My Crazy Upgrade System

The Black Dragon King’s energy grew weaker and weaker, and the surrounding Black Dragon Power grew even fainter. Even its voice, begging for mercy, became weak and feeble.

"I beg you, human, I beg you to spare me! Don’t keep devouring my power! If this continues, I’ll surely die... I know many secrets, many treasures! If you let me go, I’ll tell you everything!" the Black Dragon King pleaded continuously, begging Yi Tianyun to spare its life.

"Unfortunately, I’m not interested in any of that. You wanted to merge with me for no other reason than to devour me. Did you think I didn’t know what happened with the Black Soul Ancestor? It seems a good portion of his body was devoured. You just want to use us to gain more energy, to turn us into your puppets, constantly offering up sacrifices! Eventually, you’d surely be resurrected. As for when, I’m not quite sure."

Yi Tianyun had seen through its scheme long ago. He believed the Black Soul Ancestor had also realized it, but instead of resisting, he had continued to cultivate. This was because any other method of increasing his cultivation was too slow, and he would never be able to break through. Thus, the Black Soul Ancestor had no choice but to continue down that path.

For the Black Dragon King to be reborn by seizing their bodies was an impossible task. The process itself was extremely difficult and risky. It could only rely on devouring sacrifices to constantly enhance its own energy, hoping to one day be reborn!

Legend had it that upon reaching the Saint King Stage, one could reform their physical body and be reborn. For this reason, it had been cultivating desperately. Cultivating by devouring sacrifices was a truly vicious affair. Who knows how many offerings would need to be devoured to reach the Saint King Stage? It might devour until the end of time and still not break through to the Saint King Stage.

Whether it could actually reach the Saint King Stage or not, the Black Dragon King didn’t care. It could only keep struggling, no matter how many people died.

"I... I don’t need you to do that. I just need you to spare me..." the Black Dragon King begged in a low voice.

"No. You’ve killed so many people. It’s time for you to pay the price!" Yi Tianyun snorted coldly. Sensing the time was right, he squeezed his hand ruthlessly.

"AHHHH... I CURSE YOU! MAY YOU NEVER FIND PEACE IN ANY LIFE TO COME!"

With a final, bloodcurdling scream, the Black Dragon’s skull was crushed by Yi Tianyun, along with the black light within.

"Ding! Successfully killed the Black Dragon King’s soul. Obtained 100,000 Experience Value, 5,000 Madness Value. Obtained Black Dragon Soul, Black Dragon Spirit Vein Crystal!"

After the kill, he successfully obtained the Black Dragon Soul, and even an extra Black Dragon Spirit Vein Crystal.

At this moment, the Black Dragon Power in the surroundings completely vanished, and the stone walls returned to their original color. All of that had been energy extended by the Black Dragon King so that it could spread throughout the entire Treasure Dragon Stronghold, allowing it to devour others. However, it didn’t devour them all at once. Instead, it treated them like nutrients, absorbing them bit by bit rather than in one gulp. This way, it could be a slow and steady process, gradually increasing its own power.

Who knew that Yi Tianyun would drain it all dry? He had already siphoned off a large amount of Black Dragon Power from the Black Soul Ancestor, which was why it was all gone after such a short period of absorption.

’Nice, it dropped the Black Dragon Soul!’

Yi Tianyun’s eyes lit up. Finally, the Black Dragon Soul had dropped. If it hadn’t, that would have really sucked.

"RUMBLE..."

Just then, the surroundings began to tremble. Yi Tianyun’s brow twitched, and with a flash, his figure shot upward. Just as he reached the outside, the underground passage began to collapse. In the blink of an eye, the entire Treasure Dragon Stronghold caved in, as if struck by an earthquake.

"That was a close call." Yi Tianyun wiped the sweat from his brow. If he had been any slower, he would have been buried down there.

After composing himself, he took out the Black Dragon Power, the Black Dragon Spirit Vein Crystal, and the Black Dragon Remains. He gathered all three items together. As they were brought together, a "Fuse" option appeared.

He tapped "Fuse" without hesitation. The three items immediately began to merge. A moment later, a pillar of black light shot into the sky. As the black light gradually faded, what appeared before him was a Black Dragon over three meters tall! The jet-black scales covering its body, the huge wings on its back, the sharp Dragon Claws, and the massive dragon head all proved this was a real, living Black Dragon, not just a skeleton of Dragon Bones!

Black Dragon: Cultivation at the first layer of the Core Formation Stage. Its scales are as tough as low-grade Soul Artifacts and are indestructible. Its Sharp Claws are equivalent to low-grade Soul Artifact weapons and can tear through anything! Its Potential is Level Five. As its cultivation grows stronger, its body will become larger, and the flames it breathes will be hot enough to melt anything!

"So strong!"

Yi Tianyun’s eyes lit up, especially at the Level Five Potential. He knew his Snow Wolf only had Level Two Potential. ’According to the rules here, Level Ten must be the maximum Potential. But what kind of monster would have Level Ten Potential? The Black Dragon, a member of the Dragon Race, only has Level Five.’

The higher the Potential, the higher the Growth Value. Whether it was strength or speed, there would be a significant increase when its cultivation rose. It was basically a measure of talent; the stronger the talent, the more explosive the power it could unleash.

"ROAR!"

The Black Dragon roared at him, then moved closer, rubbing its enormous head against him affectionately. This Black Dragon was not the Black Dragon King from below. They had no connection whatsoever; this was a brand-new summoned pet.

"Alright, alright. From now on, you’re my pet. Stick with me, and I’ll make sure you eat and drink well!" Yi Tianyun smiled and patted its body. He then swung himself onto its back and patted it again.

The Black Dragon let out a low growl, as if to say it was more than willing.

Yi Tianyun smiled, feeling very satisfied. He had another powerful pet. As long as he raised it well, it would become a great ally. This was exactly what he needed right now; the more helpers, the better. That was how he would become stronger.

He then began to sort through the spoils of war. He had obtained quite a few Earth Level Martial Arts, but for now, he sold them all, converting them into a pile of Madness Value. He had considered fusing them, but he felt that since his North Nether Divine Technique and others had already reached the middle-grade Earth Level, there was no need to do so for now. What he had was sufficient.

After selling the Black Dragon Divine Technique and the others, he opened his attribute bar, and all his information appeared before him.

When he saw the experience needed for the next level, he sucked in a sharp breath of cold air. Eight and a half million. How long would that take to get?

"Whatever, I’ll just take it one step at a time. I need to get back. It wouldn’t be good to keep Lian waiting for too long." Yi Tianyun nodded, then sat up on the Black Dragon and said, "Fly! Let’s go back!"

The Black Dragon roared and soared into the sky. Its speed far surpassed that of the Snow Wolf. After all, flying was much better than climbing up a mountain and then down again; that was a much slower process.
