Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1140 - 403: Chasing Lightning! Stepping Star!

The Demon Dao side dispatched the old enemy of Heavenly Fiend Old Demon, while the Righteous Dao side sent the most powerful True Monarch Xuanqing.

But just as they both pursued the escape light transformed by the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake and left, the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake’s figure surprisingly appeared again at the previous location.

He glanced back at the Star-Stepping Wheel in mid-air and finally avoided the Soul Hall Master’s attack, fleeing towards the north.

However, with his departure, no one chased anymore.

Everyone is no fool.

Chasing the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake now would mean handing over the Six-Revolution Infant Heart Fruit.

So even Pavilion Master Tingtao and Lady of Joy, two Righteous Dao cultivators, did not pursue further.

Bone Nightmare Old Demon and Soul Hall Master exchanged a look and seemed to communicate a few words telepathically, but their figures remained motionless.

On the Star-Stepping Wheel, Ji Yuan, who had been observing everything, also detected the situation.

Bone Nightmare Old Demon and Soul Hall Master dared not chase, fearing an empty takeover by both sides, therefore guarding one would be better.

But Pavilion Master Tingtao and these three Righteous Dao cultivators shouldn’t be thinking the same way.

This move, which seemingly cooperates with these few Demon Dao cultivators, is actually more likely an attempt to force the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake to leave.

If not, there are four Nascent Soul cultivators from Demon Dao versus three from Righteous Dao; if a desperate battle ensues, they surely will suffer.

Just as Ji Yuan was pondering, the Heavenly Fiend Old Demon and True Monarch Xuanqing, who originally chased the phantom of the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake, returned.

With their return, the Righteous Dao and Demon Dao distinctly separated.

False alliances always shatter at the slightest touch.

For Ji Yuan, what happens next is just a spectacle.

The Righteous Dao and Demon Dao both need this Six-Revolution Infant Heart Fruit, so an inevitable war is certain.

However, his mind isn’t focused on the upcoming battle.

His sole focus is on how to acquire the Supreme Treasure, the Star-Stepping Wheel.

Since, no matter how they seize the Six-Revolution Infant Heart Fruit, they’d never share it with him, nor will it enhance his power even a bit, whereas the Star-Stepping Wheel is different.

If he could obtain this Miracle Treasure, Ji Yuan couldn’t even imagine the speed of his Nascent Soul stage.

And the lightning transformed by Zhudian, since awakening this Star-Stepping Wheel, has disappeared within, without any movement.

Even as its owner, Ji Yuan was unable to perceive its existence.

He tried using mana to refine the Star-Stepping Wheel, but no matter how much mana he infused, it was like stones sinking in the ocean, disappearing without a trace.

Next, he attempted to communicate with the Star-Stepping Wheel using Divine Sense, trying to see if any consciousness existed within.

After all, some high-level Miracle Treasures might have Artifact Spirits within them.

But no matter how Ji Yuan communicated, the Star-Stepping Wheel showed no response.

It seemed like a purely lifeless object.

Neither attempt worked, leaving Ji Yuan with nothing to do but wait.

He was waiting, but the fight beneath the Star-Stepping Wheel never ceased.

The conflict persisted between Righteous Dao and Demon Dao, with blows struck back and forth.

True Monarch Xuanqing faced off against Heavenly Fiend Old Demon.

These two, intentionally or not, chose their battlefield next to the Star-Stepping Wheel, evidently unwilling to waste even the residual waves, hoping to breach the circle of Star Dust surrounding it.

Soul Hall Master engaged Pavilion Master Tingtao in battle.

Both Holy Lands are located in the northern part of Jiyuan Continent, and are old neighbors... So now as they battle, they seem to spare some courtesy.

As for Bone Nightmare Old Demon and Lady of Joy...

Earlier, when fighting near the Blood Pool, Lady of Joy had teamed up with Bone Nightmare Old Demon against Bone Nightmare Old Demon.

But now the two have become enemies.

As for them... in Ji Yuan’s view, Lady of Joy should take harsher action.

Because she knows the Bone Nightmare Old Demon is severely wounded now; if she could leave him here in one fell swoop.

The gains might exceed the Six-Revolution Infant Heart Fruit by far.

However.

A dead camel is bigger than a horse.

No matter how injured Bone Nightmare Old Demon is, he is the strongest prodigy of the Jiyuan Continent in hundreds of years.

Lady of Joy can’t defeat him immediately.

"So this magical combat ultimately falls on Heavenly Fiend Old Demon and True Monarch Xuanqing."

Ji Yuan, whose identity is now exposed, also ceased hiding, observing freely.

Their battle wouldn’t reach him anyway.

"These two seem evenly matched, yet True Monarch Xuanqing seems to have the upper hand, especially with his Xuanqing Spirit Eye constantly identifying Heavenly Fiend Old Demon’s weaknesses first."

Ji Yuan squinted slightly, noticing the occasional flash of azure light in True Monarch Xuanqing’s eyes.

This feeling... even made him consider using his PWoang Divine Eyes to compete.

The magical combat continues, except each participant, besides engaging in magical combat, tries to seize the Six-Revolution Infant Heart Fruit.

The effort naturally proved futile.

Ji Yuan watched intently, as Nascent Soul cultivators fighting life-and-death battles is rare.

Observing such magic battles not only offers abundant magical combat experience but also lets one foresee the methods of these Nascent Soul monsters...

Simply as preparation for killing them.

But as Ji Yuan watched intently, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura.

"Hmm?"

He instinctively turned back, looking toward the location where Zhudian vanished.

At that moment, he indeed sensed Zhudian’s aura.

But the aura was fleeting.
