Chapter 770

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
Indeed, this excuse worked every time. Hearing that Chase was a hunter who had gotten separated from his tribe, the person guarding the area did not ask too many questions, perhaps out of sympathy or pity. After inquiring about his name, they gave Chase a sleeping spot and advised him to rest early.

At dinnertime, the person warmly invited Chase to join them for dinner. They were roasting a large beast's leg over the fire, and Chase could not resist the man's hospitality. He followed him to the fire.

Around the fire, seven or eight men were already waiting. Seeing Chase, they quickly made room for him to sit. As a token of gratitude, Chase discreetly retrieved two bottles of liquor from his storage space and shared them.

He was always generous to those who showed him kindness.

Listening to the men talk about interesting stories from far and wide, Chase found himself thoroughly enjoying their company and soon joined in the conversation. The atmosphere was lively and cheerful.

    Although this place was located in the wilderness, the spiritual energy here was no less than that in the Dragon Vein Secret Realm. Chase absorbed the spiritual energy into his body, quickly entering a state of cultivation.Though the effect of absorbing spiritual energy was minimal for Chase, cultivation had always been about gradual accumulation. There was no such thing as overnight success.In the latter half of the night, a sudden chill woke Chase. He spread out his consciousness, scanning the area but finding nothing unusual. When he shifted his gaze, he finally spotted half a pale face with blood-red lips peeking out from behind a tent.The figure was a woman, strikingly noticeable against the backdrop of the wilderness. As soon as Chase looked over, the woman locked eyes with him. Her eyes moved stiffly, as if studying him.Chase stood up, planning to ignore the woman and warn the men in the tent. However, he noticed that his sleeping bag had inexplicably disappeared. Steppi

    The white-clad woman instantly stopped speaking and locked eyes with Chase. Meanwhile, the pool of blood around them slowly expanded, shrouding Chase in a blood-red mist that resembled a thick fog."Chase, don't be careless. This ghostly woman is the overlord of these desolate lands for miles around, known as the Bloodthirsty Preserver. It's said she was once a lover of a high-ranking figure in a tribe, who later abandoned her and tortured her to death."Her intense resentment transformed her into a vengeful spirit. Now, she preys on solitary travelers to absorb their light energy. It's strange, though. We've traveled this path many times and never encountered her before. I wonder why she appeared tonight?" said the leader of the merchants to Chase, alerting him.Chase slightly shrugged his shoulders, releasing a burst of true energy that instantly dispersed the blood mist around him.Sensing danger, the white-clad woman tried to dive back into the pool of blood to escape. Chase sw

    "You're spreading lies! When have I ever killed hundreds or thousands of people?" the woman retorted upon hearing the accusations against her."Chase, you must not listen to this ghost's deceitful words," one of the men pleaded."Yes, Chase, you must take action for us. If you weren't here today, we might have become her victims," added another, clearly convinced by the rumors they had heard."Have any of you actually seen this woman kill anyone?" Chase asked, trying to reason with the men. He did not want them to think he was simply using his strength to protect the woman.Seeing Chase defend her, the woman calmed down. She lowered her head and stayed silent."Well, no. We haven't seen it ourselves. It's all just hearsay," one man admitted reluctantly."There you have it. None of you have seen it with your own eyes. It's all based on rumors, which tend to become exaggerated. From my observations today, this woman had no intention of harming you. She was just quietly observing ne

    "If you keep following me, I'll take action. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because I saved you," Chase warned, trying to scare her off.However, the woman seemed confident that Chase would not hurt her. She was displaying a fearless expression."Go ahead, do it. You're strong, and I can't resist anyway. Come on now. I'm not even going to fight back," she said while drifting closer to Chase, acting as if she were at his mercy.Chase raised his hand, pretending he was about to strike her on the forehead.The woman did not move or evade. She just stared at Chase, convinced he would not actually hit her.After a moment, Chase had to lower his arm, feeling it start to go numb from holding it up."You can follow me, but stop asking so many questions, okay? Otherwise, I really won't let you tag along," Chase conceded. He realized he could not bring himself to harm someone who refused to fight back."Okay," the woman quickly agreed, clearly set on staying with Chase."W

    As a mere ghost, she had not achieved any great feats, yet she was granted a dwelling akin to a blessed sanctuary.What had she done to deserve this? Initially, she was only grateful and a bit curious, so she followed this seemingly kind-hearted man for a while.Now, seeing this sanctuary, she felt both fortunate and more determined to follow Chase."Yes, you can reside inside here. Just try not to come out and scare people," Chase instructed."Thank you, Mr. Collins," Rolfene responded formally. In some tribes here, young men with some strength liked being addressed with respect, so she hoped calling him 'Mr. Collins' would be well-received.Rolfene pondered silently."By the way, do you remember much about your life? Tell me about it," Chase asked casually, deciding it was best not to reveal he was not a native."I don't remember much, but there are some things. If you don't mind, I'll share," Rolfene replied."Alright. Just tell me what you remember. And don't call me Mr.

    There seemed to be a lack of confidence in him despite the praise.Rolfene was dramatically blunt as she said, "It can't be that you don't have some sort of tactic when dealing with supernatural beings like me but can't do any damage if the fighting were to get real, right?"The more she talked about it, the less confidence she had as she watched herself being surrounded from all four corners at the city gates.Chase glared at Rolfene."Stand to the side and watch. You'll find out how powerful your boss really is!"Rolfene knew she was on the losing end and kept quiet. She made a mental note to escape the moment she sensed something wrong.Chase was not bothered by what Rolfene was planning.He rushed to the front with the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand as his feet pushed forward.Chase even had time to ask while in mid-air, "Who are you?"No one replied to him.It was a group of people who lived life at the edge.Those who enjoyed announcing their names out loud in public w

    At the same time, the Dragon Abyss Sword was flying in the air in the opposite direction, piercing right through the back of the other man who was attempting to escape.It went through the man as a clean blade and exited his body covered in blood.Both men died on the spot.As for the trained muscled man, Chase had seen him making an escape into the city district from the city gates. Chase had no choice but to give up going after him. All he did was leave a trace of consciousness on that man.It was not difficult to kill him, but Chase had to find out what exactly was happening.Why would this group of men ambush him for no reason?Chase gave this some thought and guessed this could be because of the divine crystal.However, he wondered if they tried to assassinate him because of the divine crystal or if these people had sensed the divine crystal and were lying in wait. There was a chance they had no idea who possessed the crystal.There was a huge difference between both reaso

    Scanlon was unlike the average commoner as he had experienced huge events before.He calmed down and asked, "Young man, did you come into Eagle City from the rear gates?""Yes, I did. Is there anything you need, sir?" Chase replied."Did you see or hear anything at the city's rear gates?" Scanlon finally asked without revealing the truth of the matter."No, I didn't. The city gates were quiet when I walked in. No one was out there at all," Chase pretended not to know anything."Oh, I see. What are you doing here at Eagle City, young man?" Scanlon relaxed quite a bit when he saw the young man in a green shirt acting cordial."I'm not here for anything much. I just happened to pass by this place. There's only wilderness all around here, and it's a difficult situation for me. I was thinking of spending a few nights in Eagle City to recuperate my mind and cultivate," Chase gave the most common excuse.Scanlon hesitated. The young man in the green shirt did not look like a bad man an

    Walter's entire body instantly shriveled up. Willow only noticed something was wrong when she swept her spiritual consciousness across the area.She was shocked. She could only deduce that it was damage caused by a fire-type spell.A curse? Fire-based?"Lisa, help him—quick!"That was the first thing that came to her mind since Lisa was a Water Dragon. Her water-based spells would definitely be stronger than Willow's own.She quickly called her over for help, and Lisa rushed over immediately.When she saw that Walter had almost turned into a dried corpse, she, too, was stunned."Hurry up and cast something!" Willow shouted, panic-stricken."Oh!" Lisa fumbled as she moved.This was the first time she had ever seen something so gruesome. A giant serpent dozens of feet long had shriveled into a dried-up husk only a few feet across. Could something like that still be alive? Was this even the same Walter she knew?Her thoughts raced uncontrollably.With trembling hands, she cast

    It actually suited the Light Divine Pearl's temperament quite well.That was Chase's assessment. It was because of that that he trusted the figure's identity a little more.More importantly, his spiritual consciousness still had not detected any hostility from the figure.He also understood that if a real fight broke out inside the world created by the Light Divine Pearl, his chances of winning were close to zero."Since that's the case, let me see your strength first."The moment the words were spoken, the surrounding scenery changed completely. Chase suddenly found himself engulfed in a sea of flames.He turned around, and there was no island anymore. This was a different dimension, a realm of fire.Flames filled the sky, and black smoke rolled across the horizon. The temperature was scorching. It was unbearable even for a physical cultivator like him.Not to mention, he began to question whether his earlier conclusion about the lack of hostility was incorrect for the first t

    Willow and the others still had no idea what was going on. They thought this was only the sixth level."This place is way too different from the previous ones. There's not a single person here."Walter looked around and realized that aside from plants and rocks, he had not seen any living creatures on this island."This is the ninth level, where the Light Divine Pearl resides.""What? THe Light Divine Pearl?"After all, it was Willow who had told Chase about the Light Divine Pearl. Walter and Lisa still did not understand what was going on."The ninth level?"Lisa's confusion was understandable. As a native of the fifth level, she only knew about the fifth and sixth layers as the transitional realms between the lower and upper worlds. She knew nothing beyond that."Willow, explain things to those two. I'll go check the surroundings," Chase instructed, then turned to explore the area.Willow began explaining the Dark and Light Dark and Light Mineral Ore and the existence of the

    Only the Lightning Dragon King and his woman stayed behind, embracing each other and soaking in the cheers from the crowd.However, strangely enough, neither Carla nor Sierra detected any sign of ascension from Chase and his group.Carla dismissed the equally puzzled Sierra, then activated her messaging talisman and began chatting with Fallon."Fallon, did you see that? That Chase guy...""Yeah. He's strong, no doubt. The kind of ruthless man who could kill six elders with a single blow.""No, not that. Didn't they ascend? Did you notice any ascension phenomenon?""I was cultivating at the time, so I didn't pay attention. Why?"Carla felt a twinge of doubt in her heart.This world was inherently flawed. It was easy to find loopholes in the laws of heaven. They just lacked the power to exploit them. However, detecting them was still possible.Spiritual consciousness could easily cover most areas. A phenomenon as massive as ascension should have triggered some kind of reaction—e

    What just happened?Willow and the others were completely confused."Let's go. It's all taken care of," Chase called out. With a wave of his hand, a portal appeared beside him.The Lightning Dragon King stood nearby with a forced smile, even making a welcoming gesture."Master, what's going on?" Walter, as the contracted beast, decided it was best for him to ask."I've negotiated terms with the Lightning Dragon King. We can go straight to see Lord Light Divine Pearl," Chase replied with a grin."What?!""Stop that. Move it. If you don't go in now, I'm closing the portal.""Alright, alright! We're going!"They then entered the portal one after another.Just before going in, Lisa curiously glanced at the Lightning Dragon King. This so-called world master, once so high and mighty, now stood like a doorman, ushering them into the gate.For the first time, Lisa realized what it meant when people said that the world was a fickle place. It was almost absurd.Once Chase and his gro

    It was just a bit strange. Why would someone like the Light Divine Pearl himself stay tucked away in a corner of the nether realm, never stepping out? There had to be more to the story. Maybe there was some hidden reason?Chase knew he did not have enough information to figure it out right now, so he decided to let it go for the moment. It was better to deal with what was in front of him first."If you kneel before me, won't that grandfather of yours punish you?" Chase asked. His tone was a mix of curiosity, sarcasm, and something else even he could not quite place."He forbade me from addressing him with any honorifics. He just said if I lose, I should hand this thing over to the victor," the Lightning Dragon King replied. He looked genuinely sheepish for once.Chase took in a sharp breath.Forbade?That word carried a lot of weight. It sounded like these descendants of the Light Divine Pearl might not have the most glorious origins, after all. Maybe there was some dark, shamefu

    Now, the Lightning Dragon King openly called the Light Divine Pearl by name. It seemed clear that the artifact's existence was known within a specific inner circle judging by how casually he spoke about it."Of course. In fact, I reincarnated from the upper realm. Starting from the seventh level, any creature with intelligence basically knows about the Light Divine Pearl," the Lightning Dragon King explained to Chase."Then why are you so sure that this pearl is useful for me?" Chase asked."Your strength is far beyond mine. That alone is something no native of this realm can possibly achieve. And from how indifferent you've been toward the Dark and Light Emeralds yet so determined to push upward, it's not hard to guess that you must be an outsider."Actually, there were already several groups who came before you," the Lightning Dragon King said with a sigh."Several groups?" Chase raised his eyebrows in surprise.Yet almost immediately, the realization hit him. In the nether rea

    The viewing stands of the arena fell into complete silence.Not only the dragons but also the other spectators from different races—many of whom had already moved far away and were ready to bolt at any moment—froze mid-motion.The dragons had ruled this world for thousands of years. Yet now, the world master, ruler of both the realm and the dragon race itself, was kneeling before a human boy barely past his novice years.Was this something anyone expected to see in their lifetime? Not even in their wildest dreams had they imagined such a scene.The shock this brought was no less than taking a full-force hit from the Lightning Dragon King himself.In the main grandstand, the female Poison Dragon stood with her mouth agape. When she finally tried to close it, she realized her jaw had become dislocated. It took her quite a bit of effort, even requiring her vital energy, just to snap it back into place.Holding her cheek, she still could not speak. Was this really the Lightning Drago

    The female Poison Dragon stood on the main viewing platform, utterly stunned.Although she had already felt a bad premonition the moment Chase seized the momentum from the Lightning Dragon King, she still could not accept it when that premonition became reality.The Lightning Dragon King—once the embodiment of invincibility in her mind—could not even land a single hit on this unknown human. It shattered everything she thought she knew about the strongest combatants.Could this nobody actually be a visitor from the upper realm? However, did they not say he was from Earth, a place completely barren of spiritual energy?Her heart was filled with doubt and unease. What if this guy actually ended up taking the world master's title?If that happened, it would be a catastrophe for the dragons.She knew, deep down, just how much wrong they had done over the years. Calling it 'corruption' and 'tyranny' would have been putting it mildly.If a reckoning truly came, most of them would not b
