“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
“That’s because you’re pretty weak to me!” Chase replied coldly.“You!” Cabe was in disbelief.That sounded ridiculous to Cabe as they were both marquises of martial arts. How could Chase call him weak?“By the way, I think you don’t know this, so I’d better explain this. I let you land that palm attack on my chest on purpose just to make sure that you wouldn’t realize that I had to add my blood into the formation to activate it. Did you really think someone from a despicable little country like yours could ever beat me?”Chase continued taunting Cabe.“Anyone can brag, Collins. That’s all talk from you. How about fighting each other for real?” Cabe looked murderous as he said furiously.“I know you’re just putting on an act right now because you want me inside the formation,” Chase said nonchalantly.Cabe immediately knew that Chase had seen through him. Anyone who could cultivate into a marquis of martial arts could not be stupid. Cabe decided to forgo the pretense. He stared
Chase walked over and slapped Aaron on the shoulder.“What an impressive Great Eastern Heavenly Master you are. Since you want to acknowledge me as your master so much, I’ll spare your life. Get out and go back to Eastern Ocean!”“Thank you, Collins. Thank you so much. I won’t forget you, Master,” Aaron stood up in relief when he heard this and left hurriedly.Aaron did not dare to leap off into the air for fear that Chase would kill him. He only leaped into the air after running out of the Basalt base.“I’ll make sure you pay back for this a hundred times one day and kneel in front of me for the insult I suffered today, Collins!”Aaron turned back to look at the Basalt base and swore to himself viciously.“Why did you let him off just like that, young man?” Caspian asked in Chase’s mind.“Don’t worry, Caspian. I’ve placed a restrictive mechanism on him. It doesn’t matter how far away he is, I'll be able to control his life and death with it. Only someone who has cultivated the
All three of the Heavenly Kings looked at each other and said nothing.Chase took one look at them and knew that they were probably too focused on cultivating to notice what was going on in Basalt. Otherwise, they would not have such reactions.“Get them both back there. Arrange a meeting once Bolt is back. I have something to say.”Chase vanished from where he was after giving them the order.“The chief instructor is getting more mysterious by the day.”…When Chase appeared again, he was on a street in Camland. There was a phone in his hand, and he was talking to someone on it.No one had any idea that the man who had just killed several Eastern Ocean Heavenly Masters was walking on the street like an ordinary man.“Tell me the truth, sir. What exactly happened with the Four Arms of Bactria?”“I have no idea what exactly happened either, Chase. All I know is that our superiors sent the Green Dragon to Eastern Ocean after you were appointed at Basalt. From what the Green Drag
It was embarrassing to say this, but Chase had accepted two disciples only to leave them be. All he did was give them a book to study a technique and he disappeared. Now that he was in Camland, he had to check on the results of his disciples’ cultivation.“Where did the two of you go today?” Chase asked casually.“We went to help out your wife, Master,” Iris quickly replied before Finn could say anything.“Huh? My wife? When have I gotten myself a wife?” Chase was bewildered.“Oh, I thought you were in a relationship. She told me she was your wife,” Iris quickly explained when she realized Chase was not joking.“Who are you talking about?” Chase asked.“Miss Kollins,” Iris quickly replied.It was Myra. Chase immediately knew that Myra was being cheeky again.“Oh, it’s her. Alright, enough with the chit-chat. Let me check if you've been lazy while I was away from Camland.” Chase changed the topic.However, it only made his disciples sure that there was something between him and
“What are you doing, Myra? What would you do if someone saw the Lady of Camland act this way?” Chase quickly evaded her.“It doesn’t matter. Can’t the Lady of Camland have someone she likes? Can’t she be a little childish in front of him?” Myra continued her attempt to jump into Chase’s arms without a care in the world.“Is that why you told Iris that you’re my wife?” Chase asked with a smile.Myra stopped what she was doing when she heard this and blushed instantly. After all, it was still too early to let his disciples know her as his wife.“Wow, Myra. I can’t believe that you’re feeling shy,” Chase said cheekily.The blushing Myra suddenly stood up straight unexpectedly. “It’s no big deal to tell her I’m your wife. We… We made a promise years before that we'd marry, Chase. Are you going back on this promise?”It was Chase's turn to be embarrassed. It took him a while to say seriously, “Myra, I’ve found our fourth and fifth sisters.”Myra immediately asked more questions when
Tania once attended celebratory events held by other sects, only to encounter top-tier demonic beasts on the road. A brutal battle left her covered in wounds, and she missed the celebration entirely, offending the host.At that time, her master's resentment had already reached its peak.That thousand-year-old wolf demon became the last straw that broke the camel's back.Her master unleashed Emerald Lake Holy Land's most powerful technique—Radiance of Emerald, Eternal Slumber.Heaven and earth changed color the moment it was unleashed. The thousand-year wolf demon gathered all of its cultivation but still could not withstand the strike. It was reduced to ashes in an instant.Tania once thought that the gap between her and her master was not too wide and that she would rightfully inherit the mantle of leadership over Emerald Lake Holy Land within a century.Yet after witnessing that attack, she realized how wrong she had been. From then on, she started training harder and more dilig
Chase, who was standing directly in front of that sword strike, was equally stunned.Zacharias had been right!From that sword, he sensed the same divine intent as the one he had felt earlier in the clouds from that figure that resembled the Nine-Sea Giant Squid. It was evil, filled with pain and oppression, spreading boundlessly.Clive was indeed a projection—or a fragment—of Klondike!Chase's rage simmered down, replaced by a cold gleam in his eyes. This was the one who wanted to kill him?He was ready to strike back with full force. He summoned Greedy Wolf from the void, and his killing intent surged across the arena. The moment the blade appeared, it once again drew gasps from the audience.The overwhelming sword intent Clive had released earlier was instantly compressed and forced back by half as if it were afraid of Chase's blade. Then came the killing aura of Greedy Wolf. It was nearly tangible, sweeping across the hearts of every spectator.Earlier, Clive's sword aura had
Clive finally seemed to snap out of his daze."You brat, did you drug me?" he barked angrily, vaguely aware that something felt off. It was as if he had just taken a nap in the arena. His first thought was that Chase must have slipped him some kind of drug."If I had drugged you, would you still be standing there?" Chase scoffed at such a ridiculous accusation.That was true. If Chase truly had drugged him, Clive would probably already be lying unconscious in the rest area.Clive reluctantly accepted Chase's explanation for now."Let's settle this once and for all!" he shouted, raising his Heaven and Earth Sword as a boundless sword aura swept across the arena.Huh? His strength felt even greater than before. Clive grew smug with pride.Chase appeared completely unaware of his incoming strike.Rookie move, he thought. Chase must have been stunned by his sword intent and was now completely frozen.Clive was imagining it all in his head.Then, he shouted, "Boundless Heaven and E
As soon as Zacharias spoke of Klondike, Chase's sea of consciousness suddenly darkened.Chase was startled. He sensed a presence—some sort of power—watching him. He released his spiritual consciousness and swept the area but found nothing."That's Klondike's power. Just mentioning him will make you a target and draw his gaze," Zacharias warned. "I no longer have anything to lose, but you must be careful. If his true body takes notice, there's only one outcome—death.""It's too late. My master already has his eyes on you. Kid, did you not see what happened to Zacharias? I suggest you learn from it and—"Before Gideon could finish his sentence, an invisible chain shot out, binding his soul and sealing his mouth, leaving him completely unable to speak."You'd better behave. This is my sea of consciousness," Chase said coldly.The last time he struck Gideon with a bolt of lightning, it obliterated his soul, but Gideon had reformed using a portion of Zacharias' spirit. If Chase destroy
Chase had been wondering why it took Zacharias so long to wake up. Now that he was finally awake, why was he still so weak? More importantly, why did he immediately turn against his old acquaintance?What exactly had happened in between?"He's a fraud. The Nine-Sea Giant Squid and the Nine Sea Holy Sword are all projections or incarnations of that evil deity. All that nonsense about being fated with me was a setup—just a ploy to steal my divine foresight," Zacharias said as his spiritual form twisted like wisps of smoke, looking unstable and on the verge of dispersing completely."Evil deity? Projection? Are you talking about Klondike?" Chase asked, recalling the Nine-Sea Giant Squid he encountered on the fourth level among the Worthingtons as well as the so-called expert they summoned. He remembered they had mentioned someone named Klondike.Upon hearing Chase speak that name, Gideon visibly flinched in shock."So, you actually know?" he asked with a dark expression."My soul has
Fallon was a little speechless when he heard Ford's words.He had made up the whole "spiritual consciousness duel" thing on a whim, yet this kid delivered his commentary with such confidence and flair. It looked like he was a seasoned show-off too!Truly, the younger generation was not to be underestimated. Fallon could not help but let out a snort of laughter.Carla, standing beside him, transmitted a quiet message via spiritual consciousness, "Ford… isn't wrong.""What?" Fallon was stunned.In terms of soul and spiritual consciousness, Carla was undoubtedly one of the top experts in the nether realm. As someone who focused on physical cultivation, Fallon had always respected her spiritual skills.However, this so-called "spiritual consciousness duel" had just been something he made up.Even Carla had believed it was a lie earlier. Yet now, she was suddenly vouching for Ford, saying he was telling the truth?It really gave Fallon a scare."I made this up on the spot. Are you s
"Could they be rigging the match?""The reward for the Holy Path is at the martial god level. Would they fake a match for that?""It's exactly because it's a martial god-level reward that they'd rig the match, got it?""No way. I object. City Lord, these two are definitely up to something!"As Clive and Chase remained motionless for longer and longer, Fallon and Carla also noticed something was wrong.However, after scanning the arena with their spiritual consciousness, they did detect a clashing of energy between the two.After a brief moment of thought, Fallon spoke up. "Everyone, please calm down. These two prodigies are currently engaged in a rather novel type of battle—a spiritual consciousness duel. The fight between them is currently in a deadlock. A single misstep could mean complete annihilation of their souls."Only those whose spiritual consciousness is highly refined can perceive what's going on. So please, be patient and wait for the match to conclude."The crowd im
"Kid, if I hadn't deliberately transmitted my voice to you, do you think you could hear me?"Chase flinched. That voice had clearly echoed within his sea of consciousness. Could it be that Zacharias Crane had awakened?He quickly recalled the Seer of Whitepeak—the former elder of the Shadowless Sect whom he had subdued—and hurriedly searched within his sea of consciousness.Zacharias' soul still lay dormant."Heh, just as I thought. That old fellow is suffering too, hiding out inside you." The voice sounded pleased.Chase was completely stunned."Let me be honest with you. I'm the Nine Sea Holy Sword, Gideon. That Zacharias kid always bragged about being a peerless divine seer. But it turns out that even he couldn't escape his fate."As he spoke, a translucent figure materialized within Chase's sea of consciousness. He wore a gray robe and carried nine long swords on his back."Sir, and you are…"Chase was shocked. This man had entered his sea of consciousness silently. If he m
"That's no surprise. They're human too and have emotions. It's normal.""Aren't cultivators supposed to develop noble hearts as part of their cultivation? How can they allow such raw emotions to control them?""Well, not everything looks like it seems. The way they vent their emotions is different from us common folk."Chase looked exasperated while listening to the discussion below. He did not want to listen in on them. However, there was something about Clive.When Chase tried to sense Clive with his consciousness, he could sense an ordinary cultivator and an unfathomable cultivator who was as mysterious as a deep, black hole. It got him curious. Could this man have a split personality? Or was he possessed?Chase released his consciousness completely to be safe. This way, he could watch over every move Clive made.This move had also caused him to hear every unnecessary voice below the ring.Clive had no idea what Chase had done. All he knew was that a pair of mysterious eyes s
