As Lars finished speaking, a shroud of ghost energy enveloped him.Suddenly, Chase's ears were filled with a hiss that sounded like a mix between a snake and a dragon.The ghost energy behind Lars coalesced, forming a three-meter-tall figure with the head of a dragon, the body of a turtle, and the tail of a serpent—an unmistakable image of the Black Turtle.Chase immediately recognized the form before him. To his surprise, it was real. The Basalt Armor was indeed in Eastern Ocean.Seeing the monstrous figure, Aaron was paralyzed with fear, unable to move a muscle."Alright. It's time for both of you to meet your end!" Lars commanded, and with a thought, the Black Turtle leaped forward from behind him. Its dragon head and serpent tail opened wide, lunging at the two men."How dare you?!" Chase stepped forward, releasing the powerful aura of a martial lord.Although Lars had boasted about his greatly increased power, Chase had already seen through it.Lars was nothing more than a
Chase looked at the vibrant spirit of the Black Turtle before him and felt a strong sense of affection. He let the Black Turtle spirit continue licking his finger.Lars was now completely reduced to nothing, but the Basalt Armor was nowhere to be seen. Chase grew curious. Why was only the spirit of the Black Turtle present, but not the armor itself?Chase extended his consciousness to interact with the spirit. Instantly, the Black Turtle spirit coiled around Chase's fingertip and then transformed into a streak of light, rushing into Chase's body.This sudden change startled Chase. Just moments ago, the Black Turtle seemed friendly, but now, it had seemingly taken control and entered his body.The light spread throughout Chase's body as if searching for something. After a while, the light reappeared in front of Chase after having found nothing. It then reverted to its Black Turtle form."Boy, why do I sense a familiar aura from you yet can't find the source? Who exactly are you?" A
Chase no longer cared about anything else when he saw this."Sir, please don't resist this later."He opened up the Dragon Vein Secret Realm while saying this.A space with strong suction appeared out of thin air. It might be because of what Chase said that the old man stopped resisting. He did not make any move.He was taken into the Dragon Vein Secret Realm by Chase.The old man was the Black Turtle in human form. He was initially calm upon entering the secret realm, but that quickly changed.He burst out exclaiming something, "This aura… It's… It's Big Brother! Quick, tell me where is he?" Black Turtle grabbed Chase, who had appeared next to him, anxiously.Chase was taken aback.Why would the divine Black Turtle suddenly act so out of character and claim he had a big brother?Chase pointed into the air above him.The divine Black Turtle looked up at where Chase was pointing while still in the form of an old man.He suddenly looked agitated."Big Brother! Big Brother i
The divine Black Turtle heard Chase's question.He paused for a moment as he reminisced about this. It took a while before he slowly said, "Chase, you know about the Four Arms of Bactria, but do you know of their origin story?""Do you mean…"Chase made a guess."You're right. It's because of the Four Divine Beasts that the Four Arms was established. However, not many people know that the four of us are the Four Arms' ultimate weapons." "Do you mean to say that the true dragon is the legendary Divine Green Dragon?"Chase quickly asked about this."No. Green Dragon is Green Dragon. The Four Divine Beasts are Green Dragon, Red Phoenix, White Tiger and, me. The four of us would never admit we're inferior to each other. That is, until True Dragon appeared. We stopped fighting each other, and True Dragon became our big brother." The divine Black Turtle explained.Chase had a better understanding of their story now."Why are you here in Eastern Ocean, Mr. Black Turtle? Did the Ea
"Those people out there belong to East Capital's most powerful family, the Trevors. The man at the door is the next-in-line to inherit the Trevors, Hatch Trevor!"This was how powerful the successor to the most powerful family in East Capital was?He was not really considered much.Chase could sense from his consciousness that Hatch was just a stage-eight marquis of martial arts.What could have given him the confidence to say something like that?"Come on, let's go out!" Chase said calmly.Aaron was shocked."Basalt's Collins, this is the most powerful family in East Capital. We shouldn't face them head-on. Let's escape from the back door.""That won't be necessary. We'll take the front door. You can walk in front of me."Chase was adamant about this.Aaron had no choice but to walk in front while Chase watched him closely.At the door, Hatch watched as the door opened slowly."You're finally willing to show yourself, Master Payne. I thought you would choose to continue hi
Even though the emperor had bestowed the title of Heavenly Master to Aaron, there was still nothing he could do when facing a Celestial Master."How dare you try to lie your way out of this? Who could it be but you? There are so many people watching here. You were the only one who entered this house. Who else could it be? The lackey behind you?"Hatch spoke up again when the independent cultivators did not believe his words. Aaron was silenced the moment Hatch mentioned that no one else had entered the Jameson residence."You should look at this from a logical point of view, Mr. Trevor. It really wasn't me. I'm not powerful enough to do this. I came here because I heard Celestial Master Jameson had gotten his hands on a treasure from Holy Mountain. I wanted to ask his permission to head there with him one day to try my luck as well." Aaron tried his best to explain his reason for being there, but Hatch did not care. If Aaron continued talking, there was no telling how this would t
"Yeah! Didn't he go into the Jameson residence with Master Payne? How dare a lackey like him make such a brag? Isn't he afraid of becoming a laughingstock?"Everyone started to make sarcastic remarks after being momentarily stunned.Even Hatch wanted to make a sarcastic comment but was worried about the hidden powerful presence, so he held back his anger."Get out of here, you rascal. I'm only here to face Master Payne. This has nothing to do with anyone else. Get lost if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, Eastern Ocean will have no place for you if you offend the Trevors!"Hatch spoke out coldly as he tried to convince Chase to leave quietly.Chase was speechless. No one believed his honesty these days.He had no choice but to emphasize once more, "It really was me."Chase had no inhibition in Eastern Ocean. The Eastern Oceanians were not people to him. If things escalated, all he needed to do was kill them all.He emphasized this once more, and Hatch finally lost his te
"That… That isn't possible! No! I must be dreaming."Chase's power surpassed everyone present, but he quietly released his domain just to be on the safe side.Marquises of martial arts like the ones in front of Chase could not withstand a power like this. Despite having dozens of them, they turned into a mist of blood in an instant by Chase.Dozens of them became bloody mist in the air. Anyone who saw this sight could not take it.The first to break down was Hatch.He was the only one among the dozens of people who had survived it.It was not because he was powerful but because Chase had specifically kept him alive. He wanted information from Hatch.Chase knew that Hatch must know quite a lot as he had been lying in wait outside the Jameson residence for a long time.Hatch looked like he had seen a ghost as he stared at Chase in disbelief.The young man in front of him was telling the truth. Hatch had seen with his own eyes how that strange power surged from the young man and
A cynical smile appeared on Chase's face. He waved his hand, and two silver flashes shot out.Silver needles pierced into the men in black's hearts and through the middle of their eyes. They did not even make a sound as they died on the spot."What…"All the Webers watching took a sharp breath and stumbled back a few steps. There was wariness in their expressions as they were filled with fear. Those men were powerful martial artists, but they were killed without even being able to retaliate."Who is this man? How dare he slaughter the guards of the Secret Sect's headquarters?!"Everyone began whispering among themselves."My gosh! That man must be a god to be so powerful. He killed all the guards from the Secret Sect's headquarters! How many people have he killed?""I heard that a powerful man emerged in Capital City who destroyed the Starks. Could it be him?""Impossible! Your news is outdated. I heard that this man's name is Chase Collins. He was born in a village at the bord
Chase would rather exhaust his vital energy than use precious ingredients. After all, he aimed to be at the peak of martial arts.If he relied on precious ingredients to help achieve peak stage momentarily, it would easily leave unwanted side effects or even cause his power to spiral. His cultivation would be forever stalled if that happened.There was a reason why some things were too good to be true.The cultivator's path meant that the more powerful the skill, the more difficulties one had to endure. It was the same with saint-level skills."If I accumulate enough experience, I can still formulate a plan to scale to greater heights even if I'm unable to achieve a breakthrough within a short time."There was a glint deep inside Chase's eye.All the old and weak, women and children of the Webers were just ants to Chase. He could destroy them with just a flip of the hand. They were not worth mentioning at all.However, if they gathered, they would be able to produce great power
"Kill him!"These martial artists were all powerful fighters. Even the weakest among them was a peak eighth-tier semi-saint. They sensed with their consciousness that Halver had been defeated.All of the Webers' powerhouses were filled with hate and anger. They took out their weapons and lunged toward Chase in an attack.The look in Chase's eye became even colder when the Webers retaliated. "I'll destroy the Webers today and get those two medicinal herbs after."A huge sword shadow formed behind Chase. The sword flash swept in all directions, destroying all of the weapons in the attack against Chase.Chase took another step forward. The sword in hand dazzled so brightly that it hurt the eyes. The light covered every corner as if about to destroy everything.It took only a short time for the Webers' powerhouses to be slaughtered. They did not even have the chance to retaliate. They were as weak as sick chickens.Cletus was shocked, feeling his hair stand on end. It felt like deat
Everyone was delighted.Halver Weber, the master of the Weber Secret Sect, was a peak martial arts saint. He was the second most powerful man after the Supreme Elder of the Webers.Two old men in black stood next to him with powerful auras. One of them was the leader of the Webers' Enshrined, Dennis Cloy. The other man was Halver's brother, Cletus."Who are you? How dare you barge into the Weber residence?! Don't you know that the Webers are Capital City's top family?" Halver said with a cold look on his face."Top family?" Chase laughed condescendingly and said with indifference, "I heard that the Webers possess two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Bring them out here. Give me those herbs and the Webers will live. Otherwise…"Chase paused at this point. He swept a glance at all the Webers present. A cynical smile appeared on his face. "This isn't much. The Webers are nothing to me!"Halver was enraged and roared, "What arrogance! Don't blame us for retaliating with force now t
Meanwhile, Chase was glowing in gold light, looking like a God of War.He was dressed to hunt, and there was a cold look in his eye. He displayed no emotions, acting like all he had done was kill an ant.Chase pulled out his sword, where blood was dripping down the blade.He turned to leave and headed to look for the Webers. Now that he was done with the Starks, it was time to take care of the Webers.Chase thought about this as he walked there. The Starks were one of the most wealthy families in Capital City. It did not bother him to destroy the Starks, but he had to find a good reason to do so or it might make others suspicious."Forget about it. I'll destroy the Weber Secret Sect first before thinking about this."Not long after, Chase arrived at the door of the Weber Secret Sect. He pushed the door open and strode in.The guards of the Weber Secret Sect saw Chase barge in and shouted, "Who dares come into the Weber Secret Sect?!" Chase kept silent as he continued walking i
"Who exactly is that young man? Why haven't I heard of him? The Starks are finished for making such a powerful enemy."Chase was decisive and resolute. He was ruthless, which frightened many of the Starks' guards.He closed his eyes to rest. Thin, black smoke began wafting out of his body and it eventually covered everything around Chase. No one was able to get near him.This was a lonely mountain peak that was far away from the bustling city.After some time, a car came by and parked near the mountain."Bastard!"Someone roared in misery. Theo Stark jumped out of his car. He was furious and roared with great anger.He looked at the abandoned house in front of him. Sorrow, fear, and revenge consumed him. His roars echoed all around."Chase Collins! Where is my son, Tank?!"He ran toward the ruins crazily.Just as Theo was about to get inside, he suddenly sensed a great danger. The next thing he knew, the mountain began shaking. It felt like the sky was about to fall. Theo was
Something sped by in the air, and several powerful auras were coming in close."Who are you? How dare you slaughter the Starks?"The man in the lead grunted coldly. He had a spear in his hand and came speeding over in a flash to stab Chase in the back.Chase did not look back. He raised his left hand and flicked his finger. There was a loud bang, and the spear broke into pieces. Turning back, he waved his hand. The dagger shot out midair and stabbed right between the man's eyes."H-How is this possible…" The man's eyes widened as he looked at Chase in disbelief. His mouth moved as if trying to say something, but his body gradually turned cold and stiff. This happened in a flash.By the time the other powerful auras appeared, the man with the spear was dead."Who are you?!" The two men were shocked. They were looking at Chase in great astonishment."I should be the one asking who you are," Chase sneered, his eyes narrowing.The two old men stepped forward and said in a deep voic
Chase saw that the entire living room was covered in blood. The walls were filled with various frightening torture tools."Is this how the Starks treat their guests?" Chase's expression was cold. He said this slowly and carefully, making sure every word was heard.The Starks!They were crossing the line!"Who's there?!"An angry voice was heard from deep inside the house. It was followed by violent coughing.A young man with messy hair struggled to stand. He was covered in blood. An arm fell limply below his shoulders. The cut on it was clean, and it was a horrifying sight to see.His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Chase. "You worthless ant, you—pfft!"He only managed a few words before his throat caught something and he coughed up blood."Who are you? The Starks have never crossed paths with you. Why do you want me dead?!" He was a member of the Starks, and he questioned Chase with clenched teeth.A name immediately appeared in Chase's mind at the sight of this Stark fa
The elder was furious with what the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug did."Damn it! You destroyed everything I had!"He was filled with anger. His eyes were red as he yelled hysterically. His voice was shrill, and it sounded like the shrill of a banshee."Did you think you were the only one who knew how to use voodoo?" Chase grunted coldly."Impossible! How could you know restricted mystical techniques?" The elder was in disbelief. Only a direct descendent of the clan was qualified to cultivate the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug."Nothing is impossible in this world," Chase said with conviction.He flicked his fingers after that, and a green talisman appeared. It exploded with a loud bang and formed into a burning ball of flame.Two balls of flame came flying over and sat on each side of Chase's shoulder. The flames burned furiously as they formed into fire armor that covered him. His defense increased."You must die…"The elder laughed crazily.He waved his hand, and two wooden puppets
