Rise of the Invincible Upgrade System

Chapter 279: Soul Explosion

"Yes, yes, yes! Just think of a way to retrieve the Spirit Treasure~!" Ao Mengmeng suddenly jumped up: "There are two ways to make a Spirit Treasure acknowledge a master."

"One is to use a Cultivation Technique, similar to a key, to gain control of the Spirit Treasure."

"The other is to forcibly acknowledge a master, using your power and Soul to directly contend with the Spirit Treasure and make it submit!"

The problem arose.

The Cultivation Technique key was outside now and couldn’t be obtained.

He could only rely on forcibly acknowledging a master.

And Qin Mu’s Soul was very weak. Let alone contending with the Spirit Treasure, even just standing there and taking a beating, he probably wouldn’t last long.

"True Dragon Soul Suppression, I’ll give it to you now."

In a flash, Ao Mengmeng displayed the Dragon Clan’s innate secret technique in the consciousness space.

"Qin Mu, you can do it, right?"

"You can learn True Dragon Clone very quickly, so dealing with True Dragon Soul Suppression now shouldn’t be difficult, right?"

Holy crap!

I suspect you’re causing trouble!

Qin Mu cursed inwardly.

If I had upgrade points now, would I still need to ask you for a solution?

Ao Mengmeng clenched her fists with an expectant look: "Come on, you have to be quick, that heart of eternity is too powerful, Mengmeng won’t be able to hold on for long~"

"If you can’t learn it today, Mengmeng might just die~ Waaah waaaah waaaah!!!"

Damn it!

Do you think only you will die?

Will I not die?

"Is there any other way?" Qin Mu silently calculated in his heart; it would take at least another dozen hours for upgrade points to refresh.

Too long.

Whether his Soul could last until then was truly an unknown.

"No!"

Ao Mengmeng shook her head wildly upon hearing him: "The Soul is inherently very complex."

"And the Dragon Clan’s innate secret technique should be one of the strongest Soul secret techniques in the Universe."

"Although the Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s Sword Soul Array is cleverly conceived and unique, it still requires years of arduous Cultivation to be comparable to True Dragon Soul Suppression in its Late Stage. Looking at the effects of Soul Cultivation Techniques in the early stages, the Dragon Clan’s secret technique should be the most top-tier!"

Hiss, this is troublesome now... Qin Mu secretly thought that something was amiss.

At the same time.

Ten Thousand Moons God King, who was in the Arena, also noticed something was wrong.

"Qin Mu has gone offline..."

"To retrieve the heart of eternity?"

Before Ten Thousand Moons could speak, Howling Moon’s message had already arrived.

"Reporting to God King, Qin Mu... he didn’t learn the Cultivation Technique and directly took the Spirit Treasure into his Soul..."

Ten Thousand Moons’s whole body trembled, and the divine moon in the Secret Realm instantly shone brightly: "What did you say?!"

"Don’t you know how dangerous Soul-type treasures are!?"

Alas.

Howling Moon truly felt like dying right now: "This subordinate... This subordinate knows, but... but Qin Mu didn’t wait for me to finish speaking~"

"Besides, how could this subordinate have thought that he would know to use his Soul as a Mentalist to retrieve the Spirit Treasure without even opening the Cultivation Technique..."

Damn it!

Ten Thousand Moons was truly enraged: "He’s a Mentalist, do you think he’s a Martial Artist like you?!!!"

Howling Moon: "This subordinate... This subordinate admits his guilt!"

"Stop talking nonsense, open the Divine Kingdom!"

Ten Thousand Moons punched and shattered the Secret Realm space, then flashed into the Howling Moon Divine Kingdom.

Qin Mu.

He was now completely in a state of stagnation, with no movement other than the occasional Soul fluctuations emanating from his body.

"Damn it, the Spirit Treasure has taken over the depths of his Soul, and now it can’t even be stripped away!!"

Ten Thousand Moons’s glance revealed that the situation was already extremely dangerous.

"God King, then now..." Howling Moon hated himself for showing off and taking out the Spirit Treasure so early. If he had waited and let Qin Mu finish learning the Cultivation Technique before acting, no accident would have happened.

"Now?"

Ten Thousand Moons’s brows furrowed.

"Regarding Soul matters, no one can easily intervene. Even if a Divine Venerable descends, they cannot help him."

"I’m afraid he can only rely on himself to forcibly retrieve it."

Forcibly retrieve it?

Howling Moon’s Soul suddenly trembled.

"He, he is only at Galaxy Fifth Tier, and his Soul has not undergone the anointing of deification. Is it possible... is it possible for him to succeed in forcibly retrieving it?"

The Souls of all living beings are different at birth.

Cultivation actually strengthens them very little.

However, deification is definitely a dual evolution of both Physical Body and Soul.

The Soul of a deity is far stronger than that of a Cultivator who has not been deified.

Especially the Human Race.

Their initial Soul is weaker than other races. To forcibly retrieve a Spirit Treasure like the heart of eternity, even an ordinary deity would likely have little chance of success.

Now.

To ask Qin Mu, an eighteen-year-old child, to fight to the death with a Spirit Treasure and forcibly retrieve it, isn’t that a joke?

Thump!

Howling Moon knelt on one knee on the spot and said heavily: "This subordinate has failed in his duty, please punish me, God King!"

Hmph.

"Punishment? Is it useful?"

Ten Thousand Moons was both angry and anxious at this moment.

"You are one of the supervisors of this Pinnacle Battle. Go online immediately and suspend all of Qin Mu’s matches."

"In addition..."

Ten Thousand Moons said halfway, then immediately negated: "Forget it, this King will go personally..."

...In the Metaverse, countless spectators following Qin Mu’s news received a message simultaneously.

"Match postponed?"

"What’s going on!!!"

"Wasn’t it arranged to start the battle immediately, why postpone it?"

"Could it be that he was injured in the last match against Jiang Ni?"

"Damn it, how is that possible!"

"Fighting Jiang Ni was a massacre, Qin Mu didn’t even lose a single hair, how could he be injured?"

Hiss?

"I don’t understand... what exactly is going on?"

...Among the Human Race, few did not follow the Pinnacle Battle.

Qin Mu’s Fame with One Sword, and his massacre of the demon god Bloodline, drew everyone’s attention even more.

Cultivators and ordinary people in the Qingxuan Realm were all proud of this.

Whenever Qin Mu fought, everyone would put down everything they were doing to cheer him on, even if it was just outside the city, even if it was just in the live stream.

And at this moment in the Qingxuan Realm, there were indeed people who didn’t care about these things.

At the border of the Star Realm, within the Light Prison.

A spaceship, trailing a wake hundreds of light years long, gradually sailed into the depths of the Void Realm.

"Rake, the captain’s coordinates are right ahead!!"

Lilia was incredibly excited, seeing that she was about to find the captain.

But her words did not elicit any response.

"Rake?"

Lilia turned her head, only to see Rake’s eyes vacant, his whole person like a mechanical puppet, fixed in place.

Consciousness collapsed!?

As part of a cyber group, Lilia had an innate fear of this situation.

Because she had witnessed the same situation too many times...

"Rake~~!!!"

Lilia jumped almost frantically in front of Qin Mu, her lips instantly pale and trembling as she opened the toolbox in her arm: "Rake, can you hear me~?"

"Hold on!"

"I will definitely save you... Wait~ for~ me~!!!"

Phoenix God Realm.

Seven Phoenix Secret Realm.

Extreme Phoenix Divine Venerable stood with her back to the ancient wutong tree, her expression slightly solemn.

Around her, wisps of Blazing Flame floated like mist.

Three graceful Divine Venerables, with Auras no less than Ji Huang’s, stood still on either side.

"Ji Huang, I have reviewed all the records within the Clan. Even in ancient times, there was never a possibility of an outsider in the entire Universe comprehending the Phoenix God Blazing Flame..." Extreme Flame Divine Venerable slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Extreme Separation Divine Venerable’s Phoenix eyes immediately blazed with fire, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "I knew it was impossible!"

"This must be a scheme by the Human Race. The Metaverse is theirs, so the battles within it are naturally arranged by them!"

"At that time, we should have dug out that kid’s identity and directly killed him to assert our prestige!"

"Even if that kid was truly a gift from the will of the universe, we should still kill him as a warning to others!"

Ji Huang’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"If it were ancient times, we would naturally kill him directly without asking for reasons."

"But what about now?"

"How many jie yuan has it been since a Phoenix was born in the Clan..."

"Our companions who were severely injured back then couldn’t recover and gradually left us..."

"Our Clan can no longer withstand the consumption of war!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Secret Realm fell silent.

The Bloodline of the Phoenix Clan came from the Phoenix God!

The Phoenix God conceived from the heavens and gave birth to the Phoenix.

From then on, all Phoenixes who wished to procreate conceived from the will of the universe.

It could be said that the Phoenix was a special race born in accordance with the will of the universe.

Therefore, the Phoenix God Clan only had females.

Therefore, the Phoenix God Clan’s population had never been large.

However, no race in the Universe had ever underestimated the power of the Phoenix God Clan.

But all of this changed after the War of Annihilation, when the Phoenix God fell... From then on.

The probability of the Phoenix Clan conceiving from the heavens became lower and lower, and no new Phoenixes were born.

What was even more terrifying was that after the Middle Ages, the Phoenix God Clan had no new members at all.

This was what made them most despair.

Extreme Separation Divine Venerable’s eyes were filled with defiance:

"In terms of Peak combat power, they would not fear any powerful race; even the nine great races, they would dare to fight."

"But, we... truly cannot afford the consumption anymore~"
