I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 175 - 172: The Last Straw (Part 2)
Chapter 175: Chapter 172: The Last Straw (Part 2)
And now.
Xu Qing and Kaya had maneuvered the Vajra and Ice Daoist Soldiers into the final layer of the Reincarnation Ruins. Relying on the power of the Daoist Soldiers alone, it would have been impossible to affect this ’Resurrection Ceremony’.
However.
Xu Qing had the Daoist Soldiers bring the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish and the Level 20 Copper Coin Sword into the Reincarnation Ruins, and now was the time to put them to use.
Most importantly of all.
The Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish was a natural counter to the ’Reincarnation Heart Demon’. In addition, the Level 20 Copper Coin Sword was a Sharp Artifact, adept at Breaking Evil, Demon Extermination, and vanquishing demons and deceit.
And so.
Right in the midst of their power struggle.
Xu Qing had the Vajra Daoist Soldier strike the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish. The resulting sound suppressed the Reincarnation Heart Demon, held the master of the Reincarnation Ruins in check, and stifled their power.
As a result.
The balance in their struggle for power was shattered.
Like the last straw that breaks the camel’s back, the power struggle, which had been stretched to its absolute limit, completely shattered with Xu Qing’s intervention.
RUMBLE!!!
CRACK! CRACK!!!
The experts from the many factions of Moon River Prefecture City seized this moment. They erupted, completely unleashing all their stored power.
All around them.
The bloody chains were snapped, cracking inch by inch. They exploded into a sky full of crimson motes of light that slowly dissipated into the air.
“Hahaha…”
“I’m free! I’ve broken free!!!”
“We did it! We succeeded!!”
“Freedom!!”
“…”
At this moment.
From all directions.
The many experts from the Ninefold Immortal Sect, the Martial Arts Hall Alliance, the Yuehe Prefecture Magistrate’s Office, Jixia Academy, the Dragon Elephant Sect, the Blood Demon Sect, the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect, the Deceitful Palace, and so on, all broke free.
RUMBLE!!!
All sorts of powerful auras erupted completely.
“Amitabha Buddha!”
VMMMM!
DONG! DONG! DONG!
Then, they saw.
The Abbot of Little Leiyin Temple put his palms together. The giant, bloody chains shattered, revealing his true appearance: an elderly, venerable monk with a long white beard that danced in the wild wind, flowing like a dragon’s whiskers.
“Hahaha…”
BOOM!
A wild, arrogant laugh rang out.
Then, they saw.
Crimson Demonic Qi surged to the heavens, punching through the clouds and forming a jet-black Demon Cloud that blotted out a part of the sky, creating a trembling, oppressive atmosphere.
The Lord Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect had also broken free of the bloody chains. His black hair whipped about wildly, and a crimson mask concealed his true face. His black robes billowed in the fierce wind, projecting an aura of dominance and flamboyance.
“Li Shang.”
CRACK!
CLANG!
The cry of a sword rang out.
The Sect Leader of the Ninefold Immortal Sect had the appearance of a young man. He held a Three-foot Cyan Blade Sword in his right hand, having just severed the bloody chains that bound him. His face was a little pale, but his eyes radiated a bone-chilling coldness as he stared at the ’Six Paths of Reincarnation’ before him.
Moreover.
The Sect Leader of the Ninefold Immortal Sect had actually spoken the true name of the master of the Reincarnation Ruins.
Li Shang!
“You are nothing but a ’Wandering Ghost’ who has died once already. How dare you harbor such wild delusions, attempting to defy heaven, change your fate, and reverse life and death.”
The Sect Leader of the Ninefold Immortal Sect rebuked him coldly, “As expected, even the heavens cannot stand to watch this. In the end, your resurrection is impossible.”
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!!!
The next moment.
Bloody chains reformed, becoming wild pythons that shot toward the sky. They attacked the Sect Leader of the Ninefold Immortal Sect from all directions, but he shattered them with his Three-foot Cyan Blade Sword, breaking the chains apart with one wave of Sword Qi after another.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
After that.
The Sect Leader of the Dragon Elephant Sect, the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect, the Palace Master of the Deceitful Palace… all the top-tier experts broke their bonds one by one, regaining their freedom.
DONG! DONG! DONG!!!
Xu Qing had the Vajra Daoist Soldier continue to strike the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish. The sound of the Wooden Fish, formless and invisible, spread out to envelop the entire battlefield.
“I… why am I here?”
Just then.
Lan Yu opened her eyes in confusion. She looked around, then stared at her own hands, her eyes filled with a dazed incomprehension.
Evidently.
The Reincarnation Heart Demon was being suppressed by the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, allowing Lan Yu’s primary consciousness to gain the upper hand and take control of her own body.
“Ah!!!”
The next moment.
A flood of information and memories appeared in Lan Yu’s mind—memories of everything that had happened during this period.
“The… the Reincarnation Heart Demon…”
Lan Yu came to her senses. Having sorted through the thoughts and memories in her mind, she now understood everything. An extremely complicated expression appeared on her face.
After all.
If not for the Reincarnation Heart Demon, Lan Yu never would have grasped Extraordinary power, let alone gotten her revenge and killed all the enemies who had abused her.
Therefore.
The ’Reincarnation Heart Demon’ had, in a way, done her a favor, even though its goal wasn’t to help her get revenge, but to control her and turn her into its Puppet.
’But I don’t want to die.’
Lan Yu took a deep breath, the gaze in her beautiful eyes gradually firming. ’And besides, Reincarnation Heart Demon, I have already repaid my debt to you.’
One must understand.
Before Xu Qing entered the Reincarnation Ruins, Li Shang’s negative will had evolved into the ’Reincarnation Heart Demon’, which controlled six Heart Demon Puppets—namely, Lan Yu, Zhou Yi, Wu Dao Ming, and the others.
It was precisely with the help of these six Heart Demon Puppets—Lan Yu, Zhou Yi, Wu Dao Ming, and the others, each comparable to the ’Pseudo-Third Realm’—that it had been able to suppress everyone present.
That was why Lan Yu felt she had already repaid her debt to the Reincarnation Heart Demon.
Furthermore.
If this continued and Li Shang was completely resurrected, Lan Yu and the others’ consciousnesses would be completely devoured, and they would become true Puppets.
In other words, they would die.
Naturally, Lan Yu did not want to die.
“Reincarnation Heart Demon!!!”
BOOM!
Zhou Yi awoke. His consciousness returned, and over twenty years of memories flooded his mind. After a brief, stunned moment, Zhou Yi let out an enraged roar.
Clearly.
If the Reincarnation Heart Demon had shown Lan Yu something akin to kindness, then for Zhou Yi, there was only an endless, inextinguishable hatred for it in his heart.
It was because of the Reincarnation Heart Demon that Zhou Yi had fallen to the Demon Path, leading to the events of twenty years ago.
Therefore.
Zhou Yi harbored a bone-deep hatred for the Reincarnation Heart Demon.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Immediately after.
Wu Dao Ming and two other Heart Demon Puppets were also affected by the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, and their own consciousnesses began to resurface.
“Hahaha…”
Suddenly.
Among the other two Heart Demon Puppets was the Blood-haired Ancestor, his blood-red hair flying wildly. The Blood-haired Ancestor himself was a man who practiced the Demon Path of Cultivation.
“I, the Blood-haired Ancestor, never thought I’d see this day.”
VMM! VMM!
The Blood-haired Ancestor laughed maniacally, a powerful aura swirling around him. He looked toward the ’Six Paths of Reincarnation’ that Li Shang had manifested, the sky full of bloody chains, and the giant, crimson egg.
“My Lord.”
The Blood-haired Ancestor fell to his knees, kowtowing toward the ’Six Paths of Reincarnation’ and the crimson egg at its center. He shouted loudly, “Your most loyal servant, the ’Blood-haired Ancestor,’ kowtows to you! Your most loyal servant is willing to recognize you as my master and forsake everything for you.”
“Please bestow upon your most loyal servant supreme and mighty power! Your most loyal servant is willing to clear away all obstacles for you.”
As for the last Heart Demon Puppet, a beautiful woman, she did not awaken, because her consciousness had already been completely devoured by the Reincarnation Heart Demon.
In other words.
She was already dead.
“You…”
Wu Dao Ming’s consciousness also returned. After he had processed the memories of the recent past, he noticed the Blood-haired Ancestor beside him.
Especially after hearing the Blood-haired Ancestor’s madness, Wu Dao Ming’s eyelids twitched. Ignoring everything else, he swiftly retreated.
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!!!
The next moment.
From the crimson egg within the ’Six Paths of Reincarnation’, bloody chains shot out like hypodermic needles, piercing into the Blood-haired Ancestor’s body one after another.
Vast Energy poured into the Blood-haired Ancestor’s body.
“Kill!!”
“Kill him!”
“…”
All around.
Everyone had now broken free from their restraints and were slowly recovering their power. Amidst furious roars and battle cries, they joined forces to surround and kill the master of the Reincarnation Ruins.
