Chase slapped him, beating his mouth to a pulp."You talk too much!" Chase grunted coldly.He crouched and began to slap the old man in black left and right. The old man's face swelled up, and his nose kept bleeding.Chase was vicious with his moves as every slap tore the old man's face. His bones could be seen through the wounds, and he kept howling in pain."Argh… Please have mercy. Spare my life. If you spare my life, I'll be your servant from now on. I'll do everything you say without complaints…" the old man sobbed and begged for his life pitifully."Tell me the truth," Chase stopped and said coolly."Yes, yes… Ask me anything, master. I'll tell you everything!" The old man quickly banged his head on the ground. He was now servile and had lost all air of a martial arts overlord. He knew that if he did not tell the truth, the young man in front of him would not hesitate to kill him."What other powerhouses are with the Webers?" Chase's eyes narrowed."Umm… I… I don't really
"This is nothing!"Chase smiled condescendingly and raised his hand. His palm was wide open, his fingers curling into a claw. There was a loud bang, and all of the spears were destroyed.A ball of fire burned within Chase's palm. The room instantly went up in flames while thick smoke billowed.It was not long before a muscular middle-aged man with messy hair ran out of there. He was naked from the waist up, and his muscles were thick with veins. He looked like he was about to explode with great power."Who are you? How dare you barge into the Webers' residence?!"Bobby Weber's eyes were shooting flames. He was enraged!He was in charge of the second family of the Weber Secret Sect and was more than 300 years old. He was used to not revealing his emotions, but today, he was so enraged that he could not control his temper.This was a humiliation!An inexperienced greenhorn had managed to barge his way into the Weber residence.“I’m here to take your insignificant life,” Chase sai
Chase stepped forward and grabbed Bobby, lifting him effortlessly off the ground.Bobby's massive frame stood over six feet tall, and his broad build was much larger than the average person's. Yet in Chase's grasp, he looked as helpless as a chick."Who are you..." Bobby coughed and struggled violently. Nonetheless, the harder he fought, the tighter Chase's grip on his neck became.Within moments, Bobby felt as though his lungs might burst."Let... Let me go... I surrender…" Bobby gasped as he pleaded for mercy. He realized he had encountered someone he could not contend with and knew he would die if he did not submit."It's too late."Blood sprayed through the air as Chase showed no mercy, slamming Bobby into the ground with crushing force. A heavy stench of blood filled the area.Chase's expression turned cold, but before he could act further, a furious shout erupted from nearby."You monster! How dare you?!"A young man dressed in ornate robes stormed onto the scene. It was
In the small spiritual field, a few precious herbs were growing."Spirit Berries?"Chase paused briefly before a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Looks like I've stumbled upon an unexpected reward today. These Spirit Berries will do as compensation."He pulled out a dagger, sliced through a berry's skin, and carved out a chunk of ruby-red fruit. It was roughly the size of a baby's fist, and he tossed it into his mouth to chew."Hm? It contains traces of fire-elemental true energy!"His eyes brightened as he considered for a moment before gathering all the berries from the plants, leaving none behind.Chase already possessed many rare treasures—such as pill furnaces and weapons—but lacked fruit-bearing plants with medicinal properties. After reaching his current level, he started cultivating spiritual herbs to grow such plants.The herbs in this spiritual field were precisely what he needed.In addition to the berries, Chase also discovered a martial arts manual titled Fist of
With a furious roar, Bobby swung his iron staff and smashed it down with all his might.The ground split apart violently, revealing a deep and jagged fissure stretching for dozens of feet."Oh? You actually know how to activate the weapon's embedded runes. That's quite rare," Chase remarked with mild interest, scrutinizing the black iron staff.Unlike ordinary weapons, the runes engraved on this staff exuded an eerie and sinister energy. Not to mention, it was faintly tinged with malice."This staff isn't bad. I'll sell it for some money," Chase said with a grin.As his words fell, Chase darted toward Bobby, throwing a punch that ripped through the air with a thunderous boom. The force of his strike was like a falling meteor as it collided with Bobby's chest with overwhelming might.Blood sprayed everywhere as Bobby screamed in agony. His chest caved in, and his body flew backward like a sandbag, crashing to the ground."How is he this strong?" Bobby's eyes widened in disbelief.
Chase shook his head coldly. "Those things are worthless to me.""Then, what do you want?" Bobby asked anxiously.Chase sneered, "I don't want anything because, for you, it's already too late.""What are you going to do?!" Bobby felt a chill run down his spine.Could Chase actually be planning to kill him?Chase did not answer. Instead, he walked forward and stopped next to Bobby. He raised his hand and pressed it onto Bobby's shoulder.Bobby felt as if countless ants were gnawing on his bones. The searing pain made him scream uncontrollably. "Ah! What are you doing?!"His body convulsed as if his bones were being dismantled and reassembled, becoming lighter and more brittle. His body was like a piece of tattered cloth at Chase's mercy.Bobby's screams pierced the air, filled with unbridled agony."I'm an elder of the Webers!" Bobby roared in terror, desperately struggling. "If you kill me, you'll enrage the Webers! You'll die for this! They'll hunt you down, throw you in pris
Agonizing pain surged through Bobby's entire body as his bones, tendons, meridians, and navel region were completely crushed. Even the chair beneath him was shattered into splinters.Bobby lay limp on the ground like a broken doll, barely clinging to life. His once bright eyes were dull and sunken, his pupils unfocused. Dark blood dripped from the corners of his mouth.His body was beyond saving as his meridians and core had been destroyed, leaving him hanging by a thread. "Where has your arrogance gone?" Chase mocked, standing over him while looking down with cold disdain.Bobby coughed violently, forcing a weak laugh through his agony. "Chase… If you kill me, you'll regret it… The Webers will come for you. They'll hunt you down… until there's nothing left of you.""Hunt me down?" Chase chuckled and shook his head.His gaze was icy, dripping with mockery. "I've never seen such a pathetic excuse for a man. But I'll admit, you're quite rich. I didn't expect you to have so many sp
Recently, with the sudden disappearance of the Webers' main branch and the fall of two of their Saints, the conflict between the Salvatores and the Kaydens had escalated beyond reconciliation.Thus, when Chase arrived at their doorstep, Bjorn Kayden, the head of the Kaydens, wasted no time and immediately dispatched his most elite warriors to confront him head-on.Armed only with his sheer strength and will, Chase charged directly into the core of the battlefield, engaging in a brutal clash with the warriors.His fists and kicks moved with the force of a descending god of war. Each strike sent more than a dozen warriors flying as his might was utterly terrifying.Chase moved like the wind, unstoppable and unmatched. He tore through his opponents as if they were nothing, slaughtering dozens in mere moments.These warriors, though numerous, were far weaker than him. No one could withstand his devastating attacks."The Kaydens' guards? Useless! Absolute trash!" Chase sneered as he l
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
The fierce storm-like assault proved effective.The man with small eyes managed to land a few cuts on Chase's skin, leaving faint traces of blood. Delighted, he sneered, "You brat, you've been poisoned! Just accept your fate and die!"Chase let out a low snort.He had allowed the venomous green dagger to graze him intentionally. The blade barely cut through his skin, and after a slight wisp of black smoke, the wounds healed instantly.Earlier, Chase had estimated that the man with small eyes was, at most, a stage-six martial god. Unlike the boorish man from before, his strength seemed to lie in his speed and use of poison.However, after undergoing multiple rounds of body refinement, Chase's physique had become virtually immune to ordinary toxins. This venom was just too weak!Chase shook his head in disappointment.The smirk on the man with small eyes faded as he watched the wounds he inflicted disappear in an instant.That dagger—the Heaven's Poison Dagger—was forged from t
Zacharias sighed as he spoke, his tone laced with regret.Chase furrowed his brows and asked, "Why did they spare the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?""Orin, the Abyssal Ape, Lysand, the Black Monk, and Elijah, the Skinscraper, were all martial cultivators. The Nine-Sea Giant Squid's flesh has immense benefits for body refinement, even for those at the peak of the martial god realm."So, they carved out a small lake here, set up a restrictive formation, and kept it captive. Every 50 years, they would return to harvest its flesh. That's the only reason I've been able to survive."Chase narrowed his eyes. "How long until their next harvest?"Zacharias calculated for a moment before replying, "It should be happening any day now."Chase glanced at the massive squid still writhing in the lake, seemingly not fully dead. He formed a new plan in his mind. The Nefarious Deity Sect practiced body refinement too. Perhaps this thing could serve as some bait?He pondered for a moment before asking, "
A stage-eight martial nirvana beast, clearly one with a physique-focused specialization, yet possessing an innate talent for mind and soul attacks?Chase was momentarily surprised.Then, a smug voice echoed within his sea of consciousness."What a powerful body! This is a heaven-sent opportunity! Finally, I don't have to be trapped in that slimy squid anymore! These past few centuries have been absolutely disgusting!"Hearing this, Chase immediately understood.This was not an innate mind and soul attack from the Nine-Sea Giant Squid; this was the remnant soul of a long-lost great cultivator attempting to seize his body."Who are you?" he asked."Kid, you should be honored! I've chosen you, so just enjoy the ride!"Before Chase could get more answers, the entity launched a full-scale mind and soul assault.A black shadow rampaged through his sea of consciousness, colliding violently and emitting waves of soundless sonic attacks, sending waves of dizziness through Chase's mind.
"Castiel can only rely on his own luck now. Ivana, we should leave," Turk, the white-robed man, sighed."I suppose there's no other choice," Ivana replied, casting one last glance in the direction Chase had flown. There was a hint of reluctance in her expression.In the end, she activated her movement technique and soared away.Turk had been paying close attention to Ivana. When he noticed the lingering look in her eyes as she gazed after Chase, his expression darkened, though his thoughts remained unreadable.Once Ivana had taken flight, Turk flicked his fingers, sending a small black sphere rolling into the cave before he turned and departed.Not long after, Chase reappeared."Interesting," he mused, watching the direction Ivana and Turk had gone. A smirk played on his lips.With his heightened spiritual awareness, his perception far surpassed others of his level. The two stage-three martial god weaklings were nothing to him.After confirming that they had truly left, he step
Four black tentacles shot out from the cave, heading straight for the four of them.The boorish man, still reeling from his earlier clash with Chase, had no time to react before the tentacles wrapped around him. He let out a series of agonized screams as he was dragged into the depths of the cave.The white-robed man and the woman in purple stood farther away and managed to dodge the attack, their figures flashing as they leaped to safety.Chase, however, remained in place, completely entangled by the tentacles.The white-robed man halted, initially showing concern for the boorish man being captured. But upon seeing Chase ensnared as well, his expression shifted to delight. He assumed the beast would eliminate this troublesome opponent for him.Yet despite the tentacles stretching taut, Chase remained utterly unmoved. It was as if he had taken root in the ground.Feeling the strength of the tentacles, he realized they were far more powerful than those that had restrained the boor
What?!Chase felt incredulous.He dodged the attack and retreated about three feet away."What is this?!" Chase asked."Did you release monsters into this cave?" the woman in purple yelled angrily with her sword raised in the air."Monsters?" Chase glanced at the cave entrance in bewilderment. He saw a long, black tentacle appear from the cave as it reached out for the woman."Look out!" The two men behind the woman shouted as they defended her at the same time.Sword stances filled the air as the man in white helped the woman stop the tentacle. The boorish man picked up his blade and leaped into the air. He slashed down the back of the tentacle.Black-colored blood splattered onto a rock. Hissing sounds were heard coming from the plants as holes appeared in them due to the corrosion. There was lethal venom in the monster's blood.Chase was shocked to see this. The wailing he heard must have come from the monster. It looked quite powerful. He felt lucky about not entering the
Chase opened his eyes. His clothes had been wet but were now dry.He channeled his skills, and strength circulated him. He got rid of all impurities and felt invigorated.After that, he stopped using his skills and punched into the air using pure physical strength. He could vaguely hear the sound of a sonic boom.The effects of the Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill on body refinement were not bad at all. He estimated that he could achieve an upper level if he could take another three to five more pills.It seemed like a visit to the Nefarious Deity Sect was now inevitable.Chase turned to leave.Right after leaving, dark smoke began to billow from the middle-aged man's corpse, forming into a man. "Damn it. I can't believe I can only escape using Nefarious Deity Form. But I've managed to obtain your mind and soul's aura. The next time we meet, I'll make sure you'll suffer a fate worse than death. I won't let you die so easily."The man, who was in Nefarious Deity Form, began to glow green
The man was only at stage three, where each punch possessed a weight of 30,000 pounds.Besides that, as the Nefarious Deity Sect's signature fist technique, it possessed the Nefarious Deity Energy. It could invade the opponent's spirit and soul upon contact.It was also the perfect complement to the Nine Mirage Ecstasy.However, Chase seemed completely unaffected. He seemed to have managed to defend himself against that punch.The middle-aged man knew that he had lost all opportunity at survival when he failed to hurt Chase with the punch. He quickly maneuvered to defensive mode. Black smoke billowed from his body and formed into a protective armor around him."Nothing but a party trick!"Chase checked himself for any injuries caused by the man.Thirty thousand pounds worth of strength was nothing but a drizzle to him.As for the Nefarious Deity Energy and harm that came with it, Chase was now able to withstand the evil power after using the Thunderfruit Core to strengthen his
