I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Qin Yuesheng raised the Tiger Blade and slashed directly at the dharma aspect’s head.

Sea Splitting!

A terrifying huge wave soared from the East Sea below and engulfed Shen You’s dharma aspect. In that instant, the passage of time returned to normal. Within the giant wave, a blade light broke through the water, an indescribably stunning strike.

The dharma aspect had no time to evade and was struck on the head by the blade aura.

The dharma aspect’s head flew off, and its body could no longer withstand the collapse, dissipating into the world.

The alchemy furnace within it, without its casing, fell straight down.

"This young man accomplished what we couldn’t," Shi Lin and Yalan said, standing on a reef of the giant island, looking at Qin Yuesheng.

"With the power of a mere mortal, he easily destroyed Shen You’s dharma body. Such strength is rarely seen even in the celestial realm," Yalan said with a satisfied smile, "With someone like him guarding the mortal world, it seems there’s no need to fear even if the Celestial Demon comes again."

The alchemy furnace kept falling, yet Shen You hidden inside was still not emerging. Qin Yuesheng, to prevent any incident, chased after it and swung the Tiger Blade again.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred; a golden light flew out from the alchemy furnace, abandoning it, aiming for the Heaven and Earth Dragon Spirit.

Qin Yuesheng hurriedly tried to control the Time Holy Wheel, to slow down the flow of time again, but couldn’t match Shen You’s premeditated plan. In an instant, the Heaven-Covering Banner enlarged and shook; the entire body of the Heaven and Earth Dragon Spirit had no power to resist, and it was instantly sucked into the banner’s surface.

"What?"

"No good!"

With the Heaven and Earth Dragon Spirit absorbed, the Heaven-Covering Banner underwent a huge transformation. What was merely an artifact spirit now gained a physical form, with a golden surface and silver pole, emitting a powerful aura.

A dragon pattern extended from the surface to the pole, truly extraordinary.

Under the gaze of all, Shen You crawled out from inside the banner and grabbed the Heaven-Covering Banner. Although his dharma aspect was destroyed by Qin Yuesheng, leaving him heavily injured, he was now spirited, radiating indescribable pride.

"This Heaven-Covering Banner, I finally forced it to refine. Although it didn’t absorb all living souls of the mortal world, having absorbed the Heaven and Earth Dragon Spirit suffices," Shen You said darkly.

Shi Lin and Yalan’s faces turned extremely grim; the Heaven-Covering Banner was an innate treasure. Shen You with and without the Heaven-Covering Banner were two entirely different beings.

There were distinctions between normal treasures and celestial source treasures; above these, there were even rarer postcelestial treasures and innate treasures. Each difference in level represented a huge boost in strength.

Qin Yuesheng didn’t know all this. Although the Heaven-Covering Banner was indeed refined, he wasn’t afraid. He immediately charged forward with his blade.

Shen You sneered disdainfully and started waving the Heaven-Covering Banner continually.

The sky grew dark, and the world plunged into darkness.

Shen You’s body soared higher with the Heaven-Covering Banner, slowly disappearing into the clouds.

The horizon below gradually rose, and soon it completely submerged the giant island.

Shi Lin and Yalan slowly flew up using the remaining immortal power within them and reached Qin Yuesheng’s side.

"Child, what you’ve done is already enough. However, the world is unpredictable. Shen You has lived many years as an immortal; his methods are beyond our foresight," Shi Lin said, shaking his head.

Qin Yuesheng said, "Until the very last step, how can I lose heart easily? I know you two are immortals from the heavens; your methods are beyond a mere mortal like me to fathom. But I, too, have cards you cannot imagine. As for this Shen You you speak of, I may not be unable to defeat him."

"Oh?" Shi Lin was surprised, "You have such confidence? If there is any way we can help you, please tell us, and I will do my utmost to assist."

"Please lend me all your strength," Qin Yuesheng said solemnly.

Shi Lin and Yalan exchanged a glance and nodded at each other, understanding each other perfectly.

At this moment, they could only trust this mortal young man.

Clap! Clap!

Two hands firmly pressed on Qin Yuesheng’s shoulders, and the two immortals poured all their remaining immortal power into Qin Yuesheng, while continually consuming elixirs to replenish and recover immortal power.

The outcome, whatever it might be, hinged on this step.

"Still trying to resist! In that case, I’ll let the three of you perish entirely, as a funeral for the mortal world," Shen You’s laughter echoed from the clouds, and a massive head emerged from the clouds, the giant wraith within the Heaven-Covering Banner.

With the complete refining of the Heaven-Covering Banner, the giant wraith was fully unleashed. Its power now far surpassed what Qin Yuesheng had dealt with before.

The entire body of the massive wraith was intermittently visible within the clouds above, with Shen You nowhere to be seen. Qin Yuesheng, feeling the constant flow of immortal power from Shi Lin and Yalan into him, experienced a rapid surge in power, with the Saint Wheel Realm continually ascending.

Above the Saint Wheel Realm lies ascension to immortality, and with the help of the two immortals, Qin Yuesheng was edging ever closer to this goal.

The massive wraith lifted its hands, and over the East Sea, day turned to night in an instant. Everything became engulfed in darkness, as copious amounts of evil and resentment energy emanated from its mouth, finally condensing into a massive black sphere, which shot towards Qin Yuesheng with a roar.

Qin Yuesheng struck out with one palm, the immortal power within him activating frantically. Coupling the dual powers of the Nine Yin Extreme Dao Scripture and the Nine Yang Ultimate Skill, a Tai Chi mark composed of fire and ice abruptly manifested in his hand, colliding with the black sphere.
