Myra sat next to Chase and placed her head on his shoulder. Meanwhile, she told Chase about her experience in the past years.“Is Alexander good to you?” Chase listened to her silently, occasionally asking questions.“He was very kind to me and regarded me as his child. Moreover, he also taught me military strategies and combat since I was young. However, those loved by God die young. He died from sickness half a month ago…” Myra said sadly.“Died from sickness?” Chase was stunned when he heard that.Myra nodded and continued, “After he died, I came to South River City so that I could find the opportunity to seek revenge for those who died in the fire. Then, I started noticing you…”As the two were chatting, Chase noticed Myra’s face turning pale and her body shaking slightly.“Myra, have you not recovered yet?”Chase's heart sank.Myra suffered from a strange illness when she was young. Occasionally, she would experience a terrifying chill that would torture her.Gideon hired
Chase carried Myra and turned to Scarlet. “Hurry, take me to Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No. 1.”“What are you trying to do?” Scarlet asked.“If you want to save Myra, you’ll do as you’re told,” Chase urged.Scarlet’s expression changed, and she quickly led Chase and Julia into the car.When they got back to the villa, Chase carried Myra to the third floor. Then, he said to Scarlet, who was about to follow them into the bedroom. “Watch the door. Don’t let anyone in without my permission.”Inside the room, Chase placed Myra on the bed. As he felt Myra's soft breathing, he murmured, “Myra, I won’t let you die. No one can separate us!”In the next second, he removed his shirt, displaying his scars.If others saw this scene, they would be beyond shocked.Chase was covered in scars, and it looked as if he had centipedes all over him.He already had these scars since he was young. They remained even after so many years of recuperation.Chase vibrated his energy and blood. Then, his b
“Sir, I’ll get my men to conduct a search now,” Sam replied.Julia immediately asked Chase the moment he returned to his room, “Chase, why isn’t Myra awake yet?Scarlet looked at Chase too.Chase said grimly, “Myra has exhausted her body all these years, and she’s on the brink of death. It'll be difficult to wake her up, and she won’t last long in this condition.”“What?”Julia almost passed out from his answer.Scarlet’s eyes reddened as she said, “Isn’t there any way of saving her?”“There is, but I need time. I’ll need you and Miss Julia to focus on taking care of Myra while I handle this,” Chase said.“Alright!”Scarlet took a deep breath and said, “No one can touch her while I’m alive!”Sam called Chase after half an hour, “Sir, we’ve almost gotten all the medical herbs you requested. We're currently missing two main herbs, which are the Centennial Blood Root and the Sky Spirit Flower.”“Aren't any of them found in the entire South River City?” Chase frowned.The Cente
Inside a dim and damp room, Quinn slowly woke up and found that her limbs were tied. Her mouth was gagged as well.She smiled bitterly and suddenly realized what was happening. It was not the first time she had experienced something like this.All she remembered was planning to head to Mount General Cemetery to meet Little Rocky. She had just gotten to her underground garage when someone covered her mouth from behind and she passed out.Quinn struggled for a while. She looked around her using the rays of light shining in from outside.There was someone next to her in the exact same situation.The look on Quinn’s face changed. She recognized that person. It was Bianca.What was Bianca doing here?Quinn was bewildered but made some sounds with her mouth while trying to move her body. She tried to wake Bianca up.Unfortunately, she was bound too tight and could not move at all.She got anxious and fell heavily to the ground.It was the sound of her falling hard that woke Bianca
“Didn’t I tell you before? Mr. Collins is a really powerful fighter. I was asking him for a lesson but I sprained my ankle. He was just carrying me back to my room because I was hurt. There was nothing else about it.“I wanted to explain things to you, but you turned and ran away before I could," Bianca said seriously.She paused before bursting out, “Quinn, I think you like Mr. Collins. How did you end up this way?”“I… I don’t like him at all. I already have someone else,” Quinn’s expression changed as she stammered.“Who is it? Tell me about him.” Bianca suddenly got interested.Quinn hesitated before saying slowly, “T-The person I like is Master Collins…”She said this and stopped herself.Bianca’s eyes widened as she gave Quinn a very strange look. She looked like she wanted to laugh but was trying her best to hold it back.Quinn decided to tell Bianca everything. “I wanted to tell you this for quite a while, Bianca. I grew up in an orphanage, and there was a little boy th
Bianca was prepared to die the moment Atlas took the shot.However, Quinn suddenly exclaimed from behind her.Bianca quickly opened her eyes and could not believe what was happening right in front of her.A green light had formed a shield in front of her like a force field. It blocked the bullet mid-air and stopped it from moving any further.The bullet fell to the ground, and the green shield in front of Bianca vanished.A loud crack was heard coming from her wrist.Bianca looked down and saw that the bracelet on her wrist had made that loud cracking sound. One of the six beads had exploded.“This is my birthday present from Mr. Collins!”Bianca was happy and surprised.She did not expect the bracelet Chase gave her to save her life at that crucial moment.Atlas was shocked by what he saw. He said in disbelief, “How is that possible? No, I don’t believe this!”He roared and continued pulling the trigger at Bianca. He made another two shots.When the first bullet was about
Quinn glanced at Bianca and noticed her carefully caressing the remaining three beads like the bracelet was a great treasure she had just discovered.She smiled bitterly, and her tears could not stop falling.She said inwardly, 'Sorry, Chase… This is all my fault, Little Rocky…'She could not wait to see Chase.It was because she wanted to make up for her mistakes……It was five in the afternoon when a plane disembarking from South River City safely landed at the Rochester Airport.Chase walked out of the plane alone and mumbled, “Am I finally here at Rochester…”His phone rang. The call was from Scarlet.“Mr. Collins, I have a distant relative at Rochester. She’s my cousin. Her name is Elena Warrington. I’ve informed her to wait for you at Gate 3 of the airport.“You can ask her anything you want to know about Rochester. I’ve already told her about you.”“Alright.”Chase hung up and headed toward Gate 3.A high-profile red Porsche 911 was parked at the side of the road ou
Kevin’s face turned red as he barked, “What the hell are you talking about?”He wanted to humiliate Chase, but Chase turned out to be even meaner than he was. Chase had called him a doofus and was even advising Elena to dump him. How could Kevin not lose his temper?Elena quickly smoothed things over. “That’s enough. Stop arguing.”She looked at Chase coldly and said, “My cousin said you’re here in Rochester for the auction tomorrow, am I right?”“That’s right,” Chase nodded and replied.According to Scarlet’s news, the Sky Spirit Flower and Centennial Blood Root would be auctioned off at this auction in Rochester.“Do you think you can attend the auction?” Kevin immediately sniggered and said, “I’ll be honest with you. You won’t be able to attend it because only those with an invitation will be able to take part in the auction.”“Invitation?” Chase frowned. Scarlet did not tell him about this.Kevin looked gleeful when he saw the look on Chase’s face. “I happen to have an invi
"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
Chase was the only person qualified to judge if there was murderous intent as he was the opponent in the arena.When Yara played the flute, it sounded like a beautiful melody from above the Ninth Heaven at first. If one listened closely, one could identify the vague signs of murderous intent.Chase scoffed at this. He thought it to be childish for one to hide murderous intent that way.He did not know music at all, but even he could tell what Yara was doing. Yara was looking down on him by doing this.When Chase was about to make his move, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the opponent. Chase was on a floating cloud above the Ninth Heaven in the illusion. It was just as Carla had said.He was initially flustered. How was he going to defend himself against the next killing move with such a powerful technique?While he was gathering all the vital energy within him, a sweet, melodious voice was heard. "Please don't retaliate, Mr. Collins. I bear no ill will."A tall, slen
"History scrolls don't really help with my cultivation. They make me drowsy every time, so I don't read them," Ford continued explaining without holding back. It did not seem wrong to him.However, his words made an impression on those listening.Ford was able to pick up the dragon clan's mystical techniques after reading them once. He even claimed it was not necessary to read them a second time. Was he even human? Oh, wait. He was a dragon. Tiana stared at him, not knowing what to say next.The Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land had not only fought with her talents yesterday but also with her hard work.When Tiana first entered Emerald Lake Holy Land, her master told her that her talents were upper-middle at best. She was considered extremely lucky to be accepted to the sect.Emerald Lake Holy Land was one of the top five sects in this world. It was second only to Sky Dragon Holy Land among the Four Holy Lands. Every disciple was the cream of the crop.Tiana grabbed attention t
Yara placed his flute to his lips and warned Chase, "I'll be making my move, Mr. Collins.""Please go ahead." Chase waved his hand casually and indicated for Yara to go ahead.It was the third round, and everyone at this stage was not to be underestimated. A powerhouse with a musical instrument for a weapon was rare. Chase looked forward to exchanging hands with him.The melodious sound of the flute was soon heard. All of the spectators could feel the atmosphere become more relaxed."Why is this Musical Technique non-lethal?""This can't be right. How did Yara Fries get into the third round? There's nothing formidable about this piece of music.""Is there anyone here who can explain?""He used his flute as a weapon in the previous rounds and knocked out his opponents with a couple of moves. He didn't play any music then.""Is he giving leeway to the opponent?""Could he be hinting at the opponent with his music that they're soulmates? They might end up being taken with each oth
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
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
"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
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
