his injuries became critical.The tiger lunged again, its jaws clamping down on Lysander's shoulder with a sickening crunch. Bones shattered, and blood sprayed in all directions, soaking his clothes."Help me!" Lysander cried out desperately."Run! Just run!" shouted the remaining martial artists who had not gotten far.The scene resembled a nightmare, l
The next day, Chase continued his journey.Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently. In Chase's line of sight, a massive tiger-leopard hybrid came barreling toward him, its enormous paws smashing trees into splinters as it charged forward.This beast was akin to a martial god-level wild tiger, with a hulking frame, fur as tough as iron, and an aura radiating intense negative energy.The wild tiger let out a deafening roar. Its soundwaves reverberated in all directions, shaking the earth and instilling sheer terror in anyone who heard it."Damn it! That beast is back again!" a young martial artist cursed through gritted teeth.His left arm hung limp, shattered, and his chest bore a gruesome gash. He had nearly died from the tiger's earlier attack."Run! If we don't run now, we're dead!"The remaining five or six young martial artists turned and fled in panic.This wild tiger's strength was overwhelmingly powerful. Even elite martial god-level warriors would avoid a direct
The giant ape's massive club swept through the air, creating a terrifying gust that caused the crowns of nearby ancient trees to tremble violently.Meanwhile, Chase executed the techniques of his secret codex with agile movements. His figure flashed like lightning as he dodged the attack with precision.He surged forward without hesitation and delivered a fierce punch directly to the ape's abdomen.This strike was even more powerful than before, twisting the ape's intestines into a mess and splattering blood across the ground.The giant ape howled in anguish, thrashing wildly in an attempt to shake off its pain.Out of the corner of his eye, Chase noticed a crimson serpent coiled nearby. It slithered sinuously, measuring around ten feet long, with a body that released a pungent stench.The snake's cold, piercing gaze was fixed on Chase. It emanated a chilling sense of oppression. Its forked tongue flicked out menacingly as it launched itself at him.Chase's expression hardened.
The massive ape spread its enormous wings that spanned 25 feet in width, creating a dark shadow that blocked out the sunlight like two great black clouds.The ape let out a deafening bellow, a primal roar that resonated with the ferocity of an ancient beast.In an instant, the surrounding area—nearly 300 feet in radius—was swept by fierce winds. Sand whirled through the air, grass was uprooted, and trees swayed violently as their branches rattled and leaves scattered.The air was heavy with a menacing energy."A monster!" Chase muttered, narrowing his eyes as he took a defensive stance.The aura emanating from this creature was suffocating, its strength comparable to that of a martial god at its peak."Perfect! Let this serve as a lesson to all those fools that I'm not someone to be trifled with!"Chase launched himself forward without hesitation, closing the distance with the towering beast.His fist collided with the air, creating a sharp sonic boom that reverberated through
A sharp blade appeared in Chase's hand.This was a spiritual artifact named Azure Edge, forged by a renowned swordsmith after considerable expense and effort.A flash of cold light swept across, instantly felling over a dozen ghostly creatures.They stood no chance against Chase's strikes. Their throats were slit, and their heads separated cleanly from their bodies.A crimson crystal dropped into Chase's palm.It appeared unremarkable at first glance, but it contained a thick, viscous vitality and was more potent than ordinary blood. A faint spiritual essence seemed to pulse within it, emanating an almost sentient energy."Is this a ghost crystal?" Chase's eyes lit up with excitement.He immediately sat down cross-legged, focusing on restoring his depleted vitality.Within his core, his Sea of True Energy roiled and churned. Vitality surged as waves of energy coursed through his bloodstream, refining his muscles and bones."This ghost crystal is incredible. It's allowing my bo
Chase's pupils contracted as he sensed the impending danger.He unleashed a barrage of punches in an instant, executing the most powerful technique from the Dominion Codex.The void trembled and cracked as Chase staggered back several steps. Despite the force of his strikes, his attack barely grazed the massive beast's claws, leaving only minor scratches.The beast howled furiously, its eyes filled with unrestrained violence.Chase fixed his gaze on it, and he asked in a wary tone, "Who… or what are you?"The creature's aura was pure savagery. Its heavy, steel-like scales were nearly impenetrable. Chase's full-strength attacks barely left a mark, let alone inflicted critical damage.The beast let out a deafening roar and leaped forward, spewing a foul, dark liquid at Chase.Where the liquid hit the ground, it immediately began to corrode, releasing an acrid stench. The substance seeped into the soil like acid, causing nearby plants to wither and die almost instantly.Chase reac
"Damn it! What kind of mysterious medicine is this? The pain is unbearable!"Moments later, Chase calmed down, and his expression was dazed as he muttered to himself, "That scene… Could it have been an illusion?"Chase refused to believe it was merely an illusion. After all, if it were, how could he have seen that towering, majestic mountain?That night, Chase stayed in the cave instead of leaving. He continued to study the Dominion Codex, determined to master the technique as quickly as possible and ascend to a higher realm.…Meanwhile, a man clad in armor stood suspended in the air in another location.The man's posture was upright, his features sharp and striking, with eyes as deep and vast as the cosmos. He exuded an overwhelming aura of sharpness and power."So, it was an illusion?"The man frowned slightly, sensing a faint aura belonging to the Ghost King bloodline emanating from Chase. This discovery puzzled him."Something feels off," he murmured. "This human's bloodl
Chase stared in shock at the withered, lifeless corpse before him."So, this is the so-called secret?" Chase let out a bitter laugh and shook his head. "I thought I had stumbled upon a hidden relic, but it turns out to be nothing more than a trap."The eerie figure had used him as a mere sacrifice, intending to refine his body to restore his own strength and cultivation.The only secret Chase had uncovered was the entrance to the hidden realm, and he suspected it contained unimaginable treasures. Yet he realized the reason he could not enter alive was simple—he was not strong enough."If I've already been discovered, I might as well turn the tables!"His thoughts sharpened, and a ruthless gleam appeared in his eyes. Chase hurled a barrage of punches without hesitation.His iron fists rained down like a storm, striking the eerie figure with deafening impacts.The figure was caught completely off guard, stunned by the ferocity of Chase's counter-attack."Ahhh! You damn insect, st
With a flick of his trembling fingers, Chase unleashed a flash of silver sword energy from his fingertips, targeting the figure's forehead.The eerie figure was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Chase to launch an attack. However, he simply raised his hand and flicked a finger.The silver sword energy shattered instantly, and Chase staggered back several steps, his chest heaving with labored breaths."As I thought... My cultivation is too weak. Even using the second stance of my sword technique can't harm this old monster in the slightest. If I want to win, I'll have to use that final move…" Chase's mind raced as his gaze flickered with determination.At that moment, the eerie figure opened his eyes again, revealing a mocking grin."Your physique is peculiar," he remarked."Hahaha! Don't worry. Once you become my servant, all these divine abilities and techniques, even the secrets of the True Martial Principles, will belong to you!"As the figure finished speaking, a s
