Upgrade Specialist in Another World Chapter 1176: To Make One's Own Bed

Bai Yunfei’s energy exploded across the Ninth Heaven. Chaotic energy swirled to his right hand when he raised it up and quickly transformed into a large ball of chaos! Throwing his hand forward, Bai Yunfei threw the ball toward Yue Kuangfeng!
“Ahh!!!”
The absolute confusion he had been in meant Yue Kuangfeng wasn’t able to respond as quickly as he’d like, ideally. But as a Mid-stage Soul Emperor, there was still an ample amount of time for him to escape. His soulforce roared to life and fed itself into the Windcloaked Pagoda. The bubble of energy protecting him swelled in size as he tried to flee toward the right.
“Whoosh!!”
The ball of chaotic energy grazed past Yue Kuangfeng’s barrier, resulting in the barrier trembling a bit as if on the verge of collapsing. To Yue Kuangfeng’s relief, however, his barrier held.
“Impossible…how can it be! How can it be?!”
Dodging that attack didn’t do much to alleviate his concerns. Yue Kuangfeng was still desperately trying to figure out how Bai Yunfei had done it. He still couldn’t believe that Bai Yunfei had done it. But the proof was there! He was living in the same reality as Bai Yunfei! Bai Yunfei was able to move about without concern within this area!
“Could…could he be a Soul Saint?!”
A terrifying thought crossed through Yue Kuangfeng’s mind before being struck down at once. It brought up a good point though. How else could Bai Yunfei be unaffected by chaotic energy if he wasn’t a Soul Saint?!
“Could he have some kind of soul armament that negates chaotic energy?!”
It was the only plausible explanation. And yet that explanation had a flaw in it—how was Bai Yunfei able to use that soul armament to absorb chaotic energy then?!
“No! This definitely has to be the work of a special soul armament! He has to be suffering some kind of price to use it! He’s just bluffing!”
He was consoling himself by this point. Nothing seemed to make much sense to him anymore, but he had to console himself. He’d be able to fight with ‘confidence’ as long as he could believe in his own flimsy logic!
“Die!! Sundering Cyclone!!”
Yue Kuangfeng snarled. Several handseals later and a giant tornado of wind was summoned onto the world. Perhaps it was to boost his own confidence, but Yue Kuangfeng was actually shouting out loud the name of the technique he was using. It was one of the strongest techniques of his school, the Sundering Cyclone!
The more elemental wind Yue Kuangfeng added to this attack the stronger it became. The Law of Wind was being infused in great amounts to add to the technique’s destructive might. Soon, not even the surrounding chaotic energy could penetrate the cyclone.
The trail left behind by the cyclone was completely sparse and devoid of anything. True to its name, this cyclone was seemingly destroying any type of energy it came into contact with.
For as powerful as this cyclone was, its only target was a single person—Bai Yunfei!
……
Clapping both hands together, Bai Yunfei began to go through a series of familiar handseals!
“Bang!”
A brilliant flame burst to life around Bai Yunfei. It swirled around his arms and traveled to his hands before exploding outwards!
“Roar!!”
Two gigantic dragons made of fire erupted from the flames around Bai Yunfei’s fists. Roaring loudly, the two dragons snarled and flew toward Yue Kuangfeng!
The Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst!
But it was quite different compared to before: The fire wasn’t much stronger than before, but the chaotic energy the dragons absorbed was far higher than before. The more they circled around the dragons, the more they were absorbed into it and made them swell in size. Soon, the two dragons were fully armored by gray scales—these dragons were now filled with a terrifying amount of chaotic energy!
In the past, the Law of Fire was responsible for powering the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst with the Law of Lightning and chaotic energy acting as supplementary sources.
But today, the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst was primarily powered by chaotic energy!
And the amount of it was terrifying. It wasn’t even powered by ‘ordinary’ chaotic energy anymore, but by Law!
The Law of Chaos!
“Boom!!!”
In the blink of an eye, the two dragons were already closing in on Yue Kuangfeng. One loud explosion later and the two were forced away from one another!
“Boom…boom!!”
The world looked like it was on the verge of collapse. Cracks in space began to appear everywhere and devour the surrounding energy, but not all of it. There was simply far too much chaotic energy to be devoured and the cracks were forced to smooth over. Then in a cycle, the cracks reopened due to the influx of energy and then dissipated once again…
The cycle continued for a while until the energy began to weaken. Soon, something could be seen…
“Impossible!!”
It was Yue Kuangfeng that cried out. He was staring at a completely unharmed Bai Yunfei without any of the decorum as expected from a Soul Emperor. He was panicking beyond belief!
His soulforce was in a bad state as well as his mind. Elemental attacks took more energy to be used in this area since there was no ‘energy’ beside chaotic energy to draw upon. The technique he used just now had practically taken out the majority of his reserves!
It wasn’t hard to imagine how bad it was to consume so much soulforce in such a short amount of time in a battle like this. To add onto how much soulforce Yue Kuangfeng used, he had to use the Windcloaked Pagoda after his attack to avoid being hit by the chaotic energy.
With that protecting him, Yue Kuangfeng thought himself to be safe. He also thought Bai Yunfei would be the one in an even worse state than he was.
But when all was done and back to normal…
Bai Yunfei was looking as calm as ever!
Gray energy swirled around Bai Yunfei’s person, protecting him from the harm of any external energy. He looked extraordinarily calm in the ‘storm’ of energy around him, and not even his hair looked like there was even a single strand of it displaced.
He was, in truth, absolutely unharmed and unaffected by Yue Kuangfeng’s attack.
To account for the environment he was in, Bai Yunfei used half the normal amount of elemental fire in the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst. He also had the two dragons rely on the surrounding chaotic energy and the Law of Chaos to bind them to it to form an entirely unique version of the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst.
In other words, Bai Yunfei was able to use a never-before seen version of the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst only in this place.
And the raw power in that new version of it failed to disappoint him.
……
Bai Yunfei was staring at his handiwork with a pleased smile. His smile only grew more pronounced when he heard Yue Kuangfeng scream. One second later…he was gone in a burst of light!
He had no interest in prolonging this fight by mocking his opponent or wait around. Seeing that he had the advantage, Bai Yunfei saw no need to seize victory right here and now!
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…”
The chaotic energy around Bai Yunfei began to swirl around Bai Yunfei. Like a conductor waving his baton, Bai Yunfei directed the energy as he would normally do with elemental fire to send ray after ray of chaos toward Yue Kuangfeng!
“Damn!!”
A panicked cry emerged from Yue Kuangfeng. Bathing himself in a green light, he wrapped himself in a bubble of energy to hopefully protect himself once again.
“Boom boom boom…”
The rays of chaotic energy splashed across the green cocoon. A crack would appear every so often over the surface of the cocoon before quickly being patched up. Soon, the cocoon could hold on no longer and collapsed, revealing a figure to shoot straight off toward the side to avoid being hit.
“Rumble…rumble!!”
From there, Yue Kuangfeng was forced on the defensive. He’d have to move this way or that with the Windcloaked Pagoda to avoid being hit. Sometimes, he’d have the time to attack Bai Yunfei, but those attacks never got anywhere close to Bai Yunfei.
Yue Kuangfeng was powerless almost. Chaotic energy reigned supreme here. Any other elemental energy was next-to-useless in being manipulated, so he had to rely on his own originseeds to ‘create’ the proper energy he needed. That required a lot more soulforce than normally worth and would hinder his rate of regeneration.
Bai Yunfei, on the other hand, hadn’t such a limitation. The amount of chaotic energy here was boundless. He could use as much of it as he needed instead of elemental fire. Bai Yunfei had the option of either absorbing the chaotic energy to replenish himself or use it to attack his enemy. Either way, Bai Yunfei was in his element and could afford to be ‘relaxed’.
He didn’t even need either ‘Coil’ Form or Berserk Mode to force a Mid-stage Soul Emperor to such a state!
This place was meant to be the Wind Lightning School’s trump card. But they were wrong. This was Bai Yunfei’s battlefield. Certainly, Bai Yunfei would’ve been in danger if it was the same Bai Yunfei of a few months ago, but that was no longer the case. No one from the Wind Lightning School would ever suspect that the Frostfeather Saint had paved the path for Bai Yunfei to learn about the Law of Chaos. And now Bai Yunfei was the very first person in recorded history to be able to cultivate with chaotic energy as a Soul Emperor!
And so there could only be one thing to be said about Yue Kuangfeng’s plan to bring Bai Yunfei to this place and kill him…
He had made his bed, and now he must lie on it!
