Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 327 Slaying the Sea Serpent Demon Immortal Youyuan
The might of the celestial-level true dragon caused all the sea monsters, regardless of size, to flee in terror. For several days, not a single one could be seen, nor did the sea serpent clan pursue them.

After burning the corpse, he directly activated the Star Shifting Technique to conceal the secrets of heaven. The Sea Serpent Clan could know through their bloodline that a royal descendant had died, but they did not know where he died or who killed him.

With the Supreme Dragon Transformation realm and the ability to shift stars and change constellations, it would be impossible for a Xuanxian (a type of immortal) skilled in celestial secrets to discover the truth without personally searching for it.

A powerful race like the Sea Serpent Clan must have immortals skilled in celestial secrets, as well as mystical immortals, but there may not be mystical immortals skilled in celestial secrets.

Even if such a thing were true, a mere royal family member who had not yet attained immortality would not be able to cause trouble in front of such a powerful figure.

They most likely believed they had been killed by a powerful dragon, a situation extremely common during battles between the two races.

Moreover, given the status of this royal family member, it is unlikely that they would attract the true experts of the Sea Serpent Clan, because this royal family member is probably not the core of the Sea Serpent Clan. A true core royal family member would not lack even something to protect themselves from a Celestial Immortal.

He wasn't afraid unless a true immortal personally arrived.

They sped along their journey, and a few days later the two dragons returned to their old haunts, to the ruins of the ancient teleportation array from Blue Mountain.

The ruins remain, just as they were when I last visited.

Su Yu opened the boundary gate, and Cang Hai emerged from the Zhenhai Realm, speaking softly:
"I need to examine this carefully; please protect me."

"it is good."

The crimson dragon soared into the sky and circled around. Soon, with the powerful eyesight and perception of a Celestial-level True Dragon, it discovered a sea serpent demon army stationed in a ruin two thousand kilometers away, with many patrol teams around it.

Although this is not the Azure Dragon Palace, it was once an important area of ​​the Dragon Palace. There are many teleportation arrays around it, but they have all been destroyed.

After observing carefully for a while, Su Yu decided not to destroy the garrison for the time being, and to wait for the results from Canghai.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Canghai's voice rang in his ears:

"If it's for repairs, it will take at least a month; if it's for rebuilding a new one, it will take about a month and a half."

"What's your suggestion?"

"My suggestion is to rebuild it, rebuild it in a different location."

"???"

"This place is located in the heart of the Sea Serpent Clan. Once it is opened, it will definitely attract the attention of the Sea Serpent Clan. When we return, we will probably face a siege by many powerful members of the Sea Serpent Clan. It would be better to rebuild the teleportation array in a safe place so that we can travel freely in the future."

Su Yu immediately asked:

"If we go to a different location, can you be sure we can connect to the teleportation array there?"

"I have noted down the coordinates of the teleportation array on the other side, and I also know the structure and spatial frequency of the teleportation array on the other side. As long as the teleportation array is built and the spatial frequency is properly connected, accurate teleportation can be achieved."

How much funding is needed to build an ultra-long-range teleportation array?

"No less than ten thousand immortal coins."

"That's not much."

Su Yu nodded and said:
"Then let's find a safe place to rebuild one."

As for the location, Su Yu already had an idea in mind. She planned to find a secluded place behind the Dragon Clan camp after joining the Dragon Clan camp to build it.

As for now
His gaze fell upon the sea serpent clan's base not far away, and he grinned:
"Let's go, let's get something done first."

"Canghai, first set up a geomagnetic trapping immortal array here."

Canghai nodded, reached out and took out array flags that had already been refined. After observing the surrounding sea area for a moment, a palm-sized array flag flew out and quickly expanded into a white jade pillar that was a kilometer long and resembled a mountain. It fell into the seabed, shook the hard rocks and inserted itself into the ground.

The Earth Vein Magnetic Trapping Immortal Array is a top-grade third-tier array that can use the power of the earth vein's magnetic field to reverse gravity and suppress the five elements, thus forming a trapping array.

One by one, the array flags were driven into the ground, drawing upon the earth's magnetic energy to attach to them. With the help of the vast ocean, the array was activated, and the earth's magnetic energy was integrated into a unified whole, thus completing the array.

Su Yu nodded, led Ao Run to a spot not far from the sea serpent clan's base, reached out to stroke her dragon horns, and instructed her:

"Go over there and lure them into the formation."

Ao Run nodded immediately and rushed over without hesitation, unleashing a breath of dragon's breath from afar.

As soon as she appeared, more than a dozen sea serpents, all over level 200, rushed out of the base. The leader hissed:
"Dragon clan?"

"You are asking for death."

More than a dozen sea snakes opened their mouths at the same time, spewing out thirteen highly venomous breaths that pierced through the water and filled the air.

Ao Run sprang to his feet, activating the Xuanming One Qi Formless Kunzai Thunder Net. Thousands of Xuanming Divine Thunderbolts appeared, crashing into the base like meteors.

Under the command of the demon general, the demon army gathered their demonic power to form a sky-covering net of light, which completely blocked the explosions of Xuanming divine lightning.

"All generals, heed my command: surround and kill the demonic dragon."

With a command from a member of the sea serpent clan, the demon army split into eight groups, moving left and right to surround the true dragon.

"withdraw!"

Upon hearing Su Yu's command, Ao Run flicked his dragon tail and turned to flee without hesitation.

"Chase!"

A dozen or so sea snakes took the lead and chased after him, exploding bone-corroding poisonous thunderbolts around Ao Run, creating huge, dark green, highly poisonous flowers in the sea.

The dragon swiftly traversed the water, quickly crossing thousands of kilometers to reach the ruins of the teleportation array, and swept across the ruins.

The moment numerous sea serpents and demon soldiers appeared on the ruins, Su Yu gave a deep order:

"Get into formation!"

Canghai appeared out of thin air above the great formation. With a wave of his sleeve, the hidden jade pillar appeared out of thin air. The primordial magnetic light bursting forth from it exploded and spread outwards, converging to form a huge inverted bowl of light with a diameter of more than 200 kilometers, trapping most of the poisonous dragons and most of the demon army inside.

Only one poisonous dragon deliberately released water to break out of the formation's range, leaving several thousand slower demon soldiers outside who hadn't had time to enter.

"Array?"

"Is there an ambush?"

Then Su Yu's figure appeared, revealing a four-headed, eight-armed Dharma form. He wielded two Heavenly Gang Demon-Slaying Blades and charged into the demon soldiers, slaughtering them wildly.

Within the great formation, Canghai also manifested the form of a water god with four heads and eight arms. He clasped his arms together and condensed a primordial water thunderbolt that crashed down. The terrifying burst of over a billion kilotons turned the dozen or so sea serpents and the tens of thousands of demon soldiers trapped within the formation into dust.

In less than ten seconds, hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers and a dozen or so of their own kind perished. The only sea serpent that escaped was furious. It opened its mouth, spat out a beam of spiritual light, and disappeared into the sea.

"You dare to kill my sea serpent clan? You are courting death."

After observing the actions of the deliberately released sea serpent clan, Su Yu chuckled:
"Your mission is accomplished."

He dropped all pretense, unleashing a devastating sword strike that wiped out a swarm of demons. He then turned and pointed his blade at the sea serpent.
Time has stopped!

The sea serpent's body and mind were frozen, and it plunged into the abyss, never to awaken again.

After eliminating all the sea serpents, Su Yu reached out and collected all the spoils of war, then turned and jumped into the Earth Vein Magnetic Trapping Immortal Array.

A moment later, the void suddenly twisted, the seawater rapidly swirled to form a huge whirlpool, and an incomparably cold will descended upon this sea area.

Upon seeing the dozen or so mutilated corpses of the sea serpent clan that Su Yu had deliberately thrown out, a raging inferno erupted from the vortex, exploding to reveal a gigantic sea serpent a hundred miles long. An incomparably powerful demonic immortal aura descended upon this sea area.

Sea Serpent Fairy: Youyuan, Level 323, Mythical Template.

"You dare to kill my people? You're courting death."

Without any visible movement, the seawater gathered and condensed into a gigantic claw that blotted out the sky, slamming towards the Earth Vein Magnetic Trapping Immortal Array.

But the moment the giant claw touched the great formation, the magnetic force suddenly collapsed automatically, and a crimson dragon, thicker and longer than a sea serpent, burst out from the great formation. Its massive body, hundreds of kilometers long, slammed heavily into the unsuspecting sea serpent demon immortal Youyuan's body with unparalleled power. The seemingly tough serpent scales shattered inch by inch under the true dragon's powerful attack, and Youyuan's terrifying body, hundreds of kilometers long, was violently tilted by the violent force.

"caught you."

"Dragon Clan!"

An angry and terrified scream, along with a deafening dragon's roar, echoed from the sea.

"Now that you're here, don't leave."

"Roar—!!!" (Dragon's roar)

"Hiss—!!!" (Snake hiss)

The roar of the Crimson Dragon reverberated across the seabed, while the shriek of the Abyss was sharp and piercing, filled with the fury of being ambushed and the agonizing pain of being wounded. The two enormous creatures, like primordial beasts, entangled in a moment, engaging in the most primitive and ferocious close combat on this cold and high-pressure deep-sea battlefield.

Both colossal beings were at the Celestial Immortal level. Their enormous size and incredibly tenacious vitality meant that ordinary supernatural powers could not inflict fatal damage; only the most primal hand-to-hand combat could kill them.

Although the Supreme Dragon Transformation is more than 20 levels lower than Youyuan, the basic attributes of a true dragon are inherently stronger than those of the sea serpent race. In addition, the ancient dragon bloodline grants a 100% attribute boost, making its overall strength superior to Youyuan's.

They gained the upper hand from the very beginning.

The ancient dragon's claws were indestructible, fiercely gripping Youyuan's body. Each swing easily tore through Youyuan's scales, which were as hard as divine iron.

The dragon claw descended, tearing off large swathes of shattered snake scales, spurting out a torrent of flesh and blood laced with the highly poisonous blood of the demon immortal.

The poisonous flesh sprayed onto the red dragon's body, only to be instantly burned and evaporated by the boiling flames emanating from its body.

However, this Netherworld is not to be trifled with. As a level 323 mythical template demon immortal, its snake-sized body contains the power to overturn rivers and seas, and its thick, mountain-like tail is like a giant whip that reaches the sky, carrying a terrifying power that can shatter the earth, tearing through layers of seawater and fiercely striking the red dragon's waist and abdomen.

Each tail strike triggers a dull, thunderous explosion, unleashing concentric, destructive shockwaves visible to the naked eye.

The surrounding seabed rocks, seabed hills, ruins of ancient teleportation arrays, and even the remains of various monsters were all pulverized under this terrifying impact.

At the same time, it twisted its body wildly, trying to use the constricting technique unique to snakes to entangle and bind the agile dragon body of the red dragon.

However, all of this is predicated on Youyuan having a stronger physique and greater strength to crush his opponent. In reality, the Crimson Dragon is superior in terms of physique, strength, and even speed. Even though Youyuan is more experienced in combat techniques, he is powerless to turn the tide against an opponent who completely overwhelms him.

The Crimson Dragon, completely focused, gave Youyuan no chance to entangle it. Its dragon body moved nimbly in the water, using its speed to create distance. Occasionally, when it was caught in close combat and entangled, it could forcefully break free with its superior physique and strength, and even counter-entangle itself.

The Great Wilderness Ancestral Dragon Claw is indestructible, and each heavy blow can cause enormous damage to Youyuan.

Occasionally, the abyss would successfully entwine the dragon, its mouth filled with menacing, sharp teeth biting down hard on the dragon's body. Sharp fangs pierced the dragon's scales, and large amounts of dark green venom were injected into the dragon's body. However, most of it was burned by the high temperature inside the dragon's body, and the remainder seeped into the flesh. But for a true dragon with extremely high resistance and mastery of the laws of life, it was by no means fatal.

Both sides possess billions of health points and extremely high recovery speeds, making their vitality ridiculously strong. Regardless of the deadly poison or the terrifying wounds on Youyuan's body, they are constantly in a cycle of destruction and recovery.

The two sides engaged in a frenzied battle, which appeared extremely brutal, but was far from fatal.

However, the Crimson Dragon has the upper hand in all attributes and has mastered the Law of Life. Its vitality, recovery ability and endurance far surpass those of the Netherworld. In the end, Su Yu will surely be the victor.

Youyuan was also aware of this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

They couldn't win in a fight, and they couldn't run away. There were no other members of the same race within tens of millions of kilometers, so they had no choice but to fight head-on.

At this moment, Youyuan was filled with regret. He shouldn't have rashly descended in his true form. If he had been more careful, he might not have fallen into such a desperate situation.

"Boom!"

With a flick of its tail, the Crimson Dragon unleashed terrifying power upon the Abyss Serpent's body. Large swathes of scales and flesh flew off, and the clear sound of bones cracking was like continuous thunderclaps. The massive serpent's body moved like a mountain.

However, it was stopped after moving less than a mile. The two dragon claws were forcefully inserted into the snake's body to fix Youyuan in place. The red dragon opened its mouth to devour the sky and bit down hard on the sea serpent demon immortal's seven-inch spot. The dragon fangs, which were three kilometers long, were deeply inserted into the snake's body, instantly causing a terrifying damage of up to 6 million.

"hiss!"

Youyuan let out a painful, sharp scream as it looked up at the sky, its eyes blazing with ferocity. It turned its neck and bit down on the dragon's body that was wrapped around it. A concentrated, primordial poison surged from its fangs and fiercely injected into the dragon's body.

This innate poison breath contained the essence of the Netherworld's origin, and combined with the deadly poison laws it possessed, it was enough to corrode immortal artifacts and dissolve primordial spirits. Even the Crimson Dragon, which possessed the laws of life, could not resist it. The flames in the dragon scales and flesh at the bite site were quickly extinguished and rapidly covered by the poisonous green.

-1 million.

-1 million.

"The Flame of Life!"

"+5000 million."

"+5000 million."

Driven by the divine power of the Law of Life, the crimson dragon's body swelled with flames, and the area covered by the poisonous green burned with light and flames, rapidly shrinking in size.

The Law of Life clashed with the Law of Poison. The Law of Poison, which contained the essence of the Netherworld, was more powerful, but the Law of Life was more enduring. It withstood the spread of the poison and the Crimson Dragon took a breath. Feeling the flesh and blood of the demon immortal flowing into its mouth, a sudden inspiration flashed in its mind. It directly activated the Soul Devouring and Spirit Fusion Technique. Immediately, an incomparably powerful attraction force came from the dragon's mouth. Then, the Netherworld was horrified to find that the life essence in its body was being devoured.

"How can this be?"

Disregarding the fighting, Youyuan released his grip and struggled frantically.

However, the suppression of the power made it impossible for it to break free, and it could only watch helplessly as the life essence and origin within its body were slowly devoured.

"No!"

It turned its head and bit down again, but the red dragon let out a muffled roar and remained motionless, continuing to suppress and devour.

It's worth mentioning that Su Yu hasn't used the ultimate move of the Supreme Dragon Transformation - Ancient Dragon Primordial Spirit Dharma Form (Supreme) yet. After using it, he can temporarily transform into an ancient dragon, with all attributes multiplied by 10, which will definitely be able to easily kill You Yuan.

However, this move has a cooldown period of up to one year, so he can't use it unless it's absolutely critical.

He can suppress Youyuan with his own combat power right now, so he certainly wouldn't waste his ultimate move.

In addition, many people believe that Foundation Establishment has a Dharma Body, Golden Core has an Earth Immortal Dharma Form, and Celestial Immortal should also have a similar True Body, but this is not actually the case.

Because the path taken by the demon race is different from that of the human race.

The demon race basically follows the path of physical immortality. After undergoing tribulation, their physique and flesh transform to an incredible degree, becoming similar to the Dharma form of an earth immortal or the Dharma form of a primordial spirit, essentially remaining in a constant Dharma form state.

Therefore, Youyuan does not lack the Dharma form of a demon immortal. Rather, after surviving the great calamity between heaven and man, his physical body and bloodline underwent a transformation, and the Dharma form of a demon immortal has become a constant instinct, always in an active state.

That's why the attributes of demon immortals are so abnormal, completely overwhelming the difference between them and Golden Core Earth Immortals.

Su Yu's Supreme Dragon Transformation is similar. The Ancient Dragon Primordial Spirit Dharma Form he possesses is an unparalleled dragon divine power bestowed upon the Ancient Dragon bloodline by the Ancestral Dragon. It is an extra divine power and his trump card.

The cultivation path of humans differs from that of demons and beasts. They create various Dharma forms by imitating the innate supernatural powers of demons and ancient gods and demons, thereby obtaining a powerful physical body comparable to that of demons and beasts.

Their true forms are not as constant as those of demons and immortals; they need to activate their true forms to possess a physique and power comparable to that of demons.

As the Soul Devouring and Spirit-Melting Technique continued to devour Youyuan's life essence, his power grew weaker and weaker, while the power of the Crimson Dragon continued to increase.

The sea serpent demon, already no match for the sea serpent, had no power to resist. Its life essence was being devoured at an increasingly rapid pace, its body visibly withering and its blood and energy depleting, until a certain moment...

Youyuan's primordial spirit was swallowed in the last sip of primordial essence, and the withered snake body drooped limply.

"boom!"

A muffled thunderclap echoed across the heavens and earth, and the seawater within a radius of thousands of kilometers turned blood red.

A celestial being has fallen, and the heavens have given a strange sign.

Demon immortals are also immortals; all immortals who have properly passed the tribulation between heaven and man are the same.

"call!"

The Supreme Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a stream of venomous residue before slowly lying down.

He needs to properly refine this demon immortal's primordial spirit.

Ao Run circled him from a distance, not daring to get close. The area was filled with You Yuan's innate poison, and with her strength, she couldn't withstand the poison of a demon immortal.

Canghai is capable of handling it, but she's currently cleaning up the battlefield.

Retract the Earth Vein Magnetic Trapping Immortal Array and collect the remains of Youyuan.

Youyuan's physical body is now just a skeleton and snake skin that have lost their essence, and it is no longer of any use.

The skeleton has lost its essence and will crumble at the slightest touch.

The same goes for snakeskin; a single poke with a finger will create a hole.

Su Yu deliberately sent a telepathic message to Cang Hai to preserve his skull, as the Dragon Clan would surely have a bounty on the high-ranking members of the Sea Serpent Clan, which he could then claim.

After Canghai finished cleaning up the battlefield, Su Yu stopped refining and put Canghai and Ao Run into the Zhenhai Pearl. Then, he used the Heavenly Dao Divine Power of Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations to cover up the existence of Canghai and Ao Run, and then swam into the depths of the sea in his dragon form.

He needs to find another place to refine it.

This place is located in the heart of the territory occupied by the Sea Serpent Clan. A demon immortal-level member of the clan died here. It won't be long before demon immortals from the Sea Serpent Clan come to investigate, and there will definitely be more than one. It's even possible that a true immortal-level Sea Serpent will come to investigate.

If we stay here and get caught, we're doomed.

He has now devoured You Yuan's flesh and soul, and before he can refine it, he cannot transform back into human form. He can only avoid it for now.

Fortunately, the most powerful celestial divine power, Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations, can conceal one's aura, so one is not afraid of being detected by the Sea Serpent Clan using celestial magic.

About three hours after he left, the seawater suddenly began to rotate on its own without any wind, and a huge whirlpool appeared. A huge vertical pupil appeared at the bottom of the whirlpool, sweeping across the seabed for thousands of kilometers like a searchlight.

Without any visible movement, a water mirror suddenly appeared on the seabed, displaying an image of the area. Time rapidly rewound, quickly returning to three hours earlier, and a red dragon appeared in the water mirror.

"Dragon Clan".

A deep sound echoed across the sea, and a sharp finger flew out from the whirlpool and touched the water mirror. The water mirror began to flow backward at an accelerated speed, fully revealing the scene of the dragon and the snake fighting.

The journey from the bottom of the abyss back to the beginning reveals only a red dragon and a sea serpent demon, the Abyss, with no trace of Canghai or Ao Run.

The water mirror flowed backward until it stopped just as Youyuan appeared, and there was no further footage of what came before.

"interesting!"

With another tap of the sharp fingernail, the water mirror reversed its flow once more, but less than a second after the reverse flow began, a dragon's roar echoed from within the water mirror, and then the water mirror shattered.

Within the vortex, the vertical pupils slightly closed, and with another flick of the finger, countless streams of light emerged from the seabed, quickly outlining and forming a chaotic mass.

The sharp fingernail pointed at the chaos, which twisted and exploded.

"Ok?"

The vertical pupil fell silent, remaining silent for a long time.

Almost a minute later, a large hand covered in snake scales appeared out of thin air and reached into the void. Droplets of transparent blood gathered towards the hand, forming a small, blood-red sea snake in the palm. If Su Yu were here, she would recognize it as being exactly the same as You Yuan's.

A large hand scooped up the sea snake and disappeared. The vertical pupils in the whirlpool closed, and the whirlpool suddenly collapsed and disappeared, restoring calm to the seabed.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was in an unnamed trench more than 20,000 kilometers away from the battlefield, refining the primordial spirit of the demon immortal from the Netherworld.

Just like when he refined an inner core, Youyuan's demon immortal primordial spirit was quickly reborn after each refinement. Each time he refined it, the demon immortal primordial spirit weakened a little, while the Supreme Dragon Transformation became a little stronger.

When he accumulates enough experience, his level will increase by one.

Time passed quickly, and after a total of 27 days, Su Yu finally completely refined the demon immortal's primordial spirit. His level increased by ten levels, reaching level 310, and all his attributes improved significantly.

"This efficiency is terrible."

This Soul Devouring and Spirit-Merging Technique was obtained from the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. It wasn't originally a top-tier secret technique, and it was too much of a stretch to use it to refine a demon immortal.

The truth is that he himself is strong enough; someone who is not strong enough probably wouldn't have been able to refine it.

"I need to find a way to exchange for a top-tier Devouring Secret Technique, or use the power of the Heavenly Dao to improve the quality of my current Spirit Fusion Technique."

But that's for the future. Right now...
