Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 364 Dominating Billions of Aquatic Spirits

Luo Hanchuan's face was still showing shock as he said:

"When I received the summons, I thought it was just a coincidence of names, but it turned out to be true. Is the rumor true? You really defeated two True Immortals and 52 Celestial Immortals in one move?"

"Uh, no."

Luo Hanchuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked:

"Then why does everyone say that?"

"Because it wasn't a one-hit kill. I used my ultimate move and it took me a lot of effort to kill him."

"???"

If it weren't for Su Yu's serious expression, he would have thought she was teasing him if it were someone else.

At that moment, a clear bell rang from above, and Luo Hanchuan quickly transmitted his voice:
"The meeting is about to start, let's talk later."

"it is good."

Su Yu sat down in his seat and heard the bell ring three times in a row. General Li Wumian, who was presiding over the meeting from the main seat, spoke:
"With the approval of the Supreme Council, the Falling Star Island War Zone was established. The ultimate strategic goal is to defeat the Horned Demons, the Fire Clan, and the Six-Eared People, and to completely occupy the Falling Star Islands."

"Entrusted by the Supreme Council, I will serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the Falling Star Island War Zone, with General Zhu Yuanshuang, General Wang Ziqing, and General Su Yu serving as Deputy Commanders-in-Chief. In addition, General Yan Jinfeng, General Peng Beisheng, General Guo Yu, and other True Immortals will serve as War Zone Advisors, responsible for this Battle of Falling Star Island."

"I believe you are all already aware of the reasons for the establishment of this theater of operations, so I will not go into details. Now, I will arrange the next strategic steps and the planning of the defense zone."

"According to the Supreme Council's General Staff's plan, the strategy is divided into three phases. The first phase is to breach the core Silver Dragon city of the Horned Demons, and..."

General Li Wumian, with a loud and clear voice, carefully conveyed the orders from the Supreme Council and the War Zone Command to every attendee.

The meeting did not last long. In essence, the meeting was just announcing the establishment of the theater command. Specific strategic plans still needed to be discussed internally by the headquarters.

There were more than forty people who could participate in the internal meeting, and Su Yu, as the deputy commander, was naturally among them, and also had the right to make suggestions and decisions. Among these forty-odd people, apart from the eleven True Immortals, the remaining thirty-odd people were all advisors with Golden Core cultivation, and were all professional strategists.

This was Su Yu's first time attending such a strategic meeting involving racial warfare. Lacking any experience, she didn't speak casually. She mainly listened to the advice of the professional think tank, discussed with several True Immortals, and finally made a decision.

In terms of combat, Su Yu was undoubtedly the best, but throughout the process he listened attentively and sought advice from the other experienced generals, learning from their experience.

These professional think tanks are incredibly capable. After integrating all the data from the four races, they can mentally simulate the entire chaotic battle scenario of the four races on the Falling Star Islands, and simultaneously consider the variables caused by various unforeseen events, thereby formulating different response plans.

Every variable that a particular variable might trigger would be considered, and then multiple solutions would be developed for each variable. In just a few days, no fewer than ten thousand different combat plans were devised, taking all aspects into account in a way he had never seen before.

When dealing with those sects on Blue Mountain Island, he hadn't considered all this. He just discussed it internally within the guild, devised a battle plan, and got to work. He hadn't gone into such detail.

Of course, on Blue Mountain Island, there is absolute strength to crush everything, and no matter what variables there are, you can just push through and crush everything.

"As expected, this kind of thing still needs to be done by professionals. I'll just focus on fighting."

The internal meeting lasted two days and one night, and the think tank ultimately developed an extremely complex strategic plan based on the current situation.

Su Yu smiled after carefully reviewing the plan, because although the strategic plan was very complex, his task was simple—he was mainly responsible for the military force and dealing with the experts from various races. The detailed deployment of troops would be handled by several other experienced generals.

Following the meeting, troops were deployed.

On the human side, 150 Celestial Immortals and four True Immortals remained at the East Sea headquarters, while the Four Symbols City gathered seven True Immortals and 200 Celestial Immortals, along with over five thousand Tier 7 Heavenly Strike Warships, five hundred Heavenly Punishment Warships, fifty Heavenly Base Fortresses, and over one billion accompanying players.

A massive army gathered outside the Four Symbols City, with countless floating immortal ships lined up side by side, their spiritual light intertwined. In the center were celestial fortresses stretching for tens of kilometers, surrounded by densely packed players, their treasures radiating light.

The regional chat channel was buzzing with activity, with countless players posting messages that scrolled down so quickly they were almost impossible to read.

"Boom!"

The deafening drumbeats echoed through the heavens and earth. With each drumbeat, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and their blood began to boil. When nine consecutive thunderous drumbeats sounded, Su Yu felt an inexplicable power descend upon her, and her strength instantly surged by a large margin.

"Notification: You have received the Blessing of Civilization, and your attributes have been improved!"

"Civilization Blessing (Tier 3): All attributes +15%, all spells +30%, health regeneration +3000, mana regeneration +300, death penalty -50%".

This blessing is bestowed upon all soldiers only by the High Council during battles of paramount importance to civilized races, in accordance with humanitarian principles.

The duration is unlimited, but the cooldown will be as long as it lasts, so this blessing is generally not activated in battles, and even if it is activated, it will not be kept on for too long.

This time, the Falling Star Islands are too important. As we all know, the wider the territory of a civilization, the more people there are, the more powerful people there are, and the stronger the civilization's will, that is, humanity, will become. The Falling Star Islands are no less than the main island of China. The value of monopolizing them is about the size of a hundred Blue Mountains, so they deserve our attention.

Given the high success rate this time, we naturally have to go all out.

As the blessing of civilization was activated, the massive fleet slowly started moving and flew westward from the Four Symbols Main City.

This time they launched a frontal attack, and it was estimated that the journey would take several months. Su Yu stayed in the fleet the entire time, cultivating as they traveled.

Two months later, the massive fleet appeared in the near sea of ​​the Falling Star Eastern Continent, and could see the endless coastline in the distance, as well as the Silver Dragon Main City standing on a large island tens of thousands of kilometers offshore.

This main city is not on land, but on a large island. Its total area is much larger than that of the Four Symbols Main City, with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers. Even when the Xuan Yue Four Women's Grand Formation is fully deployed, it cannot encompass the main city.

The protective array of Silver Dragon City has been fully activated, covering the entire city like an inverted bowl of light, leaving no blind spots.

In addition, Su Yu looked into the distance and saw a pillar of light reaching the sky in the center of the main city, with a huge jade plate suspended inside. Countless solid runes formed streams of light bloomed from the jade plate and poured into the light screen of the city's protective array.

"What magic weapon is this?"

Su Yu asked the generals beside him curiously. After examining the situation carefully for a while, General Zhu Wushuang replied:

"It should be a formation plate."

"This thing can enhance the attributes of the great formation in all aspects. Judging from its grade, this array plate is probably a spirit treasure. It is estimated to increase the overall attribute bonus of the city-protecting great formation by more than 100%."

"So this is the array plate!"

He had heard of it; as a formation master himself, he was certainly familiar with it, but he had never seen it before.

"A sixth-order city-protecting formation, and a spirit treasure-level array plate—this is a tortoise shell."

General Li Wumian laughed:
"So next we will have to rely on General Su and Fellow Daoist Canghai to crack this tortoise shell."

Su Yu said in a deep voice:

I'll do my best!

In this battle, the main force truly depends on him and Canghai.

Fortunately, the horned demons only defend and do not attack.

As the massive fleet approached the city, the Horned Demons were thrown into chaos. Looking down from the sky, he estimated that the strength he had displayed earlier had frightened them. Most of the Horned Demons retreated back to their main city, while some fled to the mainland, rather than gathering a large force to fight them.

This was exactly what they wanted. With a command from Commander-in-Chief Li Wumian, the massive fleet slowly approached the main city, and the main cannons and the divine thunder towers on the ships began to charge up their power.

Then he turned and bowed to Su Yu and the others:
"Fellow Daoist Su, I'll have to trouble you from now on."

Su Yu nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Please hold back and don't attack yet. Let me take some cannon fodder to wear them down first."

After saying that, he waved his sleeve and soared into the sky, creating distance between himself and others. With a thought, he activated the Supreme Dragon Transformation, and his body rapidly expanded, quickly transforming into a red dragon thousands of kilometers long that stretched across the void. An invisible, scorching aura swept across the area like a halo, leaving everyone below dumbfounded.

"Shit!"

"What a huge dragon."

"A Xuanxian-level True Dragon?"

"No, the level is only 402, which is only the True Immortal level."

"Don't try to fool me, I'm not well-educated. How could a true immortal-level dragon be this big?"

"But its level is indeed only 402. It might be a mutation."

"Roar!"

A deafening dragon roar jolted everyone into a daze, shattering all their chaotic thoughts.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

As the crimson dragon roared continuously, waves of pale red energy exploded outwards from its center, surging outwards in layers and sweeping tens of thousands of kilometers away in the blink of an eye.

When they came to their senses, someone suddenly exclaimed:

"Holy crap, look down there!"

Countless players looked down and saw that the sea had become boiling, with towering waves rising from the seabed and countless aquatic creatures rushing towards the Silver Dragon City not far away.

During the sprint, aquatic creatures were constantly affected by an unseen force and transformed, conjuring up arms and legs and holding bone spikes.

Occasionally, a few lucky ones are affected by the Ancient Dragon Domain, and the meager dragon blood in their bodies is stimulated to boil and become powerful, directly transforming them into various dragon species.

"Are dragons really that powerful? They can actually command so many sea creatures?"

"Normally, dragons aren't this powerful, but this real dragon is extraordinary."

From their vantage point high above, the players watched as the seawater, stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers, rose visibly, soon engulfing the land of Silver Dragon Island. Towering waves, thousands of meters high, carrying countless sea monsters, surged toward Silver Dragon Island, crashing heavily onto the main city's light screen.

The light screen remained motionless, and countless monsters crashed heavily onto it without moving an inch.

The giant wave crashed into the light screen and shattered into fragments of seawater. Before it could recede back into the sea, a second giant wave, several thousand meters high, pushed the first wave and crashed heavily into it.

"Roar!"

The colossal dragon roared continuously in the sky, constantly unleashing its innate dragon powers to overturn rivers and seas and dominate aquatic creatures. Su Yu, as a Supreme Dragon Transformation cultivator, possessed strength comparable to a Mystic Immortal, and being an ancient dragon, his dominance was even greater. At this moment, his power to control aquatic creatures could reach as far as several million kilometers away. As he continued to activate his talent, most of the aquatic creatures within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers centered on him were now under his control, surging towards him at his will.

And this range is not the limit. As his power continues to extend, it will gradually expand to 200,000 kilometers, 300,000 kilometers, until the end of its influence.

The number of monsters active in such a vast area is countless, at least several billion or even tens of billions, and monsters emerge from the water eye every moment. If he so desires, he can continuously control them to launch attacks on the Silver Dragon's main city.

Although there aren't many high-level monsters, and they don't have the combat power of monsters over level 300, they are still quite useful as cannon fodder to consume the energy accumulated in the city's protective formation's energy pool and the mana of the defending players.

This tactic is perfect for long-term sieges and can reduce countless battle losses.

In just a few hours, the vast Silver Dragon City was besieged by hundreds of millions of monsters, and the human army adjusted its tactics. Ordinary players stayed in the rear to watch the show, or cleared out the horned demons sneaking around the edges, while a portion of the fleet was left to bombard the city's protective formation from afar.

Many immortal experts were also busy. Some of them, skilled in killing techniques, coordinated to attack the city's protective formation, while others stood guard on the sidelines to prevent a sudden attack by a large number of experts gathered inside the city.

Canghai transformed into a four-headed, eight-armed demon god, spanning over thirty kilometers, standing on the edge of the main city. The seawater only reached her ankles. Her eight arms were raised high, each holding a chaotic bell hammer, which she slammed down one after another like a drumbeat. The terrifying power caused the light screen to ripple continuously.

Although the innate grand formation of the four women of Xuan Yue is not needed, their combat power is already very strong. With the help of their innate spiritual treasures, they are in no way inferior to true immortals in terms of offense and defense.

Each of the four women can occupy a side, allowing them to intercept any horned demons that might try to escape from all directions, or to protect their fellow tribesmen in the surrounding areas with their four treasures.

Inside the Sky Strike Fortress, Commander Li Wumian surveyed the endless tide of monsters below, stroked his beard, and laughed heartily:
"I thought it would be a tough battle with great exhaustion, but I didn't expect Deputy Commander Su to have this trick up his sleeve. This will greatly reduce the casualty rate of the younger generation. It's a great deed!"

General Zhu Wushuang's gaze fell upon the Crimson Dragon suspended in the air, constantly unleashing bursts of crimson light, and he said in a deep voice:

"Fellow Daoist Su has this external avatar, and his relationship with the Dragon Clan is not superficial. I feel it is necessary to take our relationship with the Dragon Clan to the next level and establish a closer relationship."

"I remember that Elder Zhao has a Dragon Transformation Well, which can only be activated by a true dragon. After the war, I will take General Su to visit Elder Zhao and see if we can help General Su get that Dragon Transformation Well."

Another general, Wang Ziqing, stroked his chin and said:

"Also, I remember there is a special spiritual treasure in the Immortal Treasury that seems to be related to the Dragon Clan. Only members of the Dragon Clan can open it. I'll talk to Fellow Daoist Su Yu after the battle and exchange it for him."

The immortals chatted amongst themselves, mentioning various rumors and treasures related to the dragon race. In no time, they had accumulated more than a dozen items, all of which they had noted down.

While the human race was unexpectedly relaxed, the main city of the Horned Demon Silver Dragon was shrouded in gloom and despair.

Their initial plan was to use the city's protective array and the spirit treasure-level array plate to inflict heavy casualties and deplete the human race's strength. With the main city's defenses, they could hold out for several years without any problem, and they could definitely wipe out the human race's billion players more than once. The best-case scenario was to cause them to suffer too many losses and slow down their offensive.

But they never expected the human race to make such a move, actually transforming into a true dragon no less powerful than a Xuanxian, and urging billions of aquatic creatures to serve as cannon fodder in the attack on the city.

The aquatic cannon fodder were everywhere in the sea, and they were only temporarily under their control. Killing more of them would not cause any harm to the human race, which completely ruined their plan.

The main city is now besieged, and we can't win in open battle. Defending the city will ultimately lead to its collapse, and the despair is palpable.

"We have no choice but to persevere."

A horned demon immortal said expressionlessly:

"The only way is to make the Fire Clan and the Six-Eared Clan feel threatened by the Human Race, and immediately send troops to put pressure on the Human Race to divide their forces, otherwise they will surely be defeated."

Another horned demon immortal said in a deep voice:

"Disaster!"

“There must be experts from both races watching this battle. They will definitely feel threatened when they see the human race’s move, but they will most likely not come to our aid. Instead, they will wait until we are defeated before taking action.”

"After all, while humans are a threat, we are also their competitors. To weaken us, it is inevitable to first eliminate some competitors."

Silence fell over the main hall once again.

There was nothing you could do, because Su Yu's move was a blatant, overt scheme to wear you down. You had no way to change it and could only tough it out.

Three months later, Ao Run and Cang Longluo arrived at Su Yu's summons, accompanied by a well-equipped aquatic army.

However, this aquatic force did not join the battle, but instead supervised the battle from the rear, while Ao Run and Canglong Luo commanded these aquatic troops from the rear.

With two real dragons guarding him and driving away the sea monsters he had already subdued, Su Yu, transformed into a red dragon, freed himself up and turned back to the depths of the sea.

Here, being near the sea, the monsters are of low level and their energy is being consumed too slowly. He plans to venture into the deeper parts of the ocean to command and drive over more high-level monsters.

After communicating with Li Wumian and the others, the Crimson Dragon's massive body swayed, transforming into a huge red shadow that streaked towards the heavens.

A day later, he arrived at the deep sea, 40 to 50 million kilometers away. He raised his head and roared again, activating his innate supernatural power. The sea, more than 100,000 kilometers around him, boiled again. Countless aquatic creatures and monsters were controlled by him and swam westward.

He circled back and forth over this sea area, which was tens of millions of kilometers in diameter, more than a dozen times, urging countless sea monsters to rush westward.

Half a month later, a human team that was temporarily not needed to fight and was leveling up in the sea discovered the towering tsunami composed of billions of sea monsters, which surged forward layer by layer, heading straight for the Silver Dragon City.

"Holy crap, so many big monsters and big bosses."

"General Su Yu's move is just too outrageous."

For them, what could be called a BOSS was a monster with a level of over 200, which was not common. At this moment, tens of thousands of them gathered together and were driven over, which was a spectacular sight.

In an ocean area with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers, especially in the deep sea, the total number of spirits and monsters is probably in the hundreds of billions.

Moreover, their levels are not low. Deep-sea monsters are often over level 100, with levels 160 or 170 being common. In the deepest parts, there are even experience monsters that are over level 200. These monsters are thick-skinned and tough, and if their level is high enough, even an immortal can't kill them with a single blow.

"With so many bosses, we should be able to take them down in one go!"

With such a large force coordinating with the human race, Su Yu felt that they should be able to break through the Silver Dragon's main city.

Theoretically, even without the human army, the Crimson Dragon, along with so many cannon fodder, could break through the Silver Dragon's main city. However, apart from him, there are no high-end combat forces, and the burst of power is insufficient. It will take a long time to wear them down, possibly more than ten years.

"boom!"

An even larger tide surged in, raising giant waves tens of thousands of meters high that crashed heavily onto the city's protective array from all directions. This time, Su Yu did not hover in the air to watch the show. Instead, he flew thousands of kilometers into the sky and plunged down, crashing heavily onto the top of the inverted light bowl of the city's protective array. The indescribable force caused the light bowl to twist and deform violently like a wave.

Looking at the crimson dragon that blotted out the sky and the city's protective array that was twisted and looked like it was about to collapse, the players in the inner corner of the city felt no sense of security.

"This wave is probably going to be a disaster."

"Why does the human race have such powerful True Immortals? Why doesn't my race have such geniuses?"

“There have been such prodigies in the past, but they are either not in the clan or have already advanced to the Xuanxian realm, and are not allowed to participate in wars except for full-scale wars.”

"Bitter!"

Meanwhile, in the human race's regional channel, amidst the excitement of millions of players, Commander Li Wumian issued an order:

"Everyone is here to cooperate with General Su Yu and launch a full-scale attack on Silver Dragon Main City!"

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers erupted:

"Wan Sheng!"

"The human race will win!"

Countless players converged into a torrent, launching attacks from all sides of the Silver Dragon City.

The Silver Dragon's main city has a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, so there is no fear of not having enough space to launch an attack.

"boom!"

No less than a million level 200+ monsters gathered into a giant wave tens of thousands of meters high and crashed heavily onto the city's protective formation. At the same time, a large number of human experts were gathering their strength and waiting to unleash their attacks the moment the wave hit.

Canghai raised his eight arms high, one arm grasping the Chaos Pearl, and the other two arms gripping the Chaos Bell Hammer and slamming it down.

The four women of Xuan Yue activated their companion spiritual treasures, instantly condensing countless innate lightning orbs that bombarded down.

Two hundred celestial beings and seven true immortals also made their moves together, unleashing their most powerful techniques.

A massive amount of energy erupted in that instant, creating a deafening roar. The Silver Dragon City's protective array trembled violently, its defensive power instantly reduced by more than half, exceeding 500 billion units.

"Come again!"

The next wave surged in again, containing millions of aquatic creatures of level 200 and above. There were four more layers behind them, which Ao Run and Chi Longluo had deliberately intercepted to gather a large number of aquatic creatures into the fifth layer.

When the time is right, we will unleash our strongest fighting force.

The red dragon raised its head and unleashed a breath of true fire, which spread hundreds of kilometers away, towering over the light barrier.

The others unleashed their magical powers and treasures once again, resulting in another terrifying burst of power. During this brief respite, Silver Dragon City's defenses recovered only about 60 billion, but then dropped by nearly 200 billion.

Unfortunately, most burst damage skills have a cooldown, so it's impossible to unleash them continuously like the first time.

"Come again!"

The main city of the Silver Dragon has a total defensive power of 12000 trillion, and its defensive power had been continuously reduced to below 9000 billion before.

The first wave of the outbreak wiped out 5000 billion.

The second wave recovered 600 billion, but the subsequent surge wiped out another 2000 billion.

The third wave recovered 600 billion, but another outbreak wiped out 1800 billion.

Then, before the fourth wave, another 600 billion was restored, leaving 1400 billion in remaining defensive power.
The Crimson Dragon leaped to a height of tens of thousands of kilometers in the sky, and then slammed down with a Dragon Strike. The thousands of kilometers long crashed down with the momentum of the fall, and at the same moment, the four-headed, eight-armed Canghai grasped the Xuanhuang Bell Hammer and smashed it down hard.

"Boom!"

An unimaginable force shattered the light barrier, creating a tangible impact that exploded, sweeping through countless surrounding monsters and instantly turning them into blood mist.

Silver Dragon City has fallen!
