Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 331 Escape, the Plan to Seize the Dinghai Pearl

"This halberd can be deadly!"

In a split second, Su Yu made a decision and activated the Ancient Dragon Primordial Spirit Dharma Form with a thought.

A powerful force, far beyond its expectations, surged from its body like magma, rapidly flowing through all its tendons, bones, and blood vessels. The red dragon's body swelled rapidly, its scales turned into crimson crystals, its skin cracked, and blood-red magma flowed within. Flames erupted, forming an invisible halo that enveloped the red dragon's body.

"Buzz!"

The crimson dragon's massive body spun around, and the sea serpent demon fairy Youmu, who was wrapped around the dragon's tail, was flung away by an unimaginable force.

However, the divine halberd could not avoid piercing down, easily penetrating the flames. The dragon scales, which had temporarily transformed into an ancient dragon, could not withstand the halberd being pierced and blasted open, creating a hole. A stream of magma-like dragon blood gushed out along the halberd, and the poisonous flames wrapped around the halberd were instantly annihilated by the lava.

However, the divine halberd only penetrated less than fifty meters into the body before being blocked by incredibly tough muscles and unable to advance any further. The scorching dragon blood sprayed out along the divine halberd, splattering all over the two-headed snake-man celestial being, instantly turning him into a burning fireman.

"Roar!"

With a deafening roar, the crimson dragon, its physique and strength increased tenfold, lifted the fifty-kilometer-high divine peak into the air, amidst the shocked gazes of the two serpent-human celestial beings.

"Oh no, you'd better get out of here!"

The single-headed snake-man celestial being immediately activated the Giant Peak Treasure Seal, while the two-headed snake-man celestial being also grabbed the divine halberd and retreated.

The Crimson Dragon's muscles tensed, and the divine halberd could not be pulled out. The two-headed serpent-human celestial did not hesitate to abandon the divine weapon and fly backward. However, at this moment, the Crimson Dragon's attributes were all increased by 10, and its speed was faster than they imagined. Its two dragon claws grabbed the two-headed celestial dharma image with lightning speed and pressed it down hard.

"boom!"

The two-headed celestial being's avatar trembled violently, and several cracks instantly appeared on its massive form, with a staggering number of 9 million bursting from its head.

The Crimson Dragon has a base strength of 20 million, and a tenfold increase in attributes, resulting in a total strength of 2 billion.

Such terrifying power is comparable to that of a true immortal. A casual strike is earth-shattering. This snake-man celestial dharma form was completely unable to withstand it. The red dragon withstood the heavy pressure of the giant peak and smashed it into pieces on the spot.

A beam of primordial light shot into the sky, and the Crimson Dragon opened its mouth and forcibly inhaled the light into its belly.

From transformation to instant kill, it only took four seconds, and it took the many immortals fighting around them to react.

"What kind of magical power is this?"

"True Immortal Power?"

While the others were astonished, Jinlong Aoying and Huanglong Aorong were utterly shocked:
"This is the power of an ancient dragon!"

The red dragon heard their shocked questions:
"Brother, you've awakened the blood of an ancient dragon?"

Su Yu said in a deep voice:

"I don't know either. I once found the remains of an elder of my clan in a grotto-heaven. Inside the remains, I found a blood pool. After absorbing the dragon blood in the blood pool, my bloodline became pure. After surviving the tribulation of heaven and man, I automatically mastered this supernatural power, which can activate the power in my bloodline."

“That senior must be the remains of an ancient dragon. You are so lucky.”

Ao Ying's tone revealed barely suppressed envy and a touch of jealousy, but no other malice.

Su Yu and he were both dragons, and Su Yu knew that he had no other thoughts besides envy in his situation.

Some might think that his bloodline could be extracted and used for other purposes through secret methods, and it is indeed possible, but only if his ancient dragon bloodline is fully activated.

He hasn't activated his own ancient dragon bloodline yet, and his divine abilities haven't manifested. Forcibly extracting it would only yield a bloodline stronger than a normal true dragon bloodline.

Although this bloodline is stronger than that of a normal true dragon, the strength is limited, and most importantly, it is impossible to use his bloodline to transform into an ancient dragon bloodline.

The transformation from a normal true dragon bloodline to an ancient dragon involves more than just bloodline; it also involves a complete transformation of the soul and true spirit's will.

With his current bloodline strength, it is insufficient to enable another true dragon to complete its bloodline transformation.

Unless he can completely complete the bloodline transformation and become a true ancient dragon.

But if he could transform into a true ancient dragon, with the suppression of his bloodline, other dragons would not dare to offend him, let alone attack him.

"boom!"

A colossal peak, fifty kilometers high, was overturned by the red dragon. Its right claw pressed down on the peak, while its left claw pointed outwards, seemingly pressing down lightly.

"Certainly!"

The void where the other snake-man celestial being was located was solidified by unimaginable power. The snake-man celestial being's Dharma form seemed to be embedded in the void and fixed in place. Then, a seal was smashed down, and the Dharma form shattered into pieces.

The dragon bit down hard, and the celestial spirit of the snake-man entered its mouth.

However, this person was also decisive. The moment the Dharma body collapsed, he self-destructed his primordial spirit, which exploded in the dragon's mouth.

However, in the next instant, the Crimson Dragon activated its Heavenly Dao Divine Power to reverse Yin and Yang. The self-destructing primordial spirit reassembled into a shocked serpent-man celestial primordial spirit under the reversed time flow, which was then swallowed by the Crimson Dragon.

Two of the three celestial immortals were instantly killed, and the sea serpent demon immortal You Mu, who was thrown away, was so frightened that he turned around and flew backward.

But this space has been sealed off by a great formation, so where can we escape to?

With the Ancient Dragon's Primordial Spirit Dharma Form possessing ten times the attributes, the Crimson Dragon accelerated and appeared in front of You Mu first, smashing into him and sending the two enormous creatures crashing to the ground, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

"hiss!"

Painful screams and howls echoed from the chaos, lasting only five seconds before abruptly ceasing.

A few crimson dragons flew out and soared into the sky, just a short distance away from where the dragon whales and demon sharks were engaged in battle.

Before they could even feel the intense heat, the dragon whale and the demon shark retreated. However, their massive size made them slow to react. In the blink of an eye, a burning dragon flew over their heads. Its thick tail swept across, and with a muffled 'bang,' the demon shark was sent flying forty or fifty kilometers. The scales and flesh on its body, which were five or six kilometers in diameter at the point of impact, shattered into a bloody mess, causing a terrifying damage of up to 8 million.

The dragon whale, not far away, was overjoyed and roared as it pounced over.

This was just a casual snapshot taken by Chi Long as he passed by. His target was not the Demon Shark at all, but the snake-man celestial being holding the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl who was confronting Ao Ying.

The enormous commotion caused by the red dragon immediately attracted the attention of the snake-man celestial being. Yu Jun, who had been confronting Ao Ying and hadn't been paying attention to what was happening below, finally noticed that his two subordinates had fallen, and a look of surprise appeared on his face:
"So fast?"

"They're utterly useless."

Whether the insults were directed at his subordinates or other celestial beings, Yu Jun showed no sign of panic; instead, a hint of admiration appeared on his face.
"They certainly have some skill; then let them die with them!"

Pointing a finger, he uttered a soft whisper:

"Dinghai!"

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, which was suspended between him and Ao Ying and was confronting the Dragon Pearl, a mid-grade immortal treasure that Ao Ying had summoned, suddenly emitted a bright blue light. The invisible fluctuations of the water law swept over it, and the seawater quickly solidified.

Then, he opened his mouth and inhaled, and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl flew backward and was swallowed into his mouth. Instantly, his whole body shone brightly, and a sense of desolation and antiquity arose.

"True form of gods and demons!"

Yu Jun's body rapidly expanded, quickly transforming into a demon god's true form, thirty kilometers tall, with four heads, eight arms, and a snake tail. The moment his true form appeared, a violent aura far surpassing that of a celestial being and completely comparable to Su Yu's ancient dragon form swept out.

The head of a celestial being, the head of wrath, the head of evil, and the head of a serpent.

The uppermost two arms embrace the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, the middle upper two arms each hold a divine sword, the middle lower two arms hold a bow, and the lowermost two arms hold a shield in one hand and a precious seal in the other.

To Su Yu's surprise, most of the six weapons and magical treasures this person held, including the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, were actually celestial treasures.

Both divine swords are low-grade immortal treasures, and the shield is also a low-grade defensive immortal treasure. The other treasure seal and bow are not immortal treasures, but they are top-grade magic weapons with a spirit level of +7 or higher, and they will be upgraded to immortal treasures soon.

"Wow, what a fortune."

Normally, even a single celestial treasure is hard to obtain, yet he possesses four celestial treasures, one of which is an innate celestial treasure.

"hiss!"

Su Yu and Ao Ying both felt a chill run down their spines. Su Yu immediately sent a telepathic message to Ao Ying:
"My transformation can last for another forty seconds. Once that time is up, I won't be a match for him."

Ao Ying immediately replied:

"I have no other way to deal with it. Although this treasure is powerful, it is not strong enough to defeat it."

Su Yu asked decisively:

"Is there any way to escape from this great formation?"

"I have a method to tear a hole in the great formation so that everyone can evacuate. You need to cover me for ten seconds."

"Without further ado."

The red dragon pounced on the true form of the water god without hesitation.

Ao Ying immediately put away the magical treasure, turned around and rushed to the edge of the great formation. He took out a sharp dragon finger that shone with a faint light and pressed it against the light screen of the city protection formation. The fingernail shone with a faint light and pierced through the light screen.

Just then, Yu Jun, who had just completed his transformation, noticed this scene and threw the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl in his hand at Ao Ying.

"Roar!"

The crimson dragon's massive body shifted sideways, and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl struck its body. From the point of impact, nearly a thousand meters of flesh and dragon scales were reduced to dust, directly blasting a hole over a thousand meters in diameter and nearly two hundred meters deep into the dragon's body.

"hiss!"

This is after the Ancient Dragon has transformed and all attributes are multiplied by ten. If it were in its untransformed state, this attack would probably have directly taken away half of its body.

"court death!"

Having missed its target, Yu Juntian appeared enraged, taking heavy steps forward and bringing down two low-grade immortal weapons, each forty kilometers long, to meet the attack head-on.

The red dragon met the attack head-on without hesitation.

"boom!"

Crimson and azure bursts of intense light collide violently in the frozen seawater, the violent impact sweeping in all directions. Yu Jun's four heads simultaneously let out a terrifying roar, his eight arms swung like wheels, the treasure seal smashed into the dragon's head, and the forty-kilometer-long divine blade, with a terrifying sharpness that could tear everything apart, slashed fiercely at the crimson dragon's claws.

A piercing metallic clang, mixed with the shriek of energy annihilation, exploded out. The crimson crystalline dragon scales on the dragon's claws, harder than any immortal treasure, shattered instantly, and lava-like dragon blood splattered, evaporating the surrounding solidified seawater into scalding lava blood mist.

However, the terrifying power of ten times the attribute also backfired on the divine sword through the dragon claw.

"Bang, bang."

The divine blade was sent flying backward by an unimaginable reaction force. The arm holding the blade and the real body were shaken violently. Yu Jun angrily let out a painful groan, reached out and grabbed back the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, and then smashed it down with his hammer.

"boom!"

The crimson dragon's massive body shuddered violently, unleashing a terrifying damage of 26 billion, which, along with countless shattered flesh and lava dragon blood, formed a blood ring that exploded outwards.

"Roar!"

The Crimson Dragon roared in agony, its body flying behind the true form of the Demon God. Its dragon claws swiftly pierced the Demon God's body and pulled it downwards. The power of the ancient dragon erupted, and even the Demon God's true form could not withstand it. It was pulled down by the immense force and looked up to see the Crimson Dragon's mouth spewing a scorching breath that resembled molten lava.

"The Fire of Origin!"

Su Yu directly activated his own source power, causing his breath to become extremely powerful, like molten lava pouring over the demon god's true form.

Yu Jun let out a painful roar, gripping the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl in his hand. The power of the Water Law transformed into blue light, sweeping across his entire body like flowing water, washing away the lava covering him. The celestial being's face, scorched beyond recognition by the lava's breath, was now as dark as water. He clasped the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl together and uttered a low shout:
"The world is in turmoil!"

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl shone with a brilliant blue light, activating the seawater wherever it touched. The essence of the Gui Water within the sea was condensed by an invisible force into countless deep blue water dragons, which crashed into the Crimson Dragon from all directions, above and below, with a terrifying, overwhelming force. There was no way to avoid it.

The attack was not just from the deep blue water dragons formed by the elites of the Gui Water; this was merely a manifestation. The true force that was overwhelming was the entire sea area propelled by the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

As long as he is in this sea area, he will have no way to avoid it.

"So this is the unlocked magical treasure!"

The flames in the crimson dragon's pupils contracted, and the tenfold attribute brought by the ancient dragon's primordial spirit still seemed somewhat weak in the face of the immense power of heaven and earth drawn by the innate immortal treasure.

But he wouldn't give up. He took a deep breath, his heart pounding violently, his blood burning like lava, releasing even more powerful energy to form a flowing lava dragon armor on his body, ready to withstand the attack.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

Countless incredibly heavy water dragons crashed into the red dragon. Each impact was like a planet crashing down on its head. The red dragon's lava dragon armor twisted and shattered violently. The dragon scales beneath the armor were crushed and fell off, and the flesh and blood turned into dust. The lava-like dragon blood continued to evaporate.

The enormous dragon was like a small boat in a storm, its incomparably powerful body constantly twisted and shattered by the invisible hand formed by the power of heaven and earth.
-
6 billion
-
7 billion
-
6 billion
-
8 billion

In just four or five seconds, more than half of the 60 billion health points had been lost.

If it were any other celestial being, they would have perished in that short time.

However, the powerful force bestowed upon him by the true form of the ancient dragon's primordial spirit saved his life. In addition, the life law continuously restored him, allowing him to withstand the immense power of heaven and earth that could easily kill a celestial being.

"The flame of life".

A flame brimming with powerful life force surged from the dragon scales, rapidly restoring the ancient dragon's health and mana.

"Such a strong vitality!"

The eyes of Tianxian Xingluo of the Tianyan Clan gleamed with a strange light, his mouth watering with longing.

"Such powerful vitality and physique, even if it's just a demon immortal's primordial spirit, it's stronger than a mythical template demon soul of the same level. If only we could capture it and refine it..."

"It's a pity there's no chance."

He raised his gaze, glancing at the demon god's true form holding the precious pearl out of the corner of his eye. On the other side, Ao Ying was deeply piercing the sharp dragon finger, which emitted a ghostly light, into the light barrier of the great array. It had already pierced a hole large enough for an ordinary person to escape through. The faint ghostly light spread through the spiderweb-like cracks around the opening, constantly eroding and expanding the area of ​​the hole.

All the celestial beings gathered behind Ao Ying, joining forces to resist the destruction and obstruction of the remaining celestial beings from the sea serpent camp.

However, at this point, the remaining Celestial Immortals on the Sea Serpent's side were fewer than those on the Dragon Clan's side, and their overall strength was also inferior. They were powerless to stop them and could only watch helplessly as the rift grew larger and larger until it was large enough for them to escape.

"Brother Su, prepare to evacuate!"

A clear shout startled the Crimson Dragon, who was being beaten senseless by the Demon God's true form wielding the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. The dragon's eyes darted around and it saw the widened cave entrance, indicating that someone had already escaped. It immediately perked up, its massive body spun around, smashed past the Demon God's true form, and flew backward.

Although it was constantly being beaten up, the power of the Demon God's true form lay in the fact that even the Red Dragon couldn't stop it with the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, and its physical strength was still no match for the Red Dragon's tenfold attribute burst.

In the blink of an eye, they had traversed over a hundred miles and arrived not far from the rift.

Seeing that the Crimson Dragon was about to escape, Yu Jun's four heads, each with a different expression, shouted sharply:

"Block him."

The sea serpent clan experts who were intercepting other celestial beings immediately turned around and blocked the red dragon.

"court death!"

The Crimson Dragon lunged forward, slamming the unavoidable Sea Serpent Immortal Youmu against the protective array's light barrier. Its two dragon claws plunged into the serpent's head and body, unleashing two bursts of damage totaling 9 million. Then, the dragon opened its mouth, its four three-kilometer-long fangs biting down hard on Youmu's neck. With a violent tug, half of the immortal's neck was torn open, dealing a terrifying 15 billion damage, killing her instantly.

Three strikes instantly killed a demon immortal, shocking the remaining celestial immortals so much that they stopped in their tracks and dared not move forward. They could only watch helplessly as the enormous crimson dragon transformed into a dragon-shaped flame, rapidly shrinking and disappearing into the crack to escape.

"grass!"

The demon god arrived and slammed a powerful punch into the light barrier, but did not pursue it.

The divine and demonic true form attached to his Sea-Stabilizing Pearl also has a duration, not much longer than the ancient dragon primordial spirit transformation of the Crimson Dragon. Now, if he rushes out, he won't be able to stop anyone.

Although the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is powerful, the opponent also has a mid-grade immortal treasure that can block it.

Without the true form of a god or demon, there is indeed a risk of failure.

He was furious, while the many celestial beings who had already escaped showed no joy on their faces.

"This time, a crushing defeat!"

Ao Ying sighed and said to Su Yu:

"Let's gather the remaining troops first and then return to Dragon Fortress."

Su Yu glanced back and saw that the army of over 100 million had dwindled to less than 10 million, with the vast majority having perished. This included the dozens of level 200 true dragons and thousands of flood dragons, as well as Ao Ying's giant tortoise mount carrying the main hall.

That giant tortoise was over level 300, but it was not a demon immortal but a wild beast. It did not know the art of transformation. A small cave immortal could squeeze out of the cave at will, but a wild beast of such a large size could not.

The group returned, with the three-headed dragon flying at the top. Ao Ying said to Su Yu:

"Brother Su, rest assured, although we have lost, the three great achievements mentioned before will not be diminished."

Su Yu waved her hand and said:
"Since we've lost, let's just forget about it and wait for next time."

Ao Ying laughed:

"Brother Su, please don't refuse. Since I have made a promise, I will not go back on it. Also, don't take this defeat to heart. Victory and defeat are common sense in war. If we lose this time, we can win next time."

"I just didn't expect the sea serpent clan to have such an expert. I've never seen one before. I guess they were transferred from somewhere else. Next time, I'll have to be more prepared before making any plans."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu's heart stirred, and she asked:

"Brother Ao, do you have a way to deal with that person? Could you please ask a true immortal to help?"

Ao Ying first nodded, then shook her head and said:
"There is a solution, of course, but it's not about asking a true immortal to take action. According to the unspoken rules between the two sides, we cannot ask a true immortal to take action. Otherwise, if both sides ask a true immortal to take action, we will easily be caught in the crossfire and die in the midst of a great battle."

"I plan to spend some merit to invite a celestial master to take action, and with Brother Su's cooperation, we will surely be able to stop him."

"Can the expert that Brother Ao Ying hired kill him?"

"It's difficult. Defeating him is easy, but killing him is not."

"Well"

"What? Do you have a grudge against him?"

"No, I was just asking out of curiosity."

He dared not let anyone know that he had his eye on the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl in Yu Jun's possession; the fewer people who knew about this treasure, the better.

"We still need to think of other ways."

"Should we call upon an expert?"

"No, even Golden Immortals would covet this innate treasure. If we really hire a master to kill him, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl will definitely be taken by a big shot."

"Or perhaps we could get a talisman of Xuanxian or higher from somewhere, which might be enough to kill him."

"But it's wrong to ask where to get the Mystic Immortal Talisman!"

Su Yu suddenly paused, a memory surfacing in her mind.

"Eclipse Blood Seal!"

"I forgot about that."

This thing can be used to invite the Mysterious Immortal Ancestor Eclipse Moon to take action remotely after paying a certain price. With the combat power of an old Mysterious Immortal like Eclipse Moon, he will definitely be able to kill that snake-man Celestial Immortal Yu Jun.

"Luckily, I haven't had time to go to Tianzhu Mountain to exchange for it, otherwise I would have been really at a loss."

Unfortunately, now that he has transformed into a true dragon, he cannot take it out. Su Yu is somewhat impatient and plans to find a quiet place behind the Dragon Fortress to properly understand the Eclipse Moon Blood Seal and see what price the Eclipse Moon Ancestor would require to make a move.

With the possibility of killing Yu Jun, Su Yu was in high spirits. He continued on his way while chatting with Ao Ying. By the time they arrived near Dragon Fortress after traveling hundreds of millions of kilometers, Su Yu had a pretty good understanding of the Dragon Alliance.

Dragon Fortress is a core stronghold of the Dragon Alliance in the East Sea, built on a sixth-grade top-quality spiritual vein. Within a radius of millions of kilometers, there are seven sixth-grade mid-to-low-grade spiritual veins, dozens of fifth-grade spiritual veins, and thousands of fourth-grade spiritual veins.

The entire Dragon Fortress is the collective name for this area with a diameter of over one million kilometers, which is encompassed by a super composite array of a grade seven.

Enormous and magnificent.

But what shocked Su Yu the most was that, among the underwater mountains outside Dragon Castle, there was a bottomless abyss with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, from which countless monsters surged out every second, rushing in all directions.

A super water eye, a super monster spawn point.

Every second, hundreds of millions of monsters of all sizes emerge, with the lowest level being over 100. High-level monsters exceeding 200 levels occasionally spawn, and sometimes even super monsters over 300 levels appear.

These super monsters will be subdued by Dragon Castle as soon as they appear.

"No wonder."

No wonder Ao Ying wasn't worried about the nearly 100 million casualties in the previous battle. It turns out that Longbao has a super water eye, so there's a constant supply of cannon fodder. He won't feel bad no matter how many die.

Led by Ao Ying, Su Yu entered the Dragon Fortress. Ao Ying first settled the fees with the many Celestial Immortals from various races, and they all took their leave.

Tianyan Xingluo sent Su Yu a friend request, which Su Yu immediately declined.

Then Huanglong Aorong led his many surviving subordinates back to their camp. Ao Ying transformed back into human form and said to Su Yu:
"I'll take you back first. After you register and have your bloodline verified, you will receive the identity and status you deserve."

With a thought, Su Yu transformed back into human form and bowed:

"Thank you, Brother Ao Ying."

Ao Ying raised an eyebrow upon seeing Su Yu in human form and asked in surprise:

"Your true form is a member of the Chosen Human Race?"

Su Yu felt a little uneasy:

"Any questions?"

"No."

Ao Ying explained with a smile:
"My dragon bloodline is hidden among countless races, even the sea serpent race has it. As long as the bloodline is purified and transformed into a true dragon, they are all my people."

"Oh."

"Come on, I'll take you to see my father first."

"Please lead the way, brother."

Two figures soared into the sky and quickly traversed hundreds of thousands of kilometers to reach the depths of Dragon Castle. In the distance, they saw towering peaks surrounded by dense spiritual energy in the center of Dragon Castle, and powerful dragons of various colors coiled around the peaks.
