Chase decided to show them what true speed was now that he had grasped how to use this new technique of the Might of Thunder and Lightning. He formed an avatar using lightning vital energy while his true form stayed where he was to bait them.Why did Chase not create more avatars?He could create three avatars if he was a martial god.However, he was currently a martial monarch, and his vital energy had greatly decreased, which was why he could only form an avatar. It was more than enough, though.His avatar ran toward Ricky, Barnabas, and Sykes while condensing power to form the lightning spear. He stabbed all of them right in the chest.These actions happened in an instant.Willow and the others gulped fearfully as they watched the Evil Shadow Sect members attack.They cultivated the same technique. When they attacked at the same time, the power and energy released merged into one. It was not a technique that could be unleashed by a martial monarch.Willow and the others woul
Tia, the base's officer, and a few others quietly snuck off when they saw Walter and the others focused on putting together an inventory checklist from the battlefield while Chase carefully inspected his finger and the lightning spear."I'll go after them, Chase!" Cyril shouted at him.He was now a fan of Chase and wanted to leave with him.However, he had not completed the mission given to him by his masters. He decided to stay and finish his mission when he spotted Tia sneaking away."Wait."Chase called out to him and took a Mirage Tiger Dragon Pill from Walter to give to Cyril. "Consider this a thank-you gift for all your help."Even though Cyril had no idea what pill it was, he could still tell its grade as he was the heir to the Miracle Doctor Sect.He recognized the pill as a lower world-grade pill. It was priceless in this world with the limitation of martial monarch.Cyril was touched and tried to reject it. "How could I—""Don't worry about it. Take the pill. You des
Carla was done putting on her clothes while listening to Fallon analyze the situation. She walked over to him and said, "What about the Three Sects of Southsky?"They're from Earth and claim to be the main realm, the original realm. Those sects have been quite active on our territory. Could they be the ones behind this?""The sect leaders from the Three Sects of Southsky are only stage-eight martial gods. According to them, Earth is filled with spiritual energy. That would make cultivating there quite easy. I've exchanged hands with them before. There's nothing special about them besides several interesting moves."Elder Dominic and Elder Ricky are peak martial gods while the Two Evils of Hell are users of the Joint Strike Technique. They were killed at almost the same time. No one can do that unless they're martial dominants or major martial gods, or even cultivators of a higher level."It's not that I look down on those imbeciles. But they might not even achieve that in their nex
Chase smiled after listening to Willow's explanation. "The next time I bump into the Nefarious Deity Sect, I'd need to pay more attention to their dark beasts and zombie puppets.""That's a given. Besides, the Nefarious Deity Sect has the Mystic Nefarious Priest. He's the top Formation Master in the nether realm. He can turn dark beasts and zombie puppets into formations that are just like infantry and cavalry. He's also one of the main reasons why the Nefarious Deity Sect is at the top."Walter knew a little about this and joined in the explanation."Oh, I see." Chase realized that he had never met this main person from the Nefarious Deity Sect. That was why he had a misunderstanding of their abilities. He was about to say more when he heard a sudden commotion.Chase channeled his far sight and spotted a giant python of about 129 feet in length about to lunge at Willow.It seemed to be at the peak of level two.Chase frowned slightly and warned, "Behind you, Willow."Willow was
Why the hell was it purple?What the giant python did not know was that something had happened to it while it was puzzled. It was already affected by Willow's technique, and its reaction began to slow half a beat. The python was not able to evade the purple blade coming down at it.A huge wound was torn on the python's body, and black-colored blood gushed out. It was infuriated by Willow's blade attack. Demon energy began releasing everywhere, and the air was filled with a stench.Willow covered her nose as the world in her eyes began to contort.Had she been poisoned?Willow was alarmed. She started channeling the Detoxification Technique to try and force the python's venom out of her. She coughed up black-colored blood not long after. However, she still felt weak and a little dizzy.This could not continue. Chase would look down at her.Willow forced herself to channel another mystical technique, and her mind cleared up. She channeled the Mystical Shadow Steps.Several Willow
After stepping out, Chase circulated the Light Deity Technique again to dry his body completely."Come on. Hit me with your poison techniques," Chase said, shouting toward Willow and Cyril."You're the one asking for it." Walter and Willow exchanged a glance and smiled.Then, they each activated their respective poison arts.Walter's poison technique could be used separately from his water and fire powers or combined with them. Since Chase had specifically asked for it, he chose to use only the pure poison technique as it would be easier to cleanse. He condensed a green vital energy poison sphere, gathering energy.Willow's poison art originated from the Impermanence Mystical Shadow Technique. It was a type of spiritual poison that could induce hallucinations or drive someone into madness. It was extremely troublesome to deal with. Her poison energy emitted the same violet hue as before."We're launching it!" Willow announced. A violet beam and Walter's green poison orb shot towa
"Why is my luck so terrible?!" Willow could not help but complain to herself.Walter sensed the aura in the air. It was indeed of the flood dragon lineage. Although stronger than the martial arts overlord realm, it still had not reached the martial god level.If only they were outside this place... As a martial god himself, Walter would have been able to crush it effortlessly.If he absorbed its blood essence, even if it did not help him break through to martial dominant, it would purify his own bloodline. The increase in his innate talent and divine abilities would have been very real and substantial.Now, all they could do was rely on Chase. He hoped his master would show his strength and slaughter the creature so that he could consume its blood essence.Their guess was correct. The creature flying overhead was indeed of True Dragon bloodline. Here, it belonged to the so-called 'True Dragon Clan'.Of course, that was a self-proclaimed title. Compared to actual dragons, they sti
Immediately afterward, most of the animals coughed up several mouthfuls of black or green blood and then returned to normal. They all knew this was thanks to Chase.Many of the wild beasts and creatures ran over to him, bowing or kneeling in their own way to express their gratitude before turning and fleeing in the opposite direction.The giant dragon in the sky saw this and was equally astonished. The man below clearly had a cultivation level lower than its own, yet he possessed such a profound mastery of healing arts that he completely dispelled its innate toxic ability.It had to be noted that this poison had never failed within this world. The dragon could not help but abandon its initial contempt and began treating the matter seriously.It once again gathered vital energy, and its draconic aura burst forth. The animals that had fled earlier instantly dropped to the ground under the renewed pressure.Walter, whose true form was that of a giant python and who was a distant memb
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
"An old acquaintance?" There was murder in Carla's eyes."It's someone from long ago. I thought she was dead. I didn't expect her to still be alive, or rather, this could be her descendant." Fallon's mind moved quickly as he tried to squeeze any excuse he could from his mind."Why haven't I heard you talk about this old acquaintance before?" Carla was suspicious. However, Fallon had never lied to her before. At least, she had never caught him lying before. She was not entirely sure if he was telling lies right now."You know how the Nefarious Deity Sect would sometimes discover unique and powerful monsters whenever we visualize Nefarious Spirits or tame dark beasts. Yara Fries looks very much like a human-form monster I discovered with phoenix bloodline."She refused to bow down to me. Since I could not have her, I killed her. I was not as powerful then, and I had a hard time trying to kill her. I was relegated to using despicable methods in the fight. That's why I… lost my calm whe
However, the rules did not state that fighters were not allowed to admit defeat, which was why the referee ruled that Chase had won.Most elites in the spectators did not know the Fries family well, but they still came forward to ask about the fight. Some of them went off to watch other fights with a sorry look or a look of disdain on their face.Carla, who was seated at the very top, said, "Interesting.""Why would you say that?"Fallon, who had been looking forward to watching a descendant of the Phoenix Deity in action, was feeling upset about the outcome. He asked the question when he heard Carla's comment."They were putting up an act," Carla said with a smile."Huh? Wouldn't that be rigging a fight? What are you smiling about?" Fallon felt angrier after hearing her explanation. He was the one in charge of the tournament, and they were rigging a fight right under his nose. That was disrespectful to the city lord."Didn't he organize this tournament to find out more about thi
"Huh. I didn't expect you to know so much." Yara was surprised."Of course, I know stuff." Chase felt a little proud about it but quickly said, "You should hurry up. There are a lot of people waiting out there.""Alright. I'll make it quick."The Holy Path is a relic of the calamity years ago. As for the ninth level, it was created by the Light Divine Pearl to protect himself by fusing pieces of the world collected from every corner of the universe."Currently, the Holy Path on the sixth level leads directly to the sealed location where the Light Divine Pearl's true form is. The Light Divine Pearl's image projection on the ninth level is where he is able to use most of his powers."Something happened while he was fusing the ninth level. The maximum cultivations on each level are different, and the Light Divine Pearl's image projection is unable to merge with his true form."That's why he used the body refinement of the Divine Order's Flame to leave a mark on you to help you pass t
"What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the
