High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late Chapter 499 - 367: Deep into the Bone and Marrow, Origin Rul

Great River Region.

The anger in the Thunder Flood Dragon’s voice faded, but the roar still echoed in the sky.

Once the reverberation dissipated as well.

The Thunder Flood Dragon noticed a severed bone within a pool of golden blood by the shore. With a thought, it used its spiritual power to snatch the bone into its presence, staring intently at it with its giant flood dragon eyes.

The bone was not the usual white but a pale gold, and from the cross-section, even its depths glimred with the sa golden hue.

Upon witnessing this, the Thunder Flood Dragon’s pupils constricted sharply, and its massive body trembled, causing the great river to surge with hundred-ter-high waves.

"How is this possible, bone-deep body tempering, although still a bit off, there’s no mistake... That human kid’s flesh has already surpassed the Fifth Forging level, evolving towards the Half-Step Saint Realm."

"How did this human kid break through the barrier..."

Instantly, the Thunder Flood Dragon recalled its two encounters with Su Mu, repeatedly pondering them, its eyes revealing a deep confusion.

Nearly a hundred-ter Martial Arts Golden Body, flesh touching the Half-Step Saint Realm, Qi and Blood and spiritual power also exceeding the Fifth Forging level.

However, by comparison.

That human kid’s Grandmaster’s Force Field seed sowhat immature, which normally indicated a recent promotion to a grandmaster.

But is that possible?

A newly promoted grandmaster human kid was able to escape under its nose twice, possibly due to an innate talent far exceeding his peers in one area.

But that kid’s overall strength is very peculiar.

"What a strange human kid... His Martial Arts Golden Body also seems off."

"Is he really just a human?"

The Thunder Flood Dragon narrowed its eyes slightly, recalling an ancient race long extinct. According to its racial heritage, a hundred-ter Martial Arts Golden Body could only be achieved by human Saint Realm powerhouses.

So when it first saw that Martial Arts Golden Body, the Thunder Flood Dragon was startled, but after exchanging blows, it realized it wasn’t as powerful as it had imagined. Though more flexible compared to the Martial Arts Golden Body in its mory, it rely reached the Half-Step Saint Realm.

Many doubts surfaced in the Thunder Flood Dragon’s mind, but it quickly ceased to dwell on them.

The Thunder Flood Dragon clutched the severed bone in its claw. This ti that human was arrogant, choosing to withstand its attack head-on, suffering far more severe injuries than before.

Flesh was scorched by thunder, tendons and bones shattered.

Upon reaching the Saint Realm, the Power of Rules begins to transform into the Power of Origin Rules. Currently, the Thunder Flood Dragon’s Rule of Thunder has completed twenty percent of its origin transformation.

Injuries caused by the Power of Origin Rules are not easily healed, especially the destructive nature of the Thunder Origin Rule, which annihilates the life force within flesh. Even Saint Realm powerhouses find it difficult to recover from direct trauma by origin rules.

The Thunder Flood Dragon didn’t believe that kid could recover quickly from such severe injuries.

"Last ti it seed just pitiful, with his flesh touching the Half-Step Saint Realm, if he had high-tier spiritual dicine, he could recover, but this ti with the origin rule’s injury..."

"There’s absolutely no way he can heal."

The Thunder Flood Dragon quickly concluded that although it hadn’t killed that human kid directly this ti, it felt pleased knowing that kid was struggling at death’s door.

...

On the other hand, the scene of soone struggling as the Thunder Flood Dragon envisioned did not materialize.

[Flow Speed: Thirteen tis]

[Duration: Twenty-seven hours]

In the dense forest, Su Mu glanced at the ti stopwatch and was briefly stunned.

The ti flow speed increased from ten tis to thirteen tis, and the duration extended from twenty-four hours to twenty-seven hours.

"After re-carving the Crystal Human Form, my spiritual power has improved sowhat."

"Thirteen tis flow speed, twenty-seven hours... which is nearly half a month, about a fifty percent increase compared to last ti, although the spiritual power boost wasn’t fifty percent."

Su Mu nodded silently, pleased inside, then began thoroughly checking the injuries from this special training.

The flesh on his arms and abdon was still charred black, the wounds shocking to behold, revealing deep white bone. Tendons and flesh were slowly writhing, unable to completely heal.

"This ti I was too overconfident..."

Su Mu mumbled, but this ti enduring the Thunder Flood Dragon’s strike wasn’t impulsive. He wanted to gauge how far he was from the true Saint Realm with that blow.

The results showed that...

"Not to ntion the Saint Realm, I am still a great distance from the Half-Step Saint Realm."

What Su Mu overlooked was that the Thunder Flood Dragon in the great river wasn’t an ordinary Half-Step Saint Realm creature. The Flood Dragon species is an innately powerful Fierce Beast race, and for them, fighting across small or even great realms is not uncommon.

Furthermore, fierce beasts mastering the Rule of Thunder are inherently formidable at the sa tier.

Yet here, Su Mu reversed the Celestial Spirit, daring to cross a great realm to confront the Half-Step Saint Realm Thunder Flood Dragon. Having just advanced to a Martial Arts Grandmaster, Su Mu surpassed more than one great realm.

However, at this mont, Su Mu didn’t realize this, or rather, his mindset and martial arts belief were thus.

When overmatched, Su Mu would only think himself lacking in power, too weak, and seek to increase his strength rather than ponder the formidable enemy.

Su Mu looked down, observing the interplay of Immortal Power and Fixed Star Body Refining Technique, golden light caused flesh to wriggle, and broken tendons and bones to heal, with each regenerated inch of skin as tender as a baby’s.

Though the new flesh appeared delicate, the skin grew stronger and more potent.

"Is the unusually slow recovery this ti due to the unique nature of the Rule of Thunder?"

Su Mu used his spiritual power to closely examine the circulating thunder within his flesh, noting that the Thunder Flood Dragon’s thunder power was not only exceptionally pure but continuously eroding the life force in his wounds.

This peculiar situation was one Su Mu had never encountered before, but currently, the Thunder Flood Dragon’s thunder power t its nesis.

The Immortal Power within his Immortal Cells flowed, gradually subduing the life-extinguishing thunder. Without Immortal Power, relying solely on Fixed Star Body Refining Technique to heal this injury would be extrely challenging.

"But without destruction, there can be no construction, and Nirvana brings rebirth. In a way, this too is a transformation."

"When the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique is cultivated to deep mastery, a martial artist’s body density and strength reach a terrifying level, comparable to a star. Qi and Blood beco as bountiful as a galaxy, and even a single drop of blood can allow rebirth..."

Su Mu gazed upwards, staring at the starry sky.

"The galaxy is brilliant, but its peril is unimaginable. To travel within with flesh alone, I wonder what kind of powerful physique is needed. Will I soday reach that stage?"

Su Mu reached for the starry sky. Though it seed within reach, it was infinitely distant. At this mont, Su Mu’s deep and calm expression vanished, revealing a child’s innocence, a fierce longing.

Hoo------

After a brief mont of thought, Su Mu exhaled gently, quickly calming his emotions and stepping firmly into cultivation.
