I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Seeing Yalan’s manifestation getting closer and closer to the refining furnace, Shen You suddenly opened his eyes and controlled the massive banner in mid-air to wrap around Yalan’s manifestation, making it impossible for her to advance further.

For a moment, the situation was at a standoff.

"If I can use both of you to refine the ’Heaven-Covering Banner’, it would definitely make this innate treasure even more formidable," Shen You said as he stood up, coldly smiling at the manifestations of Shi Lin and Yalan.

"Back then, fearing any unexpected events, I took out some of my reserves to prepare a few things. Now, using them on you two immortals, it’s not such a loss," Shen You waved his hand, and the five long nails on his palm flew out, growing larger with the wind.

As the five nails grew to the size of a door panel, Qin Yuesheng could finally see that each nail concealed a banner within.

These five banners were in different colors: red, yellow, green, blue, and white.

As soon as the five banners touched the ground, Shi Lin and Yalan’s expressions dramatically changed.

"The Five Directions Sealing Immortal Array!"

Legend has it that in the ancient times, there was a powerful immortal in the celestial realm proficient in arrays, among which the ’Five Directions Sealing Immortal Array’ was the most famous. Once the array was set, even the immortals with the power to overturn the sky and earth couldn’t escape.

Accompanying this array was the ’Immortal-Burning Fierce Sun Array’. Together, they formed the strongest killing move of that powerful immortal.

Now that Shen You had set up the Five Directions Sealing Immortal Array, how could Shi Lin and Yalan not be shocked?

With the five banners on the ground, Yalan’s manifestation wrapped by the Heaven-Covering Banner naturally couldn’t escape and could only watch herself enter the array, filled with worry.

Shen You obtained this Five Directions Sealing Immortal Array from who knows where. If he had also acquired the Immortal-Burning Fierce Sun Array, killing her would only be a thought away.

Without Yalan’s assistance, with only Shi Lin remaining, the hope of defeating Shen You seemed slim.

"What a pity, what a pity. Wandering the celestial realm for years, I only chanced upon this sealing array by coincidence. But it’s enough to deal with you," Shen You said, looking at Yalan’s motionless manifestation, and then summoned a blood-red scythe, slashing it toward Yalan’s manifestation.

This was his natal treasure, and cutting down an immortal’s manifestation was an easy task.

If Yalan could evade it, that would be fortunate, but if not, she could only watch her manifestation being destroyed.

Whoosh!

The blood-red scythe easily slashed across Yalan’s manifestation’s neck, leaving a long gash; her head then fell to the ground, and the manifestation dissipated on the spot.

As for Yalan’s true self, seated cross-legged with eyes closed, she instantly vomited a mouthful of fresh blood and fell powerlessly to the ground after her manifestation was destroyed.

The manifestation is the spiritual essence of an immortal, as crucial as their natal treasure. Once harmed, the body is also affected.

Seeing this scene, Shi Lin was momentarily distracted, and Shen You seized the opening. Shen You’s manifestation suddenly lifted Shi Lin’s manifestation, exerting force with all six arms. Even the stone giant’s body could only be torn to pieces in front of him.

The two immortals were both injured, and the situation became extremely dire.

Qin Yuesheng, seeing this, immediately took an object out from his Sumeru bag, the Time Holy Wheel he had acquired from Jiang Taicang and kept until now.

This wheel possesses the powerful and formidable ability to reverse the river of time and travel to the past and future. Currently, it carries only one last Yellow Pearl, which is extremely precious.

Back then, Qin Yuesheng didn’t know its purpose, but now he understands clearly.

That is, the Time Holy Wheel is the most important step from the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Realm to the Saint Wheel Realm.

The Saint Wheel Realm refers to cultivating a holy wheel within and thereby mastering a more powerful strength.

Even after a strong individual in the Saint Wheel Realm dies, the holy wheel does not perish with them; it eternally exists in the world. Any expert in the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Realm who acquires it can save hundreds of years of arduous cultivation, avoiding the suffering of cultivating a holy wheel.

On this day, Qin Yuesheng finally awaited his moment.

Raising the Time Holy Wheel high with both hands, the three golden flowers at the top reacted as if in resonance, spinning around the Time Holy Wheel.

The previously rusty-looking, seemingly ordinary holy wheel began to crack on the surface, copper rust flaking off to reveal its true form.

Buzz!

The Time Holy Wheel made a loud cry upon contacting Qin Yuesheng’s Three Flowers, floating automatically behind his head, suddenly emitting radiant light, illuminating everything around.

The power of time quietly emerged.

Earth and yellow soil, tender shoots spurted forth, flowers blossomed, flowers withered, and tender shoots shriveled.

A cicada crawled out from the soil; in just an instant, it aged, died, and turned into a dry corpse.

Everything before Qin Yuesheng also changed in an instant.

He could see wisps of yellow smoke flowing in the air, lacking physical form, hence capable of passing through anything; even someone as strong as Shen You could not avoid it.

Although the effect was minimal, Qin Yuesheng could clearly see some changes occurring on Shen You’s body due to the yellow smoke.

This change, though extremely inconspicuous, indeed existed.

It was... aging!

These yellow smokes were time!

Every corner of the world, every person, is constantly enduring time drifting past them, and contact with time takes away their vitality, causing their body to age.
