Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 972 - 369: New Building—[Martial Arts Arena]!

What is this Purple Sky Stone?

Whenever one appears, countless Core Formation Cultivators will scramble for it.

Although this man possesses a flying sword forged from Purple Sky Stone, the Purple Sky Divine Thunder stored in it cannot be plentiful.

Though my True Treasure consumes a lot, so does his weapon.

When his Purple Sky Divine Thunder is exhausted, it will be my turn to strike back!

Just like now, the Demon Lord Duan Yue has already noticed that the previous purple flying sword is gone and is now using a water-blue flying sword.

If I can deplete the Purple Sky Divine Thunder of this blue flying sword as well, then... victory will be within reach!

This is what he plans, and Ji Yuan thinks the same; the power of this True Treasure is truly formidable.

Just like now, Ji Yuan uses the Purple Sky Divine Thunder without regard for consumption, to suppress the Demon Lord Duan Yue so that he cannot use this True Treasure properly.

If this goes unchecked and he gains the upper hand using this True Treasure against me, it will be extremely troublesome!

The two remained in a standoff for what felt like half a cup of tea’s time.

Ji Yuan released three bolts of Purple Sky Divine Thunder in succession, exhausting the thunder stored within the Canglan Sword.

But as a result, the bronze glass lamp in the Demon Lord Duan Yue’s hands is also on the brink of collapse.

It appears illusory, as if it could disappear at any moment.

But the eyes of the Demon Lord Duan Yue show delight instead of fear, for he can sense the power of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder waning.

Finally... finally reaching its limit?

The Demon Lord Duan Yue stretched out his right hand, clutching the slightly curved Earth-Splitting Demon Axe once more.

"Receive—"

Ji Yuan formed a sword gesture with his right hand, and with a light gesture, the five Canglan Swords flew back into his body.

The Demon Lord Duan Yue seized the opportunity, releasing his True Treasure, leapt high with the giant axe in both hands, and fiercely attacked Ji Yuan.

Originally prepared to continue using the Purple Sky Divine Thunder to slay the enemy, Ji Yuan suddenly changed his mind.

His figure flickered and vanished, appearing instantly near the Demon Lord Duan Yue.

He reached out and clasped his throat.

"Ah—"

This sudden turn of events startled the Demon Lord Duan Yue, and the force pressing on his throat left him incredulous.

He had cultivated demon skills to enhance his physique, though not to the level of a Body Foundation Establishment, still not something a common cultivator could match.

But now... the force at his throat was irresistible, forcing him to accept a truth.

The man before him is also... a Body Cultivator!

The Demon Lord Duan Yue immediately cast a spell, conjuring a serpent in the void, directly aiming to bite off Ji Yuan’s head.

Yet at this moment, two real serpents flew out from Ji Yuan’s sleeve, lunging at the black serpent’s phantom.

Tier Three Demon Beast, and two of them.

This scene sapped the will of the Demon Lord Duan Yue to resist.

For an ordinary Core Formation Cultivator to nurture a Tier Three Demon Beast, it would exhaust countless resources.

But this man before him?

Not only did he nurture Tier Three Demon Beasts, but he nurtured two, and they are spirit beasts of the serpent species.

In just this instant of distraction, Ji Yuan seized the opportunity, clasping the Demon Lord Duan Yue’s neck with his left hand while swinging a fierce punch with his right.

With a ripping sound, his fist landed on the Demon Lord Duan Yue’s temple.

With this simple punch, the Demon Lord Duan Yue’s eyes bulged, and he bled from his seven orifices.

Yet he was still alive.

Ji Yuan casually flung his body aside, as the Demon Lord Duan Yue was dazed.

Then five blood-colored flying swords descended from the sky.

Each flying sword had Purple Sky Divine Thunder flickering, and the first one... the thunder pierced the sword tip, striking the Demon Lord Duan Yue’s chest.

"Boom—"

Lightning scattered, and the Demon Lord Duan Yue shuddered, his already battered body stiffening instantly.

Ji Yuan flipped his hand, taking out the Thousand Souls Banner from his storage bag.

The banner fluttered in the wind.

Ji Yuan formed a seal with one hand, chanting a few incantations, a Yin Soul flew out from the Demon Lord Duan Yue’s body, and was finally absorbed into the Thousand Souls Banner.

"Another Late-stage Core Formation Yin Soul is mine. After nurturing it in the Thousand Souls Banner for some time, it will soon have the strength of an Early-stage Core Formation... truly making the most out of it."

After collecting the Yin Soul, Ji Yuan waved his hand, the Demon Lord Duan Yue’s body was stored in the chaotic burial mound of the Spirit Platform of Mind and Heart, while the remaining storage bag fell into Ji Yuan’s hands.

He weighed it and found it substantial.

It seems there are quite a few good things, but now is not the time to check. He turned back to store the two Frost Serpents into the Spirit Platform of Mind and Heart, ensuring nothing was left behind, he then called out.

"Chasing Lightning."

With a soft crackle, Ji Yuan’s figure transformed into lightning and left the spot.

After a short while.

Ji Yuan, having changed his appearance, returned to the previous battlefield, Xing Shuang flew up from the ground.

She looked at the person before her, and although his aura and appearance were entirely different from Ji Yuan, she still knew it was him.

Xing Shuang transmitted her voice:

"Brother Liu, it’s all settled."

Ji Yuan glanced at the ground; Xing Shuang had not only dealt with that Female Cultivator but also erased the remnants of their fight.

"Mm, everything is fine on my side too. Let’s go to another place to talk."

"Okay."

The two then flew straight toward the southwest and Lindong City, but this time Ji Yuan did not use the Chasing Lightning Cloud.

On their way south, they also encountered several northbound Core Formation Cultivators who scrutinized Ji Yuan and Xing Shuang but ultimately refrained from questioning them.
