Chapter 560

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
Chester was a second-stage true master, and he already dominated everyone present. Not to mention, he had a brother who was the master of the Martial Arts Alliance. Even if someone was oppressed and resentful, they had to grit their teeth and stay silent.

Chester let out a frustrated grunt, but he remembered that this was his own birthday celebration. If he caused a scene or a bloodbath right there, he would be giving his enemies an advantage. Hence, he suppressed his anger and slowly sat back down.

"The Huntington family sure is thoughtful. I'll accept it!" Chester replied sharply. Immediately, a maid from the Shelman family came forward to take the gift.

"Chitara's leader has sent a painting by Albert Bierstadt. He wishes Master Chester as many splendid years as this day!"

"The prominent Bateman family from Chitara has gifted Master Chester a mansion in the city!"

What followed was a procession of gifts from dignitaries, diluting the previous discomfort as if it had been m

    "Oh my, is that Master Callum of the mysterious Martial Arts Alliance? He's a legendary figure! We finally got to see him in person today.""We did see him in person. But why do I feel like even now, as I'm looking at his face, I might forget it the next moment?""Right? I have the same feeling. It's so magical. No wonder he's only spoken of in legends.""You guys don't understand. It's said that Master Callum has cultivated to an indescribable level of power. No one in Chitara is his match. And his cultivation technique, the Great Void Technique, is truly unmatched. It's natural for us with ordinary martial skills to forget his face."The crowd was amazed."Callum, it’s rare for you to make time to come here today. Let’s catch up later," Chester called out to Callum. He then invited him to take the seat of honor."Today is your birthday. Don't mind me. I'll sit for a while and then leave," Callum replied to his brother with the same tone.Knowing his brother was a staunch culti

    "So it's you, Chase. You truly are courting death to show yourself here. Did you kill Jasper too?" Chester questioned Chase even before Callum had a chance to speak."I would've liked to, but unfortunately, Jasper didn't die by my hand," Chase replied truthfully.The real cause of Jasper's death was his attempt to reveal the truth from years ago, which triggered a deadly restrictive mechanism. It was a form of suicide!"And my son?"The heads of the Cook and Powell families seized the moment to interject.Chase simply turned and gave them a cold look. He did not reply."Chase, today is my birthday celebration. Whatever it is, it can wait until after today," Chester intervened, seeing that Chase did not seem to be lying."I've made myself clear. I came here today to claim lives," Chase responded with a dismissive smile. He sensed that a resolution was unlikely.Callum then took over the conversation. "Enough. Where are the people from your sect? Call them out. You alone are not

    Chase gazed at the approaching Christopher and coldly stated, "You're the one seeking death!"The next moment, he, too, threw a punch to meet Christopher's attack.A blast of air flipped all the tables and chairs in the inner hall, causing everyone to stagger. Before the crowd could stabilize themselves, a series of rapid thuds echoed."It's over! He has fallen into Christopher's dominant intent. His defeat is only a matter of time.""Indeed. To think that South River City's Master Collins could exchange so many punches with Christopher! Even if he dies, his fame will spread far and wide.""That's true. Though dead, he'll be honored. Even the other heads of the four great ancient martial arts families would face defeat when caught in Christopher's dominant intent. It looks like Master Collins doesn't fall below these four great family heads. It's terrifying, indeed!"Contrary to the outside discussions, Christopher, who was in the middle of the battle, felt utterly frustrated.A

    Many people had already stopped watching and were no longer curious about the outcome. Instead, they were expressing their regrets. Whenever Callum took action, it usually signified the end. Not to mention, it was not just Callum this time; Chester had joined in as well. The situation was terrifying.…"You think you can save someone who's fully in my grasp? You don't even consider who you're up against!" Chase glanced at the flying Shelman brothers but did not take them seriously.To others, it seemed like just a moment. Yet for Chase, it was enough time to do a whole lot of things, like deliver a powerful punch in defense.Chase's figure barely shifted on the spot, yet he managed a direct punch to Christopher's face, smashing his entire visage into his brain.At Christopher's final counterpunch, a bluish shadow suddenly appeared beside Chase. Christopher's punch crumbled from his fingertips. From the wrist to the arm, his limb was breaking inch by inch.The blue shadow not

    "Hmph, if I had known this day would come, I should've gone to South River City myself to kill you personally instead of just setting the fire!" Callum said in a glum tone, having realized something at that moment."So it was you!" Chase's intent to kill surged upon hearing this.Even if the perpetrator was from the Shelman family, it did not mean that every member of the family played a role in it. However, Chase had confirmed his suspicion—everyone in the Shelman family was in on it.A chill spread across the venue, turning the sunny noon into a semblance of deception. It was hard to imagine how intense a person's killing intent could be to feel this palpable.Chase recalled the faces of his siblings from Green Hills Orphanage and the kindly, gentle face of the old director. The pain intensified. He realized that he was the cause of the tragedy.In the next moment, his figure flickered, and a member of the Shelman family fell dead beside him. With another flicker, another member

    “One, two, three…”He counted the people surrounding both of them.“Only six are left. Chester Shelman, tell me the truth of what happened back then or this is the end of all the Shelmans!” Chase said coldly. There was a murderous rage about him that convinced everyone Chase would go through with his threat.“Stop dreaming, Chase Collins. You don’t need to worry about it. I'll never reveal the truth even after I’m dead.” True energy began emanating around Chester, and it could be felt around him. This was because of the distinctiveness of the Great Void Technique.“You'll pay with your life for what you did to the Shelmans today, Chase Collins!” Chester’s eyes had turned red like a wild beast from looking at what was supposed to be his birthday party at Shelman Residence. It was now a bloody scene. Both of their true energies vibrated, one light and one dark.However, Chase ignored this.A figure flashed passed, and another person out of the six people on guard fell.“Flint!”

    The first person Chase approached was Chester. Despite them being just a few steps apart, Chester was already at his limit and could barely stand, much less attack Chase.As Chase slowly approached him, Chester began to bleed out of all his orifices. If he continued being defiant, he would die!He had to kneel if he wanted to live!Even his older brother, Callum, did not give Chester a glance, much less Chase.“It doesn’t matter that I’m not your match, Chase Collins. Even if you destroy the Shelmans and become terribly powerful, you’re still nothing in front of that person. Hahaha!” Callum seemed to have thought of something and burst out laughing.Chase could not help thinking that Callum must have gone crazy when he saw how he was laughing in such a situation.While Callum laughed, Chester could no longer take the pressure. He plopped down on his knees.“Don’t you understand, Chester? He won’t let us live even if you beg for mercy on your knees,” Callum said with grief.Chas

    “I promise you, Enola, that I’ll still support your career in the entertainment industry after we’re married.”Enzo got down on one knee and presented an exquisite box to her. It was clear that it was a proposal ring.“Don’t do this, Enzo. You know that I’ve always treated you as my older brother. You’re just a brother to me!” Enola stumbled a few steps back when she saw this.“Is this because of Chase Collins? Stop wasting your time on him, Enola. He’s not coming back. He’s dead!” Enzo got up and moved in closer to her.“What do you mean? What happened to Chase?” Enola quickly asked when she heard the news about Chase.“It is because of him. What’s so great about him? He’s just a hothead, Enola. He offended some powerful people in Chitara, and he’s about to die for that. He won’t be coming back,” Enzo said without beating about the bush.“Come back to me, Enola. Come home and be the little princess of the Langdons, alright?”“Stop it, Enzo!” Enola moved back further.“Don’t be

    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

    "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
