2024-10-29 19:42:56Gritting 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.

"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

Juan Baker flipped his right hand and a pitch-black spear appeared.Ethan's gaze had been fixed on Juan Baker and his son the entire time. The instant Juan moved, Ethan realized his intent."You despicable old codger! Don't you dare!" Ethan was so shocked he nearly jumped out of his skin. If Juan Baker had targeted Ethan himself, he wouldn't have batted an eyelid no matter how powerful his opponent was. After all, Ethan's mental resilience was beyond ordinary and with the ancient Azure Dragon's restorative abilities, conventional attacks posed no threat.But for Juan Baker to make a move against Lily was going too far! And it just so happened to be Ethan's Achilles heel!Juan Baker gave a cold smile.

"Ethan, do you really think you can bully the Baker family so easily?" Juan Baker's face was ashen, utterly humiliated in front of all the major families of Mistwood County. Having his future son-in-law killed and his guest official beheaded right in front of everyone, how could the Baker family continue to hold their standing in Mistwood County if they did not regain some face?Ethan's expression was impassive as his gaze swept over the core members of the Baker family present in the grand hall. Of them all, only four gave him slight pause.Including Juan Baker and his third son Ralph Baker, there were just five Bone Sacrifice practitioners. And now, only four remained after Ethan's handiwork. Such a force was inferior even compared to the Martin family of Hampshire County. Ethan had no patience for idle chatter. He immediately unleashed the Eight Mystical Metamorphoses, his original form and his clone charging at Juan Baker in unison.Speed was paramount. Ethan was currently only a

In the hall, all the "dignitaries" like Anna Patterson and Allan Long watched Ethan and Maxwell with odd expressions, clearly sensing their malicious intent. Yet no one had expected someone to actually crash the Baker family's joyous occasion.For rivals like Anna Patterson, nothing would be better than ruining the Baker family's big day, or even causing their total downfall. So for the moment, all was silent as they waited to see what would unfold.An eerie quiet. Joseph closed his eyes regretfully. He knew of the feelings between his daughter and Ethan, and rather approved of the boy. But his arrival was just too late, and the timing was wrong...After over seven years, Ethan's appearance had changed somewhat, but Charles still recognized him and kept signaling urgently for Ethan to leave quickly.Ethan ignored him completely, back ramrod straight, eyes empty of emotion as he scanned the Baker crowd.Beside him, Maxwell loomed tall and bulky, standing out in the crowd like a crane

"You...you..." Joseph was nearing eighty. Such provocation was too much for him and his face flushed crimson as he gasped for breath."Father!" Charles hurriedly supported Joseph, gently patting his back to help him calm down. "Grandfather!" Lily's hair was disheveled, tears instantly filling her eyes....The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was an auspicious date, at least for the millions of ordinary folk in Mistwood County.Everyone knew this was the joyous wedding day of the Baker family's third young master. Though he already had two wives and concubines, how eminent was the Baker family? The undisputed overlord of Mistwood County, even lording over nearby counties--their might was undisputed.The Baker family was worthy of being called the overlords of Mistwood County.

"Two celestial beings..." Lily's lovely face paled and she instinctively drew closer to the ice sculpture.The loud commotion also woke the just-risen Charles, Joseph and the rest. Soon--The main hall doors opened and the Joseph family streamed out, from Charles and Joseph down to the servants, staring curiously at the Baker entourage and the glittering array of treasures before them.Many had never seen such wealth in their lives! Just the gold ingots alone filled three huge chests. That was not even counting the obviously expensive jewelry and other gifts.Filling chests with gold ingots--how rich did one have to be?Likely enough...to buy half the streets in Stone Town!Joseph's brows twitched slightly. "Young Master Baker, what is the meaning of this?"It was normal to offer betrothal gifts, but gifts of such extravagance were no ordinary matter. Despite his advanced years, Joseph's eyesight remained sharp. He knew well the sheer quantity of gold, silver and jewels laid out befor

Lily gazed at the ice sculpture, lost in thought, barely registering her father's words.Charles stepped forward and sat down cross-legged beside his daughter. "Speaking of that Ethan boy, he really is pitiable. Losing his parents early, and his only grandfather murdered too. Seven years ago he finally avenged his grandfather by killing Caleb, but then got taken away by some mysterious youth. No word since--such a shame."He sighed regretfully. The image of that teenager chopping wood behind their hill seven or eight years ago was still vivid in his mind. Charles had liked Ethan quite a bit. At the time, many talented local youths had been vying for Lily's affection, yet he had favored Ethan, even hoping to match him with his daughter. But unexpectedly..."Father, enough." Lily turned her head slightly, revealing a face that could bring kingdoms to ruin. But looking closely, her beautiful eyes held a deep weariness.Seven years--how many such spans are granted in a mortal lifetime? Se

An hour later. The rain grew heavier, coming down in sheets. The dark sky heralded an early nightfall in this gloomy downpour. The Inn of No Worries had long since closed, and the main street was now sparsely populated, with only a few swaying lanterns barely clinging to their poles in the wind and rain.Under the torrential rain's dilution, the traces of the Fountain of Time's poison had completely faded away. As Ethan strode through the ankle-deep water on the street, it splashed out around his steps.A hundred or so yards across from the Inn of No Worries, a bulky figure stood under the eaves of a dilapidated house, hands hanging loosely at his sides. Drenched by the raging storm, he seemed unfazed, standing motionless as the rainwater streamed down his face through gaps in the broken roof tiles."Maxwell? Your hands...they're healed?" From afar, Ethan immediately recognized Maxwell and grinned, hurriedly splashing through the standing water toward him.Maxwell's lips trembled and

The assassin in purple robes stepped forward to flip over Ethan's "corpse", intending to seize Ethan's Azure Myst.But at that moment--Suddenly! Ethan's eyes shot open as the Azure Dragon shard materialized in his hand, stabbing into the assassin's left and right thighs in rapid succession!"Pfft!""Pfft!"Blood gushed wildly as holes appeared in both of the assassin's legs. His expression changed dramatically as he was jolted awake. Ethan pounced forward, gripping the assassin's thighs tightly, stabbing the Azure Dragon shard again and again into his legs! Ethan knew clearly that a Beyond Heaven core assassin of this caliber likely had some kind of spiritual armor for protection. A direct stab to the heart might not take him down in one blow. In an instant, the assassin's legs were pierced four or five times. The extreme sharpness of the Azure Dragon shard rendered his legs basically useless. The assassin's face was sinisterly dark. He did indeed have spiritual armor--a mid-gra

"I must make him come down," Ethan's icy gaze swept over the water pooling on the ground. The rainwater mixed with a drop of Fountain of Time. Although constantly being washed and diluted by the rain, it had not yet fully dispersed and was still extremely toxic!Because of the Fountain of Time, Ethan's movable space was very limited right now. While the purple-robe could float freely in the void, under such circumstances this battle was unwinnable!Ethan flung an initial stage spear towards the purple-robe in the void. He still had tens of thousands of such spears in reserve in his Azure Myst. For offensive means, as a peak Meridian Training expert Ethan could only do this much against Bone Sacrifice Realm and above enemies.Weakened over thousands of yards of space, the spear's power had greatly diminished. The purple-robe casually waved his hand, deflecting the spear aside. It could not harm him whatsoever.Ethan flipped his hand, taking out a night pot emanating a faint azure glow
