Upgrade Specialist in Another World
Chapter 1336: The True Aim of the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord!“……”
Bai Yunfei approached the corpse of the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord, puzzled. Was this really how it’d end? Did he really just win?!
Yes, the crux of his plan relied on the Cataclysmic Seal using the +14 additional effect to make for a smooth path to victory, but…was it really supposed to be this easy? This smoothly? It felt a little hard to believe.
The man was supposed to be a powerful Mid-stage Soul Saint. How was such a figure like that going to be taken out so easily?
Well, ‘easily’ was probably the wrong word to use. It took a tremendous amount of patience and effort on Bai Yunfei’s part to pull off. He was even debating on using Soul Ignition a second time if the Cataclysmic Seal didn’t activate.
“Phew…the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord probably had the demon armament as a lifebound armament or something. The damage he took from losing it must’ve been far too much. That must be why the Fire-tipped Spear was able to strike him dead…”
Bai Yunfei smiled to himself in an attempt to calm himself down. The ‘accomplishment’ of killing a Mid-stage Soul Saint was truly hard to put into words.
“Well then, now I can go he—hold on! Something’s not right!”
He was in the middle of turning around when he sensed something was off!!
The corpse of the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord had fallen down to the ground, but…he distinctly felt the presence of the soul!!
The soul of the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord!!
Sweat formed on his forehead immediately. Focusing on the corpse of the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord, Bai Yunfei began to observe it with all his concentration.
“Is he still alive?! No way! Not even a Saint can live without their head! It’s impossible! No…that’s not where his soul is!!”
Suddenly, Bai Yunfei felt the ominous stench of death erupt from right behind him!
“No!!”
There wasn’t any time for Bai Yunfei to even turn his head. He was about to activate the Core Stone’s ability to send him into another dimension when…
“Keke…”
He began to hear a creepy cackle from beside his ears. Freezing at the sound, Bai Yunfei felt something intrude into his body before suddenly feeling himself be muddle-headed!
Anyone with eyes on Bai Yunfei would’ve been treated to an especially spooky sight. The faint silhouette of a person had without warning appeared right beside Bai Yunfei to cackle into his ears before…transforming into a misty light to enter his body!
……
It happened far too quickly for Bai Yunfei to react to. The mist was already in his body before he realized the trouble he was in—another soul had intruded in on his body!
“Kekeke…your body is mine, whelp!!”
Bai Yunfei started at once. The same cackle as before was now in his mind!
The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord!!
“What is goi—aghhh!!!”
The words were hardly out from his mouth when the pain started. From the depths of his soul, something was causing it to feel as though it was being torn apart, causing him to cry out from the pain!
No…he wasn’t imagining things. His soul was really being torn apart!!
The foreign soul was like a beast in his body; it was biting at his soul as if to devour it!
Souls had no physical presence. But if it did have one, then Bai Yunfei would’ve said that it felt like his soul was being torn apart ‘piece by piece’!
“I—no! How is this happening?!”
Horrified, Bai Yunfei realized what was going on at once!
Possession!!
A secret art once used by powerful individuals in the past!!
The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was attempting to seize control of his body!
“Agghh!!!”
It didn’t do Bai Yunfei any good knowing what was happening to him, his soul was still being torn apart regardless of him knowing that knowledge!
Half of his soul was already gone, but it wasn’t just his soul that was looking different. His body was starting to become faint as well!
……
“Oh?! A…an avatar?! He has a Saint leveled avatar?! Haha! Excellent!!”
The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was surprised to find the existence of Bai Yunfei’s avatar when he was eating away at Bai Yunfei’s soul. It confused him why he wasn’t using it to fight him; his own personal avatar had been destroyed a long time ago. So to find his next host coming with a ‘pre-installed’ avatar was a delightful find! It’d be the next thing he’d eat.
It filled the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord with an extreme amount of delight in being able to take possession of someone who was able to obtain the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance.
If he could successfully possess this body, then the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord would be able to achieve multiple goals. A younger body and longer lifespan, the chance of becoming the next Supreme Saint, and a chance in being able to reach the legendary realm!
That was the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord’s true aim!!
He never thought about killing Bai Yunfei at all. In fact, it was his plan to be killed by Bai Yunfei and then use the skills he knew to steal away Bai Yunfei’s body!
No one knew he was capable of such a thing. The body he was using now wasn’t even his original one! He was in fact using the body of one of the three Saints he fought against four hundred years ago!
Indeed. That battle long ago had been one where his original body was destroyed without any evidence. But at the very last moment…he was able to catch his enemies off guard and steal away the bodies of one of the Saints. After devouring their soul, he was able to take possession of it and continue living!
He went into hiding after that. With his new body, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord decided to spend a whole two hundred years to become a Mid-stage Soul Saint. Despite that period of time, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was unfortunately unable to get any stronger after that.
It wasn’t too long ago when Shangguan Xiongyan somehow found him and told him about the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance. He didn’t know how he was able to be found, but the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was determined then—it mattered little if Shangguan Xiongyan was trying to use him for his own goals, but he was definitely planning to grab hold of the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance!
From the very beginning, Bai Yunfei had been nothing more but a lamb to a slaughter for him. He spent the entire fight ‘observing’ Bai Yunfei to see every single technique he had. And needless to say, he was overjoyed. The only reason why the fight took as long as it did was because he was waiting for the most optimal time to take possession. He had to orchestrate a chance for himself to be killed so he could begin.
That being said, there were a few things the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord didn’t account for. He definitely was shocked to see the Bloodbath be absorbed by the Cataclysmic Seal. Likewise, he also didn’t have any time to dodge the Fire-tipped Spear. If he didn’t manage to activate the technique to begin the possession process he most likely would’ve died for real by Bai Yunfei’s hand.
The destruction of the Bloodbath was actually extremely infuriating for him, but it was something he’d figure out at a later time. Taking over Bai Yunfei’s body was far more valuable than the Bloodbath despite its worth since he’d be able to make even greater returns later.
And so that led the moment up to now when he appeared beside Bai Yunfei and snuck into his body when the latter was distracted. Once inside, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was free to chomp on Bai Yunfei’s side to his heart’s desire!
He’d be able to learn all Bai Yunfei knew once he finished eating his soul. He’d basically become this body’s new owner!
Forcing a possession merely required him to catch the person off guard and start devouring their soul before they could act!
……
In a matter of seconds and the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord had already devoured over half of Bai Yunfei’s soul before the latter could respond!
It was far too late for Bai Yunfei by the time he began to put up any resistance. His soul was already far too weak to fend off the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord!
“Kekeke…I will accept your vessel with gratitude—die!!”
The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord cackled mischievously. Launching himself at the remaining portions of Bai Yunfei’s soul, he prepared to finish the soul off and erase it from the world!
