"Has he achieved the absolute stage?"The Secret Sect's disciples were shocked. The strongest among them was only a stage-seven martial arts overlord. They were walking toward their deaths."Kill me and the Secret Sect won't let you off, Chase Collins!" a Secret Sect disciple declared with clenched teeth."Won't let me off? Do you think the Secret Sect can still send powerhouses to kill me if I kill them first?" Chase grunted coldly. "Now that you've mentioned the Secret Sect, I'd like to see how powerful they really are."He took a step forward and instantly lunged at the crowd with his fists waving. The swiftness of his punches tremored the air.His physique had been pushed to the extreme. Every punch he dealt was like an avalanche. Two Secret Sect's disciples died on the spot. Their heads were removed from the bodies."Run!"The remaining people were scared to their deaths. They did not expect this young man to be so powerful.Chase's left and right arm moved in synchronizat
If they were being unscrupulous, so would Chase. Chase wanted to kill everyone in the Secret Sect and save his sisters.The staff led the way and they quickly headed toward a direction.A few hours later, they stopped moving forward. They saw numerous figures moving about not far away. They looked like people from the Secret Sect."Master, they've noticed us!" The staff looked anxious."There's nothing to panic about." Chase glanced at him. "Stay here and wait for me."With that, Chase moved forward with determined steps."Stop right there!" A muscular man shouted. "This territory belongs to the Secret Sect. All trespassers will be executed!"Six influential families made up the Secret Sect. These families were immensely powerful and mysterious."Get lost!" Chase ignored them and continued walking forward."How dare you?! You're a mere martial monarch ant. How dare you speak to us that way?!" The muscular young man was enraged. "I'm an important disciple of the Secret Sect. My
A young man trembled violently and turned to flee.However, a throwing knife shot through the air just as he began his escape, piercing through his neck.He screamed in agony as he collapsed to the ground. His body was writhing in pain.Moments later, two more flashes of cold light streaked by, severing the heads of two other Secret Sect disciples."How terrifying!"Everyone nearby froze in shock.In mere seconds, three Secret Sect disciples lay dead, killed by none other than a single young man."Run!""He's too powerful! We can't stop him!" The remaining disciples shouted in panic while retreating en masse."Hmph, just a group of rabble," Chase sneered coldly before striding deeper into the Secret Sect's territory.Along the way, every disciple he encountered fell swiftly to his hand. No words were exchanged as he killed them with ease. He was unstoppable in his advance.A short while later, radiant lights illuminated the area. They were dazzling and brilliant.Above the
The scene left the Secret Sect disciples horrified.Who could have imagined that Chase possessed such godlike power? Even the strongest among the Secret Sect could not withstand a single strike from him.What kind of monster was this man, and where did he come from?"Kill him!"Suddenly, a furious roar echoed. A crimson war spear pierced the sky, hurtling toward Chase with lightning speed, closing the distance in an instant."Another insect," Chase said coldly.He raised his hand as he caught the spear mid-flight. His fingers clenched tightly.A surge of overwhelming power poured out, and the spear shattered inch by inch, disintegrating into iron fragments before exploding into dust with a boom!A Secret Sect elder staggered backward, coughing up blood. His face was etched with terror as he stared at Chase, his pupils contracting violently.How could anyone be this strong? It was as if a god or demon had descended upon the earth."This is bad—he's far too powerful!""Retreat
Terrifying figures rushed out from all directions.Among them were high-ranking members of the Secret Sect, elders, and even core disciples. Each was consumed by fury, and their killing intent was surging."Scram!"As the powerful forces of the Secret Sect charged toward him, Chase let out a cold shout and flicked his hand.A brilliant arc of light shot forward like a blade, slashing through the crowd.Screams filled the air. Several arrogant martial monarchs were torn to pieces in an instant."Kill him!"One martial monarch roared and unleashed his martial skills with desperate fury.To Chase, however, their techniques were pitifully weak. With a casual reach, he crushed them effortlessly, obliterating their attacks.Chase moved fluidly, darting left and right. In the blink of an eye, three martial monarchs were shattered into pieces, and their remains were strewn across the ground.It all happened so quickly.In just moments, 12 martial monarchs were reduced to nine corpse
"Me?"Chase gave a cold smile and suddenly pressed his hand onto Elias' shoulder. Instantly, a surge of domineering energy condensed like a towering mountain and crushed down violently.The sound of bones shattering filled the air as Elias' entire arm was pulverized. Overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, he let out a wretched scream."W-Who are you?!" Elias shouted through gritted teeth, trying desperately to endure the agony while channeling his energy to resist the oppressive force."I'm Chase Collins. Today, I'll cleanse this sect and extinguish it!" Chase replied with an icy and grim expression.He raised his other hand, his palm radiating light as strands of energy coalesced to form a thunderous sword form. Its sharp edge seemed capable of cutting through anything.With a sudden motion, Chase swung the sword.The blade descended like a streak of lightning, moving so fast it resembled a meteor streaking across the sky. In an instant, it sliced through Elias' throat."I won'
"So, this formation is a bit clever," Chase remarked while narrowing his eyes and smirking slightly. "But you lot are nothing more than vermin, hiding in this pitiful place, clinging to life. Today, I'll send you all to your graves!"With those words, Chase extended a finger, unleashing a force so powerful it tore through the void like a pillar supporting the heavens. It then descended with unparalleled might.The grand array trembled violently, rippling with energy. A deafening explosion followed, and the formation shattered completely."What?!"Deep within the Secret Sect, the elders widened their eyes in disbelief as their faces twisted in fury and shock. For generations, this formation had stood firm, unshaken even by martial monarchs. Only the ancestors of the Secret Sect had ever been able to manipulate it. Yet now, a young stranger had obliterated it with ease, injuring many of their members in the process."You're courting death!" a white-robed elder roared, leaping into
Chase glanced at him coldly, then casually struck out with a palm. A purple dragon shadow materialized, transforming into a ferocious dragon-headed handprint that obliterated the man on the spot, leaving nothing behind.Gasps of horror rippled through the crowd.The sheer power of the technique was terrifying, like something out of a nightmare. The remaining onlookers trembled uncontrollably, their hair standing on end.This was supposed to be the Secret Sect's strongest defense, yet it had been destroyed effortlessly. At that moment, they fully understood what kind of monstrous enemy they had provoked."My friend, perhaps we can talk this through," came an aged voice that was calm yet deliberate.An elderly woman emerged from the depths of the Secret Sect. Her hair was white, her frame hunched, and she leaned on a cane, appearing frail and close to the end of her days.Despite her unassuming appearance, her slightly clouded eyes radiated wisdom, as though she could see through t
The lion's massive body flew off into the air.Chase lunged forward. His left hand was curved into a claw as he grabbed the lion's head. He pulled hard with his hand despite having a sword in his right.Blood splattered everywhere.Using sheer strength, he separated the lion's head from its body and flung it to the side.This caught the attention of many dark beasts that were martial gods."Huh? This human martial god looks really powerful. If we can get such a young elite to be our servant, we can make use of him for quite a while."Chase's slaughtering had crossed the line of most of these dark beasts.Powerful demon energy immediately burst from every corner of the valley. It gathered within the valley and formed into a dark chain of demon energy that came falling on Chase like a net to kill him.Chase swung the Purple Lightning Blade. The blade's flash exploded to every corner and destroyed the demon energy.There was a sharp look in Chase's eyes as he noticed something st
Chase knew that among all the shadow beasts in the region, these creatures provided the greatest challenge for honing his strength.The more powerful the beast, the stronger its physique, and its blood essence carried immense energy. Consuming it could bring tremendous benefits to a martial god.However, the area where he had just fought was still on the outermost edges of the Forbidden Zone, meaning there were no truly formidable shadow beasts nearby.Another deafening beastly cry shattered the silence, shaking the heavens.A massive shadow loomed over Chase, blocking out the sunlight and forcing him to squint against the darkness.His brows furrowed, and when he looked up, his pupils contracted sharply.A colossal black eagle soared above, its wings flaring like razor-sharp blades, dominating the skies with imperial arrogance.This shadow beast's aura was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary martial god-level beast!It had reached the peak of stage-nine martial god!
"Stay… Stay back!"The white-robed young man was terrified, stumbling backward in panic."What are you all standing there for?! Save me!" He screamed, his voice filled with desperation.Finally snapping out of his daze, the black-robed martial artist lunged at Chase, his palm slicing through the air in a powerful strike. However, he underestimated Chase's strength.With a single impact, the man's entire arm shattered into dust. He let out a miserable scream as his body was sent flying!Chase's attacks were too swift, too fierce. Even with the two of them working together, they could not withstand his power!"Run!"The last remaining martial artist in green robes was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body.He turned to flee without hesitation.Chase chased him down in an instant, delivering a powerful whip-like kick that knocked him unconscious on the spot.Then, he grabbed both lifeless bodies and tossed them into the undergrowth. Only after dealing with them did he
Hearing this, Chase immediately understood the situation. They were trying to rob him!He spread his hands casually. "Oh, that thing? I already ate it."Beside him, Emilia nearly burst out laughing. This guy was too good at bluffing!Chase rolled his eyes. "If you want it so badly, why don't you come take it?""You refuse to cooperate? Fine, I'll make you regret it!" The young man in white robes grew furious, his expression turning ice-cold. "You little bastard! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you practice martial arts! If you don't hand it over, I'll break your damn legs today!""Oh? Is that so?" Chase grinned, showing his teeth. "In that case, why don't we spar a little?""You're asking for death!" The white-robed young man charged at him, his companion following closely behind.A terrifying surge of spiritual energy exploded outward.Chase narrowed his eyes. With one punch, he sent both of them flying backward with a loud bang!"W-What?! This is peak… martial god
The young woman's face flushed red as she hastily pulled her collar together, her wary gaze locked onto Chase."Are you a body-refining martial artist? Attacking me like that was despicable, shameless, and downright vile! I'll kill you to uphold justice!" she shouted indignantly.Chase let out a helpless chuckle. "Miss, I just saved your life, yet instead of thanking me, you call me despicable?"The woman stiffened, her lips parting as if to argue. In the end, however, she lowered her head and muttered an apology, "I lost my composure. Please forgive me."After saying this, she retrieved a dagger from her robe and handed it to Chase. Her expression seemed sincere."My name is Emilia Larsen. This was left to me by my parents. Consider it my way of repaying you for saving my life. I hope you won't refuse it. This dagger is exceptionally sharp—it can slice through iron like it's mud. Keep it safe and don't lose it.""Oh?" Chase raised an eyebrow as he accepted the dagger, examining
The sword shadow was incomparably sharp, moving at blinding speed.Caught off guard, Chase felt a sharp sting as a cut split open his shoulder, sending blood splattering through the air.Pain shot through him. The attack was so fast that he could not even see who had launched it.At that moment, Chase clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze cold and indifferent. Then, he raised a hand and flicked his fingers.A purple-gold flame ignited!The fire landed directly on the white sword shadow. In an instant, it was engulfed in roaring flames, disintegrating into ashes within seconds!"What?!" A shocked gasp echoed from the darkness.Chase sneered, his figure flickering forward like lightning. With a swift kick, he sent the hidden figure sprawling to the ground."Who are you?" A woman's voice shouted in both fear and disbelief from the darkness."You tried to ambush me?" Chase looked down at her, his expression unreadable."H-How did you know?"The figure gasped, her hands fly
In an instant, Chase transformed into an unrivaled demon lord, his mere gestures capable of shattering the void!One by one, the beasts collapsed, all falling beneath Chase's iron fists. Their bodies were reduced to pulp as they died in pools of blood!"T-This… This is insane! Just two punches and he slaughtered eight Ghost Boar monarchs and a tiger-like creature!"A young martial artist watching from a distance was completely dumbfounded. His jaw was hanging open, and he nearly swallowed his own tongue. He had never seen anything so brutal!These were Ghost Boar monarchs, each as powerful as a ferocious beast, yet not a single one could withstand even a single punch. Their skulls were shattered in an instant, with blood spraying in every direction.Chase was not human. He was like a rampaging beast from an ancient wilderness, overflowing with sheer brutality.In the end, only one Ghost Boar monarch remained, the one whose spine Chase had crushed with a single stomp.It lay dyin
The remaining beasts froze in place, their eyes wide with horror. They simply could not comprehend how a frail-looking human could possess such overwhelming strength. The scene before them shattered their understanding of reality."You fools! What are you standing around for? Get over here!"Chase's thunderous voice echoed, filled with unmatched dominance and ruthlessness.One of the Ghost Boar monarchs let out an enraged howl before charging straight at him.The remaining dozen or so followed close behind, snarling viciously as they stormed forward. To them, Chase was nothing more than prey!"You want to die?" A cold glint flashed in Chase's eyes, his killing intent surging.He said nothing more. His figure vanished in a blur as he shot forward like lightning while his fist swung down with devastating force!The first charging Ghost Boar monarch was sent flying, its body instantly flattening as blood splattered across the ground.Without pausing, Chase stepped forward and smas
Despite his recent breakthrough, Chase's attention was drawn elsewhere. He was more concerned that the corpse of the massive Ghost Boar had been completely devoured!Not just that, but three other Ghost Boar carcasses nearby had also been torn apart, likely taken down by someone else."Since I'm already here in this valley, I might as well take a look."Muttering to himself, Chase's figure flickered, and he rushed down from the hilltop in the next instant.One of the remaining Ghost Boars let out a violent roar the moment Chase appeared.His expression remained calm. With a swift motion, he swung his fist downward.A deep, muffled impact echoed.The Ghost Boar staggered backward with blood seeping from its mouth!Enraged, the Ghost Boar howled and charged straight at Chase, aiming to ram into him with its massive bulk.Chase's eyebrow twitched as he effortlessly dodged aside.Then, in one fluid motion, he leaped onto the boar's back, grabbing a fistful of its bristly mane bef
