Upgrade Specialist in Another World
Chapter 1145: A Disadvantageous Situation

“The Interdimensional Phantasm still exists in this era?!”

The Blue-eyes White Dragon King exclaimed—this type of beast was a legendary one. One that even he had only heard mention of before. This was a beast that preceded his time by thousands of years!

“The Interdimensional Phantasm contains a whole world within itself, the Phantasm. A world where one feels limited in every regard…will Bai Yunfei be able to handle it?”

Worry began to grace the Blue-eyes White Dragon King’s eyes. Just remembering the stories of this beast was enough for him to take concern for Bai Yunfei even despite knowing how strong the soul cultivator was.

“Swish!!”

He ducked his head to dodge a strike from the Azure Eagle King. Swinging his right hand out, he sent out a beam of white light into the prismatic light down below him!

His attack barreled through the sky, but…it sailed through the light as if it didn’t even exist!

No.

To say it ‘sailed’ through the light would be wrong. When the attack touched the light, the edges of the attack rippled a bit before it reappeared beneath the light!

That meant his attack skipped over where the light was; it completely skipped the point of contact!

That light was bending space!

“Boom!!”

The attack of the Blue-eyes White Dragon King traveled for a moment longer before careening into the ground below and creating a tremendous crater!

“Just like I heard, it’s invulnerable in its specter mode….” The Blue-eyes White Dragon King mumbled. “The legends say it takes a minute for the Interdimensional Phantasm to ‘spit’ out whatever ‘living being’ it took into the Phantasm. I hope Bai Yunfei will be able to endure it.”

The Interdimensional Phantasm was said to be a being born from the endless void. Its true origins were known to no one, but it was said that it could transform into any living being. Its most common form was an ephemeral ball of light that would ‘float’ through the world from the highest point of the heavens to the lowest pit of the underworld. But it never stayed in one place for too long.

A whole world existed in the body of the Interdimensional Phantasm. Known as the Phantasm, this world was as paradoxically large.

It was also said that the Interdimensional Phantasm wasn’t very intelligent and was quite ‘lazy’; almost sluggish in movement, even. It hardly posed a threat to others and was content to simply feasting on the energy of the world. The way it ‘ate’ was quite strange, though. By taking a large ‘breath’ of air, the Interdimensional Phantasm could swallow anything into its body. After a minute of processing, the being would harmlessly ‘spit’ out any living being and keep the natural energy of the world.

Any soul cultivator or soulbeast unlucky enough to be caught in its body during that moment would see to having their soulforce being taken, but not a fatal amount. A minute only needed to pass for them to be spat back out, alive and well.

The Interdimensional Phantasm was also peculiar in that it did not attack others and it could neither be attacked. When in its mirage form, the Interdimensional Phantasm separated itself from the world’s dimension so it could become intangible!

In short, a soulbeast like this was considered to be of an ‘otherworldly’ type and mentioned only in rumors. The Blue-eyes White Dragon King never expected that the Beast Taming School would have a rare soulbeast hardly seen every several thousand years!

But the fact that they did meant the Beast Taming School had an extremely powerful soulbeast puppet!

“Chiiii!!!”

The Blue-eyes White Dragon King tore his eyes away from Bai Yunfei’s situation. It was time for him to turn his attention back to the Azure Eagle King and began his duel once more.

“Boom boom boom boom boom…”

In the Phantasm.

Bai Yunfei had only just dodged the first golden whip before realizing seven more streaks of light were coming straight for him!

They traveled so fast that Bai Yunfei grew alert for once. Activating his Lightning Boots, Bai Yunfei retreated into the direction forward.

Xiao Qi was with him as well. Powering up his Wind and Lightning Feathers, the bird evaded a golden tendril and branched off from Bai Yunfei to attack from the side.

“Bang!!”

Both Bai Yunfei and Xiao Qi heard a sickening crack beneath them. The galewing lion had been hit! Too slow to dodge the tendrils, the lion was struck and flew away from the two like a bullet!

Judging by the sound, Bai Yunfei had to say the lion had to have two broken ribs or so.

Now beyond the range of the tendril’s reach, Bai Yunfei looked at the golden ball of light to see what kind of soulbeast he was fighting…

A giant golden bull!! Its entire body was lit up with a golden glow; were it not for the bull moving around, Bai Yunfei would’ve assumed it was a golden sculpture in the shape of a bull! But that wasn’t even the strangest part about this bull. This bull had…eight tails!

That was what attacked him earlier! They weren’t the tendrils of some kind of octopus, but the golden tails of a bull!

“What kind of soulbeast is this?!”

He wasn’t an expert on soulbeasts, but this kind of peculiar soulbeast wasn’t one he was familiar with at all. The only thing he could tell about this one was that it had to have an affinity for metal and was a mid-stage class eight soulbeast!

“The early-stage class eight blacksand scorpion, that strange mid-stage class eight soulbeast that threw us into this world, and now this mid-stage class eight eight-tailed bull…Lin Xiangtian can control three class eight soulbeasts at once!”

Despite the hatred he felt for Lin Xiangtian, Bai Yunfei had to admit this person was without a doubt the headmaster of the Beast Taming School and a man of extraordinary strength.

But the battle had only just begun. Bai Yunfei wasn’t completely frightened of him just yet.

He had a bit of an idea where he was. He didn’t know the properties of the Interdimensional Phantasm, but Bai Yunfei could surmise at the very least it was capable of throwing people into another world.

If not another world, then it was another dimension. And if that was the case, then it was a spatial-type soulbeast and was similar to the Core Stone!

He also noticed his own soulforce being slowly taken from him. Also, Bai Yunfei realized he was having extreme difficulty controlling the energy of the world around him!

Meanwhile, Lin Xiangtian looked like he was completely unaffected. If anything, he looked even stronger than before!

Bai Yunfei had to admit this felt a little bit like when he took his enemies into the Core World. Only this time it was him that was being restricted…

“Moo!!”

The time for thinking was over. Commanding the eight-tailed bull to renew its attacks, Lin Xiangtian had it form a giant ball of golden light to send flying at Bai Yunfei!

Even a regular elemental attack like this would be deadly if it was a mid-stage class eight soulbeast doing it!

Though he questioned why the battle would start with such a simple attack like this, Bai Yunfei decided not to risk anything and pushed his hands out!

“Bzz….”

The air in front of Bai Yunfei trembled for a second before something akin to a transparent barrier appeared. Manifesting just in time to make contact with the golden ball of light, the barrier stretched backward like a fishnet before bouncing the ball back towards its source!

This was the +12 additional effect of the armor Bai Yunfei wore, the ability to reflect elemental attacks!

“What?!”

Lin Xiangtian was startled, he didn’t expect his own attack to come flying back toward him!!
