Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 248 The power of immortals is invincible; time reversal turns defeat into victory.

"The laws of heaven and earth!"

This was the first time Su Yu had been suppressed in terms of magical artifacts. He decisively activated his ultimate move, and his body expanded again, growing from a twenty-foot-tall Battle True Body to a hundred-foot-tall four-headed, eight-armed giant in the blink of an eye.

The gravity that had previously bound him was forcibly broken, and his hundred-foot-tall true form, like a god, wielded a divine axe and slashed down.

"clang!"

A deafening explosion rang out, and the falling pagoda was instantly cleaved away.

With a horizontal slash of the axe, the three-headed, six-armed figure held a tenth-tier divine sword horizontally above his head.

"Boom!"

A violent shockwave exploded out, and the three-headed, six-armed true form was forcibly slammed into the cauldron as if it were being driven into a pile.

"Take another blow from me!"

The massive, muscular arm gripped the divine axe and swung it in a circular motion before bringing it down with a devastating blow.

"Boom!!!"

The divine axe struck the mouth of the cauldron, unimaginable power erupted, a resounding tremor shook the very soul.

With 100,000 units of magical power activated, the Heaven and Earth Law amplifies magical damage tenfold, making the Divine Axe indestructible. A single axe strike unleashes over 8 million units of power, which even a tenth-tier magic weapon would find difficult to withstand.

With three consecutive axe blows, the three-headed, six-armed true form was forcefully shaken out of the cauldron.

With the seventh axe strike, the precious pearl atop his head shattered and flew away.

The eighth axe blow came down, but the secret technique blocked it, instantly breaking through.

With the ninth axe strike, all protective techniques, including the body's internal energy, were completely destroyed, and a head was severed.

The tenth axe strike cleaved the three-headed, six-armed creature in two.

But using some unknown supernatural power or secret method, the three heads and six arms that were on the verge of death were reborn.

But this is useless; lacking sufficient strength, it's just a matter of adding a couple more blows.

Five seconds later, the twelfth axe blow struck, splitting the three-headed, six-armed man in two once more, killing him completely.

Defeating the eighth opponent will reward you with 128 Wind God Power and 128 points.

A minute later, he ascended to the ninth floor of the Wind God Tower. A pillar of light shot into the sky from the tower, and endless black winds gathered at the top of the Wind God Tower to form a black wind vortex.

The many Earth Immortals who had witnessed the entire battle exchanged bewildered glances, and one of them remarked:

"I never imagined that such a small place as Blue Mountain Island could produce such a genius."

Guanxu Immortal Venerable also nodded and said:

"He cultivates both physical body and swordsmanship, and has also comprehended the sword intent. This child is extraordinary and has the potential to become a prodigy."

On the ninth floor of the Wind God Tower, the rest period was not yet over, but the last opponent had already appeared: a member of the Heavenly Eye Clan surrounded by white light and suspended in the air.

It looks very similar to a human, but has a vertical pupil on its forehead.

"Second on the overall list, you really think highly of me."

Su Yu took a deep breath, her fighting spirit burning fiercely within her.

If I can defeat this opponent, it means that my current strength is among the best of the top players of the same level.

"war!"

He didn't need to rest; he launched the challenge immediately.

The white light surrounding the Tianyan clansman suspended in the air quickly disappeared. He slowly opened his eyes, and when the last trace of white light disappeared, his vertical pupil between his brows separated, revealing a golden and red prism. Invisible ripples spread out, and a blinding white light, like a laser beam, struck.

A sharp pain, followed by angina, made Su Yu look down. A hole as thick as an arm pierced through her chest.

"Directly penetrated?"

His health only dropped by a little over 200,000, which is barely a serious injury compared to his Battle True Form's 15 million+ health. However, the added penetrating ability was not just exaggerated, but outrageous.

Shocked as he was, Su Yu quickly dismissed the thought and activated the Starry Sky Twin Swords, unleashing a spell on the flying swords. At the same time, he made a grasping motion with both hands, and a ball of innate water thunder formed and slammed down.

"Boom!"

The raging innate Gui water essence and Taiyin true water constantly exploded, froze, exploded again, froze again, and repeated endlessly.

Two sword lights weaved back and forth within the innate water mines, clashing and attacking, but to his surprise, the flying sword, with its destructive power of up to 26.8 and a swordsmanship level of +4 armor penetration, could not break through the defenses.

It clearly doesn't have a real body, but its physique is incredibly strong.

"Soul-shaking!"

An arm pulled out the Soul-Shocking Bell and shook it violently. The sound of the Soul-Shocking Bell reverberated, but the opponent remained motionless.

"The laws of heaven and earth!"

Su Yu decisively activated his ultimate move, transforming into his hundred-foot true form once again. He swung his divine axe, which simultaneously grew to several hundred meters in size, and cleaved down with all his might, unleashing a jet-black axe aura that swept across the sky.

The Heavenly Eye Man's vertical pupils lit up, and a circle of golden light composed of countless fine tadpole runes rippled outwards. The space behind his head distorted to form a huge golden halo, and an enormous, indistinct phantom appeared in the halo. Like an immortal from beyond the realm, he waved his sleeve, and the faint radiance spread out, sweeping away the erupting innate water mines.

With another flick of the finger, the surging golden light converged and transformed into a hundred-foot-long golden finger that emerged from the halo, as if it had flown in from beyond the heavens and struck the axe-like force.

"clang!"

The axe-like energy suddenly trembled, unleashing a shockwave that shattered the massive axe-like energy into pieces.

The golden jade finger pierced through the shattered axe energy and pointed directly at Su Yu. He immediately felt his heart pound and his flesh tremble, with a terrifying feeling that a great calamity was about to befall him.

"What kind of supernatural power is this? Is it really that abnormally powerful?"

Su Yu was shocked and astonished; it was utterly unbelievable.

"what?"

The Immortal Venerable of the Water Mirror let out a soft "Eh," revealing a hint of surprise.

The several Earth Immortal elders standing nearby exchanged glances, their expressions also showing surprise.

"If I'm not mistaken, this person's Heavenly Eye should be the Heavenly Eye of a true immortal of the Heavenly Eye Clan, right?"

"It looks somewhat like it."

Everyone looked at Immortal Venerable Guanxu, who nodded solemnly and said:
"You're not mistaken, that is indeed the Heavenly Eye of a Celestial Clan immortal."

"How is this possible? How can a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator possess the Celestial Eye of an Immortal? Even the most direct blood relative couldn't possibly possess it, right?"

“Normally, it’s impossible, even for the purest bloodline of the legitimate son. But what if this Heavenly Eye originally belonged to him?” “???”

"Reincarnation?"

"Yes, this person with the third eye should have been an immortal in the past. After reincarnation, he successfully regained his memories and power from his previous life. Since he is one with his true self, he can naturally bear it."

"No wonder it's so powerful."

"That kid is unlucky to have run into someone with such cheat codes. He's bound to lose."

Is there no way to win?

"Yes, but he can't do it."

"what way?"

"It's very simple, just..."

"Boom!"

A series of explosions echoed from the ninth floor of the Wind God Tower, as a gigantic, pure gold hand gripped the four heads and eight arms, pressing them against the ground and rubbing them violently.

No matter how much it struggled, it couldn't budge the giant golden hand at all. It was pressed to the ground and rolled back and forth, with the sound of bones breaking constantly ringing out. After two rounds, it turned into a grotesque mass of flesh and blood stuck to the ground.

The man with the Heavenly Eye shone with divine light in his pupils, looking down at the creature as if it were an ant, and said calmly:

"The game is over!"

With a single finger:
"die!"

The illusory figure within the halo of divine light above the Heavenly Eye Man's head also simultaneously pointed down, as if pressing down a mountain peak with a pure golden finger. The bloodied and mangled true form of the battle was shattered by indescribable power, its four heads and eight arms breaking off and flying in all directions.

"ended."

The immortals sighed softly, their tone filled with regret.

"It's a pity he couldn't last any longer."

"What do you mean?"

“Even powerful supernatural abilities cannot be used for long, let alone immortal techniques, even if they are a part of oneself. But this Heavenly Eye Man is only level 118. How could he possibly maintain the power of immortality for long? If he can hold out longer, and wait until his opponent can no longer maintain the power of immortality, he can turn the tide of battle.”

"The Sword of Time—Time Flickers!"

The last remaining consciousness of the Celestial God's head activated a powerful attack. Suddenly, the power of time appeared on the platform, and the limbs that had been scattered in all directions were quickly thrown back by the power of time, converged, and reassembled into the hundred-foot-tall true form of the Fighting God.

Forty seconds ago, he was completely unharmed.

"???"

"The law of time?"

The Earth Immortals and the Heavenly Eye Man all changed color. One was surprised that he had actually mastered the Law of Time, while the Heavenly Eye Man was somewhat flustered.

"How can this be?"

He swiftly summoned one magical artifact after another, and at the same time, his pupils opened, and a beam of white light shot out.

Su Yu instinctively tensed up, but the laser blast into her chest only caused a large chunk of flesh to explode out of the round table.

It is very powerful, even more so than a ninth-tier magic weapon, but it is vastly different from the previous ability to pierce directly through.

"It's unusable now!"

The celestial beings and deities all revealed ferocious and angry expressions. Looking up, they saw the Heavenly Eye Man unleash a Yin-Yang Dragon Scissors, which transformed into two hundred-foot-long golden dragons that pounced towards them.

"Split the sky!"

He raised the axe high and brought it down fiercely.

With a sweep of pitch-black axe energy, the two golden dragons were instantly swept away and disappeared without a trace.

"Suffer to death!"

With heavy steps, Bai Zhang Fa Tian Xiang Di strode towards Tian Yan Ren, and the situation reversed.

Before the water mirror, the immortals exchanged glances and burst into laughter:

"I never imagined that things would take such a dramatic turn for the better."

"Just as we expected, this tactic cannot last. If we can weather the storm, we will win."

"But the key is how to get through it."

An earth immortal shook his head and said:

"When the power of an immortal crushes down, even life-saving powers at the level of ordinary laws become ineffective. How many people can survive the power of an immortal like him?"

Indeed, there is still no solution.

"However, most people don't have the opportunity to confront such an existence directly."

Elder Zhang Yuanqi of Xuanyuan Palace, an Earth Immortal, changed the subject and said with a smile:

"This young man defeated the Wind God Palace, ranked second, and ascended the nine-story Wind God Tower. He is undoubtedly the first in this competition."

The Earth Immortal Elder of the Taixu Mysterious Sect stroked his beard and laughed:

"It's unbelievable that such a small place like Blue Mountain Island has such a genius. It's truly rare. Although the first place in this year's Wind God Tower Tournament was taken by an outsider, he is still a prodigy of our human race. This resource can help him, so it's not a waste."

The situation remained unchanged on the ninth floor of the Wind God Tower.

This person with the Heavenly Eye was unable to use the power of immortals, and his strength dropped drastically, falling between the seventh and eighth levels. He was then pinned down and brutally beaten.

But it held out for four or five minutes before the tenth-tier defensive magic weapon was forcibly broken through, and it was chopped in two with an axe.

"Upon reaching the ninth floor of the Wind God Tower, you have gained 256 Wind God Powers and 256 points."

"Defeat the second-ranked player on the Wind God Tower leaderboard, take their place, and receive the reward."

The space shifted, the platform rapidly collapsed and vanished, replaced by emptiness. Howling winds raged to the left and right, countless gentle breezes converging and coalescing into a figure surrounded by them. Su Yu's gaze fell upon him, and a prompt appeared:

The guardian of the Wind God's Treasury, the incarnation of the ancient Wind God's origin!

This ancient wind god's primordial avatar was not lively, seemingly having lost its original consciousness with the fall of its main body. With a wave of its sleeve, a cyan light screen appeared in front of Su Yu, displaying a list of rewards, and its voice was mechanical and stiff:

"Ranked second on the Wind God Tower's overall leaderboard, you may choose one treasure."
