Was that…Nefarious Deity Energy?Chase turned back suddenly and headed to the right side of the stone wall. He saw wisps of vague yet pure Nefarious Deity Energy slowly coming out of it. They were moving toward him."No wonder this place felt heavy with evil energy. It's because there's Nefarious Deity Energy here." Chase smiled. Nefarious Deity Energy matched well with the Five Elements Technique, which he had been cultivating.No matter who had gathered Nefarious Deity energy here, Chase would not let the energy slip away now that he found it.He went straight toward the left side of the wall at this thought.Chase stood in front of the wall and reached out to touch it. The wall suddenly quaked violently.The next second, the runes on it glowed brightly like they had come alive. The runes jumped and contorted in the air."Nefarious Deity Energy is formed by gathering evil spirits. The more evil spirits there are, the thicker the Nefarious Deity Energy is." Information flashe
The old man left the room again after that.Chase said cross-legged on a futon. His eyes were closed as he began regulating his breathing. He started to absorb the pure Nefarious Deity Energy into his body.His core quivered slightly like a ravenous wild beast that had caught a whiff of blood. He began to absorb all the Nefarious Deity Energy madly. Soon, all the Nefarious Deity markings were filled to the brim and glowed brilliantly with bright divine light.Everything happened too quickly. It took only a while for Chase to absorb all the Nefarious Deity Energy he needed.He opened his eyes. There was a sharp look in his eye, and it glinted with a flash. "Nefarious Deity Energy is really pure. It's a godsend for martial artists, but the energy is not stable. It might cause a backlash if I'm not careful."A thunderous crack was suddenly heard. Chase looked up at the night sky from the window. It was littered with stars.The night sky of Nefarious Deity Valley was covered with sta
"Leave with you?" Chase was taken aback. He asked, "Sir, don't you want to stay here anymore?""I've been here for more than 80 years. I have deep ties with Nefarious Deity Valley, and I'm not willing to leave this place," the old man replied casually. "I just hope that you'll be able to cultivate successfully here and lead Nefarious Deity Valley to greater heights."Alright. I still have matters to attend to. I won't bother you any longer." The old man gave Chase a salute before turning to leave the house.Chase stood at the door and watched the old man leave. He did not move for a long time.He shook his head in the end and closed the room door.Chase did not accept the old man's invitation because he still had a lot to do. He had to find his sisters and the way back home."No matter what, I still need to achieve a breakthrough before leaving," Chase mumbled and sat down cross-legged. He channeled his abilities and regulated his breathing to recover the true energy he exhausted
Chase decided to choose Nether Valley in Nefarious Deity Mountains.It was because he discovered a spiritual field there.There was a medicinal herb field about three acres big inside Nether Valley. Most of the weeds there were wilted, but there was a thick medicinal fragrance.The field's soil was red and purplish. It was filled with a pure dark and cold aura."That's a thick dark attribute vitality!" Chase was surprised. The thick wave of vitality from the medicinal herb field alone was enough to inform that this field had at least 50 types of medicinal herbs.Moreover, these were supreme-grade medicinal ingredients. They were all grade three and above. There were even grade-four medicinal herbs. Chase was overjoyed about this. If he could gather all of the medicinal herbs of this field and refine them into pills, it would be enough for him to enhance several levels of his cultivation.Moreover, Chase's emerald bottle still had two martial god pills. They were enough for him
He noticed something strange in front of the forest in front of him. There were markings left behind by a running wild beast.Chase quickly ran right into the forest and immediately saw a gray ape several feet tall.The ape was agile and had thick metal pillar-like arms. It kept sticking out its red tongue. It had sharp claws that glinted coldly like metal under the light."This monster's aura is strong. It won't be easy to deal with it."Chase's eyes widened, and he ran without a second thought.He knew that deep inside this forest were strong and powerful monsters. If he bumped into any, death would be the only thing waiting for him.The gray ape's claw slammed onto the ground. There was an explosion, and a deep dent appeared on the ground. It suddenly moved very quickly. All that was left behind was a fragment of its shadow as it went after Chase."Go away!" Chase roared. The sword aura in his body shot out and turned into dozens of swords that swung down in an instant.Bran
The fruit's flesh was silver-white. It did not look damaged on the surface. There was not even a cut on it. It seemed to be solidified.When Chase touched the fruit, he could feel warmth and softness from it.It was an indescribable feeling. All he could say was that it felt comfortable. He could not help closing his eyes to enjoy the feeling.Chase sat down cross-legged as he meditated silently while taking in the essence of the fruit's vitality. Meanwhile, a massive energy went into his body as it nurtured his core to the Sea of Soul.Chase opened his eyes an hour later and smiled."Even though it has lower efficiency, it lasts longer. This fruit can be used for cultivation to enhance the level of cultivators." Chase stood up and kept the remaining fruit.However, he did not get much out of this trip. All he got were three fruits. Besides the initial fruit that was about the size of his fist, the remaining two fruits were about the size of a basin.After all, the ancient trees
Chase grunted coldly when he realized this. "Since he offered himself up on a silver platter, it saves my time from searching for him."He went up to the Flaming Wolf King's corpse after that and pressed his palm to the wolf. A wisp of true energy went into the wolf's corpse.Chase smiled after a while. He gently drew a line on the wolf's neck with his finger. A red-brownish crystal the size of a thumbnail was dug out.It was the blood crystal of the Flaming Wolf King.A monster's blood crystal contained energy from its blood. If Chase were to sell it in the outside world, it would be a treasure that would be worth a lot of money."Looks like a powerhouse had died in this forest before."Chase's eyes narrowed. The Flaming Wolf King was a primitive killer of the forest. It would hunt martial artists continuously in that area and snatch resources.Chase's consciousness managed to detect a bronze box sitting on the other side of the tree. The bronze box was covered in rust, seeming
The daggers struck the water shield and echoed in the air, but the attack did not hurt the woman in the purple dress at all.Chase's eyes widened at this. "That's really solid!"This woman was a stage-two martial god, and she was quite powerful.Chase turned to run.He was very careful. Even though the woman looked about 18 or 19, her real age might be at least 30. Martial artists had long lives and maintained youthful faces. The higher their cultivation level, the more they could keep their youth and look young forever."Did I say you could go?" The woman laughed coldly. She stepped hard on the ground and left a fragment of shadow behind. She moved with great speed, catching up to Chase in one breath.A fair, dainty arms patted Chase on the shoulder. Her fingers were almost translucent like pieces of polished crystal.Chase reacted quickly and moved to the side to avoid the attack while swinging a punch with his right fist.Their hands hit each other, and Chase felt like he ha
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
