"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 three black-clad men chasing Bolt laughed heartily.One even said, "Hahaha, are you talking about Basalt's Chief Collins?""You probably don't even know who we are. Since you'll soon be dead anyway, I'm not afraid of telling you that we're three of the Eastern Ocean Empire's Eight Heavenly Masters. This time, six of us have infiltrated Bactria to wipe out Basalt!""How dare a puny Basalt, especially Chief Collins, publicly kill our Eastern Ocean Heavenly Masters. It's unforgivable.""All six of us have come for him this time."Bolt was terrified to hear this. It was no wonder the six figures who intruded into the Basalt base earlier made it a mess within moments. Many ordinary Basalt members were also killed with just one move. They did not even have time to prepare firearms as the base was already covered in blood.Bolt had already broken through to first stage true master, and the others had also made breakthroughs, but they were no match for the six attackers. Having no
The man raised the curved sword in his hand as he slashed it down at Bolt’s head.Right at that moment, an authoritative voice was heard. “How dare animals like you create havoc in Bactria?!”A figure appeared following that voice.It was Chase.Besides working on Ira’s movie, he had been spending time with Olivia, Enola, Quinn, and the rest in Imperial Dragon Bay. He was spending his days comfortably, except for the fact that someone was trying to assassinate him every night.He had just finished shooting and was on his way home.Chase was reminded of Caspian’s casual remark about someone about to be killed.He did not think much of it at first, but upon closer thought, it was not a good idea that he owned half of South River City and was not aware of the killings within the city.That was why he came rushing over.Chase did not expect the person to be one of his men.He ran full speed ahead at the crucial moment and appeared right by Bolt right before Bolt was about to be k
“You’re Basalt's Collins?” All three men were in black. They were in Eastern Ocean spy outfits. “What if I am? Are you the Heavenly Masters from Eastern Ocean?” Chase asked coldly.“How dare you be so condescending toward Heavenly Masters?” One of the men was about to attack.“Calm down, Master Dupont. Let me say something,” another man stopped him and said.“We can kill you anytime like how we killed your predecessor, Collins of Basalt. Have you any idea who the people standing right in front of you are?”He pointed to the man on the left and said, “That's Master Dupont, one of Eastern Ocean’s Eight Heavenly Masters. As for me, I’m also one of the Eight Heavenly Masters. My name is Anton Smoake!“I’m offering you an opportunity right now, Collins. Come over to Eastern Ocean’s side with the entire Basalt and we’ll forgive you for killing one of our Heavenly Masters. You’ll even live in unimaginable fame and fortune if you swear loyalty to us. How about it?” Anton said proudly.
Bolt could not believe that he and the Heavenly Kings had tried to challenge Chase before! He stared at Chase’s back and suddenly felt a chill go down his back.“Let’s return to Camland!”Chase noticed Bolt in a daze and slapped Bolt awake.“Oh… Yes, Chief Instructor. Let’s return right now. We might still be able to save the rest of Basalt,” Bolt quickly said after snapping out of it.“Don’t worry. I can sense that they aren’t dead, but we have to hurry,” Chase said stoically.Since getting Cyclone, Inferno, Thunder, and Bolt to cultivate the skill he had shared with them, Chase began sensing them. He could tell their locations and determine if they were alive or dead even if they were thousands of miles apart. Chase could even kill them instantly if he wanted to.That was how powerful that skill was.They flew in the air speedily, and Chase eventually ditched Bolt because he found Bolt too slow. Bolt was left flying slowly behind while Chase transformed into a flash of light a
The thought of Green Dragon successfully infiltrating Eastern Ocean and killing one of their Eight Heavenly Masters sent a chill down Leon’s back. It was fortunate that the Green Dragon did not target him. He was a level weaker than the one who died.Leon would not escape the Green Dragon if he were targeted.It would be a worthy trip if they were able to kill Chase. It would be even better if they could kill the Green Dragon if they found the members here.Leon thought about this gleefully.That was when something happened. A figure slowly entered the door of the training ground.“Huh? Is there anyone still alive at the Basalt base besides the people here?” Leon saw the young figure coming in and thought it was a young member of Basalt. He immediately leaped forward toward the figure speedily to kill him with a palm attack.That figure was Chase. He had rushed from South River City to the Basalt base in Camland. Even he had to use a few hours to get here. There was a huge distan
"My gosh! How is this happening?!" The skeletal old man panicked. His soul energy sensed that heaven and earth's vitality seemed to be attracted by something when it was around Chase, and it flowed directly into Chase.Meanwhile, the brilliant glow of the sun appeared in the air behind Chase. It burned brightly and blinded those who saw it.A massive Divine Red Phoenix appeared and opened up its wings as it flew in the air. It was ferocious and had an air of danger about it."The Divine Red Phoenix?!"The sight of it put fear in the skeletal old man as his eyes widened. "Who exactly are you?!"Chase ignored him. He had formed into a golden-red phoenix and was emanating a terrifying aura in the air."Burning Sky Technique!"The temperature in the cave suddenly hiked up several hundred degrees due to the burning golden sun. Even the cave walls and ground were melted into lava that started to flow like a river.The skeletal old man screamed in pain as his body turned red instantly
Chase moved extremely fast. He appeared in front of the skeletal old man, who was about ten yards away, in an instant.They were fighting in close combat. Their hands and legs hit and kicked each other as protective energy flew about.Several muffled explosions were heard. It was difficult to determine the victor in this fight."You're at the end of your tethers, little bastard! You're about to die! I'm going to refine you and feed your soul to the Phantom Coffin. You'll be vanquished completely and turned into a part of my body."The skeletal old man held back his head and laughed wildly. His wounds were healing at an incredible speed.Chase's performance in this fight had angered him. He no longer cared about hiding his identity."You want to refine me? You're nothing but a ghost. Are you dreaming?" Chase sneered and suddenly lunged forward."Die!" Chase was quick as lightning as he instantly got close to the skeletal old man. He pressed his palm down on the old man's shoulder
A strange air of authority could be felt coming from him."How did this happen?"The skeletal old man's eyes widened, and his heart beat violently. He was trembling.Chase looked just like a demon king.He took a step forward. The earth and sky tremored as cracks appeared on the ground.Chase's physique suddenly expanded exponentially. His skin was bright red, and his bones seemed to be clanging. A strong dark blood energy flooded out from him.Chase waved his arms about crazily. Explosions went off in the air. Every punch he swung was followed by the terrifying sound of an explosion.The surface of the graveyard collapsed from Chase's savage strength.Chase crushed half the skeletal old man's face with one punch, and the old man's body flew off several yards away.Meanwhile, Chase was suffering from backlash because the true energy reserves within his body had erupted. Bloody arrows began shooting out of him."Only a little of my true energy is left!" Chase said sadly.Even
"You're pretty formidable for a young man. You were actually able to stop the spiritual resentments from going any further. You're a Collins, indeed!"The skeletal old man chuckled. "But that doesn't mean anything. You still won't be able to escape death today!"He crashed the Phantom Coffin viciously toward Chase.Chase grunted coldly and took a step forward. He evaded the Phantom Coffin.He leaped and flew into the air. Chase moved in the formation of an eight trigram and kept shimmering because of his high speed.Chase punched the Phantom Coffin continuously, and it flew off to crash heavily by the feet of the skeletal old man. He jumped at it and evaded the crash in a fluster."My coffin!"He was almost crying.The Phantom Coffin was his most valuable possession. It was built using more than a dozen rare and precious medicinal herbs. He had put a lot of effort into it, but Chase was treating it like a punching bag, denting it all over with his attacks."You're dead!" The s
"Swallow it!"Chase growled. His Sea of True Energy core began to surge and boil. It overwhelmed him like huge waves from the sea, and wisps of silver-white mist steamed from him. The mist gathered to his palm and wrapped the spiritual resentment within it.The silver spiritual spring was the liquid form of the Sky Spirit Energy's essence. It could purify the physique and enhance one's potential. It could strengthen the energy and blood within the body and increase one's cultivation talent."Swallow it!"The silver mist was like a huge vortex which slowly consumed the spiritual resentment.The minuscule purple crystal sword shuddered and tore itself away from Chase's control as it shot into the air above."How is that possible?" Chase's eyes widened. He was stunned.He could sense that the spiritual resentment he had worked hard for days to train had escaped his grip because of the Phantom Sword. It was even rushing toward the outer realm.Chase quickly used his mystical techni
As the runes on the Phantom Coffin began to glow brilliantly, a deafening explosion echoed through the air. A streak of ghostly green fire erupted from the coffin, surging toward Chase."What a dense ghostly aura," Chase muttered.Marais let out a crazed laugh. "That's the Phantom Flame! It burns the soul itself. You're doomed, boy! Your soul will be reduced to ashes!"The Phantom Flame was birthed from the condensed resentment of countless trapped souls and was a force of terrifying destruction.Once it latched onto its target, extinguishing it was impossible. Marais had spent centuries cultivating just a fragment of this flame. Now, using it against Chase was both his ultimate weapon and revenge."Have you finished rambling, you old fart?" Chase's cold voice cut through the air."What?" Marais froze, confused by Chase's tone."I asked if you were done," Chase repeated as his icy eyes locked onto Marais.Golden light radiated from Chase's body like a blazing sun. His hand lash
Chase paused, his expression shifting with curiosity."What's this?" he muttered to himself."Ha! Foolish boy, this is the Phantom Coffin, a weapon I painstakingly refined over decades!" Marais sneered. "This coffin isolates everything, even your spiritual senses. You won't be able to detect my presence!""Phantom Coffin, seal the souls!" Marais intoned while his hands formed seals.A massive black coffin materialized and descended like a storm cloud, enveloping Chase. In an instant, Chase felt his head grow heavy. His vision turned blurry, and his spiritual senses waver."Childish tricks," Chase scoffed as he activated his spiritual force.Yet to his surprise, his senses detected an eerie sight within the coffin—countless trapped souls writhing and roaring in an endless struggle, as if yearning to escape their imprisonment.'Impressive. It seems Secret Sect's elders are even stronger than I anticipated,' Chase thought grimly.He could tell that these souls, even if diminished,
As soon as Chase said this, he launched another strike.The battle between Chase and Marais intensified. Their moves shifted rapidly, and in a matter of moments, they had exchanged over ten blows without a clear winner."Hmm?" Marais' expression shifted to one of surprise."Your physical strength seems to have increased," he remarked. "It appears you've consumed quite a few rare treasures. No matter—it saves me the effort!"Marais' body trembled, his clothes billowing. From his frail form, skeletal branches grew like weathered wood, weaving into black armor. This was a secret technique that enhanced his defense and sped up his recovery."This body is too old," Marais admitted coldly. "Although it holds martial deity-level power, its lifespan is nearly spent. It's no longer fit for my cultivation."Only by devouring your flesh and blood can I replenish my vitality. Perhaps then, I can be reborn!"With that, Marais pushed off the ground with explosive force, hurtling toward Chase.
Chase let out a cold laugh."Do you think such petty tricks can scare me?"Before his words had faded, Chase leaped directly into the swarm of ghostly entities. Though these phantom tactics were far from ordinary, he showed no fear."Hehe…""Delicious…""Hahaha…""Feed us!"The ghostly figures lunged at Chase with terrifying cries and wails that pierced the air. It was chilling to anyone who heard them."Just a mere gathering of dark energy, and you think it can trap me?" Chase sneered dismissively.Golden light burst forth from his body, shining like a radiant star. As he wielded his golden spear, Chase swept it across the ghostly swarm in a move that generated a violent gust, scattering the ghostly entities.His hands moved swiftly, forming intricate seals. Two streams of true energy intertwined and coalesced into a spiraling drill."Break!" Chase roared, channeling his energy into the drill and slamming it into Achilles' forehead.Achilles' skull exploded instantly, his
