The elder was furious with what the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug did."Damn it! You destroyed everything I had!"He was filled with anger. His eyes were red as he yelled hysterically. His voice was shrill, and it sounded like the shrill of a banshee."Did you think you were the only one who knew how to use voodoo?" Chase grunted coldly."Impossible! How could you know restricted mystical techniques?" The elder was in disbelief. Only a direct descendent of the clan was qualified to cultivate the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug."Nothing is impossible in this world," Chase said with conviction.He flicked his fingers after that, and a green talisman appeared. It exploded with a loud bang and formed into a burning ball of flame.Two balls of flame came flying over and sat on each side of Chase's shoulder. The flames burned furiously as they formed into fire armor that covered him. His defense increased."You must die…"The elder laughed crazily.He waved his hand, and two wooden puppets
Chase saw that the entire living room was covered in blood. The walls were filled with various frightening torture tools."Is this how the Starks treat their guests?" Chase's expression was cold. He said this slowly and carefully, making sure every word was heard.The Starks!They were crossing the line!"Who's there?!"An angry voice was heard from deep inside the house. It was followed by violent coughing.A young man with messy hair struggled to stand. He was covered in blood. An arm fell limply below his shoulders. The cut on it was clean, and it was a horrifying sight to see.His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Chase. "You worthless ant, you—pfft!"He only managed a few words before his throat caught something and he coughed up blood."Who are you? The Starks have never crossed paths with you. Why do you want me dead?!" He was a member of the Starks, and he questioned Chase with clenched teeth.A name immediately appeared in Chase's mind at the sight of this Stark fa
Something sped by in the air, and several powerful auras were coming in close."Who are you? How dare you slaughter the Starks?"The man in the lead grunted coldly. He had a spear in his hand and came speeding over in a flash to stab Chase in the back.Chase did not look back. He raised his left hand and flicked his finger. There was a loud bang, and the spear broke into pieces. Turning back, he waved his hand. The dagger shot out midair and stabbed right between the man's eyes."H-How is this possible…" The man's eyes widened as he looked at Chase in disbelief. His mouth moved as if trying to say something, but his body gradually turned cold and stiff. This happened in a flash.By the time the other powerful auras appeared, the man with the spear was dead."Who are you?!" The two men were shocked. They were looking at Chase in great astonishment."I should be the one asking who you are," Chase sneered, his eyes narrowing.The two old men stepped forward and said in a deep voic
"Who exactly is that young man? Why haven't I heard of him? The Starks are finished for making such a powerful enemy."Chase was decisive and resolute. He was ruthless, which frightened many of the Starks' guards.He closed his eyes to rest. Thin, black smoke began wafting out of his body and it eventually covered everything around Chase. No one was able to get near him.This was a lonely mountain peak that was far away from the bustling city.After some time, a car came by and parked near the mountain."Bastard!"Someone roared in misery. Theo Stark jumped out of his car. He was furious and roared with great anger.He looked at the abandoned house in front of him. Sorrow, fear, and revenge consumed him. His roars echoed all around."Chase Collins! Where is my son, Tank?!"He ran toward the ruins crazily.Just as Theo was about to get inside, he suddenly sensed a great danger. The next thing he knew, the mountain began shaking. It felt like the sky was about to fall. Theo was
Meanwhile, Chase was glowing in gold light, looking like a God of War.He was dressed to hunt, and there was a cold look in his eye. He displayed no emotions, acting like all he had done was kill an ant.Chase pulled out his sword, where blood was dripping down the blade.He turned to leave and headed to look for the Webers. Now that he was done with the Starks, it was time to take care of the Webers.Chase thought about this as he walked there. The Starks were one of the most wealthy families in Capital City. It did not bother him to destroy the Starks, but he had to find a good reason to do so or it might make others suspicious."Forget about it. I'll destroy the Weber Secret Sect first before thinking about this."Not long after, Chase arrived at the door of the Weber Secret Sect. He pushed the door open and strode in.The guards of the Weber Secret Sect saw Chase barge in and shouted, "Who dares come into the Weber Secret Sect?!" Chase kept silent as he continued walking i
Everyone was delighted.Halver Weber, the master of the Weber Secret Sect, was a peak martial arts saint. He was the second most powerful man after the Supreme Elder of the Webers.Two old men in black stood next to him with powerful auras. One of them was the leader of the Webers' Enshrined, Dennis Cloy. The other man was Halver's brother, Cletus."Who are you? How dare you barge into the Weber residence?! Don't you know that the Webers are Capital City's top family?" Halver said with a cold look on his face."Top family?" Chase laughed condescendingly and said with indifference, "I heard that the Webers possess two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Bring them out here. Give me those herbs and the Webers will live. Otherwise…"Chase paused at this point. He swept a glance at all the Webers present. A cynical smile appeared on his face. "This isn't much. The Webers are nothing to me!"Halver was enraged and roared, "What arrogance! Don't blame us for retaliating with force now t
"Kill him!"These martial artists were all powerful fighters. Even the weakest among them was a peak eighth-tier semi-saint. They sensed with their consciousness that Halver had been defeated.All of the Webers' powerhouses were filled with hate and anger. They took out their weapons and lunged toward Chase in an attack.The look in Chase's eye became even colder when the Webers retaliated. "I'll destroy the Webers today and get those two medicinal herbs after."A huge sword shadow formed behind Chase. The sword flash swept in all directions, destroying all of the weapons in the attack against Chase.Chase took another step forward. The sword in hand dazzled so brightly that it hurt the eyes. The light covered every corner as if about to destroy everything.It took only a short time for the Webers' powerhouses to be slaughtered. They did not even have the chance to retaliate. They were as weak as sick chickens.Cletus was shocked, feeling his hair stand on end. It felt like deat
Chase would rather exhaust his vital energy than use precious ingredients. After all, he aimed to be at the peak of martial arts.If he relied on precious ingredients to help achieve peak stage momentarily, it would easily leave unwanted side effects or even cause his power to spiral. His cultivation would be forever stalled if that happened.There was a reason why some things were too good to be true.The cultivator's path meant that the more powerful the skill, the more difficulties one had to endure. It was the same with saint-level skills."If I accumulate enough experience, I can still formulate a plan to scale to greater heights even if I'm unable to achieve a breakthrough within a short time."There was a glint deep inside Chase's eye.All the old and weak, women and children of the Webers were just ants to Chase. He could destroy them with just a flip of the hand. They were not worth mentioning at all.However, if they gathered, they would be able to produce great power
Looking at Greedy Wolf's spirit that looked so adorable, Chase could not help but feel a bit of sympathy for it.He allowed his spiritual form to manifest in front of the tree hollow and gently stroked the little white wolf's fur.The spirit was startled.It had never sensed Chase's presence, yet now, Chase had appeared directly before it, touching its fur without warning.If Chase had harbored any ill intent, would that not mean it could have killed it at any moment?The wolf's fur bristled instantly, and it bared its tiny fangs, letting out what was meant to be a fierce howl just like a real wild wolf.Yet to Chase, it only looked like a little pup pretending to be intimidating.Amused, he scooped it up into his arms. The young wolf froze on the spot.By all logic, anyone caught within its innate aura of killing intent should have seen it as a vicious, bloodthirsty predator. Yet Chase was holding it like a pet—as if it were nothing more than an ordinary puppy.Its eyes were
After cultivating the Tranquil Mind Technique, Chase not only gained the ability to conceal his consciousness, but his perception had also grown incredibly sharp. He could clearly sense the emotions of everyone present—shock, unwillingness, frustration, and even anger.Even so, it did not matter. His strength far surpassed theirs, and none of them posed a threat to him.Once he received Greedy Wolf, however, their emotions shifted toward astonishment.This went for everyone except Castiel, who clearly looked dissatisfied. It seemed he had long coveted this blade.Could this sword be even more formidable than it appeared? Gripping the handle in his right hand, Chase immediately felt its defiance.The blade resisted him, as if trying to break free, radiating an overwhelming killing intent.Through his consciousness, he faintly perceived a lone wolf lurking in the darkness, its eyes gleaming coldly as it watched him with a ruthless, predatory gaze.A weaker warrior who was unable
Though the sect's founder had passed down three Skyfeather Robes, this particular one had the strongest defensive power. It was rumored to contain a hidden body-refining technique, though no one had been able to uncover it.Meanwhile, Ivana gazed at Chase, her joy growing even more evident.She knew that the Skyfeather Robe was crafted from the skin of a whale and the feathers of a phoenix, making it one of Passive Monastery's most treasured heirlooms.Once worn, it could withstand any attack below stage three martial god, repel water and fire, and resist all forms of poison and corrosion.More importantly, Chase now looked exactly like a refined scholar, which was exactly to her taste. Her heart raced, filled with an uncontrollable longing.Standing nearby, Castiel and Turk, who had been too overwhelmed by Chase's sheer presence to pay attention to anything else, finally turned to look at Ivana.At that moment, they realized they had lost something far more important than just a
Ivana could hardly believe what she was seeing. She instinctively reached out, trying to touch Chase to confirm if he was real.Marvin finally snapped out of his shock and quickly pulled his daughter back. "Mr. Collins... What's this?"His voice trembled as he spoke, and his mind was racing. He even wondered if the Chase standing before them was just an illusion.However, the pressure and presence Chase exuded earlier had been undeniable, so why was it that their spiritual senses could no longer detect him?Chase glanced at their stunned expressions and immediately understood. Smiling, he said, "Here, take this back. The Tranquil Mind Technique is indeed an excellent method."He handed the silk scroll back to Marvin.What did that mean? Was he implying the technique was not good enough?This was a lower world-grade technique, something Marvin had spent a long time persuading the previous pavilion master to hand over, only to be refused repeatedly!Baron frowned. For a body-refi
Marvin hesitated for a moment before responding somewhat awkwardly, "It seems this estate was already plundered before we arrived. We found nothing."A hidden estate had appeared yet yielded no treasures, which was indeed an unusual occurrence. He was worried that Chase might use this as an excuse to make things difficult for them.Though their group of six might have a chance if they used every trick they had, the sheer destruction in the valley and the ground having been polished smooth like the bottom of a bowl left them uneasy. If a fight broke out, they would likely suffer heavy casualties.Marvin gritted his teeth, then retrieved a silk scroll from his storage ring and handed it to Chase. "However, Mr. Collins, you saved several of our young members. As a token of gratitude, we would like to offer you a gift—the Passive Monastery's 'Tranquil Mind Technique.' This mental cultivation method strengthens the soul and can be trained up to the peak of the martial god realm."Chas
Several figures flew over. When they saw the smooth, bowl-like surface of the valley, they could not hide their shock. What kind of person would have this level of power? To reshape the entire valley like this…Among them, the purple-clad young woman, Ivana, immediately recognized Chase from their previous encounter."Sir!" She swiftly flew forward and greeted him with a respectful bow.Beside her, an elder in a black robe with a long beard—clearly her superior—was taken aback.Seeing Ivana rushing toward an unknown figure, whose aura was overwhelming and possibly hostile, he felt a surge of unease and quickly followed after her."Ivana, don't be reckless!" His tone carried a hint of reproach as he shot her a warning glance.Ivana pouted in frustration but obediently stepped back behind him, though she still could not resist making a playful face.Chase found her antics amusing and asked casually, "Who are you people? What do you want?"The long-bearded man cupped his fists a
The man with small eyes observed Chase's stance. He did not seem to be gathering any elemental energy, which made the man suspicious.A martial artist at the martial nirvana stage, with only a stage six martial god cultivation, was trying to block the Nefarious Deity's Three Slaughterers' combined attack using just his body?Even Knox Nefary, the strongest physical cultivator of the Nefarious Deity Sect, could not do that.This brat was too arrogant!The other two had the same thought as they smirked in disdain.By now, the water-fire-poison dragon drill had reached Chase, carrying the power of heaven and earth. The impact rippled outward like waves, turning everything in its path—trees, boulders—into dust. Any wild beasts that had not escaped in time were instantly reduced to a bloody mist.Even the Nefarious Deity's Three Slaughterers, still seated in mid-air, felt the shockwave. They hurriedly channeled their energy to block it.The man with small eyes frowned inside his prot
At that moment, the sky darkened, storm clouds gathered, and lightning crackled through the air. It seemed as if a torrential downpour could begin at any second.If someone were standing on the battlefield, they would have experienced a constant shift in temperature—one moment freezing cold, the next blazing hot, then pierced by eerie, bone-chilling winds, only to suddenly feel numb from electric shocks.The four warriors, each wielding a different elemental force, had created a chaotic clash of energies. Their power leaked into the surroundings, sending wild beasts and demonic creatures fleeing in terror.Chase's long hair, which had grown out over the past few months, fluttered wildly in the wind. His sharp gaze hardened. He could not allow the three of them to continue amassing power.He silently chanted an incantation. Three clones materialized behind him.The four versions of Chase exchanged a glance. Then, the three clones dashed forward, each targeting one of the Nefarious
By the time Chase noticed, a swarm of venomous creatures had gathered around him.Among them were common species like black mambas, golden-ringed snakes, green pit vipers, seven-step vipers, crimson scorpions, and long-tailed centipedes, but mixed in were also rare and deadly breeds such as Nether Vipers and Thousand Calamities Azure Snake.What was going on? Wait… Nether Vipers?!A familiar voice suddenly echoed above him. "Go to hell!"Chase looked up and saw a figure hovering in the air.Sure enough—it was the man with small eyes. He was still alive!Chase glanced at the corpse he had just slain moments ago. What lay there was not a real body but a pile of beast bones, blood, and shredded fur—a decoy.How careless of him. The warriors of the Nefarious Deity Sect were as troublesome as ever.He let out a quiet sigh.The man with small eyes, on the other hand, was seething with hatred.Back at the Nefarious Deity Sect, the three brothers had initially dismissed the Nefarious
