Chase quickly found a medicinal herb, crushed it, and swallowed it, refining the medicinal properties to expel the remaining poison from his body. At the same time, he retrieved his alchemy cauldron, using spirit liquid and herbal extracts to purify his body and restore himself to peak condition.After standing still for a moment to adjust, he stepped toward the cave entrance. The entrance was narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through. A foul, putrid stench filled the air inside."There are demonic monsters here… More than one." Chase remained on high alert as he stepped cautiously inside, exploring deeper.The cave was massive. The deeper he went, the hotter the air became. It even carried an oppressive heat that seared his skin."Strange… Why do I feel like the energy inside me is becoming restless as if it's about to spiral out of control?" Chase furrowed his brows.Logically speaking, martial cultivators had exceptionally strong physiques, and ordinary flames w
Ancient formation techniques were extremely rare. It was said that the core of such formations required divine metals from antiquity, and the higher the grade of the formation, the greater the resources needed to construct it."Interesting. This formation even has the ability to replenish spiritual energy!"This type of formation was not particularly difficult to learn as long as one understood the fundamental incantations.Chase closed his eyes and silently recited the formation's incantation.The void trembled slightly. When he opened his eyes again, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips. "Now, this is getting interesting!"Within his mind, the blueprint of the formation had already begun taking shape.With his spiritual power at a certain level, all he needed was to comprehend the core techniques of the formation, and he could attempt to construct the Blazing Inferno Array."Since you people enjoy deception so much, I'll use you to test the power of this formation first."A
Blood sprayed through the air. The martial god did not even have time to react before his skull was shattered and his lifeless body crashed to the ground."Damn! What do we do? That beast is too powerful—we can't kill it!" The remaining martial gods trembled in fear, their legs nearly giving out beneath them.The demonic tiger was brutal and bloodthirsty, showing no mercy. Its body was covered in impenetrable scales, rendering ordinary swords, spears, and halberds useless. Only overwhelming force could put it down."Run! We have to report this to the elders and let them handle the beast!"Without hesitation, they turned and fled with swift movements.However, just as they were about to escape, Chase appeared and stood right in their path."Who's there?!"The martial gods immediately grew wary, turning to face him.They saw an ordinary-looking young man, dressed in simple green robes, with nothing particularly eye-catching about him."Get lost!"One of them barked impatiently.
The group of martial gods turned pale with fear, abandoning any thoughts of chasing Chase as they scrambled to flee.However, before they could take a single step, streaks of radiant energy tore through the air.Elite martial gods had arrived! Each of them carried countless talismans, their bodies pulsing with mystical energy.One talisman ignited, erupting into roaring flames and transforming into a fire serpent that lunged at Chase.These talismans were not ordinary—each had been purchased at an exorbitant price, crafted by skilled rune masters to ensure formidable power.Yet Chase remained unfazed.He extended his hand, grabbed the fire serpent, and bit down without hesitation to crush it between his teeth.To others, these runes might have been lethal, but Chase cultivated the Chaos Immortal Physique, rendering him impervious to such flames. Instead of harming him, the energy was absorbed and refined within his body.The remaining martial gods unleashed their attacks. Brill
"Retreat!"A cry of alarm rang out as their expressions shifted dramatically. Without hesitation, they turned and fled as if they had encountered something truly terrifying.The black fiend wolf was a martial nirvana-level demonic monster, known for its mastery of stealth and ambush tactics. Once targeted by this beast, death was almost inevitable.Though these two martial gods were powerful, they could not hold their ground. One of them was quickly overcome by the poison mist, his face twisting in agony as smoke escaped from his mouth and nose. The venom had spread too deep, and his survival was unlikely.Meanwhile, the black fog continued to spread, growing denser, engulfing everything in sight.Standing firm, Chase narrowed his eyes in suspicion.The black fiend wolf was indeed a martial nirvana-level demonic monster, but did it really think that a mere poison mist could kill him?What a joke!"It seems this forbidden land holds far more dangers than just beasts. There's mia
The demonic lizard, a martial nirvana-level beast, stood before Chase. Its eyes were gleaming with hostility.Chase's gaze turned sharp as he gripped his battle spear, stepping forward without hesitation.The demonic lizard struck first, its claws slicing through the air with terrifying speed, leaving behind streaking afterimages.Chase dodged swiftly, sidestepping its attack before thrusting his spear forward to pierce straight through the beast's throat.The demonic lizard was no weak opponent. It had reached its peak power and was a formidable adversary that would have been a death sentence for an average martial god-level warrior.Blood gushed from its neck, but the demonic lizard was not finished. Its eyes burned with fury, locking onto Chase as it charged madly toward him.Chase lightly tapped his foot against the ground, vanishing in an instant. At the same time, his fist struck out, landing a devastating blow directly to the monster's chest. The impact exploded through it
This was no ordinary weapon. It had been forged from century-old obsidian iron, a treasure of exceptional sharpness. Yet this monstrous beast had devoured it whole in a single bite.The sheer strength of its jaws was terrifying.At that moment, the ghost-winged griffin opened its mouth once more, releasing a thick cloud of toxic mist. The corrosive vapors distorted the air, spreading rapidly toward Chase. A putrid, venomous stench filled the surroundings, making it impossible to breathe."You're courting death!"Chase roared, activating the Domination Technique. A radiant golden aura erupted around his body, forming a shimmering protective barrier. With a single punch, he shattered the toxic mist.He gripped his battle spear without hesitation, his body surging forward like a diving dragon. He drove his weapon through the ghost-winged griffin's skull, pinning it to the ground.The griffin's blood-red eyes widened in its final moment of agony. It let out one last shrill cry before
The black ape let out a furious roar, locking its bloodthirsty gaze onto Chase as it relentlessly pursued him."Damn it!" Chase cursed under his breath.Although the black ape lacked intelligence, its primal instincts told it that if it could kill and devour Chase's blood, its own strength would grow even greater!With a mighty swipe of its claws, the black ape sent a thick tree branch flying through the air. The sheer force of the strike ignited sparks as the branch tore through the atmosphere.Chase's eyes locked onto the incoming branch. With a swift push of his toes against the tree bark, he flipped in mid-air and narrowly dodged the attack.The branch whizzed past, stirring up a violent gust of wind that made Chase's clothes billow wildly.The black ape's palm strike came crashing down just as Chase landed, shaking the earth beneath him. The impact sent him staggering backward.A sharp pain rose in his chest, and he nearly coughed up blood.Lifting his gaze, he saw that th
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
