"Let's go!"The bearded man stood up with difficulty while glaring fiercely at Chase. "Mark my words! This grudge between us isn't settled. I won't let you off!"With those words, the group of seven quickly retreated while supporting the bearded man. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from view.…"Did something happen here?" A while later, the sound of footsteps echoed nearby.Two young men in green robes approached, and as they took in the scene before them, their expressions froze in shock."What's going on here? I can see signs of battle. Could it be that powerful warriors were fighting here?" one of the youths asked, feeling perplexed."Wait, I smell blood! Could it be that someone was killed in a fight here?" the other exclaimed in alarm.Following the scent of blood, the two came across the bodies of several fallen guards lying on the ground. Among them, the bearded man was now barely clinging to life."It's him!"The two youths recognized the bearded man instant
"Listen up! I won't destroy my skills because lowlives like you aren't good enough to be my enemies!""What arrogance!"A powerful negative energy exploded from the young man in black."Don't you know anyone who said that died in the end?"The young man in black waved his hand, and a black saber appeared out of thin air. It glinted with a chilling flash."A precious weapon!"Chase's eyes brightened. He had heard someone talk about the treasure vault of the Nefarious Deity Sect. This weapon seemed to have been taken from there."Die!" the young man roared, and the black saber slashed down the air.A vast sword flash shone with brilliance and came down at Chase like a raging storm that wanted to crush Chase to pieces."You're a mere martial god ant. How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?"Chase grunted coldly. He swept the red battle spear in his hand across at his opponent.There was a series of explosions that caused tremors everywhere. The sword flash vanished and f
A smile broke out on Chase's face. Such a quality pill made a huge difference in the attack skills of early-stage martial gods. It could even help a mid-stage martial god temporarily recover peak form.There might be some spiritual herbs in the vault of the Nefarious Deity Sect that were extraordinary, and Chase could not afford any of them with his current wealth. Besides that, he had to buy a set of suitable guides to further solidify his martial arts skills.Chase mumbled to himself, "I have to get a pill that can overhaul my bones and veins to improve my physique and make it go through a rebirth before I can continue enhancing my level."He thought about this."Die, you thief!"A roar was suddenly heard behind him.Someone in a green shirt came running toward Chase.It was a young man who did not expect Chase to move so fast. Chase lost him in the blink of an eye, and this angered the young man in the green shirt. "You won't escape me!"There was a sound of something flying
"Who did this?!" Doug looked around angrily.Chase stood up and glanced at Doug. He saw that Doug was only a stage-one martial god."Did you do this?!" Doug glared ferociously at Chase.Chase shook his head. He did not really want to talk to Doug.A lowlife like him was not good enough to talk to Chase."Hmph! You have no idea what's good for you. I'll kill you today!" Doug roared coldly.He pulled his sword out from the sheath."Is death what you're looking for?"Chase narrowed his eyes."Haha! My big brother is almost here. Kneel and beg if you know what's good for you. I might consider sparing your life.""You talk too much!"The look in Chase's eyes was cold, and he gave Doug a nonchalant glance. Such a character would not affect him much. Chase was not interested in this man at all."You…"Chip watched all of this with fear in his wide eyes. "How dare you hit me?! My big brother won't let you get away with this.""Shut up!"Chase gave him a backhanded slap that land
"He's bullying me, Lyndon!" Chip turned and yelled at the battle vehicle.A big, muscular man came out of the vehicle.This man was huge and had a thick beard on his face. He looked quite ferocious."How dare you touch my people, you bastard? Which sect's disciple do you belong to? Don't you know the rules of the Nefarious Deity Sect? All personal duels have to be registered at the Enforcer's Hall. If someone tries to protect you, they'll be punished as well!" Lyndon sneered."Hoho! Are you telling me that stupid guy is under your protection?" Chase's lips curled.He did not hide his identity. After all, he was now aware of the Nefarious Deity Sect's rules.Moreover, he wanted to see for himself how great the Nefarious Deity Sect's top genius was. He wanted to see how powerful that person was to gain so much respect from these ants."You're dead!" Lyndon was enraged. He suddenly burst with speed as he ran toward Chase.The sound of weapons clashing echoed everywhere. A fierce b
"Thank you for your guidance, sir," Chase replied with a salute."Are you new to the Nefarious Deity Sect?" the old man asked."Yes. I've only just arrived here and hope that you'll be able to give me a pointer or two, sir," Chase said."I've been in the Nefarious Deity Sect my entire life. I know all of the sect's rules better than you." The old man brushed his snow-white beard with his hand while he was speaking. He went on and on."You're new here and must not know how powerful the Nefarious Deity Sect is. Our sect might not be the most powerful, but our power cannot be ignored. As long as you're part of the Nefarious Deity Sect, you'll have a strong backing behind you."Chase listened intently and kept nodding. He knew that this was a land where the strong ruled. Chase had gotten used to this long ago."It's been said that the master of the Nefarious Deity Sect is a martial god genius. He's an incredible man."To be honest with you, a talented young man like you will be nurt
Even though the converging of evil and light energy was against techniques of divine abilities, it was able to enhance one's combat skills by a hundred or even a thousand times. However, the side effects were just as impactful. One might be killed anytime if one was exposed.Fortunately, Chase had a determined heart. He would remain calm even when faced with death.Chase's soul was from the mortal world. It had power that could prevent the attack of the Nefarious Deity Technique. This was the source of his confidence in taking a risk at this place.He was not afraid of being followed by the enemy here. The only thing he needed to be worried about was others discovering his existence there.Chase walked around the forest while being led by the old man. While they walked, he felt something was off because the old man seemed to be moving off course. There was no one around them at all."This place is only ten miles away from the foot of the Nefarious Deity Sect. We should be bumping
"This rain came too late. Otherwise, you would've been able to obtain more evil energy."Evil energy was a unique energy of heaven and earth. Not only could this energy help with cultivation, but it could also strengthen one's physique. The converging of evil and light energy required outside help for its power to be complete.'I wonder if this person really knows Nine Soul Control Technique?' Chase wondered.For some reason, Chase felt that this world was like a fantasy world of martial arts. There were martial artists and even wild beasts and monsters.Chase continued to maintain his composure and did not suffer any huge blows. However, it was because his status was unique. He had no other explanation for it and decided not to explain a word.That was how Chase followed the old man and arrived near the Nefarious Deity Sect. The old man led Chase into the mountain gates of the Nefarious Deity Sect.There was a valley on the other side of the gates. It took up a vast piece of lan
Jade gritted her teeth as she gathered all her vital energy, preparing to unleash her ultimate move. It was the very origin of her title—Thousand Eyes and Flowers.Behind her, a vital energy screen spread open like a peacock fanning its tail.The surface was covered with intricate patterns, resembling the eye-like spots on a peacock's feathers.These patterns were not mere decorations. Each one was an ancient rune, capable of releasing a devastating vital energy attack.When Jade unleashed this move, everyone below gasped in shock."No way, this is just a friendly tournament match. Does Jade really need to go this far?""Should we reinforce the arena's defensive array? I'm afraid someone might get caught in the crossfire.""Tsk, tsk, it's been so long since we last saw Jade lose her temper. She's even more stunning when she is angry!""You're such a pervert. If you get hit by that move, there will not even be a corpse left of you!""You don't understand. There are worse ways t
Inside Universal Holy Land, Clive and his master were facing off against the woman suspected to be the Dark Divine Pearl. Meanwhile, at Light Divine City, Chase's fourth round at the tournament's semifinals had already begun.His opponent was Jade, the Saintess of Modest Lady Holy Land, also known as Thousand Eyes and Flowers.It was already extremely rare for two contestants with such a rare same surname to appear in the same tournament. They belonged to different factions yet both were advancing to the final few rounds. Not to mention, if Yara had revealed his phoenix bloodline and inheritance, he might have very well made it to the finals too.The people with the surname Fries were terrifying beyond words!These were the thoughts running through Chase's head for no particular reason. On the other hand, after Jade saluted, she launched her attack without hesitation.Chase, still a bit distracted, was startled by the ferocity of her strike. Such a name and demeanor, paired with
Skyler spoke proudly.Clive kept having the feeling that something did not seem right when he heard Skyler's words."The Holy Path will only open after winning the tournament championship. Only those selected by the champion can enter. I was already eliminated in the second round…" Clive stammered."Won't you become the champion after killing the current champion? Isn't killing Chase Collins what you want to do?" Skyler was frustrated with Clive.Clive finally realized what felt wrong about all of this."You're not Skyler," he said coldly.The Universal Element Priest had also locked down on Skyler with his vital energy at this point. "Reveal yourself. Who are you? What did you do to Skyler?""Oh? How did you know?" Skyler was taken aback but quickly calmed down and asked the question. "What's wrong with my charisma and appearance?"He looked at his body and clothes while asking the questions with curiosity and calmness. This person had admitted to pretending to be Skyler."Fir
"His will is a blur." Clive sounded helpless when he added, "But it's a will that is extremely frightening and evil."He had the right to this opinion as someone who had faced Klondike directly.When Klondike's will was directed at him, Clive could feel unlimited fear and helplessness. Any second more of facing Klondike might make him lose his mind.He could barely take the energy pumped into him. He only managed to get through it because of his guilt for Rania and his desire to live.The thought of begging Klondike was equivalent to seeing death.There was one reason why he was brave enough to talk about Klondike with the Universal Element Priest and Skyler. It was because Klondike was in a stage of being half awake and half asleep. Clive only dared to discuss Klondike when he was asleep.However, speaking of anything that crossed the line would attract his attention, and Clive was not willing to see that happen.The Universal Element Priest and Skyler glanced at each other. The
Both of those disciples thought they could see Skyler lose his temper, but he reacted calmly. The attempts to fan the situation seemed to have failed. Had they lost credibility with Skyler for their misguided actions?They broke into a cold sweat from fear.Those disciples had offended the previous and current Saints. It looked like they had just made life tougher for themselves.They glanced at each other and gave a long sigh.…Inside Universal Element Palace, Clive had placed Rania down on a training mat while he knelt in front of his master, the Universal Element Priest. "Master, please save Rania North. I'm willing to pay any price without regrets!"He spoke with great determination, and there was a grim look on his face."Silly boy." The Universal Element Priest glanced at Clive and sighed."Rania North seems to have been poisoned by a vicious curse and an extraterritorial poison. I can temporarily save her life, but her face…" He shook his head."I'm grateful enough that
The man had just commented to his junior when a sharp sword aura came swishing toward him. It sliced off half of his fringe, and his knees buckled from fear. If the sword had moved an inch further, his skull would have been sliced off."Shut your trap!" Clive's cold voice was heard. It was filled with murder. He had ignored all the criticisms directed at him. However, he pulled his sword out when the man insulted Rania."This is my woman. Insult her again, and I promise you will not see the sun rise tomorrow." Clive turned and continued walking forward without looking back.When he finally vanished from sight, a tall, dashing man came forward with a sword behind his back."Is Clive around?"He asked the two Universal Holy Land disciples who had just seen Clive."Clive just went inside to see the master, Skyler," one of them replied respectfully."Oh. What a coincidence. Um… What happened to your hair?" Skyler suddenly noticed the fringe of the disciple answering him had been slic
"If everything goes as planned, I'll be heading to the Holy Path with Chase Collins." Yara put the small, white bottle into his storage pouch as he spoke in a low voice."There's no hurry for this. I need to make proper arrangements at the Evil Shadow Sect first. Carla secretly set up the Severance Formation at the locations where Norm Weber and I were cultivating in isolation. She wanted to trap us inside and see us dead! I must have my revenge for that."The Holy Path won't happen immediately. You'll make it there eventually. Don't worry too much about it."Tack's eyes turned sharp at the mention of Carla. He and Norm had taken pains to nurture and groom Carla to become the sect master of the Evil Shadow Sect.Yet she showed ingratitude to their efforts by trying to kill them just to be with that rascal, Fallon Locke.Carla was a heartless woman who had no loyalty or filial piety. Such a vicious woman should find it lucky if all they did for revenge was to kill her.Tack saved N
Yara returned to his room at the inn after exiting the tournament venue. He checked the room carefully for any signs of intruders entering his room. He then took out a talisman from his storage pouch and blew gently on it.The talisman started to burn, and gentle smoke slowly billowed in the air. A formation formed instantly, and the entire room was cut off from the outside world.After that, Yara took out a messaging talisman. He touched the image of an old man on it. The next moment, the old man's image projected in front of him. He looked to be about 50 or 60. The old man had a head of white hair and a white beard. He was also wearing a big, red robe as he held a chowrie in his hand."Chase Collins took the bait, master," Yara said respectfully to the old man."Good job. You'll be rewarded well once this is done." The old man whisked his chowrie and laughed. He added, "Get his primordial essence, understand?"He lowered his voice when giving the instruction. When he bent his hea
After all, Chase had to bring Yara along if they were really going to the Holy Path.Chase would not be able to hide it from them then. It was better to be honest with them from the start."What? He needed something from you? Will he come over to see you tonight?" Willow's question had Lisa and Walter exchanging a glance.Chase had no idea how to respond. "What are you thinking, Willow? Sweep those dirty thoughts out of your mind."He berated Willow.Willow realized what she had just said and quickly apologized. "Oh, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask what you meant by him needing your help."Chase sighed. "To put it in a nutshell, Yara has phoenix bloodline and requires the Light Divine Pearl's help to receive the Rising powers of the Phoenix Deity. He knows that I have hope of getting the Light Divine Pearl, which is why he came to me."Willow and Walter were stunned."The Phoenix Deity? Isn't that one of the Five Major Demon Saints who holds the same standing as th
