Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 969: Chapter 369: New Building—[Martial

The battle was about to erupt.

Ji Yuan first flicked his fingers, tossing a Qi Blood Pill into Xing Shuang’s hand. As his right hand lifted, he summoned his Lifebound Magical Treasure from within his Dantian.

Mountain of Mind and Heart!

The small mountain grew with the wind, and by the time it appeared atop Ji Yuan’s head, it had already transformed into a cyan-brown stone mountain, protecting him.

Axe Cleave Stone Mountain.

”Boom——”

A huge and muffled sound rang out, and Ji Yuan’s figure instantly flashed under the Mountain of Mind and Heart, supporting the mountain with one hand.

The force of the air swept away, sending Xing Shuang flying, but she didn’t hesitate to swallow the Qi Blood Pill given by Ji Yuan.

As the Qi Blood overflowed from within her, soaking into her body at that moment, she realized the preciousness of what Ji Yuan had given her.

But there was no time for surprise.

Her injuries fully healed, she immediately consumed her last drop of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk.

This was her life-saving item, and she hadn’t used it before due to her injuries, rendering the effect minimal even if consumed.

But now it was different.

With her injuries completely gone, this drop of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk was her trump card!

Feeling the Mana rapidly filling her Dantian, she let out a cold laugh, spun around, and strummed the bowstring in her hand.

”Twang——”

As the bowstring vibrated, an arrow of light was released, immediately stopping the seductive woman who tried to advance.

With one arrow making the opponent halt, Xing Shuang pursued the victory, continuously firing arrows, soon pushing the seductive woman far away.

Her cultivation was already at the peak of Mid-stage Core Formation, just one step away from breaking through.

This time, she came to Yazhou Bay to hunt two Tier Three Demon Beasts, aiming to acquire the resources for her breakthrough.

But by a stroke of misfortune, she inadvertently provoked these two formidable adversaries.

However, fortunately, Ji Yuan blocked this deeply cultivated Demon Lord Duan Yue, leaving her with no concerns.

Without Demon Lord Duan Yue around, the mere Mid-stage Core Formation opponent was no match for Xing Shuang!

As Xing Shuang dealt with the other adversary, Ji Yuan also had no scruples.

Using the Mountain of Mind and Heart to block the gigantic axe, his figure flashed and appeared atop the mountain. He looked down arrogantly at Demon Lord Duan Yue opposite him.

”Arrogant!”

Who was Demon Lord Duan Yue?

Known for roaming the northern Endless Sea without encountering many foes, he wasn’t used to being condescended upon by an Early-stage Core Formation Cultivator.

But just as he prepared to strike again, he saw two black flags appear behind the opponent.

As soon as one appeared, a swarm of dark Yin Souls flew out, while the other emitted dense black mist, rapidly enveloping the sky, swallowing his figure.

”Is this... Thousand Souls Banner?! Who would have guessed you’re a Demon Cultivator, truly deceitful!”

A cold laugh came from the ghostly mist.

Along with the laughter came an axe’s stroke, seemingly about to slaughter the dense Yin Souls.

But at that moment, the Yin Ghost Array swapped, and all the Yin Souls vanished.

Demon Lord Duan Yue’s strike missed.

Seeing this, he immediately became highly alert; though the opponent was an Early-stage Core Formation, manipulating the array to such an extent meant he must be an Array Cultivator!

’No wonder he’s brave enough to stop and play hero, turns out he has some tricks!’

Having fallen into the array, Demon Lord Duan Yue immediately attempted to escape; remaining in place would only lead to deeper entanglement. He decided to find the edge of the array and break it with force!

But as he failed a strike and attempted to flee far away, he suddenly sensed a dense Yin energy surrounding him. Before he could react, a ghostly green ring of fire surged towards him from all directions.

The aura emanating from this green ghostly fire instantly startled him.

”This is... Yin Corpse Demon Fire! You are Mo Tusheng!”

”Since it’s Daoist Mo, why not show your true face and instead plot against me, Duan Yue!”

A strong surge of Evil Qi appeared around Demon Lord Duan Yue, blocking the Yin Corpse Demon Fire. In a flash, he darted away.

Ji Yuan remained silent, continuously manipulating the Yin Ghost Array, while allowing the Yin Corpse Demon Fire to keep descending upon him.

Ji Yuan had certainly heard of Mo Tusheng, ”Demon Master Mo”.

He was another Demon Cultivator with Yin Corpse Demon Fire in Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s words, within the Soul Refining Hall.

Like Demon Lord Duan Yue, also a Late-stage Core Formation, but a Nascent Soul Monster in Soul Refining Hall and a direct disciple of the Soul Hall Master.

Ji Yuan said nothing, solely focused on pursuing him.

Soon, Demon Lord Duan Yue sensed something amiss.

Normally, he had already fled over a hundred miles, yet was still enveloped by the black mist.

How was this possible?

Trapping Array!

Finally understanding, he ceased fleeing.

Seeing the Yin Corpse Demon Fire converge again, he swung the huge axe in his hands, fiercely spinning it around, ridiculously dispersing the Yin Corpse Demon Fire.

Ji Yuan observed such a fierce tactic for the first time, able to scatter even the Yin Corpse Demon Fire, and couldn’t help being amazed.

But just as he gathered the Yin Corpse Demon Fire anew, he saw Demon Lord Duan Yue punch his chest, spewing blood as his whole body suddenly enlarged, transforming into a massive demonic statue three meters tall.

His teeth protruded, horns grew on his head, and the black clothes worn on his upper body hung loosely, revealing a naked torso covered in blood patterns.

The giant axe he wielded also grew larger, as if becoming a mighty axe capable of splitting the heavens.
