The moment Chase's words hung in the air, all the bullets whizzed back the way they came, only faster. In an instant, everyone who had shot at Chase was on the ground, not moving.Jaxon's last thought was pure shock. The master of the Martial Arts Alliance was gone too?That explained why he had not been able to reach him for days.At this moment, only Zara and Enzo were left standing in the chaos. They were frozen with fear at the sight of the carnage."Chase, please let me go! It was all his idea!" Enzo whimpered, pointing at Jaxon's still form. He was begging for mercy. Seeing that Chase did not budge, Enzo scrambled over to Enola. "Enola, my sister, help me! Don't let me die!"Enola just shook off the hand on her leg and turned her back. She had lost all hope in him. Zara, too, finally begged. She ignored the mess on herself as she crawled from among the fallen."Enola, help me out. I'll give you everything I have. I'll even work for you and do anything you say.""Chase, you
Chase did not seem too bothered as he said flatly, "I won't leave. Ask them to step aside and I'll talk to you privately."Jules immediately lost his temper when he heard Chase's answer."How dare you? Chase, what do you think human life is? Talk? Even if the king himself were to come today, you'd have to come with us.""How troublesome." Chase sighed as he took out a purple token and tossed it to Jules.Jules caught it and took a look. Though the intricately carved nine dragons were lifelike, he had no idea what it was. Jules was still puzzled after examining it for a while."What's this?" Jules asked in confusion."You don't recognize it? That just means your rank is too low. How about this?" Chase replied, pulling out a golden item and tossing it over. It was the King Defeating Golden Mace.Chase casually tossed the King Defeating Golden Mace, which was capable of taking down corrupt officials and generals, to Jules. Jules looked equally confused. Chase realized Jules did not
"Besides, the opportunities you've encountered are things others might not come across in a lifetime. Just my space alone in the Dragon Vein Secret Realm is far superior to Martial Soul Hall's secret realms. Don't ignore your good blessings. And don't forget how you can enter and exit this realm at will. "Do you know how many people will come out of their coffins looking for you if word of this gets out?" Caspian was jealous. The thought of Chase casually carrying around a secret realm he had spent his life pursuing filled him with fury. Caspian fell silent after saying that."Get in here and start cultivating once you're done!" His angry voice made Chase know he was in trouble.Previously, when Chase absorbed the fire crystal to break through, his true energy surged uncontrollably. It was Caspian who had intervened to guide him through the crisis, preventing him from exploding and dying.Several days later, Caspian helped Chase strengthen his cultivation, acting as his sparring p
"South River City? Our film crew is going there in a few days. Let's go together. And Chase's from South River City, so he can lead the way and be our guide." Enola immediately suggested going together when she heard that Olivia planned to go to South River City.Olivia looked at Chase.Chase recalled Ira's arrangement and remembered that the next filming location was indeed in South River City, so he instantly added, "Stay for a couple of days. We can all go to South River City together, and I can show you around."Olivia finally agreed to stay.After dinner, Chase had a sudden thought and vanished. He was in the Dragon Vein Secret Realm when he reappeared."Collins, you're finally here." A voice rang out as a fist came flying toward him. Without a second thought, Chase knew that it could only be Caspian.Chase immediately unleashed all his might to defend himself. He was gravely injured with one punch and defeated with two. His body disappeared into dust."Why are you so angry
Someone then saw the Kingpin of South River City, Sam, waiting in the front row."Gosh, isn't that the Kingpin of South River City? Why is he here? For someone like him to be waiting here, just who is the person he's waiting for?"...Chase, Olivia, and Enola followed Ira out of the airport, immediately attracting a swarm of reporters who eagerly took photos of them."Look, Mr. Perkins did bring the entire crew to South River City for filming! I thought it was fake news when I saw it online. I just came to the airport to try my luck. I didn't expect it to be true!""If Mr. Perkins is here, then Enola must be too. Enola! Enola!""Chase must be here as well. Chase! Chase!" When there were reporters, there were fans. The place was instantly chaotic with Enola's male fans and Chase's female fans cheering loudly. Due to Chase's role in Asher's drama last time, Chase's popularity was now on par with top-tier celebrities."Mr. Perkins, you... I told you we should come secretly. You d
"Chief, your friends are my friends. Come on, get in the cars!" With Sam's command, the ten cars slowly started to leave the airport.Chase, Enola, Olivia, Sam, and Ira were in the leading Maybach."Chief, you have no idea that you're now more famous than any celebrity," Sam said enthusiastically while looking at Chase, whom he had not seen in a long time. "When I saw you on TV, I could hardly believe it. But I'd never mistake your face. I've even become the moderator of your fan site."Chase was taken aback. "What do you mean the moderator of my fan site?"Seeing Chase's curiosity, Sam eagerly pulled out his phone, opened a website, and showed it to Chase. "Chief, look. This is a website your fans set up just for you. It's constantly updated with your latest news. I'm a moderator on this site."Chase looked at the numerous posts and photos, instantly feeling speechless. He had a fan site and did not even know it."Sam, it seems you've been very free lately," Chase said lightly
The car ride was silent. With Olivia and Enola both visibly preoccupied with their thoughts, Chase decided it was not the right moment to ask questions.Soon, they arrived at Mount General Cemetery."Master Collins, please wait here for a moment. We need to pay our respects to my master," Olivia said and stepped out of the car with Enola. She even carried a seemingly heavy black handbag."Okay," Chase replied and watched them walk away. He left the car parked on the roadside and secretly followed them.Olivia stopped in front of an unnamed tombstone."Olivia, is this where your master rests?" Enola asked."Yeah, this is the place," Olivia said and set down the black handbag she held. When she opened it, there was a severed head inside—Derrick's head.'Oh, she's using the same methods as me,' Chase thought. He instantly found the scene interesting as he watched from a distance."Master, I brought the one who hurt you." Olivia placed the head and buried it in front of the tombsto
"Olivia, Enola, is it really you?" Julia asked with teary eyes.Chase remembered Julia, so it was no surprise that Olivia and Enola remembered her as well."Miss Julia!" they called out in unison as they rushed forward to embrace her. The three of them hugged each other.They finally reunited after a long while. "Miss Julia, what are you doing here?" Enola asked joyfully."It's all thanks to Chase. Otherwise, I'd probably still be in a mental hospital," Julia explained her recent experiences briefly.Hearing Julia's story, Enola turned to Chase and said, "Thank you, Chase."Julia smiled and said, "You were so sharp as a child. Why haven't you realized it yet? You're treating him like a stranger!"Hearing Julia's remark, Olivia and Enola looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion as they thought, 'Could it be?'"He's your Little Rocky." Julia's voice rang out from the side.The two were instantly stunned, and their mouths hung open in shock."Chase, you're Little
The giant dragon opened its mouth and unleashed wave after wave of green toxic mist. Each of the vital energy dragons was instantly stained.Although they dealt considerable damage to the dragon in return, the deeper the green seeped into them, the faster they deteriorated.The water, fire, and lightning dragons were gradually corroded and eventually vanished into the air. Only the white vital spirit dragon remained—and it grew stronger with every exchange.The dragon was stunned.It discovered that every poisonous wave it spewed was being neutralized by that white dragon. Although each instance of purification dimmed the dragon slightly, it was clear—even if it exhausted every last drop of stored venom, the white dragon would still remain standing.However, that was not the worst part.Down below, that human man kept mimicking the motion of throwing a javelin—again and again. And yet, it never saw the actual javelin fly.At first, the dragon thought it was a joke. Then came the
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
"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
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 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
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
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
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
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
