I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 193 - 184: Ye Family Mad Blood
Chapter 193: Chapter 184: Ye Family Mad Blood
“Ye Langtian, what’s the situation on your end?”
Xu Qing scanned his surroundings. As night fell, the Deserted Village had changed dramatically. A large number of villagers had suddenly appeared.
Moreover,
Xu Qing noticed their faces were stiff, each one wearing a fake, plastered-on smile. They didn’t look like real living people at all.
In fact,
inside the ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’, there couldn’t be any living people anyway.
“Master.”
Ye Langtian walked over. His face was pale, his aura had weakened considerably, and he was covered in injuries. “This subordinate can’t hold on much longer.”
Then,
Ye Langtian carefully explained the situation to Xu Qing.
“When night falls on Ye Family Village, all sorts of beasts, Demonic Beasts, and Ferocious Beasts in a frenzied state will appear in the mountains outside the village.”
Ye Langtian said with a grave tone, “And we have to defend against the attacks of these frenzied beasts, Demonic Beasts, and Ferocious Beasts to help Ye Family Village survive the beast tide.”
“If…”
“If we fail, if Ye Family Village is overrun by the beast tide, or if we are killed by it, everything around us will reset.”
“Oh.”
Xu Qing’s expression was thoughtful. “So what you’re saying is, even if you’re killed, you don’t truly die? Everything just starts over from the beginning?”
“Yes.”
Ye Langtian nodded. “Even though you don’t die after being killed or failing, you lose a year of your Lifespan each time you revive.”
“This…”
Xu Qing glanced at Ye Langtian’s hair and noticed a few new strands of white at his temples. Clearly, he had died and failed too many times during this period, causing his Lifespan to drain away.
If this situation continued,
Ye Langtian would inevitably die for good after his Lifespan was completely exhausted from repeated failures.
“I understand.”
Xu Qing nodded.
“Most importantly,”
Ye Langtian continued, “That old man from the village also told me this is a trial specifically for me. As long as I pass it, I’ll receive a corresponding reward.”
“A trial.”
Xu Qing fell into thought.
Actually, by now, Xu Qing had basically guessed why Ye Langtian was suddenly pulled into the ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’. It was precisely because Xu Qing’s Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method had reached the ’Sixth-Turn Demon Pill Realm’.
’The ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’ must have sensed that I had reached the ’Sixth-Turn Demon Pill Realm’ with my Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method, and that’s why it targeted Ye Langtian, pulling him into this ’trial’.’
’As for why it didn’t target me, but Ye Langtian instead… it’s probably because the Inheritance Jade Scroll for the ’Devouring Demon Technique’ is inside Ye Langtian’s body.’
’Whether or not that’s truly the case…’
’I’ll find out once the beast tide begins.’
RUMBLE…
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!!!
As he was thinking, Xu Qing felt the ground begin to shake. Listening closely for a moment, he could feel what sounded like a thundering army of thousands charging toward them.
Moreover, various different beast roars filled the air.
Deafening.
“Huu…”
Xu Qing took a deep breath and looked outside the village.
“Master,”
Ye Langtian said, “the beast tide is coming.”
“Mm.”
Xu Qing nodded.
“The beast tide is here! The beast tide is here…”
“…”
Around them,
the villagers of Ye Family Village were in a panic.
“Don’t panic!”
“All young men in the village, gather! To the fence! We must stop the beast tide!”
“The old, the weak, women, and children, stay in the village!”
“…”
Just then,
Xu Qing saw the village elder appear, along with the captain of the village’s Hunting Team. The captain was a square-jawed, middle-aged man with a burly and powerful build.
Before long,
thirty-eight young people from Ye Family Village had assembled. Most were members of the Hunting Team and possessed a certain degree of combat prowess.
Of course,
these people from Ye Family Village were villagers, after all. Even if they had some combat ability, it was limited. Resisting this terrifying beast tide would ultimately depend on the strength of Xu Qing and Ye Langtian.
“Master, they’re here.”
In front of the Ye Family Village fence.
One could see that,
the entire fence of Ye Family Village was made from tough ironwood and did possess some defensive capability. But it was just a fence, after all, and naturally couldn’t compare to a city wall.
Before the beast tide, such a fence was no better than paper.
“Mm.”
Xu Qing took a deep breath. He stood before the village fence, his gaze fixed ahead, and saw beast after beast, Demonic Beast after Demonic Beast, and Ferocious Beast after Ferocious Beast, all with crimson eyes.
First,
charging at the very front were ordinary beasts like forest wolves, mountain bears, and jungle pythons. However, every single beast’s eyes were crimson as they entered a special frenzied state.
Behind the beasts were the Demonic Beasts. These Demonic Beasts had begun to undergo extraordinary transformations, such as wind wolves that could spit Wind Blades, rock bears that could condense stone, and frenzied pythons that had grown a single horn.
And further back,
Xu Qing saw immensely large Ferocious Beasts. Each one was at least a hundred meters long—true Giant Beasts exuding a terrifying aura.
Furthermore,
at the very rear of the beast tide was a thick, gray-black mist. Faintly visible within it was a Ferocious Beast as massive as a mountain.
“Prepare for battle,”
Xu Qing said.
“Yes.”
Ye Langtian responded.
ROAR!!!
The beasts roared.
In no time,
the beast tide crashed upon the village.
“Kill!”
BOOM!
Xu Qing’s gaze was indifferent. He took a step forward, and the six Level 20 items around him shot out, hovering above the battlefield.
DONG! DONG! DONG!!!
One could see:
the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, the Level 20 Wooden Buddha Bell, the Level 20 Serenity Dao Bell, the Level 20 Academy Ruler, the Level 20 Deceitful Copper Gong, and the Level 20 Beheading Demon Blade.
Six items.
At this moment,
they unleashed layer after layer of Domains. Each item erupted with terrifying Mighty Power as their Spirituality and wisdom fully awakened. Ten Layers of Realm stacked upon one another,
suppressing the entire battlefield.
The entire beast tide was affected, its combat power continuously suppressed. The overall strength of the beast tide was weakened by at least half.
“Martial Arts Divine Fist!”
BOOM!
Ye Langtian roared. His Martial Cultivation, thanks to consuming a Level 20 Celestial Bridge Pill, had long since entered the First Level True Realm. He had grasped One Level of Martial Arts True Intent, and his combat power was immense.
However,
Ye Langtian’s Devouring Demon Technique was still at Triple Realm Perfection. He was only one step away from entering the Fourth Realm, but he wasn’t quite there yet.
RUMBLE!!!
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!!!
The punch Ye Langtian threw was exceedingly powerful, its Mighty Power utterly terrifying. The brilliant Fist Seal smashed forward, obliterating Frenzied Beast after Frenzied Beast and Frenzied Demonic Beast after Frenzied Demonic Beast.
It could be said that
Ye Langtian’s strength was indeed formidable, and his combat experience had grown richer and richer.
’Mm.’
Xu Qing’s expression was thoughtful as he observed Ye Langtian’s fight, pondering to himself, ’Based on Ye Langtian’s strength, these ordinary Frenzied Beasts and Frenzied Demonic Beasts should be no match for him. He can deal with them easily. The reason he keeps failing must be those Fierce and Frenzied Beasts.’
’And that mountain-sized Ferocious Beast in the gray-black mist.’
“Devouring Technique.”
WENG!
Xu Qing stepped out. His speed was incredible; his figure was like a streak of light as he entered the battlefield. With a thought, he rapidly activated his Devouring Demon Technique.
At the same time,
Xu Qing unleashed the ’Devouring Technique’.
WENG! WENG! WENG!!!
Instantly,
Xu Qing raised his right hand. In his palm, endless Demonic Qi gathered. The Sixth Level of Devouring Demon Intent condensed, forming a black vortex that hovered in mid-air.
“The Devouring Technique!!!”
In the village,
the village elder’s eyes went wide, as if he had just witnessed the most bizarre thing in the world. He stared blankly at the scene.
“How is this possible?”
the village elder murmured. “Ye Langtian has the bloodline of the Ancient Ye Family’s ancestor in him, and it’s even showing signs of awakening. That’s why the ’Devouring Demon Technique’ acknowledged him as its master.”
“In this world,”
“only those who possess the ’Mad Blood’ of the Ancient Ye Family’s ancestor can practice the ’Devouring Demon Technique’. Moreover, even among the Ye Family descendants who have the ’Mad Blood’, once one person successfully cultivates it, no one else can ever succeed in cultivating the ’Devouring Demon Technique’ again.”
“It possesses a ’uniqueness’.”
“But…”
“Why? Why? Why does this person not have the ’Mad Blood’? He’s not a descendant of the Ye Family! And Ye Langtian has already successfully cultivated the Devouring Demon Technique, so why was he able to succeed as well?”
“Even more unbelievably,”
“Ye Langtian’s Devouring Demon Technique is only at the Third-Turn Demon Pill Realm, yet this man’s has already reached the Sixth-Turn Demon Pill Realm! He has already grasped the Sixth Level of Devouring Demon Intent!”
It must be known that
the ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’ had actually existed since the ’Ancient Times’. It was created by the ancestor of the Ancient Ye Family, ’Ye Cailing’, for the sole purpose of passing down the Ye Family’s ’Devouring Demon Technique’.
Therefore,
Xu Qing’s deduction was correct. It was because he had cultivated the Devouring Demon Technique to the Sixth-Turn Demon Pill Realm that the ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’ sensed it and pulled Ye Langtian in.
As a result,
the trial of the ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’ began, only to find that Ye Langtian had not reached the Sixth-Turn Demon Pill Realm. Even though Ye Langtian was a Martial Artist at the First Level True Realm, because his Devouring Demon Technique had not reached the Sixth-Turn Demon Pill Realm, the ’trial’ could never be completed. This caused Ye Langtian to die again and again, fail again and again, and consequently lose a great deal of his Lifespan.
The ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’ also sensed that something was amiss, but the trial’s program had been set by the Ancient Ye Family’s ancestor, ’Ye Cailing’, and could not be changed.
However,
if this trial continued indefinitely, Ye Langtian would never be able to pass. He could only fail the trial repeatedly until he exhausted all his Lifespan and died.
Under these circumstances,
Ye Langtian sent out a distress signal, launching the Help-seeking Jade Scroll with a special technique. And the ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’ did not stop him from calling for help.
And so,
Ye Langtian’s Help-seeking Jade Scroll fell into Xu Qing’s hands.
Xu Qing had come to the rescue.
