Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 206 Shattered Realm: Evil Dragon Fire Beast
The towering pillar of fire is filled with pure high temperature, and its powerful attraction pulls people in.

Su Yuqiang steadied himself and slowly flew towards the center. In less than half a minute, he suddenly felt a familiar aura rushing towards him. He immediately became alert and then saw a familiar blazing spiritual fire crash into the Azure Cloud Canopy and bounce off.

He subconsciously reached out and grabbed the Minor Heavens Cloud Restriction Technique, refining it in one swift motion.

"That's 854."

There should be a lot of blazing flames inside, and those surrounded by towering pillars of fire are basically people who escaped from inside.

However, he couldn't see anything inside, so he couldn't see where the blazing spirit fires were and could only try his luck to find them.

As it rapidly descended, it collected the blazing spiritual light it encountered along the way. The defensive power of its protective Azure Cloud Canopy visibly decreased at an increasing rate, gradually rising from 12,000 to 13,000, 15,000, 18,000, until it reached 20,000 at the bottom.

Subtracting 3000 from 20000 and then halving it again, the result is 8500 per second, which is still within his tolerance range.

The Azure Cloud Canopy has a mana conversion rate of 300 points. It only requires 28 points of mana to fully restore 8500 mana. Moreover, its mana recovery rate is 110 per second, and its basic mana regeneration alone can maintain a defense loss of 33000.

After descending for an unknown amount of time, Su Yu suddenly felt a lightness throughout her body, a sudden increase in temperature that nearly doubled, and a change in the rules of heaven and earth. With this realization, she had already crossed the broken void beneath the flame vortex at the base of the towering fire pillar and entered another realm from which the towering fire pillar was spewing forth.

"The environmental damage has reached 36000, which is outrageous."

A transparent, blazing white light filled the eye, everything was distorted. This was pure, terrifying flames that twisted space and filled the entire world like seawater.

But to his surprise, he was able to see things here, though not very far away, at most only about two or three kilometers.

In this bright white and transparent world, one could see the blazing flames and spiritual light moving like serpents in the liquid gas that resembled a vast ocean. Occasionally, one could see layers of tangible ripples spreading out in this direction from afar. When the ripples swept over Su Yu, he immediately felt his breath catch in his throat and his heart pound with fear.

"Don't get close."

Without even seeing it with his own eyes, Su Yu was 100% certain that the owner of this aura was definitely a super BOSS of level 200 or higher.

After a moment of contemplation, he swam toward the other side where the ripples were spreading.

Four hours after Su Yu entered this shattered realm, three horned demon immortals arrived. They circled the towering pillar of fire and only found a small human team far behind, failing to locate their target. The leader, Horned Kiric, decisively pointed to the towering pillar of fire and said:

"He must have gone inside. Let's go over there too."

"Walk."

The three horned demon immortals plunged into it without hesitation.

As the three disappeared, the humans on the distant airship exchanged bewildered glances, some showing worry:

"The captain and the others are still inside. We need to find a way to notify the captain."

"There's nothing we can do. The captain has already entered another realm, and we can't contact him via voice transmission or the team channel."

"Then go in and inform the captain."

"We'll just go in to give the notification and then come out. It'll only take a few minutes at most. Our airship can handle it."

"Then let's go."

The group decisively propelled their flying boat toward the Tower of Fire. However, instead of charging straight in, they flew down along the edge of the tower until they reached the vortex of flames at its base and plunged inside.

This vortex of flames was located at the entrance of the shattered void; the spaceship entered another realm in less than a minute.

"No, the underlying laws of this world are incomplete, the space is unstable, and the interference is too great. We can't even communicate with the team via voice transmission."

"Then let's use the regional channel."

"alright."

"Please note that three Horned Demon Immortals have entered this realm."

"Please note that three Horned Demon Immortals have entered this realm."

Three reminders scrolled through the regional channel of this shattered realm. Su Yu, who was exploring at the bottom, quickly noticed them and his first reaction was that the horned demon immortal he had killed earlier had brought people here.

However, he wasn't too worried. The area below was so vast, and the environmental pressure was so intense, that even a rogue immortal's perception range wouldn't be that far. It would be difficult for just three people to find him.

Even if we find it, we're not afraid. If all else fails, we can transform into a dragon and kill it.

The space within this shattered realm was extremely vast. Su Yu wandered around aimlessly, collecting strands of blazing spiritual fire as she went.

The more of this stuff, the better. If you really can't find any other opportunities in the end, the Blazing Spirit Fire you've collected is still worthwhile.

"Crack!"

After wandering aimlessly for almost an hour, Su Yu suddenly heard a strange sound ahead, like a gnawing sound.

This was extremely rare in this world, and he immediately flew towards the direction from which the sound came.

A few minutes later, a huge golden crystal appeared suspended in the void ahead. This thing was teardrop-shaped, two or three kilometers long, with irregular, pitted edges, and hung quietly in this world of flames that resembled a sea.

The sound came from a long, elongated monster coiled on the surface of the water droplet crystal. It looked like a combination of a crocodile and a snake, with a crocodile-like head, a single horn, and a snake-like body. It was crimson red and covered with many crystalline fleshy growths that looked like scales. It resembled a real dragon, but it was not a real dragon.

This thing is at least four kilometers long. It has four claws that hug the water droplet crystal, and it is opening its big mouth full of fangs and gnawing at it. It is scattering golden stars all over the crystal, but they do not melt. It looks like golden stars falling into the starry sky.

Without even asking, one can tell at a glance that this teardrop-shaped golden crystal must be something good, perhaps a rare and precious treasure from this realm.

However, to his surprise, he couldn't see the properties of the golden crystal and didn't know what it was.

This dragon-like monster is clearly a Law-based monster, its true name being the Evil Dragon Fire Beast. Evil Dragon Fire Beast (Peerless): Level 187, a monstrous beast born from the power of twisted laws and the power of death.

Attributes: 1480 million HP, 15 MP, 520 million Attack Power, 6000 km/h Speed: Fire-type spells (Fire-type laws), Bing Fire Divine Thunder (Fire-type laws), Fire Escape (Fire-type laws), Earth Extreme Yin Sha True Fire Restriction (Mysterious, Fire-type laws), Application of Fire-type laws.

"Goodness, that attack power is too fierce."

Although it is a law-based monster like the fire spirit from before, this one is much stronger than the fire spirit. Without a powerful move, it would be impossible to kill it in a short time.

If you can't kill it in a short time, you'll die on your own, no exceptions, unless you transform into a dragon.

But he felt it wasn't worth using this powerful move, which could only be used once a month, here.

After all, this realm hasn't been fully explored yet, and nobody knows if they'll encounter something even better later. If they use it up now, they'll be left helpless when they find something even better.

But he couldn't bear to leave just like that. His powerful sixth sense gave him a subtle hint that this golden crystal was definitely a top-tier treasure.

"Does it mean I still have to transform into a dragon?"

"But it would be too much of a waste to just focus on the dragon transformation."

Su Yu pinched her chin, undecided for a moment.

"wrong."

"I seem to be able to kill."

After hesitating for more than ten seconds, Su Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered the eighth-tier accessory Flame Protection that dropped when she killed the previous Law Monster. The Flame Law Protection spell could make her immune to fire damage below the level of Celestial Immortal. Celestial Immortal level 1 would receive a 50% damage reduction for 30 seconds.

"The level of the laws associated with this thing is definitely not at the Celestial Immortal level, but it makes you invincible for 30 seconds after activation."

"During this period, I went all out and had the opportunity to kill him."

Su Yu quickly assessed her current methods.

"The power of innate water mines will be greatly reduced in this realm full of fire, and they will be basically useless. We can only rely on swordsmanship."

"Let's start by gathering 7000 sword energies here to set up the Samsara Sword Formation."

"Then, use the Hundred-Eyed Divine Light to break through the defense and immobilize the opponent. If the opponent cannot be immobilized, immediately use the Wind God's Decree, then activate the Thunder Aura and Thunder Control Divine Power attached to Azure Gang and Purple Lightning, increasing the damage by 100%. Then, combine the two swords and unleash the attack together with the sword formation."

"The power of a single sword aura is 40% of one's maximum attack. My current sword attack power is 32800, and 40% is 13120."

"Uh"

After careful consideration, Su Yu cancelled the plan to set up the Samsara Sword Formation.

After careful consideration, he realized that although the sword energy damage was good, it didn't seem to be very useful.

The BOSS's level is too high and its physique is extremely strong; it seems that the sword energy damage cannot break through its defense.

If it were a normal BOSS, there wouldn't be this problem. The problem is that the Law Monster has the power of the law, which can exempt it from all armor penetration. Without armor penetration, how can the sword aura with an attack of 13,000 break through its defense?
A level 187 BOSS must have a physique of over 30,000. Its combined dual sword attack can break through the BOSS's defense, but its sword aura definitely cannot.

Don't expect the Sky-Splitting Immortal Bone to break through defenses; the spatial laws of the Immortal Bone only target physical attacks, namely attacks from the flying sword itself.

Strictly speaking, sword energy is a mixture of physical and magical elements. It does not benefit from the armor-piercing bonus of flying swords, but only from the bonuses of sword skill level and Gengjin sword aura, which possess the sharpness attribute of sword energy.

Therefore, you shouldn't expect to grind down the BOSS with a massive amount of sword energy. It's very powerful for PvP and clearing mobs or mini-BOSSes.

It's also worth mentioning that flying swords and swordsmanship levels have armor-piercing properties, and bosses also have ways to counter armor-piercing.

The most common approach is to stack constitution; generally, 10000 points of constitution automatically grants 1 point of armor penetration and armor penetration resistance.

If the BOSS has 30000 points of physique, that's 3 points of resistance, which is equivalent to being able to ignore 3 points of armor penetration or armor penetration.

In addition, although there is no limit to the armor-piercing resistance granted by physical constitution, theoretically, if you have 100 million physique points, you will have 100 points of armor-piercing resistance. However, this resistance is only for defense, and at most it can negate the enemy's armor-piercing attack.

For example, if an enemy has 10 points of armor penetration, having 10 points of armor penetration resistance or 100 points of armor penetration resistance is the same; you will not receive any additional damage reduction.

In summary, the only method he can use is to combine his two swords. Given his current cultivation level and swordsmanship, he can probably maintain this for about seventeen or eighteen seconds.

“单飞剑32800的基础攻击，开启飞剑附带法术+100%，单飞剑65600的攻击力，双剑合壁那就是13万再*2=26万。”

"Let's estimate that the BOSS has 3 physique points and outputs 230. Ten swords per second would deal 23 million damage, and ten seconds would be a burst of 2300 million damage."

But this is just a theoretical explosion; the fire shield of any law monster imbued with the power of law is ridiculously strong.

Fire Shield is just the most basic fire spell, with a very short cooldown of only a few seconds.

With this boss's health, surviving until the second fire shield shouldn't be a problem at all.

"what?"

"That's not right."

"Although sword energy can't harm the BOSS's main body, it can break the fire shield, which doesn't have that high defensive strength."

"I almost misunderstood."
