Cultivation: But Not a Game

Chapter 735: Chapter 396: Slaying the Serpent, Returning to the Divine Land

The response to the Sea Snake Clan Leader, Youshe, was a sword he couldn’t understand or perceive.

The Star Master stepped into the river of time, bypassing the Sea Snake Clan Leader’s senses, and appeared from an incomprehensible angle to deliver a strike.

He had no reaction, but the Treasure Pearl that protected him automatically rose, radiating billions of blue light, covering the sky. It was a top-grade defensive Spiritual Treasure comparable to the Cyan Cloud Cover, with immensely surprising defense.

Yet at this moment, he faced a Daluo Golden Immortal holding a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. The sword light was extremely fierce, and as it descended, the billions of blue light flickered and vanished.

The Star Master appeared above the Sea Snake Clan Leader’s head, expressionless, and swung down a second sword.

By this time, Youshe had already reacted, his body tense, and as a layer of green light surged up, the sword light fell silently into the green light and swept past the snake’s body.

It was like a knife cutting through butter, smoothly slicing the gigantic snake body, which was tens of thousands of kilometers long, in half.

"Hiss!"

Youshe cried out in pain:

"Daluo Golden Immortal?"

"Immortal Slaying Sword!"

His anger towards Su Yu vanished, and without hesitation, he activated his Primordial Spirit to flee, turning into a stream of light rushing skyward.

Su Yu’s thoughts moved, and Five-Color Divine Light arose above his head, but before he could act, the escaping Youshe Primordial Spirit suddenly stopped. A flash of sword light appeared in the seawater not far from the Primordial Spirit, forcing it to fly back and reenter the body.

"Blood Tide!"

The pupils of the snake’s upper half reignited with blood flames, and its mouth opened wide to bite at Su Yu with a super strong suction force engulfing thousands of kilometers.

A black light surged from above Su Yu’s head, sweeping over, causing the giant snake body to sway but remain unchanged.

"Huh?"

"It couldn’t be swept away?"

Su Yu was slightly surprised, quickly realizing it wasn’t Youshe who could withstand the Five-Color Divine Light, but rather a Grotto Heaven treasure containing a piece of primitive land within his mouth that prevented it from being swept away.

This Grotto Heaven treasure wasn’t just a spatial Spiritual Treasure; it contained a vast world equal to sweeping up a world as expansive as the Cyan Immortal Domain, something even Peacock Ming King Kongxuan couldn’t do.

However, this wasn’t a significant issue. He carried his hands behind him, and the Five-Color Divine Light soared skyward.

The strong suction couldn’t affect Su Yu, who was protected by the Five-Color Divine Light. He stood unmoving, coldly watching as the fourth sword suddenly appeared above Youshe, slicing off his meteor-like head, burning with blood flames.

Then, several swords swiftly chopped the Golden Immortal snake body into a dozen pieces, like effortlessly cutting meat on a chopping board.

The Five-Color Divine Light above Su Yu repeatedly swept up, collecting all parts of the snake body except the head.

Then, there was nothing more.

What else was needed?

A Daluo Golden Immortal paired with an Immortal Slaying Sword, killing a Golden Immortal leaves no room for resistance.

There wasn’t even a chance to struggle.

As for the snake head, he opened the Chaos Realm gate, and the Star Master forcibly stuffed it inside, then the two transformed into light and soared skyward, disappearing from the sea area.

Su Yu didn’t return to the Dragon Castle; instead, he sent a message to the four Xuanyue women and Ao Run who were still cooperating on the front lines, then returned directly to Celestial Pillar Mountain, using the teleportation array there to transmit to the hinterlands, joining Qingchan en route to the Divine Land.

Now that the Chaos Pearl had upgraded again, neither the Vast Sea nor the four Xuanyue women had any distance limits and could undertake missions far from him.

He didn’t rush his journey, deploying a team of subordinates to control the Flying Ship, while he entered the Chaos Realm to deal with Youshe.

By this time, the enormous snake head was thrown into chaos and repeatedly washed. The primitive land piece hidden in its throat had already been extracted—an acquired Spiritual Treasure, shaped like a cauldron, with the primitive land piece refined within. This treasure was similar to the Demon-Catching Pot, summoning powerful suction from the cauldron to draw enemies inside.

This treasure had been refined by Youshe. Su Yu took a look and handed the cauldron to the Vast Sea, where it was thrown into the center of the Chaos Pearl to be washed.

As the Chaos Pearl rose in rank to be akin to a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, all internal powers increased significantly. The chaos aura washed with much greater force than before.

Before, a Golden Immortal body would require tens of thousands of years to show any transformation. Now, not even ten thousand are necessary to wear away completely.

But it wasn’t the quickest. The fastest method was...

Su Yu took out the Immortal Trapping Sword and handed it to the Star Master:

"Completely refine it!"

The Star Master activated the Immortal Trapping Sword, slashing down with a burst of sword Qi that divided the snake head into two, passing through the Primordial Spirit, visibly wearing away the metal essence within Youshe’s Primordial Spirit.

The Immortal Trapping Sword specializes in killing, capable of eradicating metal essence, the ultimate counter to so-called immortal bodies and indestructible essences.

Previously, the twisted nest needed a thousand years to show noticeable change; now, it’s achieved with a single sword.

The Star Master swung the sword repeatedly, visibly dimming the metal essence within Youshe’s Primordial Spirit.

Ten swords, one hundred swords, two hundred swords, and finally, after the six hundred and seventeenth cut of Immortal Trapping Sword Qi, the last trace of metal essence within Youshe’s Primordial Spirit was eradicated, causing the Primordial Spirit to directly obliterate.

This was a direct eradication, so there were no metal essence spoils.

In the Chaos Realm, over a thousand years later, the remaining trace of metal essence from Youshe in the cauldron was also refined, signifying the complete death of the Sea Snake Clan Leader, leaving the Sea Snake Race without a future.

Su Yu refined the cauldron, taking it out and tossing it upward, rapidly enlarging it to hang in the air. A light gate appeared at the mouth of the cauldron, into which he jumped.

The space shifted, and he reappeared on an enormous square, surrounded by countless members of the Sea Snake Race staring fiercely.

Five Sea Snake Profound Immortals, seventy to eighty True Immortals, and over two thousand Celestial Immortals.
