The look on Chase's face froze. He decided not to stay and quickened his footsteps toward the thick forest.Just as he stepped out, a powerful presence came toward him like a suffocating wave of energy."Oh no!"The look on Chase's face changed. He quickly stopped and looked up. An old man was standing several yards away. His arms were crossed, and he was looking down at Chase coldly. There was a cruel and taunting look in his eye. He looked like an eagle playing with his prey."Is there no way to escape?" Chase laughed bitterly. He seemed to be aware that the old man would not let him go so easily."All you're doing is heading toward death. You might as well come quietly with me back to my sect."The old man leaped suddenly after declaring this and appeared in front of Chase with amazing speed. His iron claws reached out to grab Chase by the neck.This terrifying force came upon Chase, making it difficult for him to breathe. He was unable to channel the true energy within him.
"Damn it!" the black-robed man cursed. He turned around and headed toward the deep forest."Where do you think you're going?!"Chase immediately went after him, and they entered the deep forest one after the other.That was when a lethal sword flash swung by, the sharp blade tearing through the air.The look on Chase's face changed. He quickly moved to dodge the attack while turning back to retaliate with a punch.True energy reverberated wildly in the air, and the sword flash crumbled inch by inch. A towering figure appeared suddenly while swinging a giant axe.Chase put his arm up to block the attack. His arm shuddered from the impact, and his hand was torn, blood gushing from it.This was an enemy.The black-robed man beat back Chase and smiled coldly. "You've managed to cultivate your physique to such a powerful extent as a Body Refining Cultivator. No wonder you're brave enough to fight me."His left leg kicked out like a whip while he spoke. It shot out with terrifying p
Chase suddenly stood up. His surroundings had gone through a great change as he was now standing in a dark space. Everywhere around him had a chilling aura.Skeletons were floating in the air, emanating a rotting stench. They looked like they had been there for millions of years. It was a frightening sight."This…. This is a graveyard!"The black-robed man's eyes widened, and he felt a chill in his heart."You're right. You have pretty bad luck to have touched something forbidden and invoked the graveyard's curse."The man's expression looked increasingly dark. He knew that this was a Reincarnation Graveyard. Numerous heroes were buried in this dangerous place.Legend had it that a fallen martial supreme was buried there. There were even rumors that this was the resting place of an emperor."This is a graveyard, the resting place of millions of people. You'll be forever consumed by the Law of Eternal Silence and vanish completely by daring to barge into this place of evil!" the
"What?!" The black-robed man was shocked. He turned only to see the eerie face of a ghost.The face had a similar color to the purple lightning, and even the waves of aura coming from it were similar."This… This isn't possible!" The man was filled with fear. He could feel his hair stand on its end.He retreated quickly with a burst, but it was too late. Chase's right punch came crashing down on his head like a comet.His skull was crushed, and blood splattered everywhere. The man screamed in pain as he flew off into the air and crashed into a wall nearby. The wall collapsed from the impact.Chase walked over to him. He was covered in blood, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like a vicious demon that was emanating with thick intent to murder. He went straight toward the black-robed man who was on the ground."Have mercy… Please… Don't kill me…"The man's voice was quivering. He could see that Chase's eyes had no trace of humanity in them. They were filled with a cruel thirs
The man turned pale, fear and an unwillingness to die evident in his eyes.A short moment later, the black-robed man sat limp on the ground. He was emanating heat. His skin had become dry, and he looked like a dried-up corpse."My cultivation didn't improve." Chase frowned.He had absorbed a portion of the man's primordial spirit energy, but his cultivation level remained the same."Could his primordial spirit possess just a minor fraction of cultivation?" Chase wondered.However, Chase soon let this go. After all, this was an ancient and unorthodox technique that was used only to absorb evil energy for cultivation. This was not suitable for normal cultivation but for other types of cultivation."Forget about it. I don't want to overthink this. I'll just focus on recuperating." Chase shook his head and closed his eyes. He began to cultivate the vitality he got and use it to refine his physique.It was a quiet night.…The next day, Chase woke up from cultivating.He huffed, a
"Someone actually dares to rob us of the things in our storage rings! That person deserves to be torn apart!""Damn it! We can't let this go. There was a grade-seven spiritual pill in there!"All three of them were furious. They swore revenge against the culprit who had robbed them. They wanted that person to suffer a fate worse than death.Chase perked up at the news.A grade-seven spiritual pill was extremely valuable to a Pill Refining Master. It was enough to exchange it for rare and valuable ingredients."Could they be Pill Refining Masters?" Chase frowned and began thinking about this. "Hmm… They might be Pill Refining Masters pretending to be martial artist disciples. It'd be easy for them to disguise themselves as one." Chase's eyes narrowed, and there was a glint in them.If they were Pill Refining Masters, he did not mind silencing them by killing all of them.After all, a Pill Refining Master was a sensitive existence to him. They could not be offended. Any wrong move
Dark-colored blood dripped down his mouth, and he was hurt badly."Get lost!" the short, young man roared. Bright, golden light shot out from his body. He put his hands together in incantation and pushed out a golden palm print. This golden palm print collided with the giant ape's big axe, blocking the ape's mad attack."Huh?" Chase was slightly surprised as he carefully observed the fight. "That short man's martial arts technique is pretty unique. Is that a type of mystical technique he's using?"The giant ape, which was hundreds of feet tall, roared into the air. It howled like a wild beast, and its arm muscles swelled as if they could explode at any time. As it stepped forward, the entire mountain seemed to quake.It raised its giant axe once more to sweep it viciously at the young man."Oh no!" Chase became anxious.The man was about to be completely exhausted. He could not sustain such an attack.The axe fell, instantly cracking open a ditch that was more than ten feet long
The giant ape roared furiously. It was huge and could not move very fast. It could only watch as Chase flew toward the Flaming Ganoderma. Chase reached out to grab it, and that was when the Flaming Ganoderma suddenly shot out a burning light.A thread of flame coiled around the Flaming Ganoderma, tugging on the herb and plucking it out from the ground. The flaming thread coiled tighter around the herb to tie around it and pulled it up by the roots."What?!" Chase's eyes widened with disbelief. He had no idea what just happened.Meanwhile, the giant ape came near, and its gigantic punch hit the ground with massive strength.The ground and mountains shook. As dust blew up into the valley air, huge rocks flew into the air from the impact. These flying rocks in the air hit the Flaming Ganoderma, causing sparks from the collision.Meanwhile, Chase was fully focused on controlling the flaming thread on the Flaming Ganoderma while dodging the giant ape's attack. He was trying to move a
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
