Demon Shadow burst into wild laughter, and endless Demonic Qi churned with it, like a host of demons dancing wildly.
Yang Lingtian's gaze turned cold as he shielded Huang Yuelan and Chen Yiyue behind him.
He could clearly sense that although the Demon Shadow before him was only a wisp of lingering soul,
the pressure it exuded absolutely surpassed that of an ordinary Peak Divine Sect Realm expert!
It was comparable to a half-step Divine Lord.
In some respects, it was even stranger and more terrifying than a half-step Divine Lord.

"Little girl, and you too, Artifact Spirit—give up resisting obediently."
"Merge into this lord's demonic soul and become part of this lord's power!"
Demon Shadow issued his final ultimatum, his voice brimming with domineering menace.
"Dream on!" Huang Yuelan shouted delicately, blazing fury burning in her eyes.

"Senior, help me!" Huang Yuelan called out to the Bright Moon Artifact Spirit.
"Yes, Little Mistress."
Without the slightest hesitation, the Bright Moon Artifact Spirit transformed into a dazzling stream of moonlight and merged into Huang Yuelan's body.
Buzz! In an instant, Huang Yuelan's aura soared wildly!
Pure moonlight blossomed from within her, sacred and vast.
The entire Bright Moon Divine Palace seemed to come alive. Endless runes shone, and surging power converged on Huang Yuelan like a tidal wave.
Her aura climbed steadily under the dual enhancement of the divine palace and the Artifact Spirit.
In the end, Huang Yuelan's aura settled firmly at a level comparable to the Peak Divine Sect Realm.
Of course, this was not her cultivation. It was power borrowed
