I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

Chapter 340 - 293: Level 50 Visualization Mirror, The Limit of the Devouring Demon Technique

[Wooden Man Stake Level 50: 0/51,200 Trillion] (Originally just a wooden man stake used for training by Martial Artists in a Martial Arts Hall, it has accumulated the mysteries of the Martial Path over a hundred years. It then underwent forty-nine upgrades and transformations, was bathed in Thunder Tribulations, engraved with Spirit Patterns, had its Spirituality awakened, and was imbued with Rules. It now contains the Martial Dao Law, Combat Laws, the Five Elements Law... and more. These various Laws have transformed into Law Marks and been integrated into it.)

Clearly, the Level 50 Wooden Man Stake contained the mysteries of the Martial Path. Now, having integrated Level 50 items from six other paths, its various Law Marks erupted with terrifying Mighty Power.

And so, the Law Domain spread out.

The original Twelve-layered Law Domain expanded into a Fourteen-layered Law Domain, its Mighty Power exploding outwards. Its strength had increased severalfold.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!!!

Xiao Yin manipulated the Nine Nether Demon Suppression Array, summoning wisps of Nine Nether Qi that transformed into black Nether Dragons, which then continuously lunged at Xu Qing.

Originally, the passive defense generated by the Twelve-layered Law Domain couldn’t resist the power of the Nine Nether Demon Suppression Array, and the array’s Mighty Power was steadily closing in on Xu Qing.

Now, with the addition of the Level 50 Wooden Man Stake, the Twelve-layered Law Domain had become a Fourteen-layered Law Domain. Its Mighty Power had increased several times over, allowing it to block the force of the Nine Nether Demon Suppression Array.

"What?"

Xiao Yin was utterly stunned, a look of bewilderment on his face. He stared at Xu Qing in astonishment. "A Secret Treasure from a seventh path."

"This..."

Shock.

Absolute shock.

"He actually blocked it."

*HISS...*

「In the Imperial Court.」

Everyone there was also watching the battlefield through a magical mirror and clearly saw Xu Qing block Xiao Yin’s Nine Nether Demon Suppression Array.

"How could this be?"

"Is that even possible?"

"Those are Secret Treasures from seven different paths! He can command all of them? Could this Huo Yuanjia have cultivated the legacies and Secret Techniques of seven paths?"

"Isn’t he afraid of the conflict between the different paths causing a backlash?"

"..."

The ministers discussed endlessly.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

Xu Qing used the Great Devouring Technique to refine and absorb Li Buan’s Origin and Laws. His own strength and Cultivation were rising rapidly, and one after another, Law Marks appeared around his body.

Three hundred and one, three hundred and two, three hundred and three...

Moreover, as Xu Qing’s Cultivation broke through and advanced, the passive defense of his Fourteen-layered Law Domain grew even stronger.

Naturally, it became even harder for Xiao Yin to break through.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Yin’s expression was grim.

"Nine Nether Demon Suppression Array!"

BOOM! BOOM!

And so, Xiao Yin formed seals with his hands, generating a terrifying Mighty Power. Countless Dharma Seals—a full 129,600 of them—formed and condensed together, transforming into a Nine Nether Mark.

"Condense!"

Xiao Yin roared, "Nine-headed Nether Dragon!"

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!!!

The Nine Nether Qi within the Nine Nether Demon Suppression Array continuously gathered. As quantity turned into quality, it condensed out of thin air into a terrifying Nine-headed Nether Dragon with nine draconic heads.

The Nine-headed Nether Dragon roared incessantly. Its imposing aura was so powerful that the terrifying draconic might it exuded made it hard for even Wang Miao and the others to breathe.

However, that was not the most terrifying part.

Because, following the appearance of the first Nine-headed Nether Dragon, the Nine Nether Qi that constantly surged forth from the Nine Netherworld began to condense spontaneously, forming one Nine-headed Nether Dragon after another.

Immediately, under Xiao Yin’s control, these Nine-headed Nether Dragons lunged at Xu Qing from all directions, carrying an aura of extreme destruction.

CRACK! CRACK!!!

At that moment, the power unleashed by the Nine Nether Demon Suppression Array was far too immense, even strong enough to kill a Perfect Law Realm existence. With unstoppable force, it continuously shattered the defenses of the Fourteen-layered Law Domain.

It was as if space-time itself was twisting and shattering.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

At this critical moment, another item shot out from Xu Qing’s robes. This item contained the aura of the Immortal Dao; it was from the eighth path, the ’Immortal Path,’ also known as the path of ’Qi Refining’.

As the view zoomed in, what came into sight was a mirror. This was because the beginning of the ’Immortal Path’—that is, ’Qi Refining’—lies in contemplating the self, awakening one’s own Spirituality, sensing the Energy between heaven and earth, and then performing ’Qi Refining’.

’Qi Refining’ is the refinement of one’s own essence qi, spiritual qi, and divine qi. These three qi merge into one, integrate with the Energy between heaven and earth, and then transform into ’Qi Refining Spiritual Power’.

Therefore, contemplating the self requires a mirror. One must see oneself in the mirror, then slowly contemplate the self, get to know oneself, understand oneself, and attain enlightenment about oneself...

...

[Visualization Mirror Level 50: 0/51,200 Trillion] (Originally just a visualization mirror used by Qi Refiners in an Immortal Path Sect for contemplation during Qi Refining, it has gradually accumulated the mysteries of the Immortal Path over a hundred years. It then underwent forty-nine upgrades and transformations, was bathed in Thunder Tribulations, engraved with Spirit Patterns, had its Spirituality awakened, and was imbued with Rules. It now contains the Immortal Dao Law, Combat Laws, the Law of Contemplation... and more. These various Laws have transformed into Law Marks and been integrated into it.)

...

The item from the eighth path manifested, releasing an extremely terrifying Immortal Path aura. Countless Law Marks appeared, led by the Immortal Dao Law, displaying immense Mighty Power.

BUZZ!

Back in the Imperial Court, the Grand National Master, True Immortal Daoist, involuntarily lifted his head. He gazed at the image in the mirror, noticing the sudden appearance of the Level 50 Visualization Mirror.

"To think such an Immortal Path Magical Treasure exists."

True Immortal Daoist’s tone was filled with surprise.

"..."

Emperor Yuanwu, Zhou Di, also had a flickering glint in his eyes.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

This time, with the addition of the Level 50 Visualization Mirror, the Fourteen-layered Law Domain was upgraded again, becoming a Sixteen-layered Law Domain. The Mighty Power of the Level 50 items from eight different paths stacked on top of one another.

This was no longer a simple additive increase like one plus one equals two; it was a multiplicative enhancement. The Sixteen-layered Law Domain blocked the bombardment of Xiao Yin’s Nine-headed Nether Dragons.

"Impossible! This is impossible!!!"

At this moment, Xiao Yin couldn’t help but let out a shriek. His eyes were wide with utter disbelief. "How? How can this be? How could anyone possibly master eight different paths?"

He couldn’t believe it.

He simply couldn’t believe it.

There was only one outcome for someone who cultivated the Secret Techniques of eight different paths: the techniques and legacies would clash horribly, and when the cultivator could no longer withstand the conflict, their body would simply explode, killing them.

Unfortunately, the impossible had happened anyway.

Xu Qing had indeed mastered Level 50 items from eight different paths and had combined them. Their Mighty Powers stacked, and the resulting Power and Mighty Power naturally increased exponentially.

RUMBLE!

With a tremendous crash, the Sixteen-layered Law Domain erupted. Countless Law Chains condensed, resembling True Dragons, and completely crushed all the Nine-headed Nether Dragons formed by the Nine Nether Demon Suppression Array.

CRACK! CRACK!

Not only that, but the Power of the Sixteen-layered Law Domain was far too great. It was simply unbelievable, something that should not exist in this world.

Therefore, the Law Domain spread out, breaking through the blockade of the Nine Nether Demon Suppression Array and enveloping the array completely.

In this way, it was no longer Xu Qing who was trapped in the Nine Nether Demon Suppression Array. Instead, Xiao Yin was now trapped within Xu Qing’s Sixteen-layered Law Domain. At this moment, the roles of hunter and prey seemed to have reversed.

"How? How?!"

Fear.

Terror.

Dread.

Panic.

Xiao Yin, the Civil Minister of the Great Zhou Martial Country and a Great Scholar who had reached the Perfect Law Realm, felt a deep, bone-chilling fear at this moment.

Terrifying.

It was far too terrifying.

*Haaa...*

Just then, Xu Qing opened his eyes. The intensity of his aura had broken through. Three hundred and sixty-five Law Marks floated around him, signifying that he had stepped into Soul Law Realm Perfection.

Next, if Xu Qing wanted to continue breaking through, he would have to keep comprehending Laws and condensing Law Marks. As long as the number of Law Marks reached one thousand, he could step into the ’Perfect Law Realm’.

This was because, by doing so, a quantitative change would lead to a qualitative one.

Once one thousand Law Marks fused into one, a ’Rule Trace’ could be nurtured and transformed from within them.

In other words, above ’Law’ was ’Rule’.

This was also the Power of the ’Fifth Realm’.

"What a pity."

Xu Qing sighed. All around him, the vast imprints of Origin and Law began to dissipate, transforming into countless rays of prismatic light that bloomed with dazzling radiance.

’I can’t keep advancing anymore.’

Xu Qing shook his head. "Soul Law Realm Perfection is my absolute limit. If I continue to advance, I will surely suffer a terrifying backlash from the Laws. Or rather, this is the backlash from the Devouring Demon Technique."

"What a pity..."

Xu Qing said.

Indeed, if Xu Qing had completely devoured and refined all of Li Buan’s Origin and Laws, he could have definitely stepped into the Perfect Law Realm. It might even have been possible to reach Great Success in Perfect Law Realm.

However, the Devouring Demon Technique was not omnipotent. Devouring too much Origin and too many Laws would result in a backlash from those very Laws. This was because the Law Marks condensed through Devouring were not personally comprehended by Xu Qing, making it impossible for him to perfectly grasp their mysteries.

If this happened too often, he would gradually lose perfect control over the Mighty Power of these Laws, and the slightest misstep would trigger a backlash.

In other words, Xu Qing had advanced far too quickly. He had to slow down and stabilize his Cultivation before he could continue to improve.

"Die!"

BOOM!

Xu Qing’s gaze was cold. He was in a foul mood because he could no longer use the Great Devouring Technique to advance and had wasted Li Buan’s Origin and Laws.

Thus, Xu Qing attacked without hesitation. He condensed the Power of his Sixteen-layered Law Domain and combined it with his Level 50 Iron Sword, Level 50 Wandering Dragon Sword, and Level 50 Copper Coin Sword. This fusion created an Extreme Sword Light that tore through space-time, slashing directly toward Xiao Yin.
