Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 386 The Insect Demon Determines the Fate! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

The first thing Ji Yuan took out was naturally the human skin paper. He first injected his magic power into it, and then invaded it with his soul.

Soon, Ji Yuan's mind received the second half of the "Nine Palaces Soul Suppressing Scripture". Although it was the second half, after a quick glance, he found that it was no different from a single cultivation technique.

The upper part of Ji Yuan focuses on defense and can cultivate the "Soul-Suppressing Bell" to protect the soul.

The second half of Qi Xiu's work focuses on offense, and it contains two offensive soul techniques.

One is simpler, called "God-Slaying Spear," which is a single-target attack; the other is a group attack, which is more complicated to cultivate, and is called "Soul-Devouring Needle."

Ji Yuan quickly recalled the memory.

When Qi Xiu killed those rotting corpses, he must have used the Soul-Devouring Needle.

When he came to kill him, he used this "God-Slaying Spear".

Ji Yuan focused his mind on his sea of ​​consciousness and discovered that there was still a dent on the Soul-Suppressing Bell. He thought that even if it could be restored, it would take some time.

"Soul-Devouring Needles, God-Slaying Spear... these two offensive soul-soul techniques, if I can master them, will undoubtedly become another major trump card for me!"

"Moreover, the benefits of the second half of the 'Nine Palaces Soul-Suppressing Scripture' to the soul are far less than those of the first half, the 'Soul-Suppressing Bell.' Qi Xiu can use such a technique as a trump card, but what if it were in my hands..."

Ji Yuan thought about his early Nascent Soul stage consciousness and his incredibly powerful soul. Just imagine how strong he would be to unleash this soul technique.

There's no need to elaborate on the late stage of Core Formation; Ji Yuan felt that once he mastered these two secret techniques...

With just this "Soul-Eating Needle," they should be able to create a whole bunch of movies in a second.

If he were to use the "God-Slaying Spear" technique to ambush a peak Core Formation cultivator, he might be able to kill them all in one go.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan wished he could stay in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain right now and learn these two secret techniques before leaving the mountain.

But then I think about the opportunities outside... I wonder when this Rakshasa Sea will close.

Well, I'll wait until I get out of here and find a suitable time to quietly contemplate this. Right now, my priority is to accumulate more contribution points so that I can try to exchange them for a few fourth-tier demon cores after this outer realm ends.

Then Ji Yuan took out several storage bags he had obtained along the way. He first glanced at them and took out the useful immortal resources, such as millennium spiritual milk, and put them into his own storage bag.

He then gave the remaining storage bags to Tu Yue.

Let her take her time to count them in her spare time.

After dealing with all that, Ji Yuan didn't waste time restoring his magic power; he simply swallowed a drop of the Millennium Spirit Milk.

He has plenty of these!

If not now, when?

As for mental state, a Nascent Soul stage soul shouldn't be unable to withstand even a single battle.

Not to mention that Ji Yuan ate several spiritual fruits after returning to this cave.

After a short rest, Ji Yuan flew out of his natal magic weapon and put the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain back into his dantian.

Fortunately, although the swamp has a strong corrosive effect, it cannot damage the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

But just as Ji Yuan emerged, the voice of the ghost messenger rang out again in the sky above his sea of ​​consciousness.

This time, however, the tone was no longer cold.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected that among the Core Formation cultivators who came in this time, there would be someone like you."

"To have the soul of a Nascent Soul stage by the mid-stage of Core Formation is fine, after all, he is a disciple of my Yin Ghost Sect and has cultivated the Nine Palaces Soul Suppressing Scripture."

"I was incredibly lucky to get Lightning Chaser, but I don't know if I'll have a chance to get Starstepper."

A sinister voice rang out, seemingly filled with its own satisfaction.

"Not only that, he's a body cultivator at the Tendon Forging Realm, and now he even possesses such precious items as cave-heaven treasures. Back then, even the young master of our Yin Ghost Sect probably didn't have such wealth and strength. Tell me, kid, you're not from this Extreme Abyss Continent, are you?"

Ji Yuan listened to the voice echoing in his sea of ​​consciousness, remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

"I am indeed not from the Abyss Continent."

"Heh, I knew it." The ghost messenger let out a laugh of complete control. "It's better that you're not from such a place. The Abyss Continent is such a poor and desolate place that they don't even speak the official language of the human world. It's like a remote and impoverished backwater. It's just the best that you're not from such a place."

Ji Yuan didn't know what it was trying to say, so he didn't say anything at this moment.

The ghost messenger then spoke to himself:

"Alright, seeing that you're a smart person and possess my Yin Ghost Sect's Thousand Soul Banner, I can't hide my collection of Yin Souls from you. As for the specifics of how to do it, I'm sure you understand, right?"

Hearing these seemingly threatening words, Ji Yuan remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:

"This matter is known only to Heaven, Earth, and myself, and will never be known to a third party. Please rest assured, Senior."

"Very good."

Although he couldn't see it, Ji Yuan sensed that the ghost messenger seemed to nod in satisfaction. "In that case, I won't arrange any more coincidences for you, how about that?"

Ji Yuan's lips twitched involuntarily.

"You're quite generous, senior."

"You already know, so there's no need to hide it from you anymore," the ghost messenger said frankly.

"However..." Ji Yuan changed the subject, "If I really meet a fellow Daoist who is destined to be with me, senior, you can give me some pointers."

"What, you want to become the next Qi Xiu?"

"That's not necessarily a bad thing."

Ji Yuan chuckled.

"Alright, if you have the chance, help me kill a few more people. You'll definitely get your share of the contribution points."

As soon as the ghost finished speaking, a wisp of his aura was about to be drawn away from the sky above Ji Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

Ji Yuan quickly said:

"Senior, could you please transfer all of Qi Xiu's contribution points to me, considering I finally managed to kill him?"

"Heh, kid, being too greedy isn't a good habit."

As the ghost spoke, his smile grew colder.

"Rules must not be disregarded!"

"Okay... then."

The other party refused to listen, and Ji Yuan had no choice but to let the ghost messenger leave.

Only after he left did Ji Yuan take out his identity jade tablet, infuse it with his magic power, and the words on it appeared.

Silver Thirteen: Nine Hundred and Sixty-Seven

It'll be soon!

Once you have 1000 contribution points, you can exchange them for a Tier 4 early-stage demon core.

The opportunity to upgrade [Spirit Field] is right in front of you.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It would have been better if he had killed Qi Xiu in this inner region.

He must have over 1000 contribution points. Once we get his, we'll have two early-stage fourth-tier demon cores.

But for now, I can only continue the killing myself.

Ji Yuan put away his identity jade token, quickly determined the direction, and chose to continue deeper into the swamp.

With the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder in his hand, he felt as if he could kill any god or Buddha he encountered.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ji Yuan finally understood what it meant to have his eyes sore from chopping up rotten corpses. At first, he used the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, but later he felt it was too wasteful and a waste of talent.

They chose to burn it with the Yin Corpse Demon Fire.

This method is good, but it consumes some magical power, so he arranged for himself to use the millennium spiritual milk.

They traveled all the way, burning everything in their path.

Two days later, Ji Yuan clearly felt that he could no longer burn the fire.

Because the rotting corpses he encountered in the vicinity were mostly in the late stage of Core Formation, or even the peak stage of Core Formation.

On one occasion, he even encountered two corpses at the peak of the Core Formation stage. If it weren't for his Lightning Chaser, he might have been in dire straits.

On that day, Ji Yuan had just burned two late-stage Core Formation stage corpses to death and was preparing to rest there for a while.

But just then, the ghost's aura suddenly swept across the entire swamp.

Immediately following this, Ji Yuan's cold voice rang out in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"The first Poisonous Corpse King has appeared. The person who kills it will receive 1000 contribution points and the qualification to enter the Inner Domain first. The Inner Domain is located in Rakshasa City, where there are many treasures and opportunities. First come, first served."

As soon as the voice fell, Ji Yuan felt the identity jade token in his storage bag move.

He quickly took it out and saw that the front of his team members, which had been displayed, was now lit up by itself.

This time there are only two dots, one green and one red.

...The green dot is most likely me, and the red dot is that Poisonous Corpse King.

With 1000 contribution points, you can be among the first to enter the inner domain.

Isn't this just playing your cards right out of the box?

Without needing an explanation, Ji Yuan already knew the purpose of the ghost messenger's actions; it simply felt that not enough people had died or been injured yet.

Now that the Poisonous Corpse King has appeared, it has even provided a map and markings.

I'm afraid everyone in the neighborhood will want to go and take a look. Once everyone gets together... there won't be any need for the ghost to create conflict.

"This is a truly top-tier, overt strategy."

Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Putting everything else aside, those 1000 contribution points alone would probably be enough to tempt most cultivators.

Given Ji Yuan's cunning nature, his immediate thought was naturally not to go.

Firstly, it would be too risky for cultivators to gather in the past.

Secondly, since this Poisonous Corpse King appears as a major boss, its cultivation level must be quite high.

Ji Yuan felt that even if he moved on, it wouldn't be good to take advantage of the situation.

But as soon as this thought arose, another idea came to mind.

"If I think this way, what if everyone else thinks the same way? Then wouldn't no one bother to defeat the Poisonous Corpse King?"

"...Never mind, I'll just take a peek from a distance. I'm not going to get close, I'll just use my divine sense to look from afar."

This method is the safest.

Having made up his mind, Ji Yuan summoned Zhu Dian. With a flash of lightning, his figure immediately disappeared from the spot.

"Looking at the mountain makes one run until the horse dies."

Ji Yuan and the Poisonous Corpse King appeared to be very close on the map, but he only realized how far they were when he actually started moving.

It took eight attempts to reach the edge of the electric field.

Ji Yuan put the concealing hat on his head, cast an invisibility spell, and then released his divine sense to search in all directions.

As a result, his divine sense only extended for less than a hundred miles before he discovered dozens of Core Formation cultivators rushing towards the location of the Poisonous Corpse King.

Some went with two or three friends, but the vast majority went alone.

Clearly, they didn't trust anyone in this Rakshasa Sea.

As Ji Yuan continued to release his divine sense, and when he located the location of the Poisonous Corpse King, he suddenly felt that... if things continued to develop like this, there might be an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Ji Yuan first sensed the cultivation level of this Poisonous Corpse King. It was stronger than the peak of the Core Formation stage, but weaker than the Nascent Soul stage.

If I had to give it a definition, I'd say it's like a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator.

The cultivators currently besieging and killing this Poisonous Corpse King are all at the peak of the Core Formation stage. After all, if it were someone at the late Core Formation stage, they would likely be injured upon contact.

The Core Formation cultivator whom Ji Yuan recognized, who was besieging and killing the Poisonous Corpse King, was Yan Zhirou in a room on Tian Sha Mountain.

Also, Ji Yuan's good senior brother, Ma Gui, was there.

Then there's Yin Gu Shangren. At this moment, his body is half crippled, so he can only hide far away and attack with the nine chains behind him.

With little success.

Ji Yuan didn't know how long they had been fighting, only that the Poisonous Corpse King was already injured, with several wounds all over his body.

In contrast, these besieging cultivators...

Inside the room at Tian Sha Mountain, a layer of blue mist enveloped his face, as if he had been poisoned by the Corpse King's corpse poison.

"With Xun Tianji gone, I might actually have a chance to take advantage of the situation."

As Ji Yuan watched this scene, he had already devised a method in his mind.

When the Poisonous Corpse King is on the verge of death, I will use Lightning Chaser to get close in an instant, and then use Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to kill him in one blow.

Moreover, they must leave immediately after killing, without lingering for even a moment.

...It's no wonder that Ji Yuan had the idea of ​​taking a risk. Putting aside the qualification to enter the inner domain ahead of time, the 1000 contribution points alone were enough to make Ji Yuan take the risk.

Having made up his mind, Ji Yuan quietly moved closer again.

Anyway, with the bamboo hat for hiding, he wasn't worried about being discovered.

As long as it's not tens or hundreds of meters away, there's nothing to worry about.

He used his divine sense to keep an eye on the battle.

As expected, he was injured in the room. He couldn't hold on for long and had to retreat to heal and detoxify.

Before long, another unknown cultivator at the peak of the Core Formation stage arrived.

He looked like an old man in his eighties, and he joined the battle as soon as he arrived.

Relying on his natal magic weapon, which resembles a horsewhip, he fought with extreme ferocity.

About half an hour later, the room, having finished its healing process, rejoined the battle.

This is the end.

The Poisonous Corpse King had been besieged for so long that even its aura had become somewhat weak.

Ji Yuan felt that if he could see the health bar, then the Poisonous Corpse King... probably only had half a health bar left.

...If we keep killing like this, who knows who will eventually get the Corpse King?

As Ji Yuan was pondering this, the voice of the ghost messenger rang out again from above his sea of ​​consciousness.

"The second and third Corpse Kings have appeared. There are only three in total. Let's see who can succeed. Hehehe."

The ghost messenger seemed unable to suppress his joy, so much so that his voice was no longer so cold, and in the end he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ji Yuan immediately took out his identity jade token.

Two more red dots appeared on the map, and they seemed to be arranged in a "品" shape with the current red dot.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yuan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"With three Corpse Kings appearing, the remaining cultivators who haven't come yet have two more options, making it much less likely that they'll come here. Well... the main thing is that Xun Tianji won't come."

Ji Yuan had witnessed his prowess before.

Before he himself advanced to the late stage of Core Formation, Ji Yuan did not want to confront him head-on.

But at that moment, another peak Core Formation cultivator entered Ji Yuan's spiritual sense range, and his speed was also incredibly fast.

He was only twenty miles away a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, he had already killed his way to the Poisonous Corpse King.

After Ji Yuan saw his appearance clearly, he immediately became extremely alert.

Because this person comes from the Temple of Black and White.

His name is Xiao Xuan!

"He actually came too!"

The moment Ji Yuan saw him, he felt that his chances of successfully launching a sneak attack had dropped by 10% or 20%.

There's no way around it, Xun Tianji is strong, but Xiao Xuan is just as strong!

Among the Core Formation stage cultivators in the Black and White Temple, Xiao Xuan is undoubtedly the number one. This alone is enough to demonstrate his extraordinary abilities.

Now he's here too.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan subconsciously looked up. He couldn't help but wonder if it was the ghost messenger playing tricks again.

So that he wouldn't be able to launch a sneak attack so easily?

...Given its insidious nature, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

In contrast, Xiao Xuan immediately joined the battle upon arrival.

And as soon as he arrived, he made a statement.

"I, Xiao Xuan, will take this Poisonous Corpse King. You will be richly rewarded for your help!"

Upon hearing these arrogant words, the expressions of the people present immediately changed.

Whether it's Yan Zhirou in the room, or Ma Gui and Yin Gu Shangren, who among them isn't a proud and arrogant Core Formation Peak cultivator?

Everyone has a Nascent Soul stage monster standing behind them.

Finally, Yan Zhirou from Tian Sha Mountain sneered, "Leaving aside the question of first come, first served, Fellow Daoist Xiao, you've just arrived and you want to seize this opportunity empty-handed? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"

As Xiao Xuan attacked, he laughed loudly, "So what if I, Xiao Xuan, am arrogant? Yan Zhirou, if you're not convinced, let's have a fight later, to decide the winner and the loser, and even to decide life and death!"

Since Tian Sha Mountain had spoken, Ma Gui, as the representative of the Bone Nightmare Sect, felt he couldn't lose face. So, while activating the Demonic Marrow Drill in his hand, he mimicked the way the Bone Nightmare Old Demon spoke, saying in a sinister tone:

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you're not taking us seriously at all."

"I might take others seriously," Xiao Xuan said with a sneer, "but you, you bastard, don't you even know your own limitations? You've only just reached the peak of Core Formation, and you really think you're something special? If Brother Yin Gu hadn't been injured, you probably wouldn't even be able to beat him! Useless trash!"

"you!"

Ma Gui was furious.

However, the Yin Gu Master behind him said calmly, "As the number one Core Formation cultivator of the Black and White Divine Palace, Fellow Daoist Xiao should refrain from using such despicable tactics as sowing discord, lest you tarnish your own reputation."

"That makes sense. Then let's leave it at that and see who has the best skills."

After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he placed his left hand around his body and formed a hand seal, while his right hand slammed down.

In an instant, a golden handprint appeared, and with just this one move, the Poisonous Corpse King, who was comparable to a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, was shoved into the swamp.

A huge handprint, several feet deep, appeared on the surface of the swamp.

Somewhere dozens of miles away, Ji Yuan was still watching from the shadows.

But at that moment, within his spiritual senses, he suddenly noticed a strange movement coming from a corner of the swamp.

"what?"

He wondered to himself and immediately used his divine sense to search that area carefully.

He could easily have seen through that slight movement... someone else was doing the same thing as him, choosing to be a cunning predator, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

But his earlier subconscious action had given away his presence.

Within a few breaths, Ji Yuan found the person's figure in the swamp.

Covered by a blood-stained shroud, he lay on the surface of the swamp, as still as a corpse.

After a careful investigation, Ji Yuan quickly discovered the man's true identity.

An old friend, or at least we can call each other old friends.

Because he was none other than Mo Tusheng, the first Core Formation cultivator in the Soul Refining Hall, who, like himself, possessed the Yin Corpse Demon Flame.

...It seems he's been holding back, quite confident in his abilities, which is why he chose to play the role of the hunter-gatherer.

Moreover, judging from his behavior just now, he must have been a bit too excited and couldn't control his temper. In that case, we can let him make the first move later.

Given their status and position, Ma Gui and Xiao Xuan couldn't possibly be unaware that someone wanted to take advantage of them. Therefore, when it came to the final critical moment, they would most likely have a backup plan.

Ji Yuan pondered this in his heart and silently made a decision.

If that's the case, we won't be able to use the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder if we want to launch a sneak attack later.

We must use physical cultivation techniques to kill this Poisonous Corpse King in one blow.

Otherwise, even if they succeed, they won't be able to withstand their relentless bombardment.

Wearing the Soul-Devouring Armor and wielding the Vulcan Spear, this is the safest approach.

Hidden within him was a hint of anticipation.

If this battle succeeds, my name will probably resound throughout the Rakshasa Sea.

I wonder what kind of name they'll give themselves then.

In the arena, the Poisonous Corpse King flew out from the bottom of the swamp, bringing with it hundreds of rotting corpses at the Core Formation stage.

As a result, even those Core Formation cultivators who were watching from afar could not avoid it.

After the rotting corpses emerged, they flew in all directions. However, four rotting corpses at the peak of the Core Formation stage protected the Poisonous Corpse King and launched a fierce attack on Ma Gui and the others.

The battle of wits became increasingly intense.

Fortunately, Ji Yuan chose a spot far enough away to avoid being implicated.

However, having been observing the battle with his divine sense, he quickly noticed the anomaly.

Because the focus of the battle seemed to shift to the Core Formation cultivators who were watching.

There are many rotting corpses, but few cultivators.

Therefore, each Core Formation cultivator faces being surrounded and killed by several rotting corpses. Not only that, but those rotting corpses seem to be intentionally or unintentionally driving them to one place.

As they drew closer to each other, some cultivators were accidentally killed by others.

...Some cultivators have already started to flee.

The scene made them lose all interest in watching, fearing they might accidentally die there.

Another half hour passed.

They also dealt with the four rotting corpses at the peak of the Core Formation stage beside the Poisonous Corpse King.

Even the Poisonous Corpse King is nearing its limit.

One of his arms had been severed, and his entire body was covered in wounds, from which green bodily fluids continued to flow.

Every drop of bodily fluid that fell to the ground corroded a large pit in the swamp.

"The opportunity is coming soon!"

In the shadows, Ji Yuan first adjusted the bamboo hat he was wearing, then mentally summoned the Soul-Devouring Bees and Blazing Army Ants from his spirit beast pouch.

Black armor spread across his body, while a black and red spear slowly materialized in his hand.

Fortunately, there was no one around him, and the bamboo hat he was hiding in made everything happen quietly.

After a long while, Ji Yuan tightened his grip on the Vulcan Gun and used his divine sense to guide the wisp of energy on his shoulder.

Chasing electricity is also a constant readiness.

"Hey kid, so you're finally dropping your guard and getting ready to make your move?"

The voice of the ghost appeared out of nowhere.

Ji Yuan, in his own mind, solemnly declared, "Everything for the sect!"

"Once I take this Corpse King, the rest of them will harbor resentment. They won't have anyone to vent their anger on, so it's highly likely they'll fight each other."

"At that time, the senior will be able to reap the benefits in secret."

"It has to be you, kid, tsk tsk tsk." The ghost said in a sarcastic tone.

Ji Yuan then seized the opportunity to say, "If I succeed in my sneak attack later, could you please pick me up directly? After all, you said that whoever kills the Corpse King can go to the inner region ahead of time... This doesn't count as breaking the sect's rules."

Now that things have come to this, Ji Yuan has finally found the knack for getting along with the ghost messenger.

Everything is for the sect's sake, and everything is done according to the sect's rules.

These two points are enough.

"That will do. Considering you're contributing to the sect, I'll provide support for you... The opportunity has arrived!"

As soon as the ghost finished speaking, its aura was immediately withdrawn from Ji Yuan's body.

Having been keeping a close eye on Ji Yuan on the field with his divine sense, he naturally saw Xiao Xuan use his mental power to condense a yellowish-brown pebble in front of him.

The pebble spun rapidly, creating dust and sand all around, forcing Yan Zhirou and the others to avoid its sharp edge.

The time was ripe.

Xiao Xuan then gave a soft rebuke.

"go!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the pebbles shot out like arrows released from a bow.

As it left a yellowish-brown mark in mid-air, it pierced through the brow of the Poisonous Corpse King.

The Poisonous Corpse King, who could have struggled to survive, froze in place in an instant.

When Ji Yuan saw this, he panicked for a moment.

Could it be that Xiao Xuan succeeded in a single blow?!

Could it be that the space between the eyebrows is the weakness of this Poisonous Corpse King?

Ji Yuan subconsciously pondered this, and was even preparing to shout "Chase Lightning!"... But just then, he noticed that the Poisonous Corpse King's mouth moved.

Another part of the swamp.

Sensing this unusual movement, Mo Tusheng could no longer wait and ripped off the shroud covering him.

Then, he pinched a talisman between his right index and middle fingers and chanted a few words.

His figure immediately turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of the Poisonous Corpse King.

"Mo Tusheng?! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Xuan showed no panic whatsoever, only a sneer of complete control.

It wasn't just him; the rest of the group, including Ma Gui and Yan Zhirou, had all anticipated this.

Upon seeing Mo Tusheng appear, they all unleashed their powerful killing moves.

Since Mo Tusheng was prepared to take action, it was impossible for him to be completely unprepared.

Moreover, his purpose in coming here was simply to deliver the final blow, not to engage in a prolonged fight with these people.

So as soon as he appeared, he raised his hands, which were burning with Yin Corpse Demon Fire, and slammed them down on the head of the Poisonous Corpse King.

Once he made a move, Xiao Xuan and the others naturally followed suit.

First was Xiao Xuan. Upon seeing this, he summoned the pebble back and used the same method to strike Mo Tusheng's brow.

Ma Gui gripped the handle with both hands and slammed the Demon Marrow Drill into his foot. In an instant, the Demon Marrow Drill seemed to pierce through the void and appeared out of thin air above Mo Tusheng's head, as if it were about to drill right through him.

Yan Zhirou made a hand seal, vertical lines appeared between her brows, and specks of blood-red light drifted down from the corners of her eyes.

At this moment, she seemed to exude an aura of authority, and she gave a soft rebuke.

"broken!"

Mo Tusheng felt the killing moves coming one after another, and he was afraid. Under normal circumstances, even if it was just one killing move, he would have to do his best to resist it.

But right now... he only had one feeling in his mind, which was not to use his trump card again.

This is going to kill me!

But what trump card could withstand so many deadly attacks at the same time?

Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Tusheng immediately used the only... true treasure that the Soul Palace Master had left him!

The moment this treasure appeared, a seven-story black tower fell from mid-air, protecting Mo Tusheng's figure.

Xiao Xuan's pebble shattered the first layer, and Ma Gui's Demonic Marrow Drill shattered the second layer...

The black tower shattered layer by layer. Just as Mo Tusheng was thinking of taking this opportunity to kill the Poisonous Corpse King in one fell swoop, he suddenly saw a flash of lightning out of the corner of his eye.

The lightning first struck the corner of his eye, and by the time he realized it, he had already seen a figure.

A figure wearing a straw hat, black armor, and holding a fiery red spear.

The moment this person appeared, his spear pierced the chest of the Poisonous Corpse King, the immense force even sending the Corpse King flying into the air.

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone present.

Even someone as powerful as Xiao Xuan only sensed Mo Tusheng's presence when he first arrived.

He didn't perceive the strength of others, no matter how strong they were.

But now, who is this black-armored man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

Judging from his aura, he's still only in the mid-stage of Core Formation?

Ji Yuan stood on the void, holding the Fire God Spear in his right hand. With one thrust, he lifted the Poisonous Corpse King into the air, then gave the spearhead a sharp shake.

The magical power concealed the surging blood energy, and with just this one move, it shattered the corpse king's body, which was already as tattered as a broken kite, into pieces.

He then slightly raised his head, revealing the black armor covering his face that he had hidden under his bamboo hat.

He casually flicked the green corpse fluid off the Vulcan gun, letting out a hoarse laugh.

"Thank you, everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure seemed to ascend to heaven as if he were being carried by a beam of white light.

But at that moment, Mo Tusheng, belatedly realizing what was happening, hurriedly activated the remaining black tower, unleashing a black beam of light.

The black light pierced through the white light.

Ji Yuan flashed, but was already struck on the shoulder by the black light.

Its powerful destructive force shattered Ji Yuan's Soul-Devouring Armor on his shoulder in one fell swoop, and the remaining power still left his shoulder a bloody mess.

Fortunately, they were all just superficial injuries.

Guided by a white light, he rose straight into the air and disappeared quickly.

Xiao Xuan took a step forward and arrived at the place where Ji Yuan had just disappeared. He reached out and retrieved the shattered Soul Devouring Armor, gently rubbed it in his hand, and then infused it with magic power.

These Soul-Devouring Armor pieces immediately transformed into the corpses of black and gold bee demons.

Yan Zhirou and Ma Gui and the others rushed over and witnessed this scene.

"Soul-devouring bees..."

"You know her?!" Xiao Xuan immediately turned to look at Yan Zhirou.

The latter nodded slightly. "Yes, this is the Spirit-Devouring Bee, ranked forty-eighth on the list of rare insects. If cultivated using the methods of ancient cultivators, it can evolve into the Spirit-Devouring Armor. When a cultivator wears it, it can absorb the surrounding spiritual energy without being detected, and it is also an excellent protective measure."

"So, it seems this person is practicing insect cultivation techniques?"

Xiao Xuan slowly turned around, his gloomy face sweeping over Mo Tusheng, who was fleeing at top speed.

"When did our Abyss Continent produce such a... Insect Demon?"

(End of this chapter)
