Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 273 The Power of the Third Gear [Psionic Cannon] [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

The first to charge forward was still the fearless Ran Kui, but this time it was a little different.

The moment he stood up from the ground, a phantom image of a wine cup appeared on his body, protecting him. At the same time, a bundle of a woman's hair appeared in his hand.

"He's really courting death."

The old demon who crossed the sea sneered, but his hands did not stop moving.

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, surrounded by spiritual energy. Then, several dozen feet in front of him, two magic swords formed from black mist appeared, one on the left and one on the right, stabbing straight at Ran Kui.

It pierced through countless dark clouds.

Previously, Ran Kui had exhausted all his means to defend against every killing move of this old demon who crossed the sea, but this time he did not even try to dodge.

Holding his long black hair, he went straight up to her.

They were fearless and reckless, or rather, they were... courting death.

Seeing this, the old demon of the sea naturally thought that he was going to fight to the death, and then he felt relieved, because if the two magic swords pierced into this guy's body, they could instantly drain his spiritual energy.

But it was at this moment that...

It was accompanied by a soft "ding".

These two black magic swords were actually blocked by the seemingly weak and dim phantom of the wine cup!

The old demon of the sea instantly perked up, because he sensed a familiar aura emanating from the wine cup. That aura had a common name: Nascent Soul Old Monster!

In other words, there is a Nascent Soul cultivator standing behind this guy!

Otherwise, where would such a protective treasure come from?

Immediately afterwards, a phantom image of a wine cup lit up on Feng Zhitao and Yun Qianzai, and then they stepped onto a flying boat and charged towards the thick black fog in the sky.

The three of them killed a demon together.

……

at the same time.

On Forget-Worry Island, in the extremely remote Water Dragon Sect, a tall woman in a white dress, who had been dozing with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

An almost tangible killing intent flashed across the island, instantly killing many bees and butterflies that were gathering nectar.

Hua Yaoyue sensed the direction briefly, then took a step forward, and her figure appeared above the clouds. She transformed into a snow-white divine light, streaking across the sky and plummeting straight to the east.

Wherever it passed, thunder rumbled and echoed through the sky.

The cultivators above the Core Formation stage within the Water Dragon Sect all looked up, their eyes filled with panic.

This also included Xuan Shui Zhenren in the main hall of Shuilong Island. However, before he could perceive it in detail, he discovered that a figure had appeared out of thin air in his hall.

He seemed to think he had misread it, paused for a moment, and then hurriedly came out from behind the desk, bowed to the old woman, and paid his respects.

"Disciple Xuan Shui greets Ancestor."

Kong Xifeng squinted at the Water Dragon Sect leader before her and asked softly, "What tasks did you assign to Hua Yaoyue's disciples?"

"Senior Sister Wangyou?"

Master Xuan Shui stood up, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly understood something.

"Something terrible has happened on Black Dragon Island!"

"Oh."

Kong Xifeng chuckled and disappeared. When she reappeared, she was already in the sky.

Standing on the void, she raised her cane and gently tapped it down. An invisible wave spread out, and all traces and strange phenomena left by Hua Yaoyue disappeared.

Everything returns to nothingness.

She couldn't help but wonder to herself... Just who is this Hua Yaoyue? She's only been in the Nascent Soul stage for a short time, yet she's already so powerful?

"If another one or two hundred years pass, what will the demonic path and the merchant court have to do with it?"

"..."

Black Dragon Island.

Ji Yuan, dressed in a long black robe, stood atop the precipice, gazing up at the life-or-death battle that spanned vast realms. The moment Ran Kui stood up, Ji Yuan had already retrieved his strongest killing move from his storage bag…

[Psionic Cannon]!

His Level 2 [Psionic Cannon] is divided into three tiers.

The first tier is equivalent to the early stage of the Golden Core realm, the second tier is equivalent to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, and the third tier is equivalent to the peak stage of the Golden Core realm.

Last time, he only activated the second gear once, and he successfully killed the Heavenly Silkworm Master.

But this time, facing the formidable Crossing the Sea Demon, whose strength is unknown... Ji Yuan decides to activate Gear Three!

If we're going to do it, we have to do it the hardest!

It's just 10000 mid-grade spirit stones!

I have plenty!

Upon sensing the psionic cannon that Ji Yuan had taken out, the three people on the sky had only one thought in their minds: ... It's safe!

In particular, this psionic cannon looks quite extraordinary, far superior to the ordinary psionic cannons placed on the city walls.

With the wine cups given to them by Hua Yaoyue, they were able to deal with the old demon of the sea with considerable ease, because this fellow simply could not break through their defenses.

So there were even gaps in the conversation.

When Yun Qianzai saw the [Spirit Energy Cannon] that Ji Yuan had taken out, he had already begun to transmit his voice to Feng Zhitao and Ran Kui. He calmly said:

"Is it powerful? I gave it to you."

But only the Old Demon Crossing the Sea responded to him.

"Who?!"

"Whose disciples are you anyway? When did such a protective Nascent Soul True Monarch appear on the Canglu Continent? Damn it, don't you need to cultivate anymore? Your whole focus is on your disciples, isn't it?!"

Admittedly, the old demon who crossed the sea was somewhat vulnerable.

On one hand, he thought of his former "master," and on the other hand, he was really held back by these three lousy guys in front of him.

On the ground... he also saw the psionic cannon!

The moment Ji Yuan took out the [Spirit Energy Cannon], he had already activated it.

Infuse with spiritual energy.

With a "click" sound.

The silver ring on the base slowly rose up.

The originally dull silver ring now shone with a silvery-white light.

[Psionic Cannon]...Activate!

Then there was no need to hesitate any longer; he simply filled the silver halo of the psionic cannon with spirit stones to power it.

Ji Yuan stood guard beside the spirit energy cannon, his right hand reaching out. Immediately, the mid-grade spirit stone flew out of his sleeve like a long river, finally disappearing into the light circle.

The spiritual energy was naturally absorbed by the [Spirit Energy Cannon], and the remaining powder was swept away by the violent mountain wind.

Ji Yuan's heart bled as he watched this scene.

He is breathing now, but he feels that he is breathing not air, but spirit stones!

Every second, hundreds of spirit stones turn into powder and dissipate.

To fill this [Spirit Energy Cannon], the total cost would be tens of thousands of spirit stones.

What kind of wealthy battle is this?

Ji Yuan has never fought before in his life.

While replenishing the empty [Psionic Cannon], he took the opportunity to recall the Soul-Devouring Bees he had released earlier.

This is a real treasure. Many people died or were injured when it was shone on by that three-eyed dark beast.

He worried that the old demon might launch a last-ditch counterattack and kill all the Soul-Devouring Bees, which would be a greater loss than gain.

He was waiting, waiting for the [Psionic Cannon] to finish charging.

But the old demon of the sea could not wait any longer; if he waited any longer, he would be waiting to die!

...How awful!

It wasn't the same body as before, and the awakening was so fast that there wasn't even time to refine the natal magic weapon.

For a moment, the old demon who crossed the sea even resented that old demon Situ. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have woken up so quickly.

Moreover, it was a battle fought unprepared right after waking up.

So when he saw the three of them attacking him again, he finally resorted to a desperate, all-or-nothing move.

He brought his right index and middle fingers together, and a flash of light cut his fingers.

Although no blood spilled, he continued to smear smears on his body, as if carving runes.

Having fought countless battles with the demonic path, Ran Kui naturally knew what to do upon seeing this situation.

"Let's do it."

He sent a message through his mind and then threw the lock of hair he was holding.

Without his control, the hair instantly took root in the void and began to grow wildly.

The hair that grew out of it was like hemp ropes, wrapping the body of the old demon who crossed the sea layer by layer.

In the time it takes to breathe, the old demon turned into a black cocoon.

Seeing this, Feng Zhitao and Yun Qianzai also used their own methods to trap the enemy.

Among them, Feng Zhi Tao's method was to use a jade ghee carved with dragons and phoenixes. Its color was bright blue, and it had a lid that opened at the top and bottom. After she threw it out, the jade ghee grew larger in the wind.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into the size of a human body, its upper and lower parts folding together.

Just as they were about to imprison the old demon who had crossed the sea, the hair binding him suddenly burst into flames.

Wisps of black flame appeared, and in the blink of an eye, the hair burst into flames.

Ran Kui subconsciously used water magic to create water from the void, but the black fire burned even more fiercely after coming into contact with the water, which was completely useless.

In an instant.

The black cocoon burned through, and the body of the Old Demon Crossing the Sea reappeared before everyone's eyes, but this time he was even more sinister.

The robes on his body were removed, revealing a bare upper body with dark patterns, a bald head, black fingernails, and black flames burning in his eyes.

Secret method of corpse refining.

The point is to refine one's own body into a corpse!

This greatly increased Wei's strength.

Just now, seeing that something was wrong, Feng Zhitao quickly closed the jade nectar together.

But the result?

With a sinister grin, the old demon of the sea suddenly grew taller, transforming from a thin, hunched figure into a giant several feet tall in an instant.

He braced the jade lid with his hands and blocked the jade box with his legs.

He completely blocked the closing of the jade nectar.

However, this also exposed his entire body, making him vulnerable all over.

"A great opportunity!"

Upon seeing this, Ran Kui's eyes lit up, and he immediately activated the magic weapon, the Heavenly Poison Needle.

The fine needle, transformed into green light, instantly pierced the forehead of the old demon who crossed the sea.

Just when Ran Kui thought he was about to succeed, the poisoned needle only pierced the tip and could not penetrate any further.

"this……"

Did he use his body to block the magic weapon?

Although Ran Kui found it hard to believe, he had no choice but to accept it at that moment.

The green light on the poison needle, symbolizing venom, disappeared at a visible speed.

Rather than saying that the old demon was poisoned, it would be more accurate to say that he... absorbed the venom!

On the other side, Feng Zhitao and Yun Qianzai also unleashed their techniques and methods, but they were all aimed at the body of the Old Demon Crossing the Sea.

They couldn't even break through the defenses, just like when that old demon attacked them before.

"drink--"

With a low shout, the old demon of the sea exerted his strength, breaking free from the jade nectar and shattering it from top to bottom.

He broke free of his restraints, chuckling strangely. In a flash, he turned and appeared before Feng Zhitao.

A fist engulfed in black flames was thrown out.

Feng Zhitao's body was instantly sent flying dozens of feet away!

If it weren't for the protective measures given to her by Hua Yaoyue, that punch would have been enough to kill her ten times over.

Ran Kui frantically transmitted his voice.

"No, does anyone have any other tricks up their sleeve? If we don't trap him soon, Junior Brother's psionic cannon will have been a waste!"

"We all have to die!"

He used all his protective techniques to shield himself, but he was still blasted away by the old demon who crossed the sea with a single punch.

Since I've decided to be an iron turtle, the fastest way is naturally to kick it away!

Having dealt with these two troublesome obstacles, the old demon of the sea turned his gaze to the ground.

As for the remaining array cultivator... he didn't even notice him.

"I'll do it!"

Yun Qianzai suddenly spoke, "Remember to...save me later."

After saying that, he put away the array plate, took a step forward, and then took out a demon core with strange patterns from his storage bag and swallowed it in one gulp.

In an instant, his aura surged, and he transformed into a gigantic sea beast.

It was a terrifying monster covered in tentacles.

His skin looked like lumps of rotten flesh, covered with bumps and lumps.

As soon as he appeared, he used all his tentacles to create a cage, enveloping the old demon of the sea layer by layer.

"This...this isn't an octopus."

Feng Zhitao flew over and looked at the scene with astonishment.

"The second son does have some tricks up his sleeve."

With blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth, Ran Kui looked down at the mountaintop below.

No sooner said than done.

The Golden Core cultivators appeared to have been fighting for a long time, but in reality, it had only taken a few breaths.

Now, after spending another 10235 mid-grade spirit stones, Ji Yuan has finally finished charging the [Spirit Energy Cannon].

At this moment, the halo in the very center of the [Psionic Cannon] had become so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it with the naked eye.

It's much stronger than when I was in second gear before.

Ji Yuan could even feel the [Psionic Cannon] vibrating wildly.

If this attack succeeds, that's fine; if it fails... this broken thing will probably never be able to activate third gear again.

We need to keep searching for new [Psionic Cannons].

As the "gunner," Ji Yuan's consciousness was attached to the psionic cannon, and his vision naturally changed as well.

Having learned from his previous experience with the cannon, he aimed the aperture directly at the sky.

At this moment, the third-tier sea beast that Yun Qianzai had transformed into was completely surrounding the Old Demon Crossing the Sea.

Faced with death, the latter also fought back desperately.

Therefore, in just two breaths, the tentacles that the sea monster had grown had already withered considerably.

Black fire burned out from it.

"Junior brother... release!"

Yun Qianzai said with difficulty through telepathy.

Since he said that, he won't die.

Having already aimed the cannon at Yun Qianzai's plan, Ji Yuan no longer hesitated.

"put!"

His mind settled.

The entire [Psionic Cannon] instantly fell silent, and all the light concentrated in the very center, turning into a tiny dot.

Then came a terrifyingly loud bang.

"boom--"

The entire mountain collapsed instantly, and Ji Yuan even felt that the whole mountain had sunk several meters.

It has countless cracks.

The sound of the [Psionic Cannon] made his eardrums bleed, and the cannon itself was charred black, with numerous cracks appearing around its aura.

It won't be long.

Only now did Ji Yuan dare to look up and see the final outcome.

The energy burst from the [Psionic Cannon] had already pierced the sky and entered the boundless void.

The sea beast that Yun Qianzai transformed into... had most of its tentacles dissipated by the spiritual light, forming a circular hole in the middle.

The Old Demon Crossing the Sea... has disappeared.

Oh no, there was also a severed hand that fell off the sea monster and crashed into the ground.

Ran Kui and Feng Zhitao were stunned by what they saw.

So much so that he didn't even realize that the wine cups on his body had run out of energy.

With a flash of white light, Yun Qianzai transformed back into human form.

Slightly dead.

He could no longer be detected breathing, and he fell straight to the ground.

Feng Zhitao realized what was happening and quickly bent down to hug him.

The three of them finally returned to Ji Yuan's side.

Feng Zhitao, whose injuries were slightly less severe, quickly took out an improved Qi and Blood Pill given to her by Ji Yuan and put it into Yun Qianzai's mouth, circulating her spiritual energy to help him refine it.

As for Ran Kui, he knelt down as soon as he landed.

His pores opened, and countless drops of blood squeezed out.

His entire body was instantly stained red with blood, and he hurriedly took out a Qi and Blood Pill to save his life.

Ji Yuan, who was the least injured, stepped forward, just about to help Ran Kui heal his wounds.

But just then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the severed hand of the Old Demon Crossing the Sea had suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"scare--"

He leaned back instinctively.

But it was too late. The severed hand, as if alive, grabbed his throat and dragged him straight eastward.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the vast East China Sea.

Belatedly realizing what was happening, Feng Zhitao looked up and quickly said:

"Junior Brother... has been captured!"
