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
“Why did you throw in three useless things, you rascal?” Caspian immediately protested when three of them vanished just to appear not far from him.“I’m sorry, Caspian. Those three are my men. I’m worried I’ll accidentally hurt them if we start fighting. The only way to protect them is to hide them here,” Chase explained.Caspian did not object after listening to Chase. He only had one thing to say, “You won’t be able to defeat him when you only have half of your true energy left!”“I’ll still need to fight him. I have to kill him too!” Chase said murderously.“Then you’ll have to pay a little price for it,” Caspian continued.“What price?” Chase asked.“The price is a handphone for me. Get me one and I’ll give you a solution,” Caspian said with a gleeful look on his face. It was difficult to imagine that the Valiant King who was also known as the Boxing King could make such an expression.It was only because he had gotten to know Chase well.No one else would be able to see th
Chase and Cabe kept attacking each other. Meanwhile, Aaron had been physically blown away from the tremors of their fight.The entire place was destroyed due to their fight.Both men fought from the sky to the ground. The earth was shattered with numerous holes, and dust flew everywhere. It was not long before they were fighting in the air once again.Numerous explosions were heard from the fight, and after thousands of attacks against each other, Chase was suddenly hit right in the chest. He flew backward like an arrow shot out from a bow.He was coughing blood when he stood up, and there was finally some distance between him and Cabe.“Hahaha! I’m still better than you, Collins. You’ll pay with your life for the arrogance you’ve displayed. You refused to let me leave and made me stay, and now you’re wounded and not my match. You should die along with the entire Basalt." Cabe laughed when he saw Chase coughing blood from his attack.Cabe had won!Aaron was delighted to hear C
Cabe could not figure out the symbols even after staring at them for a long time.He waved Aaron over.“I heard that you have some understanding of Bactria’s formations. What formation is this and how do we undo it?!”Aaron had been studying the formation from the moment Chase activated it.He frowned at Cabe’s questioning. He gave it some thought before replying, “This is an Eight Trigrams Formation commonly seen in Bactria, but compared to the normal Eight Trigrams Formation, this particular formation is not used for attacking. "There are a few minor formations hidden within that are used to trap people. Activating any one of them will cause a chain reaction. I’m familiar with a few of them, but some of them have been modified—”“Cut the crap and tell me if you’re able to solve this!” Cabe interrupted Aaron.“I can probably do it if I have a few days,” Aaron replied timidly.“A few days? What’s the point of having you around?!” Cabe was within the formation and had nowhere t
What just happened?Willow and the others were completely confused."Let's go. It's all taken care of," Chase called out. With a wave of his hand, a portal appeared beside him.The Lightning Dragon King stood nearby with a forced smile, even making a welcoming gesture."Master, what's going on?" Walter, as the contracted beast, decided it was best for him to ask."I've negotiated terms with the Lightning Dragon King. We can go straight to see Lord Light Divine Pearl," Chase replied with a grin."What?!""Stop that. Move it. If you don't go in now, I'm closing the portal.""Alright, alright! We're going!"They then entered the portal one after another.Just before going in, Lisa curiously glanced at the Lightning Dragon King. This so-called world master, once so high and mighty, now stood like a doorman, ushering them into the gate.For the first time, Lisa realized what it meant when people said that the world was a fickle place. It was almost absurd.Once Chase and his gro
It was just a bit strange. Why would someone like the Light Divine Pearl himself stay tucked away in a corner of the nether realm, never stepping out? There had to be more to the story. Maybe there was some hidden reason?Chase knew he did not have enough information to figure it out right now, so he decided to let it go for the moment. It was better to deal with what was in front of him first."If you kneel before me, won't that grandfather of yours punish you?" Chase asked. His tone was a mix of curiosity, sarcasm, and something else even he could not quite place."He forbade me from addressing him with any honorifics. He just said if I lose, I should hand this thing over to the victor," the Lightning Dragon King replied. He looked genuinely sheepish for once.Chase took in a sharp breath.Forbade?That word carried a lot of weight. It sounded like these descendants of the Light Divine Pearl might not have the most glorious origins, after all. Maybe there was some dark, shamefu
Now, the Lightning Dragon King openly called the Light Divine Pearl by name. It seemed clear that the artifact's existence was known within a specific inner circle judging by how casually he spoke about it."Of course. In fact, I reincarnated from the upper realm. Starting from the seventh level, any creature with intelligence basically knows about the Light Divine Pearl," the Lightning Dragon King explained to Chase."Then why are you so sure that this pearl is useful for me?" Chase asked."Your strength is far beyond mine. That alone is something no native of this realm can possibly achieve. And from how indifferent you've been toward the Dark and Light Emeralds yet so determined to push upward, it's not hard to guess that you must be an outsider."Actually, there were already several groups who came before you," the Lightning Dragon King said with a sigh."Several groups?" Chase raised his eyebrows in surprise.Yet almost immediately, the realization hit him. In the nether rea
The viewing stands of the arena fell into complete silence.Not only the dragons but also the other spectators from different races—many of whom had already moved far away and were ready to bolt at any moment—froze mid-motion.The dragons had ruled this world for thousands of years. Yet now, the world master, ruler of both the realm and the dragon race itself, was kneeling before a human boy barely past his novice years.Was this something anyone expected to see in their lifetime? Not even in their wildest dreams had they imagined such a scene.The shock this brought was no less than taking a full-force hit from the Lightning Dragon King himself.In the main grandstand, the female Poison Dragon stood with her mouth agape. When she finally tried to close it, she realized her jaw had become dislocated. It took her quite a bit of effort, even requiring her vital energy, just to snap it back into place.Holding her cheek, she still could not speak. Was this really the Lightning Drago
The female Poison Dragon stood on the main viewing platform, utterly stunned.Although she had already felt a bad premonition the moment Chase seized the momentum from the Lightning Dragon King, she still could not accept it when that premonition became reality.The Lightning Dragon King—once the embodiment of invincibility in her mind—could not even land a single hit on this unknown human. It shattered everything she thought she knew about the strongest combatants.Could this nobody actually be a visitor from the upper realm? However, did they not say he was from Earth, a place completely barren of spiritual energy?Her heart was filled with doubt and unease. What if this guy actually ended up taking the world master's title?If that happened, it would be a catastrophe for the dragons.She knew, deep down, just how much wrong they had done over the years. Calling it 'corruption' and 'tyranny' would have been putting it mildly.If a reckoning truly came, most of them would not b
As for the last Water Dragon, Lisa, she was completely overshadowed. No one even spared her a glance.Lisa herself had no time to care about how others viewed her. She knew her own strength—or lack thereof. As a small fry, she clearly understood her limits.She absolutely could not defend herself when facing the Lightning Dragon King's strongest attacks. She had to rely on Chase and the others.Hence, she merely revealed her true form, then deployed her vital energy shield and defensive treasures. After that, she huddled behind the others, trembling with fear.After a long charge-up, the Lightning Dragon King launched his attack. Electricity sparked in his eyes, and divine thunder rumbled in his mouth."Die!" he bellowed.With that thunderous roar echoing through the sky, countless thunder balls rained down like hail toward Chase and the others. Electric light flashed, and thunder boomed across the arena. Most spectators could no longer see or hear clearly.The scene was so inte
The Lightning Dragon King knew he could not let Chase go on like this. He immediately activated Electric Eyes.Spheres of lightning circled around him, and bolts of electricity flickered fiercely. The thunder, which had previously faded, now roared once again throughout the arena.This time, the lightning was no longer in the sky; it surged entirely around the Lightning Dragon King himself. His momentum returned in an instant."Well done, Lightning Dragon King!""He's truly worthy of being the pride of our clan!""He's the glory of the Lightning Dragon bloodline! The other branches should stop trying to take credit. The Water, Fire, and Poison martyr spirits were all beaten like dogs earlier. It's now up to our Lightning Dragon King to reclaim our dignity!""Oh please, didn't the Lightning Dragon martyr spirits also get defeated by this guy? The Lightning Dragon King is strong because he's strong, not because of you nobodies in the Lightning Dragon line.""Exactly! When we lose,
Although Lisa was a dragon herself, she had long suffered under the oppression of the Poison Dragon branch. The Lightning Dragon King had never made any effort to investigate or deliver justice.She had come to see the true nature of the dragons for what it was because of this. They were just a bunch of selfish tyrants carving out their own kingdoms by relying on brute strength. Any illusion of nobility had long since crumbled.After witnessing Chase step up for her, her admiration for humans only deepened. Now, she felt nothing but shame as she listened to the audience spew insults, threats, and jeers at Chase. She was ashamed to be one of them.The Lightning Dragon King watched as the audience reacted to his dramatic entrance. He was reminded of his own noble identity and felt extremely satisfied.If Chase's influence was allowed to grow any further, his chances of retaining his role as the world master would shrink by the day.Now, the tide had halted. He decided to strike whil
Yet Chase had actually passed four levels in just one day. His strength was so formidable that it almost defied belief."Where is he from? Which sect does he belong to? Why have I never heard of him before?" Carla frowned and asked."He came from Earth. Apparently, he's here to look for his sisters," Sierra replied.Though she was not powerful herself, the Evil Shadow Sect excelled in mind and soul techniques. They were experts when it came to tracking and gathering intelligence. She had managed to dig up quite a bit of information."Earth? That trashy place? Its power level has always lagged behind the nether realm. How could a top-tier cultivator suddenly emerge from there? And what kind of excuse is 'looking for his sisters'? Unless…"Carla suddenly thought of something."Is there something special about his sisters? The only ones who need special women are from the Nefarious Deity Sect. They're good at corpse refinement and often need bodies with rare constitutions. Besides,
