My Crazy Upgrade System

Chapter 543: Chapter 542: Level Up, Crushing

After the massive demon blasted apart Yi Tianyun’s attack with its giant palm, it swung its huge hand to grab him. The enormous palm was like a roiling black cloud, enveloping the entire top of the Celestial Altar.

The expressions of the surrounding Cultivators changed drastically. They never expected Ming Chen to be able to summon such a terrifying demon. They feared that if one were caught by it, their soul would surely be devoured.

"Hand over your soul!" Ming Chen let out a bitter laugh. He wasn’t in good shape himself. Even if he won, it would take a very long time for him to recover.

This burst of power had been too extreme. He had sacrificed too much of his own soul to summon this demon; only by doing so could he call forth a stronger one. Blasting Yi Tianyun’s attack apart with a single strike was the best proof of its power.

Its Combat Power now reached a staggering 1.2 billion, setting a new record. It was an entire tier stronger than the skill Yi Tianyun had previously unleashed!

"Hand over my soul? We’ll see if you’re worthy!"

A cold glint flashed in Yi Tianyun’s eyes. Just as he prepared to burn the Essence Blood within him to gain the strength to resist, a pleasant sound rang in his ears.

"Ding! The Celestial Cloud Mansion has successfully annihilated a heinous force. Gained 200,000,000 Experience, 500,000 Madness Value, and 10,000 Sin Value!"

"Ding! Congratulations to Player ’Yi Tianyun’ for successfully breaking through to the ninth level of the Void Spirit Stage!"

He hadn’t expected a sudden flood of rewards at a time like this, allowing him to break through and level up to the ninth level of the Void Spirit Stage in one go. It was as if his companions from the Celestial Cloud Mansion were right there supporting him. Even from so far away, they were still striving on his behalf!

’It’s great having you all here with me...’

A warm smile graced Yi Tianyun’s lips as the power he unleashed instantly skyrocketed. With the boost from his new level and the sixteen-fold damage multiplier from Madness Mode stacked on top, his power became truly explosive.

1.1 billion Combat Power!

1.2 billion Combat Power!

1.3 billion Combat Power!

His Combat Power shot up by 250 million in an instant. Breaking through from the eighth to the ninth level of the Void Spirit Stage had added over ten million to his Combat Power. With that as a base, multiplied sixteen-fold, another 200-plus million in Combat Power was generated just like that.

BOOM!

The massive Thunder Dragon let out a roar and lunged forward, viciously biting down. It shattered the descending palm in a single bite, then rammed forward and completely pulverized the entire demonic arm.

"ROOOAR..."

After its arm was pulverized, the demon actually recoiled in fear. The black hole in the sky rapidly sealed shut, and everything returned to normal. But the massive Thunder Dragon wasn’t finished. It writhed in the air, then opened its maw and viciously chomped down!

"This... this is impossible..."

Ming Chen’s pupils constricted. He never imagined that even after going all out, after putting half his life on the line, he would still be overpowered. It was as if his opponent’s power had exploded out of nowhere at the last moment, strengthening so much that it left him completely baffled. He had no idea what had just happened!

CRASH!

The Thunder Dragon paid no mind to his shock. It crashed down from the sky, and massive bolts of lightning spread out in all directions. A pained scream came from within the dazzling white light, but it was quickly drowned out by a clap of thunder that echoed through the heavens!

The surrounding subordinates were stunned into silence. This battle had shocked them far too many times. Especially for the few Spirit King Stage experts watching from afar, their hearts seized. ’If I had to face that attack,’ they thought, ’I would have been utterly powerless to stop it.’

’How did our Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom manage to provoke such a monster? He invaded our territory alone, killed four Spirit King Stage experts in a row, and couldn’t be suppressed even when faced with a Divine Artifact.’

’Doesn’t that mean this invader’s cultivation is at least at the eighth or ninth level of the Spirit King Stage? Which power’s elder is this, or is he a Sect Master-level expert who has come to kill us?’

When the white light faded, Ming Chen was revealed lying on the ground, his body twitching. He was still breathing, but just barely.

At some point, Yi Tianyun had walked over and was now looking down at him coldly. Ming Chen was finally defeated.

"You... who exactly are you...?" Ming Chen gasped, using his last breath. Before he died, he still wanted to know Yi Tianyun’s true identity.

Yi Tianyun bent down, leaned in close to his head, and whispered, "A power from the Mortal Realm. The power that flattened the Netherworld Empire: the Celestial Cloud Mansion! You once told me that if I ever came to the Netherworld, my strength would count for nothing... I wonder, how do you feel about that now?"

"It’s... it’s you..."

Ming Chen’s eyes flew wide open. A moment later, his breathing stopped. He was dead. Hearing such astonishing information with his final breath had literally shocked him to death.

"Ding! Successfully killed Ming Chen. Gained 180,000,000 Experience, 11,000 Madness Value, and 3,000 Sin Value. Obtained Martial Arts: Netherworld Divine Palm, Netherworld Divine Technique, Nether Dragon Possession. Obtained Items: Netherworld Fire (Mid-Grade Earth Level), Celestial Nether Token (Rare), Celestial Nether Key (Rare), Fiftyfold Experience Card (Rare)!"

"Ding! For consecutively killing four Spirit King Stage experts, you have received a kill-streak bonus: 50,000,000 Experience and 50,000 Madness Value!"

’I didn’t expect to get an extra bonus for a kill streak.’ ’The bonus for killing a higher-level opponent is gone, though. While Ming Chen was powerful, his strength was entirely dependent on the Celestial Nether Divine Sword. In that sense, his own power wasn’t all that overwhelming.’

’Without the Celestial Nether Divine Sword, crushing him would have been effortless. This is the advantage of having high cultivation. With my own overwhelming power as a base, plus the insanely powerful Madness Mode, who could possibly stand in my way?’

"Your things are mine now." Yi Tianyun collected all of their Storage Rings. He had, of course, already taken the Storage Rings from Niu Tuntian and the others he’d killed earlier.

’The possessions of a Spirit King Stage expert are nothing to scoff at. I can’t possibly pass them up. This is all resources!’

’The Celestial Nether Divine Sword... another Divine Artifact. Not bad.’ Yi Tianyun picked up the Celestial Nether Divine Sword. This was the second Divine Artifact he had obtained.

’Killing them wouldn’t normally drop a Divine Artifact. With their level of cultivation, they aren’t qualified to possess one. It must be a Treasure they borrowed from their Saint Master.’

"Put down the Celestial Nether Divine Sword!"

At this, the few remaining Spirit King Stage experts roared in anger. That was a Divine Artifact; there was no way they would let Yi Tianyun take it.

"Oh? You want the Celestial Nether Divine Sword back? Fine," Yi Tianyun said, looking at them with amusement. "You can wait down there. Once I’m finished here, I’ll come and entertain you all. If you can stop me then, forget the Celestial Nether Divine Sword—you can even have my life." His smile alone was enough to send a chill down their spines.

They recalled Yi Tianyun’s overwhelming power. Now that he also had the Celestial Nether Divine Sword, how could they possibly stop him? ’He could probably kill one of us with a single strike!’

’None of them were as strong as Ming Chen; the most powerful among them was only at the fifth level of the Spirit King Stage. It looked like they wouldn’t even be a decent appetizer for him!’
