High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 279 - 239: Peerless, Fire Breathing

Upon hearing that voice, and seeing the blinding brilliance of that radiant light.

The few remaining individuals in the fortress shuddered violently, sitting up from their deathbeds in shock. In an instant, under the instinct to survive, a newfound energy surged from their feeble bodies.

This energy was called dawn.

If you could live, who would wish to die?

"Is this, could it be that reinforcements have arrived?!" someone hesitantly asked.

The next second, someone confidently spoke up.

"That’s right, it must be reinforcements, we’ve finally waited for them!"

In an instant, everyone was overjoyed, and the few still alive took deep breaths, then approached the large hole broken through the wall to look outside.

They saw a tall figure shimmering with golden light, standing proudly atop the corpses of Fierce Beasts.

A piercing sound rang out once again.

"Watch out!" someone inside the fortress exclaimed in alarm.

But the next second, the voice abruptly stopped, as they felt an unprecedented terrifying sword momentum rise skyward amidst the sound of roaring waves, punching a large hole through the oppressive black clouds over the fortress.

The person shimmering with golden light snorted coldly.

"This move is useless against me!"

Even though Su Mu had not yet managed to condense the Three Flowers, he had gained some mastery of his spiritual power, defending his Sea of Consciousness with spiritual power, under the protection of the sword momentum, he was no longer afraid of spiritual power attacks, at least Grandmaster Level spiritual power attacks did not affect him in the slightest.

Su Mu’s figure flickered, locking onto a figure hidden within the Beast Tide. After taking a deep breath, white smoke billowed from his entire body, instantly surpassing the speed of sound.

On his shoulder, Foodie flapped its wings and let out a call.

Under the resonant call, a mystical bird of flames formed into a shadow, and then everyone in the fortress witnessed an unbelievable scene.

At this moment, it was as if the world had stopped, for the endless Beast Tide stiffened for an instant under that call.

And that moment was enough for Su Mu to approach, seeing fear in the eyes of the ostrich-like Fierce Beast.

"Found you!"

Su Mu raised his blade, eyes filled with surging waves, and the blade qi from his lungs instantly merged with the blade qi from his sword, spitting out a terrifying blade beam over ten meters long from the Cold Moon Blade.

Fifth Form of Surging Waves Saber Technique: Annihilation!

A giant wave slashed down.

Blood light burst forth.

Amidst the gushing blood, as a large head flew up in an instant, a sliver of dawn appeared on the horizon, true dawn spilled over the earth.

In an instant, everyone in the fortress who was still alive, even the previously dying fat man, suddenly stood up; this slash seemed to have ushered in the dawn!

Everyone’s eyes involuntarily moistened.

"Dawn... this time it’s true dawn!"

Dawn descended, dispelling the night, the hopeless night was about to end, and daybreak had come!

...

"Foodie, well done."

On Su Mu’s shoulder, Foodie, after letting out this call, seemed somewhat depleted after continuous calls throughout the night, but its mood was extremely excited at this moment.

"Leave the rest to me now."

Su Mu tightened his grip on the Cold Moon, surveying the endless Fierce Beasts, finally understanding why the 996th Division had fallen, for there were simply too many Fierce Beasts.

At this moment, he felt like a reef, with the Fierce Beasts like waves in a storm, surging endlessly, without respite.

Moreover, the number of Fierce Beasts did not decrease with the arrival of daylight. The ground trembled as countless dark Fierce Beasts continued to swarm over the ruins like clouds pressing down from the distant horizon.

Su Mu felt immense pressure, and the pressure continued to rise.

Yet feeling this pressure, the blood within him began to boil.

Consequently, his entire body began to tremble slightly, not out of fear but out of extreme excitement.

This feeling made the heart in Su Mu’s chest pound like a war drum, as he took a deep breath, swallowing the surrounding air entirely, creating a vast vacuum around him.

As the golden light flowed, with the writhing of flesh, a series of crisp sounds like frying soybeans erupted, bones resonating, each muscle line filled with explosive power.

The dormant dragon within Su Mu awoke in earnest.

"Perhaps this battle..."

"Is what I have been waiting for."

"If I see no end, then just kill, carve out a path..."

Boom.

The air around Su Mu distorted instantly, as his entire being erupted with blistering white smoke, sending the Fierce Beasts surging around him flying.

The next second, his Red Flame Saber in hand, left hand wielding the Cold Moon, right hand the Red Flame, then he charged into the midst of the Beast Tide.

Waves soaring to the heavens.

Fifth Form of Surging Waves Saber Technique: Annihilation.

Great sun hot and overbearing.

Flaming Sun Saber Technique, Flaming Sun Slash!

Under the immense waves and scorching sun, one after another Fierce Beasts fell like autumn wheat being harvested.

The few in the fortress were utterly stunned, some with mouths agape, unable to close them without using hands to manually do so, but soon enough someone noticed a detail.

The fat man opened his mouth in surprise.

"The reinforcement seems to be... only him, alone?"

In an instant, everyone was taken aback, but that surprise flickered only briefly. Looking at the immense waves and scorching sun, someone gulped heavily and murmured.

"Is one person not enough?"

"I feel with just him... that’s more than enough!"

"That’s right, I think so too, this guy is so strong!"

...

Blade after blade, two entirely different powers of heaven and earth were alternately invoked.

In the continuous wielding of his sword, Su Mu’s eyes slightly brightened as he keenly sensed something from his initial discomfort.

That was, as he invoked the power of heaven and earth, his Inner Breathing Technique subtly absorbed a similar aura, as if when he executed a Flaming Sun Slash, his breath would become scorching hot.

And when he executed Annihilation, his breath would surge wildly like a mighty wave.

Once his breath became closer to the invoked power of heaven and earth, the might of the Grandmaster Secret Technique he performed would be enhanced.

Su Mu swung his sword again.

He instantly felt a sense of stagnation because just now, he had continuously performed several Annihilations, and now this blade was a Flaming Sun Slash.

Under the Great Sun.

This time, many Fierce Beasts even had the chance to let out a few wails.

"As expected... completely opposite breathing will diminish the might of the Grandmaster Secret Technique, while breathing closer to the power of heaven and earth will make the corresponding power stronger!"

"The attribute of Flaming Sun Slash is fire..."

"The attribute of Annihilation is water..."

"The two powers of heaven and earth I have mastered are water and fire!"

"Breathing Technique has reached Great Success, there should be a higher realm above Inner Breathing... it should be Attribute Breathing that aligns with the power of heaven and earth, such as Water Breathing, Fire Breathing!"

At this moment, Su Mu was no longer with the 1198th Division where Zhen Yue was, but the Power of Destiny relayed from all warriors of the 1198th Division not only did not diminish, but became more intense.

With the continuous infuse of the Power of Destiny, not only was Su Mu’s Qi and Blood Power, Spiritual Power, and inner self rapidly recovering, but his heart’s comprehension became increasingly profound, and in repeated usage, Su Mu gradually entered a state of selflessness.

A trace of madness flickered in his eyes, then he began to extract a single strand of the power of heaven and earth into his body.

Bang!

As the fire attribute power of heaven and earth entered his body, Su Mu was instantly ignited, transforming himself into a mass of flames,

Su Mu’s whole body quivered, but he did not stop, instead urging the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique and Golden Essence Armor to the extreme, then guided the fire attribute power of heaven and earth into his body.

He could clearly feel the flames circulating with his breath, with a subtle change in the burning sensation and breath, seemingly indicating a deeper fusion.

Su Mu’s eyes suddenly brightened, completely immersed within.

His breathing became increasingly slow and heavy, a mass of flames traveling through his limbs and hundreds of veins with each breath.

Then Su Mu unleashed a slash.

An extraordinarily powerful Great Sun descended.

Under the domineering and scorching rays of the Great Sun, this time a swath of Fierce Beasts turned directly into charcoal, leaving none able to wail.

"The prototype of Fire Breathing... my thinking is correct!"

Su Mu murmured, appearing crazed, and his sword grew faster and faster.

...

"This is the ninth wave already..."

Nine suns existed simultaneously, nine suns in the sky!

Watching wave after wave of Great Suns descend, everyone within the fortress was completely stunned. Is this guy still human?

Two words uncontrollably emerged in their minds.

One was mowing down.

One was unrivaled...

As time passed, the sun shed its youthfulness, its radiant beams hung high in the sky, ten suns in the sky!

That midday scorching sun seemed to crown the figure shimmering in golden light with a final coronation.

The figure shimmering in golden light was like the embodiment of the sun on earth. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Su Mu is the Great Sun.

Fierce Beasts fell like weeds, layer after layer, the viewers completely awed, fully speechless, overwhelmed by the continuous and tremendous impact and shock.

They were at a loss for words to describe the scene before them.

...

578th Division.

Shi Hao carried Xu Zhi back to the camp from the battlefield, yet even though they had returned to the safety of the camp, their faces betrayed lingering fear.

Xu Zhi was pale, his left leg was a void, shattered during the slaying of a Grandmaster level Fierce Beast, and Shi Hao’s chest bore a horrific bloody hole, presently plugged by his Qi and Blood.

Having narrowly escaped death, the two took several deep breaths, yet found no joy of survival, only deeper despair.

The 578th Division was right beside the 577 Elite Division, given a death sentence last night by their sector to fight to the last soldier.

Originally, their line of defense could barely hold, but the incessant surge of Fierce Beasts from the south drove the 578th Division to its limit.

Regiment leader Zhang Dashan immediately attempted to contact the 996th Division guarding the southern line, only to find the entire 996th Division was out of contact.

"The 996th Division likely had their line broken; entirely wiped out, if there’s no reinforcement... my 578th Division won’t last till dawn." Zhang Dashan’s face was ashen as he sternly looked towards the south.

Not long after, a squad of scouts brought back news.

"Speak."

"Regiment leader, the Fierce Beasts in the south have been cut off again!"

"Good!" Zhang Dashan gritted his teeth, uttering a single word of relief.

Upon hearing the news, all the warriors of the 578th Division couldn’t help clenching their fists and cheering, finally seeing a glimmer of hope for survival!

"Xu Zhi, did you hear? The Fierce Beasts in the south have been cut off again; it must be the 996th Division reorganizing their line; Xu Zhi, you must hold on!"

"We will definitely survive this Beast Tide, we surely will..." Shi Hao murmured, his voice growing weaker.

"Mm."

Xu Zhi just echoed, the world spun wildly, and Shi Hao, carrying him, collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
