I Can Strengthen Infinitely

The entire Celestial Secret City activated like a machine’s gears, with numerous tubes emerging from various places, reaching hundreds in number in no time.

The Demon Sect Leader was unmoved, and slammed down on Celestial Secret City with a fierce palm strike.

Boom!

The entire Celestial Secret City shook instantly, causing numerous buildings to collapse amidst the tremor, but simultaneously, many tubes aimed at the Demon Sect Leader, firing Yin Yang Rays.

As soon as the hundreds of Yin Yang Rays emerged, they formed a dense web, enveloping the Demon Sect Leader, leaving no room to retreat or escape.

This strike was Hong Meng’s power meant to annihilate the opponent.

This force was extremely powerful, and even with the Demon Sect Leader’s strength of the Five Qi Chaoyuan Realm, he might not be able to withstand it.

The ability to use craftsmanship to exert such world-destroying power was enough to prove the might of Heaven’s Work Object.

"I feared this since Elder Hong was around, but now, with my increased strength, Elder Hong of your Celestial Secret City is long dead, and today this Heaven’s Work Object is destined to be mine." The Demon Sect Leader’s sinister aura surged, eventually coalescing into a huge Ghost General figure.

This Ghost General had three heads and six arms, each wielding a blade. Facing the numerous beams, the Ghost General unleashed a frenzied six-blade style attack, moving at lightning speed with countless afterimages, cutting down beams with its blades, initially holding off Celestial Secret City’s offensive.

However, the subsequent attacks came like waves, eventually overwhelming the Ghost General, whose figure dimmed and the blade showed many cracks.

Even the Demon Sect Leader’s strength at the Five Qi Chaoyuan Realm couldn’t withstand Hong Meng’s all-out attack.

As he was about to be submerged amidst the beams, a golden bud inexplicably appeared atop the Demon Sect Leader’s head.

Though small, the bud emitted a light that caught everyone’s attention.

In an instant, the sky turned radiant like daylight due to the bud’s glow.

"Three, Three Flowers at the Top!" Hong Meng exclaimed in shock.

No one anticipated that the Demon Sect Leader’s strength would be far more formidable than previously thought.

Under the bud’s golden glow, surrounding beams naturally began to dissolve, making the outcome of this battle glaringly obvious.

Hong Meng paused momentarily, quickly regaining his senses, and shouted, "Quick, my senior brother must intervene, or all is truly lost."

With that said, Hong Meng swiftly dashed in a particular direction, disappearing from the central square in no time.

"Heaven’s Work Object is no ordinary matter; it forced me to reveal true strength to counter. If I hadn’t secretly entered the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Realm, I couldn’t have handled Celestial Secret City today," the Demon Sect Leader thought, then boldly stepped forward, heading toward Celestial Secret City’s location.

Though Celestial Secret City soared with Heaven’s Work Object’s aid, it remained a target in the eyes of Grandmaster experts.

Seeing the Demon Sect Leader approaching, a Grandmaster lodging in the city couldn’t hold back, leaping off Celestial Secret City from another direction, fleeing into the darkness with the cover of night.

"Facing such powerful enemies at Celestial Secret City, staying here is suicidal; it’s better to seize this opportunity to escape, perhaps avoiding death," the fleeing Grandmaster thought.

Unexpectedly, before escaping a hundred meters from Celestial Secret City, a shadow appeared ahead, wearing a mask.

"Sect Leader commands, no one shall leave Celestial Secret City alive tonight."

With those words, the masked man charged with a long knife, erupting with Grandmaster strength.

"They’ve set up defenses around Celestial Secret City!" The escaping Grandmaster naturally had no desire to engage, seeking ways to escape the masked man quickly, but unexpectedly, two more Demon Sect Grandmasters appeared, surrounding him with their techniques. Despite all efforts, he couldn’t break through the blockade, feeling anxious but utterly helpless.

Being surrounded by three Grandmasters already far exceeded what a single Grandmaster could endure.

Under the pressure emanating from the Demon Sect Leader, the potent force directly pulverized Celestial Secret City, and continuing along this path would soon lead to its complete disintegration.

Qin Yuesheng looked back at Xiahou Rui and said, "Let’s go, we’re leaving."

"Mm." Xiahou Rui nodded, and the two immediately left their spot.

As Celestial Secret City neared destruction, no one wished to remain here buried with it. Disciples of Celestial Secret City hurriedly packed their luggage, carrying wooden boxes on their backs.

Given Celestial Secret City’s ability to soar, Hong Meng naturally prepared for possible collapse one day when in flight.

The wooden boxes held treasures ensuring safe landing for Celestial Secret City disciples.

As everyone began preparing to flee, Hong Meng quietly reached a location in the city. It was a residence, empty except for a stone sculpture of a Ba Xia.

The Ba Xia’s mouth was open, its throat hollow, leading underground.

Hong Meng shouted into Ba Xia’s mouth, "Senior brother, things have gone awry. The Demon Sect Leader leads many followers attacking Celestial Secret City. Junior brother has exhausted all Yin Yang Rays to no effect; Celestial Secret City faces survival crisis. You must come rescue!"

Moments later, the ground suddenly shook, and with cracks forming on Ba Xia’s surface, the stone sculpture exploded with a bang, revealing a passage leading underground.

Hong Meng peeked inside, seeing an elderly man with flowing hair leap from underground. His eyes shone brightly, full of energy, clearly not ordinary.

"Junior brother, why speak only now about such crucial matters?" the elder scolded.

He was one of the masters of Celestial Secret City, Celestial Secret Elder Hong Yi.

"Senior brother, I didn’t realize things were this severe. Our long-stored Yin Yang Rays should have easily dealt with a Five Qi Chaoyuan Realm expert. Who’d expected the Demon Sect Leader’s strength to quietly reach such heights over the years, truly beyond imagination."

Hong Yi stroked his beard, "No need for words. Let’s perform Heaven’s Work Object together and fight him."

Hong Meng laughed joyfully, "As it should be."

...

Between Celestial Secret City and the Demon Sect, numerous grievances existed, though few in the Jianghu knew of this.

Long ago, the Demon Sect Leader and Hong Meng and Hong Yi’s master were senior brothers, their relationship quite good early on. But one year, during a treasure hunt at sea, they inadvertently entered an ocean secret realm with near-death experiences, retrieving two treasures.

One treasure was named Heaven’s Work Object, and the other called Gathering Evil Spirit Heart. Faced with absolute gain, the Demon Sect Leader grew greedy, planning to secretly attack his senior brother to claim both treasures.

But Hong Meng and Hong Yi’s master was alert, avoiding his junior’s ambush, and eventually escaped with Heaven’s Work Object. Since then, their relationship fractured, each leaving the sect, creating the infamous Demon Sect and well-known Celestial Secret City.

Despite this, the Demon Sect Leader was still extremely covetous of his senior brother’s Heaven’s Work Object. So over the years, he diligently trained to elevate his strength, aspiring to seize the book from his senior brother, which he believed rightfully belonged to him.
