Cultivation: But Not a Game

Chapter 501 - 330: Escape, the Plan to Seize the Sea-stabilizing Pearl (Part 3)

No escape.

The encircling threat wasn’t just these deep-blue water dragons formed by elite Guishui cultivators; they were merely the appearance. The real pressure came from the entirety of this sea domain driven by the Treasure Pearl.

As long as he was within this sea domain, evasion was utterly impossible.

"Is this what an unlocked Immortal Treasure is like!"

Su Yu’s pupils blazed, and even the tenfold enhancement provided by the Primordial Spirit of the Ancient Dragon seemed somewhat inadequate in the face of the immense power stirred by the Innate Immortal Treasure.

But he wouldn’t admit defeat. He took a deep breath, his heart pounding fiercely, his blood burning like lava, unleashing even greater power to form a flowing molten dragon armor on his body, preparing to withstand the attack head-on.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

Countless weighty water dragons smashed into Su Yu. Every impact felt like planets crashing down. The molten dragon armor on Su Yu’s body twisted violently, shattering, scales underneath breaking and falling off, flesh turning to powder, while dragon blood evaporated like molten lava.

The massive true dragon seemed a frail boat in a storm, its immensely powerful body continually twisted and shattered by this unseeable might of heaven and earth.

-600 million

-700 million

-600 million

-800 million

In mere four to five seconds, over half of his six billion health had been depleted.

If it had been another Celestial Immortal, they would have perished within this brief interval.

But the mighty strength afforded by the true form of the Ancient Dragon Primordial Spirit kept him alive, and with the Life Law continuously regenerating him, he managed to withstand this celestial strength that could easily obliterate a Celestial Immortal.

"Flame of Life."

A flame, rich with powerful vitality, surged from the dragon scales. The Ancient Dragon’s life force and health rapidly recovered.

"What incredible life force!"

The eyes of Xing Luo of the Heaven Eye Clan gleamed with strange colors, nearly drooling with envy.

"Such robust vitality and physique, even with only a Demon Immortal Primordial Spirit, is stronger than a demon soul of the same mythic tier. If caught and refined..."

"What a pity there’s no chance now."

His eyes lifted, glancing at the Demon God true form holding the Treasure Pearl, while on the other side, Ao Ying was deeply piercing a luminous Dragon Finger into the light barrier of the array, piercing a hole large enough for a common person to escape. The faint glow spread through the cobweb-like cracks around the breach, continually eroding and expanding the opening.

The Celestial Immortals gathered behind Ao Ying, jointly resisting the remnants of the Sea Snake faction’s Celestial Immortals’ destruction and obstruction.

However, at this moment, there were fewer remaining Celestial Immortals from the Sea Snake clan than from the Dragon Race, and their combined strength was inferior. They could only watch helplessly as the breach widened enough to allow them to escape.

"Mr. Su, prepare to retreat!"

A clear shout snapped Su Yu out of the daze inflicted by the Demon God true form’s relentless assault using the Treasure Pearl. His eyes darted to the large breach through which some had already escaped. Regaining his focus, he spun his massive body to break away from the Demon God true form, turning to retreat.

Though he had been constantly beaten, the power of the Demon God true form lay in the Treasure Pearl, which Su Yu couldn’t withstand. But in terms of physical strength, it was still incomparable to Su Yu’s tenfold attribute burst.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yu had crossed a hundred miles, approaching the breach not far away.

Seeing Su Yu about to escape, the four-headed Yu Jun shouted sternly in varying expressions:

"Stop him."

The Sea Snake Race experts intercepting other Celestial Immortals immediately turned to block Su Yu’s path.

"Courting death!"

Su Yu surged forward, slamming the evading Sea Snake Demon Immortal, You Mu, heavily against the City Defense Array’s light barrier. His two dragon claws pierced the snake’s head and body, two 900 million damage numbers erupted, followed by his mouth opening wide, four three-kilometer-long fangs biting deeply into You Mu’s neck. With a fierce pull, half of the Demon Immortal’s neck was torn open, dealing a terrifying 1.5 billion damage, killing him instantly.

The triple-kill of a Demon Immortal shocked the remaining Celestial Immortals to a halt, none daring to advance, merely watching as the enormous Su Yu transformed into a dragon-shaped flame and quickly shrunk, diving into the breach to escape.

"Shit!"

The Demon God true form arrived, punching hard against the light barrier but not pursuing.

His God and Demon true form attached to the Treasure Pearl also had a limited duration, not much longer than Su Yu’s Ancient Dragon Primordial Spirit transformation, and charging out now wouldn’t guarantee stopping them.

Even though the Treasure Pearl was formidable, the opponents also had a Middle Grade Immortal Treasure to block it.

Without the God and Demon true form, there was indeed a risk of failure.

Despite his frustration, on the other side, the many escaped Celestial Immortals also displayed no joy.

"This time, a major defeat!"

Ao Ying sighed, speaking to Su Yu:

"Let’s gather the remnants, and return to the Dragon Castle to discuss further."

Su Yu glanced back, noting that from hundreds of millions, the army was now less than ten million, with the majority fallen, including dozens of over level 200 true dragons and thousands of flood dragons, and even Ao Ying’s giant tortoise mount carrying the great hall was trapped.

Though the giant tortoise was over level 300, unlike a Demon Immortal but a Wild Beast, it couldn’t use Transformation Skills. Such a small Cave Immortal could shrink and escape, but a beast of such size couldn’t.

The group made their way back, three giant dragons flying at the top, Ao Ying said to Su Yu:

"Mr. Su, rest assured, though we’ve lost, the three great contributions promised before will not diminish."

Su Yu waved his hand, saying:

"Since we lost, let’s leave it at that for now. We’ll wait for the next time."

Ao Ying smiled, saying:

"Mr. Su, don’t decline. Since I made a promise, I won’t break it. Besides, don’t take this defeat to heart; victory and defeat are common in warfare. We may have failed this time, but we can win the next."

"It’s just surprising the Sea Snake Race had such experts we’ve never seen before. They must have been deployed from elsewhere; we’ll need to prepare more thoroughly next time."
