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
The blade contained powerful sword intent, and it sliced open a horrible wound on the Black Iron Demon Crocodile's belly. Blood gushed out from it.The crocodile roared furiously as it struggled. However, it could not escape as the blade had cut its veins, which immobilized it.Chase exhaled. He went forward and kicked the crocodile's head.A series of crisp cracks were heard before the crocodile ended up in a pool of blood. It was a horrifying sight.It was a martial nirvana beast, and even though it had been seriously hurt, it could still move. Chase did not dare waste any time. He took out some rope he had prepared earlier and wrung it around the crocodile's neck. He dragged it out of the underground palace."This Black Iron Demon Crocodile's body is massive. It must've consumed the blood essence of many human martial artists. I wonder what other surprises it has for me."Chase chuckled as he prepared to leave.However, that was when Chase paused in his footsteps and suddenly
The sinister and moist aura became stronger. Chase could even detect the rotting stench of dead bodies in the aura."Could there be more than one dead body buried in this place?" Chase contemplated this, but it did not bother him too much as victory was the only thing crucial to him.He leaped into the dark. Chase would come to some crossroads along the way, but he chose to keep going straight. The path led him underground.He had stepped into the tunnel for less than 15 minutes when he caught the sound of fighting. It did not come from outside but from below.He was puzzled and quietly snuck over.There was a loud bang, which was followed by the clanging of weapons.A massive dark shadow was on all fours in the middle of the underground palace covered in rubble. It had four limbs and a huge head. It had terrifying teeth and sharp claws while its back was covered with dark scales.It was crouching, and its red eyes looked vicious and violent. It could lunge forward and eat some
"Damn it!"Chase was enraged. He growled while madly absorbing the pure vitality and heaven and earth's spiritual energy from all around him.He sat down with great pain. He put his hands together to guide the vitality to condense it into lightning form.Purple lightning struck suddenly, tearing through the air and wrapping around the golden light.Chase's forehead was covered in sweat, and his entire body stiffened."This thing is tough to deal with. Why is it so hard to absorb it?" Chase clenched his teeth. The golden light contained incredibly powerful energy."I don't believe that you can take this."There was a cold look in Chase's eye. Thick veins throbbed all over him while limitless energy poured from within his body and into his hands. The energy gathered in his arms.The Might of Thunder and Lightning was an extremely powerful attack technique that was unbeatable.Chase was relieved to see the lightning and light vanish. Even though this was a powerful move, it exhau
"It's a voodoo bug!"The look on Chase's face changed. He instantly realized what it was and quickly waved his arms to release a raging wave of strength that caused numerous trees around him to fall.A swarm of green bugs, with each the size of a thumb, emerged in hordes. They were like swarms of locusts that filled up every space in the air.Massive sword flashes instantly sliced through them, and the bugs were crushed to dust. However, Chase had disturbed other ferocious beasts laying low in the forest with this move.In an instant, piercing howls were heard.Various beasts and birds came lunging at him.Chase's expression turned dark. He formed into a shadow fragment as he dodged the attack of these animals.He did not choose to escape because he could sense many wild dark beasts in this area.Chase had to get used to being in battle mode.That was the only way he was able to get into the rhythm of fighting the enemy while slowly training himself to uncover a combat techniq
The Sword Manual was extremely difficult to understand. Chase had spent close to two days on it before he could grasp the surface-level information it contained.He figured that it would take at least one month for him to be able to completely cultivate the first stance. As for the second and third stances, as well as the most powerful killing move, he did not dare to have much hope for now."I wonder if there are valuable medicinal herbs in this mountain range," Chase wondered.A sword flash brushed past suddenly, cutting off a huge chunk of a rock.Chase's eyes widened. He stopped and looked toward somewhere not far off.A dark, green venomous snake that was more than 20 feet long was slithering about, emanating a dangerous aura as it stared at Chase."A venomous dragon python?" A grim look appeared in Chase's eyes.The venomous dragon python was a rare snake-type ferocious beast. It was covered in lethal venom, and even a stage-four martial god would die instantly if he cam
However, Chase was not about to let him get away. He went after Thorn while wielding his sword.The sword's blade sliced Thorn's skin, causing blood to splatter everywhere. He was once again seriously wounded, and the slash on his chest looked horrible.That was a vicious swing of the blade. It had destroyed Thorn's core, and his basic martial arts skills were gone."No! This isn't possible…!" Thorn was chilled to the core. He fell to the ground and was close to death. His eyes were wide with disbelief. He had never expected to lose to a human martial god.This was a great humiliation!"The Black Feather Guards will tear you apart and turn you to dust!" Thorn cursed at Chase with clenched teeth."Exotic races like you are pretty dumb." Chase shook his head. "If I'm killed, your people will die with me. There are many factors to consider in this world. You need to be aware of the consequences."Chase spoke unfeelingly. The next moment, he lifted his leg and kicked Thorn in the th
"Scared? Haha!"Thorn threw back his head and laughed with a condescending look in his eye. "Human martial artists are nothing but ants. You only managed to obtain resources and heritage from what was left behind by your ancestors. It's because of mere inheritances that you think you're superior and know no fear. I'll teach you a lesson today about how weak humans are!"Chase grunted coldly, and the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand. Stepping forward, he lunged for the kill and swung his sword down.Weapons clashed, and sparks flew.Thorn's expression changed as he stumbled back a step. His arm was numb."The sword technique of a human is indeed exquisite. But such an unruly technique can only be used on low-level dark beasts. It won't be able to do anything to me." Thorn put his hands together, and a dark battle spear formed. The spear kept flashing with light like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.He moved quickly and lunged at Chase for the kill.The look in Chase's eye
"You shouldn't have left the sect like that, Chloe. What if the elders punish you?""This is all because of me, Kara. If I didn't leave, you would've gotten into trouble too…""Don't be silly. You're my junior. I can't stand by and watch you die."The women's words caught Chase's attention."Huh? It's them…"He raised an eyebrow, not expecting them to be hiding deep inside the valley.However, Chase quickly realized something, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He quietly said to himself, "They're martial artists too! Even though they're only early-stage martial gods, they possess the Energy of Drago Tiger. They must have taken some spiritual herbs and refined them."These were no ordinary women. They had a powerful background, so it was not unusual for them to possess some treasures. After all, a martial god had a long lifespan. Common herbs that were easily found would not be able to fulfill their needs."I don't care how unhappy you are, reveal yourself right now," Chase said
The lion's massive body flew off into the air.Chase lunged forward. His left hand was curved into a claw as he grabbed the lion's head. He pulled hard with his hand despite having a sword in his right.Blood splattered everywhere.Using sheer strength, he separated the lion's head from its body and flung it to the side.This caught the attention of many dark beasts that were martial gods."Huh? This human martial god looks really powerful. If we can get such a young elite to be our servant, we can make use of him for quite a while."Chase's slaughtering had crossed the line of most of these dark beasts.Powerful demon energy immediately burst from every corner of the valley. It gathered within the valley and formed into a dark chain of demon energy that came falling on Chase like a net to kill him.Chase swung the Purple Lightning Blade. The blade's flash exploded to every corner and destroyed the demon energy.There was a sharp look in Chase's eyes as he noticed something st
