Chapter 1348: The Power of Soul Armaments: Saved From Death!

Liang Yinshen’s Thunder God’s Judgment was an extremely powerful soul skill. One that was as rare as it was powerful. It was likely that anyone fighting Liang Yinshen would’ve fallen prey to the attack without ever knowing about the truth of it being able to go from being an elemental attack to a soul attack. No one would be fast enough to react upon finding out the truth, either. Even if one was prepared for a soul attack, they’d be hit with an elemental attack instead.

“......”

Not was not the time to defend. Concentrating his energy, Bai Yunfei had the Cataclysmic Seal sent forward!

The right hand of the Thunder God had just struck onto the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst before its arm was engulfed by the following explosion. But it wasn’t dead. Moments later and violet rays of light could already be seen shining through the explosion.

......

“Boom!!!”

One second later and a secondary explosion detonated!

This wasn’t just the explosion of an elemental attack, there was a soul attack hidden in there!

“Ugh!”

“Chirp!!”

Shen Pojun and Xiao Qi both groaned from pain; the Thunder God’s Judgment had affected even them! They were a good distance away and yet the pulsewave had enough power behind it to inflict harm on them! If it could do that much damage to another person indirectly, then the amount of power it delivered onto its main target definitely had to be massive!

Liang Yinshen sneered, pleased by his handiwork. He was confident that Bai Yunfei would fall prey to his soul attack and be incapacitated just long enough for him to win.

Then...

“What?!”

The sneer faded away after a while. A giant ‘mountain’ came flying out of the smoke toward him with a devastating amount of velocity!

“Impossible!!”

Liang Yinshen cried out; he couldn’t believe it! Bai Yunfei had to have been hit by his soul attack. How was it possible that he was still able to attack just like that? It shouldn’t have been possible!

But reality was telling him otherwise. Regardless, Liang Yinshen wasn’t so stunned to be in danger of being hit. Waving both arms in front of him, he had the giant demonic figure behind him block his body with its arms.

“Boom!!”

The giant mountain slammed into the giant figure with enough force to cause a tremendous shockwave. The two forces trembled slightly with the Cataclysmic Seal stopping and the demonic figure losing a good amount of the energy that made up its body.

“Pft!!”

The Cataclysmic Seal failed to destroy the figure, but it did manage to force some fresh blood out from Liang Yinshen’s mouth!

“This...this shouldn’t be! He should be injured! What is happening?! Ahhh!!”

He was in disbelief. Liang Yinshen couldn’t believe how Bai Yunfei was completely unharmed by his ultimate move! The Thunder God’s Judgment had done nothing to him!

It went without saying this wasn’t what Liang Yinshen had planned. Furious, he began to manipulate the demon behind him once again to send two more rounds of lightning bolts toward Bai Yunfei!

Bai Yunfei remained calm. He stared at the two incoming lightningbolts as he ate a soulforce-recovering pill. Without moving to dodge or defend himself, Bai Yunfei activated the additional effect of his armor!

Bai Yunfei had to thank the +10 additional effect of the Soul Sealing Mandate on being able to negate the Thunder God’s Judgment.

He didn’t actually have to use that additional effect. He still had the Soul Sentinel Scarf’s ability to reflect soul attacks, but that had the ‘chance’ of activating and wasn’t guaranteed. Bai Yunfei wasn’t willing to risk his life on such a chance and decided to go with the safer route. Five seconds of immunity to soul attacks was a good choice to make since that meant he’d be completely fine from the Thunder God’s Judgment. He’d be able to take advantage of the confusion to attack Liang Yinshen with the Cataclysmic Seal.

He had already decided to use the Counter Armor’s +10 and +12 additional effect when Liang Yinshen was attacking the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst!!

“Bzz...bzz...”

The space in front of Bai Yunfei rippled erratically. One portion of it had a black whirlpool form while the other half had a transparent barrier manifest itself. Then the two lightning bolts struck them.

“Whoosh!”

The first lightning bolt went smoothly inside without a mess. It entered the black whirlpool and disappeared without even a trace.

The second lightning bolt looked as though it was caught by a very flexible net. It traveled just a bit forward than the other lightning bolt before being rebounded back where it came from!

“What?!”

Liang Yinshen was once again shocked. Hurriedly bringing his arms up, he erected an elemental barrier to protect himself. It wasn’t as strong as a defense as he’d like, given the time, and the explosion of his own attack managed to inflict enough harm for him to stumble backward.

“You shall die for this!!”

Liang Yinshen’s fury began to overflow. Furious, a calculative gleam entered his eyes as he pointed his finger at Bai Yunfei!

It actually took a lot out from Bai Yunfei to negate and reflect the two attacks. Pale from fatigue, Bai Yunfei was already feeling the effects of being low on soulforce. As magical as his soul armament were, they weren’t so magical that they’d be able to stop a Late-stage Soul Saint’s attack without issue. Activating effects required more soulforce if the usage was heavier. In this specific case, Bai Yunfei lost roughly half his soulforce stopping the two attacks.

He had no choice but to use Soul Ignition to regain his soulforce. The pill wasn’t enough. He managed to survive this long, but going any longer without replenishing his reserves would most likely end in his defeat.

“What?!”

Immediately after he activated Soul Ignition, Bai Yunfei felt the overwhelming sensation of death approaching him!

This was the feeling of intuition born from only countless experiences with near-death experiences through battle. The power of instinct! Without even knowing what was going on, Bai Yunfei activated the Core Stone’s +10 additional effect!

+10 Additional Effect: Consume soulforce to send any target within ten meters into a sealed dimension for two seconds. Target cannot be attacked and cannot attack. Target maintains original visibility. Cooldown of 1 minute.

His figure shimmered in the light as he was transported elsewhere. And not a second too soon!

“Whoosh!!”

A violet bolt of lightning speared through where Bai Yunfei once stood. Had he still been there, the lightning bolt would’ve gone through his head and upper torso!

It wasn’t a lightning bolt, but a menacingly long violet halberd !

The Regalia, the Thunder God’s Judging Halberd!

This was the powerful Regalia Sealer was just warning him about!

His heart was pounding heavily even after he managed to dodge the blow. That had been too close for comfort! He’d be a dead man if not for the Core Stone’s ability!

Liang Yinshen’s Thunder God had burst apart after it stopped the Cataclysmic Seal. With hundreds of slivers of elemental energy swimming around, Bai Yunfei’s defenses prioritized stopping all foreign energy instead of anything else. He had been so focused in that aspect that he didn’t realize a Regalia would be hidden within it!

Several times, Liang Yinshen attacked. His strength was waning now that he used his ultimate move. It was definitely a close call for Bai Yunfei. Not even a Late-stage Soul Saint would be able to pull themselves out from danger like that without something like the Core Stone helping them!

“Still alive!?”

It was utterly inconceivable to Liang Yinshen that Bai Yunfei was still alive! All he could do was stare with wide eyes as his ‘sure-fire’ killing move failed!

“Ugh!!”

Two seconds went by and Bai Yunfei’s soulforce was now fully recovered thanks to Soul Ignition. Ignoring the stab of pain that went through his chest, Bai Yunfei waved his right hand at Liang Yinshen!

“Whoosh! Whoosh!!”

A black light shot out from mid-air toward Liang Yinshen, but that wasn’t all! The Cataclysmic Seal circled around to fly toward Liang Yinshen, but it was to strike the Thunder God’s Judging Halberd out of the way!
