Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 290: Victory in Battle, Ranking Eleventh on the Peerless List
With a wave of his sleeve, Jiang Muyun unleashed a burst of five-colored light that shot into the sky, forming a five-colored ring behind his head, within which a luminous figure flickered in and out.

"Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Ray!"

Countless beams of colorful light shot out from the ring, crashing down like a torrential downpour.

Su Yu naturally did not dodge. Without even activating the Azure Cloud Canopy, he swung the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe like a meteor to meet the oncoming Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Ray.

The Fighting True Body swayed slightly, and countless Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Rays shattered. Instantly, a dense barrage of damage erupted from his body, each only amounting to about two or three hundred, totaling just over a hundred thousand.

"A drop in the ocean!"

"What a strong physique!"

Jiang Muyun felt a chill run down her spine, quite alarmed.

This Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Ray is not only extremely powerful, but also possesses incredible penetrating power. Even a super BOSS of level 200 or higher cannot withstand its penetrating power, and it can cause almost full burst damage.

However, the effect here is reduced by at least 75%, barely enough to break through the defense.

"Try this trick again."

He reached out and grasped, condensing thousands of Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Rays into one, transforming them into a thick, colorful beam of light that crashed down like lightning.

The next instant, the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe slashed down, and the two incomparably powerful forces collided head-on. The Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Beam was directly split in two, falling to the ground on the left and right. Instantly, the sky and earth shook, and countless fragments of stone were sent flying by the violent shockwave.

The enormous true form flashed behind Jiang Muyun, slashing fiercely with the divine axe, its six giant arms swinging in succession, and a barrage of fists raining down like a storm.

"Bang bang bang!!"

Jiang Muyun unleashed her protective five-colored cloud ring, remaining unmoved despite the countless fists that pounded down upon her, but the five colors of the ring faded at a visible speed.

"What a terrible attack!"

Jiang Muyun reached out and grabbed, and the five-colored divine light merged into a giant sword that could support the sky and swept across.

"Do whatever you want!"

The Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe met the attack head-on, and with a loud clang, the five-colored divine sword shattered into pieces.

"burst!"

The five-colored divine light exploded, engulfing the true form of the warrior. When Su Yu broke through the chaos, he saw Jiang Muyun already thousands of meters away in the sky, creating distance between them. The five-colored halo behind his head had expanded a hundredfold, and the light and shadow inside had materialized. Jiang Muyun looked down at him from above, expressionless, without joy or sorrow, and said calmly:

"Your strength is indeed very powerful. Even a supreme forbidden technique could not break through your defenses. I acknowledge your strength."

"However, the game is over. Next is one of my strongest methods. With this power, the power of all forbidden magic and divine abilities will increase tenfold. Let's see how you resist."

After he finished speaking and pointed his finger, Su Yu instantly felt a chill run down her spine:
"Damn, doesn't this look just like that 'Heavenly Eye Man' we saw in the Wind God Tower who could wield the power of immortals?"

Su Yu felt a growing sense of unease and became fully prepared.

As Jiang Muyun pointed down, the figure within the halo behind him also pointed down, unleashing a familiar Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light.

Su Yu instinctively raised his axe and held it horizontally in front of him. A flash of Extinction Divine Light appeared, and with a loud 'clang,' a tremendous force, ten times greater than before, slammed into his Fighting True Body, causing it to move back seven or eight meters in mid-air.

"Hmm, very strong!"

"But it's not the power of an immortal!"

Su Yu felt relieved. As long as it wasn't the power of an immortal, there was no problem; there was truly no way to resist that.

"So, this is your strongest move? If that's all, you're no match for me."

Jiang Muyun raised an eyebrow, a hint of anger flashing across her face, and said in a low voice:

"How arrogant! Let's talk about survival first!"

Its true form, with its massive arm embracing, rapidly expanded its terrifying pressure, startling the surrounding spectators into distancing themselves once again.

"It's starting to look like something now."

Su Yu looked up at the thousands of Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Lights that were rapidly coalescing and smiled slightly. A thought flashed through her mind:
"The laws of heaven and earth!"

In an instant, an incomparably powerful force rose from Su Yu's body, as if a volcano had erupted within him. His body rapidly expanded, growing dozens of times larger in the blink of an eye, transforming into a four-headed, eight-armed demon god standing between heaven and earth, towering two hundred feet tall.

A thousand beams of five-colored divine light descended from the sky like a meteor shower, fiercely striking the true form of the four-headed, eight-armed demon god.

Previously, a single divine light that could have sent the Battle True Body flying seven or eight meters away struck the Demon God True Body head-on. However, when faced with the tenfold attribute of the Law of Heaven and Earth, just like the initial explosion of countless divine lights, the Demon God True Body remained completely unmoved.

Occasionally, a fish that slips through the net will fall from the sky and crash into the earth, causing the ground to sink and mountains to collapse, directly altering the terrain.

"There are no tricks, it's all about numbers!"

With only a simple and unadorned physique and strength, he directly confronted the supreme forbidden technique—the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Ray—whose power was amplified more than tenfold.

"How can this be?"

Jiang Muyun was clearly surprised that even his strongest attack couldn't defeat Su Yu. Somewhat disbelieving, he once again activated the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light to form a world-shaking divine sword and slashed down. What met the divine sword was the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, whose magical power had been increased tenfold.

In fact, Su Yu could dodge such attacks and had enough power and speed to strike first and leave Jiang Muyun with no chance to fight back. After all, the opponent was clearly going for a pure magic build and had no close combat ability.

However, since it is a challenge, one must convince the opponent, face Jiang Muyun's strongest move head-on, and then defeat him.

After connecting with Jiang Muyun's two powerful attacks, Su Yu charged forward again and unleashed a brutal beating.

The barrage of fists and the chaotic hacking of the divine axe were all blocked by the protective divine light, which was ten times stronger than the original defense.

Jiang Muyun unleashed a series of various Daoist techniques and forbidden spells, but he broke through them all with his own strength. "This move won't work; I'll have to rely on external force."

With a flash of divine light, Jiang Muyun disappeared. When he reappeared, he was more than ten kilometers away. He reached out and grabbed a scroll, which quickly unfolded into a painting more than ten kilometers long, lying horizontally in the air. His Wuji True Body stood on the scroll.

Su Yu looked closely and saw that the scroll depicted a hell, filled with all sorts of fierce ghosts and demons, surrounding ten ghost gods in the center.

"This is the Ten Directions Ghost and God Diagram, please enlighten me!"

Su Yu grinned. Since he couldn't defeat the opponent with supernatural powers and forbidden techniques, he resorted to using magical treasures.

"as you wish!"

He swung his axe down with both arms, and a jet-black axe beam swept across the sky.

Jiang Muyun pointed downwards, and the scroll instantly merged into the void. Countless fierce ghosts and demons materialized and rushed towards him. The ten ghost gods in the center also revealed their true forms. They were ten legendary templates, ghost god BOSSes with levels between 200 and 290.

These demonic bosses immediately manipulated numerous vengeful spirits upon their appearance, preparing to set up a ten-directional hellish formation centered around the ten-headed demonic god.

"interesting!"

"But since you used your magic item to summon people, I'll summon one too."

Su Yu waved her hand, and the Zhenhai Pearl appeared in her hand. She tossed it gently into the air, and it fell down with a bright blue light. The blue arc of its descent quickly opened to form a portal of light, from which Canghai, wearing a veiled hat to cover his face, stepped out, holding a ball of blue light in his hand.

The Zhenhai Pearl is his natal treasure, and it is indeed not against the rules for Canghai, as the spirit of the Zhenhai Pearl, to fight for him.

The Canghai who appeared tossed the innate water mine in his hand lightly, and the stream of light crashed into the great formation. The next second, the extremely violent Taiyin True Water and the innate Gui Water elite exploded, instantly engulfing the Ten Directions Ghost God Diagram.

However, the Ten Directions Hell Formation had already taken shape, and all the ghosts and gods were connected as one, forcefully blocking the first wave of the innate water and thunder.

Jiang Muyun stood beneath the light barrier and said in a deep voice:

"My Ten Directions Hell Formation combines the power of all ghosts and gods; only a celestial being could break it."

Su Yu smiled slightly:
"Not necessarily!"

Seconds after the first wave of innate water mines exploded, the innate Gui water elites regenerated and erupted again, freezing everything.

It repeats endlessly, life goes on without end.

With Canghai's current strength, the first wave of innate water mines will unleash a staggering 1 billion, followed by 40 repeated bursts, each bursting at 120 million, for a total of 48 billion. Even after deducting damage reduction, it will still amount to 29 billion.

After only the fifth recurrence, Jiang Muyun's expression changed.

"Why isn't it over yet?"

The eighth eruption tore the Ten Directions Hell Array apart, and the aftershocks engulfed everything. Millions of fierce ghosts within it were instantly wiped out, leaving only ten ghost gods of level two hundred or so.

"I surrender!"

Su Yu smiled slightly and waved to Cang Hai. Cang Hai waved his sleeve and opened a hundred-zhang-high azure light gate. The remaining innate Gui Water elites flew backward into the light gate and disappeared.

She nodded to Su Yu, then turned into a streak of blue light and flew into the Zhenhai Pearl.

Jiang Muyun reached out and summoned back the Ten Directions Ghost and God Diagram, then clasped his hands together in a respectful bow to Su Yu, and said in a deep voice:

"I lost. You are indeed stronger than me."

As soon as they finished speaking, Su Yu and Jiang Muyun suddenly sensed something and looked up to see a streak of light flashing in the sky. A scroll quickly formed on the horizon, with three ancient seal characters on it.

"The Peerless Ranking!"

From them, everyone within a radius of thousands of kilometers can see them.

The scroll slowly unfurled, revealing dozens of gleaming golden names that were deeply imprinted in the minds of everyone who saw the Peerless Ranking, leaving a lasting impression.

Suddenly, everyone sensed something and looked at Su Yu, seeing countless tiny streams of light rising from his body and flying towards the Peerless Ranking, coalescing into a new name—Su Yu.

This new name flew into the Peerless Ranking and occupied a position at the front. Jiang Muyun, who was originally in that position, was moved down one place, and all the other names in that position were moved down one place, until...
No one was removed from the Peerless Ranking, because there were already many empty slots on the Peerless Ranking, and the 72 slots on the Peerless Ranking were not full.

Su Yu: Daoist disciple of Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, 28 years old, has established a super-grade Time Battle Immortal Foundation, and ranks eleventh on the Human Race's Peerless Ranking.

Record of Ranking: He directly challenged Jiang Muyun, the Daoist of Wuji Immortal Palace, who was originally ranked eleventh on the Human Race's Peerless Ranking. He won many battles and his record was confirmed to be true. The Immortal Treasure Peerless Ranking absorbed his aura and included him on the list, allowing him to enjoy the fortune of the Human Race.

"Congratulations!"

Jiang Muyun wasn't angry that he had replaced her in the rankings, and asked curiously:

"Your physique is so powerful, and you can even manipulate the heavens and earth. Is your specialty body refinement?"

Su Yu snapped out of her daze, looked away from the notification panel, and shook her head, saying:

"To be precise, I am proficient in both Taoist body refinement and swordsmanship. I have comprehended the sword intent, and my Taoist techniques are also very powerful."

Jiang Muyun said in great surprise:

How can you be proficient in so many systems at the same time?

Su Yu shrugged and said:
"Perhaps I have a talent for this."

Jiang Muyun opened her mouth, but remained silent for a moment.

For someone at their level, true mastery means being able to put their skills to good use when facing opponents of the same rank; it doesn't mean simply practicing swordsmanship casually.
