I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 174 - 172: The Last Straw That Breaks the Camel’s Back
Chapter 174: Chapter 172: The Last Straw That Breaks the Camel’s Back
The Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish was extremely powerful. It was especially effective at suppressing entities like the Heart Demon, possessing an immense and overwhelming Mighty Power.
Furthermore.
The Vajra Daoist Soldier was a Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldier, comparable to the Sixth Level of True Realm and nearly equivalent to the Extraordinary Extreme. It was capable of fully unleashing the Mighty Power of the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish.
Therefore.
The Reincarnation Heart Demons inside Lan Yu and Zhou Yi were suppressed by the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, which caused this phenomenon: a scene of their Demonic Qi boiling.
Most importantly.
Lan Yu’s and Zhou Yi’s own consciousness had not been completely devoured by the Reincarnation Heart Demons; they still retained their awareness. Thus, when the Reincarnation Heart Demons inside them were suppressed by the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, their own consciousness began to reawaken and fight for control.
“This…”
Shock.
Utter shock.
The Master of the Ruined Pavilion never imagined such a thing could happen. He couldn’t help but say, “Fellow Daoist, you’ve also mastered the techniques of the Buddhist Sect? You…”
DONG! DONG! DONG!!!
The sound of the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish continued to ring out, growing ever more resonant, as if endless Buddhist hymns were echoing from all directions.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!!!
In that instant.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation trembled, reacting violently. The master of the Reincarnation Ruins, who had yet to fully revive, was also affected by the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish.
Therefore.
Streaks of blood-red chains, like frenzied pythons and flood dragons, roared like dragons and charged the Vajra Daoist Soldier from all directions, baring fangs and brandishing claws.
“Sixth Level Cold Ice True Intent!”
HUMMM!
The Ice Daoist Soldier let out a sharp cry and charged forward. With a single thought, the Level 20 Copper Coin Sword materialized, unleashing infinite Sword Qi. Every strand of Sword Qi contained layers of Thunderbolt—Breaking Evil, Demon Extermination, slaying Demons, and annihilating Deceit—making its Mighty Power incredibly formidable.
CRACK! CRACK!
The Level 20 Copper Coin Sword’s Mighty Power was similarly boundless. Previously, because Xu Qing’s Cultivation was insufficient, he had been unable to truly unleash the sword’s full Mighty Power.
Now.
The Tier Sixteen Ice Daoist Soldier, wielding the Level 20 Copper Coin Sword, was more than capable of truly unleashing its boundless Mighty Power.
The powerful Sword Qi severed the blood-red chains one after another. They shattered inch by inch, bursting into a sky full of blood-red motes of light before dissipating into the surroundings.
“Cough, cough…”
The Ice Daoist Soldier was also injured. Although the Level 20 Copper Coin Sword had unleashed a sky full of Sword Qi and Thunderbolt, there were simply too many blood-red chains. One still managed to break through the blockade, piercing her chest and leaving a see-through hole from which no blood flowed.
After all, the Ice Daoist Soldier was not a true living being, but a Daoist Soldier. Although she looked almost identical to a real person on the outside, she was not made of real flesh and blood.
There were still differences.
“This…”
“What?”
“She…”
“She’s not actually human.”
“…”
All around.
Expressions of astonishment appeared on everyone’s faces. Cold Ice and Vajra were so lifelike that it was nearly impossible to tell the difference, so everyone had assumed they were real humans.
But now.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation had manifested blood-red chains that pierced the Ice Daoist Soldier’s chest, yet not a single drop of blood flowed, nor were there any human organs to be seen.
Only then.
Did the crowd realize that Cold Ice and Vajra were not truly human.
’The Master of the Ruined Pavilion just called them ’Fellow Daoists,’ and the Master of the Ruined Pavilion we see isn’t his true self either, but just an avatar formed from a Paperman Daoist. Even though he looks no different from a normal person, he isn’t fundamentally human either.’
’Since the Master of the Ruined Pavilion would call them ’Fellow Daoists,’ it must mean that the master behind them is also a member of the Taoist Sect. This must be a technique similar to the Paperman Daoist.’
’That’s most likely the case.’
’…’
These were the deductions and thoughts that ran through the minds of the crowd.
“Hm?”
“I feel the power of the blood-red chains weakening.”
“This…”
At this moment.
The crowd discovered something that both shocked and delighted them: the power of the blood-red chains binding them had weakened by about a tenth.
Shock.
Joy.
Utter excitement.
“Now’s our chance!”
“Quick!!”
“Break free from these chains!”
“…”
Immediately.
Everyone roared. Though much of their power had been siphoned away by the Six Paths of Reincarnation while they were bound.
In reality.
A constant struggle had been taking place between the master of the Reincarnation Ruins and the captives. The top experts from the major powers of Moon River Prefecture City had been conserving their strength, waiting for the perfect moment to break free.
Meanwhile.
The master of the Reincarnation Ruins was single-mindedly absorbing everyone’s power, using it as nourishment in a vain attempt to be reborn.
The manifestation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was merely a projection, an illusion. It naturally could not compare to the true Six Paths of Reincarnation, but it was an external manifestation of the power of the master of the Reincarnation Ruins.
Originally, in the power struggle between the master of the Reincarnation Ruins and the crowd, the master had indeed held the upper hand. If things had continued, after absorbing the Origin and Power of every being present, the giant blood-red egg within the Six Paths of Reincarnation would have shattered. A new life would have been gestated, and the master of the Reincarnation Ruins could have revived within that newly gestated body.
