Chase ran all the way out of the Kaydens' residence while Hubert went after him close behind.It forced Chase to use every fiber in his being to escape because he knew that if he was caught, it would be the end of him.He flew high into the air, but no matter how hard Chase ran, he got caught a few miles in the air."Why did you run when you saw me, Chase Collins?" Hubert stopped Chase but did not attack him. He smiled instead.It was freezing several miles in the air. They could see the vast Capital City below their feet if they looked down."You were coming after me. Of course, I'd run.""Why would I come chasing after you if you didn't run?""Alright, fine. Let's leave it at this. Why did you stop me, sir?" Chase quickly stopped this unending questioning and asked Hubert.Chase did not think that Hubert would come after him relentlessly just to take revenge for him breaking Alan's arm."That's a pointless question, isn't it, Chase Collins?""You need to explain things clea
"Hahaha! It's too late for you to try to escape, young man. Tell me where the Collinses' treasure is or I'll make sure you wish you were dead!" Hubert stopped putting up any pretenses when he saw Chase realize something was wrong. He decided to show his true colors, and his domain filled the entire air. Both their figures vanished several miles high in the air."This was all an act. Did you do this on purpose?" Chase knew that he had fallen into Hubert's trap and asked coldly."You're right. Everything started at the Kaydens' residence. Do you think a marquis of martial arts like you can really escape that far from me? It's because I wanted this opportunity for myself that I allowed you to escape this far. "To be honest with you, the Kaydens aren't the only ones with such a dagger. A few other influential families have one of their own too. It's used to verify your identity. Do you think that no one has been paying you any attention since you left Dragon Tiger Mountain? "I've b
Hubert did not even need to move. All it took was one thought in his mind to suppress a peak stage-nine martial marquis."Attack that spot!"That was when Caspian's voice rang in Chase's mind.Chase did not hesitate. He took out the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword and turned into a sword shadow as he headed speedily toward the spot Caspian pointed at.It felt like Chase had pierced into a strong, solid object. It was difficult to imagine something could be so fortified when attacked by the Dragon Abyss Sword."Stop thinking you can escape. Even a marquis lord of the same level as me won't be able to break out of my domain, much less a stage-nine marquis of martial arts like you," Hubert said coldly as he stared at Chase in the form of a sword shadow, desperately trying to pierce through to escape. He kept stabbing at the spot relentlessly."Ignore him, young man. Just focus on what you're doing. This domain is nothing in front of me. I can destroy it with one finger," Caspian conti
"Fine."Albus still looked unwilling.That was when the old man said something else to him, "By the way, he was the one who killed your grandson, Clay Hawkin!"All it took was one sentence and Albus formed into a flash of light as he sped out of the secret realm.…Chase headed east after he escaped Hubert's domain. He eventually slowed down when he realized Hubert was not giving chase and landed on the ground.He was covered in blood by then. It was not easy to break out from the domain of a martial lord. The injury he sustained from the struggle was enough to wound him seriously.However, Chase was curious why Hubert did not come after him."Are you wondering why he didn't give chase?" Caspian asked in Chase's mind."Yeah.""Do you know that even if two martial lords fought each other, they wouldn't release their domains so easily while in battle? It would be quite serious if any of their domains were damaged. A martial lord will only use his domain to bully those of a lowe
"Who told you I'm a stage-six marquis of martial arts?" Chase stared coldly at the figure in front of him as he asked with indifference.Just as the dark figure got cautious, Chase attacked him with another palm attack. He held the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand and slashed at the throat of the dark figure with a backhand.A bloody gash appeared on the dark figure's throat.The dark figure grabbed his slit throat. He looked like he wanted to say something, but his windpipe had been slashed and he could not say a word.He stared at Chase and fell to the ground."Hmph! You're just a stage-seven marquis of martial arts, yet you're brazen enough to come after me. You deserve death!" Chase said with a cold look at the corpse.Even though the dark figure did not emanate any aura throughout, Chase had assumed that he was a martial lord powerhouse. It was only when the dark figure caught up to Chase that he realized the man was only a stage-seven marquis of martial arts assassin. That wa
He aimed his palm straight at Chase's face.Chase had to react quickly, and he met the attack with his palm as well.True energy flowed between them, and Chase flew backward from the impact of the attack. He crashed through several walls and smashed all the windows of the boxing gym.Another martial lord!Chase was shocked.No one but a martial lord could attack him with such a powerful impact.Chase watched as the entire boxing gym fell into ruins because of their palm attack. Fortunately, it was night and there was no one inside. Even though Fenton was hurt, he was still alive. Chase flew into the sky with a burst of energy."Where do you think you're going?!" Albus flew up as well as he went after Chase.They flew past a high-rise building and went up several miles into the air. That was when Albus sped up and stopped Chase."Don't worry. Bactria has a rule that says powerhouses like us aren't allowed to kill ordinary civilians. I know my boundaries even if you didn't fly u
" I heard that Chase Collins is suspected to be a descendant of the Collinses. Should we…?"A martial lord asked the question."Forget about it. It's just a rumor. Even if it were true, you would risk making an enemy out of the Martial Soul Hall."Another martial lord was cautious about this."You're right. It's the Martial Soul Hall, after all."…In a mysterious location in Capital City, a figure barged into an office."Bad news, sir!"Two old men were in deep discussion inside the office. The tea on their table was still hot. They looked at the man who barged in.One of the old men looked up and picked up the cup on the table. He took a sip of tea before saying, "How many times have I told you not to always act so anxiously, Scott? You have to be calmer."The figure who barged into the room was Scott.Scott regained his composure when he got scolded and said calmly, "Chase Collins is in Capital City, Mr. Cloves. He's fighting with someone in the air!""What? Who is he fi
Chase wondered how to explain this.That was when an aircraft came flying toward them. It got closer to them, and a loud frequency was heard."Fighting is not allowed within the borders of Bactria. Please leave immediately!"It was an unbelievable sight. There was a sea of cultivators standing in the sky while a battle aircraft was at the side trying to stop a fight.Chase was flabbergasted to see such a sight.Albus ignored the aircraft and formed into a shadow remnant once more as he sped toward Chase.Gareth was standing in front of an LCD monitor. It was screening the picture of Albus, Chase, and the cultivators surrounding them. When Albus ignored the warning, he said angrily, "Connect me to the loudspeaker.""Yes, sir!""Stop!"Gareth's elderly voice was heard coming from the aircraft.Albus paused when heard the voice, but he decided to continue his attack on Chase after that. He was the chief hall master of the Martial Soul Hall, and he was using all the true energy
There was a muffled sound, and the leaf turned into dust. The man's palm was unscathed. All he had was some dust on his sleeve."You…" Chase's eyes widened with great fear. He was aware that all that man had to do was blow some air and Chase would be dead for sure."This can't continue. There'll be hope as long as I'm still alive. I have to leave this godforsaken place right now!" Chase made a quick decision. He stood up right away and made a mad dash for the coastline."Die, you lowly ant!"A roar echoed in the air, and Chase's movement slowed. He felt a chill.A massive power came crashing down like the skyline was collapsing. It suppressed everything in all corners and was suffocating.Chase's knees gave out, his bones cracking. He fell kneeling to the ground. His shoulders were trembling, and he was in great pain."I need to run as far as I can!" Chase was filled with great fear. He gave everything he could to channel true energy and ran crazily to the front."Hmph! Trying
The martial artists who survived in the land where light and dark convened were naturally tainted by evil energy. Their physique would gradually transform, slowly making them a better fit in the nether realm.While within the nether realm, martial artists would experience various hallucinations.They would hear spirits crying and wolves howling. Resentment was everywhere, and evil spirits would constantly appear. That place was covered in dark fog, and spirits roamed. Every corner of it was dangerous and had high death rates. Ordinary people would never dare step into this place.Chase had lived on Earth for 20 years. He trained in martial arts and medical skills from a young age and had seen a lot of this world.However, even he felt a chill down his spine after he was one reading the record on the nether realm."No wonder I keep having the feeling of a mysterious movement at the northeast corner of the martial realm. Could the dark energy from the nether realm have seeped throug
"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
