Chapter 672 - 381: World Within the Banner
"They even gave all their Immortal Power to this mortal," Shen You was enraged.
If he could obtain the Immortal Power from the bodies of Shi Lin and Yalan to assist in refining the Heaven-Covering Banner, it would greatly accelerate the refining process.
But right now, these two immortals had actually given up and transferred all their Immortal Power to a mortal.
What are they trying to do, do they really think a mere mortal can stop me?
Shen You infused his Immortal Power into the Heaven-Covering Banner, and immediately, the banner’s spiritual light shone brightly. A massive vengeful spirit’s arm extended from the swirling ocean of resentment, reaching for the blade light slashing towards Qin Yuesheng.
Crack, crack, crack!
Even an innate treasure, still unrefined, could not withstand Qin Yuesheng’s blade.
Even though "Mountain-Crushing" could annihilate an Immortal, how weak could "Sea Splitting" be?
Shen You was mistaken this time as the Sea-Splitting Blade Qi surged forward, obliterating all the rising resentment in an instant.
In just a few breaths, the blade qi whirled through the air, appearing before Shen You.
"Not good!" Shen You exclaimed in alarm, hurriedly controlling his Avatar to grasp the artifact furnace and leaping upwards.
Crash!
In an instant, the blade qi slashed where Shen You had been, but unexpectedly struck nothing but air. The ground bore the brunt of the blow, instantly splitting apart.
Even the Dragon Veins of the heavens and earth, fortified by spiritual power, could not withstand Qin Yuesheng’s strike. A blade scar split from north to south, dividing the entire island in two.
Rumble!
Outside the island, the Executioner was locked in an evenly matched battle with the Dragon Soul. Suddenly, a tremendous noise erupted from within the island, and it began rapidly splitting, gradually falling into two halves into the sea.
The giant island sank, stirring up enormous waves that crashed in all directions. The Dragon Soul could no longer continue its fight with the Executioner, quickly using its nine claws to grasp the two halves of the island, forcibly holding them above the seabed.
Amidst the chaos, a shadow carrying a shimmering golden furnace flew out from below the island. The instant the furnace appeared, the Executioner felt an exceptionally enticing aura.
That was resentment!
The Celestial Demons fed on resentment; they traversed realms, killing living beings for their resentment and flesh as nourishment.
The Heaven-Covering Banner, made from the souls of creatures from the Nine Provinces, naturally had a tremendous amount of resentment concentrated within. The Executioner could no longer be bothered with the Dragon Soul, charging directly towards the furnace with obvious intent to seize it.
Having narrowly escaped Qin Yuesheng’s blade, Shen You was already filled with anger and resentment. Now, an unknown entity was targeting him, provoking an instant and aggressive response. He immediately commanded his Avatar to unleash a flurry of black flames, forming a sea of black fire in mid-air.
"Where did this Celestial Demon come from, daring to act in my presence?" Shen You retreated into the artifact furnace, the Heaven-Covering Banner’s Artifact Spirit returning inside, shrouding the artifact furnace in a deluge of resentment, thoroughly enveloping Shen You’s body.
Whoosh!
Qin Yuesheng soared from below the island, walking with the Carefree Heavenly Travel Skill. Each step conjured crimson clouds beneath his feet, elevating him higher and higher.
"Though not truly an Immortal yet, this Immortal Power is enough for me to indulge for a while," Qin Yuesheng thought as he firmly gripped the Tiger Shard, eyeing Shen You.
The power of the Seven Limits Saber Skill’s first form, Sea-Splitting, had already exceeded Qin Yuesheng’s expectations. Just the Sea-Splitting First Form was enough to force Shen You back. What kind of power would the second forms, Devour the Sky and Consume the Earth yield, rendering Shen You utterly incapable of mounting a defense?
Unfortunately, the last two forms of the Seven Limits Saber Skill required an enormous expenditure of energy. Even Qin Yuesheng, with the Immortal Power of two immortals, couldn’t guarantee he could execute them.
"I can’t wait any longer; refine for me!" Shen You gritted his teeth and practically shouted, sinking his head beneath the liquid inside the furnace and completely concealing himself within.
Meanwhile, the Avatar clutching the artifact furnace pressed it into his chest, merging completely.
In an instant, the Avatar’s appearance changed dramatically. Scales sprouted over its surface, and two long horns grew from its head. It still had six arms, but its overall appearance was much more menacing.
Kill!
With a move, the colossal Avatar burst forth at unimaginable speed, arriving before Qin Yuesheng in the blink of an eye.
The six palms of the Avatar each released a black flame, slapping towards Qin Yuesheng from six directions.
Though its nature was unknown, Qin Yuesheng sensed a dangerous aura from the black flame, a constant reminder not to confront it directly.
Pressured and desperate, Shen You resorted to using formidable techniques.
In a composed manner, Qin Yuesheng conjured the Time Holy Wheel behind him, which began to rotate slowly.
In that split second, everything around seemed to slow down.
The surging waves on the sea halted mid-air, with droplets of water trickling down slowly.
Amid the black sea of fire, the Executioner was creeping away at an agonizingly slow pace.
In Qin Yuesheng’s eyes, the six black flames neared him languidly, so slow that he could sidestep them even at a walking pace.
Time, at this moment, had slowed down.
