I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 96 - 95: Horror and Dread
Chapter 96: Chapter 95: Horror and Dread
Xu Qing’s expression grew slightly solemn. He had been ensnared in Jiang Feiying’s Thousand Illusion Realm. His surroundings transformed—the bright moon, the nearby buildings, and the ruins on the ground all vanished.
Not only that, but the figures of Jiang Feiying and Elder Qingyun had also disappeared.
Therefore, Xu Qing couldn’t see the move Elder Qingyun was preparing. A total of 365 Talismans tore through the air, connected by streaks of flowing light.
In the blink of an eye, they formed a massive Talismanic Net. Under Elder Qingyun’s control, it rapidly descended upon Xu Qing.
SWISH! SWISH!
At almost the same time, the Thousand Illusion Realm obscured Xu Qing’s perception, leaving him unaware that Elder Qingyun’s net was already upon him.
However, Xu Qing’s Daoist Soldiers, Cold Ice and Blazing Flame, reacted instantly.
“Ice Palm!”
BOOM!
Daoist Soldier Cold Ice was the first to charge, blocking Elder Qingyun’s path. She completely unleashed the Mighty Power of her Cold Ice Dao Pattern, gathering the dense Heaven and Earth Energy from her surroundings.
CRACK! CRACK!
In an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted. It even looked as if it were snowing in a small area. This wasn’t real snow; rather, the sudden drop in temperature caused the moisture in the air to condense, forming snowflakes that drifted down.
RUMBLE!!!
Cold Ice went all out. Her palms froze over, glowing with an icy-blue light as countless ice-crystal-like streams flickered around them. Her Ice Palm attack shot forward.
BAM!
The extremely powerful Ice Palm struck Elder Qingyun’s net. They collided, creating a violent explosion as energy roared.
CRACK! CRACK!
Elder Qingyun’s net was indeed extraordinary, its Mighty Power immense. Not only did Cold Ice’s attack fail to destroy it, but her own Ice Palm was shattered instead.
BOOM!
Cold Ice was sent flying by the shockwave of the explosion.
“Fiery Flame Saber Technique!”
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Daoist Soldier Blazing Flame charged forward. An incredibly dense blaze erupted from his hands, coalescing into a crimson Flaming Saber.
“Slash!”
Blazing Flame roared, brandishing the Flaming Saber. It danced wildly, unleashing countless blades of light that rained down on Elder Qingyun’s net like a torrential storm.
BANG! BANG! BANG!!!
A continuous series of explosions rang out.
CRACK! CRACK!
The blades of fiery light shattered, while Elder Qingyun’s Talismanic Net shuddered violently. Cracks spiderwebbed across it before it finally exploded.
BOOM!
Elder Qingyun’s net was destroyed.
PFFT!
Elder Qingyun suffered from the backlash. He staggered back several steps, then raised his head, his gaze falling upon the two Tier One Daoist Soldiers, his face filled with horror. “How is this possible? The Dharma Guardian Generals are this powerful? Even my Nine Nether Net was destroyed.”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Cold Ice and Blazing Flame roared and charged at Boss Qingyun from the left and right. Elder Qingyun quickly retreated, pulling a black bell from his robes.
“Soul-Devouring Bell!”
DING-A-LING…
Elder Qingyun shook the Soul-Devouring Bell, sending out ripples of power. However, this Dharma Artifact was only effective against beings with souls. As Daoist Soldiers, Cold Ice and Blazing Flame had none, so the bell only hindered them for a moment before losing its effect.
“Ten Thousand Bone Law Saber!”
CRACK!
Elder Qingyun’s pupils contracted. Realizing his mistake, he took out another Dharma Artifact. This weapon was a ghastly white, having been refined from the bones of at least ten thousand people, and it emanated a sinister, evil aura.
“Slash!”
With a wave of his right hand, Elder Qingyun sent the Law Saber flying through the air. Under his control, it erupted with astonishing power, blocking the attacks of the two Tier One Daoist Soldiers.
「Meanwhile.」
The third Tier One Daoist Soldier, Vajra, had already activated its Vajra Dominating Body. It unleashed the full Mighty Power of its Dao Pattern as it fiercely battled Blood Demon Hand Zhu Ganglie.
Clearly, although Zhu Ganglie was powerful, the strength of Daoist Soldier Vajra was not to be underestimated; it was more than enough to hold him off for a short time.
’What a fine Dharma Guardian General.’
Zhu Ganglie muttered, his gaze shifting from Xu Qing’s position to Elder Qingyun’s. ’That useless Bai Fa didn’t investigate the enemy properly. How is this a Martial Artist at the Innate Gang Qi level? He’s clearly already stepped into the Immortal Realm.’
’And another thing…’
’Not only has the target cultivated the Martial Path, but he also wields Dharma Artifacts and is protected by three Dharma Guardian Generals. A target like this should be handled by a master who has entered the Second Realm. And yet they called me back for this.’
Zhu Ganglie took another deep breath. ’If the target hadn’t provoked two powerful enemies at the same time, I’m afraid my chances of survival would be slim.’
At this moment, inside the Thousand Illusion Realm.
Xu Qing’s eyes flickered. He took a deep breath and murmured thoughtfully, ’So it’s this kind of Illusion Realm again.’
Xu Qing frowned slightly and took a deep breath. He could clearly see masks appearing one after another in all directions: pained, sorrowful, joyous, weeping, ferocious…
Each mask had a different expression. They floated and circled around him. In total, there were 1,007 masks with unique expressions, all of them watching Xu Qing.
Moreover, Xu Qing felt a peculiar and strange energy wave emanating from the masks, one that sought to influence his mind and drag him deeper into the Illusion Realm.
“Xu Qing.”
HUM!
Jiang Feiying’s true self was also within the Thousand Illusion Realm. Her voice seemed to come from all directions, entering Xu Qing’s ears. “Hand over the mask at once! You have nowhere to run.”
’Nowhere to run?’
Xu Qing’s expression was calm. He was no longer at his former Outer Gang Level; he had already stepped into the Immortal Realm. If he were trapped in a ’Hundred Illusion Realm’, he could shatter it with a single punch.
Now, even though this was the ’Thousand Illusion Realm’ created by Jiang Feiying’s true self, it couldn’t truly trap him. Xu Qing’s strength was far beyond what it used to be.
“Die!”
Jiang Feiying snorted coldly. She knew Xu Qing wouldn’t hand over the mask she wanted so easily. In that case, she had no choice but to go all out, kill him, and take the mask from his corpse.
As for whatever identity Xu Qing might have, Jiang Feiying no longer cared.
No one could stand in the way of her progress.
“Thousand-Phase Evil Light!”
Jiang Feiying cried out, her hands forming seals as she unleashed the Mighty Power of the Thousand Illusion Realm. All 1,007 masks locked onto Xu Qing. Beams of bloody, black light, like laser rays, shot toward him from all directions in an indiscriminate, all-out assault.
“Great Peng Body Protection!”
BOOM!
Xu Qing shouted, taking a step forward. Bursts of Gang Qi surged around him. The cyan-gold Gang Qi condensed inside his body, forming the illusory image of an Exotic Beast Dapeng.
The Exotic Beast Dapeng let out a sharp, piercing cry.
The next moment, the Exotic Beast Dapeng shielded Xu Qing’s entire body.
DANG! DANG! DANG!!!
The beams of bloody black light descended, all striking Xu Qing, but they were all blocked by the protective phantom of the Exotic Beast Dapeng.
CRACK! CRACK!
However, Xu Qing’s Dapeng Root Method was only at Level 8, and his Martial Cultivation was only at the Initial Entry stage of the Immortal Realm. Thus, when faced with Jiang Feiying’s Thousand-Phase Evil Light…
BAM!
The phantom of the Exotic Beast Dapeng was the first to collapse, shattered by the countless beams of the Thousand-Phase Evil Light, and it exploded into a sky full of light specks.
“Hahaha…”
Jiang Feiying laughed maniacally. “I told you! You’ve only just entered the Immortal Realm! So what if you have three Dharma Guardian Generals? So what if you wield a Dharma Artifact? A lack of strength is a lack of strength.”
“Today, you will surely die!”
“Die!”
WHOOSH!
Jiang Feiying attacked again. All the beams of the Thousand-Phase Evil Light condensed, forming a massive laser-like beam that erupted with terrifying Mighty Power, about to annihilate Xu Qing in a single blow.
“Go!”
CLANG!
Xu Qing’s expression was calm. He summoned his Level 10 Copper Coin Sword. Gang Qi and Heaven and Earth Energy poured into it, and in his hands, the Level 10 Copper Coin Sword slowly began to unleash its full Mighty Power.
It was important to note that previously, Xu Qing’s Cultivation had been insufficient; he hadn’t reached the Immortal Realm and thus couldn’t fully unleash the Mighty Power of the Level 10 Copper Coin Sword.
But now that Xu Qing had stepped into the Immortal Realm, he could finally unleash its full Mighty Power.
SWISH!
The Level 10 Copper Coin Sword transformed into a Sword Light like a Thunderbolt, incredibly brilliant and dazzling as it shot straight through the air.
DONG!
CRACK! CRACK!
The Level 10 Copper Coin Sword had been consecrated nine times and had even drawn down Celestial Thunder at the final moment. Its Mighty Power was peerless. Under Xu Qing’s control, it shattered Jiang Feiying’s technique with unstoppable force.
BANG!
With a bang, the beam of evil light burst apart, turning into a sky full of specks of light.
“Slash!”
Xu Qing let out a soft cry. In his hand, the Level 10 Copper Coin Sword was like a blade of judgment, a blade of invincibility, a blade for Breaking Evil and slaying Demons.
CRACK! CRACK!
With the Level 10 Copper Coin Sword, Xu Qing shattered Jiang Feiying’s masks.
“AHHH!!!”
Jiang Feiying let out a blood-curdling scream.
“NO!!!”
At this moment, Jiang Feiying truly felt the terrifying Mighty Power of the Dharma Artifact in Xu Qing’s hand. This was no ordinary Dharma Artifact; it was like a forbidden weapon.
Originally, within the Thousand Illusion Realm, even if an enemy destroyed the masks, they would quickly recover because they were merely phantoms and clones.
However, the Copper Coin Sword in Xu Qing’s hand was different. While the Level 10 Copper Coin Sword destroyed the phantoms and clones of Jiang Feiying’s masks, it also severely damaged the masks themselves.
That was why Jiang Feiying was injured.
“You… you…”
Jiang Feiying was utterly horrified.
