I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely

Chapter 213: Chapter 199: Divine Power: Devouring Heaven and Earth

Late at night.

12:45 AM.

Xu Qing and Ye Langtian found an ordinary water well. The two exchanged a glance, and Ye Langtian walked toward it. Following the woman’s instructions, he began to circle the well before him.

Ye Langtian first circled to the left nine times. After completing them, he circled to the right nine times, which brought him right back to where he started.

Finally,

Ye Langtian formed a sword finger with his right hand and lightly cut a gash into his left palm. Blood began to flow out, the timing perfectly synced with the stroke of midnight.

DRIP! DRIP! DRIP!

Ye Langtian’s blood fell from his palm into the ordinary well. The droplets of blood created concentric ripples across the water’s surface.

“Hm?”

At almost the exact same moment,

Xu Qing and Ye Langtian both felt a strange fluctuation emanating from the ordinary well, slowly spreading outward.

“This…”

A look of delight appeared on Xu Qing’s face.

“Master.”

Ye Langtian said quickly, “The well is changing.”

Without hesitation,

Xu Qing and Ye Langtian hurried over. They both leaned over the edge of the well, peering down into its depths.

HUM! HUM!

The strange fluctuations grew clearer.

Inside the well,

Xu Qing and Ye Langtian saw a scene that made their scalps tingle. Reflected in the well water was the bright moon from the sky. This moon was perfectly whole and flawless, like a white disk.

However,

As Xu Qing and Ye Langtian stared intently at this moon, they discovered that the ’moon’ was also the mouth of a well. And leaning over the edge of that well were two people, staring intently into its depths. And inside that well, there was yet another well, with two more people leaning over it, also staring with horror into its depths…

And to top it all off,

the two people leaning over the edge of every well, from beginning to end, were always Xu Qing and Ye Langtian.

“This…”

Xu Qing and Ye Langtian truly felt their scalps prickle. It was a sensation of being watched, making them wonder if they themselves were also inside a well, being spied upon from above.

At this thought,

the two of them couldn’t help but raise their heads and look at the bright moon in the sky…

“!!!”

Instantly,

Xu Qing’s and Ye Langtian’s pupils contracted. They saw the bright moon in the sky, perfectly round and flawless, without the slightest imperfection, just like a white disk.

However,

as Xu Qing and Ye Langtian observed it carefully, they discovered what appeared to be two heads on the surface of the moon in the sky!

Moreover,

the faces of these two heads bore an extreme resemblance to Xu Qing and Ye Langtian.

At the same time,

inside the well,

the scene within the reflected moon—the two figures leaning over the well and peering in—also lifted their heads in sync with Xu Qing and Ye Langtian, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

“Devouring Demon Technique.”

BOOM!

Xu Qing let out a soft shout. Without the slightest hesitation, he released his cultivation of the “First Transformation Demon Infant Realm.” Powerful Demonic Qi surged forth, and his eyes turned pure black.

“Divine Power! Annihilation!”

BANG!

Xu Qing roared and unhesitatingly unleashed the “Divine Power: Annihilation” he had mastered upon entering the “First Transformation Demon Infant Realm.” All the power around his body condensed, forming his strongest attack.

RUMBLE!!!

Xu Qing had already raised his right hand. A black vortex appeared in his palm, and the Mighty Power of his “Divine Power: Annihilation” erupted. A bolt of pitch-black lightning, like a strike of divine retribution, shot out from within the black vortex in his palm.

CRACK! CRACK!

The Mighty Power of Xu Qing’s attack was immense, containing an invincible Power. The pitch-black lightning seemed to tear through space itself, carrying with it an ultimate aura of Annihilation.

Finally,

the bolt of pitch-black lightning Xu Qing had unleashed slammed into the ordinary well before him with the force of utter destruction.

And so,

the bright moon in the well was shattered. Like a round jade plate, it could not withstand the force of Xu Qing’s attack. It was utterly destroyed by the Mighty Power of “Divine Power: Annihilation.”

“Master, the moon in the sky…”

Ye Langtian exclaimed.

Sure enough,

Xu Qing looked up as well and saw that the bright moon in the sky was also shattering. Cracks spread across its entire surface.

BANG!

With a loud crash,

the bright moon in the sky completely shattered. It exploded, and fragment after fragment rained down from the sky. The cracks then spread rapidly across the entire night sky.

“Devouring Technique.”

HUM!

Xu Qing let out a soft shout. He raised his right hand and activated the “Devouring Technique.” A black vortex, like a black hole, appeared in his palm.

BOOM! BOOM!

A powerful suction force spread out, enveloping the fragments of the shattered moon. The fragments were drawn in and swiftly absorbed by Xu Qing using his “Devouring Technique.”

HUM! HUM! HUM!!!

As Xu Qing absorbed the moon fragments, an indescribable Divine Power spread throughout his body, and corresponding information appeared in his mind.

’So that’s how it is.’

A look of realization dawned on Xu Qing’s face. After absorbing the moon fragments, he had finally figured out what this trial from “Mysterious: Deserted Village” was all about.

First,

Xu Qing had entered the “First Transformation Demon Infant Realm” and mastered “Divine Power: Annihilation.” “Mysterious: Deserted Village” had sensed this. However, because the true legacy of the “Devouring Demon Technique” resided in Ye Langtian, “Mysterious: Deserted Village” came for Ye Langtian instead.

However,

Ye Langtian was only at the Nine Revolutions Demon Pill Realm and had not yet entered the “First Transformation Demon Infant Realm,” so he had not mastered a Divine Technique. “Mysterious: Deserted Village” thus deemed his aptitude insufficient, believing he couldn’t awaken and master a Divine Technique upon reaching the “First Transformation Demon Infant Realm.” This was why it designed a second trial.

The content of the trial was actually quite simple.

The essence of the “Ancient Well” was a Divine Technique, one named “Devouring Heaven and Earth.” It could be considered an advanced version of the “Devouring Technique,” with even more terrifying Mighty Power.

According to the normal procedure,

Ye Langtian would have needed to first find a way to locate the “Ancient Well,” then uncover the truth of the matter. Afterward, he would have had to find a way to gain the trust of the nine experts in Ye Family Town and join forces with them to shatter the “Ancient Well.”

In fact,

“Ye Family Town” had already been completely swallowed by the “Ancient Well.” The entire “Ye Family Town” was trapped deep within it. What Ye Langtian needed to do was break the “Ancient Well” and help “Ye Family Town” escape from it.

Therefore,

the bright moon that Xu Qing and Ye Langtian saw in the sky was actually the true mouth of the “Ancient Well.” Once the “Ancient Well” was broken, the moon that was its mouth would shatter, falling from the sky as countless fragments.

At that point,

one would need to use the “Devouring Technique” to absorb and refine the Ancient Well Fragments. By doing so, they could master “Divine Power: Devouring Heaven and Earth.” The essence of the “Ancient Well” was simply an external manifestation and evolution of “Divine Power: Devouring Heaven and Earth.”

“Ye Langtian.”

Xu Qing snapped back to his senses and shouted, “Quick, use the ’Devouring Technique’ and absorb these fragments! Only by refining and absorbing these fragments to master ’Divine Power: Devouring Heaven and Earth’ will you have passed the second trial. Only then can we leave ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’!”

“Yes, as you command.”

Ye Langtian had been itching to act. He had only remained still because he saw Xu Qing absorbing the “Ancient Well Fragments” with the Devouring Technique.

Now, upon hearing Xu Qing’s command, Ye Langtian quickly raised his right hand and unleashed the “Devouring Technique.” A black vortex, like a miniature black hole, formed in his palm and rapidly devoured the “Ancient Well Fragments” one by one.

There were one hundred and eight “Ancient Well Fragments” in total. Xu Qing absorbed fifty-four, and Ye Langtian also absorbed fifty-four. Both of them absorbed and refined half.

RUMBLE!!!

After Xu Qing and Ye Langtian finished absorbing and refining all the fragments, the surrounding night sky completely shattered. Ye Family Town broke free from the “Ancient Well.” The canopy of night crumbled, revealing daylight.

In its place,

“Ye Family Town” returned to its lonely, daytime appearance.

“Haaa…”

Xu Qing and Ye Langtian opened their eyes, looks of joy on both their faces. After each absorbing fifty-four “Ancient Well Fragments,” their “Devouring Technique” had evolved into “Divine Power: Devouring Heaven and Earth (Incomplete).”

Because they had each absorbed only half of the “Ancient Well Fragments,” they failed to evolve and master the complete Divine Power. Their “Devouring Heaven and Earth” was an incomplete version.

Regardless,

Ye Langtian had passed the “second trial.”

In truth,

the trial had been completed and passed so easily mainly because Xu Qing had mastered “Divine Power: Annihilation.” By pitting a Divine Power against a Divine Power, he was able to effortlessly destroy the “Ancient Well.”

If,

Xu Qing had not been present this time,

it would have been impossible for Ye Langtian to pass the trial so quickly on his own. He would have had to expend a great deal of thought and time to succeed.

Of course,

if Ye Langtian had passed it alone, he could have absorbed all one hundred and eight Ancient Well Fragments and mastered the complete “Divine Power: Devouring Heaven and Earth.”

Then again,

if it weren’t for Xu Qing, Ye Langtian wouldn’t have been pulled into “Mysterious: Deserted Village” so soon, and none of this would have happened.

HUM! HUM!

Space fluctuated.

Xu Qing and Ye Langtian saw the old Town Mayor again.

“Congratulations, young men, on passing this trial.”

The old Town Mayor’s gaze swept over Xu Qing and Ye Langtian, lingering on Xu Qing for several seconds. If not for the inherent Rules of “Mysterious: Deserted Village,” this old Town Mayor would absolutely not have let Xu Qing leave so easily. He would have definitely kept Xu Qing behind to study him thoroughly.

Because,

in the old Town Mayor’s perception, Xu Qing’s actions and the various peculiarities he displayed had all exceeded the scope of his understanding.
