Chapter 508: Spirit Cannon Accumulation Device

For the new offensive Accumulation Device, Yan Buji plans to start from himself; his techniques are versatile, and he also has Earth Fiend Divine Ability assisting, so there are many choices for offensive means.

"Well.... In that case, what I need is an Accumulation Device capable of deciding victory with a single blow, aside from special attack methods."

That means pursuing the ultimate destructive power!

Similar to Yan Buji's Dao Martial Technique True Flow Fist, which is pure destruction, without versatile means, only pure strength.

Yan Buji has seen this kind of Accumulation Device before, for example the True Phoenix Bow's terrifying destructive power and effective damage range.

But the True Phoenix Bow is not his natal Accumulation Device after all; disassembling and retraining would damage the foundation of the Immortal Accumulation, so it cannot be used this way.

"Bows and arrows? But since I have the True Phoenix Bow, there's no need to develop this kind of long-range attack method; moreover, I have the Rift Scepter, which is enough to strike someone unexpectedly."

In Magical Cultivation combat, the variety of means is likewise key to determining victory.

Some spend their whole lives mastering a single divine ability and can still roam the five realms freely, while others know everything and never fall into a disadvantage when facing any danger.

Yan Buji belongs to the latter, practicing Martial and Law Dual Cultivation, with versatile means, and he fears neither single combat nor being surrounded.

He merely lacks a decisive means.

"Pursuing ultimate destructive power? What means is the best?"

Fire and lightning techniques and divine abilities are obviously powerful in destructive force, but Yan Buji is not a practitioner of that path, and he is making an Accumulation Device, not cultivating divine abilities.

"Ah, I'm really stupid. Since it's about ultimate destructive power, why bother considering so many useless things? As long as the Accumulation Device can condense magical power to the limit, supplemented by propulsion means, it can stably erupt with maximum force within.... kilometers. In that case, what's needed is for the Accumulation Device itself to be able to condense magical power, or to add various kinds of technique-stabilizing components.... The propulsion components just need to be usable long-term."

With the idea, Yan Buji began designing.

The cultivation world doesn't care if your Accumulation Device looks strange, after all, even stranger things exist than those Abnormal Beasts.

It only matters whether your Accumulation Device is powerful; for example, Wu Qian previously used that Bull Shield, which could actually fire cannonballs, and it's said to come from the West Sand River Basin's spirit cannon technology.

Yan Buji's idea is similar to that of a spirit cannon, but it's impossible to make a barrel several meters long to increase the projectile's range and stability; doing so would also be inconvenient to use.

Looking at his designed Accumulation Diagram, Yan Buji frowned: "No, if it's short, there would basically be no chance to use it normally.... Forget it, just treat it as a move specially used in armed form."

Yan Buji's designed Accumulation Device is similar to a cannon; he originally intended to mount the barrel in the arm in the form of arm armor, which would facilitate his gathering and controlling the condensation of magical power; second, it would also facilitate movement, after all, who would foolishly stand there letting you bombard them?

To this end, Yan Buji also designed a component specifically using spark power for condensation, giving this Accumulation Device the capability of large-scale fire damage.

But this way, the barrel length will inevitably far exceed the original design; the finished product will likely have a ten-meter-long barrel, plus nearly one meter of propulsion component, condensation component, and spark component mounted on the arms.

"Too long; better to use Mutant Force Bone as the main material for stretching."

The design of this Accumulation Device is based on maximum firepower and maximum destructive power, so there's no need to consider whether the body can withstand recoil.

Yan Buji can also reduce the number of components by using divine sense as a means to lock onto targets for key precision.

Without a gun mount, just designing the components behind the barrel requires very tough material to withstand it, and Mutant Force Bone happens to have this property.

The best aspect of Mutant Force Bone is its excellent ductility; after refinement, it can be freely stretched or shortened without affecting the toughness of Mutant Force, and it can also be mixed and refined with Spiritual Material.

Long Batian previously designed the Beast Armament for his wife, which obviously perfectly exhibited the traits of Mutant Force Bone, allowing Zhang Yao's Beast Armament to instantly extend over ten meters.

Normal Spiritual Material rarely has such excellent ductility and toughness.

The larger the Beast Armament, the greater the burden on the cultivator himself; adding extension components needed for the whole only increases control difficulty.

"Like the keel used in shipbuilding, the whole is best, while later additions and repairs are most prone to problems," Yan Buji laughed.

With that, after finalizing the material selection, Yan Buji began to rummage through his storage bag for materials, checking if they were sufficient.

"Huh, troublesome."

The materials for refining lack some crucial Fivefold Transformation Spiritual Materials; Yan Buji had no choice but to go outside to find them.

Heavenly Spirit Realm....

Yan Buji pondered for a while and temporarily decided not to go back.

Mainly, the struggle between the Sun and Moon Palace and the Liu family forces is likely already at a critical juncture, and he might still go to the Heavenly Spirit Realm to recruit people.

When the time comes, whether the Nine Heavens Five Realms Great Chamber of Commerce participates is not important, but these Nascent Soul Cultivators with little foundation will inevitably become targets of contention between the two sides.

If people recognize that he previously went to the Sun and Moon Palace, the Liu family forces will surely come to him to have him defame the Sun and Moon Palace; at that time, his identity as Xu Long also involves the incident of burning, killing, and looting on the Twenty-Eight Star Lodges Island in the Turbulent Sea years ago, which will inevitably cause trouble.

"I hope Wu Qian will be smart, not get arrested later and forced to defame the Sun and Moon Palace; when the Sun and Moon Palace falls, he won't have a good ending either," Yan Buji chuckled.

This is also Yan Buji's intuition for avoiding risk, because power struggles are never that simple.

Whether Wu Qian agrees or not, once he is sought out, his death is certain.

The worst outcome would be if the Sun and Moon Palace seeks a dying struggle, unwilling to relinquish its power; then, upon learning that the Liu family forces intend to use those Nascent Soul Cultivators who fled the Sun and Moon Palace to defame them again, and thus directly resort to lethal means to solve the problem at its source, there would be no escape.

Moreover, it's obvious that if the Liu family forces have any capable person, they will also promise the Nascent Soul Cultivators protection of their safety before the Sun and Moon Palace falls, and even offer very generous remuneration to have Wu Qian and those Nascent Soul Cultivators act as damning witnesses.

But doesn't that just mean forming a deadly feud with the Sun and Moon Palace?

After the Sun and Moon Palace falls, will the Liu family still care about the life or death of a mere Nascent Soul Cultivator?

Therefore, the Heavenly Spirit Realm is off-limits; Yan Buji left early and used the Heaven Gate Law to flee, so it's unlikely anyone will find his whereabouts.

But those cultivators who luckily escaped don't know if they have such good fortune to avoid this vortex of power struggle.
