My Crazy Upgrade System-Chapter 96 - 95: Going Crazy

Wentian Ancestor was instantly killed by Yi Tianyun’s spear, which left a gaping hole in his chest. The old man’s body twitched, and he opened his mouth, trying to speak. But between his fatal wound and his advanced age, his life was already like a lamp with no oil left. His head lolled to one side, and he was utterly dead. He made no other movements, his eyes only staring wide, unable to rest in peace.

"Ding! Successfully killed Wentian Ancestor. Obtained 120,000 Experience, 3,000 Madness Value. Obtained Chaotic Heaven Set: Chaotic Celestial Saint Axe (Low-Grade Soul Artifact), Chaotic Heaven Divine Armor (Low-Grade Soul Artifact), Chaotic Heaven Battle Boots (Low-Grade Soul Artifact)!"

Yi Tianyun’s cold gaze swept over the ancestors who had surrounded him, and a single look was enough to scare them into retreat. The strongest among them, Wentian Ancestor, had been killed with a single spear thrust. The remaining ancestors were all weaker than him—what chance did they possibly have?

The ancestors of Merak Palace gasped. They had all met Yi Tianyun before, when he was just a piece of trash with no Blood Qi. Some of the ancestors had been quite displeased, as he had been brought in by the previous Palace Master in violation of the rules. If Shi Xueyun hadn’t forcefully protected Yi Tianyun, declaring that she would leave Merak Palace if he were driven out, they would have kicked him out long ago.

Faced with that threat, the ancestors had chosen to relent. The position of Palace Master couldn’t move Shi Xueyun at all; she would rather leave with Yi Tianyun than stay in Merak Palace! Otherwise, they really would have driven him out. That was already the height of their benevolence; anyone else in his position would have been slapped to death long ago.

But now, the power Yi Tianyun displayed completely suppressed them. ’He could put a hole through any one of us with a single thrust of his spear. Even Wentian Ancestor was killed in an instant, so what chance would we have?’

Elder Mo Yu and the others were equally dumbfounded. ’We haven’t seen him in a while, and it seems Yi Tianyun’s cultivation has increased again? How on earth does he train? We’ve been desperately trying to improve with no success, and these ancestors have cultivated their entire lives just to reach their current stage!’

Shi Xueyun’s beautiful eyes sparkled, her heart pounding with excitement. It was the same for Jiu Lingyun; upon seeing Yi Tianyun, her face flushed red, and she was completely starstruck. ’Now *this* is my Young Master Yi!’

"So what if I’m arrogant? Let’s see who can possibly be more arrogant than me!"

After leaving them with those words, Yi Tianyun transformed into a streak of red light and shot toward a nearby ancestor. The terrified ancestor wished he had been born with an extra leg as he turned to flee for his life, but how could his speed possibly compare to Yi Tianyun, who had just unleashed a four-fold power boost?

In the blink of an eye, he was upon him. The Blood Evil Divine Spear thrust forward, easily piercing through the ancestor’s aged body.

"Ding! Successfully killed Celestial Peak Ancestor. Obtained 110,000 Experience, 2,700 Madness Value, Celestial Divine Palm (Low-Grade Earth Level Martial Arts), Thunderbolt Step (Low-Grade Earth Level Martial Arts), Heaven-shaking Divine Stone (Low-Grade Soul Artifact)!"

A glint flashed in Yi Tianyun’s eyes as he continued the chase. No matter how his opponents tried to block or fight back, he effortlessly shattered all their incoming attacks. It wasn’t difficult at all. His cultivation was already high to begin with; after a four-fold power boost, who could possibly stand in his way?

If his cultivation had only been at the First Level of the Core Formation Stage, even a four-fold boost wouldn’t have been enough to face them. But things were different now. His cultivation was at the Eighth Level of the Core Formation Stage, and with a four-fold boost on top of top-tier Martial Arts like the Dragon God Technique, the power he instantly unleashed was unstoppable. He was one man holding a fortress against an army.

"Ding! Successfully killed..."

Like a bloodthirsty demon, he frantically reaped the lives of the surrounding Cultivators. The others weren’t idle either, helping to eliminate the invaders without holding anything back. With every swing of a weapon, a life was snuffed out.

Outside Merak Palace, the ground was stained crimson, and the air was thick with the stench of blood. But if anyone there resembled a demon, it was Yi Tianyun. A blood-colored Evil Qi radiated from his body, making him look like a devil that had clawed its way out of the abyss to devour everything. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"I... we surrender! We surrender!"

Of the six invading ancestors, five had been slain. The sole survivor retreated in haste, stammering in terror as he looked at Yi Tianyun, "We’ll withdraw! We’ll withdraw and never set foot in Merak Palace again...!"

"You think surrendering now will do you any good?! When you were cornering us, did you ever consider sparing us?!" Ice Heart Ancestor and the others glared at the last ancestor and rushed forward, intent on finishing him off.

"Let me handle this!"

Yi Tianyun’s eyes went cold as he thrust the Blood Evil Divine Spear. A flash of red light erupted as his power surged to its peak, and the spear pierced through its target as easily as poking through a sheet of paper.

"Aargh..."

The ancestor let out a wretched cry as he was sent flying. He landed on the ground, his body twitched, and then he was gone. Watching the ancestor fall, Yi Tianyun nodded in satisfaction. ’I can’t just let Ice Heart Ancestor kill an Elite Level mob like this. What a waste that would be. This is experience, this is treasure!’

"Ding! Successfully killed Brahma Heaven Ancestor. Obtained 100,000 Experience, 2,500 Madness Value, Heaven-Burning Technique (Low-Grade Earth Level Martial Arts), Wind and Fire Palm (Low-Grade Earth Level Martial Arts)!"

"Ding! Congratulations to Player ’Yi Tianyun’ for successfully breaking through to the Ninth Level of the Core Formation Stage!"

After finally killing six ancestors, plus a good number of deacons and elders, his cultivation broke through to the Ninth Level of the Core Formation Stage. He needed so much experience now. Even though a single kill netted him over a hundred thousand experience, he would still need to kill ten to twenty more of them to gather enough experience to level up again.

’The higher my level, the harder it is to upgrade. That’s a given. And this is with a six-fold experience boost active; I still need to kill ten or twenty of them. Without it, I would need far more.’

"Kill!"

The next moment, Yi Tianyun put away the Blood Evil Divine Spear and equipped his Frost Fist again. The Evil Qi vanished in an instant, and the oppressive pressure in the air dissipated. Immediately, a wave of cold frost descended from the sky. With a loud CRACK, a large number of people were instantly Frozen solid.

The Frost Fist was ineffective against the six ancestors, which was why he had immediately used a Soul Artifact. Now that the six ancestors were dead, he switched back to the Frost Fist. ’I need to raise its Skill Level, after all.’

"None of you are getting away!"

"Star Absorption Technique!"

Yi Tianyun raised his hand. Under his terrifying suction force, several nearby people were violently pulled over and stuck fast to his palm. The Spiritual Power within their bodies was continuously siphoned out, converting into a wealth of experience points.

’If only I could have freely drained the Spiritual Power from those six ancestors earlier. The experience would have been immense, definitely more than what I got from just killing them. Gaining experience from absorbing and again from killing... with that two-for-one deal, I would have leveled up even faster.’

With everyone working together to exterminate the invaders, the majority were finally cleared out. All the elites from the three major factions had been utterly annihilated. The only ones left were likely some Outer Disciples and other ordinary disciples who had remained at their sects.

As of this moment, the three major factions were considered completely finished.
