Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 786 - 328: Fleeing to the Extreme Abyss

After a long while.

After the third use of the Escape Heaven Shuttle was completed, Ji Yuan looked at the boundless Endless Sea and finally decided not to continue using the Escape Heaven Shuttle.

Firstly, because there was only one use left for the Escape Heaven Shuttle’s Talisman Treasure, and secondly because... they had arrived at the extreme eastern part of Jiyuan Continent, near the Fallen Immortal Gully.

The sky above the Fallen Immortal Gully was filled with heaven-reaching fierce winds, and beneath the sea surface was the bottomless Fallen Immortal Gully, with countless Sea Beast Water Sabers, it was an absolute forbidden area for cultivators.

Ji Yuan released his Divine Sense and probed the Fallen Immortal Gully, quickly locating the position marked on the Sea Map.

Earlier, the Old Demon who crossed the sea took Ji Yuan there once, and later he took Du Wanyi to Extreme Abyss Continent, thus traversing it again.

Having gone twice, he naturally became a bit familiar with it.

"Run, why have you stopped running?"

Dragged by this chain all the way, Jiang Hong’s face looked somewhat unpleasant.

After all, to withstand the fierce winds all the way, he had been activating his Protective Talisman, a Treasure Pearl emitting a brilliant azure light.

On it, not only was there Protective Spirit Light, but it also emitted dense Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi with rich life force.

Ji Yuan had long noticed this and had been targeting it.

"Run?"

Ji Yuan coldly sneered and said, "Just do not think of running later!"

"Arrogant!"

Seeing that Qiu Qianhai in front really had no intention to run, Jiang Hong hurriedly dispersed the chain, which was a significant drain to maintain.

Watching the chain disappear, Ji Yuan took action.

Previously, while stepping on the Sky-Breaking Flying Boat, he almost instantly reached Jiang Hong’s side; for short-distance movement, his speed surpassed even Escape Light by several degrees!

"Ah—"

Jiang Hong watched as Qiu Qianhai, who was very far away just a second ago, suddenly appeared in front of him, yet he did not use the Flying Boat anymore.

He... Controlling the Sky!

Did he achieve Core Formation?!

Just as this thought emerged in Jiang Hong’s mind, he saw Qiu Qianhai strike; a seemingly mundane punch landed on the Protective Spirit Light.

Just one punch.

The light shield emitted by the Treasure Pearl was shattered, and the punch’s shadow even came close to Jiang Hong’s chest.

Facing imminent life and death.

The Jade Token hanging on Jiang Hong’s chest suddenly lit up, revealing a second layer of Protective Spirit Light, which blocked this fatal blow, but the unabsorbed force within still pushed Jiang Hong back dozens of miles.

Just as Ji Yuan contemplated taking advantage and seeing if he could break Jiang Hong’s Protective Jade Token, suddenly, a pressure descended.

For a moment, Ji Yuan was unable to move under the pressure.

"I don’t care who you are, if you dare kill my Blood Lady’s sole offspring, even if it’s at the ends of the earth, I’ll certainly tear you to pieces!"

A sharp voice, like a woman cursing, exploded above the sea surface.

Especially that last sentence, it directly entered Ji Yuan’s mind, causing his internal organs to tremble with displacement.

His throat felt sweet, and he forcibly swallowed the fresh blood, then he used Yu Wu to activate a Qi Blood Pill, swallowing it into his stomach, the Elixir turning into pure Blood Qi spreading.

Fortunately, the powerful pressure soon dissipated.

This aura... It wasn’t the Blood Lady arriving, but a Divine Thought she left in the Jade Token earlier, now the Jade Token activated, naturally revealing the Divine Thought.

"I have to admit, among my peers I’ve fought, you, Qiu Qianhai, are the best."

From afar, Jiang Hong, who just settled in place, slowly floated upward.

His previously upright hair, for some unknown reason, had draped over his shoulders, freely fluttering in the fierce wind, while around him appeared visible strands of blood-colored Spiritual Qi.

"Stronger than the Demon Flame Palace’s Hua Yaoyue and White Bone Sect’s Ye Wutian, a person like you in Shang Dong wouldn’t go unnoticed."

"So much nonsense!"

Ji Yuan cursed quietly, following which he stepped forward, and a dark golden armor immediately enveloped him thoroughly from head to toe.

How could he not notice Jiang Hong’s intention to unleash a big attack?

However, this spell required considerable effort, so Jiang Hong tried relying on words to delay some casting time.

Seeing through it, Ji Yuan would naturally not give him the chance!

"Go!"

Jiang Hong silently cursed, following which two streaks of blood light flew from the Storage Bag at his waist, landing in front of him, transforming into two early-stage Core Formation Corpse Puppets.

A man and a woman, both having middle-aged appearances.

Their faces were ashen, their eyes burning with green ghostly fire.

Their bodies transformed into Escape Light, blocking Ji Yuan’s way.

"Scram!"

Ji Yuan’s figure spun in mid-air, he clenched his fists and launched them separately.

The two corpse puppets driven by Jiang Hong had no time to react before being slammed on the forehead by the iron fist wrapped in Spirit Devouring Armor.

"Bang—"

"Bang—"

The sound was like smashing a watermelon; the protective ghostly fire of the corpse puppets, along with their skulls, couldn’t withstand Ji Yuan’s punch and shattered into pieces, their forms flying backward.

"What?!"

Taken aback, Jiang Hong, who was still casting spells in the distance, had thoroughly lost his composure.

"You... what kind of technique is this!"

Jiang Hong wasn’t unfamiliar with power; he had seen Nascent Soul cultivators clash when his parents fought.

But he had never encountered such an eerie method... No trace of mana fluctuations, yet it could instantly kill two Early-stage Core Formation corpse puppets.

Is this even human!

After dealing with the two corpse puppets, Jiang Hong was right in front of Ji Yuan.

Seeing the chance for revenge was within reach, Ji Yuan noticed that from the west of the Endless Sea, in the direction he came from... a massive blood-colored escape light was quickly approaching.

As it flew over the sea, its power seemed to split the water in two.

A Nascent Soul Monster has arrived!

Such strong fluctuations in aura must be the work of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Damn it.

Damn it!

Clearly, the chance for revenge was right in front!

Ji Yuan looked at Jiang Hong ahead and also saw the rapidly approaching escape light.

The fear of death ultimately outweighed his desire for revenge.

Already near his target, he swung his large hand, unleashing a sky-full of Celestial Thunder Seeds towards Jiang Hong. At the same time, the Celestial Poison Needle Magical Treasure was also sent out by Ji Yuan.

This time, there’s no return.

Under a thunderstorm, Jiang Hong would definitely protect his head and heart with all his might; these spots are likely unreachable. In that case, he might as well aim elsewhere!

Ji Yuan thought, allowing Blood Luo King and Blood Lady to conceive a child is pretty good!

Celestial Poison Needle Magical Treasure, go!

"Boom boom boom—"

Above the calm sea, suddenly fell a barrage of thunderstorms, their power far more terrifying than the storm area surrounding Ice and Fire Island!

Ji Yuan didn’t count exactly how many Celestial Thunder Seeds he threw.

But presumably, there were 200.

As he tossed out these Celestial Thunder Seeds, he shrank into the Mountain of Mind and Heart, then drove his Lifebound Magical Treasure straight into the boundless wind curtain.

He crashed into the spot marked on the Sea Map.

And behind him.

No matter how strong Jiang Hong’s protective methods were, he didn’t last long under the countless thunderstorms.

As his form turned charred, Blood Lady finally arrived.

She swung her right hand, and a magnificent saber beam cleared the thunderstorms smoothly.

But then, she saw Jiang Hong looking like he was cooked.

She embraced her legitimate son with both arms, the familiar scent of grilled meat wafting into her nose.

"You dare seek death!!!"

Blood Lady’s sharp cry echoed across the wasteland, and west of Fallen Immortal Gully in the Endless Sea, a massive wave rose abruptly.

...

Meanwhile.

Aboard a distant Flying Boat countless miles away.

The previously closed-eyed Hua Yaoyue quietly opened her eyes, and her Divine Sense infiltrated the Storage Bag to see a piece of once-decayed wood pushing out a tender green leaf shoot.

"Wonderful, while the master hasn’t arrived at Desolate Ancient Continent, you, the disciple, have died?"

"Oh well, death is good too; just consider it changing into someone else and living again."

Hua Yaoyue spoke, subconsciously looking north.

Not knowing what she was thinking.
