Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 189 A Strange Change in the Cave Heaven, Extraterrestrial Demons

Seven rogue immortals and six thousand guild elites stormed into the secret realm, and less than fifteen minutes later, someone came out to inform them:

"The enemy has retreated to the Five Elements Peak gate, and we have already surrounded the gate."

Su Yu was quite surprised and said:
"So fast?"

"Weren't they guarding the gate?"

"No, they have already evacuated everyone back to the mountain gate."

"Then we'll wait for the main force outside the mountain gate."

Su Yu turned around and ordered more battalions to enter the cave. It took two days to deploy thirty battalions, totaling nearly 100,000 people.

Then, Chu Xinyue was left to guard outside, while all the other guild leaders entered the cave.

It included his second brother and sister-in-law, as well as Xiao Qingchan, three rogue immortal masters, and he was in charge of this operation.

Before the massive mountain gate, the five giant peaks still stood, but were now surrounded by a thick layer of protective spiritual light, and a huge inverted bowl of light enveloped the entire Five Elements Gate.

The Five Elements True Man and the Five Spirits Elders were both present, along with more than twenty ordinary elders or disciples whose levels were over 100, and nearly 10,000 disciples whose levels were below 100.

For a sect, this was absolutely the lowest point they had ever faced. Without the sect's protective formation, they would never have been able to withstand the onslaught of the Thousand Star Palace.

Surrounded by the crowd, Su Yu arrived before the great formation. The Five Elements True Man also flew over from within the formation. The two faced each other through a barrier of light. The Five Elements True Man had a gentle face, an air of otherworldly grace, and appeared to be a righteous and powerful figure. He showed no anger or other emotion in the face of their attack, and his tone remained as gentle as ever:
"This Five Elements Revolving Array was built by our sect's founder. The five elements revolve continuously, endlessly, and are also supplied with the spiritual energy of the entire cave. Even if you come ten times more, you still cannot break it."

Their appearance, demeanor, and voice all made them seem like enlightened masters, making them appear like villains in comparison.

But whether it was a misperception or a sixth sense, Su Yu felt that something was not right.

Too fake.

Not only him, but also his second brother, second sister-in-law, Qingchan, and others who have extremely high innate six senses could sense that something was wrong.

At this moment, the Five Elements Taoist changed the subject and said:

"I understand that you are worried about our sect. In that case, why don't you leave? Our sect will then seal itself away in our grotto and never emerge again, so it will not affect you."

Su Yu smiled and said:

"Our sect leader is truly magnanimous, possessing the demeanor of a sect leader. If we could, we would not wish to resort to arms, but unfortunately, we want this grotto-heaven, and you certainly are unwilling to give it up."

At this moment, the Five Elements Master still didn't lose his temper, and patiently said:

"I understand your thoughts. I have a suggestion for you. I can accept you as a disciple on behalf of my master and make you my junior brother. Once you enter the sect, you will be a true disciple of our sect. After you have established your foundation, I will immediately step down and support you to take over as the leader of my Five Elements Sect."

"Once you take over the sect, all the disciples will be at your command, and this grotto-heaven will naturally belong to you as well. How does that sound?"

These words caused quite a stir, with many people showing surprise and some within the guild even considering taking action.

"President, if we could directly replace him, that would be far better."

"I disagree!"

The speakers were several elders from the Five Elements Sect. Elder Fire Spirit, with his fiery temper, shouted loudly on the spot:
"Our Five Elements Sect is a prestigious and righteous sect. How could we accept being handed over to evil people? Sect Leader, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Five Elements True Man reached out his hand, and Elder Fire Spirit's objections abruptly ceased.

Su Yu immediately looked over and saw the struggle, anger, and fear that remained on Elder Huo Ling's face, which then vanished instantly, leaving him with a calm expression.

He immediately turned his gaze to the other elders, whose expressions were all calm, as if their anger and rebuttal had never happened.

"There's definitely something wrong."

This scene made Su Yu even more determined.

The strange change in attitude, coupled with his unseen sixth sense, led him to conclude that there was definitely something wrong with this Five Elements True Man. Moreover, how could a normal sect leader be so weak, still trying to persuade others even when they were already at the sect's gate? This was very abnormal.

He reached out to stop the others from advising him and said loudly:

"No need to say more, I will not change my decision."

Seeing his resolute determination, the Five Elements Master lowered his eyes, a black glint rose, and his pupils quickly turned pitch black. The demeanor of the extraordinary and righteous master that had always been maintained finally changed. His robes billowed without wind, his white hair rose, and his whole body slowly floated up.

"Damn it!"

A voice, unlike its previous gentle tone, now extremely cold, rang in everyone's ears:

"Why didn't you cooperate with me obediently? You've chosen to court your own death!"

The Five Elements Master spread his arms and puffed out his chest. A tangible black aura exploded outward from him, causing tens of thousands of Five Elements Sect disciples around him to freeze abruptly. Their bodies were instantly pulverized and turned into streaks of blackish blood light that flew towards the Five Elements Master.

In the blink of an eye, all of the tens of thousands of Five Elements Sect disciples died, leaving only a dozen or so disciples and elders of level 100 or above struggling to hold on.

Elder Jin pressed his hand to his chest, blood seeping uncontrollably and staining his palm red. A look of realization and relief appeared on his blank face:
"The cycle of reincarnation has finally come to an end."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body shattered, transforming into a dense streak of blood-red light that flew towards the Five Elements True Man. It merged into his body along with other streaks of blood-red light, causing the Five Elements True Man's aura to rapidly expand and his level to skyrocket. In less than thirty seconds, everyone in the vast Five Elements Sect, from elders to disciples, was dead, their lifeblood completely absorbed into the Five Elements True Man.
No, it shouldn't be called the Five Elements True Man now, it should be called the Extraterrestrial Demon.

Five Elements True Man/Extraterrestrial Demon (Legend): Demon King, Level 199, Sect Leader of Five Elements Sect, Incarnation of Extraterrestrial Demon.

Attributes: 2400 million HP, 300 million MP, 30 Attack Power, 8000 km/h Speed.

"Sure enough."

Everyone gasped in unison, and Second Sister-in-law Meng Siyi said with a look of sudden realization:
"I was wondering how the Five Elements Sect could have lived peacefully in seclusion here for hundreds of thousands of years without being destroyed. I was wondering why something felt off. Turns out it was destroyed long ago."

"It was destroyed by an extraterrestrial demon."

"Judging from the level, it should be that the Five Elements Sect's former leader, the Five Elements True Man, failed when he was undergoing the tribulation of becoming an Earth Immortal and was possessed and controlled by an extraterrestrial demon. In order to stop the demon from harming more living beings, he sealed himself in a cave."

"These disciples were actually former disciples of the Five Elements Sect. The Heavenly Demon was bored after being trapped in the cave for hundreds of thousands of years, so he used the Heavenly Demon Great Art to reshape the devoured true spirits and rebuild the Five Elements Sect. But in reality, the Five Elements Sect has already been extinct."

Inside the Five Elements Sect's mountain gate, the extraterrestrial demon, having absorbed all the blood and souls, wore an expression of rage:
"Just a little bit."

After reclaiming all the demon seeds, his strength had reached the pinnacle below the Earth Immortal level, and he was just one step away from breaking through and advancing to the Earth Immortal realm.

But this step is an insurmountable barrier.

After the Five Elements True Man sealed his own cave, there were no living beings in the cave, and there was not enough blood and souls for the extraterrestrial demons to advance further.

His original plan was to continue impersonating the Five Elements Sect, then open the sect's gates to recruit disciples. Once the disciples grew up, he would devour them, thus having a continuous supply of blood and souls to absorb. In time, he would eventually be able to cross that threshold.

If the sect develops well, it may absorb millions or even tens of millions of blood offerings, and in the future, it may even become an unparalleled celestial demon comparable to an immortal.

But Su Yu and the others saw through his plan and gave him no chance at all.

Seeing that they had been exposed, the extraterrestrial demons had no choice but to reveal their true forms.

"You all deserve to die!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the Heavenly Demon soared into the sky, bursting out directly from the Five Elements Sect's protective formation. He pointed, and tens of thousands of black rays of light shot forth.
"Supreme Heart Demon Spell!"

The black light ignored the great formation and directly penetrated the defensive magic treasures, entering the bodies of nearby cultivators. A black skull phantom appeared on everyone's face, and their faces showed pain.

Su Huan immediately shouted:

"Those who are infected should remain where they are, and those who are not infected should immediately keep their distance from those who are infected and form a defensive formation to wait."

"Roar!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the clarity of sight vanished from the eyes of the tens of thousands of victims, who were directly controlled by the Supreme Heart Demon Curse and unleashed their magical treasures to rush towards them.

"You can't escape, you're all going to die here."

The extraterrestrial demon soared into the sky and hovered in the air, baring its fangs and claws, laughing wildly, with countless demonic lights flying everywhere, like missiles bombarding all directions.

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she said loudly:

"Everyone, get into position and kill the central curse. I'll hold him off."

"Those who die in battle will receive 100 gold coins as compensation afterward."

With a thought, he activated the Dragon Transformation Divine Power, and an indescribable, vast power surged from his body, causing him to let out a low roar.

The earth-shaking dragon roar interrupted the arrogance of the extraterrestrial demon. He turned around abruptly, a hint of surprise appearing in his dark pupils. Forgetting about chasing after the others, he quickly turned around and stood ready for battle.

The Crimson Dragon revealed itself, and its first attack was not directed at the extraterrestrial demons. Instead, it turned around and swept a breath of dragon fire across the area, instantly killing the tens of thousands of guild members who were under the control of the Supreme Heart Demon Curse.

The extraterrestrial demon was stunned, then roared in fury, reaching out to grab at those who were still alive. They exploded and died, just like the Five Elements Sect members earlier, their flesh and souls were extracted and turned into blood light that surged towards the demon.

Unfortunately, Su Yu acted early, instantly killing 90% of them with a single dragon breath. The remaining layer surged into his body. Although the level of the extraterrestrial demon remained unchanged, his maximum health and mana increased by tens of thousands of points.

The Crimson Dragon turned its head, and the Heavenly Demon's figure flickered and disappeared into a sky full of black light. The Crimson Dragon's head quickly turned to look in a certain direction a thousand miles away, and opened its mouth to unleash a purple lightning bolt several meters in diameter. The void exploded, and a black shadow soared into the sky.

Don't think I can't do anything to you.

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow rushed to tens of thousands of meters in the sky and condensed into a human shape. It waved its hands repeatedly, and the sky was filled with demonic light. The black demonic energy surged in all directions like a tide, and in the blink of an eye, it covered most of the cave.

"The Blood Sea Great Technique of the Twelve Heavenly Demonic Secrets!"

The sky turned from black to red, then to blood-red, instantly resembling a sea of ​​blood. Human figures rose from the surging sea of ​​blood, transforming into countless blood demon skulls and blood god children, falling like shooting stars.

The red dragon's mind raced, and it raised its head and roared:

“I froze him, and Qingchan sealed him with the Nine Heavens Capital Seal Talisman.”
