High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 696: Chapter 459: The Curse of the Domain of Chaos, Demon God Avatar Descends!

Finally, Su Mu casually plucked some snowflakes from the wind and snow and put them into the pot, bringing the water to a boil before pouring it into the dipping sauce bowl and stirring it well.

"Try it."

Yuri had been waiting for Su Mu to say that, and immediately used her chopsticks to dip a bit and put it in her mouth, her eyes lighting up with twinkling stars, "Delicious, Lin Peng, how did you do it?"

Seeing this, Su Mu’s lips curled slightly. If it weren’t for the limited conditions, the dipping sauce he made could even make slippers taste good!

"It’s just practice."

Back then, it was his cooking skills that won over Miaomiao, ahem, touched her.

"How do you plan to handle this fish?" After tasting the dipping sauce, Yuri was full of anticipation, unable to contain her eagerness.

"Hot pot."

"Hot pot?"

Su Mu quickly processed a large Snow Fish. He threw the fish head and bones directly into the pot to stew with snow water, then sliced the fish meat, paying attention to cutting different parts of the fish into different thicknesses.

"Will it be good if it’s so thin?"

Su Mu did not reply, his chef’s knife falling continuously, creating afterimages in its swift movement.

Seeing this, Yuri couldn’t help but have an odd thought; could Lin Peng be using the knife purely for the sake of gourmet food?

Very soon, the fish was fully prepared. After Su Mu casually plated it, Yuri couldn’t stop herself from swallowing her saliva, urging him on impatiently.

"Lin Peng, hurry up and start!"

Su Mu picked up a slice of fish and swirled it in the broth made from the fish head and bones for a few seconds before putting it into the bowl.

"Is it done like that?"

"Try it and you’ll see."

Yuri did as he said, even using her Spiritual Power to protect the fish, cautiously mimicking Su Mu’s previous action. After swirling the fish for a few seconds until it curled slightly, she dipped it into the sauce and then put it into her mouth.

Hmm?!

Yuri couldn’t help but let out a pleasurable hum.

The dipping sauce, both spicy and sweet, awakened the taste buds, while the indescribable freshness blossomed in the mouth. With each bite, Yuri’s eyes sparkled with delight!

"Unbelievable, it’s so delicious!"

Bite after bite, Yuri’s chopsticks couldn’t stop; she devoured the fish like a storm, finishing four-fifths of it all by herself.

On the third day, a convoy arrived late.

After a guard from the convoy displayed a token, the Cold Snow Lake guards let them pass.

By the lakeside of Cold Snow Lake.

From the center carriage of the convoy, two grand Spiritual Powers radiated out, covering Cold Snow Lake in mere seconds.

After confirming no anomalies, a fat man clad in gorgeous robes stepped down from the carriage, followed by two elders in martial robes, one tall and one short, descending as well.

The elders flanked the fat man on both sides protectively.

A gentle snow was falling from the sky, landing on a guard’s neck.

In the next instant.

Blood splattered everywhere!

Two beams of brilliance burst forth from the elders’ eyes, and they immediately stepped forward to protect the fat man, only to suddenly feel their bodies stiffen.

"Th-this is impossible..."

Two heads flew off, with eyes bulging wide in shock, even in death still harboring questions, utterly oblivious to how they were killed.

Besides the sweeping wind and snow in this domain, their Spiritual Power senses perceived no enemy.

Not far away, witnessing this, Yuri felt a chill run through her body.

And who was involved was unclear, but as an observer separate from events, she could disconcertingly see the snowflakes that claimed lives were actually terrifying Sword Momentum, but she also felt baffled.

Why were these people completely unaware of these sword intents?

Why did they step right in with their eyes wide open?

"These past days, Lin Peng hasn’t drawn his sword to kill... but why has this guy’s Sword Momentum become even more terrifying?"

Yuri was puzzled, and just as everything seemed to be over, a crisp cracking sound suddenly resonated in the air.

A Purple Jade Bracelet shattered.

Out of the blue, a terrifying Spiritual Power explosion occurred, causing the lakeside to fracture inch by inch under the strain.

"This is not good... This, this is a Demon God’s Will? The information is wrong; how could there be a Demon God’s Will on Soliss?"

Feeling the terrifying Spiritual Power, Yuri’s expression changed dramatically, and a mysterious Star Compass appeared in her hand instantly.

"Lin Peng, quickly get to my side, I’ll take you away!"

Yuri anxiously transmitted to Su Mu, but what she got back was not a response from Su Mu.

"Leave? None of you will leave here today."

The sky quickly darkened, the clear day abruptly turning into night.

All the wind and snow suspended, the light above Cold Snow Lake twisted dramatically, and a dignified crimson figure rapidly formed in the void, followed by a cold voice echoing throughout heaven and earth.

Yuri’s face turned deathly pale, and despair began to consume her heart as she sensed that with the manifestation of this body, the entire space around Cold Snow Lake was locked.

She couldn’t activate the Star Compass she held, she needed time, but would the presence before her give her any?

Yuri stared fixedly at the lifelike body in the void. Commonly, a Demon God’s Will could not form a real body, only projecting a semi-transparent illusory form.

Generally, a will projection possesses less than one percent of the Demon God’s true power, and if she were facing a will projection, she felt confident in escaping with Lin Peng.

But clearly, what lay before them was not a will projection, but a genuine Demon God Avatar!

A Demon God Avatar far surpasses a will projection, possessing at least ten percent or even more of a Demon God’s Power.

The Thirty-Three Pillar Demon Gods generally have mastery over avatar Martial Arts, but creating an avatar requires not only an enormous amount of time but also the expenditure of terrifying resources.

Hence, even Demon Gods do not produce many avatars; ordinarily, they would only create one.

Historical records mention a Pillar Demon God whose true body perished within Ancient Ruins, but with a sliver of remaining soul escaping, this soul eventually regained new life through an avatar, restoring its power to its peak.

An avatar serves not only as a means of enhancing a Demon God’s combat capability but also as a crucial life-preserving technique, often controlled by the Demon God’s true form, rarely entrusted to direct bloodline kin.

Count Soliss is not a direct kin of any Pillar Demon God, and it is impossible, given his status, for him to obtain a Demon God Avatar, so why is this happening before us?!

This defies all common sense!

Everything happening exceeded Yuri’s expectations and control...

Moreover, the Altar Volcano is not far from here, and if they cannot escape soon and the controlling Demon God’s true form is fully alerted.

It will be a situation of certain death.

Yet now, Lin Peng has lost his flesh, and his Spiritual Power seems compromised, Yuri could not see any hope of escaping from this Demon God Avatar.
