High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 686: Chapter 455: Visitors from Beyond, Divine Tree, and the 33 Demon Gods! (Part 2)

"And three days later, that weird sound disappeared, but at the center of that big pit, a terrifying aura lingered."

"A residual of terrifying aura?"

"That’s right." Yuri took a deep breath and spoke, "That should be the aura of a Demon God Pillar, which means a demon god has visited the pit..."

"Your flesh is very likely to have fallen into the hands of that demon god."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu’s expression finally changed, and his eyes narrowed slightly with a hint of ferocity.

His flesh falling into the hands of an alien race’s demon god was indeed very bad news, and for a moment, Su Mu thought a lot.

For a time, the murderous aura exuded from Su Mu made Yuri feel as if she were in an ice cellar, and her expression changed, realizing she had underestimated Su Mu’s strength.

Hoo!

Soon, Su Mu took a deep breath; his concern was understandable, as his flesh falling into the hands of a demon god was undoubtedly very dangerous.

But since he could still sense the existence of his flesh through his Martial God State, it meant the flesh still existed, the demon god hadn’t destroyed his flesh yet, perhaps wanting to study it or having other plans.

However...

Su Mu disliked being in a situation where his fate was handed over to others; he detested it.

He must quickly reclaim his flesh!

"Can you determine which demon god it is?"

After Su Mu restrained his killing intent, Yuri was gasping for air and shook her head, "I can’t, I’ve already sent someone to investigate."

"The Guye Kingdom has three demon gods: the Eleventh Pillar Demon God, Wind Demon God Revi."

"The Twenty-fifth Pillar Demon God, Beast Demon Hammond."

"The Thirty-first Pillar Demon God, Controlling Demon Koch."

Beast Demon?

Su Mu was slightly startled, recalling someone from the Human World.

And when he heard about the Thirty-first Pillar Demon God, Su Mu’s eyelid suddenly twitched, realizing something, "How many demon gods are there in your interface?"

"Thirty-three pillars."

Thirty-three pillars?!

The alien race, with only one-seventh the area of the Human World and one-fifteenth the population, actually gave birth to a whole thirty-three Demon Gods?!

Moreover, the number is too coincidental!

Su Mu’s pupils contracted; he remembered that Marshal Yue had once mentioned that the Human World’s Martial Saint Tower also had this exact number.

No more, no less, thirty-three Pillar Demon Gods, thirty-three Martial Saints!

Everything was too coincidental!

If it were just a coincidence, Su Mu would never believe in such a thing; there must be a connection between the two.

"Giant Towers... they are those two sky-reaching Giant Towers!"

Su Mu murmured in a voice only he could hear, and a scene of the Golden Giant Realm appeared before his eyes, under the empty Giant Throne, on either side of the Ninth Level Ladder were two sky-reaching Giant Towers!

Initially, Su Mu speculated that the Martial Saint Tower was a fragment of one of the collapsed Giant Towers, while the remaining one might be the Junlin Pavilion located in the Ye Clan Territory.

Now it seems he guessed wrong; the shattered Giant Tower fragment might have not only transformed into the Martial Saint Tower.

But also into the Thirty-Three Pillar Demon Gods.

At this moment, Su Mu deduced that one of the Giant Towers transformed into the Martial Saint Tower of the Human World, while the other became the Demon God Pillar of the Alien Race Realm.

But where did the Junlin Pavilion come from?

The exterminated Giant Race, the remaining Human Race, the Alien Race...

Yes, the alien race especially values Qi and Blood Power; on the Alien Race Interface, it’s in some ways equivalent to bloodline, and in terms of flesh, aliens are innately stronger than humans...

Are there connections between the Nine Royal Families of the Giant Race and the Eight Great Royal Families of the Alien Race?

If the aliens are indeed the descendants of the Giants, then why are there Eight Great Royal Families and not Nine?

Where did the missing lineage go?

And where are the Golden Throne and the Golden Staircase, besides those two Giant Towers?

In an instant, Su Mu’s thoughts stretched infinitely, he vaguely captured something, but could not connect everything, his thoughts were quickly interrupted when Yuri waved her hand in front of him.

"Lin Peng, Lin Peng?"

Yuri merely thought Lin Peng was in a daze upon hearing that his flesh fell into the hands of a demon god.

"I’m fine, Yuri; which demon god do you think most likely has my flesh?"

"Normally, it should be the Twenty-fifth Pillar Demon God, the Guye Kingdom has thirty-one provinces, and the ten provinces bordering my Guye Kingdom are the domain of the Beast Demon."

Beast Demon?

Previously, he had killed a woman called the Beast Demon in the Human World, it seems Su Mu has a connection with these fellows.

"Does Hammond have anything special about him? Is it perhaps that his flesh is quite powerful?" Su Mu asked calmly upon hearing this.

Directly calling the Beast Demon Hammond by name shocked Yuri, but upon directly stating Hammond’s strength, a strange light flickered in her eyes.

Calling a Demon God by name in the Alien Race World is a great disrespect, with bloody precedents of entire tribes being wiped out. Aliens of such elevated Martial Arts Realm have some powers, and by calling their names out loud, the Demon God might perceive it.

"It seems you know quite a bit about our Saint Race’s demon gods. Yes, you’re right; the flesh of the Beast Demon is strong, ranking among the top three solely based on flesh."

"Only top three?"

His flesh is indeed strong!

Su Mu became intrigued, a label like Beast Demon represents extremely powerful flesh but being only in the top three suggests two possible scenarios.

One, the Beast Demon is merely a title.

Two, which is more interesting, is that the top three Pillars among the Thirty-Three Pillar Demon Gods are formidable, very comprehensive in strength, and their flesh is robust and complete.

Su Mu leaned more towards the latter.

"This is just in an ordinary state; each Demon God Pillar contains different incredible powers, and the magic in the Beast Demon’s pillar is the power of the flesh, if the Beast Demon fully activates the Demon God Pillar’s state, his flesh would probably be the strongest among all demon gods."

"The strongest flesh... I see, that makes sense."

Su Mu’s eyes were filled with anticipation and battle intent; his flesh had already transformed into the Fixed Star Immortal Body, so a demon god with strong flesh obtaining a powerful body wouldn’t think of destroying it, but rather study it.

At the very least, if Su Mu obtained a body he considered strong, especially one capable of self-repair, he would undoubtedly cherish it for a good study.

Seeing Lin Peng beside him with a calm face, Yuri couldn’t help but roll her eyes, as if it wasn’t Lin Peng’s flesh that fell into the hands of a demon god, but someone else’s.

"Lin Peng, I’m really starting to admire you more and more; aren’t you afraid the Beast Demon will destroy your flesh, or refine it into a War Puppet?"

Cough, cough, Su Mu was slightly embarrassed, coughing lightly.

"I have a plan now, I’ll get straight to the point; your luck isn’t too bad. Currently, the Eight Great Royal Families of our Saint Race are divided into three alliances and are fighting. As of now, Ray, Roy, and Guye temporarily count as one alliance..."

"In a month, there will be a high-level alliance meeting held in Rumi Province adjacent to Guye Royal City, during which not all Three Kingdoms’ demon gods will be present but at least a few will, perhaps providing an opportunity to recover your flesh."

"It’s just that it’s unclear whether the Beast Demon will attend or if he’ll bring your flesh with him."

"There are too many uncertainties..."

"And since this meeting takes place within the Guye Kingdom, you know the consequences if anything goes wrong, right?"
