Rise of the Invincible Upgrade System

Chapter 283: Dragon Soul Detonation, Ao Mengmeng Sacrifices Herself?

Under the explosive burning of his Soul, he couldn’t think at all, let alone keep track of time.

"Only a little over a minute?"

"Damn it!"

"Are you messing with me?!"

He was going crazy!

Qin Mu felt like he had endured at least a dozen hours, well, maybe more, several days? Hmm, several days was also possible.

But, the time displayed by the System.

It had only been a little over a minute... This wasn’t despair, this was madness~!!!

"What a joke, how long do you want me to endure this?!"

Qin Mu cursed in his mind.

If that long period of time just now was only a minute, then the horror was probably just beginning.

When time no longer obeys rules, you cannot use one experience as a pattern for use and prediction.

This is very normal.

Just now it felt like several days, but in reality, it was only a minute.

Why wouldn’t it happen later that it feels like several years, but the actual time is only one second?

The pattern does not exist.

This is the most terrifying thing... "System, when will the upgrade points refresh?"

[Ding! There are still 18 hours, 37 minutes, and 28 seconds until the next upgrade point refresh...]

"No chance?"

Qin Mu fell into contemplation.

It was just collecting a Spirit Treasure, why would such a desperate situation arise?

He didn’t understand.

"There’s no chance..." Ao Mengmeng sighed softly when she saw Qin Mu was on the verge of losing consciousness.

"Ha, the Universe is just so unpredictable..."

Ao Mengmeng shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"The Universe has never had an absolutely safe place."

"All seemingly beautiful and peaceful moments are merely an accidental occurrence on the scale of the Universe’s long river."

"It’s a pity that people often mistake the fleeting for the eternal, accidental luck for inevitability, and even summarize that minuscule luck into a pattern."

Yes.

Qin Mu was indeed too complacent.

Collecting a treasure, even with his Divine Rank combat power, actually posed an unsolvable Life-threatening danger.

Unimaginable.

This had never happened in all the equipment, treasures, and even Green Peak’s experiences he had received before.

Therefore.

Qin Mu took these as patterns.

Subconsciously believing that collecting treasures was safe and nothing extraordinary.

So he didn’t care about anything Howling Moon said and directly collected it.

Previous experiences were all just coincidences.

Too coincidental.

The fact that collecting treasures was safe, in itself, was a coincidence.

In the Universe, on a time scale of millions of world origin.

Collecting treasures should be a very dangerous situation for Divine Rank powerhouses; that is the correct logic.

Because Divinities are eternal; when not facing enemies or fighting, only collecting treasures would pose a danger.

Can you say that this is not the main source of danger for Divinities?

Of course not.

The Universe is just like that.

What you perceive as patterns are often just countless coincidences accumulated over a short period of time.

Cultivators need to approach the Universe with the utmost reverence.

Otherwise, falling will only be a matter of time.

No matter if you have become a Divinity or not, it’s just a matter of time.

Because a Cultivator becoming a Divinity, to the Universe, is also just a coincidence, not an inevitable pattern... "Saying all this now is useless."

Ao Mengmeng also completely did not expect to encounter such a situation when she thought victory was in her grasp.

Qin Mu was too strong.

In just a few tens of days, he Cultivated to the Divine General-level combat power.

With a single move, he could unleash immeasurable damage.

Even a direct descendant of an ancient Bloodline great demon like Jiang Ni could be powerfully slain.

Who else could block his path?

Even with the All-Element Domain’s insurmountable restriction of not being able to become a Divinity, she felt there was great hope.

Now, all of this, under the silent mockery of the Universe, instantly turned into smoke and scattered.

"Qin Mu, you are the most Heaven-Defying existence in the entire Universe that Mengmeng has ever seen, heard of, and understood..."

Ao Mengmeng took a deep breath, her heart completely calm again.

"But, your Soul is indeed weak; this is probably your last shortcoming."

"Daylight, this Princess failed to protect."

"Heavenly Sword Sect, this Princess failed to protect."

"You..."

"This Princess must protect!!!"

Damn it!

Qin Mu scoffed, rolling his eyes weakly: "What time is it, can you stop pretending?"

"Protect? What will you use to protect?"

"Is your remnant Soul enough?"

Remnant Soul?

That depends on what kind of remnant Soul it is!!

Ao Mengmeng adjusted the Dragon horns on her head: "Hmph, little Human Race, how dare you look down on this Princess!"

"Dragon Clan, even a remnant Soul, is still a Dragon Soul!"

"In the Universe, the naturally strongest Souls belong to the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix!"

"Even the Spirit Race is only because their Souls are special, not because the Soul Origin is powerful..."

Hmm.

Qin Mu believed this point.

Ao Mengmeng’s tiny remnant Soul was more functional than a smart system; the fact that she could live so freely with a remnant Soul meant ordinary Souls definitely didn’t have this capability.

"The Human Race’s Souls are weak; this Princess planned to find a way to enhance them a few years later, once your Realm gradually stabilized."

Alas.

Ao Mengmeng sighed: "It’s a pity your improvement never stopped, even if this Princess had ideas, she couldn’t find the time."

What a pity.

One can only say it’s a pity.

Logically, in a normal plan, upon entering Star River Level combat power and gradually stepping into the Universe, one would need to ensure the stability of the Soul.

Ao Mengmeng had a plan.

But Qin Mu’s combat power far exceeded his Realm.

In the Pinnacle Battle, his continuous Breakthroughs and soaring combat power were beyond her comprehension.

"No more talk, time is running out, your Soul won’t last much longer, any more delay and it will harm your Origin~"

Ao Mengmeng giggled, tapping her toes and leaping out.

She spun in mid-air.

She actually transformed into her alluring Thunder Dragon true body, crashing towards the Soul star emitting a constant light in the distance.

"What the hell?!"

"What are you doing?!"

"Are you looking for death!?" Qin Mu was stunned at the sight.

Ao Mengmeng didn’t look back, transmitting her voice gracefully: "You’re still young, there’s a lot you don’t understand, and it’s all this Princess’s mistake."

"You don’t need to bear the responsibility."

"Later, when this Princess detonates her Dragon Soul, remember to absorb it; although it can’t completely strengthen your Soul, the power will definitely be enough to suppress and subdue the Spirit Treasure..."

"Oh right, remember to be careful in the future~"

"After all, the Universe is so vast, any danger is possible."

"After all... Mengmeng can’t always protect your Dao~"

"Awoo~"

The Thunder Dragon let out a long roar, accelerating in mid-air.

Damn it!

Qin Mu’s eyes widened: "In my Soul space, you want to show off?!"

"Get back here!"

Snap~!

Deep within Qin Mu’s Soul, several Sword Mountains instantly condensed and crashed down, directly blocking the Thunder Dragon’s path.

The Sword Mountains could block the Thunder Dragon, but they couldn’t block the burning that reached directly into the Soul.

But, that was enough.

The next instant.

The System’s notification sound appeared in his ear.

[Ding! Detecting that the host is forcefully subduing a cosmic spirit treasure, do you wish to analyze it?]

Huh???

Qin Mu was utterly stunned.

Analyze?

"Are you sick? Doesn’t analysis require waiting for a refresh?"

[Ding! Law analysis only has one chance per day; items are not within this restriction. The host has used it before and should know this.]

Holy cow!

That phrase "should know this" completely baffled Qin Mu.

He had indeed used analysis before, and the System hadn’t mentioned any restrictions at the time; it was only later that Law analysis said it needed to wait for a refresh.

Good heavens.

Was this considered implicitly known?

If he had time, Qin Mu might have remembered.

But this time, his Soul was exploding, his mind was so shattered he couldn’t organize any thoughts, it was hard to even stay conscious, and thinking was impossible.

Time, moreover, was pitifully scarce.

From the Spirit Treasure entering his body until now, it had only been a brief minute or two.

"Stop babbling, analyze!"

Qin Mu didn’t care if it was useful or not now; he’d use it if he could grasp it.

[Ding! Analysis complete. Below is the illustrated manual for the heart of eternity.]

Huh?

That’s it... Before Qin Mu could even react with a question mark, the System displayed the illustrated manual of the heart of eternity in his mind.

A single image.

It was just a simple image, a heart of eternity stripped of its spiritual light and splendor, resembling a transparent, fist-sized lump of dough.

Soft, and it looked quite delicious.

"Finished?"

"Spirit Treasure illustrated manual?"

"What is all this...?"

"Ding! Universe-level treasure, with an exclusive illustrated manual."

"The illustrated manual is a complete analysis of the treasure, which helps the host to acquire it, and aids in the use and development of the treasure."

Complete analysis... Hmm?

Qin Mu looked at the illustrated manual again.

This time.

The heart of eternity gradually enlarged, appearing even clearer.

No!

Not clearer, but transparent!

Seeing through its exterior directly into its interior.

The details of the heart of eternity were displayed before his eyes with utmost clarity.

Instantly, the operating logic of its various Laws, their usage effects, and possible combined effects appeared in his mind.

All the functions, uses, and even potential developed uses of the heart of eternity became directly clear.

"Acquire?"

Qin Mu’s thoughts stirred.
