Chapter 171: Cleared Straight Through?
A few minutes later, the 259th wave of monsters refreshed.
Su Yu did not hesitate at all, decisively triggering the third phase of the previous Bloodthirsty Beast King.
"I wonder what level shadow fang can be raised to by killing a Bloodthirsty Beast King," Su Yu thought to himself.
According to shadow fang's first trait, as long as Su Yukilled epic grade bosses of level 1 or higher right now, he could gain growth value.
After the growth value met the conditions, it could increase shadow fang's level and grade.
The Bloodthirsty Beast King was not only a level 60 epic grade BOSS, but also a super enhanced version of a level 60 epic grade BOSS.
Killing it would surely yield a considerable amount of growth value.
Su Yu couldn't wait to see the changes in shadow fang.
Soon, the invincible state of the previous Bloodthirsty Beast King ended.
Su Yu drew the longbow in his hand into a full moon, and a Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a thousand times the mana value instantly pierced through the air.
Bang, bang, bang!
Counting the additional damage from the Wings of the Thunder Emperor, this strike directly caused the Bloodthirsty Beast King to lose close to 2% of its maximum HP in damage.
It could be said that compared to when he had just entered the Blood God Treasure, Su Yu's strength had undergone earth-shattering changes.
In less than two seconds, the Bloodthirsty Beast Kingturned into a half-person-tall super blood crystal.
Su Yu checked the changes in shadow fang at the first opportunity.
[shadow fang (Epic Grade)]
[Level: 10 (15.12%)]
[Attributes: Critical Hit Rate + 120%, Critical Hit Damage + 120%, Final Attack + 30%, Final Damage Amplification + 30%.]
[Traits...]
[Equipment Requirements: Shadow God Archer, Soul-bound to Yu Huang.]
"It seems the boost is quite substantial," Su Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Compared to when it was level 1, the critical hit rate and critical hit damage each increased by 90%, and the final attack and final damage amplification each increased by 10%.
This directly increased Su Yu's normal output capability by another 20 to 30 percent.
Moreover, shadow fang still had huge room for improvement. One could only say that as expected of the exclusive weapon of the Shadow God Archer, its attributes were simply powerful!
Su Yu focused his consciousness on the percentage behind shadow fang's level. Before obtaining growth value, this percentage did not exist.
Soon, a piece of detailed information appeared before his eyes.
After a moment, Su Yu finally understood shadow fang's upgrade mechanism.
Before shadow fang rose to level 100, the growth value could only be used to increase its level.
After entering the Blood God Treasure, Su Yu had killed a large number of monsters and bosses, and now his level had reached level 60.
Therefore, shadow fang's current level cap was also level 60.
This meant that once shadow fang's level was raised to level 60 and its growth value reached 100%, it could no longer continue to level up.
Only after Su Yu's level increased could shadow fang's level continue to rise.
When shadow fang's level was raised to level 101, its equipment grade would also automatically rise to Legendary-Grade.
However, the growth value required to upgrade from level 100 to level 101 was also astronomical, far exceeding before.
"I estimate that this time I can raise shadow fang to level 60 in one go and max out the growth value progress," Su Yu thought to himself.
In Su Yu's view, with his current strength, holding on for another few dozen waves would be completely effortless.
Dozens of super enhanced level 60 epic grade bosses should be enough to raise shadow fang to level 60 and max out its growth value progress.
Time ticked away, and in the blink of an eye, the monsters had refreshed to the 300th wave.
"I didn't expect there to actually be a feeling of the further it goes, the easier it gets," the corners of Su Yu's mouth curled into a smile.
The Bloodthirsty Beast King of the 300th wave already had an HP of 1.19 trillion, and its attack power had also greatly increased.
Under normal conditions, the Bloodthirsty Beast King of the 300th wave could deal over 2 million true damage and over 200 million normal damage to Su Yu.
Its attack power was about four times that of the very first Bloodthirsty Beast King.
However, to Su Yu, the Bloodthirsty Beast King of the 300th wave was actually a bit easier to deal with.
Because he was already much stronger than before, shadow fang at level 60 directly gave his output capability an epic grade boost.
[shadow fang (Epic Grade)]
[Level: Level 60 (100%)]
[Attributes: Critical Hit Rate + 620%, Critical Hit Damage + 620%, Final Attack + 80%, Final Damage Amplification + 80%.]
[Traits...]
[Equipment Requirements: Shadow God Archer, Soul-bound to Yu Huang.]
After shadow fang rose to level 60, all four major attributes skyrocketed.
Now, with a single Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a thousand times the mana value, Su Yu could directly deal around 5.38 billion damage.
Converted into damage per second, it was as high as 35.9 billion!
The Bloodthirsty Beast King with 1.19 trillion HP couldn't even last a minute in Su Yu's hands.
Su Yu felt that with his current strength, it would be no problem at all to hold on for another hundred stages.
Previously, he was still a bit worried that he wouldn't be able to get 100,000 Blood God Treasure points, but now, he had long since obtained over 100,000 Blood God Treasure points.
The highest-tier extra reward was already well within his grasp.
A few minutes later, the monsters of the 301st wave refreshed.
A behemoth over a hundred meters tall appeared in Su Yu's line of sight.
[Lv60 Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor (Legendary-GradeBOSS)]
[HP: 5 trillion / 5 trillion]
Immediately afterward, a system notification sound rang in Su Yu's ears.
[The final wave of monsters has refreshed. Please go all out and unleash your ultimate combat power!]
"Is this going to clear straight through?" A sharp gleam flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
He didn't expect the 301st wave to be the limit of the Blood God Treasure.
The Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor had a full 5 trillion HP. Although it seemed like a lot, in reality, it probably wouldn't last a few minutes in Su Yu's hands.
Swish!
Su Yu drew the longbow in his hand into a full moon, and a Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a thousand times the mana value instantly pierced through the air.
Bang, bang, bang!
The third phase of the Bloodthirsty Beast King was directly triggered.
"Since it's the final wave, let's spare the Bloodthirsty Beast King's life for now and use it as a blood bag later!"
Su Yu thought it through very clearly. With his current HP, facing either the third-phase Bloodthirsty Beast King or the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor alone would be very dangerous.
Only when both existed at the same time could he frantically lifesteal and handle things with ease.
Just like now, after triggering the third phase of the Bloodthirsty Beast King, he could lifesteal from the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor.
Later on, it would be the other way around.
Swish, swish, swish!
Arrows flew continuously from Su Yu's hands, surging toward the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor like a storm.
He couldn't wait to get the ultimate reward of the Blood God Treasure, as well as the highest-tier extra reward.
Chapter 172: Three Rewards!
About one minute later.
Roar!
The Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor let out an angry roar, its aura soaring dramatically as thousands of blood-drop-shaped lights swirled around its body.
"It has entered the second phase." A smile crept onto the corner of Su Yu's mouth.
In just about a minute, he had wiped out 2.5 trillion HP of the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor.
If such a terrifying DPS were to spread out, it would probably scare a group of people to death.
Phantom Combo!
With a thought from Su Yu, golden arrows pierced through the void and shot forth.
Bang, bang, bang!
The blood-drop-shaped lights swirling around the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor instantly decreased by 2,220.
Swish, swish, swish!
Su Yu's arrows did not stop as he alternately used Soul-Severing Arrow and basic attacks, causing the blood-drop-shaped lights swirling around the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor to become fewer and fewer.
During this process, Su Yu would occasionally attack the Bloodthirsty Beast King to life-steal.
Now that the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor was in an invincible state, Su Yu could not life-steal from it.
At this time, the Bloodthirsty Beast King came in handy; it was Su Yu's blood pack.
A few seconds later, all the blood-drop-shaped lights swirling around the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperorcompletely disappeared.
Its HP was once again decreasing at a steady rate.
"If it weren't for the Bloodthirsty Beast King acting as a blood pack, I probably would have had to use my life-saving trump card just now," Su Yu shook his head helplessly.
Even with the life-steal from his class talent, survivability was still his greatest shortcoming.
Although a maximum HP close to thirty million looked like a lot, compared to his output ability, thirty million was simply not worth mentioning.
He had to think of a way to increase his maximum HP.
Besides that, he also had to master a method that could directly and continuously restore HP.
That way, even if he encountered monsters with an invincible state, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to recover health.
Su Yu pondered while attacking.
With the methods he currently mastered, wanting to increase his maximum HP could only rely on the Life-Devouring Body and Spirit-Devouring Body.
The Life-Devouring Body could increase maximum HP, while the Spirit-Devouring Body could increase maximum Mana.
However, he possessed the Blood Gods Body, so to him, maximum HP and maximum Mana were no different.
Besides that, he had no other means to increase his maximum HP.
"I wonder what channels there are to quickly acquire a large number of free attribute points," Su Yu was lost in thought.
Now his life level was 6.1, and after returning to the Blood Trial, he could also exchange for a Life Fruit.
By then his life level could be raised to 7.1, which meant his total attribute upper limit could reach 710,000.
Right now, his total attributes still had a relatively large distance from this upper limit.
As long as he could obtain a large number of free attribute points, whether it was his maximum HP or attack power, they would receive a tremendous boost.
"But this isn't urgent; I can ask the City Lord of Tianyuanwhen I go back," Su Yu thought to himself.
Su Yu remembered that the village chief of Novice Village No. 9528 had previously said that the strength of the City Lord of Tianyuan could rank in the top five across the entire Holy Dragon Empire.
If even the City Lord of Tianyuan didn't know, then he would be out of options and could only wait for an opportunity to leave the Initial Continent before thinking of a way.
Including the advanced assessment of the Endless Seamentioned in the Blood God Trial III quest.
He could only pin his hopes on the City Lord of Tianyuanunderstanding the relevant information, otherwise he would just have to slowly figure it out later.
Soon, under Su Yu's continuous attacks, only the last 20% of the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor's HP remained.
A giant blood-colored shield enveloped it within.
Seeing this, Su Yu decisively stopped the attacks in his hand, then activated the void state of the void necklace, instantly greatly increasing his movement speed.
Swish, swish, swish!
Like a bolt of lightning, Su Yu constantly adjusted his position in the void, dodging attacks from the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor and the Bloodthirsty Beast King.
Occasionally, he would also use Soul-Severing Arrows that consumed normal mana to attack, maintaining the silence status on the two BOSSes, and incidentally life-stealing some health from the Bloodthirsty Beast King.
Thirty seconds later.
The blood-colored shield on the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor suddenly dissipated.
At this moment, the Bloodthirsty Beast King finally completed its great mission and could log off.
Su Yu went all out with full firepower, killing the low-HP Bloodthirsty Beast King in less than three seconds.
Swish, swish, swish!
After killing the Bloodthirsty Beast King, Su Yuimmediately turned his target to the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor, arrows streaking toward the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor like a violent storm.
Dozens of seconds later.
The HP of the Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor was finally completely emptied.
Rumble!
The Bloodthirsty Beast Emperor's massive body, resembling a small hill, collapsed with a crash, smashing a giant pit into the ground.
[Congratulations on perfectly clearing the Blood God Treasure. You will be teleported to the reward settlement space in 10 seconds, please wait patiently.]
"Finally cleared it," Su Yu let out a long sigh of relief.
In the past few dozens of waves, he basically hadn't rested and had been fighting continuously.
After such a long battle, although his physical strength could still hold up, his mind had already started to feel somewhat fatigued.
If another one or two hundred waves came, he estimated that he could only rely on sheer willpower to push through.
Fortunately, the 301st wave had ended now, and his overall state was still pretty good.
"What a pity, the things in the Blood Trial hidden store are too few; now my Blood Trial points are overflowing," Su Yushook his head helplessly.
Entering the Blood God Treasure this time, the Blood Trialpoints he harvested were simply too many.
Especially starting from the 201st wave, the Blood God Treasure refreshed entirely with BOSSes, and the further back it went, the higher the grade of the BOSSes.
Su Yu simply calculated that, counting the point coefficient bonus, the blood crystals he harvested from entering the Blood God Treasure this time were worth up to over 2.47 billion Blood Trial points.
Just a fraction of it could wipe clean everything in the Blood Trial hidden store.
Soon, the ten-second countdown ended.
A stream of blood light descended from the sky, and Su Yu's figure instantly disappeared on the spot.
...
Hum!
"Is this the reward settlement space?" Su Yu swept his gaze across.
Just now he only felt the surrounding space shift, and the next instant he was already placed within this mysterious space.
This was a boundless, snow-white space.
Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in Su Yu's ear.
[Based on the quantity of Blood God Treasure points you possess, you can freely choose three rewards from the following (including extra rewards):]
[1. god-grade talent flower * 5.]
[2. top-tier soul liquid * 13.]
[3. Primary Heavenly Dao Spirit * 1.]
[4. Heavenly Soul Fruit * 1.]
[5. Lightning True Intent Inheritance * 1.]
[6. Water True Intent Inheritance * 1.]
[7. Fire True Intent Inheritance * 1.]
[8. Blood True Intent Inheritance * 1.]
[9. celestial crafting stone * 8.]
"Which three rewards should I choose?" Su Yu looked at the nine different rewards and fell into deep contemplation.
Chapter 173: Choosing Rewards!
Among these nine rewards, Su Yu only knew about the god-grade talent flower, the top-tier soul liquid, and the celestial crafting stone.
He was hearing about the other six rewards for the first time.
However, since these nine rewards could be placed together, their actual values should presumably be about the same.
Judging by the exchange requirements in the Blood Trialhidden shop.
A single god-grade talent flower was worth 80 million Blood Trial points, meaning the value of Reward One was 400 million Blood Trial points.
A bottle of top-tier soul liquid was worth 30 million Blood Trial points, so the value of Reward Two was 390 million Blood Trial points.
Assuming all rewards were worth 400 million Blood Trialpoints.
If Reward Nine was eight celestial crafting stones, then the value of a single celestial crafting stone would be 50 million Blood Trial points.
Rewards Three through Eight each only had a single item, which meant that the value of each item was 400 million Blood Trial points.
Judging by the value of a single item, Rewards Three through Eight were definitely the highest.
"If I have to choose, I'll definitely choose the one with the highest single-item value." A sharp glint flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
Although the total value was the same, the higher the value of a single item, the rarer it naturally was.
At least Su Yu currently had other channels to obtain the god-grade talent flower and top-tier soul liquid.
The god-grade talent flower could be exchanged with reputation, and the top-tier soul liquid could be replaced with lower-tier soul liquid; either way, they both increased lifespan.
As for the celestial crafting stone, although Su Yutemporarily lacked channels to obtain it, he didn't need that many celestial crafting stones at the moment either.
He even had an unused celestial crafting stone sitting in his inventory.
For Su Yu, once he completed the second stage of the Shadow God Archer advancement quest, he would be able to acquire the Shadow God Archer's exclusive defensive armor set.
There was completely no need to exchange for so many celestial crafting stones.
Therefore, he just needed to choose three rewards from Rewards Three through Eight.
"The junior Heavenly Dao Spirit of Reward Three should be a good thing," Su Yu thought to himself.
In Su Yu's view, just the two words 'Heavenly Dao' were worth using up a single chance.
"The effect of the Heavenly Soul Fruit is probably similar to the Soul Origin Fruit, enhancing soul power. Should I exchange for it?" Su Yu muttered thoughtfully.
The main thing was that he didn't know what use soul power had right now.
If he exchanged for the Heavenly Soul Fruit, only to find out that soul power didn't have much use, he would suffer a huge loss.
Of course, there was also the possibility that the Heavenly Soul Fruit wasn't used to enhance soul power at all.
However, right now he could only guess based on the literal meaning, still suffering from his lack of knowledge and experience.
"Between Rewards Five and Eight, if I can only choose one, I will definitely choose the Blood Intent Inheritance." Su Yumuttered under his breath.
In his view, the Blood Intent Inheritance was definitely something related to the Blood God.
Now that he already possessed the Blood Gods Eye and the Blood Gods Body, there would also be subsequent quest rewards from the Blood God Trial in the future.
The Blood Intent Inheritance was definitely the most suitable reward for him among these three intent inheritances.
However, aside from the Blood Intent Inheritance, he also really wanted to choose another Lightning Intent Inheritance.
Perhaps the Lightning Intent Inheritance could make his Wings of the Thunder Emperor even more powerful.
However, if he chose the Lightning Intent Inheritance, he would have to give up the Heavenly Soul Fruit.
After a long time, Su Yu finally made a decision.
"I choose Reward Three, Reward Five, and Reward Eight," Su Yu said in a deep voice.
This was the result after careful consideration on his part.
After all, wanting to enhance soul power didn't strictly require the Heavenly Soul Fruit.
Rare treasures like the Soul Origin Fruit might achieve the effect of the Heavenly Soul Fruit if the quantity was a bit higher.
As for the intent inheritance, Su Yu didn't know when in the future he would encounter such an opportunity again.
At least enhancing soul power might be slightly easier than acquiring an intent inheritance.
A moment later, three consecutive system prompt sounds rang in Su Yu's ears.
[Congratulations on obtaining Junior Heavenly Dao Spirit * 1.]
[Congratulations on obtaining Lightning Intent Inheritance * 1.]
[Congratulations on obtaining Blood Intent Inheritance * 1.]
Immediately afterward, an incomparably ethereal voice suddenly appeared in Su Yu's mind.
"Master, I am your Heavenly Dao Spirit 'Unnamed'. Life-binding has now been completed. Please name me."
"Name you?" Su Yu's brain began to spin rapidly.
He had always been terrible at naming things, so a task like this was indeed a bit difficult for him.
After a moment, Su Yu said in a deep voice, "Let's just call you Xiaoyu."
Yu and fish had similar pronunciations; this could also be considered a little clever touch of his.
"Understood, Master. Xiaoyu is very happy to serve you. You can communicate with me directly through consciousness for any needs you have."
"Xiaoyu, what is your specific purpose?" Su Yu said in a deep voice.
"Master, my greatest purpose is that I can directly communicate with the Heavenly Dao Rules of the game "Immortality", which is what you all call the system."
"You can spend a certain amount of coins or special resources to obtain game database information, exchange resources, accept Heavenly Dao quests, and so on from the Heavenly Dao Rules through me."
"Game database information?" Su Yu couldn't help but let his eyes light up.
He happened to want to know how to quickly acquire a large amount of free attribute points, as well as understand what the Endless Sea advanced examination actually was.
Couldn't he just ask Xiaoyu directly now?
"Xiaoyu, do you know what the Endless Sea advanced examination is?"
Xiaoyu immediately replied, "Please wait a moment, Master. I need to query this information."
A moment later, Xiaoyu's voice sounded in Su Yu's mind.
"Master, the information related to the Endless Seaadvanced examination belongs to the junior paid database and requires 100,000 coins to unlock."
"Does that mean after unlocking the junior paid database, all the content inside can be queried at any time?" Su Yuasked.
"Yes, Master. After unlocking the junior paid database, I will have permanent query access."
"Alright, then unlock it." Su Yu nodded and said.
He had killed a large number of BOSSes in the Blood God Treasure, and the number of coins on his person had already reached over two million. He could certainly afford a mere 100,000 coins.
Moreover, these 100,000 coins unlocked the entire junior paid database, not just information related to the Endless Sea advanced examination.
Before long, Xiaoyu's voice sounded in Su Yu's mind once more.
"The Endless Sea is a Mysterious Land among the myriad realms, and only third-turn professionals can enter it."
"There are three layers of examinations in the Endless Sea."
"The first layer: stay in the Endless Sea for a full month to complete the junior examination."
"The second layer: stay in the Endless Sea for a full month and kill a Legendary-Grade sea demon in the inner region of the Endless Sea to complete the intermediate examination."
"The third layer: stay in the Endless Sea for a full month and kill ten Legendary-Grade sea demons in the core region of the Endless Sea to complete the advanced examination."
Chapter 174: Abyss Demons!
"If you want to enter the Endless Sea, you first need to obtain an Endless Sea Token."
"Every year, the Endless Sea randomly drops a large number of Endless Sea Tokens across the myriad realms, and those destined will acquire them."
"However, for Master, getting an Endless Sea Token doesn't need to be so troublesome. You can directly exchange for one in the Heavenly Dao Store using gold coins."
"I checked, and a single Endless Sea Token only costs one million gold coins. Master can totally afford it."
"Furthermore, once Master passes the advanced assessment of the Endless Sea, the rewards from the Endless Sea alone will allow you to reap a bountiful harvest."
Hearing this, Su Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up.
It seemed that choosing the Primary Heavenly Dao Spirit among the nine rewards of the Blood God Treasure was definitely a very correct choice.
Having just obtained it, it directly solved one of his major problems.
According to Xiaoyu's description just now, there should be a large number of Legendary-Grade BOSSes in the Endless Sea.
Perhaps after he enters the Endless Sea, not only can he complete the Blood God Trial III quest, but he can also finish the second stage of the Shadow God Archeradvancement quest along the way.
This was simply killing two birds with one stone.
"As soon as I advance to a Tier 3 professional, I will immediately exchange for an Endless Sea Token and enter the Endless Sea." Su Yu's heart was filled with anticipation.
Whether it was the Blood God Trial III quest or the second stage of the Shadow God Archer advancement quest, both were immensely important tasks to him.
The earlier they could be completed, the better.
"Xiaoyu, do you know how to quickly acquire a large number of free attribute points?" Su Yu asked.
Xiaoyu immediately said, "Master, if you want to quickly acquire a large number of free attribute points, there are mainly two ways."
"First, pay to win; I can directly exchange free attribute points for you in the Heavenly Dao Store. 500 gold coins can be exchanged for 1 free attribute point."
"Second, complete Heavenly Dao quests. Depending on the quest difficulty, the number of free attribute points obtained will also vary."
"Actually, in the game Immortality, acquiring free attribute points is not considered difficult. The real difficulty is raising one's life level."
"If the life level is too low, no matter how many free attribute points are acquired, it is meaningless."
Su Yu nodded thoughtfully.
Since free attribute points could be directly exchanged using gold coins, it seemed that acquiring them indeed wasn't too difficult.
Of course, this wasn't too difficult just for him; for ordinary people, obtaining a Heavenly Dao Spirit probably wouldn't be easy.
500 gold coins could exchange for 1 free attribute point.
Su Yu glanced at the more than two million gold coins in his backpack. If he went all-in, he could exchange them for over forty thousand free attribute points.
For him, that could also be considered quite a significant boost.
However, he still had to reserve one million gold coins to exchange for an Endless Sea Token, so he could at most pull out a little over one million gold coins to exchange for free attribute points.
"It seems I still have to find a way to get more gold coins. For me, gold coins are equivalent to combat power."
"The more gold coins, the stronger the combat power!" A sharp glint flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
His current all-attribute upper limit was 710,000. Without considering intelligence attributes, wanting to max out the other four attributes would require at least over a billion gold coins.
This was an astronomical figure.
Suddenly, Su Yu recalled the grand promises painted for him by the City Lord of Tianyuan.
As long as he could perform exceptionally well in the Main City Competition, the City Lord of Tianyuan would arrange the position of Deputy City Lord of Tianyuan for him.
After becoming the Deputy City Lord of Tianyuan, he could enjoy dividends from Tianyuan City.
Even according to the City Lord of Tianyuan, if Tianyuan City were to become the number one main city of the Holy Dragon Empire in the future, the dividends given to him alone in a single day would probably be several million to tens of millions of gold coins.
Tianyuan City's revenue mainly came from taxes, real estate transactions, and the living fees that players needed to pay every day.
In other words, the more prosperous Tianyuan City was and the more players there were, the greater the daily revenue would be.
If Su Yu could become the Deputy City Lord of Tianyuan, his daily dividends would naturally be even more.
"It seems that in order to grow stronger, becoming the Deputy City Lord of Tianyuan is still quite necessary," Su Yu thought to himself.
As long as he had enough gold coins, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of free attribute points.
In the future, he just needed to find a way to raise his life level.
"Xiaoyu, can I accept that Heavenly Dao quest you mentioned just now?" Su Yu asked curiously.
A moment later, Xiaoyu's voice rang out in Su Yu's mind.
"Master, you can currently only accept permanent Heavenly Dao quests."
"After you acquire enough Heavenly Dao Points through Heavenly Dao quests, you can use Heavenly Dao Points to upgrade Xiaoyu."
"After Xiaoyu upgrades to intermediate, you can spend the corresponding Heavenly Dao Points to accept Heavenly Dao quests of different difficulties."
"Heavenly Dao quests will automatically generate quest requirements based on your current situation and quest difficulty."
Su Yu nodded. "What are the current permanent Heavenly Dao quests?"
Xiaoyu: "Currently, there is only one permanent Heavenly Dao quest to kill Abyss Demons. Do you need me to help you accept it?"
"Kill Abyss Demons?" Su Yu was thoughtful.
The first time he heard the word abyss was when he was clearing dungeons of hell difficulty.
The monsters in hell difficulty dungeons all had a status called Abyss Enhancement on them.
Could Abyss Demons be related to hell difficultydungeons?
"Xiaoyu, what are Abyss Demons? What happens if the permanent Heavenly Dao quest cannot be completed?" Su Yu asked curiously.
Xiaoyu immediately said, "Abyss Demons are the enemies of all myriad realms; they are invaders from the abyss."
"Once their invasion is successful, all the myriad realms and the countless living beings within them will be swallowed by the abyss, turning into nourishment for the abyss's growth."
"Permanent Heavenly Dao quests have no time limit, nor do they have the concept of being completed."
"Take this current permanent Heavenly Dao quest to kill Abyss Demons for example. After you accept it, every time you kill an Abyss Demon, you can obtain corresponding rewards."
Su Yu: "How is the strength of Abyss Demons?"
Xiaoyu: "The strength of Abyss Demons is extremely formidable. Even the weakest Abyss Demon has a life level of Level 10, equivalent to a professional with over 1 million in all attributes."
Su Yu: "What is the difference between Abyss Demonsand ordinary monsters?"
Xiaoyu: "Abyss Demons are actually the same as professionals; they also have talents, skills, equipment, and so on."
"Anyway, you cannot treat Abyss Demons as ordinary monsters. They are also intelligent living beings, and their potential is even higher than the top races in the myriad realms."
Hearing this, a look of solemnity flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
It seemed that Abyss Demons were formidable enemies!
Furthermore, they were the kind of formidable enemies that would never stop until one side died!
"Xiaoyu, directly help me accept the permanent Heavenly Dao quest," Su Yu said in a deep voice.
Although Su Yu didn't know when he would encounter Abyss Demons, accepting the permanent Heavenly Dao quest didn't have any downsides anyway, so he might as well claim it first.
"Alrighty," Xiaoyu said.
The next instant, a system prompt sounded in Su Yu's ear.
[You have accepted the permanent Heavenly Dao quest: Kill Abyss Demons!]
Chapter 175: Heavenly Dao Shop!
"Right, Xiaoyu, what were you saying about Heavenly Dao Points just now?" Su Yu asked curiously.
Xiaoyu immediately replied, "Heavenly Dao Points can only be obtained by completing Heavenly Dao quests."
"Heavenly Dao Points can be used to upgrade my tier, and they can also be used to redeem certain special resources in the Heavenly Dao Shop."
"However, my tier is currently only at the primary level, and the Heavenly Dao Shop I have unlocked does not have any special resources that need to be redeemed with Heavenly Dao Points."
Su Yu: "Are there any God-tier Skills in the Heavenly Dao Shop that I can use? Or things like god-grade talent flowers, god-level class-exclusive skill books, and the like."
Xiaoyu: "Master, Xiaoyu's tier is too low, so I haven't unlocked such high-tier resources yet."
Su Yu: "Then do you know how to upgrade the Super-God Level Talent?"
For reading Taiwan novels, the first choice is Taiwan Novel Network, t w k a n. c o m, read anytime.
Xiaoyu: "Master, there is no relevant information in the primary game database, and Xiaoyu's tier is too low to purchase higher-tier game database information."
Su Yu: "..."
Xiaoyu: "Master, Xiaoyu believes that you will definitely be able to obtain enough Heavenly Dao Points. Once Xiaoyu advances in tier, I will be able to better help Master."
Su Yu shook his head helplessly.
To obtain Heavenly Dao Points, one can only complete Heavenly Dao quests.
Currently, he only has one standing Heavenly Dao quest to kill Abyss Demons.
Putting aside whether he can currently kill Abyss Demons, just encountering Abyss Demons is not an easy task.
"Xiaoyu, let me change to a simpler question. Now I plan to take out 1 million gold coins, what is the most cost-effective thing to buy in the Heavenly Dao Shop?" Su Yusmiled and said.
"Master, please wait a moment. Xiaoyu is working hard to analyze."
After a while, Xiaoyu's voice sounded in Su Yu's mind.
"Based on Master's current situation, Xiaoyu suggests that you purchase four Legendary-Grade passive skill books, which are Source of Strength, Source of Agility, Source of Physique, and Source of Spirit respectively."
"These four Legendary-Grade passive skill books cost a total of 720,000 gold coins."
"As for the remaining 280,000 gold coins, you can add another 20,000 to make it 300,000, which can be used to purchase the Legendary-Grade movement skill, Thunder Flash."
Su Yu: "Why don't you suggest me to buy lower-tier skill books? My talent is equally effective on lower-tier skills."
Xiaoyu: "There are no lower-tier resources in the Heavenly Dao Shop..."
"Primary authority unlocks Legendary-Grade resources, intermediate authority unlocks epic-tier resources, advanced authority unlocks Legendary-Grade resources, and special authority unlocks god-tier resources."
"Products from the Heavenly Dao Shop must be top quality!"
Su Yu nodded, reluctantly accepting Xiaoyu's reason: "Fine, then redeem Thunder Flash for me first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
Anyway, he doesn't have too many skill points on him right now and can't support too many skills. Movement skills have a higher priority.
As for the passive skill books that increase all attributes, he can slowly collect some lower-tier ones, preferably Common Grade ones, after returning to the Initial Continent.
"Alright." Xiaoyu said.
The next instant, a system notification sounded in Su Yu's ear.
[Congratulations on obtaining Thunder Flash Skill Book * 1.]
Su Yu didn't hesitate at all and decisively used the Thunder Flash Skill Book in his backpack.
[Congratulations on obtaining the Legendary-Grade skill: Thunder Flash!]
[Lv1 Thunder Flash (Legendary-Grade): Active skill, invokes the power of thunder to instantly flash to a designated location, with a maximum flash distance of 1,000 meters;]
[Simultaneously deals physical attack power * 100% lightning damage to all enemies along the path, with a damage radius of 3 meters and a certain probability of causing a paralysis effect;]
[Consumes 1,000 mana points, with a cooldown of 10 seconds.]
"Finally, I have an active movement skill." Su Yu nodded with satisfaction.
The Thunder Flash skill is a blink-type movement skill, which means Thunder Flash can ignore obstacles and has very strong applicability.
If it is a movement skill similar to Charge, once it hits an obstacle, it will crash directly into it, causing damage to itself instead, and it is not very useful in some complex environments.
However, blink-type movement skills do not have this problem and can perform stably no matter how complex the environment is.
At the same time, the Thunder Flash skill is also an AoE skill. Combined with the extra damage from the Wings of the Thunder Emperor, it is also good for clearing mobs in certain situations.
"Directly upgrade to level 31." Su Yu thought to himself.
The higher the skill level of Thunder Flash, the further the flash distance is likely to be. To be honest, a distance of 1,000 meters is still a bit too short for Su Yu.
He currently generally attacks from two to three kilometers away.
If he wants to launch a close-quarters sneak attack, it's best for the flash distance of the Thunder Flash skill to exceed two kilometers.
With a thought in Su Yu's mind, he directly spent 2,790 skill points to upgrade Thunder Flash from level 1 to level 31.
[Lv31 Thunder Flash (Legendary-Grade): Active skill, invokes the power of thunder to instantly flash to a designated location, with a maximum flash distance of 2,500 meters;]
[Simultaneously deals physical attack power * 250% lightning damage to all enemies along the path, with a damage radius of 6 meters and a certain probability of causing a paralysis effect;]
[Consumes 1,300 mana points, with a cooldown of 7 seconds.]
[Lv10 Trait: This skill can store up to 10 Charges.]
[Lv20 Trait: Damage radius increased by 100%.]
[Lv30 Trait: After flashing, if damage is dealt to 10 targets simultaneously, +1 to stored Charges.]
"Interesting, doesn't this mean that if there are enough targets, I can use Thunder Flash infinitely?" A smile curled up the corners of Su Yu's mouth.
Currently, the damage radius of Thunder Flash is 12 meters, and the flash distance is 2,500 meters.
Under extreme circumstances, the coverage area of Thunder Flash is equivalent to a rectangular area 24 meters wide and 2,500 meters long.
In such a large area, as long as there are 10 targets, one Charge of Thunder Flash can be added.
It is equivalent to the Thunder Flash just used having no consumption of Charges.
That is to say, as long as there are enough targets, he can use Thunder Flash infinitely.
This is a huge boost to his flexibility.
After upgrading the skill, Su Yu had a thought, and two thin booklets appeared in his hands.
[Inheritance of Blood True Meaning (Special): Understand the contents within, and you will comprehend the Blood True Meaning.]
[Inheritance of Thunder True Meaning (Special): Understand the contents within, and you will comprehend the Thunder True Meaning.]
Su Yu simply flipped through the two booklets.
These two booklets were very thin, each with only eighteen pages, and each page had a pattern on it.
The pattern on the first page was the simplest, and the further back it went, the more complex it became.
"Xiaoyu, what are the functions of the Blood True Meaning and the Thunder True Meaning?" Su Yu asked.
Chapter 176: The Role of True Intent!
A moment later, Xiaoyu's crisp voice resounded in Su Yu's mind.
"Master, True Intent is a special kind of power. After comprehending True Intent, one can draw upon the power of heaven and earth to augment basic attacks or skills, inflicting additional damage on enemies, or augment oneself to reduce the damage received."
"In addition, depending on the True Intent, different traits can be appended after the augmentation."
"For example, the True Intent of Blood possesses traits such as causing the target to enter a bleeding state and making one's combat power stronger the lower one's health is."
"The True Intent of Thunder possesses traits such as causing the target to enter a paralyzed state and increasing one's own movement speed."
[Remember the site's domain name, Taiwan Novel Network, which has a large collection of books at lWakan.com for you to read at will.]
"After mastering True Intent, it is divided from level 1 to level 10. The higher the True Intent level, the stronger the power."
"After True Intent reaches level 10, one can attempt to condense a domain."
"Within the domain, one's own strength will be augmented, while the enemy's strength will be suppressed."
"Of course, enemies can also unfold their own domains to counter. If the gap in domain strength between both sides is not large, neither side will be affected much."
Su Yu nodded thoughtfully.
Augmenting basic attacks or skills with True Intent could cause extra damage.
Augmenting oneself could reduce the damage taken; it sounded somewhat similar to a passive skill.
This meant that for every additional True Intent comprehended, one's overall strength would be enhanced.
"Xiaoyu, what is the difference between True Intent and passive skills?" Su Yu asked curiously.
Xiaoyu immediately said, "The essence of True Intent's power is of a higher tier. To someone who has not comprehended True Intent, facing someone who has is simply a dimensional reduction strike."
"If one has not comprehended True Intent oneself, one will be unable to fend off the extra damage originating from True Intent."
"Even having a divine-tier life-saving trump card won't work."
A flash of solemnity crossed Su Yu's eyes. He hadn't expected that True Intent could even ignore divine-tier life-saving trump cards.
Compared to someone who hadn't comprehended True Intent, someone who had was simply an existence on a completely different level.
"Let's try comprehending the True Intent of Blood first," Su Yu thought to himself.
Anyway, he no longer needed to hunt Blood Beasts. The blood crystals currently in his inventory could be exchanged for over two billion Blood Trial points.
It could be said that the reward for first place in the Blood Trial was already safely in his grasp; he only needed to patiently wait for the Blood Trial to end.
It was absolutely quiet here with no one to disturb him, making it the perfect place for him to comprehend True Intent.
Su Yu opened the booklet containing the inheritance of the True Intent of Blood, and the pattern on the first page appeared in his field of vision.
He held his breath and concentrated, focusing all his attention on the pattern on the first page.
Hum~
Su Yu only felt a slight swelling in his head, and everything from the outside world was instantly isolated. His entire person seemed to fall into a boundless, blood-colored illusion.
He saw someone fighting in a bloody bath, suffering heavy injuries, yet igniting their power through the blood within their body. The more scarred they were, the more terrifying their combat power became.
He also saw someone burning their flesh and blood to unleash a world-destroying strike.
He further saw the blood of fallen creatures spilling over the earth, their vital energy surging upward, only to be devoured and absorbed by others to transform into their own power.
...
Scene after scene flashed across Su Yu's mind, as if allowing him to witness a new world.
The next moment, countless fragmented insights surged over like a tidal wave.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, a smile curving the corners of his mouth.
"The True Intent of Blood can finally be considered mastered."
Su Yu opened his class panel, where a piece of information he had never seen before had appeared.
[True Intent: True Intent of Blood (Level 1, 1%)]
With a thought, Su Yu directly activated the True Intent of Blood to augment himself.
He instantly felt an invisible force covering the surface of his body, as if he were wearing an extra set of armor.
"Interesting, I wonder how much damage a newly mastered True Intent of Blood can reduce," Su Yu thought to himself.
Although the True Intent of Blood was a higher-tier power, right now Su Yu had only grasped a mere superficial understanding of it.
It was estimated that it could exert some effects, but the effects wouldn't be particularly strong.
Only after he raised the level of the True Intent of Bloodcould he truly manifest the terrifying side of the True Intent of Blood.
After experiencing it for a few minutes, Su Yu canceled the augmentation of the True Intent of Blood.
After comprehending the True Intent of Blood, Su Yu also understood the function of soul power.
Soul power could increase his efficiency in comprehending True Intent. The stronger his soul power, the faster his mind operated, and naturally, the higher his efficiency in comprehending True Intent would be.
At the same time, activating True Intent would also consume soul power.
Of course, soul power recovered at all times; as long as he wasn't constantly engaged in high-intensity combat, it basically wouldn't consume much soul power.
Under normal circumstances, as long as his soul power wasn't exhausted, it wouldn't cause much of an impact on his condition.
"The inheritance booklet truly is a good thing," Su Yuexclaimed with deep emotion.
After mastering True Intent, the soul could perceive the origin of True Intent within heaven and earth, allowing him to continue comprehending it even without the inheritance booklet.
It's just that directly comprehending the origin of True Intent within heaven and earth had extremely low efficiency.
The inheritance booklet was equivalent to an esteemed master, able to guide oneself in comprehending True Intent at any time, preventing one from taking detours.
Moreover, when comprehending the origin of True Intent through the inheritance booklet, it would also be much clearer, naturally resulting in extremely high efficiency.
Without the inheritance booklet, if one wanted to comprehend True Intent, one would at least have to wait until their soul power was strong enough before gradually perceiving the origin of True Intent within heaven and earth.
"Let's put the True Intent of Blood aside for now and master the True Intent of Thunder first," Su Yu thought to himself.
Afterward, he opened the booklet for the inheritance of the True Intent of Thunder, and the pattern on the first page appeared in his field of vision.
With familiar ease, he immersed his consciousness into it.
Hum~
The next instant, Su Yu only felt himself placed in a boundless world of thunder filled with an endless aura of destruction.
In just a few seconds, Su Yu was already completely immersed in it.
A long time later.
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes; his True Intent of Thunderhad also been mastered.
He opened his class panel, and sure enough, the True Intent section on it had changed.
[True Intent: True Intent of Blood (Level 1, 1%), True Intent of Thunder (Level 1, 1%)]
"Both True Intents have been mastered. Next is painstaking effort to slowly raise the True Intent levels," Su Yu thought to himself.
As long as he thoroughly comprehended these two booklets—the inheritance of the True Intent of Blood and the True Intent of Thunder—he could smoothly raise the levels of these two True Intents to the peak of level 10.
"I'll continue comprehending these two True Intents and go out on the very last day," Su Yu quickly made his decision.
After leaving this place, it probably wouldn't be easy for him to find such a quiet environment again.
Especially since the map module would be unlocked during the final three days of the Blood Trial, and all the testers on the leaderboard would appear on the map.
By then, people would probably constantly come to disturb him.
He planned to leave just one day to handle matters in the Blood Trial, especially since the resources he promised to old Wang and the other person hadn't been secured yet.
However, reserving one day should be enough.
Chapter 177: Enlightenment Point!
"Xiaoyu, are there any resources in the Heavenly Dao Shop that can increase soul power, or resources that can speed up the comprehension of true intent?" Su Yu asked.
Hearing this, Xiaoyu immediately began searching for relevant information, and a moment later, gave Su Yu the answer.
"Master, resources that increase soul power are at least Legendary-Grade resources, and you are not currently qualified to exchange for them."
"However, there is indeed one resource that can increase the speed of comprehending true intent."
As the voice fell, an item description appeared in Su Yu's mind.
[Book of Enlightenment (Special): Can convert 1,000 skill points into 1 Enlightenment Point, can be used up to ten times, priced at 1 million gold coins.]
"Priced at 1 million gold coins? Can be used up to ten times?" Su Yu doubted whether he had read it wrong.
This meant that every time the Book of Enlightenment was used, it would cost 100,000 gold coins, and it would also consume 1,000 of his own skill points.
"Xiaoyu, what is the function of the Enlightenment Point that makes it so expensive?" Su Yu asked doubtfully.
Xiaoyu: "Master, don't underestimate the Enlightenment Point. After using it, your thinking speed and compatibility with true intent will be greatly enhanced."
"Combined with the inheritance booklet, it can greatly increase your speed of comprehending true intent."
Su Yu: "Not to mention that converting an Enlightenment Point once requires 100,000 gold coins, is it cost-effective to trade 1,000 skill points for 1 Enlightenment Point?"
Xiaoyu: "If someone else traded 1,000 skill points for 1 Enlightenment Point, it definitely wouldn't be very cost-effective, but for Master, it is quite cost-effective."
"If others want to obtain a large number of skill points, they either have to venture into a Mysterious Land like the Endless Sea, or spend a huge amount of resources to buy skill stones, which comes at an extremely high cost."
"As for Master wanting to obtain a large number of skill points, it is much simpler, and you can easily harvest a bunch of them."
"Therefore, I strongly recommend that Master purchase the Book of Enlightenment. With the Book of Enlightenment, Master's true intent level will definitely make rapid progress."
"Especially in the early stages, when the true intent level is low, raising it will be even easier."
Su Yu nodded slightly; what Xiaoyu said indeed made sense.
Skill points were basically free for him, which was equivalent to exchanging 100,000 gold coins for 1 Enlightenment Point.
Compared to the value of the Enlightenment Point, 100,000 gold coins was simply not worth mentioning.
"Alright, then exchange the Book of Enlightenment for me." Su Yu said in a deep voice.
The next instant, a system prompt sounded in his ears.
[Congratulations on obtaining Book of Enlightenment * 1.]
Without any hesitation, Su Yu directly opened his backpack and used the Book of Enlightenment once.
[Congratulations on obtaining Enlightenment Point * 1.]
Immediately afterwards, Su Yu opened the booklet for the inheritance of the True Intent of Blood and then used the Enlightenment Point.
Su Yu suddenly felt his thinking speed skyrocket, and even his compatibility with the origin of the True Intent of Bloodincreased significantly.
Two hours later.
Su Yu felt his state suddenly plummet, as if he instantly transformed from a top student into a slacker, and the sense of disparity was huge.
He immediately opened his profession panel to check the changes in the true intent column.
[True Intent: True Intent of Blood (Level 1 99%), True Intent of Thunder (Level 1 1%)]
"Hiss! What a terrifying Enlightenment Point!" Su Yu was incomparably shocked in his heart.
In just two hours, he had raised the level of the True Intent of Blood from Level 1 1% to Level 1 99%.
Moreover, he could sense that Level 1 99% was a threshold.
The comprehension required to break through from Level 1 99% to Level 2 far exceeded what was needed before, but now he was only a step away from breaking through to Level 2.
This was enough to demonstrate the terrifying nature of the Enlightenment Point.
"Continue to comprehend the True Intent of Blood!" A flash of anticipation flickered in Su Yu's eyes.
Right now, he still had over 8,000 skill points on him, which could be converted into 8 Enlightenment Points.
Su Yu was very much looking forward to what level he could ultimately elevate these two true intents to.
Time passed bit by bit, and more than a dozen hours quickly went by.
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, and a smile couldn't help but curl up at the corners of his mouth.
Over these dozen hours, his comprehension of the True Intent of Blood and the True Intent of Thunder could be said to have made rapid progress.
Su Yu opened his profession panel, and the levels of the two true intents quietly emerged.
[True Intent: True Intent of Blood (Level 3 7%), True Intent of Thunder (Level 3 55%)]
"I don't know if the True Intent of Thunder is easier to comprehend, or if I have more talent for the True Intent of Thunder." Su Yu was thoughtful.
The time he spent on the True Intent of Blood and the True Intent of Thunder was actually about the same.
However, the latter's progress bar had already passed the halfway mark, while the former had just barely gotten started. Su Yu didn't know what the exact reason was.
However, it wasn't a big problem; at worst, he would just spend a little more time on the True Intent of Blood.
"Let's just sleep and go straight out." Su Yu thought to himself.
Originally, Su Yu planned to stay here until the very last day before going out.
But ever since he experienced the comprehension efficiency after using the Enlightenment Point, he no longer wanted to slowly comprehend like he did at the beginning.
He was going to go out to hunt Blood Beasts and collect skill points and gold coins.
As long as he had enough skill points and gold coins, his true intent level could keep soaring at a terrifying speed.
There was simply no need to slowly comprehend and waste time.
After figuring things out, Su Yu directly lay down and instantly entered a deep sleep.
He hadn't rested for too long and needed a deep sleep for all-around recovery.
...
While Su Yu was in deep sleep within the reward settlement space...
In the Middle Layer of the Blood Trial, at the Blood Altarcamp occupied by Longyuan Pavilion...
Inside a huge tent.
"Damn it!"
"Where did this damned Yu Huang run off to?" Longyuan's expression was gloomy, his teeth grinding audibly.
In order to kill Su Yu, he had paid an extremely heavy price.
In the end, he roped in Jian Lingxiao of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Ying Yang of the Sky Eagle Territory, Xue Liof the Blood Demon Alliance, Xing Xuan of Xingluo Pavilion, and Yeming of the Shadow Tower to deal with Su Yu together.
With these five people helping him, Longyuan simply could not imagine any possibility of him losing.
It's just that he didn't expect so much time to have passed without him even finding a trace of Su Yu.
He had arranged for people to watch the Blood Altaroccupied by Su Yu early on, but so much time had passed, and Su Yu had never appeared.
Whether in the Inner Layer or the Middle Layer, there was never any trace of Su Yu.
It was as if he had vanished into thin air.
If Su Yu's name weren't still on the leaderboard, he would have even thought that Su Yu had already been eliminated.
"Just have Mo Ling issue a bounty!"
"I refuse to believe that among so many people in the Blood Trial, we can't find a single trace of Yu Huang." A sharp glint flashed across Longyuan's eyes.
Money makes the mare go; he didn't believe he couldn't find Su Yu's whereabouts.
Chapter 178: The Six Divine Sons Gather Together!
In the reward settlement space, time trickled away bit by bit.
When the last trace of fatigue dissipated from his body, Su Yu slowly opened his eyes.
This sleep had been exceptionally sound.
From entering the Blood Trial until now, he had hardly closed his eyes.
After a deep sleep, his entire spirit and energy had reached their peak state.
"It is time to go out."
Su Yu stood up and simply stretched his muscles and bones.
The next instant, he directly communicated with the rules of the reward settlement space, a beam of blood-colored light descended from the sky, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
...
Middle Layer of the Blood Trial.
At this moment, a few kilometers away from the Blood Altar occupied by Su Yu, several sneaky figures were constantly glancing over here.
They were the ones sent by Longyuan to keep watch.
"I don't know where Yu Huang went, he hasn't appeared even after so long."
"Anyway, it's impossible that he entered the Inner Layer, after all, no one can stay in the Inner Layer for so long."
"Do you think he was scared of Divine Son Longyuan and specifically found some corner to hide in?"
"It's possible, it is said that Divine Son Longyuan has united with five major top factions, determined to eliminate Yu Huang."
"No matter how strong Yu Huang is alone, he cannot resist the joint forces of the six factions. Now that Divine Son Longyuan has issued a bounty, it shouldn't be long before Yu Huang's traces are discovered."
"Sigh, it's a pity that we can only guard here, if Yu Huangkeeps hiding and doesn't come out, we probably won't have the chance to get the bounty reward."
Several people discussed animatedly, feeling quite a bit of regret in their hearts.
So much time had passed, and Yu Huang had not returned to this Blood Altar, he might never come back.
Guarding here, it would be very difficult for them to have the opportunity to get the bounty reward.
However, the only comforting thing was that by guarding here, they could get a minimum guaranteed reward, so at least their lower limit was secured.
Suddenly, they noticed that not far away, the space near the Blood Altar distorted for a moment, and a figure quietly emerged.
"Holy shit, it's Yu Huang! Yu Huang has appeared!"
"Quick! Quick! Quickly notify Big Boss Mo Ling, this wave is not a loss, not only can we get the minimum guaranteed reward, but we can also get the bounty reward."
"Hahaha, we are truly blessed by the God of Fortune."
"Where did Yu Huang go? Could it be that he stayed in the Inner Layer for such a long time? Truly incredible."
"Who cares where he went, anyway, we've made a huge profit this wave."
...
On the other side, as soon as Su Yu's figure appeared near the Blood Altar, he keenly perceived those few figures a few kilometers away.
They thought they were hiding very well, but with the blessing of the Blood Gods Eye, Su Yu's vision was frighteningly good.
Instantly, he discovered the movement a few kilometers away.
"Are these the people sent by Longyuan to keep watch? It seems he really cares about me."
The corners of Su Yu's mouth curled up slightly, and he did not rush to make a move against those figures in the distance.
He could just use them to spread his location.
He would just wait here for the fish to take the bait, saving worry and effort, why not?
Su Yu casually found a stone nearby and sat down, pretending to be resting.
Neither did he immediately exchange the blood crystal on his body for Blood Trial points.
Otherwise, with over two billion Blood Trial points instantly surging, he was afraid he would scare the fish away.
...
Middle Layer of the Blood Trial, the Blood Altar camp occupied by Longyuan Pavilion.
In a huge tent.
"Good, good, good, Yu Huang, you have finally appeared, this time you cannot escape your doom." Longyuan's voice carried a hint of excitement.
Mo Ling sent a message to Longyuan the very first moment he received the news.
Longyuan did not hesitate at all and immediately sent messages to Jian Lingxiao, Ying Yang, Xue Li, and others.
After confirming that everyone had received the message, Longyuan directly told them to immediately activate the fixed-point teleportation scrolls.
Swish!
A golden scroll appeared in Longyuan's hand, this was a fixed-point teleportation scroll.
During the time Su Yu had not appeared, Longyuan had also made a great deal of preparations.
The fixed-point teleportation scroll was one of those preparations.
He had long sent people to record the coordinates near the Blood Altar occupied by Su Yu.
Besides him, Jian Lingxiao, Ying Yang, Xue Li, and the others also had a fixed-point teleportation scroll in their hands.
This allowed them to gather instantly and jointly launch an attack on Su Yu.
With a thought in Longyuan's mind, he decisively activated the fixed-point teleportation scroll in his hand.
Hum!
A beam of golden light descended from the sky, and Longyuan's figure instantly vanished from the spot.
...
A few kilometers away from Su Yu.
Just as several watchers were still excited, the space not far behind them suddenly distorted.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
Figures with extraordinary auras emerged one after another.
Before long, all six figures appeared, standing shoulder to shoulder.
"They're here, they're here!" Several watchers trembled with excitement, their eyes wide as they looked at the six figures not far behind them.
You must know that these six were all divine sons of major factions; normally, they couldn't even touch figures of this level.
And now, six divine son-level prodigies appeared before their eyes simultaneously, this was definitely a historic first.
"Everyone." Longyuan spoke first, his voice deep and powerful.
"Yu Huang's strength is formidable, in a one-on-one situation none of our opponents are a match for him, since we have joined forces today, we cannot give him any breathing room."
"Today, we are bound to eliminate him directly, otherwise it will be very difficult to find such a good opportunity next time."
Jian Lingxiao said indifferently: "That is naturally the case, the six of us joining forces is enough to sweep through everything."
Ying Yang's eyes were gloomy: "Rest assured, I will definitely do my utmost and not hold back any trump cards, until Yu Huang dies, my heart will not be at ease."
Xue Li chuckled: "I'd like to see what kind of ability Yu Huang has that actually makes you all value him so much."
Xing Xuan and Yeming did not speak, merely casting their gazes toward the figure in the distance who seemed to be resting, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Xing Xuan, buff us with beneficial effects first," Longyuan said in a deep voice.
"Alright." Xing Xuan nodded, and then began to cast various beneficial buffs on everyone.
When everything was ready, Longyuan's gaze sank, and he said in a deep voice: "Make a move!"
As his voice fell, six terrifying auras erupted simultaneously.
Boom!
The six of them turned into six streams of light of different colors, killing towards Su Yu at the same time.
"With six divine sons attacking at the same time, Yu Huangis truly done for this time, he can't fly away even with wings."
"This wave of ours is a massive profit! Witnessing such a grand scene is enough to brag about for a lifetime when we go back."
"I wonder what sacred figure this Yu Huang actually is, to actually be valued so much by the six divine sons."
Several watchers lowered their voices and whispered to each other, their faces faintly showing some excitement.
Being able to witness this peak battle with their own eyes, they were simply too lucky.
Chapter 179: Life-Ransom Money!
Boom!
Six streaks of light in various colors tore across the sky, emitting a deafening roar.
A distance of several kilometers took only tens of seconds for God-child-level prodigies.
Su Yu was still sitting on that stone, not even changing his posture.
He raised his gaze slightly, watching the six rapidly approaching figures, a faint, intangible smile still hanging at the corners of his mouth.
"Longyuan and Ying Yang can be considered old friends."
"As for the other four, although I don't know who they are, since they can keep up with the pace of Longyuan and Ying Yang, they must all be God-child-level figures."
"It seems Longyuan really values me." Su Yu murmured softly.
Facing the joint forces of six God-child-level prodigies, if it were anyone else, they would probably have been terrified out of their wits by now.
But Su Yu merely stood up slowly, straightened his clothes simply, and looked as calm as if he were waiting for guests from afar.
Swoosh!
The six figures landed almost simultaneously, merely a few hundred meters away from Su Yu.
Longyuan stood in the middle, his gaze like a blade, staring fixedly at Su Yu: "Yu Huang, you certainly have a lot of nerve. To think you still dare to stand here even after seeing us arrive."
Su Yu glanced at him indifferently: "Standing here waiting for you saves me the trouble of looking for you one by one. Isn't this quite good?"
"Arrogant!" Ying Yang shouted angrily, his eyes gloomy.
Jian Lingxiao stood with his arms folded around his sword and said coldly: "With the six of us joining forces, you have no chance at all. If you know what's good for you, hand over the blood crystal yourself, and perhaps you can still leave with some dignity."
Xue Li, Xing Xuan, and Yeming did not speak, but faint lights flashed in their hands, seeming ready to strike at any moment.
Longyuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, no more nonsense."
"Since he is so unfazed, let us show him what... despair means!"
"Attack!"
The six of them erupted almost simultaneously.
Terrifying energy fluctuations instantly crushed down toward Su Yu.
With a thought from Su Yu, the True Intent of Blood and the True Intent of Thunder instantly blessed himself. He could just take this opportunity to test the damage reduction capabilities of the two True Intents.
Bang, bang, bang!
Su Yu didn't dodge or evade. Yet, these six attacks couldn't even break the shield on his body.
"Is this it?" A sneer curled at the corner of Su Yu's mouth.
Ever since his Life-Devouring Body reached level 120 and accumulated full stacks of the Life-Devouring Mark, his ultimate damage reduction had already reached 135%.
Coupled with the fact that the shield provided by his class talent was a permanent shield, even though he hadn't fought for a long time, the shield still existed.
The attacks of Longyuan and the other five bombarded his body, merely scraping off a tiny bit of skin from the shield, leaving him almost undamaged.
As for the True Intent of Blood and the True Intent of Thunder, they were blessed on the body surface and required the shield to be broken before their effects could manifest.
Right now, their damage reduction capabilities couldn't be tested at all.
"What?" Longyuan's pupils shrank.
Although the attack just now was not his strongest offensive method, it was enough to rank in the top three.
Such a powerful attack only dealt a little over 200,000 damage to Su Yu. What kind of terrifying defensive capability was this?
How long had it been since they last met? Su Yu's strength had undergone earth-shattering changes once again.
"This is impossible!" Ying Yang was struck with sheer terror.
The last time he fought with Su Yu, he could still pose some threat to Su Yu.
This time, as soon as he made a move, it was his strongest single-target skill, yet it only dealt just over 100,000 damage to Su Yu.
This made him wonder if he was dreaming; how could Su Yu's strength suddenly become so much stronger?
Jian Lingxiao's gaze turned solemn, and the smile on Xue Li's face froze completely.
A look of incredulity also flashed in the eyes of Xing Xuanand Yeming.
Especially Xing Xuan; her output ability was originally the weakest among them all, and her strike just now didn't even deal any damage to Su Yu.
To put it bluntly, she couldn't even break Su Yu's defense.
This scene directly caused the hearts of the six to sink to the bottom of the sea. They hadn't expected Yu Huang's strength to be so terrifying.
"Alright, now it's my turn." Su Yu smiled and said.
However, his smile landed in the eyes of the others like a biting cold wind, making their hearts tremble.
Blood Gods Eye!
A flash of blood color crossed the depths of Su Yu's eyes as he simultaneously activated the True Intent of Bloodand the True Intent of Thunder.
Although Blood Gods Eye was a talent, in essence, it was also a kind of offensive method similar to a skill.
"No!" Longyuan let out a heart-wrenching, miserable scream.
The next instant, his body directly turned into a streak of white light and disappeared on the spot.
"Long... Longyuan has been eliminated." Xing Xuanwidened her eyes, unable to believe this scene before her.
Such a powerful Longyuan was actually killed in one move by Su Yu.
She didn't even see Su Yu make any move; most likely, he used that legendary skill that kills people invisibly.
However, that skill was said to be unable to ignore high-tier life-saving trump cards.
Longyuan definitely had a high-tier life-saving trump card, so why was he still killed in one hit now?
Could it be that that skill had grown stronger again? Now it could even ignore high-tier life-saving trump cards?
This completely exceeded her imagination.
After instantly killing Longyuan, Su Yu turned his target to Ying Yang.
"Yu..." Ying Yang only had time to utter a single word before he too turned into a white streak of light and disappeared from the spot.
In less than a second, Longyuan and Ying Yang, two God-children whose strengths could rank in the top three, were eliminated one after another.
The entire scene fell into dead silence.
Su Yu clapped his hands, his gaze sweeping across the remaining four people.
Those two old friends, Longyuan and Ying Yang, only had the path of elimination, but the other four could be talked to.
Su Yu's tone was flat as he spoke: "As for Longyuan and Ying Yang, I'll send them to leave the Blood Trial first."
"As for the four of you, don't think about escaping right now."
"Otherwise, once the map is unlocked, I will find you and then send you out one by one to see Longyuan and Ying Yang."
Su Yu paused slightly, a meaningful arc hooking at the corners of his mouth.
"You four should introduce yourselves first, and then let's talk about... how to calculate the life-ransom money."
Su Yu's words were like a boulder weighing ten thousand jun, violently slamming into the bottom of the hearts of Jian Lingxiao and the other three.
Jian Lingxiao's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and a sense of humiliation instantly surged into his heart.
As the God-child of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, his strength was astonishing, and there were almost very few among his peers who were his match.
Yet today, the six of them besieged one person, only to have all their attacks casually blocked by the opponent, unable to even break the opponent's shield.
And they even watched helplessly as Longyuan and Ying Yang were killed in one stroke by him, without even having the chance to trigger their life-saving trump cards.
This meant that the gap in strength between them and the opponent had grown to an unimaginable degree.
And now, the opponent couldn't even be bothered to kill them, only making them pay money to buy back their lives.
What difference was this from having someone hold a knife to your neck and demand money? When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Chapter 180: A Bumper Harvest!
The wind blew across the gravel, producing a faint rustling sound, yet it appeared exceptionally harsh at this moment.
Jian Lingxiao and the other three looked at each other, the expressions on each of their faces extremely complex, a sense of powerlessness spontaneously arising.
In the end, it was Jian Lingxiao who spoke up first.
He took a deep breath, as if using up all the strength in his entire body, and slowly said: "Ten Thousand Swords Sect... Jian Lingxiao."
Xue Li forced a smile that was uglier than crying from the corners of his mouth: "Blood Demon Alliance, Xue Li."
Xing Xuan bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Xingluo Pavilion... Xing Xuan."
Yeming was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Shadow Tower, Yeming."
After the four of them introduced themselves, they stopped speaking, waiting for Su Yu's judgment.
Su Yu swept his gaze calmly across the four of them. Just as he expected, all four were god-son-level figures.
He glanced at the current Blood Trial leaderboard.
After Longyuan and Ying Yang were eliminated, Jian Lingxiao had already risen to second place, and Xue Li had also reached third place.
Yeming was currently in fifth place, and as for Xing Xuan, her ranking was slightly lower, but she was also ranked eighth.
Among the top five of the Blood Trial leaderboard, besides him, there were now three people right here.
It could only be said that Longyuan indeed paid a heavy price in order to deal with him, actually managing to gather such a luxurious lineup.
"Alright, I have remembered all of your names." Su Yu's tone was calm, carrying a bit of casualness.
"You are all figures on the leaderboard. Without me saying much, you must also know how disastrous the losses of being eliminated are."
"Capital punishment can be avoided, but living punishment is inescapable. I can give you time to go back and raise ransom money."
"As for the amount..."
Su Yu paused slightly: "I will decide based on your rankings."
"Jian Lingxiao, your ransom is eighteen million gold coins, or resources of equivalent value."
"Xue Li, your ransom is twelve million gold coins, or resources of equivalent value."
"Yeming, your ransom is nine million gold coins, or resources of equivalent value."
"Xing Xuan, your ransom is four million gold coins, or resources of equivalent value."
"Do you have any objections to my arrangement?" Su Yusmiled and said.
The second place of the Blood Trial leaderboard could obtain three self-selected Legendary-Grade resources, as well as three bottles of high-grade soul liquid.
Su Yu directly calculated it based on three million gold coins per resource, making Jian Lingxiao's arranged ransom eighteen million gold coins.
Everyone else followed the same line of thought, without favoring one over another.
It was just that epic grade resources were calculated at one million gold coins per resource, so Yeming and Xing Xuan's ransoms looked much smaller.
Although normally, self-selected Legendary-Graderesources or high-grade soul liquid would most likely be worth more than three million gold coins each.
But he also had to make the four of Jian Lingxiao feel that there was a profit to be made.
Otherwise, if they were pushed into a corner, they might rather be eliminated than pay the ransom.
Jian Lingxiao and the other three exchanged glances, falling into a state of hesitation.
The price Su Yu offered was neither much nor little, which meant their harvest from entering the Blood Trial this time would shrink drastically.
However, thinking of Longyuan and Ying Yang who returned empty-handed, they seemed to feel a little better in their hearts.
Jian Lingxiao looked at Su Yu's gaze, which was calm to the point of indifference, and knew he had no qualification to bargain.
If he dared to say he had objections, the high probability was that there would only be one outcome: elimination.
Jian Lingxiao gritted his teeth and spoke: "Alright, no problem."
Su Yu nodded, swept his gaze over the other three, and said indifferently: "What about the three of you?"
Xue Li hurriedly spoke: "I have no problem."
"No problem."
"I have no problem either." Yeming and Xing Xuan spoke one after another.
Su Yu smiled and said: "Since everyone has no problem, let's make a contract then."
"Three days later, at this same location, you will hand the gold coins to me, and this matter will be considered settled."
"Next, as long as you don't actively provoke me, I won't look for trouble with you again either."
"In addition, a reminder for you all: it is best to give me gold coins directly. If you give me resources, they will be discounted."
Jian Lingxiao and the other three hurriedly nodded, then made a contract with Su Yu.
After making the contract, Jian Lingxiao and the other four galloped away into the distance without looking back, afraid that Su Yu would go back on his word.
After all, only after they handed the gold coins to Su Yuwould the contract fully take effect, and only then could Su Yu not actively make a move against them.
Furthermore, next, as long as their people actively provoked Su Yu, the contract would also immediately become invalid.
However, there was nothing to be done about this; circumstances were stronger than people, and the content of the contract naturally took safeguarding Su Yu's interests as the standard.
Several kilometers away.
A few watchers were observing the situation near the Blood Altar from afar.
"This... This is impossible."
One of them had a trembling voice, as if he had seen some incredible matter.
Six god-son-tier prodigies besieged a single person, but as a result, the strongest two among them were instantly killed by the opponent.
The whole process took no more than one second.
"How were Longyuan and Ying Yang instantly killed by someone so suddenly?"
"How... How could Yu Huang's strength be so terrifying?"
"Quick... Quickly notify Mo Ling, Longyuan has been instantly killed by someone."
Their complexions turned pale. They were all people from Longyuan Pavilion, and they deeply knew how powerful Longyuan was.
Yet such a powerful Longyuan was actually instantly killed by someone in a single move.
This was simply seeing a ghost.
How could anyone in this world be so terrifyingly strong? This completely shattered their worldview.
"The remaining four god-sons seem to have made some kind of contract with Yu Huang, and then escaped together."
"Quick! This news must also be notified to Mo Ling."
"What should we do? Now that Longyuan has been eliminated, our Longyuan Pavilion is simply no match for the other major factions."
Suddenly, several of them felt as if something violently pierced through the depths of their brains, their consciousness instantly scattering.
The next instant, their bodies directly transformed into a streak of white light and disappeared from the spot.
On the other side, Su Yu looked at those figures several kilometers away that had turned into white light and disappeared, a smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.
"Now there are no peeping little bugs left."
Su Yu came back to the stone he had rested on earlier and sat down, his posture even being exactly the same as before.
As if the gathering of the six god-sons just now was merely a dream.
"This wave directly harvested 43 million gold coins. It seems I will be able to go on a spending spree in the Heavenly Dao Shop when the time comes."
A trace of joy flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
"As the saying goes, a horse cannot grow fat without nocturnal feed, and a person cannot become wealthy without windfall gains."
These four god-sons were simply four cash cows. You must know that after working hard for so long before, he had only harvested a little over two million gold coins.
Now this wave directly harvested over forty million gold coins; it could be said to be a bumper harvest.
"It is time to exchange the blood crystals for Blood Trialpoints."
A trace of anticipation flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
Very soon, he would be able to exchange for all the other four items in the Blood Trial hidden shop.
