Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1106: Chapter 396: Nightmare of a Dutiful Father and Filial Son, and Bone Fiend

After just a few breaths, the wolf hair phantom above his head gradually dissipated, and transformed into a brand new wolf hair True Treasure in his hand.

At this moment, Ji Yuan watched the scene, and with a flip of his right hand hidden in his sleeve.

A round ring appeared in his hand.

Only now was he able to use his Divine Sense to carefully scan the ring in his hand... pure white throughout, crafted like millennium cold iron, with a chilly feel to it.

It seemed like a Magical Treasure.

But as Ji Yuan injected Mana into it, he quickly felt that it was a one-time Magical Treasure... crafted specifically to target Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s Lifebound Magical Treasure.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but want to laugh.

It really looked like a classic ”fatherly and filial” master-disciple relationship.

Each targeting the other, neither trusting the other completely.

Once Mana was injected, the ring in Ji Yuan’s hand, which was initially only palm-sized, began to grow rapidly. Within the span of a breath, it grew to the size of a human head, resembling... shackles?

Or perhaps a collar?

Ji Yuan felt that the ring had reached its limit after injecting a quarter of his Mana.

Naturally, Ma Gui noticed Ji Yuan’s actions. He knew Ji Yuan was preparing to use some hidden trump card, just as now... when the halo reached its limit.

”Go!”

Ji Yuan flicked his right hand, which was holding the ring, forward.

The ring transformed into a stream of light, flying directly towards Ma Gui.

Ma Gui then manipulated the True Treasure in his hand, holding it up with both hands, making the wolf hair hover over his head.

He watched this scene, undeterred.

In his view, unless Di Renjie also used a True Treasure, relying solely on such ordinary means... was entirely impossible to break his True Treasure.

”Deng—”

The True Treasure collided with the ring in mid-air.

A radiant flash of light in cyan and white erupted suddenly, emanating terrifying Spiritual Qi fluctuations that forced Ma Gui to cast spells to block overhead.

Yet, just after they collided.

Ma Gui unexpectedly found that his proud True Treasure, under this pure white ring, was... being destroyed!

The Protective Spirit Light emitted by the True Treasure, upon encountering this ring, seemed as if meeting its nemesis, began to dissolve inch by inch.

The ring pressed closer, while the wolf hair retreated.

It retreated until there was no more room to retreat.

Upon their encounter, the ring directly wrapped around the cyan wolf hair, then suddenly tightened. In just an instant, the True Treasure-level wolf hair was... broken!

Directly broken by the ring.

Transforming into scattered points of Mana stardust.

With the destruction of the True Treasure, the Protective Spirit Light around Ma Gui also gradually dissipated.

”This...”

Before he could express his shock, the four Canglan Swords Ji Yuan had previously sent out returned, once again sweeping around Ma Gui, with streaks of Purple Sky Divine Thunder bursting forth again.

”Ugh ah!!!”

As the Purple Sky Divine Thunder descended upon him, Ma Gui immediately let out a cry of pain.

His whole body stiffened in an instant, even the long hair on his head stood upright under the lightning’s grip.

Previously, when Ji Yuan used Purple Sky Divine Thunder, he still had a True Treasure to resist, but unfortunately, this time he was without it.

Furthermore, he had overly relied on the True Treasure before, failing to activate any other protective measures, thus facing Ji Yuan’s Purple Sky Divine Thunder once again...

His aura weakened visibly at a rapid pace.

Even his voice was similarly fading.

Using his remaining vision, he looked towards Ji Yuan, and at this moment of death, his mind seemed to clear up.

”You... who exactly are you?”

Only now did Ma Gui finally realize, unless there was a life-and-death hatred, why would this person press him step by step, even preparing various traps in advance, all just to take his life at the moment of near contact!

The person before him was definitely not Di Renjie, most likely an enemy with a life-and-death grudge!

Ji Yuan stepped up close and watched his old nemesis turn into a lost soul under his Flying Sword.

In his eyes, there wasn’t a trace of delight, nor a shred of compassion.

There was only a calm, as ordinary as eating or drinking.

Perhaps this was related to Ji Yuan’s earlier behavior in Rakshasa City, where he reaped Core Formation Cultivators like grass.

Having killed many Core Formation Cultivators... the feel of it was just that, if one really wanted a good feel, one would have to kill a few Nascent Soul Cultivators.

So when he listened to Ma Gui’s words at this moment, he felt nothing, he simply lifted his left hand silently, and with a flick of his heart, a green ghostly fire suddenly ignited.

Upon seeing this familiar Yin Corpse Demon Fire.

Ma Gui’s eyes widened instantly, at the brink of death, he finally recalled something, and recognized the person before him.

Ji Yuan watched his seemingly enlightened expression, gathering his left hand’s fingers instantly to crush the Yin Corpse Demon Fire, turning it into scattered sparks.

Immediately, Ji Yuan leaned closer with a soft laugh:

”Senior Brother Ma, it’s me, Mo Tusheng...”

”...”

Moments later, Ji Yuan collected Ma Gui’s Storage Bag and the Demon Marrow Drill symbolizing his identity.

Of course, he didn’t miss the Immortal Material either.

And this piece of Immortal Material was relatively intact, given time, when he emerged from the Chaotic Burial Mound, he would again be a formidable figure at the Peak of Core Formation!

After storing everything securely, Ji Yuan took out his long-lost Thousand Souls Banner, and as the Soul Banner fluttered, a gray Yin Soul flew out, swiftly merging into the Soul Banner.

The Yin Soul... was still there!

So it seemed, the Ghost Envoy couldn’t truly control the core area?

If it could control even a little, Ma Gui’s Yin Soul wouldn’t remain.

But obviously, now wasn’t the time to delve into this, as Ji Yuan turned his gaze towards the center of the Blaze Ash Desert.

He saw that those aligned Nascent Soul Cultivators had already traversed more than half the distance.

The means used to resist the Illusion Realm... now they had all taken the Forget Dust Pill given by Bone Nightmare Old Demon, leaving only the stolen Divine Stabilizing Vine from Nightmare True Monarch unused.

For a moment, Ji Yuan’s barely stabilized mind was stirred again.
