High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 621: Chapter 425: Heartbeats, Volcano Awakening, the Impending Cataclysm!

"I’ll send you a map later. Follow it, and you’ll likely find some. They are remnants left by my Saint Race warriors during the last opening of the Ancient Battlefield. For certain reasons, those warriors couldn’t take the Blood Soldiers back, so they were buried in the Ancient Battlefield."

"If you find them, please cremate the bodies of the fallen warriors for me."

"Alright."

"I hope to hear your voice again; otherwise, I’ll be at a great loss. I, Yuri, never do losing business, Lin Peng, this is the first deal of my life."

"I’ll try my best. After all, I’ve never done this before," Su Mu laughed.

"You really are a madman. I knew it the first time I saw you."

"Then you know me quite well."

The two quickly concluded the transaction. Not long after, the Token was enveloped with Spatial Energy, and a map fell into Su Mu’s hand.

Su Mu opened the map quickly and, after a glance, could not help but reveal a strange expression. He then once again used Spiritual Power to sweep over the terrain of a few hundred miles meticulously.

Soon...

He discovered that the topography on the map matched the place he was at, and more coincidentally, the marked site of the Blood Soldiers was precisely where Su Mu had just chosen his Cultivation Room.

"This deal doesn’t seem to profit?"

Su Mu shook his head. However, he had no desire to go back on his word. Since he had made the agreement, Su Mu would adhere to it, but all of this presupposed that he could survive.

In the next second,

Su Mu’s figure flickered in place, transforming into a Golden Light, shooting into the sky. Soon, Su Mu arrived in front of a dead volcano towering thousands of feet high, with a natural cave located at the volcano’s foot.

Sensing someone’s arrival, an angry roar burst from within the cave.

Su Mu’s figure flickered and directly shot into the cave.

In the next second,

a gigantic red sphere, over fifty meters in size, was tossed out of the cave. As it rolled, the Ancient Battlefield’s solid rocks cracked, and the earth trembled fiercely.

It was a red pangolin; at this moment, it no longer had the ferocity and vigor it demonstrated in the cave. Its now-clear eyes flickered with horror and fear.

Just one encounter, and the tiny human had casually thrown it out. If the other party wanted to kill it, it would probably be dead already.

"I’m still short of a gatekeeper. Your strength is passable. Now I give you two choices, death or submission."

The red pangolin sensed the Spiritual Transmission and immediately crouched on all fours, its head pressed tightly against the ground, not daring to breathe.

Soon, Su Mu walked out from the cave. Behind him was a silhouette with an undefined form of a silver figure. As Su Mu approached, he placed a hand on the Exotic Beast’s head.

Blade Qi and Desolate Thought were simultaneously infused. After completing this, Su Mu turned around.

"From now on, this cave belongs to me. For the time being, guard this cave for me. If anything dares approach, you can attack. Slay the Fierce Beasts, but you cannot kill humans."

"I will release you before I leave."

"Did you understand?"

Thud, thud, thud.

The pangolin nodded its large head like pounding garlic, creating a big hole in the hard ground.

A moment later, Su Mu found the remaining Blood Soldiers in the cave, but the Alien Race corpses Yuri mentioned were not present, only a hill made of skulls.

Su Mu could discern some differences in these skulls, as the Alien Race’s bones had faint reddish patterns, hard to distinguish if not scrutinized.

Human and Alien Race skulls are extremely similar.

And among them, the powerful individuals’ skulls were even more conspicuous. But being dead meant they were merely a pile of bones, no matter how strong they were when alive.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, rest in peace together."

Su Mu activated the Rule of Fire, flames rising from his hands, turning the pile of bones into ashes, and only after completing this did Su Mu collect the Blood Soldiers.

"Nine Blood Soldiers in all; it seems the Alien Race that died here was quite extraordinary."

Su Mu immediately divided his Mind into Three Thoughts, fully immersing himself in cultivation. The divided thoughts immediately began to devour the Blood Soldiers and continued to overlay Inscriptions, simultaneously, endless black mist was absorbed by Su Mu’s true self, becoming nourishment for the Immortal Cells.

The new twelve Immortal Cells corresponded with the initial twelve, like breathing, a relaxation and contraction, endlessly repeating.

Su Mu was very clear at this moment, it was too late to cultivate another batch of Immortal Cells in the remaining ten days.

To increase his combat power as much as possible in a short time, Su Mu turned his mind to the process of Reverse Slashing.

Usually, to nurture Immortal Cells, the Five Viscera and Six Viscera, every inch of flesh, and even every drop of Essence Blood had to be offered to the Immortal Cells, allowing them to devour and extract. Because of this, Su Mu’s Fixed Star Body Refining Technique had stopped cultivating.

But now, Su Mu began to control the Immortal Cells to nourish his own flesh and blood.

The brilliance of twenty-four Immortal Cells bloomed, and twenty-four Immortal Powers burst forth, continuously washing over the Five Viscera and Six Viscera, every inch of flesh, meridians, and every drop of blood.

In the midst of this process, the halted Fixed Star Body Refining Technique regained vitality, then erupted like a beast unleashed from its cage, surging madly.

Soon after, the General Stars for the great contest arrived one after another at the Ancient Battlefield, and the grand hunt began officially.

Meanwhile, in the volcano, a figure was quietly growing stronger.

The sound of rampant Qi and Blood clashing gradually resonated with the entire thousand-foot volcano, and soon the first sound of complete resonance echoed from within.

Thud!

Then another.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

The sound grew increasingly grand and mighty.

It was as though an unparalleled heart was beating inside the volcano, as if the thousand-foot volcano, dormant for hundreds or thousands of years, was slowly awakening.

It roared out, awaiting an opportunity...

An opportunity to break free from the Ancient Battlefield’s seal, shatter the restraint of the ten-thousand-meter undersea, and then sweep across the world!
