Chapter 315 - 224: Consecutive Victories
On the arena, Su Yu was unaware that someone was observing him. While preparing, he was also counting down in his mind.
Meanwhile, his opponent, a Golden Horned Demon, suspended a Treasure Pearl above his head, then took out a golden gourd and a fire cauldron.
As soon as the isolating light curtain disappeared, the Horned Demon Novan tossed the fire cauldron in his hand. The cauldron soared into the air, transforming into a giant cauldron with a diameter of over 700 meters, engulfed in flames like a meteor, crashing downward.
Next, he grabbed the golden belt wrapped around his waist and threw it. The belt shot into the sky, transforming into a golden light, falling above Su Yu’s head, but was blocked by the Cyan Cloud Cover.
He decisively tossed the golden gourd in his hand, turning it towards Su Yu, chanting:
"Treasure, please turn!"
At the same time, Su Yu was already in action. With a twist of the Wind God’s Order, a divine wind appeared above the Horned Demon and fell, but was also blocked by the Treasure Pearl and could not descend.
The Horned Demon glanced mockingly. With a chant, the gourd in his hand flickered, releasing an extremely dazzling stream of light from its mouth, flashing instantly. The next second, the Cyan Cloud Cover shook violently, shattering several pieces of Qingyun.
Su Yu immediately channeled mana to replenish the Treasure’s defense, throwing the Nine-Ring Immortal Canopy into the sky, rapidly transforming into a mountain, colliding heavily with the descending fire cauldron.
"Boom!"
The raging flames exploded, engulfing an area of five to six kilometers in a blink. The Horned Demon stretched out his hand, clutching in the air to activate a forbidden spell:
"Three Yang Dry Spirit Fire Net!"
The sky full of flames transformed rapidly into a fire net covering five to six kilometers, converging upward to enwrap Su Yu and the Immortal Canopy.
Su Yu spit out a streak of starlight, shooting skyward. The next second, a hundred-meter-long sword gang streaked across the sky, tearing a massive opening in the fire net.
"True Sword Intent?"
Many spectators’ eyes brightened, Han Zhuo Fei nodded:
"Indeed, quite impressive."
On the arena, the Horned Demon Novan immediately activated another forbidden spell:
"Three Yang Dry Flame Bing Fire Divine Thunder Net!"
"Explode!"
The torn Three Yang Dry Spirit Fire Net sparkled with lightning, collapsing. The segments of the fire net swiftly transformed into Bing Fire Divine Thunder, exploding furiously, transforming the world into a fiery hell.
Su Yu gestured, and the Star God Sword returned, circling around him like a stream of light. The approaching Bing Fire Divine Thunder was cut open one by one, exploding, the flames engulfing him yet greatly diminished in power.
The Horned Demon pointed, causing the fire cauldron in the sky to shake, absorbing the surrounding violent thunder fire madly, its body radiating intense firelight, forcibly pressing down on the Nine-Ring Immortal Canopy.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow, but paid no heed. Though this cauldron increased in power due to the fire, it was, after all, only eighth-tier, a grade lower than his Treasure. It temporarily held the advantage but couldn’t overpower the Immortal Canopy for long; the focus was himself.
"Forget it, no more playing!"
He grabbed the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer, tossing it, brilliant with thunder light, then grasped with both hands lightly, infinite Gui Water Elite surging between them:
"Innate Water Thunder!"
The violent Innate Gui Water Elite and Taiyin Water exploded, unleashing a terrifying 1.44 million cold wave instantly, engulfing the arena’s flames and thunder fire. The Treasure Pearl suspended above the Horned Demon lasted only a second before being blown away.
Immediately following were waves of cold surges reaching 144,000 in each burst, quickly eroding the dual-layer defense constructed by his Magical Robe and accessories. The final protective aura only lasted three seconds before shattering.
And then, it was over. Su Yu just filled up the Nine Heavens Thunder Kill for ten seconds without the chance to use it as his opponent was already gone.
Victory +1, human score +1.
"Innate Water Thunder..."
On the main platform, several military figures and some knowledgeable Loose Immortal experts murmured in surprise:
"That Horned Demon should have had an eighth-tier defense Treasure, normal Innate Water Thunder wouldn’t have such power, right?"
"Could it be that he expended a significant amount of practice points and cultivation to upgrade it to three layers? That’s impossible, right?"
Many found it quite incredible, but that was the only reasonable explanation.
On the arena, Su Yu glanced at his remaining mana, just over 160,000, then eyed the popped-up prompt panel, lightly tapping it. Ten seconds later, another Horned Demon leaped onto the arena.
He intended to consecutively be the arena master.
Swiftly exchanging the Star God Sword in his flying sword compartment for the Cyan Gang and Purple Thunder Dual Swords, he activated the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer to charge the ultimate Nine Heavens Thunder Kill as the countdown reached the ninth second.
As soon as ten seconds were up, the separation membrane disappeared, and he unleashed a bright thunder pillar towards his opponent.
However, his opponent was also ready, unfurling a scroll depicting mountains, rivers, and mountains. The dazzling thunder pillar plunged into the scroll, disappearing without a trace, but ripples spread across the scroll, causing the depicted landscapes to topple.
Su Yu didn’t even bother checking the Nine Heavens Thunder Kill results. With a thought, the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords shone brightly, activating attached spells simultaneously, boosting attack power and speed by 100%.
Then he grasped the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords, forcibly combining them, with a heart-wrenching glint flickering briefly. A stream of light flashed and disappeared, the next second, the Horned Demon’s scroll was sliced open by an extremely sharp stream of light.
At the cut end, chaos reigned, with earth, fire, wind, and water gushing out.
The Horned Demon didn’t even have time to grieve, the protective treasure light contorted violently; defense crumbled like a collapsing sky, depleting and shattering in an instant.
The Magical Robe’s light and protective aura flickered, then a human head flew out.
Died too quickly, had no chance to fight back at all.
This explosive move is practically foolproof. Under the fusion of two swords, with double talent enhancement, the attack power and speed had already exceeded the reaction limit of this level. Plus the impact of Sword Intent, it’s simply not something a Qi Cultivation Cultivator can withstand, not even the geniuses of various races.
As long as the burst is activated, it’s basically an overpowering kill.
The only pity is that it’s a one-wave move, and once it’s used, it can’t be used again.
Fortunately, this move doesn’t consume much Mana, ending the battle in just a few seconds, with 160,000 Mana remaining.
After the opponent disappeared, he took down the Cyan Gang Sword and re-equipped the Tier Nine Star God Sword to prepare for the third opponent.
This time, he didn’t activate the big move burst. Instead, he wielded the Star God Sword to engage the opponent straightforwardly, as this opponent was also a Sword Cultivator, but their Swordsmanship was a tier below his.
On one side, the Tier Nine Star God Sword, on the other side, the Tier Seven Purple Thunder Sword, while the opponent had two Tier Eight flying swords.
This time, he didn’t use any special techniques, just relied on his superb Swordsmanship to suppress and defeat the opponent head-on.
Victory points +3, Human points +3.
The fourth opponent’s ace was a set of eight Tier Eight high-quality Taiyin Magnetic Banners, capable of forming a tremendously powerful Taiyin Magnetic Formation.
Su Yu directly consumed 30,000 Mana to activate the Nine-Ring Immortal Canopy, transforming it into a mountain to restrain the set of Tier Eight treasures, then guided the Star God Sword to harness the power of the stars above, combining the sharpness of the Immortal Sword with the Power of Space, forcibly cutting down each of the eight Tier Eight treasures.
The Nine-Ring Immortal Canopy suppressed them, making retreat impossible.
The fifth opponent was a Demon Cultivator, wielding a Tier Nine Ten Thousand Souls Banner, containing hundreds of thousands of Yin souls and fierce ghosts, with over a hundred top-level ghosts raised.
With ten thousand ghosts surrounding, even decapitation tactics couldn’t be employed.
But Su Yu didn’t panic at all. He first summoned over a thousand Divine Generals from the Nine-Ring Immortal Canopy to hold back the ghostly siege, then grasped the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer to begin charging.
Ten Thousand Thunder Strikes: Using the Purple Thunder Hammer to connect with the heavens and earth, after 60 seconds of charging, summons a Nine Heavens Purple Thunder blast against all enemies within a 50 km radius, consuming 50,000 Mana, with a cooldown of 2 hours.
The current power of the Nine Heavens Thunder Kill is 30,000 + 200% magic damage, which equates to 30,000 + (36,000*2=72,000) = 102,000 magic damage. Its unique trait, demonic purification, deals an additional 100% damage to demons and ghosts, with each thunder strike carrying as much as 200,000 power.
Su Yu couldn’t reach the opponent hidden within the surrounding of ten thousand ghosts, and the opponent couldn’t break through the protection of over a thousand level-one hundred Divine Generals guarding Su Yu for a while, only watching him charge the big move.
A whole 60 seconds of charging, forcefully gathering a thundercloud covering the entire arena.
Then, tens of thousands of heavenly thunders struck down.
Most of the fierce ghosts within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner were around level fifty or sixty; with one thunder strike, they vaporized into smoke, instantly clearing the sky.
Victory points +1, Human points +5.
"Actually achieved five consecutive wins."
A total of 5000 points of merit accumulated, along with two small merits, but only a little over 90,000 Mana remains.
"No panic!"
Su Yu activated the spell attached to the Immortal Spirit Stone necklace, instantly restoring maximum Mana by 30% + 20,000 Mana. He now had a total of 180,000 Mana, 30% being 54,000 Mana, + 20,000 Mana to restore a total of 74,000 Mana, adding to the remaining 90,000, restoring Mana to 164,000 points.
No rest time between rounds, he barely had time to restore Mana before the next opponent jumped onto the arena.
He took a deep breath and wielded the Star God Sword to meet the challenge.
It’s worth noting that after each battle, states do not refresh, but the arena does.
The remaining spells on the arena get refreshed, meaning he can’t accumulate Sword Qi on the arena this way, needing to accumulate Sword Qi anew after each battle to set up a sword net.
When Mana is ample, no one of the same level is his match.
Someone like Lu Sheng, who mastered Tier Ten treasures in advance, is after all in the minority. Not only rare but also no one dares to show it off like that.
Fallen Star Islands aren’t like Blue Mountain Island; the Yin Yang Demon Sect resides right on Blue Mountain Island, and lost treasures can still be recovered, but it’s different on this side of the Fallen Star Islands.
A Tier Ten Treasure in a race is considered a top-level treasure; taking one will weaken the opponent’s fortune and power. If you can stealthily take a top-level treasure from another race back to the main city, the military department will offer free assistance from an Immortal expert to refine the divine consciousness within the treasure.
This also means in such two-race sword duels, it’s almost impossible for anyone to dare to bring such a treasure to battle.
Hence Su Yu continued to win consecutively; each opponent was strong, but the strongest one only had two Tier Nine treasures, completely unaffected by seeing Tier Ten treasures.
Without treasures of that level, no one was his match.
He didn’t even use all three big moves; conventional means alone sufficed to defeat opponent after opponent, achieving a streak of ten consecutive wins in one go.
"Ten consecutive wins, 10,000 merit points plus 3 small merits and 1 large merit."
Su Yu glanced at his remaining 80,000 Mana, feeling he could fight three more rounds.
"The Great Divine Skill of Sky Splitting can instantly kill one."
"Overdrafting the future can strong-kill one."
"Dragon Transformation lasts for ten minutes, moving quickly could instant-kill five in a row, achieving twenty consecutive wins should be no problem."
"Twenty consecutive wins, should be considered good, right?"
