Upgrade Specialist in Another World-Chapter 1331: The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord

“The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord?!”

The name brought a legend to mind. A legend that was frightful for even Bai Yunfei to think about!

The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord wasn’t a well-known legend. Only a few would know the name since this person came from an era even earlier than the one Gu Lianhun was from.

It was a legend of extremely violent origins. His acts of violence over four hundred years ago involved him slaughtering the entirety of two sects almost comparable in strength to the Ten Schools of the contemporary era. Every person that once slighted him were killed without mercy. Even the good friends of those people were killed.

It was known that he had a demon armament, but his indiscriminate slaughter earned him the moniker of ‘Demon Lord’. In some variations of the legend, it was said that his own demon armaments had corroded his mind and turned the Saint into a mindless killing puppet.

Eventually, the actions of the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord caused several Saints to rise up. The Tianhun School had an Early-stage Soul Saint lead two other Early-stage Soul Saints in an attempt to kill him.

A three on one battle should’ve had a predictable ending with the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord being killed. But instead…the three Saints never returned!

The world of soul cultivators was subsequently left in a panic. Was the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord a Mid-stage Soul Saint or even a Late-stage Soul Saint? If that was true, then he was virtually an unstoppable calamity.

Strangely enough, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord wasn’t heard from again after that. It was supposedly said that he sustained a life-threatening wound after that battle and went into isolation somewhere. Regardless of the rumors, it was a fact that the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord didn’t appear again in the world.

Eventually, his name was forgotten by everyone in the community and was turned into a ‘legend’. There was never any reports of his sighting nor any mentions of his signature demon armament.

The only reason Bai Yunfei knew of the legend was because Shen Pojun told him about it when they talked about demon armaments.

In the legends, it was said that the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord had a unique robe that seemed to be eternally dyed red with blood.

And the very person in front of them right now had that same robe. The legendary Bloodsoaked Demon Lord from centuries ago was standing right there!!

The situation was grim and Bai Yunfei found it hard to stay at ease.

How had Shangguan Xiongyan managed to pull in a legendary figure like the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord? It was impossible for him to be a part of the rebels. No, the real answer had to be something else. Shangguan Xiongyan must’ve had told him about the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance.

They were using the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord to do their dirty work!

……

“So this is the Core World? How curious…”

The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was observing the world around him with a curious eye as Byg and Shen Pojun were busy trying to come to terms with this new situation.

“Senior,” Shangguan Xiongyan glared at Bai Yunfei, “that person is Bai Yunfei! He has the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance with him!”

The fury Shangguan Xiongyan had for Bai Yunfei couldn’t even be measured. Not even ripping and tearing him to shreds would appease his anger. The Supreme Saint’s Inheritance should’ve been his! Not only was his own possession taken from him, but he wasn’t even strong enough to kill Bai Yunfei anymore! That was the whole reason why the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was here! The Supreme Saint’s Inheritance wouldn’t be his anymore, and neither would Bai Yunfei’s Regalias, but that was the price he’d have to pay if he really wanted Bai Yunfei to die…

The price was a heavy one, but it was one that had to be paid. His own life would be in constant danger for as long as Bai Yunfei was still alive…

His usage of the Soul Seeker’s Mirror was perfect. Both Bai Yunfei and the Frostfeather Saint had their auras registered to it. All Shangguan Xiongyan had to do was wait for the two auras to split ways before they came in. Then they’d just need to have the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord use his power to force a way open into the Core World!

The properties of the Core World was similar to the Interdimensional Phantasm. It’d be disadvantageous for most people to fight against Bai Yunfei here, but Shangguan Xiongyan was confident a battle wouldn't be happening here…

But still, he and the Abyssal Snake Saint were rather surprised to see something—neither of them knew that Xiao Qi had somehow become a Saint.

The two of them only felt Bai Yunfei’s aura back in Hidden Dragon Valley and not Xiao Qi. They assumed that only two Saints would be in the Core World and not a third. It was a miscalculation on their part.

Their plans consisted of having the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord deal with Bai Yunfei while he and the Abyssal Snake Saint fight Shen Pojun. It would’ve been a much easier fight to win, but Xiao Qi being here made the odds significantly different. Fighting one on one would mean the chances of victory would be much lower.

However, Shangguan Xiongyan didn’t think they’d lose. Even if by chance they weren’t able to finish off Shen Pojun or Xiao Qi, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord would definitely be able to kill Bai Yunfei and then dispatch the other two afterward.

……

The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord wasn’t as pensive as Shangguan Xiongyan was. It was a little unexpected to have one enemy more, but it wasn’t a problem. Though Xiao Qi was a class nine soulbeast, he was newly-ascended and wouldn’t be a match for him. In fact, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord didn’t even think any of the three Saints in front of him were worthy of notice.

His eyes were only for Bai Yunfei, “Kekeke…” He cackled, “You look not even of fifty years yet…A Saint at your tender age…prodigious are you….hehehe….”

A bloodthirsty glint entered his eyes. Looking at Bai Yunfei as if he would a delicious morsel, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord looked extremely sinister and mysterious at the moment.

“If you care for the lives of those here you’ll obediently come out to the real world. Or else…kekeke…”

His eyes flickered over to the Crafting School and the Fate School. It wasn’t an act of goodwill on his part. He simply just wanted to avoid causing damage to the Core World. A Regalia was very precious to him.

Bai Yunfei and Shen Pojun shared a glance. It pained them to fight outside, but it was imperative that they prevented a battle from taking place here just in case the others were caught in the crossfire. Fighting outside was ideal to them as well.

“Very well then, we’ll fight outside!!”

Waving his hand, Bai Yunfei surrounded all six Saints in a bubble of energy that’d take them back outside. None of them resisted and were quickly taken away from the Core World.

……

On the outside.

Everyone appeared high above the skies with the six divided into two sides. The first thing Bai Yunfei did was take the Core Stone before moving with Shen Pojun and Xiao Qi away from the other three.

This was a battle they couldn’t run away from. Bai Yunfei didn’t think all was hopeless, however. Many of his enemies always had these elaborate schemes against him, and every time Bai Yunfei had to fight tooth and nail to survive. In the end, it was his enemies that ended up dying while he was free to live another day…

“Ancestor Shen, I’ll leave Shangguan Xiongyan to you…Xiao Qi, you deal with the Abyssal Snake Saint…I’ll take on the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord!”

Bai Yunfei proposed as he began his preparations to fight.

Xiao Qi preened his feathers. He wasn’t going to doubt Bai Yunfei’s judgment, “You be careful, Yunfei! I’ll try to kill my opponent and help you out!!”

Xiao Qi’s self-confidence had skyrocketed ever since he became a Saint. He might’ve been a newly-ascended Saint, but he wasn’t afraid of fighting against another class nine soulbeast.

“You take care of yourself, Yunfei.” Shen Pojun nodded, “The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord is at the very least a Mid-stage Soul Saint. Don’t be too rash…use the Core Stone to escape if you need to.”

“I’ll be careful, ancestor Shen.”

And that was it. The time for talking was over. Altogether, the three exploded with soulforce to fight, the very first one to take action being Bai Yunfei!

Not even a Saint would want to fight a chaotic battle in close proximity to another. They’d definitely want to separate their fights to avoid crossfire. So as a result, everyone split ways and flew away from the area to meet their respective foes.

Being in battle-mode meant Bai Yunfei wouldn’t be able to monitor the situations of the other two. His eyes were focused on the person in front of him. Letting out a roar, Bai Yunfei unleashed the first attack to start the battle!

“Roar!!”

Two dragons exploded into life from his arms—Bai Yunfei was starting off the battle with the strongest move he had—the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst!

The Interdimensional Phantasm was already coming out as the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst traveled through the air. It was time for Bai Yunfei to bring the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord into it.

But at that moment…

“Whoosh!!”

An arc of blood-red light shot through the air faster than Bai Yunfei could blink. Before the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst could reach the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord, it was…cleaved in half by the light!!
