I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 190 - 182: Devouring Technique, Mysterious: Deserted Village
Chapter 190: Chapter 182: Devouring Technique, Mysterious: Deserted Village
In the great realm of the “Second Realm: Extraordinary,” one must comprehend the nature of heaven and earth to grasp its Mental Realms. By using the power of these Mental Realms, one can transform, shed their Mortal Body, and step into the “Extraordinary.”
Generally speaking, everyone’s energy and Soul Strength are limited. Mastering nine Mental Realms simultaneously is already the absolute Extreme; nine is the maximum.
Thus, Xu Qing had mastered nine Mental Realms and cultivated all of them to the Fifth Layer Perfection. This was already terrifying, practically reaching the limits of humanity.
In reality, however, Xu Qing could feel that he had no such limits. This meant that as long as he was willing, he could master an infinite number of different Mental Realms with the help of the Encyclopedia of All Things.
Nine Mental Realms was just the beginning.
However, Xu Qing’s time was limited.
Practicing Contemplation Techniques took time—time to acquire Experience Points. For now, mastering nine Mental Realms was more than enough.
There was no need to cultivate any more Martial Arts.
“Baji Celestial Roc Fist!”
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
Xu Qing began to practice the brand-new Fist Technique. His speed was incredible, a chaotic blur that was impossible to follow. It was simply too fast.
[Experience +1]
Evidently, after fusing the Level 1 Martial Arts Baji Fist and the Level 10 Celestial Roc Technique, Xu Qing could still complete one full practice routine in a single second.
Of course, after fusing the Level 11 Life-taking Thirteen Swords and the Level 10 Celestial Sword Technique to form the new Life-taking Heavenly Sword Technique, he could also complete a full practice routine in one second.
This would earn him one Experience Point.
Nothing had changed.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye.
「Twenty days later.」
Xu Qing had once again accumulated enough Experience Points.
He could level up again.
…
[Baji Celestial Roc Fist LV9: 576,000/500,000 (Upgradeable!)]
…
[Life-taking Heavenly Sword Technique LV9: 576,000/500,000 (Upgradeable!)]
…
[Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method LV15: 14,180,000/8,192,000 (Upgradeable!)]
…
“Not bad.”
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. “Upgrade.”
WENG! WENG! WENG!!!
This time, as the Encyclopedia of All Things glowed, the three main Spell Formulas Xu Qing focused on were upgraded again, and his Cultivation rose along with them.
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Baji Celestial Roc Fist LV10: 76,000/1,000,000 (Mastered Sixth Realm Martial Dao Realm, Sixth Level of Heaven-Peng Realm.)]
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Life-taking Heavenly Sword Technique LV10: 76,000/1,000,000 (Mastered six types of Sixth Layer Sword Intent: Life-taking, Deceitful Sword, Human Sword, Divine Sword, Earth Sword, and Celestial Sword.)]
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method LV16: 5,988,000/16,384,000 (Mastered Sixth Realm’s Devouring Demon Intent.)]
…
The three upgrades were complete.
Similarly, Xu Qing’s Cultivation broke through from the Peak of the Fifth Realm to the Initial Entry of the Sixth Realm of Realm.
His strength and realm had both advanced.
“Mm.”
Xu Qing felt the changes within himself and nodded in satisfaction. With a thought, his Demon Technique circulated, and his eyes turned pure black as a terrifying Demon Nature brewed within him.
At the same time.
WENG! WENG! WENG!!!
As Xu Qing stepped into the “Sixth Realm of Realm,” the “Devouring Demon Technique” finally revealed its truly terrifying aspect.
“Devouring Technique!”
BOOM!
Xu Qing let out a soft cry. He raised his right hand, and in his palm, the purest Devouring Demon Intent condensed into something like a black hole.
A single glance was enough.
It was as if this black hole in his palm could devour one’s very soul and consciousness.
The Devouring Technique.
This was a technique one could only use after cultivating the “Devouring Demon Technique” to a certain level. The minimum requirement was mastering the Sixth Level of Devouring Demon Intent, then circulating it with the Secret Technique recorded in the Devouring Demon Technique to unleash the “Devouring Technique.”
The Devouring Technique had only one primary ability.
For instance, after defeating an enemy, Xu Qing could use the Devouring Technique on them to devour their every Origin, using it as nourishment to supplement his own power and even raise his Cultivation.
Most importantly, the “Devouring Technique” could also directly devour the Mental Realms an enemy had cultivated, digest them, and merge them into his own Devouring Demon Intent.
The ability to devour an enemy’s Mental Realms and make them his own.
This was utterly terrifying.
“This…”
A look of shock couldn’t help but appear on Xu Qing’s face. ’I never thought the “Devouring Demon Technique” would be so domineering, so unreasonable.’
“Excellent, excellent.”
After his initial shock, Xu Qing nodded, deeply satisfied. ’Ye Langtian is worthy of being called a “Child of Fortune.” The Cultivation Technique a “Child of Fortune” majors in is truly in a league of its own.’
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye.
「Forty days later.」
Xu Qing, of course, practiced his Martial Arts Secret Techniques nonstop every day, then spent his nights in Meditation and circulating the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method. He gained a large amount of Experience Points daily.
…
[Baji Celestial Roc Fist LV10: 1,230,000/1,000,000 (Upgradeable!)]
…
[Life-taking Heavenly Sword Technique LV10: 1,230,000/1,000,000 (Upgradeable!)]
…
[Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method: 29,988,000/16,384,000 (Upgradeable!)]
…
He had enough Experience Points again.
“Upgrade,” Xu Qing said.
WENG! WENG! WENG!!!
The Encyclopedia of All Things flickered with a rather intense fluorescent light.
In an instant, the three upgrades were complete.
…
[Baji Celestial Roc Fist: 230,000/2,000,000 (Mastered the Sixth Layer Perfection Sky Peng Realm and Martial Arts Realm.)]
…
[Life-taking Heavenly Sword Technique: 230,000/2,000,000 (Mastered a total of six Sword Intents at the Sixth Layer Perfection: Life-taking, Deceitful Sword, Human Sword, Divine Sword, Earth Sword, and Celestial Sword.)]
…
[Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method: 13,604,000/32,768,000 (Mastered the Sixth Layer Perfection Devouring Demon Intent.)]
…
“Mm.”
Xu Qing closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes within himself. Nine Mental Realms, all at the Sixth Layer Perfection, flowed around him, continuously strengthening his physical body and increasing his power.
“Huu…”
Xu Qing took a deep breath. ’I’ve finally reached the Perfection of the Sixth Realm of Realm. There are still Three Realms to go before I reach Ninth Realm Perfection.’
’I’m progressing very quickly,’ Xu Qing thought to himself.
Time flew by.
「Night fell.」
SWISH!
Just then, a streak of light shot through the air and swiftly fell into Xu Qing’s courtyard, only to be intercepted mid-flight by the Vajra Daoist Soldier. It was a Help-Seeking Jade Talisman.
Moreover, this Help-Seeking Jade Talisman was stained with Ye Langtian’s aura.
“Master.”
Without hesitation, the Vajra Daoist Soldier immediately came to the door of Xu Qing’s bedroom. “A Help-Seeking Jade Talisman from Ye Langtian.”
“Hm?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing immediately stopped his Meditation Demon Technique and pushed open his bedroom door. A terrifying wave of Demonic Qi rushed out, as if a Great Demon had awakened.
“Ye Langtian?”
Xu Qing stood at the door, his pitch-black eyes fixed on the Vajra Daoist Soldier.
“Yes, Master.”
The Vajra Daoist Soldier nodded respectfully and deferentially handed the Help-seeking Jade Scroll in its hand to Xu Qing. “This is the Help-seeking Jade Scroll. Please inspect it, Master.”
“Alright.”
Xu Qing took it and found that this Help-seeking Jade Scroll had been created through a very special refining method. It was inscribed with some kind of restriction that could only be undone using the Devouring Demon Technique.
WENG!
Without hesitation, Xu Qing circulated his Devouring Demon Technique, injecting powerful Demonic Qi into the scroll. The Help-seeking Jade Scroll was instantly activated.
BOOM!
The next moment, the Help-seeking Jade Scroll exploded. The information it contained transformed into a black stream of light that shot into the space between Xu Qing’s eyebrows, expanding into a vast amount of information.
“This…”
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment before closing his eyes to slowly process the information within the Help-seeking Jade Scroll. ’Ye Langtian is in danger.’
For some time now, Ye Langtian had been having a smooth run of things, with everything going his way. He had easily accomplished all the tasks Xu Qing had given him.
He truly showed signs of being a “Child of Fortune.”
Most importantly, Ye Langtian’s existence had saved Xu Qing a lot of trouble.
“’Mysterious: Deserted Village’.”
Xu Qing took a deep breath.
According to the information in the jade scroll, back then in Qingbei Town, the Ye Family was completely wiped out. Only Ye Langtian escaped Qingbei Town with the help of Du Cangying, but he then accidentally stumbled into the “Mysterious: Deserted Village.”
As a result, not only did Ye Langtian survive, but he even brought a Demon Technique out of the “Mysterious: Deserted Village”—the “Devouring Demon Technique,” an incredibly domineering technique.
Or rather, before one reached the Sixth Turn Demon Pill Realm, the Devouring Demon Technique didn’t display its truly domineering and demonic aspects, only offering some corresponding boosts.
It wasn’t until Xu Qing cultivated the Devouring Demon Technique to the Sixth Turn Demon Pill Realm, mastered the Sixth Level of Devouring Demon Intent, and perfected the “Devouring Technique” that its truly domineering and demonic side was revealed.
’In that case, Ye Langtian’s current predicament is related to me.’
Xu Qing pondered. ’The origin of the Devouring Demon Technique is unknown. According to the help message from Ye Langtian, he was out on a mission when he was suddenly trapped in the “Mysterious: Deserted Village.”
’And Ye Langtian has been trapped ever since. He hasn’t been able to escape the “Mysterious: Deserted Village.” If this continues and he still can’t get out, he’ll surely be worn down and die in there.’
There was another point.
Having been trapped in the deserted village for so long, Ye Langtian had figured some things out. There was a connection between “Mysterious: Deserted Village” and the “Devouring Demon Technique.”
In other words, if Ye Langtian were to die…
…then the “Mysterious: Deserted Village” would come for him next.
’Hm.’ Xu Qing mused internally, ’Ye Langtian definitely can’t die.’
No longer hesitating.
WENG! WENG!
With a thought, Xu Qing put on the Level 20 Evil Ghost Mask. Demonic Qi surged around him, and a black mist spread out. When the mist dissipated, the transformation was complete.
Xu Qing had transformed into a middle-aged man with a square-shaped face.
BOOM! BOOM!
The Demonic Qi roiled endlessly.
“I am ’Demon Venerable Chonglou’.”
The corners of Xu Qing’s mouth lifted slightly. A blood-red mark appeared between his eyebrows, and his voice became a bit deeper and heavier, carrying an immense sense of pressure.
“Let’s go!”
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!!!
The next moment, with a wave of his right hand, the Vajra Daoist Soldier and the Ice Daoist Soldier turned into two streaks of light and followed him. One after another, Level 20 items flew into Xu Qing’s hands, which he then tucked away.
It could be said that Xu Qing was fully armed this time.
SWISH!
A black light flashed.
Xu Qing’s speed was extremely fast, reaching a new Extreme. He shot toward the outskirts of Moon River Prefecture City and vanished in the blink of an eye.
“Hm?”
Suddenly, the Qi Refiner Shang Mu happened to look up at the night sky and spotted a demonic figure rushing toward the edge of the city. He froze for a second. ’What was that just now? Where did that Demon come from?’
The next moment, Xu Qing was already gone without a trace.
’Did my eyes deceive me?’
Shang Mu rubbed his eyes.
In the blink of an eye.
「Half an hour later.」
Following the information from the Help-seeking Jade Scroll, Xu Qing arrived at the location where the “Mysterious: Deserted Village” had appeared. It was in the middle of a vast, desolate wilderness.
Directly ahead, a strange, gray-black mist permeated the air, within which a village could be faintly seen.
