Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 292 - 202: Flame Shelter, Wonders of Heaven and Earth
Innate water thunders exploded into cold tides, then recombined to form thunders and exploded again, cycling endlessly, perpetually.
The fire sprite stood motionless within the fire shield, casually releasing a fireball, and then reached towards the void. Fire clouds gathered, and countless fire rains fell.
"Bang!"
Fireballs carrying the Power of Law ignored evasions, directly blasting apart Su Yu’s reconstructed protective shield. The flames on his body flared up again, dealing damage over ten thousand per second despite the defense being inconsequential, but the scorching burning through to his soul made him suffer immensely.
"This thing is outrageous."
Fortunately, his Qi and Blood was high enough, nearly a million health would keep burning for a long time, enough to eliminate this thing.
"Bang!"
The fire shield withstood over ten rounds of cold tide explosions before it finally shattered under the strain.
"Now’s the chance."
He decisively released Ao Run, throwing it out. The true dragon rapidly expanded, transforming into a real dragon coiled above his head. Numerous fire rains fell, the dragon scales quickly scorched black, with blood loss exceeding ten thousand per second.
"Wow, it’s hot here."
"Profound Court Immortal Finger!"
Seizing the moment when the target’s fire shield was breached and trapped by cold tides, Su Yu immediately struck.
A jade-like finger over ten meters plunged into the cold tide, then he gathered two strands of Sword Qi, throwing them down, enclosing and combining around the fire sprite.
Simultaneously, his hands waved continuously, emitting strand after strand of Sword Qi, exploding before the sword net could form.
At this moment, the awakened Ao Run opened its mouth, releasing a Meridian Cold Tide that stacked with the innate water thunders’ cold tide, forcibly freezing the fire sprite, then opened its mouth to spit out a Tier Nine Dragon Pearl like a shooting star.
Without the protection of a fire shield carrying the Power of Law, the fire sprite could only rely on its own Qi and Blood to withstand.
Just the intense attack of hundreds of Sword Qi alone took out half of the fire sprite’s Qi and Blood, then the stacking cold tides, intertwined sword exudes, and finally, the lethal blow of Ao Run’s spitting Dragon Pearl.
This item was a Tier Nine Treasure, a single pearl smashing down with a force reaching fifty thousand, directly cracking the severely wounded fire sprite into pieces.
"At last, killed it."
Su Yu exhaled a long breath, Sword Qi wrapped up the loot, swiftly retrieving the just defeated Purple and Cyan Twin Swords.
This thing was only level 121, with a health of slightly above one million, yet it was one of the most ridiculous opponents Su Yu had ever encountered, barely taken down after exhausting all means.
If this thing could still raise a fire shield, he estimated he would need to transform into a dragon to take it down.
Having stowed the loot, Su Yu immediately exited this spatial rift, inside the few large-scale spells he had just used attracted fire sprites, but they didn’t pursue him out of the rift, gathering at the rift’s entrance, glaring intently.
"That was brutal."
Su Yu checked himself, his body empty, only left with three Tier Seven pieces of equipment: Golden Feather Robe, Immortal Spirit Stone, and Golden Turtle Ring; all other equipment below Tier Seven were burnt by the Law’s fire.
"Damn it, if there’s no good stuff I’m gonna lose it."
Opening the light sphere, there was only one loot inside, an Eighth Tier piece of equipment.
Flame Shelter (Tier Eight): Accessory, treasure, containing a fragment of the Power of Law from a fire sprite’s essence.
Attribute: Fire Resistance +20000.
Attribute: Flame Law Shelter, when activated, immune to fires below Celestial Immortal level, level one Celestial Immortal fire damage reduced by 50%, lasts for 30 seconds, cooldown 24 hours.
"Good stuff."
Though not the most desired Law fragment, an Eighth Tier treasure piece is still fine, the twenty thousand fire resist essentially immunizes against fire-type spells below level 100. Once activated with attached magic, fire-type bosses below Celestial Immortal level can’t harm him at all, effectively invincible under certain conditions.
Su Yu immediately equipped the accessory.
Just right, the Demon Blood Stone and Black Water Profound Pearl accessories previously were all scrapped, leaving the accessory slots empty.
Next, he took out the previously broken Cyan Cloud Cover and Cyan Gang and Purple Thunder Dual Swords, each re-sacrificed once.
Feeling ready again, he charged back into the spatial rift.
This time, no longer daring to stand openly in the sky to withstand the attack but kept moving continually. Normal fire sprite attacks couldn’t catch up to his speed, only attacks from Law monsters could, immediately activating the Qingyun Cover’s Cloud Protection was enough to handle.
Unfortunately, there were too few Law monsters; there had already been one in the area, which basically made encountering another impossible.
Using a day’s time, he zealously killed away the fire spirits at the spatial rift’s mouth, after which he left without looking back for another place.
Inside the rift were countless fire spirits; with the Flame Shelter accessory, not even the bosses within could do anything to him.
But the reason Su Yu left was because the inner world of such rift spaces was too unstable, easy to collapse, if he entered too deep and true incident occurred, escape would be too late.
His main goal right now was finding Law monsters and accumulating cultivation, not exploring within battlefields, avoiding taking such risks.
After leaving this place, he moved to another place to continue.
Once done killing, he continued to change location, anyway not venturing deep in the rift.
"Eh?"
"There are still remnants of ruins within this rift?"
Above the sea of lava, there was a massive platform floating on the magma, with a diameter of several kilometers, its edges incomplete, and everywhere was littered with collapsed pavilions and terraces.
But all these structures had lost their spirituality, and there was no treasure light; it was clear at a glance that they were worthless.
Moreover, this platform was located near the spatial rift, so anyone passing by would see it. If there were any treasures, they would have been looted long ago.
Su Yu didn’t get close; he simply watched from afar for a while before leaving.
Half an hour later, he discovered a giant floating island with a diameter exceeding two kilometers, faintly visible with some brilliance flickering on its back.
Su Yu immediately became interested and quickly approached, circling the island to the other side. After the world flipped, he saw that there were already people on the island. A large flying ship was hovering in the air, with more than a dozen people on board working together to eliminate the twisted spirit monsters stationed on the island, as well as the thunder eagles continuously striking lightning from the sky. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Su Yu’s attention was immediately drawn to a lightning pillar erupting from the top of a giant peak in the center of the island, an unusual phenomenon that suggested good things.
"People!"
The people on the ship also noticed Su Yu, who did not hide his presence, immediately becoming wary. But seeing that he was also of the Human Race, they relaxed slightly, though they did not completely let down their guard.
Su Yu took a glance and saw that there were 14 people aboard; three were Loose Immortals, and the rest were all experts, with Qi Refining Skills over ninety levels.
He didn’t want to compete with them and waved his hand, saying:
"Just passing by, goodbye."
He then turned and left.
"He’s gone."
Several people watched him leave and then sighed in relief, but a Loose Immortal leader in the center turned to one of them and said:
"Be cautious; even here, we can’t trust those of the same race. Xiao Bin, go check to make sure he’s gone before you come back."
"Okay."
Su Yu’s strong six senses quickly detected the figure following him. He smiled and sped up to leave.
Before long, that floating island was out of sight. After subduing several groups of twisted spirit monsters in succession, he crossed an abyss and saw a massive flame tornado standing in the distance, connecting heaven and earth.
The flame tornado had a diameter of more than a dozen kilometers, extending deep into the abyss without an end in sight, rising so high as to be beyond view. Surrounding it were blazing white flame streams, interspersed with countless twisted spirit monster figures.
In the vicinity of this tornado were many spatial rifts; three of them were particularly large, stretching over ten kilometers long and four to five hundred meters high, each with its own peculiarities.
One was a common lava world, filled with dense flame elementals.
Another was a world half-filled with water and half with flames, saturated with steam, making it impossible to see clearly inside. Occasionally, large figures loomed faintly in the steam.
A third was a world covered in yellow sand, inhabited by many exotic beasts and spirit monsters, many of which Su Yu had never seen before.
After surveying the scene, Su Yu’s gaze returned to the central towering flame tornado. Usually, such natural wonders harbor Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or naturally formed treasures.
He surveyed the area a bit, concealed his aura, and silently flew towards the central flame tornado.
The space here was chaotic and extremely unstable, riddled with spatial rifts of various sizes. While flying, he occasionally touched these small spatial rifts, causing his cloud protection aura to flicker violently with ripples.
"What a chaotic place."
In just a short distance of ten kilometers, he collided with three or four dozen small spatial rifts, the frequency of which made Su Yu frown.
Fortunately, his cloud protection aura’s defense was strong enough; otherwise, such collisions would have shattered the aura for any ordinary Loose Immortal.
Luckily, there was no rush. Flying for a while and resting another, after almost half an hour, he finally arrived near the flame tornado, already able to see the rapidly spinning incandescent flame streams in the void.
However, his gaze quickly shifted from these incandescent flame streams to the lower regions.
At the base of the colossal flame tornado, there was a huge fiery vortex. Beneath the vortex was a large broken void, from which the fiery vortex and the colossal flame tornado were spewing out.
The so-called broken void was essentially an enlarged version of a spatial rift, but instead of a long, narrow strip, it was a circular void.
"There must be something good inside this broken void."
Logically speaking, the fringe of the Ancient Battlefield would have been thoroughly explored by adventurers from various races long ago, leaving no such natural marvels.
The fact that he could see this now indicated that the broken void had appeared recently.
"Could it be that I’m so lucky?"
Su Yu smacked his lips, then looked up again at the incandescent flame streams shuttling back and forth above the flame tornado.
Each stream was thirty to fifty meters in diameter, a few hundred meters long for the short ones, and up to over a kilometer for the long ones. They were intensely hot, with the heat being distinctly felt even without close proximity, clearly not ordinary flames.
Moreover, upon closer inspection of their flight paths, they did not seem like dead objects. His strong sixth sense faintly perceived that there might be something within them.
Whether it was a living creature or a flame spiritual object was uncertain.
He guessed that the likelihood of flame spiritual objects was higher.
After contemplating briefly, Su Yu summoned the Cyan Gang and Purple Thunder Dual Swords, but just as he was about to activate them, he thought of something and stowed them away, retrieving the Cyan Gang and Purple Thunder Dual Swords from the flying sword case, replacing them with the Thunderbolt and Thousand Jins Dual Swords and sent them out.
The two sword beams plunged into the nearest incandescent flame stream, but before they could do anything, he felt the flying swords sustain damage and quickly recalled them.
