High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 210 - 184: Hunter Association, Blade of Authority (Part 3)

Continuing forward, just before the last high wall, there was a heavy guard. After checking Su Mu’s identity, the soldiers allowed him to pass.

Su Mu took a deep breath and stepped inside the high walls, into the outskirts of the Beast Cave, where his pupils constricted sharply.

On the ground, a massive black hole suddenly appeared before his eyes, seeming endless.

For a moment, an odd thought flashed through Su Mu’s mind.

The bottomless pit before him was the abyss leading to Hell.

Su Mu trembled slightly all over, at this moment he vaguely felt he had touched upon the truth of this world, the Beast Cave must be hiding the secrets of this world.

This feeling previously came once from his teacher’s mention of the Human Great Sage and the Ninth Level Weapon.

Strength determines vision. If Su Mu was still the security guard who couldn’t break through to Third Level Martial Artist, he wouldn’t be able to touch all of this, because he wouldn’t have the qualifications. Most people in this world also don’t have these qualifications.

The ground was also trembling slightly, from within the cave came the furious roars of beasts, echoing between heaven and earth, making even a Grandmaster Martial Artist seem incredibly insignificant before such a grand spectacle of nature.

"So this is the Beast Cave, the existence that once pushed humanity to the brink of extinction."

"For thousands of years, human martial artist ancestors have been fighting against such terrifying creatures!"

At this moment, Su Mu couldn’t help but imagine the scene of human ancestors forging ahead one after another, using flesh and blood to fill the abyss before him. What a tragic and heroic scene it must have been.

Immediately, Su Mu felt solemn respect; he grew respectful towards the human Great Sages and ancestors of this world.

...

With a rumbling sound, many Spirit Stones shattered, transforming into rich Spiritual Qi, promptly illuminating the inscription-lit gigantic machines like colossal beasts.

A heavy metallic vertical elevator capable of holding over ten thousand people at once sent another group of hunters to the first layer of the Beast Cave.

The elevator opened, revealing a primitive, wild world; it was a place of primeval forests.

Su Mu’s heart tightened, as he felt the change in gravity.

"The gravity of this first layer of the Beast Cave is nearly twice that of the outside... and it’s said the gravity increases even more as you go deeper."

Fierce Beasts born and raised in a multi-gravity environment have strengths far surpassing those outside.

The hunters poured out from the elevator, mostly forming small teams, with only a few acting as lone wolves. Some even extended invitations to Su Mu, which he declined.

After this batch of hunters left, Su Mu took out a map. The map given by the Hunter Association only showed the first two layers, but after hundreds of years of struggle and exploration, these first two layers were extremely detailed.

"The gravity on the first layer ranges from 1.5 to 2 times, the strength of the Fierce Beasts ranges from Tier Three to Tier Four, but Tier Five may also appear."

"The gravity on the second layer ranges from 2 to 2.5 times, the strength of the Fierce Beasts is above Tier Four, but below Tier Six."

Su Mu matched the tasks he took with the map and quickly sketched a hunting route in his mind.

"Let’s set out."

Not long after passing through the dense forest, a strong wind blew, and the world suddenly darkened as a massive shadow loomed from above. Su Mu looked up.

In the sky, a peculiar creature with a wingspan close to six meters, grey feathers with red edges, and a lizard-like head appeared. It was a Fierce Beast he had never seen before.

"A Tier Five Fierce Beast, just in time!"

Su Mu’s mind moved, yet he did not draw his sword. Instead, he activated the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique, and as a golden light flowed, his eyes lit up like two golden suns, the Blade Qi nurtured in his lungs was also instantly stirred.

At this moment, he raised his right palm. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The Yin and Yang of the Blade Qi instantly became sharp, as the blade qi crisscrossed, the shadow of a blazing sun also condensed behind Su Mu, the scorching light and heat waves instantly distorted the surrounding air. At this moment, Su Mu seemed to be the incarnation of the blazing sun.

The next second, his right palm came down, launching the blazing sun fiercely.

Hiss!

The strange bird diving through the air was cut into two pieces from a distance of tens of meters, its feathers instantly ignited by the palm blade, transforming into a bird of flames as it plummeted to the ground.

In this attack, Su Mu did not use the Great Success Blade Momentum.

"Indeed, the Grandmaster Secret Techniques are extraordinary."

"After channeling Blade Qi into my body... I’m no longer so reliant on the sword."

"It’s just that my lungs currently cannot contain too much Blade Qi; the strength is still insufficient. This can be used as a trump card, my thought process was not wrong."
