Chapter 507: The Battle of Busan (Part 1) - The Elemental Thunder Spell and Su Yu's Custom Monster Army
"Elemental Thunder Spell!"
Elder Yang channeled the primordial energies of heaven and earth, summoning a massive storm of thunderclouds above the monster horde.
Despite their low intelligence, the monsters could sense the impending danger. Their eyes filled with fear as they gazed up at the ominous clouds.
Crack!
Five pillars of thunder descended from the clouds, each representing one of the five elements: white for metal, green for wood, black for water, red for fire, and yellow for earth. They struck the densest part of the monster horde with devastating force.
These monsters were specialized in physical defense, but they were utterly defenseless against the pure spiritual energy of the Elemental Thunder Spell.
The thunder pillars struck, and over forty monsters were instantly reduced to ashes, their screams cut short.
And the terror didn't end there; it was just the beginning.
As the first pillar of thunder dissipated, a second one began to form in the clouds.
"Scatter! Quickly, scatter!"
Lance, the supreme commander of the Skrull expeditionary force, urgently directed the monsters to spread out.
But the second pillar of thunder had already fallen.
Once again, the five-colored thunder pillars descended, and another forty monsters were vaporized in an instant.
Elder Yang showed no signs of stopping, as he began to prepare the third pillar of thunder.
The "Elemental Thunder Spell" was a unique spell of the Blue Star cultivators.
After reaching the Golden Core stage (4th tier), Blue Star cultivators had to undergo a celestial tribulation every time they advanced to a higher realm. Many great cultivators perished during these tribulations, their magical artifacts and mana depleted.
However, those who successfully passed the tribulation received immense benefits.
The celestial tribulation helped refine the cultivators' physical bodies and purify their internal mana.
Due to these tribulations, Blue Star cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage (5th tier) and above were much stronger than their counterparts in the Skrull forces and the game's players.
Cultivators also mimicked the immense power of the celestial tribulation to create their own spells. The "Elemental Thunder Spell" was modeled after the five-colored thunder tribulation that occurred when a cultivator advanced from the Fusion stage to the Grand Ascension stage. It was a powerful and continuous spell that could cause widespread destruction to the monster horde.
Elder Yang concentrated the mana of all the great cultivators, and the celestial tribulations rained down one after another. The number of dead and injured monsters quickly surpassed a hundred and, within a minute, reached two hundred.
Lance frantically directed the monsters to spread out. However, because they were in the sea, the scattered monsters caused extreme instability in the water, leading to chaos and the disintegration of the carefully arranged formations.
Emperor Manina XIII of the Solar Empire sat beside Lance, watching the 3D holographic projection of the battlefield with curiosity.
"Are these the main forces of the Blue Star?" Manina asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Lance replied amidst his busy commands. "Besides Su Yu and his pet cat, there are 21 sixth-tier cultivators present, one of whom has even reached the peak of the sixth tier."
"Peak sixth tier? The recovery rate of Blue Star humans is impressive!" Manina nodded thoughtfully, showing no signs of anger or frustration.
Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Lance breathed a sigh of relief and focused entirely on controlling the monster horde.
Lance, as the supreme commander of the Skrull expeditionary force, was a capable leader.
Under his control, the Elemental Thunder Spell of the Blue Star cultivators could no longer cover a large number of monsters, and each strike now only killed fewer than twenty.
At this rate, by the time the two armies clashed directly, the monster horde would only lose a few hundred, which would have a minimal impact on the overall battle.
However, just then, Lance heard the emperor's voice in his ear: "Lance, why don't we use Su Yu's custom monster army to deal with these spell-casting cultivators?"
Manina referred to the so-called "Su Yu Special Edition Monster Swarm" as a group of flying monsters with all their stats maxed out in magic resistance. There were 120 of these monsters, which Manina had specifically created for their "old friend" Su Yu.
As he watched the cultivators continuously casting the Five Elements Divine Thunder from a distance, Manina grew tempted to deploy this ace in the hole early.
"But, Your Majesty," Lanchi was puzzled, "these monsters have been well hidden, and the Earthlings haven't discovered them yet. If we wait until the battle begins and they suddenly strike, they will surely eliminate Su Yu! If we use this ace now, Su Yu might become wary and use a teleportation spell to escape."
"It's fine," Manina replied with a cold smile. "Killing Su Yu is one thing, but killing these Earth cultivators is another. Rather than letting Su Yu die so easily, I'd prefer to see him watch his friends and family fall to our hands, one by one, until he withers away in despair."
"Very well, Your Majesty."
Since the emperor had spoken, Lanchi had no choice but to comply.
He issued the attack order to the Su Yu Special Edition Monster Swarm.
From Su Yu and the Grand Cultivators' perspective, the northwest corner of the monster swarm suddenly saw over a hundred flying monsters emerging from the sea, flapping their wings against the water.
These monsters resembled Wyverns from a game, but they had a purple skin and a body shaped like a giant anglerfish, making them look incredibly strange.
Without hesitation, Senior Yang summoned a Five Elements Divine Thunder and hurled it at the group of monsters.
To everyone's surprise, the monsters quickly gathered together, and a pale purple shield rapidly formed around them.
The Divine Thunder struck the pale purple shield, but it was absorbed without a sound, only causing a slight ripple on the shield's surface.
The Grand Cultivators, led by Senior Yang, were taken aback. They hadn't expected this swarm to withstand the Divine Thunder's damage.
Senior Yang released another Five Elements Divine Thunder.
Once again, the same thing happened. The Divine Thunder was instantly absorbed upon contact with the pale purple shield, which only grew more solid in the process.
Now, the Grand Cultivators realized they were in serious trouble.
These monsters were immune to spells.
Moreover, Su Yu and the Grand Cultivators discovered another major issue: there were too many high-tier monsters in the swarm!
The Skrulls controlled 3,533 psychic springs, including 23 giant springs, 106 large springs, and the rest were small springs.
The monsters created from giant and large springs were vastly different from those created from small springs.
The small springs produced monsters with a peak strength of the Fifth Rank, the large springs consistently produced Sixth Rank monsters—mid-level Sixth Rank—and the giant springs produced exclusively peak Sixth Rank monsters.
This meant that out of the monsters, there were 129 Sixth Rank and above, six times more than the Earth side!
Adding to this, the swarm of highly magic-resistant monsters (with three peak Sixth Rank and 15 Sixth Rank) made Su Yu and his companions feel the weight of their burden grow heavier.
Su Yu quickly used his mental energy to contact all the Grand Cultivators: "Everyone, no matter what happens, even if we lose, remember to never sacrifice yourselves in this battle!"
After receiving the Grand Cultivators' affirmation, Su Yu used his mental energy to contact the cat on his shoulder, Chenxing: "Chenxing, you and Tina will be the main force to eliminate these magic-resistant monsters. Get ready!"
With that, Su Yu took out a red gaming helmet from his necklace and held it in his palm.
