Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 86 - 42: Mistaken Heaven Demon Monarch, Celestial Ghost Transformation Skill
Su Yu also fell into confusion, but Ao Run was right beside him, slapping him awake with a tail swipe across the face.
Su Yu covered his face, seriously suspecting it was intentional.
However, the laughter didn’t last long before it was interrupted; many bewildered players suddenly came to their senses, cold sweat streaming down as they fled back.
"Boom!"
The river water exploded, the giant flame cauldron burst out of the water, and waves of flames surged like tides in all directions. Xu Nan stood atop the large cauldron, waving the flag in his hand, hundreds of Sword Qi pierced into the riverbed.
At this moment, the river water was like an overturned paint bucket, dyed in multicolored hues by the glow, and quickly began to burn, with various colors of flames mixing in an unusually enchanting manner.
The Sword Qi entered the water, like mud oxen sinking into the sea.
But Xu Nan seemed unaware, continuously waving the flag, simultaneously stomping down with his foot, causing the cauldron to rotate slowly, from whose mouth endless flames burst forth, forming a massive flame vortex gradually rising around the giant cauldron.
The flame vortex grew larger and larger, the aura emanating from the cauldron became increasingly stronger, resembling a volcano on the verge of eruption.
At this time, there was finally movement under the water, the river suddenly jolted, rapidly arching upwards.
"Buzz!"
A deafening muffled sound exploded, the river water was propped open by an invisible force, and a humanoid figure composed of multicolored radiance rose from the bottom of the river. The moment it surfaced, the multicolored glow quickly spread out.
Mirage Demon/Mistaken Heaven Demon Monarch (Terrifying) (Possessed): Leader, Level 186/210, Aquatic Race, Mollusk.
Attributes: Qi and Blood???, Demonic Power???, Attack???, Speed???, Demon Skill:???
At the instant this colorful figure appeared, Su Yu was momentarily dazed, an unprecedented sense of threat washing over him.
"Retreat!"
Decisively controlling the Spirit Fish Shuttle to pull away.
The colorful humanoid didn’t even glance around, raising its hand to gesture as if to grab, causing millions of tons of river water to rise, coalescing into a dragon several kilometers long that soared into the sky.
Xu Nan pointed with his hand, a sun-like fireball flew out from the giant cauldron, illuminating the night sky for tens of kilometers around, descending like a meteor.
"Rumble!"
The water dragon crumbled layer by layer like rotten wood, the flames and water vapor exploded, filling the entire world.
In less than two seconds, the several-kilometer-long water dragon was shattered, the sun breaking through the water dragon, hurtling toward the colorful humanoid figure.
The humanoid figure let out a cold snort, raising its hand to gesture as if to grab, releasing an endless stream of colorful glow, coalescing into a giant colorful hand spanning hundreds of acres, meeting it head-on, as if a god was propping up the sun, leaving one in awe.
The deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth, the astounding energy shock sweeping across like a tidal wave.
Su Yu retreated further and further, quickly retreating to a small mountain over ten kilometers from the riverbank.
The earth-shattering explosion propelled river water into giant waves over a hundred meters high, submerging the riverbank, rushing up the mountainside to over a thousand meters high.
"This is indeed a battle between immortals!"
The power generated from both sides’ battle was too strong, even the aftershocks could easily kill them instantly.
After retreating to a safe location, Su Yu finally had a moment to think.
From the data, this was a Mirage Demon possessed by a Demon Dao powerhouse called Mistaken Heaven Demon Monarch, Xu Nan probably took on a bounty task to hunt it down.
To be called a Demon Monarch, it must be a Level 200 Earth Immortal powerhouse.
Logically, with Xu Nan’s strength, it’s impossible to be a match for the Demon Monarch, but unfortunately, the Demon Monarch possessed Mirage Demon is only Level 186, not even reaching Level 200, at the same major realm as Xu Nan.
In the realm across the river, the cultivator’s division is as follows.
The first realm is called Drawing Qi into the Body, also known as the Qi Refining Realm, levels range from 1-99. In the Dao sect, it’s called Qi Refiner, in Buddhism it’s called Monk, in the Demon race it’s called Spirit Monster, and in the Demon Dao it’s called Demon.
The second realm is called Qi Refining and God Transformation, for needing to establish a Dao Foundation, also known as the Dao Foundation Realm, levels 100-199. In the Dao sect, it’s called Loose Immortal, in Buddhism it’s called Mage, in the Demon race and Demon Dao it’s called Demon Spirit and Demon Soul respectively.
The third realm is called Refining Spirit and Returning to Void, refining an Immortal Golden Elixir, also known as the Golden Core Realm, levels range 200-299. In the Dao sect, it’s titled Earth Immortal, in Buddhism it’s called Vajra, in the Demon race and Demon Dao it’s called Great Demon and Great Devil respectively.
The fourth realm is Refining Void and Merging Dao, crossing the Celestial Human Tribulation condensing a Pure Yang Primordial Spirit and a Leakless Immortal Body, accumulating a Yuanhui of Mana, for levels over 300. In the Dao sect, it’s titled Celestial Immortal, in Buddhism it’s called Arhat, in the Demon race and Demon Dao it’s Heavenly Demon and Celestial Demon respectively.
Great Devil is a general term in the Cultivation Realm for Returning Void Level Demon Dao cultivators, while Demon Monarch is a title for Demon Dao cultivators.
Mistaken Heaven Demon Monarch is not a native of Blue Mountain Island, originally from a Demon Dao sect called the Demon Soul Hall located on another archipelago over eighty million kilometers away from Blue Mountain Island. In a power struggle with a mortal enemy, lost and had his physical body destroyed, leaving only his Primordial Spirit to escape.
Chased all the way to Blue Mountain Island, in order to recover from injuries, massacred the population of a town numbering several tens of thousands to practice, which led to the Danxia Sect placing a bounty, attracting numerous experts for the chase.
After being chased relentlessly, nearly exhausting all oil and lamp, had no choice but to possess a Mirage Demon.
All along lurking in the river bed slowly recovering Mana, fearing being discovered could only use the innate abilities of the Mirage Demon to lure unfortunate souls.
But did not expect even such would still be discovered.
After possessing the Mirage Demon, due to racial differences, couldn’t fully control the Mirage Demon’s body and power, unable to exert the previous strength. Coupled with the original magic treasures being mostly lost, in this moment, even a small Loose Immortal would dare to capture himself, making Mistaken Heaven Demon Monarch extremely enraged.
But anger couldn’t change the outcome, unable to defeat was unable to defeat.
After an earth-shattering exchange, with the gradual depletion of Mana, Mistaken Heaven Demon Monarch felt a staleness between the Primordial Spirit and the demon body under the water, the previously not entirely compatible body starting to separate as Mana decreased.
