Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1076: Chapter 390: Ji Yuan and Nightmare True Monarch

Where the iron hook passed, each of the Old Demon Ji was torn to pieces.

Yet immediately, more Old Demon Ji figures attacked from all directions, seemingly endless.

Mo Tusheng observed, and with one hand formed a spell.

A ring of Yin Corpse Demon Fire appeared again, burning towards all directions, extinguishing the army of Old Demon Ji in an instant.

He watched this scene, frowning, muttering to himself.

"Illusion Array?"

With that thought, he flipped his hand and took a black stone from the Storage Bag, holding it in his mouth.

With the black stone in his mouth, the scene before his eyes changed dramatically.

The figures of Old Demon Ji all turned to flying ash and disappeared, his Divine Sense scanned, looking around.

Yet... still no trace of Old Demon Ji!

The vast street was empty, not a sign to be seen.

Knowing something was amiss, he raised both hooks, crossing them before him, then spat out the stone, positioning it between the hooks.

Old Demon Ji figures densely reappeared in front of him, but he ignored them, and fiercely tore with the hooks.

The scene in front ripped like paper.

Yet at this moment, a voice sounded in his ears.

"You really think I’m dead, don’t you!"

As the words fell, roaring thunder followed.

"You son of a..."

Mo Tusheng cursed, his Heart Thought recalling the Demon Fire, while swiftly guarding himself with his hooks.

"Boom—"

A sudden Purple Sky Divine Thunder pierced through the Demon Fire, landed on his chest, but was blocked by the hooks, the collision of Mana created a storm of energy.

Though injured, Mo Tusheng was still knocked back to the ground, heavily landing.

His figure had barely touched the ground before he escaped, reappearing at the end of the street.

Still shaken, he looked back at the path he had taken... Damn, why is Old Demon Ji so ferocious!

Having fought several rounds with no advantage, Mo Tusheng had lost the will to continue.

Especially since the Purple Sky Divine Thunder perfectly counteracts the Yin Corpse Demon Fire he prides on, even extending across the Core Formation Stage.

What’s the point in continuing this fight?

Better to retreat!

Only running seemed wise, to escape and then reconsider.

With that thought, he moved, but paid no attention to... thinking he had escaped the Illusion Array.

But the result?

He hadn’t sensed his Soul Refining Cycle Array at all, though quickly fleeing he soon realized Old Demon Ji’s speed was similarly fast, almost matching his own.

He felt pursued, so reinserted the black stone in his mouth, looking back.

This time... Old Demon Ji was still there!

Proving it was real.

Meanwhile.

Outside the Inverted Dipper Array, Ji Yuan watched as Mo Tusheng fell from the second layer Tianxuan Illusion Array directly into the fifth layer Yuheng Illusion Array.

Not knowing what to say.

He weighed the black stone in his hand.

In fact, when Mo Tusheng tore through the second layer Tianxuan Illusion Array, Ji Yuan silently retrieved the black stone.

Now he watched Mo Tusheng, like a headless fly in the fifth layer Yuheng Illusion Array, thinking he had escaped to life.

Finally losing the patience to wait.

Outside the array, he remained vigilant while again using his Heart Thought to inspire five Flying Swords.

The Giant Que Sword led, followed by four more... all Giant Que.

But one was the Mother Sword, and four were Child Swords.

Ji Yuan wielded them with the Giant Sword Technique.

Five Swords United.

A brand new Giant Que Sword formed, directly breaking the array, slicing in.

In the fifth layer Yuheng Illusion Array, Mo Tusheng fleeing for the time it takes half a cup of tea found no escape from Old Demon Ji, nor encountering a single living soul... he vaguely sensed something.

Illusion Array... could it still be within the array?!

A realization dawning, he used Heart Thought to sense his Soul Refining Cycle Array, yet found nothing.

Bad news!

I should have realized earlier, but now... could this Illusion Array also affect the mind?

At this moment, Mo Tusheng halted, summoned Demon Fire, transforming it into a Serpent of Demon Fire behind him.

When Old Demon Ji attacked, it collided straight with the Demon Fire Serpent... and then, nothing?

"What?!"

Vaguely, Mo Tusheng sensed great fear.

He hurriedly looked up, seeing a Heaven-Slaying Giant Sword overhead.

Appeared out of nowhere, silently.

Such a powerful move should have triggered some Spiritual Qi fluctuation, sensing none led to only one possibility—array!

"Rumble."

Before the giant sword touched him, a vast purple thunderstorm descended...

...

After some time.

Ji Yuan fell into the array, standing on the street.

Before him only remained a scorched black spot on the ground, a burning cluster of green Demon Fire, a pair of hooks attachable to hands, an Identity Jade symbolizing Loose Cultivator status, and a Storage Bag.

This was due to his deliberate control, otherwise, even the Storage Bag might not have been preserved.
