I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 223 - 206: Suppressing All, Devouring for Enhancement
“Y-You…”
“This…”
“…”
Fear.
Trembling.
Horror.
And utter disbelief.
On the battlefield, the fall of the Lord Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch was something no one could have predicted. It was something no one even dared to imagine. Yet, the unimaginable had truly happened.
After all,
the Lord Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch was immensely powerful and had reached a profound Realm. As the strongest member of the Blood Demon Sect Branch, he presided over all its affairs in Moon River Prefecture City.
In essence, he was a true magnate of Moon River Prefecture City, standing at the very apex of the pyramid. He loomed over countless people, holding the lives and deaths of an unknown number in his hands.
Back then,
when Xu Qing was still in Qingfeng Town, Dian Hongbo’s family was killed by the Blood Demon Sect simply because they had accidentally discovered this very Lord Apostle’s secret. Only Dian Hongbo’s sole heir survived, thanks to Xu Qing’s protection, and is still alive today.
And it was this colossal figure of Moon River Prefecture City,
who now,
lay dead at Xu Qing’s hands.
“Haaa…”
Xu Qing took a deep breath, feeling an inexplicable wave of emotion. The pressure in his heart seemed to find release. Sensing the immense power within him, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “I never thought I’d become this powerful without even realizing it.”
“Good, good, good.”
The corners of Xu Qing’s mouth lifted into a pleased and relaxed smile. “This is truly great. It seems my years of laying low and growing have been worth it.”
“L-Lord Apostle…”
A look of terror filled Liu Ying’s beautiful eyes. Her face was a mask of shock and utter disbelief. “Th-This is impossible! How is this possible?!”
Evidently,
Liu Ying could not accept the fall of the Lord Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch.
Because,
for all the years this Lord Apostle had presided over the Blood Demon Sect Branch, he had always been high and mighty, enigmatic, and seemingly omnipotent.
But now,
he was dead.
He had fallen.
Unacceptable.
It was simply unacceptable.
“Liu Ying.”
Ye Langtian walked over. Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, he brazenly wrapped his arm around Liu Ying’s slender waist. “Don’t panic. The Lord Apostle is just dead. You still have me.”
“Ye… Ye Lang…”
Liu Ying froze for a moment, then her pretty face flushed red as she leaned into Ye Langtian’s embrace.
Nearby, the Elders of the Blood Demon Sect Branch stared with wide, dumbfounded eyes. Although many rumors had circulated within the sect about Ye Langtian and Liu Ying getting together, the two had always been relatively discreet because the Lord Apostle was still above them.
But now,
with the Lord Apostle having just fallen, Ye Langtian no longer cared about the Elders’ presence, openly embracing Liu Ying.
SWISH!
With a flick of his right hand, Xu Qing summoned the Lord Apostle’s Storage Ring into his grasp. The Mighty Power of Xu Qing’s Divine Power: Annihilation had just blasted the Lord Apostle to ash, but his Storage Ring had been preserved.
BUZZ!
With a thought,
Xu Qing activated his Demon Technique. Demonic Qi surged into the Storage Ring, erasing the Lord Apostle’s mark and imprinting his own.
WHOOSH!
Soon,
Xu Qing’s vision blurred. A vast storage space appeared in his consciousness, several times larger than the space in his own Level 10 Broken Storage Ring.
Within this storage space,
Xu Qing saw a huge amount of stored resources, a large quantity of Primordial Stones, and numerous other Treasures. Its contents were incredibly rich.
’Found it.’
Xu Qing spotted a black box. This was the box that held the Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment, made of a special material that could seal its unique aura.
’There are two of them.’
Xu Qing paused, surprised. He had seen two black boxes.
SWISH! SWISH!
Without hesitation,
Xu Qing took out both black boxes and opened them in front of everyone.
’There are actually two pieces.’
Xu Qing looked surprised. Inside each of the two black boxes lay an Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment, and they were different from each other.
It was a known fact that,
due to the fierce competition among the Nine Great Forces for the Inheritance Stone Tablet of the Reincarnation Ruins, and because the Master of Reincarnation Ruins had deliberately shattered it into nine fragments before fleeing,
as a result,
each of the Nine Great Forces in Moon River Prefecture City had obtained one Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment.
Logically speaking,
the Lord Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch should have only had one Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment, yet now there were two.
’What’s this?’
Suddenly,
Xu Qing discovered something else very peculiar inside the Storage Ring: a diamond-shaped, violet-gold token. This token emanated the aura of the Dynasty’s National Fortune.
Without hesitation,
Xu Qing took out the violet-gold token.
FLASH!
A violet-gold light flashed.
The violet-gold token appeared in Xu Qing’s hand, lying quietly in his palm. On this token,
on one side,
the front was engraved with: Moon River Prefecture City.
The back was engraved with: Garrison Envoy.
Together,
they read: Moon River Prefecture City Garrison Envoy.
“!!!”
Xu Qing’s pupils contracted. An expression of utter astonishment, even disbelief, crossed his face. He couldn’t help but murmur, “This… Don’t tell me the Branch Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect was actually the Moon River Prefecture City Garrison Envoy? My god… H-How is that possible?”
Instantly,
Xu Qing thought of Dian Hongbo again.
With this new information,
it all made sense to Xu Qing.
Dian Hongbo must have accidentally discovered that the Lord Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch was, in fact, the Garrison Envoy of Moon River Prefecture City. This secret was indeed huge, which was why the Blood Demon Sect Branch took it so seriously, sending one expert after another to annihilate Dian Hongbo’s entire family.
However,
Xu Qing found it hard to believe.
Why would the esteemed Garrison Envoy of Moon River Prefecture City willingly become an Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch? What other reasons could there be?
However,
the Lord Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch was already dead at Xu Qing’s hands, completely annihilated. The answers to these questions were no longer important.
Because the man was already dead.
“S-Senior…”
The Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect had lost his smile completely. He had finally realized that this Great Demon calling himself ’Demon Venerable Chonglou’ was very likely the mysterious expert who had acted back in the Reincarnation Ruins.
Because,
the Lord Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch, a man who had mastered eighteen types of True Intent, had been killed so easily, with almost no chance to fight back.
He was certain.
The Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect knew he was no match for him.
“Domain! Suppress!”
BOOM!
With a thought, Xu Qing struck again. He raised his right hand, and the power of all his Level 20 items coalesced under his control, forming layer upon layer of an Invisible Realm that spread out rapidly.
In an instant,
it enveloped the entire Ten Thousand Inches Basin.
One must understand,
the diameter of the Ten Thousand Inches Basin was ten thousand meters.
ROAR!!!
The Level 25 Cabbage Flower Snake also let out a deafening hiss.
At that moment,
Xu Qing’s power erupted completely. Throughout the entire Ten Thousand Inches Basin, every member of the four major forces was affected by the layers of the Invisible Realm, finding themselves completely suppressed and immobilized.
One could say that the scene unfolding in the Ten Thousand Inches Basin was exactly the same as what had happened in the Reincarnation Ruins.
Except,
back in the Reincarnation Ruins, the Master of the Ruins had suppressed all the powerful experts from every force in Moon River Prefecture City, whereas Xu Qing had only suppressed the experts of four major forces.
There was still a difference between the two.
For now,
Xu Qing was indeed a notch weaker than the Master of the Ruins.
After all,
the Master of the Ruins had previously stepped into the Third Realm, while Xu Qing’s current Cultivation was only at the Second Turn Demon Infant Realm, still several layers away from the Extraordinary Extreme.
“What’s going on?”
Across the entire Ten Thousand Inches Basin,
aside from Xu Qing and the Level 25 Cabbage Flower Snake, only Ye Langtian and Liu Ying could still move freely, unsuppressed by Xu Qing’s layered Invisible Realm.
Liu Ying had a look of astonishment.
“Don’t worry.”
Ye Langtian held Liu Ying, his gaze calm as he said, “After tonight, the Deceitful Palace, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect will be erased from Moon River Prefecture City.”
“Furthermore,”
“the Blood Demon Sect Moon River Branch will become ours to control.”
“This…”
Liu Ying’s eyes widened, her beautiful gaze filled with astonishment. She looked at Ye Langtian, then up at Xu Qing, who stood tall in the sky.
Beyond that,
Liu Ying’s gaze shifted to the terrifying, gigantic python—a Ferocious Beast whose colossal body coiled in the sky like a mountain range. She slowly began to piece things together in her mind.
As the saying goes,
the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
The Blood Demon Sect Branch and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had formed an alliance on the surface, but secretly, each had ulterior motives, plotting to seize the other’s Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment. Meanwhile, the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect and the Deceitful Palace had also thrown their hats into the ring, naturally with the same goal of snatching the fragments for themselves.
Within the Ten Thousand Inches Mountain Range,
the four major forces had staged a dramatic battle.
But in the end,
the four major forces had no idea they were being targeted by the mysterious, powerful, and enigmatic ’Demon Venerable Chonglou’.
Most importantly,
the Blood Demon Sect Branch and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were completely unaware that they had long been infiltrated by ’Demon Venerable Chonglou’. Ye Langtian, Demon Venerable Chonglou, and that colossal, terrifying python… they were the ’oriole’.
“Ye Langtian, what are you waiting for?”
Xu Qing’s gaze fell upon him.
“Yes.”
A glint flashed in Ye Langtian’s eyes.
