Mythical Era: I Can Upgrade Everything

"Let me introduce myself. I am Zhou Mucheng, a top-level member of the Yunjiang City Anomaly Investigation and Handling Bureau."

After entering the room, Zhou Mucheng sat down in a chair and introduced herself, while gesturing to the chair on the other side.

After Chen Mo sat down, he sized up the other person briefly.

Zhou Mucheng has shoulder-length short hair, and her delicate features exude a heroic spirit. She has a refreshing and capable aura.

However, the weariness on the other person's face was hard to hide at this moment.

Chen Mo noticed the other person's self-introduction and asked with some curiosity:

"The Bureau of Anomalies Investigation and Handling... was it recently established?"

Hearing this, Zhou Mucheng gave him a strange look, but still explained:

"It was established long ago. Since the arrival of the Void Realm, the Anomaly Investigation and Handling Bureau was quickly established to be able to handle all kinds of emergencies quickly."

"I see your strength has reached the two-star level, so you should have been exposed to these things long ago, right?"

Among the two-star level, this information is basically public knowledge. Moreover, because the two-star level has gradually become extraordinary and its strength far surpasses that of the one-star level, they will try their best to win over any two-star level to deal with future situations.

After a brief explanation, Zhou Mucheng's expression suddenly turned serious.

"You must be from somewhere else; you probably don't know what's going on here."

Zhou Mucheng gave a brief introduction to the situation here.

She had noticed early on that a man in black was performing some kind of ritual there, and that the ritual seemed to involve killing other people, so she immediately reported it.

In the present day, almost all the superhumans in Cuiyun Town who have internet access are aware of the danger.

Even so, this can only delay the ceremony, not stop it completely.

Because extraordinary individuals from other places would suddenly arrive in town from time to time, she couldn't possibly save them in time every time.

If Zhou Mucheng wasn't mistaken, the black-clad man's ritual was probably nearing completion.

"They want to use a ritual to release a terrifying monster that has been sealed away!"

If that were all, it would be fine. After all, no matter how powerful the sealed monster is, once it is released, it will only exist in the Ruins Realm.

However, after investigating, Zhou Mucheng discovered that the man in black's accomplices had also made preparations in reality.

Once the ritual is complete, not only will the sealed monster be released, but it may even appear directly in reality!

  

"Therefore, we must not let him complete the ceremony."

"What if that terrifying monster appeared in reality..."

"Not only Cuiyun Town, but even several surrounding towns will be affected!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo felt a chill run down his spine, and then his expression darkened.

His parents live right next to Cuiyun Town!

Taking a deep breath, Chen Mo suddenly thought of a question:

"Did they go to all this just to make monsters appear in reality?"

"Of course not."

Zhou Mucheng hesitated for a moment, then said:

"The organization that man in black belongs to calls itself the 'Secret Holy Spirit Society,' and they are said to possess a special ability."

Seemingly recalling some unpleasant scene, Zhou Mucheng's face turned cold, and her tone became icy:

"As long as the Ruins Realm is connected to parts of the real world, forming a dangerous area, or certain monsters are allowed to appear in the real world, they can benefit from it and increase their strength."

"But doing so will only accelerate the merging of the Ruins Realm with reality!"

"It is precisely because of the existence of these people that the integration of the Void Realm and reality is accelerating!"

"Moreover... their methods often require killing a large number of other people; countless people have already perished at their hands!"

Zhou Mucheng suppressed her emotions and looked at Chen Mo solemnly.

"The man in black is currently in the temple in the center of town, and his ritual is probably about to be completed."

"But the temple is guarded by a large number of monsters, and I can't get through it by myself."

"I need your help to hold off those monsters so I can enter the temple and disrupt the ritual!"

These past few days, Zhou Mucheng has been trying to rush into the temple, but she has no chance at all, and several times she has almost been surrounded and unable to get out.

As the ceremony drew closer to completion, she grew increasingly anxious and even considered making a final desperate attempt to sabotage it.

Just as Chen Mo was about to agree, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he abruptly turned to look out the window.

Through the window, one can see the temple not far away, and at this moment, an extremely terrifying aura emanates from it.

In the dim light, Chen Mo seemed to see a towering mountain appear before him. At this moment, a giant black tiger appeared in the mountain and roared to the sky, its roar echoing through the forest.

The wind howled, and all the beasts fell silent.

A terrifying gale appeared in the mountains and forests, sweeping everything around it wildly!

Trees split and rocks crumbled, as if to destroy everything around them!

"Mountain Lord!"

Chen Mo's expression was grave.

The mere aura he exuded was enough to give him an irresistible feeling...

How terrifying is their true strength?

We must never let it become a reality!

"Right now, I'll hold off those monsters, you go in and disrupt the ritual!"

Chen Mo stood up and quickly made a decision.

Zhou Mucheng knew that there was no time to lose, so she and Chen Mo quickly headed toward the temple not far away.

Upon arriving at the temple, the two were immediately confronted by a large group of sinister-looking thugs.

Just as Zhou Mucheng was about to make a move, Chen Mo suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"Conserve your energy so you don't mess things up when you disrupt the ceremony. I'll clear the way for you!"

After saying that, Chen Mo rushed out, his long sword instantly bursting into bright flames, and slashed heavily at the accomplice in front of him.

With a few "whoosh" sounds, the accomplice in front of him instantly turned into mangled pieces and flew out!

After seeing this scene, Zhou Mucheng felt slightly relieved.

At this point, the stronger Chen Mo is, the better!

Following the path Chen Mo had carved out, Zhou Mucheng charged forward.

Blade flashes continued to streak across the air, instantly slicing the surging accomplices in two. They were then quickly enveloped by flames emanating from the blades, letting out piercing screams of agony.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally arrived at a spot not far from the temple entrance.

"You go inside quickly, I'll stay here and hold off these monsters!"

Chen Mo stood still, his blade flashing as he quickly cleared a path!

Zhou Mucheng seized the opportunity and rushed into the temple.

For the rest of the time, Chen Mo kept watch not far from the main gate. Wherever his long sword passed, the accomplices he struck were instantly cut in two.

Flames continued to burn on the bodies of the chang. It could be seen that some chang seemed unable to withstand the power of the flames, and their entire bodies were completely devoured and disappeared!

Seeing the evolution point notification appear in front of him, Chen Mo's spirits lifted.

"It was successfully killed!"

He was preparing to kill some more henchmen when he suddenly heard some noise coming from the temple.

At this moment, inside the temple.

With a "bang".

Zhou Mucheng's body slammed heavily against the wall beside her. The violent impact made her cough a few times, and blood kept flowing from her mouth.

Not only that, she also had several shocking wounds on her body!

With difficulty, Zhou Mucheng looked at the black-clad man in front of her who was only slightly injured, and a sense of powerlessness and a barely perceptible despair welled up in her heart.

Despite both being mid-level two-star opponents, I was no match for them at all!

How could the difference be so huge?!

The man in black looked at Zhou Mucheng's unwilling expression, as if she were prepared to fight to the death, and said in a mocking tone:

"You were so close, so very close, to ruining my ritual. What a pity."

"I was planning to deal with you later, but you came to me on your own."

"Since that's the case, then let's keep you here. We'll turn you into a vengeful ghost. I wonder what your colleagues' expressions will be when they see you as a vengeful ghost?"

"Oh, and that person outside, they can't leave either!"

Behind the man in black, eerie dark red patterns emitted a faint blood-red light, and a phantom was gradually coalescing.

Seeing this, Zhou Mucheng turned ashen-faced and filled with despair.

In the end... they still couldn't stop it?

Nevertheless, Zhou Mucheng gathered her strength, preparing to launch a final attack at the cost of her life.

Even if the hope is slim.

Outside at this moment.

Chen Mo also heard the commotion inside, and his heart sank.

"She's no match for the man in black?"

Without a moment's hesitation, he slashed back the approaching courier with a single stroke, then swiftly charged inside.

As he ran, he glanced at the panel, which showed he had 4270 evolution points.

enough!

Without hesitation, Chen Mo chose to upgrade the Tang sword, raising it to Lv20 in one go!
