Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 296 - 206: Calamity Shifted Eastward, Demon Immortal’s Essence Blood
After considering all possibilities carefully, Su Yu flicked his fingers continuously, sending out waves of Sword Qi into the void without activating them, deploying a Sword Array with a total of seven thousand rays of Sword Qi.
He took a deep breath and summoned the Cyan Gang and Purple Thunder Dual Swords, the two flying swords hovered in front of him with their sword lights flickering unpredictably.
Su Yu looked up at the distant Evil Dragon Fire Beast, pointed a finger, and a phantom of the Hundred-eyed Demon Spider rose above his head. A hundred divine lights pierced through the sky and struck the Evil Dragon Fire Beast, which was gnawing on a Gold Crystal, causing its head to shake and its body to sway, though it did not fall unconscious.
He decisively activated the Wind God’s Order, binding it with Divine Wind.
Withdrawing his gaze, he flicked his fingers to send two beams of light into the twin swords, and shouted:
"Thunder Gang!"
"Thunder-controlling Divine Power!"
The two flying swords erupted with thunderous light, their power surging wildly.
He seized both swords in his hands, combining them into a single dazzling sword light.
"Go!"
The surging sword light flashed and disappeared. In the next instant, a massive wound appeared on the back of the Evil Dragon Fire Beast, spewing golden-red blood that quickly transformed into flames.
"Roar!"
The Fire Beast howled but was unable to move under the restraint of the Wind God’s Order.
After all, being an eighth-grade magic artifact, it could even trap an Earth Immortal for a moment.
Su Yu drove the combined swords to frantically slash at the immobilized boss, slicing from head to tail in the blink of an eye, inflicting up to eleven hits per second, totaling a terrifying two million and five hundred thousand damage in an instant.
However, the unexpected high instant damage caused the boss to erupt, flames erupting from its body, flames infused with the Power of Law directly breaking through the Divine Wind Power, covering its entire body with a thick fire shield, the sword light slicing and flying but remained unmoved.
The stabilized Evil Dragon Fire Beast inhaled deeply, and the transparent flame flows omnipresent in the void converged into its mouth, the next second spouting a stream of golden flames.
Su Yu moved laterally to dodge the breath while directing the combined swords to launch a fierce attack, simultaneously pulling out the Wind-Fire Vajra Wheel and throwing it out, quickly transforming into a rapidly spinning hundred-zhang golden wheel slashing over.
This magic artifact, although only a seventh-grade fine item, inflicted physical and wind-fire mixed damage, boasting 20000+100% magic damage up to 48000, being a rare magic artifact that could breach defenses and deal a certain output.
Even though the output was not impressive after deducting defense, it was better than having none.
After a missed breath, the Evil Dragon Fire Beast chased closely, spewing a barrage of Binghuo Divine Thunder like a machine gun.
The countless Binghuo Divine Thunders scattered across a radius of ten kilometers, making it impossible to dodge, but Su Yu remained calm, activating the accessory’s Flame Law protection with a thought, an invisible shimmer encircling his body, instantly dissipating the omnipresent heat in space.
Over a thousand Binghuo Divine Thunders exploded, the terrifying Power of Law sweeping over ten kilometers, yet merely like a gentle breeze brushing one’s face.
The Binghuo Divine Thunder was a mix of thunder and fire, but infused only with the Fire Element Law and not the Thunder Law, once the Fire Element Law was nullified, the thunder power was like a drizzle to him.
This Evil Dragon Fire Beast wasn’t particularly intelligent, seeing the Binghuo Divine Thunder was ineffective, it prepared to activate other Magic.
But by this time, it had just stepped into the Sword Array’s range, Su Yu decisively extended his hand in a virtual grip:
"Rise!"
The Sword Array manifested, and seven thousand Sword Qi erupted, instantly breaking the fire shield, the remaining Sword Qi wrathing around the Evil Dragon Fire Beast, sparks splattering but completely unable to breach the defense.
Su Yu immediately drove the combined swords around the Evil Dragon Fire Beast, easily slicing off another over two million Qi and Blood.
"Stay steady."
A trace of joy appeared on Su Yu’s face, the Sword Array could reform once more, could break the fire shield once more, providing at least ten seconds round trip, enough to overpower the boss.
Yet his smile just appeared when he saw the Evil Dragon Fire Beast raised its head and roared, a massive amount of energy gathered around its body forming a thick layer of flame armor, the flying sword slashed at it directly shaving off most of it, the damage only just above fifty thousand.
"Damn."
The Evil Dragon Fire Beast then inhaled fiercely, gathering more flames, accompanied by a muffled hum, and unleashed a circle of substantial firewaves, exploding indiscriminately.
Su Yu had no power to resist, being blasted away and forcibly pushed through layer upon layer of substantial firewaves over ten kilometers away, also exceeding the maximum Sword Control range.
"Damn, is this a Fire Ring?"
This is a basic fire-type magic similar to Fireball, Fire Shield, and Fire Rain, yet under the Power of Law’s enhancement becomes exaggerated.
Currently, his Sword Control Range is only two layers, the farthest Sword Control Attack Distance is merely 10 kilometers, beyond this range the control power over the flying swords drops sharply, the farther the distance, the weaker the control.
For high-demand swordsmanship techniques like forcing two swords to unite, just as he was hit and blasted over ten kilometers in less than a second, the combined swords automatically collapsed and scattered.
"Misjudged, retreat."
He decisively recalled the twin swords, turning to run.
The Evil Dragon Fire Beast opened its mouth, launching a continuous barrage of Binghuo Divine Thunders, its massive body soaring to pursue him.
But its speed was far inferior to Su Yu’s, quickly being left far behind.
"Hmm?"
The fleeing Su Yu suddenly spotted three figures ahead to the left, soon realizing it was three Horned Demon Earth Immortals, one of them was even a familiar face.
He immediately activated the Mirage Dragon Pearl to change his appearance, brushing past them from a kilometer away in the blink of an eye.
Of course, the three Horned Demon Loose Immortals noticed Su Yu, but the environmental interference was severe, and the speed was fast, only recognizing it was a Human Race without immediately recognizing him, just as the three were contemplating whether to chase, they heard a deafening beast roar, and the massive Evil Dragon Fire Beast flew over.
"Law Monster?"
"At this level, there’s a significant chance to drop a law fragment."
The three people’s eyes lit up and immediately abandoned the thought of pursuit, instantly making a decision:
"Let’s go together and take down this law monster."
The three immediately summoned their flying sword magical artifacts and intercepted the Evil Dragon Fire Beast.
The beast, with limited intelligence, instantly forgot what just happened when intercepted, opening its mouth to spew a stream of blazing white flames.
"You wretched beast, seeking death!"
Qilike raised the thunder hammer in his hand, sending a thick arc of purple lightning crashing into the Evil Dragon Fire Beast, causing it to stand paralyzed for several seconds.
A hundred kilometers away, Su Yu stopped when he sensed the BOSS did not catch up and immediately turned back.
Soon, he arrived at the area where both sides were fighting, observing from a distance the techniques of the three Horned Demon Loose Immortals, before turning away to head towards the place he first found the Evil Dragon Fire Beast.
Taking advantage of the BOSS being distracted by them, he planned to first retrieve that golden crystal.
Among the three Horned Demon Loose Immortals, besides Qilike who possessed moderate swordsmanship skills, the other two followed the standard Qi refinement system, not knowing swordsmanship but mastering various Daoist techniques, thunder skills, and forbidden arts supplemented by various magical artifacts.
Their advantage was their strong functionality and burst methods, with no apparent weaknesses.
However, they lacked Su Yu’s powerful burst techniques like dual sword combination or over-drawing future strength, incapable of delivering instant annihilation, having to wear it down slowly, so they didn’t fear taking down the Evil Dragon Fire Beast temporarily.
Su Yu quickly returned to the location of the golden crystal and flew up, immediately facing a strong oppressive force.
"Demon immortal essence blood?"
He reached out and touched the crystal, revealing its attributes.
Demon Immortal Essence Blood: Fire-type demon immortal’s lost essence blood, contains a trace of remaining demon immortal will.
Attributes: Consumption increases physique by +3000, strength by +3000, qi and blood by +30000, qi and blood regeneration by +300, life span limit by +100 years, and can excavate one’s bloodline, with a very small chance of obtaining a demon immortal bloodline.
Note: The demon immortal bloodline contains the power of law, with a significant possibility of changing one’s race, transforming into a human demon, with a very small chance of completely transforming into a demon.
Note: The demon immortal essence blood contains a trace of remaining demon immortal will, which has a chance of seizing and rebirthing through the essence blood after refinement.
"Damn, such a large piece is just a drop of blood?"
"How big must the demon immortal’s body be?"
"And the side effects of this thing are too exaggerated, aren’t they?"
Su Yu circled the essence blood and noticed marks of claws and teeth everywhere on its surface. However, the item was incredibly hard, and the claw and teeth marks weren’t deep. The Evil Dragon Fire Beast had only scratched a thin layer from the surface despite gnawing for so long.
He compared it with his hand, noting that the teeth marks were less than a finger deep. Based on the size of this essence blood, it would take several years to scrape it down completely.
He placed his hand on the demon immortal essence blood and activated the Little All Heaven Cloud Forbidden Skill, with a thought:
"Collect!"
Countless tiny runes shimmered into the essence blood, causing the demon immortal essence blood to tremble and begin to shrink slowly.
As he began collecting the demon immortal essence blood, the Evil Dragon Fire Beast amidst the battlefield several hundred kilometers away suddenly sensed something, roared to the sky, and stopped entangling with them, turning to flee.
The three Horned Demon Loose Immortals, oblivious to what had happened, wouldn’t let it escape, eagerly activating magical artifacts to intercept it, provoking the BOSS into furious roars but unable to break through.
On the other side, Su Yu continuously condensed the All Heaven Cloud Forbidden Skill’s light into the demon immortal essence blood. As the runes gradually penetrated deep into the essence blood, its shrinking accelerated, eventually reducing to a fist-sized ball which he stored away after five minutes.
"This is truly a treasure."
Despite not being a body cultivator, the added base attributes alone were considerable.
Although the increased physique, strength, and qi and blood were not immediately useful, they could bolster his foundation for future Foundation Establishment, becoming part of his strength.
With his capability, at least a First-Grade Dao Foundation or even a Super-grade Immortal Foundation was possible in the future. By then, he could condensate a Dharma body, with now-enhanced physique, strength, and qi and blood serving as a basic boost.
Enhancing physique by 10000 now might mean an increase of 20000 when condensing the true body later.
After securing this treasure, Su Yu immediately masked his presence and cautiously approached the battlefield.
Within a minute, he heard a tremendous boom from ahead, drawing close enough to see the Evil Dragon Fire Beast clashing with the three Horned Demon Loose Immortals in the distance.
Just as he approached, Horned Demon Loose Immortal Nai Ke, who was driving the magical artifact, suddenly halted and turned, his pupils lighting up with sharp light, snorting coldly:
"Human rat, only daring to sneak around."
He raised his hand, and flames omnipresent in this realm gathered into a capturing hand, slapping down toward Su Yu.
"Indeed, the second layer of the Jiezhi Concealment Skill isn’t enough yet."
Without hesitation, Su Yu turned to flee, nimbly slipping through the still-open fingers, rushing into the world’s depths without looking back.
If there was no chance to fish in troubled waters, so be it. Better to search for more demon immortal essence blood instead of entangling further.
Such treasures are always good to have more of, and finding four or five more would be delightful.
Apart from this, there still were numerous flaming spirit fires in this domain that could continue to be collected.
Half an hour later, while collecting flaming spirit fires along the way, Su Yu saw layers of shockwaves rolling from the front, the sweeping vibrations still reminiscent enough to make his heart beat faster.
This time, however, he didn’t turn back, but instead masked his presence to fly toward the direction from which the shockwaves came.
