Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 122 City Destroyed, Escape
The Azure Boat stood out among the many flying boats. Before it even stopped, Qi Dongyang brought his wife and daughter to let them board.

"Brother Su, thank you for your trouble."

"If possible, just send them to Flying Star Island."

Seeing that he didn't seem inclined to come up, Su Yu asked:

"What about you?"

Qi Dongyang smiled wryly:

"I have to go with my brothers."

Judging from his expression, you could tell that he himself lacked confidence and had entrusted his wife and daughter to someone else to take away.

Seeing his resolute expression, Su Yu didn't try to persuade him further, and clasped her hands in a fist salute, saying:

"Take care of yourself!"

"Take care of yourself!"

The Azure Boat soared into the air and plunged into the crimson tide, diving into the densely packed crimson tide monsters.

Less than five seconds after they left, the nameless ancient demon standing above the sea of ​​blood outside the city made its move.

With a raised hand, the crimson tide of blood energy gathered within a radius of tens of kilometers, transforming into a gigantic blood hand, two or three kilometers in diameter, that blotted out the sky and slammed down.

"boom!"

An unimaginable force exploded, shattering the solid city walls and crushing the Divine Thunder Tower. All the buildings within the city were reduced to rubble. The terrifying force pressed down, instantly killing tens of thousands of players who hadn't had time to escape.

As the demonic hand rose, the crimson tide power surged across the sky, and in a short time, the essence of tens of thousands of players joined the crimson tide army.

"Outrageous!"

With just one strike, the city, which had held out for almost two days, collapsed.

Fortunately, they ran fast, and the blow did not affect them.

There were quite a few players who escaped as well, estimated to be twenty or thirty thousand. However, without supplies, these people probably wouldn't last long in the Red Tide, and ninety-nine percent of them would die and return.

Don't try to stick together. In the Red Tide, the more you stick together, the more spirits you will attract. Only elite teams have the highest survival rate.

Bi Chenzhou flew through the dense swarm of spirits, which attracted the surrounding spirits like moths drawn to a flame. Almost every second, it would collide with the approaching spirits, causing Bi Chenzhou's defenses to continuously weaken.

They didn't fight back at first; their only thought was to escape.

Only when they were dozens of kilometers away from the nameless ancient demon did Su Yu and Luo Qingchan dare to unleash their flying swords to fight back.

Leng Xijun and her daughter Qi Xiaoqi did not just sit there; they also used their magic weapons to resist the surging crimson tide spirits.

They were flying west, heading towards Flying Star Island, the safest place in the Red Tide.

Outside the main island, there are many powerful guilds on some large islands. Many of them have survived dozens of red tides, but this red tide broke out particularly fiercely, and a super BOSS appeared on the second day.

If all the super bosses in the Red Tide appear, even large guilds may not be safe.

Su Yu has been staying on Rage Tide Island for the past two days. During her breaks, she checks the regional channels and finds that almost all the players are talking about the Red Tide. She has become quite familiar with the situation of the Red Tide.

In the red tide of the Flying Star Islands, there are a total of thirteen super bosses with a level of over two hundred. These super bosses are either super bosses that were swallowed up in previous red tides, or they are lower level but have risen up after experiencing countless red tide outbreaks and devouring a large number of living beings.

However, not all super bosses will appear most of the time. In the Red Tide that usually occurs every two or three years, only three to five super bosses will appear.

Scattered across the Feixing Islands, spanning millions of kilometers from north to south and sweeping across millions of kilometers from west to east, they are extremely difficult to encounter.

To be honest, the Rage Tide Guild was incredibly lucky to encounter the Nameless Ancient Demon this time. Normally, it would be almost impossible for a small guild like this to run into a super boss.

In the case of a raging red tide that takes five years to accumulate and then erupts, most of the super bosses will appear, and the risks will increase dramatically.

They fought their way through almost by force, encountering an endless stream of monsters in the Red Tide that could be sensed from afar and surrounded.

After entering the sea, the monsters that appear are mostly the spirits of various sea creatures, hanging in the red tide like fish, taking turns crashing.

Fortunately, the Azure Boat had high enough defense to withstand the onslaught and advance, and it failed to break through any number of monsters it encountered.

Time passed, and nearly twenty hours later, they had traveled 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers and appeared over a large island on the map called Pearl Island.

At this time, the island had also been submerged by the red tide, and the island was filled with the spirits of the red tide.

As they passed the island, they saw countless Crimson Tide Spirits converging towards its center. When the Azure Ark reached the island's center, they saw a pillar of light shooting into the sky, illuminating the surrounding area. Below were rolling mountains, and between two giant peaks stood a massive city. Within the city, Divine Thunder Towers stood in abundance, and a vast number of players had gathered. A gigantic, inverted bowl of light enveloped the city, surrounded by countless Crimson Tide monsters.

As the Azure Ark passed over the city, two beams of blood-red light rose from among the densely packed Crimson Tide Spirits, sweeping across the Azure Ark like searchlights, and a chilling malice swept over it.

Su Yu felt a chill run down her spine, and glanced at the fleeting glimpse of the beauty out of the corner of her eye.

Wang Yuanqi (Peerless): Leader, Level 189, Demonic Cultivator's Essence.

Attributes: Health 128, Mana 115, Attack 85000, Speed ​​4500 km/h, Spells: Supreme Cave God Five Stars and Constellations Sun and Moon Mixed Demon Scripture, Thirty-Six Paths of Demon Transformation Great Method, Demon Transformation Hundred Transformations Great Method, All Heavens Secret Demon Soul Slaying Great Method, Supreme Demon Transformation and God Slaughtering Forbidden Method.

Attribute: Realm Suppression (Loose Immortal)
Magical artifacts: Five Directions Demon Wheel (Tier 8), Crimson Cloud Mysterious Yin Barrier (Tier 8)

"Goodness, another top-tier boss."

"Moreover, it is the essence of a player after death."

The name clearly indicates the spirit left behind after a player's death. It's unknown which unlucky guy this demonic immortal named Wang Yuanqi is. His spirit, left behind after dying in the Red Tide, has survived countless Red Tide eruptions and has gradually increased in strength to its current level. If he were eleven levels lower, he would almost become a super BOSS of over two hundred levels.

Yes, this Wang Yuanqi is definitely a rogue immortal, because his attributes have the suffix "[Realm Suppression (Rogue Immortal)]".

This suffix only appears after successfully passing the first Great Heavenly Tribulation and advancing to the Loose Immortal realm. Su Yu has seen so many level 100+ BOSSes in the Other Shore, but he has never seen any BOSS with this suffix.

The reason for this is that most monsters and bosses above level 100 are level 100 or higher when they spawn, rather than leveling up gradually from a few dozen levels.

They start at level 100 and don't need to go through a tribulation to become a loose immortal like players and native human cultivators before breaking through level 100.

The attribute of Realm Suppression is very simple: it reduces damage from opponents whose realm is lower than your own by 50%.

For example, Chu Xinyue had recently passed the Heavenly Tribulation and advanced to the Loose Immortal realm. If Su Yu were to fight her at this time, all damage would first be reduced by 50% due to the realm suppression before damage reduction and defense would be calculated.

In addition, the Dao foundation condensed by a Loose Immortal can greatly increase attributes, and various Dao techniques will undergo a qualitative change after exceeding level 100. All things considered, Loose Immortals have absolute suppression power over those of lower realms.

This is why, even though Su Yu possesses several high-level magic treasures, powerful Taoist magic, and abnormal attributes—his 90,000 mana is definitely higher than that of a newly promoted Loose Immortal—he has the courage to challenge a level 100 BOSS, but he doesn't dare to challenge a Loose Immortal casually.

In addition, the effect of (Earth Immortal) in realm suppression is similar to that of Loose Immortal, the only difference being that the suppression power is stronger.

Earth Immortals have a 50% damage reduction and suppression effect on Loose Immortals, Loose Immortals have a 50% damage reduction and suppression effect on Ordinary Cultivators, while Earth Immortals, being two major realms higher than Ordinary Cultivators, will have a 50% 50% suppression effect, or 75%.

Therefore, if Su Yu wants to deal with this top-tier BOSS, she needs to reduce the damage by 50%. If she wants to deal with the nameless ancient demon that killed the Rage Tide Gang earlier, she needs to reduce the damage by 75% first and then calculate damage reduction resistance, etc., which is extremely absurd.

It's worth mentioning that although level 100 and above bosses cannot undergo tribulation, they still possess the various bonuses and realm suppression that come with tribulation.

However, the BOSS's level is what it is. Level 100 corresponds to a Loose Immortal, so a level 100 BOSS is not affected by the 50% damage reduction due to the Loose Immortal's realm. But if it attacks an Earth Immortal of level 200 or above, it will be reduced by 50% in the same way as a Loose Immortal attacking an Earth Immortal.

The BOSS, named Wang Yuanqi, clearly possessed a certain level of intelligence. As the Azure Boat passed through the air, he could see the BOSS mobilizing the surrounding spirits to besiege the city.

Seeing the flying ship overhead, a large number of spirits instinctively wanted to chase after it, but the BOSS let out a long roar and forcibly restrained the Crimson Tide spirits from continuing their siege of the city.

They didn't stop, but flew directly over the city to the other side of the island.

Not long after crossing the island, they discovered another small port on the other side, which was either a branch of a large guild or the headquarters of a small guild.

However, this small city has been breached by the Red Tide Spirits. The Divine Thunder Tower has collapsed, the buildings are in ruins, and the city is deserted.

The Azure Boat passed the ruins and plunged into the sea once more.

It is worth mentioning that the Red Tide of the Angry Sea starts from the west of Feixing Island, stretches for millions of kilometers from south to north, and is more than 100,000 kilometers wide. Like a tide, it slowly sweeps across from west to east, and it takes about three days to pass through each place.

They flew eastward, and even with the endless stream of red tide monsters blocking their way, they were still faster than the red tide itself.

Therefore, theoretically, the further they go, the lower the level of the monsters in the Red Tide will be. If they can go faster, they might even be able to rush out of the Red Tide in one go.

However, the red tide affects the entire Flying Star Islands sea area. Even if they break through the red tide and head to Flying Star Island, they will still have to face the red tide again, and they will have to go through the three days from the beginning to the peak all over again.

"That's good. Having strength is not a crisis for Red Tide, but an opportunity."

As the core of this sea area, Flying Star Island gathers tens of millions of players, and with the surrounding active players, the number definitely exceeds one hundred million. There is also a large sect there, which will surely attract a large number of BOSSes. At that time...
Thinking of this, Su Yu couldn't help but laugh.

More than three hours later, they passed by another island and found traces of players on the same island. The two cities on the east and west sides of the island were the headquarters of two guilds, and they are still persisting.

Bi Chenzhou circled high above one of the cities and found that the city's defenses were extremely strong. Not only had they firmly blocked the Crimson Tide, but they had also been able to send elite experts out of the city to frantically annihilate the surrounding Crimson Tide spirits.

Of course, it's also because there aren't any powerful bosses nearby. If there were top-tier bosses of level 170 or 180 or higher nearby, they probably wouldn't dare to do this.
