Chapter 1339: Two Regalias

Now that the battle was over, everyone returned to the Core World to recuperate .

Xiao Qi went to take in the experience he gained from killing the Abyssal Snake Saint and Shangguan Xiongyan . It was most certainly a plentiful amount that’d help him in his training . Shen Pojun went into a private chamber of his own to rest while Bai Yunfei went into isolation to recover from his wounds .

The price to defeat the last three enemies had been a huge one for Bai Yunfei to pay . But it was a bet that paid off—Xiao Qi managed to gain a tremendous amount of experience and had the Abyssal Snake Saint’s soulgem; and Bai Yunfei managed to take in the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord’s power and take two of Shangguan Xiongyan’s Regalias!

His wounds were already on the way back to normalcy, leaving Bai Yunfei with excitement to look at the spoils he got . He was so excited he didn’t even pay the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord’s energy any mind .

Waving his right hand, Bai Yunfei brought out a small bronze mirror to him .

Equipment Grade: Mid Divine

Elemental Affinity: Metal, Illusion

Defense: 25000

Equipment Effect 1: Cast ‘Dispel’ to unravel any illusion-type attack . Cooldown of 1 hour .

Equipment Effect 2: Create a screening dome to hide from any tracking skill .

Equipment Effect 3: Track the soul signature regardless of distance . Only two signatures can be registered at once .

Upgrade Requirement: 700 Soulpoints

The stats of the Soul Seeker’s Mirror popped up into Bai Yunfei’s mind at once . Each of the three equipment effects left Bai Yunfei with a smile . Illusion breaking, anti-tracking, and tracking abilities! What a powerful tool! And it was extremely powerful with 25000 points of defense, it’d definitely serve as a nice way to protect his heart .

Next up, Bai Yunfei summoned another item to him, one that shined gold and red .

Equipment Grade: Mid Divine

Elemental Affinity: Metal, Fire

Defense: 45000

Equipment Effect 1: Cast a metal-type barrier . Size and strength of the barrier is dependent on amount of soulforce given . Cannot exceed the total defense of this equipment .  Cannot block soul-type attacks .

Equipment Effect 2: Double defense against metal or fire type attacks .

Equipment Effect 3: Can absorb a portion of the power when struck and convert it into base defense . At most can hold up to 150% power for 1 hour .

Upgrade Requirement: 900 Soulpoints

Bai Yunfei was stunned at the Triumphant Flame’s stats . 45000 Points of defense was absolutely massive! It was double that of the Soul Seeker’s Mirror, and the two of them were both in the same tier! Bai Yunfei was actually wondering if it was about to encroach on the High-divine tier almost .

It filled his heart with such glee to see the two Regalias in his hands . “You two spirits should come out now, right?”

“Whoosh whoosh…”

Two balls of light flew out from the two Regalia . The one that came out from the Triumphant Flame was small golden tortoise the size of a soccer ball and the one from the Soul Seeker’s Mirror was a faint metal ball the size of a ping pong ball .

The spirits of the Triumphant Flame and Soul Seeker’s Mirror .

The turtle turned its head to observe Bai Yunfei .  “Child, how unexpected to witness the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord’s by your hand . How was it accomplished?”

Bai Yunfei grew polite at once after realizing how much older the spirit was to him . “Luck, that’s all . I’d have been Possessed by the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord if not for Sealer and Sentinel… . Sentinel, Core, Sealer, why don’t you come out to see your old friends?”

Three bursts of light appeared as Core, Sealer, and Sentinel all came into view . Even the spirit in the Cataclysmic Seal floated by Bai Yunfei’s shoulder .

Bai Yunfei was the odd one out with how there was six spirits and just one human .

“Haha!!” Sealer broke into laughter, “Triumphant, Seeker, long time no see!! Who’d thought we’d all end up back together!!”

Though ‘comrades’ the Regalia were ultimately soul armaments and tools for their soul cultivator to use . They belonged to no faction but the ones their master were in . That was the reason why neither spirits ever bothered to speak to Bai Yunfei . But now with their master dead, the two Regalia were essentially passed down to the one that slayed their old master and were now free to be used by Bai Yunfei as he wished .

The spirit of the Triumphant Flame looked at Sealer with a look of disdain, “Pah! My ‘master’ was Tianhun, it only stands to reason I’d serve his descendants . Where is your respect for him if you serve an outsider against one of his descendants?”

“Hey now, Tianhun never said we’d have to serve his descendants forever! He was the one to spread some of us out all those years ago . Yunfei is our ‘master’ now, so of course we’d help him . Besides…aren’t you the ones helping those that ‘betrayed’ the Royal Family?”

“That…” The Triumphant Flame gained an icy edge to its voice, “Is a family problem . I will follow my master, Wu Hao . I will follow him even if you killed Shangguan Xiongyan . Without his order I will never allow myself to be used by anyone else!”

“……”

Bai Yunfei found himself rather surprised by the quarrel between the two spirits . The Triumphant Flame’s outright refusal was a little surprising to say the least and had Bai Yunfei delving into its consciousness to see something .

His suspicions were confirmed a little later when he found an extremely strong seal on the Triumphant Flame’s spirit . The act of entering the Triumphant Flame’s conscious had already consumed a tremendous amount of energy, but removing the seal would be beyond Bai Yunfei’s abilities even in his peak . The seal was one that marked the Triumphant Flame as being a lifebound armament to another person .

That led Bai Yunfei to realize that Shangguan Xiongyan wasn’t the ‘true’ master of the Triumphant Flame . The Regalia was simply borrowed to him by someone else, prince Wu Hao .

There wasn’t much he could do in that aspect . Wearing the Triumphant Flame would definitely give him a tremendous amount of armor, but he’d be unable to access its other powerful effects… 

It’d be impossible for him to remove Wu Hao’s marking on the Triumphant Flame either . Not even if he managed to upgrade the Triumphant Flame to +12 .

All in all, Bai Yunfei felt quite depressed . “Are you of the same opinion as Triumphant, then?”

Having no face to express a feeling with, the Soul Seeker’s Mirror was unable to show any emotion .  “I was found only a decade ago by Wu Hao, my master . I am but a soulbound armament to him, not a lifebound armament . I will not refuse you as a master if you’re able to override his marking . ”

“Seeker, you!!” The Triumphant Flame let out a voice of betrayal, but that was all it did . Not even another word of argument .

“Haha! You’re choosing correctly, Seeker! Don’t worry! Bai Yunfei won’t let you down, he’ll leave you amazed! Hehe…Yunfei, strengthen Seeker! Erase that seal from ‘Wu Hao’ and make Seeker yours! Triumphant, well…there’s no point in upgrading him!”

“Upgrade? What is that?” Seeker queried .

Even the Triumphant Flame had a curious glance as it faced Bai Yunfei .

“……”

Bai Yunfei nodded after a while, “Fine, I’ll upgrade the Soul Seeker’s Mirror . ”

Putting down the Triumphant Flame, Bai Yunfei held the Soul Seeker’s Mirror to eye-level . “Upgrade . ”

……

An indefinite amount of time later, Bai Yunfei held a +11 and +12 Guaranteed Upgrade Stone to the +10 Soul Seeker’s Mirror . Another two moments later and the Soul Seeker’s Mirror was successfully upgraded to +12 .

Equipment Grade: Mid Divine

Elemental Affinity: Metal, Illusion

Upgrade Level: +12

Defense: 25000

Additional Defense: 23000

Soul Compatibility: 40%

Equipment Effect 1: Cast ‘Dispel’ to unravel any illusion-type attack . Cooldown of 1 hour .

Equipment Effect 2: Create a screening dome to hide from any tracking skill .

Equipment Effect 3: Track the soul signature regardless of distance . Only two signatures can be registered at once .

+10 Additional Effect: When tracking, display a silhouette for 10 seconds .  

Cooldown of 1 hour .

+12 Additional Effect: Shine a light onto a tracked target’s body . 30% Decrease in all attributes for 10 seconds . Cooldown of 1 minute .

……

Bai Yunfei nodded his head, pleased with the results .  “The +10 additional effect upgraded the mirror’s tracking from being a ‘radar’ to being a ‘satellite’ now, not bad… . And isn’t the +12 additional effect making this more like a ‘magic mirror’ now? Hehe, dropping the stats of my opponents is pretty good . ”

“This…this is what ‘upgrading’ is?! What is this? Why am I so strangely powerful now?! This should be impossible…” Seeker queried again .

“Hehe, I wasn’t lying, wasn’t I?” Sealer crooned, “Yunfei is the hero to us soul armaments . You might as well become a lifebound armament to him and let him treat you even better!”

“ . . . ” Seeker said nothing for a moment .  

“He is my master as long as he can override Wu Hao’s seal . But I will refuse to become his lifebound armament . I will consider it only if he ‘upgrades’ me again once or twice . ”

“Once or two?” Seeker retorted, “You stubborn idiot, you’re greedier than I am! You think Bai Yunfei can upgrade you so easily?! Without those Guaranteed Upgrade Stone you’re stuck! The Core Stone is still +12! But go ahead and let Bai Yunfei try if you’re not scared of dying! Don’t cry to us if you break!”

“Haha, stop arguing . A soulbound armament is fine . I’ll think about it if I get another +13 Guaranteed Upgrade Stone . ” Bai Yunfei smiled, “Let’s override that seal first . ”

Concentrating again, Bai Yunfei focused his mind and entered the Soul Seeker’s Mirror’s consciousness .

Unlike last time, Bai Yunfei was more compatible with the Soul Seeker’s Mirror and was now able to remove the seal . He effortlessly reached the area and began to ‘assault’ it .

This wasn’t the first time Bai Yunfei overrode a seal before, but Wu Hao had a higher level of compatibility with it than any other . Regardless, Bai Yunfei felt no resistance from it nor Seeker and had an easy time getting rid of Wu Hao’s seal .

After agreeing with Seeker, Bai Yunfei managed to raise his compatibility with it up to 70% and turned it into a soulbound armament!
