Chapter 758: Banished Immortal Against Banished Immortal
It was a blade hidden within a blade.
The shattered blade was not truly a blade but rather a sheath. Only when it broke did it reveal its true nature. At the spot where the blade should have been, there was nothing at all.
The Daoist Order simply could not mass-produce semi-immortal objects, but that did not mean they could not replicate them. Generally, to imitate a semi-immortal object, an immortal object was needed as a reference.
Yao Pei’s dagger was a semi-immortal object modeled after the immortal weapon, Moral Sovereign.
Moral Sovereign was once an honorific for the most revered Sages. It later became a title for the leaders of the Confucian School, and also the name of their sacred sword. After the Confucian School was defeated, they no longer had a leader named Moral Sovereign, and the sacred sword with the same name fell into the hands of the Daoist Order, becoming the exclusive weapon of the Grand Master. Having the Holy Xuan wield the Moral Sovereign symbolized the subjugation of the Confucian School to the Daoist Order.
This dagger, modeled after Moral Sovereign, was named Yield Sovereignty.
Its secret lay not in the blade, but in the hilt.
The hilt absorbed earth qi on its own and formed the blade from it. Thus, the blade had no fixed shape. Its length and size changed at will, entirely subject to the wielder’s intent.
Of all the earth qi in the mortal realm, the Northern Dragon’s was the strongest. Wuxing Mountain was not only one of its six key nodes, but also the place where the earth qi was most volatile.
By standing here, Yao Pei could unleash the full power of this semi-immortal blade. That was why the Heavenly Beings she faced earlier were wounded on contact and killed upon touch.
Now, Yao Pei released the final restraint on Yield Sovereignty, amplifying its power even further. This time, she did not aim just to injure but to kill with a single strike.
