The martial arts core continued expanding at such a great speed that Chase's physique was finding it a little difficult to assimilate to the rapid change."This can't continue. I'll end up bursting!"The look on Chase's face changed."Forget about it. I'll risk it!"Chase clenched his teeth and channeled whatever remained of his true energy toward his martial arts core. The expanding core instantly decreased its expanding speed.A few thin cracks appeared on the martial arts core. It was about to break because it could not withstand such huge pressure."Oh no!" Chase was shocked.There was no time for him to think at such a crucial moment. He forced his martial arts core to continue expanding.His martial arts core broke and turned into flashes of bright lights that were seen everywhere.Meanwhile, Chase's martial arts core had turned back into the size of a fist. It was glowing with silver light."I've finally become a martial monarch!"Chase was excited.However, he frown
This was quite incredulous."Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my home?" Chase asked with a frown. However, both guards did not reply. Instead, they raised their hands simultaneously to swing their swords down at Chase. A sharp sword aura instantly shot out and tore through the air."Huh?"Chase focused. He reached out his right hand and flicked with his index finger. True energy struck the sword aura.The sword aura exploded and fell to the ground in pieces.Chase's expression changed. "That's really powerful true energy."Even though he had just achieved a breakthrough, Chase did manage to cultivate the very powerful Seven Swords of Sosa. It should be no surprise that he was able to break the guards' move."Hmph!" Chase sneered. If these people dared to give him trouble, he would not hold himself back.It happened in an instant. Chase stepped forward and appeared in front of them almost immediately. His feet hit the air with great gusto, causing whistling in the air.
Both men knelt before Chase to express their gratitude.However, Chase suddenly turned to them and raised his hand. Wind suddenly galed around them.There were muffled grunts, and a bloody mark appeared on the guards' necks. The next moment, their heads rolled to the ground. They were dead."What a joke. Did you really think I'd spare your lives? Hoda Welch! How dare you send people to take my life when I haven't even approached you?" Chase sneered.He was not a bloodthirsty man. After all, he had witnessed too many killings and slaughters.In all that he had experienced, most of those doing the killing abused their power when in big groups and bullied those who were weaker. They were despicable garbage who forced the weak into submission. They were not good enough to be his enemies."Do you think I'd let you get away scot-free to enjoy the luxurious life given by the Welches?" There was coldness in Chase's eyes. He stepped into the garden and said quietly to himself, "The Welc
However, just as he reached out, Chase suddenly lifted his finger and flicked toward the man's hand.The sound of bone cracking was heard. His arms fell limp to the side as his wrist became dislocated. This sight scared the man in the robe tremendously.Even though he did not attack with full strength, he did exert 70% of his powers. Even so, he could not defend himself against one flick from Chase."Who is that man?"The man in the robe felt a chill down his spine and chose to retreat without hesitation.Chase's arm formed into a whip as he hit the man viciously on the shoulder. The crisp sound of bone cracking filled the night sky. His right shoulder bone cracked and exploded. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere.The man screamed. He held his wound and tried to escape while holding back the pain. He ran ten yards in an instant."Huh?" Chase was slightly taken aback. He did not expect the man to be this decisive."It's no wonder he could become a death soldier of an influent
The long spear was forged out of bronze, and it glinted with a chilling light. The spear was covered with mysterious marks and seemed to be of ancient origin."The Slayer's Spear?"Chase glanced at the spear and sneered, "Do you think you can hurt me with your spear technique? Dream on!""How insolent!"Chase sniggered."Go back to where you came from!"He moved forward and grabbed the Slayer's Spear with an iron grip. Chase gripped it with great force.The assassin howled in pain and began struggling like a snake in pain."How is this possible?" There was a look of shock on the assassin's face as his eyes widened.Chase's palm was like steel. It was extremely strong and destroyed all hopes of escape. The assassin's spiritual weapon was stopped purely by Chase's strong physique."You… Damn it!" The assassin roared shrilly. "I'll take you down with me!"There was a hoarse roar. True energy filled the assassin, and he suddenly exploded like a volcano. Everything happened so fa
Chase stomped the ground right after announcing that.The foundation of the house immediately began trembling violently. Numerous stones and sand began falling.Chase stepped into the house with quick agility and appeared instantly in front of the assassin. He used his palm like a knife and hit the assassin right on the head. The assassin was sliced into two.There was a flash of sword light, and another person suffered a horrible death. It took only a short while for Chase to kill two other peak martial arts overlords.Every move Chase made was unpredictable, and all of them were extremely exquisite. Each of them possessed a unique rhythm that displayed a hidden special technique that caught his opponents by surprise.Chase was in a good mood.Even though his enemies were at the same cultivation level as he was and had their unique fighting styles, there were still minor gaps between them. This was also considering that his opponents were proficient in certain combat methods.T
These assassins appeared with furious and vicious looks on their faces. They were deeply cautious at the same time. It was because they could sense that Chase's cultivation was only at martial arts monarch.How did a mere martial arts monarch manage to discover them? This was an incredulous situation.However, the assassins quickly let it go. They made a direct attack as they lunged toward Chase for the kill. All of their eyes glinted with bloodshot glee in anticipation of the violence."Nothing but a bunch of ants."Chase smiled tauntingly and lifted his hand as a mark appeared in the air. He opened his hand and made a grabbing gesture at the group of assassins in black. There was a sudden violent tremor in the air.This was followed by several explosions, and the assassins in black flew off as they screamed. They coughed up blood, and their faces were pale. Their auras weakened considerably.The next second, Chase glared at them with a sharp look akin to a powerful divine sword
The assassin got even madder at Chase's words. He kept spitting blood while dancing about with his short blade and dark dagger. He rushed toward Chase, launching an attack. He made three attacks at Chase, but they were all blocked.With every move he made at Chase, the assassin could feel his palm hurt as if it had just been hit by iron. It was intensely painful, and he was shocked by the experience. "Who exactly is this man? He's no less powerful than I am. His agility and strength are also more powerful than mine! I need to get away from here no matter what."The assassin was determined as he made his next move. He flew forward in the direction of escape.Chase narrowed his eyes and leaped as he went after the assassin. This man had to die for what he did, regardless of whether it was because he had been spying on Chase in the dark and looking for a chance to ambush Chase or his attempts at assassinating Chase."There's no escape!" Chase roared and channeled his true energy.
"That's right! Kill him!"The remaining warriors gritted their teeth, their faces twisting with rage as they spread out and surrounded Chase.Although they were wary of Chase's strength, there was not a trace of fear in their expressions."I don't enjoy killing unnecessarily," Chase said calmly as his gaze swept across the group. "If you leave now, I promise not to harm any of you.""Stop wasting your breath!" the bearded man roared. Brandishing a long blade, he charged at Chase. "Kill him! Kill this beast!"In an instant, icy flashes of blade light sliced toward Chase.These attackers, all at the mid-stage of martial god, unleashed their sharpest attacks without hesitation. Each move was deadly and decisive, aiming to give Chase no chance to retaliate.However, Chase simply raised his palm and struck. With each punch, he unleashed an overwhelming force that shattered all the incoming blades of light.The last attacker was blasted into the air, coughing up a mouthful of blood b
'This place must have more monsters. I'll return later to collect them. If other warriors grab the spoils, it'll be a huge loss,' Chase thought to himself.He stood up, his gaze sweeping across the distant warriors. "Scram," he said coldly.At that moment, the sound of rushing wind echoed in the distance. Eight warriors dashed forward at incredible speed, landing near Chase in the blink of an eye.These eight individuals were all martial gods, and among them were two particularly powerful elders who had already reached the mid-stage of martial god.The two leading figures radiated the most imposing aura. One wore a purple crown while the other had a thick beard and piercing, sinister eyes."Where's Lysander? What happened to him?" the bearded man demanded."He's dead," Chase replied indifferently."What?! Who dares to kill him?!" The bearded man erupted in rage, his eyes burning with fury as he glared at Chase.The other warriors were equally shocked. Lysander, an early-stage m
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
