High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 697: Chapter 460: Sword Domain Achieved, No Explaining to a Country Bumpkin Demon God, Slaying the Demon God Avatar!

The wind and snow above Cold Snow Lake were frozen in the air, not daring to touch the slightest bit of the crimson figure. That figure stood with hands behind his back, exuding an aura of supreme dominance.

Outside Cold Snow Lake, a group of guards saw the figure in the sky, akin to a divine spirit, and they all respectfully knelt down on the ground.

"The Demon God, Lord Demon God has descended!"

"Welcome, Lord Demon God!"

At this moment, that figure seemed like the only existence in the world, and naturally, Cold Snow Lake with him became the center of the world. Thus, starting from this figure, the nearest city to Cold Snow Lake.

The Alien Race in the city saw the crimson light shooting up to the clouds, and like a strong wind blowing across a wheat field, they all knelt down. Many started chanting obsessively.

"Welcome, Lord Demon God!"

Within Cold Snow Lake, Yuri felt a sense of despair rising as she looked up at that majestic figure, and at this moment, she finally understood.

"Controlling Demon God..."

"The Thirty-First Pillar Demon God, Controlling Demon God... Among the Thirty-Three Pillar Demon Gods, only the Demon God Pillar he governs has the great power to temporarily transform any will into an avatar."

As if hearing Yuri’s whispers, the crimson figure in the sky looked down upon the earth.

"Hmm? You seem to know a lot, yet why do you ants not kneel before me?"

Why do you not kneel before me?

The majestic voice rang like a great bell over Cold Snow Lake, echoing between heaven and earth, as if the heavens were roaring in rage.

In an instant.

Yuri let out a muffled groan and immediately felt as if the sky had collapsed. An indescribable, invisible pressure, like Mount Tai, bore down upon her.

Crack.

Yuri’s body began to sink, and her bones started to emit a fine cracking sound under the unbearable burden.

She showed humiliation, unwilling to kneel, but was helpless.

Huh?

The crimson figure in the sky shifted his gaze from Yuri to another ant in his eyes, "Interesting, I underestimated you, little ant."

Chime!

By the lakeshore, suddenly a Divine Soldier unsheathed, and the domineering Sword Momentum abruptly cut through the heavy oppressive atmosphere, like a silver bottle breaking with a crisp and pleasant sound, yet radiating a killing intent.

Feeling this terrifying Sword Momentum, Yuri felt a surge of joy as if grasping at a lifeline, seeing a glimmer of hope to escape today.

"Lin Peng, help me, help me buy some time, I need time, just three minutes..."

Just three minutes!

Lin Peng did not respond.

Yuri was naturally aware of how unreasonable her request was. Before her was the Controlling Demon God, and the Demon God Pillar he wields has the great power to transform his will into avatars.

And due to the amplification of the Demon God Pillar, the power of this avatar before her would only be stronger than avatars crafted by other Demon Gods.

To ask Lin Peng, who had lost his flesh and had his Spiritual Power traumatized, to hold off a Demon God Avatar for three minutes was simply too much.

Under the Demon God, all are ants.

Without becoming a Demon God, even those above Titled are just slightly more powerful ants, easy to destroy as turning over one’s palm.

But at this moment, Yuri had no choice but to pin her last hope on Lin Peng, completely entrusting her life to him.

With determination, Yuri began to channel intense Spatial Energy around her, vigorously activating the mysterious Compass in her hand, which soon unfolded a star map.

Hearing Yuri’s words, a merciless scoff came from the sky.

"Three minutes? Ridiculous, it seems my absence for years has made the world forget what a Demon God is..."

The scoff was quickly interrupted by a calm voice.

"An avatar, three minutes will suffice..."

What does it mean, an avatar, three minutes will suffice?

Does Lin Peng mean...

To slay this Demon God Avatar right in front him?!

Upon hearing this, Yuri trembled all over, her face showing a complete change in expression, and the Compass in her hand dimmed for a moment under the impact.

From her understanding of Lin Peng during this time, this guy stands by his word!

Could it be...

But given Lin Peng’s current condition, is it really possible?

Yuri’s rationality told her it was unbelievable, but a part of her desperately wanted to trust Lin Peng.

The crimson figure in the sky, hearing the audacious words from the ants below, laughed in anger, "Interesting, it’s been many years since anyone dared to be so presumptuous before me."

In the next moment, a terrifying Force Field belonging to the Saint Realm instantly descended, and the space around Cold Snow Lake shattered inch by inch, resounding a wailing of space.

The crimson figure in the sky issued a palm, the center like a black hole, drawing in all the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, gathering it all into one palm, with the Rules of Heaven and Earth following suit.

Soon, a giant palm formed in the sky, vast and mighty, blocking out the sun.

"This Power of Incense doesn’t measure up to the Overlord Blade... Is it because the Alien Race population is too small?"

"And this palm’s mastery over the Power of Heaven and Earth Rules and Spiritual Qi is not as precise as the Overlord Blade, but it excels in the quality of Qi and Blood and the Power of Heaven and Earth, overpowering skill with brute force?"

Su Mu pondered, simply standing in place, waiting for this palm to descend.

Seeing this scene, the figure in the sky showed deep disappointment, as he had hoped for more surprise from the ants below, only to find a mere ant eager for boasting.

As the giant palm neared, with Lin Peng showing no sign of resistance, Yuri cried out in shock, "Lin Peng!"

Su Mu, however, seemed oblivious and slowly closed his eyes.

The terrifying giant palm, engulfing the rules of heaven and earth, Spiritual Qi, and the horrifying Saint Realm pressure within a hundred miles, descended like divine retribution, not yet fully fallen.

Boom!

The ground beneath Su Mu’s feet shattered, his feet suddenly buried deep, and the entire area of Cold Snow Lake abruptly sank several feet, shaking the earth and mountains.

Under one palm, all things fell silent!

But just then, the red figure high in the sky showed a hint of astonishment for the first time, his eyes slightly contracting as they focused below.

The dust settled.

A calm voice emerged from within.

"Thanks to you, if it weren’t for that strike, it would have taken me much longer to master this Sword Domain..."

"It’s only polite to return the favor... I’ve already tasted the flavor of Slaughter Martial Saint, but I have yet to savor what Slaughter Demon God feels like. Today, I’ll begin with you as an appetizer before the Slaughter Demon God!"

Amid the dust, a figure slowly emerged from the shattered earth, surrounded by a terrifying invisible barrier three inches away.

This barrier was woven from two strands of Peak Blade Momentum.

Even the strike of a Demon God Avatar couldn’t cross this thunderous barrier.

This time, Su Mu had killed many, but it was difficult to take the final step into the domain because those people couldn’t provide real pressure.

Now, with the pressure from the strike of the Demon God Avatar, Su Mu took the final step.

"Sword Domain!"

Su Mu clenched his right hand in the air, and a blood-red long saber appeared, as he slowly spoke two words.

Instantly, the invisible barrier three inches in front transformed into countless sword lights, intertwining like beams of light, forming surfaces, as the world before them changed, the wind and snow disappeared, and Cold Snow Lake was no more.

In its place was a world of swords.

The Sword Domain descended!

"What, what is this?"

"True Battle Intent?"

"No, no, this is not true Battle Intent... What is this power?"

The controlling Demon God Avatar, enveloped by the Sword Domain, was shocked, asking several questions in succession, sensing his internal power was heavily suppressed.

But Su Mu didn’t answer, only shaking his head.

"It’s hard to explain to a country Demon God like you..."

The Sword Domain was cultivated based on Su Mu’s two strands of Peak Blade Momentum.

Enemies within the Sword Domain, like the controlling Demon God Avatar, were not mistaken in their perception; all their internal powers were terrifyingly suppressed, especially their Martial Momentum.

Meanwhile, Su Mu, as the master of the Sword Domain, not only avoided suppression but also felt like the ruler of this piece of heaven and earth, and with just a thought, this world would become his blade.

Although his other internal powers hadn’t increased, his Sword Momentum was greatly amplified, almost evolving from Peak Blade Momentum to the embryonic form of Sword Intent.

The Sword Domain master received tremendous enhancement, while the enemies were fully weakened.

This simultaneous rise and fall.

The gap in power between the two sides would be instantly magnified to an unimaginable level.

There are two methods to break the Sword Domain.

If not by force, then only with stronger Martial Momentum could one break it, though Su Mu’s Sword Domain contained not just one Peak Blade Momentum, but two in total.

One originated from Su Mu himself, and the other from Bai Qingli, a genius among the giants a thousand years ago.

Even any single one of them could suppress the controlling Demon God before him, not to mention the Martial Momentum of the controlling Demon God Avatar in the Sword Domain was already terribly suppressed.

Therefore, Su Mu was not wrong in saying, and indeed it was a fact, that he truly had the right to call the controlling Demon God in front of him a country Demon God without exaggeration.

The controlling Demon God Avatar had relied on the great momentum of heaven and earth just now.

But at this moment, as Su Mu’s long saber fell, his sword was not relying on the great momentum of heaven and earth, but was the great momentum itself.

Heaven and earth as the sword!

Under such Sword Momentum, any great momentum, any Demon God Avatar, was illusory.

Su Mu was enlightened, and at this moment, the spiritual light in his mind became clearer, knowing he was not far from breaking through to Sword Intent.

Perhaps it was just a matter of slaughtering one more Demon God Pillar...

"No, this can’t be?!"

The Sword Momentum sliced through, reducing everything to ashes, dust to dust.

"A Demon God Avatar is nothing more than this."

Su Mu sheathed his saber, and with a thought, the Sword Domain ceased.

At that moment, the anxiously waiting Yuri outside, for whom every second felt like a year, could finally see everything within the Sword Domain, and the first thing she saw was a back.

Lin Peng stood with his back toward her, his body frail, yet at this moment, his frail figure, contrasted against the two severed bodies dissolving into green smoke, appeared incomparably grand and towering.

Then, from within the endless smoke of incense, a silver radiance suddenly shot out.

"Think you can escape? Wishful thinking."

"Desolate Thought!"

Su Mu softly uttered, and a silver shadow suddenly appeared behind him, as the specter-like figure lunged towards the fleeing silver radiance, Desolate Thought outracing it and opening its blood-red maw.

"You, you dare?!"

"For a mere Demon God, why would I not dare?"

Under Yuri’s shocked gaze, Su Mu unemotionally urged Desolate Thought to devour it in one gulp.

Everything returned to ashes, dust to dust.
