Chapter 317 - 226: Myriad Demons True Form, Chaotic Qi
"Congratulations on your 24-victory streak!"
Su Yu had just stepped off the platform when he received a transmission from Cheng Shayu:
"You’re impressive. General Han deeply appreciates you!"
Su Yu replied modestly:
"They were too weak."
Cheng Shayu laughed heartily:
"You’re right, they were indeed too weak."
"There are three absolute seeds among the Horned Demon People, you’ve defeated two, and there’s one more who’ll likely be waiting for you. Be careful when you go up next time."
Su Yu nodded seriously:
"I’ll be careful."
"Good luck, regardless of victory or defeat, after this battle the general will apply for absolute seed status for you. With your record, you can directly skip the assessment."
"I won’t disappoint the seniors and the general."
"Good luck!"
After closing the communication, Su Yu rotated his neck, noticing the completely different attitude of other contestants around him, feeling pleased.
"24 victories, a total of 24000 merit points and 3 small merits, 2 large merits."
Su Yu stroked his chin thoughtfully:
"The Dragon Transformation and Time Sword can’t be used again, I can only use Sky Splitting one more time, then it’s just regular means. If mana is fully restored, combined with Sky Splitting, there’s a chance to challenge the last absolute seed of the Horned Demon People."
"Once I go on stage, the Horned Demon People will surely target me directly. Only by defeating him can I have a chance to win a few more, accumulate up to 30 victories or higher to gain more large merits."
The combat rule is that everyone can go up three times, as long as they are not dead, they can keep going up.
Theoretically, one can defeat all 50 contestants on the opposite side once, theoretically accumulating....
"Well, adding the ten extra matches just now, a total of 60 victories, 60000 contribution points, 3 small merits, 6 large merits."
"Wow!"
The merit points and small merits are alright, but those large merits...."
Let’s put it this way, the value of military achievements isn’t inferior to the small and large merits of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, combining three large merits might exchange for an ordinary Tier Nine Treasure, and six large merits can surely exchange for a Tier Nine Treasure.
"Once it’s fully accumulated, I can directly exchange for a Tier Nine Treasure Flying Sword then it would be perfect."
By then, having two Tier Nine Treasure Flying Swords in hand....
"Tsk tsk!"
It’s simply wonderful.
While resting, one of the three absolute seeds among the humans, Xia Haonchen, stood up slowly, glanced at Su Yu who was meditating, and stepped onto the platform.
"Defeating two absolute seeds consecutively, you will definitely become famous, but how can I let you hog the limelight. What you can do, I, Xia Haonchen, can also achieve."
Half an hour later, Xia Haonchen, who had won three consecutive battles, saw one of the absolute seeds of the Horned Demon People.
The three-headed, six-armed true form stood on the platform, with Tier Nine Treasure and Sword Intent together, yet it was difficult to break through the defense.
His flying sword was strong, but its armor-breaking priority couldn’t reach the level of the Law of Space. The formidable defense and damage reduction of the three-headed, six-armed true form negated most of the attacks, and even combined tactics were hard to be fatal.
Ultimately, after enduring five waves of attacks from the three-headed, six-armed true form, his Protective Treasure was knocked away, leading to defeat.
After Xia Haonchen, the other two absolute seeds also stepped onto the stage.
The Horned Demon People were no less unwilling to concede, and experts came forth to confront them.
Both sides fiercely contended, with victories and defeats on each side.
But among them, one exceedingly powerful Horned Demon People attracted Su Yu’s attention, who had condensed the True Body of Ten Thousand Beasts, being extraordinarily strong, defeating all three human absolute seeds.
After defeating the last person, he looked towards the human side, pointing at Su Yu with a beckoning gesture.
Everyone looked at Su Yu, who accepted the challenge with a slight smile.
Having rested for over three hours, aside from two trump cards, all other means were cooled down. Ready to go on stage.
He called up the panel again, choosing to step into the ring.
In the next instant, he vanished, reappearing on the platform.
The moment he went on stage, everyone was invigorated.
"This is the last strong enemy. Defeat him, and the sixty victories are in hand."
"After defeating three human absolute seeds consecutively, defeating him will surely gain me immense fortune, smoothing my path of cultivation."
Horned Demon Queenn summoned forth a treasure banner, black-colored, embroidered with numerous exotic beasts. He sprayed a mouthful of essence onto it, operating the Supreme Dao Skill Taishang Zongzhao Universal Command, and the banner flickered, gray light emerging to form a vortex, from which the spirits of numerous beasts flew out, swallowing into his mouth.
With each beast spirit consumed, his body expanded a circle, revealing some beast-like features.
After swallowing dozens of beast spirits, he stood towering at seventy-eight meters, no longer resembling the Horned Demon People, transforming into a bizarre beast covered in scales, two-headed, dozen arms, with horns on the head, spine teeth on the back, and three tails.
"Being able to master the art of beast summoning to this degree is extremely rare."
Su Yu’s gaze withdrew from this form, far exceeding the other absolute seed with the three-headed, six-armed true form, retracting the Nine-Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer in exchange for the Nine-Auspice Immortal Canopy.
As the countdown ended, Queenn’s two heads simultaneously opened their mouths, spewing geysers of earth, fire, wind, and water into the air.
Meanwhile, twelve arms rose, immediately condensing hundreds of divine thunders, like shuttles pouring down.
Su Yu decisively gathered Primordial Water Thunder, reaching out to grasp it, and the Gui Water Elite combined with Lunar True Water exploded, a violent cold tide sweeping across half the battlefield, instantly smashing the torrents of earth, fire, wind, and water.
Queenn’s heart trembled, reaching for the sky virtually.
"True Body of Ten Thousand Beasts, Reverse the Five Elements."
The earth, fire, wind, and water gathered from the platform quickly converged towards the True Body of Ten Thousand Beasts, forming a gray curtain of light, the raging Primordial Water Thunder bombarding it, the terrifying cold tide capable of easily demolishing a hundred-level BOSS merely causing the curtain to tremble slightly.
"Is its defense this strong?"
While watching the match, I knew this move was potent, but facing it firsthand, I realize it’s stronger than anticipated.
Su Yu was caught by surprise, but his actions didn’t slow. He tossed the Nine-Auspice Immortal Canopy, burning 150,000 mana to push it to its limit, transforming into a towering 10-kilometer mountain falling down.
The Ninth-grade Treasure was fully activated, and even before the treasured canopy arrived, the energy of heaven and earth was already being compressed and distorted, causing the gray light screen, which even innate water thunders could not shake, to begin slowly descending.
"Immortal Spirit Stone!"
Activating the necklace to recover some mana, Su Yu drew the Star God Sword and invoked the Great Divine Skill of Sky Splitting, fiercely slashing down.
The wave of Spatial Law swept through, the light screen trembled violently but was not torn apart.
"What?"
Su Yu’s pupils slightly widened, somewhat incredulous.
Since mastering this Great Divine Skill, it was the first time encountering a situation where Sky Splitting couldn’t cut through.
"Even the Spatial Law can’t break through, could this gray light screen be Chaotic Power?"
Although internally shocked, his hands moved swiftly, the Star God Sword repeatedly slashed, yet the gray light persisted.
"This is your ultimate move, it is strong, but still lacking."
The true form of Wan Yao laughed heartily:
"Try my Little Chaos Divine Light!"
He stretched his hand down and pressed into emptiness, gathering the Power of the Five Elements to form a wisp of gray light that shone over.
Alarm bells were ringing in Su Yu’s heart, and he was fully focused.
The gray light swept across several kilometers, and the Cyan Cloud Cover shook directly, shattering and falling down. He barely managed to activate the defense of the Magical Robe, which shook vigorously but didn’t break.
"Over a million attack power?"
Su Yu immediately shook his head:
"No, it should be only three to four hundred thousand, but the priority of Chaotic Power is so high that the Cyan Cloud Cover’s damage reduction is ineffective."
Having achieved success with one strike, Kui En smiled slightly, more than a dozen arms rejoined to concentrate the Power of the Five Elements, once again condensing an unremarkable chaotic energy to shoot over.
Su Yu concentrated entirely, gripping the Star God Sword and invoking the True Sword Intent to directly confront the gray light and slashed down.
"Boom!"
A violent airwave exploded, he remained unmoved.
The Tier Nine Flying Sword combined with True Sword Intent and the Spatial Law, forcibly blocked the Chaotic Power.
"What?"
Kui En was equally astonished. Since forming the true form of Wan Yao and mastering Chaotic Power, this move had always been effective, with opponents unable to resist except by force. This was the first time he had seen anyone directly confronting and blocking this move.
"Again!"
The Five Elements combined, and another gray light shot forth.
Su Yu also unhesitatingly slashed down with a sword.
"Boom!"
The Chaotic Power was annihilated once more.
Three swords in succession, the Sky Splitting Great Divine Skill ended, but Kui En also did not continue to condense Chaotic Power.
"Damn it, how is this guy’s mana so exaggerated?"
The mana of the true form of Wan Yao exceeded 150,000, and he had never encountered an opponent at the Qi Refining level, yet he couldn’t outlast the opponent.
He knew that condensing Chaotic Power consumed too much mana, and the mana consumption was too large to withstand the full activation of Ninth-grade Treasures.
But at their level, only big moves like Chaotic Power could handle the opponent; without it, ordinary means caused no threat.
The opponent’s sudden interruption made Su Yu momentarily stunned, and he immediately reacted the next second:
"His mana is exhausted!"
Resolutely pulling out the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer to begin charging a big move, while soaring into the air to the top of the Nine Sections Immortal Canopy. The surface of the immortal canopy’s reliefs lit up, summoning one after another Flaming God Generals, condensing Binghuo Divine Thunder one after another to bombard the chaotic light screen.
After ten seconds, a Nine Heavens Thunder Kill bombarded down, and the barely holding light screen instantly collapsed. The towering ten-kilometer Nine Sections Immortal Canopy heavily descended, pressing the true form of Wan Yao into the immortal canopy.
"Immortal Fire, rise!"
Countless Flaming God Generals entered the immortal canopy, launching wild bombardments on the true form of Wan Yao.
Without mana, the true form of Wan Yao only had a strong physical body left, but no matter how strong, it couldn’t shake the Ninth-grade Treasure, only passively enduring the attack.
As expected, three minutes later, the immortal canopy forcefully refined and killed the true form of Wan Yao.
Victory streak +32, Human points +32.
The treasure was collected, and Su Yu decisively exited the arena.
With mana down to just over 10,000, and the Cyan Cloud Cover also broken, encountering someone with slightly stronger defense might not be doable.
Coming out of the arena, Su Yu felt the eyes of many upon him, with everyone focused on him, expressions of smiles and goodwill on their faces.
Before starting, no one took notice, but after three crucial battles, no one is unaware.
Up next is rest and recovery.
Two hours later, with the Cyan Cloud Cover refined anew, Su Yu stepped onto the arena once more.
Victory streak +33, Human points +33.
Victory streak +34, Human points +34.
....
Victory streak +45, Human points +45.
.....
The sword duel rules do not permit challenging the same opponent multiple times, which means that after defeating the three Horned Demon People masters, the remaining ones were simply not his match.
Even having exhausted all big moves, in regular status no one could be his opponent.
Battle after battle, victory after victory.
Victory streak +60, Human points +60.
After defeating the final opponent, Su Yu walked out of the arena, and the first thing he did was not to check his surroundings but to look up to the sky.
