I Can Strengthen Infinitely

"What!" Even the nine-thousand-year-old couldn’t help but cry out in alarm at this sudden occurrence. Despite having lived for so long, he had never witnessed such a scene.

The Celestial Demon Evil Blade was incredibly hard; as its creator, he was well aware of this. Even a grandmaster couldn’t destroy the Celestial Demon Evil Blade in an instant, of this the nine-thousand-year-old was very confident.

But now, right before his eyes, the Celestial Demon Evil Blade had vanished?

Though the nine-thousand-year-old hadn’t seen if Qin Yuesheng had done anything, this matter most likely had something to do with that mortal.

"What kind of trick is this!" The nine-thousand-year-old spread his wings and took flight, shouting angrily.

Qin Yuesheng kicked off with his right leg, following closely. Since the nine-thousand-year-old was now without the Celestial Demon Evil Blade, his threat had greatly diminished, and it was the perfect time for him to counterattack.

With a singular focus on eliminating the Celestial Demon, Qin Yuesheng didn’t concern himself with too much else and unleashed his Life Star Realm.

The nine-thousand-year-old suddenly felt a brightness above him and looked up to see, under the night sky, a magnificent celestial palace emerging slowly from the clouds.

The celestial palace radiated brilliant rays, with purple beams shooting down to the earth, illuminating the entirety of Chang’an as if covered by a divine aura, truly a rare celestial phenomenon.

"Celestial City! Could it be that Immortals are descending to the mortal world?"

"A celestial phenomenon, truly a celestial phenomenon!"

All over the imperial city, the awake palace maids, guards, and eunuchs knelt with their heads to the ground, trembling and not daring to move excessively.

The nine-thousand-year-old shuddered, showing fear on his face: "How could they be coming to the mortal realm at this time, it’s impossible."

Qin Yuesheng had never imagined that his Life Star Realm would frighten the nine-thousand-year-old so.

Within the already awe-inspiring celestial palace, thunder suddenly roared, echoing incessantly.

One by one, divine soldiers in armor, holding long spears, flew out from the celestial palace on clouds, surrounding it in a grand formation.

The entire sky above the imperial city became densely populated, truly a spectacular sight.

This was a new ability Qin Yuesheng gained after his Life Star Realm absorbed the lamp world of Duke Xuanming, allowing him to manifest the power of the Life Star into forms he envisaged to launch assaults on the enemy.

Within this celestial palace was Qin Yuesheng’s domain.

"Come inside with me." Utilizing the Carefree Heavenly Travel Skill to enter the celestial palace, he turned back to the nine-thousand-year-old and executed a remarkable move, Mystical Hand of Heaven and Earth. In the celestial palace, Qin Yuesheng’s martial skills were enhanced, and facing the upgraded Mystical Hand of Heaven and Earth, the nine-thousand-year-old had no escape, helplessly being pulled into the celestial palace by Qin Yuesheng.

The divine soldiers immediately floated up and down, comprehensively surrounding where Qin Yuesheng and the nine-thousand-year-old were, making it impossible for the latter to escape.

...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there’s terrible news." The eunuch in charge, sent by the Ten Attendants to care for the new emperor, hurriedly ran to the new emperor’s sleeping chambers, knocking on the door and shouting.

Many veteran eunuchs knew that this new emperor was merely a puppet elevated by the Ten Attendants, in terms of actual power and capability, he was far inferior to the former emperor, hence their noticeably disrespectful attitude towards him.

At this hour, the emperor would be sound asleep, being awoken during a deep sleep would infuriate anyone, let alone an emperor.

The new emperor just opened his eyes to see the old eunuch had already unceremoniously pushed the door open, rushing inside, and hastening to the bedside, loudly shouting: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened, tonight Immortals have descended from the sky, right here in Chang’an."

The new emperor was utterly confused by this statement, not having the time to ponder its meaning, he was abruptly grabbed by the old eunuch and dragged off the bed, forcibly pulled towards the chamber door.

These old eunuchs were disciples of the Rootless Sect, possessing significant martial prowess; in a one-on-one situation, dealing with someone like the emperor was effortlessly achieved. Once the new emperor exited the sleeping chamber, he finally understood the meaning of the old eunuch’s words.

This night in Chang’an was truly fantastical, the likes of the celestial palace were something mortals wouldn’t even dream of seeing.

For a moment, countless thoughts arose in the new emperor’s mind; what was the point of being an emperor?

He longed to ascend, to become an Immortal.

...

Standing on the white plaza within the celestial palace, Qin Yuesheng tossed out the Mountain Ghost Pearl, from which Ah Hu immediately emerged, transforming into the Heavenly Evil Tiger Soul.

Dragon-Slaying Sword, Heavenly Evil Tiger Soul, Purple Dragon Essence Wood Spear, Celestial Fire Divine Saber, All Beings Pagoda.

Within the celestial palace, Qin Yuesheng’s entire aura changed instantly, even the nine-thousand-year-old sensed a heaviness.

With his current strength, it was truly uncertain if he could defeat the mortal grandmaster before him.

Thinking of this, the nine-thousand-year-old glared with rage at the mighty Haoran Demon-Subduing Xuanyuan Sword lodged in his chest.

If not for this sword constantly depleting his power over the years, how could a Celestial Demon of dignity be reduced to being unable to overcome a mere mortal?

The nine-thousand-year-old couldn’t remember when he first arrived in the mortal realm, whether the pile of grandmaster corpses slain under his hands could form mountains or fill seas.

But now...

Buzz buzz buzz!

Wisps of eerie green fog wafted from the nine-thousand-year-old’s body, two protuberances re-emerged on his forehead, finally breaking open and sprouting two new horns.

And behind him, a pair of new wings burst forth, transforming the nine-thousand-year-old into a four-winged Celestial Demon.

Although Qin Yuesheng wasn’t sure what was happening, he surmised the nine-thousand-year-old must have employed some last-resort tactic, leaving no room for preparation. He instantly dashed forward, blades in hand, unleashing the Seven Limits Saber Skill of Heaven and Earth.

With the Life Star Realm’s augmentation, the power of the Seven Limits was far greater than when Qin Yuesheng ordinarily wielded it.

Mountain Collapse and Blazing Fire sliced forth simultaneously, surged entirely towards the nine-thousand-year-old’s position.

"Mortal! Witness the power of the Great Celestial Demon." The nine-thousand-year-old leapt forth, pressing against Qin Yuesheng’s assault to approach him.

Bang bang!

Ignoring the shadowy peaks and raging fire sea, the nine-thousand-year-old clenched the blades of the Heavenly Evil Tiger Soul and Celestial Fire Divine Saber, stopping Qin Yuesheng from advancing another step.

But Qin Yuesheng was not limited to two arms—the All Beings Pagoda and Dragon-Slaying Sword promptly lunged at the nine-thousand-year-old’s body.

"Roar!" In an instant, the nine-thousand-year-old opened wide, a ghostly face appearing before him, emitting a tremendous roar.

A circle of visible sound waves spread outward, making Qin Yuesheng feel dizzy and groggy, causing a hint of bewilderment before his eyes.

Crack!

With a mighty squeeze from the nine-thousand-year-old, several cracks appeared on the surface of the Celestial Fire Divine Saber.

At this moment, Qin Yuesheng realized that divine soldiers were not invincible; when confronted with overwhelming power, even a divine soldier could be destroyed.

With the nine-thousand-year-old exerting force once more, the Celestial Fire Divine Saber finally could not withstand the enormous force, breaking in Qin Yuesheng’s sight into two halves.

The blade was shattered, its original flames abruptly ceasing, vanishing entirely.

The nine-thousand-year-old struck with one hand, knocking aside both the All Beings Pagoda and Dragon-Slaying Sword, then reached to grab Qin Yuesheng’s chest, intending to pierce through and extract his heart.

But in an instant, a Little Red Sun suddenly emerged on Qin Yuesheng’s chest, tightly contacting with the nine-thousand-year-old’s palm.

The searing heat contained within the Little Red Sun instantly sizzled against the nine-thousand-year-old’s palm, even causing wisps of cyan smoke to rise.

"Dare to destroy my divine soldier, you’ll pay with your life." Qin Yuesheng, with his two free arms, each wielded a Little Red Sun forcefully, aiming straight for the nine-thousand-year-old’s face.

The nine-thousand-year-old tried to dodge, but Qin Yuesheng had anticipated this, immediately abandoning the Celestial Fire Divine Saber and Purple Dragon Essence Wood Spear, grabbing the nine-thousand-year-old’s wrists with both hands, leaving him no room to escape, forcing him to watch the two Little Red Suns strike squarely against his face.
