Chapter 1146: The Battle Within the Phantasm
A countermove like that wasn’t within Lin Xiangtian’s expectations. As the stronger one, he didn’t expect his opponent to be able to actually counter his own attack. He recovered quickly and had the bull beneath him expel another ball of light to neutralize the first!
And it was a much faster reaction time than when the Golden-eyed Ape King was faced with the same exact thing!
“Boom!!!”
The explosion brought forth by the two balls of elemental metal colliding with one another created an ear-deafening explosion. Energy rippled across the world with such devastating force that rifts began to tear open in space before quickly closing back together as if forcibly being stitched together by something.
That something was the Interdimensional Phantasm. It was controlling the world so that the rifts would close up without destabilizing the place.
“Mooo!!!!”
Rearing its legs up, the bull let out another angry moo before charging straight for Bai Yunfei!
Behind it, the tails of the bull spun close together before reaching out to catch Bai Yunfei as if it was a net!
“Tch!!”
Bai Yunfei clicked his tongue. While he knew his counter wouldn’t be effective, he didn’t expect for it to be shrugged off so easily either. It disappointed him in a way. There was no way he’d be able to go head to head with a charging mid-stage class eight soulbeast, so it was time for him to retreat a bit.
“Roar!!!”
An angry roar from the right had Lin Xiangtian turn his head. The galewing lion was coming back at him with renewed vigor!
“Chirp!!”
Xiao Qi was simultaneously sending multiple spatial edges in a net formation toward Lin Xiangtian!
“A spatial tear!”
While he wasn’t surprised to see the gust of wind from the lion, the spatial edges from Xiao Qi was definitely a surprising thing. Commanding the bull, Lin Xiangtian had it use its tails to attack!
“Boom boom boom…”
The gusts of wind from the galewing lion were blown apart after the tails slammed into them. The power of an early-stage class eight soulbeast was no match for a mid-stage class eight soulbeast.
While that was within Bai Yunfei’s expectations, the next thing Lin Xiangtian did was not…
The tails of the bull didn’t stop after destroying the galewing lion’s attack. It continued to move and surrounded the spatial edges!
“Swish swish swish…”
Multiple streaks of golden light began to form. From one to two and two to four, the streaks of light quickly multiplied before pelting the spatial edges with their renewed numbers!
“Bang bang bang bang bang…”
Rather than be absorbed by the spatial edges, the golden streaks of light actually scattered them apart!
Lin Xiangtian was using the Law of Metal in his attacks!!
By having a mid-stage class eight soulbeast use the Law of Metal, Lin Xiangtian was able to perfectly destroy Xiao Qi’s attack!
It was an amazing feat. As a mid-stage class eight soulbeast, Xiao Qi was fully capable of using the Laws of Wind, Lightning, Fire, and Wood. The spatial edges was the result of a skill of his rather than from the Law of Space, so the spatial edges weren’t super powerful. Still, the level of expertise Xiao Qi had with the spatial edges was definitely at a level that couldn’t be ignored even by users of the laws. And yet, here they were right now.
The galewing lion and Xiao Qi’s attack had failed and the bull was still charging at them. But while they failed to stop the soulbeast, they did manage to succeed in buying Bai Yunfei enough time to finish his handseals and power up!
It was time for the Dual Flame Artes, specifically the ‘Coil’ Form and ‘Berserk’ Mode!
Bai Yunfei had little to hesitate about now that he was almost as strong as a Mid-stage Soul Emperor!
Before, ‘Berserk’ Mode used to be capable of elevating Bai Yunfei up a stage in strength. The boost in strength was no longer as substantial now that he was a Soul Emperor and thus required him to use both ‘Coil’ and ‘Berserk’ to achieve a substantial boost. But despite that, the Dual Flame Artes weren’t so miraculous that they could help Bai Yunfei go up a stage in strength. This was especially true since he had only just become a Soul Emperor.
In his current form, Bai Yunfei was far stronger than any regular Early-stage Soul Emperor, but also not quite there at the level of a Mid-stage Soul Emperor!
Still, this was a shockingly substantial growth!
Lin Xiangtian wasn’t a stranger to Bai Yunfei’s tactics. But not even his foreknowledge was enough to stop him from turning blue at Bai Yunfei’s sudden increase in strength.
“Hah!!”
Now that he was in his ‘Berserk’ Mode, it was time for Bai Yunfei to do another technique!
It happened nearly the moment after Xiao Qi’s spatial edges were destroyed. The flames surrounding Bai Yunfei swelled up in size before coiling around his arms!
“Roarr!!!”
The flames took on the form of a mighty dragon. Expelling a loud roar, the two dragons flew forth from Bai Yunfei’s arms to snap at Lin Xiangtian!
A flash of violet light could be seen in the dragons along with several gray specks of light.
The Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst!!
“This move again!”
The memories of his medium suffering from this technique began to resurface in Lin Xiangtian’s mind. Those memory fragments were screaming at him of the power of this technique. It couldn’t be underestimated!
Knowing this, Lin Xiangtian began to go through several handseals to protect himself. The golden light around him quickly started to gather over his head before manifesting in the form of a giant golden asura. In one of its hands was a single weapon in which it used to swing at the two dragons!
“Boom!!”
The two manifestations of energy collided with one another for a world-shaking explosion!
Contained within the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst were the Laws of Fire and Lightning. A bit of the Law of Truth and chaotic energy were also present in the dragons and boosted its strength by a decent amount. No Early-stage Soul Emperor would be able to defend against this, but his opponent wasn’t an Early-stage Soul Emperor. He was a Mid-stage Soul Emperor. And though Lin Xiangtian was only using the Law of Metal, the way he wielded it made him even more menacing!
Neither side seemed to be inferior to the other!
Both the dragons and the asura disappeared—it was a draw!
“Boom boom boom boom…”
Once again, the world within the Interdimensional Phantasm began to show signs of unstability. The two glared at one another and watched carefully as the elemental energy crashed into one another like ripples of water.
“Swish!!”
From the sea of flames on Bai Yunfei’s side, a golden beam of light shot out to strike at Bai Yunfei like a thrown spear!
Somehow, Lin Xiangtian managed to have the eight-tailed golden bull attack Bai Yunfei while he dealt with the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst himself!
“Damn!”
Bai Yunfei cursed to himself. Weakened by his usage of the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst, Bai Yunfei was in no shape to dodge the bull’s attack. He only gave himself a split-second to curse before pushing his right hand out!
“Bz….”
A crimson streak of light flew out from near his person before transforming into a giant mountain to protect him!
It was the Cataclysmic Seal! Tremendous in size and ready to crush any enemy underneath!
“Boom boom boom…”
There was a mighty crash as the bull slammed into the Cataclysmic Seal and was abruptly stopped. By while the Cataclysmic Seal managed to stop the bull from moving forward, the brick itself was unable to continue advancing either!
And there was something else about the collision that had the scowl on Bai Yunfei’s face deepen even more!
The defense of his soul armament depended on the amount of soulforce he gave it. Bai Yunfei lost about twenty percent of his soulforce after blocking this attack!
Having the Cataclysmic Seal remain this size for even a second longer meant losing even more soulforce. Forced to call the brick back, Bai Yunfei shrunk the Cataclysmic Seal and willed it to come back to him.
It was flying back toward him when Bai Yunfei realized there was a second streak of light accompanying it!
A golden streak of light was accompanying the Cataclysmic Seal back toward Bai Yunfei!
And the speed it traveled at was faster than Bai Yunfei could even react to. It was too late to dodge it now—it was right in front of his eyes now!
