Several lightning bolts flashed the moment they left the void. Chase pointed at the void, and the raging thunder and lightning immediately covered Chuck as ordered."That’s… the Five-Thunder Technique!”"I didn’t think that the Heavenly Master Mansion’s thunder technique would be so powerful. They could even hurt a marquis of martial arts.”"The current Heavenly Master’s thunder techniques probably can’t compare to Chase Collins.”Many members of the clandestine sects on the mountaintop of Dragon Tiger Mountain looked in the direction of where Phineas was.Those who were close to the Heavenly Master Mansion started to find out more from Phineas regarding the relationship between Chase and the Heavenly Master Mansion.Phineas gave them a mysterious look but did not explain their relationship with Chase. He was just feeling gleeful about Chase using the thunder technique. Who would dare look down on the Heavenly Master Mansion now?While he was feeling gleeful, the Evil Slaying Sw
His entire body shrunk back like a tortoise hiding its head in the shell, and the Evil Slaying Sword missed him.It was a close call.Chuck took the opportunity to move dozens of meters away. He pressed an acupoint on his broken arm to stop it from bleeding so horribly."What happened? How did the hall master of the Martial Soul Hall get his arm chopped off in an instant? What divine abilities did Master Collin use?”"Yeah, what happened?”"Looks like Chase Collins just got even more formidable after getting the Evil Slaying Sword.”The sky was supposed to be the arena of the unpredictable duel. They were evenly matched not long ago, but Chuck’s arm had been chopped off in a blink of an eye. This ignited another round of excited discussions among the crowd. A veteran of a sect even managed to analyze what had happened. Chuck’s clothes were gone, and even the hair on his body had been fried from being struck by lightning.He looked an absolute mess now that he only had one arm
The woman was none other than Olivia.She was worried about her brother's safety. She did not think much and soared straight into the sky, determined to share Chase's fate. However, as soon as she took flight, she was struck down by a sword shadow, making her fall into the river below.The sword aura that penetrated her body caused her to lose consciousness instantly, but the cold river water slowly revived Olivia.Upon waking, she faced the rampant sword aura within her that ravaged her body. Olivia was determined not to die, so she began to absorb the sword aura into her body.Unexpectedly, a strange transformation occurred. Not only did her body absorb the sword aura, but her cultivation also advanced, becoming a third-stage true master of martial arts from the second stage. She even felt a faint sense of control over everything within a ten-meter radius.Olivia immediately tested her newfound abilities and was astounded by the phenomena.Though she was unsure of what had happ
"What? You already have a master? Tell me who your master is, and I'll speak to him about letting you join my sect." Wilcox's anxiety was evident. His powerful aura surged, making the sky seem darker. The entire world around Olivia appeared silent and still, with only Wilcox's presence dominating her mind.Despite feeling the overwhelming aura and having no strength to resist, Olivia gritted her teeth and said, "Sir, it'll be difficult for you to find my master. He passed away a few months ago.""In that case, you can directly become my disciple. I'm Wilcox Saber, the sect master of the Sword Sect. I've only taken two disciples in my life, both of whom are currently training within the sect. "If you agree, you'll be my last disciple. How about it?" Wilcox's expression softened slightly, but his aura remained oppressive as if he was deliberately pressuring Olivia.As Olivia was about to buckle under the pressure, Blake waved his hand, and Wilcox's aura disappeared instantly."Wilc
Chase pursued Chuck relentlessly, quickly reaching the outskirts of Joverton. A little farther and they would be out of Joverton's territory.As they continued, it became evident that Chuck was at his wit's end. His face was pale, and he had lost too much blood. His cultivation was reduced to nearly nothing.In contrast, Chase remained vigorous and full of energy.Chase swung the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand, sending several sword auras toward Chuck's back.Chuck was no longer in his prime state and had to stop and face Chase. After a frantic struggle, he barely managed to evade the attack.Staring at Chase with hatred, Chuck snarled, "Chase, I'm a hall master of the Martial Soul Hall. Do you really want to fight me to the death?"Seeing Chuck's pitiful state, Chase felt confident that he could kill him with one strike. He finally said, "When you challenged me, you should've been prepared for this. I'll give you a chance—tell me the truth about the past and I'll give you a quic
"I'm fine. But what about you? Are you hurt?" Olivia asked with a worried expression."Don't worry, he's fine. He's just exhausted from continuous battles," Blake said after glancing at Chase. He then flicked a pill toward him."This is a senior from the Esoteric Medical Sect and Linus' master," Olivia explained as she caught the pill.Chase showed no hesitation and swallowed the pill, showing his full trust.As soon as it entered his mouth, the medicinal power started spreading, filling his body with a warm flow. In an instant, more than half of his cultivation strength was restored."That's the Element Nurturing Pill!" Blake explained with a smile."Who are you to interfere in the Hawkinses' affairs?" Seeing the newcomer disregarding his presence and tending to Chase, Alf glared coldly at the old man."The Hawkinses? What a joke. I'll give you three seconds to disappear from my sight. Otherwise, don't blame me for what I'll do to you!" Blake retorted bluntly upon noticing that
As soon as Chase opened his eyes, he saw Olivia's concerned gaze in front of him.This expression was something Olivia only showed in front of Chase. In front of others, Olivia always maintained a cold demeanor."Don't worry, I'm fine now," Chase held Olivia's cold hand and comforted her."Alright, you two can continue your affection when no one else is around. I have a few questions for you," a voice interrupted, causing them to awkwardly let go of each other's hands.Recently, Chase had become quite shameless. He quickly acted as if nothing had happened and addressed Blake, "Please go ahead and ask, sir.""Chase, tell me honestly. Do you have any experience in refining pills?""A little.""Have you successfully made any pills?""I've managed to make a few.""Young man, from what your sister told me, you're unaffiliated. Would you be willing to join the Esoteric Medical Sect?" After receiving a positive response, Blake got straight to the point."May I know why, sir? I'd fin
Wilcox broke the barrier with a single sword strike but did not continue to attack. He merely said, "Chase, I'm Wilcox Saber. If you don't agree to join him, I assure you he won't dare force you."It was clear Wilcox held a grudge from the previous incident and wanted to antagonize Blake."Wilcox, you're courting death!" Blake initially did not care about the barrier being broken. However, after hearing Wilcox's words, he erupted in fury and unleashed a terrifying aura."Blake, even though you're a level higher than me, don't forget that I'm from the Sword Sect!" Wilcox retaliated, his sword intent soaring into the sky. He seemed less like a person and more like an unparalleled, sharp sword.This sudden change left Chase stunned. He wondered who this newcomer was and why the two were about to fight after just one exchange."Chase, this man is Wilcox, the sect master of the Esoteric Sword Sect. He previously wanted to take me as his disciple, but I refused. And thanks to Elder Ev
Although there was no physical damage, the soul damage was very real. It was exactly that soul damage that allowed Chase to subdue Walter."Master, has the soul damage on your Greedy Wolf increased again?" Walter asked.Soul damage? How could a blade cause soul damage?Willow and Cyril were both stunned.With their current strength, neither of them had experienced it directly and had no idea that Greedy Wolf had already awakened a spirit—specifically, a star spirit aligned with slaughter.Hearing Walter's question, Chase suddenly recalled that the spirit within Greedy Wolf—Silly Husky—possessed astonishingly strong soul power.When they first met, it had disguised itself as a deadly blade spirit, radiating a terrifying killing intent that had completely fooled Chase.Fortunately, his own soul was resilient enough not to be tricked. He had eventually seen through Silly Husky's bluffing and recognized it as more bark than bite.Now, Chase wondered if Dominic could have been affec
Being the only one who had previously faced Chase's Greedy Wolf, Stone stood frozen in disbelief.He had always believed that as a stage-nine martial god, the gap between himself and Dominic, a peak martial god and an elder of the Nefarious Deity Sect, was merely half a step. Yet now, he had witnessed something that shattered his assumptions.His most powerful dark beast, the Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent, was electrocuted to death in an instant. Then, even when he gave it everything he had and struck with Greedy Wolf, he still ended up at a disadvantage.Meanwhile, Dominic had taken on Chase's full three-pronged assault—including a direct strike from Greedy Wolf—with nothing but his bare skull and stood his ground.It was at that moment that Stone finally understood. The gap between him and Dominic was far larger than he had ever imagined.There was simply no comparison.He and Cherry had once considered challenging for the Supreme Elder title at the sect's year-end assembly, ho
This should be easy enough!"You brat! Dying at my hands is your greatest honor. Save your breath!" Dominic shouted as he launched the Nine Nefarious Holy Fist.His body swelled in size, his shirt bursting open to reveal muscles that were as hard as stone. They gleamed under the morning sun. The sight left Willow and Walter utterly stunned.An opponent who exploded out of his shirt right at the start? That was rare enough. However, to see a Supreme Elder doing it against a junior… Was this not a bit overkill?Facing him directly, Chase wore a serious expression. His consciousness detected an overwhelming vitality radiating from Dominic, so dense it even suppressed the aura of killing intent.After easily defeating Stone earlier, Chase's impression of the Nefarious Deity Sect had dropped a notch. He had thought that after so many rounds of body refinement and reinforcement by the Dark and Light Emerald Lotus, his physical strength should be at the top tier.Yet this Dominic, the s
The answer soon revealed itself.A sizzling noise rang out as the Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent lunged at Chase with its jaws wide open, clearly intending to end his life in one bite.It thought to itself smugly, 'This fool is too slow. He's dead for sure.'However, to everyone's surprise, the serpent suddenly spasmed mid-air. Electric arcs danced across its scales as smoke began to rise from its body. Twitching uncontrollably, it looked like it had been struck by lightning. It fell straight to the ground like a thick rope within seconds, utterly limp.Stone stood there, dumbfounded.He had not expected his Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent to be defeated so quickly. Sensing that the serpent was now truly and completely dead, his eyes flared with rage.Chase actually dared to kill his dark beast?!His expression turned grim. Black energy spirit surged from his body, and the demon-headed broadsword on his back gleamed with a menacing red light, eager to be unleashed. Even those nearb
Over the years, after being backstabbed by Ricky more times than he could count, Dominic had come to understand that when facing an unknown enemy, it was best to bide one's time and act cautiously."Stone, go test his strength," he ordered."Yes, sir," Stone replied.Dressed in a black robe, Stone rarely spoke, but his towering frame—nearly six foot five inches tall—and the massive demon-headed broadsword strapped to his back made it clear to anyone that he was not someone to mess with.Of course, there was no record of this person in Cyril's sect's registry either. The moment Cyril laid eyes on him, he knew this newcomer was a powerful force.He even considered warning Chase and the others to flee. However, seeing Chase step forward without the slightest hint of fear, he immediately understood that these people who were not listed must have come from a higher realm. He then silently shifted closer to Willow and Walter."Go ahead," Chase said calmly.Though his voice was not l
"I was originally at the martial god level, but after arriving in this world, my strength was suppressed down to martial monarch," Chase explained calmly."So... you came from a world where there's a higher realm?" Cyril was utterly shocked. The events of today had truly broadened his horizons.First, he was betrayed by a fellow outer disciple, then rescued by a stranger, who turned out to be a martial god!"You could say that," Chase replied, not willing to elaborate. After all, this world was only the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore.Whether it was an illusion or a real world created by the Light Divine Pearl, no one could be sure. Everything would have to wait until they reached the ninth level of the defensive formation.Just then, a roaring sound came from the sky. They looked up to see three armed helicopters circling overhead."This is the ground unit. You're surrounded. Raise your hands and surrender immediately, or else—"Before the voice could finish, Cha
After carefully studying the appearances of the three, Cyril sifted through his memory.Before descending the mountain, his nine mentors had compiled a list of the strongest individuals in the current world. It included rankings in combat ability, strategy, physical strength, medical skill, and other crucial categories—listing the top 300 names.Yet he could not find any entry that matched these three people standing before him.That puzzled him greatly. Based on the data his mentors gave him, they had basically covered every top-tier power in the world. For these three to be so powerful and yet completely unrecorded… was hard to believe.After a moment of hesitation, he spoke solemnly. "I'm Cyril Stent, a disciple of the Miracle Doctor Sect. I came down the mountain on my mentors' orders."I didn't expect to run into this mess and drag you all into danger. I truly apologize. As the saying goes, each kind deed should be repaid. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, just
"Alright, go ahead," Chase said, noticing Willow's eagerness.After all, throughout their journey, she had spent most of her time being a burden. She probably felt bad about it.Now that she finally had a chance to contribute, of course, she wanted to prove herself—not just to them but to herself. What she did not know was that Chase was also highly skilled in medicine.Willow activated her cultivation technique, her eyes glowing violet. This was the Purple Shadow Divine Eyes, a secret technique from the Evil Shadow Sect's Great Impermanence Mystical Shadow Technique.It allowed her to perceive the flow of various extraordinary energies—vital energy, spiritual energy, sick energy, vitality, ghost energy, and more.At this moment, within her field of vision, Cyril's meridians appeared as clearly as if under an X-ray.She suddenly cried out, shutting her eyes tightly as if they were being scorched."What's wrong?" Walter and Chase asked at the same time.Chase quickly focused h
This thing… Was it not the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?Had it reincarnated?What mattered more was that Chase was currently only at the martial monarch level. Now that they were inside a plane, if things escalated even a little, the aircraft would definitely explode. Yet on the other hand, their flying abilities were restricted at the moment, so they were essentially just waiting to die.Chase immediately found himself in a dilemma.While he hesitated, Klondike—also known as the Nine-Sea Giant Squid—extended three or four more tentacles, wrapping them tightly around Cyril. It looked like it was about to stuff him into its mouth. There was no choice. Chase had to go all in.Chase activated the Passive Concentration Technique. On one hand, it hid his spiritual presence from detection, and on the other, it launched a direct soul attack against Mia's group and the Nine-Sea Giant Squid.Then, Greedy Wolf struck.Now that he had reached the martial monarch realm, Chase could control it wi
