Chapter 549: Hell Sword Lord! Unparalleled Power!
Chapter 549: Hell Sword Lord! Unparalleled Power!
What an awe-inspiring scene unfolded before them? Even Bai Hu, with his vast experience, was left in awe, his energy slightly disturbed by the spectacle.
Countless undead, including the Holy Spirit Rank Supreme Evil Spirit Sword at the forefront, all assumed an unimaginable humble posture, crawling directly on the ground in their various forms, displaying the utmost reverence and subservience.
And the king they worshipped was none other than the figure who had just emerged from his evolution: Qian Yi!
Qian Yi held the pitch-black Death Sword, his ash-gray body seemingly infused with the purest undead energy, like a paper figure coated in silver lead, resembling the Dark Night Monarch.
Even Su Ping couldn't help but blink at the sight of his own companion beast.
Was this still his nerdy little origami figure? Even the Holy Spirit Rank undead couldn't help but submit to him?
That Supreme Evil Spirit Sword,
One of the most feared Holy Spirit Rank beings, even Cold Grandpa held it in high regard.
Su Ping took this opportunity to finally see the true nature of this being.
This sword was about three meters long.
The massive blade curved irregularly.
It resembled a long snake in its evolution.
At the junction of the blade and the hilt, a blood-red vertical pupil emitted an eerie red light.
The sword's body was painted with an evil and mysterious aura.
Indeed, it lived up to its name as the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword.
However, even so, the sword remained reverently subservient.
Su Ping couldn't help but look at Qian Yi again, activating his Spirit Vision and Soul Pact to 'see' the changes in Qian Yi after his evolution:
【Hell Sword Lord (Contracted) (Age: 15 years, 5 months, 17 days)】
【Attributes: Sword, Undead, Death】
【Current Level: Emperor Rank Tier 3】
【Race Potential: Legend Rank Tier 3】
【Skills: Super Elemental Heart (Mastery), Super Heavenly Cycle Pentagram Body (Mastery), Super Sword Dao Incarnation (Mastery), Golden Spear Technique (Transcendence), Super Death Sword Lord (Proficiency), Super Death Sword Domain (Beginner), Super Death Mark (Special), King of Origami (Perfection), Sword Technique Strategy.】
Even though Su Ping was fully prepared, he never expected Qian Yi's evolution to surpass all his expectations.
Not to mention the race potential, which could be described as 'unheard of'.
If his memory served him right, he clearly recalled that Saint Dragon Legend had once said that the evolutionary potential of companion beasts was limited to the Holy Spirit Peak.
This was a widely acknowledged fact among breeders.
Only by reaching the Holy Spirit Peak and mastering skills to the level of transcendence, along with comprehending the corresponding rules, could one break through and attain the Legend Rank race potential.
The Half-Legend Ice Dragon King was a prime example of this.
However, at this moment, having completed his evolution, Qian Yi's race potential had already reached the threshold for promotion to Legend Rank.
Su Ping had never witnessed such a situation, except for the unique case of his little flame companion.
Moreover, this companion beast was one that Su Ping had bred himself. Of course, Su Ping's contribution was minimal; even the two Holy Spirit Rank resources and the evolution method he provided were merely a form of assistance. The most crucial factor was undoubtedly the Death Sword itself! Did this mean that during his evolution, Qian Yi had grasped the rules and attained transcendence in all skills except for the Golden Spear Technique, thereby unlocking the power to break through the Holy Spirit Peak and reach Legend Rank Tier 3 in race potential?
Su Ping focused his attention on Qian Yi's extremely concise yet extravagantly powerful racial skills.
The first four skills need no introduction, as they were the core skills that Su Ping had personally bred into Qian Yi, and after this evolution, Qian Yi had completely mastered them.
【Super Death Sword Lord (Proficiency): The wielder of the Death Sword, symbolizing the totem of undead and sword-type companion beasts, possesses an exalted status among undead and sword-type companions.
Sword Lord: The majority of undead, death-attributed, and sword-type companion beasts will be influenced and subconsciously controlled by the Death Sword Lord, obeying its commands to a certain extent. Among the controlled beasts, the stronger the combined attributes of these three types, the more potent the effect.
Soul Reaping: All living beings slain by the Death Sword can be completely transformed into sword souls, absorbed by the Sword Lord, enhancing their strength without any side effects.
Death: Can freely transform between the 'Sword Wielder' form and the 'Divine Sword' form.
In the Sword Wielder form, all sword-type skills gain a 'death' effect bonus.
In the Divine Sword form, immune to all non-self-transcending spatial, mental, elemental, light, and physical attacks and skill effects, absorbing undead and death-attributed attacks, gaining the skills 'Death Sword Aura', 'Soul Sword', and 'Sword Intent Pressure' with 'Transcendent' level effects.
Ranked Skill!
Su Ping once again laid eyes on this skill.
The majestic Wolf King of Old Sha and the Poison King bred from the Five Poison Cauldron had made Su Ping aware of the unique skill of the beastly race, the Rank Skill, and its most unreasonable ability.
However, today, Su Ping witnessed this skill again, and whether it was the Wolf King's Majesty or the Poison King, compared to this 'Death Sword Master', they were not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
This Ranked Skill not only influenced the three major types of companion beasts, but also allowed them to be controlled.
Undoubtedly, all the undead shadows that surrounded them were affected by this skill.
However, this 'Ranked Skill' was just one of its effects, and in Su Ping's opinion, it was likely one of the less significant skills!
What were the other two effects?
The Soul-Stealing effect was self-explanatory; killing enemies and absorbing souls to rapidly increase one's realm. If one could continue slaughtering, Qian Yi's realm would quickly rise.
As for the Sword Wielder and Divine Sword Forms?
The former was equally terrifying, with its instant death effect being the primary reason death-aligned companion beasts were feared.
The latter had already demonstrated its invincibility within the current realm, and even more so, invincibility was just the minimum requirement.
Su Ping couldn't believe that all attacks in the current realm were completely immune, not even the attacks of the Holy Spirit rank.
Of course, there were other attacks that could restrain the Divine Sword Form, but time and life-aligned abilities seemed to have no effect? Still, this was terrifying enough.
The former was incredibly rare, with few offensive abilities, and the latter had almost no direct attack skills.
Not to mention, in the Divine Sword Form, there were three unrelated skills, and they were all at an advanced level. Clearly, this skill was the main reason for the potential of a thousand races.
Was the Mythic Rank evolution material really this overpowered?
Su Ping was perplexed and looked at Qian Yi's next skill:
【Super Death Sword Domain (Entry): The Death Sword itself forms a small world sanctuary, which can be summoned at any time for combat, with unimaginable effects.
Sword Grave: All those slain by the Hell Sword Master can be freely transformed into 'Sword Puppets' and 'Sword Ghosts', with their strength weakened based on their previous lives but possessing death-aligned attacks.
Sword Tomb: All swords can be incorporated, with their strength weakened based on their previous lives but possessing all sword technique skills of the Sword Master.
Death Sword Domain: All other living energies cannot naturally recover, and when the Hell Sword Master is in the Sword Wielder Form, their energy and that of all Sword Puppets and Sword Ghosts within the domain recover infinitely. When the Hell Sword Master is in the Death God Sword Form, all Sword Tomb swords, including themselves, gain 'Infinite Teleportation' within the Death Sword Domain.】
(Note: After the Death Sword Master's Soul-Stealing effect is activated, those slain cannot be transformed into 'Sword Ghosts'.)
Silence.
Su Ping fell silent once more.
For the first time, he suddenly felt that the profession of a breeder was insignificant.
Sometimes, no matter how much effort and external help was used, the top-tier skills bred were still inferior to the racial skills mastered by companion beasts after their corresponding evolution.
What was all this about?
This Death Sword Domain, from any angle, was significantly stronger than the Hall Rank undead domain skill 'Undead Death Domain' that Charles had bred.
Moreover, it wasn't just about enhancing groups on the battlefield.
The strengthening of Qian Yi's own power was also extremely impressive.
Not to mention the transformation of Sword Puppets and Sword Ghosts, which Su Ping hadn't witnessed yet, so he wouldn't discuss it for now.
Just the concept of gaining infinite teleportation within the Death Sword Domain, under the Divine Sword Form, was astonishing.
Su Ping didn't know.
But now, he didn't even dare to let Qian Yi seek out a familiar Holy Spirit rank existence for a spar; he was afraid.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liushujiuba~~
What if, by accident, Qian Yi's powerful companion beast slaughtered his respected senior's Holy Spirit rank companion beast? This was no exaggeration!
However, this didn't make Su Ping feel proud.
On the contrary, after witnessing Qian Yi's strength, Su Ping understood just how powerful the 'God of the Dead' that Charles spoke of was.
Just the weapon he held, or perhaps the remnants of his body's power, was enough to bring Qian Yi to such heights.
Then, what kind of ultimate existence was the complete 'God of the Dead'?
He didn't know.
It was also hard to imagine.
He remained silent, his gaze turning to the third Super-Tier racial skill that Qian Yi had manifested.
However, this skill also confirmed his speculation:
【Super Death Mark (Special): The manifestation of the rules of death, is death itself. It can observe the 'Death Mark' of any living being, and as long as this mark is hit in any way, the being will die irreversibly, disregarding their cultivation level.】
(Note: This skill is special because the power of the rules of death is not complete, and thus cannot be enhanced, nor is it fully formed.)
This is just a simple effect, but from it, Su Ping already understood the depth of the Death God's mastery over death.
Moreover, Su Ping had even more reason to speculate that the fundamental level of this skill, and even its nature, was similar to the 'Southern Blaze' of the legendary Fire God Zhuque.
It was no longer a skill, at least not within the realm of Super-Tier skills.
However, the evolution and fusion Qian Yi had undergone was, in the end, still that Death Sword, and the power originally belonging to its sword body, the complete mark of the Death God, had already become nourishment for the All Spirit Compendium.
Therefore, unless Qian Yi himself could further enhance and comprehend it, this skill would remain as it was for the rest of his life.
Nevertheless, Su Ping was content.
He was truly satisfied.
Although, as an evolution of this level, the scarcity of racial skills was pitiful, these three skills were worth a hundred ordinary skills combined.
Not to mention, there was also the perfect-tier skill that integrated all the traits of the origami figurine:
【King of Origami (Perfect): Evolving with the body of an origami figurine, including the ability to transform the body into paper, absolute authority and control over origami figurine companion beasts, and the ability to infuse one's power into other origami figurines, greatly enhancing the power of corresponding origami companion beasts!】
This skill needs no explanation; Qian Yi's previous paper body control and paper folding techniques were all integrated within it.
Alas, the limit of the origami figurine was just so, and even with this, it did not evolve into a Super-Tier skill.
However, this was not a problem, and Su Ping could even feel that the current Qian Yi still retained the paper-like quality of his body.
But Qian Yi's state was extremely special; his soul had fused with the Death Sword, and under the evolution of the Death Sword, his soul power and paper body merged, forming a body that was neither flesh nor matter, yet still retained the paper-like quality of his physical changes.
This was also the main reason why Qian Yi could transform into both a sword wielder and a sword ghost in the Super-Tier racial skill 'Death Sword Master'.
Not to mention, if it weren't for the paper-like quality, the Heavenly Cycle Five Elements Body might not have been able to advance to the Proficiency level, let alone whether it could be retained.
In addition to these changes, Su Ping soon discovered another major transformation.
Qian Yi's cultivation before evolution, which involved compressing the Five Elements Heart with the Heavenly Cycle Five Elements Body into his body, was also achieved through the paper body compression method.
Therefore, Qian Yi's Elements Heart initially only had the elements of gold, wood, water, and fire.
However, after this evolution, Su Ping clearly saw that within the Elements Heart, among the elements Qian Yi controlled, there was an additional Death Heart.
This was probably why the Elements Heart had also advanced to the Proficiency level. Understanding these things, Su Ping let out a long sigh, then looked at Qian Yi with a hint of bewilderment.
The current Qian Yi was too powerful.
The intensity of this evolution had far exceeded his expectations.
For the first time, Su Ping felt a sense of strangeness towards his own companion beast.
He was now a little afraid.
He feared that there might be Death God marks left in the Death Sword that his soul had not discovered and completely absorbed, and that these marks might affect Qian Yi, causing him to become unfamiliar, gradually losing his original self, and becoming another strange 'Death God'?
Amidst his worries, Qian Yi seemed to have finally digested the power of his evolution, turning to look at all the beings around him who were staring at him.
Especially after the countless undead armies formed a semicircle on the outskirts, he was first startled, then looked at the dark fog surrounding him, and the Heavenly Tomb behind him, finally understanding the situation.
He thought for a moment, then slowly raised the Death Sword in his hand, and 'coldly' said:
"Wuwah! (I have received your reverence!)"
"Wuwah! (All beings will eventually rest in eternal slumber, and death and the night shall be under my command!)"
"Wuwah! (Those who recite my true name, 'Qian Yi', will live forever in my sword domain!)"
Looking at the familiar 2D-style face, still grayish-black, and the familiar spiritual expression, Su Ping put aside all his worries and nodded.
Yep, it was still that little thing.
