Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 298 - 208: Tallying the Spoils, Rare Treasure: Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer
Within the realm, after the red dragon annihilated three Loose Immortals, it instantly discarded them behind, raised its dragon head, and gazed into the distance.
A True Dragon of over two hundred levels could ignore the restrictions of this realm. In its eyes, the world was clear and bright; it could see ten thousand miles away, clearly observing the Blazing Flame Spiritual Light flooding this world, the monsters similar to the Evil Dragon Fire Beasts, as well as two sealed Demon Immortal remnants and scattered Demon Immortal essence blood.
Besides these, there were five human Loose Immortals.
Two of them were approaching a Demon Immortal remnant, while three were besieging a level 180 Flame Spirit Power Law Monster.
Moreover, the Power of Law chains on the two sealed Demon Immortal remains extended deep into the lower part of the realm, but were not imagined to be trapped on something. In the True Dragon’s vision, those chains extended downwards for thousands of kilometers before disappearing directly into the void.
This meant that what was suppressing and sealing the Demon Immortal remnants was not an imagined great formation or treasure, but the suppression of this world itself.
"Only 5 minutes and 21 seconds of duration left, what should be done to maximize benefits during the remaining time?!"
Su Yu’s mind raced quickly, and he soon made a decision:
"Kill the Law Monsters, collect Law Fragments and Demon Immortal Essence Blood."
In theory, the most profitable would be to trade with the Demon Immortal, but unfortunately, the original consciousness of the Demon Immortal had been obliterated, making communication impossible.
Or perhaps eliminate the Demon Immortal remnants, but that’s unachievable.
The remaining two ways to maximize value are naturally collecting Law Fragments.
Even if not every Law Monster yields drops, just a few are already a big gain.
Having made the decision, the red dragon merged into the void again, using Fire Escape to travel swiftly, soon arriving before a wandering Flame Spirit without a target.
There weren’t many Spirit Monsters born in this realm, but all were of high level, at least above level 180, yet surprisingly, no Law Monster above level 200 was observed.
The red dragon emerged and burst into action, pinned down the Flame Spirit, and after over twenty seconds, broke through three waves of fire shields, forcibly pinning the target to death.
A seventh rank exquisite magic weapon Fire Gourd was dropped, containing a Flame Essence, capable of summoning up to 108 elite template Flame Spirits of level 110.
Then, with a flick of its dragon tail, it disappeared, reappearing thirty plus seconds later over a thousand kilometers away before a level 192 ultimate template three-headed Fire Peng.
This one took some effort, after a minute plus of struggle, it was forcibly pinned to death, successfully dropping a Law Fragment containing one Power of Law.
Next, it moved horizontally several thousand kilometers, bypassing several Law Monsters of around level 180, and arrived before a level 199 ultimate template nine-headed Fire Flood Dragon.
Time was running out, best to kill the big one first, as the probability of dropping Law Fragments is higher.
Additionally, it discovered that the status of this level 199 nine-headed Fire Flood Dragon seemed different from other Law Monsters. Although other Law Monsters wandered without consciousness, they consciously avoided the Demon Immortal remnants, staying far from the shockwave range of the Demon Immortal remnants.
But this Fire Flood Dragon was different, currently at the edge of a Demon Immortal remnant’s shockwave, seemingly wanting to approach the Demon Immortal remnant, yet struggling.
Half of its nine heads showed a fervent desire to approach, while the other half were filled with struggle, resistance, and fear.
Considering the state of this realm, Su Yu almost instantly guessed why no Law Monsters above level 200 were present; unexpectedly, they were devoured by the Demon Immortal remnants after reaching level 200.
"This realm is specifically used to seal the Demon Immortal, fragmenting its true body into several pieces for sealing, with remnants and consciousness drifting into the void to spawn various Law Monsters."
"Upon reaching a certain stage, which is above level 200, the hidden Demon Immortal will awakens, controlling itself to merge with the true body, gradually expanding the true body’s consciousness."
"Hmm..."
Su Yu looked towards the distant Demon Immortal remnants in great astonishment, feeling a sense of surprise:
"If this holds true, it suggests the Demon Immortal’s original consciousness isn’t entirely obliterated, not completely dead, merely in slumber or in a state between half-dead and half-alive, which explains why it doesn’t react to my approach."
"If there is a way to awaken its original consciousness, perhaps it could open a communication and transaction with the Demon Immortal?"
"But...."
"How to approach and communicate?"
With only instinct left, approaching the Demon Immortal remnants would result in being beaten.
Su Yu didn’t dwell too much on this issue, there would be time later to consider it, for now, he prioritized taking down this big guy during the remaining time.
Transforming into a dragon, with 2 minutes and 35 seconds left, there wasn’t time to worry about having any left later, just unleash the big move.
"Move Stars, Trigger Heaven’s Killing Opportunity!"
The world brightened, a sky full of stars appeared, and the Power of Heavenly Dao descended, suppressing the nine-headed Fire Flood Dragon so it couldn’t move.
The red dragon’s pupils expanded, two dragon eyes burned like two blazing suns, yet emitting no heat, as cold and indifferent as the Heavenly Dao itself.
"Move Stars and Switch Constellations!"
Upon uttering the mantra, heaven and earth fell silent, the body of the nine-headed Fire Flood Dragon suddenly twisted, suffering a terrifying damage of 15 million.
The red dragon trembled under the backlash of the Power of Heavenly Dao, the transformation duration in dragon form decreased by 2 minutes directly, leaving only 27 seconds.
"Enough!"
The red dragon’s burning dragon beard swung, dragon claws lifted, a glorious expanse of starlight and residual Power of Heavenly Dao gathered towards the dragon claws, forming a crystalline light layer enveloping the dragon claws, lightly pressing on the nine-headed Fire Flood Dragon’s head.
"Boom!"
Another terrifying damage of 15 million erupted, shattering the nine-headed Fire Flood Dragon into pieces.
The red dragon was once again counterattacked by the Power of Heavenly Dao. An invisible force swept over the dragon’s body, and in the next second, it shattered like a delicate porcelain.
Returning to his true form, Su Yu immediately reached out and collected the spoils left by the Nine-headed Fire Flood Dragon, quickly opening it with a look of joy on his face.
Inside, there was only one piece of loot, a fragment of law, containing three strands of the Power of Heavenly Dao.
Including the two he had accumulated before, he now held five strands of Power of Law.
"But it’s not enough."
Although not quite sure how much Power of Law is needed to forcibly enhance a sect-level Qi Refining Heart Skill to a supreme level, it certainly isn’t just five strands.
However, having exhausted all means at his disposal, there’s no immediate way to hunt the law monsters.
"Better leave this place and come back next month."
Su Yu wasn’t stubborn; he’d thought it through clearly. There was no way this realm could remain hidden. It wouldn’t be long before it became a focal point of contention between the Human Race and the Horned Demon People, with many experts from both races coming to explore.
Not having yet undergone the tribulation, his conventional combat power was equivalent to an average Loose Immortal, relying on big moves like transforming into a dragon to catch others off guard.
Having used all his big moves, running into two strong Horned Demon people now could easily spell disaster.
First, he would digest the current gains, use the month ahead to accumulate some more dao practice, and elevate other dao skills too.
For instance, the Hundred Eyes Divine Light, the Jiezhi Concealment Skill and Invisibility Skill, and the Five Elements Scripture could enhance his capabilities greatly if improved.
Particularly, the fire escape technique in the Five Elements Scripture was an absolute match in this world, like a fish in water.
Su Yu wasn’t worried about all opportunities in the realm being seized by others. That was impossible. Once news spread, experts from the Human Race and the Horned Demon People would gather, with their struggle for ownership over the realm likely stretching for a long time.
Not to mention the Fire Race and Six-Eared Race wouldn’t just watch and would certainly stir up trouble.
The fight for this realm’s ownership alone could last months or even years without any definite outcome, granting him ample time to reap its benefits.
As for the remains of the demon immortals, he wasn’t interested. The tier was too high and troublesome, leaving it to the top-notch experts to vie for.
He would just enter every month, eliminate some law monsters for law fragments, or collect some Blazing Flame Spiritual Light, which would suffice.
Having made up his mind, Su Yu immediately left.
He retraced his steps to the realm’s broken hollow, squeezed through, and ascended, flying out of the Heavenly Fire Pillar.
Outside, there were two squads, one being Huo Lixing’s team, the other arriving later.
He didn’t meet them, fleeing immediately after coming out.
Two days later, Su Yu left the Ancient Battlefield and arrived at Longwan City, the nearest city to this place.
He chose not to go to Skyfire City because it lacked a military division, whereas Longwan City, located in the northwest of the southern island, was bordered by the Ancient Battlefield to the north and the eastern island occupied by the Horned Demons to the east, making it a major border town with a military division.
Upon arriving at Longwan City, Su Yu promptly contacted the military to report on the realm and its situation.
The military had tasks related to this matter, rewarding contributions based on the importance of any reported discoveries.
Being aware that everyone would soon know about the place anyway, Su Yu decided to earn some merit from it.
He reported everything from the realm’s location to its internal regulations, from the Blazing Flame Spiritual Light to the demon immortal fragments and various law-monster derivations, to the military thoroughly, and finally.....
"We need to verify the credibility and accuracy of your information before determining the reward. We will respond within a week at most."
Su Yu nodded:
"No problem."
Exiting the military division, Su Yu rented a temporary cave abode for a good night’s sleep, sorting through his spoils the next day.
strands of Power of Law.
drop of demon immortal essence blood.
strands of Blazing Flame Spiritual Light.
A seventh-grade premium magical treasure, the Fire Essence Gourd.
And the spoils from three Horned Demon loose immortals, which he hadn’t opened previously.
Casually opening the loot orb, he retrieved the items inside and his eyes lit up quickly.
"Big haul!"
