High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 158 - 142: A Slash That Shatters the Void, Qi Blood Secret Realm Opens

Chapter 158: Chapter 142: A Slash That Shatters the Void, Qi Blood Secret Realm Opens

Numerous holes appeared on the blade, varying in size, and the blade became dull, as if corroded by some power.

The damage was so severe, yet strangely, the stored Blade Qi had entirely vanished, but it seemed not to have leaked out.

Su Mu was a bit perplexed. During the battle, he had fully activated the Insightful Eyes. He vaguely noticed that the spatial rift seemed to appear close to the blade.

Did my strike shatter the void?!

"I must have been mistaken... it was just a mere coincidence."

As for backlash, Su Mu was long accustomed to it, and this time the backlash wasn’t severe. His five viscera and six viscera had been refined.

Su Mu immediately sheathed the blade, putting it into his Space Ring.

...

Boom, boom, boom.

The battlefield’s roar continued, and the moment the balance was broken, reinforcements from both humans and the Alien Race entered the fray, a storm descended.

Thus, Su Mu was even more convinced that he was mostly mistaken and that the spatial rift had nothing to do with him.

Though it seemed long, it all occurred within just a few minutes.

Soon, under Zhang Lie’s guidance, the people from the main camp found Su Mu and Chai Wu.

"Su Mu?" Lin Ying saw Su Mu beside Chai Wu, looking surprised and suspicious.

Su Mu appeared extremely calm, his face as usual, while Chai Wu’s face was flushed, covered in blood, with many parts mangled, his whole body emanating a restless Qi and Blood fluctuation, clearly having just gone through a fierce battle.

Seeing this, Lin Ying quickly guessed the situation.

"Hmph, it’s likely Chai Wu escaped on his own and Su Mu just happened to stumble upon it, getting credit for nothing again."

"Chai Wu, are you okay?"

"Su Mu, why are you here? Did you take action?"

The speakers were Zhang Lie and Tantai Yan.

Before Su Mu could answer, Lin Ying couldn’t help but snicker, but his laughter stopped abruptly, as Chai Wu looked at Su Mu with respect and gratitude in his eyes.

"Correct, it was Su Mu who saved me just now!"

"Su Mu saved you? Isn’t he just a Fifth Level? And wasn’t there a Bloodline Alien Race, plus two Sixth Level Alien Races?" someone asked incredulously.

Everyone turned to Chai Wu, full of surprise.

Under the watchful eyes, Chai Wu shook his head, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, while Lin Ying thought to himself ’as expected’, then Chai Wu spoke.

"The situation was actually more critical. Besides those, there were over a dozen Fifth Level Alien Races, basically the main force of the alien base camp was all there."

"Moreover, that Fifth Level Bloodline Alien Race was terrifyingly strong, no weaker than a Sixth Level Alien Race, even stronger, a member of the Alien Royal Family, capable of manifesting the Armor of Qi Blood. Even though I activated the Qi Blood Flower, I wasn’t his match, I couldn’t even force him to use his full power."

"What? Captain, you activated the Qi Blood Flower but still weren’t a match, not even able to force full power?!"

"This, how is this possible."

Everyone present breathed faster, all showing disbelief, especially Zhang Lie, knowing the strength difference; although Chai Wu, from the army, was a bit behind him in cultivation, in real battle, Zhang Lie would be subdued by Chai Wu.

Chai Wu had emerged from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, having faced two Sixth Level Aliens one-on-one without faltering, yet such strength couldn’t defeat a Fifth Level Alien Royal?

"Alien Royals are indeed terrifying!" Zhang Lie silently lamented.

"In any case, this isn’t something glorious, I have no reason to lie about it. Ultimately, Su Mu came to rescue me, with just two strikes he forced the Bloodline Alien Race that had defeated me to use full strength, even slamming the royal into the ground, you didn’t see it, truly satisfying!"

For a moment, others fell silent, still incredulous, someone questioned again.

"Was it really Su Mu who saved you, Captain?"

Chai Wu, still elated at surviving, seemed not to hear the question, "Those two Sixth Level Alien Races were despicable, trying to gang up on Su Mu. Fortunately, it’s like heaven favored the worthy, it must have been our reinforcements arriving, because a spatial rift appeared, scaring off the Aliens."

"By the way, which Grandmaster from the city intervened this time, or was it a Grandmaster from the War Zone?" Chai Wu was extremely excited, spitting saliva as he spoke.

"A Grandmaster intervened?" Zhang Lie was puzzled.

"Isn’t that so?"

"At least on our side, no Grandmaster stepped in... the Alien side wouldn’t be so reckless, right? Unless they wanted a mutual destruction."

"Ah? That space rift is?"

...

The group returned to the main camp. The Martial Arts Association and the military had sent reinforcements of twenty Sixth Level Martial Artists. Among them was even a martial artist who had condensed Three Flowers, one step away from the Grandmaster Realm, Major Lu Ming from the Southern War Zone.

Suddenly seeing so many Sixth Level Martial Artists, everyone was taken aback at first, then greatly encouraged.

"Major!"

Chai Wu, along with many others, stepped forward and saluted. They were all part of the military faction.

"Good, it’s nice to see you’re okay."

Lu Ming, who knew Chai Wu, patted him on the shoulder, then glanced at Su Mu, studying him quietly.

"It was Su Mu who saved me this time."

"Sergeant Su, we both serve in the Southern War Zone, so I won’t say much. But as an old friend of Chai Wu, I must thank you for saving him."

"I will report this matter to the Southern War Zone truthfully. For now, leave everything at the main camp to us. You three should go and cultivate. If there aren’t any accidents, the Secret Realm will emerge by dusk tomorrow."

Hailing from the military, Lu Ming handled matters swiftly and decisively, immediately taking over the affairs at the main camp and began giving orders.

Regarding the space rift affair as the Secret Realm was imminent, Major Lu Ming provided an explanation: as the Secret Realm is about to emerge, the battlefield’s space would become more unstable for a period of time. Thus, the space rift appeared just as their batch of Sixth Level Martial Artist reinforcements arrived at the battlefield, coincidentally appearing where it did.

Upon hearing this, some were still a bit skeptical, but Major Lu Ming’s explanation seemed reasonable enough, especially considering he’s only a step away from the Grandmaster Realm himself.

Afterward, Tantai Yan found Su Mu. This young lady, who was just in her early twenties, perhaps protected too well by her family, was extremely curious about everything with a look of naivety as if she hadn’t experienced much of the world.

But precisely because of this, Tantai Yan was very simple and easy to understand, and Su Mu enjoyed dealing with such straightforward people without needing to think too much.

"Su Mu, could you specifically talk about your fight with that Bloodline Alien Race–no, the Royal Family?"

Su Mu immediately gave a simple recount.

Tantai Yan listened with her eyes wide open, completely fascinated. After listening, she seemed unsatiated and hurriedly took out a bottle of elixir when she heard of Su Mu’s spitting blood.

"Su Mu... please take this, consider it a reward for telling me the story. No, I didn’t mean it like that..."

"Well, you should continue cultivating, I won’t disturb you. Let’s meet at the Secret Realm tomorrow."

"Okay."

After Tantai Yan left, Su Mu looked at the bottle of Blood Essence Pills placed in his hand and shook his head with a smile. These Blood Essence Pills were Sixth Level Elixirs, which had exceptional therapeutic effects on the body and even spiritual trauma, and were extremely valuable, not cheaper than ordinary Grandmaster-level Elixirs.

Back when in the Training Camp, Huangfu Xue also gave him such an elixir.

"Truly the generosity of a Martial Arts Family."

Storing the elixir back into his Space Ring, Su Mu once again took out the blade to inspect it.

"That one slash, perhaps it wasn’t an illusion... but a touch of the Grandmaster level!"

Su Mu’s eyes gleamed. After sheathing the blade, he closed his eyes, not in a hurry to cultivate, but to first digest the day’s battle.

The long night passed without incident.

The Secret Realm emerged earlier than anyone expected. At dawn, an anomaly appeared in the sky above Moonlight Valley, and suddenly, a powerful burst of spiritual energy waves spread out.

"The Secret Realm is about to emerge!"

Both the human and alien main camps immediately began gathering their forces, gearing up for combat. Each side had over twenty Sixth Level powerhouses, and the atmosphere on the field instantly became incredibly tense, as if the air itself could condense into water.

Before long, a Space Gate, shining with a silver light, two meters wide and four meters long, appeared over Moonlight Valley. However, this Space Gate was highly unstable, with ripples like water constantly appearing on its surface.

Half an hour later, the spiritual energy in Moonlight Valley had thickened to an astounding level, with fog enveloping the surroundings, formed by the spiritual energy.

In the misty fog, the Space Gate slowly began to open.

And just when both sides were ready for action, a red glow suddenly spread around the Space Gate, enveloping it in a layer of blood light.

"This isn’t good, it’s... a Qi Blood Secret Realm?!"

"Hahaha, fortune favors our race; this time it’s a Qi Blood Secret Realm. How can human martial artists of the same level compete with our warriors in terms of Qi and Blood?"
