Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 168 Breaking the Formation, A Terrifying Earth Immortal

I spent ten days inside Zhenhaizhu, while only one day had passed outside.

Upon exiting, Su Yu immediately opened the regional channel to check whether the two sides had engaged in combat and whether anyone had noticed the anomaly at the sect's secluded cultivation location.

After carefully browsing for almost an hour and confirming that no one had mentioned this aspect, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and transformed into a celestial ghost, stealthily heading in the predetermined direction.

With yesterday's location information, he was able to determine his location and headed straight for his destination.

They passed through many spiritual energy veins along the way, each corresponding to a cultivation site within the Blood Fiend Sect. The largest of these veins corresponded to the array eyes of the sect's main protective structure.

In fact, if the earth veins beneath the protective array could be severed, without sufficient spiritual energy to support them, the protective array would be breached in no time. Unfortunately, he did not have that ability.

Stealthily making its way to its destination, Qingyan crashed headfirst into the protective array's light barrier that stretched deep underground.

Digging a space out of the edge, Su Yu revealed his true form, pulled out the Azure Gang Sword with a backhand, exhaled lightly, activated the Great Divine Power of Space Rift, and 100,000 units of magical power surged out like a flood, burning and transforming into invisible spatial power that flowed into the Azure Gang Sword.

As he thrust his sword out, the tip drew a black line in the air that lingered for a long time.

"Crack!"

As the Azure Gang Sword pierced the light barrier, a deafening, soul-shattering sound rang in my ears. Immediately afterward, cracks exploded from the tip of the Azure Gang Sword, spreading far and wide in the blink of an eye like lightning.

If his eyes could see through the earth, he would see a huge, beautiful flower, resembling countless cracks, suddenly appear on the vast protective array's light screen.

In the blink of an eye, it extended from underground to the ground, until it covered the entire southeast corner of the Blood Fiend Sect's protective formation.

"boom!"

The flower shattered, and a huge hole instantly appeared in the protective array, with one-eighth of the inverted light wrist completely disappearing.

Players from the Blood Fiend Sect and the Blood God Guild alliance, who were fighting through the protective array's light barrier, were stunned. After a few seconds of silence, a desperate shout could be heard:

"The sect's protective formation has been broken!"

"The sect's protective formation has been broken."

One voice after another rang out, quickly spreading in all directions, and panic spread throughout the sect.

Just then, a blood-red figure appeared out of thin air in the sky. With a wave of his sleeve, an invisible force swept across the sky, and many guild and alliance players who were standing outside the light screen in this direction were shocked and all of them were smashed to pieces.

"Hurry up!"

A loud voice rang out within the sect, seemingly exerting an invisible force that calmed people down.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen figures appeared one by one, and the Blood Fiend Ancestor gave a deep order to stabilize the situation.

Outside the Blood Fiend Sect, within just a dozen seconds, almost everyone on the entire battlefield knew that the Blood Fiend Sect's protective formation had been broken.

When the high-ranking members of the guild alliance who were on duty in the rear to oversee the battle received the news, they were stunned. After realizing what had happened, their first reaction was not to gather a large force, but to repeatedly ask if it was true or not.

Once the truth was confirmed from the front lines, one of them pushed the table aside and shouted:

"Make sure everyone in each guild is ready for the big battle."

Turning to the representatives of each guild, he clasped his hands in a fist salute and shouted:

"Quickly notify your president to come over; the opportunity has arrived."

The news spread at an astonishing speed, and soon even Longtu City, a million kilometers away, knew about it. Countless people rushed over, some wanting to watch the show, others hoping to find some bargains.

But
The great war ultimately did not break out.

Because the broken protective formation of the sect has been restored.

Because Su Yu broke the protective array's barrier rather than directly destroying the array itself, the Blood Fiend Sect discovered that the array was fine when they urgently inspected the nearby array bases after the initial panic. After re-extracting the earth's energy, they erected another barrier.

At this time, the guild alliance lacked many skilled rogue cultivators, so they were unable to take the opportunity to expand their gains.

“I still lack experience.”

"Let's try a different approach tomorrow."

However, the fact that the Sky-Splitting Strike could directly break through the sect's protective array barrier with a defense of up to 9 million was truly astonishing to Su Yu himself.

The attribute description is not exaggerated at all; it is said that it can ignore all barriers and restrictions below the level of Celestial Immortal and break them directly.

Furthermore, it seems that the Blood Fiend Ancestor did not realize that the sect's protective formation had been deliberately broken, and thought that the formation had suddenly collapsed due to some problem.

After all, logically speaking, if one has the ability to destroy a large formation, one should destroy the formation base once and for all; what's the point of just destroying it?

So Su Yu carefully hid underground, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see the Blood Fiend Ancestor tracking her as she had imagined.

After waiting for a while and confirming that nothing was wrong, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to rest inside Zhenhai.

When Su Yu came out again a day later, she learned through the regional channel that the guild alliance experts had all been drawn over by yesterday's unusual activity.

Although the great formation was repaired in just a few minutes after it was destroyed, who knows if it will break down again, or if other places will be in the same situation? If such an opportunity arises again, and everyone is present, we can launch a full-scale attack and perhaps seize the chance to break in.

Su Yu confirmed from the fragments left by players in the channel that the guild alliance members were all present, and most importantly, that Sikong Xiang, the true disciple of the Blood Demon Hall, had also arrived, so she decisively decided to take action.

This time, he changed locations, moving to the opposite side of where he had made his move last time. He slowly crept to the designated spot and stopped beneath a base.

"Is there a master in charge?"

Before he even got there, he sensed several powerful auras near the array base.

They were all experts at the Loose Immortal level, one in each of the four directions. "The guards are quite strict."

Su Yu smiled slightly and, as planned, sneaked to the base of the formation.

With a gentle turn, the celestial demon created a space deep underground, large enough to accommodate a person, then transformed back into its true form and reached out its hand.
The instant he reverted to his true form, the four rogue immortals standing around the array base suddenly opened their eyes and turned to look at a mirror hanging at the edge of the array base. At this moment, the mirror surface was constantly reflecting a red light:

There are people underground!

"He's trying to destroy the array base!"

The four of them raised their hands simultaneously, channeling their surging magical power into their fists and slamming them down.

Four deafening booms echoed as an invisible force pierced through the rocks and slammed down. A sense of alarm rose in Su Yu's heart, and he reflexively raised his protective aura. The next instant, four invisible shocks swept past, and the protective aura, which had been enhanced by the Supreme Sword Technique with a 60% damage reduction, shattered on the spot. The invisible shocks blasted him backward, causing him to be violently embedded in the rock.

"How did you find this out?"

Su Yu was puzzled, but she quickly drew out the Azure Gang Sword and activated her great divine power.

"Split the sky!"

The Azure Gang Sword, imbued with the power to destroy space, slashed out, tearing apart the defensive barrier protecting the array base. The destructive power swept wildly into the array base, shattering and breaking apart the dense runes inside.

In just three seconds, he had already thrown the inside of the array base into chaos. The array runes inside were broken or severed, and one-eighth of the protective array in this direction shook violently and collapsed a few seconds later.

This time, unlike before when the barrier was simply broken, the array base that was maintaining one-eighth of the barrier was directly destroyed.

Before the base of the array is repaired, this section of the barrier can no longer be raised.

"Ah, you're asking for it!"

The four rogue immortals watched helplessly as the sect's protective formation was broken. They were both shocked and furious, and they all unleashed their magic weapons to bombard the enemy.

But at this moment, Su Yu had already sheathed his sword and transformed back into a celestial ghost, burrowing underground. The various magical treasures bombarded him, sending shards of rock flying, but they could no longer reach him. Only layers of invisible impact came from above.

"Hehe, the great formation has been broken, now we can watch the show."

Su Yu quickly descended, feeling the impact receding into the distance:
"Hopefully the guild alliance will step up their game; let's wait for them."

"boom!"

Suddenly, the earth shook violently, followed by an unimaginable force that swept through the land. The wisp of smoke that was sinking suddenly dissipated, revealing Su Yu's true form trapped in the mud.

"Holy crap, an Earth Immortal has made a move."

One strike instantly killed the transformed Heavenly Demon with 14 HP.

Without the Heavenly Demon Transformation, Su Yu was stuck in the mud and couldn't move for a while. The pressure of billions of tons of earth surged from all directions, and even though he had tens of thousands of strength, he could only move a few fingers.

"boom!"

Another unimaginable force swept over him, and he felt as if he had been hit by a battering ram. His head went black, and when he woke up, he found that his blood energy had dropped from over 900,000 to only 500,000.

Even with layers of earth reducing some of its power, the damage is still extremely terrifying.

What terrified him even more was that a divine sense, now materialized, swept across the ground like a searchlight, quickly pinpointing his location. An aged and extremely malevolent voice rang in his ears:

"You little brat, you dare to disrupt my sect's protective formation! I will throw you into the Blood Prison to be refined and killed, never to be reincarnated again."

"Shit!"

"Are earth immortals really that powerful?"

The earth shook violently, and Su Yu was shocked. Embedded deep in the ground, she could clearly feel the earth deforming and twisting, as if...
A crazy image suddenly flashed into his mind: a super-sized grappling hand digging deep into the earth for kilometers, trying to forcibly dig out the land within a radius of several kilometers.

"Damn, that's insane."

Su Yu's mind raced, and she made a decision almost instantly. She pressed her hand to her chest and committed suicide by severing her heart meridian.

Suddenly everything went black, and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again and saw the unfamiliar town in front of him, he laughed wildly.

Fortunately, the law of death has a very high priority, and the Earth Immortal is not strong enough to bypass the laws of Heaven and take away his soul after death.

With a thought, he opened the panel to check the log, which showed that he had committed suicide, losing 5 years of his lifespan, as well as a few miscellaneous items.

"It's not a big problem."

He may not have much else, but he has a long lifespan.

Not to mention that his current lifespan limit is still 295 years, just the fact that he possesses the divine power of shifting stars and changing constellations means that he is destined not to have a short lifespan.

After closing the panel, Su Yu opened the map to check her current location and found that she was in a small town less than 10,000 miles away from the Blood Fiend Sect, in the territory of some unknown guild.

He opened the regional channel and saw that there weren't many people on the town's regional channel, but they were mostly talking about the guild alliance besieging the Blood Fiend Sect from thousands of miles away. He received some exciting news from them: the guild alliance had already launched a general offensive against the Blood Fiend Sect ahead of schedule.

Although the guild alliance is not yet ready, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Repairing a damaged base is no easy task, and the guild alliance will certainly seize this opportunity to take action.

If they give up this opportunity and wait for the formation to be repaired, even if they come back prepared in the future, they will not be entirely confident that they can break through the sect's protective formation.
