I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 167 - 140: Third Layer of the Internal Power Realm

"No, don't kill me, I can serve as your slave." Seeing Qin Yuesheng walk up to him, the Great Ghost Venerable couldn't help but speak.

Having lingered within the seal for so many years, the personalities of these Great Ghost Venerables had long changed. Before they escaped the seal, they feared no death.

But once they escaped the seal, their hearts suddenly yearned intensely for freedom, wishing to continue living to experience this world that had become unfamiliar.

Qin Yuesheng shook his head: "Not of my kind, their hearts must differ. I cannot keep you."

Under the trembling gaze of the Great Ghost Venerable, Qin Yuesheng decisively and without hesitation brought down his palm.

Boom!!!

With one palm, the Great Ghost Venerable's head instantly shattered, along with a large section of the ground underneath his head collapsing.

Qin Yuesheng then grabbed the head of the Great Ghost Venerable and immediately began to decompose it.

[Decomposition successful, acquired 'Ghost Pill x1' 'Water Arts Jade x1']

No time to inspect closely, Qin Yuesheng quickly stuffed both items into the Celestial Demon pouch.

Looking back, Nie Qingshan and Huang Ting each had engaged a Great Ghost Venerable who had completed the summons, preventing them from leaving.

Two Great Ghost Venerable heads floating in the sky saw the situation and immediately flew outside the Cheng Mansion, intending not to summon but to escape directly.

If they complete the summons in places unknown to everyone, it would be exceedingly troublesome to retrieve these two Great Ghost Venerables later. Qin Yuesheng instantly executed the Spiritual Swallow Body Skill, taking large strides in pursuit of the heads.

However, just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared ahead of him, blocking his path.

Qin Yuesheng frowned, the opponent turned out to be the tall, skinny faceless man, or rather, he should be called the Faceless Ghost Venerable now.

"My favorite targets to kill are those young Human Race masters who haven't matured yet. Every deceased one means a potential loss for the Human Race." The Faceless Ghost Venerable laughed.

"Get lost." Qin Yuesheng leaped up, a palm descended from the sky.

Faceless Ghost Venerable, having completed the summon with the tall, skinny faceless man's body, allowed this body to regain its mobility, albeit with a limping, yet unrecovered sensation.

He might not know, but the current strength of Qin Yuesheng is far beyond what these just-summoned, yet not fully restored, Great Ghost Venerables could contend with.

These Great Ghost Venerables once had powerful self-confidence, and after their downfall, they failed to see their status and reality clearly.

The Faceless Ghost Venerable had just thrown a punch, and his arm instantly broke in reverse under Qin Yuesheng's Great Vajra Palm, accompanied by a crisp sound.

"What?!" The Faceless Ghost Venerable shouted incredulously.

"I've incapacitated this body once, now I'll do it again." Qin Yuesheng said coldly, grabbing the Faceless Ghost Venerable's neck and shoulder without hesitation. He burst forth with huge power, in a blink, tearing the Faceless Ghost Venerable's head completely off.

The Faceless Ghost Venerable opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a single word.

The just-summoned body was instantly ripped by this guy, is he still human?!

To completely prevent anyone from recycling this tall, skinny faceless man's corpse, Qin Yuesheng decomposed it entirely into scales.

After completing this, Qin Yuesheng immediately took the Faceless Ghost Venerable's head and leaped out of the Cheng Mansion, heading straight towards a Great Ghost Venerable in the night.

These two Great Ghost Venerables, choosing to flee rather than summon, proved cunning, escaping separately, one to the north, the other south. Qin Yuesheng hesitated but couldn't attend both, he abandoned one and rapidly pursued the other.

These Great Ghost Venerables could never have imagined that their emergence was not grandiosity and awe with thousands of ghosts welcoming them but scattered as a few cats, even Human Race masters intercepting and encircling outside the seal, leaving these remaining two Great Ghost Venerables fleeing as their top priority.

Seeing the figure relentlessly closing in behind, the Great Ghost Venerable furiously accelerated his flight, angrily exclaiming, "If my past power remained, how would I find myself so pathetic, pursued by Human Race martial artists."

A patrolman walking on the street suddenly stopped his copper gong, looked up, and saw a car-wheel-sized human head fly past overhead, its long flowing hair and blue face with fangs were exceptionally frightening.

"Ghost, there's a ghost!" The patrolman was startled, hurriedly running towards a nearby household.

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

Qin Yuesheng, holding a human head, leaped continuously over street and roof eaves, the Faceless Ghost Venerable unwillingly caught kept struggling in his hands.

[Yes/No—Decompose 'Faceless Ghost Venerable']

[Decomposition success rate 0.8%]

"Yes."

[Decomposition failed]

[Yes/No—Decompose 'Faceless Ghost Venerable']

[Decomposition success rate 0.8%]

"Yes."

[Decomposition failed]

...

Qin Yuesheng tirelessly attempted to decompose the Faceless Ghost Venerable, but without injuring the opponent, the decomposition success rate was simply touching.

The Soul-Catching Demon climbed onto Qin Yuesheng's shoulder, its body swaying continuously, seemingly asking if it could consume him.

"You've already eaten five, you can't have this one." Qin Yuesheng immediately refused.

The Soul-Catching Demon instantly wilted like a deflated balloon, slumping limply on Qin Yuesheng's shoulder, twisting and turning as if in protest.

"How about this, if you can catch up to that Great Ghost Venerable in front of me before I do, I'll give you a chance to take a bite out of him," Qin Yuesheng said.

The Soul-Catching Demon immediately became eager and restless, jumping off Qin Yuesheng's shoulder and starting to act independently.

Qin Yuesheng suddenly displayed a mysterious smile, instantly channeling Inner Strength into his legs, and in a flash, he leaped several dozen zhang forward, leaving the Soul-Catching Demon far behind.

The Soul-Catching Demon was stunned, its whole body froze in place, having only moved a little over ten feet since jumping off Qin Yuesheng's shoulder.

Qin Yuesheng soared over the head of the Great Ghost Venerable like a bird, and before the opponent could react, he stepped down directly.

Bam!

The Great Ghost Venerable was instantly slammed to the ground, creating a large pit in the street below.

The embodied Great Ghost Venerable was no match for Qin Yuesheng, let alone this one that's just a head and not yet embodied.

Throwing down the head of the faceless Ghost Venerable in his hand, Qin Yuesheng unleashed the Great Vajra Palm with full force.

Boom!!!

The two heads instantly turned into a pulp under Qin Yuesheng's palm.

"Disassemble."

[Disassembly successful, obtained 'Ghost Pill x1' 'Biluo Eye x1']

[Disassembly successful, obtained 'Ghost Pill x1']

"After disassembling that Great Ghost Venerable just now, I got a Ghost Pill, and now I have two more." Qin Yuesheng picked up the two Ghost Pills and the Biluo Eye.

Since the Ghost Pill's shape was similar to the Inner Core he got from the corpse snake at Cold Mountain Temple last time, Qin Yuesheng tentatively split open a Ghost Pill, and a pure aura instantly overflowed, wafting up to the sky.

Qin Yuesheng inhaled a little, immediately feeling refreshed, with a noticeable increase in Inner Strength in his Dantian.

He realized that this item, like the corpse snake Inner Core, could also replenish Inner Strength.

Qin Yuesheng wasted no time and quickly put the Ghost Pill in his mouth, to prevent the pure aura inside from dissipating, which would be a waste.

A surge of pure aura flooded into his Dantian, quickly filling it to the brink, with a faint feeling of bursting.

Qin Yuesheng quickly sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Profound Celestial Scripture, sending this new Inner Strength to the Earth Gate Acupoint on his back.

Qin Yuesheng's robes silently began moving, with a large amount of white mist floating out of the Youjing Acupoint on his back, rising vertically.

Boom!

A ray of light shot out from Qin Yuesheng's back, crashing onto the street and creating a pit.

Earth Gate Acupoint, breakthrough!

Qin Yuesheng has formally stepped into the Second Layer of the Internal Power Realm!

Having broken through two of the body's ten major qi-gathering acupoints, Qin Yuesheng's speed of cultivating Inner Strength has greatly improved.

"With two more Ghost Pills, I should be able to ascend one or two more levels." Qin Yuesheng threw one of the remaining Ghost Pills into his mouth.

His Dantian soon felt full again, but as it approached the point of breakthrough, the momentum suddenly halted, as if lacking strength.

Being so close, Qin Yuesheng hurriedly placed the second Ghost Pill into his mouth.

The human body has ten qi-gathering acupoints on the back, from bottom to top: Youjing, Earth Gate, Congtai, Water Condensing, Mountain Confluence, Zhongdu, Source Opening, Top Soothing, Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Palace.

Boom!

With Qin Yuesheng's continued breakthrough, the Congtai Acupoint burst open, and feeling the empty Dantian, devoid of any Inner Strength, Qin Yuesheng quickly practiced the Profound Celestial Scripture.

If someone were standing nearby, they would see three vertical white rings behind Qin Yuesheng, with a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi being absorbed into these rings, transforming into Qin Yuesheng's Inner Strength.

Eventually, the Soul-Catching Demon arrived on-site, lazily crawling back onto Qin Yuesheng's shoulder, like a salted fish, unmoving.

After a short while, Qin Yuesheng slowly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance flickering, and he seemed to have undergone some changes.

"This is the Third Layer of the Internal Power Realm." Qin Yuesheng mused, suddenly reaching down to grab a broken piece of blue brick.

Infusing it with a surge of Inner Strength, Qin Yuesheng lightly tossed it several zhang away.

Bam!

Three breaths later, the blue brick shattered into a pile of dust.

"Indeed, upon reaching this realm, the control over Inner Strength becomes far more meticulous and refined." Qin Yuesheng thought to himself.

Rising to his feet, he immediately headed towards Cheng Mansion, as the escape of a Great Ghost Venerable tonight would surely become a grave concern for the Seven Star Monitor, and although Qin Yuesheng did his best, there's really nothing he could do about the other one that escaped.
