Hamish said confidently, "The emperor thought he had accounted for everything, but there are many things in this world beyond calculation, like the deity here.""Deity?" Chase asked, feeling puzzled."Yes, a deity. The god enshrined by the Trevors for generations—the Great Octa Serpent. We're in its mouth right now," Hamish declared proudly.At that moment, the divine Black Turtle's disdainful voice echoed in Chase's mind, "What deity? It's just the little crawler, Shale Lowry. That so-called dragon you faced earlier was his offspring."Shale Lowry?Even hearing the name startled Chase. This was another creature from mythology."Don't worry. Back in Bactria, he was just a low-level beast. Imagine that. After being expelled from Bactria, he's now called a deity in Eastern Ocean," the divine Black Turtle scoffed."Shale was originally a beast from Bactria and got kicked out?" Chase asked curiously."Yes. During a great chaos, he recklessly slaughtered ordinary people. My brother
"Greetings, Lord Shale!" The moment the man appeared, Hamish hurriedly knelt in reverence.The man ignored Hamish and walked straight to Chase.Chase sensed that although there seemed to be nothing in front of him, he could clearly see the figure."Who are you?" Chase asked, despite already having a guess.The figure did not answer Chase's question. He just stared at Chase for a while before speaking."Call it out. I know it's here."Chase understood that this man considered it beneath him to converse with Chase directly. He accepted this, given that the being was a creature of myth.Chase opened the Dragon Vein Secret Realm.The human form of the divine Black Turtle stepped out of the secret realm, appearing directly in front of the black-clad man."It really is you, Black Turtle!" the black-clad man exclaimed excitedly as soon as the divine Black Turtle appeared.What had been mere speculation before was now confirmed. Seeing the divine Black Turtle with his own eyes, Shale
"Then pass a message to the True Dragon for me. Tell him that I, Shale, have repented after all these years and wish to return to Bactria."The True Dragon's strength back then was truly formidable. Even after so many years, Shale did not dare to set foot in Bactria, all because of a single word from the True Dragon. He was even willing to humble himself to this extent just to return."I can do that, but what's in it for me?" Chase adopted an attitude of seeking benefits."If you agree, you can ask for whatever you want," Shale quickly promised, sensing Chase's willingness to help."I haven't decided yet. For now, I need to stay in Eastern Ocean for a while. I'll give you an answer when I return to Bactria," Chase replied after a moment of thought.It was precisely because of Chase's contemplation that Shale believed his words. If Chase had agreed immediately, Shale would not have trusted him, thinking the human boy was just trying to fool him."Very well, I'll give you time to t
"This is Chase. He'll be staying in Eastern Ocean for a while. From today on, you're his servant. You must treat him as you would treat me!""What? Lord Shale, what happened?" Hamish's eyes were filled with shock. Despite his deity's orders, Hamish could not help but ask as he recalled that his family's downfall was due to this Bactrian."No need to question. Just do as I say," Shale replied coolly, not wanting to explain."Do you dare to disobey my order?""I wouldn't dare.""Then hurry up and address him properly."Shale's casual words made Hamish's facial features contort with inner conflict. After a while, he reluctantly called Chase 'sir'.Even Chase did not expect Shale to be so generous. However, it was good. Hamish was a powerful peak stage-nine martial lord of martial arts. With him by Chase's side, they could go anywhere in Eastern Ocean.Chase grunted softly, indicating his acceptance of Hamish.Seeing this, Shale finally sent them away from this place. They reappea
"Enoch, although it's a good idea to acknowledge a master, Basalt's Collins won't consider people like us with low cultivation. His first servant is the patriarch of the most powerful family of East Capital. I'm worried he won't even give us a second look.""Epoch, we will still need to try even if he isn't willing to take us in. Otherwise, we might not be able to survive."Enoch had made the decisions.He sped up his pace to get to Chase.Chase wondered what Enoch would want him.That was when Enoch suddenly knelt on both knees."My name is Enoch Sands. I'm willing to serve you as my master, Basalt's Collins. Please take me in and allow me to serve by your side."When Epoch saw Enoch taking action, he followed suit and knelt as he spoke up, "My name is Epoch Sands, and I'm willing to serve you as my master too. Please take me and Enoch in."Chase was astonished by their actions.He was initially prepared to say his goodbye to the brothers.However, this happened instead.Ch
The journey down the mountain was very slow. It was because the road down was much more difficult and they had to wait for the Sands brothers.Chase walked at the front while Hamish walked behind him.It was not long before they heard some rustling behind. Chase knew without looking back that the Sands brothers were done packing up and had caught up to Chase.They looked funny carrying their luggage."What are all these? That's a lot of luggage," Chase asked them curiously.This evoked enthusiasm in Enoch."Master, these are all good stuff. Epoch and I accumulated all of these throughout our years on Holy Mountain. They're all spiritual herbs and spiritual medicine that ordinary people won't be able to get their hands on."Enoch's pride piqued Chase's curiosity. He poked his head out to glance at these items. He burst out laughing.Were those even spiritual medicine?Chase reached his senses out and found that they were only grade seven or eight spiritual herbs. They could n
The first thing Chase did after getting down the mountain was to get the Sands brothers to change.Hamish still looked quite proper, and so did Chase. However, the Sands brothers were completely disheveled.Their clothes were just enough to cover up their private parts.They had been living as hermits up in the mountains and did not think much about it. Now that they had left the mountain, they looked out of place with society and were more like wild men.There was a store selling apparel at the foot of the mountain. However, the Sands brothers shocked everyone inside when they stepped inside.The store owner even spoke up against them, "What are you beggars doing here? Get out."Chase immediately took out a wad of Eastern Ocean's money and flung it in front of the owner. It was only then that the owner broke out in a wide smile."Please take your time to look around and choose any item, sir."The Sands brothers changed into new clothes and even picked a few more apparel."Sir
"What's with your reaction? Shouldn't I be back?"Chase's cold reply scared Aaron so much that he jumped out of bed and plopped down on his knees in front of Chase."That's not what I meant. I just didn't think you'd be back so quickly." Aaron had broken out in a cold sweat.Chase did not want to waste any more time as he stared at the trembling Aaron."Where's the woman who came with me?"Chase had a bad feeling about Bianca's disappearance.A troubled look appeared on Aaron's face when Chase mentioned Bianca. He stammered, "She… She…"Chase immediately roared when he saw this, "What happened to her?! Talk!"Aaron did not dare to hide anything when Chase lost his temper."She was taken away by Sonar Organization." Chase was taken aback by Aaron's reply.Sonar Organization was involved?Not only that, they were even brazen enough to take her from Eastern Ocean's top triad?"And you stood by to watch while Sonar Organization took my friend away?""Basalt's Collins, those
"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
Chase's eyes narrowed as he observed the mountain of gold and jewels gleaming before him. They were treasures of immense value.He cast a cold glance at the glittering heap and shook his head. "These baubles are worth less than your pitiful insects. They don't even qualify to buy your life."Before his words faded, Chase extended his hand, unleashing a sharp burst of sword energy.The sword energy tore through the treasure, shattering the gold and jewels into dust, leaving not a single piece intact."I told you, you'll die a miserable death." The elder clenched his teeth while his fists trembled with rage.Suddenly, the space around them became distorted. A strange and eerie energy weaved itself into a cage that encased Chase."Devouring Spirit Ghost Domain!" the elder roared, his bloodshot eyes wide with madness. "You're doomed! I'll make you suffer every imaginable torment before you die!"Chase felt the oppressive atmosphere around him intensify, the air thick with the mournf
"You're doomed!" the elder spat venomously, his eyes ablaze with hatred.The Gold Devouring Voodoo Bugs were not so easily eradicated. Their corpses would transform into sustenance for dormant eggs within them, allowing the swarm to regrow stronger and more voracious than before. Eventually, they would consume their hosts' life essence entirely."I'll make sure you'll die without even leaving a corpse behind!" the elder bellowed, his voice tinged with madness.The desolate front yard crumbled under the destructive force of their battle, leaving not a single brick or stone intact.The elder's tattered robes fell apart, revealing a body covered in deep sword wounds. Blood gushed out from every gash. Yet he persisted, his resolve remaining unshaken. He believed Chase was merely a newly-ascended peak semi-saint, far from being a match for him."You won't win—not while I have the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bugs!" he roared, his bloodshot eyes burning with frenzy. "As long as they exist, I'l
