Chase roared at the sky, and it echoed for several miles.He leaped into the air and swung his arm, crushing a man-made hill next to him. It then collapsed into pieces."How powerful!" Chase was delighted.He had a feeling he could easily crush a huge piece of wood in his hand right now."The power of a stage three martial monarch is strong, indeed," Chase muttered. He had absolute confidence right now that he could kill garbage like Jaden with one punch."Huh?"Chase looked up all of a sudden and frowned slightly. "Why are there people here?"He could see two figures coming toward him in the dark. They were coming closer to where he was."That's quick of them." Chase narrowed his eyes. He did not hide away but went up to them instead."You're being rash with this, young friend," one of the men said in a low voice. "The Larsens are a big family, and you've angered their patriarch and many of their elders. You're in deep trouble.""Oh?" Chase could no longer hold back when he
There was a loud bang when the palm hit Chase and he fell hard to the ground. Blood dripped from his mouth."That's a powerful palm attack!"Chase's eyes widened slightly, and his heart beat fast. He almost died from that attack. Fortunately, Chase had used his steel physique to block the attack at the crucial moment.Otherwise, he would not have been able to take the attack with his current cultivation level. He would have ended up seriously wounded.Chase clenched his teeth. His body hurt immensely. The power of that palm attack might have been softened by his shield, but it was still enough to hurt his internal organs and make his energy and blood boil."That attacker was really powerful. Could he be a powerhouse?"Chase was quietly astonished. However, he was not afraid. He had just achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, after all. Moreover, his cultivation was at its peak as his power had increased tremendously.Myra's petite body trembled when she saw Chase fall to th
If Myra refused to say anything, Chase would ask her about it after they took care of this troublesome group.Swords clashed, and they were the only things that could be seen during the fight.Myra was quite formidable, but even she could not fight so many guards. There were too many of them; even the weakest was a stage-three martial artist."Why are you choosing the hard way, Myra? Do you think you can defeat so many of us?""Haha! I heard that you're a talented genius, Myra Kollins, but you don't really seem like it. How dare you go against the Larsens? You're asking for it!""Hehe! How about having a wedding? Marry me and we can live together as husband and wife. Doesn't that sound great?""Hoho! Why are you wasting time talking to a cheap thing like her, Mr. Jove? She's asking to be punished. Let's take turns enjoying her later. We'll make sure that she can't have enough of us later. Hahaha!"Myra's pretty face turned grim. She was furious. How dare those damned things insu
Jove's eyes widened from extreme shock. He had seen everything Chase could do and was stunned.Jove knew very well that this fight had to end soon. If that elder of his returned, things could take a worse turn.Jove used his most powerful technique and channeled the thick true energy within him crazily. He condensed the energy in this fist and punched it hard at Chase's sword.There was a violent clang. It hurt Chase's hand so much that he almost released his sword."This must be how powerful a stage-nine martial arts overlord is." Chase's eyes narrowed upon experiencing the powerful strength. "This is good timing. It's a good opportunity to practice my new cultivation level."Stage nine martial arts overlord!That was equivalent to peak martial arts overlord.Only two people among the younger generation had been able to achieve stage nine martial arts overlord. Jove had not let down his status as Saint."Kill him!"The remaining three guards were gleeful to see Chase suppress
"Thunder Flame!" Chase growled.Balls of purple fire began gathering from all around, fusing into the vines. Numerous vines began burning furiously. They cackled from the flame and slithered like pythons toward the guards who were trying to escape."No! Save me!""Please! I don't want to die…"Their desperate screams echoed throughout the forest and mountains.It was soon before peace and quiet returned. There was nothing left of the place besides a pile of burnt corpses. All of the guards sent out by the Larsens were dead.Chase was the only one left, and his clothes were white as snow. He stepped forward slowly toward three corpses and lit them on fire.The next moment, flames surged into the air as they cackled furiously. All three guards' corpses vanished quickly in the sea of flames before turning to dust."Not bad. Not bad at all."There was a bright glint in Chase's eye.The three guards had used joint attack martial arts and were quite powerful. Even though they were
At this thought, a glint appeared in the old man's eye. He took out an emerald slip and said with clenched teeth, "Just you with, you little bastard. I've recorded your face. All I need to do is to break this emerald slip and someone will arrive to save me."It was not long after he made his announcement that the old man crushed the slip.Something happened next.A soft golden light began to spread out. Everything that happened there began to reflect in the emerald slip."Huh? What's that?"Chase noticed the slip and was curious about it. He immediately saw everything playing inside the slip. He saw himself standing in the mountains."Interesting. Looks like this person isn't giving up," Chase sneered.Such a trick could work on a martial arts overlord, but it was just a party trick when it came to Chase. However, this had piqued his interest.Chase decided to use this opportunity to test how powerful he was right now. He also wanted to find out the standard of this place.Thi
"How did this…"The old man was shocked. He was a martial arts overlord! His physique was solid. How could he be hurt by a greenhorn?"Again!"There was a chilling look in Chase's eye. He waved his left hand, and the sword flash in his palm burst out instantly for the kill.This time, he used a sword-fighting technique that was profound-grade superior quality. He gathered the sword flash into a sword aura to attack his opponents. The power was formidable. Anyone who got hit would die instantly.There was a muffled explosion. Chase's sword-fighting technique had been blocked.A treasure that looked like a shield was in front of the old man. It had stopped the sword aura and saved him from the lethal attack. However, he still flew several yards back from the impact."Oh no! He's too powerful. I'm not his match!" The old man was scared silly and turned to run. He had no plans of continuing to fight. He had seen the brilliant flash of light blade that shone bright like the stars in
How could such power be a match for a stage-nine martial arts overlord like him?"Damn it!"The Black-Robed Demon cursed. He did not want to continue fighting Chase. A thick gray fog began to emanate from him.Boom!The fog spread out and covered hundreds of yards from where they were. It concealed everything from sight, and Chase's senses slowed down. It felt like he had sunk into a swamp, and it got more difficult to channel his skills.Chase was on the losing end in such a circumstance. The Black-Robed Demon had an absolute advantage. He attacked savagely and forced Chase into retreat."This guy knows how to use poison?!" Chase clenched his teeth.Chase possessed various martial arts techniques and mystical guides and had always thought of himself as knowledgeable, but the techniques the Black-Robed Demon used were all unfamiliar to him. He did not even remember learning about them."Hmph! You're nothing but an ant. You know nothing about the Path of the Venom!" The Black-Ro
"What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the
Chase was the only person qualified to judge if there was murderous intent as he was the opponent in the arena.When Yara played the flute, it sounded like a beautiful melody from above the Ninth Heaven at first. If one listened closely, one could identify the vague signs of murderous intent.Chase scoffed at this. He thought it to be childish for one to hide murderous intent that way.He did not know music at all, but even he could tell what Yara was doing. Yara was looking down on him by doing this.When Chase was about to make his move, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the opponent. Chase was on a floating cloud above the Ninth Heaven in the illusion. It was just as Carla had said.He was initially flustered. How was he going to defend himself against the next killing move with such a powerful technique?While he was gathering all the vital energy within him, a sweet, melodious voice was heard. "Please don't retaliate, Mr. Collins. I bear no ill will."A tall, slen
"History scrolls don't really help with my cultivation. They make me drowsy every time, so I don't read them," Ford continued explaining without holding back. It did not seem wrong to him.However, his words made an impression on those listening.Ford was able to pick up the dragon clan's mystical techniques after reading them once. He even claimed it was not necessary to read them a second time. Was he even human? Oh, wait. He was a dragon. Tiana stared at him, not knowing what to say next.The Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land had not only fought with her talents yesterday but also with her hard work.When Tiana first entered Emerald Lake Holy Land, her master told her that her talents were upper-middle at best. She was considered extremely lucky to be accepted to the sect.Emerald Lake Holy Land was one of the top five sects in this world. It was second only to Sky Dragon Holy Land among the Four Holy Lands. Every disciple was the cream of the crop.Tiana grabbed attention t
Yara placed his flute to his lips and warned Chase, "I'll be making my move, Mr. Collins.""Please go ahead." Chase waved his hand casually and indicated for Yara to go ahead.It was the third round, and everyone at this stage was not to be underestimated. A powerhouse with a musical instrument for a weapon was rare. Chase looked forward to exchanging hands with him.The melodious sound of the flute was soon heard. All of the spectators could feel the atmosphere become more relaxed."Why is this Musical Technique non-lethal?""This can't be right. How did Yara Fries get into the third round? There's nothing formidable about this piece of music.""Is there anyone here who can explain?""He used his flute as a weapon in the previous rounds and knocked out his opponents with a couple of moves. He didn't play any music then.""Is he giving leeway to the opponent?""Could he be hinting at the opponent with his music that they're soulmates? They might end up being taken with each oth
As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni
Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b
"Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he
Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c
Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik
