Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 451: Chapter 222: Ji Yuan Slays a Golden Core!

Heroes in the world are as numerous as the carp in the river.

Heroes are like this, so are the prodigies.

Since I can traverse worlds and gain such opportunities with the panel, why can’t others?

It’s because of this mindset that Ji Yuan is always cautious when he goes out, and he gives his all when encountering enemies.

The place where Celestial Silkworm Zhenren is battling the Six-tailed Fox Spirit is still to the north, so after passing through this battlefield, they have to keep heading north. After a short stick of incense time has passed, they finally reach the edge of the Golden Core battlefield.

”Damn, this is pretty fierce.”

Ji Yuan didn’t dare get too close, but even just witnessing the aftermath of this battlefield left him somewhat in awe.

The small mountains in the distance have been flattened, and the entire ground is covered in spiderweb-like cracks, the widest being as much as a foot wide.

At the center of this battlefield, the true form of the Six-tailed Fox Spirit, standing tens of feet tall, swings its six tails like whips continuously in the air.

Celestial Silkworm Zhenren has transformed into an Escape Light, weaving back and forth in the air, both avoiding the fox spirit’s tails and looking for a suitable opportunity to attack.

Ji Yuan doesn’t know if Celestial Silkworm Zhenren is injured, he only knows that in the ruins further away, there lies a silkworm demon that is barely breathing.

About a foot long, its whole body is gray-black, its head tattered, lying motionless on the ground.

Looking back at the Six-tailed Fox Spirit, its fur is damaged in many places, and bloodstains can be seen here and there. Particularly on its back, there is a wound where the flesh is exposed.

Who knows how it got left there.

Overall, it seems this fox spirit has fallen into a disadvantageous position. If the fight goes on, it’s only a matter of time before it’s killed.

”This Demon Cultivator is at mid-stage Golden Core, and the Six-tailed is also mid-tier three, but because it hasn’t been long since it broke through, and this Demon Cultivator indeed has many trump cards... it’s hard to kill. Are you sure you still want to make a move?”

Dong Qian explained through sound transmission.

Mid-stage Golden Core... Ji Yuan’s level 2 Spiritual Energy Cannon, costing 3000 mid-grade Spirit Stones, on the second gear, is equivalent to a full-force strike from mid-stage Golden Core.

Third gear requires 10000, equivalent to the peak of Golden Core.

Ji Yuan thought that using 4000 mid-grade Spirit Stones for one shot at Celestial Silkworm Zhenren, the injured mid-stage Golden Core, shouldn’t be a problem.

If worst comes to worst, he’ll spend another 900 mid-grade Spirit Stones, go to first gear, and fire another shot. It should be enough to kill him.

”Kill!”

Ji Yuan still uses that one word.

”Alright.”

With a sound of agreement, Dong Qian softly closed her eyes, and her aura suddenly changed.

First, her appearance, her disguise faded, returning to her original look, appearing extremely charming, and then a lotus-shaped blood pattern emerged on her forehead.

The curvature of her eyes also changed, becoming somewhat like fox eyes.

To be precise, they indeed resembled... a fox spirit.

What surprised Ji Yuan even more was that a snow-white fox tail, fluffy and without a single stray color, grew from beneath Dong Qian’s black robe.

But how can this control a mid-stage Golden Core Celestial Silkworm Zhenren?

Ji Yuan only noticed Dong Qian’s aura transform more into that of a mystical being, yet he didn’t see any change in her strength.

Her cultivation was still the same as before, in early Foundation Establishment.

She hadn’t even reached mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

”Junior Brother, stop looking, get ready, I’m about to make a move.”

Dong Qian’s voice resonated in Ji Yuan’s mind.

Even in sound transmission, Ji Yuan could hear her shyness; after all, it’s the first time she’s revealed her true form in front of outsiders.

Especially the fox tail behind her, which made Dong Qian feel as if she was exposed without clothes in front of others.

”Alright.”

Ji Yuan withdrew his gaze, his thoughts moved, and he took out his Spiritual Energy Cannon from the Storage Bag, setting it on this mountain peak.

”What, it’s actually this thing?!”

Dong Qian exclaimed in shock, while Ji Yuan proceeded to activate his level 2 Spiritual Energy Cannon.

The silver ring originally at the base slowly rose, and the once dim and dull silver ring began to radiate a dense silvery-white light.

Before Ji Yuan could channel Spirit Stones into the silver ring.

He saw Dong Qian next to him, her left hand forming a projection in front of her, her right hand pinching a seal above her left hand, and then she softly invoked:

”Heavenly Fox Secret Technique—Fallen Green Hill.”

Along with her voice falling, the entire Ancient Battlefield trembled violently, followed by Ji Yuan seeing in the vast wilderness behind him, a phantom of a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox leaping out of thin air.

Its form was incomparably huge, and upon emerging, it rose to the sky, overshadowing everything.

Ji Yuan felt an overwhelming pressure, and under this pressure, he had no choice but to lower his head.

Ji Yuan had no time to observe further.

Since Dong Qian had made a move, he too had to follow suit.

Thus, placing one hand on the Storage Bag, his heart moved, and Spirit Stones flowed out from it like a stream.

Straight into the silver ring of the Spiritual Energy Cannon.

Ji Yuan’s heart clenched at the sight.

’Damn it, if after killing this Celestial Silkworm Zhenren, I can’t recoup the loss, I’m going to grind his bones to dust!’

And as the phantom of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox ascended to its highest point, it plummeted straight down.

At first glance, it resembled a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, but upon closer inspection, it seemed like a green mountain falling from the sky.

”No—”

In mid-air, Celestial Silkworm Zhenren, seemingly trying to escape as an Escape Light, roared in fury.

Yet he was still trampled by the phantom of the Heavenly Fox.

From mid-air, he was stomped straight into the ground.

A moment later, Ji Yuan had already channeled 2000 mid-grade Spirit Stones into the Spiritual Energy Cannon.
