As Chase was about to leave the palace, he seemed to remember something and turned back, speaking casually.It was just one sentence, but it plunged Eastern Ocean into years of chaos."Oh, by the way, I killed your so-called emperor. The one in front of you now is just a puppet."...In a certain void, Hamish shed his usual reserved demeanor and directly blocked Chase's path. Upon learning that Chase intended to fly straight back, Hamish decided to make his stance clear and stood in his way."Basalt's Collins, you're just going to head back to Bactria like this? Have you forgotten something?""Forgotten something? I haven't forgotten anything. Unless you're saying you don't want to go back to Bactria with me? That's fine. If you don't want to come, you can stay here," Chase responded, pretending not to understand Hmaish's intentions.Chase knew well that Hamish's actions were a reminder about the beast he truly served, Shale. It was obvious that Shale had given Hamish orders t
"Kid, my strength might not match that of the Four Great Divine Beasts. But when it comes to this matter, even the combined might of all four doesn't surpass me."Since the day I was forced to leave Bactria, I've been waiting for this moment, and this outcome is absolutely certain. As for how I know this, it's tied to my innate divine ability, which I will only reveal if you agree to my terms. Otherwise, I won't say a word."And don't try to deceive me. From the first moment I saw you, I sensed the aura of the True Dragon on you. The Black Turtle assumes I approached you because of him, but little does he know, I was here for you from the start."At this point, Shale had already taken a straightforward approach. Meanwhile, within the Dragon Vein Secret Realm, the divine Black Turtle also began to pay attention to their conversation. Hearing Shale's words, the Black Turtle spoke in Chase's mind."Kid, the aura of my elder brother is indeed prominent on you. I sensed it the first t
Just as Chase was still confused about what Shale meant, he suddenly felt a massive black eye appear behind him.In front of the eye, Chase's body seemed tiny and insignificant. Before he could react, an irresistible force pulled him in.…It was late autumn, and by the side of a street in an ancient city, two old trees remained lush and green.The night wind blew through the leaves, carrying faint sounds like sobbing. Below the trees stood a century-old handicraft shop, run by a grandfather and his grandson. They were well-known in the area.At that moment, across from the shop and on top of a skyscraper stood several figures. They seemed to be led by an elderly priest. He had an ethereal appearance but a cold and fierce gaze."Master, is it true that the revival of spiritual energy is stirring up demonic spirits?" asked a middle-aged man with graying hair and an expensive suit standing behind the priest.He was the chairman of a renowned real estate group in Capital City, acco
It was quite an attention-grabbing sight. A box of money filled with hundred-dollar bills appeared. The wads of cash came up to about a few million.The people standing behind the box were all extraordinary figures.This money was nothing to Chase, but to Flynn, it was a huge amount of money.He could not understand why he was given the money and asked about it in bewilderment."What do you want?""We want your shop! Move out from here today!" A man who looked like a manager stepped forward and said authoritatively."What? I didn't say I was selling!" Flynn was puzzled."We're the most famous real estate group in Capital City, and we want your shop. Take the money and leave if you know what's good for you!""Oh!" Flynn finally understood what was going on. He thought about it and replied, "It's the first time I've heard of this, but this shop has been handed down to me by my ancestors. I'm not selling it!"This shop had been in the family for generations, and his grandfather w
The rich and powerful real estate group did not seem to fear this. They were used to being a tyrannical presence there."What's going on with Flynn? Stop fighting!"Not long later, a woman called Celeste Koch from a neighboring shop came running out. She yelled out anxiously to Flynn."I'm fine, wifey! These people are asking for a beating, and I'm just taking the opportunity to practice!" Flynn looked back and answered with a smile while fighting. The fight did not seem to be affecting him."Do you have any idea what's happening right now? Stop yelling cheeky answers back at me. They might end up breaking your limbs!"Celeste immediately berated him. She knew that Flynn may be acting cheekily on the surface, but he knew what he was doing."I'll be fine! They're just a bunch of good-for-nothing bullies!"Flynn was still replying with a smile while fighting. He punched and kicked with everything he had.However, he had only just replied when a sleazy man raised a bat at Flynn. F
Flynn waited a while before his grandfather woke up. He got straight to the point and asked, "Grandpa, have you heard about Monster Spirits Roam?""What?" Stuart Cooper, who was in bed, began coughing as he sat up from the bed in fright.Chase was astonished to see this. This was an ordinary old man who was in bed because he was sickly. Even he was pumped with energy the moment he heard those words."Where did you hear that from?" Stuart looked nervous and sat up immediately. This was important news to him."A real estate group was here today to buy over our shop. An old priest among them mentioned it.""Oh? Judging by the dirt on you, you must have fought with them."Stuart got out of bed and sat on the chair before continue talking to Flynn seriously."I have. An old priest among them mentioned Monster Spirits Roam. He even said we won't get through tonight."Flynn knew this had to be serious when he saw the look on Stuart's face. He quickly told Stuart everything that happen
"The spiritual energy revivement this time is leaking from the burial grounds of Constantine the Great. Our family is related closely to him. We can't allow any outsiders to create trouble."Stuart began setting things up while explaining to Flynn.Flynn nodded seriously as he listened. It had been a long time since Stuart had spoken so much. Flynn had to make sure he remembered everything.It was only now that Flynn realized that the room had a lot of booby traps."Flynn, you don't know this, but the Coopers from ancient times were gravekeepers of Constantine the Great! They were dutiful and loyal, and what we're about to do today is part of that duty!"For some reason, Stuart seemed to have changed into a completely different person since finding out about Monster Spirits Roam. He was excited and spoke more than usual.Flynn had never heard him say all these things before.Chase was the only one who felt his emotions go on a rollercoaster ride after listening to the old man's
There were sounds of car engines running outside but to them, those cars sounded mournful.They were trapped by enemies inside and out.However, Flynn was not afraid. He burst out laughing instead. "Haha! I've always wanted to do something big like this! Come on. Just come at us, everyone!""Stop laughing. Do you think you're strong enough?"Stuart suddenly berated him, and Flynn was frightened into staying quiet."It doesn't matter. Come to the ancestral altar and pay your respects to your ancestors," Stuart said with a stern look on his face."Alright!"Flynn did not hesitate as he immediately knelt and paid respects.Stuart grabbed a statue of an old man from the altar and smashed it to the floor."Huh?! What are you doing, Grandpa? You never allowed me to get near this altar. What are you doing?"Flynn was bewildered.The statue broke apart, and green smoke came out of it. A voice suddenly sounded in Flynn's mind."Heaven and earth, listen to me. The great deity is immo
The Sword Manual was extremely difficult to understand. Chase had spent close to two days on it before he could grasp the surface-level information it contained.He figured that it would take at least one month for him to be able to completely cultivate the first stance. As for the second and third stances, as well as the most powerful killing move, he did not dare to have much hope for now."I wonder if there are valuable medicinal herbs in this mountain range," Chase wondered.A sword flash brushed past suddenly, cutting off a huge chunk of a rock.Chase's eyes widened. He stopped and looked toward somewhere not far off.A dark, green venomous snake that was more than 20 feet long was slithering about, emanating a dangerous aura as it stared at Chase."A venomous dragon python?" A grim look appeared in Chase's eyes.The venomous dragon python was a rare snake-type ferocious beast. It was covered in lethal venom, and even a stage-four martial god would die instantly if he cam
However, Chase was not about to let him get away. He went after Thorn while wielding his sword.The sword's blade sliced Thorn's skin, causing blood to splatter everywhere. He was once again seriously wounded, and the slash on his chest looked horrible.That was a vicious swing of the blade. It had destroyed Thorn's core, and his basic martial arts skills were gone."No! This isn't possible…!" Thorn was chilled to the core. He fell to the ground and was close to death. His eyes were wide with disbelief. He had never expected to lose to a human martial god.This was a great humiliation!"The Black Feather Guards will tear you apart and turn you to dust!" Thorn cursed at Chase with clenched teeth."Exotic races like you are pretty dumb." Chase shook his head. "If I'm killed, your people will die with me. There are many factors to consider in this world. You need to be aware of the consequences."Chase spoke unfeelingly. The next moment, he lifted his leg and kicked Thorn in the th
"Scared? Haha!"Thorn threw back his head and laughed with a condescending look in his eye. "Human martial artists are nothing but ants. You only managed to obtain resources and heritage from what was left behind by your ancestors. It's because of mere inheritances that you think you're superior and know no fear. I'll teach you a lesson today about how weak humans are!"Chase grunted coldly, and the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand. Stepping forward, he lunged for the kill and swung his sword down.Weapons clashed, and sparks flew.Thorn's expression changed as he stumbled back a step. His arm was numb."The sword technique of a human is indeed exquisite. But such an unruly technique can only be used on low-level dark beasts. It won't be able to do anything to me." Thorn put his hands together, and a dark battle spear formed. The spear kept flashing with light like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.He moved quickly and lunged at Chase for the kill.The look in Chase's eye
"You shouldn't have left the sect like that, Chloe. What if the elders punish you?""This is all because of me, Kara. If I didn't leave, you would've gotten into trouble too…""Don't be silly. You're my junior. I can't stand by and watch you die."The women's words caught Chase's attention."Huh? It's them…"He raised an eyebrow, not expecting them to be hiding deep inside the valley.However, Chase quickly realized something, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He quietly said to himself, "They're martial artists too! Even though they're only early-stage martial gods, they possess the Energy of Drago Tiger. They must have taken some spiritual herbs and refined them."These were no ordinary women. They had a powerful background, so it was not unusual for them to possess some treasures. After all, a martial god had a long lifespan. Common herbs that were easily found would not be able to fulfill their needs."I don't care how unhappy you are, reveal yourself right now," Chase said
The lion's massive body flew off into the air.Chase lunged forward. His left hand was curved into a claw as he grabbed the lion's head. He pulled hard with his hand despite having a sword in his right.Blood splattered everywhere.Using sheer strength, he separated the lion's head from its body and flung it to the side.This caught the attention of many dark beasts that were martial gods."Huh? This human martial god looks really powerful. If we can get such a young elite to be our servant, we can make use of him for quite a while."Chase's slaughtering had crossed the line of most of these dark beasts.Powerful demon energy immediately burst from every corner of the valley. It gathered within the valley and formed into a dark chain of demon energy that came falling on Chase like a net to kill him.Chase swung the Purple Lightning Blade. The blade's flash exploded to every corner and destroyed the demon energy.There was a sharp look in Chase's eyes as he noticed something st
Chase knew that among all the shadow beasts in the region, these creatures provided the greatest challenge for honing his strength.The more powerful the beast, the stronger its physique, and its blood essence carried immense energy. Consuming it could bring tremendous benefits to a martial god.However, the area where he had just fought was still on the outermost edges of the Forbidden Zone, meaning there were no truly formidable shadow beasts nearby.Another deafening beastly cry shattered the silence, shaking the heavens.A massive shadow loomed over Chase, blocking out the sunlight and forcing him to squint against the darkness.His brows furrowed, and when he looked up, his pupils contracted sharply.A colossal black eagle soared above, its wings flaring like razor-sharp blades, dominating the skies with imperial arrogance.This shadow beast's aura was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary martial god-level beast!It had reached the peak of stage-nine martial god!
"Stay… Stay back!"The white-robed young man was terrified, stumbling backward in panic."What are you all standing there for?! Save me!" He screamed, his voice filled with desperation.Finally snapping out of his daze, the black-robed martial artist lunged at Chase, his palm slicing through the air in a powerful strike. However, he underestimated Chase's strength.With a single impact, the man's entire arm shattered into dust. He let out a miserable scream as his body was sent flying!Chase's attacks were too swift, too fierce. Even with the two of them working together, they could not withstand his power!"Run!"The last remaining martial artist in green robes was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body.He turned to flee without hesitation.Chase chased him down in an instant, delivering a powerful whip-like kick that knocked him unconscious on the spot.Then, he grabbed both lifeless bodies and tossed them into the undergrowth. Only after dealing with them did he
Hearing this, Chase immediately understood the situation. They were trying to rob him!He spread his hands casually. "Oh, that thing? I already ate it."Beside him, Emilia nearly burst out laughing. This guy was too good at bluffing!Chase rolled his eyes. "If you want it so badly, why don't you come take it?""You refuse to cooperate? Fine, I'll make you regret it!" The young man in white robes grew furious, his expression turning ice-cold. "You little bastard! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you practice martial arts! If you don't hand it over, I'll break your damn legs today!""Oh? Is that so?" Chase grinned, showing his teeth. "In that case, why don't we spar a little?""You're asking for death!" The white-robed young man charged at him, his companion following closely behind.A terrifying surge of spiritual energy exploded outward.Chase narrowed his eyes. With one punch, he sent both of them flying backward with a loud bang!"W-What?! This is peak… martial god
The young woman's face flushed red as she hastily pulled her collar together, her wary gaze locked onto Chase."Are you a body-refining martial artist? Attacking me like that was despicable, shameless, and downright vile! I'll kill you to uphold justice!" she shouted indignantly.Chase let out a helpless chuckle. "Miss, I just saved your life, yet instead of thanking me, you call me despicable?"The woman stiffened, her lips parting as if to argue. In the end, however, she lowered her head and muttered an apology, "I lost my composure. Please forgive me."After saying this, she retrieved a dagger from her robe and handed it to Chase. Her expression seemed sincere."My name is Emilia Larsen. This was left to me by my parents. Consider it my way of repaying you for saving my life. I hope you won't refuse it. This dagger is exceptionally sharp—it can slice through iron like it's mud. Keep it safe and don't lose it.""Oh?" Chase raised an eyebrow as he accepted the dagger, examining
