High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late
Chapter 465 - 350: Martial Artist Touching the Firmament, Unlocks New Superpower, on the Edge of Choice!
The invincible realm of the High Martial World, this mirrors the eight words from the world before crossing.
Entrusted by heaven, may life grow eternal!
No man in the previous life could resist this temptation.
Hoo------
Taking a deep breath, Su Mu quickly calmed his thoughts.
"In this life, I chose to take the initiative!"
In this life, after failing to break through the Sword Intent on his second attempt, he managed to condense a hundred Immortal Cells, controlled five Martial Arts Gates, and then proactively stepped into the Sword Abyss. Although heavily injured, he ultimately returned alive.
This allowed Su Mu to see the opportunity to defy destiny.
"Being able to leave the Sword Abyss alive is a huge breakthrough, a good start."
"My improvements over this time have been useful, and in the future, the trajectory of destiny is being reversed!"
Everything is difficult at the start, the breakthrough from nothing to something, from 0 to 1, is often the most challenging, much more difficult than from 1 to 100.
However, at the same time, Su Mu couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
In this life, he broke through the Sword Momentum again after a year, five years earlier than the previous life, but even so, he ultimately failed to master the Sword Intent before the catastrophe descended.
Su Mu’s gaze lingered on the description of his second failure to break through the Sword Intent in the Book of Destiny.
"The imperfection of this world?"
...
Su Mu didn’t dwell too much on this issue, at this moment he felt as though he was surrounded by a fog, his eyes obscured, thinking too much was pointless.
Buzz------
At this time, Su Mu’s body trembled slightly, and the ever-changing Book of Destiny suddenly closed, then slowly dissipated.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Mu was slightly dazed, feeling very conflicted, in one moment feeling that a month had passed quickly, while in the next second feeling as though several years, decades, or even centuries had transpired in that time.
Also, he felt a hint of regret, for this was the first time an ability disappeared before he had used all its chances.
Yet in an instant, this thought vanished.
This ability had greatly aided him, allowing him to see the road ahead and understand the existence of the catastrophe.
And, destiny is inherently elusive, ever-changing.
If one could completely control it, then it would no longer be destiny.
There was a slight disappointment in Su Mu’s heart, as he found immense joy in his struggle against destiny during this month, and afterwards there would be no such pleasure.
"Just recently, several members of an alien race sent a batch of Spirit Stones. Before entering the last Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool, I should draw a new superpower."
As the saying goes, one should focus on what lies ahead when circumstances change.
Su Mu didn’t dwell on what he had lost, his belief was to seize the present and look to the future.
"Then let’s begin."
He once struggled to amass the ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones needed to draw the least powerful superpower, but now Spirit Stones seemed just a number to Su Mu, especially with the recent generosity of the alien race, just a flick of the wrist.
Billions of Spirit Stones piled up like a mountain, their spiritual aura floating like clouds and mist, presenting such a scene that even Su Mu was momentarily taken aback.
Suddenly, he understood the aesthetic taste of those who get rich overnight, the glittering and dazzling luxury was indeed resplendent.
A thought occurred.
The billion Spirit Stones simultaneously radiated their brilliance, forming a comprehensive large roulette under the inhuman influx of a billion Spirit Stones. The edge of the roulette turned from a light blue directly to a deep blue, then emitted a trace of purple, finally flashing with purple light.
This meant that the minimum quality for drawing this superpower would be purple.
Finally, the pointer stopped at a certain position.
The next second.
A hint of epic orange emerged amidst the brilliant purple light, but ultimately the remaining power was insufficient, and the dazzling purple light thoroughly illuminated the entire cave.
Purple superpower, then?
Su Mu’s heart was calm without many ripples.
[Quality: Purple]
[Superpower: Basic Time Flow Speed (Special Class), can activate the ability to change the speed of time flow within a certain range around oneself by concentrating, the effective multiplier and range of the time flow speed are related to the strength of the user’s Spiritual Power. The longer the control of time, the larger the range, and the more living beings affected within the range, the greater the backlash suffered.]
[PS: Can be used only once per day, and can accumulate before the superpower disappears.]
[PS: Those who attempt to disturb time must first consider whether they can withstand the backlash of time. Think thrice before proceeding.]
A quick glance.
Su Mu’s eyes shone brightly, as past experience in drawing superpowers had informed him.
Involving space, time, and even destiny, these enigmatic special talents, once the method is found, their effects will far exceed traditional superpowers.
Changing the speed of time flow within a certain range around oneself?!
Su Mu appeared slightly surprised, having previously drawn some time-related talents, such as Future Sight or Future Simulation.
Regardless of which, they were, in essence, just as a bystander, even with Future Simulation allowing personal participation, but in reality, the current timeline wouldn’t change, just an observer.
And now, this new superpower allowed control over time.
This, in Su Mu’s view, even for a purple-grade superpower, its true value far exceeded purple!
"Not bad, truly a pleasant surprise."
"I just don’t know, with my current Spiritual Power... how many times the time flow speed can be changed and how far the range can cover."
A quick thought, and Su Mu came up with a method of application.
In an instant he felt some relief, thankfully he didn’t rush into the last Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool.
Su Mu thought he could try changing the time flow speed, allowing him to stay longer in the Giant Memory World, so that apart from the giant that stood until death, he might have the strength to obtain other giants’ memory heritage.
"I can give it a try!"
...
Four passages, the last Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool.
Su Mu casually extracted one of the cultivation pods, immersed his body directly within it, quietly awaiting the opportunity to enter the Giant Memory World.
After a short while.
The chaotic giant wills within the Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid, sharp like drill bits intent on piercing every inch of his flesh, converged and blended into one, forming a will, a will that transformed into a call from the soul.
Ancient and mournful songs reverberated in his ears, and this time Su Mu found he could understand half of them.
The fallen giants slowly awoke.
Just when Su Mu intended to leave, his body shuddered.
Not far away, in the pit where the giant he controlled was located, a blood arrow left by fresh blood appeared, Su Mu slowly turned around.
The arrow pointed in the opposite direction of the fallen land of the ever-standing giant.
Yet Su Mu remembered clearly, last time, and several times prior, there was no such mark here.
In a moment, Su Mu’s heart trembled violently.
He suddenly thought of two possibilities.
One, perhaps this world is not purely a world of giant memories after their fall? It is as if what he previously assumed the Black Fog World was a dream.
The second possibility, someone else has also entered this world through some method, and the person evidently discovered him, hence leaving a blood arrow as a clue.
Dream?
Or a real world?!
In this instant, Su Mu was struck.
"No, Bai Qingli once said she had already died, and had no chance to see the complete defiance of destiny... so this is just the Land of Giant Fall, different from the Black Fog World."
The sudden change completely disrupted Su Mu’s plan.
Originally, his plan was to go to the pit where the giant stood until its fall and then activate the new superpower to attempt changing the time flow speed near that pit, thereby attempting to access more of the giants’ memory heritage. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
But now an unexpected and entirely new option had appeared.
"Who could that person be?"
"When did he discover me, and where does he intend to guide me?"
Su Mu looked towards the area behind him, he had never thought of going there before, because it was all vague, earlier in the Giant’s Blood Cave, he had attempted to approach these ambiguous edges.
Finally discovering that touching those vague boundaries would lead into a maze, causing him to return to the place of awakening, so he hadn’t attempted again in recent times.
So then...
Should he take a look?
Su Mu stood at the brink of decision-making.
