Chapter 201: nine-cold mysterious ice fruit!
Quickly, Xiaoyu completed the purchase, and a bottle of flora essence appeared in Su Yu's backpack.
With a thought from Su Yu, an exquisite small jade bottle appeared in his hand.
The bottle body was transparent, filled with a light green liquid.
Su Yu pulled out the cork, and a faint fragrance of flora rushed into his nose.
"Such a small bottle costs one million gold coins; I hope it will be worth the money." Su Yu muttered.
He held the small jade bottle and came before the nine-cold mysterious ice tree.
A crystal-clear, light-green droplet slipped from the mouth of the bottle, landing precisely at the roots of the nine-cold mysterious ice tree.
Hum!
The nine-cold mysterious ice tree trembled violently, and the fruit emitting a faint dark blue glow upon it began to vibrate intensely.
The dark blue micro-light on the surface of the fruit suddenly surged, turning into a dazzling ice-blue light.
At the same time, delicate cracks began to appear on the crystal-clear trunk of the nine-cold mysterious ice tree, and its leaves withered and fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Rustle~
In a short while, the entire nine-cold mysterious ice treewithered completely, and the light on the fruit instantly converged.
"It has finally matured." Su Yu revealed a smile.
A drop of flora essence directly saved him three days of waiting, making this money well spent indeed.
He stepped forward, directly plucked the fruit from the tree, and checked the fruit's information.
[nine-cold mysterious ice fruit (Legendary-Grade): After consumption, it can slightly increase one's own life origin and soul power.]
[Prompt: After consuming a certain amount of nine-cold mysterious ice fruit, it can slightly increase one's compatibility with the True Intent of Ice.]
"Huh? It actually has the effect of increasing one's compatibility with the True Intent of Ice?" Su Yu was somewhat surprised.
"Master, just look at this prompt; in reality, the effect is extremely weak." Xiaoyu's voice sounded in Su Yu's mind.
"Alright, after all, it's just a Legendary-Grade resource, so we can't have too high expectations for it." Su Yu shrugged, expressing understanding.
Putting away the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit, Su Yucontinued to gallop forward.
When using resources that elevate life level and soul level, a certain digestion time is required, and now was clearly not a good time.
Su Yu planned to wait until he returned to Yuhuang Mansion before finding a time to use them all together.
...
About two hours later.
Su Yu found that there was no way forward before him; he had reached the end of this side of the ice fissure.
"Let's go up first, and then explore the other end." Su Yuthought to himself.
At the bottom of the ice fissure, the fog was heavy. Due to limited vision, Su Yu's flight speed was not fast.
If he returned along the original path directly from the bottom of the ice fissure, it would probably take another two and a half hours to return to the starting point.
But if he went up first, under conditions where vision was not restricted, he could safely raise his movement speed to the limit, greatly shortening the travel time.
Swish!
Behind Su Yu, the Thunder Wings vibrated, galloping toward the upper part of the ice fissure.
"I wonder how many nine-cold mysterious ice fruits can be harvested on the other end of the ice fissure." Su Yu felt some anticipation in his heart.
On this side of the ice fissure, he had harvested a total of four nine-cold mysterious ice fruits.
According to Xiaoyu's statement, one nine-cold mysterious ice fruit could increase his life level by about 0.2 levels and his soul level by 0.1 levels.
It could be considered a quite extraordinary rare treasure.
Although the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit could not exert any effect on people whose life level reached level 10 or whose soul level reached level 5,
this did not affect Su Yu, since neither his life level nor his soul level had exceeded the limit.
A few minutes later.
Su Yu abruptly flew out of the ice fissure.
He glanced at the surrounding environment and discovered that he had arrived at the edge of the Snow Region.
Not far ahead of him was a thick secret realm barrier, completely isolating the Snow Region from the outside world.
Su Yu did not linger for long, turning around and galloping toward the other end of the ice fissure.
Under the blessing of the True Intent of Thunder, his movement speed soared to nearly three times the speed of sound, and his entire person turned into a streak of thunder light.
About half an hour later.
Su Yu came to a familiar location, which was precisely the spot where he had first discovered the ice fissure.
Swish!
Su Yu dove headfirst into the ice fissure, continuously penetrating deeper toward the bottom.
Ten kilometers, fifty kilometers, one hundred kilometers...
Perhaps because it had already been cleared once by Su Yu, there were no Frost Flying Snakes blocking the way along the journey.
A few minutes later, Su Yu returned to the bottom of the ice fissure.
This time, he changed direction and galloped away.
Next, as long as he could harvest another four nine-cold mysterious ice fruits, he would be completely satisfied.
Su Yu swept across all the way, and more nine-cold mysterious ice trees were continuously discovered by him.
In the middle, he also replenished flora essence once.
According to Su Yu's multiple experiences using flora essence, one drop of flora essence could roughly accelerate the growth time of a nine-cold mysterious ice tree by ten days.
A bottle of flora essence could roughly accelerate the growth time of a nine-cold mysterious ice tree by three years.
The effect was still quite good.
About three hours later.
Su Yu plucked the tenth nine-cold mysterious ice fruit. At this point, only the last three drops remained of the two bottles of flora essence.
It was equivalent to him spending two million gold coins to pocket ten nine-cold mysterious ice fruits a few years ahead of schedule.
Suddenly, Su Yu felt the earth beneath his feet tremble violently.
Rumble!
A dull, deafening roar sounded in his ears.
He lowered his head and looked, discovering that the originally flat ground was squeezing against each other and arching up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Damn it, is this ice fissure about to close?" Su Yu cursed inwardly.
Without any hesitation, the wings behind him vibrated fiercely, galloping toward the upper part of the ice fissure, dragging a dazzling streak of electricity behind him.
One hundred and fifty kilometers, one hundred and twenty kilometers, one hundred kilometers...
The higher he flew, the thinner the fog became, and the more things Su Yu could observe.
He discovered that this ice fissure was indeed closing, and the smooth ice walls on both sides were crushing toward him at an extremely fast speed.
Thunder Flash! Thunder Flash!
With a thought from Su Yu, he directly used Thunder Flashten times consecutively.
Under the blessing of the True Intent of Thunder, the teleportation distance of Thunder Flash approached ten kilometers.
In an instant, Su Yu rushed out of the ice fissure and flew toward the air.
"What is this situation?" Su Yu looked at the closing ice fissure below, full of doubts in his heart.
"Master, perhaps it's because you plucked all the nine-cold mysterious ice fruits, triggering some kind of protection mechanism in the Snow Region?" Xiaoyu guessed.
Before long, the ice fissure below completely closed.
"Fortunately, I have enough methods, otherwise it would have been miserable." Su Yu helplessly shook his head.
If he hadn't used Thunder Flash, with his current movement speed, he definitely wouldn't have been able to run out.
"Perhaps this is how wealth is sought amidst danger." Su Yu looked at the ten nine-cold mysterious ice fruits in his backpack, a smile curling up the corner of his mouth.
Ten nine-cold mysterious ice fruits could roughly raise his life level by 2 levels and his soul level by 1 level.
This was definitely a huge harvest!
Chapter 202: Taoties Stomach!
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the evening of the second day arrived.
"I've been exploring for more than a day straight. It seems that apart from these ten nine-cold mysterious ice fruits, there are no other rarities in the Snow Region." Su Yushook his head helplessly.
Ever since the ice fissure closed up, he had explored almost the entire Snow Region, yet he still hadn't found any new rarities.
He suspected that rarities only existed within that ice fissure in the Snow Region.
Perhaps new rarities would only appear when the ice fissure split open again.
"I'll return to Yuhuang Mansion to rest first, and then use today's matchmaking attempts for the Heavens Battlefield," Su Yu thought to himself.
After using today's matchmaking attempts for the Heavens Battlefield, he would most likely be able to advance to the gold grade Heavens Battlefield.
Barring any accidents, he would be able to advance to the Star Grade Heavens Battlefield in about a week.
Completing the 3rd class advancement mission would most likely be very easy.
After all, his True Intent of Thunder had already reached level 5. Even ordinary 4th class advancement professionals didn't have such a high level of True Intent.
Now, his shortcomings in all attributes had also been filled.
Aside from having two fewer class talents than a 4th class advancement professional, he was basically no different, or even stronger.
With a thought from Su Yu, a beam of white light descended from the sky, and his figure vanished from the spot instantly.
...
Tianyuan City, Yuhuang Mansion.
Buzz!
As space distorted for a moment, Su Yu's figure quietly emerged.
"As expected, after exiting the Snow Region, I appear at the location where I entered." Su Yu looked at the familiar surroundings, lost in thought.
Swish!
Moving his body, he walked toward the pavilion in the front yard, which was now his place for secluded cultivation.
He liked staying in the yard; it was more spacious, and the air and environment were better.
Arriving at the pavilion, Su Yu took out a nine-cold mysterious ice fruit directly from his inventory.
Just as Su Yu was about to swallow it in one bite, Xiao Yu's urgent voice sounded in his mind.
"Master, before using the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit, I suggest you learn a God-tier passive skill called 'Taoties Stomach'."
"Taoties Stomach?" Su Yu was puzzled.
Xiao Yu continued, "Taoties Stomach can enhance your digestion and absorption ability, allowing you to bring out the full effect of the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit."
"Uh, why didn't you say so earlier? Otherwise, I would have waited before using the life fruit and soul essence fruit," Su Yu said, somewhat helplessly.
Xiao Yu said aggrievedly, "The Taoties Stomach skill book is a new item added to the exchange shop after you advanced to the silver grade Heavens Battlefield. I didn't know about it before either."
"Xiao Yu can only provide you with the best advice based on currently available information."
"Alright, it's my fault for blaming you," Su Yu smiled.
After advancing to the silver grade Heavens Battlefield, many items were added to the exchange shop.
However, he hadn't looked through them carefully one by one; he had simply let Xiao Yu record them down, intending to check them when needed later.
He hadn't expected to need them so soon.
"How much reputation does it cost to exchange for a Taoties Stomach skill book?" Su Yu inquired.
Xiao Yu immediately replied, "2,500 reputation."
Su Yu nodded thoughtfully.
2,500 reputation was not much. It was probably because the function of Taoties Stomach was quite niche, which was why it was so cheap.
After all, most people wouldn't spend a large number of skill points to cultivate a God-tier passive skill that only increased digestion and absorption ability.
"I probably won't consume rarities rarely in the future, so I should exchange for a Taoties Stomach," Su Yu thought to himself.
Spending this 2,500 reputation would at most slightly delay the time to upgrade his Infinite Growth talent to Level 2, which wasn't a big deal.
After all, he still had over thirty million skill points on him now, so he wasn't short on skill points in the short term.
Swish!
Su Yu stood up, moved his body, left Yuhuang Mansion, and sped toward the teleportation square.
...
Before long, Su Yu familiarly arrived at the Heavens Battlefield personal space and successfully obtained the Taoties Stomach skill book.
"Still got 9,200 reputation left. I'll just have to save up slowly," Su Yu sighed.
Exchanging for six god-grade talent flowers required 30,000 reputation, which was indeed not an easy task.
Without any hesitation, Su Yu directly used the Taoties Stomach skill book from his inventory.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the God-tier skill: Taoties Stomach!]
[Lv1 Taoties Stomach (God-tier): Passive skill, enhances digestion and absorption ability.]
"This skill doesn't even have numerical values," Su Yu was dumbfounded.
It was his first time seeing a skill without any numerical values; he didn't even know how much digestion and absorption ability it specifically enhanced.
"Master, digestion and absorption ability is inherently difficult to quantify," Xiao Yu explained.
"However, you don't need to worry. The higher the skill level, the stronger the digestion and absorption ability. That is absolutely certain."
Su Yu nodded and began upgrading the skill level of Taoties Stomach.
In one breath, he upgraded Taoties Stomach from Level 1 to Level 100, spending a total of only forty-some thousand skill points.
With over thirty million skill points on him now, spending those forty-some thousand skill points felt like nothing at all.
"Let's test the effect first." Su Yu took out a nine-cold mysterious ice fruit and ate it in one bite.
As soon as the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit entered his stomach, it rapidly dissolved.
At the same time, Taoties Stomach instantly kicked into effect. Strands of strange ice power surged along his limbs and bones toward every part of Su Yu's body.
Su Yu could sense that more than half of the energy acted upon his bones, flesh, and internal organs throughout his body.
The other smaller portion of energy rushed into the depths of his brain.
Su Yu couldn't help but close his eyes; the chill throughout his entire body and soul made him tremble slightly.
About ten-odd minutes later.
Su Yu snapped his eyes open, a wisp of cold air flashing in his eyes. The energy of the first nine-cold mysterious ice fruit had already been fully digested and absorbed by him.
He immediately opened his class panel to check his latest attributes.
[Life Level: Level 7.36]
[Soul Level: Level 1.63]
"It has 30% more effect than under normal circumstances." A flash of joy passed through Su Yu's eyes.
Originally, his Life Level was Level 7.1 and his Soul Level was Level 1.5. After using the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit, they were increased by Level 0.26 and Level 0.13 respectively.
According to what Xiao Yu said before, one nine-cold mysterious ice fruit could increase the Life Level by about Level 0.2 and the Soul Level by Level 0.1.
Now, with the boost from Level 100 Taoties Stomach, there was directly a 30% increase in effect.
It was equivalent to gaining the effect of almost one extra fruit for every three nine-cold mysterious ice fruits consumed.
This was definitely a terrifying boost!
"If I continue to raise the level of Taoties Stomach, will I have a chance to directly raise my Life Level to Level 10?" Su Yu's eyes lit up.
If things remained as they were, using the remaining nine nine-cold mysterious ice fruits could increase his Life Level to Level 9.7.
Only 0.3 levels away from Level 10!
This meant that as long as the effect of the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit increased by less than another 20%, it could directly raise his Life Level to Level 10.
A Level 10 Life Level was one of the thresholds for advancing to a 4th class advancement professional, and it was also the limit to which the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit could increase it.
"I'll keep leveling up Taoties Stomach and strive to raise my Life Level to Level 10 in one go!" A sharp glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
Chapter 203: Devouring True Intent!
With a thought, Su Yu directly spent over 130,000 skill points to raise the Taoties Stomach from level 100 to level 200.
After raising the Taoties Stomach to level 200, Su Yudiscovered that its level 200 trait was completely different from the previous ones.
[LV200 Taoties Stomach (God Rank): Passive skill, can enhance digestion and absorption capabilities.]
[LV10 Trait: Can enhance digestion and absorption capabilities.]
[Written here, I hope readers remember our domain name. To read Taiwan novels, go to Taiwan Novel Network, t̴̴w̴̴k̴̴̴a̴̴n̴̴.c̴̴o̴̴m̴̴ super smooth]
[LV20 Trait: Can enhance digestion and absorption capabilities.]
...
[LV200 Trait: Can increase affinity with Devouring True Intent.]
The traits from level 10 to level 190 were all identical, whereas the level 200 trait was completely different, appearing extremely abrupt.
"There's actually Devouring True Intent?" Su Yu was surprised.
"Master, Devouring True Intent is a great thing," Xiao Yu's voice sounded in Su Yu's mind.
"Devouring True Intent can not only be used to enhance digestion and absorption capabilities, but it can also devour all enemy attacks."
"It is an extremely powerful auxiliary and defensive True Intent."
"Furthermore, according to the game database, if you can raise Devouring True Intent to the higher Law Realm, you can unlock even more effects."
"Interesting." Su Yu nodded slightly.
He closed his eyes and quietly sensed the origin of True Intent in heaven and earth, but he couldn't perceive the existence of Devouring True Intent.
"It's probably because my soul level is too low, or my affinity with Devouring True Intent isn't high enough."
Su Yu shook his head, restrained his emotions, and took out another nine-cold mysterious ice fruit from his inventory.
"Let's see how much the effect of this nine-cold mysterious ice fruit can be enhanced." Su Yu felt a bit expectant in his heart.
He ate the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit in one bite and began digesting and absorbing the strange power within it.
About ten minutes later.
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes.
He could clearly feel that the digestion and absorption speed was faster this time, and the increase was also greater.
Opening his class panel, the latest attribute information clearly emerged.
[Life Level: 7.66]
[Soul Level: 1.78]
"The effect of the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit directly increased by 50% compared to before!" A smile curled up at the corner of Su Yu's lips.
It's a sure thing!
The remaining eight nine-cold mysterious ice fruits would be completely enough to raise his life level to 10.
The hardest threshold for advancing to a Rank 4 Class Holder had already been shattered by him!
Among the three requirements for advancing to a Rank 4 Class Holder, only the one requiring all attributes to reach ten stars was the hardest.
Before obtaining the nine-cold mysterious ice fruits, he didn't lack all attributes, only life level.
But now he didn't lack life level anymore, and all his attributes would reach ten stars very soon.
This meant that as long as he reached level 100, he could immediately receive the Rank 4 Class Advancement Quest.
Completing the Rank 4 Class Advancement Quest would allow him to successfully advance to a Rank 4 Class Holder.
"Let's raise Taoties Stomach by another hundred levels to see if the effect of the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit can increase even further," Su Yu thought to himself.
After spending over 220,000 skill points, Taoties Stomachwas successfully raised from level 200 to level 300.
Su Yu glanced at the traits of Taoties Stomach; starting from level 200, they all increased affinity with Devouring True Intent.
"When I find the time, I'll directly use three to five enlightenment pointss all at once to see if I can comprehend Devouring True Intent," Su Yu smiled.
Comprehending True Intent from zero to one was extremely difficult, especially without the guidance of a True Intent Inheritance.
However, Su Yu had the power of wealth and plenty of enlightenment pointss; he was just that wealthy and overbearing.
With Taoties Stomach boosting his affinity with Devouring True Intent, plus the enhancement of enlightenment pointss, getting started with Devouring True Intentshouldn't be too difficult.
Su Yu pulled out another nine-cold mysterious ice fruitfrom his inventory and ate it in one bite.
A few minutes later.
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes; this time, the speed of digesting and absorbing the nine-cold mysterious ice fruitwas significantly faster again.
He opened his class panel, and the information on it had already updated.
[Life Level: 7.96]
[Soul Level: 1.93]
"Alright, I guess this is the limit of the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit," Su Yu shook his head.
The last two times he consumed a nine-cold mysterious ice fruit, it increased his life level by 0.3 and soul level by 0.15.
This meant that the limit of the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit's effect was roughly this much.
No matter how strong his digestion and absorption capabilities were, it was impossible to increase the fruit's inherent effect out of nowhere.
"However, the speed of digesting and absorbing a nine-cold mysterious ice fruit is indeed much faster, so raising the level of Taoties Stomach isn't useless," Su Yu thought to himself.
After testing the limit of the nine-cold mysterious ice fruit's effect, Su Yu used the remaining seven fruits one by one.
About half an hour later.
Su Yu opened his class panel, and his latest attributes changed once again.
[Life Level: 10]
[Soul Level: 2.98]
"Now my life level has reached the Rank 4 threshold, and my soul level has roughly doubled compared to before."
"This trip to the Snow Region was definitely worth every bit!" Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Raising his soul level to 2.98 would also be of immense help for his upcoming comprehension of True Intent.
With the support of enlightenment pointss, his True Intent level would continue to soar at a terrifying speed.
"Time to match for the Heavens Battlefield," Su Yuthought. "But before that, I need to chug some soul liquid to increase my lifespan."
Previously, he had matched four times in the Heavens Battlefield, consuming a total of 91 years of lifespan, and now he had less than 10 years remaining.
Matching once for a silver grade Heavens Battlefieldrequired consuming 50 years of lifespan, which was clearly far from enough right now.
Swish!
With a thought, Su Yu retrieved 30 bottles of primary soul liquid and 10 bottles of intermediate soul liquid from his inventory.
At this point, there were still 80 bottles of intermediate soul liquid, 3 bottles of advanced soul liquid, and 1 bottle of top-tier soul liquid remaining in his inventory.
In no time, Su Yu gained an additional 130 years of lifespan.
Without hesitation, he initiated matchmaking for the silver grade Heavens Battlefield, and a system prompt sounded in his ears.
[Please wait, matching an opponent for you...]
A few seconds later, another system prompt sounded in his ears.
[Opponent matched successfully, preparing for teleportation.]
A beam of white light descended from the sky, and Su Yu's figure instantly vanished on the spot.
Chapter 204: Three Kinds of True Intent!
Arriving in the Silver-tier All-Heavens Battlefield, Su Yusmoothly activated the indiscriminate slaughter mode.
Whether they were fierce beasts or challengers, in his hands, they were only meant to be instantly killed.
After all, the challengers in the Silver-tier All-Heavens Battlefield were almost all fourth transition professionals.
Although almost all of them had hundreds of thousands of points in all attributes, in Su Yu's eyes, there was no difference from level 1 small monsters; they were killed in one move anyway.
After his all attributes reached ten stars, Su Yu's movement speed had already exceeded three times the speed of sound.
In less than ten minutes, a system prompt sounded beside his ear.
[Congratulations on being the first to obtain 1000 points and becoming the winner of this trial.]
At the same time, a system announcement rang in the ears of all surviving challengers.
[Battlefield Announcement: Congratulations to Blue Star Civilization challenger Yu Huang for being the first to obtain 1000 points and becoming the winner of this trial. All challengers will be automatically teleported out after 10 seconds.]
"Sigh, bad luck, to actually run into a big shot coming to fish in troubled waters."
"Fifty years of lifespan are gone just like that, it breaks my heart to death."
"Who on earth is this Yu Huang? Only ten minutes have passed, and I haven't even finished warming up yet, damn it."
"It's too outrageous, the matching mechanism of this Heavens Battlefield is simply too outrageous."
...
On the other side, several system prompts rang in Su Yu's ears again.
[Congratulations on obtaining intermediate soul liquid * 50.]
[Congratulations on obtaining reputation * 1500.]
[Congratulations on obtaining 50 rank points, successfully promoting to the Gold-grade Heavens Battlefield.]
"Getting this reward feels so great! It's a pity it's a one-time thing." Su Yu shook his head helplessly.
The rank points of the Heavens Battlefield only increase and never decrease.
Take the Silver-tier All-Heavens Battlefield for example; no matter how many times one loses, as long as they win twice, they will be promoted to the Gold-grade Heavens Battlefield.
This meant that everyone could only get the reward twice in the Silver-tier All-Heavens Battlefield.
This mechanism also indirectly resulted in the fact that anyone daring to match in the Heavens Battlefield was not weak in strength.
At least they had great confidence that they could win once within ten matches.
As long as they could win once, not only could they earn back all the consumed lifespan, but they could also obtain a massive amount of reputation.
Many god-grade resources could be exchanged for just a few thousand points of reputation. From this perspective, the purchasing power of reputation was still quite strong.
Soon, a white light descended from the sky, and Su Yu was teleported back to the personal space of the Heavens Battlefield.
"Now I can try to comprehend the Devouring True Intent." Su Yu thought to himself.
There was still some time before the midnight refresh of the Heavens Battlefield matching attempts, which could be used to comprehend the Devouring True Intent.
In addition to enhancing digestion and absorption capabilities, the Devouring True Intent could also devour enemy attacks.
Once the level of the Devouring True Intent was raised, his defensive capabilities would also receive a qualitative improvement.
By then, his attacks would have the True Intent of Bloodand True Intent of Thunder, and his defense would have the Devouring True Intent. He could attack and defend, having almost no shortcomings.
Su Yu sat cross-legged and directly used three enlightenment pointss in one breath.
Suddenly, his mind's operational speed skyrocketed, and his inner self became increasingly ethereal.
Without a True Intent inheritance, wanting to go from zero to one and comprehend an unfamiliar True Intent was not easy.
With three enlightenment pointss smashed down simultaneously, Su Yu felt he had great hope of mastering the Devouring True Intent within two hours.
He closed his eyes, his soul power piercing out from his body, quietly perceiving the ubiquitous source of True Intent in the heavens and earth.
About an hour later.
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, a trace of joy flashing in his pupils—he had mastered the Devouring True Intent.
He opened his class panel, and the data on the True Intentcolumn also changed accordingly.
[True Intent: True Intent of Blood (Level 4 17%), True Intent of Thunder (Level 5 5%), Devouring True Intent(Level 1 1%)]
In the Snow Region, because Su Yu continuously used the True Intent of Blood and True Intent of Thunder, his understanding of both True Intents deepened continuously, and the levels of the two True Intents also improved slightly.
Whoosh!
With a thought from Su Yu, he urged the Devouring True Intent to condense an invisible shield in front of him.
The space around the shield was vaguely distorted, as if even space had been devoured.
However, Su Yu knew that this wasn't space being devoured, but an illusion caused by partial light being devoured.
"A bit interesting." Su Yu's lips curved slightly upward.
Now that the level of the Devouring True Intent was relatively low, the effect of devouring might not be obvious yet.
Once the level of the Devouring True Intent was raised, I'm afraid enemy attacks wouldn't even be able to get close.
No matter how many attacks came, they could all be devoured one by one.
"However, I don't have the inheritance for the Devouring True Intent, so my comprehension efficiency is still too low. I'll slowly comprehend it later when I have time." Su Yuthought to himself.
Grasping too much makes it hard to digest; since the Devouring True Intent had already been mastered, it could be put aside for now.
You must know that the gap between having it and not having it was still very large. Since he already had it now, increasing the True Intent level wasn't that urgent.
After all, as long as the attack means were strong enough, defensive means wouldn't have much use.
"Next, I will concentrate on comprehending the True Intent of Thunder." A sharp glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
Although he had the inheritances of both the True Intent of Blood and True Intent of Thunder at the same time, his comprehension efficiency for the latter was higher.
That is to say, under the condition of spending the same amount of time, the level of his True Intent of Thunderwould be higher.
The higher the True Intent level, the greater the difficulty of upgrading it, and of course, the power would also increase significantly.
Therefore, if he wanted to quickly enhance his combat power, it was best to focus on the True Intent that suited him best and then elevate it to the peak of level ten.
After all, if his energy was dispersed, although he would master more True Intents, the level of each True Intentwouldn't be very high.
If the True Intent of Thunder was raised to the peak of level ten, even ten level-nine True Intents combined might not compare to it.
Swish!
With a thought from Su Yu, he took out the True Intent of Thunder inheritance booklet from his backpack, and taking advantage of the fact that the duration of the three enlightenment pointss had not ended yet, he began to earnestly comprehend it.
Several hours later.
Su Yu stopped comprehending the True Intent of Thunder, consumed 80 years of lifespan, and started the matching for the Gold-grade Heavens Battlefield.
This time, in less than ten minutes again, he was the first to obtain 1000 points, becoming the winner of this trial.
To Su Yu, there was not much difference between the Gold-grade Heavens Battlefield and the Silver-tier All-Heavens Battlefield.
This time in the Gold-grade Heavens Battlefield, although he encountered a few fourth transition professionals, these people's True Intent levels were not high, with the highest being only level 2, and they were still destined to be instantly killed.
[Congratulations on obtaining intermediate soul liquid * 80.]
[Congratulations on obtaining reputation * 2000.]
[Congratulations on obtaining 40 rank points, still lacking 60 rank points to be promoted to the diamond-gradeHeavens Battlefield.]
Listening to the system prompt beside his ear, Su Yunodded with satisfaction.
Winning once in the Gold-grade Heavens Battlefield could only yield 40 rank points, which meant that at the Gold-grade Heavens Battlefield rank, he could obtain a total of 6000 points of reputation.
According to this progress, it would not be long before he gathered 30000 points of reputation.
Before long, Su Yu returned to the personal space of the Heavens Battlefield.
"Let's return to Yuhuang Mansion first, and come back tomorrow night to consecutively match two matches in the Gold-grade Heavens Battlefield." Su Yu thought to himself.
With a thought, he directly chose to leave this place.
A moment later, Su Yu returned to the teleportation plaza of Tianyuan City. Without stopping, he galloped straight toward Yuhuang Mansion.
Chapter 205: Conflict Battlefield!
In the blink of an eye, a little over four days flashed past.
On this day, Su Yu was in the pavilion of the front courtyard comprehending the True Intent of Thunder when suddenly a system notification rang in his ears.
[World Announcement: The first stage of the Main City Rivalry Event has officially ended. One hour from now, the second stage will officially begin. All winning-side main city players, please prepare.
In the second stage, all winning-side main city players will be automatically and randomly teleported into the Conflict Battlefield.
Each player starts with 1 point. After killing players from other main cities, you can obtain all the points on their body.
The Conflict Battlefield will last for eight hours, and the final ranking will be based on the points possessed by each main city. For those with the same points, the ranking will be based on the time of achievement.]
[Notice: Dying in the Conflict Battlefield will not incur any losses. In addition, players ranked in the top one hundred in personal points will also receive extra rewards. We wish everyone good results!]
As the world announcement rang out, an extra Conflict Battlefield channel appeared in the chat channel list of all winning-side main city players.
In an instant, the Conflict Battlefield channel was flooded with countless messages.
"The first stage of the Main City Rivalry Event has finally ended. There are so many people in this chat channel."
"You can only send one message per minute? This is way too few."
"I didn't expect the rules for the second stage of the Main City Rivalry Event to be so simple. According to these rules, aren't the players of the Holy Dragon Empire at an overwhelmingly huge advantage?"
"The sky is falling. Won't Yu Huang be able to go on a random killing spree here?"
"We must unite, otherwise we are simply no match for the players of the Holy Dragon Empire!"
"Everyone doesn't need to worry too much. No matter how strong Yu Huang's strength is, how many people can he kill in eight hours?"
"That's right. Perhaps the area of the Conflict Battlefield is extremely large, and Yu Huang's strength advantage might not necessarily be able to be fully unleashed."
"Right, right, right. No matter how strong his strength is, traveling takes time after all. I feel that we still have a chance to make a comeback."
"Indeed, as long as we join forces to deal with the players of the Holy Dragon Empire, it's still hard to say who will have the last laugh."
"Charge, charge, charge! Follow our Holy Empire and eat nine meals in three days!"
...
"The second stage of the Main City Rivalry Event will start in one hour? It seems the speed is quite fast." The corners of Su Yu's mouth curled up slightly.
From the official start of the first stage of the Main City Rivalry Event until now, realistically only a little over six days had passed, less than seven days.
To be honest, this speed had already exceeded Su Yu's expectations.
Fortunately, his class third-transition quest did not require leaving the Initial Continent, otherwise he might have really missed the second stage of the Main City Rivalry Event.
"It seems I can head to the Endless Sea very soon." A trace of joy flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
Over these four days, he had already raised his rank in the Heavens Battlefield to diamond-grade 80 rank points.
As long as he went to match once more in the diamond-grade Heavens Battlefield at midnight, he could successfully promote to the Star Grade Heavens Battlefield and complete his class third-transition quest.
After promoting to a third-transition class holder, he could use the Endless Sea Token to head to the Endless Sea.
The Blood God Trial III and Shadow God Archeradvancement quest second stage would also soon have hope of completion.
"Without any accidents, the first place in the Civilization Arena next will undoubtedly be mine!" Thick confidence flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
During these four-plus days, apart from matching in the Heavens Battlefield and taking brief rests, almost all other time was spent comprehending the True Intent of Thunder.
Under the blessing of his level 2.98 soul level and enlightenment pointss, his True Intent of Thunder had been raised to the realm of level 6, 51%.
The higher the True Intent level, the more skyrocketing the difficulty of improvement was.
Although compared to four-plus days ago, the level of the True Intent of Thunder had only increased by a little over 1 level, Su Yu's strength had skyrocketed by at least several times.
The current him could effortlessly suppress his previous self.
This was the dimensional reduction strike brought by the True Intent level!
Right now, there was still over a month until the opening of the Civilization Arena.
With such a long time, Su Yu felt that even if he raised the True Intent of Thunder level to above level 8, it would be completely normal.
Don't look at it as just an increase of a little over one level, but the difficulty of improvement was several times harder than the previous levels one through six.
Of course, the enhancement to combat power was also immense, at least allowing Su Yu's strength to be dozens of times stronger than now!
The further back the True Intent level went, even if it only increased by 1%, it would bring a not-insignificant enhancement to his own combat power.
Very quickly, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
A system notification rang in Su Yu's ears.
[World Announcement: The second stage of the Main City Rivalry Event has officially begun. You will soon be teleported to the Conflict Battlefield. All winning-side main city players, please prepare.]
The next instant, countless white lights descended from the sky, and instantly nearly half of the players on the entire Initial Continent disappeared.
...
Hum!
Su Yu only felt his vision blur, and the next instant he found himself arriving on an island.
"Just which corner did they throw me into?" Su Yu was somewhat dumbfounded.
He looked around. Under the blessing of the Blood Gods Eye, his eyesight was extremely good, and he quickly discovered a dozen or so nearby players.
Under the prompt of the Conflict Battlefield rules, every player had their own country and main city name above their head.
"If I didn't have a flight skill, wouldn't I be trapped here all the time?" Su Yu had some doubts in his heart.
He seriously suspected that the system was targeting him to prevent him from going on a random killing spree.
However, even if they threw him on this remote island, it didn't make much sense. With his movement speed, wanting to find the main forces was still very easy.
Just as countless thoughts were swirling in Su Yu's mind, several figures sped towards him.
"Hahaha, everyone join forces to kill this Holy Dragon Empire player."
"Everyone be careful, the players of the Holy Dragon Empire have extra free attribute point and experience value bonuses, and every single one of them is not weak in strength."
"Rest assured, I am a king-tier talent after all. Killing across ranks is a piece of cake."
Swoosh!
Seeing this, Su Yu instantly spread the Thunder Wingsbehind his back, and the Lightning Domain completely enveloped the dozen or so nearby players.
Crackle!
Lightning flashed past, and these dozen or so players didn't even know what had happened before simultaneously transforming into white light and disappearing from where they stood.
[Congratulations on killing a player and obtaining 1 point.]
[Congratulations...]
One system notification after another rang in Su Yu's ears, but he turned a deaf ear to them, directly transforming into a streak of lightning that soared straight up into the sky.
Chapter 206: Seas! Archipelagos!
Before long, Su Yu arrived at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.
Beneath his feet were densely packed islands; the large ones spanned hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, while the small ones could barely hold a few hundred people.
The archipelagos were easily separated by tens to hundreds of kilometers, and looking out, there was no end in sight.
The island directly beneath him was not very large, covering less than one thousand square kilometers.
Among all the islands he could currently see, it could only rank near the bottom.
"The area of this Conflict Battlefield is simply too massive; I'm afraid it's not much smaller than the Initial Continent." Su Yu sighed inwardly.
Although the land area in the Conflict Battlefield fell far short of the Initial Continent, it was hard to say once the sea area was included.
Su Yu strongly suspected that this layout of the Conflict Battlefield was designed precisely to prevent him from slaughtering wildly and disrupting the balance.
After all, if everyone were dropped onto a single continent, Su Yu would probably be able to sweep them all away in no time.
Now, this combination of seas and islands could drastically reduce Su Yu's slaughter efficiency.
After all, crossing multiple islands required a considerable amount of time.
Of course, it was also possible that the original design intention was to avoid cross-island battles among players as much as possible.
Under normal circumstances, if one relied on swimming over a distance of dozens of kilometers, by the time they swam across, the second phase would probably be over.
It was just that the system hadn't expected the existence of someone like Su Yu who was basically cheating.
Not only had he mastered a flight method, but his movement speed even exceeded three times the speed of sound.
A distance of tens to hundreds of kilometers was nothing at all to him; he could reach it in just tens to hundreds of seconds.
"No rush, let's sweep through the islands one by one."
"The further it goes, the more concentrated the points will be, and harvesting them then will be even easier." The corners of Su Yu's mouth curled up slightly.
With a thought, he opened the Conflict Battlefield panel, which featured two leaderboards.
One was the Main City Points Leaderboard, and the other was the Personal Points Leaderboard.
Su Yu opened the Main City Points Leaderboard, and all the main cities were displayed on it.
It was worth noting that the points displayed were additionally acquired points; each player's initial points were not factored into them.
[Rank 1: Shenghui City (Holy Empire): 1.05 million points.]
[Rank 2: Blazing Sword City (Holy Dragon Empire): 1.02 million points.]
[Rank 3: Ice City (Polar Bear Empire): 980,000 points.]
[Rank 4: Golden City (Sunset Kingdom): 960,000 points.]
...
[Rank 8: Tianyuan City (Holy Dragon Empire): 820,000 points.]
...
"Only eighth place?" Su Yu raised an eyebrow.
Although he hadn't exerted himself yet, Tianyuan Citycurrently had a full hundred thousand-plus Second-Turn players, and he hadn't expected it to only rank eighth.
It seemed that players from other countries were indeed joining forces to target the players of the Holy Dragon Empire.
Although a hundred thousand-plus Second-Turn players sounded like a lot, facing the combined forces of players from other countries, it was still difficult to contend against them.
You must know that even among Second-Turn players, those with high-tier talents definitely far surpassed those with low-tier talents in combat power.
Facing the latter, the former could easily take on a hundred or even a thousand single-handedly.
Needless to say for someone like Su Yu, he could kill as many as came.
"You guys go ahead and play slowly; I'll come back to harvest you later." A sharp gleam flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
He estimated that the top-ranked main cities currently all had top-tier players on those massive islands spanning hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.
There were more players on the massive islands, so the speed of acquiring points was definitely faster.
However, to him, falling behind in the short term was nothing at all.
In fact, the more points they acquired, the better; anyway, in the end, it would all benefit him.
Swish!
Su Yu memorized the distribution map of the islands before him, then sprinted toward the island beneath him.
He had already planned out an optimal route for himself.
The ultimate destination of this route was those massive islands spanning hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in the extremely distant distance.
Soon, Su Yu hovered several hundred meters above the island.
He expanded the radius of his Lightning Domain to the extreme, and in an instant, players within a radius of twenty kilometers all turned into white light and vanished on the spot.
[Congratulations on killing a player, obtained 4 points.]
[Congratulations on killing a player, obtained 2 points.]
[Congratulations on killing a player, obtained 7 points.]
...
System prompt sounds rang out frantically in Su Yu's ears, but he turned a deaf ear and concentrated on sweeping through the entire island.
The area of this island was not large, only less than one thousand square kilometers.
In just over a minute, Su Yu swept the entire island clean, leaving behind fewer than one hundred players from Tianyuan City.
In the Conflict Battlefield, players from the same main city could not inflict damage on each other, protected by the power of rules.
Immediately afterward, Su Yu sprinted toward the next island on his planned route.
...
On a massive island extremely far away from Su Yu,
at this moment, the sounds of battle shook the heavens on the island.
"Surround them! Don't let them run!"
"Hahaha, with Yu Huang not around, the players of Tianyuan City are just a flock of fat sheep!"
"Kill! The players of Tianyuan City are all not weak and have harvested quite a few points; killing one of them is worth killing ten players from other main cities!"
Countless players from other countries united with great tacit understanding, frantically surrounding and slaughtering the players of the Holy Dragon Empire.
Thanks to the extra benefits brought by Su Yu, the players of the Holy Dragon Empire generally developed better.
However, ants could bite an elephant to death, coupled with the absolute advantage that high-tier talent players had over low-tier talent players.
The players of the Holy Dragon Empire were also constantly decreasing.
The point counts of all main cities were also constantly changing, with some increasing and some decreasing.
...
On another massive island,
"Hahaha, it seems this time's first place belongs exclusively to Shenghui City." Israel laughed heartily.
His class was Beast Summoner, and under the blessing of his God-tier Talent, every summoned creature could display extremely strong strength.
It was very suitable for this melee mode.
Each of his summoned creatures would follow a team from the Holy Empire to participate in surrounding and killing players from other main cities.
This caused the number of points he acquired to soar as well.
...
Time flowed on, and soon two hours had passed.
Looking at the information on the Main City Leaderboard, Su Yu furrowed his brows slightly.
He hadn't expected that under his frantic sweeping, Tianyuan City's rank would actually be even lower, having now dropped to 11th place.
"It seems the player density on those massive islands is even higher than I imagined." Su Yu thought to himself.
He had already cleared out dozens of islands, but despite that, it still hadn't stopped the downward trend of Tianyuan City's ranking.
Judging from the area, the combined area of the islands he had swept exceeded one million square kilometers.
Yet his personal points ranking had only just reached third place, with the top two being Israel from Shenghui City and Sword Slashes Galaxy from Blazing Sword City.
"There are at least over a billion players who entered the Conflict Battlefield, and I've only acquired twenty-plus million points; isn't this targeting me a bit too much?" Su Yushook his head helplessly.
He estimated that the players on those massive islands made up at least a large majority combined.
Otherwise, Israel and Sword Slashes Galaxy couldn't possibly be ranked ahead of him.
"Next, I'll change my strategy and head straight for the massive islands!"
"As for the islands encountered along the way, I'll just sweep them casually on the side; there's no need to sweep entire islands anymore." Su Yu quickly made his decision.
Chapter 207: Giant Island!
Above the sea, Su Yu was hurrying on his way at full speed.
Ever since he adjusted his strategy, his efficiency in acquiring points had also experienced a cliff-like drop.
As time passed, Tianyuan City's ranking continued to fall, sliding all the way from 11th to 17th place.
His personal ranking also dropped from 3rd to 5th place.
He opened the Conflict Battlefield chat channel and found that the speed at which messages were flooding the screen was getting slower and slower.
This meant that there were fewer and fewer players left in the entire Conflict Battlefield.
Suddenly, his brow furrowed slightly as he saw a few messages sent by players from the Holy Dragon Empire.
"Help! Players from other countries are frantically surrounding and killing players from our Holy Dragon Empire!"
"Brothers, hold on, Big Boss Yu Huang is definitely on his way!"
"Ah, the core members of the Crimson Flame Guild were surrounded and killed by Israel from the Holy Empire along with his people; not a single one escaped!"
"Big Boss Yu Huang, where are you? Tianyuan City is about to be breached!"
Su Yu opened the main city leaderboard, and Tianyuan City's rank had dropped by another two spots, coming in at 19th.
The Crimson Flame Guild was Tianyuan City's top guild. Now that more than half of the Conflict Battlefield's duration had passed, every core member carried quite a lot of points.
This wave of total annihilation directly reduced Tianyuan City's points by a huge margin.
"Heh, your good days are coming to an end." A cold sneer curled the corner of Su Yu's mouth.
Right now, he was less than five minutes away from the nearest giant island.
Soon, he would let everyone know that Tianyuan City was not so easy to bully.
All the points they had swallowed up must be returned with interest!
...
On the giant island.
Over a dozen players from the Holy Empire were relentlessly pursuing and beating several players from Tianyuan City.
"What are you running for? Obediently hand over your points!"
"Keep running. The coastline is right ahead; let's see how you run."
"Hahaha, you can't run away. Your doom is right around the corner!"
Several Tianyuan City players looked at the coastline not far away, a hint of bitterness welling up at the corners of their mouths.
Having managed to persist for over four hours, were they still going to be eliminated in the end?
"It's over... There's no escaping this time." An Archer gritted his teeth, his heart filled with reluctance.
Just at this moment, he suddenly vaguely heard the sound of roaring thunder.
Following the sound, he raised his head and saw a dazzling purple lightning streak tearing through the air at a terrifying speed from the end of the horizon, hurtling toward them.
The Archer's pupils shrank violently. As if electrocuted, he pointed at the sky and trembled all over, saying, "Is that... is that Big Boss Yu Huang?"
"What?"
"Big Boss Yu Huang?"
The other Tianyuan City players looked over in the direction he pointed.
"Holy shit, it really is Big Boss Yu Huang!"
"That's right, this is Big Boss Yu Huang's iconic flying skill!"
"We're saved!"
"Hahaha, I knew Big Boss Yu Huang wouldn't just ignore us."
Everyone was pumped up as if injected with chicken blood, their nearly collapsing morale instantly maxed out.
From afar, Su Yu saw the rule prompts hovering above the heads of those dozen or so Holy Empire players.
Swish!
With a thought, he instantly expanded the radius of his Lightning Domain to the extreme.
Crackle!
In a split second, those dozen or so Holy Empire players simultaneously turned into white light and disappeared.
[Congratulations on killing a player. You have obtained 2,727 points.]
[Congratulations on killing a player. You have obtained 2,558 points.]
[Congratulations on killing a player. You have obtained 3,291 points.]
...
System prompt sounds rang out one after another in Su Yu's ears.
"As expected of players on a giant island, even the one with the fewest points has over two thousand." Su Yu's lips curled up slightly.
It seemed he had come to the right giant island; the harvest was far greater than what he got previously on those small islands.
Killing one person here was roughly equivalent to killing over a dozen people before.
Swish!
Without any delay, Su Yu directly sped toward the depths of the giant island.
Once he swept through this giant island, both he and Tianyuan City should be able to directly reach the number one spot.
"Thank you, Big Boss Yu Huang!"
"Big Boss Yu Huang is awesome!"
The few Tianyuan City players were so excited their voices were shaking; they hadn't expected the situation to reverse so quickly.
...
Along the way, Su Yu found that there were very few Holy Dragon Empire players on this giant island.
Basically, most of them had been killed by the Holy Empirein alliance with players from other countries.
When he occasionally saw a few Holy Dragon Empireplayers, they were hiding in extremely covert places.
If he didn't have Blood Gods Eye, it wouldn't be easy to discover these Holy Dragon Empire players.
As for the Holy Dragon Empire players, Su Yu didn't attack them. Anyway, he didn't lack these people's points.
His focus was on harvesting the points of that group of foreign players.
To Su Yu, the Holy Dragon Empire players could all switch sides and come to Tianyuan City in the future.
He would soon become the Vice City Lord of Tianyuan City; the stronger Tianyuan City was, the more benefits he would reap.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the giant island.
Deep inside a canyon, a full hundred or so Tianyuan Cityplayers were hiding.
Chu Bawang, the leader of the Overlord Guild, sat on a rock with his brow tightly furrowed.
"Scouts report that Israel from the Holy Empire has brought at least fifty people and is flanking us from the east."
An Assassin player ran back panting, his voice lowered to a minimum.
"And to the west, Rex from the Sunset Kingdom has also brought hundreds of people over. In ten minutes at most, they'll block off all our retreat routes."
"Son of a bitch..." someone cursed in a low voice.
In the crowd, Wang Meng tightly gripped the broadsword in his hand and gritted his teeth, saying, "Since we can't hide, let's fight them to the death."
"I believe Big Boss Yu Huang will avenge us!"
Chu Bawang was silent for a few seconds, then also stood up.
"Brother Wang Meng from the Heavenly Blade Alliance is right. Since there's no retreat left, let's fight them to the death."
"Big Boss Yu Huang was probably randomly teleported to a place with fewer people, but I believe that in the end, he will definitely lead Tianyuan City in a counterattack!"
He looked around, his gaze sweeping across every face.
"My Overlord Guild is, after all, Tianyuan City's second guild. The Crimson Flame Guild was wiped out, so next, I will take the lead to Charge!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Screw them!"
"Big Boss Yu Huang will avenge us!"
The hundreds of people present instantly boiled with excitement.
They were hiding here to preserve Tianyuan City's points as much as possible.
But now that there was nowhere left to escape, they might as well burn their boats; eliminating even one more of the enemy's people would be a good thing!
Chapter 208: Points Skyrocket!
Inside the canyon, Chu Bawang suddenly produced a giant battle axe and shouted angrily.
"Everyone, listen to my arrangement! Break through towards the west!"
"Israel's strength is too strong; the east is a dead end!"
"Although Rex's strength is not weak, compared to Israel, he is still far behind."
"Most importantly—" Chu Bawang slammed the giant battle axe onto the ground, "My strength is not weaker than his!"
"Kill!"
Hundreds of Tianyuan City players poured out of the canyon like a tidal wave, executing a wild Charge towards the west.
A few minutes later, west of the canyon.
Rex of the Sunset Kingdom led over a hundred players, steadily advancing towards the depths of the canyon.
Suddenly, dust flew ahead, and battle cries shook the heavens.
"Huh? They actually dare to Charge out on their own initiative?" Rex raised an eyebrow, then sneered, "A bunch of cornered beasts, still trying to struggle?"
He waved his hand, and the hundreds of players behind him immediately formed ranks to meet them.
Boom!
Two torrents violently collided with each other.
Chu Bawang took the lead, his battle axe sweeping horizontally, and the violent force directly sent two shield-wielding Sunset Kingdom players flying with a slash.
"Kill!" Holding a pitch-black spear, Rex cut through the crowd and charged at Chu Bawang.
Chu Bawang's strength was not weak; aside from him, no one present could directly block Chu Bawang's attacks.
The two instantly clashed in a chaotic battle, axe light and spear radiance intersecting, causing surrounding trees to collapse in large swathes.
The players from both sides were also locked in a frantic battle, but it was obvious that Tianyuan City's fighting spirit was much fiercer—they no longer had a way out.
Trading one for one was a victory, and trading one for two would be a massive profit.
As the battle progressed, white lights flashed continuously.
Weaker players from both sides were successively eliminated in the melee, but relying on a desperate momentum, Tianyuan City faintly suppressed the Sunset Kingdom.
Just at this moment, a loud laugh rang in everyone's ears.
"Hahaha! I've finally caught you, surround them all!"
From the east, Israel arrived with dozens of Holy Empireplayers, completely cutting off the retreat path of the Tianyuan City players.
Caught in a pincer attack from front and back, with nowhere to escape!
The morale of the Tianyuan City players instantly plummeted to rock bottom.
"It's over, Israel is here too."
"Both front and back are blocked, there's no hope of breaking through at all."
Seeing this, Rex withdrew his spear, took half a step back using the momentum, and signaled the Sunset Kingdomplayers to stop.
Since Israel had already arrived, the rest would be left to him.
After all, the points on the Tianyuan City players had long been regarded by Israel as being in the bag.
If Israel hadn't arrived, that would be one thing, but since he was here now, the points on these players naturally all had to be handed over to him.
The players from both sides slowly stopped, retreated, and kept their distance from each other.
The Sunset Kingdom players converged with the Holy Empire players brought by Israel, tightly surrounding the Tianyuan City players.
Israel slowly walked out, crossing his arms with a playful smile at the corners of his mouth.
"You Tianyuan City players are nothing more than a hollow shell propped up by Yu Huang."
"So what if Yu Huang is strong? The Conflict Battlefield is so huge; can he save all of you by himself?"
"Be obedient and hand over your points; don't make any more pointless struggles."
Chu Bawang fell silent for a fraction of a second, then sneered, "Israel, just you wait, Big Boss Yu Huang will—"
"Will what?" Israel interrupted him, laughing even more recklessly.
"Right now, he's probably killing small fry in some unknown corner. I'm afraid that even when the Conflict Battlefield ends, he might not make it in time."
"If you're counting on him, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
Hearing this, the players of the Holy Empire and Sunset Kingdom burst into laughter.
Despair spread among the Tianyuan City players.
Wang Meng gritted his teeth so hard they nearly cracked, the veins on his knife-gripping hand bulging, yet he was powerless to change anything. The strength gap between the two sides was simply too immense.
Chu Bawang gripped the giant battle axe tightly and said word by word, "Cut the crap. If you want to do it, do it now. I believe Big Boss Yu Huang will avenge us!"
Israel sneered, "You people are truly too naive."
"Since you're so eager to court death, I'll send you—"
Before he could finish speaking.
At the edge of the horizon, a dazzling purple lightning bolt suddenly tore through the clouds, and a terrifying roar of thunder rang in everyone's ears, making their eardrums ache faintly.
In an instant!
A figure glowing all over with lightning appeared in everyone's line of sight.
"Oh?"
"Sending us what? Points?"
Su Yu's calm and slightly playful voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"It's Big Boss Yu Huang!"
"Hahaha, Big Boss Yu Huang is here. The doom of you lot has arrived."
"We're safe, we're safe. Look at Israel's expression, it's simply too wonderful."
"Awesome, now you guys are the ones surrounded by Big Boss Yu Huang."
The remaining hundred-plus players of Tianyuan Cityinstantly boiled over, feeling as though they had gone straight from hell to heaven.
Israel's smile froze on his face as he stared in disbelief at the figure in the sky.
He hadn't expected Yu Huang to actually cross the Endless Sea and arrive at their giant island.
Su Yu hovered in mid-air with purple lightning swirling around his body, looking down at the crowd below with a slight smile on his lips.
"Why aren't you talking anymore?"
"Since you aren't talking, then I'll send you to your deaths!"
As his voice fell, a Lightning Domain instantly expanded with Su Yu at its center.
Crackle!
Purple lightning descended like divine punishment, enveloping all the Holy Empire and Sunset Kingdomplayers present.
The next instant.
Israel, Rex, and the hundreds of players behind them simultaneously vanished into a sky full of white light.
[Congratulations on killing a player, you have obtained 45.12 million points.]
[Congratulations on killing a player, you have obtained 3.51 million points.]
[Congratulations on killing a player, you have obtained 120,000 points.]
System notifications rang in Su Yu's ears like a torrential downpour, so dense they almost merged into one continuous sound.
The entire battlefield fell completely silent within a single second.
Immediately afterward, wave after wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted.
"Big Boss Yu Huang!!!"
"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Important things are said three times!"
"Hahaha, as expected of Big Boss Yu Huang, a single strike results in an indiscriminate one-hit kill on everyone!"
"Whatever this or that is, anyway, it's all one-hit kills!"
Chu Bawang looked up at that purple figure, let out a long breath, and then laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, what did I tell you! Big Boss Yu Huang will definitely lead us to turn the tables!"
Wang Meng gripped the heavy blade in his hand tightly and roared hoarsely, "Big Boss Yu Huang is awesome! Wipe them out!"
Su Yu glanced down at them and nodded slightly.
"Time is tight, I'll be heading out first. After sweeping this giant island, I still need to head to the next giant island."
Whoosh!
Su Yu's figure transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, soaring into the sky and speeding toward the deeper depths of the giant island.
Chapter 209 Conflict Battlefield Ends!
Above the giant island.
Su Yu opened the personal leaderboard, and Israel's name had already disappeared from it.
Now his name proudly stood at the very top, and compared to Sword Slashes Galaxy, who ranked second, he had already pulled away by a massive distance.
"It seems that if you want to quickly acquire points, you still have to kill the powerhouses on the leaderboard." Su Yu's face was full of smiles.
Previously, he had painstakingly managed to get just over thirty million points, but in just that single moment just now, he had obtained a little over fifty million points.
Right now, his cumulative points had already exceeded eighty million, which was almost double that of the second-place Sword Slashes Galaxy.
Afterward, Su Yu opened the main city leaderboard.
At this moment, Tianyuan City's rank also directly skyrocketed from the teens to first place, surpassing the second-place Blazing Sword City by roughly more than ten million points.
"After sweeping this giant island, I estimate no one will be able to shake Tianyuan City's first-place position." Su Yuthought to himself.
Although most of the points were concentrated on the top-tier powerhouses, the points carried by all the mid-tier powerhouses added up to no small figure either.
The reason Tianyuan City's rank was so low before was mainly because its mid-tier powerhouses were targeted, leading to a large swath of them being eliminated.
Coupled with the fact that top-tier powerhouse Su Yu's points didn't have an absolute advantage.
But now, everything had reversed.
After killing Israel, his personal points already possessed an absolute advantage; even if the number of mid-tier powerhouses in Tianyuan City was relatively smaller, it was of no major consequence.
Soon, the time came to less than two hours before the end of the Conflict Battlefield.
"Let's head straight to the next giant island." Su Yu thought to himself.
The area of each giant island was extremely vast, reaching a full several hundred thousand square kilometers.
Even with Su Yu's movement speed, it would be difficult to sweep through the entire giant island in a short amount of time.
However, Su Yu had also noticed something: the Conflict Battlefield seemed to be consciously guiding players to encounter one another.
Teleportation arrays resembling traps frequently appeared on the ground, teleporting different players to close-by areas.
This was perhaps a unique mechanism of the giant islands.
Su Yu had been flying above the island; sometimes he clearly saw players not far away, but by the time he rushed over, the people had suddenly vanished.
Moreover, these teleportation arrays were one-time use. Even if Su Yu came to the location where they disappeared, he couldn't trigger the teleportation again.
To Su Yu, this mechanism had both pros and cons.
The good side was that if he encountered a player, it meant there were definitely quite a few players nearby.
The bad side was that as fewer and fewer players remained on the giant island, the probability of him encountering players was also getting lower and lower.
Finding a player gathering place wasn't easy.
Swish!
Su Yu transformed into a bolt of lightning that soared into the sky, speeding toward the next giant island in his memory.
He estimated that he could reach the next giant island in about an hour.
By then, after searching for players for another hour, he could conclude this trip to the Conflict Battlefield.
...
Time flowed, and in the blink of an eye, an hour flashed past.
"I've finally arrived." A smile curved the corners of Su Yu's mouth.
Along the way, he had also killed some foreign players, but as for the players from the Holy Dragon Empire, he hadn't made a move against any of them.
After all, the Holy Dragon Empire players who could persist until now generally didn't lack in strength.
There was no need for him to eliminate them just for these points.
Most importantly, even if he eliminated them, it wouldn't benefit him, so it was better to part on good terms and foster goodwill.
By killing foreign players, he could reduce the points of foreign main cities.
This was also disguisedly raising the rankings of the Holy Dragon Empire's main cities.
All players of the Holy Dragon Empire essentially enjoyed the benefits he brought.
The stronger the players of the Holy Dragon Empire were, the more indirect benefits Su Yu would also obtain.
After all, the stronger a player's strength, the stronger their ability to acquire wealth.
Even if other players of the Holy Dragon Empire didn't join Tianyuan City in the future, just by coming to Tianyuan Cityto trade, he could still earn a cut of the transaction tax from it.
All in all, the stronger the Holy Dragon Empire's players were, the more beneficial it was to him, with no downsides.
Su Yu transformed into a blinding bolt of lightning, streaking across the sky above the giant island.
Soon, he discovered the first batch of players on this giant island.
"It seems most of the players on this giant island have already been swept clean by the players of the Polar Bear Empire." Su Yu was thoughtful.
In his line of sight, there were a full dozen-plus players from the Polar Bear Empire, and the point numbers above each player's head were all greater than ten thousand.
Among them, the player with the most points had even exceeded one hundred thousand.
"Alright, time to get to work." Su Yu raised a smile.
The Polar Bear Empire's Frost City was currently ranked third, and the person with the most points among these dozen-plus players was none other than someone from Frost City.
It seemed the main members of Frost City were right on this giant island.
After all, if the main members weren't on the giant island, it would be nearly impossible for a main city to acquire so many points.
With a thought in Su Yu's mind, the Lightning Domaininstantly enshrouded the dozen-plus Polar Bear Empire players not far away.
Zzzzt!
Over a dozen bolts of lightning flashed, and everyone simultaneously turned into white light and dissipated.
[Congratulations on killing a player, you have obtained 110,000 points.]
[Congratulations on killing a player, you have obtained 15,211 points.]
[Congratulations on killing a player, you have obtained 18,789 points.]
...
System notification sounds rang out one after another in Su Yu's ears, but he turned a deaf ear to them and began searching around.
Generally speaking, in the late stages, wherever players appeared, there would inevitably be quite a few other players nearby.
This was specially formed under the guidance of the Conflict Battlefield.
Just like that, Su Yu began a crazy sweep on this giant island.
Roughly half an hour later, a system notification sound rang out in the ears of all survivors.
[World Announcement: The second stage of the Main City Rivalry Event has officially ended. All survivors are about to be teleported back to their main cities, please prepare in advance.
Congratulations to Tianyuan City of the Holy Dragon Empire for winning first place on the main city leaderboard. Special reward granted: All Tianyuan City players receive +300 Free Attribute Points and +50 Skill Points;
All Holy Dragon Empire players receive +100 Free Attribute Points and +20 Skill Points.]
As soon as the world announcement came out, players across the entire Holy Dragon Empire instantly boiled over with excitement.
"Holy crap, awesome, I got 100 Free Attribute Points and 20 Skill Points for free."
"Hahaha, I'm a Tianyuan City player, I got 400 Free Attribute Points and 70 Skill Points. This wave is totally epic."
"Thanks to Boss Yu Huang, Boss Yu Huang is simply too strong!"
"Brothers, hurry up and find an opportunity to join Tianyuan City. With Boss Yu Huang around, Tianyuan Citywill definitely have even more extra perks in the future."
Chapter 210 Talent Upgrade!
In the Conflict Battlefield.
"The comprehensive strength of Tianyuan City's players is even stronger now." Su Yu listened to the world announcement ringing in his ears and nodded in satisfaction.
For players at the current stage, 400 free attribute points and 70 skill points could vastly enhance their strength.
Although the hard gap in talents could not be smoothed over, in the short term, it was enough to narrow the strength gap between low-tier talent players and high-tier talent players.
Immediately afterward, another system prompt sounded in Su Yu's ears.
[Congratulations on winning first place on the Conflict Battlefield personal leaderboard. Special reward: reputation * 8000.]
"8,000 points of reputation?" A trace of joy flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
This reward was even more generous than he had imagined.
8,000 points of reputation were almost equivalent to a self-selected god-level resource.
Except for those extremely special god-level resources, the value of the vast majority of god-level resources was below 8,000 points of reputation.
Even god-grade talent flowers, which were extremely practical god-level resources, were only 5,000 points of reputation.
If exchanged for unpopular god-level resources similar to the Taoties Stomach, 8,000 points of reputation could even directly exchange for two or three pieces.
"It's settled. Once I go out, I can upgrade the Endless Growth talent to Level 2." Su Yu felt a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.
He was only six god-grade talent flowers away from upgrading the Endless Growth talent to Level 2.
In the past four days, he had matched twice in the Gold-grade Heavens Battlefield and twice in the Diamond-grade Heavens Battlefield, obtaining a total of 10,000 points of reputation.
Coupled with the 8,000 points of reputation he had just obtained, the reputation he currently possessed had already reached 30,700 points.
It was just enough to exchange for six god-grade talent flowers.
Swish!
Suddenly, a beam of white light descended from the sky, and Su Yu's figure instantly disappeared from within the Conflict Battlefield.
...
Hum!
Along with a distortion of space, Su Yu found that he had already arrived at the teleportation plaza of Tianyuan City.
Around him were thousands of other players from Tianyuan City; they were all players who had persisted to the end without being eliminated.
Su Yu swept his gaze across them, and many of them were familiar faces he had seen before in the Conflict Battlefield.
With a thought in his mind, he directly entered a stealth state.
His current popularity was simply too high; it was inappropriate for him to appear in such a crowded place.
"Bigshot Yu Huang is awesome!"
"Bigshot Yu Huang is forever the god in my heart!"
"Hahaha, I knew Bigshot Yu Huang would lead Tianyuan City to a counter-attack!"
"Yeah, so awesome, this wave is practically making a killing."
"70 skill points, that can max out a Common Grade skill for me."
"So sweet, with these 400 free attribute points, my output ability directly doubles!"
"I really don't know how Bigshot Yu Huang plays the game; how can he be so much stronger than us?"
"Perhaps this is the gap between humans and gods."
As soon as the numerous Tianyuan City players met, they began discussing excitedly.
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Su Yu smiled and shook his head, walking straight to the front of the teleportation array.
Hum!
He directly chose to enter the Heavens Battlefield, a beam of white light descended from the sky, and his figure instantly disappeared in place.
A moment later, Su Yu arrived at the personal space of the Heavens Battlefield.
"I wonder what changes will happen after the Endless Growth talent upgrades to Level 2." A trace of anticipation flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
With a thought, he directly opened the exchange store and immediately exchanged for six god-grade talent flowers.
[Congratulations on obtaining god-grade talent flower * 6.]
Without any hesitation, Su Yu directly used these six god-grade talent flowers.
[Endless Growth talent level upgraded, current level: Level 2.]
Hearing this, the corners of Su Yu's mouth curled into a smile; he had finally upgraded the Endless Growth talent to Level 2.
He impatiently opened his class panel to check the latest attributes of the Endless Growth talent.
[Lv2 Infinite Growth (Super-God Level Talent)]
[Effect 1: All your skills can break through the skill level upper limit; all your True Intents can break through the True Intent level upper limit.]
[Effect 2: Every time you kill a monster not lower than your own level, you can obtain 3 skill points.]
[Effect 3: You can convert 1,000 skill points into enlightenment pointss without consumption.]
[Remark: Collecting Super-God Tier Talent Flowers can increase the talent level. Current number of Super-God Tier Talent Flowers required for upgrade: 2.]
"Hiss! The True Intent level can actually break through the upper limit too?" Looking at the latest attributes of the Infinite Growth talent, Su Yu couldn't help but gasp.
He hadn't expected that the True Intent level could also break through the level upper limit.
Once the True Intent level reached Level 11 or even Level 12, wouldn't it be able to rival the power of laws?
Xiaoyu had mentioned before that above True Intent was the law.
However, wanting to transform True Intent into a law was extremely difficult, and there were requirements for both the soul level and class tier.
At the very least, one had to advance to the fourth transition, condense the true core, and elevate the soul level above Level 20 before transforming True Intent into a law.
"Xiaoyu, are there any cases in the game database of breaking through the True Intent level upper limit?" Su Yuasked curiously.
A moment later, Xiaoyu's voice resounded in Su Yu's mind.
"Master, wanting to break through the True Intent level upper limit is extremely difficult."
"Only those class holders with extremely high compatibility with True Intent have the opportunity to break through the True Intent level upper limit."
"For instance, people possessing the Innate Fire Dao Body have extremely high compatibility with the True Intent of Fire. Under the condition of spending a large amount of time comprehending, they have the opportunity to elevate the True Intent of Fire to Level 11."
"As for going any higher, there are no records in the game database."
"A Level 11 True Intent can rival a newly initiated law. For class holders below the fifth transition, a Level 11 True Intent is definitely a dimensional reduction strike."
Su Yu nodded thoughtfully; it seemed that the True Intentlevel upper limit could indeed be broken.
He wondered if the Endless Growth talent could allow him to elevate the True Intent level above Level 11.
Of course, Su Yu felt that he might not necessarily have that much time to spend on breaking through the True Intent level upper limit.
After all, advancing to a fifth-transition class holder, condensing the true core, and simultaneously raising the soul level above Level 20 would allow True Intent to transform into a law.
No matter how strong True Intent was, it was only a weakened version of a law.
If True Intent could be transformed into a law, then naturally, laws should still be the mainstay.
Once he finished participating in the Civilization Arena, he could begin preparing to advance to a fourth transitionclass holder.
If nothing else delayed him in the middle, he estimated that he could quickly advance to a fifth-transition class holder and might not have that much time to spend on breaking through the True Intent level upper limit.
"I'll continue to comprehend the True Intent of Thunder. After matching the last Diamond-grade Heavens Battlefield in the early morning later, I can prepare to enter the Endless Sea." The corners of Su Yu's mouth curved into a smile.
He was quite looking forward to this trip to the Endless Sea; after all, the Blood God Trial III and the second stage of the Shadow God Archer advancement quest would both be completed here.
