Chapter 449 - 343: The King of Ferocious Beasts’ Pact, the 4th Immortal Cell, Disaster Memory Fragment (5K)
In short, after this, the beast tide subsided, Holy Realm Fierce Beasts no longer appeared, and humanity welcomed a thousand-year period of peace.
As an exchange, no country was allowed to easily venture deep into the Giant Beast Cave, and Saint Realm Powerhouses were absolutely forbidden to enter, otherwise it would be considered a unilateral breach of the agreement between the Great Sage and the King of Ferocious Beasts.
As for why Yue Jun was so well-versed with this little-known legend, it was because it was personally explained to him by the former Commander-in-Chief on the day he assumed the highest command of the Southern War Zone.
This legend was not mere rumor but truly existed. It’s just that its significance was so great; to avoid causing unnecessary panic among the public, the leaders of various countries mutually agreed to seal off this information. Now, only a very select few from the core of each nation were aware, passing it down through generations, without leaving any written or electronic records.
Additionally, even without this agreement, even if the King of Ferocious Beasts didn’t exist.
The Giant Beast Cave, vast as it is, forms its own little world, a world belonging to the Fierce Beasts and not humans.
Looking for the whereabouts of those four within it would be like finding a needle in a haystack, and the manpower and resources required would be substantial, with potentially catastrophic human casualties.
Thinking of this.
Yue Jun’s feelings were quite complex. Just like Huangfu Tian’s betrayal, now he finally glimpsed a shred of dawn that could illuminate the long night in Su Mu, yet the heavens played another trick on him.
"I just hope I’m overthinking it..."
Coming back to his senses, Yue Jun maintained a calm demeanor and issued several commands in succession.
"Contact the headquarters for me, check whether the General Star Soul Orders of both Su Mu and Qin Heng have any anomalies. I want results immediately."
"Zhou Gu."
"Marshal Yue, I’m here!"
"Transmit my military order, assemble the Blood Eagle Team, ready at all times."
"Yes!"
"Notify everyone at headquarters, I want to convene a headquarters meeting immediately. All headquarters members still in the Southern War Zone must be present..."
Each command was issued, and everyone present felt a chill in their hearts. Assembling the Blood Eagle Team and holding a headquarters meeting indicated the seriousness of the matter.
In the face of orders, seeing Marshal Yue’s composed demeanor, everyone felt immensely reassured. No one hesitated even for a moment, and upon careful consideration, it made sense, because it wasn’t just Qin Heng and Su Mu, the two General Stars of the war zone.
There was also Ye Wuhen and Ximen Gu among them.
These two have behind them two of Huaxia’s top forces, the top Martial Arts Family, the Ye Family, and the Sword Pavilion.
However, those present were unaware.
In their eyes, the serene and composed Yue Jun was inwardly not at peace, and at the moment he didn’t care about Ye Wuhen and Ximen Gu, he only cared about one person.
That person was Su Mu.
Just thinking that Su Mu was very likely the one who seized the entire Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool from the hands of the three Demons, the energy black hole at Warehouse No. 4.
Yue Jun’s hands, clasped behind his back, clenched abruptly.
Su Mu absolutely cannot be allowed to come to harm.
As long as there is a sliver of chance, he would stop at nothing!
...
The great earthquake outside did not reach this place; inside the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool, all was calm.
Yet it only seemed calm.
Dong dong!
Like the grand sound of a great bell resonating throughout the stone cave.
From within that amber-colored golden Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid, a powerful heartbeat resounded, within the breaths of those Immortal Cells, the entire large stone cave trembled and resonated rhythmically.
That heartbeat was clearly the center of the entire stone cave!
Gurgle gurgle.
The water level in the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool continuously dropped, and every second, the terrifying energy contained in the consumed cleansing liquid was enough to instantly create a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
At a certain moment.
The calm of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool was suddenly shattered.
Like a silver vase breaking, a terrifying aura instantly permeated the entire space.
The Dragon of the Abyss emerged, and the air within the stone cave immediately solidified under this oppressive force, a force so strong even a Grandmaster would suffocate.
Hu!
The Abyssal Dragon exhaled, Su Mu opened his eyes after taking a long breath, behind him a phantom of the Supreme Martial Arts Gate flickered, and in his eyes appeared two Great Suns.
When he stood up from the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool, white steam surged and rolled, then spread in circles.
Su Mu stretched his muscles and bones.
A gentle glow emanated from his flesh, and upon a closer look, this glow did not come from the area between his eyebrows or his heart but from his lungs.
After draining the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool, the third Immortal Cell was formed!
An instant burst of energy leaked from Su Mu’s flesh and shattered the solidified air, scorching energy shot out forming a fierce wind enough to shred gold and iron, rampaging within the stone cave.
"As expected, I still can’t have infinite refills, good times are always short..."
Su Mu walked out of the dried-up Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool, his muscles shaped like a great dragon swayed, and in the next second surged like the Great River, each line tough and powerful, containing terrifying strength unimaginable to any Grandmaster.
With a thought, Su Mu took out a set of Physical Training Suit intending to put it on, but suddenly paused.
"No, there should still be some left in the other three Bone Marrow Cleansing Pools."
The Crystal Human Form in the Sea of Consciousness opened its eyes, and in an instant the entire cave was under his grasp; he saw the golden amber flowing within the cleansing pools in the other three paths.
In the next moment, his Spiritual Power focused on the Silver Steps, now the Qi and Blood within the three bodies had completely quieted, sealed by the Silver Chain.
Simultaneously, Su Mu saw the three bodies constantly trembling, with a faint black mist already appearing around them.
Clearly, the three were in dire straits; once the black mist completely enveloped them, they would be utterly lost in endless cycles, eventually becoming one of the thousands of skeletons on the steps.
