Upgrade Specialist in Another World

Inside the Core World.

“Bai Yunfei’s running out of fire-type primal stones! Does anyone have anymore? Do Bai Yunfei a favor and bring them all out!!”

Xiao Fang’s voice boomed across the Core World for every single person of importance to hear. Multiple people began to fly into the sky above Yao City. Tang Xinyun, Long Lan, Wu Dijian, Dan Teng, You Qingfeng, and the alchemists of the Yao clan…they littered the skies with their numbers to stare at a projection of Bai Yunfei!

Xiao Fang made it possible for the inhabitants of the Core World to see what Bai Yunfei was doing. And right now, they could see that he was currently trying to absorb as much energy ash e could from the primal stones! The seriousness of Xiao Fang’s voice was more than enough for everyone to understand the gravity of the situation. All at once, everyone began to take out the fire-type primal stones they had!

This was a situation no one expected to happen. Everyone knew that a lot of energy was needed to become a Soul Emperor, but no one expected Bai Yunfei to struggle on that aspect. He wasn’t really lacking on primal stones and the such after all those victories. Everyone expected him to have more than enough sources of elemental fire, but they were wrong. He needed more!

Luckily he still had hem as his back-up! Each one of these people standing there in the sky had a large number of primal stones on their own, especially the alchemists due to fire being their primary element!

Each fire-type primal stone they had were taken out form their space rings and floated up into the air like small meteorites.

“Swish!!”

Right after the last of Bai Yunfei’s own reserves ran out, Xiao Fang dumped the primal stones everyone had out of the Core World and into the pocket dimension. There was enough of those primal stones to fill far more room than Bai Yunfei initially filled!

Bai Yunfei allowed himself to relax for just a bit. He knew where this latest salvo of primal stones came from due to Xiao Fang.

He went at them without hesitation. Crushing every single primal stone, he began to feast on the energy held within them!

Thankfully, those primal stones were more than enough to allow Bai Yunfei to reach a new level of energy!

The elemental fire within his body was being absorbed at a tremendous rate. It wasn’t until every last bit of energy around his person was taken in when the world grew silent.

Then, two seconds later…

“Booom!!!”

A wave of fire exploded out from Bai Yunfei’s body like a bomb strong enough to affect even the Ninth Heaven!

It felt like all the energy Bai Yunfei absorbed from the primal stones were fueling that explosion to fill the world with a pillar of fire! It spilled out in droves and transformed into a titan of fire above Bai Yunfei!

The manifestation of an entity from any type of energy was generally a symbol meaning one had successfully become a Soul Emperor, but the titan of fire above Bai Yunfei wasn’t exactly yet at that level. It was just an imitation. And yet this imitation was becoming more and more lifelike with how it looked! If there truly existed a god of fire, then this entity was looking more like one!

A ball of red light and a ball of violet light shined fiercely from the titan’s chest. With how the two balls thumped and pulsated, it looked like they were the hearts of the titan!

“Cerrrackkk!!!”

A bolt of lightning dropped down onto the titan. It traveled across the surface of the titan’s body before transforming into some sort of lightning armor!

Then a beam of energy exploded forth from down below the titan. It was coming from Bai Yunfei!

The amount of power radiating from him wasn’t any weaker than the people he fought once before, like the avatars of Nether or Duan Leiting. Or like the Golden Roc King or Demon-eyed Tiger King….

This was the power of an Early-stage Soul Emperor!!

“Chirp!!!”

At the same exact time Bai Yunfei exploded with power, a wave of light exploded forth from where Xiao Qi was. Whereas Bai Yunfei had red and violet light shining from his person, Xiao Qi had four different colors surrounding him. And like how Bai Yunfei had a titan of fire above him, Xiao Qi had a multicolored bird with outstretched wings right above him!

It was truly a sight to behold. Aside from there only being four colors glowing from this giant bird, it looked very similar to the phoenix!

And that was when a power rivalling Bai Yunfei started to pour out from underneath the giant bird!

Xiao Qi was now an early-stage class eight soulbeast!

With both soul cultivator and soulbeast successfully meeting their requirements for breaking through, it was only natural that they succeeded!!

The both of them smashed through the barrier and made the break through in one fluid moment!

Freezing up, the two titans of energy fell apart into their respective energies and were turned into maelstroms of energy around their masters.

The maelstrom around Bai Yunfei was made primarily up of fire, but there was also plenty of elemental lightning added to the mix. At the center of it all, Bai Yunfei tilted his head back as if enjoying his newfound power.

His eyes snapped open with a bright gleam. Waving his right hand, Bai Yunfei summoned an object to him!

This new object shined bright-red and had a distinct rectangular shape to it—the Cataclysmic Seal!

“Bzzz…”

Tremors traveled through the body of the Cataclysmic Seal the moment it appeared in the pocket dimension. Followed by several mysterious hand gestures, Bai Yunfei summoned the Law of Fire to him to enter the Cataclysmic Seal!

As a Soul Emperor, the energy within Bai Yunfei was completely different than before. Even his soulforce was substantially richer now.

But if one were to have the chance to observe him closely, they’d be able to see that some of that soulforce was leaving his body and being taken into the…armor he was wearing!

This was a sight any crafter was familiar with and treated with the utmost care. This was the sign that a crafter was trying to reforge a soul armament to become their soulbound armament!

It was a sight similar to when he became a Soul Sprite and reforged the Fire-tipped Spear. Then again when he became a Soul King. Both times, the Fire-tipped Spear managed to go up in quality and attack before eventually becoming a lifebound armament.

A Soul King had the chance of crafting a lifebound armament and also when they became a Soul Emperor!

This time, Bai Yunfei was deciding to form a new lifebound armament and…reforge the Cataclysmic Seal!

Of the lifebound armaments he had already, three of them were Regalias that couldn’t be reforged. The Fire-tipped Spear went through the reforging process too many times for him to consider trying again. That left either the Critical Glove or Cataclysmic Seal, but between the two of them, the Cataclysmic Seal had more ‘room for improvement’.

The Cataclysmic Seal was trailing behind, honestly speaking. It had 5000 attack power, a value that was slowly losing its relevancy amongst the people Bai Yunfei was fighting nowadays. The Cataclysmic Seal wasn’t much of a tide-changer even when it was in its giant form. But after accompanying him for so many years, Bai Yunfei was loathed to retire it from the frontlines and wanted to borrow this opportunity to make it even stronger!

And since having a second fireseed meant having a second chance for something else, Bai Yunfei decided to craft a new lifebound armament!

The most likely candidate was the single piece of equipment he deemed necessary—the armor he wore!
