"Isn't your demand a bit excessive?" the vendor's tone turned cold."How about I catch up to Mr. Hawkins over there and tell him the recipe is fake?" Chase said softly with a slight smile.Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the vendor immediately calmed down. His face broke into his signature smile once again."Please don't do that. I'll admit defeat this time. I'll tell you the truth. Actually, it doesn't matter if you know this. Element Nurturing Pills can't be made by ordinary people because one of the ingredients is only available in the top sects," the vendor explained reluctantly."What herb? And why is it only available in the top sects?" Chase pressed."It's a spiritual herb that requires the irrigation of true energy by a Valiant King-level expert—the Green Bagger," the vendor revealed.Upon hearing this, Chase immediately understood. It was no wonder Element Nurturing Pills were only circulated within the top sects. It made sense now."Which sect do you belong to? T
As Clay prepared to strike, Chase spoke up again, "Aren't you curious about who I am?"Clay instinctively asked, "Who are you?""My name is Chase Collins."Upon hearing this, laughter erupted.Not only did Clay burst into laughter, but Tristan and the others behind him laughed as well. Clay laughed so hard he struggled to catch his breath."Tristan, did you hear that? He says he's Chase Collins.""Haha! If he's Chase, then I'm the hall master of the Martial Soul Hall."Even Linus, who was tied up, could not help but laugh."Fellow cultivator, you should run while you can. Now's not the time for jokes. Save your life!"Chase did not get angry. He just stood there, quietly watching the men laugh.After a few minutes, they finally stopped laughing."Kid, you're really amusing. Here's the deal. I won't trouble you anymore if you leave the beauty beside you to serve me. How about that?" Clay revealed his true intentions.From the moment he first saw Olivia at the market, Clay ha
Facing Chase's cold gaze, Tristan still did not sense the danger. He thought Chase was just putting on a show and would not dare to kill them."You’re really Chase? I’m an official of the Martial Soul Hall, sent here to maintain order in this market. Let’s just call it a day. Leave us be and I can put in a good word with the hall master to let you off tomorrow..." Tristan was still relying on his identity as he continued to speak. Suddenly, his entire body exploded, and his voice was abruptly cut off.Chase had no interest in listening to Tristan's nonsense. He unleashed his aura, and Tristan's body burst instantly.Chase coldly remarked, "As an enforcer of order, you not only failed to distinguish right from wrong but also acted as an accomplice. You deserve to die!"Clay panicked upon seeing Chase actually dare to kill someone. After being splattered with blood, he wiped it off his face and quickly began to plead for his life."Master Collins, you can't kill me. I'm the prodig
In the ancestral hall deep inside the Hawkins' residence, the patriarch of the family, Carson, spoke up, “What’s going on, Uncle Alf?”“Clay is dead!” Alf replied when he saw that it was Carson.“What? My son is dead? How is that possible? He had many powerhouses by his side during his trip to Joverton. How did this happen?” Carson was in disbelief. “Did you make a mistake, Uncle Alf?”“It’s not a mistake. The token representing Clay just fell inside the tower.” Alf flung a token out. Clay’s name was on it, and there was no more light on it. All that was left on it was dried blood."The Blood Essence Tower can’t be wrong. The blood of the Hawkins’ line has been condensed in it. The Blood Essence Token will fall from the tower only after its master has died. Clay’s token has just fallen from within the tower.”Carson was forced to admit that his son was dead when he saw the token."Uncle, Clay is your favorite nephew. You have to avenge him.” Carson was furious yet sorrowful. Alf
Chase did not look interested, and Linus spoke up once more, “If you join the Esoteric Medical Sect, I can even put a stop to your duel with Martial Soul Hall. After all, the Esoteric Medical Sect still has some leverage in the cultivating world.”His words finally got some reaction from Chase.Was the Esoteric Medical Sect that renowned?"Take the offer, young man.”Caspian suddenly spoke up in Chase’s mind."Why?”"The Esoteric Medical Sect can open lots of doors for you in the medical world. They have a good relationship with many clandestine sects because almost all of the pills in the cultivating world come from the Esoteric Medical Sect. Every time they refine pills, the cultivating world will fight over them. "I used up half my fortune back then just to get a pill from the Esoteric Medical Sect. I heard that all you need is one word to get a pill if you’re part of the sect,” Caspian explained.Chase’s interest was piqued when he heard this from Caspian.The price of pi
The trailer of the movie was released with Enola’s song in it, and it trended very quickly online. it helped immensely with gaining exposure for The Extraordinaire."Did my goddess, Enola Langdon, sing that? She can act and sing so well.”"That’s right. She sounds even better than a professional singer.”"She didn’t end up in the music industry because she’s focusing on her acting career. If she were to focus on music instead, she might already have won best singer in the industry.”Enola earned a heap of praise online. Many record companies had contacted Enola privately to try to sign her up as their singer. They even offered huge contracts to her, but Enola rejected all of them.However, Enola was unable to reject Ira’s request and agreed to perform the song at the premiere.She had just walked down the platform when two women in dresses came walking toward her. Their beauty and charm were quite striking to Enola even though she was a woman. Enola did not pay much attention to
“Who's this friend that you’re talking about?” Melody was taken aback and quickly asked."His name is Chase Collins.”Enola did not hide anything and told Melody about him."He’s my boyfriend. Do you know who he is?” Enola wanted to continue claiming that he was her friend but was reminded of the time they had spent together. She suddenly said that Chase was her boyfriend instead.”What? Master Collins is your boyfriend?” The look on Melody’s face changed when she heard that.Everyone in the cultivating world had heard about Chase. News of Chase’s duel with the hall master of the Martial Soul Hall had spread all over the cultivating world. Melody did not think that Chase could win the fight. The hall master had been quiet for years while the previously unknown Chase had just started making a name for himself. It was apparent who was the stronger party."There's no need to ask him anything. You won’t have a boyfriend after tomorrow. It’s just as well. You’ll be able to focus on
All the crowd did was discuss the situation. No one spoke up for the woman at all. The rule about the strongest person having the most power in the cultivating world had not changed at all.It was not important who was morally right or wrong."You have no say in this today. You have to agree to this no matter if you want to or not.”Doyle felt his dignity being challenged when this woman disrespected him in public. He was about to be physically forceful with her.The woman was just a late meridian-opening master and was not Doyle’s match. That was when Chase stepped up and stood between both of them.Doyle stared at Chase, who had suddenly appeared between them, and asked coldly, “What do you mean by this?”Chase spoke out against him, “Nothing. I just don’t like what you’re doing.”Doyle was not able to tell Chase’s cultivation by the way he was dressed. He guessed that Chase was hiding a high-level treasure on him. A young man like Chase could not be powerful enough to fight a
"Unfortunately, we chose to stay behind back then. There's no other way. If we aren't able to stop the balance from being destroyed, the martial realm will meet with catastrophe."All three elders looked at each other and sighed.That was when a skinny middle-aged man suddenly pushed the door open and entered. He gave them a fist and palm salute. "Masters, I have something urgent to report."An emerald slip appeared in the man's hand."Oh? Is there news of the influential families of the martial realm?""I can't believe there's news so soon."All three elders were surprised.It had only been 15 minutes since it happened, and there was already news. That was not easy to obtain.All three elders were top powerhouses with strong capabilities. However, they were hopeful that the news was true and reliable. They took the emerald slip and used the divine sense technique to check the news in it."What?!" "The martial realm's Secret Sect has been destroyed?!"All three of them rais
"I understand it now. This is a spiritual stone tablet with a record of a mysterious Soul Refining Technique!"Chase looked delighted.The Soul Refining Technique was used to refine a person's soul and purify the Origin of the Soul."That's really powerful!"Chase opened his eyes and took a sharp breath. "The things left behind by powerhouses of the nether realm are really incredible. Such treasure is highly valuable. Even a small piece of this would be enough for powerhouses to fight over it!"A notion crossed his mind, and a massive soul energy surged. The spiritual tablet was instantly crushed by the soul energy.The spiritual tablet was crushed to dust and recondensed into an emerald slip that floated in the air. It gradually flew toward Chase."Huh? That isn't right."There was a cold look in Chase's eyes. He discovered a thread of a soul energy's fragment inside the emerald slip.A contorted savage phantom shadow shot out of the emerald slip. It came clawing at Chase wit
"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,
