My Crazy Upgrade System

Chapter 532: Chapter 531: 1 vs. 30

The number of people remained the same, and the situation appeared unchanged as well. Many of the Cultivators’ faces lit up with joy when they saw them. It looked as if Yi Tianyun was doomed. As long as he successfully reached the top, his invincible state would be dispelled, and he would return to his normal, vulnerable state.

"That’s the invader? Just one of them? Is this guy an idiot?" A Spirit King Stage expert flew up, his eyes filled with derision as he looked at Yi Tianyun.

They were all experts from the Imperial City, here to prepare for the trial. None of them could have expected something like this to happen, and it was a real shame they hadn’t been able to get here sooner. Crucially, many of the participants were Cultivators with astonishing Potential. Under normal circumstances, the thirty slots were reserved for those with the greatest Potential, not for Spirit King Stage experts.

Cultivators at the Void Spirit Stage and above gained very few benefits from this, so the focus was on nurturing those at the Core Transformation Stage. A few Spirit King Stage experts would come as they pleased, which wasn’t an issue, but most were just here to escort others for the trial.

Ming Chen and the others were here mostly to bring their disciples for the trial; none of them expected this kind of problem to arise.

They all looked at Yi Tianyun, certain he was doomed. Although the incident had caused a huge commotion, at least it seemed to have a clear resolution. If they could successfully capture an invader and force him to reveal information about secret passages, the overall outcome would be acceptable.

What they feared most was the invader getting away without them finding out anything. The Saint Master’s wrath was not something they could withstand. After all, this was no longer a matter of losses, but a matter of reputation.

For an invader to waltz through such a massive Divine Kingdom and get away scot-free! What would become of their dignity?

The spectating Cultivators outside assumed the situation was under control, but Ming Chen and the others were completely bewildered. Under normal circumstances, Yi Tianyun’s Invincible Shield should have vanished the moment he arrived.

There was no order of precedence here. Without his shield, Yi Tianyun would be a sitting duck.

Yet now, after he had climbed up, they had all been teleported up as well. Crucially, nothing had changed—the Invincible Shield was still on him, and theirs hadn’t disappeared either.

This development left them utterly astonished. A situation like this had never happened before.

"Conditions for inheritance met. Officially entering the third trial! The Inheritor must knock all opponents off the Celestial Altar to claim victory!"

The moment the voice faded, a beam of light enveloped Yi Tianyun, making him exceptionally dazzling. The others remained dim and drab in comparison, though they, too, were still covered by a shield.

’Inheritor?’ Yi Tianyun was stunned. ’I became the Inheritor just like that?’

He was stunned, and the others were even more dumbfounded. How could an Inheritor suddenly appear? In all this time, there had never been an Inheritor—until Yi Tianyun.

"What’s going on? Where did this Inheritor come from? He became the Inheritor? How is that possible!?" Their faces darkened. They had all climbed to the top, so how was it that Yi Tianyun became the Inheritor?

Could reaching the summit be the key to becoming the Inheritor? They found this impossible. It wasn’t as if they had never reached the summit before. How had things turned out this way?

Regardless of who the Inheritor was, the deep voice spoke again.

"The Inheritor will choose their opponents for one-on-one duels. This will continue until everyone has been removed from the Celestial Altar, unless they voluntarily surrender."

The choice fell to Yi Tianyun. He could pick his opponents, but he had to remove every single person from the altar to complete the third trial.

This was undoubtedly equivalent to taking on thirty people by himself. Wasn’t the difficulty a bit too high? The most powerful cultivators present were none other than Ming Chen and his group, all of whom were Spirit King Stage experts.

This meant that among the people Yi Tianyun had to face, there were four Spirit King Stage experts. That kind of pressure would not be easy to handle.

"So you’ve become the Inheritor? Then why don’t you pick me as your opponent!" Ba Long stepped forward, glaring at him coldly, completely unafraid.

"That’s right, Inheritor, come and deal with me! If you can’t get us out of here, you’ll never pass the trial!" A wave of jealousy washed over Ming Chen and the others. They didn’t know how Yi Tianyun had managed it, but their only choice now was to play hardball. As long as Yi Tianyun couldn’t get rid of them, he could never become the true Inheritor.

This filled their hearts with scorn. He could only become the true Inheritor after defeating them. This was going to be amusing. With so many Spirit King Stage experts, how could he possibly win?

"Don’t worry, I’ll deal with all of you, one by one... starting with you!" Yi Tianyun pointed at one of the Core Transformation Stage Cultivators. A Divine Light descended upon the man, and his Invincible Shield vanished. At the same time, Yi Tianyun’s own Invincible Shield disappeared as well.

The next moment, Yi Tianyun’s figure flickered. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Core Transformation Stage expert and lashed out with a brutal kick.

THUD!

The Core Transformation Stage expert didn’t even have time to react before he was sent flying by the kick. He shot straight off the massive Celestial Altar and plummeted from the sky. There was no need to worry about the pain of the fall, however, as the system’s voice was already ringing in Yi Tianyun’s ears.

"Ding! Successfully killed a Core Transformation Stage Cultivator. Obtained 47,000 experience, 4,700 Madness Value, and 200 Sin Value. Obtained Martial Arts..."

The notification meant the Core Transformation Stage expert was already dead. Yi Tianyun would show absolutely no mercy. As long as they were from the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom, he wouldn’t hesitate for a second.

A single, fatal kick. He was dead long before he could hit the ground.

"One Trial Taker has been successfully removed. Please designate the next." The deep voice rumbled from the sky once more.

A Core Transformation Stage expert had been eliminated in the blink of an eye, leaving everyone dumbfounded. They hadn’t even processed what had happened before the man was kicked off the altar. Clearly, this invader’s cultivation was far from simple.

"All of you, get out of here!" Ming Chen roared, signaling for the others to flee. The ones who had come up for the trial were all quite talented, and his own disciple was among them. How could he not have them leave first?

"I choose you!"

Yi Tianyun pointed at another Core Transformation Stage Cultivator. The shield on the chosen Cultivator vanished, and Yi Tianyun immediately gave chase.

"Master, save me!" the Core Transformation Stage Cultivator screamed, looking utterly terrified as he turned and fled for his life. But how could his speed possibly match Yi Tianyun’s?

"You brat, stop!" Ming Chen roared in fury, unleashing a fierce palm strike at Yi Tianyun. The Netherworld Divine Palm erupted—the familiar Martial Arts appearing once more, proving he was the one who had controlled the Netherworld Emperor.

BANG!

But the attack never even made it out. It was instantly suppressed and detonated by the shield enveloping Ming Chen’s own body. A terrifying force then rampaged within his shield, forcing him to absorb the full brunt of his own palm strike.

It seemed the shield not only prevented attacks but also stopped anyone from ambushing the Inheritor!
