High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 694: Chapter 459: The Curse of the Domain of Chaos, Demon God Avatar Descends!

Guye Kingdom, the southernmost country of the Alien Race, borders the Chaotic Southern Domain across the sea to the south of the kingdom’s province.

The tides rise and fall, and the salty sea breeze persistently howls along the coast.

An unremarkable carriage travels along the coastline, merging onto the main road as the traffic of people and horses increases. Passing by a small fishing village, smoke from cooking fires can be seen and the sounds of conversations drift in on the wind.

A young fisherman, picking wild fruits, rubs his eyes and points to the outline of an island on the horizon, "Strange, did I see it wrong? Is that the Exile Land? Can we see over there from this hill?"

The young fisherman is an orphan, who drifted to the small village over ten years ago and was adopted by an old villager.

The old fisherman, resting under the shade with a calm expression, says, "Don’t make a fuss, many years ago you could see some vague outlines. Everyone in the village has seen it before, I saw it a few times myself as a child. When the weather is good, the sun can dispel some of the fog over there, making it visible."

"Really, you’re not lying to me, are you?" The young fisherman is somewhat skeptical.

The old fisherman stands up and looks into the distance, "What would I gain by lying to you about a few extra Spirit Stones? But the fog over there has indeed thickened over the years, so it’s not surprising that you haven’t seen it before. The chances to see it in recent years have become less frequent, but..."

"This time, compared to the few times I remember seeing it, the outline seems a bit clearer."

The old fisherman speaks with a trace of doubt, but the two soon lose interest, as the place across the sea has nothing to do with them; it is a land of exiled criminals.

The slender figure driving the cart looks toward the island’s outline beneath the fog, "Is that the Domain of Chaos?"

"You know quite a bit, and even know about the Domain of Chaos?"

An enchanting voice from inside the carriage carries a hint of surprise. Yuri emerges from the carriage, naturally taking over the reins, "Hand it over."

Su Mu shifts aside a bit to give up the driver’s seat, "Have you been there?"

"I’ve been once. Why, are you that interested? Want me to take you there?" Yuri jokes after they’ve been traveling together for a while.

She finds that Lin Peng is very ruthless as an enemy but is a very easy friend to communicate with. Over a month, they’ve grown quite close.

"Well, it is indeed a land of exile, but not all the exiles are criminals, maybe criminals make up only a small fraction..."

"That place is not suitable for long stays. The chaotic, mottled, and disordered Rules of Heaven and Earth also cause the Spiritual Qi that drifts between heaven and earth to become turbid. The tribespeople born there, even if they naturally have good Martial Arts talent, find it extremely difficult to advance to Sixth Level Warrior in their lifetime."

Tribespeople? Instead of calling them criminals or descendants of criminals.

Su Mu is subtly moved; this unconscious term reveals a lot of issues. Yuri is indeed very special as an Alien Race, quite different from others.

"It is also rumored that the land was cursed a long time ago, but few know this now. Those born there who manage to ascend to the Sixth Level Warrior realm, if placed in the kingdom, could easily be cultivated to become an Intermediate War God with basic training."

Hearing this, Su Mu squints slightly, "Is it that perilous?"

"In short, anyone with a normal mind wouldn’t want to stay there long. Wanna try?"

"Why not."

Su Mu moves his heart slightly, smiling as he speaks.

"You really are a madman."

"Thank you."

Yuri rolls her eyes and changes the subject, "Although we’ve been constantly moving and killing people in different areas, quite a few people have died in the end. This time, the target’s position is quite special. The location in the Celestial Illusion Province is not far from the Altar Volcano, one of the three Holy Land of the Guye Kingdom."

"So this time we must be clean and decisive."

Yuri, once she realized Su Mu was honing his Martial Momentum, quickly discovered that Su Mu’s recent killings seemed to be a kind of Martial Arts practice rather than direct assassination.

"Altar Volcano?"

"That’s the domain of the thirty-first pillar responsible for Controlling Demon God, and in this area of the Hundred Thousand Volcanoes, there’s an Ancient Altar. Within the Ancient Altar is a Blood Pool named Myriad Beasts.

The Myriad Beasts Blood Pool opens every twenty years to the descendants of the Guye Royal Family and a few large forces affiliated with the royal family. The Blood Pool can enhance the purity of their blood. It’s said that warriors bathed in the Blood Pool can almost always break through a minor realm within a month, and some even a Great Realm."

Su Mu finds interest piqued, "Is it that miraculous?"

"Don’t think about it. Although the Myriad Beasts Blood Pool is miraculous, it’s open to Basic War Gods, or the Seventh Level Grandmasters of your people."

"If the Blood Pool is to be effective for warriors above the seventh level, it must be activated by igniting the Ancient Inscription on the altar, which greatly exhausts the Ancient Altar and Blood Pool’s lifespan.

That Ancient Altar is probably a creation of the Relic Giant, and now no one can master such ancient inscriptions, let alone repair the Ancient Altar."

"So unless that Controlling Demon God goes mad, or someone can take its place, the Blood Pool is of no use to us."

"Oh."

Su Mu simply responds, realizing that the King Beast Blood Pool is probably equivalent to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool offered by the Southern War Zone. If it only benefits Grandmasters, it won’t mean much to him.

"According to investigations, Count Soris leaves the city once a month to go fishing at Cold Snow Lake."

"Fishing?"

"Count Soris is a gourmet. There is a kind of Snow Fish in Cold Snow Lake; these fish only live in the lake outside the Celestial Illusion Province. Once out of the lake, they find it hard to survive more than half a day. The flesh of the Snow Fish is tender and delicious, melting in the mouth like snow, providing a soothing and pleasant feeling like a spring breeze."
