Chase's consciousness was pulled into the Dragon Vein Secret Realm when the red bubble suddenly appeared.It looked insignificant, but its sudden appearance already had it on the top of the three other bubbles. It even looked like the red bubble was lording over the other three spaces.The divine Black Turtle had been cultivating when he was jolted awake."What are you doing, young man?"He stared at it for a while before finally speaking out with a grim expression.Chase looked bewildered as well."I… I have no idea what happened. This thing suddenly appeared right after I achieved a breakthrough in my cultivation.""What? Are you telling me that this realm appeared just because you achieved a minor breakthrough?"Even the divine Black Turtle was in disbelief.The energy was converging into realm energy. Even if Chase were a martial lord powerhouse, this was just too much."What kind of monster are you, young man?"The divine Black Turtle was utterly astonished.Chase real
Olaf slowly spoke up."Search the entire house. Search the place until you find that person!""Yes, Mr. Olaf!"Everyone split up to conduct the search after getting the orders. They went to every corner of the Trevor residence to try and find any clues on this person."What's wrong?"Once everyone left, the only woman among them, Zoe, asked calmly."Something really bad happened. I can sense a thick scent of blood inside the residence. There was a huge, bloody battle here not too long ago. I just can't tell who could be behind this.""What? That's impossible. Who would dare start a fight here in East Capital? That's seeking death. Did you make a mistake, Mr. Olaf?"Zoe was astonished. It never occurred to her there could be someone so brazen.That was when Josiah, who had been silent all this time, spoke up as well."Mr. Olaf is right. That fight did happen."Zoe was finally convinced of this."The only person in East Capital who would do something like this would be His Ma
Dozens of men surrounded Chase. Chase remained stoic. His expression did not betray any emotions.He wondered what was it about the Trevors that could convince so many powerhouses to swear loyalty to them.It was easy to tell who belonged to the Trevors. Besides the three people in proper attire, the rest were dressed in random clothes and had no unified apparel."Mr. Olaf, is that the person who created so much trouble for the Trevors? It's just one man. What are we waiting for? Let me have a go and take him down."The impatient man, Todd Koffman, spoke up. Olaf nodded.Todd launched an attack right at Chase.Everyone watched as Chase moved to the side and evaded it.He spoke up calmly after that, "I'll only kill members of the Trevors today. If you don't want to die, leave now. You might be able to survive if you do that. Any later and you'll be left with no choice!"Chase said this out loud.Todd and the rest of the powerhouses were taken aback.After that, all of them bro
"Yeah. How about if we help him out with this? We can't let the Enshrined wait too long.""Sounds like a plan."After some discussion, three more people moved forward to attack Chase at the same time. They ran into the mist.They ended up just like Todd. They were turned into nutrients the moment they stepped into the mist, where they were killed silently by Chase.Anyone who dared to attack him had to pay with their lives.Chase had only planned to fight the Trevors, but if these people wanted to seek death, they only had themselves to blame."That would be four marquises of martial arts powerhouses who have attacked him if you include those three men and Todd Koffman. That young man should be captured by now.""It would seem so."Everyone began discussing this again. No one thought the mist posed any threat.It was just a mist. It was something common in Eastern Ocean, and everyone knew this technique.Another fifteen minutes passed, and those three men turned silent as wel
"What the hell is this? It's terrifying!""Save me, Mr. Olaf!""Help!"A man without limbs started to shout for help from the Trevors' three Enshrined martial artists."I'm not a Trevor, I'm just a guest. Let me go. I'll leave the Trevors. Spare my life!""Have mercy on me! I'm not even a guest, I'm just passing by!"Someone with half a body begged for his life."You're a bloodthirsty monster! I'll curse you with a horrible death! How could Eastern Ocean have such a sinner like you? The emperor won't allow you to live. You'll end up dead for sure."Someone threatened and cursed at the same time.Chase ignored him.All he did was continue releasing his Slayer's Domain.It was right at this moment, three domain energies appeared.The Trevors' three Enshrined martial artists were finally taking action.With all three of them working together, they were able to delay Chase's domain from fully spreading."Everyone, quick! Come next to the three of us."Josiah saw that all thr
"That's right! That man is a martial lord powerhouse. He hid his true powers before to trick us into our deaths. Such a despicable action is undeserving for a martial lord. Honorable Enshrined, please let us vent our anger at him once you maim him."The three Enshrined had no time to bother themselves with these people.No one had any idea how much pressure there was when facing Chase.All three of them had given everything they had but could only move half a step forward.Half a step was enough for them to break out in sweat.This was not normal!Olaf was stuck. As the leader, he was the one facing the most pressure from Chase. The veins on his face were throbbing, and his entire body trembled.He could not move forward nor could he retreat.However, that man was only one person while he had two others with him. It had to be a much more difficult fight for that man!It was because of this thought that Olaf stood his ground.A few minutes passed, and all three of them were sw
The moment a fully formed domain of the Dragon Vein Secret Realm descended, it was instantly clear that it was incomparable to an incomplete one.Olaf immediately sensed something was wrong. With no time to warn the others, he quickly moved aside. The immense pressure from the descending domain crashed down on Zoe and Josiah."No, stop!" they cried out, but it was too late.Their cultivation levels were already lower than Chase's. With Olaf, the strongest among them, moving out of the way first, they had no chance. The overwhelming force of the domain crushed them instantly, along with the dozen or so survivors who had been hiding behind them.In a single moment, everyone except Chase and a severely injured Olaf was dead. The scene was filled with severed limbs and splattered blood.Olaf, who had once been so arrogant, now trembled in fear. His face was pale, and his whole body shook as he pointed at Chase. "W-What kind of demon are you? Who are you?"Chase glanced coldly at Olaf
In the end, Olaf could not withstand the pressure and finally spoke up."It's because the Trevors control Holy Mountain, the only blessed spot in Eastern Ocean. If we want to advance further, we have no choice but to align ourselves with the Trevors.""But isn't Forage Mountain under the control of your so-called emperor?" Chase asked, feeling intrigued."The emperor hails from the Trevors! But this information isn't known to the general public."This revelation hit Chase like a bombshell, snapping him awake. Of course, Eastern Ocean's emperor would not be without his own family. Naturally, the emperor's family would be the most powerful in Eastern Ocean, who were the Trevors. How could Chase have overlooked such an obvious fact?Chase shook his head as if trying to dispel a fog clouding his mind.Since entering Eastern Ocean, he had not once considered this. Could it be that some unseen force had been influencing him all along?After examining himself for a while and finding no
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
