Chapter 1974

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
"Pathetic."

The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.

The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.

Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well.

"Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.

Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body.

"That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."

River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he

    Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b

    As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni

    In the CEO’s office of Blizzard Group in South River City, Quinn Norris’ eyes widened as she looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief. “What did you just say? You’re my fiancé?”“That’s right. Your grandfather promised your hand to me three years ago. This is the agreement. Read it for yourself.”The young man’s name was Chase Collins. He took out a marriage agreement and passed it to Quinn.Quinn wanted to die when she finished reading the agreement.She was sure that the agreement was real because it was the writing of her grandfather, Charles Norris. It was even stamped with his personal seal.Quinn took a deep breath. Her expression was cold as she asked, “Your name is Chase Collins?”“That’s right.Chase nodded. He could not help but stare at her.She had a beautiful face and nice, fair skin. Even though she looked tense all the time, she could still easily mesmerize men around her.Quinn was wearing business attire, which accentuated her voluptuous body, espe

    Quinn stared straight at Chase. There was an arrogant look on her face.Her secretary, Elaine Parker, looked at Chase in disdain. How could a penniless man like him be good enough for their CEO?“Sure.”Chase replied nonchalantly, “Although, that won’t be up to you to decide. This marriage was decided by your grandfather. You can wait until I’ve cured your grandfather so he can dissolve this marriage personally. If he's willing to do so, I will honor his decision.”Quinn felt even more disdain for him when she saw him refusing to give up. “I’ll be in charge of my own marriage. Also, I’ll figure out my grandfather’s situation. There is no need for you to worry about it.”She quickly scribbled on a check. “Here's a check for five million. If you’re willing to dissolve the marriage between us, this money is yours.“Five million is nothing to me, but for those in the lower tier of society like you, it’s enough for you to survive your entire life. I believe you won’t reject my offer.”

    Half an hour later, Chase found the Turners’ Residence according to the address given to him by the old man.Henry Turner, who was close to 50, smiled as he finished reading the letter given to him inside the living room. “It’s true. It’s the writing of that esteemed man.”“Now do you believe who I am, Uncle Henry?”Chase asked, “The old man told me that you asked for his help right before he died. He requested that I protect your family. Can you tell me what happened?”Henry sighed. “It’s like this, Chase. A business competitor wrote me a letter anonymously to tell me that he would kidnap my daughter.“I’ve hired five bodyguards for her, but she has been spoiled by me since young. All five of them have been chased off by her.“After giving this thorough consideration, I decided to ask for your master’s help.”Henry smiled at Chase. “Your master has given me the solution in the letter you brought me. You need to be my daughter’s fiancé. That will give you a good reason to protec

    “If that’s what you think, you can go ahead and buy what you need on your own.” Riley left after saying this coldly to Chase.Chase shrugged and walked away to hail a taxi by the road. “Take me to Emgrand Group.”Riley entered a Starbucks and sat down. The more she thought about it, the angrier she was. She took out her phone and sent a message to her chat group: [This sucks! This really sucks!]There were only five people in the chat group, and they were all colleagues who got along with Riley.It was not long before a woman named Anna Clayton replied to her message: [What’s wrong, Riley? Who upset you this time?][My dad found some random country bumpkin and made him my fiancé.] Riley finally found someone she could vent to.[What?][Woah! Are you for real?]The group chat immediately became active.[Why would I lie to you?]Riley typed angrily: [The worst thing about this is that my dad is making me get him a job at our company. My dad claims that it would be easier for hi

    “Sir, the Quaids had their eyes on the land of Green Hills Orphanage 12 years ago. They tried everything they could to convince the orphanage director, Gideon Hills, to give up the orphanage, but he wouldn’t budge. "In the end, they burned down Green Hills and grabbed the opportunity to take the land…“The Quaids later became one of the five elite families of South River City because of that land!“I’ve received information that the Quaids will be attending an auction three days later to bid on an emerald. Rumor has it that the emerald is a remnant from Green Hills Orphanage that is supposed to be magical.”Chase looked like he was ready to murder them. Sam felt as though an invisible pair of hands was strangling him, and it sent chills down his spine.“The Quaids have to pay for this!” Chase smiled, but there was a chilling look in his eyes.They had murdered 108 people in that fire for a piece of land.He immediately instructed, “Make preparations. I'll attend that auction in

    Quinn’s pretty face lit up. “Mr. Collins, I’d like to find out if the miracle doctor is as good as you say. Is he able to treat ALS?”She had asked this question because her grandfather, Charles, was suffering from ALS. It was known as one of the top five terminal illnesses in the world. ALS patients normally would only have three to five years to live.The symptoms included muscle atrophy, stiffness of limbs, and paralysis. It even affected the respiratory muscles, which would cause the patient to die of respiratory failure.Charles' condition was at the late stage, and he could die at any moment.“ALS?”Sam was taken aback. He replied seriously, “If it was some other doctor, there might not be hope, but it shouldn’t be a problem if it's the miracle doctor who treated me five years ago.”Quinn felt as though something had gone off in her mind, and her breathing got a little more ragged.If it were someone else, she would not have believed it. She might even think she was being

    Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c

    Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik

    "Pfft, what Saints or Saintesses? They're just titles. They don't have any real skills to speak of!""Exactly. These so-called Saints who suddenly emerged probably got their status through shady means. The moment they enter a duel, their real strength shows."Amid the chorus of cheers and congratulations, a few jarring voices remained, and one of them was Rania's. Although she was a social climber herself, hearing the crowd ridicule Clive after his defeat made her deeply uncomfortable."That's not true. Clive is not like that," she repeated again and again. Those were the only words she could manage.Several in the crowd recognized her as the one who accepted a gift from Clive earlier and began to mock her."She's the perfect example of a shallow woman. The moment she accepts a gift, she loses her sense of judgment. It's pathetic.""Right? The truth is right in front of her—Clive is just a big show-off with no real skills. And yet she keeps lying to herself.""Hmph. They really a

    Later, a certain senior of the sect discovered a secret technique of the Nefarious Spirits.It was to meditate on the image of a divine beast or an overwhelmingly powerful immortal being the embodiment of one's soul. As the level of visualization deepened, one's spiritual soul strength would grow accordingly.This method of cultivating Nefarious Spirits was a hybrid of corpse refining and body cultivation.However, while corpse and body cultivation focused on physical bodies, Nefarious Spirits cultivation trained the intangible—the spiritual consciousness and the mind and soul.After this discovery, they even improved the methods of refining corpses and bodies using it.When refining the body, practitioners would visualize fierce beasts like bears or wolves or celestial warriors, generals, and even gods. The subjects of their visualizations would match with their nature and temperament, making them their own Nefarious Spirits.Fallon's Nefarious Spirit was an ancient giant ape. It

    As for Fallon and Carla on the high platform, they clearly sensed that the ominous gaze from above had lessened significantly.Clive, who was facing Chase directly, also felt that his seemingly unstoppable sword strike had suddenly stalled in front of Chase. It could not push forward any further. This shocked him greatly.After all, even when sparring with his own master, he had never encountered this sensation. His master had even praised him for his good fortune after obtaining a peerless sword and for mastering a sword technique unparalleled in this generation. If not for the looming limit of his life span and the need to break through to gain more years, his master would have wanted to cultivate that technique himself.This sword strike, which Clive considered to be the culmination of all his understanding of the sword path, was the most perfect attack he had ever executed since beginning his cultivation journey.Even so, this nameless opponent had forced it back with a single
