I Can Strengthen Infinitely

The five massive serpents twisted and churned, even though their scales were peeling off from their bodies, they still engaged in a fierce and equal battle with Shi Lin and Yalan, the two Immortals.

Shen You’s doppelgänger pinched his fingers, chanting incantations, causing bubbles to rise and boil in the poison pool. Ultimately, it seemed as though the world was turning upside down, raining down as every drop of poison in the pool splashed out.

In that moment, the sky turned purple, a purple aura enveloped the heavens, and the Immortal Power within Shi Lin surged out, forming a shield that blocked all of Shen You’s doppelgänger’s attacks outside.

Yalan shook her treasured fan, releasing a fierce wind that blew away the surrounding poison, preventing it from approaching her.

At this moment, it was truly as if Immortals were crossing the sea, each showcasing their Divine Abilities.

"Immortal bodies are more suitable as puppets, and you two have delivered yourselves right to me," Shen You’s doppelgänger laughed heartily.

With that said, he stepped out instantly, launching himself towards Shi Lin and Yalan at a speed akin to a blink of an eye.

At this moment, the two Immortals were able to discern that the strange individual before them was not Shen You himself because the Immortal Power on his body was too weak, far from what Shen You should possess.

Swish!

Shen You’s doppelgänger moved incredibly swiftly, extending his hand to grasp nothingness, suddenly a black spear appeared in his palm. This spear looked ordinary, yet emitted an extremely powerful aura. Before Shi Lin could react, Shen You’s doppelgänger had hurled the spear towards him.

Whoosh!

Shi Lin’s Immortal Power shield was pierced in an instant, threatening to strike Shi Lin’s face, causing his features to suddenly stiffen, finally transforming into a stone face, dangerously blocking the black spear just in time.

However, despite the stone face’s toughness, the black spear was no ordinary weapon, and where Shi Lin’s features were hit, a black round hole appeared, surrounded by countless cracks.

"Huh!" Shi Lin exclaimed: "The spear seems to possess a peculiar force, capable of damaging even my Immortal stone armor."

Yalan said: "It seems Shen You is wary of divine retribution in the mortal world, thus created a doppelgänger to act on his behalf in the mortal realm. This makes finding Shen You extremely challenging due to his likely hidden whereabouts."

Shen You’s doppelgänger formed a sign with his right hand, immediately releasing a talisman flying straight towards Shi Lin.

Shi Lin intended to dodge, yet unexpectedly the talisman had a mysterious background, capable of drawing out the black residue from the hole on his face, pulling his entire body helplessly towards the talisman.

Yalan’s expression changed, swiftly flinging her sleeve out to wrap around Shi Lin’s waist, preventing him from being pulled by Shen You’s doppelgänger.

Sizzle!

As Shi Lin’s face leaked Immortal Power from the hole, the entire energy flowed into Shen You’s doppelgänger’s talisman.

Shi Lin shouted: "Destroy that talisman, my Immortal Power is being continuously drained."

Yalan immediately complied, waving her fan at the talisman, instantly summoning wind and thunder.

Shen You’s doppelgänger grasped his hand, causing four zombies to emerge from his body, splitting into pairs to attack Shi Lin and Yalan, the two Immortals. These were the same Grandmasters Shen You killed under the Celestial Gate.

Despite being a doppelgänger, Shen You’s projection did not appear weak, showcasing a formidable strength that caused Shi Lin and Yalan great difficulty.

"Shen You has hidden away for hundreds of years, and his strength seems much greater than the rumors," Yalan bit her fingertip, immediately releasing a few drops of Immortal Blood from her finger. This blood contained immense power, previously when Wu’an Monarch’s Immortal Blood caused changes in the mortal realm, birthing many Spirit Beasts, Yalan’s drops were equally extraordinary.

"Blood Sword Thrust," Yalan murmured a command, waved her hand, instantly coagulating the drops of Immortal Blood into small sword shapes, casting long blood glows as they shot towards the two zombies.

Bang! Bang!

The swords formed from Immortal Blood were incredibly potent, instantly piercing through the zombie’s bodies, slicing them in half.

"Giant Stone Spirit Divinity." Shi Lin shuddered, unleashing Immortal Power that petrified everything around him, the zombies being the first affected.

Shen You’s doppelgänger’s tactics bore no threat to Shi Lin and Yalan, the two Immortals, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Not an ordinary Immortal," remarked Shen You’s doppelgänger.

The two Immortals, while not possessing Shen You’s reputation or power, had ascended to the Immortal realm long ago, easily handling Shen You’s doppelgänger, yet its lone prowess against two Immortals for so long was notable, hinting at Shen You’s true strength, even his doppelgänger proving challenging.

Recognizing his mismatch against the two Immortals, Shen You’s doppelgänger immediately leaped towards the hollow pit below, seemingly intending to escape, but the two Immortals would certainly not grant him this opportunity.

Shi Lin moved with thought, causing the earth to rumble as stone hands emerged from below, capturing Shen You’s doppelgänger firmly.

"It’s futile to obstruct me; soon the mortal world will become vast and hellish, all you can do is watch the grand scene unfold," Shen You’s doppelgänger was gripped tightly by stone hands, immobile, yet he remained utterly unflustered, staring coldly with blood-red eyes at Shi Lin and Yalan, full of confidence.

Boom!

With force applied by Shi Lin, the stone hands clasped tightly, rendering Shen You’s doppelgänger mute in the stone palm.

"In the end, Shen You acted on the mortal world, seeing what he just said, his plans seem almost complete, it’s challenging for us now to thwart him," Shi Lin frowned.

"A thousand years of peaceful serenity in the mortal world has finally been shattered," Yalan sighed.

Among Immortals, some had ascended from the mortal realm, though Shi Lin and Yalan were not such, they bore benevolent hearts, unlike Shen You who recklessly slaughtered life.

"Now, all we can do is return to the Celestial Gate location, back to the Immortal realm seeking allies, otherwise relying solely on ourselves cannot avert the impending disaster in the mortal world," Shi Lin stated.

Yalan nodded: "That’s indeed necessary."

With that, the two Immortals quickly departed the area on clouds, rushing towards the north.

...

Beyond the East Sea, on a deserted island.

"Hehehehe... Mission accomplished, I have finally fused with this body of Primordial Celestial Demon! From now on, this Demon Venerable is the Primordial Celestial Demon, the progenitor of Celestial Demons!"
