I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

Xu Qing shouted.

"Alright!"

BOOM!

There was no hesitation.

Zhang Ling reacted instantly. With a loud cry, he unleashed the power of the Sixth Realm. Xu Qing felt a wave of Dao Rhyme spread out, blanketing the six Ancient Scripture Inheritors.

Thus,

Xu Qing now had backup, so the pressure on him eased considerably, and he let out a slight sigh of relief. Even when fighting one against six, Xu Qing hadn’t been at a disadvantage.

However,

he was, after all, only in the Fifth Realm, not the Sixth. If the battle had continued, Xu Qing would have inevitably started to lose ground.

Now,

with Zhang Ling having fought his way into the deepest part of the Underworld and joining him, the situation was completely different. As Xu Qing and Zhang Ling teamed up, they launched a series of explosive attacks and completely suppressed the six Ancient Scripture Inheritors.

CRACK! CRACK!

SWOOSH!

Before long,

"Amitabha Buddha!"

BOOM!

Golden Buddha’s Light shone everywhere.

It could be seen

that Ran Deng had also fought his way into the depths of the Underworld.

"...!"

Yang Yun’s pupils constricted. He said in a low voice, "This is bad. Zhang Ling and the others have freed themselves up. If they all come for us, we’ll be no match for them."

"Retreat!"

"Let’s fall back for now."

"If we keep fighting, we’ll all die here."

"..."

Clearly,

Yang Yun and his group could see that the Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Hall Yama, and the others they had cultivated were no longer enough to stop Zhang Ling and his allies.

For now,

Yang Yun and his group could still hold on, but if the remaining six Holy Land’s True Inheritors all arrived, they would be completely outmatched and certainly all die.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!!

Without hesitation,

Yang Yun and the others exchanged a look, ready to retreat.

However,

Xu Qing was not about to give them a chance to escape.

"Sword’s Mystery! Chaos Sword Array!"

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!!

In an instant,

Xu Qing roared, and with a swing of his right hand, the Level 10 Meridian Seven Star Sword flew out, transforming into a massive Chaos Sword Array.

Countless streams of Sword Qi filled the air, stirring the Sword Dao Rhyme to form the array. It rapidly expanded to envelop the area, trapping Yang Yun and his group inside, a move Xu Qing had clearly been preparing for some time.

"This..."

"Master... Xu..."

"What a magnificent Chaos Sword Array!!!"

"..."

Involuntarily,

Zhang Ling and the others couldn’t help but stare, dumbfounded.

"You can’t escape."

Xu Qing’s gaze was ice-cold. He stood at the very center of the Sword Array with his hands behind his back, looking down on Yang Yun’s group. His tone was calm, yet filled with the certainty of victory. "Today, you will all die here."

"Kill!!!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

The Chaos Sword Array erupted, unleashing an endless torrent of Chaos Sword Qi that surged toward Yang Yun and his followers. Xu Qing had cut off their escape.

"Damn it!"

"Xu Qing!!!"

"I’ll kill you!!!"

"..."

Yang Yun and his group roared in fury. Pushed into a desperate situation, they actually erupted with even greater combat power. But just then, the other Holy Land’s True Inheritors began to arrive on the battlefield one by one.

"Die!"

SPURT! SPURT! SPURT!!!

Blood splattered everywhere.

Xu Qing and his allies joined forces, surrounding and killing Yang Yun’s group. One by one, the Ancient Scripture Inheritors fell within Xu Qing’s Chaos Sword Array.

CRACK! CRACK!

All sorts of shattering sounds echoed.

RUMBLE!

Explosions rang out as well.

As the Ancient Scripture Inheritors died and fell one after another, the entire Underworld began to break apart, with countless fissures spreading across it.

"AHHH!!!"

Yang Yun let out a bloodcurdling scream. At the last moment, he self-destructed. The terrifying power completely destroyed Xu Qing’s Chaos Sword Array and sent Xu Qing and the others flying.

PTHOO!

Xu Qing coughed up blood, clearly injured by the shockwave from Yang Yun’s self-destruction.

"*Cough, cough...*"

Likewise,

Zhang Ling and the others had all suffered injuries of varying severity. Their faces were pale as they all gathered around Xu Qing. Unconsciously, they had begun to look to him as their leader.

"Hooo..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath, stabilized his aura, and looked around. In a low voice, he said, "This Underworld is starting to shatter. When it breaks apart, the ’Ancient Texts’ will appear."

"At that time,"

"we will seal the Ancient Texts, and our mission can be considered complete."

"Good, good, good."

"We really have Master Xu to thank for this."

"Indeed!"

"If Master Xu hadn’t turned the tide, we probably couldn’t have dealt with the eight Ancient Scripture Inheritors so easily, nor could we have completed the mission so quickly."

"Yes! Yes!"

"..."

Zhang Ling and the others all chimed in.

"Mm."

Xu Qing just gave a slight nod.

In truth,

Xu Qing was very confused. He had originally thought that killing Yang Yun and the others would force the mastermind to show themselves. But in the end, even after he had killed all eight Ancient Scripture Inheritors, the mastermind never appeared. There wasn’t even the slightest trace of them making a move.

’Why did it turn out like this?’

Xu Qing was lost in thought.

’So, was it because Master’s previous attack scared the mastermind so badly that they don’t dare to act again? Or is there something else going on? Was my judgment wrong?’

’If this mission fails to draw out the mastermind behind the Ancient Text Incident, then even if we completely seal the Ancient Texts, the mission won’t be truly complete.’

’I have to remember, this mission isn’t just about sealing the Ancient Texts and resolving the Supreme Dynasty’s crisis. It’s also about finding a way to identify the mastermind behind the Ancient Text Incident.’

’In the beginning, the mastermind was inexplicably drawn out, and Master Chen Wangu managed to injure them, which gave us a few clues. But this time, my plan wasn’t a success, because I failed to draw them out at all.’

CRACK! CRACK!

All around them,

the Underworld was beginning to shatter. It was gradually crumbling, and the destruction had even spread to its deepest part where Xu Qing and the others were. The entire Underworld was being annihilated.

"We should go."

"If we don’t leave now, we’ll be caught up in it."

"Right!"

"..."

Zhang Ling and the others urged.

"Alright."

Xu Qing nodded. "Let’s go."

VMM! VMM!

The next moment,

with a thought from Zhang Ling, spatial fluctuations surged around his body as he prepared to leave the Underworld.

"Wait a moment."

However,

just at that moment,

Xu Qing’s pupils constricted. He had sensed something amiss in the unseen world. "I just noticed something isn’t right. This place we’re in... it isn’t the deepest part of the Underworld."

"What?"

"Master Xu, what did you find?"

"..."

Involuntarily,

Zhang Ling and the others couldn’t help but pause. They all turned to look at Xu Qing, their eyes fixed on his expression, waiting for his answer.

"Hooo..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath and said gravely, "Our mission this time is not just to completely seal the Supreme Dynasty’s Ancient Texts, but also to expose the mastermind behind the Ancient Text Incident."

"Right now,"

"we’ve only eliminated all the Ancient Scripture Inheritors, but we don’t have a single clue about the mastermind. So, even if we take the complete Ancient Texts back with us, the ’Ancient Text Incident’ will be far from over. It will continue to endanger the Human Race of our Profound Yellow Realm."

"Therefore,"

"we must find a clue to the mastermind’s identity."

"But..."

"What Master Xu says makes sense, but how are we supposed to find any clues?"

"Exactly!"

"We have absolutely no leads. We don’t even know where to start looking."

"..."

Zhang Ling and the others shook their heads, looking perplexed.

"I just sensed it."

Xu Qing took another deep breath. "Just now, after all the Ancient Scripture Inheritors died, the entire Underworld began to shatter. But as it shatters, it is mysteriously drawing a kind of Life Origin from the outside world. And this Life Origin is surging toward the core area of the Underworld."

"A core area?"

"Drawing Life Origin from the outside world?"

"This..."

Zhang Ling and the others were stunned for a moment.

"Follow me."

BOOM!

CRACK! CRACK!

Xu Qing took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Boosted by his Sixteen-layered Rule Domain—a full sixteen-fold enhancement—his perception was elevated to a whole new level.

It was precisely because of this

that Xu Qing was able to sense the Underworld’s true secret.
