Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 203 Protection by Flames, A Marvelous Scene

The innate water mine explodes into a cold tide, then recombines into more mines and explodes again, thus endlessly cycling through life.

The fire spirit stood motionless within the fire shield, casually launching a fireball and reaching out to grab at the sky, causing a cloud of fire to gather and countless fire rains to fall.

"boom!"

The fireball imbued with the power of laws ignored any attempts to dodge and directly shattered Su Yu's reconstituted protective aura. The flames that had not yet been extinguished on his body erupted again. The damage of tens of thousands of points per second, ignoring his defense, was nothing compared to the excruciating burning that pierced his very soul, causing him unbearable pain.

"This thing is outrageous."

Fortunately, he had enough health and vitality, nearly a million HP, enough to burn for a long time and kill this thing.

"boom!"

After withstanding more than a dozen waves of cold air, the fire shield finally gave way and shattered.

"It's now."

He decisively pulled Ao Run out and threw him away. The true dragon roared and rapidly expanded, transforming into a true dragon coiled on his head. Countless fire rains fell down, and the dragon scales on his body quickly scorched and turned black. His health dropped by more than 100,000 per second.

"Wow, it's so hot! Where am I?"

"Mysterious Court Immortal Finger!"

Taking advantage of the target's fire shield breaking and being trapped by the cold wave, Su Yu immediately launched a fatal attack.

A jade-like finger, over ten meters long, pressed into the cold tide, then with both hands, it gathered two sword energies and swung them down, encircling the fire spirit and exchanging blows.

At the same time, he waved his hands repeatedly, unleashing streams of sword energy that exploded before the sword net could even take shape.

At this moment, Ao Run, who had already reacted, opened his mouth and spewed out a Meridian Cold Tide, which combined with the cold tide of the Innate Water Mine, freezing the Flame Spirit. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a ninth-order dragon ball that crashed down like a meteor.

With multiple measures employed, and without the protection of a fire shield imbued with the power of laws, this fire spirit could only rely on its own vital energy to withstand the attack.

The fierce clash of hundreds of sword energies alone depleted half of the Flame Spirit's health. Then, with the addition of two waves of cold air and the continuous swirl of sword energy, the final fatal blow came from Ao Run spitting out the dragon pearl that crashed down.

This thing is a ninth-tier magic weapon. A single strike can unleash a burst of up to 500,000, directly shattering the heavily injured fire spirit into pieces.

"Holy crap, they finally killed him."

Su Yu exhaled a long breath, and with a swirling of sword energy, she collected the spoils of war, then quickly retrieved the purple and green twin swords that had just been defeated.

Although this thing was only level 121 and had just over a million HP, it was one of the most outrageous opponents Su Yu had ever seen, and he barely managed to defeat it using all his methods.

If this thing can still provide a fire shield, he'd probably have to transform into a dragon to take it down.

After collecting his spoils, Su Yu immediately withdrew from the spatial rift. The fire spirits that had been summoned by the large-scale spells earlier did not continue to chase him after he left the rift, but instead lingered at the rift entrance, watching him intently.

"It was too tragic."

Su Yu checked himself and found that he was completely empty-handed, with only three pieces of seventh-tier equipment remaining: the Golden Feather Robe, the Immortal Spirit Stone, and the Golden Turtle Ring. All other equipment below the seventh tier had been burned by the Law Fire.

"Damn it, I'm going to lose it if this doesn't turn out to be good."

Opening the orb revealed only one piece of loot: an eighth-tier piece of equipment.

Flame Protection (Tier 8): An accessory, a rare item, containing a trace of the power of law—the essence of a fire spirit.

Attribute: Fire Resistance +20000.

Attribute: Protection of the Law of Fire. When activated, grants immunity to fire damage from beings below the Celestial level, and reduces fire damage from Celestial level 1 beings by 50%. Lasts for 30 seconds, with a 24-hour cooldown.

"nice one."

Although it's not the Law Fragment he wanted most, an eighth-tier rare equipment is still pretty good. With 20,000 fire resistance, he can basically be immune to fire spells below level 100. Once he activates the attached spell, fire-type bosses below the Celestial Immortal level can't hurt him at all, making him almost invincible under certain circumstances.

Su Yu immediately equipped the jewelry.

It just so happens that both of my previous accessories, the Demon Blood Stone and the Black Water Pearl, were destroyed, leaving my accessory inventory empty.

Then he took out the Azure Cloud Canopy and the Azure Gang Purple Thunder Twin Swords that had been broken before, and reforged them.

Once he had recovered, he plunged back into the spatial rift.

This time, he dared not stand naked in the air and take the hit head-on like before. Instead, he kept moving his body. The attacks of ordinary fire spirits could not keep up with his speed. Only the attacks of law monsters could. Once he was hit again, he would immediately activate the Azure Cloud Canopy to protect himself.

Unfortunately, there are too few Law Monsters. There's already one in one place, so it's practically impossible for another one to appear.

After spending a whole day wiping out the fire spirits at the entrance of the spatial rift, Su Yu left without looking back and went to another place.

Inside, there are countless fire spirits, and even the boss inside can't do anything to them because of the fire-protected ornaments.

However, Su Yu left because the interior of this rift world was too unstable and prone to collapse. If he went too deep, he wouldn't have time to escape if something really happened.

His main focus now is on finding monsters that embody the laws of cultivation and accumulating experience, not exploring the battlefield, so there's no need to take that risk.

After leaving that place, he moved on to another location.

After killing them, they moved on to another location, never venturing deep into the crevice.

"Huh?" "There are still remnants in this crack?"

Above the sea of ​​lava, there is a huge platform floating on the lava, with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. Its edges are broken and there are collapsed pavilions and terraces everywhere.

But all these buildings have lost their spiritual essence and radiance; it is clear at a glance that they are worthless.

Moreover, this platform is located near this spatial rift, and anyone passing by can see it. If there were any treasures, they would have already been looted by others.

Su Yu didn't get close; she just watched from a distance for a while before leaving.

Half an hour later, he discovered a giant floating island with a diameter of over two thousand kilometers, with a faint glow visible on its back.

Su Yu immediately became interested and quickly moved over, bypassing the floating island to the other side. After the world reversed, she saw that there were already people on the island. A large flying boat was hovering in the air, and there were more than a dozen people on the boat working together to kill the twisted monsters that were entrenched on the island, as well as thunder eagles that kept casting lightning from the sky.

Su Yu's gaze was immediately drawn to the pillar of lightning erupting from the top of a giant peak in the center of the island; such an unusual phenomenon clearly indicated that something good was coming.

"Someone!"

The people on the ship also spotted Su Yu immediately, who was not hiding, and became alert. However, they relaxed slightly after seeing that he was also human, but did not completely let their guard down.

Su Yu glanced at the ship and saw that there were 14 people in total: three were rogue immortals, and the rest were all experts with more than ninety levels of Qi Refining Technique.

He didn't want to compete with them, so he waved his hand and said:
"Just passing by, goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"he's gone."

The group breathed a sigh of relief as they watched him leave, but the leader of the scattered immortals in the middle looked at one of them and said:
"Better safe than sorry. We can't trust any of our own people here. Xiao Bin, go check on him and make sure he's gone before you come back."

"it is good."

Su Yu's powerful senses quickly spotted the figure following behind him. He smiled and sped away.

Before long, the floating island disappeared from sight. After defeating several more groups of twisted monsters, they crossed a deep abyss and saw a towering pillar of fire and wind stretching to the sky.

The pillar of flame was more than ten kilometers in diameter, sinking into the abyss with no bottom in sight and rising to an endless height. All around it were streams of blazing white flames encircling the pillar, interspersed with countless twisted and grotesque figures.

There are many spatial rifts around this wind pillar, three of which are particularly huge, each more than ten kilometers long and four or five hundred meters high, and each contains different things.

One is a typical lava world, filled with countless fire sprites.

One is a world half water and half fire, filled with steam. The steam is so thick that you can't see inside, but occasionally you can see huge figures appearing and disappearing in the steam.

One was a world of endless yellow sand, inhabited by many strange beasts and monsters, many of which Su Yu was seeing for the first time.

Su Yu glanced around and then looked at the towering tornado pillar in the center. Usually, such wonders of nature contain rare and precious materials or natural treasures.

He glanced around briefly, then concealed his presence and silently flew towards the central tornado column.

The space here is chaotic and extremely unstable. There are spatial cracks of varying sizes everywhere in the void. When you touch those tiny spatial cracks from time to time during flight, your protective aura will suddenly shake and ripple.

"What a messy place."

In just over ten kilometers, they crashed into thirty or forty small spatial cracks in succession, a frequency that made Su Yu frown.

It's also because his protective aura is strong enough now; if a normal loose immortal were to crash into him like that, the protective aura would have broken long ago.

Fortunately, there was no rush. We flew for a while, then stopped, and after almost half an hour, we finally arrived not far from the tornado pillar of fire. We could already see the blazing flames spinning rapidly in the void.

However, his gaze quickly shifted from the blazing flames to what was below.

At the base of this enormous column of flames, which is of unknown height, is a giant vortex of fire. Below the vortex is a huge, broken void from which the vortex of fire and the giant tornado column spew forth.

The so-called broken void is an enlarged version of a spatial crack, except that it is not a long and narrow crack, but a circular void.

"There must be something good inside this broken void."

Logically speaking, all the opportunities on the edge of this ancient battlefield should have been explored by adventurers of several races long ago, so there shouldn't be such a wonder of nature.

He can only see one possibility now: this broken void is recent.

Could it be that we're incredibly lucky?

Su Yu smacked her lips and looked up at the blazing flames that were moving back and forth above the pillar of flames.

Each of these things is thirty to fifty meters in diameter, some are several hundred meters long and some are over a thousand meters long, and the temperature is extremely high. You can clearly feel the intense heat even before you get close, so it is obviously not an ordinary fire.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, judging from its flight trajectory, this thing did not seem to be an inanimate object. His powerful six senses vaguely perceived that there seemed to be something inside it.

It's unclear whether it's a living creature or a fiery spirit.

He guessed that it was more likely to be a fire spirit.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Yu summoned the Azure Gang and Purple Thunder swords, but just as he was about to activate them, he suddenly remembered something and put them away again. He took the two swords out of the flying sword rack and replaced them with the Thunder and Mighty Swords, which he then launched.

Two sword lights plunged into the nearest stream of blazing flames, but before they could do anything, they felt their flying swords were damaged and quickly withdrew them.
