Chapter 504: Chapter 371: The Martial Arts Treasure of the Giants, Origin of the Martial Saint Tower, and the Origin Rule

Every fierce beast from the flood dragon species that qualifies to unlock ancestral memory can be considered a living fossil of martial arts, even a living fossil of the civilization on this planet. Yet, after speaking, Thunder God himself held many doubts in his heart.

It was because the ancestral memory he unlocked was incomplete, with several large breaks occurring in between that could not connect the past and present, as if they were erased out of thin air and then shrouded in thick fog.

"Long ago, probably after the disappearance of the ancient Giant Race, the path beyond the Fifth Forging in this world was severed..."

After listening, Su Mu’s eyes slightly brightened. All this corresponded with reality and the previous predictions in the Book of Destiny.

In the thousand years since the birth of humanity’s martial arts, the Grandmasters who advanced through the Fifth Forging were titled Titled Grandmasters, meaning the pinnacle of grandmasters, and there has never been any news regarding the Sixth Forging.

In the Book of Destiny, when Su Mu broke through to the Sixth Forging, there was this prefix: Unprecedented.

The Sixth Forging was predicted to be the Half-Step King Realm.

The Seventh Forging afterward was King Sealing, and the Eighth Forging was the Half-Step Saint Realm.

Everything matched.

But since the path beyond the Fifth Stage was severed, how did the Thunder God advance to the Half-Step Saint Realm?

Su Mu took a deep breath and continued to ask.

"If the path beyond the Fifth Forging is severed... Thunder God, how did you step onto the path beyond the Fifth Forging?"

Hearing the question, Thunder God glanced at Su Mu with irritation.

"I just said it’s nearly severed... How did your current human Martial Saints come about on the surface, don’t tell me you don’t know?"

"Moreover, in terms of your flesh, Qi and Blood, and Spiritual Power, especially your flesh, you have long surpassed the Fifth Forging. Are you unaware?"

Hearing this, Su Mu’s face showed a slight embarrassment, and then his heart trembled.

He himself in terms of flesh, Qi and Blood, and Spiritual Power has already surpassed the Fifth Forging?

For a moment, Su Mu’s mind spun rapidly, as if clouds were dispersing revealing the clear sky.

After stepping out of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool, he had never had a concrete understanding of his strength, because he sensed these things, but hadn’t reached the Sixth Forging yet. During this time, his energy and black fog energy were focused on the immortal cells and Fixed Star Body Refinement.

Su Mu’s martial arts differ greatly from the current human martial arts.

Now, being awakened by the Thunder God’s words, he also believed the Thunder God hadn’t sensed incorrectly.

In terms of Qi and Blood and flesh, reaching this point wasn’t easy for him.

It’s based on the Third-Turned Refining Technique, Essence Blood Secret Technique, then cultivating the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique, a Supreme Body Refining Technique, coupled with the creation of Immortal Cells, and finally completing the third root bone refinement postnatally in the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool.

Among them, the Secret of Power also played a role, and his own Power Talent had a certain impact.

In terms of Spiritual Power, it was based on the Nameless Meditation Technique taught by his Little Junior Sister, and the Crystal Human Form of the Crystal Visualization Technique gifted by the Dream Shadow, afterward also receiving the Silver Steps reward, and the inheritance of the Forbidden Giant’s Great Wilderness Four Forms.

What about humanity’s Martial Saints?

The answer was even more obvious, which was the Martial Saint Tower!

Suddenly, Su Mu’s eyes flickered slightly. At such a look, everything was closely linked with the Giant Race. Could this also be one of the backhands left to the future by the Forbidden Giants?

Thinking so in his heart, but when Su Mu opened his mouth, he bypassed himself and answered.

"I know a little about this. Now our human Martial Saints advance relying on the Martial Saint Tower."

"Hmph, the Martial Saint Tower, the name is quite fitting."

Thunder God snorted coldly again, "That thing is a martial arts treasure left by the ancient Giant Race, containing the martial arts inheritance of the Giant Race. More crucially..."

"That thing constitutes a space of its own."

At this point, Thunder God paused, his tone carrying a bit of uncertainty.

"Thunder God, are you saying that precisely because of this space, where the world is perfect and complete, it has achieved our current human Saint Realm martial artists?"

"That’s right, although this is just my guess, I’m sure it’s not far off." Thunder God didn’t beat around the bush and directly answered, then his gaze fell on Su Mu.

"If I’m not mistaken, you also carry the inheritance of the ancient Giant Race, especially in terms of flesh body tempering."

At this point, Su Mu also did not hide and nodded in response.

"That’s right, I indeed obtained part of the Giant’s inheritance."

Hearing Su Mu’s direct response, Thunder God nodded in his heart, a gleam of appreciation flashing in his eyes. This kid seemed somewhat different from the cunning humans in the inherited memories, quite an honest lad indeed.

"The ancient Giant Race was indeed a powerful race. The giants once had nine great royal families, jointly establishing an incomparably powerful realm—the Golden Giant Realm."

"The Martial Saint Towers that you humans now possess belong to the royal family of the Golden Giant Realm, created by the King of Golden Giants using the power of the nine royal families and the entire nation, as a martial arts treasure intended to pass down through eternity, enduring through the ages."

"Alas, everything turned out to be like a dream, ultimately just a bubble."

Mentioning the giants, even someone as arrogant as Thunder God revealed genuine yearning and a bit of respect in his tone and expression.

Meanwhile, in Su Mu’s heart, an overwhelming wave surged.

Golden Giant Realm?!

The martial treasure created by the entire power of the Nine Great Royal Families?!

In front of Su Mu appeared everything he saw after traversing the world of memories of the Giants’ Fall, and the final image was frozen on the steps of the throne and the two incredibly large giant towers that reached the sky and touched the earth, guarding before the throne.

According to the Thunder God, the predecessor of the Martial Saint Tower is likely those two giant towers guarding before the throne in the images.

However, Su Mu remembered that Marshal Yue mentioned the existence of thirty-three Martial Saint Towers.

"Could it be that after those two giant towers collapsed... they turned into the current thirty-three Martial Saint Towers?"

"If so, are the Martial Saint Towers merely fragments of those giant towers?!"

This hypothesis is too shocking.

For a moment, Su Mu’s eyes flickered and slightly narrowed.

If the hypothesis is true, then he has far underestimated the strength of the Giant Race, or rather, in the memory of the giants he encountered, when facing the black mist, the Giant Race was always in a position of being overwhelmed.

All this formed a preconceived notion for Su Mu.

Frags of the two giant towers in the Golden Giant Realm can allow today’s human martial artists to ascend to Martial Saint, how mighty must the Golden Giant Realm have been at its peak.

Such a powerful kingdom was annihilated completely, even the memory of the race erased.

How powerful has the Master of Black Fog become?!

Suddenly, Su Mu’s heart sank abruptly, feeling an incomparably heavy pressure.

"Perhaps the Thunder God knows something about the Master of Black Fog..."

Just when Su Mu was about to ask the Thunder God about things regarding the Master of Black Fog.

"Perhaps it suffered some kind of catastrophe, or perhaps the Giant Race was too powerful, the giant towers they forged too defiant and thus suffered some kind of curse, in any case, the Giant Race went extinct, and then an anomaly appeared in the heavens and earth, the path above the Fifth Forging collapsed..."

The Thunder God continued to narrate, his tone becoming increasingly filled with confusion.

Su Mu’s eyes flickered slightly, and immediately he realized that even the Thunder God in front of him was completely ignorant of everything that happened back then, thus, asking the Thunder God about the Master of Black Fog was also meaningless.

His mind raced quickly, and Su Mu quickly dismissed the meaningless thoughts, just as he was about to continue speaking.

The Thunder God spoke coldly.

"Almost got sidetracked by you, boy, anyway, the Tier Eight is just a transitional realm, above Tier Eight is the Tier Nine Saint Realm."

"The Tier Nine Saint Realm is divided into two types."

"Two kinds of Saint Realms... Thunder God, do you mean the Fifth Forging and above the Fifth Forging?" Su Mu was slightly taken aback.

"You are smart, but not quite so." The Thunder God shook his head, "The Saint Realm what you humans call the Martial Saint, but I prefer to call it the Fake Saint, and True Saint."

"Condensing the Power of Origin, stepping onto the Path of Origin, and condensing the Origin World is the True Saint Realm, the rest are all Fake Saints."

"The Power of Origin is the power touched after the Fifth Forging?"

"Ignorant, but I don’t blame you for not having the knowledge, except for the first who was born among you humans, the rest are merely Fake Saints, your understanding of the Power of Origin is merely superficial, it’s not the same as the true Power of Origin."

The Thunder God extended a nearly ten-meter-long gigantic flood dragon finger from the Great River.

"I’ll let you feel the difference yourself, boy."

A purple thunderbolt flickered.

Su Mu frowned slightly, this thunderbolt seemed too weak, far from the Thunder Power previously released by the Thunder God. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The next second.

Thunder gathered between heaven and earth and then condensed on that flood dragon finger.

"This is the Power of Origin, the Power of Origin Rules after the origin transformation."

Origin transformation?

Power of Origin Rules?!

Boom!

Su Mu’s breathing became rapid, his eyes burst forth with a brilliant light.

A whole new world, one he had never encountered, opened its doors to Su Mu.

At the same time...

At this moment, a faint, hard-to-believe thought emerged in Su Mu’s mind.

"Power of Origin Rules... perhaps I’ve already mastered one."
