Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 980: Chapter 371: Breakthrough, Late-stage Muscle Forging Realm!

He leaned back and fell directly to the ground.

Exhausted.

This time he was truly exhausted.

Earlier, while cutting through the enemies, he still held onto that remaining energy, clinging to that breath.

But now, that breath dispersed, and Ji Yuan felt a profound fatigue.

Until the blood energy above his head, that blood sphere, entered Ji Yuan’s body.

Only when the pure blood energy spread within him did he completely feel comfortable.

It was comfort throughout his entire body.

Almost as if his whole being was immersed in warm water, like receiving rain after a long drought.

Unconsciously, Ji Yuan had already fallen asleep.

He had no idea how much time had passed, but when he woke up again, he found that his wounds had already disappeared, along with his physique… Late-stage Muscle Forging Realm!

Did I break through?!

Did I finally break through?!

The overwhelming blood qi within him couldn’t deceive him, and not only that, those old blood deposits in various parts of his body were now refined. The whole body had once again returned to a state of completeness.

Lying on the ground, Ji Yuan jumped up like a carp.

But before he could steady himself, five Bronze Long Sabers slashed toward him.

He tapped his foot, his figure flew backward, but before he could react, a sharp pain struck from his shoulder, forcing him to elevate his position.

But before he could observe, those Bronze Armored Warriors on the ground followed him into the air, swinging their Bronze Sabers, slashing at Ji Yuan one after another.

“Damn it, how is the mid-stage Muscle Forging Realm this strong!”

Looking at these fiercely aggressive Bronze Armored Warriors in front of him, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit panicked.

Earlier, he could still kill early-stage Muscle Forging Realm Black Iron Armored Warriors with difficulty, but these Bronze Armored Warriors… Ji Yuan at the late-stage Muscle Forging Realm even felt he couldn’t kill them.

Fighting one-on-one is certainly okay, but with so many Bronze Armored Warriors at once, it’s impossible.

No way, it’s impossible.

Watching these Bronze Armored Warriors coming to kill him, Ji Yuan did not retreat but advanced, dodging forward again… Barehanded struggle… struggle, I struggle again… damn it, the struggle failed!

Ji Yuan exerted himself several times, finding that the saber remained motionless, evidently gripped firmly by the Bronze Armored Warrior.

The strength of these Bronze Armored Warriors… enormous!

Ji Yuan felt they might even surpass his former mid-stage Muscle Forging Realm self, yet I’m cultivating the “Nine Revolutions Mysterious Yang”!

Could it be that the Bronze Armor worn by these armored warriors has some special significance?

Ji Yuan couldn’t discern and had no time to ponder, because in just that blink of an eye, the other warriors pursued him, forcing him to dodge again, using close combat techniques to forcefully kill one of the Bronze Armored Warriors, finally snatching a Bronze Saber from its hand.

But the cost of this was several deep wounds on his body.

Ji Yuan originally thought that after acquiring a saber, even if he couldn’t gain the upper hand, he would at least not be chased.

But soon, he realized he was wrong, and very wrong.

Because he found that even with a saber, it was useless; in front of these Bronze Armored Warriors, it seemed he didn’t know how to wield a saber at all.

In just a brief moment, Ji Yuan’s right hand wielding the saber was almost reduced to bone by their sticky saber technique.

… He was completely outmatched, and continuing to fight held little meaning; it would be better to return and familiarize himself with the physique of the Muscle Forging Realm before trying again.

With the thought of retreat, Ji Yuan was prepared to leave.

But at that moment, a mocking voice suddenly echoed in the vast, empty stone chamber.

“After countless centuries of drifting, the Martial God Tower finally welcomed a newcomer… I thought you were some astonishingly talented prodigy, but unexpectedly, you’re such trash?”

The sudden voice stunned Ji Yuan subconsciously.

He stopped, but the Bronze Armored Warriors in front of him did not, taking what they thought was an opportunity to all slash forward.

Some aimed at Ji Yuan’s neck, some at his head.

Some even attempted to strike his lower body.

“Get out!”

A rebuke suddenly exploded in the spacious stone chamber.

As the sound fell, all the Bronze Armored Warriors turned into flying ash and dissipated, along with the chipped Bronze Long Saber in Ji Yuan’s hand, disappearing altogether.

“Who… are you?”

Ji Yuan looked up, tentatively asking.

“Why do you care who I am?” The voice sounded extremely arrogant, “I’m telling you, people like you entering the Martial God Tower is simply an insult!”

“From now on, you can’t come in anymore, understand?!”

Ji Yuan thought briefly about his journey, and in his heart had some guesses about the sudden voice.

If expected correctly, it is most likely the Artifact Spirit of the Martial God Tower.

Otherwise, how could it make all these Bronze Armored Warriors retreat?

But if that’s the case, then my hard-won chance from upgrading the architecture has been destroyed by a single sentence from the Artifact Spirit?!

This can’t happen.

This is unacceptable.

And if you think about it, the trials in the Martial God Tower, with these warriors, should be the “underlying logic” of the tower, meaning I could come back again to continue challenging.

But Ji Yuan didn’t dare gamble, so after thinking it over, he could only smile wryly and say, “Senior, if I were truly as strong as you say, why would I come to the Martial God Tower for trials?”

“Nonsense!”

The voice immediately retorted, “Even those with exceptional talent in body cultivation must come to the Martial God Tower for trials!”
