Chapter 736: Chapter 396: Slaying the Serpent, Returning to the Divine Land (Part 2)
It was clear they were already aware of the upheaval outside. As soon as Su Yu entered, he activated the grand formation, unleashing an overwhelming force.
Behind Su Yu’s head, the Five-Color Divine Light soared into the sky to withstand the pressure. He brandished the Lightning Hammer, instantly consuming over 20 billion Mana. Over a hundred colossal bolts of destructive purple lightning erupted, precisely striking the strongest five Profound Immortal sea snakes and nearly eighty True Immortal sea snakes.
The top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Lightning Hammer, had a base power of 5 trillion plus 5000% magic damage.
Even Golden Immortals couldn’t withstand a single strike, let alone mere Profound Immortals.
A series of crackling explosions erupted, instantly annihilating dozens of powerful sea snakes on the spot.
The unimaginable might left the remaining sea snakes fleeing in terror. Su Yu raised his hammer high, as a streak of lightning shot into the sky and exploded on the dome, forming a terrifying ring of purple lightning. In an instant, the thundercloud expanded, covering a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers.
"Boom!"
A billion thunders descended, enveloping the entire world.
After the earth-shattering thunder, silence fell across the land.
All two thousand-plus Celestial Immortal-level sea snakes were annihilated, without exception.
But the sea snakes were not completely eradicated. This fragment of the primordial world had been transformed by the Sea Snake Race’s leader, the Serpent, into a breeding ground for their race, a vast world comparable to the Cyan Immortal Domain, populated by innumerable sea snakes.
Su Yu did not continue the slaughter; there were simply too many, and he couldn’t kill them all. He concealed his form and surveyed the entire world from the sky.
"This place isn’t bad."
It was indeed a fragment of the primordial world. While the Spiritual Qi might be somewhat less than during the ancient times, it didn’t feel significantly different.
It felt similar to the current Chaos Pearl, far stronger than most places in the Earth Immortal realm.
The entire primordial fragment lacked oceans, consisting entirely of land, but it had many large rivers and lakes. Within them were places of convergence for numerous Spirit Veins, some no less than the mighty Lishui River.
Su Yu spent over a hundred years traversing the entire primordial fragment. He discovered two super Spirit Veins of the eighth order suitable for Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation, seventy-seven top-tier Spirit Veins of the seventh order for Golden Immortal cultivation, and countless ones below the seventh order.
Moreover, the Innate Qi within this primordial fragment had not completely dissipated, making it an unimaginably precious place.
"To me, it’s somewhat dispensable, but for the Human Race, it’s a treasure."
Su Yu’s first thought wasn’t for personal use or for his family or descendants, but to use it for cultivating Human Race experts.
It wasn’t because he had the Chaos Pearl and didn’t need it, but because his cultivation had reached a point where his perspective differed from ordinary people.
He was already contemplating the matters of attaining the Dao in the future and needed to prepare in advance.
Having reached the pinnacle of the Profound Immortal stage, his physical body and mana were perfected, and his Primordial Spirit required no further action to achieve perfection soon. The laws were also not a concern; within the Chaos Realm’s thousands-fold time acceleration, a few million years would suffice for perfection.
With his accumulation and the assistance of the Yellow Court Classic, gathering the Five Qi in the chest and the Three Blossoms on top posed no difficulty.
Condensing the Metallic Nature was similarly without challenge.
The difficulty other Profound Immortals faced in condensing Metallic Nature was due to their insufficient foundation, hence the struggle.
Though they all achieved perfection of essence, energy, and spirit, their perfection was nowhere near Su Yu’s level.
Their perfection’s upper limit was only 100, whereas Su Yu’s was 10,000 or even 100,000. Such immense accumulation made condensing Metallic Nature much easier.
In essence, what appeared like an insurmountable chasm to other cultivators, the Golden Immortal stage posed no difficulty for Su Yu, who apprenticed under a Saint.
Once his cultivation reached the Golden Immortal stage, he could begin advancing the civilization wars.
The time required to cultivate from Golden Immortal to Daluo was unknown, but similarly, how long the Human Race would need to defeat all civilizations and reclaim their dominant destiny was also uncertain.
Su Yu had long devised a plan to advance both simultaneously.
While cultivating after reaching the Golden Immortal stage, he would initiate the civilization wars.
And the civilization war was certainly not something he could manage alone; he couldn’t possibly handle everything by himself. Especially when the Human Race displayed enough strength, other races would undoubtedly unite in response to the perceived threat. During such times, relying solely on himself would render him powerless.
Thus, his personal strength alone wasn’t enough; collective strength was essential.
The Human Race currently lacked neither destiny nor fortune; he had already addressed that early on. What they lacked were cultivation resources, particularly high-level cultivation resources.
Below the Golden Core stage, cultivation resources were abundant, still relying on battling monsters and gaining experience points through slaughter, supported by Heavenly Materials, Earthly Treasures, elixirs, and Spiritual Land.
Above the Golden Core stage, battling monsters had little effect. Besides relying on elixirs, abundant Spiritual Qi was needed for cultivation.
In essence, Spirit Veins were crucial. The more Spirit Veins there were, and the higher their rank, the more intermediate and top-level experts above the Immortal level could be cultivated.
In the territories currently occupied by the Human Race, the Spirit Veins already had owners, and their grades were not particularly high.
Take Blue Mountain, for example; the entire area only contained five or six fifth-order Spirit Veins, with not a single sixth-order one.
Other larger places might have more, but only to a limited extent.
And the most crucial point is that Spirit Veins above the sixth order are extremely rare.
According to Su Yu’s current knowledge, in the entire human civilization covering over forty islands, there are only a dozen sixth-order Spirit Veins and none of the seventh order.
Even in the Human Race’s main territory, the Divine Land, as well as the Fallen Star Islands, there are none.
Although the Fallen Star Islands once gave rise to a Star Master of the Golden Immortal level, the Star Master then did not cultivate through seventh-order Spirit Veins; he relied on the stellar forces of the Stellar Formation.
Donating this primordial fragment could significantly accelerate the enhancement of the Human Race’s top-tier strength, rapidly producing True Immortals, Profound Immortals, and even Golden Immortals.
"Let’s do it this way!"
