Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 452: Chapter 222: Ji Yuan Slays a Golden Core!

Two breaths later, it was 2500 Spirit Stones.

Three breaths, complete.

The silver circle in the center of the [Spiritual Energy Cannon] was already beyond what the naked eye could withstand, especially after absorbing the Spiritual Qi of 3000 Spirit Stones, the energy within reached an extremely terrifying state.

As the gunner controlling the [Spiritual Energy Cannon], Ji Yuan naturally had a sense of this cannon.

The range he could ”see” was no longer limited to his immediate line of sight.

From a high vantage point, everything within the range of the cannon’s attack was visible to him.

Thus, he clearly saw the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren being pinned down by the Nine-tailed Fox’s phantom, constantly struggling yet unable to escape.

What’s there to hesitate about?

”Fire... release!”

After Ji Yuan’s heart thought locked onto the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren, he chose to fire.

With a loud ”boom”.

Ji Yuan felt as if the entire ground jumped.

The small hill he was standing on directly sunk into the earth!

He landed back on the ground.

The silver circle in the center of the [Spiritual Energy Cannon] returned to normal, only slightly trembling as if about to explode at any moment.

The energy shot out in a straight line through the entire battlefield.

The white light, like an arrow piercing the sun.

Wherever it passed, be it stone or ground, was dissolved under its energy.

It seemed like nothing in this world could stop it.

As for the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren?

The instant he was locked by the [Spiritual Energy Cannon], he felt immense horror and danger.

He wanted to run!

He had to run, otherwise, he might truly die here.

He saw Dong Qian activating the Secret Technique, also saw Qiu Qianhai operating the Spiritual Energy Cannon.

But it was all in vain.

Because he found that he couldn’t possibly avoid it.

No matter how he struggled, he was firmly suppressed by the Fallen Green Hill, until... that dazzling, sun-like brightness shone upon him...

No explosion, no cries of pain.

Only the relentless advance of the Spiritual Energy Cannon.

All that was left was a circular, smooth hole piercing through the ground.

And the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren?

Even after the Nine-tailed Fox’s phantom dissipated, there was no movement from him.

Ji Yuan scanned with his Divine Sense, and then he saw.

The Celestial Silkworm Zhenren had become the ”Insect Zhenren.”

Why?

Because half of his body was missing.

Only half remained, lying on the sandy ground, motionless.

A Golden Core Zhenren without a Nascent Soul, with such physical damage, was certainly doomed.

”Let’s go.”

With this thought, Ji Yuan immediately summoned the Sky Raider, and in an instant, he was beside the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren, pulling out... the Thousand Souls Banner.

The Yin Soul of a Golden Core Zhenren should not be wasted.

Even stored within the Soul Banner, it would be stronger than other Yin Souls.

Maybe it could transform into a Foundation Establishment Stage Yin Soul.

Even with half the body remaining, it was collected to be buried later in the [Chaotic Burial Mound] and see if he could be revived.

If possible, half a body of a Golden Core is still a Golden Core, right?

Then there was the Storage Bag.

Tied to the waist of the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren, Ji Yuan plucked it off and put it into his own Storage Bag.

”Let’s go, get out first, then split the spoils!”

Saying so, Ji Yuan went to the other side, adhering to the principle of ”every grain returned to the warehouse,” and also collected the corpse of that silkworm demon.

”Without the danger, there’s no need to leave for now, also I have something to do here. If Junior Brother wants to leave, go ahead.”

With her tail retracted, Dong Qian, who had transformed back into a human form, gently shook her head.

This made Ji Yuan pause his actions.

”How can that be? If Senior Sister isn’t leaving, neither am I.”

Ji Yuan said earnestly, with the greatest threat resolved, Dong Qian was likely about to open the tomb here, right?

A Nascent Soul True Monarch’s tomb, even if no benefits are gained, is worth a look, isn’t it?

Danger... If Dong Qian is willing to take him, there surely won’t be any danger.

If she doesn’t take him, it means going in would be dangerous.

Moreover, Ji Yuan hadn’t forgotten his main purpose for coming to this Ancient Battlefield, which was to forge a sword embryo.

Without achieving this goal, why leave?

Dong Qian looked at him and smiled.

”Alright, I know you have many questions, follow me.”

After saying this, Dong Qian summoned a Flying Boat for a westward journey, with the six-tailed demon fox, now the size of a kitten, turning into a white light and jumping into her arms.

Seeing the injuries on it, Dong Qian, heart aching, gently stroked its fur.

The six-tailed demon fox curled into a ball, sticking out its pink tongue to gently lick its wounds.

The injuries it licked healed visibly faster.

’Fox saliva, this is indeed a rare healing balm.’

Watching the scene, Ji Yuan silently thought to himself.

”With such fierce fighting here, won’t it attract other Golden Core Zhenren?” Ji Yuan asked through sound transmission while controlling the Flying Boat to follow Dong Qian.

”No, the means laid by the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren trapped us and isolated outside detection.”

Dong Qian explained.

”Then those remaining Demon Cultivators... let’s deal with them too.”

Ji Yuan, being kind-hearted, thought that even if these Demon Cultivators escaped, they would be like rats crossing the street, so it was better to liberate them early.

”I’ve already killed them.”

Dong Qian said calmly, as if stating a trivial matter.

Ji Yuan paused slightly, immediately realizing something.

When they were heading north from the entrance earlier, those Demon Cultivators were still alive. When did Dong Qian act?
