The man in the green robe licked his lips, his expression both sinister and unsettling.Chase frowned. "What are you trying to say?""I'm saying that begging for mercy can save your life. So, go on—beg. Otherwise, I might get too excited and end up killing you," the green-robed man said with a chilling smile.A cold glint flashed in Chase's eyes. "You're taking this too far. If you want to kill me, at least see if I agree first.""Oh? So you're not afraid of death?" The man raised an eyebrow in surprise. "I thought someone like you would understand the importance of staying alive no matter the cost."Chase let out a mocking laugh. "You're overthinking it.""Haha! Since you're not afraid of death, I'm even more eager to see how you'll look when you finally beg."The green-robed man chuckled twice, then suddenly disappeared.Chase's eyelid twitched. His speed was terrifying.If it had been anyone else, they would not have even had the chance to react before being killed.Alarm
"You little brat, refusing the easy way and choosing the hard way instead? It looks like you don't want to live!"The green-robed man narrowed his eyes dangerously. A streak of dark purple lightning shot out, crackling as it streaked toward Chase's right knee.A sharp tearing sound rang out.His leg was struck, and blood splattered as pain tore through him, forcing him to take a sharp breath.Fury erupted in Chase's heart. "I'll fight you to the death!"He lunged at the green-robed man again with bloodshot eyes. He would never allow himself to be humiliated like this!The man smirked in disdain. "With just you? Pathetic."In the next second, his figure vanished once more. At that moment, a flood of unfamiliar memories rushed into Chase's mind.They were chaotic and disjointed, flashing past like scenes in a dream. However, what they carried was a crushing wave of humiliation. This was his memory!Chase's breath caught, and his heart pounded violently. They had come so suddenly
In the blink of an eye, Chase's right arm shot forward, gripping the green-robed man's throat with lightning speed. His voice, cold and bloodthirsty, rasped out, "You dare to provoke me? Today, I'll take your damn life!""Hahaha… Bold little brat! You actually dare to fight back?" The green-robed man laughed wildly, but his eyes soon turned ice-cold. "Do you even know who I am? Acting this arrogant—you're asking for death!"In an instant, his body swelled.Before Chase's eyes, the man's form expanded, towering into a giant that was a few feet tall in mere moments."A mere ant dares challenge me?" With a sneer, the giant lifted his massive hand and smashed it down on Chase.A violent impact rocked Chase's body, making his internal organs churn. A mouthful of blood spewed from his lips.Yet even in agony, he refused to let go. His fingers tightened around the giant's throat, and with the last ounce of his strength, he drove the monstrous form down toward the ground."Die!" Chase r
Chase's pupils dilated abruptly as searing pain tore through his body, making him convulse uncontrollably.Yet despite the agony, his eyes remained filled with defiance and hatred. His grip around the giant's throat never loosened.A sharp, sickening snap echoed from the giant's neck.Chase clenched his jaw tightly. He could feel the bones in his own neck fracturing under the immense pressure, but he refused to let go.He saw the giant's expression shift—the once fierce gaze slowly lost focus, his pupils growing dull. The giant's arms drooped lifelessly, and his massive body gradually faded into nothingness. All that remained was a single storage ring, lying motionless on the ground.Chase picked it up and used his spiritual sense to probe inside.The space within was vast, containing a wide variety of medicinal herbs, a pill furnace, weapons, and even cultivation techniques! Though he did not recognize the specific pills stored inside, he could tell at a glance that this ring wa
The man's face was strikingly handsome, with sharp, well-defined features and a mysterious allure. His eyes were slightly narrowed, exuding both danger and an irresistible charm.His presence was elusive, almost otherworldly, as though he existed in a realm separate from the mortal world. He seemed impossible to grasp or predict.His footsteps were light, and with each step, his figure seemed to fade slightly, becoming more ethereal.A thought surfaced in Chase's mind. This was an unrivaled presence, and he moved like an immortal. However, before he could react further, a sudden golden light flashed before his eyes.The next instant, a sharp sound echoed in his ears.A dagger, cold and razor-sharp, was now pressed against his throat.Chase's pupils contracted, and he immediately swallowed hard.The dagger was pitch-black and covered in intricate inscriptions. A lifelike image of a black chimera was carved onto the hilt, radiating an aura of ancient strength and mystery.This wa
Thiago halted his steps and turned his head slightly, casting a cold, mocking glance at Chase. "What? Have you come to your senses?""I want to make a deal with you."Chase forced himself to stand, enduring the pain as he slowly approached Thiago.Reaching into his storage ring, he retrieved an exquisite pendant and extended it toward him."Hah… How foolish."A sneer curled at Thiago's lips. He then crushed the pendant in his hand without hesitation.At that moment, a brilliant silver pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds."What are you doing?!" Chase's face twisted in alarm.Thiago replied indifferently, "Calling reinforcements, of course.""You—"Chase clenched his teeth as he glared at Thiago, but there was nothing he could do."Kid, I admit you have some talent." Thiago's lips curled into a sinister smirk. "Help me with something, and I'll let you go."Chase eyed him warily. He did not know exactly who Thiago was, but something about him felt de
As Thiago spoke his final words, his voice twisted into something monstrous, like a specter dragging its victim into the abyss. A chilling aura surrounded him, making the air thick with fear.Chase's body trembled violently. His breathing grew more labored, and his vision darkened. Gritting his teeth, he forced his eyes open and glared at Thiago as his gaze became filled with burning hatred."You bastard!"He clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he might weep tears of blood at any moment. He had never expected Thiago to be this ruthless.Thiago laughed maniacally, his expression growing even more cruel.The sound of bones snapping echoed through the night, followed by a bloodcurdling scream.Thiago had mercilessly snapped both of Chase's arms. Not to mention, they were completely and utterly shattered.Pain twisted Chase's face into something almost unrecognizable. Cold sweat drenched his forehead as he curled up on the ground, his body trembling violently
Chase felt a crushing force slam into his back, sending him flying into the wall. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale.Seeing Chase suffer, a fleeting look of satisfaction flashed through Rhett's cold eyes.Chase braced himself against the wall, struggling to stand. His back throbbed with unbearable pain, and sweat beaded his forehead as he gritted his teeth to endure it."Rhett, I have no conflicts with you. Why are you attacking me out of nowhere?" His voice carried both shock and confusion."Do I need a reason to kill you?" A mocking smile played on Rhett's lips."I'll give you a chance. If you can withstand three of my attacks, I'll let you go."The moment he finished speaking, an overwhelming aura burst forth from his body. In a flash, he lunged toward Chase, his movements as swift and ghostly as a phantom. His palm struck Chase's chest with terrifying force.Chase raised his arm in an attempt to block, but the sheer power behind the strike sent
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
