Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 329 Golden Dragon Ao Ying, Ambush and Slay Two Immortals

One after another, the massive demon soldiers, with their powerful bodies, brute forcefully smashed through the ice shards and crashed heavily into the light barrier formed by the city's protective array.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The light barrier remained motionless, but as it was attacked, its properties became apparent to everyone.

Fifth-tier sect-protecting formation: 1000 billion defense, 60% damage reduction, 30 defense strength, and 200 million defense strength recovery speed per second.

"What strong defense!"

Not only does it have a defense of up to 1000 billion, but its defense strength is also as high as 30. Attacks with less than 30 power cannot break through its defense. This means that most cannon fodder attacks below level 180 cannot even break through its defense, or they can only barely break through it with a full-force attack, but the damage is also limited.

This also means that the attacking side has a huge number of cannon fodder, but in reality, they are only used to fill the gaps, and it is basically impossible to break through the city with cannon fodder.

However, not all of the Dragon Alliance forces were cannon fodder. After all, with a base of hundreds of millions, there were hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder created from experience monsters with a level of over 200.

If we wait until the cannon fodder has almost exhausted the city's energy before attacking, we can definitely threaten the great formation.

But that's for the future; the cannon fodder won't all die off anytime soon.

After all, even if hundreds of millions of cannon fodder are just ants, it will take a long time to crush them.

Su Yu transformed into a wisp of smoke and merged into the sea, watching as millions of cannon fodder besieged the city. One day, two days, five days, ten days passed, and massive numbers of cannon fodder perished outside the city walls. Their corpses were blasted to pieces by countless ice thunderbolts, piling up in a thick layer outside the city walls.

Normal corpses would float, but these monsters' bodies were stronger than steel, so their corpses couldn't float.

Fortunately, this place had many monsters, and the piles of corpses were quickly devoured by the monster soldiers who came up later.

The siege lasted for a full month and a half, and the cannon fodder demon army had only lost about 20% of its strength. The defending troops inside the city couldn't stand the loneliness, and one day a dark light suddenly rushed out of the city, transforming into a sea serpent demon fairy that was a hundred kilometers long and covered with green scales and ferocious bone spurs.

Sea Serpent Youchen (Myth): Level 332, Celestial Immortal, a demon immortal of the Sea Serpent clan.

Youchen's massive body shrank and sprang, causing a ring of highly poisonous flowers to explode, instantly reaching over a thousand kilometers away. Within that range, any demonic soldiers that touched it turned green, and in an instant, damage of tens of millions to a million floated up, creating a truly spectacular sight.
-
100 million.
-
100 million.

The damage continued relentlessly, jumping every three seconds. After just five jumps, some low-health demon soldiers were poisoned to death, their corpses quickly melting into a cloud of poison that spread throughout the seawater.

“Youchen”.

True Dragon Ao Ying stood up with a stern expression, turned to look at his two subordinates and the four celestial immortals from various races below, and asked in a deep voice:

"Can any of you help me defeat this scoundrel?"

The celestial being with divine eyes immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice:

"This humble Taoist is willing to go and slay this fiend."

Ao Ying's expression softened slightly, and she nodded, saying:
"I await good news here."

Tianyan Xingluo, the Heavenly Immortal, flickered and transformed into a stream of light, soaring into the sky and appearing on the battlefield. With a wave of his sleeve, a beam of white light flew out, transforming into a large banner surrounded by flowing light, which flew out and stood in the air.

A burst of magical power struck the banner, and a vortex of eerie light appeared. Accompanied by a deafening roar, phantom images of giant beasts flew out of the vortex.

Heavenly Beast Taming Banner (Low-grade Immortal Treasure): Can imprison the essence of demonic beasts and set up the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Beast Taming Formation.

In just a short while, more than a hundred giant beasts had emerged, with the lowest level being over 250. Five of them were even over 300, including two that were the essences of the sea serpent clan, both over 300.

The moment the two sea serpent spirits appeared, the sea serpent Youchen flew into a rage:
"hiss!"

"You dare to use the essence of your own race to refine a treasure? You are courting death."

With a single breath, a highly poisonous venomous breath burning with green flames swept across the sky and pierced straight into the great formation.

Xinglu chuckled:
"You two, your kinsmen, said the same thing when they were alive."

With a thought, the two sea serpent spirits opened their mouths and spewed out a stream of highly venomous breath, blocking You Chen's venomous breath.

"court death."

You Chen charged forward with his massive body, and the two sea serpent spirits met him without hesitation, instantly engaging in a chaotic battle.

As soon as the two sides clashed, the demon immortal You Chen immediately gained the upper hand, overwhelming the two spirits of the same race with his strength.

The Heavenly Immortal with the Heavenly Eye was not in a hurry. With a thought, he activated the Heavenly Beast Taming Banner and controlled the other two Heavenly Immortal-level spirits. With the addition of the four against one, they barely managed to fight to a draw.

Although these spirits are all celestial-level demon immortals or demon beasts, they have died once and their physical bodies are gone. Now only their spirits remain, and their strength is only about 70% of what it was before they died. Their strength is far inferior to that of demon immortals of the same level.

However, although they are not strong, they are numerous and fearless. Even if they die in battle, their essence can return to the Heavenly Beast Taming Banner, be nurtured for a period of time, and be brought out to fight again.

The five demon immortal spirits, four of them besieged You Chen, one stood guard on the side, while Xing Luo waved the Beast Taming Banner in the rear, constantly shooting out powerful arrows.

The power of celestial treasures is incomparably strong. Even if they are not offensive celestial treasures, they are not weak. When activated by a celestial immortal, they are enough to pose a great threat to demon immortals of the same level.

Less than two minutes into the battle, the sea serpent Youchen was at a disadvantage and was being relentlessly attacked by the four demon immortals.

Seeing that he was no match for them, You Chen did not hesitate. He immediately broke through the encirclement and rushed out through the gap, turning around and heading straight for Caizhu City.

But the Heavenly Immortal with the Heavenly Eye, who was prepared, immediately reached out and grabbed, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth gathered and condensed into two towering hands covering hundreds of kilometers, pressing down.

"boom!"

One of the powerful energy hands was shattered, but the other firmly held back the Sea Serpent Demon Immortal. The five demon immortal spirits rushed up and cooperated with Xing Luo, actually blocking the Sea Serpent Demon Immortal in one fell swoop.

Just then, another beam of light shot out from within Pearl City, transforming into another sea serpent demon immortal. It smashed the demon immortal's spirit aside. Then, a horned demon and a celestial immortal from the serpent race made a move that attracted Yu Shanming and the others who were preparing to intercept them.

Once You Chen was freed, he turned around and fled back into the city without hesitation.

"pity!"

Xinglu returned somewhat dejectedly to the giant tortoise's back, while Ao Ying smiled and praised:

"Sir, your strength is extraordinary, having overpowered You Chen."

Xinglu smiled and cupped his hands in greeting:
"It's a pity the enemy had reinforcements, otherwise they would have definitely captured him."

Ao Ying waved his hand and said:
"No rush. Once the magical energy stored in Pearl City is exhausted, they will have no choice but to leave the city to fight. That will be our chance."

Xinglu smiled and stepped back, then used his immortal authority to create a temporary channel and transmit his voice to the other immortals present:

"Interested in collaborating?"

The celestial being Lan Chao from the Merfolk clan asked:

"What cooperation?"

"They'll definitely come out again eventually. Then we'll attack together and take one down. I only need their physical body and the soul of the demon immortal; the rest of the spoils are yours."

After a moment's thought, Lan Chao nodded and said:
"can."

Some agreed, and even though Yu Shanming from the human race and Lei Mo from the Lei Gong clan were unwilling to see Xing Luo's strength advance further, they had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Xingluo's strength alone is enough to suppress a demon immortal. In addition, the probability of the cooperation between the mermaid and the celestial being is very high. Whether they agree or not will not have much impact. It's better to get a share of the pie.

After the brief intervention of the celestial being, the battle resumed its previous rhythm, with a large number of cannon fodder being redeployed to continue the siege. No one remembered that You Chen had just used a wave of poisonous aura to instantly kill millions of cannon fodder.

Time flies, and another day passes by.

Perhaps because of the previous setbacks, no demons or immortals came out to provoke them in the days that followed; they were simply worn down as cannon fodder.

Another month passed in a flash. Thanks to the efforts of countless cannon fodder legions, the mana and earth vein energy stored in the mana pool in Pearl City were almost completely depleted. Everyone knew that the final battle was just around the corner.

"Woo!"

A muffled horn sounded across the sea, and the incredibly strong defensive array's light screen rippled and became clear, revealing a densely packed army of sea serpent demons behind it.

With a heavy drumbeat, a densely packed demon army surged over the city walls, through the protective array's light barrier, and out of the city, engaging in a chaotic battle with the dragon demon army outside.

"The final battle has begun."

After waiting for more than two months, Su Yu's spirits lifted, and she focused her attention on the battlefield above.

The giant tortoise, as large as a continent, moved slowly, and all the celestial beings on the palace above it had already stood up.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The deep, powerful sound of war drums never stopped, constantly pounding. The magical power continuously fueled the fighting spirit and blood energy of both demon armies. As time passed, even Golden Core cultivators could hardly suppress their fighting spirit, and hundreds of players from various races gathered at the rear also joined the battlefield one after another.

"hiss!"

At one point, a sea serpent demon could no longer contain itself and rushed out of the city.

The dragons responded immediately, with six celestial beings from the four races flying out from the giant tortoise's back.

Yes, there are six.

Initially, there were four, but two more arrived during this month: one human and one Heavenly Eye Man. In addition, there was Ao Ying Crab General and the Dragon Whale, and um, that giant tortoise. The Dragon Clan Allied Forces had a total of ten Celestial Immortals.

The sea serpent clan was not to be outdone, sending out another sea serpent demon immortal, an octopus demon immortal, and a demon shark demon immortal, along with eight celestial immortals from different player civilizations, totaling twelve celestial immortals. On the surface, they seemed to have the upper hand.

As for whether there are any hidden celestial beings, Su Yu felt there should be, but not many, at most one or two.

Although the two races have a considerable number of Celestial Immortal-level experts, including at least two hundred, the Azure Immortal Realm is too vast. The territory of the East Sea alone stretches from south to north and from east to west for at least a billion kilometers.

In addition, with the South China Sea, the West China Sea, and the North China Sea, its territory is so vast that it exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.

The main battlefield between the Dragon Clan and the Sea Serpent Clan is in the East Sea, but that doesn't mean there are no wars in other sea areas. These places all need celestial beings to oversee them.

Hundreds of celestial beings dispersed, and it is estimated that less than a hundred remained in the East Sea.

The fact that a battle in a mere Pearl City could gather nine Celestial Immortal-level experts already indicates a massive scale of warfare, making it unlikely that more Celestial Immortals would arrive.

Without any pleasantries, the top experts from both sides showed up and immediately started fighting, each pairing up to kill the other.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, kings against kings. Ao Ying transformed into a golden dragon and pounced, directly confronting a top-level sea serpent demon immortal. Relying on the racial advantages of the dragon race, he quickly gained the upper hand.

The crab revealed its true form: a golden-clawed thunder crab with a carapace diameter of over twenty kilometers, its massive golden pincers crackling with lightning, as it confronted the octopus demon.

The dragon whale was the largest of the three, and when it revealed its true form, it was a giant whale that was seventy or eighty kilometers long and covered with thick dragon scales. With one headbutt, it sent the largest demon shark fairy on the other side flying dozens of kilometers away.

The remaining sea serpent demon was You Chen, who was then entangled by Xing Luo, who was holding the Heavenly Gang Beast Taming Banner.

The remaining players were celestial beings from various player civilizations, who each found an opponent to fight against.

Two more alien celestial beings appeared: one to help You Chen fight against Xing Luo, and the other to help the strongest sea serpent demon immortal fight against the true dragon Ao Ying.

The extra giant tortoise from the Dragon Alliance was too slow to participate, so it slowly crawled towards Pearl City and, with its enormous size, slammed into the city, causing hundreds of millions of damage with a single impact—a truly terrifying sight.

Behind the giant tortoise, dozens of true dragons of level two hundred or so were coiled in the air, as well as hundreds of various flood dragons of the same level two hundred or so.

Su Yu observed carefully and found that, on the surface, the two clans were evenly matched.

The players were all evenly matched in one-on-one battles. The Crab General and the Octopus Fairy were evenly matched for a while. The Dragon Whale was stronger than the Demon Shark, but its vitality made it impossible to kill it in a short time.

The sea serpent demon immortal You Chen was still no match for Xing Luo, but with the help of a horned demon immortal, she could still hold her own. However, even with the combined strength of the sea serpent demon immortal You Mu and another immortal, they still couldn't defeat the true dragon Ao Ying.

In a short time, Ao Ying gained an absolute advantage, ignoring the other celestial being who was beating You Mu.

The sea serpent clan, which once rivaled the dragons for dominance of the seas in the ancient primordial era, is now far inferior to the dragons in terms of bloodline, and is even less than the dragon whales and dragon turtles that possess dragon blood.

The reason is that they failed.

The sea serpent race in ancient times was not weak. The sea serpent ancestor was originally a top-level innate deity who was no less than the Ancestral Dragon.

But the key point is that they failed, and their racial destiny was taken away.

Furthermore, after defeating the Sea Serpent Clan, the Dragon Clan, along with the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan, became the first generation of protagonists destined by Heaven in the primordial world. With the blessing of Heaven's Mandate, their bloodline advanced even further. With one addition and one subtraction, the Sea Serpent Clan is now basically no match for the Dragon Clan in the same level.

It's worth mentioning that the dragon race is not at its peak right now.

After the initial calamity of the Dragon Han Dynasty, the Dragon Clan lost its position as the protagonist of destiny, and its bloodline began to decline. The Dragon Clan of today is completely different from the Dragon Clan of the ancient primordial era, and it has long lost its former glory.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; no matter how much it's weakened, it's still stronger than most other races.

The reason why the Sea Serpent Clan in the Azure Immortal Realm can overpower the Dragon Clan is mainly due to their numerical advantage. For example, in this battle, the Dragon Clan only sent Ao Ying, while there are at least three Celestial Immortals from the Sea Serpent Clan in Caizhu City.

If one can't defeat them, two or three will come at them together. No matter how strong the dragons are, they can't fight against four hands with two fists.

Seeing that she was no match for him, the sea serpent Youmu let out a sharp cry, and white light flew out from inside the city. A serpent-human celestial being transformed into a celestial avatar and joined the battle. The three celestial beings worked together to alleviate Youmu's crisis.

But this only provided some relief, because even with three against one, they still couldn't win. After the three Celestial Immortals joined forces, Ao Ying unleashed a Celestial Treasure-level Dragon Pearl, smashing them into a sorry state.

Less than two minutes later, Youmu shrieked again, and more ghostly light flew out from the city, quickly expanding into a sea serpent demon immortal of level 315, charging towards the True Dragon Battlefield.

"It's now."

Just as Su Yu was about to appear, she heard a deafening dragon roar from behind. A yellow dragon of level 335 flew out from behind and rushed straight at the newly appeared sea serpent demon immortal You An.

"Oh!"

Su Yu stopped moving, squinted slightly, and continued to wait.

The sea serpent demon that finally appeared was no match for Huanglong. Its level and bloodline were both inferior, and it fell into a disadvantageous position in less than a minute of fighting. After a fierce melee, its scales were shattered and its venomous blood flowed freely.

No new Celestial Immortal level experts have appeared in the city.

"Are they all out?"

Su Yu hesitated for less than three seconds while pinching her chin before making a decision. Her figure blurred as she appeared in human form, and then a terrifying power surged forth, causing her body to rapidly expand.

"Roar!"

The earth-shaking dragon roar swept across the sea, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Everyone stared in astonishment at the crimson dragon that appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

"Where did this fellow clansman come from? Their bloodline is so pure."

The sea serpent, a celestial being, began to beat the drum:

"We can't win, everyone retreat."

Suddenly, a snake-man Golden Core cultivator appeared in the city and shouted in a deep voice:

"The city lord has ordered us to hold on a little longer; top-tier experts are about to arrive!"

The experts from various races who were preparing to retreat immediately abandoned their thoughts of retreat and activated their magical treasures and supernatural powers to continue the battle.

However, You An, who was besieged by the Yellow Dragon and the Red Dragon, was in big trouble. He was already suppressed by the Yellow Dragon, and the Red Dragon pounced from behind, which he could not resist at all. The Great Wilderness Ancestral Dragon Claw was indestructible and easily pierced through the snake scales and dug into the flesh. It bit down on the seven-inch spot and caused damage of more than 300 million.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of red light erupted from the dragon's mouth, and a blazing dragon breath spewed out, directly engulfing half of You An's body.

The sea serpent fairy was in excruciating pain, and unable to resist opening its mouth to hiss as it bit the yellow dragon.

"boom!"

The explosion of primordial demonic power sent the two dragons flying, and he seized the opportunity to turn and run away.

"Trying to run? Don't even think about it!"

"Reverse Yin and Yang!"

The crimson dragon raised its head and roared. With a blink of its eyes, an invisible force of law spread out, reversing time and space. The time and space where You An was, who had rushed hundreds of miles away, changed, as if it had appeared out of thin air in front of the crimson dragon and rushed into its arms.

Without hesitation, Su Yu bit down on the sea serpent's head and neck, delivering another critical hit worth over 300 million. Huang Long, working in perfect coordination, bit down on the sea serpent demon's waist. The two dragons pulled together, straightening its body, the immense force causing the serpent's scales to fly off.

Even in such a terrible state, the demon immortal was not fatal; his body was as tough as rubber.

"Split the sky!"

Su Yu decisively activated his ultimate move. The dragon claw shimmered with invisible light, and the tough snake body was easily inserted into it like tofu. With a pinch, a pull, and a twist, the dragon's mouth lightened, and an exaggerated damage of 15 billion was exploded in front of him. The sea serpent demon was directly cut in two by the Great Wilderness Ancestral Dragon Claw.

The upper half of the body was in the mouth of the red dragon, and the lower half was in the mouth of the yellow dragon.

Not dead yet, but already low on health.

Then, with another dragon claw pressing down on the snake's head, the skull was pierced, and terrifying power rushed into the demon immortal's brain. The light in the sea serpent's pupils was extinguished like a candle flame swept away by a whirlwind.

The next second, a demon immortal's primordial spirit flew out of the corpse, and the prepared red dragon opened its mouth and swallowed it.

However, it is only stored in the body and not refined on the spot; there is no time for that now.

The demon immortal shuddered, causing invisible waves to ripple outwards. The crimson light stained the surrounding sea, attracting the attention of all the celestial immortals. Xingluo, the celestial immortal with the Heavenly Eye who held the Heavenly Beast Taming Banner, was filled with greed upon seeing the devoured demon immortal's primordial spirit. Meanwhile, the sea serpent demon immortal he was besieging was terrified and, without hesitation, gave the order:
"withdraw!"

He quickly unleashed his primal energy to forcefully shake off the spirits surrounding him, then turned and fled.

Octopus Fairy and Demon Shark Fairy immediately followed. Although the eight Celestial Immortals from different player civilizations did not unleash their original power, they all had ways to escape and followed.

Su Yu's mind raced, and she quickly locked onto a horned demon celestial being. Her burning pupils closed, and she uttered a true incantation:

"Time reversed!"

The spacetime where the horned demon celestial being who escaped the outbreak was reversed, and unknowingly headed straight for the Crimson Dragon.

The reversal of time and space went unnoticed even by the celestial beings until they saw the dragon's head open right in front of them. But before they could react, the dragon's claws came crashing down.

"No!"

A tenth-tier treasure bell flew up, but its light was instantly shattered by the dragon's claws. The protective light flashed and disappeared, and the dragon's claws pressed down, shattering the primordial spirit and dharma image inch by inch. A panicked immortal primordial spirit escaped and was swallowed up by the prepared red dragon.

Great Wilderness Ancestral Dragon Claw (Supreme): Your dragon claw's armor-piercing strength is increased by 1 at your current level. It ignores all restrictions and defensive characteristics, dealing full damage. Power increased by 100%. Additional characteristic: Sky-Splitting.

Sky Rift: Your attack can tear through space, breaking through all defensive restrictions and barriers below the current realm +1, lasting for 60 seconds, with a 24-hour cooldown.

Activating the Heaven-Splitting ability, the Great Wilderness Ancestral Dragon Claw can directly break through all defensive restrictions and barriers below the current realm +1. Even tenth-tier magic treasures and the protective aura of celestial immortals are directly destroyed, leaving them powerless to fight back.

In that brief moment, the horned demon immortal sacrificed his life to buy the other immortals a little time, allowing them to quickly escape back to Caizhu City.

Other dragon factions' celestial beings all tried to capture them, but they either unleashed their true power or used their trump cards to escape, making it impossible to restrain them for the time being.

However, the most crucial point is that they are too close to Caizhu City. With their speed, they could escape back in a few seconds.

If the distance is far enough to wait for the outbreak to end, a few more will definitely be left behind.

As soon as the battle ended, Ao Ying and Huang Long flew towards the Crimson Dragon, observing it with curious eyes. A moment later, Su Yu heard Ao Ying's loud voice:
"I have never seen you before in the Dragon Palace of Dongsheng Divine Continent or the Azure Immortal Realm, young fellow clansman. What is your name, and where do you come from?"

The red dragon spoke, also using telepathy:
"I come from the distant Blue Mountains sea area."

"Blue Mountains? Never heard of it."

"It's a small place."

Ao Ying didn't dwell on this point; her tone was clearly pleased.

"No matter where you come from, I am glad that young people of your kind can participate in this war that has been going on since the beginning of time. This is your responsibility, and you cannot escape it."

Su Yu nodded:

"That's what I'm here for."

“Very good. After this battle, you will come back to Dragon Castle with me. You have killed two enemies and will receive the rewards and status you deserve.”

"Please take good care of me from now on, brother."

Su Yu adopted a very humble posture, revealing that he regarded Ao Ying as the leader. Ao Ying was very pleased to see this and became even more friendly, personally introducing Huanglong's situation to him.

Huanglong's real name is Ao Rong, and he is Ao Ying's younger brother.
