Chase's eyes widened. From the looks of that move, that man was at least a martial deity."You're pretty brazen," the man in the green robes said coolly.Martial deities were at the peak of Innate State. He had to be more than a hundred years old.Ordinary martial deities usually cultivated in isolation. They would rarely take any risk by stepping into the forbidden lands of the Voodoo Cult. After all, there was too much danger in the Voodoo Cult. One might end up dead if they were not careful."I came in here by accident. I'm not here to rob anyone of any treasures," Chase said."Came in here by accident?" The man in the green robe smiled. "The Voodoo Cult's forbidden land is surrounded by spies from powerful parties. Isn't it too much of a coincidence that you just happen to be here by accident?"Besides, most of the Voodoo Cult are gone. They're either seriously injured or dead. You don't need to give any excuses here."Chase's expression changed when he heard that."I don't
"You're Chase Collins?" The green-robed martial deity suddenly looked at the fallen Chase.He seemed to remember something. Doubt and contemplation could be seen in his eyes."It's coming back to me. I know who you are now. Your parents were involved in a feud with the Voodoo Cult for some reason."He spoke out loud.Chase's body quivered violently, and he clenched his fists tightly. His fingers dug into this palm, causing it to bleed. However, he did not feel it at all."I can't believe those two nobodies back then could give birth to something like you. If you weren't a Collins, you would've become an elder of the Voodoo Cult with talent like yours."The green-robed martial deity sighed and shook his head. "What a pity."His words hit a nerve, and Chase suddenly opened his eyes. "Don't hate me. If you need to blame someone, blame yourself for being born into the Collinses. The more talented you are, the more potential for you to be more powerful in the future."With that, t
"Hoho! You love using blades, don't you? I'll give you a weapon this time, then."The old man waved his arm, and silver beads began clacking around his wrist.The crisp sound of the bells echoed everywhere, and it was soon heard all over the square."What a powerful attack!" Chase's heart sank.He could sense numerous shadows appear from all over like an army with thousands of soldiers that came attacking. This was the martial deity's Spirit Mystical Attack!"Get lost!" Chase roared angrily.A ball of flame shot out from his mouth to burn the spirits in attack.Chase felt his head about to explode when their spirits collided. His spirit's sea of consciousness had been seriously wounded, and blood dripped from his mouth.That attack had seriously injured his spirit!"Huh?"The green-robed martial deity was a little surprised at Chase's condition. It was obvious that the effect of this attack was not to his liking. He was unable to render Chase too weak to retaliate."Looks li
"Ah! Impossible! What kind of monstrous strength is this?" The green-robed martial deity was utterly horrified.He realized, to his shock, that Chase's arms contained an almost unimaginable force. The power was beyond reason, as if he were an unstoppable beast pulling a cart with overwhelming might.The martial deity's body twisted violently as he tried to retrieve his spear, but Chase's grip was like an immovable nail. He could not break free no matter how hard he struggled.Chase swung the martial deity like a rag doll, slamming him into the ground repeatedly while leaving trails of dust behind."Argh! Are you insane?!" the martial deity screamed in agony as his face flushed with humiliation.For a martial deity of his stature, being tossed around like this was the ultimate disgrace."You wretched brat! How dare you humiliate me? You're courting death!"Suddenly, the martial deity's eyes turned cold, and a vast wave of spiritual energy burst from his body. At the same time, a
"Let's join forces and take him down!" shouted the three remaining guards. Each of them was a peak martial arts overlord, and their combined strength rivaled that of a stage-three martial monarch."Martial arts overlord-level techniques?" Chase scoffed. With a flick of his finger, he effortlessly disrupted their attacks. Then, he unleashed his Dragon Elephant Dominance Fist, overwhelming them with sheer power.The force of his punches reverberated through the air like thunder, shaking the very fabric of reality and striking fear into their souls."We can't win—retreat!" one of the guards yelled in panic.Chase was relentless, closing the distance with a single step and delivering a powerful palm strike. The impact sent the three flying, and they crashed to the ground in a disheveled, pitiful state."I told you—I'm here for vengeance!" Chase declared."I'll make sure you die!"In a flash, Chase crossed hundreds of feet and closed in on the green-robed martial deity once more.Bl
Chase was caught off guard by the sudden development. His pupils narrowed as he quickly turned his head."Who are you people?" he demanded in a deep voice.Moments ago, he had not sensed anyone approaching, and now, these figures stood so close without stirring a single ripple of energy. That alone told him these were martial monarch-level experts.A calm chuckle broke the tense silence."Young friend, no need to be alarmed. We're Enshrined martial monarchs of the Secret Sect. Our mission was to protect you from the shadows. To our surprise, your strength is extraordinary. You're capable of even defeating a stage-five martial monarch. Admirable, truly admirable."Another Enshrined spoke, his tone carrying a mixture of flattery and caution."But a stage-five martial monarch remains formidable despite injuries. Few can stand against such power. That's why we couldn't resist stepping in to assist.""If you came to help, then why are you still here?" Chase asked with a frown.The f
"No worries, Myra. A mere Poison Pill is nothing. I've already figured out a solution," Chase said calmly."What? You…" Myra's eyes widened in disbelief. She was utterly shocked at Chase's claim of resolving such a perilous issue.Chase ignored her astonishment.At that moment, he raised his palm and activated his technique. Immediately, a surge of overwhelming energy erupted from his body, radiating like a blazing purple sun that illuminated the surroundings."This aura…""It's impossible…""This boy is a martial monarch-level expert!"The two martial monarchs from the Secret Sect were dumbstruck.They had assumed Chase's age to be no more than 18. However, his youth belied his extraordinary power, which far surpassed that of ordinary martial monarchs.Even more surprising was the woman standing beside him. Her silent presence alone radiated a unique brilliance that left them in awe. Such prodigies were exceedingly rare, even within the Secret Sect.However, Chase was far fr
"Let me test if I can channel my spiritual power into it," Chase stated calmly.Soul force was the core strength of martial cultivation."No! If anything goes wrong, it could bring you severe harm!" the two martial monarchs quickly objected while shaking their heads. They had no intention of allowing Chase to risk himself."Relax. I'll be fine. It'll only take an instant, and if I sense anything amiss, I'll retreat immediately," Chase reassured them with a faint smile.Although his soul force was not particularly strong—barely enough to condense a single strand of soul sword energy—his resilient physique was powerful enough to handle its destructive potential.As long as he maintained control, Chase could detonate the soul sword energy at will, obliterating any threats to Myra."If you insist, then try it," one of the martial monarchs sighed while reluctantly nodding.With that, Chase stomped the ground and leaped into the air. His fists came together, encircled by faint white f
Meanwhile, Timor began using mystical techniques. He vanished from where he stood like a ghost."That's nothing. I'll take you down!" Chase grunted coldly and flicked out a thread of energy from his left hand.The next second, Chase's energy shot precisely at the silver-white long spear. A loud ringing was heard, and the strong impact knocked the spear in another direction. It brushed Chase right past his shoulder."That's really fast!" Tibor frowned and vanished once again. He appeared silently near Chase.Tibor attacked with his spear again. It aimed right at Chase's chest with a terrifying power.He was not as powerful as Abel was, but he was better at hiding himself and moved very fast. His attacks were precise and powerful. Once someone was hit by him, that person would be seriously wounded.However, the most shocking thing was Chase's quick reaction. No one expected that he could kick the spear and stop it in midair."Oh no!" Tibor's expression changed. He did not expect C
Daley's body sunk to the bottom of the lake not long after, and he disappeared. The lake had taken him, and no trace of his body was found."Is he dead?" Myra asked worriedly."He's dead," Chase replied coolly."Dead…" Myra was relieved to hear that. "Thank you for saving me, Chase.""It's nothing." Chase nodded at her.While they were speaking, she suddenly noticed the red, translucent spiritual fruit in Chase's hand. She could not help glancing at it several times."What's that fruit in your hand? It's really pretty." Myra blinked.Chase smiled and replied, "This is the Red Cloud Fruit.""Red Cloud Fruit?!" Myra's eyes widened. She was surprised.Red Cloud Fruits were renowned for their valuable healing properties."No wonder you were able to defeat him so easily. You have something so valuable with you. I'm so envious," Myra said with astonishment.Chase shook his head nonchalantly. He said, "Anyone could've defeated him if they worked hard enough."Myra took a few dee
A hand suddenly pressed down on Daley's shoulder, stopping him from biting the spiritual fruit."Huh? Who are you?" Daley's eyes narrowed as he stared at Chase."Chase Collins," Chase spouted the words.Daley's expression changed when he heard Chase's name."You're Chase Collins!" he burst out shouting. There was fear and shock in his eyes."That's right. It's me." Chase nodded."Oh no!" Daley began to lament silently. He had no idea that the ferocious, domineering man was here.He quietly called Myra a jinx.If he had known Chase was here, he would never set his eyes on the Red Cloud Fruit. Now, he had ended up in the hands of this monster.Daley trembled, his forehead covered in sweat."Well, um… Chase, it was wrong of me to offend you. Please show mercy this time. You can have these spiritual herbs as compensation." He quickly stuffed several spiritual herbs into Chase's hands.Chase shook his head to reject them. "I don't lack spiritual herbs.""But…" Daley was almost c
Myra's cultivation was lower than the man's. Even though she was able to achieve a breakthrough to stage one martial monarch because of the martial monarch pill, she was still not his match and was about to be defeated."Haha! Your cultivation level is garbage, Myra Kollins! How dare you fight me with such lousy abilities? Die!"The muscular young man punched Myra in the chest. She screamed in pain and flew off from the impact."Myra!"The others were shocked by the sight.Before anyone could save her, a long, black spear whistled through the air. It appeared out of thin air and was aimed right at them. The sharp head of the spear ran through the abdomen of a martial artist.His eyes widened with disbelief. After that, his body fell hard onto the ground."Damn it!"The few left behind became fearful and they turned to run. However, they could not escape. The spear came after them and stabbed all of them. They were all dead.Chase put the black spear away and sensed around with
Chase's physique was at his optimal strength. He combined his strength with the use of his Sword Technique's true energy. He could defeat any stage-one or stage-two martial monarchs even if he were not a martial monarch, much less these martial artists who were not his match.He slaughtered most of them almost right away."T-That's just too powerful!""He's a stage-seven martial monarch. Something isn't right. This must be a trap. We should run!"Most of the martial artists were scared to death as they quickly escaped.Chase shook his head. "Stop wasting your time. I've set up an Enchantment Formation. You won't be able to escape unless you're a martial deity."All of the martial artists turned pale when they heard him.A smile appeared on Chase's face as he slowly went over to them.He held a spiritual herb in his hand.Chase plucked another spiritual herb and gave it to Myra. "Keep this, Myra."Chase smiled gently at her. "Take it. It'll help you become a martial monarch an
At stage seven of martial monarch, Chase's strength was immense. His body was incredibly resilient and impervious to blades and spears."Huh? Why is someone here?"Suddenly, the sound of voices came from the distance.Chase turned toward the commotion and saw three young martial artists emerging from the forest."It's them!""They look like Secret Sect members!""Damn it! I heard screams earlier and thought something serious had happened."The three youths spotted four black-clad men tied up tightly and lying in a pit beneath a tree. Their eyes widened in shock."Who are they? Why did they tie up our brothers?" one of them whispered."Who cares?! Anyone bold enough to kidnap Secret Sect disciples must be tired of living!""Haha, exactly! Let's deal with him first and ask questions later!""Killing someone means paying with your life, and debts must be repaid. If he dares to commit a crime, he should face the consequences!"The youths exchanged words with themselves, and the
It turned out that the man in black was none other than Chase in disguise.At this moment, his face was pale, and his forehead was drenched in cold sweat. His heart pounded wildly as he gasped for air. His expression was one of shock and disbelief."How did you know it was a fake?" Chase demanded as he stared intently at the other man.He was not lying. The man in black had indeed been a guise he created. With spiritual power far exceeding that of a stage-one martial monarch, mimicking such a disguise was effortless for him.One might wonder why he did not use his real identity token. Chase smiled faintly at this. Revealing his true identity was simply out of the question."My name is Huckle Weber, an outer sect enforcer of the Secret Sect," the man replied coldly. "You committed a grave sin by killing your sect brothers tonight. You won't escape this. Come with me now.""An outer sect enforcer of the Secret Sect?" Chase's eyes flickered as his mind raced. Suddenly, he asked,
At that moment, Chase's speed surged dramatically. He grabbed one of the Secret Sect's disciples by the head and twisted forcefully. A sickening crack echoed as the skull shattered, spraying blood everywhere.The other man in black was stunned. He had never imagined that this seemingly frail young man possessed such terrifying physical strength.Chase turned and slapped the man across the face. The strike twisted his entire face, causing blood to gush from his nose as teeth mixed with blood spilled from his mouth.Chase's expression remained cold.These two were nothing more than insignificant pests to him. In the past, he would not have needed to exert the slightest effort to crush them easily.Still, these Secret Sect disciples were at stage nine of martial monarch, so Chase stayed cautious."It's time to end this," he declared.As he spoke, an overwhelming pressure descended like a mountain, suffocating the man in black and reddening his face."W-Who are you?" the man stamme
Yet somehow, this guy endured the attack!"Could he be carrying some kind of treasure?" The man in black's eyes lit up at the thought. He burst into laughter and declared, "Hand over the treasure, and I'll spare your life!"Chase shook his head coldly. "You think you're worthy of owning my possessions?""You arrogant fool! Die!"As soon as the words left his mouth, the man in black leaped into the air, swinging his long blade with ferocious precision. A faint purple hue emanated from the blade. It was clearly a profound-grade martial technique.The blade's light wreaked havoc.Chase stood motionless as he raised his right hand. His fingernails extended, transforming into fierce, razor-sharp claws. A series of deafening clashes echoed through the air.Chase's fingertips deflected 18 consecutive strikes without sustaining a scratch."How is this possible?" The man in black's pupils shrank, and a deep sense of fear filled his heart. The guy's claws were as unyielding as magical ar
