"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
A cynical smile appeared on Chase's face. He waved his hand, and two silver flashes shot out.Silver needles pierced into the men in black's hearts and through the middle of their eyes. They did not even make a sound as they died on the spot."What…"All the Webers watching took a sharp breath and stumbled back a few steps. There was wariness in their expressions as they were filled with fear. Those men were powerful martial artists, but they were killed without even being able to retaliate."Who is this man? How dare he slaughter the guards of the Secret Sect's headquarters?!"Everyone began whispering among themselves."My gosh! That man must be a god to be so powerful. He killed all the guards from the Secret Sect's headquarters! How many people have he killed?""I heard that a powerful man emerged in Capital City who destroyed the Starks. Could it be him?""Impossible! Your news is outdated. I heard that this man's name is Chase Collins. He was born in a village at the bord
"Chase Collins, I'm actually from the Secret Sect's headquarters. I'm here on orders to bring you back to our headquarters," Hyde said respectfully with his head lowered."What if I refuse?" Chase smiled."Well…"Hyde hesitated. He clenched his teeth and replied, "The Secret Sect's headquarters has thousands of years of history and has many powerhouses among us. We won't force you if you're not willing to come with me."But you've killed so many today. The Secret Sect's headquarters will be sure to investigate this matter. If you don't come with me, you'll only anger us."Chase was delighted to hear that. This old man was threatening him by using the Secret Sect's headquarters to pressure him. This was such a despicable tactic.However, Chase did not expose his intention.It was because Hyde was right about one thing. The Secret Sect's headquarters was very powerful in Capital City. It did not matter how powerful Chase was, he would not be able to shake them off if they set thei
The noisy hall instantly turned silent.Everyone stared at Chase in shock. It was like they had seen a ghost.He had killed a martial arts saint from a distance using only his fingers.Chase headed slowly toward the group of Webers with a taunting smile on his face. "I've given you a chance, Webers, but you insist on sending yourselves to your death."Hyde trembled. He was frightened out of his mind."Please have mercy, Mr. Collins. The Webers only did what we had to after receiving orders from the Secret Sect's headquarters. This has nothing to do with the Webers!" Hyde pleaded."So what if this is the Secret Sect's headquarters' doing?" Chase's tone was cold. He was unwavering and did not pity them at all.Hyde immediately banged his head on the tiles, the sound echoing in the hall. After that, he took out a green talisman from his pockets and presented it to Chase with both his hands extended. "Please have mercy, Mr. Collins. This is a mystical treasure used for escaping th
A terrifying wave filled every space instantly. Hyde was smashed to the ground, and his chest collapsed. He bled from all orifices and died a horrible death."Dad!" Maximus Weber was in anguish as he knelt on the ground with tears falling down his face.His father was Hyde, a man who was renowned in Bactria. Hyde only needed to flick his finger and the entire Bactria would tremor because of him. Such a powerful existence had ended up dying here! He died because of the son he valued the most."What are you waiting for? Call the police! Get the superiors from the Secret Sect to slaughter this culprit!" Maximus roared hoarsely. His eyes were filled with viciousness."That's right! Report this to the Secret Sect's headquarters right now!""Kill him! Kill him and avenge Mr. Hyde!"The rest of the Webers stood up in anger as they prepared to leave the Weber residence."Did you think I was just scaring you?" Chase spoke up coolly.He strode forward and raised his hand. Several flashes
It took only one move for Chase to kill the Webers' Supreme Elder who was a martial arts saint."Are you from the Secret Sect?" Chase suddenly spoke up while looking at the figure that had suddenly appeared in the house."Yes, I am. I belong to one of the Five Major Families of Bactira, the Coopers. Give yourself up if you know what's good for you or the Coopers will have you killed!" Talon Cooper looked down arrogantly at Chase. He was acting quite haughty."The Coopers… The Coopers… Cooper… Talon Cooper!" Chase kept repeating this name, and he nodded with a sneer. "I see. No wonder I found your name familiar. Consider yourself unlucky today. You're the Cooper that I missed out on killing."He strode out and appeared in front of Talon in a flash."You…" Talon was shocked and turned pale from this. He quickly tried to defend himself by activating all of the vital energy within him. However, he was not strong enough to fight against Chase and flew off from the attack. Blood dripped
Chase shook his head and burst out laughing. There was a taunting look in his eyes. "It's true that I'm making trouble for the Secret Sect. I'll make sure to pay them a visit. I hope they'll be able to give me an explanation!"He turned to leave after that.Maximus was left behind looking dumbfounded.Chase's words had been too domineering, which only put fear in Maximus. Even though he was not willing to admit it, he knew that Chase was not just scaring him.The Secret Sect was a huge organization, but it did not mean they could never be obliterated. A new absolute powerhouse would appear one day and surpass them.Even though they were powerful, it did not mean they were without enemies. Once a new martial arts overlord appeared, the Secret Sect would find a hard time trying to survive.The look on Maximus' face showed uncertainty at this point. He finally clenched his teeth and said, "I'll bring this news to the patriarch and request him to send powerhouses to kill you."Chase
"I know I'm not your match," Ford said, bowing his head. "So, I willingly admit defeat. But I still want to see the Holy Path with my own eyes. That is why... I'm making this shameless request."His explanation actually made sense.Chase and the others already knew that Sky Dragon Holy Land was founded by the dragons who had ascended from the lower realm. It was not difficult to believe that they had the secret techniques needed to transmit battle footage.It also meant that all the rumors about Chase being a mysterious hidden expert were probably a joke among the major Holy Lands and sects. At least, among those sects that had close ties with Sky Dragon Holy Land, they probably already knew about Chase's true strength.Maybe all the Saints and Saintesses who had shown up at this little tournament in Light Divine City were actually here just to test Chase's abilities.Realizing this, Chase chuckled quietly and said, "Of course, you can come along, Ford. But first, I have to actual
After stepping down from the stage, Chase did not waste any time on unnecessary words.He quickly avoided the crowd of onlookers who acted like crazed fans and returned to the reserved inn room with Willow and the others."Tomorrow, your opponent will be the Saint of Sky Dragon Holy Land, Ford," Walter said excitedly."They say Sky Dragon Holy Land was established by the dragons who ascended from the fifth level. You thrashed the Lightning Dragon back on the fifth level the last time, so this time should be just as easy.""Where'd you get such reliable information?" Willow asked, feeling a little surprised.After all, with Walter's rather fearsome appearance—looking every bit like a bandit—most people would not want anything to do with him."I have dragon blood, remember?" Walter patted his chest proudly."Last time, after absorbing the Poison Dragon's core and a good amount of blood essence, the concentration of my dragon lineage became strong enough to catch Sky Dragon Holy La
On the main stage, Chase watched the sea of runes flying toward him. Suddenly, a spark of understanding struck him.He channeled his vital energy into the right index finger that had fused with the divine bone. Recalling the sword manual techniques, streaks of lightning-infused vital energy shot forth as sword energy.He moved his finger through the air, as if painting across the void. Each stroke unleashed a brilliant sword aura, razor-sharp and unstoppable, shattering everything in its path.Jade's rune barrage was broken apart one by one. Fragments of spiritual light and shattered runes drifted through the air.Every slash of Chase's sword aura was executed with such precision that not a single movement was wasted. The angles and trajectories were so perfect that each attack struck the runes at their most vulnerable points, maximizing impact.Among the spectators, only Carla, Fallon, and Ford—who had just rushed over—could truly appreciate the brilliance of his swordplay.More
"But the Light Divine Pearl is a creation-grade treasure. It's still only at the martial god level. It's far from being fully awakened," Fallon said with a frown.While the two spoke, Jade and Chase had already clashed head-on. Jade had unleashed her Thousand Eyes and Flowers.Countless ancient runes, shining with brilliance, shot out from the light screen behind her. Each rune faintly contained the essence of martial arts, distorting the space as they passed.If one's cultivation was insufficient, one's mind and soul would likely be shaken first, followed by one's body being pierced by the runes.As the rain of runes blasted toward Chase like a raging storm, the spectators below gasped as they were finally witnessing a truly grand spectacle.Willow and the others were awed by the sheer momentum of Jade's ultimate move. Although they knew Chase would not be harmed, they could not help but feel anxious."Can Chase block it?" Lisa asked worriedly while glancing at Willow."My mast
Jade gritted her teeth as she gathered all her vital energy, preparing to unleash her ultimate move. It was the very origin of her title—Thousand Eyes and Flowers.Behind her, a vital energy screen spread open like a peacock fanning its tail.The surface was covered with intricate patterns, resembling the eye-like spots on a peacock's feathers.These patterns were not mere decorations. Each one was an ancient rune, capable of releasing a devastating vital energy attack.When Jade unleashed this move, everyone below gasped in shock."No way, this is just a friendly tournament match. Does Jade really need to go this far?""Should we reinforce the arena's defensive array? I'm afraid someone might get caught in the crossfire.""Tsk, tsk, it's been so long since we last saw Jade lose her temper. She's even more stunning when she is angry!""You're such a pervert. If you get hit by that move, there will not even be a corpse left of you!""You don't understand. There are worse ways t
Inside Universal Holy Land, Clive and his master were facing off against the woman suspected to be the Dark Divine Pearl. Meanwhile, at Light Divine City, Chase's fourth round at the tournament's semifinals had already begun.His opponent was Jade, the Saintess of Modest Lady Holy Land, also known as Thousand Eyes and Flowers.It was already extremely rare for two contestants with such a rare same surname to appear in the same tournament. They belonged to different factions yet both were advancing to the final few rounds. Not to mention, if Yara had revealed his phoenix bloodline and inheritance, he might have very well made it to the finals too.The people with the surname Fries were terrifying beyond words!These were the thoughts running through Chase's head for no particular reason. On the other hand, after Jade saluted, she launched her attack without hesitation.Chase, still a bit distracted, was startled by the ferocity of her strike. Such a name and demeanor, paired with
Skyler spoke proudly.Clive kept having the feeling that something did not seem right when he heard Skyler's words."The Holy Path will only open after winning the tournament championship. Only those selected by the champion can enter. I was already eliminated in the second round…" Clive stammered."Won't you become the champion after killing the current champion? Isn't killing Chase Collins what you want to do?" Skyler was frustrated with Clive.Clive finally realized what felt wrong about all of this."You're not Skyler," he said coldly.The Universal Element Priest had also locked down on Skyler with his vital energy at this point. "Reveal yourself. Who are you? What did you do to Skyler?""Oh? How did you know?" Skyler was taken aback but quickly calmed down and asked the question. "What's wrong with my charisma and appearance?"He looked at his body and clothes while asking the questions with curiosity and calmness. This person had admitted to pretending to be Skyler."Fir
"His will is a blur." Clive sounded helpless when he added, "But it's a will that is extremely frightening and evil."He had the right to this opinion as someone who had faced Klondike directly.When Klondike's will was directed at him, Clive could feel unlimited fear and helplessness. Any second more of facing Klondike might make him lose his mind.He could barely take the energy pumped into him. He only managed to get through it because of his guilt for Rania and his desire to live.The thought of begging Klondike was equivalent to seeing death.There was one reason why he was brave enough to talk about Klondike with the Universal Element Priest and Skyler. It was because Klondike was in a stage of being half awake and half asleep. Clive only dared to discuss Klondike when he was asleep.However, speaking of anything that crossed the line would attract his attention, and Clive was not willing to see that happen.The Universal Element Priest and Skyler glanced at each other. The
Both of those disciples thought they could see Skyler lose his temper, but he reacted calmly. The attempts to fan the situation seemed to have failed. Had they lost credibility with Skyler for their misguided actions?They broke into a cold sweat from fear.Those disciples had offended the previous and current Saints. It looked like they had just made life tougher for themselves.They glanced at each other and gave a long sigh.…Inside Universal Element Palace, Clive had placed Rania down on a training mat while he knelt in front of his master, the Universal Element Priest. "Master, please save Rania North. I'm willing to pay any price without regrets!"He spoke with great determination, and there was a grim look on his face."Silly boy." The Universal Element Priest glanced at Clive and sighed."Rania North seems to have been poisoned by a vicious curse and an extraterritorial poison. I can temporarily save her life, but her face…" He shook his head."I'm grateful enough that
