Cultivation: But Not a Game

Chapter 713: Chapter 390: Profound Immortal-Tier Celestial Ghost Transformation Skill

Soon after, Su Yu traversed billions of kilometers to arrive in the territory of the Wood Race, at an archipelago called Fufeng.

This island is ten times the size of Blue Mountain, divided into two main lands, east and west.

The civilization of the Wood Race is not about plants gaining sentience, but rather a racial talent inherently skilled in wood element magic and divine techniques, being extremely close to plants and highly talented in cultivating spirit plants.

The places where they live have especially lush forests, and the buildings within the cities are mostly made of wood, full of natural aura.

Those unfamiliar might think the Wood Race is only proficient in wood magic upon hearing the name, but this is not the case.

They are simply remarkably skilled in wood element magic; in other five elements and compared with other races, they are not much different, having many cultivators skilled in other areas, including sword cultivation and body refining, not just singularity.

Other races are similar, like the Fire Race; they are also of flesh and blood, just adept in fire magic, but can perform other types too.

The Half-Spirit People resemble humans greatly, appearing almost identical to them under normal circumstances, changing form only in combat state.

The so-called spirits refer to sprites born and nourished by nature, inherently possessing certain special talents.

The creation principle of Half-Spirit People involves refining the talents of countless sprites into the bloodline of the Human Race, thus possessing these sprite talents.

They look exactly like humans usually, transforming into a half-human, half-spirit state upon activating their talents in battle, with stronger beings more fully spirit; after becoming immortal, they become complete sprite spirits.

Subject to sprite talents, they excel only in talent-related systems, having almost no abilities outside those talents.

For example, if a Half-Spirit Person’s talent is water spirit, they only excel in water magic and divine techniques, able to perform some other magic when less spirit-transformed in early stages, but in later stages when totally spirit-transformed, becoming pure water sprite immortal, they cannot use any other magic.

Pure, powerful, but singular.

Fufeng Island is located at the border between the Wood Race and the Half-Spirit People, being one of the first places to be invaded.

After arriving, Su Yu concealed his presence and wandered, witnessing a world engulfed in war fires and constant death of billions of beings, extremely chaotic.

He hovered over a mighty river, over a hundred miles wide, with the Half-Spirit People attacking from the southern side; the skies above the river hosted no fewer than ten thousand flying ships of various sizes, including over a dozen large floating warships, with tens of millions of Half-Spirit People gathered.

The Wood Race was on the northern side, with even more gathered players, at least two to three hundred million.

The attacking side had far fewer numbers, but the average level of the Half-Spirit People players was higher.

Both sides engaged in fierce combat along this river.

Countless flying swords and treasures streaked across the sky while colorful Five Elements Skills erupted like fireworks, with hundreds or thousands of players falling every moment.

Half-Spirit players who perished resurrected in one of the floating warships, reentering the battlefield immediately after recovery.

Wood Race players resurrected in a city on the northern bank or in several towns along the river, quickly returning to the battle as well.

"Bloody, grinding, cruel."

This was Su Yu’s conclusion after observing for an hour after flying over.

This was not internal PK; there was no forcefulness; if you couldn’t handle it, you could lurk at the revival point.

Nor was it like the local war when Su Yu expelled the Horned Demon People and Fire Race Six-Eared People on the Fallen Star Islands, where even under the strictest conditions, one could choose to leave the battlefield after dying three times without blame.

This was a full-scale battlefield, with no option to surrender, no pause button; a full-scale battle only ended when one civilization was destroyed.

No one in such a battlefield had a way out, and all had to fight to the death.

"Boom!"

Tens of thousands of Divine Thunder Towers on a floating warship erupted together, instantly engulfing a level 228 Golden Core Wood Race.

Su Yu glanced over, seeing a streak of invisible sword light shoot into the flames. His keen eyesight pierced the flames, observing the Golden Core Wood Race’s Protective Treasure distort violently as the invisible sword light pierced through the treasure light, swiftly turning the remainder of the flame to ash.

This invisible, weightless sword light was incredibly fast, hardly detectable in the chaotic battlefield, adept at taking advantage of the situation, and within moments had already ambushed and instantly killed four Wood Race Golden Core cultivators.

However, while ambushing a fifth Golden Core Wood cultivator, this one practiced dual cultivation of body and techniques; after his treasure burst, his powerful body withstood the ambush, discovering the assailing invisible sword.

Communicating internally briefly, a Wood Race Golden Core adept in curse killing locked onto the target, killing them across the distance using a curse killing technique.

The Half-Spirit side also sensed the threat of the curse killer; a sprite adept in concealment sneaked up quietly from behind, ambush-killing the Wood Race Golden Core who excelled in curse killing.

However, the Wood Race had numerous experts; as soon as the ambush was successful, three Celestial Immortals made moves to secure the assailant.

When the Half-Spirit side saw this, they immediately sent reinforcements; both sides’ Celestial Immortal-level experts thus joined the battle, unleashing terrifying celestial-level magic and divine techniques, instantly making the battle even more chaotic and brutal.

Bear in mind, in Su Yu’s past encounters, even during the conflicts on Fallen Star Island, experts would not engage lower-level opponents before determining a victor; he had never seen immortals ambush weaker opponents.

Yet, in full-scale wars, these rules don’t apply; higher-level beings ambush lower-level beings, Celestial Immortals slaughtering mortals without reproach.

Generally, both sides have experts of equivalent ranks, with everyone tacitly agreeing to soldiers fighting soldiers, and kings combating kings.

But if the opposite side lacks experts, then there’s no need for apologies.
