Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 342 Intercepting Yu Jun, the Third Sea-Stabilizing Pearl

Su Yu's true form hasn't made a move in a long time. In recent years, he has been operating as the Crimson Dragon, mainly focusing on improving the Crimson Dragon incarnation. However, this does not mean that his true form is not strong enough.

In terms of attributes, he was now no less than Canghai of the same level.

A single innate naval mine instantly wiped out most of them.

All monsters and players below level 200 within the range were instantly killed, and even most high-level monsters with low templates and levels below 240 were annihilated by the continuous innate lightning tide.

"Lightning Strike!"

A bolt of lightning struck a level 275 sea beast, instantly dealing a terrifying 7000 million damage. Then, a thunderous explosion erupted, with billions of tiny lightning bolts covering all enemies within a 1000-meter radius, instantly unleashing countless bursts of lightning damage totaling 3500 million.

The already weakened monsters could not withstand such violence and were reduced to charred remains.

With a single innate water mine and a strike from the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer, the entire field was cleared in just two moves, and the attacking allied forces and demonic naval troops were almost wiped out.

The speed was so fast that the city's garrison was stunned for a moment before they could react.

"Damn, what are we waiting for? Let's counterattack!"

Numerous human players rushed out of the city to hunt down the fleeing allied players.

Su Yu did not pursue, but instead swung the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer again, unleashing several bolts of lightning that instantly killed some of the slower allied players. He then descended into Luoyin City, where three Golden Core cultivators immediately greeted him, clasping their hands in a respectful gesture.

"Thank you to this brother for coming to help."

Su Yu smiled and waved her hand, saying:
"It just so happens that I have some business to attend to here."

Several men were intrigued and wanted to befriend this fellow clansman whose strength seemed somewhat extraordinary. Chai Lingchuan, who was in the middle, asked:

“The three of us are from the same team and have been active here for a long time. Brothers, if you need any help from us, just let us know.”

Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony and said directly:
"I came to Qianxing Island from Qingcang Immortal Continent on some business, and I don't have a map of this area yet. Does anyone have a detailed map they can sell?"

"It's a small matter. I have a map here that covers the entire Star Gazing Island. I spent several years traveling to various parts of Star Gazing Island to buy maps and then combining multiple maps. It basically covers the entire island's topography. Here you go."

Su Yu looked down and saw a sharing request. Upon opening it, she found it was indeed a map.

After passing through, the existing map was overwritten. Previously, the entire island of Qianxing Island, which was dark except for a small area nearby that was lit up, was instantly opened up. The island, which is about one-third the size of Blue Mountain, was completely lit up, and the territories and detailed information of the various forces on the island were marked on it.

In addition to the map, there is an appendix that details the situation of the various tribes on Star Chaser Island, as well as some information that cannot be marked on the map.

"Excellent, quite detailed."

Su Yu smiled and said:

"This map will save me a lot of trouble."

After thinking for a moment, he reached out and a jade bottle appeared in his palm, which he then handed over.

"A small gift to express my feelings."

Chai Lingchuan quickly waved his hand and said:

"That won't do. You just helped us a lot."

Su Yu tossed it out, and Zi Lingchuan caught it instinctively. He waved his hand and said:
"No problem, this map saved me a lot of trouble. I have other important matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer. Goodbye."

After saying that, he leaped into the air and disappeared in a streak of light.

Chai Lingchuan shouted immediately:
"Brother, if you encounter any problems, you can go to the Shenzhou Chamber of Commerce in the capital of the Eight Immortals Kingdom. As long as you pay a certain price, you can ask the local experts to help you."

"OK!"

The streak of light quickly disappeared completely into the horizon.

"This brother is certainly impatient."

The three chuckled. Chai Lingchuan tossed the jade bottle in his hand, casually opened it, and the next second his eyes lit up and widened in surprise:
"Holy crap, the Purple Mansion Heavenly Origin Pill."

The other two were also taken aback and immediately looked over:
"real or fake?"

"Really, 36 pills in total, that's a generous offer."

"This big shot is no ordinary person."

The big boss they were talking about had already left Luoyin Island and was heading straight for the mainland of Qianxing Island.

While flying, he checked the map data and quickly locked onto the target.

According to information from the black market, Yu Jun's target seems to be the capital of the Demon Ape Kingdom. Su Yu was completely clueless about where the Demon Ape Kingdom was before, but now that she has a map, she has a target.

"Magnetic Flowing Light Escape!"

He has upgraded this escape technique to the fifth level, with a base escape speed of 3000% of his own flight speed.

At Su Yu's current flying speed, it only took four hours to arrive above the Demon Ape Kingdom.

This is because the plane kept stopping and adjusting its direction along the way; if it had taken a straight route, it would have arrived in an hour.

After arriving in the Demon Ape Kingdom, Su Yu transformed back into a Heavenly Ghost, and then used the Ruyi Transformation to transform into a Thunder Eagle, thus attracting less attention from the demons in the Demon Ape Kingdom.

An hour later, Lei Ying arrived near the capital of the Demon Ape Kingdom.

From afar, one can see eight towering peaks, each over a hundred kilometers high, standing in eight directions amidst the continuous mountain ranges. These peaks, together with numerous lower mountains, form a mountain wall tens of thousands of meters high, within which lies a giant basin with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of kilometers. The capital of the Demon Ape Kingdom is located within this super basin.

Thousands of kilometers away from the country, Lei Ying landed and transformed into a Vajra Demon Ape, thus infiltrating the city in a very straightforward manner.

Upon entering the city, contact the person in charge of the black market in this area immediately.

An hour later, they met the person in charge of the black market in this area, a serious-looking ape demon, at a restaurant on the mountainside of a mountain in the city.

"It has been confirmed that Yu Jun entered the city five hours ago."

Do you know his purpose?

"I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect they're here to find some kind of treasure."

"Well, I see."

Su Yu nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked:
Do you have a detailed map of the city?

The ape demon was prepared and immediately took out a jade talisman and handed it to him:
“Yu Jun also bought a map from us, just like you.”

"Ah."

Su Yu readily paid 5000 Immortal Coins. Of course, this was not the price for the map, but the price for this job. He paid half upfront, and the remaining 5000 Immortal Coins would be paid after he succeeded.

After the ape demon left, he opened the map and examined it carefully.

"Could this guy really just be here to persuade the Demon Ape Kingdom to join the Sea Serpent Clan's camp?"

He came to the window. The restaurant was located halfway up the mountain and had a view of the vast demon kingdom, which was like a kingdom, with demons of all shapes and sizes everywhere.

We saw many creatures that walk on the ground, fly in the sky, and even aquatic creatures.

Aside from being 99% inhabited by demons, it's a metropolis whose prosperity rivals that of human cities.

Su Yu watched for a while, then opened the regional channel. There were very few chat messages inside, only a handful.

"They probably didn't come to persuade the Demon Ape Kingdom to join the Sea Serpent Clan's camp."

"This Demon Ape Kingdom is entirely populated by land-dwelling demons, so they cannot participate in the battle between the Dragon Clan and the Sea Serpent Clan."

"He must have another purpose."

"What should we do next? Continue waiting here, or take the initiative?"

"If we take the initiative, it won't be easy to make a move within the capital of the Demon Ape Kingdom."

"Damn it."

Su Yu rubbed her furrowed brow, looking somewhat troubled.

"Let's wait and see. If he really has some ulterior motive, he'll definitely do something."

"If all else fails, we can have the black market's intelligence network keep a close eye on Yu Jun and intercept him on his way back after he finishes his business."

Having made the decision, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and simply booked a room in the restaurant to stay in. He could cultivate when he had nothing to do, or wander around the city in the form of the Vajra Demon Ape.

Time passed quickly, and more than a month went by in the blink of an eye. The city remained completely quiet, without any disturbance.

If it weren't for the messages sent from the black market every few days confirming that Yu Jun was still in the city, he would have thought that the person had run away long ago.

So much time has passed that Su Yu is now certain that Yu Jun's visit this time is not to persuade the Demon Ape King to join the Sea Serpent Clan's camp; he must have a special purpose.

"If that's not your purpose, then why have you been hiding here so quietly for so long? Could it be...treasure hunting?"

"What treasures does this Demon Ape Kingdom possess?"

"boom!"

A sudden, deafening roar interrupted Su Yu's imagination. He immediately stood up and went to the window, where he saw a burst of blue light erupt from the giant peak in the center of the Demon Kingdom. Then, an overwhelming blue torrent surged in all directions like a tide, covering an area of ​​thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

"You audacious snake-man, how dare you steal treasures from the demon kingdom!"

With a deafening roar, a golden-haired giant ape, over twenty kilometers tall, revealed its true form. Its violent aura, mixed with golden flames, exploded. With its arms outstretched, the blue torrent covering thousands of kilometers suddenly shattered, revealing the true form of a demon god, tens of kilometers tall, with four heads, eight arms, and a snake tail, coiled above.

"Yu Jun!"

Su Yu recognized at a glance that the four-headed, eight-armed, snake-tailed demon god's true form was the Water God's true form, which was accompanied by the supernatural power of Dinghai.

And that golden-haired giant ape is undoubtedly the Demon Ape King.

Although the Demon King's size was not as large as Yu Jun's true form, his aura far surpassed Yu Jun's. Every move he made carried the mighty power of a true immortal, causing the Water God's true form to retreat repeatedly.

However, this situation changed after Yu Jun used the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. The innate immortal treasure hung above Yu Jun's head, and the innate water shield unfolded to form a blue light curtain that enveloped his entire body. Even when the True Immortal Demon King took out a low-grade divine weapon and slashed at it repeatedly, it did not budge.

At the same time, the battle between the Demon King and the outsiders attracted the attention of the entire Demon Kingdom. Not long after, three Celestial Immortal-level Demon Immortals flew out from three of the eight giant peaks outside the Demon Kingdom: a silver-haired giant ape, a thunder roc, and a tiger demon.

"Your Majesty, I have come to your aid!"

Lei Peng roared and soared into the sky. With a flap of his enormous wings, endless lightning exploded, and dark clouds filled the sky, instantly gathering into thunderclouds that stretched for hundreds of kilometers.

The silver-haired giant ape, wielding a Hunyuan iron rod, leaped dozens of kilometers to arrive at lightning speed.

The tiger demon had wings on its back and was faster than the silver-haired giant ape.

Just then, several incredibly powerful auras suddenly exploded within the city, and five snake-man celestial beings suddenly appeared, intercepting three demon generals, while the remaining two snake-man celestial beings intercepted the demon soldiers gathering from various places.

"They also invited five experts from their own clan."

Su Yu narrowed her eyes, quickly calculating when to make her move.

"Judging from what that Demon Ape King said, he traveled all the way here to secretly steal a treasure from the Demon Kingdom."

“A treasure worth traveling thousands of miles to seize must be extraordinary; it might even be a celestial treasure.”

"Hmm, perhaps I can play the role of the oriole, waiting and watching."

Just as he was pondering this, he saw Yu Jun suddenly open his mouth and spit out a beam of blue light, which was then caught by an arm and slammed down.

The Demon Ape King reacted extremely quickly, holding the divine blade horizontally in front of him. However, no one expected that the power of this attack would exceed everyone's imagination. A violent blue torrent exploded, and the Demon Ape King was caught off guard and was directly blasted hundreds of miles away.

"Boom!" Countless buildings shattered, and countless demons were crushed into mincemeat.

He spat out a mouthful of golden blood, which quickly burst into flames in the air.

"The second Sea-Stabilizing Pearl?"

Su Yu's eyes widened in shock, her face filled with disbelief.

"He actually stole the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl?"

The one hanging above Yu Jun's head was a Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, and the one that was spat out and fell down was also a Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. Su Yu herself had one, so it was impossible for her to mistake it.

After the shock, there was ecstasy.

"There are actually two Sea-Stabilizing Pearls! Heaven is helping me!"

He leaped onto the roof and paced back and forth, pondering when to make his move.

At this moment, he had made up his mind that he would kill him no matter what the cost.

Holding two Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, even though they were not fully unsealed and were not complete, Yu Jun was able to directly challenge a True Immortal-level Demon King with the body of a Celestial Immortal, even though he was a whole level higher. The enhancement given by the two innate spiritual treasures was simply unbelievably strong.

"If I can seize it, I will have three Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, and the path to the Great Dao will be within reach."

"Let's do it now."

Su Yu decisively took out the Eclipse Moon Blood Seal and activated it. A few circles of blood rippled out, and the Eclipse Moon Ancestor's cold voice rang out:

"Is the baby ready?"

"Ready."

Su Yu decisively took out three pre-cut Earth Longevity Fruits, threw one into the Blood Ring, and said in a deep voice:

"My greatest enemy is nearby. I will seize the opportunity to unleash the Blood Seal later. I request that you, Ancestor, take action to kill him. If successful, I will offer the remaining two Earth Longevity Fruits with both hands."

The Eclipse Ancestor immediately responded:

"Can!"

The blood ring receded into the blood seal. Su Yu put the blood seal away and took off into the air without hesitation. His figure flickered and the crimson light surged. Accompanied by a deafening dragon roar that shook the heavens and the earth, an enormous crimson dragon appeared in the sky above the demon kingdom.

The red dragon soared through the sky and shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty, I, the dragon, am here to lend you a hand!"

The dragon claw pressed down on Yu Jun, and he whispered:
"Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations!"

As darkness fell, countless stars appeared, and with a flick of the dragon's finger, starlight poured down in a funnel shape.

"Real dragon?"

"court death!"

Yu Jun snorted coldly, and spat out a mouthful of pure magic power that disappeared into the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. A bright blue light suddenly appeared above his head, forcefully blocking the falling star funnel.

Primordial spiritual treasures, born from the innate laws of the Great Dao, inherently possess the ability to suppress destiny and thus can isolate the secrets of heaven.

Seeing this, Su Yu pointed again, and the blocked star split into five, each landing on one of the five snake-human celestial beings and marking them. They did not have innate spiritual treasures and could not block this heavenly divine power.

After marking the target, Su Yu estimated that the effect of the other Heavenly Dao Divine Power, Reversing Yin and Yang, would also be limited, so she decisively pounced on him and joined forces with the Demon King to attack Yu Jun.

The Crimson Dragon's power reaches 600 million, and the Great Wilderness Ancestral Dragon Claw increases damage by 100%, resulting in a casual strike of up to 12 billion. With the addition of the Fire Law, the theoretical damage is as high as 15 billion, but after deducting damage reduction, the burst damage is only 150 million. The damage reduction from the innate spiritual treasure is as high as 90%, which is extremely exaggerated.

When he pressed down with his claw, the light screen remained completely still.

With a flick of its claws, flames burst forth from the surface of the light barrier.

The Demon Ape King leaped up, his sword raised, and golden flames spread along the blade, transforming into a golden fire blade that slashed down fiercely. The light screen trembled slightly, creating a commotion slightly stronger than that of the Crimson Dragon.

Feeling the feedback from the innate spiritual treasure's defensive power, Yu Jun immediately realized that the newly arrived, somewhat familiar red dragon possessed considerable strength. With two True Immortal-level warriors attacking him, and his cultivation level a level lower, he feared he wouldn't last long. Furthermore, having already obtained the treasure, there was no point in lingering. Therefore, he decisively transmitted his thoughts to his five companions:
"Prepare to retreat!"

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl rose, and invisible waves exploded outwards in layers, reaching thousands of miles away. Yu Jun shouted:

"Dinghai!"

An indescribable, powerful pressure emanated from the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, spreading along invisible water ripples, bringing stillness to everything it touched.

The demonic ape king, wielding his sword, was unable to stop, but moved as slowly as if walking on gel, the blade descending at a snail's pace.

The red dragon, engulfed in flames, was also moving slowly.

Yu Jun gave Chi Long a deep look, then turned and left.

"withdraw!"

However, no blood-red light was seen flying out of the red dragon's mouth, and the solidified world did not affect its speed at all.

Two seconds later, a blood crystal rippled out in a blood circle, from which a withered hand reached out and silently pointed at Yu Jun.

"boom!"

An indescribable force exploded, and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl hanging above Yu Jun's head shook violently, causing Yu Jun to shake violently as well.

He turned around in shock and saw the withered hand tap again.

"boom!"

The primordial water boundary has been shattered.

The withered hand grabbed at Su Yu, which appeared to Su Yu as just a withered little hand, but to Yu Jun it seemed to cover the sky and leave no escape.

"boom!"

The second Sea-Stabilizing Pearl rose up just in time to block the attack.

The Old Ancestor of the Moon Eclipse paused for a moment, about to make another move, when he saw Yu Jun take out a golden relic. A hint of hesitation appeared on his face, but the next second he showed a determined look and threw it out. The relic emitted a dazzling Buddhist light, and a golden Arhat radiating an aura no less than that of the Old Ancestor of the Moon Eclipse descended, forming a hand seal and pressing down to block the withered hand.

"boom!"

The two large hands stopped abruptly, and the surging Buddhist fire swept over them, enveloping the withered hands. A sharp shriek reached Su Yu's ears:

"Our agreement does not include dealing with this Buddhist Arhat. Quickly return the Earth Longevity Fruit."

"and many more!"

The Crimson Dragon spat out the remaining Earth Longevity Fruit in one breath and said loudly:

"Hold me off for five minutes, and all these Earth Longevity Fruits are yours."

The crimson flames of the Eclipse Moon Blood Crystal surged, and he could feel a cold gaze fixed on the Earth Longevity Fruit, which still had over 50,000 years of life left. After only a second of contemplation, he replied:

"I'll hold them off for five minutes, but don't try to fool me, or else..."

Su Yu quickly said:

"As a junior, I am not qualified to deceive my senior."

"I bet you wouldn't dare!"

Blood crystal flames surged, and a crystallized, withered hand flew out, slamming fiercely towards the golden body of the Xuanxian-level Arhat.

"Ancient Dragon Primordial Spirit Dharma Form!"

Su Yu decisively activated her ultimate move, unleashing ten times the power from her body, forcefully breaking through the power of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl's laws, and flashed to appear above Yu Jun's head, pressing down with her claw.

"boom!"

The Dinghai Pearl suddenly trembled, and layers of tremors and explosions erupted, turning buildings within a radius of thousands of kilometers into dust.

Although the defenses remained intact, the intense spatial tremors interrupted the teleportation that Yu Jun was activating.

Feeling that this attack, initially valued at 1.5 billion, actually dealt a terrifying 15 billion damage, Yu Jun's expression changed drastically:

"How can this be!"

But he was also a seasoned expert. Shock did not prevent him from responding decisively. He swung the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl down with one hand and pointed the other finger at the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl above his head.

"Boom!"

With all attributes at +10, the Crimson Dragon's reaction speed surpassed that of an ordinary True Immortal. It reacted instantly, blocking with its dragon claws. With a sudden slam, the dragon claws shattered scales and managed to block the attack from the Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"The world is in turmoil!"

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl comes with a powerful attack, unleashing the immense power of the sea to crush everything in its path and condensing ninety-nine water dragons with attack power reaching that of a True Immortal to obliterate everything.

But at this moment, the Crimson Dragon's attack power had surpassed that of most True Immortals, and its defense power had also reached the level of a True Immortal. The ninety-nine water dragons crashed down and shattered into pieces, while its massive dragon body remained motionless, suspended in the air.

The crimson dragon raised its head, and its other claw slammed down again, unleashing another terrifying 1.5 billion damage.
Then the enormous dragon head slammed down like a hammer, and the thick dragon tail lashed out, unleashing a barrage of attacks. Recovery couldn't keep up with the destruction, and the Dinghai Pearl's innate water barrier managed to withstand a full forty-eight blows before shattering into pieces.

The two dragon claws struck down with lightning speed. Yu Jun's true form, a mere celestial being, couldn't react in time. The angry and benevolent heads of the four heads were crushed by the dragon claws. The enormous dragon head then slammed down like a hammer, shattering the central celestial head. In an instant, only the snake-man head remained.

"I didn't realize I was this powerful."

The red dragon sighed softly and opened its mouth to let out a long roar.

"Shifting stars and changing constellations".

"seal!"

Countless stars fell like a funnel, and this time, without any innate spiritual treasures to resist, they could no longer stop the power of the Heavenly Dao from descending.

Yu Jun's last remaining head shouted:
"May Buddha save me."

The golden-bodied Arhat, entangled with the Eclipse Ancestor, clasped his hands together and chanted:
"Amitabha!"

"The Buddha offered his body to the eagle, and I too will give up my golden body to protect the chosen ones of my religion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden body cracked, golden Buddha blood flowed out, and the Buddha light, which was ten times more powerful, swept over and directly knocked away the Eclipse Ancestor. With a flash of golden light, the Crimson Dragon was blasted away, and the Arhat with the shattered golden body rose up from behind Yu Jun. The dazzling golden light wrapped around him and soared into the sky.

The Demon Ape King rushed forward to intercept him, but was blasted away before he could even draw his sword.

The red dragon also soared into the sky to catch up, and struck the golden body of the Arhat with its claw, but it did not even break through the golden light protecting the body.

"Damn, this bastard is definitely a pawn of Buddhism."

With two Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in hand and the protection of Buddhist Arhats, he wouldn't believe he wasn't a pawn of Buddhism.

Fortunately, this Arhat was not a real Arhat, but merely a relic. It lacked many powerful Buddhist supernatural abilities, and the Buddhist power within the relic was limited and could not be sustained. Furthermore, the Eclipse Ancestor was a veteran and experienced Xuanxian, whose true form was likely at the late stage of Xuanxian. A cultivator at the early stage of Xuanxian would probably not have been able to defeat this Buddhist Arhat.

If a true immortal or arhat were to arrive, not only them, but even the Old Ancestor of the Moon Eclipse might be forcibly taken out and converted.

This Arhat was extremely fast. Su Yu, in his Ancient Dragon Primordial Spirit Dharma Form state, could catch up with him, but couldn't break through his defenses for a while.

At this moment, the Arhat is in the state of demonic disintegration, and he will die when the duration ends, but he is almost invincible during this period.

A golden light appeared in front, followed by a massive crimson dragon. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the Demon Ape Kingdom. The five snake-human celestial beings left behind scattered without hesitation, but were chased by the enraged Demon Ape King, resulting in chaos and confusion along the way.

After unsuccessfully unleashing over a dozen attacks, Su Yu transformed back into his true form from the Crimson Dragon, his speed surpassing that of the dragon as he caught up. With a single finger strike:
Time has stopped!

As the power of time swept by, the golden body paused for a moment before instantly soaring into the sky and disappearing through the void, piercing the laws of time.
