Upgrade Specialist in Another World

“Almost...we’re going be gone from this place!”

He was definitely panicked. Ever since the battle began, he had been retreating down from the Ninth Heavens to reach the safety of the world below. Only there would he be able to fight to his fullest ability, but Bai Yunfei was making it very difficult to reach the place. The difference in strength between both persons was easily discernible by now, but already Yue Kuangfeng could feel himself closer to a source of elemental energy.

“Ah!! Die!!”

Forming one hand seal, Yue Kuangfeng let out a loud cry before having a giant twister form from his energy to fly up toward Bai Yunfei!

“Crack!!”

Several sharp blades of chaotic energy struck against Yue Kuangfeng’s barrier at the same time as the cracking sounds....

In his haste to defend himself, Yue Kuangfeng neglected the Windcloaked Pagoda and split it into pieces!

He didn’t care about it anymore! He could only think about his one hope to kill Bai Yunfei!

“What a shame...”

The giant Cataclysmic Seal came forth from the heavens to strike down the twister. Bai Yunfei let out a sigh when he saw the Windcloaked Pagoda be destroyed, but it couldn’t be helped. It was time to land the killing blow!

“It’s now!!”

As Yue Kuangfeng continued to fall, Bai Yunfei threw out a black streak of light!

The flying dagger...Voidsplitter!!

......

Yue Kuangfeng could feel the chaotic energy weaken, now was the time! He could finally be safe from the chaos and fight with his strength!

Elemental wind swirled around Yue Kuangfeng’s person and into his body. It happened in a flash, but Yue Kuangfeng was getting a second lease on life.

He remained wary even as he felt his power come back to him. He saw Bai Yunfei throw something earlier like a dagger at him!

It had to be a soul armament, obviously. Yue Kuangfeng couldn’t ignore this. Replenishing a lot more of his soulforce and energy, Yue Kuangfeng then leaped to the side to avoid the soul armament.

“Eh?!”

But then in the next second, he watched in shock as the soul armament...disappeared!

The next thing he realized was the stench of death coming at him from the leflt!

“Ahh!!!”

In a last ditch effort to save himself, Yue Kuangfeng’s body told itself to step back!

“Whoosh!”

Not even a half-second later, Yue Kuangfeng watched as a black streak of light graze past him!

He realized the soul armament had to do with spatial energy from when it approached him. It was a perfection reaction that saw to the dagger just barely slicing into his left shoulder!

A cold shiver ran up his spine at once. He thought he was saved for a second, but then the sensation he was feeling as a dark light began to emanate from his shoulder...

“Bzz...”

He felt the spatial energy within the area feel like it suddenly exploded. The next thing he knew, he saw a good portion of his shoulder gone!

“Ahh!!!”

A terrified howl escaped Yue Kuangfeng’s lips. The pain in his left shoulder was immense! Leaping to the right at once, the man inspected his shoulder just to find...a hole spanning a good area of his shoulder!

Not even parts of his bones were spared. Only a layer of flesh was keeping Yue Kuangfeng’s arm from separating from its shoulder!

Bai Yunfei had waited until now to use the Voidsplitter. The +12 effect wouldn’t be enough to kill the Mid-stage Soul Emperor, but it’d definitely be able to cripple an arm or leg!

The howls of Yue Kuangfeng caught Bai Yunfei’s attention. Finishing off the last handseals, Bai Yunfei began to explode with power!

Dual Flame Artes: ‘Coil’ Form and...Berserk Mode!

The advantage Bai Yunfei had was now gone. It was time for him to re-engage with his normal methods. As it was now, Bai Yunfei was definitely able to continue fighting against a weakened Mid-stage Soul Emperor!

And then without pause, Bai Yunfei began to form another set of handseals!

“Bang!!”

A brilliant fireball appeared in the skies before it split into two and transformed into dragons!

The dragons spun around one another in a helix almost to rain down from the heavens and directly onto Yue Kuangfeng!

The Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst!!

............

......

Back down below, above the Water School.

Minutes had passed in this intense battle by now. Both sides could agree to it being a hard fight. The newly arrived Soul Kings from the Crafting School were doing a good job fighting the other Soul Kings. Both sides weren’t exactly equal, but that didn’t mean the crafters were down and out just yet. Thanks to Bai Yunfei’s help, all their weapons and armors had been upgraded to +11 or so. This led to the crafters being able to perform even better. In this regard, the Crafting School had a great advantage over their enemies.

A brilliant multicolored light surrounded the landscape for a moment and caught the attention of both sides.

They couldn’t sense what was going on in the Phantasm, and neither could they sense the battle taking place above them. They all simply assumed Bai Yunfei, Xiao Binzi, and Xiao Qi were all fighting within the Phantasm, though members of the Wind Lightning School would occasionally sneak a glance upward as if waiting for something.

Everyone knew their only chance for victory was dependent on Bai Yunfei. Both sides could only hope that the winner would come back down and help them achieve total victory.

The Wind Lightning School were all confident that they would win. They were all aware of Yue Kuangfeng’s plan and its success. They knew Bai Yunfei was currently battling up high in the Ninth Heaven. Victory was close for their side!

“Rumble...rumble!!”

At that moment, everyone felt a crash of lightning resonate with their bodies as the clouds up high began to darken like ink!

“Is that...chaotic energy?!”

Murong Xiao exclaimed. High above the clouds, he could sense an ‘abnormal’ amount of chaotic energy!

The fighters of the Water School were suspicious, but those from the Wind Lightning School smiled!

“Whoosh!!”

The first thing to emerge from the inky clouds was a bolt of green lightning!

“Yue Kuangfeng! But how?!”

Murong Xiao then exclaimed in shock!

“Master Yue!!”

People from the Wind Lightning School began to cry out. But then the smiles began to freeze up on their faces...

They had been initially excited to see Yue Kuangfeng emerge from the Ninth Heaven. They were heavily anticipated Bai Yunfei’s corpse to drop next. But when they looked closely at Yue Kuangfeng...

They could see a frightening sight—Yue Kuangfeng was desperately running away!

“Roar!!”

The next thing to emerge were two gigantic dragons made out of fire! They were chasing after Yue Kuangfeng!

Like lightning, Yue Kuangfeng tried his best to run away, but the two dragons were even faster than he was!

“Ahh!!”

The dragons were upon him now. The jaws of the dragons snapped down and...swallowed him whole!
