My Crazy Upgrade System

In his haste, Ming Chen threw out a palm strike, only for it to backfire and severely injure him, especially since it exploded at such close range. The blast almost made him cough up blood. ’To be wounded by my own attack... How utterly pathetic.’

Yi Tianyun paid him no mind. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Ming Chen’s disciple and sent him flying with a savage kick.

"Aaargh—" The Core Formation Stage Cultivator let out a pained scream, which was abruptly cut off as he plummeted straight down.

The surrounding Cultivators rushed over to help. This was Ming Chen’s beloved disciple, so of course they had to attempt a rescue. However, by the time they caught his falling body, they discovered he was already dead, bleeding from all seven orifices. He couldn’t be any more dead.

’How could I let Ming Chen’s disciple live? For what Ming Chen has done, dying ten thousand times wouldn’t be enough. His disciple is surely no better. They’re cut from the same cloth; birds of a feather flock together.’

"NO!" Ming Chen roared, but it was too late. His disciple was dead. He was utterly devastated, his eyes locking onto Yi Tianyun with a cold glare. "I’ll kill you!"

"You’re next." Ignoring Ming Chen, Yi Tianyun pointed at another Cultivator. Just as the man was about to run to the edge and jump, Yi Tianyun instantly closed the distance. Another flying kick sent another of the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom’s prized geniuses flying off the platform.

These Core Formation Stage Cultivators were all considered geniuses. In the future, they had a high probability of reaching the Spirit King Stage. At the very least, becoming Void Spirit Stage experts would have been guaranteed.

Now, Yi Tianyun was picking them off one by one. They were far too slow compared to him. He could catch them in an instant, making escape impossible. It was one kick, one kill. Each was easily sent flying, with none surviving.

Just like that, more than twenty Core Formation Stage experts were effortlessly kicked to their deaths by Yi Tianyun, with not a single one spared. The only ones who hadn’t tried to flee were the Void Spirit Stage Cultivators. They all stared coldly at Yi Tianyun, not yet intending to run.

’We can handle Yi Tianyun!’

"You bastard! If you’ve got the guts, fight me!" Ming Chen roared. The death of his disciple was devastating. He had spent countless resources nurturing him, only for him to be killed so easily. His heart was bleeding.

"Don’t worry, I’ll get to each of you... You’re not running?" Yi Tianyun glanced at the Void Spirit Stage experts. They all stared back at him, their eyes filled with killing intent.

Each of them was protected by an Invincible Shield, which ended up defending against one of their own. Yi Tianyun had known about the shields all along, which was why he had ignored Ming Chen’s attack.

Who would have thought Ming Chen would lose his mind and attack so frantically, only to have his strike blocked by the shield? His companion, Nangong Ming, had tried to stop him but was too late.

"Run? Why should we? If you’ve got what it takes, fight me!" one of the Void Spirit Stage experts challenged, pulling out a medium-grade Sacred Artifact battle-ax and glaring at Yi Tianyun.

"Alright then, you’re up."

Yi Tianyun’s eyes went cold. His figure flickered, and in the next instant, an afterimage appeared before the expert as a fist came smashing down.

BAM! The Void Spirit Stage Cultivator was slammed to the ground. The force of the punch shattered his teeth and twisted his face out of shape. A heavy foot then stomped down on his chest, pinning him to the ground.

"Weren’t you arrogant just now? Get up and fight me," Yi Tianyun said coldly, his foot planted firmly on the Cultivator’s chest.

In a flash, a Void Spirit Stage Cultivator had been taken down. Everyone gasped. They had assumed Yi Tianyun was at the Void Spirit Stage, which would explain how he could instantly kill Core Formation Stage experts. But now, they knew they were wrong.

Even a Void Spirit Stage expert was floored by a single punch from Yi Tianyun! And it was obvious he had held back. Otherwise, a follow-up attack would have finished him off completely.

"You... you..." The Void Spirit Stage expert was horrified. ’I didn’t even see what happened, and I was taken out with one punch.’

He still didn’t understand what had just happened. He was completely dazed, his mind reeling. ’That punch nearly caved my head in. How could I be okay?’

"Alright, time for you to go!" Yi Tianyun sent him flying with a savage kick. The force was astonishing, launching the Cultivator through the air like a cannonball.

And just like the others, there was no exception. When his companions caught him, they found he was beyond dead. Not even Miracle Elixirs could bring him back.

"Ding! Successfully killed a Void Spirit Stage expert. Gained 18,000,000 Experience, 13,000 Madness Value, 600 Sin Value! Obtained Martial Arts: Divine Pushing Palm, Fire Thunder Palm. Obtained Items: Recovery Elixir, Fivefold Experience Card, Fish Scale Divine Armor (Medium-Grade Sacred Artifact), Fish Scale Boots (Medium-Grade Sacred Artifact)!"

A huge pile of loot dropped. Both the Experience and Madness Value were a quantum leap above the previous kills. These were the rewards for killing a Void Spirit Stage expert—so much better than killing those at the Core Formation Stage.

A chill ran down everyone’s spines. They never imagined even a Void Spirit Stage expert would be killed instantly.

"Retreat!" Ba Long and the others roared, signaling for the Void Spirit Stage experts to get out immediately.

They had originally thought a Void Spirit Stage opponent could suppress Yi Tianyun, but it seemed they had been far too naive. The bigger issue was that these subordinates had been eager to claim glory for themselves and had refused to leave.

And now look at them, running for their lives!

"Since this is a trial, you should see it through to the end. What’s the rush? Now that you’re here, don’t even think about leaving."

A wicked smile played on Yi Tianyun’s lips as he vanished. The next instant, he lunged at a fleeing Void Spirit Stage Cultivator. A Sacred Sword had appeared in his hand—it was the Netherworld Divine Sword!

He slashed down at the fleeing Void Spirit Stage expert. The man quickly drew his own weapon to block, but it was pointless.

HUMMM!

With that single slash from Yi Tianyun, the Void itself seemed to split in two, leaving a deep scar across the fabric of space. The Void Spirit Stage expert was effortlessly sliced in half at the waist! And he wasn’t the only one; several other Void Spirit Stage experts nearby were also caught in the terrifying attack’s range!

Those farther away managed to defend against it, but the ones closer were instantly cleaved in two, their bodies flying off the Celestial Altar leaving only a trail of blood behind.

"Ding! Successfully killed a Void Spirit Stage expert. Gained 16,000,000 Experience, Madness Value..."

"Ding! Successfully killed a Void Spirit Stage expert. Gained Experience..."

One slash had bisected two people and heavily wounded the rest! But it wasn’t over. With a flicker, Yi Tianyun summoned three clones. They shot out, chasing after the other fleeing Void Spirit Stage experts, each clone brandishing a Netherworld Divine Sword with unstoppable, domineering might!
