Gritting his teeth, Ethan tied some grass ropes to the soles of his shoes for traction and gently leaped onto the Ruoshui Bridge.
"Creak"
The bridge swayed slightly as a few youths ahead turned to glance at Ethan before continuing to stagger forward.
The bridge, slanting across the Ruoshui River, seemed never-ending. Traveling at their current pace would take at least a fortnight, with food and water supplies required en route. Falling into the river meant certain death, as if walking the path to the underworld.

Jasmine's strength appeared immense as she effortlessly hauled Ethan and his companion up. This only fueled Ethan's curiosity about her identity. Watching her hoist them onto the metal platform, her delicate frame remained steady, a stark contrast to her timid demeanor."Thank you, Miss Jasmine," Ethan said with a smile, walking side by side with her while a young boy with a tigerish appearance trailed closely behind.They traversed the narrow Ruoshui Bridge together, and those ahead hastily made way, as if intimidated by some unseen force."No...it's nothing," Jasmine murmured, her head down. She b

"Maxwell? He knows Maxwell?" 10010, following behind Ethan, looked at him with a mix of surprise and excitement, speeding up to keep pace.In a matter of moments, Ethan covered a distance of 200 yards. To the cautious youngsters crossing Ruoshui River, his speed was nothing short of astonishing. He was practically jogging on level ground.As they moved forward, Ethan noticed the crowd growing larger and denser. Eventually, the bridge was so packed with people that there was hardly any room to stand. Countless heads filled his view, creating a sea of black.The clamor of cursing, swearing, and indign
Sovereign of Chaos Chapter 46: Powerful and Beautiful Jasmine
Anthony's right hand grasped three stones, flicking his wrist with a flourish. Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! The stones flew in a triangular formation towards Maxwell and Ethan, deliberately avoiding Jasmine.When a master makes a move, their skill is evident. Anthony was no ordinary youth like Big Ears; the sharp sound of the stones piercing the air could be heard even from a distance. If one were to look closely, they would notice a faint glow surrounding Anthony. This glow was indicative of a Strong Blood Realm, at least at the ninth level."Hmph!" Ethan's eyes turned cold as he unsheathed his wooden sword, deflecting the three stones with two swift strikes. Although his movement was restricted on the narrow bridge, with one wrong step leading to a deadly fall into the Ruoshui River, Ethan managed to repel the fast-flying stones. However, the wooden sword now bore three irregular notches – a sign of its inherent weakness.At the same time, Big Ears and the other youths began hurling more

"Splash~"Anthony's group hurried away, vanishing from sight in an instant. The crowd on the opposite bank of the Ruoshui River erupted into commotion."They're gone!""Truly worthy of the Eastern King! Even Anthony has to give her a wide berth!" A young man gazed at Jasmine's slender figure, his eyes filled with awe.Many youths on the bridge had not known Jasmine before, but her display of power left an indelible impression. They now recognized her as the gentle and unassuming girl
Sovereign of Chaos Chapter 48: Sworn Brotherhood
The night was calm, with neither rain nor wind. The silvery moon hung high in the sky, its light streaming through the towering ancient trees and illuminating the broken ruins of an old temple, where countless shadows intermingled.The ancient temple was in ruins, with only one collapsed hall remaining. Rubble and broken tiles littered the ground, and even the earthen walls were overgrown with several feet of wild grass. Clearly, this had been a desolate temple for quite some time.In front of the hall, on a relatively clean patch of ground, Ethan and Maxwell sat facing each other. A bonfire blazed between them, with Ethan intently roasting a chicken over the makeshift wooden frame.
Sovereign of Chaos Chapter 49: King Kong
Days passed in the blink of an eye, and half a year had elapsed since their entrance to the Stele of Awakening.According to the red-robed elder, they needed to collect 500 wooden tokens within five years and bring them to Twilight Mountain. Time had already consumed a tenth of their deadline, and they hadn't obtained a single token! A creeping sense of urgency began to spread. In the past six months, they'd grown accustomed to witnessing brutal fights over the wooden tokens, and Ethan and Maxwell both felt the pressure.Twilight Mountain appeared not too distant, a looming, hazy peak that pierced the clouds, easily recognizable. However, as the saying goes, "a watched mountain never boils"; numerous mountains separated them, with countless peaks and valleys making the journey far more challenging than Ethan had initially believed.Spring blossomed in March, with new buds sprouting from the towering trees. On this fine day, a gentle breeze rustled through the forest, and the purple su
Sovereign of Chaos Chapter 50: King Kong and the Shadow Varanus
The King Kong suddenly crouched down and, after ensuring that the coast was clear, carefully uncovered a pile of rotting leaves. It dug out a large, milky-white egg about the size of a human head."By heavens, it really is a thief!" Maxwell whispered as he and Ethan hid behind a mound of dirt, their eyes glued to the scene.The King Kong cradled the egg in its hands and took a deep sniff, even licking it with its purple-red tongue as if savoring a fine wine."That King Kong is such a creep!" Maxwell grumbled. "Should we steal the egg?""No nonsense! I bet it's not easy for King Kong to eat that egg," Ethan whispered back, watching intently.The King Kong seemed to ponder for a moment before digging out two more identical eggs from the pile. Satisfied, it grabbed one in each hand and clamped the third between its arms, preparing to leave."This thing's going to eat all of them! That King Kong is so dishonest!" Maxwell's eyes were red with anger.Ethan raised an eyebrow, considering whe
Sovereign of Chaos Chapter 51: Inevitable Battle
The violent wind wailed, and the bushes and branches where Ethan and Maxwell were hiding snapped all at once. Ethan looked up to see a colossal Shadow Varanus tail, akin to a mountain.Gulping nervously, Ethan's face changed color. How much force did this enraged Shadow Varanus have in a single swipe? At least tens of thousands of pounds, enough to break trees and shake mountains. If struck by this, there would be no doubt they would be crushed to pieces."Maxwell! Get down!" Ethan urgently pulled Maxwell down, both of them lying flat without dignity. They had barely touched the ground when they heard the roaring wind and snapping branches behind them. By the time they stood up again, the bushes and trees in front of them had been completely broken, as if a giant pair of scissors had sliced through them, leaving a mirror-like smooth surface at Ethan's waist level."Let's go!" Ethan's hair stood on end, as the Shadow Varanus's strength had completely taken him by surprise. He had thoug
