Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 745 - 317: A Great Harvest!

Clad in black, the true appearance of Ji Yuan was revealed as he unleashed his full might.

He was exceptionally handsome.

With a simple gesture, three nascent flying swords materialized, shattering the confining cave and creating space for him to stand freely.

Facing him, the Hundred Insects Old Immortal mirrored this action. No longer forced into a cramped posture, he stood upright, his grime-streaked face no longer hidden.

He rose, and with a wave of his hand, performed a cleansing motion.

Employing a golden technique, a shimmering golden light enveloped him, restoring his appearance to neatness and cleanliness.

However, his face was unusually pale, a consequence of extreme energy depletion.

The punch from Ji Yuan had aggravated his old wounds.

"So, Daoist friend, do you truly intend to annihilate me today?"

"I have stumbled upon a celestial opportunity. If you spare my life, I shall share it with you!"

The Hundred Insects Old Immortal inquired deeply, his breathing steadying.

Ji Yuan, also regulating his own breath, raised a hand. The celestial poison needle detached from the red-eyed iron mouse's posterior and hovered beside him.

In his other hand, he grasped the coiled magical treasure, the Red Wave Whip.

The remaining three flying sword embryos circled to his right.

A banner was planted firmly behind him.

It was the long-unused Yin Ghost Banner, enveloped in swirling Yin energy. Occasionally, two Yin Ghosts would emerge, emitting fierce howls.

"If I were to say I wouldn't kill you, would you believe me?"

Ji Yuan responded with gravity, "As for the opportunity, once you are dead, it will all be mine!"

Hearing this, the Hundred Insects Old Immortal suddenly let out a laugh, a sound like suppressed chuckling.

"Indeed, for someone like you, an ancient demon, how could you allow a tiger to return to its mountain? If I were in your position, I wouldn't let myself go either."

"...Before I perish, may I know your esteemed name?"

Upon finishing his statement, Ji Yuan released his grip, letting the Red Wave Whip fall to the ground.

"I have no grand title, merely Qiu Qianhai."

"Qiu Qianhai? That name is familiar, known far and wide. To fall by your hand... it is not an utter disgrace."

The Hundred Insects Old Immortal concluded, seemingly letting out a sigh towards the heavens.

But very quickly, a dense swarm of poisonous insects erupted from behind him, surging towards Ji Yuan.

"Hmph."

Ji Yuan let out a cold snort and activated a jade box before him. Instantly, the Star Dust Illusionary Killing Array descended and detonated.

Concurrently, Ji Yuan hurled ten celestial thunder seeds.

Explosions reverberated loudly.

The onslaught of poisonous insects was almost instantaneously annihilated by the explosive force of the Star Dust Illusionary Killing Array, reduced to mere ashes.

As for the Hundred Insects Old Immortal, he had intended to seize the chaos as an opportunity to escape.

Yet, who could have foreseen Ji Yuan possessing the ability to unleash so many celestial thunder seeds simultaneously?

The casting of spells demands time, the deployment of magical artifacts requires a duration, and their activation creates fluctuations in Spiritual Qi.

However, celestial thunder seeds are distinct; they detonate the moment they are thrown.

Their destructive potency is immense.

This is especially true within the confines of this already constricted cave.

Following the explosion, the low-grade spiritual artifact, the Celestial Craft Square situated before Ji Yuan, was obliterated, flinging him into the air until he impacted the stone wall behind him.

A surge of sweetness flooded his throat, but he swiftly suppressed it.

The physical resilience of the Bone Forging Realm allowed him to endure and recover.

Even the ringing in his ears was instantly mended by circulating his Blood Qi.

He did not neglect to cast his Divine Sense outwards, meticulously surveying the entirety of the cave's interior.

To his astonishment, despite the devastating impact of the explosion, the Hundred Insects Old Immortal had not perished.

However, the difference between his current state and actual death was negligible.

Ji Yuan had already inflicted injuries upon him earlier, disrupting numerous techniques, and now this cave-in...

By some unknown method, he managed to shield his upper body, but his legs were left unguarded.

Consequently, his legs below the knees were a mangled ruin, appearing as mere "shreds" of flesh.

His spirit robe was torn, and the explosion seemed to have rendered him dazed.

His sole remaining instinct was to cling to the remains of the Mouse Demon and drag himself forward.

His entire head was bloodied, and he was covered in dust, presenting a rather pathetic spectacle.

Yet, Ji Yuan harbored no compassion.

He reactivated the celestial poison needle; it streaked forth with a green luminescence, piercing directly through the temple of the Hundred Insects Old Immortal.

Entering the left side and exiting the right.

Finally, Ji Yuan uttered a few incantations, summoning the Thousand Souls Banner and ensnaring the opponent's Yin Soul within it.

Just as he was considering how to store the corpse, his acute hearing detected a rumbling sound.

...This is not good, it's about to collapse!

Without a word, Ji Yuan gestured, gathering the remains of the Mouse Demon and the Hundred Insects Old Immortal into his storage bag. He then urgently began to ascend towards the surface, navigating the cave path.

In these deep subterranean depths, a complete collapse would spell certain doom.
