High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 300 - 253: Desolate Cage, Crushing Barrier, Crystal Human Form

Chapter 300: Chapter 253: Desolate Cage, Crushing Barrier, Crystal Human Form

The violent spiritual power surged into Su Mu’s body, and in the sea of consciousness between his eyebrows, there was a splendid and dazzling sea of stars, which at this moment was flickering as it quickly digested and absorbed that cluster of silver light.

Boom!

A strong wave of spiritual power spread out from within him, and suddenly Su Mu felt that his five senses were significantly heightened at that moment.

The world perceived through spiritual power became more vivid, everything crystal clear, and Su Mu felt a sense of complete control.

Soon, a mysterious piece of information emerged in his mind.

A spiritual secret technique named ’Desolate Cage’ appeared.

At this moment, Su Mu, standing on the steps, shivered, and a scene emerged in his mind: a relic giant, with golden light glimmering, had eyes sparkling with two dazzling points of silver radiance.

A terrifying spiritual force surged out instantly, space twisted in that instant, and then a giant silver hand formed, directly grasping a fifty-meter-long, crimson Flood Serpent.

Then, the five fingers turned into columns of a cage, forming a giant cage with the hand, completely sealing the Flood Serpent.

This scene was immensely shocking and highly impactful.

The giant silver hand appeared as if the sky itself was trying to overshadow with its immense dominance.

...

After a long while.

Su Mu let out a breath, his face filled with ecstasy.

Just the first level of the steps, and his spiritual power had almost doubled; even though Su Mu had just recently awakened his spiritual power, such an increase could be considered terrifying.

Moreover, he was rewarded with a powerful spiritual secret technique: Desolate Cage.

If the Giant’s Cave in the Qi Blood Ruins was a trial left by the relic giant for their descendants at the Qi Blood level, then this ruin before him was a trial and reward arranged at the spiritual level by the relic giant.

Under normal circumstances, the difficulty of this spiritual-level trial was far more challenging than the Qi Blood level. Additionally, since Su Mu had just come into contact with spiritual power, his control over it was far inferior to his control over Qi and Blood.

The difficulty would thus be doubled, but in reality, it was not so.

Currently, Su Mu had the Destiny Superpower. As he recalled the process of his trial just now, he couldn’t help but show a peculiar expression on his face.

"These steps will construct corresponding trials based on my memories, testing spiritual power... The correct idea to pass should be experiencing death over and over, then awakening spiritual power from it and continuously improving, ultimately using spiritual power to clear the trial!"

"If one cannot pass, they would fall into a death loop repeatedly, possibly even completely losing themselves..."

"But now with my Destiny Superpower, the trial’s seal on other powers constructed by spiritual power was forcibly broken through by the Power of Destiny, allowing me to unseal the Surging Waves Saber Technique in a trial meant to only use spiritual power, and even in the end, I unsealed the Great Success Blade Momentum..."

"This is utterly a dimensional reduction strike for the Spiritual Secret Realm..."

The Alien Race Battlefield was just a dire situation he encountered when he first became a Third Level Martial Artist, and now even if he returns with only some of his abilities, given his strength capable of instantly killing ordinary grandmaster-level Fierce Beasts, he was completely sweeping through with ease.

Su Mu’s lips slightly curled upward as he looked at several Fierce Beasts beside him, who mostly were still in an endless loop of death, unable to ultimately clear the trial and thus losing their sense of self. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The final outcome would be, as for the previous trial takers, becoming one of the countless bones on the steps.

After understanding the trial principles of this Giant Ruins, Su Mu looked toward the remaining eight levels of steps, filled with anticipation in his heart.

"Let’s try the Desolate Cage first!"

Su Mu raised his right hand, his eyes flickering with two points of silver radiance; immediately, a solid spiritual force burst forth.

As his right hand slowly lifted.

A four to five-meter-sized silver hand slowly formed in the void. This silver hand, with the capability in his mind to cage a giant Flood Serpent dozens of meters long, couldn’t compare, but at this moment, Su Mu still bore a look of joy, because this was the first spiritual secret technique he mastered.

"Desolate Cage."

Su Mu uttered the two words, and his right hand grasped the void.

The giant hand in the void clenched sharply, then transformed into an incredibly sturdy-looking cage.

After forming the cage, Su Mu split his focus, launching the most primitive spiritual shock at the cage he formed; a few spiritual impacts merely caused slight ripples.

"Quite the Desolate Cage, not bad, not bad!"

Su Mu nodded in satisfaction, then dispelled the Desolate Cage.

Next, he wasn’t in a hurry to challenge the trial of the second level steps.

Instead, he intended to attempt again to comprehend the ’Crystal Visualization Technique’ in his sea of consciousness; previously, he was unable to reach entry level because the entry requires a high demand of spiritual power and has a high threshold!

Now that his spiritual power had doubled, he could try again.

The ’Crystal Visualization Technique’ can purify spiritual power, enhance spiritual power, and the first step requires the practitioner to visualize a human form in their mind.

This human form is entirely composed of pure spiritual power, requiring first to visualize the structure of a crystal, then gradually carve upon this basis, continuously visualizing, eliminate impurities little by little until it forms a perfect, flawless crystal human form identical to oneself...

Sharpening a knife does not delay chopping firewood, Su Mu reviewed the ’Crystal Visualization Technique’ multiple times and then began trying to channel his spiritual power according to the cultivation method described in the observation technique.

In the sea of consciousness, the star sea flickered, strands of spiritual power were mobilized, then coalesced into a silver human form above the star sea.
