Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 277 A Star That Fell From the Sky

In the sky, more than 100,000 meters above the ground, Canghai transformed into a six-kilometer-tall earth immortal, his body swaying as he revealed his true form as a four-headed, eight-armed demon god, his feet treading the void.

Atop his head is a blue cloud canopy, with his arms forming mudras at the very top. His four heads represent the true form of a demon god, the benevolent and wrathful forms on the left and right, and his true self in the back.

Although she transformed into a demon goddess, her beauty was so striking that even in her demon goddess form, her astonishing charm could not be concealed.

He held the Sea-Suppressing Pearl in one hand and the Sky-Splitting Divine Axe in the other.

He held the Primordial Chaos Cauldron in one hand and the Nine-Precept Immortal Banner in the other.

He held the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner in one hand and a purple thunder hammer in the other.

"This is... the Dharma form of an Earth Immortal?"

The four heads and eight arms of the demon god opened their pupils and uttered incantations. Countless tiny, tangible runes floated out of the demon's mouth, and the elemental energy of heaven and earth began to gather in an unusual way.

At the same time, he threw the Zhenhai Pearl he was holding down. The blue pearl fell and rapidly expanded, transforming in the blink of an eye into a bright blue sun with a diameter of one kilometer, trailing long blue flames as it fell.

With his other arm, he gripped the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe and slashed down, quickly conjuring a divine axe even larger than the Azure Ocean Dharma Image, which descended from the sky, its blade striking directly at the center of the Heavenly God City.

With a throw, the Nine-Precept Immortal Banner swiftly transformed into a ten-kilometer-high golden mountain that plummeted down, its surface illuminated by runes and ignited with golden immortal fire.

With a wave of the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner, three hundred and sixty starlight sword energies fell like a meteor shower.

The Primordial Qi Cauldron transformed into a thousand-meter-tall behemoth and slammed down, causing the purple thunder hammer to suddenly glow brightly, with billions of bolts of lightning converging at its core.

In an instant, the world turned upside down!

The azure sun was the first to fall, smashing a massive crater nearly three kilometers in diameter into the inverted light wrist above the Heavenly God City. A violent blue aura, powerful enough to instantly kill an ordinary rogue immortal, exploded and shot out more than ten kilometers away.

镇海珠基础威力10000万+3000%法伤，300万法伤是9000万伤害，水神法相威力额外加成300%，便是10000万+36000万的总爆发。

After deducting the 50% damage reduction from the city-protecting formation, the actual amount of defense power lost from the city-protecting formation was 23000 million.

The next second, a super axe blade, measured in kilometers, slashed down, triggering another extremely violent ring of energy that exploded, instantly causing the city's protective formation to lose 4100 million units of defense.

Immediately afterwards, the Nine Precepts Immortal Banner transformed into a ten-kilometer-long mountain and crashed heavily onto the inverted bowl of light.

The Primordial Qi Cauldron followed closely behind.

Next came 360 ​​starlight sword energies falling down, the combined power of the three treasures exceeding 30 million.

After the treasures were unearthed, the world suddenly darkened. Innate water thunder struck down, and endless Gui water essence and Taiyin true water directly submerged an area of ​​hundreds of kilometers, covering the entire Heavenly God City.

Players inside the city looked up and saw that the entire sky above the city was covered by boiling Gui Water elites. The cold waves caused by the innate water mines kept bursting, freezing, and bursting again, endlessly.

The fifth level of innate water mines has a power of 3000% magic damage, and it continues to explode continuously, with a power of 100% magic damage, repeating up to 40 times.

With a base spell damage of 300 million, the Water God Dharma Form provides an additional 300% bonus, resulting in a 3400% spell damage bonus. The first wave of power is 10200 million, and with the Water Dao Law multiplied by 10, it becomes 10 billion.

After deducting 50% damage reduction, the actual burst damage is 5 million.

In addition, the other three heads activated three layers of Gui Water Divine Thunder Nets, each unleashing nearly ten million bursts.

In summary, if this set is played to its full potential, the total burst damage would be 79000 million.

But this was only the first wave of the innate mine's outbreak; there would be 40 more repeated outbreaks after that.

每重100%法伤加额外300%，300万法伤*400%法伤加成=1200%，水之大道法则*10，每重爆发1.2亿。

The accumulated damage from 40 layers reached an absurd 48 billion.

However, the subsequent bursts of the innate mines cause continuous damage. Although each burst deals high damage, there is a several-second interval between each burst.

The city's defensive array has a defense capacity of 18 billion, maintained by millions of players. It recovers tens of millions of defense capacity per second, and within seconds it is enough to recover more than 100 million defense capacity.

If it were an ordinary city with relatively low defenses, this wave of attacks would have breached the city immediately.

The piercing alarm woke up the players maintaining the defensive array. When they saw the defensive power lost by the array in that instant and the continuous damage that followed, everyone's hearts sank.

The top brass of the Celestial Gods Society received the information immediately, and many of them could hardly believe it.

"Holy crap, this burst of power is outrageous!"

"Are earth immortals really that powerful?"

Tang Xingye's heart sank, but his expression remained relatively stable. His first thought was to contact an expert to intercept them, but before he could ask, those people sent him a message.

Cang Xiaoshan, the number one true disciple of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, who was hiding in the shadows, said in a deep voice:
"Brother Tang, we're withdrawing."

Tang Xingye immediately explained:

"He can't use this move often, and his cooldown period will be long. We don't need to defeat him, we just need to stop him."

"I know this kind of ultimate move must have a long cooldown, but this person's strength is clearly beyond the norm. Their regular strength must also be ridiculously strong. We are definitely no match for them. Sorry!"

He then hung up the call.

Then, a number of skilled martial artists who had come to help sent messages saying they wanted to withdraw. In just over ten seconds, hundreds of people said they wanted to withdraw, and this was just the beginning.

Half a minute later, a subordinate reported that they had also lost contact with the Earth Immortal Hidden in the Heavens.

"grass!"

In that instant, Tang Xingye felt a strong sense of powerlessness throughout his body.

Su Yu didn't even have to make a move; just one person's action was enough to crush their morale.

"I'm not reconciled!"

"I can still hold on!"

"Pass on my order: everyone hold your ground. They can't hold out for long and won't be able to break through the city's defensive formation." With his personal intervention to boost morale and promises of more rewards, he managed to stabilize the morale.

At this moment, the three floating immortal ships began to launch an attack. The water god avatar of Canghai stood in the air, constantly wielding the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe and various magical treasures to bombard the enemy.

Although the innate water mines and the Sea-Suppressing Pearl were unusable, the remaining tenth-tier magic weapon and several ninth-tier magic weapons, when used at full strength, could cause over 100 million damage per round. In addition, the three floating immortal ships and the Forty Thousand Divine Thunder Towers continuously bombarded the area, unleashing hundreds of millions of damage per round, forcefully suppressing the defensive power of the Heavenly God City's protective array.

As we all know, when the defensive power restored by the city's protective array per second cannot keep up with the destruction, it means that as long as this continues, the city will inevitably fall, it's just a matter of time.

The higher-ups of the Celestial Gods were somewhat flustered. Jiang Lang suggested in a low voice:

"If this continues, the city will surely fall. We must find a way to break this deadlock. Should we send the guild's floating warships to besiege those three floating immortal ships?"

Ishida, the commander of the Elite 1st Regiment, said in a deep voice:
“Doing this will indeed stop their firepower, but once the guild warships arrive, we won’t be able to retreat. We only have three Tier 7 Sky Strike warships, while the other side has two Sky Strike warships and one Tier 8 Sky Punishment warship. We probably can’t win a fleet battle.”

Jiang Langli proposed:

"Send our guild brothers to provide support from the sidelines, and send 500,000 troops into battle."

"This would result in heavy casualties."

"It takes a thousand days to train an army, but only one day to use it. The guild has raised them for so long, letting them swagger around and act all high and mighty for so long. It's time for them to put their skills to use."

The two argued briefly, then He Yuqing interrupted them, looking at the person at the head of the table and asking:
"President, you make the decision!"

Tang Xingye already had a plan, and waved his hand directly, saying:
"Do as Jiang Lang said. Deploy the guild fleet, then deploy 100,000 men from each main regiment, and assemble half of the independent battalion, for a total of 800,000 men to participate in the battle."

"I am now relaying the orders."

A dozen minutes later, three warships flew in from afar, and a densely packed force gathered in the city to prepare.

Gu Zhiqi immediately reported to Su Yu:

"Boss, they can't hold out any longer and have called in the fleet. They're also gathering forces in the city."

Su Yu glanced down from the bow of the boat and shook her head, saying:
"It's just a dying struggle."

"Bombard them head-on."

"Good."

A few minutes later, three Sky Strike warships circled around and flew over. Once they were within each other's firing range, the warships turned sideways, and the Thunder Towers on one side began to charge up. A few seconds later, tens of thousands of thunderbolts from both sides' six ships were unleashed simultaneously.

At this moment, the members of the Celestial God Society who had gathered in the city took to the air and rushed out of Celestial God City at their leader's command, surrounding the three warships of the Thousand Star Palace.

Numerous formations were deployed, and many Qi Refining players hid within them, each using their own methods to bombard the Sky Strike Warship on the far left.

The Five Elements Thunder Technique, Five Elements Spells, and countless flying swords and magical treasures soared into the sky. Eight hundred thousand players joined forces, their attacks capable of blotting out the sun, and the sky full of thunder and fire directly engulfed the warship.

"Report: The Sky Strike Ship's defensive capabilities have decreased by 2100 million."

"The first squadron is preparing to inject magic power."

"Second Battalion, prepare."

Meanwhile, Su Yu, who was on the Heavenly Punishment warship, also received the battle report from the Heavenly Strike warship. After taking a close look, he felt relieved.

The burst of 800,000 players is indeed impressive, but the Sky Strike Battleship has stronger defenses.

Not only does it possess a defense power of up to 300 million, but its defense strength is also as high as 6000. Many Qi Refining players do not have such high attack power and cannot break through its defense.

"However, it's not good to keep taking hits all the time."

Su Yu pondered for a moment, then said in the fleet channel:

"Order: The Heavenly Punishment Ship will dispatch 20 men, and the Flying Star Ship will dispatch 10 men to support the Heavenly Strike Ship and disrupt their siege."

The specifics of how to allocate the troops were left to Gu Zhiqi and his second brother and sister-in-law, who were in command on the Flying Star Ship.

He is the president, and is only responsible for giving overall direction.

Inside the Heavenly God City, after inspecting his own battle results, Tang Xingye immediately gave the following order:
"With the existing troops alone, it's difficult to break through the Sky Strike Warship. Order the scattered immortals who are assisting the army to take action and unleash their strongest trump card to see if they can break through."

How many people should be sent?

"I remember some left, and now there are 460 people left. They will all be transferred over."

"it is good!"

A short while later, another group flew out of the city, with several hundred scattered immortals mixed in among them.

When the 800,000 Heavenly Gods' formation launched its second attack, the 460 Loose Immortals unleashed their trump cards. Half of them revealed their Dharma bodies, either using their strongest magic treasures with powerful attacks or powerful restrictive spells. Many of them came from the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect and had established high-grade Dao foundations, revealing their powerful true bodies and eighth- or ninth-grade magic treasures.

The 460 scattered immortals acted simultaneously, and the burst of power in an instant blew the Sky Strike Ship to its core.

"This is bad. The Sky Strike Ship's defense has decreased by 14200 million, and it has entered the alert zone."

"There are several hundred rogue immortals mixed in there."

"Based on the current rate of attack and our recovery speed, the Sky Strike Ship's defenses are estimated to be breached in the fourth round."

Upon receiving the message, Su Yu immediately stood up, raised his head, and with a slight movement of his lips, he reached out and a crack appeared above him. Within the blue halo, several items surrounded by blue light fell into his hand; these were the magical treasures he had lent to Cang Hai.

The Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, the Azure Cloud Canopy, the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer, and the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner.

Then, he opened the panel and consumed 4900 billion cultivation points and 42.5 cultivation points in one go to upgrade his Dao Foundation to the fifth rank. His health increased by 50, mana by 2, physique by 2, strength by 3, spell power by 2, physical flight speed by 5000 km/h, health recovery by 1000 points/second, and mana recovery by 30 points/second.

Flying sword damage +6000, attack speed +4000, sword control speed +4000 km/h.
