Chapter 1332: The Demonic Blade 'Bloodbath'!
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“Wha!?”
The Cataclysmic Seal came out from its space ring at once. There was a flash of orange light before it covered Bai Yunfei in an orange barrier practically moments before the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst erupted. The blood-red beam of light that came from the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord impacted against the barrier and dissipated.
A single blade from the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was enough to easily break apart Bai Yunfei’s Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst!
By the time Bai Yunfei was able to recover his wits, he saw a smaller beam of light fly upward. It wasn’t aimed at him but toward something in the sky!
“Squeak!!!”
There was a high-pitched scream as the beam cut through a hazy ball of prismatic light. Horrified, Bai Yunfei watched as enough light dissipated to show the squirrel-formed Interdimensional Phantasm lose form!
Not only was one beam able to defeat the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst, but a second beam was able to prevent the Interdimensional Phantasm from taking action!
Stunned, Bai Yunfei hurriedly withdrew the Interdimensional Phantasm back into the Core World and began to re-evaluate his plans. A more subtle approach would be needed here…
The Cataclysmic Seal and the Fire-tipped Spear floated protectively around Bai Yunfei as he went through a series of handseals.
Moments later and Bai Yunfei’s aura began to spike! He was going into ‘Coil’ Form and ‘Berserk’ Mode!!
He had no other choice but to go all out at once. As a Saint, the powerboost wouldn’t be enough for him to reach the level of a Mid-stage Soul Saint, but it was at the very least better than nothing.
Having that much of a boost in strength was already incredible. Even the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was surprised by the sudden difference.
He didn’t move to stop Bai Yunfei. Instead, he stared with curious interest at him, “Such a great spike of power! This must be the Dual Flame Artes of the Crafting School, what a surprise! Kekeke, very good!!”
The avaricious gleam in the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord intensified. Bai Yunfei was an even greater catch than he initially expected. A blood-red longsword appeared in his hand to grab before a wave of intimidating soulforce flooded out from him. It almost felt as though an ocean of blood was pouring out to drown them all underneath its pressure.
“A Mid-stage Soul Saint!!!”
Bai Yunfei paled as soon as he ascertained the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord’s power level. Bai Yunfei was at the very least thankful that he wasn’t a Late-stage Soul Saint, the battle would well and truly be a loss in that case…
Winning against a Mid-stage Soul Saint wouldn’t be easy either. Eyeing the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord, Bai Yunfei noted that the man was quite different than Gu Lianhun. In that fight, Bai Yunfei was fortunate enough to have a well-thought out plan and two other Saints to help him guarantee a victory. In this battle, Bai Yunfei was up against a healthy Mid-stage Soul Saint by himself. What did that mean for his chances?
And there was still something else to consider…
“A demon armament!! One that’s on par with a Regalia!!”
Bai Yunfei’s eyes landed on the blood-red sword the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord wielded.
From the legend he was told, Bai Yunfei recalled that the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was known to have an extremely powerful demon armament. High-heaven tier armor were said to be like paper in front of its edge, and it was actually because of this demon armament that the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord gained his name and infamy…
The demon armament looked even creepier up close. Not even its design looked like a regular weapon. Markings that resembled blood arteries traveled up and down the surface of the blade and there were several white glowing points running down the edge of the blade like teeth. There was one part of the blade that had a near-circle missing from its edge and a sparkling-red gemstone was attached near the hilt of the blade as if it was an eye…
It was a design far more shocking to the eye than the Vampiric Demon Edge. Bai Yunfei never even saw such a weapon like this before.
This was the demon armament the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord used to rise to power; the demonic blade ‘Bloodbath’!!
Bai Yunfei always wondered how strong the demon armament was. He just never thought such an opportunity would present itself. And it was shocking to see that it was able to easily cut apart the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst! The demon armament was without a doubt at least a mid-divine tier!
The sinking feeling in Bai Yunfei’s chest grew even more pronounced once he came to that realization…
“Let me see…just how strong you are compared to the legends!”
The two peered at one another, curious about how strong exactly their foe would be. Letting out a cackle, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord raised his sword hand and slashed down!
It wasn’t a soul skill or anything but a simple sword stroke. The resulting blade of energy that flew out from it, however, was much stronger than the one that cut apart the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst!
All of a sudden Bai Yunfei found it hard to move. The pressure from the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord had abruptly locked him into place! Dodging this attack would be impossible even if he managed to break free. Gritting his teeth, Bai Yunfei forced his right hand up and waved it!
“Bzz…”
The Cataclysmic Seal hummed as if pleased to be called. A bright ball of red light exploded from within it as it flew toward the incoming attack. Expanding in size as it traveled, the Cataclysmic Seal eventually became the size of a giant mountain to squash the blade of energy!
“Boom!!!”
A muffled explosion detonated in the air when the Cataclysmic Seal smashed into it. The mountainous object came to a grinding halt for a brief moment before continuing its initial trajectory—it managed to break past the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord’s attack!
Rather than being displeased, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord began to laugh once he saw his attack fail. “A Regalia!! One outside of the ten! Haha!! Excellent!”
The way the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord smiled and laughed as if the Cataclysmic Seal was already one of his soul armaments made Bai Yunfei annoyed. Eyes flashing dangerously, he began to feed more soulforce into the Cataclysmic Seal so it could begin its flight toward the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord!
But this ‘retaliation’ seemed to mean little to the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord. He sneered at the attempt before instantaneously moving far away from it. The attack of the Cataclysmic Seal was a little stronger than he expected, but all that attack was worthless if it didn’t manage to hit its target in the end.
“Oh?”
But then the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord narrowed his eyes when something didn’t go as expected. Instead of the Cataclysmic Seal sailing away and back to Bai Yunfei, it shrunk in size and abruptly turned direction to fly toward him again!
As surprising as it was to see such movement, it wasn’t nearly enough to catch the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord off-guard. He prepared his soulforce yet again in an attempt to move away, but then…
“Freeze!!”
A cold voice suddenly exploded in his ears and caused him to stop for just a moment!
The Soul Anchor Technique!!
The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was stunned. What in the world was this soul skill and how was Bai Yunfei able to put so much power behind it to affect even him!? It wasn’t so powerful to stop him from moving for long, but dodging the Cataclysmic Seal would be a dangerous course of action now. The only thing left to do was to block it with his sword. Clenching it, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord slashed out with it!
“Clang…!”
A sharp ear-piercing crack escaped from between the two objects when struck. Showers of sparks flew everywhere and a shockwave rippled across the sky in a clash between the sword and the seal.
The sword had managed to stop the Cataclysmic Seal!!
Rather than looking unhappy, Bai Yunfei’s eyes lit up with a brilliant gleam!
The aim of the Cataclysmic Seal wasn’t meant to inflict harm onto the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord, it was meant to activate the +14 additional effect!!
“Bzzz…”
Red light escaped from the Cataclysmic Seal and showered the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord within it, prompting the man to raise a ward of soulforce to protect himself. He was curious to see that this red light wasn’t doing anything against him, but then he felt a strange sensation from his sword as if it was being pulled away from him!
But only for a moment. The pulling sensation abated after a second as if it never existed. The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord felt his sword-arm go numb for just a brief moment before managing to push the Cataclysmic Seal back!
In one sword strike, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord managed to parry the Cataclysmic Seal! And not only that…the +14 additional effect of the Cataclysmic Seal failed to work!
The attack wasn’t a complete failure, however. Even after he managed to repel the Cataclysmic Seal, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord noted with some alarm that the force behind it was still enough to send him flying backward!!
The strange thing about the force was how it wasn’t entirely the concussive power of the Cataclysmic Seal. There was a strange energy contained in that attack that just seemed to send him flying without any real power behind it!
This was the equipment effect of the Cataclysmic Seal: Hurl!
50% Chance to hurl the target.
Effects cannot be stacked. Cooldown of 5 seconds.
That wasn’t the only effect that was activated either. A tendril of fire materialized out of thin air to wrap around his sword-arm and the rest of his body!
+10 Additional Effect: 30% Chance to activate ‘Constricting Flames’. Decrease mobility by 30% for up to 10 seconds.Cooldown of 1 minute.
The +14 additional effect might’ve failed, but the Hurl effect and the Constricting Flames didn’t. The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord wasn’t even able to upright himself as he flew backward with roughly twenty to thirty percent of his mobility weakened!
“What power is this!!”
Having never seen such a phenomena before, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord took a moment to think before he remembered what Shangguan Xiongyan said. On their way here, he did recall Shangguan Xiongyan saying that Bai Yunfei had ‘soul armaments that had freakishly strange abilities’, but he never thought too hard about it until now.
That being said, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord wasn’t that badly hurt or anything. Being hurled just meant a change in physical location and could easily be rectified later. The Constricting Flames would last only for ten seconds at most, but a Mid-stage Soul Saint like him could easily break out of it after three.
And so the shock lasted only for a moment. Shaking his head, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord glared at Bai Yunfei only to realize the Cataclysmic Seal was coming crashing down on him again!
