Chase had killed right in front of the emperor in a bloody manner. Joel was shocked by this thought despite being covered with blood. He could not figure out who these people in front of him were. Were they crazy?The old man, whom Joel thought was the emperor, was shocked as well. He had been looking calm throughout but was now panicking. His fingers trembled as he pointed at Chase."What do you want?"Chase was not bothered to reply. He moved in a flash and appeared in front of Joel.He formed a picture in the air. It was Bianca's picture."Where did you take this woman to?"Joel looked at Chase's malevolent eyes.He wanted to lie. However, Chase immediately warned him, "If you dare lie to me, you'll end up in a worse fate than him!"Chase pointed at the ground covered in blood and spoke coldly.Joel had no choice but to tell the truth when faced with Chase's threat."After I took this woman from Yorels Organization, I kept moving until I arrived at the palace and handed he
The divine Black Turtle carefully sensed around it before speaking up once more."Mr. Black Turtle, do you think the emperor is really in there?""Who cares? You'll find out when you get inside. I'll show myself if he's in there. What's there to be afraid of?"The divine Black Turtle spoke up condescendingly.Chase had the same idea. It was either the emperor stayed hidden or he showed up. If he did show up, so would the divine Black Turtle. What was there to be afraid of? He could even summon Shale if he needed to.He no longer hesitated.Chase channeled his true energy, and a change happened to him. His body became liquid-like, and he slowly melded into the light screen."Be careful, master," The Sands brothers burst out saying when they saw this.Even Hamish was frowning at this. He wondered if he should enter the palace with Chase.Chase noticed this. Half of his head was left when he gave the order, "Wait out here for me."After that, he vanished into the light screen co
Quinn stood before him, her appearance slightly disheveled but thankfully uninjured. Chase could not be sure whether it was due to the emperor's intentions or Quinn's own methods of protecting herself.His eyes filled with concern as he looked at Quinn. Nevertheless, she smiled softly at him as her expression bloomed like a flower."Chase, don't worry. I'm fine. This old man may be powerful, but I'm not so easy to deal with either.""That's good to hear. By the way, Quinn, how did you end up here?" Chase asked, finally feeling at ease after closely inspecting her and finding no injuries."I saw the message you sent back to Bactria from Silent Creek and rushed to Eastern Ocean to find you. I followed your trail and learned from Yorels Organization that Bianca was captured by someone claiming to be the emperor and taken to the palace."So, I hurried to the palace to rescue her. When I broke in and searched the place, I found Bianca here. But just as I was about to take her away, thi
Who would have thought that the divine turtle, which seemed so ordinary back then, would be this powerful?If only the emperor had known, he would have nurtured it sooner."So what if I have?" Chase did not deny it."Could you ask the divine turtle to help with something?" the emperor asked."And what would that be?" Chase replied, skeptical."You saw it that day on High Heaven Plains—a beast saved Trevor. To be honest, that beast is the Great Octa Serpent that has been a legend in Eastern Ocean for ages. I need you to ask the divine turtle to take action and kill that beast.""What?" Chase exclaimed in surprise at the emperor's words. Was he talking about Shale, the Great Octa Serpent of Eastern Ocean?"If it's your nation's guardian spirit, why would you, as the emperor, want it dead?" Chase questioned, clearly puzzled."Hmph, that's just a tale spread among the common folk," the emperor scoffed. "The truth is that the beast often manipulates the people of Eastern Ocean, trea
After the emperor spoke calmly, Chase immediately felt as if he were going up against the entire blessed spot. An unimaginable, terrifying pressure bore down on him, causing his bones to crack and creak.It seemed that only by prostrating himself on the ground, just as the emperor had suggested, could Chase relieve this immense pressure.Despite his bones beginning to fracture, Chase stood firm, his gaze growing more determined. It was filled with the intent to kill. Despite his profound strength, the emperor could not help but feel uneasy under Chase's unwavering stare. With a mere thought, the emperor made the pressure vanish.As soon as the pressure lifted, Chase felt a sense of relief, followed by overwhelming weakness.He began to stumble backward, nearly collapsing from exhaustion."Chase!" Quinn, who stood behind him, quickly caught Chase's faltering body. Her eyes were filled with concern."Basalt's Collins, I'm giving you one more chance. Think carefully before you ans
Trapped and unable to escape, the emperor unleashed the full extent of his lifetime's power. In an instant, his strength surged beyond the limits of a martial lord. It was reaching the level of a martial sovereign, with his power still on the rise."Hmph, I let you escape once in my presence. Do you think I'll let you escape a second time?" The divine Black Turtle paid no heed to the overwhelming surge of power. It lifted a claw and struck toward the emperor's body."No!" A tragic cry echoed throughout the blessed spot as the emperor's body disintegrated before Chase's eyes.As the divine Black Turtle's massive claw passed through, it did not leave an earth-shattering explosion. The emperor was simply reduced to ashes.Chase realized this was because the divine Black Turtle's power far exceeded his own, making it difficult for him to grasp the true nature of what had happened.After obliterating the emperor with a single swipe, the divine Black Turtle reverted to his human for
As for the fake emperor and Joel, who were hiding in the shadows, they stood frozen. They stared blankly at the spot where the palace once stood."M-My palace!" the fake emperor lamented, still mourning the sudden disappearance of his palace.However, Joel was thinking differently. The young leader had entered the palace. Now, with the palace gone, it seemed like the perfect time for revenge.If he could quietly retreat and inform his family, along with the families of his four deceased friends, the combined forces of their clans could easily capture this group. Once they were captured...Joel could not even begin to imagine the possibilities. Knowing now that the person in front of him was merely a fake emperor, if he could seize everyone involved, could he not then ascend to the throne himself?The thought sent shivers through him. He quietly slipped away while controlling his excitement.…Inside the blessed spot, Chase managed to completely refine it as time passed. He absor
"Yes, it's best not to move her for now. Let her stay here. Any fluctuation in spiritual energy will agitate her Dragon Song Physique and speed up its eruption," Lucas continued to advise.Chase fell into deep thought. Leaving her here was not impossible, especially since he had already refined this blessed spot. Staying here was practically the same as being in his own inner world.As he pondered, Quinn approached him."Chase, please save her," Quinn pleaded with a hint of desperation in her bright eyes."Quinn, it's not that I don't want to save her; I just don't have a way to do it," Chase responded, feeling troubled."Didn't we discuss this before? Wasn't it said that if someone took her Dragon Song Physique, it could save her?" Quinn suggested gently."You mean…" Chase recalled the scenes back in Capital City and instantly understood Quinn's meaning. She was suggesting that he take Bianca's virginity to save her."Yeah, Chase. Don't worry, I really don't mind, and Bianca he
