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
"Profound Abyss Fist!"Chase raised his fist and struck out with immense force. A massive, shadowy serpent formed from his energy. It let out a ferocious hiss as it lunged at the woman in the purple dress.The serpent collided with the shimmering water barrier surrounding her. In an instant, the barrier shattered as it was unable to withstand the attack. The serpent surged forward, sinking its fangs into the woman's body with relentless force."What? How did you break through my defense?" Her eyes widened in shock as disbelief flashed across her face.Chase's punch carried an overwhelming power that was far beyond her expectations.The next moment, a gaping hole the size of a fist appeared in her chest, and blood gushed out in thick streams."You…"Her eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. She was so stunned that he had actually managed to injure her."Do you have any idea who I am? How dare you lay a hand on me?" Her expression twisted in fury, and her eyes were filled with
The blade contained powerful sword intent, and it sliced open a horrible wound on the Black Iron Demon Crocodile's belly. Blood gushed out from it.The crocodile roared furiously as it struggled. However, it could not escape as the blade had cut its veins, which immobilized it.Chase exhaled. He went forward and kicked the crocodile's head.A series of crisp cracks were heard before the crocodile ended up in a pool of blood. It was a horrifying sight.It was a martial nirvana beast, and even though it had been seriously hurt, it could still move. Chase did not dare waste any time. He took out some rope he had prepared earlier and wrung it around the crocodile's neck. He dragged it out of the underground palace."This Black Iron Demon Crocodile's body is massive. It must've consumed the blood essence of many human martial artists. I wonder what other surprises it has for me."Chase chuckled as he prepared to leave.However, that was when Chase paused in his footsteps and suddenly
The sinister and moist aura became stronger. Chase could even detect the rotting stench of dead bodies in the aura."Could there be more than one dead body buried in this place?" Chase contemplated this, but it did not bother him too much as victory was the only thing crucial to him.He leaped into the dark. Chase would come to some crossroads along the way, but he chose to keep going straight. The path led him underground.He had stepped into the tunnel for less than 15 minutes when he caught the sound of fighting. It did not come from outside but from below.He was puzzled and quietly snuck over.There was a loud bang, which was followed by the clanging of weapons.A massive dark shadow was on all fours in the middle of the underground palace covered in rubble. It had four limbs and a huge head. It had terrifying teeth and sharp claws while its back was covered with dark scales.It was crouching, and its red eyes looked vicious and violent. It could lunge forward and eat some
"Damn it!"Chase was enraged. He growled while madly absorbing the pure vitality and heaven and earth's spiritual energy from all around him.He sat down with great pain. He put his hands together to guide the vitality to condense it into lightning form.Purple lightning struck suddenly, tearing through the air and wrapping around the golden light.Chase's forehead was covered in sweat, and his entire body stiffened."This thing is tough to deal with. Why is it so hard to absorb it?" Chase clenched his teeth. The golden light contained incredibly powerful energy."I don't believe that you can take this."There was a cold look in Chase's eye. Thick veins throbbed all over him while limitless energy poured from within his body and into his hands. The energy gathered in his arms.The Might of Thunder and Lightning was an extremely powerful attack technique that was unbeatable.Chase was relieved to see the lightning and light vanish. Even though this was a powerful move, it exhau
"It's a voodoo bug!"The look on Chase's face changed. He instantly realized what it was and quickly waved his arms to release a raging wave of strength that caused numerous trees around him to fall.A swarm of green bugs, with each the size of a thumb, emerged in hordes. They were like swarms of locusts that filled up every space in the air.Massive sword flashes instantly sliced through them, and the bugs were crushed to dust. However, Chase had disturbed other ferocious beasts laying low in the forest with this move.In an instant, piercing howls were heard.Various beasts and birds came lunging at him.Chase's expression turned dark. He formed into a shadow fragment as he dodged the attack of these animals.He did not choose to escape because he could sense many wild dark beasts in this area.Chase had to get used to being in battle mode.That was the only way he was able to get into the rhythm of fighting the enemy while slowly training himself to uncover a combat techniq
The Sword Manual was extremely difficult to understand. Chase had spent close to two days on it before he could grasp the surface-level information it contained.He figured that it would take at least one month for him to be able to completely cultivate the first stance. As for the second and third stances, as well as the most powerful killing move, he did not dare to have much hope for now."I wonder if there are valuable medicinal herbs in this mountain range," Chase wondered.A sword flash brushed past suddenly, cutting off a huge chunk of a rock.Chase's eyes widened. He stopped and looked toward somewhere not far off.A dark, green venomous snake that was more than 20 feet long was slithering about, emanating a dangerous aura as it stared at Chase."A venomous dragon python?" A grim look appeared in Chase's eyes.The venomous dragon python was a rare snake-type ferocious beast. It was covered in lethal venom, and even a stage-four martial god would die instantly if he cam
However, Chase was not about to let him get away. He went after Thorn while wielding his sword.The sword's blade sliced Thorn's skin, causing blood to splatter everywhere. He was once again seriously wounded, and the slash on his chest looked horrible.That was a vicious swing of the blade. It had destroyed Thorn's core, and his basic martial arts skills were gone."No! This isn't possible…!" Thorn was chilled to the core. He fell to the ground and was close to death. His eyes were wide with disbelief. He had never expected to lose to a human martial god.This was a great humiliation!"The Black Feather Guards will tear you apart and turn you to dust!" Thorn cursed at Chase with clenched teeth."Exotic races like you are pretty dumb." Chase shook his head. "If I'm killed, your people will die with me. There are many factors to consider in this world. You need to be aware of the consequences."Chase spoke unfeelingly. The next moment, he lifted his leg and kicked Thorn in the th
"Scared? Haha!"Thorn threw back his head and laughed with a condescending look in his eye. "Human martial artists are nothing but ants. You only managed to obtain resources and heritage from what was left behind by your ancestors. It's because of mere inheritances that you think you're superior and know no fear. I'll teach you a lesson today about how weak humans are!"Chase grunted coldly, and the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand. Stepping forward, he lunged for the kill and swung his sword down.Weapons clashed, and sparks flew.Thorn's expression changed as he stumbled back a step. His arm was numb."The sword technique of a human is indeed exquisite. But such an unruly technique can only be used on low-level dark beasts. It won't be able to do anything to me." Thorn put his hands together, and a dark battle spear formed. The spear kept flashing with light like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.He moved quickly and lunged at Chase for the kill.The look in Chase's eye
"You shouldn't have left the sect like that, Chloe. What if the elders punish you?""This is all because of me, Kara. If I didn't leave, you would've gotten into trouble too…""Don't be silly. You're my junior. I can't stand by and watch you die."The women's words caught Chase's attention."Huh? It's them…"He raised an eyebrow, not expecting them to be hiding deep inside the valley.However, Chase quickly realized something, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He quietly said to himself, "They're martial artists too! Even though they're only early-stage martial gods, they possess the Energy of Drago Tiger. They must have taken some spiritual herbs and refined them."These were no ordinary women. They had a powerful background, so it was not unusual for them to possess some treasures. After all, a martial god had a long lifespan. Common herbs that were easily found would not be able to fulfill their needs."I don't care how unhappy you are, reveal yourself right now," Chase said
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
