Behind the three elders that Madam Snake referred to as the Three Voodoo Sovereigns were a huge group of Voodoo Cult members.Maidi must have used some sort of way to inform all of them about this before he died.“Hehe, it’s been a long time since we’ve walked this earth. It’s good to know that there are still people who recognize three old coots like us,” the elder in red seemed to be reminiscing as he said.The elder in black noticed Chase holding Quinn’s hand and said, “Give yourself up if you know who we are. There's no point in struggling to leave. Let the Saintess go and I’ll make sure I’ll leave your corpse in one piece.”That was when the elder in green noticed Quinn carrying Madam Snake on her back. He asked slowly, "You’re the wife of my useless disciple, aren’t you? Give up resisting us and I’ll beg for your mercy from the cult leader.” “Were you my husband’s master?” Madam Snake suddenly perked up and asked.“Yes, but there was only so much I could do for him. He kil
Chase did not need to be told as the venomous animals that appeared following the burst of energies informed Chase about them.The Cult Voodoo members quickly dispersed far away at the appearance of these animals. Even they were fearful of what they saw.A colorful snake hissed while a black scorpion raised its tail up high. It looked like it would shoot needles at any moment. Another colorful toad was puffing smoke.“Three marquises of martial arts will be fighting you at the same time, young man. You’re in big trouble right now,” Caspian taunted Chase in his mind. Caspian did not seem worried at all about what was about to happen.“It’s been a long time since I last saw the Three Voodoo Sovereigns fight. This is getting scarier.”“Yeah. I don’t think I’ll even be able to protect myself in a fight like this. Just watching this is scaring me enough to pee my pants.”“Come on, you pee your pants every day. You’re right, though. This is pretty scary to watch. Even the cult leader s
“Even though my cultivation has been destroyed, I still have my body. I’ll self-explode later to buy you time.”Madam Snake said this because she was prepared for the worst.If Quinn could disregard her safety just to travel millions of miles to save her, Madam Snake would not stand by and watch Quinn get devoured by those wolves. Quinn was like a granddaughter to her.“Goodbye. It’s time for me to see my real granddaughter now,” Madam Snake mumbled.Chaotic energy began to emerge from Madam Snake’s withered meridians.“No, Grandma Snake!” Quinn exclaimed. She was now a true master of martial arts. She could sense this aura and immediately understood what it meant.Chase moved fast. He knocked out Madam Snake with a chop to the back of her neck. Madam Snake fell limp and became unconscious.“Why won’t you believe me?” Chase shook his head before saying, “Watch her, Quinn. I’ll handle the rest!”Chase turned and went toward the middle of where the Three Voodoo Sovereigns were st
“Look! That can’t be… God's Palm, could it?!”Every member of the Voodoo cult witnessed this with shock. Their mouths were agape as it looked just like a scene from a movie.Oh no!The Snake Voodoo Sovereign and the Scorpion Voodoo Sovereign saw Chase aiming at the Toad Voodoo Sovereign and immediately realized that he was Chase’s target.They wanted to face the enemy along with the Toad Voodoo Sovereign but were unable to get to his side quickly under the intense pressure from the energy Chase was exerting. An explosion was heard next.There was a deep hole where the Toad Voodoo Sovereign was supposed to be. The Toad Voodoo Sovereign was gone.“Toady!” The Snake Voodoo Sovereign and the Scorpion Voodoo Sovereign exclaimed in unison. They appeared right beside the deep hole and looked down.Chase slowly flew up from the deep hole. A corpse in red followed behind as Chase pulled him up using true energy.It was the Toad Voodoo Sovereign.Chase flung his corpse at the remainin
When the Snake Voodoo Sovereign released her natal voodoo bug, Quinn clearly understood the intricacies involved more than Chase did.Glancing at Chase and seeing him nod, she controlled her own natal voodoo bug, the Golden Voodoo Silkworm, to slowly fly out.As soon as the Golden Voodoo Silkworm left Quinn’s body, the green snake began to struggle violently in midair, clearly aware of its grim fate as a voodoo bug.However, as the Golden Voodoo Silkworm approached, the green snake's struggles became fainter until the Golden Voodoo Silkworm bit into it.The green snake immediately wilted, prompting the Snake Voodoo Sovereign to wince and quickly retrieve the weakened creature.Once the Golden Voodoo Silkworm returned to Quinn, her body suddenly shook, and her aura burst forth uncontrollably."What did you do?!" Seeing this, Chase instantly flashed to the Snake Voodoo Sovereign's side, grabbing his throat in a lightning-fast motion.He demanded an explanation. He was even ready t
On the way over, with the Snake Voodoo Sovereign leading, all the poisonous creatures stayed well away."Kid, I suggest you leave now. The Voodoo Cult was already infamous in my time. The cult leader definitely isn't someone of a simple character. I'm afraid this might be a one-way trip for you!" Caspian advised Chase in his mind."No way. If I don't confront him now, that cult leader won't stop targeting Quinn. There's bound to be a fight eventually, and I can't avoid it forever. So I might as well face it now and eliminate the threat once and for all!" Chase was resolute, preferring to confront the danger now rather than let Quinn live in fear.Seeing that he could not dissuade Chase, Caspian fell silent.Soon, they could see a splendid palace nestled against a giant rock. It was lit by sunlight on the mountaintop, stunning in its brilliance despite its deep forest location."Snake Voodoo Sovereign, you've managed to bring the Saintess back. Where are the other two Voodoo Sovere
"Kid, run quickly! He's a stage-four marquis! You can't beat him!" Caspian warned in Chase's mind."Even if I can't beat him, I still have to fight!"Chase could not believe that the Voodoo Cult leader seemed to have anticipated their arrival. He was waiting right at the entrance of the hall. Their original plan for a surprise attack had completely failed.In this situation, how could he abandon Quinn and run for his life?He realized he had been careless. The cult leader must have sensed something when the Devouring Voodoo consumed the corpse earlier.Chase gathered his courage and asked, "Are you the leader of the Voodoo Cult?"The old man was not in a hurry at all and responded softly to Chase."I'm Ambrose Black. And I'm indeed the holy cult leader. How about this? If you surrender to my cult, I'll grant you the same status as the Three Voodoo Sovereigns. No, to be precise, your title will even surpass them. How about it?" The old man displayed an air of being in complete co
Chase then stood still, searching for Ambrose's figure.Seeing Chase stop his attack, Ambrose revealed himself not far from Quinn."Kid, your punches are barely passable," Ambrose commented nonchalantly. He looked like he still had some strength left."Hmph, barely passable? Say that in front of me again and see what happens! You're all just a bunch of trash!" Caspian grumbled, unable to stay silent when his ultimate skill was criticized."Kid, the reason you can't see through him is because, like that Martial Soul Hall assassin, he's a demonic cultivator! He used the ghostly shadows he absorbed to evade your attack!" Caspian explained in Chase's mind.A demonic cultivator!Upon hearing this, Chase immediately formulated a plan."Thunder!"At Chase's command, dark clouds gathered, and thunder roared."You actually know a thunder technique?!"Seeing this, Ambrose finally showed signs of panic. He unleashed his full stage-four marquis power, along with several ghostly shadows f
"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
