Cultivation: But Not a Game

Chapter 490 - 326: Slaying the Sea Snake Demon Immortal Youyuan (Part 4)

The same was true for the snake skin, a poke with the finger made a hole.

Su Yu specifically communicated with Vast Sea to keep its skull intact. The Dragon Race would surely place a bounty on the higher-ups of the Sea Snake Race, and it could be claimed then.

Once Vast Sea finished cleaning up the battlefield, Su Yu stopped refining, stored both Vast Sea and Ao Run into the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, and then activated the Celestial Dao Divine Skill "Move the Stars and Shift the Constellations" to hide the existence of Vast Sea and Ao Run, before swimming towards the depths of the ocean in dragon form.

He needed to find another place to refine.

This place was located deep within the territory controlled by the Sea Snake Race, and with a Demon Immortal-level member dead here, it wouldn’t be long before a Sea Snake Demon Immortal came to investigate. Moreover, it wouldn’t be just one, there might even be a True Immortal Sea Snake coming to investigate.

If he stayed here and got caught, it would be over for him.

Having devoured Youyuan’s flesh and Primordial Spirit, he couldn’t temporarily return to human form without refining it first, so he could only hide for now.

Fortunately, with the "Move the Stars and Shift the Constellations," the strongest Celestial Secret Skill available, he could conceal his own aura, not fearing an investigation by the Sea Snake Race using Celestial Secret Skills.

About three hours after he left, the seawater beneath the ocean suddenly rotated without any wind, revealing a giant vortex. A massive vertical pupil appeared at the base of the vortex, scanning the seabed within a radius of thousands of kilometers like a searchlight.

Without making any noticeable moves, a water mirror floated into existence above the seabed, displaying images of the sea area, and time quickly rewound back to three hours prior, revealing a crimson dragon within the water mirror.

"Dragon Race."

A low voice resonated across the sea area. A sharp finger flew from the vortex and pointed at the water mirror. The water mirror began to reverse at an accelerated pace, fully revealing the scene of a dragon and a snake battling.

The water mirror rewound from Youyuan’s fall to the very beginning, showing only a crimson dragon and the Sea Snake Demon Immortal Youyuan, without any trace of Vast Sea or Ao Run.

The water mirror continued to reverse until it stopped at the moment Youyuan first appeared, with no earlier images displayed.

"Interesting!"

Once again, the sharp fingernail pointed, causing the water mirror to reverse again, but it had just begun when a dragon’s roar emanated from the mirror, causing it to instantly shatter.

The vertical pupil in the vortex narrowed slightly, and with another finger point, countless flowing lights appeared in the water, quickly sketching out a mass of chaos.

The sharp claw pointed at the chaos, which twisted momentarily before exploding.

"Hmm?"

The vertical pupil fell silent, not speaking for a long time.

After nearly a minute, a large hand covered in snake scales appeared out of thin air, grabbing towards the void, gathering transparent blood threads into its palm, forming a small blood-colored sea snake that Su Yu would recognize as identical to Youyuan if he were present.

The large hand grabbed the sea snake and disappeared, the vortex’s vertical pupil closed, abruptly collapsing and vanishing, restoring calm to the seabed.

At this moment, Su Yu was coiled within an unnamed seabed trench more than 20,000 kilometers away from the battlefield, refining Youyuan’s Demon Immortal Primordial Spirit.

Just like the initial refinement of an Inner Core, each refinement of Youyuan’s Demon Immortal Primordial Spirit would quickly regenerate, weakening slightly with each cycle, while the Supreme Dragon Transformation grew stronger.

Once accumulated to a certain level, his strength would increase by one level.

As time passed, it took a total of 27 days to completely refine the Demon Immortal Primordial Spirit, with Su Yu’s level rising by ten levels to reach 310, enhancing all his attributes significantly.

"This efficiency is way too low."

This Soul-Devouring and Spirit-Merging Great Technique came from the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect and wasn’t originally a top-tier Secret Skill, making it very challenging to refine a Demon Immortal.

The fact was still that he was strong enough himself; otherwise, someone with insufficient strength likely couldn’t refine it at all.

"I must find a way to exchange for a top-tier devouring Secret Skill, or enhance the quality of the current spirit-merging technique using the Power of Heavenly Dao."

But that would be a matter for the future, and right now...
