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
In a hidden void that Chase and the others were unaware of, the emperor stared grimly at a mirror showing their images.Who could have guessed that even after the divine Black Turtle made a move, the emperor would still be alive? In fact, not only was he alive, but he was in good shape."Just you wait, Chase Collins. I'm letting you go today, but when the great changes in heaven and earth come, I'll make you pay back everything you've gained today twice over! You, a mere mortal, dare to insult me?"And as for the Black Turtle, even if you're a Divine Beast of Bactria, you'll die once I fully recover my power. Just you wait!" The emperor's furious voice echoed through the space, unheard by anyone else....Just as they exited the front hall, Chase sensed a crowd of martial artists outside, many of whom were quite strong. Confused, Chase glanced back at the fake emperor."Are those people outside your doing?" Chase asked.Hearing this, the fake emperor shook his head repeatedly. T
At this moment, Joel hesitated. Should he reveal to everyone that the emperor was a fake? The thought of having served this impostor for several days left him feeling deeply unsettled."Your Majesty, is there something you're not telling us? Don't worry. With us here, no one can threaten you. Just speak your mind," said Hans, the current patriarch of the Wenger family. He seemed to sense something was amiss.With Hans' words as encouragement, others began to chime in."Yes, Your Majesty. If you're being coerced, just blink your eyes.""Or stomp your foot. That works too."The crowd continued to urge him, each releasing their powerful aura. It was as if to reassure the emperor that they had his back.However, the fake emperor remained unmoved and stood by his statement. "I truly haven't been coerced. Let them leave."These troublesome individuals—he wanted them gone as soon as possible. Even the real emperor could not contend Chase, so this impostor had little hope for these fami
From the moment Hans learned of the Trevors' downfall, his mindset had shifted. The mountain that weighed on him had collapsed!His family would now become the most powerful, and he would be the patriarch of the foremost family!This was his moment to demonstrate authority, especially in front of the other family elders. Hans could not let this chance slip by.As he was about to step forward and take the lead, Joel grabbed his father's arm and said, "Dad, this kid seems strange. It's better to be cautious."Hans looked at Joel's caution with disdain. "Joel, you're still too young and don't understand my strength. Today, I'll show you why I can overpower everyone and sit as the head of this family."Ignoring his son's warning, Hans leaped forward, heading straight for Chase."This kid is dead for sure. To say such reckless words in front of so many of us… he really doesn't know his place.""Exactly, he killed a few young ones and now thinks he's invincible. He's nothing but a jok
To those watching, Hans collapsed instantly after being struck by the energy, his condition unknown.Seeing this, Joel was the first to sense something was wrong—his respected father had gone down without even managing a single move.It was impossible! Yet, the scene before him left no room for denial.Joel was visibly shocked, and he exclaimed, "What kind of sorcery did you use?" He immediately took to the air, rushing to his father’s side in an attempt to save him.As Joel leaped, several others in the crowd also hurried to Hans’ side. Among them, an elderly man placed his hand on Hans, checking for signs of life.After a brief pause, he grimly said two words, "He's dead."The declaration sent a shockwave of silence through the crowd. Some even began to retreat, inching toward the palace entrance, ready to flee at the first sign of danger.The patriarch of the esteemed Wenger family, a martial lord of considerable strength, had been killed without even getting a chance to stri
"It's him, the patriarch of the Trevors. I was fortunate enough to meet him once before. That's definitely his face." Though Hamish said nothing, someone still confirmed his identity. Earlier, no one had paid attention to him, but with Lazarus' reminder, it became impossible to ignore him."Is it really him? What's he doing here? I heard the Trevors were wiped out. Why does he look completely fine?" The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.Despite the chatter, Hamish remained silent, wearing a look of reluctance to speak. Lazarus, however, seemed to latch onto Hamish as if he had found a lifeline."Hamish, your entire family was burned down. How can you stay calm and hide here? Come, join me in taking down this boy. Surely, His Majesty will help you rebuild the Trevors if he sees our efforts.""That's right, Trevor. We must seize this opportunity to make amends," someone chimed in.Joel, too, pleaded with tears in his eyes, "Trevor, please avenge my father's death. Afterw
"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
Mia, Lourde, and Clef had also dropped their disguises and revealed their true faces.Lourde was no longer timid and submissive. Instead, he pulled out a pistol and aimed it at the crowd.Clef looked calm and confident now, his previous flattery completely gone, replaced by a defiant expression. In his hands was a submachine gun.Their surrounding subordinates each held weapons too, pointing them at the passengers.Mia tore off her outer clothes, revealing a slit black dress that clung tightly to her figure. A small, intricately designed pistol hung from her thigh.She drew it with elegance and pointed it directly at Chase and the others. "You three, behave yourselves. Don't meddle where you don't belong."Chase and his companions froze, feeling stunned—especially Chase.This development was not what he remembered. Were Garth and Mia the boss of this level? He decided to hold back for now and observe.Seeing that Chase and the other passengers seemed too shocked to react and we
Cyril approached Garth, who was lying on a stretcher on the floor. The crowd opened up a path for him. When he spoke, there was some sort of authority in his tone.Chase smiled and shook his head when he saw this. It looked like Cyril was the key to getting past this level. If things went according to plan, Cyril would soon cross paths with a notorious party. That would be the boss they had to defeat to get past the third level.Cyril opened his yellow bag while the crowd watched curiously. He took out a set of silver needles."That's quite a decent quality!" Willow could not help exclaiming.Medical and poison skills were similar. As a poison expert, Willow had pretty good medical skills. She could tell if a set of silver needles was good quality. Moreover, Cyril's technique was excellent. Willow could not help clapping.The passengers around her jumped at the noise."Why are you clapping when he hasn't even saved the patient?"A sleazy-looking man complained. His breath smelle
"Ms. Worthington, your grandfather has been suffering from this illness for years…"Lourde was not comforted at all by her comfort. He took off his glasses and wiped away his sweat. He began to tremble as he spoke."Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I hired Dr. Clef specially to treat my grandfather. Nothing will happen."The tall Tia Worthington was confident with the doctor's medical skills.Chase started to wonder about this. "If she has gotten a doctor to help her grandfather, why would the staff broadcast for help?"Willow and Walter realized the same thing when they heard Tia. However, they held back their thoughts when Chase said nothing.A young man of about 20 suddenly appeared. He was dressed simply and had a yellow bag on his back."Where's the patient? Let me have a look!" he yelled out.If he had taken time to dress up, he would have looked as handsome as Chase. As for his current situation, anyone who saw him thought that he was ordinary."Where did this bump
"Lastly, if I'm right about this, Carla should be here, but she's stuck on a random level. We'll definitely see her then.""Huh? Really?"Barnabas found this incredulous at first but later thought it made sense. Most importantly, he would not be able to convince the Supreme Elder otherwise even if he did not believe it. All Barnabas could do was agree.Sykes had an even more blunt personality. He would follow whatever the Supreme Elder said.The only thing Sykes cared about was finding a breakthrough to peak martial god.That was when he spoke up, "Should we go in now, Elder Ricky?""Go ahead."Ricky gave an exasperated reply and stepped into the teleportation door.Barnabas and Sykes looked at each other and followed suit.…On the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore, Chase and the others appeared in a plane cabin. He was relieved at first. Chase channeled his vital energy and realized there was also a seal here, but it was a higher quality seal than before. It was
Both sects had always been at loggerheads over resources and power in the past. It was difficult to sort out the feud they had.However, things changed in this generation when Carla led her sect to the top to be on the same level as the Nefarious Deity Sect. She did it all with her own capabilities.The other sects in the nether realm were also hungering for an opportunity to move up their rankings, so both sects came to a temporary compromise.It was because of Carla's feelings for Fallon that the relationship of both sects improved slightly.Dominic and Ricky were elders from the older generation who had handed over their power to the next generation, which was why their fight was not as intense as before. However, they would still taunt and insult each other in every other form possible.When Dominic heard this rumor, he assumed that Fallon had Carla wrapped around his finger.In other words, the Nefarious Deity Sect would soon own the Evil Shadow Sect. He was particularly del
