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
Illusions were essentially a type of special illusionary realm, and like all things, they varied in strength.Weaker illusions were ineffective against warriors unless the master of the illusion was vastly superior in cultivation. Only then could they manipulate a warrior's perception to the point of deception."Miss, I didn't mean to ambush you. I was forced into this situation due to unforeseen circumstances. I hope you can forgive me."Chase withdrew his imposing aura and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.The woman in the purple dress stood a distance away. Her face was slightly pale, her lips were chapped, and her breathing was uneven. Sweat beaded on her forehead."Hmph! Consider yourself lucky. We're leaving!"She let out a cold snort, tossing a ring to the ground before turning away and departing swiftly. A faint blush spread across her delicate features, and her tattered robes barely concealed the color of her undergarments beneath.Moments ago, she had employed
At this stage of cultivation, advancing to each new realm required absorbing the soul essence of demonic or fierce beasts.Only the most powerful could condense a Nascent Soul. Yet even then, it remained bound within the void, unable to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth.Only those who reached the martial divine transformation realm could truly transcend these limits, traversing the void and exploring the vast universe.To break through these constraints, one had to refine a Demon Soul and fuse it with the Nascent Soul. Only then could they set foot on the path of true ascension.For ordinary warriors, even reaching midway martial arts overlord status placed them far above the rest. They gained extended lifespans, living well beyond a century.If a warrior refined their Martial Soul to its peak, its terrifying power would be beyond imagination."I still have a long way to go before I can condense my Martial Soul… I wonder if this Demon Soul Orb can provide me with
"I know I'm not your match," Ford said, bowing his head. "So, I willingly admit defeat. But I still want to see the Holy Path with my own eyes. That is why... I'm making this shameless request."His explanation actually made sense.Chase and the others already knew that Sky Dragon Holy Land was founded by the dragons who had ascended from the lower realm. It was not difficult to believe that they had the secret techniques needed to transmit battle footage.It also meant that all the rumors about Chase being a mysterious hidden expert were probably a joke among the major Holy Lands and sects. At least, among those sects that had close ties with Sky Dragon Holy Land, they probably already knew about Chase's true strength.Maybe all the Saints and Saintesses who had shown up at this little tournament in Light Divine City were actually here just to test Chase's abilities.Realizing this, Chase chuckled quietly and said, "Of course, you can come along, Ford. But first, I have to actual
After stepping down from the stage, Chase did not waste any time on unnecessary words.He quickly avoided the crowd of onlookers who acted like crazed fans and returned to the reserved inn room with Willow and the others."Tomorrow, your opponent will be the Saint of Sky Dragon Holy Land, Ford," Walter said excitedly."They say Sky Dragon Holy Land was established by the dragons who ascended from the fifth level. You thrashed the Lightning Dragon back on the fifth level the last time, so this time should be just as easy.""Where'd you get such reliable information?" Willow asked, feeling a little surprised.After all, with Walter's rather fearsome appearance—looking every bit like a bandit—most people would not want anything to do with him."I have dragon blood, remember?" Walter patted his chest proudly."Last time, after absorbing the Poison Dragon's core and a good amount of blood essence, the concentration of my dragon lineage became strong enough to catch Sky Dragon Holy La
On the main stage, Chase watched the sea of runes flying toward him. Suddenly, a spark of understanding struck him.He channeled his vital energy into the right index finger that had fused with the divine bone. Recalling the sword manual techniques, streaks of lightning-infused vital energy shot forth as sword energy.He moved his finger through the air, as if painting across the void. Each stroke unleashed a brilliant sword aura, razor-sharp and unstoppable, shattering everything in its path.Jade's rune barrage was broken apart one by one. Fragments of spiritual light and shattered runes drifted through the air.Every slash of Chase's sword aura was executed with such precision that not a single movement was wasted. The angles and trajectories were so perfect that each attack struck the runes at their most vulnerable points, maximizing impact.Among the spectators, only Carla, Fallon, and Ford—who had just rushed over—could truly appreciate the brilliance of his swordplay.More
"But the Light Divine Pearl is a creation-grade treasure. It's still only at the martial god level. It's far from being fully awakened," Fallon said with a frown.While the two spoke, Jade and Chase had already clashed head-on. Jade had unleashed her Thousand Eyes and Flowers.Countless ancient runes, shining with brilliance, shot out from the light screen behind her. Each rune faintly contained the essence of martial arts, distorting the space as they passed.If one's cultivation was insufficient, one's mind and soul would likely be shaken first, followed by one's body being pierced by the runes.As the rain of runes blasted toward Chase like a raging storm, the spectators below gasped as they were finally witnessing a truly grand spectacle.Willow and the others were awed by the sheer momentum of Jade's ultimate move. Although they knew Chase would not be harmed, they could not help but feel anxious."Can Chase block it?" Lisa asked worriedly while glancing at Willow."My mast
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
