He could not believe that these people would choose death voluntarily.There was a cold look in Chase's eyes.It was not only this man who spoke; several more people started to stand up from afar. They began to gather toward Chase and the rest. It was only a matter of time before they discovered the corpse.Chase said calmly, "If this is what they choose to do, we'll let go of all inhibitions and kill every one of them. Let no one escape."He gave the order.Olaf was the first to attack. He flew toward the man who had spoken.Air restriction was not in place inside the blessed spot, so Olaf formed into a flash of light as he sped toward the man.That man did not notice anything unusual. He was feeling gleeful about being able to attract Olaf's attention by speaking up.He mistakenly thought that Olaf had taken an interest in him. Otherwise, why would Olaf come toward him instead of the others who had also stood up?Olaf probably wanted to hand out a mission to him.The man wa
Chase had recognized High Heaven Plains as a location he had heard about in Eastern Ocean mythology.However, he did not have much knowledge of Eastern Ocean mythology. However, if such a name existed in stories, there would be a chance that it would be used in reality.It was just like how Chase had thought that the Four Arms of Bactria had borrowed their names from mythology.However, one of them was now very much alive and real inside his Dragon Vein Secret Realm.Chase decided to ask about it just to be safe."Honorable sir, High Heaven Plains is where the emperor is. He named the second level of the blessed spot High Heaven Plains to emphasize his uniqueness. High Heaven Plains is where the Sun Deity stays, and the emperor is comparing himself to the Sun Deity, thus it was named as such."Olaf quickly explained when he saw the look on Chase's face. Realization dawned upon Chase after that, and he no longer hesitated.Five of them stepped into the entrance of the second l
"Master, this involves the life and death of the Trevors. I have to see Mr. Hamish personally.""Is this some sort of joke? Nothing in this world can affect the Trevors' place in the world. Don't be ridiculous."Sable did not believe Olaf and burst out laughing."Master, it's true. Please believe what I'm about to say," Olaf said as he approached Sable.As Olaf was considered half his disciple and this was High Heaven Plains, Sable did not stop Olaf from getting nearer.However, Olaf still did not say a word as he got closer.Sable finally spoke up in annoyance."What exactly do you need to tell me? Say something right now or I'll report to Mr. Hamish that you abandoned your responsibilities at the Trevor Estate. You'll end up needing ten years in your post instead of five years before you're allowed to step in here."It turned out that the lead Enshrined of the Trevors would traditionally enter High Heaven Plains to cultivate after five years. This tempting reason was why nume
Only Chase knew just how difficult it was to fight against Sable when their domains crashed against each other. He was only a step away from achieving a breakthrough to become a stage-five martial lord. It was no wonder Sable looked fine after suffering an attack from Olaf. That was the gap between Sable's and Olaf's powers.Speed was of the essence, and Chase ignored all other factors to focus on that.He released all three of his main domains. The Slayer's Domain appeared first, and in an instant, it melded with the Magma Domain.Just as Sable thought that he was strong enough to hold Chase back, another surge of power came into the mix. It was the secret realm.Chase could only use these three main realms with ease. As for the two other bubble-like realms he controlled within the Dragon Vein Secret Realm, it was no issue with him to play God with them inside the Dragon Vein Secret Realm. He could not die or be destroyed in there, but it was limited within the Dragon Vein Secre
The emperor was not angry at all by Hamish's reply."Oh? Tell me who they are.""One of them is our current lead Enshrined, Olaf. The other three are the Supreme Elders of the Duponts, Allanachs, and Cabreras. All four of them are martial lords. As for the person at the very front, it's the first time I've seen him."Hamish immediately pointed out the four people's identity. It was the first time he was seeing Chase as well."Trevor, do you think all these men will be able to take down five of them?"The emperor asked when he saw dozens of powerful men sped out of the palace."There is no reason to worry about these five men, Your Majesty. Two of them are stage-two martial lords and the other two are stage-three martial lords. I don't know the man in the lead, but he's just a stage-five martial lord. There are plenty of powerhouses in High Heaven Plains. We'll be able to take down these five men."Hamish analyzed the situation with reason and logic.The emperor nodded at this r
"Mr. Sable is dead?""Did the former lead Enshrined die just like that?"Dozens of people witnessed Sable's death without being able to help him.Even Olaf found it hard to believe it.His sort-of master was killed by Chase just like that. It seemed a little too easy.Even Chase was surprised. He did want to kill Sable, but it was much easier than he thought.Those men who rushed out from the palace had unintentionally helped Chase. It was because of their appearance that Sable let his guard down.Sable might have thought anyone facing such a situation would choose to escape rather than run straight for his death. It was this thought that allowed Chase to take advantage of the situation."Let's go!"Chase gave the order when he saw everyone else still looking stunned."Don't you dare escape!""Stop, traitor! You won't escape so easily!"Chase's order had alerted Olaf and the rest, but the dozens of men coming after them heard it as well. Their shadows turned into a long tra
Chase had the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand, and the three domains behind him had materialized in reality. His physical body and spirit merged into one, and he made a fierce attack.Such a fight was no longer limited to just punches.Chase and Wendall were like two flashes of light as they kept crashing into each other. Ringing sounds from the fight filled the air.Olaf and the other three had been watching Chase and Wendall fighting grimly, but they were now slightly hopeful.If Chase could defeat this man, they might have a chance at escaping.The men surrounding Olaf, Stephen, and the rest were not in a hurry to attack due to Wendall's orders.They were chatting and laughing without worrying about Wendall losing the fight."This young man might only be a stage-five martial lord, but his combat capabilities are quite powerful. No wonder Sable died in his hands.""Yeah, but that's the extent of what he can do. Wendall is a stage-six martial lord. Every stage's power is vastly
To Chase, the Flood Dragon was just a snake with horns.Chase knew very well what a real dragon looked like because there was one right inside his secret realm.This Flood Dragon was not related to the dragon at all.The energy around Wendall went through a large transformation, and he was enveloped by black negative energy.Chase said nothing but rushed toward Wendall with a sword in hand."That guy is crazy. Wendall has already summoned the Divine Spirit, Flood Dragon. That's one of the most vicious Divine Spirits, and he's actually brave enough to run straight for it. He's asking for death."Inside the majestic palace, Hamish spoke calmly about this. He was familiar with Divine Spirit Conjure, and he was relaxed enough to discuss this with the emperor.The emperor listened but said nothing.There was no knowing what he was feeling under that composed demeanor.Hamish stopped talking when the emperor did not reply to anything he said. They focused on the fight in front of th
"What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the
Chase was the only person qualified to judge if there was murderous intent as he was the opponent in the arena.When Yara played the flute, it sounded like a beautiful melody from above the Ninth Heaven at first. If one listened closely, one could identify the vague signs of murderous intent.Chase scoffed at this. He thought it to be childish for one to hide murderous intent that way.He did not know music at all, but even he could tell what Yara was doing. Yara was looking down on him by doing this.When Chase was about to make his move, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the opponent. Chase was on a floating cloud above the Ninth Heaven in the illusion. It was just as Carla had said.He was initially flustered. How was he going to defend himself against the next killing move with such a powerful technique?While he was gathering all the vital energy within him, a sweet, melodious voice was heard. "Please don't retaliate, Mr. Collins. I bear no ill will."A tall, slen
"History scrolls don't really help with my cultivation. They make me drowsy every time, so I don't read them," Ford continued explaining without holding back. It did not seem wrong to him.However, his words made an impression on those listening.Ford was able to pick up the dragon clan's mystical techniques after reading them once. He even claimed it was not necessary to read them a second time. Was he even human? Oh, wait. He was a dragon. Tiana stared at him, not knowing what to say next.The Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land had not only fought with her talents yesterday but also with her hard work.When Tiana first entered Emerald Lake Holy Land, her master told her that her talents were upper-middle at best. She was considered extremely lucky to be accepted to the sect.Emerald Lake Holy Land was one of the top five sects in this world. It was second only to Sky Dragon Holy Land among the Four Holy Lands. Every disciple was the cream of the crop.Tiana grabbed attention t
Yara placed his flute to his lips and warned Chase, "I'll be making my move, Mr. Collins.""Please go ahead." Chase waved his hand casually and indicated for Yara to go ahead.It was the third round, and everyone at this stage was not to be underestimated. A powerhouse with a musical instrument for a weapon was rare. Chase looked forward to exchanging hands with him.The melodious sound of the flute was soon heard. All of the spectators could feel the atmosphere become more relaxed."Why is this Musical Technique non-lethal?""This can't be right. How did Yara Fries get into the third round? There's nothing formidable about this piece of music.""Is there anyone here who can explain?""He used his flute as a weapon in the previous rounds and knocked out his opponents with a couple of moves. He didn't play any music then.""Is he giving leeway to the opponent?""Could he be hinting at the opponent with his music that they're soulmates? They might end up being taken with each oth
As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni
Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b
"Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he
Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c
Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik
