Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 667: Chapter 292: True · Ji Yuan Slays a Golden Core!

Once the Scarlet Wave Whip was in hand, Fire Python Zhenren’s aura transformed, and he instantly became sharp and formidable.

With a swift flick of the whip in his right hand, whip shadows appeared in the space around him, three meters wide.

The long whip danced densely, impenetrable.

Ji Yuan combined nine swords into one and slashed down.

As soon as they collided, a tremendous sound erupted, accompanied by a massive wave of Spiritual Qi spreading out, dispersing a good portion of the surrounding array fog.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but think… Whether the Star Spiral Cloud Barrier Array or the Star Dust Illusionary Killing Array, they are only Tier Two Arrays, highly effective when dealing with Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

But once confronting this Golden Core Cultivator, their effectiveness weakened.

The Canglan Sword Embryo continued to hold against the web of whips, lasting approximately three breaths, until a soft “bang” sounded.

The nine-sword combination of the Canglan Sword Embryo eventually fell short against the Scarlet Wave Whip.

The sword embryo once again split into nine swords, dissipating into the surroundings.

’In the end, it’s just a sword embryo; compared to a true Magical Treasure, it’s still lacking significantly.’

Ji Yuan estimated that once he reaches Core Formation and refines these nine sword embryos into reality, transforming them into the true Canglan Sword, things would be different.

As for now…

After breaking through the flying sword above, Fire Python Zhenren sneered.

“Useless!”

With that, the Scarlet Wave Whip in his hand hardened in an instant, transforming into a rod-like Magical Treasure, which he thrust fiercely at the net below him.

Straight down, pressing the net several meters toward the ground.

No matter how hard Ji Yuan exerted himself, it was all for naught.

… I underestimated the strength of this Golden Core Zhenren. Even injured, he’s still two minor realms ahead of me, at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Like this nine-sword combination, based on Ji Yuan’s original imagination, he thought his nine swords slashing down.

Even if they couldn’t kill Fire Python Zhenren, at least they would cause him significant discomfort for a while.

But unexpectedly, it was effortlessly blocked by him in the end.

Even the complete Magical Treasure Heavenly Net couldn’t do any better. Although he couldn’t destroy the treasure, Ji Yuan’s aim to wound him with it was impossible.

“A bit of skill, but not much, kid… cough cough cough.”

Repeated actions seemed to provoke the injuries inside Fire Python Zhenren, leading him to cough violently, making the taut Scarlet Wave Whip soften again into a limp whip.

… Good!

Strike while he’s weak and take his life!

Seizing the opportunity, Ji Yuan exerted himself and leaped upward. At that moment, a white light flashed from his Dantian, which he grabbed in his hand, spinning once and fiercely throwing the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

No fancy movements or tricks.

Only the purest and most extreme attack method!

Once the Mountain of Mind and Heart was cast, it expanded with the wind, instantly transforming into a human-sized stone, and by the time it flew near Fire Python Zhenren, it had turned into a small mountain several dozen meters high!

“Ah—”

Fire Python Zhenren was startled by such a sudden attack method.

In haste, he retrieved the Scarlet Wave Whip to guard in front, while simultaneously forming a few Protective Techniques, yet even so, he couldn’t withstand the might of the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

Instinctively he reached out with both hands.

Hands hovered as protection, but despite this, the powerful attack force caused his organs to shift.

“Puh—”

He spat a mouthful of blood mist mixed with organ fragments.

New injuries coupled with old ones erupted inside him, turning his already pale complexion ghastly white like gold paper, causing his entire body to sway.

Vaguely, even the Golden Core within his Dantian showed signs of cracking.

“Magical Treasure, another Magical Treasure!”

“How many damn Magical Treasures do you actually have!”

Fire Python Zhenren wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, snickering, “A Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator, able to simultaneously wield two Magical Treasures and even have a Magical Treasure embryo; you’re quite the talent, aren’t you!”

“Same to you!”

Ji Yuan stood on the Flying Boat behind the Mountain of Mind and Heart, firmly supporting this Lifebound Magical Treasure.

Fire Python Zhenren was also holding his own; faced with such a mountain-like treasure, although he was teetering, he dared not relent.

He had no doubt that if he couldn’t withstand it, he’d be utterly suppressed by this Magical Treasure!

For a moment, the two seemed to reach a stalemate.

If they were stuck, someone had to break the deadlock.

Fire Python Zhenren’s heart stirred, summoning the fire python that was initially entangled with the Frost Serpent on the ground; it immediately swayed its body to ascend, coiling toward Ji Yuan.

Yet, the moment the fire python moved, the once scorched black Monday rose once more, using its claws to clutch the fire python tightly, preventing its advance.

The fire python flickered its tongue as a blue flame ignited on its body, surging toward the Frost Serpent behind it.

In an instant, Monday emitted a pained howl, yet refused to let go.

“Courting death!”

Seeing this, Ji Yuan’s eyes turned cold, and then a dark shadow flew out from his Storage Bag.

This shadow, upon appearing, pressed a singular hand on the fire python’s head.

Countless silken threads emerged from its half-body, crisscrossing and dancing in the air, finally entangling the fire python.

The Frost Serpent, seeing this, finally has a chance to breathe, its front claws releasing, and its entire body collapsing heavily onto the sandy shore, gasping in pain.
