High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 454 - 346: Terrifying Speculation, Death of the Great Sage, Southern War Zone’s Frenzy, Operation Dawn! (Part 2)

Su Mu discovered that the outline of the sky seemed to be connected with the ground beneath his feet, as if part of a vast, limitless whole.

For a moment, Su Mu’s breathing became extremely rapid.

Size often correlates with strength; for human martial artists, it’s the size of the Martial Arts Golden Body, and for Fierce Beasts, it’s the size of their flesh. A thousand years ago, the Two-headed Flood Dragon, slain by a Human Great Sage, wasn’t even a few hundred.

If this was truly a whole, a living creature, its size far exceeded kilometers, tens of kilometers, even a hundred kilometers, and was boundlessly vast. Such power would definitely be terrifyingly beyond that of a Martial Saint!

Su Mu has always had a bad habit of imagining the worst-case scenarios when pondering over problems.

"If this is truly a whole, a living existence..."

"Could the Dream World have always been inside this monster?"

"If so, was that blast of black gale just now the breath of this monster?"

"And that thunderous sound, its heartbeat?"

"What lies before me aren’t feelers at all... but the hair of this monster..."

Instantly, even as an avatar of consciousness, Su Mu felt a shiver run through his body, with indescribable negative emotions running rampant all over him.

Due to the tremendous impact, Su Mu’s pupils contracted sharply, and his breathing became exceedingly heavy.

After a long while.

Su Mu took deep breaths to slightly calm his mood. His expression was extremely grave as his rationality told him at that moment that this might be the true culprit behind the extinction of the Relic Giants.

And thirteen years from now, he would have to confront such a monster.

A terrifying existence whose heartbeat nearly made him lose himself completely.

Just thinking about it, Su Mu couldn’t stay calm again; despair, panic, and other negative emotions washed over him like a tidal wave once more.

Faced with such a terrifying monster...

Is there really any hope for him, for humanity?

Su Mu murmured to himself, but in the darkness, he was alone, with no one to answer him.

Endless darkness engulfed him.

Loneliness, despair.

Just like the annihilated Relic Giants of the past, or a spark about to be extinguished in the eternal night.

...

In the Southern War Zone conference room, elderly officers in Southern War Zone uniforms gathered as Yue Jun was about to speak.

The door of the conference room was knocked.

"Come in."

"Marshal Yue, just now, we detected an abnormal space fluctuation in the Beast Cave, but it’s very different and far more violent than the space rift that swallowed the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Jun’s expression turned grim. As expected, Su Mu and the others inside the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool were taken to the depth of the Beast Cave by a space rift.

"Tell me, on which level?"

"It’s not quite certain yet..." the adjutant hesitated to reply.

Hearing this answer, Yue Jun’s heart sank, knowing that things were indeed advancing towards the worst-case scenario.

Soon, a specially designed satellite phone from the War Zone rang on the adjutant’s body.

"Give me the phone."

"Yes." The adjutant handed over the phone.

"Marshal Zhang, according to the coordinates detected by the space instruments, the only thing we can confirm for now is that Qin Heng’s General Star team is currently located at least below the Sixth Floor, and it’s very likely..."

"You mean to say... they’ve very likely been swept down to below the Seventh Floor by that space rift, right?"

Yue Jun continued.

"That’s right, very likely..."

"Marshal Yue, is that you?" The voice on the other end was suddenly panicked upon hearing Yue Jun’s voice.

Yue Jun handed back the phone, and suddenly a powerful momentum poured out.

He stood up abruptly, slapping his large hand on the table. The long conference table made of special metal shattered into pieces instantly.

"Have troops 175, 179... gathered yet?"

"They are still assembling."

"Pass my command; I will temporarily launch a special military exercise. With the Blood Eagle Team as the vanguard, the elite troops of War Zone 175, 179... will assemble and follow. We will set out at dawn tomorrow. The exercise location: the Fifth Floor of the Giant Beast Cave..."

"Marshal Yue!"

An old officer, wearing the rank of Eight-Star, stood up and interrupted Yue Jun’s words, "I believe what you need to do now is to calm down first. We have a rough understanding of the situation with the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool; let us handle this matter..."

"Calm down?"

"I am very calm now, and I know exactly what I’m doing. That’s why it’s only the Fifth Floor of the Beast Cave and not the deepest part. This action will last three months. I am giving orders, not discussing with you."

"Marshal Yue, any military action of such scale... exercise, must be reported to the Military Department first," another elder spoke up.

Yue Jun swept a glance at everyone, speaking in a deep voice.

"100%..."

100%?

The people present were slightly stunned. The incident happened suddenly, and the meeting had not officially started. They only had a rough understanding that there was an anomaly with the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool and did not know the reason for Yue Jun’s apparent madness.

"That’s right. This time, the No. 4 passage had once swallowed a share of 100%, and this was based on the War Zone’s entire investment in Giant Bone Marrow this time."

"Think about it carefully yourselves."

Upon hearing this, all the elderly officers in the uniforms, the commanders of the Southern War Zone, were extremely moved, standing solemnly, including the second in the war zone, Qian Xuemin.

Back then, even the demon-like Huangfu Tian could only reach 51%, just over half, already unmatched, overwhelming Huaxia’s Celestial Prides.

If all of this was true, it is no wonder that Yue Jun, who usually remains unfazed by anything, would react so intensely. No, this is not madness; it’s rationality!

"Marshal Yue, do you mean Su Mu is inside the No. 4 passage?!"

"There’s that possibility, but even if it’s not him, this person must not be harmed, whoever he is. Even if he’s not from our war zone, he will still be Huaxia’s Heaven-Supporting Jade Pillar!" Yue Jun declared solemnly.
