Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 352 The Innate Grand Array Refines the Mountain Gate, the Blood Demon Palace is Destroyed

"Give me the order to attack!"

The demon god did not return, but strode directly toward the Blood Demon Palace gate. His loud voice shook the air slightly and could be clearly heard thousands of kilometers away.

The hundreds of millions of cultivators who had been stationary in the distance let out a deafening roar and surged toward the Blood Demon Palace's mountain gate.

No one noticed that four figures flew towards the four directions of the Blood Demon Palace's mountain gate, each holding a precious flag and waiting in full battle array.

"boom!"

The Chaos Demon God slammed the Chaos Pearl down on the Blood Demon Palace's mountain gate. The inverted bowl of light sank violently, instantly reducing its defensive power by more than 30 billion, destroying one-third of its defense on the spot. The Blood Demon Palace disciples inside the mountain gate were horrified and turned pale.

"Holy crap, over 30 billion damage?"

"The sect-protecting formation reduces damage by 70%, doesn't that mean the actual damage exceeds 100 billion?"

"What kind of injury is this?"

Not only the Blood Demon Palace disciples couldn't understand it, but the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect disciples who were surrounding and preparing to attack the mountain also couldn't understand it.

The actual damage of the Chaos Orb is 10 billion + 10000% magic damage. Su Yu's normal magic damage is only 100 million, but when he unfolds the Chaos Demon God True Form, the magic damage is multiplied by 10, which is 1 billion. The 10000% bonus is 1000 billion damage.

After the first strike, the eight arms clenched into a fist and slammed down heavily.

With a base strength of 100 billion, the true form enhances it to 10 billion, and the power of chaos increases by 100%. Each punch has a power of up to 200 billion, the formation reduces damage by 70%, and the remaining damage is 60 billion.

One punch is worth 60 billion, and a round of eight punches is worth 480 billion.

With just one round of attacks, the Blood Demon Palace's protective formation lost most of its defensive power.

"Holy crap, what kind of monster is this?"

In terms of attack power alone, it has surpassed that of a high-grade True Immortal, so cultivators from a small place like Blue Mountain would naturally not understand it.

After four or five rounds of bombardment, the sect's protective formation was on the verge of collapse, barely hanging on, and was about to be breached.

But at this moment, a thick pillar of blood shot into the sky from the depths of the Blood Demon Palace. The protective light barrier was replenished by the blood pillar, and its depleted defensive power was instantly restored.

This is clearly one of the Blood Demon Palace's trump cards.

As a Celestial Immortal Sect with a history of hundreds of thousands of years, its protective array is of the fifth rank. With the addition of many auxiliary arrays, its rank is at least the upper-grade fifth rank, and its defensive power is so great that even two hundred billion units cannot withstand it.

With its numerous trump cards, even ten celestial beings taking turns attacking it would not be able to break through.

But they were unlucky enough to run into Su Yu, who was a cheat code who actually condensed the true form of the Chaos Demon God, possessing power far beyond their imagination.

With eight arms raised, it slammed down again, like a drumbeat, causing the Blood Demon Palace disciples within the formation to panic and tremble.

Hearing the thunderous sound like beating drums, the disciples of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect outside were greatly encouraged. Under the command of many sect leaders, they split up to the left and right, completely surrounding the huge Blood Demon Palace gate. Everyone watched with anticipation as the Heavenly Demon God remained unharmed despite being bathed in countless demonic forbidden techniques and divine powers.

The giant arms struck in turn, and all the disciples were eagerly anticipating the moment when the Blood Demon Palace's protective formation would be breached.

Su Yu's powerful eyesight penetrated the light membrane, allowing him to clearly see the situation inside the Blood Demon Palace.

Under constant bombardment, the Blood Abyss had to be activated to replenish itself every few rounds. After several replenishments, the once abundant Blood Abyss began to deplete, and it seemed it could not withstand more than a few rounds.

"Everyone, once the mountain gate is breached, we will immediately break through and leave."

Inside the Blood Demon Palace, the high-ranking members of the Blood Demon Palace gathered a group of elites. The deputy palace master was speaking, instructing them on how to escape and how to take revenge in the future.

Another group of elders were distributing supplies, handing over sect treasures and scriptures to them.

No one dared to resist. The towering, earth-shattering demonic figure outside the mountain gate and the terrifying burst of power from that single punch, worth billions, extinguished all their thoughts of resistance. Everyone had only one thought: to run.

"I never imagined that my Blood Demon Palace, with its more than 200,000-year history, would be wiped out today!"

A high-ranking member of the Blood Demon Palace gazed at the towering demon god outside the light curtain at the mountain gate, his face filled with sorrow and helplessness.

"boom!"

After accumulating at least 500 billion damages, the mountain gate finally succumbed and shattered, scattering billions of bloody rays. The tens of millions of Blood Demon Hall disciples within the sect had no intention of staying with the sect and instead took to the air to break through in all directions.

"Brothers, prepare to intercept."

Chaos reigned within the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect's channel, with all sorts of messages flying around.

Groups of three or five disciples watched the figure rushing out of the Blood Demon Palace's mountain gate, preparing to intercept it.

"Set up the formation!"

Su Yu transmitted her voice in all directions, and the four women who had been in position for a long time immediately activated the treasure flags in their hands.

Suddenly, four beams of light of different colors shot into the sky from the four sides of the Blood Demon Palace gate. Immediately afterwards, four true forms with four heads and eight arms, which were extremely similar to Su Yu's true form as a demon god, stood in the world, each holding a precious flag. An invisible light curtain unfolded and connected into a large array with a diameter of more than a thousand kilometers, enveloping the Blood Demon Palace gate.

Of the more than 20 million Blood Demon Palace disciples who escaped from the mountain gate, not one was able to escape; they were all blocked inside the light barrier.

Even the space itself was divided, and the elites from the sect who were preparing to escape using teleportation talismans were all stopped.

"This is?"

All the disciples on both sides were stunned.

The Xuan Yue Mountain, residing in the east, murmurs:
"Xuanyue!"

The innate spiritual treasure in Nanfang Chixiao's hand trembled:
"Chixiao!"

"Void!"

"The Cold Abyss!"

"The Primordial Four Symbols Chaotic Formation!"

The four women simultaneously shook the Innate Treasure Banner, and the formation suddenly changed. The stable world began to collapse and boil, and all matter turned into earth, fire, wind, and water.

The Four Symbols Chaotic Formation: A primordial formation capable of reversing the flow of earth, fire, wind, and water, recreating chaotic scenes, and isolating time and space.

Earth Fire Wind Water: Reverse Earth Fire Wind Water, dealing 100 million + 1% spell damage per second. The four types of damage can stack. Mana cost is 5 per second.

Chaos Domain: Shatters heaven and earth, re-enacts chaos, and deals chaos damage equal to 10 times the sum of four flag damage per second. Mana cost: 50 per second.

Chaos Divine Thunder: Shakes the four flags, condenses chaotic energy arrows, and deals 100 billion + 2000% spell damage in chaotic damage. Each energy arrow consumes 20 mana and has a 1-second cooldown.

Ruin: Chaos Ruin, deals 400 billion + 4000% spell damage as chaos damage, costs 200 million mana, and has a 1-hour cooldown.

Isolation of Space and Time: The great formation isolates space and time, prohibiting teleportation. Those who die will be resurrected within the great formation.

Note: Death under this formation incurs a penalty of 10.

Note: The Four Symbols Chaotic Formation is an innate formation that ignores acquired resistance and defense.

Their current spell damage is 5000 million, and the earth, fire, wind, and water damage per second within the formation is 1.5 million. The four types of damage can be stacked, which is 6 million damage per second.

Even a celestial being couldn't last three seconds.

The formation had been deployed for less than five seconds when it wiped out all 20 million players and native cultivators of the Blood Demon Palace.

"hiss!"

A hundred million gasps of cold air rose up, and the temperature in this area dropped by more than ten degrees.

"This is fucking ridiculous!"

Everyone was so shocked they were speechless.

"No one should enter the formation. Wait for half an hour."

"Hiss, that's too cruel."

"Daozi is trying to wipe them out completely."

"It's better to exterminate them completely, otherwise there will always be all sorts of trouble in the future."

"Indeed, the demonic cultivators are affected by the cultivation techniques, and their temperaments are all problematic. It will be difficult for them to coexist in the future. It's best to eliminate them once and for all."

"It may seem too cruel to outsiders, but for our sect, Daozi's actions are of immeasurable merit!"

Su Yu occasionally saw the comments in the channel, but whether they were in agreement or disagreement, he simply ignored them without any emotional reaction.

If you're going to do something, do it thoroughly; leaving things half-done only creates more trouble.

As one player said, his actions were too cruel to outsiders, but they were a great deed to the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect.

People with different paths cannot work together. He is a disciple of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, so naturally he has to consider the interests of his own sect. How could he possibly consider the thoughts of an enemy or a disciple of the Demonic Sect?

Demonic sects like the Blood Demon Palace, which cultivate through blood and devour the blood of living beings, are inherently unacceptable to the world. Killing them all would be acting on behalf of Heaven.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The four women of Xuan Yue activated the great formation again, and the earth, fire, wind, and water boiled once more. In just over ten seconds, more than seven million players were resurrected simultaneously in the surging earth, fire, wind, and water. Soon, the vast mountain gate returned to calm.

The penalty for dying within the Four Symbols Chaotic Formation is 10 times the lifespan, which is equivalent to 50 years.

The vast majority were Qi Refining stage cultivators, whose lifespan was only a little over a hundred years. Many had already died multiple times and their lifespans were running out, so they were all killed in one go.

continue waiting.

Another half hour later, this time only a little over a million were revived, and they were all annihilated twelve seconds later.

It is worth mentioning that the lifespan lost upon death varies depending on the cultivator's cultivation level.

The lifespan of a Qi Refining cultivator is capped at 200 years. Under normal circumstances, a new cultivator only loses 5 years of lifespan upon death. The penalty for dying at the hands of a BOSS or under the influence of powerful supernatural abilities increases, but there is a limit, which is no more than 50 years.

Foundation Establishment cultivators have a slightly higher cultivation level, so the protection for newcomers is reduced, and a normal death will result in a loss of at least 10 years of lifespan.

As a Golden Core cultivator advances further, their lifespan increases significantly, but the penalty for death also becomes more severe; a normal death results in a loss of at least 50 years of lifespan.

Celestial beings have a lifespan of up to 129600 years, so each death results in a loss of 1000 years of their basic lifespan.

Within the Four Symbols Chaotic Formation, the death penalty is 10. The maximum lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is 600 years. Each death results in a loss of 100 years of lifespan. After deducting the lifespan lost previously, dying four to five times will result in permanent death.

In order to wipe them out completely, the Four Symbols Chaos Formation surrounded the Blood Demon Palace's mountain gate for a full eight and a half hours, forcibly annihilating the entire Blood Demon Palace sect.

After waiting for half an hour and no one revived, Su Yu ordered the four women to collect the tens of millions of spoils scattered inside the mountain gate, and then ordered the disciples to rush into the formation to search for any remaining survivors.

The four women of Xuan Yue did not withdraw the Four Symbols Chaotic Void Formation; they still deployed it, but did not activate the formation. They merely isolated the space to prevent any escapees from getting away.

The grand formation did not completely refine this mountain gate. After all, it was a major sect's mountain gate, with a fifth-order spiritual vein and a large cave heaven underneath. It would be a waste to refine it all.

But precisely because of this, there must still be remnants in some secret rooms and forbidden areas of the mountain gate, which requires a personal search.

In addition, there must be a large number of Blood Demon Palace disciples hidden in the cave, who will need to be killed one by one later.

This isn't a big problem. The vast majority are dead, and there won't be many left. Even if they were all experts, they couldn't withstand the overwhelming numerical advantage. Besides, they don't have someone like Su Yu who can take on an entire sect single-handedly.

As for the spoils of war, Su Yu will not keep them for himself; he will hand them over to the sect upon returning.

However, Ding Yin and Blood Venerable's primordial spirits will remain. Cang Hai has already erased their consciousness and refined their blank primordial spirits into the three Celestial Immortal-level mechanical puppets that still exist in the Chaos Realm.

Despite his celestial-level combat power, he's still quite useful at this stage.

Su Yu did not participate in the ensuing battle. She transformed back into her true form and returned to the cloud platform, where the sect leader greeted her with a smile.
"May Heaven bless our sect! From this day forward, you have the final say on all sect decisions!" Su Yu nodded.

"This disciple will certainly live up to the sect leader's expectations and bring glory to our sect!"

The sect leader stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

The news of the Blood Demon Palace's destruction spread throughout the entire Blue Mountain Islands in just one hour, reaching almost all players from the Nine Heavens Sword Sect and the Brahma Buddhist Sect to the Western Sea and the South Sea.

At first, no one believed it; they all thought it was just hearsay.

However, as many Xuanzhen Immortal Sect disciples spread the word, and some bolder ones approached the battlefield, they were forced to believe it when they saw that the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect had completely occupied the Blood Demon Palace.

Soon after, a video clip, captured by an unknown person, showing Su Yu transforming into a four-headed, eight-armed demon god and single-handedly blasting open the gates of the Blood Demon Palace, spread. Only then did everyone learn the inside story of this battle, and they were all utterly shocked.

"That's freaking amazing!"

The Yin-Yang Demon Sect's many disciples also witnessed this light and shadow magic, and they were all so frightened that they couldn't sit still.

"Even the Blood Demon Palace couldn't withstand many blows. Our Yin Yang Demon Sect is on par with the Blood Demon Palace, so I'm afraid we'll also find it difficult to resist."

"The Blood Demon Palace has wiped out more than 20 million players. Only a very few who didn't come escaped. A sect with a history of more than 200,000 years has been destroyed in one day. I'm afraid we will follow in their footsteps."

"Gentlemen, what should we do?"

After a moment of silence, one of the disciples suddenly spoke up:
"Since we can't win, can we surrender?"

They all looked over at the other true masters and seemed quite interested.

"It's possible, but the question is whether Su Yu is willing to accept it."

The speaker looked at several of the true disciples and said:
"After all, several members of our sect have been targeting Thousand Star Palace for the past ten years or so, and some of them are even leaders of the anti-Thousand Star Palace guild alliance."

Those being watched opened their mouths as if to say something, but then didn't know what to say.

Now that the deed is done, no one will believe me if I say I was unaware of it.

Not only the disciples, but also the higher-ups of the Yin Yang Demon Sect had learned of the Blood Demon Palace's destruction, and they were even more anxious than the disciples.

"Everyone, I'm afraid our sect is no match for that Xuanzhen Daozi. If we resist, the fate of the entire sect is uncertain. We should make plans as soon as possible."

"What are your plans? Abandon the sect's foundation and flee?"

"This is the only option."

"Nonsense! Our sect has built up a foundation of hundreds of thousands of years; how could we just give it up?"

"Then you'll go and fend off that Xuanzhen Daoist?"

"Hmph, our sect has two sect leaders, a sect-protecting formation, and a sect-guarding treasure. We are not incapable of resisting."

"The Blood Demon Palace thinks so too."

"you"

"quiet!"

A gentle voice interrupted the argument between the two sect leaders, and everyone fell silent, looking at the two figures seated at the head of the table, and said in unison:

"We beseech the Sect Leader to make the decision!"

Seated at the head of the table were the two leaders of the Yin-Yang Demon Sect, one male and one female, representing Yin and Yang.

The two sat facing each other, and Yang Mo said in a deep voice:
"Resistance is not advisable, but abandoning our sect's foundation would be difficult to explain to our founder. I have decided to close the mountain and await the right opportunity!"

"Mountain closure?"

The group looked at each other, and then everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mountain closure?"

The news reached all the true disciples of the Yin Yang Demon Sect immediately. When they learned the meaning of the mountain closure, all the true disciples had different expressions.

"Damn it, the sect has closed its gates, what are we going to do?"

"Go if you want, I'm not going."

"The sect is doomed."

"Yes, a Celestial Immortal can live for at least 100,000 years. To avoid the sharp edge of Xuanzhen Daozi, one would have to close the mountain for at least 100,000 years. Not to mention 100,000 years, given the speed at which players grow in strength, a new Celestial Immortal will be born every thousand years. In 10,000 years, Xuanzhen Immortal Sect will probably have many Celestial Immortals, not to mention in 100,000 years."

"If we were to open up the mountain again at that time, there would be no place for our sect to hide."

"Instead of closing the mountain, it's better to start over in another place."

"But this is the sect leader's decision."

"I don't care, I'm not going to lie low."

In the Thousand Star Hall, all the guild's top leaders gathered. Gu Zhi Qiu stood on the stage and waved excitedly, saying:

"Brothers, I believe you already know that the guild leader has destroyed the Blood Demon Palace. Most of the high-ranking members of the Anti-Thousand Star Palace Guild Alliance have fled. According to reports from our spies over there, half of the alliance guilds have announced their withdrawal from the alliance and sent envoys to request an audience."

"Let's brainstorm and discuss whether to meet with these guilds that have come to seek peace, or refuse to meet them. If we do meet them, what compensation should we demand?"

Meng Siyi, representing Su Huan who had returned to his clan, smiled and said:
"The guild leader is sweeping through Blue Mountain, and the destruction of the Demonic Sect is just around the corner. At that time, the entire East China Sea, South China Sea, and a small part of the West China Sea, which belong to the Demonic Sect, will be ceded. Even if we take half of it, it will still be a vast territory far exceeding that of the East China Sea, and we will definitely need more manpower."

"My suggestion is to probe their intentions and see if they are willing to join our association."

"Those who disagree will demand huge compensation; those who agree will be disbanded and merged into a guild."

Everyone nodded in agreement.
“That makes sense. Our leader is invincible. He has conquered such a vast territory. It's not unreasonable for us to take half of it.”

As news of the Blood Demon Palace's destruction spread, the entire Blue Mountain was in an uproar. Various forces were stirring up trouble, and even the Nine Heavens Sword Sect and the Brahma Buddhist Sect, which were unrelated to it, sent envoys to request an audience with Su Yu.

Su Yu understood their meaning, but he had no interest in playing mind games with these old foxes, and pushed all the blame onto the sect leader.

At the Blood Demon Palace's mountain gate, Su Yu walked around the now-destroyed gate with his hands behind his back, surrounded by numerous disciples of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect.

Including my second brother, Su Huan, he is now a true disciple of our sect.

The Blood Demon Palace's mountain gate structure is based on the central fifth-order spiritual vein's divine peak, surrounded by only a few small hills. Within a radius of one hundred kilometers, there are thirty-six thick stone pillars serving as the base of the sect's protective array.

After being refined by the Four Symbols Chaotic Array, all the buildings, plants, and protective arrays throughout the Blood Demon Palace's mountain gate were completely cleaned up. Even the Blood Demon God Peak was scraped away with a thick layer, leaving only a bare mountain peak.

With the protective array destroyed, the spiritual energy in the fifth-order spiritual vein beneath the Divine Peak was released without restraint, and the entire Divine Peak was now enveloped in dense spiritual energy.

The group arrived at the mountaintop. Su Yu pointed in all directions and said with a smile:

"After this great battle, all traces of the Blood Demon Palace have disappeared, and it is time to start anew. I intend to rebuild a dojo here as the dojo for my Suspended Mountain lineage."

Wan Yu said with a smile:
"Daozi's decision is good. After our sect destroys the demons, the area south of Blue Mountain and the entire South China Sea will be under our control. We need a branch here to rule this place."

Su Yu glanced at him; the young man knew how to talk.

At this moment, another true disciple said:
"The Blood Demon Palace is no match for our sect, and the Yin Yang Demon Sect is also a piece of cake. I wonder what to do with their sect after we destroy the Yin Yang Demon Sect? Do you have a decision?"

Su Yu didn't need to look up to feel that everyone was eagerly anticipating her answer.

He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"The decision regarding the Yin Yang Demon Sect's mountain gate will be made by the sect leader."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked somewhat disappointed.

"but."

Su Wu glanced at the disciples who had perked up again, chuckled inwardly, and continued:
"You are all discerning people, so let's not beat around the bush. I, Suspended Mountain, will take the headquarters and territory of the Blood Demon Palace. As for the Yin Yang Demon Sect and its subordinate territories, I really have no interest in them and intend to leave the decision entirely to the Sect Leader."

"Furthermore, according to my plan, the future Suspended Mountain area, as well as half of the South China Sea, will be the territory of my Thousand Star Palace. You can fight for the other half yourselves; I will not take it all for myself."

"By the way, the main city of the Southern Dragon Map also belongs to my Thousand Star Palace."

Everyone nodded quickly:

"this is necessary."

Then another true disciple asked:

"What about the West Sea and the North Sea? These two places have been occupied by players from the Nine Heavens Sword Sect and the Brahma Buddhist Sect."

Su Yu glanced at him with a smile and said:
"You want to ask me if I have any plans to deal with the Nine Heavens Sword Sect and the Brahma Buddhist Sect, right?"

He gave an awkward smile:
"Daozi's wise eyes!"

Su Yu said calmly:

"Blue Mountain can only have one sect in the future. After destroying the Yin Yang Demon Sect, the Nine Heavens Sword Sect and the Brahma Buddha Sect will also have to make a decision."

"For the sake of not being a demonic sect, they have enough time to relocate their sect."

Everyone's eyes lit up:
"Daozi wants to unify Lanshan!"

"Then you'll be awesome."

"Once the Nine Heavens Sword Sect and the Brahma Buddhist Sect move away, I will take over the Nine Heavens Sword Sect's mountain gate and territory. I don't want the Brahma Buddhist Sect, the West Sea, or the North Sea."

"The future Thousand Star Palace will encompass the area east of Blue Mountain, the entire East China Sea, half of the South China Sea, and the rest of the territory will belong to our sect."

This was Su Yu's final plan. He had no intention of unifying Blue Mountain with Thousand Star Palace; unification of the sects was enough.

Complete unification of Blue Mountains is indeed great, but unified rule can lead to internal stagnation, and the lack of external competition is not a good thing either.

In addition, Su Yu plans to reorganize the Thousand Star Palace after unifying Blue Mountain.

The existing internal structure of the guild is no longer suitable.

After touring the Blood Demon Palace, the group arrived at the Blood Demon Cave, which had also been thoroughly cleaned up. Not only were all the hidden Blood Demon Palace disciples killed, but all the demonic buildings and decorations inside had also been cleared away, and many professions were undergoing a major renovation inside.

This situation lasted only five days before Su Yu received news that the Yin Yang Demon Sect had announced the closure of the mountain.

The sect leader transmitted his voice:

"The Yin-Yang Demon Sect has sealed off the mountain, and all demons have been annihilated. This mission has been successfully completed."

"Mountain closure?"

"Isn't that just waiting to die on the spot?"

Su Yu replied:
"Perfect for catching them all at once!"

The so-called "sealing the mountain" refers to abandoning the sect, taking all resources and a group of elite disciples back to the core cave heaven of the sect, and then sealing the cave heaven from the inside, or directly severing the connection between the cave heaven and the main world, causing the cave heaven to float into the void.

If the cave is simply sealed off, even a True Immortal who has mastered the laws of space can open it, and a Mystic Immortal can simply blast it open with force.

If the grotto-heaven is severed and exiled into the void, a Mystic Immortal can retrieve it shortly after the severance. However, if it is exiled to an extremely distant place in the void, at least a Golden Immortal is needed to find a way to retrieve it.

Unfortunately, Su Yu possessed abilities comparable to those of a Xuanxian immortal, and since the cave had just been sealed, this posed no challenge for him.
