My Crazy Upgrade System

"Ding! You have successfully killed a Giant Walrus and obtained..."

Yi Tianyun and the Black Dragon continued their frenzied slaughter. If the Snow Wolf had been here, their killing spree would have been even more astonishing. However, he had left it behind in the Celestial Sinking Ruins for its own protection and hadn’t brought it along. Still, their current pace was anything but slow. Like grim reapers, they were feverishly harvesting the lives of the surrounding Demon Beasts.

After killing each wave of Demon Beasts, he would immediately use his Storage Ring to collect their corpses. He planned to take them back and sell them to the Star Pavilion.

Amidst their frenzied slaughter, Yi Tianyun finally leveled up again.

"Ding! Congratulations to Player ’Yi Tianyun’ for successfully breaking through to the First Level of the Spirit Pill Stage!"

The moment he broke through, Yi Tianyun felt his power soar. While his peak Combat Power before was only 390,000, his cultivation breakthrough instantly sent it rocketing to 500,000!

A full 500,000 Combat Power—110,000 higher than before. Of course, this wasn’t just due to his cultivation breakthrough. He had also previously upgraded his Dragon God Bloodline. With his Third Grade Dragon God Bloodline, the Dragon Scales on his body were now tougher and more formidable.

Combined with the fourfold Damage Stack, his Combat Power naturally reached 500,000—a truly terrifying figure!

SWOOSH!

Yi Tianyun swung his axe again, instantly reaping a whole swath of Demon Beasts. Slaying them was far easier than before; it was as if they were made of paper, tearing apart with the slightest touch!

’So this is the Spirit Pill Stage? It’s incredible! Sure enough, raising my cultivation level is the true key to boosting my power!’

Yi Tianyun had always known that only by increasing his base attributes could he achieve a stronger burst of power under his fourfold damage multiplier. Of course, even without Madness Mode, breaking through to the Spirit Pill Stage was still an astonishing leap in power. The gulf between the two realms was immense.

As his aura flared with his newfound power, it grew even more intense. Yet, the surrounding Demon Beasts seemed to have gone mad, continuing to charge him without a shred of fear.

’That’s strange. These Demon Beasts can’t be scared off at all. Have they lost their minds?’ After fighting for a long time, Yi Tianyun clearly sensed something was off about them. Their eyes were vacant, as if they were being controlled by something.

They seemed possessed. On Demon Cloud Island, these beasts would normally keep to their own territories, attacking any intruder on sight. The fact that they were all gathered together was already peculiar, but their current behavior was even stranger.

Normally, when he unleashed such immense power, the Demon Beasts—despite their low intelligence—would at least understand fear and recognize a superior foe. He was now overwhelmingly stronger than them, yet they didn’t retreat. Instead, they only grew more ferocious.

’Whatever. The more, the better. I’ll take on all comers!’

Yi Tianyun decided to ignore the underlying problem. All that mattered now was to continue his slaughter and keep racking up Experience Value; the rest was irrelevant. He threw himself back into the massacre, but the Demon Beasts here seemed endless, constantly crawling out of the sea to besiege him.

After an hour of killing, his Tenfold Experience Card and Madness Value Card expired. He immediately bought more from the system’s shop and continued his frenzied slaughter. Experience Value kept pouring in. The Black Dragon’s level had already surged to the Seventh Level of the Core Formation Stage, yet Yi Tianyun himself still hadn’t gained a single level.

He had to admit, the experience required at higher levels was astronomical. Even with an over tenfold experience multiplier, he still had to kill a massive number of Demon Beasts just to meet the requirement to level up.

"Ding! Congratulations to Player ’Yi Tianyun’ for successfully breaking through to the Second Level of the Spirit Pill Stage!"

Finally, after nearly two hours of killing, he advanced to the Second Level of the Spirit Pill Stage. It had been an arduous process. Compared to anyone else, however, his speed was simply outrageous. Who else could break through an entire level in a mere two hours?

He lost track of how long he’d been fighting. The surrounding Demon Beasts were becoming fewer and fewer, no longer as numerous as before. It seemed they weren’t endlessly spawning after all; their numbers could be depleted.

However, just as he was about to finish them all off, that delightful sound rang out once more.

"Ding! Congratulations to Player ’Yi Tianyun’ for successfully breaking through to the Third Level of the Spirit Pill Stage!"

He hadn’t expected to gain another level right at the end. The Demon Beasts were nearly all gone, with only a few stragglers remaining—five or six at most. He quickly dispatched them. Soon, the entire Demon Cloud Island fell silent and empty. Not a single Demon Beast remained, save for the Black Dragon, which was now noticeably larger than before. Every other beast had been eliminated.

All that remained was the blood-soaked ground, and the thick, coppery stench of blood enveloped the entire island.

RUMBLE!

As if in response to the stench of blood, thunder began to roll across the sky. No lightning struck, but a torrential downpour began instead. SPLASH! Rain fell in sheets, washing away the blood from the ground. Soon, the stains were gone. Much of the blood flowed into the ocean, where it was quickly diluted and washed away by the waves.

"Haaaah..."

Yi Tianyun let the rain wash over him, feeling utterly refreshed. After fighting for so long, his arms had gone numb, and he had consumed a considerable amount of Spiritual Power. But that was no issue. Compared to the experience he had gained, it was all worth it.

’Still, the results are far less than I’d hoped,’ he thought. ’To only reach the Third Level of the Spirit Pill Stage... the pace is still too slow.’

’Are there no more Demon Beasts to kill...?’ Yi Tianyun glanced around. There were no beasts left. It was as if tranquility had been restored to the island.

With that, he opened his attribute bar to check his current status.

His inventory was now filled with piles of new materials, but no weapons. These Demon Beasts only dropped materials, nothing particularly valuable. Even though they weren’t low-level, their drops were still quite common.

However, when Yi Tianyun saw that he needed a staggering thirteen and a half million experience just to level up again, he couldn’t help but gasp. ’This is insane! No wonder it’s so hard to level up later. The requirements are in the tens of millions! How is anyone supposed to do that?’
