Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 209 Taking Stock of the Loot, the Rare Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer
Within the realm, after annihilating three rogue immortals, the Crimson Dragon immediately forgot about them, raised its head, and gazed into the distance.

A true dragon of level two hundred or so can ignore the limitations of this realm. In its eyes, the world is clear and bright. It can see tens of thousands of miles away at a glance. It can also clearly see the blazing spiritual fire that fills this world, the monsters that resemble evil dragon fire beasts, as well as the two remnants of demon immortals sealed in this world and the scattered essence blood of demon immortals.

In addition, there are five human immortals.

Two of them were approaching the remains of a demon immortal, while three were besieging a level 180 fire spirit law monster.

Furthermore, the chains of law on the two sealed remains of the demon immortals were located deep below the realm, but they were not bound to anything as one might imagine. In the True Dragon's vision, the chains of law extended downwards for thousands of kilometers before disappearing directly into the void.

This means that what suppresses and seals the remnants of the demon immortal is not some grand formation or treasure as imagined, but rather the suppression directly within this world.

"There are still 5 minutes and 21 seconds left. What can we do to maximize our profits in this remaining time?"

Su Yu's mind raced, and she quickly made a decision:

"Slay the Law Monsters and collect Law Fragments and Demon Immortal Essence Blood."

Logically, the greatest benefit should be from trading with demons and immortals, but unfortunately, the demons and immortals' original consciousness has been erased, making communication impossible.

Or perhaps they could kill the remnants of a demon immortal, but they couldn't defeat him.

The remaining two methods that maximize value are naturally collecting fragments of the laws.

Even if not every monster drops this item, getting just a few is a huge profit.

Having made his decision, the Crimson Dragon merged back into the void and used fire magic to travel quickly, soon arriving before a fire spirit wandering aimlessly.

There aren't many spirits born in this realm, but they are all of very high level, at least level 180 or above. Surprisingly, I didn't see any law-based monsters above level 200.

The Crimson Dragon appeared and attacked, pinning down the Flame Sprite and beating it mercilessly. It took more than twenty seconds to break through three waves of fire shields and finally kill the target.

Drops a Tier 7 exquisite magic item, the Fire Gourd, containing a Flame Essence, which can summon up to 108 level 110 elite Flame Spirits.

Then, with a flick of its tail, it disappeared, and more than thirty seconds later, it appeared before another three-headed fire roc with a level 192 peerless template more than a thousand kilometers away.

It took some effort and more than a minute to forcibly kill it, successfully extracting a fragment of law containing a power of law.

Then, it moved horizontally for several thousand kilometers, passing several law monsters of around level 180, and arrived in front of a nine-headed fire dragon with a level 199 peerless template.

There's not enough time, so kill the big ones first; the chance of getting law fragments is higher.

Moreover, he discovered that the state of this nine-headed fire dragon, which was level 199, seemed to be different from the other law monsters. Although the other law monsters were wandering around unconsciously, they were all consciously avoiding the remains of the demon immortal and kept their distance, never approaching the shock wave range of the remains of the demon immortal.

But this fire dragon was different. It was currently on the edge of the shockwave from one of the remnants of a demon immortal, seemingly trying to get close to the remnant but struggling.

Half of the nine heads had a fanatical look in their eyes, wanting to get closer, while the other half had a face full of struggle, resistance, and fear.

Based on the situation in this realm, Su Yu almost instantly guessed why there were no law monsters above level 200 in this realm. Unsurprisingly, they were devoured by the remnants of the demon immortal after reaching level 200.

"This realm is specifically used to seal demon immortals. When the true body of a demon immortal is torn apart and sealed separately, there will inevitably be remnants of the body and consciousness scattered into the void, giving rise to various law monsters."

"When these law monsters grow to a certain level, that is, above level 200, the hidden demon immortal will will awaken, control themselves and merge with their true bodies, and slowly strengthen the consciousness of their true bodies."

"Well"

Su Yu looked at the distant remains of the demon immortal with extreme surprise, her heart filled with astonishment:

"If that's the case, it means that this demon immortal's original consciousness has not been completely eliminated, and it is not completely dead. It is just in a deep sleep, or in a state of being half dead and half alive, which is why it did not react to my approach."

"If we can find a way to awaken its true self, perhaps we can communicate and trade with the demon immortals?"

"but."

How can we get closer and communicate with them?

The remnant of that demon immortal now only possesses instinct; getting too close will result in being attacked.

Su Yu didn't think too much about it; she could consider this later. Right now, she just needed to take care of this big guy while she still had the time.

At this point, there are only 2 minutes and 35 seconds left in the Dragon Transformation skill. There is no need to consider whether there is any time left, so just activate the ultimate skill.

"The stars shift and the constellations change; Heaven has unleashed its killing intent!"

As dawn broke and the stars appeared, the power of the Heavenly Dao descended, forcibly suppressing the nine-headed fire dragon to the point of immobility.

The crimson dragon's pupils opened, its two dragon eyes burning as fiercely as two great suns, yet devoid of any warmth, as cold and ruthless as the Way of Heaven itself.

"Shifting stars and changing constellations!"

As soon as the incantation was uttered, the heavens and earth fell silent. The nine-headed fire dragon's body twisted violently, unleashing a terrifying 1500 million damage.

The Crimson Dragon shuddered violently, suffering a backlash from the power of Heaven, and its dragon transformation duration was reduced by 2 minutes, leaving it with 27 seconds.

"enough!"

The crimson dragon's jaws burned, its whiskers swung, and its claws rose. Starlight and the remaining power of the Heavenly Dao converged on the dragon's claws, forming a layer of crystalline light that enveloped them, which was then gently pressed onto the top of the nine-headed fire dragon's head.

"boom!"

Another terrifying 1500 million damage was dealt, and the nine-headed fire dragon trembled violently and shattered into pieces.

The Crimson Dragon was once again backfired by the power of Heaven's Dao. An invisible force swept across its body, and in the next second, it shattered like exquisite porcelain. Reverting to its true form, Su Yu immediately reached out and retrieved the remaining spoils of the Nine-Headed Fire Dragon. He opened them immediately, his face beaming with joy.

There was only one piece of spoils inside, a fragment of law containing three strands of Heavenly Dao power.

With the two he had accumulated before, he now wields the power of five laws.

"But it's not enough."

Although it's unclear how much power of laws is needed to forcibly elevate a sect-level Qi Refining technique to the Supreme level, it's certain that it's more than five.

However, having exhausted all their means, they are temporarily unable to eliminate the Law Monster.

"Let's leave here for now and come back next month."

Su Yu wasn't stubborn; he had thought it through clearly. This realm couldn't be kept secret any longer, and it would probably become a battleground between the human race and the horned demon race before long. Soon, a large number of experts from both races would come to explore it.

He hasn't even transcended the tribulation yet, so his regular combat strength is equivalent to that of an ordinary rogue immortal. He relies on powerful moves like Dragon Transformation and Sky Splitting to launch a one-shot attack.

Now that all our powerful moves have been used up, we could easily be defeated if we encounter two more powerful horned demons.

First, digest what you've already gained, and then use this month to accumulate more cultivation and upgrade your other Taoist techniques as well.

For example, the Hundred-Eyed Divine Light, the Mustard Seed Concealment Technique and the Invisibility Technique, and the Five Elements True Scripture—if these can be mastered, they can play a very important role.

In particular, the Fire Escape technique from the Five Elements Manual is a perfect match for this world, working like a fish in water.

Su Yu wasn't worried about the opportunities within the realm being snatched away; that was impossible. Once the news spread and experts from both the human and horned demon races gathered, the two races would fight for a long time just to claim ownership of this realm.

Not to mention the Fire Clan and the Six-Eared Clan won't stand idly by; they'll definitely cause trouble too.

The struggle for ownership of this realm could take months or even years to determine a winner, giving him ample time to reap the benefits within.

Forget about the remnants of a demon immortal; that's too high-level and troublesome. Let those top experts fight over it.

He would go in once a month, kill some law monsters to get some law fragments, or collect blazing spirit fire, and that would be enough.

Having made her decision, Su Yu left immediately.

Return to find the broken void in this realm, crawl out from there, ascend, and fly out from the towering pillar of fire.

There were two teams outside, one was Huo Lixing's team, and the other came later.

He didn't meet with them; after coming out, he simply vanished into thin air.

Two days later, Su Yu left the ancient battlefield and appeared in Longwan City, the closest city to it.

The reason for not going to Skyfire City is that Skyfire City does not have a branch of the military, while Dragon Bay City is located in the northwest corner of the South Island. To the north is the ancient battlefield, and to the east is the East Island occupied by the Horned Demons. It is a border city and has a branch of the military.

Upon arriving in Longwan City, Su Yu immediately contacted the military headquarters and reported the situation in this area and within it.

The military has this task, and any important discovery reported will be rewarded with merit or even a small one, depending on the importance of the intelligence.

Su Yu figured that since everyone would know about this place anyway, she might as well make some more money.

From the location of the boundary to the rules within the boundary, from the blazing spiritual light to the remains of demon immortals and the many law monsters derived from demon immortals, Su Yu reported everything to the military.
"We need to verify the authenticity and accuracy of the intelligence before deciding on the reward, and we will give a response within a week at the latest."

Su Yu nodded:

"no problem."

After leaving the military branch, Su Yu rented a temporary cave and had a good night's sleep. She only took stock of her spoils the next day.

The power of the five laws.

One drop of fairy blood essence.

889 blazing spiritual flames.

A seventh-tier exquisite magic weapon, the Fire Essence Gourd.

And the spoils of war from the three horned demon immortals, which we haven't fought yet.

He casually opened the trophy orb, took out the contents, and his eyes lit up.

"A big shipment has been shipped!"
