Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 196 True Fire Heart Lamp, Fallen Star Islands

What's it like to kill someone and run away?
"It's great!"

Su Yu rushed forward for tens of thousands of kilometers in one breath, then plunged into the sea and used a water escape technique, directly merging into the water and flashing thousands of miles away. When she came out again, she had already traveled tens of thousands of kilometers.

Only after confirming that no one was chasing him did he take off again, take out his Spirit Wing Flying Boat, sit on it, and examine several pieces of spoils of war.

A total of nine items dropped.

Normally, only three items will drop, but the Sword of Destiny will increase the target's death penalty by 200% when it is used to kill. This is not just an increase in lifespan penalty, but also an increase in all other death penalties by 200%.

Checking the loot, most of it is various materials, but there is one good item.

True Fire Heart Lamp (Seventh Tier): A rare treasure lamp containing Samadhi True Fire, possessing boundless power.

Attribute: Activates the Samadhi True Fire Lamp Flame, dealing 8000 + 80% spell damage as fire damage, with an area of ​​effect of 1-5 kilometers, a casting range of 20 kilometers, and a mana cost of 1000-10000 points per second.

Samadhi True Fire: Samadhi True Fire is the unity of essence, energy, and spirit, ignoring 100% fire resistance and capable of harming the soul.

"nice one."

Surprisingly, he even got a seventh-tier magic weapon as a drop, and it was a rare seventh-tier item. Su Yu immediately took off the Wind and Fire Vajra Wheel and equipped the Heart Lamp.

Although the Wind and Fire Vajra Wheel is powerful, its function is too limited, making it less useful in PvP and far less effective than the True Fire Heart Lamp.

As Su Yu closed the magic item menu, the joy on her face gradually disappeared. She looked up in a certain direction and remained silent for a long time.

"I never expected to encounter another player civilization here. Could it be that the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect's location has already been occupied by the Horned Demons?"

He pinched the bridge of his nose, looking somewhat worried.

If the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect has already been occupied by the Horned Demons, then that area is their territory, and it will be difficult to retrieve the other half of the Heavenly Book.

Regardless of whether it's occupied or not, I still have to go. I won't be convinced until I see it with my own eyes.

He rallied his spirits and continued flying in the intended direction.

The area where they first encountered that giant wooden ship was still deep sea, but the fact that they were able to encounter a warship meant that they were not far from land. If this were Blue Mountain Island, it would be in the sea area several million kilometers east of Ten Thousand Poisons Island.

After rushing along in a streak of light for about six days, having traversed millions of kilometers, Su Yu began to see streaks of light crossing the sky.

However, the distance was too far and the speed too fast, so he couldn't tell for a moment whether the escaping light was from a horned demon.

He wasn't in a hurry. He was clearly close to the coast and would soon know the specifics.

Another day and a half passed, and the rapidly moving light suddenly stopped. Su Yu stopped in the air and looked down. On the azure sea, two fleets were fighting.

On one side were the familiar Horned Demons, with three giant wooden ships and nine Angry Whale ships.

The other side consisted of the more familiar humans, with two giant wooden ships and seven angry whale ships.

The two fleets lined up in a row, seven or eight kilometers apart, with the lightning towers on the ships constantly gathering dense bolts of lightning to bombard the other side.

The air was filled with figures, exchanging fire wildly across the sea, seven or eight kilometers apart.

High in the sky, more than a dozen experts at the Loose Immortal level were fighting. The fiery clouds and demonic clouds on the dome intertwined, and two enormous Dharma bodies stood on the fiery clouds and thunderclouds. Below, there were explosions of lightning and flames everywhere, and several sharp sword lights crossed back and forth between the thunderclouds, flashing by in an instant.

Further away, figures continued to approach, representing reinforcements from both humans and horned demons.

As Su Yu approached the battlefield, she heard someone transmit a message to her:

"Brother, you've come at the right time. This group of Horned Demons is an elite fleet of the Horned Demon Eastern Alliance. Killing one person earns 1 merit point, killing a master earns a dozen merit points, and if you can destroy a Wrathful Whale Ship, you can get 1000 merit points."

"Uh"

Su Yu paused for a moment and looked around. Soon he saw someone from the human group below flying over and waving at him.

He thought for a moment and moved closer. The other person also moved closer and was stunned when he saw Su Yu up close. His face showed some disappointment.

Su Yu guessed that he thought she was a wandering immortal because he saw her escape light was so fast, but it turned out she wasn't.

However, the man reacted quickly; the disappointment on his face vanished instantly, and he said to him:

"You've come at the right time. Come quickly and join the rest of the group to avoid being surrounded by the horned demons."

Su Yu was looking for a local, so she nodded and followed him down, asking as she did so:
"Brother, I'm from out of town, and this is my first time here. I don't know much about this place. Could you show me around?"

The man paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise:
"You're not a native of the Falling Star Islands?"

“I came from Blue Mountains Island.”

The man's mouth gaped open even wider, his face filled with shock:

"You came all the way from Blue Mountains Island, more than 100 million kilometers away?"

"Yes."

"Great!"

He suddenly became interested and said:
"Of course, no problem. My name is Lin Tao, and I'm from the Tianyun Gang. You can ask me anything you want."

Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony and immediately asked:
"How large is the Fallen Star Islands? How many races are there? Besides us and the Horned Demons, are there other player civilizations? Where are they located? Do you have a map of the Fallen Star Islands?"

Lin Tao thought for a moment and replied:

"The Falling Star Islands are extremely large. I can't say exactly how big they are, but they are no less than our mainland China. I estimate they are hundreds or even thousands of times larger than other large islands."

"hiss!"

Su Yu swallowed hard, somewhat shocked by the sheer size of the island.

"This island has four parts: East Island, South Island, West Island, and North Island. Our human race occupies South Island, including the South Sea, and is currently at war with the Horned Demons who occupy East Island and the East Sea in order to seize the Southeast Sea." "In addition to the human race and the Horned Demons, the Fire Race also occupies West Island and the West Sea."

"The Six-Eared Clan occupies the North Island and also includes the entire North Sea, making them the strongest of the four clans."

"Hmm, have you ever heard of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect?"

"I know, this sect is located on the East Island and has been occupied by the Horned Demons."

"."

"Do you need to see the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect for something?"

Su Yu honestly said:

"Half of the cultivation technique I mainly practice is in the hands of the Tianyan Immortal Sect. I traveled hundreds of millions of miles to see if there was any way to get my hands on it."

"Then you have no chance."

Lin Tao shook his head and said:
“Our four clans have known about this island for tens of thousands of years. After so many years of development and erosion, the entire Tianyan Immortal Sect is now inhabited by Horned Demons. It is almost impossible for you to seize that half of the secret manual.”

".really."

However, even though that's what he said, he still had to go and see for himself to get a more detailed understanding.

Lin Tao said there was no chance, but that was only from his perspective. The perspective of an ordinary cultivator is definitely different from that of a rogue immortal. If you add the perspective of a true dragon comparable to an earth immortal, it will be different again.

Of course, that's for later; right now, we have to fight.

Although it was his first time here, he knew that he would have to fight if he encountered an alien race.

He flew down above the fleet, joined the crowd above, and unleashed his Azure and Purple Thunder Twin Swords to fight his way out.

The two races fight in a standard head-on confrontation. The lowest-ranking warships are filled with ordinary players of the lowest strength. They don't need to fight; they only need to act as human batteries to provide mana support for the warships.

The area above the fleet was filled with experts who possessed considerable strength but were not yet considered rogue immortals; each of them had certain skills.

At the very top is the top-level power, all of whom are at the level of Loose Immortals.

Su Yu possessed the strength to kill ordinary Loose Immortals. Mingling in the middle level was like a tiger among sheep. He silently charged in with his twin swords, randomly found a horned demon who was activating a magic weapon, and with a quick twist of his twin swords, the mere sixth-order protective magic weapon was instantly extinguished. Then, with a flash of sword light, a head flew off.

Then, with a quick movement of his two swords, he lunged at another person nearby, and with another swift and decisive strike, easily dispatched another opponent.

After killing four or five people, he finally attracted the attention of a master, and two sword lights came rushing towards him.

He naturally wasn't afraid and immediately went to meet it; a series of crisp clanging sounds quickly suppressed him.

This opponent also wielded two seventh-tier flying swords, which couldn't be cut off in a short time, but his swordsmanship was far inferior to his. He was on the offensive in less than three seconds and had no chance to fight back after a dozen seconds.

In less than twenty seconds, Su Yu seized an opportunity to deflect one of the swords, then swung the two swords together and violently broke one of the seventh-tier flying swords in two.

The other seventh-tier flying sword immediately retracted and disappeared.

Su Yu showed no interest in searching and continued to slaughter the other horned demons.

His killing efficiency was very fast, but there were too many people on the battlefield, with two or three thousand on each side. He killed and chopped down hundreds of people along the way, but it was only a drop in the ocean and did not affect the overall situation.

Furthermore, both sides' main warships are equipped with resurrection arrays, allowing fallen soldiers to be resurrected directly from the ship and rejoin the battle.

Su Yu, having killed nearly three hundred people in the crowd, suddenly received a telepathic message from Lin Tao:

"Brother, you're amazing! No wonder you dared to cross the ocean alone. You've accumulated 320 merit points in just a short time."

He asked in surprise:
What is merit?

"You can think of it as guild contribution, which is the military's contribution point, but it's called merit."

What is the military headquarters?

"You don't even know about the military?"

"That's right, Blue Mountain Island doesn't seem to have any other player civilizations, and it certainly doesn't have a military headquarters."

Lin Tao patiently explained to him:
"The Falling Star Islands are extremely large, no less so than our own home island, and are a battleground for all races. Therefore, the Supreme Council of the human homeland has set up a military headquarters here to coordinate the operations of all forces and to coordinate and command large-scale wars."

"These merits are contributions. Killing an alien race member earns 1 merit point, killing an expert earns around 10 points, and killing an alien race rogue immortal expert earns at least 100 contribution points, and sometimes hundreds or thousands."

"Destroying a Wraith Ship will reward you with 1000 merit points. Destroying a Giant Wooden Divine Ship will reward you with 10000 merit points and a small merit. If you can make a greater contribution, you can also get a great merit, or even an extremely rare Heavenly Merit."

"Hmm, what is the value of this merit?"

"One merit point is worth about 1 gold. Small merit points and large merit points are priceless. High-level magic weapons of the seventh rank or above, or rare treasures of the same rank, require small merit points and large merit points to exchange for."

Su Yu asked curiously:

"Can you exchange anything? Are there any tenth-tier magic treasures you can get?"

"Yes, it requires a Heavenly Skill."

"Really?"

"Of course, the military is directly under the Supreme Council of Civilization. Not to mention tenth-order treasures, they can even exchange for supreme Dao techniques."

"By the way, didn't you want to get half of the Heavenly Book? If you have the Heavenly Skill, you can directly hire military experts to help you take it back."

Su Yu was surprised:
"How do we seize it? Shouldn't the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect have Heavenly Immortal experts?"
