I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

CRACK! CRACK!

Xu Qing struck repeatedly, completely tearing apart the surrounding space-time. He forcefully carved open a passage. Powerful Energy surged from his hands, stabilizing the surrounding space-time to form a stable tunnel. The end of this tunnel connected to the core area of the Underworld.

"Go."

Xu Qing’s expression was grave. As soon as he discovered the core area of the entire Underworld, an unimaginably terrifying pressure seemed to surge toward him from the unseen world.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and led the way, stepping into the stable tunnel. Zhang Ling and the others exchanged glances before quickly following.

"Let’s go."

"We’re right behind you."

"..."

Zhang Ling and the others murmured amongst themselves.

In the blink of an eye,

Xu Qing was the first to exit the space-time tunnel, arriving in the core area of the Underworld. The entire region was a pitch-black space, like the lonely, dark cosmos.

"As I expected."

Xu Qing’s expression grew solemn. His gaze fell straight ahead, and what entered his sight was an incomparably massive, blood-red altar. It had a total of nine layers, resembling a nine-story pagoda.

HUM! HUM! HUM!!!

At the same time,

Xu Qing glanced around. Wisps of blood-red Essence of Life Origin were surging in from all directions. This Essence of Life Origin was being drawn from the outside world, transforming into strands of crimson mist that all flowed into the nine-layered altar that resembled a pagoda.

Upon closer inspection,

the highest layer of the nine-layered altar appeared ethereal, while the other eight layers were all solid, etched with one blood-red Engraving after another.

Looking even closer,

on each of the eight layers of the altar was a figure. And these figures were none other than the eight Ancient Scripture Inheritors Xu Qing had slain.

’So that’s how it is.’

Xu Qing understood everything with just a single glance. He murmured thoughtfully, ’No wonder I killed eight Ancient Scripture Inheritors in a row but failed to draw out the mastermind.’

’From the very beginning,’

’this altar has been the fundamental goal, the one thing the mastermind truly needs. The Ancient Scripture Inheritors were merely a part of its construction. In fact, the Inheritors were also sacrifices.’

’The reason the mastermind appeared when I was about to kill the ninth Ancient Scripture Inheritor was because the altar wasn’t present. If the ninth Inheritor had died then, it would have left the altar incomplete.’

’So,’

’the mastermind had no choice but to intervene, attempting to save the ninth Ancient Scripture Inheritor.’

’But in the end,’

’I used the Life-saving Talisman given to me by my master, Chen Wangu, and defeated the mastermind. I even managed to kill the ninth Ancient Scripture Inheritor completely.’

’Ultimately,’

’that led to the current situation. The "nine-layered altar" is incomplete. Only the first to the 8th Layer were successfully constructed, while the 9th Layer remains in an ethereal state.’

HUM! HUM! HUM!!!

All around them,

countless streams of blood-red Essence of Life Origin transformed into wisps of crimson mist. They gradually merged into the Nine-Layered Blood Altar, causing the ethereal 9th Layer to slowly solidify.

At that moment,

Xu Qing and the others naturally understood.

This blood-red Essence of Life Origin was coming from the slaughter in the outside world. The armies of the Eight Great Vassal Kings were fighting the armies of the Supreme Dynasty. Countless creatures and members of the Human Race had died, and an unknown number of soldiers had fallen in battle.

It was drawing upon the Essence of Life Origin from these dead members of the Human Race and soldiers.

"Everyone,"

Xu Qing shouted in a low voice, "What are you waiting for? Attack now!"

"Mystical Technique! Chaos Sword Technique!"

CLANG!

Having understood everything, Xu Qing no longer hesitated. With a great shout, he raised the Level 10 Meridian Seven Star Sword in his right hand and slashed down without a second thought.

CRACK! CRACK!

This sword strike from Xu Qing was terrifyingly powerful. The vast Chaos Sword Aura looked as if it could cleave the entire Underworld in two. The horrifying Power descended, crushing everything in its path.

BANG!

An explosion rang out.

But it wasn’t the blood altar that had exploded. Instead, the altar had erupted with an incredibly terrifying Energy. Countless streams of blood-red mist converged, manifesting a horrifying, crimson phantom.

HUM! HUM!

The crimson phantom wielded a blood-red longsword and swung it with all its might. A terrifying, blood-red blade aura blocked Xu Qing’s Chaos Sword Aura, resulting in a stalemate.

"Kill!"

"Karma Fire Golden Lotus!"

"..."

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

The next moment,

Zhang Ling, Ran Deng, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, and the other Holy Land’s True Inheritors all attacked. They followed right behind, unhesitatingly unleashing their most powerful techniques. Terrifying Dao Communication Techniques were cast, blasting toward the crimson phantom.

Instantly,

a terrifying, large-scale battle erupted.

Xu Qing and his allies joined forces, collectively besieging the crimson phantom. However, the phantom’s combat prowess was astonishing. It had somehow fused all the techniques of the eight Ancient Scripture Inheritors.

For a brief period,

Xu Qing and the others were completely unable to take down the crimson phantom. Protected by the phantom, the blood altar continued to operate, ceaselessly absorbing the Essence of Life Origin from the outside world.

Gradually,

the 9th Layer of the altar began to solidify from its ethereal state.

From the unseen world,

Xu Qing had a feeling that if the nine-layered altar were allowed to fully solidify, something unimaginably terrible would happen. The entire Supreme Spirit Realm might even be devoured.

Therefore,

this blood altar had to be destroyed.

"KILL!!!"

RUMBLE!!!

After a continuous, fierce battle,

Xu Qing seized an opportunity. He let out a furious roar and, with a wave of his right hand, sent the Level 10 Meridian Seven Star Sword flying from his grasp.
