High Martial: I Refine Corrupted Old Gods into Martial Arts

[High Martial Arts] + [Cthulhu] + [Corruption and Evolution] + [Monster Dissection] + [No System or Stat Points]

Fifty-three years ago, the abyss gazed upon the human world for the first time.

Since then, distorted forbidden zones have spread beyond the cities. The dead practice their punches inside their coffins, monsters with open eyes lurk in shadows, and the stronger a martial artist becomes, the more likely they are to hear the whispers of the Old Gods.

Ji Chentian was born with empty meridians and could not cultivate. His only choice was to work as the lowest-ranking corpse collector at a station that processed corrupted remains.

Then one night, a martial artist’s corpse, its heart ripped out, suddenly sat upright.

A talking black eyeball was hidden inside its chest.

“Don’t look behind you.”

“The thing in your shadow just opened its eyes.”

That night, Ji Chen obtained the forbidden legacy lost for fifty-three years: The Illustrated Manual of Martial Bones.

Others transplant monster organs and gradually lose control amid the corruption.

But Ji Chen can see the martial structures inside anomalous creatures, extract Bone Seals, and refine the Old Gods’ corruption into his own martial arts.

The throat bone of a Howler Beast, forged into a silent punch.

The shadow membrane of a Faceless Hound, shaped into a shadow-stepping technique.

The vision of a Hundred-Eyed Servant, turned into a deadly move that predicts an opponent’s actions.

While everyone else fears the corruption, Ji Chen has already tightened his grip on his corpse-pinning nail gun and entered the next forbidden zone.

But the eyeball at his side has never told him one thing:

Who is the one the Old Gods are truly watching?
