I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Without needing to look back, Wu Changsheng could feel a gust of wind coming from behind—it was the Celestial Demon.

Wu Changsheng’s face darkened. Celestial Demon Possession is an innate ability of celestial demons. They can inject their essence into other creatures, devouring the original host’s mind, seizing the host’s body, and being reborn in a new form.

Celestial demons are a genderless species, inherently violent and bloodthirsty, delighting in destroying everything. With every completed Celestial Demon Possession, their form undergoes certain changes. Thus, through countless ages of possession, their form has changed increasingly, until in the end, no one knows what the original celestial demon truly looked like.

Among immortals, this creature is also known as the ’Primordial Celestial Demon.’

Every successful Celestial Demon Possession makes the celestial demon even more powerful.

Bearing injuries himself, Wu Changsheng naturally couldn’t continue to entangle with this celestial demon. If held back, he feared the outcome would be deadly.

In a rush, Wu Changsheng quickly leaped high, his hands plunged into the rock above, swinging forward like a monkey. Meanwhile, he increased his grip strength, causing pieces of rock to fall and crash to the ground, triggering a collapse in the entire underground space.

Soon, Wu Changsheng reached the entrance to the passage. He dashed inside headlong, arms digging furiously. With his strength, the entire corridor began to collapse. Desperation to survive spurred Wu Changsheng to tap into all his potential, rushing like a whirlwind.

As he burst out of the underground altar, his body suddenly felt lighter.

However, at that moment, a gust of wind approached Wu Changsheng from behind with unimaginable speed, startling him. As he tried to evade, ten razor-sharp claws pierced through his abdomen.

"Pua!" Wu Changsheng spat out a mouthful of hot blood, his wound erupting uncontrollably with a fountain of blood.

"You!" Wu Changsheng incredulously looked back, only to see no celestial demon nearby, but two ghostly purple slender claws had suddenly emerged from the air, catching Wu Changsheng off guard in a sneak attack.

Tear!

As the slender claws withdrew, two gaping blood holes appeared in Wu Changsheng’s abdomen. Although the injury wasn’t immediately fatal, escaping from here became significantly more difficult.

"Do you think you can escape?"

Suddenly, the air rippled, and with a trembling like water, the immortal possessed by the celestial demon stepped out from the void.

"You can even transform into the heavens and earth!" Wu Changsheng exclaimed in shock.

"You must thank yourself for waking me from deep slumber. Otherwise, who knows how many years I would have been asleep. Now, a world without immortal protection is finally falling into my hands!"

As the immortal finished speaking, two claws silently reached out from behind Wu Changsheng, seizing his nape and back of the head, then yanking forcefully.

Crack!!!

With no resistance, Wu Changsheng’s skull was instantly split in half by the claws, his brain and a lot of pulp scattering out, streaming down his entire back.

In an instant, the immortal’s eyes turned dim, and life quietly faded away.

The celestial demon approached swiftly, grabbed Wu Changsheng’s corpse, and descended to the ground, beginning a gluttonous feast amid the downpour.

The immortal’s body, formed through years of cultivation, is a prime tonic in heaven and earth, honed by Spiritual Qi and Primordial Qi—an unrivaled supplement in the world. Having just awakened from slumber, the celestial demon wouldn’t miss this chance for nourishment.

...

Li Xing and his group waited bitterly on the boat. Even though ashore, staying on the rocking, storm-threatened vessel wasn’t a pleasant experience.

Originally, they could have left directly, but clearly, they couldn’t abandon Wu Changsheng’s promise of a hefty reward, so they stayed to wait for his return.

"How much longer must we wait? This person is peculiar, insisting on visiting this strange island." Someone grumbled impatiently, having waited too long.

"Be patient, wait a little longer. He can’t stay away forever. We just need to wait quietly. He’s a wealthy man, and generous too. If we please him this time, he might reward us with silver, enabling us to avoid fishing for generations, perhaps even buying a yard in the city so our kids can attend school and later pursue officialdom."

Upon hearing this, the prospect of such a bright future unlocked everyone’s chatter. All began discussing eagerly, making the cabin lively.

Yet, as they envisioned their future, outside in the storm, a silhouette suddenly approached rapidly. As it landed, the whole boat shivered, startling everyone into looking.

The cabin door swung open, a rain-drenched figure walked in. Focusing their gaze, they realized it wasn’t Wu Changsheng, but a delicate, stunning beauty.

These East Sea fishermen have lived by the shore for generations; the women of the village succumbed to sea winds daily, doing labor, naturally not possessing much beauty. Yet, the beauty before them had skin like snow, eyes like stars, lips as red as white teeth, pitiable and charming.
