Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 328 Golden Core Heavenly Ghost Transformation, Dragon-Snake Battle

Su Yu's figure flickered and he transformed back into his true form. He reached out and took out a trophy orb, which was left behind by the sea serpent demon immortal You Yuan.

Open the orb; inside are only four items.

A sea serpent skeleton that stretches for hundreds of kilometers—this thing could be used as the skeleton of a celestial vessel. Its size would command a high price, probably several thousand celestial coins.

A pair of fangs over a thousand meters long can be used to forge two highly poisonous flying swords, each at least tenth grade, worth two to three thousand immortal coins.

The Demon Immortal's Poison Sac contains highly poisonous laws, capable of killing even ordinary immortals.

Besides that, there are tens of thousands of demonic snake scales, which can be used to make no less than ten sets of snake scale armor with a minimum grade of ten, similar to magic robes, worth two thousand immortal coins.

"is acceptable."

Although it's not a finished magic weapon, its overall value is over ten thousand immortal coins.

Without a celestial treasure, a celestial being can theoretically drop a celestial artifact, but the prerequisite is that the celestial being has a celestial artifact in their possession. Youyuan himself does not have a celestial artifact, so it is impossible for him to drop one out of thin air for you.

After taking stock of her spoils, Su Yu's figure flickered and disappeared into the water.

Using the Innate Water Escape Technique, a faint ripple swiftly traversed the sea, covering thousands of miles in a flash. In just a few days, it had crossed hundreds of millions of kilometers to reach the northern part of the East China Sea, arriving at the border area between the Dragon Clan and the Sea Serpent Clan.

The two races each occupied a territory: the dragon race in the north and the sea serpent race in the south, with their troops constantly fighting in the middle.

In an unnamed sea area, the seabed is an underwater mountain range stretching for millions of kilometers, with many giant peaks reaching hundreds of kilometers in height, plunging straight into the sea to form islands.

The continuous mountain range contains rich mineral resources and numerous spiritual veins. Many demons have settled here, forming demon territories and demon cities of varying sizes.

However, as the dragon and serpent races went to war, the demon race that had been entrenched in this area could no longer remain unaffected. Under the pressure of the powerful forces of the dragon and serpent races, they had no choice but to join the two races, and the vast underwater mountain range was engulfed in war.

In their struggle for control of this sea area, the Dragon Clan and the Sea Serpent Clan each built a large fortress at one end of this underwater mountain range, with a True Immortal and a dozen Celestial Immortals stationed at each end, and gathered hundreds of millions of demon soldiers to fight each other.

Within a day of entering this sea area, Su Yu witnessed no fewer than ten battles of varying sizes. He transformed into a celestial demon, becoming ethereal and hiding in the sea to observe carefully.

It is worth mentioning that Su Yu's Heavenly Ghost Transformation Technique has transformed her true form into a Heavenly Ghost at the Golden Core realm after she passed the Golden Core Tribulation.

Although the level is still 200, the attributes have undergone a qualitative change compared to before.

Heavenly Demon Transformation Technique (Supreme): Level 200, Golden Core Technique, allows one to transform into a supreme heavenly demon.

The Heavenly Demon is naturally skilled in the Five Elements of flight, able to change between illusion and reality at will, and possesses immense strength: 7500 million Qi and Blood, 500 million Mana, 100 million Physique, 150 million Strength, +200 million Magic Damage, and 20 km/h Speed.

Abilities: Supreme Heavenly Ghost Body, Transformation between Reality and Illusion, Change of Size at Will, Five Elements Laws +10, Five Elements Thunder Technique (Law), Five Elements Escape Technique (Law), Five Elements Forbidden Technique (Law), Five Elements Divine Qi (Law), Transformation into the Five Elements, Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Forbidden (Supreme).

For every ten levels gained, HP increases by 30 million, MP by 3000 million, Physique by 100, Strength by 20, Spell Damage by 30, and Speed ​​by 2.

Five Elements Thunder Spell (Law): Damage 5 million, casting range 50 kilometers, damage radius 500 meters, mana cost 500, cooldown 1 seconds. Thunder spells have a cooldown, but the five types of divine thunder can be used in rotation.

The biggest difference between the Heavenly Ghost Transformation and the Foundation Establishment stage is not the surge in attributes, but the +10 to the Five Elements Law.

The Supreme Heavenly Ghost Golden Core allows one to master the laws, and possesses all five elements of the laws.

In addition, the Five Elements Thunder Technique is not just the Five Elements Thunder Technique itself, but also includes the Divine Thunder Network derived from it.

The forbidden techniques are not limited to the basic Five Elements forbidden techniques, such as the Azure Water Cold Tide Forbidden Technique and the Heavenly Blazing Fire Forbidden Technique. They also include many more profound and powerful Five Elements forbidden techniques derived from them, as well as the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Ray that combines the five elements.

It can be said that the higher the level of this transformation technique, the greater its power and the more magical it becomes.

Su Yu transformed into a wisp of nothingness, traversing back and forth in the sea, even passing directly through the chaotic battlefield. No demon could detect him, including the leading sea serpent clan and the dragon clan.

Of course, there were no Celestial Immortals in these battlefields, but he was quite curious to see if a Celestial Immortal could detect the ethereal smoke that was the incarnation of the Heavenly Ghost.

Su Yu did not go to the Dragon Clan Fortress immediately, but spent almost a month traveling around this sea area. In addition to understanding the situation on the ground, her main purpose was to find the next victim.

He needs to find a suitable opportunity to appear on the Dragon-Snake Battlefield, kill a Sea Serpent Clan demon immortal under the spotlight, and thus gain the attention of the Dragon Clan, thereby obtaining a higher status.

The wait wasn't long. While patrolling, he kept an eye on the human race's regional channels and soon an opportunity arose.

"Brothers, Lord Ao Ying of the Dragon Clan has assembled an army to attack Pearl City No. 67. In addition to Ao Ying, there is also a Celestial Crab General and a Celestial Dragon Whale. It's a large-scale operation with high merit. Are there any human brothers who want to sign up to form a group and farm merit?"

"The area around Caizhu City is rich in Spirit Light Immortal Pearls, making it a top-tier resource area in this sea. The Sea Serpent Clan has two Demon Immortals stationed there year-round. In the event of war, two or three Demon Immortals can come to the rescue at any time. I'm afraid three Celestial Immortals alone wouldn't be able to take it down, would they?"

"Of course, there are more than three. All four clans will have celestial immortals, so there should be five or six or even more in total."

"Well, that's fine. I'll be there in a few days."

"The Tianxuan Squad will arrive in a week."

"There are four of us here, and there's also a Celestial Immortal who's active here. I'll ask him if he's coming."

"That's great! If we could gather two or three Celestial Immortals, we might be able to take down Caizhu City directly."

Su Yu remained silent, quietly observing the exchanges among her fellow clansmen on the regional channel.

In a race war of this scale, players are indispensable, with many races joining the Dragon or Sea Serpent factions.

Just as the Serpent Race is naturally close to the Sea Serpent Race, Human players, being of the Chinese race from Earth, are naturally close to the Dragon Race.

Other players have no preference for any particular civilization; they will join whichever side offers the highest price or is the strongest.

The sea serpent clan, with the advantages they had built up over the past few decades and the massive resources they acquired after seizing the Azure Dragon Palace, were able to offer higher prices, giving them a greater advantage over the dragon clan in this respect.

Of the dozen or so player civilizations that existed in the Azure Immortal Realm, two-thirds had joined the Sea Serpent Clan's faction.

Su Yu arrived at Caizhu City ahead of time, transforming into a wisp of smoke to scout the surroundings.

Pearl City is a city built in a basin between four underwater mountains. It is surrounded by a series of underwater mountain valleys. For some unknown reason, the landform of these mountains has cracked, with fissures and canyons everywhere. Rich spiritual energy gushes out from the fissures, attracting a large number of spiritual light shellfish to live in this sea area.

Lingguang Xianbei is a special type of shellfish that produces a precious pearl called Lingguang Xianzhu.

This precious pearl is formed from rich spiritual energy. When refined, it can be transformed into pure magical power and cultivation. It is a rare resource that can directly enhance cultivation.

Such a treasure, which can be considered a strategic resource, is bound to attract competition between the two forces. Su Yu checked the chat in the regional channel one by one. In the short few years since the Dragon Clan invited reinforcements from Dongsheng Shenzhou, they have launched three large-scale attacks, but none of them have succeeded in taking Caizhu City. "This one is good, this is the one."

Su Yu turned his attention to Caizhu City. This city had been attacked many times and had been expanded many times. Now the city walls had been expanded to four underwater mountain ranges. The four mountain peaks were connected directly to form the city walls. The four mountain peaks were used as the foundation to rebuild an even more powerful city protection formation.

The area outside the city had been blasted bare by various spells during numerous wars, leaving nothing behind. However, the city's protective array remained active year-round, and the city walls were covered with numerous divine thunder towers of various levels and various war magic weapons.

Inside the city were densely packed military camps, and from the outside, one could see countless demon soldiers training day and night.

"This demon army probably numbers in the tens of millions, and they are all elites."

Su Yu circled around, even transforming into a wisp of smoke to burrow underground for another round, but found no flaws.

"It seems we have no choice but to launch a direct attack."

After waiting outside the city for almost a week, the dragon demon army finally arrived.

There's not much to see about the demon army; both sides' demon armies are the same. The only difference is that the dragon race has a large number of shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and turtle generals, which is unique to the dragon race and not found in the sea serpent race.

There wasn't a single one; it's quite amazing.

Why Su Yu doesn't actually know.

Before Su Yu transmigrated, in both novels and myths, there were several races that always appeared with the dragon race, namely the turtle prime minister, the shrimp soldier, the crab general, and the clam woman.

In every mythological novel, there are always these kinds of demons in the Dragon Palace, and their positions are always fixed.

The reason for this is that during the primordial era when the dragon race and the sea serpent race were vying for dominance in the sea, the turtle race, crab race, shrimp race, and clam race were among the first races to submit to the dragon race as a whole.

In order to win over the demons, the Ancestral Dragon swore an oath that these races would forever remain with the Dragon Clan.

This is a vow made by the ancestors of several clans, engraved in their blood and souls.

Therefore, no matter where they were later, these clans were always staunch subordinates of the Dragon Clan.

The turtle is in charge of the Dragon Palace's internal affairs, the crab is the general, the shrimp is the soldier, and the clam clan, being unskilled in combat, serves as maids.

After the dragon army arrived, they set up camp a thousand kilometers away from Caizhu City. The camp stretched for thousands of kilometers, and the number of demon soldiers was in the hundreds of millions.

However, the vast majority of them are cannon fodder from waste templates and ordinary templates. They are all demon soldiers created using secret methods, and their transformation is extremely incomplete. Most of them still retain their demon form.

Half-fish, half-human, covered in scales, with all sorts of strange appearances, they have neither armor nor weapons, most of them are unarmed, and a few have refined the bone spurs on their bodies into a bone spear as a weapon.

These are just cannon fodder; I wouldn't feel bad if more of them died.

After all, in this new era of great calamity, the Heavenly Dao has been digitized, and spirits and monsters are constantly being created. There are as many as you need, and given enough time, hundreds of billions or even trillions can be created.

Su Yu's gaze swept across the endless sea of ​​demons, and he soon spotted the various demon generals, large and small, located in the rear.

In the center is a giant tortoise, a celestial-level wild beast. Its enormous body, hundreds of kilometers in diameter, has not yet taken human form. On its back sits a luxurious chariot, upon which sits a young man draped in a lavish brocade robe. This young man is none other than Ao Ying, the commander of this demon army. Beside him are beautiful clam maidens serving him, and standing beside them is a tortoise general of level 286 carrying a tortoise shell.

True Dragon Ao Ying (Myth): Level 346, Celestial Immortal, True Dragon of the Dragon Clan.

Two tall figures and four slightly shorter figures sat below the True Dragon Ao Ying.

The tall figures were a celestial-level crab general clad in golden armor, named Xie Luo, level 336, and a mythical template.

On the other side was a giant woman, five meters tall, named Long Jin, level 342, a mythical template, who was actually a celestial-level dragon whale.

In addition, there is one human player named Tianxian, one Tianyan player named Tianxian, one merman player named Tianxian, and one thunder god player named Tianxian.

After all, they are high-end celestial warriors and have some status here, but because they are mercenaries, their status is lower than that of the directly subordinate Crab General and Dragon Whale.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The deep, resounding drumbeats echoed across the seabed. These drumbeats contained a strange power, and upon hearing them, the blood of countless demon soldiers began to boil and become restless. Numerous demon generals, both large and small, constantly shouted and restrained their demon generals.

At this moment, the tortoise bowed to the true dragon Ao Ying and said:

"My lord, the time has come!"

Ao Ying looked up, and a golden light shot into the sky from above his head, transforming into a golden dragon a hundred miles long, which raised its head and roared:
"attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the millions of demon soldiers were in an uproar and could no longer restrain themselves, launching an attack on the distant Pearl City.

From the air, countless black dots converged into a tide, surging towards the underwater city.

Behind the army, numerous airships were anchored. On one of these airships stood dozens of human players, who looked down at the dense black dots in the sea and remarked:

“Every large-scale war carries both risks and opportunities. The fall of each demon immortal generates at least tens of thousands of immortal coins. If you’re lucky, you can earn tens of thousands of immortal coins. Each person can get several thousand immortal coins. If you can conquer this city and make a great contribution, you’ll be qualified to plunder it. It’s possible for a single person to earn tens of thousands.”

"But attacking a demon immortal is too risky. Even if all of us go together, we can't defeat it. We need a celestial immortal-level expert to oversee it."

"But celestial-level experts look down on our strength; to them, our strength is only a hindrance."

"Ugh!"

An hour later, the vanguard of demon soldiers had rushed to within ten miles of Caizhu City and could already see the guards on the city walls with the naked eye.

When the demon soldiers rushed to within about a mile of the city, the ice-soul divine lightning suspended from the densely packed divine lightning towers on the city wall rose up, trailing dazzling blue light like billions of blue meteors falling outside the city.

"Boom!"

Billions of ice thunderbolts exploded, and a fierce chill burst forth, instantly freezing the battle line, which stretched for hundreds of kilometers from left to right, into an ice wall hundreds of kilometers long. Millions of demon soldiers were instantly frozen within the ice wall.

In the underwater environment, all divine lightning of all attributes except water is suppressed to the extreme, with its power less than one-tenth of normal. Therefore, the war weapons used underwater are all of the water, ice and lightning attributes.

The ice wall was hundreds of kilometers long, nearly a thousand meters high, and two to three hundred meters thick. In a mortal kingdom, it would be an insurmountable barrier, but in a battlefield of this scale, it was shattered in less than ten seconds by the continuous stream of demon soldiers.
