Chase put his blade away and stood where he was. This so-called Dragon Clan Trial seemed a little too easy. However, this was just peak martial deity.Even though the Light Divine Pearl and the rules of this world had regressed him to a mid-stage martial deity, his battle experience, technique enlightenment, and artifacts maintained their levels. As long as his opponent was not out-of-this-world powerful, he had a huge chance of victory.Chase began thinking about this. These dragons had remained too long in their original world, and no other clans posed a threat to them. The battle experience of their so-called martyr spirits was like a joke compared to his.Moreover, they had very little knowledge about techniques and attributes and were quite narrow-minded. Even double-attribute cultivators were rare among them.Someone like Chase—who had a strong grasp of the Five Elements Technique, was able to strengthen his physique, and could use swords and blades flawlessly—was probably li
Walter had the same thoughts as Willow. Besides, he was Chase's contract beast and had absolute faith and trust in Chase's abilities after experiencing so many fights with him. Walter knew Chase's techniques and physical condition very well.He was a high-end monster who could not hurt Chase at all even after going full power with his water, fire, and poison attributes.Walter had never seen Chase fight against thunder and lightning-attribute techniques before. However, he was confident Chase's thunder and lighting-attribute defenses would not lose to his water, fire, and poison attributes."It's not just that. The instant electrical bolts can disrupt any technique besides injuring the enemy."If you aren't able to unleash your techniques as fast as him, you won't be able to use any of your abilities. Their lightning bolts only require vital energy. It's enough for them to keep on using it on the enemy."Lisa started to get anxious when Walter and Willow did not completely believe
"What? His avatar? Isn't that a legendary supreme technique only a top powerhouse can use?" The female Poison Dragon was shocked."That fellow must come from a powerful background. Could he be a disciple of a clandestine influential family or sect who is traveling to gain experience?" The Lightning Dragon frowned when he realized things were taking a bad turn.If Chase was from a clandestine influential family or sect, his elders would be even stronger powerhouses. He had to be plotting something if he chose to stay in the lower realm instead of ascending.The Lightning Dragon might not be the world master for long.He did not hide this from the female Poison Dragon, and some of the dragon nobles near them overheard him too."An avatar? Isn't that a legendary technique? How did that human learn it? It's so unfair!""He's able to get through three challenges at such a young age. It doesn't matter if he fails the last level. He still has great potential.""What?! The Lightning Dra
"Wow, he must be a four-attribute mixed heritage dragon. Our ancestors sure know their way around women.""What? He's a four-attribute mixed heritage dragon and is half dragon and half human?""Tsk, tsk. What a powerful bloodline."The Lightning Dragon's words took on new life just as before, but he decided to ignore them.All three Lightning Dragon martyr spirits shot out lightning bolts instantly inside the arena but did not manage to hurt Chase's avatar. They decided to change tactics.One of the dragons blocked the avatar's attack while the other began a silent chant. A mysterious voice echoed in the arena, and a massive rune formation appeared on the ground. Lightning bolts began to gather there.A bolt of lightning thicker than the old dragons struck down and buzzed alongside the runes. After that, the bolt filled up the sky as it struck Chase and his avatar. Despite so many things happening, they all happened in a short second.Chase had never seen such a quick formation
However, the female Poison Dragon was starting to be convinced by the truth in front of her.The power of the four elemental dragons was on par with the arena's dragon martyr spirits of four attributes.At one point, the female Poison Dragon wondered if Chase had taken the defeated Water, Fire, and Poison-attribute dragon martyr spirits under his wing."I think he has unique techniques. It has nothing to do with bloodline."The Lightning Dragon said grimly, "His avatar is purely formed from vital energy, and he's able to convert and change easily between all four attributes' energy spirit. His speed also surpasses a superior cultivator."No ordinary man can do something like this. But we've never even heard of him before. He's most slightly from a top clandestine influential family or a sect from the upper realm.""The upper realm? Really?"The female Poison Dragon could not help exclaiming.They knew that their world had been split into the lower and upper realms because of th
As Chase had unlimited resources of vital energy, a small injury was nothing to him. He learned many tricks in close combat as the fighting time prolonged.The Lightning Dragon martyr spirits had no intelligence and could only repeat fighting modes and tactics.It was not long before Chase spotted their weakness, and things in the arena took a turn.The elemental dragons were initially on the losing end, but the fight soon came to a draw, and the elemental dragons eventually had the upper hand. Huge damage was caused to the martyr spirits when the poison elemental dragon managed to bite into one of them.The martyr spirits were eventually defeated. In the end, they vanished.Chase stared at the arena in the bright, sunny weather as he floated in mid-air. He stared right at Lightning Dragon, the world master."We won?"Down below, Lisa felt like she was dreaming. She remembered the fights in the Dragon Clan Trial usually lasted several days and nights. The first three rounds had
Fallon and Clara had passed the sixth level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore. They had brought along their trusted subordinates just to get the Dark and Light Emeralds.All they told their subordinates was to defeat the locals and monsters to get good-quality Dark and Light Emeralds, but they kept the truth about the Dark and Light Divine Pearls to themselves. They also kept their relationship a secret.Due to the gap in abilities, their subordinates were stuck with continuing their duties on the sixth level.After returning from the seventh level, they went to their respective bases after getting intimate.Fallon gave a cough to catch the attention of his first disciple, Clint Linman, who was training at the base."Master! Have you found out what happened to the sect?"Clint had been worried after finding out the news of several of their elders' sudden deaths via a messaging talisman. At the same time, he felt happy about it. Their deaths meant vacancies for their positions and
"Yes, Master. That mysterious young man's name is Chase Collins. These are our recordings of him."Clint transmitted all of Chase's information to Fallon.Fallon opened a random recording. The image was of Mystic Nefarious Priest's avatar fighting Chase. He did not pay much attention in the beginning. However, Fallon frowned again at the end of the recording."This man is really something."He commented as he watched Mystic Nefarious Priest's avatar escape from defeat."Did you say the women's names were Olivia Green and Hannah Jones? What do they look like?" Fallon remembered why Chase was here and asked the question.Clint immediately showed him their images."They're really beautiful." Fallon's eyes brightened at the sight of adorably pretty Olivia in a clean, white dress and the dashing Hannah. A lustful fire burned inside him."Where are they now?" he quickly asked."The women have been brought to the respective manors of both Supreme Elders." Clint took one look at Fallo
Tania once attended celebratory events held by other sects, only to encounter top-tier demonic beasts on the road. A brutal battle left her covered in wounds, and she missed the celebration entirely, offending the host.At that time, her master's resentment had already reached its peak.That thousand-year-old wolf demon became the last straw that broke the camel's back.Her master unleashed Emerald Lake Holy Land's most powerful technique—Radiance of Emerald, Eternal Slumber.Heaven and earth changed color the moment it was unleashed. The thousand-year wolf demon gathered all of its cultivation but still could not withstand the strike. It was reduced to ashes in an instant.Tania once thought that the gap between her and her master was not too wide and that she would rightfully inherit the mantle of leadership over Emerald Lake Holy Land within a century.Yet after witnessing that attack, she realized how wrong she had been. From then on, she started training harder and more dilig
Chase, who was standing directly in front of that sword strike, was equally stunned.Zacharias had been right!From that sword, he sensed the same divine intent as the one he had felt earlier in the clouds from that figure that resembled the Nine-Sea Giant Squid. It was evil, filled with pain and oppression, spreading boundlessly.Clive was indeed a projection—or a fragment—of Klondike!Chase's rage simmered down, replaced by a cold gleam in his eyes. This was the one who wanted to kill him?He was ready to strike back with full force. He summoned Greedy Wolf from the void, and his killing intent surged across the arena. The moment the blade appeared, it once again drew gasps from the audience.The overwhelming sword intent Clive had released earlier was instantly compressed and forced back by half as if it were afraid of Chase's blade. Then came the killing aura of Greedy Wolf. It was nearly tangible, sweeping across the hearts of every spectator.Earlier, Clive's sword aura had
Clive finally seemed to snap out of his daze."You brat, did you drug me?" he barked angrily, vaguely aware that something felt off. It was as if he had just taken a nap in the arena. His first thought was that Chase must have slipped him some kind of drug."If I had drugged you, would you still be standing there?" Chase scoffed at such a ridiculous accusation.That was true. If Chase truly had drugged him, Clive would probably already be lying unconscious in the rest area.Clive reluctantly accepted Chase's explanation for now."Let's settle this once and for all!" he shouted, raising his Heaven and Earth Sword as a boundless sword aura swept across the arena.Huh? His strength felt even greater than before. Clive grew smug with pride.Chase appeared completely unaware of his incoming strike.Rookie move, he thought. Chase must have been stunned by his sword intent and was now completely frozen.Clive was imagining it all in his head.Then, he shouted, "Boundless Heaven and E
As soon as Zacharias spoke of Klondike, Chase's sea of consciousness suddenly darkened.Chase was startled. He sensed a presence—some sort of power—watching him. He released his spiritual consciousness and swept the area but found nothing."That's Klondike's power. Just mentioning him will make you a target and draw his gaze," Zacharias warned. "I no longer have anything to lose, but you must be careful. If his true body takes notice, there's only one outcome—death.""It's too late. My master already has his eyes on you. Kid, did you not see what happened to Zacharias? I suggest you learn from it and—"Before Gideon could finish his sentence, an invisible chain shot out, binding his soul and sealing his mouth, leaving him completely unable to speak."You'd better behave. This is my sea of consciousness," Chase said coldly.The last time he struck Gideon with a bolt of lightning, it obliterated his soul, but Gideon had reformed using a portion of Zacharias' spirit. If Chase destroy
Chase had been wondering why it took Zacharias so long to wake up. Now that he was finally awake, why was he still so weak? More importantly, why did he immediately turn against his old acquaintance?What exactly had happened in between?"He's a fraud. The Nine-Sea Giant Squid and the Nine Sea Holy Sword are all projections or incarnations of that evil deity. All that nonsense about being fated with me was a setup—just a ploy to steal my divine foresight," Zacharias said as his spiritual form twisted like wisps of smoke, looking unstable and on the verge of dispersing completely."Evil deity? Projection? Are you talking about Klondike?" Chase asked, recalling the Nine-Sea Giant Squid he encountered on the fourth level among the Worthingtons as well as the so-called expert they summoned. He remembered they had mentioned someone named Klondike.Upon hearing Chase speak that name, Gideon visibly flinched in shock."So, you actually know?" he asked with a dark expression."My soul has
Fallon was a little speechless when he heard Ford's words.He had made up the whole "spiritual consciousness duel" thing on a whim, yet this kid delivered his commentary with such confidence and flair. It looked like he was a seasoned show-off too!Truly, the younger generation was not to be underestimated. Fallon could not help but let out a snort of laughter.Carla, standing beside him, transmitted a quiet message via spiritual consciousness, "Ford… isn't wrong.""What?" Fallon was stunned.In terms of soul and spiritual consciousness, Carla was undoubtedly one of the top experts in the nether realm. As someone who focused on physical cultivation, Fallon had always respected her spiritual skills.However, this so-called "spiritual consciousness duel" had just been something he made up.Even Carla had believed it was a lie earlier. Yet now, she was suddenly vouching for Ford, saying he was telling the truth?It really gave Fallon a scare."I made this up on the spot. Are you s
"Could they be rigging the match?""The reward for the Holy Path is at the martial god level. Would they fake a match for that?""It's exactly because it's a martial god-level reward that they'd rig the match, got it?""No way. I object. City Lord, these two are definitely up to something!"As Clive and Chase remained motionless for longer and longer, Fallon and Carla also noticed something was wrong.However, after scanning the arena with their spiritual consciousness, they did detect a clashing of energy between the two.After a brief moment of thought, Fallon spoke up. "Everyone, please calm down. These two prodigies are currently engaged in a rather novel type of battle—a spiritual consciousness duel. The fight between them is currently in a deadlock. A single misstep could mean complete annihilation of their souls."Only those whose spiritual consciousness is highly refined can perceive what's going on. So please, be patient and wait for the match to conclude."The crowd im
"Kid, if I hadn't deliberately transmitted my voice to you, do you think you could hear me?"Chase flinched. That voice had clearly echoed within his sea of consciousness. Could it be that Zacharias Crane had awakened?He quickly recalled the Seer of Whitepeak—the former elder of the Shadowless Sect whom he had subdued—and hurriedly searched within his sea of consciousness.Zacharias' soul still lay dormant."Heh, just as I thought. That old fellow is suffering too, hiding out inside you." The voice sounded pleased.Chase was completely stunned."Let me be honest with you. I'm the Nine Sea Holy Sword, Gideon. That Zacharias kid always bragged about being a peerless divine seer. But it turns out that even he couldn't escape his fate."As he spoke, a translucent figure materialized within Chase's sea of consciousness. He wore a gray robe and carried nine long swords on his back."Sir, and you are…"Chase was shocked. This man had entered his sea of consciousness silently. If he m
"That's no surprise. They're human too and have emotions. It's normal.""Aren't cultivators supposed to develop noble hearts as part of their cultivation? How can they allow such raw emotions to control them?""Well, not everything looks like it seems. The way they vent their emotions is different from us common folk."Chase looked exasperated while listening to the discussion below. He did not want to listen in on them. However, there was something about Clive.When Chase tried to sense Clive with his consciousness, he could sense an ordinary cultivator and an unfathomable cultivator who was as mysterious as a deep, black hole. It got him curious. Could this man have a split personality? Or was he possessed?Chase released his consciousness completely to be safe. This way, he could watch over every move Clive made.This move had also caused him to hear every unnecessary voice below the ring.Clive had no idea what Chase had done. All he knew was that a pair of mysterious eyes s
