Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 205 The Sword Severes the Dharma Body, the Unwilling Horned Demon Immortal
Although their cultivation levels were significantly different, Su Yu's speed far surpassed that of her opponent. She used her Qi to fly, pulling her two-headed, four-armed Dharma Body around one of the large spatial rifts, like flying a kite.

The Dharma Body's numerous magical treasures and flying swords were able to reach Su Yu, bombarding her relentlessly and fiercely. In particular, the Thunder Hammer's lightning bolts caused exaggerated damage.

However, although the Purple Lightning Hammer was powerful, it was still not enough to keep him.

The only threats to him were powerful moves, either supernatural abilities or strong restrictive spells, all of which required casting time. Su Yu didn't give his opponent a chance to unleash their ultimate moves at all; as soon as he saw them charging up and preparing to unleash their ultimate moves, he would hide behind the spatial rift.

At the same time, he used the spatial rift to block the opponent's bombardment while continuously condensing sword energy and dispersing it into the void.

Each time it circles around, it throws in hundreds of sword energies, and each time it circles around again, it throws in hundreds more sword energies.

The Loose Immortal's Dharma Body lasts for one hour with a one-day cooldown, but Su Yu didn't wait an hour. In just seven or eight minutes, he had condensed seven thousand sword energies and set up a sword array. He then guided his Dharma Body into the center of the sword array and stopped. Amidst the Loose Immortal's confusion, he revealed a sinister smile, raised the Wind God Token, and activated it:
"Certainly!"

The power of the Wind God descended, freezing the Dharma Body in place. Then, he reached out and grasped, activating the sword formation, and softly uttered:
"rise!"

The next second, seven thousand sword energies appeared in the void, quickly forming an array.

"kill!"

The sword formation trembled, and seven thousand reincarnation sword energies erupted simultaneously, maximizing the output.

In an instant, unimaginable power erupted, directly knocking away the magical artifact hanging above the Dharma body's head, and the protective energy appeared and disappeared in an instant.

The Dharma Body snorted coldly, threw the flying swords and magical treasures in his hands with his four arms, and then brought his four arms together. A huge Xuanwu phantom appeared above his head to protect him, and the seven thousand sword energies were shattered but could not break through.

The enormous face of the Dharma body revealed a ferocious expression:
"This is the Xuanwu Body Protection Divine Power, its defensive power is enough to withstand several attacks from an Earth Immortal. Let's see how you, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, break through it."

Su Yu frowned slightly, reached out and grabbed the Azure Gang Sword, then slashed down fiercely:

"Great Divine Power, Sky Rift!"

The spatial sword energy flashed and disappeared in an instant, and the Xuanwu phantom suddenly swayed and collapsed inch by inch in the incredible power of the Dharma body.

"How can this be?"

"Reincarnation!"

What devastated him even more was that the seven thousand sword energies that had just dissipated actually reformed and regrouped.

This time, the Dharma Body had no other means of defense and could only watch helplessly as seven thousand sword energies swirled around it and descended. Its millions of health points and tens of thousands of defenses were as fragile as tofu under the sword energies imbued with spatial power, and were cut to pieces in the blink of an eye.

The Horned Demon Immortal has fallen!

He reached out and grabbed the spoils, then curled his lip. All nine pieces of loot were junk; not a single flying sword or magical artifact he was equipped with had dropped.

In addition, there are 200 merit points.

A normal Loose Immortal receives 100 merit points, but this Horned Demon Loose Immortal has condensed a high-grade Dao Foundation, making him an elite among Horned Demons, so his merit points are doubled.

After defeating his opponent, Su Yu continued to collect Blazing Aura.

On the distant Eastern Island, in the city of the Horned Demons, at the resurrection point, a beam of spiritual light converges, within which a figure slowly coalesces and takes shape.

A faint spiritual light materialized into a human form, none other than the Horned Demon Immortal who had been killed by Su Yu. He stepped out of the resurrection point, his face grim and silent for a long time. He then opened his guild channel and sent messages to several friends in the guild:
"I discovered a newly born wonder of nature south of the ancient battlefield, spewing forth from a newly emerged shattered realm. I suspect it contains the remains of immortals."

Someone responded immediately, but their tone was questioning:

"true and false?"

Then someone else asked in surprise:

"Why don't you, Kirick, explore this good thing yourself?"

"With top human geniuses there, I lost."

"A contestant on the popularity chart?"

"No."

The other two horned demons looked surprised:
"Don't tell me you're a top expert on the human ranking list. If you do, don't call me. Even if we all gang up on that kind of monster, we still can't beat him."

Corner. Chirik was silent for a moment, then said with some humiliation:

"He is a Qi Refining cultivator who has not yet established his Dao Foundation."

"???"

The other two asked, somewhat incredulously:

"You were killed by a Qi Refining cultivator who was a whole level above you?"

"We were ambushed?"

"Or does he possess a tenth-tier supreme treasure?"

"neither."

"A direct assault?"

Horned Kirik fell silent again, not asking anything in the channel. But after a few minutes, a streak of light descended, and a very handsome horned demon emerged from it. Upon seeing him, he grinned and said:

"Are you kidding me? You actually got killed by a Qi Refining cultivator."

Kirk said expressionlessly:
"To be precise, I failed to ambush him and was killed instead."

Corner Nek's mouth gaped open, his jaw nearly dislocated in shock.

"real or fake?"

"so smart?"

"Are you sure it wasn't just your carelessness?"

Chirik glanced at him, and Nek raised his hand to explain:
"Don't misunderstand, I'm just too shocked, this is unbelievable," Kirick said in a deep voice.
"This guy is definitely a super genius among humans, a super genius with the potential to compete for the Peerless and Heavenly Pride Rankings."

Then another streak of light descended, revealing another horned demon immortal. Nek calmly recounted what had just been said to him, and the newcomer was equally astonished.

"Kill him!"

The new horned demon was called Horned Borden. He had a fiery temper, and he raised his hand and said loudly:
“Such a super genius who has the opportunity to compete for the Peerless and Heavenly Pride Rankings will definitely be a threat to our clan once he grows up. We must suppress him vigorously before he grows up.”

Nek immediately nodded and said:

"If we can kill a super genius like this, we will not only be rewarded with a lot of merit, but we may also be rewarded with great merit. We can't miss this opportunity."

"That's what I meant."

Kirk said in a deep voice:
"If the three of us work together and make thorough preparations, we will definitely be able to kill him."

"But it's not enough."

After a moment's thought, Nek said in a deep voice:
"This kind of super genius must be a first-level true disciple of a major sect on the human side, and he must have life-saving items on him. We need to prepare, otherwise we will lose out if we fail to kill him and are killed instead."

"I'm going to the guild to borrow an item."

"I'm going to buy a few disposable props."

“I went back to my sect to ask my master for a Nine Heavens Capital Seal Talisman to suppress it.”

"Meet here in ten hours."

"it is good."

The three horned demon immortals prepared separately, while Su Yu continued to collect the Blazing Spirit Fire. No one disturbed him, and he collected over a hundred flames in a short time.

However, this towering pillar of fire was too conspicuous; it could be seen from hundreds of kilometers away.

He collected the data for about two more hours when suddenly a flying boat approached.

Su Yu immediately noticed that the flying boat looked familiar upon closer inspection; it was the same group of people she had seen before, a total of 14 people, including 3 loose immortals.

They also saw Su Yu collecting the Blazing Spirit Fire. Presumably because he hadn't disturbed them earlier, the flying boat didn't approach as a gesture of goodwill. Instead, one of the rogue immortals flew over and called out from afar:

"My name is Huo Lixing. Greetings, sir!"

Su Yu returned the greeting with clasped hands:
"Su Yu".

Huo Lixing said in a deep voice:
"There are unspoken rules in the ancient battlefield: generally, whoever discovers a spiritual object first gets to keep it, but such a massive natural wonder is an exception, and anyone can compete for it."

Su Yu nodded and said:
“I know, you can go in at any time. I will collect the blazing spiritual light outside first to refine the treasure.”

Huo Lixing glanced at the hundreds of blazing spiritual lights in the sky and a smile appeared on his face:
"You go first, sir. These blazing auras are yours; we won't take them."

Su Yu was overjoyed and cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
"Thank you very much."

"By the way, you'd better explore it sooner rather than later. A horned demon also discovered this wonder of nature, but I killed him. After he revives, he will definitely spread the news, and I estimate that horned demons will come over soon."

Huo Lixing's expression turned serious, and he clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying:
"Thank you for the reminder, brother."

After finishing their conversation, they returned to the flying boat and discussed the matter briefly with their companions. The fourteen people split into two groups, with five remaining on the flying boat and the remaining nine, including two wandering immortals, forming a team to fly towards the Heavenly Fire Pillar and plunge into it.

However, only a dozen seconds later, the nine people returned, most of them retreating back to the flying boat, while the three loose immortals had disappeared.

Su Yu glanced at it only and continued to collect the blazing spiritual light.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. No one knows what lies beneath this wondrous landscape or how dangerous it may be. He hasn't even established his Dao foundation yet, and he's all alone. Going down there is too risky. It's better to put away the blazing spiritual light outside first and secure a safety net.

With no one interfering, he sped up.

The eleven people first stopped at a distance, and after a while, bored, they urged their flying boat to take off and went to a spatial rift to level up.

Both sides do their own thing and don't interfere with each other, which is quite harmonious.

But this harmony didn't last long. About three hours later, someone saw the towering pillar of fire flying over from afar again.

This time there were only two rogue immortals, both of whom were human.

Su Yu didn't wait for them to strike up a conversation before saying:
"I know the rules. You can come in if you want, but don't disturb me as I collect these blazing spiritual lights."

The two glanced at the remaining hundred or so blazing flames, shrugged, cupped their hands in greeting, and plunged headlong into the towering pillar of fire.

An hour later, Su Yu finally put away the last ray of blazing spiritual light, and the final count was 853.

"Not bad!"

This many are enough to forge an extremely powerful eighth-tier magic weapon.

After collecting all the blazing spiritual light, the area around the towering fire pillar was empty. Su Yu pondered for a moment, took out the jade gourd and drank a sip of moonlight dew, gaining a buff that suppressed fire poison and inner demons for two hours. Then, he summoned the Azure Cloud Canopy and rushed into the fire pillar.

Upon entering, he could feel the intense heat and a powerful, twisting force binding him and pulling him deeper into the towering pillar of fire.

He immediately checked the Azure Cloud Canopy, which was losing 4520 defense points per second.

It's important to know that the Azure Cloud Canopy has 3000 defense strength and 50% damage reduction.

This means that the environmental damage caused by the high temperature inside the Heavenly Fire Pillar is 12040 per second, which is extremely exaggerated.

No wonder Huo Lixing's team had so many people enter first, and then all the non-loose immortals withdrew. They were simply too weak to stay inside for long, and going in would only be a burden.

The 4520 defense reduction per second is not a big problem for Su Yu. He currently has over 100,000 mana, and his maximum mana injection per second is one percent of his own mana, which is 1000. The mana conversion rate of the Azure Cloud Canopy is 300, so 1000 mana is 300,000.

In other words, if he wanted to, he could maximize the defensive power of the Azure Cloud Canopy in a second.
