Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 88 The Celestial Society's Mad Plan
"boom!"

A dazzling beam of light tore through the void and slammed into the soaring five-colored divine bull. The dazzling light engulfed the bull, making it impossible to look directly at it. All that could be heard was the bull's painful roar from within.

The light faded, revealing the injured, five-colored divine ox.

Even a legendary BOSS couldn't withstand the bombardment of the Sky Strike Giant Ship's main cannon. A blood crater more than 30 meters in diameter and more than 20 meters deep was blasted into its back, and large chunks of hair, hide, and flesh disappeared.

The injured Five-Colored Divine Ox became ferocious, lowered its head, raised its hooves, and soared into the sky, crashing heavily into the giant Sky-Strike Ship blocking the entrance to the Demon Cave, its horns crackling with divine lightning.

With a muffled thud, the three-kilometer-long Sky Strike behemoth was struck by unimaginable force and tilted slowly and involuntarily.

However, the ship was undamaged; such a massive vessel must have incredibly high defensive capabilities.

The attack failed. The five-colored divine ox, as large as a mountain, hovered in the air on colorful clouds and rammed into the giant ship as if it were flat ground. The terrifying force of the impact caused the giant ship to shake continuously and slide away involuntarily.

"Oh no, this beast is trying to push the Sky Strike Giant Ship aside."

Jiang Lang immediately turned around and went to a flying boat behind him. He clasped his hands in a salute to the dozen or so figures standing on it and said in a deep voice:
"Please, a few of you, take action and make sure to suppress the five-colored divine ox within the passage."

There were thirteen players on the airship, each with unusual characteristics and extraordinary aura. In response to his request, the man in the center nodded and said:
"As agreed, we are paid 1000 gold coins for each service we provide."

"no problem."

Jiang Lang earnestly instructed:
"Whether we can kill this five-colored divine ox or not is not important. The key is to stop it and prevent it from returning to help those below."

The man nodded, then turned and said:
"Old Zhao, let's go."

After saying that, he soared into the sky on his sword and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The others on the flying boat also took off one by one, and a total of eight scattered immortals turned into streams of light and disappeared.

"With the help of eight scattered immortals and the Heavenly Strike Giant Ship, we should be able to stop this Five-Colored Divine Ox."

Above the cave, the eight scattered immortals appeared but did not immediately attack. Instead, they carefully observed the attributes and defenses of the five-colored divine ox. Seeing that even a divine lightning bolt with an attack power of tens of thousands could not break through the ox's defenses, one of them said in a deep voice:
“This beast has extremely high defense and incredible strength. We can hardly intercept it on our own. We need to have the Sky Strike Giant Ship move away to lure it out, then have the giant ship sink to block the entrance, drag it down to destroy the core of the law.”

"I contacted Lu Yunze to cooperate with us."

"Row."

A few seconds later, the giant ship that had been blocking the entrance to the demon cave began to loosen and was pushed away by the frantic ramming of the five-colored divine ox.

After the five-colored divine ox was completely removed, it rushed out of the cave, and at that moment, eight figures also rushed out.

"Here comes the sword!"

A wandering immortal reached out and grabbed, and streaks of sword energy as thin as chopsticks flew out like lightning, instantly forming a net around the divine ox. He flicked his finger, and the sword net exploded, immediately revealing streaks of blood on the five-colored divine ox within, and a large amount of five-colored ox hair was cut off and flew away.

The other swordsman immediately combined his two swords, and the sword light, invisible to the naked eye, surrounded the divine ox and frantically cut it, instantly leaving a dense array of sword marks on its body.

Immediately afterwards, another beam of light streaked across the sky, piercing directly into the body of the five-colored divine bull demon.

A large cauldron rose up, with an invisible vortex at its mouth. The powerful attraction drew in the five-colored divine ox, and a small seal the size of a palm flew into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it grew to a giant seal more than three hundred meters high and crashed down heavily.

Among the scattered immortals was a demonic immortal who summoned twelve green-haired, red-eyed, white-boned skeletons, each around level 120, elite in appearance, skilled in swordsmanship and magic, and capable of using flying swords and magical artifacts. Together, they were quite powerful.

There was a wandering immortal of the Ghost Path, holding a seventh-tier Ten Thousand Souls Banner, who summoned tens of thousands of fierce ghosts of level 70 or above. Hundreds of fierce ghosts of level 100 or above surrounded four main ghosts of level 150 or above. The Yin energy of the ten thousand ghosts gathered and transformed into a dark cloud that stretched across tens of thousands of acres, covering the sky and the earth.

"Bone-corroding Yin Thunder!"

"The Demonic Claw that Destroys the Heart".

"The Northern Star Immortal-Slaying Curse!"

"The Six Desires and Yin Thunder Trapped the Demon Net."

The eight wandering immortals each used their own methods to quickly attract the attention of the five-colored divine ox. With a turn of its head, countless points of light appeared in the void, which quickly transformed into bolts of Bing Fire Divine Thunder.

"Qianyang One Qi Bing Fire Divine Thunder Net!"

The Five-Colored Divine Ox directly activated the Bing Fire Divine Thunder Derivative Restriction Technique, with densely packed Bing Fire Divine Thunder covering an area of ​​more than ten kilometers in radius, directly enveloping even the eight Loose Immortals and the Heavenly Strike Giant Ship.

With a deafening roar, the area within a radius of more than ten kilometers was instantly transformed into a sea of ​​flames and lightning.

"Damn it, my Ten Thousand Souls Banner."

When this wave of lightning struck, the dark clouds and deathly aura were instantly incinerated, and most of the ghosts hidden within perished.

The other demonic cultivator's Twelve Yuan Chen White Bone God Demon was not much better off. Qianyang Thunderfire was specifically designed to counter demons. Countless divine thunderbolts exploded, shattering half of them in just a few seconds. The other half was fortunately collected early, otherwise it would have also been shattered.

The others weren't having an easy time either. The level 198 legendary BOSS's ultimate move was far beyond their capabilities; it was simply not something a few scattered cultivators could withstand. In the blink of an eye, several of them were on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, their goal was not to surround and kill the BOSS, but only to attract the BOSS's attention, which they have already accomplished.

"boom!"

Amidst the raging thunder and fire, a heavy crash resounded as the colossal Sky-Strike Ship, braving the lightning and fire, slammed heavily against the entrance of the Demon Cave.

"It's now!"

Jiang Lang, who had been watching this area closely, immediately gave the order: "Everyone, attack the monster spawn pool!"

The members of the Celestial God Society, who had been holding back and suppressing the monsters emerging from the refresh pool, immediately unleashed their full power, using both magical artifacts and spells to bombard the monster refresh pool with thousands upon thousands of attacks in an instant.

The already boiling refresh pool boiled even more, and countless monsters were pulverized as soon as they took shape.

"The main force of the Fourth Regiment is on standby outside, setting up all formations to prevent the Five-Colored Divine Ox from returning."

"The main force of the three groups continues to suppress the monsters emerging from the refresh pool."

"The main force of the second regiment has entered the refresh pool."

"Other independent squadrons support the Third and Second Regiments."

"Everyone, work together to break into the pool within five minutes and destroy the core hub. If successful, rewards will be given after the battle, with a minimum reward of 500 guild contribution points and 5 taels of gold."

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers erupted in the guild channel.

For ordinary members, 500 guild contribution points and 5 taels of gold are a pretty good reward.

With numerous officials of all ranks mobilizing their troops, the guild's second team was the first to complete its assembly, leading a group of powerful officials as they charged into the boiling monster spawn pool.

At this moment, Jiang Lang arrived at the back and said to the remaining five scattered immortals:
"Please, everyone, make your move!"

The group nodded and took off towards the Demon Pool.

Xu Muchuan happened to belong to the main force second regiment, and he had already entered the monster spawning pool with most of the others.

Several thousand players entered, and the Demon Pool was able to accommodate them all.

Once everyone from the second group had entered, a wisp of smoke rose from the jade-like ground and silently drifted into the monster spawning pool.

In the midst of this chaos, no one would notice the wisp of smoke.

Upon entering the spirit respawn pool, it felt like entering water. From the outside, the pool appeared to be filled with boiling spiritual light, but upon entering, it was surprising to find that the boiling spiritual light did not affect visibility, only making it slightly blurry, and allowing one to see clearly not far away.

A wisp of smoke is a perfect match for this blurry environment; unless it is right in front of you, it is difficult to spot a wisp of smoke in a blurry environment.

Within this spirit pool, spirits and monsters continue to spawn.

From his perspective, the spirit pool was filled with countless whirlpools. Every few seconds, a spirit would crawl out of one of the whirlpools, open its eyes a few seconds later, and become intelligent. Some would crawl outwards, while others would turn around and rush into the depths of the spirit pool to attack the second group of the Heavenly God Society who had entered.

These newly born spirits also failed to notice his wisp of smoke. Occasionally, a spirit of level 100 or higher would appear and seem to have noticed him, but since he was in his celestial form at the time, he did not attack him.

Of course, this doesn't mean he can move around freely here; he can only do so on the outer perimeter. Once he enters the depths of the demon pool, he will be repelled and attacked.

The wisps of smoke drifted into the depths of the Spirit Pool and soon found the main force of the Heavenly God Society's Second Regiment deep within it.

They now formed medium-sized teams and frantically killed the monsters that kept spawning inside.

Su Yu, keeping a safe distance, moved left and right and quickly found Xu Muchuan in one of the teams. Xu Muchuan was in the team, activating a gourd to continuously spray out platinum flying knives while loudly directing his subordinates.

He carefully examined the team and the distance between himself and the few wandering immortals, silently assessing the situation and concluding that the time was not yet right.

To secure a kill, you'll definitely need to unleash your ultimate move—a combined dual sword attack—for a burst of damage and a quick kill.

Ordinary players around him probably wouldn't notice, but there are several powerful cultivators nearby who would definitely be able to sense him.

If any of them catches up with him, he'll have to flee for his life, and he might not even be able to escape.

Do not doubt their strength. Level 100 monsters and rogue cultivators who have survived the Heavenly Tribulation are completely different. Their methods are more targeted at other players.

"We must strike when they are busy attacking the core of the Demon Pool and have no time to spare."

Su Yu patiently continued to lie low.

The team ahead of him did not spot him and continued to advance.

Two minutes later, the group stopped. The leading group of loose immortals stared with fervor at the countless streams of light swirling around the depths of the demon pool, where a constantly changing seven-colored crystal sphere contained wisps of light flowing within it.

"The core of the law!"

Without needing to ask, the moment they saw the core of the law, everyone knew what benefits they would gain and what the consequences would be if they could destroy it.

The consequences would be severe, and none of them could bear them alone, but if so many players from the guild shared the burden, the consequences would be nothing.

"Gentlemen, whether we can go further in the future depends on today."

The leading immortal suppressed his fanaticism, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

“Once we make our move, the five-colored divine ox will definitely sense it and immediately go berserk and return. The Heavenly Strike Giant Ship probably won’t last long. We only have one or two minutes to break through this core of the law.”

Another wandering immortal also said with a fanatical expression:

"We have so many people, enough output, two minutes is enough!"
