Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 603: Chapter 271: Ji Yuan the Insect Demon, 10 Feet Tall

“Who are you trying to scare with this act?”

Phoenix Peach raised her eyebrows and pointed into the void.

Yun Qianzai immediately contracted the array, exposing a space for Phoenix Peach to cast her technique. The two of them had worked together many times, and their coordination was seamless.

But then a bolt of purple lightning fell from the sky.

Ji Yuan glanced roughly at it; it should be enough for him to refine his body!

However, it’s not wise to withstand it directly. Just as he was thinking of using the Dragon Whisker Shield he held, he saw the array transform.

A pillar of water appeared in the rain, received the purple lightning, and transmitted the electricity out of the array.

Conduct electricity?

Truly impressive, Yun Qianzai!

Before Ji Yuan could be surprised, he saw a gigantic Fire Phoenix, nearly ten meters tall, condense in front of Phoenix Peach.

She whispered softly, “Go!”

Immediately, the Fire Phoenix spread its wings, flying straight toward the distant Profound Turtle Zhenren.

Though she appeared to be at the late-stage Foundation Establishment, she was actually at the peak, and her move was earth-shattering.

Flames swept everywhere, illuminating the dark night.

The Foundation Establishment Elders, who were escorting their family’s ancestor, saw the sect leader die and the ancestor reanimate. Witnessing the powerful fire technique heading towards them, they fled in panic.

Ji Yuan didn’t move, but his divine sense was tightly locked onto the Profound Turtle Zhenren opposite.

He originally just stretched lazily, then slowly shook his sleeve, and instantly, nearly ten black threads grew from behind him.

Each black thread steadily landed on one elder.

Soon, these elders became as rigid as if under a paralyze spell.

They didn’t even have time to scream before standing still… their breaths quickly declined, while the Profound Turtle Elder’s aura rapidly increased.

In an instant, he transformed from a corpse without cultivation into a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But the speed didn’t stop; his cultivation aura escalated rapidly.

Mid-stage, late-stage, peak…

Then he stepped into the Core Formation realm!

Instant Golden Core!

The change came too fast, and then Yun Qian acted decisively.

Knowing that if he didn’t sever these black threads, the resurrected Profound Turtle Zhenren’s power would continue to strengthen.

Holding the Great Halberd, he turned into escape light.

In almost the blink of an eye, he passed through the numerous black threads.

His Great Halberd swung, leaving a water-blue whirlwind among the black threads.

As a Core Formation cultivator exerting their full power, Ji Yuan felt that if he fell into it… at least he would have to use a Talisman Treasure.

Or perhaps use the sect’s protective scales to possibly block it.

But now?

The countless black threads under the water whirlwind didn’t move a bit, unaffected.

Well, a few threads connected afar swayed lightly as if a gentle breeze blew by.

Passing through the threads, Yun Qian looked back in disbelief.

He stood firm, flicked his right hand, and a three-leaf ring-shaped flying saber shot out.

The flying saber turned into a snow-white arc, slicing through the black threads again.

But the result?

The flying saber remained intact, and the black threads… also unchanged.

Still continuously absorbing the Spiritual Qi from those Foundation Establishment elders.

Yun Qian reacted quickly, releasing the flying saber again.

Since the threads couldn’t be cut, he’d pulverize the Foundation Establishment elders!

Immediately, his heart thought activated, forming countless dense water arrows behind him.

His left hand made a technique gesture in front and then waved forward.

Thousands of water arrows pierced the night, targeting the Foundation Establishment elders.

He was quick, but the Profound Turtle Zhenren was even quicker.

As if predicting, the black threads behind Profound Turtle Zhenren gently shook.

Soon, the bodies of the Foundation Establishment elders vanished, leaving only a thread stuck in the void.

The flying saber missed, and the water arrows missed too.

Yet the situation was clear: although knowing the Foundation Establishment corpses were there, they couldn’t be hit!

Ji Yuan’s eyes widened… what on earth is this cultivation technique?

Can an ordinary person form a Golden Core instantly?

Impossible, right?

Moreover, such absurd defense, even a Core Formation cultivator’s full effort couldn’t hold.

Once the Profound Turtle Zhenren transcended into Golden Core again, Phoenix Peach’s peak Foundation Establishment technique became insufficient.

You could see the Profound Turtle Zhenren reaching out to gently press on the Fire Phoenix’s head.

The previously imposing Fire Phoenix became as obedient as a pet in his hand.

The Fire Phoenix’s size rapidly shrank visibly.

In just a few breaths, it shrank to palm-size, ultimately crushed softly by the Profound Turtle Zhenren.

The Fire Phoenix turned into a weak flame and dissipated.

“Interesting, but not much.”

The Profound Turtle Zhenren nonchalantly clapped his hands, then straightened his somewhat hunched form slightly.

The black threads connecting those Foundation Establishment elders did not break; instead, they grew thicker.

Even without seeing the Foundation Establishment elders’ bodies, Ji Yuan could imagine the condition.

Their figures must be withering rapidly.

Spiritual Qi, vital blood, Blood Qi, all vanished.

The Profound Turtle Zhenren’s body gradually straightened, his aura rising to another realm.

Golden Core… mid-stage!

After reaching mid-stage Golden Core, those threads withered away, gradually disappearing, ultimately absorbed into him.

“What a pity, still useless after all.”
