I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

"DETONATE!"

BOOM!

CRACK!!

Xu Qing roared in fury again. With a mere thought, he unhesitatingly self-destructed the Level 10 Meridian Seven Star Sword in his hand. The resulting explosion unleashed a terrifyingly immense Mighty Power, and with the help of Zhang Ling and the others, it blasted the blood-red phantom away.

"Now’s the time."

CLANG!

CRACK! CRACK!

Xu Qing raised both hands. "Sword’s Mystery! Chaos Sword Technique! My body shall become the sword!"

The sound of swords humming filled the air once more.

With a great shout, Xu Qing unleashed his full Mighty Power. Endless Chaos Sword Qi emanated from his body before condensing, transforming him into an unbelievably terrifying Chaos Sword.

"Sunder!"

SWISH!

With another cry, Xu Qing, his body now a blade, shot forward like a veritable Chaos Sword, aiming straight for the blood-red altar. Now that the altar had lost the protection of the blood-red phantom, Xu Qing’s attack struck it squarely.

CRACK! CRACK!

Instantly, the full Mighty Power of Xu Qing’s attack was unleashed upon the blood-red altar. A terrifying force erupted. Unable to withstand the blow, the blood-red altar was covered in countless spreading cracks.

"AHHH!!!"

The blood-red phantom let out a series of agonizing wails. As the blood-red altar took damage, the phantom could no longer sustain itself and began to break apart, dissolving into a diffuse blood-red mist.

"Die!"

"Kill!!"

"..."

BANG! BANG! BANG!!!

Zhang Ling and the others seized the opportunity, striking swiftly. Unleashing their Dao Communication Techniques, they landed every attack squarely on the blood-red phantom.

As a result, the blood-red phantom exploded and dissipated completely, thoroughly routed by Zhang Ling and his allies.

"It’s over."

HUMMM!

Xu Qing’s figure reappeared. The Chaos Sword Qi around him dissipated, returning him to his original form. With a wave of his right hand, a black longsword materialized in his grasp.

This, too, was a Level 10 Top-Grade Transcendent Treasure, named the Black Dragon Sword. Xu Qing had also upgraded it to Level 10 to serve as a backup weapon.

"Kill!"

CLANG!

Xu Qing’s gaze turned glacial. With a wave of his right hand, the Level 10 Black Dragon Sword descended as Chaos Sword Qi burst forth. Empowered by the sword, each strand of Chaos Sword Qi transformed into a black dragon. They converged, coalescing into a single nine-clawed black dragon that pounced on the blood-red altar.

CRACK! CRACK!

BOOM!

An explosion rang out.

The blood-red altar was devastated by Xu Qing once more. Not only did the 9th Layer begin to crumble, but even the previously unshakable first through 8th Layers started to collapse.

"Again!"

HUMMM!

Xu Qing raised the Level 10 Black Dragon Sword again, locking onto the blood-red altar and preparing to strike once more. But just at that moment...

From the unseen,

Xu Qing was struck by a terrifying sense of crisis. It was as if an unbelievably powerful being, one that completely surpassed him, had let a sliver of its presence leak out.

BOOM!

CRACK! CRACK!

High above,

Xu Qing looked up to see a terrifying Mighty Power emerge. A dreadful force tore the very sky asunder as a hand, as fair and smooth as jade, crossed endless time and space. This time, it had gathered an even greater Mighty Power. It locked onto Xu Qing and reached straight for him.

In that single instant, the space and time around Xu Qing solidified. Everything froze, as if someone had pressed pause. Even his thoughts were frozen solid.

This was an unimaginable Power.

It completely transcended Xu Qing’s level and Realm.

They weren’t even in the same league.

Even if Xu Qing had entered the Sixth Realm, he would have been powerless to resist; he would have been completely frozen by this unimaginable Power all the same.

"!!!"

Nearby, Zhang Ling and the others’ eyes went wide. They were affected as well, unable to move an inch. All they could do was watch helplessly as the Slender Hands descended from the sky, reaching for Xu Qing.

"Insolent!"

CLANG!!!

At the critical moment,

everyone present heard the hum of a sword. A cyan longsword materialized behind Xu Qing, slowly floating up to hover above his head.

HUM! HUM!

Then, the cyan longsword transformed into the likeness of Chen Wangu.

Clearly, the wisp of consciousness Chen Wangu had left on Xu Qing had been triggered. Though it was only a single sliver of his consciousness, it shattered the surrounding suppressive Power, allowing Xu Qing to return to normal.

Zhang Ling and the others quickly recovered as well.

HUMMM!

Suddenly,

the light of a bronze lamp flared. In the distance, a Bronze Lamp materialized. Xu Qing had crossed paths with these two entities before.

But this time,

it wasn’t just the Slender Hands and the Bronze Lamp that appeared. A pitch-black scarecrow, shrouded in a dense, pitch-black fog, had also materialized.

Furthermore,

there was also an utterly grotesque Clown Mask.

Four of the hidden masterminds had now appeared.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

At this moment,

phantasmal figures began to emerge one after another on the bodies of Zhang Ling, Ran Deng, Xu Lili, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, Zhao Gongming, the Golden Crow Crown Prince, the Demon Suppression Emperor, and Hengcha Zhi—the eight Direct Disciples of the Sacred Lands.

Upon closer inspection,

these phantasmal figures were none other than Shakyamuni Buddha, the Queen Mother of the West, Qing Wu, the Jade Emperor, a Saint, the Master of Nine Nether Sacred Land, the Kunlun Daoist Monarch, and the Eternal Holy Land Master.

The Masters of the Eight Great Sacred Lands had all revealed themselves.

"This..."

Xu Qing was utterly shocked.

After all,

with Chen Wangu included,

the Masters of the Nine Great Sacred Lands had all made an appearance. Though their true bodies weren’t present, they had each manifested an avatar, attached to their respective Direct Disciple by some special means.

Take Chen Wangu, for example.

He had personally given Xu Qing a life-saving Sword Talisman.

"This is no longer a battle you can interfere in."

The phantasmal avatar formed from Chen Wangu’s wisp of consciousness gazed at Xu Qing and the others. "Your mission has been completed successfully," it said.

"You may all leave now."

BOOM!

As soon as the words were spoken,

the phantasmal avatar of Chen Wangu’s consciousness waved its right hand. An indescribable Power surged forth, enveloping Xu Qing and all the others.

"Go!"

HUM! HUM! HUM!!!

In that instant,

Xu Qing and the others lost consciousness. They could no longer perceive the outside world, as if they had been plunged into endless darkness and solitude.

"!!!"

Horror filled their hearts.

BOOM!

Suddenly,

a shocking event transpired.

The sky was torn asunder, countless fissures spreading across it like celestial scars. A massive, emaciated hand reached down, grabbing for Xu Qing and the others. It clearly had no intention of letting them escape so easily.

"Insolent!"

A flicker of anger crossed Chen Wangu’s face.

However,

Chen Wangu had only a single wisp of consciousness remaining. Sending Xu Qing and the others away had already consumed all of its Power.

"Begone!"

Suddenly, Qing Wu looked up. A boundless Martial Dao intent flooded from the withered old man as he raised his right hand and shattered the massive, emaciated hand.

HUM! HUM! HUM!!!

In an instant,

the avatars of the Kunlun Daoist Monarch and the others attacked in succession, charging toward the heavens. The Slender Hands, Bronze Lamp, Black Scarecrow, and Clown Mask also struck out swiftly.

They took the fight high into the nine heavens, and a series of epic battles erupted...

"The Dark Forbidden Land."

The phantasmal figure formed from Chen Wangu’s wisp of consciousness began to fade, having exhausted all its Power and unable to maintain its form any longer.

And so,

the rest of the battle was left to the Kunlun Daoist Monarch and the others.

However,

the phantasmal figure of Chen Wangu’s consciousness still took a final, deep breath. It murmured to itself, having already spoken the true identity and origin of the hidden masterminds.

It was: the Dark Forbidden Land.

The Sea of Chaos.

It gave birth to the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms, containing countless worlds, universes, spacetimes, and planes of existence.

Generally speaking,

ordered from smallest to largest,

they are: Little Worlds, Great Worlds, Small Thousand Worlds, Grand Thousand Worlds, and Origin Worlds.

The Profound Yellow Realm is one such Origin World.

According to legend,

if one could traverse the boundless Sea of Chaos, one could find the Unique True Realm. Countless legends speak of the Unique True Realm, but no one has ever truly laid eyes upon it.

Furthermore,

besides the Origin Worlds,

the Sea of Chaos also contains the Nine Great Forbidden Lands.

The Dark Forbidden Land is one of these Nine Great Forbidden Lands.

Within the Forbidden Lands,

dwell beings who have surpassed the Seventh and Eighth Realms—the Undying Immortals.
