Infinite Hextech, I roam freely across the heavens.

Chapter 135 Sweep Completed

Aside from a few that he kept as experimental subjects, he sent the rest to the afterlife, which replenished his previously dwindling points.

With the ghosts from the Zhou Tian Secret Strategy being retrieved, the area returned to peace.

After patrolling the surrounding area again to make sure no one had escaped, Meng Li returned.

Four more days have passed.

Standing before the giant black cocoon, Meng Li's face showed anticipation.

At this moment, the black Netherworld Qi shattered into pieces, just like an eggshell.

As these gaps appeared, an inexplicable sense of oppression permeated the air.

It's very similar to Azra's oppressive aura.

That was a sense of oppression that clearly surpassed even B-grade.

As the oppressive aura spread, Meng Li felt an immediate sense of submission, but his body remained completely still.

After all, the pressure that Azra released specifically targeting him back then had no effect whatsoever due to the resistance of the Dao of Self, and now he was only facing the remnants of Duan Yun's aura due to his recent breakthrough, so there was no need to say more.

And then the black shell was completely shattered.

A snow-white body appeared before Meng Li's eyes.

Um... she wasn't wearing any clothes.

"Owner."

Seeing that Duan Yun was trembling and wanted to come over, Meng Li pointed to her body.

I looked down.

Duan Yun's previously excited expression suddenly flushed slightly.

As she appeared in a simple dress similar to the one she had worn before, she calmed herself down and approached.

"How did it go? Did it work?"

Putting the beautiful scenery behind her, Meng Li asked a question.

Upon hearing Meng Li's question, Duan Yun nodded, then shook her head.

A look of distress appeared on her face.

"Master, my power has indeed increased significantly, but it seems to be stuck and hasn't reached the next level... It feels incomplete and a bit strange."

"Incomplete?"

Duan Yun's words touched on Meng Li's blind spot in knowledge.

After all, from the time he rose to prominence until now, he has basically improved by uniting everyone. His stats will naturally increase when he reaches a certain level, and there is no such thing as a realm.

The Way of Self and the Secret Strategies of the Heavenly Cycle tend to be more about so-called techniques rather than righteous methods that can be cultivated and improved.

Since we don't know the reason, let's try fighting it out.

Soon after sparring with Duan Yun, a thoughtful look appeared in Meng Li's eyes.

The opponent's strength is indeed questionable.

When Duan Yun held the Book of Life and Death, the pressure she exerted on him was almost at the A- level. However, when she put down the Book of Life and Death, it suddenly dropped to a level close to A- but seemingly somewhat different.

After becoming familiar with the strength, Duan Yun also had some guesses.

Previously, her advancement relied entirely on the Yellow Spring Qi. However, many years ago, her cultivation level was fixed at this point, as if she had encountered a bottleneck, and no matter how much Yellow Spring Qi she absorbed, she could no longer improve.

Although she managed to open a gap in the bottleneck by relying on the Book of Life and Death, it was only a gap.

When using the Book of Life and Death, she could barely reach that level with the help of magical treasures. However, without using it, relying solely on that opening, she was like a malnourished A-level, capable of crushing B-level, but still falling short.

Meng Li didn't have any good solutions to this either. Perhaps a solution would be found in that special world later.

However, no matter what, Meng Li was quite satisfied that she could be used as an A-level combatant. In any case, she was more useful than a useless Book of Life and Death.

Duan Yun has emerged from seclusion, having achieved all his objectives. Logically, he should now be considering returning to China.

But Meng Li was not in a hurry to leave.

Although there were many ghosts that were cleared out before, they were definitely not the entirety of the Netherworld.

With the sensory abilities of the local Duan Yun, how could he justify the wasted time on this trip if he didn't pluck all the ghosts out of this world?

Not to mention, there might still be some magical treasures left in this world. He needs to go back and receive them from Ye Tiannan. These kinds of things can improve him now. If he can find another one, it will be a huge win.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to go step by step.

For the rest of the time, Meng Li wandered around the Netherworld.

At first, apart from the shattered hell, he couldn't find a single ghost within a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

That's normal, considering the number of ghosts he killed was quite large. It's highly likely that Duan Yun attracted them, and he wiped out all the ghosts around him in that wave.

However, the range of influence of the Book of Life and Death is limited.

As his search area expanded again, one after another, fierce ghosts began to appear before him, followed by high-level ghosts such as the one in red and the one who wielded the green sword.

Meng Li welcomes all who come.

Sometimes, when they encounter a few hells that haven't been shattered yet, it's like winning the lottery. As a good person, Meng Li naturally helps these vengeful ghosts to break free of their seals unconditionally.

Of course, it's perfectly reasonable for them to repay him by working like cattle and horses.

Time passed day by day.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

This hell was much larger than Meng Li had imagined.

Although he moved fast enough, his efficiency was not as high as he had expected in order to search more thoroughly. Moreover, some ghosts would hide after they gained sentience, which made it even more necessary for him to find them one by one, which greatly increased the difficulty of his search.

However, his efforts paid off.

Meng Li wasn't annoyed by this tedious search at all. The reason was simple: he earned hundreds of thousands of points every day, and high-level ghosts kept coming his way. He naturally didn't dislike this feeling of continuous improvement.

Unfortunately, although he wasn't bored, the number of ghosts in the underworld was ultimately limited.

Upon seeing the pale yellow light barrier in front of him, Meng Li knew that his journey to the Underworld had come to an end.

This so-called Netherworld is not a sphere, but is shrouded in a golden light shield on all sides. Meng Li tested it, and after breaking the light shield, what appeared in front of him was not the real world, but an endless darkness.

It is not the universe, nor does it contain any Yellow Spring Qi; it is simply a void and deathly silence.

Meng Li was actually quite interested in exploring it, but since he hadn't finished searching Youming, he put the idea aside.

By this time, he had already swept through the Netherworld countless times. Even if there were any that slipped through the net, they were most likely hiding very deep and were not vengeful spirits that Meng Li would consider worthy of his attention.

At this moment, he was surrounded by more than fifty ghost kings, and the rest were all high-level ghosts such as the Green-Capturing Ghost, the Life-Borrowing Ghost, and the Human-Pointing Ghost. One can imagine how much he had gained this time.

Now that he has returned to the border of the Netherworld, he is naturally eager to make his move.

Without hesitation, he stepped inside.
