Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 89 The Core of the Laws, the Seven-Colored Crystal Sphere

The group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. The rogue immortal in the center then shouted loudly:
"The accompanying independent squadron is responsible for clearing out the monsters that are resisting the respawn, while the main force will concentrate its firepower to destroy the core of the law!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many of the well-prepared players from the Celestial Gods Society launched their attacks, bombarding the seven-colored crystal sphere with various strikes.

The moment they attacked the core of the law of the monster's spawn point, the five-colored divine bull above the demon cave paused for a moment. The next second, it roared to the sky, its bull-like and beast-like roar deafening. The divine bull's body twisted and exploded invisibly, its body rapidly expanding. In an instant, it transformed into a giant five-colored divine bull with a body length of over one kilometer, and slammed its head hard into the giant ship that struck the sky.

"boom!"

A violent shockwave exploded outwards, causing the shield on the surface of the Sky Strike Giant Ship, which had always been as hard as ice, to suddenly sink, and the ship tilted outwards, revealing a crack in the Demon Cave.

"withstand!"

"I can't handle it, this thing is too big."

"Even if you can't hold on, you have to hold on and try to persevere as long as possible."

"boom!"

Another deafening thud resounded, and an invisible shockwave exploded, forcefully blasting a crack nearly a hundred meters wide into the giant ship. But this was still not enough to allow the five-colored divine ox to squeeze in.

Within the monster spawn pool, at the command of the Immortal Xie Fenghua, the main force of several thousand people launched an attack simultaneously.

A flying sword slammed into the seven-colored crystal ball and disappeared without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

As the treasure seal crashed down, it was as if it had been plunged into a swamp. Ripples spread across the surface of the seven-colored crystal sphere, and an invisible force field rippled outwards, like a star ring, emitting a powerful attraction that drew the treasure seal into the crystal sphere.

A fire dragon flew to the sky above the seven-colored crystal ball, opened its huge mouth and bit down, but instead plunged into it and was forcibly swallowed.

"Oh no, where did my flying sword go?"

"My magical artifact has also lost its connection."

Within seconds of the attack, gasps of surprise rippled through the team.

Xie Fenghua's expression remained unchanged as she loudly commanded:
"Continue to attack with the main body of the flying sword magic weapon. You can use spare or unused flying sword magic weapons. Report all losses after the battle, and the guild will provide full compensation."

The guild members, who had been in a flurry of activity, calmed down and took out their spare or previously discarded flying swords and magical artifacts from their personal spaces to refine on the spot and continue their attack.

Flying swords and magical artifacts bombarded the seven-colored crystal sphere, only to be swallowed up one by one.

In just over ten seconds, tens of thousands of flying swords and magical artifacts were blasted into the seven-colored crystal ball.

Finally, after the core of the law absorbed a certain amount of flying swords and magical treasures, an invisible wave swept across the crystal sphere, and a value suddenly appeared on it: 98545122/100000000.

Xie Fenghua and several other guild leaders were overjoyed at this and loudly commanded:

"The core of the law has shown its health bar, continue the attack."

As he spoke, he took out a discarded flying sword magic weapon from his personal space and temporarily refined it before blasting it into the seven-colored crystal ball.

"Wow, they've really gone all out!"

Su Yu transformed into a wisp of smoke and circled to the edge of the seven-colored crystal ball. Even a rogue immortal could not detect the lurking figure so close by amidst such a fierce attack. He witnessed the entire scene and was both surprised by the Heavenly God Society's commitment and shocked by the defensive method of this core of law.

To attack its true form, one has to throw in so many flying swords and magical treasures for it to devour before its health bar even appears.

This single requirement effectively eliminates any possibility for individuals or small guilds; given the limited resources of small guilds, they probably wouldn't even be able to break through the enemy's defenses.

It's even more impossible for an individual to destroy it, unless they're willing to use a few ninth or tenth-tier magic treasures to fill the hole.

Su Yu observed for only a short while and immediately realized that the flying swords and magic weapons needed to fill the pit were not about quantity, but about overall quality. One ninth-tier magic weapon could be equivalent to thousands or even tens of thousands of low- to mid-level magic weapons. If you were willing to take out two or three ninth-tier magic weapons to fill the pit, you could also get your health bar back up.

So this is impossible; only a madman would bring out three ninth-tier magic treasures to do this.

The core of the law displays a health bar of exactly one hundred million, with no defense strength or damage reduction; the damage is determined by the amount of attack.

Its defense is undeniably strong, but it can't withstand a combined attack from thousands of people; even the strongest health bar will eventually be worn down.

In the Other Shore, most guilds' main raid groups typically have around 5,000 members, with each member's spell damage averaging around 500 to 600.

The reason there are only so many is that everyone has flying swords and magical treasures, and not many people specialize in magic.

Su Yu only learned one fire magic technique when he first started learning it, but he washed it all away later. Now, apart from the water magic that the Zhenhai Pearl automatically taught him, he doesn't know any other common five elements magic.

He was like that, and the others were basically the same. Many of them didn't know any of the common Five Elements spells, so although there were many of them, their output wasn't very high.

One round deals a maximum of two million damage, ten rounds would deal over twenty million, and it would take nearly forty rounds to destroy it.

Considering that they dare not use flying swords or magical artifacts to attack directly, they can only use spells. Casting spells takes a certain amount of time, about two or three minutes for forty rounds.

We can't let them get their way!

Su Yu pressed her temples, her eyes darting around, determined to sabotage their operation.

The wisp of smoke drifted backward until it revealed its true form about a kilometer away from them. Then, it reached out and opened the space of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, from which endless, rich spiritual water gushed out.

With a thought, he communicated with the Primordial Goddess, asking her to help open the portal to the Zhenhai Pearl Realm.

With their combined efforts, the two opened the passage to a round gate hundreds of meters high in just ten seconds, and surging spiritual water poured out from the Zhenhai Pearl domain.

The outflow of water, even more exaggerated than the discharge of a giant reservoir, instantly submerged the surrounding area and quickly extended to the feet of the numerous Celestial Gods players who were besieging the core of the law in the center of the spirit pool.

An independent squadron located on the edge quickly realized what was happening, and everyone looked puzzled:
Where does the water come from?

"The spiritual energy is so strong!"

In just four or five seconds, even more spiritual water surged in like a torrent, and the water level rose at an extremely rapid pace.

"Something's wrong."

The company commander frowned and said to one of his men:
"Captain, take some men and go check it out."

"it is good."

A small group broke away from the main force and flew upwards into the torrent.

In a corner of the demon pool, Su Yu pulled Ao Run out of the spirit cage space and threw him into the water, saying:
"Kill everyone, no matter who they are."

Ao Run quickly transformed into her true form, which was larger than it had been a few months ago. After a period of frantic leveling up, she had reached level 139 and become even stronger.

Ao Run surged forward with the torrent and soon encountered the approaching Celestial God Society squad. Her massive body spun in the water, creating a giant wave that shot into the sky.

The group instinctively dodged to the side, only to see a pure blue ice dragon rush out. A blast of icy cold air from its mouth instantly froze them, and its thick tail slammed into the ice with a loud bang, instantly killing all twenty members of the team.

In the water, Ao Run is as if divinely aided, and his strength can be fully unleashed.

The Dragon-Walking Technique activated the spiritual water, creating a giant wave over two hundred meters high that surged towards the Heavenly God Society squadron. The dragon's head emerged from the water, its whiskers blazing brightly, as countless elite Gui Water essences gathered.

"Gui Water Divine Thunder Net!"

The boundless elites of Gui Water gathered into countless Gui Water Divine Thunders, forming a dense net. They exploded with a roar, transforming into countless elites of Gui Water. Under Ao Run's urging, they repeatedly condensed into elites of Gui Water to bombard the enemy. This cycle repeated itself, bombarding the enemy back and forth, until the more than two hundred men in the squadron were completely defeated.

"What? There's a level 139 terrifying dragon?"

Xie Fenghua was stunned when she received the message from her subordinates.

"How could a dragon spawn here? Isn't that an aquatic monster?" Another rogue immortal, Qi Weifeng, shook his head and said:

"It's not impossible; dragons can also have other attributes."

"This is a minor issue. Send two squadrons to intercept them and tell them that they don't need to kill the dragon, just stall for two minutes."

Xie Fenghua nodded and quickly issued orders in the command channel.

Just then, a giant wave over two hundred meters high surged in, causing chaos within the group:
"What huge waves!"

"There seems to be a dragon boss inside."

Xie Fenghua, who was in the process of deploying troops, quickened his pace and issued the order, channeling his magic into his voice as he shouted:

"Don't panic, everyone. It's just a wave created by the dragon using its walking technique. Without enough water, its power is limited. Everyone, use your qi to take to the air and continue the attack."

A flurry of activity erupted as the crowd rose into the air, the giant waves crashing beneath their feet. A faint blue dragon could be seen skimming across the bottom of the waves.

Several rogue immortals glanced at it and then looked away, continuing to cast spells to attack the core of the law.

They didn't take this level 139 dragon seriously, even though the terrifying template wasn't high-level and any one of them could handle it.

The priority now is to destroy the core of the law as quickly as possible; everything else is secondary.

However, this wave was just the beginning. Soon, a second wave surged in, and the water level rose directly from 200 meters to more than 300 meters.

A dozen seconds later, at the fortieth second, the third giant wave surged in, and the water level exceeded 500 meters.

Most importantly, the water level had already reached the bottom of the seven-colored crystal ball, and another rise of more than 100 meters would submerge it. It was only at this point that the scattered immortals realized something was wrong.

Where did all this water come from?

Xie Fenghua hesitated for only a second before saying to the wandering immortal Zhang Yunze:

"Brother Zhang, could you please go and see what's going on?"

Zhang Yunze nodded, transformed into a streak of light, and rushed towards the direction from which the giant wave was coming. He had only flown less than a thousand meters when he saw another giant wave surging in. He raised his hand and pressed down, and the boundless primordial energy in the void gathered into a hundred-acre grasping hand and pressed down.

"boom!"

The giant wave shattered directly from the center.

Su Yu, who was sitting cross-legged at the entrance of Zhenhai Zhudao, immediately stood up and mentally communicated with Ao Run to return.

Zhang Yunze broke through three layers of giant waves to reach a corner of the Demon Pool. In the distance, he saw what appeared to be a huge blue halo, from which endless spiritual water was gushing out.

Just as he was about to approach, he was suddenly thrown backward. A wave of icy cold swept across the spot where he had just been, and then the water exploded, revealing a beautiful, ice-blue dragon that emerged from the water and stared intently at him.

He immediately perked up, holding the black banner in one hand and taking out a string of white bone beads, which he threw out. The beads rapidly expanded in mid-air, transforming into house-sized white bone demons that spewed demonic fire and emitted strange cries.

Ao Run raised his head and roared, spewing out a blast of icy cold air. He then extended his dragon claw and pressed down, sending out a claw no smaller than Zhang Yunze's grappling hand.

"Does he cultivate Taoist practices?"

Zhang Yunze immediately focused his attention, waved the black banner in his hand, and a series of demonic shadows trailing long black smoke rushed towards Ao Run.

With this side blocked, Su Yu continued to unleash wave after wave of giant waves that surged in all directions. Zhang Yunze was entangled by Ao Run and couldn't free his hands. Two more giant waves surged out, and the water surface quickly submerged the core of the law.

"Damn, what is Zhang Yunze doing?"

A layer of spiritual water hundreds of meters thick blocked the way, preventing most spells from penetrating. Xie Fenghua anxiously inquired, and after receiving the answer from Zhang Yunze, he angrily cursed:
"Damn, you didn't even say anything when you were blocked?"

His eyes darted back and forth, and he took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"If the spells fail, switch to unimportant flying swords and magical artifacts, and keep self-destructing. The guild will compensate for all losses after the battle."

We've already fought this far, invested so much, there's no room for regret now, we can only go all out and fight on.

The power generated by the self-destruction of the flying sword magic weapon was enormous. Even after being weakened by hundreds of meters of water, it still far exceeded the power of the previous spell bombardment.

In just over ten seconds, the core of the law's health bar was reduced to only over thirty million.

When Su Yu's health bar dropped below 30 million, he heard a series of thunderous sounds. Then, a deafening roar came from above. The Sky Strike Giant Ship blocking the entrance of the Demon Cave was smashed open by the Five-Colored Divine Bull, which was extremely angry. The Divine Bull completely ignored the Sky Strike Giant Ship that had been overturned and turned around to enter the Demon Cave.

"Prepare the formation!"

With Jiang Lang's command, layers of mysterious ice, raging flames, and dark energy unfolded in the center of the demon cave passage, forming a barrier.

The five-colored divine ox fell, and the shattered ice blocked it for a moment.

It continued to sink, and the second layer of the Heavenly Profound Ice Array shattered, blocking the attack for a moment.

Next, the third layer, the Heavenly Profound Ice Array.

The fourth layer is the Heavenly Blazing Fire Formation.

Layer upon layer of arrays intercepted the falling force of the five-colored divine ox, finally exhausting its power.

At this point, Jiang Lang continued to issue orders:

"The main force of the 3rd and 4th Regiments is ready to concentrate fire."

He paused for a moment and then continued:
"Those who don't deal enough damage can directly self-destruct their flying sword magic weapon, and the guild will compensate them after the battle."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless fireworks exploded. The self-destruction power of the flying sword magic weapon was extremely great. The self-destruction power of magic weapons of the fourth rank and above was already enough to break through defenses, and the self-destruction power of the sixth rank flying sword magic weapon was enough to cause great damage.

Even when the Five-Colored Divine Ox unleashed its great supernatural power, transforming heaven and earth, and its physical strength increased dramatically, it could not stop the numerous magical treasures from self-destructing and was forcibly stopped.

Having forced him to stop, Xie Fenghua, inside the Demon Pool, received the message from Jiang Lang and decisively gave the following order:

"Elite team in position, prepare a batch of unused ordinary sixth-tier flying sword magic weapons to self-destruct."

At the center of the group, a team stepped forward, each taking out their pre-prepared flying swords or magical artifacts to refine them anew.

"This wave should be able to destroy the core of this law directly."

Xie Fenghua held a seventh-tier magic weapon in his hand, preparing to self-destruct at the last moment to seize the final blow. The other loose immortals did the same, unaware that the water flow had begun to change.

"it's time!"

Su Yu pressed her hand to her forehead, the white light in her pupils disappeared, and she gently exhaled:

"Suppress the Sea!"

An invisible force exploded outwards from him, and the river water in the affected area suddenly froze.

The water flowed as usual, but it was as if it were frozen. The power generated by the Heavenly God's self-destructing flying sword magic weapon struck the water as if it had struck an ice-covered stone, splashing up large sprays of water that looked like shattered ice.

"what?"

Everyone was shocked.
