Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 90: Magic Weapon Self-Destructs, Leading to Bankruptcy
"Someone's up to no good!"

Xie Fenghua, based on previous changes, made a guess and immediately issued an order:

"All squadrons, disperse and find the rats hiding in the corners."

Then, looking at the other scattered immortals, he said in a deep voice:

"They can't hold out much longer. To avoid any unforeseen complications, let's take action now."

The immortal Qi Weifeng swallowed hard and said:

“If we act now, each of us will lose at least a thousand merits afterwards.”

"So what? Merit can be recovered if it's lost. The power of the Heavenly Dao Laws is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"can!"

The three made a decision and decisively summoned one of their rarely used seventh-tier magic weapons, activating the overload of the magic weapon's core. The magic weapon trembled violently and lit up with a dazzling spiritual light.

Just then, blue light gathered in the water on the surface of the Law Core, which was submerged by spiritual water, and quickly coalesced into a figure with a blue cloud canopy on its head, which hovered in front of the Law Core.

Xu Muchuan, who was in the crowd, was taken aback and shouted:

"It's him!"

Su Yu glanced at him and then looked away. She took out the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner and placed it in front of her. Then she summoned the Sun-Covering Azure Sparrow Twin Swords, which she had just taken the time to refine again, and directly activated the overload of the flying sword core.

"Boom boom boom!"

The three seventh-tier magic treasures exploded simultaneously, transforming into blazing suns that crashed down, instantly melting and collapsing the spiritual water that had been stabilizing the sea.

At the same time, the two sixth-order flying swords, Yanri and Qingque, which had accompanied Su Yu for a long time, also exploded, turning into two smaller suns that rose up.

The five suns, three large and two small, collided and merged. The two smaller suns vanished into nothingness, while the three larger ones shrank and fell.

The stagnant spiritual water continued to dissolve and collapse, and the power of the sun also weakened and shrank accordingly. Judging from its dissolving and falling speed, the spiritual water, which had covered the core of the law for more than 300 meters, was completely unable to withstand the power of the self-destruction of three seventh-order magic treasures.

Without hesitation, Su Yu activated the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner, pouring all of his remaining 23510 mana into it. The banner swelled, and a vortex opened on its surface, from which a torrent of surging sword energy poured out.

Hundreds of sword energies converged like a dragon, heading towards the sun. After a violent explosion, all the sword energies collapsed, and the sun that was bombarded was only shrunk by half.

But the next second, Su Yu, who had already taken the pill to restore his mana, once again activated the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner with all his might, and an even larger torrent of sword energy surged out, completely annihilating the sun that had shrunk by half.

The remaining two suns had already fallen in front of Su Yu. He had a strong premonition that he absolutely could not block this attack, and that he would surely die if he tried to block it.

But
Su Yu recalled what had happened a dozen seconds ago
At that time, he was still hesitant about how far he should interfere before retreating, but as the Celestial Gods began to self-destruct their magical treasures one after another, the undying spiritual light that had reacted once when he obtained the Sea-Suppressing Pearl suddenly reappeared in his mind. Then, the panel suddenly unfolded in front of him, and a new task prompt appeared on it:
"Hint: Heavenly Dao Quest: Protect the Law Core at the Monster Spawn Point in the Myriad Demon Cave. If you successfully protect the Law Core from destruction, you will be rewarded with 1000 Merit Points, 1 Heavenly Heart Point, and 1 Heavenly Dao Law Fragment."

Without needing an explanation, upon seeing this prompt, he instantly understood what was going on and what the Heavenly Heart and the Fragments of Laws were.

This was a reward he couldn't refuse, no matter the cost.

Therefore, Su Yu took a deep breath and resolutely activated the core of the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner, causing it to overload and self-destruct.

"Boom!"

What does it mean for a seventh-tier rare magic weapon, filled with 108 star souls, to self-destruct?
Unimaginable power transformed into an even larger starlight sun, directly engulfing the two suns formed by the self-destruction of the seventh-tier magic treasures of the two rogue immortals. The aftershocks swept across like a tide, instantly annihilating a large area.

"grass!"

Xie Fenghua, who was thrown hundreds of meters away by the self-destruction of the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner, was both shocked and furious, and shouted loudly:

"Who are you, and why do you oppose my Heavenly Gods Society?"

Qi Weifeng also shouted:

“If you leave, my Heavenly God Society is willing to offer you 10000 taels of gold.”

Su Yu straightened the crooked Azure Cloud Canopy above his head, and said with a cold laugh:
"Why should I be your enemy? I'd like to ask you why you're my enemy! Why did you try to kill me without saying a word before?"

Many players from the Celestial Gods Guild were stunned, most of them confused, while some quick-witted ones asked:

"Are you one of the people who watched the show earlier?"

"I was just watching the show from the sidelines. If you wanted to clear the area, you could have just said so. Why did you kill people without even giving a warning?"

Xie Fenghua, Qi Weifeng, and some others who knew the inside story all turned to look at Xu Muchuan, whose face was grim. They opened their mouths, but for a moment, they didn't know what to say.

However, the approaching roar of the five-colored divine ox overhead quickly brought them back to their senses. Knowing that this was not the time to argue about right and wrong, Xie Fenghua asked in a deep voice:
"If you yield now, I will offer you ten thousand taels of gold, and all grudges will be wiped clean. Otherwise, you will become the mortal enemy of my Heavenly God Society, and more than a dozen of my Heavenly God Society's Loose Immortals will hunt you down to the bitter end!"

Su Yu chuckled:
"I'm so scared! I'm a formal disciple of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. One of my fellow disciples was a senior disciple of the sect. I'd like to see how you're going to hunt us down."

"Damn it, you think you can't do anything to mere Qi Refining disciples?"

Xie Fenghua opened his mouth and spat out a large cyan cauldron, which instantly expanded to nearly 300 meters in size. A vortex of cyan light appeared at the mouth of the cauldron, and an invisible force pressed down to bind Su Yu.

Another immortal, Li Zhao, unleashed a magnificent halberd crackling with lightning and hurled it fiercely. The Azure Cloud Canopy shook violently, its defensive power instantly dropping by 30,000.

Immediately following was an explosion of endless lightning centered on the halberd, instantly engulfing him.

Amidst the thunder, Su Yu calmly activated the Immortal Spirit Stone to restore his mana, channeling it into the Azure Cloud Canopy to maintain defense. He then reluctantly retrieved the Dragon Scale Flying Boat and sighed softly.

"This time the losses are huge."

He looked up at the sky again and sighed:
"You guardian are really something, why did you run so far? You caused me such a big loss."

The ship self-destructed, taking with it a seventh-tier flying boat, a seventh-tier rare magic weapon, and two sixth-tier flying swords. "Hiss!"

Su Yu reached out and covered her chest, feeling a deep heartache.

But at this point, there was no way to back down. Both sixth-tier flying swords and the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner had self-destructed. If they retreated, all these losses would be wasted.

The sunk costs were too high; he had no way out.

Fortunately, the rewards from the Heavenly Path Mission were so good that they were enough to make up for all the losses and even leave some to go.

With a sigh, Su Yu patted the core of the law behind him and called out:

"Hurry up and gather a few BOSSes nearby."

Then the core of the law did not react, and he guessed that this thing only had instincts and no self-awareness.

If it had self-awareness, the gods wouldn't be able to break through at all.

Tens of thousands of monsters spawn every second. If they have self-awareness, they can spawn monsters in front of them for protection, or only spawn big monsters or BOSSes. Even if they only spawn one level 100 BOSS per second, they can easily sweep away the Heavenly Gods.

Considering its completely unintelligent reactions, it proves that this monster's refresh point has no self-awareness and is purely a mechanical reaction.

Even the respawning guardians can't be controlled, otherwise they wouldn't have been lured away from here.

"We just have to fight!"

Abandoning his illusions, Su Yu tossed the flying boat in his hand into the air. With a thought, he activated the already damaged Dragon Scale Flying Boat's essence, causing the flying boat to shake violently.

"Damn, even a seventh-tier flying boat self-destructed? Has this guy gone mad?"

"Boom!"

The massive dragon-scale flying boat shattered inch by inch, and a destructive force exploded from within, directly blasting away the cauldron hundreds of meters above its head. The explosive lightning swept away the cauldron, and the halberd was sent flying.

The rampaging, destructive orbs swept across the area, their unimaginable power far beyond what ordinary players could withstand. This single wave instantly wiped out thousands of players from the Celestial Society.

"Fucked!"

Being repeatedly blocked by a mere player who wasn't even a Loose Immortal, Xie Fenghua and the other Loose Immortals from the Heavenly God Society were extremely furious. Qi Weifeng took a deep breath and said:

"I want an extra layer of law power among the spoils of war later."

The group looked at the halberd in his hand, which was now cracked and radiating a chilling aura, and nodded in agreement.

"no problem."

Qi Weifeng raised his hand and threw it fiercely, the halberd instantly piercing the air and crashing down.

However, at this moment, Su Yu had already put away the Azure Cloud Canopy and transformed into a Heavenly Ghost, directly using water escape to disappear into the water.

The seventh-order halberd transformed into a lightning pillar that locked onto the Heavenly Ghost, then veered off course and struck the core of the law directly, exploding into a destructive lightning ball with a diameter of over a thousand meters.
-
7240000
An extremely terrifying burst of damage exploded, and the core of the law's health bar dropped significantly in an instant, but still had 23100000 remaining.

"grass!"

The Heavenly Demon emerged from behind the core of the laws, reverting to its true form. A strange smile appeared on its face as it looked at the dumbfounded members of the Heavenly God Society, and it gestured with its hand:
"Suppress the Sea!"

An invisible force reinforced the spiritual water once more, and then the Azure Cloud Canopy was summoned to guard the core of the law, blocking the attacks from the scattered Heavenly Gods.

He's not stupid; how could he possibly withstand the self-destruction of a seventh-tier magic weapon? Besides, he couldn't withstand it anyway.

Even if the Azure Cloud Canopy is equipped with the Auspicious Cloud Protection spell and is still usable, it still won't stop it. Besides, this spell has already been used once before and is still on cooldown.

Although this core of the law has no consciousness, it still has 30 million health points left, enough to withstand several large waves of attacks.

"Continue the attack!"

At this moment, Xie Fenghua received a message from Jiang Lang:
"How much longer? The Five-Colored Divine Ox used its Qianyang Qi Binghuo Divine Thunder Net to clear the field, and it has already gone down."

Xie Fenghua looked up and saw Su Yu being overwhelmed by the dense attack. The Azure Cloud Canopy was swaying in the face of the dense encirclement and was defeated after only two seconds.

Several beams of light rose and then vanished in succession, before the last precious pearl rose and hung down a layer of precious light to support it.

He then looked behind Su Yu, where the core of the law still had 15520000 health points remaining.

At this moment, he was filled with despair, staring intently at Su Yu, his voice bitter:
"It's probably too late."

"Roar!"

A roar that sounded like a bull or a beast came from behind. Everyone panicked and turned around to see a five-colored divine bull engulfed in flames crashing towards them like a dump truck.

The extreme rage of the five-colored divine bull had materialized, and its five-colored fur was ablaze.

After rushing in, it let out a deafening roar like a bull, and crashed straight into the center of the crowd like a dump truck.

Upon seeing this, many players from the Celestial Gods Society scattered and fled. Several rogue immortals were even faster, and when they turned around, they saw the Five-Colored Divine Ox return to the core of the law and open its mouth to unleash a series of divine thunderbolts like a machine gun.

Before the core of the law, Su Yu, who was exhausted and about to give up, let out a long breath.

"Fortunately, we made it in time."
