Upgrade Specialist in Another World

Explosions erupted everywhere in the sky as both Ge Yiyun and Shangguan Xiongyan fought—the two of them were equally matched!

The power Ge Yiyun had was on par with Shen Pojun when he initially fought Gu Lianhun. Bai Yunfei would’ve thought Ge Yiyun was a Soul Saint if he hadn’t seen what technique Ge Yiyun used before the battle began.

Thunderstruck, Bai Yunfei hovered at the edge of the battlefield. There was something else he had to do before he could enter the fray. A burst of energy and several handseals later...and Bai Yunfei was suddenly as strong as a Peak Late-stage Soul Emperor!

Berserk Mode!

He was already close to being a Late-stage Soul Emperor, but using Berserk Mode helped him cross that threshold by a considerable amount. It wasn’t much of a boost in comparison to the technique Ge Yiyun was using, but it was still something else.

Reaching his current state was about the limit of what Berserk Mode could do, but it was enough for Bai Yunfei. If he wanted to get any more powerful then Bai Yunfei still had the option of using the Vampiric Demon Edge, but that was an option he wanted to hold off until the very last moment.

Like in his past fight with Gu Lianhun’s avatar, Bai Yunfei was only looking to play an auxiliary role to Ge Yiyun. Fighting Shangguan Xiongyan now would only lead to his death, especially if he considered the situation. They weren’t fighting in chaotic space, so using the Law of Chaos wouldn’t be nearly as effective on Shangguan Xiongyan.

Thus, Bai Yunfei had to wait for the right opportunity for an ‘ambush’.

“Hmph!”

Shangguan Xiongyan resisted a sneer as he fought Ge Yiyun. There was no way he’d miss Bai Yunfei hiding there at the edge of the battlefield, and neither did he bother placing any major attention on him. As methodical and surprising as Bai Yunfei was, Shangguan Xiongyan just didn’t seem to see the need for him to care. How could Bai Yunfei, a Peak Late-stage Soul Emperor, serve as a threat to him, a Saint? If Bai Yunfei wanted to ambush him, then he’d give him the minimal attention he deserved while he fought Ge Yiyun.

“I expected no less from you, the headmaster of the Fate School. I admit, I’m surprised to see you able to fend off my attacks, but...let’s see how long you can last! How long can that paltry trick of yours last?!”

Shangguan Xiongyan roared with laughter as he sent yet another attack at Ge Yiyun. This time, the whirlwind of fire around him was sent toward Ge Yiyun like a giant tidal wave of fire!

He knew this battle had a time limit to it. Ge Yiyun was on a timer, and the win condition was for him to force Ge Yiyun to ‘cancel’ the technique. The best way to do that was to simply force the man to undo it himself through a constant barrage of attacks. Yes, this was the best method as compared to a battle of attrition. While simply extending the length of their battle was a sure method of winning, Shangguan Xiongyan wanted to quickly kill Ge Yiyun so he could help Gu Jimie.

On the opposing side, Ge Yiyun was trying his best to stall for time so Shen Pojun could kill Gu Jimie and provide assistance. And to do that, he was going to need Bai Yunfei’s help. It was basically a race of time to see who of which battle would win first...

......

“Boom boom boom boom boom...”

Multiple fireballs impacted the space around Ge Yiyun, tearing open rips in space and causing Bai Yunfei to shiver at the raw power of each attack. No matter how much he waited, he simply couldn’t see the right opportunity to strike at Shangguan Xiongyan.

His eyes wandered over to the other side of the field where a black cloud and another sea of flames was intertwined with one another. That was where Shen Pojun and Gu Jimie were fighting. He hadn’t any idea how Shen Pojun was doing, but the explosions and ripples of energy were more than enough to tell him that the battle was just as fierce as the one here.

“Ugh!!”

A grunt of pain from Ge Yiyun caused Bai Yunfei to whip his head back around. Startled, he watched as a beam of fire strike down onto Ge Yiyun and shatter the barrier around him. Defenseless, Ge Yiyun was blown away by the following explosion of the attack.

Shangguan Xiongyan flew straight after him, determined to seize the opportunity to kill Ge Yiyun.

Panicked, Byg immediately took action as well. This was it! This was the opportunity he was waiting for!!

If Shangguan Xiongyan was going to try and kill Ge Yiyun, then this was the opportunity for am ambush!

Blood boiling from the excitement and anxiety, Bai Yunfei called out the Cataclysmic Seal to begin his attack at once!

The Cataclysmic Seal was Bai Yunfei’s strongest weapon and the soul armament he had the most confidence in. Not even an Early-stage Soul Saint would be able to neglect the Cataclysmic Seal without consequences.

There was also another hope Bai Yunfei had—things would definitely go his way if his opponent were to use a soul armament against it...

“Bzz...”

Flying at unbelievable speeds, the Cataclysmic Seal transformed into a gigantic mountain and spearheaded its way through the storm of elemental energy to strike at Shangguan Xiongyan!

Bai Yunfei had only needed the regular mode of the Cataclysmic Seal to kill a Mid-stage Soul Emperor before. In Berserk Mode, the power of the Cataclysmic Seal was many times stronger, and Bai Yunfei knew that Shangguan Xiongyan would need to at least exhaust a considerable amount of health to deflect it.

But Bai Yunfei never would’ve expected to see what Shangguan Xiongyan would do...

Shangguan Xiongyan’s eyes lit up the moment Bai Yunfei took out the Cataclysmic Seal. Ceasing his attack on Ge Yiyun, he whirled around with wide-open eyes.

“A Regalia!!”

Shangguan Xiongyan exclaimed, he had somehow managed to ‘see’ what the Cataclysmic Seal was!

His soulforce began to hasten in its circulation around his body when he cried out. His robes billowed with hot air as a gold and red light began to shine through from underneath. Illuminating his entire person, the light expanded in size and took the form of a giant piece of armor to protect Shangguan Xiongyan inside of it!

And then the Cataclysmic Seal struck.

“Bang!!”

Expectant, Bai Yunfei watched as the energy faded away, only to see the Cataclysmic Seal...frozen in place!

It was blocked!!

The Cataclysmic Seal was a soul armament that could easily shatter high-heaven tier soul armaments! How was it stopped by that light?!

“Crack...”

Something within the gold and red light began to crack. As if unable to handle the weight of the Cataclysmic Seal, the light somehow shattered into thousands of pieces while the Cataclysmic Seal flew somewhat slowly toward Shangguan Xiongyan.

“Bang...”

It struck Shangguan Xiongyan and sent him flying, but it didn’t seem to do any substantial amount of damage to the man.

Bai Yunfei was excited to see the Cataclysmic Seal break past the light and strike Shangguan Xiongyan. It was a little surprising to see such strong resistance, but he didn’t pay it too much mind after the defense broke down. When the Cataclysmic Seal let out a bright flash of light, Bai Yunfei expected it to do something, but instead...it fizzled out and disappeared!

Like Bai Yunfei, Shangguan Xiongyan was equally dumbfounded by what had happened.

Bai Yunfei knew it was the effect of a soul armament that stopped the Cataclysmic Seal. Knowing that, he activated the +14 additional effect so he could attempt to steal and absorb whatever armor Shangguan Xiongyan wore. However...it failed!!

Then he sensed a peculiar wave of energy that immediately caused his mind to come to a standstill...

At the same time as he was processing his emotions, the voice of Sealer began to speak:

“Triumphant Flame!! Yunfei! That’s the Regalia, the ‘Triumphant Flame’!!”
