Chapter 170: Chapter 86: Ancient Beast, Five-Colored Divine Bull

With a single breath, he dove deep underground, ensuring no one could follow. The Celestial Ghost waved its claws, digging out a small space to reveal its true form.

He reached out, pulling open a blue light door, and dived headfirst into the Sea-Suppressing Pearl.

Opening his mouth, he inhaled a cool stream of Spiritual Qi into his abdomen, attempting to calm the fire within his heart, but it did nothing to quench his raging fury.

"Damn the Celestial God Association, I won’t let this go."

He understood the guild’s practice of clearing the area during activities. Previously, in the Thousand Feather Association, during guild activities, they would clear areas to prevent sabotage. But normally, they’d inform nearby players to leave first, resorting to force only when someone stubbornly refused to go, and even then, they’d issue a warning before taking lethal action. It wasn’t as if they would kill without a word of notice.

"You all want to destroy this Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, huh? Well, I won’t let you succeed."

Su Yu was determined. He resolved that he would sabotage their plans later.

After resting for a while inside the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, he waited for his Mana to recover before re-refining all the previously broken Magical Treasures.

After re-refining the Cyan Cloud Cover and the Nine Orifice Treasure Pearl, he re-equipped them. However, the Dragon Scale Flying Ship, having initially faced the main cannon of the Celestial Strike Battleship, was severely damaged and needed major repairs from an Artifact Refiner before it could be used again.

Fortunately, he acted swiftly; had he been a second slower, the whole ship might have been blown apart.

His previous Spirit Fish Shuttle had long been sold; now, he had no Flying Ship to use.

Su Yu rested for about an hour inside the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, and only when he felt sufficiently restored did he come out. Transforming back into the Celestial Ghost, he became a wisp of smoke, passing through the earth and stone, flying upwards.

Before long, he returned to the surface and saw the Celestial Strike Battleship suspended hundreds of meters above the center of the canyon. On it, rows of Divine Thunder Cannon Platforms were activated, continuously gathering divine thunder and firing it into the center of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons below.

"Are they training, or trying to destroy this Cave of Ten Thousand Demons?"

It seemed like training, but to mobilize such a massive battleship and clear the area without notice couldn’t be just training.

Su Yu speculated that the Celestial God Association’s primary goal was likely to destroy the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons and thus gain the Power of Law condensed within it.

As everyone knows, the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, like the Water Eye, is a monster refresh point on the Other Shore, formed by the earth veins combined with the Heavenly Dao Laws. Inside, the Power of Heavenly Dao Magic has become substantial; if one could forcibly destroy the Water Eye or demon cave, the Power of Heavenly Dao Magic might condense into a physical entity, which would be an extremely rare treasure with magical effects.

Moreover, such monster refresh points are naturally the focal points of earth veins and may produce various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Additionally, as a monster refresh point, it would certainly have Guardians — extremely high-level bosses.

When threatened, it will instinctively refresh some mid-level and small bosses to defend it. Defeating these bosses is bound to offer rich rewards.

Such monster refresh points are usually considered top-tier resource points.

Logically, one should protect top-tier resource points to gain continuous benefits, but the reason to destroy them is that the benefits from destruction are substantial, coupled with the difficulty of occupation.

Monster refresh points continuously generate monsters, with a throughput of tens of thousands per second. With too many accumulated monsters and sporadically refreshed bosses, occupying is exceedingly difficult.

Not to mention the super bosses refreshed at over level 200, which, despite the rarity, a normal boss at level 170-180 is frequently refreshed.

Even taking down one or two of these, combined with the endless monster assaults, means that not even the Celestial God Association with their Celestial Strike Battleship stationed daily could necessarily withstand it.

Thus, the Other Shore has many monster refresh points, but there’s been no heard of a guild completely occupying one.

For them, the best approach is to destroy the monster refresh point to harvest the embedded benefits.

Nevertheless, destroying a monster refresh point isn’t easily done, even with an entire guild mobilizing.

Solid strength is one factor; luck is equally important.

The first step is to pray that the refreshed Guardian doesn’t exceed level 200.

If it’s under level 200, there’s a chance; if over, there’s no need for further discussion — just retreat.

Su Yu observed carefully and noticed that although the Celestial Strike Battleship’s attacks hadn’t paused, the number of people aboard seemed fewer. He guessed that some must have already descended.

"Can’t let them succeed."

With determination, he dove underground once more, heading towards the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons from over a hundred meters below.

He swiftly passed through the canyon peaks, reaching the edge of the demon cave’s entrance. His divine sense could perceive everything within a range of over ten meters. As he neared the cave’s edge, he slowed, sticking close to the rock edge and revealing just his head.

He found himself in a gigantic hollow, nearly two kilometers in diameter, resembling a natural sinkhole. The smooth rock walls were marked with claw marks, likely left by refreshed monsters passing through the demon cave.

However, at this moment, there were no monsters in sight, only divine thunder falling from above, shooting down the passage into the bottomless pit below.

He poked his head down, watching the series of explosions at the unfathomable bottom of the sinkhole.

After a brief observation, Su Yu withdrew, continuing to descend along the rock wall.

After diving for less than two minutes, Su Yu suddenly felt an invisible wave sweep over him, as if he’d entered a certain area. He felt much lighter in his movements and noticed that the texture of the stones was changing, resembling the jade-like rocks near the Water Eye, with the Spiritual Qi within skyrocketing.
