Chapter 508: 507, Battle of Tsushima Island and Busan (I) Five Elements Sky Thunder Technique, Su Yu Special Edition Monster Group_1
Elder Yang channeled the primordial energy of the heavens and earth, and thunderclouds coalesced above the heads of the monster horde.
The monsters, while not very intelligent, sensed danger, their countless eyes gazing fearfully at the threatening thunderclouds overhead.
Crack! Crack!
Columns of white, green, black, red, and yellow thunder, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, descended from the clouds, ruthlessly striking the densest area of the monster horde.
These monsters mostly specialized in physical defense and were unable to withstand the Five Elements Thunder Magic, which was composed of pure spiritual energy.
As the thunder columns landed, more than 40 monsters within the thunder columns’ range were reduced to ashes without even letting out a scream.
What was even more terrifying was that this was not the end, but just the beginning.
After the first thunder column fell, the second one was already forming in the clouds.
“Scatter! Scatter quickly!”
Commander Langqi of the Skuru Expeditionary Army frantically maneuvered the monster horde to disperse.
But the second thunder column had already fallen.
The five-colored thunder column once again descended, and over forty monsters evaporated in an instant.
Elder Yang did not pause, and the preparation for the third thunder column had already begun.
…
This “Five Elements Divine Thunder” was a spell unique to Blue Star cultivators.
After the Gold Pill Formation Period (fourth order), Blue Star cultivators had to withstand a Heaven Tribulation each time they broke through a major realm. Many cultivators died in frustration during these breakthroughs due to their magical weapons and spiritual power being depleted.
However, if they could successfully survive a Heaven Tribulation, it would also provide substantial benefits to the cultivator.
A Heaven Tribulation could help cultivators to refine their bodies and polish their internal spiritual power.
Because of these tribulations, Blue Star cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage and beyond were much stronger than Skuru cultivators or game players of the same level.
Moreover, cultivators could imitate the formidable power of Tribulations to create offensive spells. The “Five Elements Divine Thunder” was a spell created by imitating the five-colored Heavenly Tribulation during the Mahayana period. It was incredibly powerful and capable of inflicting widespread damage on a horde of monsters.
…
Elder Yang gathered all the spiritual power of the major cultivators, and the Heaven Tribulation wreaked havoc upon the monsters. The number of casualties among the monsters quickly reached hundreds and increased to two hundred within a minute.
Langqi was busy controlling the horde of monsters to spread out. But due to being in the ocean, the dispersed horde caused the water currents to become extremely unstable, creating a chaotic scene and completely destroying their original formation.
Emperor Manina the Thirteenth of the Raging Sun Empire sat beside Langqi, curiously watching the Blue Star cultivators in the holographic 3D projection of the battlefield.
“Are these the main force of the Blue Star?” Manina asked.
“In reply to His Majesty, yes,” Langqi managed to respond amidst his busyness. “Apart from Su Yu and his pet cat, there are a total of 21 high-ranking practitioners present, with one even having reached the peak of the sixth rank.”
“The peak of the sixth rank? The recovery rate of the Blue Star Humans is quite fast!” Manina mused and nodded his head, showing no signs of negative emotions like anger or resentment on his face.
Seeing His Majesty in what seemed like a good mood, Langqi breathed a sigh of relief and focused on managing the horde of monsters.
As the executive commander of the Skuru Expeditionary Army, Langqi indeed had real skills.
Under his control, the Five Elements Divine Thunder of the Blue Star cultivators could no longer cover many monsters, killing less than 20 each time.
If it continued like this by the time the battle commenced, the monster army would only suffer a loss of four or five hundred, which would not significantly impact the overall battle.
But just then, Langqi heard the voice of His Majesty Manina next to him: “Langqi, why don’t we let the ‘Su Yu Special Edition’ monsters deal with these spell-casting cultivators?”
What Manina referred to as the “Su Yu Special Edition” monsters was a group of flying monsters that had all their attribute points invested in “magic resistance.” These were specially prepared for their “old friend” Su Yu.
Watching the cultivators who kept hurling down the Five Elements Divine Thunder from afar, Manina had the idea to deploy this trump card early.
“But Your Majesty…” Langqi was somewhat confused. “This group of monsters has been well concealed, and the Blue Star Humans have not yet discovered them. If they launch a surprise attack once the battle starts, Su Yu will undoubtedly be killed in one shot! But if we use this trump card now, Su Yu might have a chance to prepare and escape using a teleportation spell.”
“No matter.” Manina revealed a cold smirk. “Killing Su Yu is one thing, but killing these Blue Star cultivators is also equally satisfying. Instead of letting Su Yu die easily, I would prefer him to watch his friends and family being killed off by us and descend into despair.”
“Alright, Your Majesty.”
Since His Majesty had said so, Langqi had no choice but to carry it out.
He gave the ‘Su Yu Special Edition’ monster horde the order to attack.
…
From Su Yu and the other cultivator’s perspective, over a hundred flying monsters suddenly broke the surface from the northwest of the monster horde.
These hundred-plus monsters bore some resemblance to bipedal wyverns from the game, but they had purple skin and bodies very much like giant anglerfish, which made them look quite peculiar.
Elder Yang didn’t think much of it, and hurled a Five Elements Divine Thunder at this group of monsters.
Unexpectedly, the group of monsters quickly converged, a faint purple shield rapidly solidifying around them.
The Divine Thunder struck the faint purple shield and was absorbed without causing any commotion, merely creating slight ripples on the shield.
The senior cultivators led by Elder Yang were taken aback, not expecting this group of monsters to withstand the damage from the Divine Thunder.
Elder Yang unleashed another Five Elements Divine Thunder.
However, just like the previous time, the Divine Thunder got soaked up upon contact with the faint purple shield, causing the shield to solidify even further amidst the heavenly thunder.
The senior cultivators then realized that they had encountered a problem.
This monster battalion was immune to spells.
Besides this monster battalion, Su Yu and the senior cultivators also realized another major issue – there were too many high-level monsters in the monster horde!
The Skuru people controlled 3,533 Spiritual Spring Eyes, amongst which there were 23 Giant Spring Eyes, 106 Large Spring Eyes, the remaining being Small Spring Eyes.
The monsters produced by the Giant Spring Eyes and the Large Spring Eyes were naturally different from those produced by the Small Spring Eyes.
The comprehensive power of the monsters produced by the Small Spring Eyes was at the peak of the fifth rank, while the Large Spring Eyes purely produced monsters at the sixth rank – middle tier sixth rank. All the monsters produced by the Giant Spring Eyes were at the peak of the sixth rank!
In other words, there were a total of 129 monsters of rank six and above in the monster horde, which were six times that of the Blue Star side!
And once you add in this group of monsters with incredible magic resistance (among which three are at the peak of the sixth rank and 15 at the sixth rank), Su Yu and the others suddenly felt a great surge of pressure upon them.
Su Yu quickly used his psychic power to communicate with all the major cultivators: “Everyone, no matter what happens, even if we are losing, please remember not to sacrifice yourselves in this battle!”
After receiving their affirmation, Su Yu again communicated with Cat Morning Star who was on his shoulder by psychic power: “Morning Star, you and Tina will be the main force to eliminate this group of magic-resistant monsters, get ready!”
After saying that, Su Yu took out a red game helmet from his necklace, and held it in the palm of his hand.
