Faced with what felt like a bottomless black hole with teeth, Bai Yunfei had no doubts that being caught in those sharp fangs would mean certain death!

So he changed his target from Lin Xiangtian to the bull! Kicking with his feet, Bai Yunfei exploded upward with great speed!

“Bang!!”

It was by inches that Bai Yunfei managed to escape being devoured by the bull. Before he could relax, however, Bai Yunfei realized the bull was springing up to bite him again!

“Again!?”

Glancing at the Cataclysmic Seal gave Bai Yunfei an idea. What if...he expanded the Cataclysmic Seal when the bull tried to eat them? Wouldn’t the bull die of suffocation or something then?

“Whoosh!!”

He didn’t have any time to put his theory to the test, however. Instead of biting them as he thought, the bull instead fired off a large ball of elemental energy!

It was trying to blow them apart rather than devour them!

That made things difficult for Bai Yunfei. Dodging the blast was possible, if a little difficult, but it would mean giving up a prime opportunity to kill Lin Xiangtian and put himself back in danger...

So that meant he’d have to use the +10 additional effect of his armor!

“Bzzz...”

A black whirlpool came to life in front of Bai Yunfei!

“Boom!!”

And that was when the giant ball of golden light was fired out from the bull!

They weren’t even fifty meters away from one another when the Law of Metal exploded out from the bull’s mouth and disappeared into the black vortex!

That wasn’t supposed to happen! Bai Yunfei wasn’t supposed to escape from this attack unscratched! This situation was so vexing that Lin Xiangtian felt like puking blood!

Why did Bai Yunfei have so many techniques for escaping from danger?!

A curse nearly escaped from Lin Xiangtian’s mouth. Every single action Bai Yunfei did from start to finish was completely without ‘common sense’! All of the experience Lin Xiangtian had from his battles weren’t even worth anything! He couldn’t even possibly fathom what Bai Yunfei might do in reaction to his attacks, and neither could he properly plan what to do next!

The bull’s attack was gone in the blink of an eye. Whilst its body was beginning to regenerate its lost soulforce, the golden ball of light it fired out moments before was already fully gone from sight within the whirlpool.

Standing aloof up in the air, Bai Yunfei was giving the impression of being rather carefree about the situation. But that wasn’t the case, really. Another half of his soulforce was gone!

His soulforce was actually so low that he had to use Soul Ignition in order to replenish his reserves. Then he used multiple Soul Anchor Techniques and then the +13 additional effect of the Fire-tipped Spear. Those meant him losing half of his newly-replenished soulforce. Then the bull forced him to use the black whirlpool and lose yet another half of that half!

“Damn!”

He felt haggard. His only solution now was to hopefully try and finish up this battle as soon as possible!

Meaning...it was time!

Hands clapping together, Bai Yunfei began to go through a rapid flurry of handseals!

And then a brilliant amount of energy exploded out from his person!

He was using Soul Ignition again!

“What?!”

Lin Xiangtian wasn’t faring much better than Bai Yunfei. His reserves were already larger than Bai Yunfei, but even he was still below half of his reserves. The eight-tailed bull wasn’t doing any better either. He assumed Bai Yunfei would’ve fallen due to soulforce depletion a long time ago, but the crafter was still moving about as energetically as ever!

Was this just a bluff? His final bluff?!

The biggest puzzle Lin Xiangtian had yet to figure out was how Bai Yunfei was still moving about so carefreely in the Phantasm! Being in this world should’ve suppressed his strength! It should’ve provided Lin Xiangtian a great advantage!

The Phantasm was a place where Bai Yunfei wouldn’t be able to freely manipulate energy. At best, Bai Yunfei would have to rely on the energy provided by his essence fireseed. Thanks to the +12 area effects of the Core Stone and Soul Sealing Mandate, Bai Yunfei was able to fight normally as if he was in the outside world. The Soul Sealing Mandate had the ability to inhibit the enemies in any case, so the ‘advantage’ Lin Xiangtian had was more or less extinguished.

Now back with more soulforce than ever, Bai Yunfei decided to try for a second attempt of throwing out the Soul Sealing Mandate!

Lin Xiangtian blanched. He knew more than anyone else here how terrifying Regalias could be. Subconsciously moving back, he ordered the bull to charge forward with its tails swirling together.

“Not good!!’

Then suddenly...Lin Xiangtian realized his mistake! Bai Yunfei wasn’t throwing the Soul Sealing Mandate at himself, but at the eight-tailed bull!

He miscalculated! Because of his fear of the Soul Sealing Mandate and the potentiality of him being sealed, Lin Xiangtian didn’t realize what Bai Yunfei was doing until it was too late!

A single misstep and everything was starting to fall apart!

“Seal!!!”

Bai Yunfei barked the moment when the Soul Sealing Mandate was right above the bull’s head!

A white ball of light exploded out from Soul Sealing Mandate as its effect activated and covered the entirety of the bull’s upper half in it!

“Ah!!!”

Lin Xiangtian was about to bark out something of his own, he was about to command the bull to move out of the way, but at that second...

“Freeze!!”

As if to add to his already fearsome attack, Bai Yunfei activated the Soul Anchor Technique to stop Lin Xiangtian!

On the other side, a loud cry could be heard as Xiao Qi and the galewing lion attacked with a soul attack!

Panic flickered across Lin Xiangtian before the light in them went dull!

His body was still moving backward and was just barely beyond the range of the Soul Sealing Mandate’s light. But one second later...he realized his connection with the eight-tailed bull was severed!

The bull was sealed!

Bai Yunfei was ecstatic at his success! The bull was no longer a problem he’d have to deal with! But now wasn’t the time to be celebrating, there was still one more problem he had to solve!

It was time for him to charge for Lin Xiangtian again!

Now that the biggest ‘crutch’ the enemy had was gone, Bai Yunfei just needed to make his approach and finish things once in for all!

“Ah!!!”

Completely overwhelmed now, Lin Xiangtian let out a scream of terror and flew backward while summoning another soulbeast puppet to him!

“Mrooo!!”

A flash of orange light appeared in the world as a large boar charged out from it toward Bai Yunfei!

The orange light covering its body hardened so that its flesh became as durable as steel. Every strand of hair stood out and straight with the hardness to pierce anything!

This amount of power...it was an early-stage class eight soulbeast!

Lin Xiangtian had yet another class early-stage eight soulbeast puppet!

But a soulbeast puppet of that kind of level...wasn’t strong enough for Bai Yunfei to fear!

“Boom!!!”

There was a loud explosive sound as Bai Yunfei punched at the boar with his left hand!

With both of the Critical Glove’s effects activating, Bai Yunfei’s punch was strong enough to absolutely shred through any defense the boar and slam through onto its head!

Both boar and person came still for a split-second. Then...the boar went soaring in the opposite direction like a cannonball!

Lin Xiangtian’s face dropped another shade of color when he saw his soulbeast puppet fly away. He watched it sail behind his head before realizing Bai Yunfei was already closing the distance onto him!

Bai Yunfei was now within range to use his Fire-tipped Spear to stab at his eyes!
