Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 259 A Gathering of Experts, Showcasing Strength

They traveled leisurely, at a leisurely pace.

Seven hours later, when they met up with them, they could see countless red tides rushing forward and disappearing into endless flames and thunder in the distance.

Su Yu recalled the women and flew over alone. He saw a large flying ship parked in the void, with hundreds of human experts leaning against it, frantically annihilating the ever-flowing red tide.

Their location appeared to be on the path of a red tide, with a large number of horned demon spirits and monster spirits mixed together, including many bosses. In the deepest part, an extremely large figure could be vaguely seen, which was probably a super boss.

Su Yu approached and greeted Chu Tao from a distance:
"I have arrived."

Chu Tao waved him over, casually adding him to the group, and said loudly:

"There's a level 235 super boss in this red tide. Let's work harder to clear out the mobs."

"This is easy."

Su Yu casually took out the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer and blasted a spirit with a bolt of purple lightning, then raised the hammer to charge up his ultimate move.

A thick bolt of lightning shot into the sky and exploded several miles above the ground, where thunderclouds began to gather, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.

Thunder Strike: Use the Purple Thunder Hammer to communicate with heaven and earth, charge for 60 seconds, and then summon a bolt of purple thunder from the heavens to strike all enemies within a 50-kilometer radius. Mana cost: 50000 points. Cooldown: 2 hours.

This move has not been used by Su Yu since he obtained the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer, and its specific power remains unclear.

Now I know.

One minute later, the thunderclouds accumulated to their maximum extent, and the next second, the thunderclouds, covering a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, suddenly exploded, turning into billions of purple lightning bolts that crashed down.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, the entire world seemed to freeze for a moment. Endless purple lightning filled the entire world, turning it into a thunderous inferno. The Crimson Tide Essence within it was like a candle flickering in the wind under the thunder of the heavens, ready to be extinguished with a single breath.

In just three seconds, the thunder that filled the entire world dissipated, along with the crimson tide essence that filled the entire world.

The previously crowded world instantly became empty, with only a few spirits of level over 100 surviving the thunderous blow.

The hundreds of human experts on the flying boat were all stunned for a moment, then looked over and gave him a thumbs-up in praise:

"Brother, that's impressive, that was a really powerful move."

Su Yu casually swung his hammer and struck with lightning, killing a weakened spirit beast. He laughed and said:
"It's possible, but the cooldown time is too long, otherwise it would be awesome."

Some people with outgoing personalities display exaggerated expressions:

"If such a powerful ultimate move had a short cooldown, that would be incredible; it would have to be a divine treasure."

"I hope to have the opportunity to be promoted to a Celestial Treasure in the future."

"There is a chance. Super BOSSes at level 200 and above have a chance to drop eighth and ninth-tier spirits, and super BOSSes at level 300 will definitely drop tenth-tier spirits. If you can get a tenth-tier spirit, you can upgrade to a tenth-tier awakened weapon spirit. In the future, prepare a large amount of law power and heavenly power to upgrade the weapon spirit and the origin of the magic weapon, and then you will have a chance to transform into a celestial treasure."

Hearing this, Su Yu's heart stirred, and she asked curiously:

"Is there any spirit that transcends the tenth rank and can directly upgrade a tenth-rank magic weapon to an eleventh-rank immortal treasure?"

"It really does."

"But you can forget about it, there's no chance of getting it."

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and she immediately leaned over and asked:

"Brother, please explain in detail."

Apart from the thirty-odd people who came before them, the rest of these more than one hundred human experts had come from the heart of the human territory after receiving news of the red tide that had occurred in the territory of the Horned Demons.

Far more than just them arrived; more than half of the human rogue immortals, as well as rogue immortal experts from the other two races of the Falling Star Islands, all came to participate in this grand feast that only happens once every ten or twenty years.

Correspondingly, when red tides break out among humans and other races, the Horned Demons will also travel thousands of miles to come.

Taking advantage of loopholes, wreaking havoc, and seizing opportunities to use the power of the Red Tide to destroy cities, eliminate experts, and destroy the potential of hostile civilizations are all common practices and are tacitly accepted by the four races.

The only rule is that experts above the Earth Immortal level are not allowed to go there. This level of destructive power is too great and could easily cause the war to get out of control, leading to a full-scale war between the two races.

It might be fine elsewhere, but the Falling Star Islands have four races, and if a full-scale war breaks out between the two races, it will only benefit the other races.

“Normally, the highest level of essence is only tenth grade, all of which are dropped by the first-level immortal Crimson Tide essence. However, if you can find the many sources of the Crimson Tide and enter them, and refine the entire source, you can refine an essence that surpasses the tenth grade, which can upgrade a tenth-grade magic weapon to an immortal treasure.”

"But that's impossible."

Su Yu was surprised:

"Why is it impossible to do?"

"First of all, you can't find the source of the red tide. Red tides break out too suddenly, without any warning. Unless you're extremely lucky, the source will be right next to you."

"Furthermore, even if you are incredibly lucky enough to discover the source of the red tide, it's not a good thing."

"Countless Crimson Tide Essences slumber at the source of the Crimson Tide, including hundreds of Earth Immortal-level and Immortal-level super BOSSes. Without sufficient strength, let alone refining them, it would be difficult to even escape alive."

"I see."

"That's all for now, the BOSS is here."

After a thorough slaughter, they had cleared out most of the spirits. The level 235 super boss at the rear had already charged in. At this moment, the team's temporary leader, Yu Chengyun, shouted loudly:
"I have a level 10 defensive magic weapon to tank the damage, while the others deal damage. The highest bidder wins the loot, and the proceeds from the auction will be distributed according to their contributions."

"no problem!"

Yu Chengyun is the leader of this temporary team, and Chu Tao is one of the five squad leaders. There is only one way to become the leader of a temporary team like this: the ability to command respect.

Yu Chengyun achieved this not only because his level was as high as 178, but also because he was one of the contestants on the Human Civilization Peerless Ranking, ranking 22nd.

Besides him, there are two other contestants on the popularity charts in this team of 117 people, and they are ranked quite high.

After everyone assigned their tasks, Yu Chengyun revealed his true form, which was tens of feet tall. He summoned a radiant azure pearl and suspended it above his head, with strands of blue light cascading down like a waterfall. The BOSS launched a powerful grab attack directly at him, but he remained unmoved. Then, he brought his arms together, and surging flames converged to form a thousand-foot-long fire blade that slashed down head-on.

"Dual-Pole Yang Fire Blade!"

The BOSS is a human. Some unlucky human immortal appeared in the territory of the Horned Demons, manifesting an immortal form nearly a thousand feet tall, and grabbed the thousand-foot-long fire blade with a giant hand.

"burst!"

The fire knife exploded, bursting into flames.

Without needing to give an order, hundreds of scattered immortals around them acted simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of various forbidden spells.

"Midday cold wave ban!"

"Golden Blade Blazing Flame Forbidden!"

"Three Yangs Qian Tian Ding Fire Net!"

"Heavenly Thunder Refines Demonic Divine Qi!"

"Great Sun God Fire Forbidden."

"Earthly Fiend Yin Fiend True Fire Forbidden!"

"Hundred-Eyed Divine Light!"

In an instant, hundreds of forbidden spells were unleashed, including common Five Elements forbidden spells as well as other rare and powerful forbidden spells. All of them were powerful enough to break through the defenses of Loose Immortals and above, and even the Earth Immortal Dharma Form was forced to stop.

After a wave of spell bans, everyone used conventional methods, activating their magical artifacts to launch an attack from all directions.

Su Yu transformed into a four-headed, eight-armed form, wielding two swords in each hand, the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer in one hand and the Dust-Dispelling Banner in the other. The four heads continuously unleashed Five Elements Thunder Techniques and Five Elements Forbidden Techniques, bombarding from afar. The attack of one person was comparable to that of two or three people.

A wandering immortal who was not far from him couldn't help but praise him:

"Your true form is quite impressive!"

"I succeeded by sheer luck."

Most of the Dharma bodies formed by the Foundation Establishment stage of Loose Immortals are the same as human bodies, with one head and two arms, except that the Dharma bodies have the characteristic of rapid spell casting, which is extremely fast.

A body that can develop two heads and four arms is considered a high-quality Dharma body, generally a superior Dao foundation.

Three heads and six arms are even rarer, and only those with a first-grade Dao foundation and an unparalleled mental cultivation method can possibly achieve it. Three heads and six arms are also the limit of a normal Dharma body. Someone like Su Yu with four heads and eight arms can only achieve a similar true body after transcending tribulation if they have already cultivated such true body supernatural powers.

After Yu Chengyun unleashed a forbidden spell, he charged forward wielding a divine pestle of at least the ninth grade, immediately attracting the BOSS's attention. The thousand-foot-tall Earth Immortal Dharma Body swung its enormous fist down, causing the defensive power of the precious pearl to fluctuate wildly, but it remained motionless above the BOSS's head.

Enduring the BOSS's devastating attacks, Yu Chengyun unleashed a golden beam of light, which exploded in mid-air, transforming into a golden dragon over ten kilometers long that flew down and coiled around the BOSS. He shouted loudly:
"The Dragon Binding Rope can bind for twenty-five seconds. If you have a powerful skill, use it to try and reduce the enemy's health as much as possible."

"Roger that!"

The cultivators immediately unleashed their most powerful and secret techniques.

Su Yu was no exception. She reached out and summoned the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, throwing it into the air. It quickly transformed into a giant sun with a diameter of nearly one kilometer, surrounded by endless blue flames, and plummeted straight down.

"Shit!"

The moment Zhenhai Pearl appeared, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

"A celestial treasure?"

A deep blue meteor fell, and the super boss, bound by the Dragon-Binding Rope, was unable to dodge and had to take the hit head-on.

"Boom!"

An unimaginable, violent impact exploded, and the enormous terrestrial immortal's dharma form was forcefully crushed by the great sun. Upon touching its body, it rapidly disintegrated into powder until half of its head, one arm, and one shoulder were completely shattered.

The divine weapon's attack instantly reduced the BOSS's health by more than a third, while a portion of its body shattered, breaking its defenses.

Subsequent attacks landed on the shattered part of the body, all causing full damage.

"Concentrate your firepower immediately."

The scattered immortals snapped out of their shock and seized the opportunity to unleash their full power.

With a flick of his wrist, Su Yu swung the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe and leaped onto the BOSS. His axe strike pierced deep into the flesh and blood of the wound, unleashing a terrifying and astonishing damage. The next second, the innate water mine exploded, and the entire Earth Immortal Dharma Form was instantly submerged by the cold wave.

"Boom!"

The true water of the moon kept bursting and freezing, continuously.

"Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe!"

"Nine Heavens Thunder Strike!"

The other arms wielded swords and slashed down with hundreds of sword energies. At the same time, the four heads condensed a net of Gui Water Divine Thunder, and four hundred Gui Water Divine Thunder exploded. In an instant, the near-saturation burst instantly killed the BOSS.

"Is this the end?"

In less than half a minute, a super BOSS of over level 200 was killed instantly. It was the first time anyone had encountered this, and everyone felt a strong sense of unreality.

Yu Chengyun put away his spoils and flew to Su Yu, asking with a smile:
"You were the one who conquered Yanbo City before!"

Su Yu nodded:

"lucky!"

"Shit!"

Everyone looked shocked.
