Chapter 469: Transcendent Rank-2, Dragon Soul Saber!

Ji Ye decided to enhance his soul-related power.

Strictly speaking, yakshas were ghost-like creatures. Unlike the Soul race, not only were they physically strong, but they also had some unique ways to attack the soul.

For instance, both the Retribution Fire Trident and the Enchanting Chain of the previous yaksha king were a threat to Ji Ye.

Especially the chain. If the Soul Mask hadn’t been dragged out instead of his own soul, Ji Ye’s life would be in danger.

Based on Li Qing’s information, there were two Transcendent yaksha kings left, and one Soul Mask obviously wouldn’t be enough. The ultimate solution was to raise his soul to the Transcendent level.

However, unlike the training of his physical body and his mental force, he had mainly relied on the Totem Wolf Skin for the transformation of the soul power. He didn’t have a direct method to train his soul. Therefore, the quickest way to enhance his soul lay in Fusion.

As for what to fuse, Ji Ye had a lot of objects that involved the soul.

Extraordinary objects aside, for Special objects alone, there were the Totem Wolf Skin, the Soul Cutter, the Soul Staff, and the Soul Prisoner’s Mask. There were also the Transcendent Retribution Fire Trident, the Enchanting Chain, and the Devil’s Parchment.

“Come to think of it, I have a little too many types of soul-related equipment. Even with the Void Ring, I can’t switch between them quickly enough in a battle,” Ji Ye thought.

Storing things in the Void Ring would constantly consume energy. If there were too many things in it, Ji Ye wouldn’t need to worry if he was fighting an ordinary enemy, but if the opponent was of his own level or even higher, the tiniest amount of burden might change the result of the battle.

“Apart from the Retribution Fire Trident, I’ll fuse everything else together.”

Ji Ye soon made a decision.

The Retribution Fire Trident was going to be left behind because it was a unique weapon. It could set the enemy’s soul on fire.

If it was fused with other soul-related items, they might not be compatible.

“Fuse!”

Ji Ye took the Soul Staff, the Enchanting Chain, and the Totem Wolf Skin out of the Void Ring. The Soul Cutter and the Soul Mask also emerged.

They were all covered by a silver-white light.

Clang!

This time, the Fusion lasted for an entire day.

When Ji Ye opened his eyes again, there was a saber in front of him. The silver light was gone, revealing a weapon that resembled the original Soul Cutter but was 30% longer. The 1.5m semi-transparent blade was black, and there was the faint image of a wolf hidden under the surface. The hilt was long enough to be held by both hands, and a semi-tangible Enchanting Chain wrapped around it.

[Untitled]

[Level: Transcendent Rank-2]

[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]

[Description: In the process of combining the five weapons together, some qualitative change took place, and an advanced weapon was created.]

It was a Transcendent Rank-2 weapon.

Although it was only Superior and not Perfect, there was a great difference between a Transcendent Rank-2 item and a Rank-1 one.

In fact, the evaluation of items of the Transcendent level and above depended on both the quantity and the quality. Either factor could lead to an improvement in the level of the object.

But the gap between the two levels was huge. In terms of its value, a Transcendent Rank-1 object was less valuable than a Transcendent Rank-1 creature.

But a Transcendent Rank-2 treasure was definitely as valuable as a Transcendent Rank-1 being, if not better.

Whoosh!

Ji Ye reached out.

He held the Soul Cutter with both hands. The weapon was about the same length as the original Black Serpent Sword.

He then slashed down at a war spoil that resembled a vase.

Pew!

The thin, sharp blade ran through the vase, but the vase remained intact.

Because the saber in Ji Ye’s hands had turned from black to a semi-transparent state.

That was the saber’s first ability—Intangible.

The entire saber could switch between tangible and intangible states.

This attribute certainly came from the original Soul Cutter and the Enchanting Chain and had been enhanced to an extent.

Now, both the chain and the saber could directly take away or kill the enemy’s soul.

Besides, since it could become intangible, just like before, the saber could be hidden inside his body and taken out in the battle.

That was the first attribute.

Then, Ji Ye turned his hand and injected his soul power into the rune chain around the hilt of the saber.

Splash!

It glowed and began to change and extend.

In a matter of seconds, dozens of enchanting chains appeared in the vault, and the total length was over 100m.

Roar!

The Soul Alpha Wolf was linked to the tip of a few of the chains. It gave off an Extraordinary Rank-8 soul power, and the red light in its eyes looked like flames.

That was the second ability of the saber—Chain of Soul.

A great number of chains could extend from the saber. The chains could seal the soul of a living creature and absorb soul power to enhance their own capability.

Ji Ye could also use the chains to control the “subdued” souls and use them in battle.

Of course, the level of the target’s soul couldn’t exceed the upper limit of the Soul Cutter.

Moreover, the total energy of the chained souls had to be within the Soul Cutter’s control power.

Even so, the weapon was already formidable enough.

With this Transcendent Rank-2 Soul Cutter, Ji Ye could kill some creatures with soul attributes before enslaving their souls and turning them into his own combat capability.

Because the saber had been fused with the Totem Wolf Skin and the Soul Staff, the enslaved souls could regain their shapes even after they were killed in the battle.

But when that happened, the souls would lose their intelligence and become something like the Soul Alpha Wolf. Ji Ye would then need to use his mental power to operate them.

Of course, it wouldn’t be so easy to kill these “soul servants”.

Because the saber could retrieve the chained souls and store them.

Splash!

Ji Ye’s wrist turned again.

The runes on the five chains wrapped around the Soul Alpha Wolf lit up, and the wolf quickly stopped exerting its soul power. It shrank until it was pulled back into the saber and became the hidden wolf engraving again.

The third ability came entirely from the Soul Staff of the Lich.

Both the blade and the chain contained the Soul Virus. Once the attack took effect, the target would be infected. It could affect everything below the Transcendent level and could create excruciating pain to even the soul. It was a great way to subdue the targets that had been chained up.

As for the fourth ability…

Hum!

Ji Ye cut his finger with the Soul Cutter and tainted the blade with his Transcendent-level blood.

He then threw the saber out.

The Soul Cutter quickly amplified in the air. In a few seconds, it turned into a 10m long black dragon with blood-red eyes.

Was it the ability of the Eye Painting Brush?

Strictly speaking, no. It came from the ability that used to belong to the Soul Mask.

During the advancement to the Transcendent level, he had let the Soul Mask be modified by the Legendary True Blood instead of himself. The mask then took the shape of the Dragon Soul.

That attribute had been retained and greatly enhanced.

“Roar!”

The dragon roared again, and the Soul Alpha Wolf charged out of the dragon-shaped saber.

But as it charged out, it quickly turned from a wolf to a dragon.

It looked similar to the time when Ji Ye used Blood Sacrifice to turn the Totem Wolf Skin into a Flood Dragon Wolf King, only this time, the transformation was more complete. The Soul Alpha Wolf had almost turned into a Soul Alpha Dragon.

The weapon was Transcendent Rank-2 because it could gradually turn the chained souls into the aggressive Dragon Soul.

It meant that if Ji Ye wanted, theoretically, he could release hundreds of Dragon Souls with one wave of the saber and cover the entire battlefield.

“Shall I call the saber Hundred Dragon Soul, then?”

That was an understatement.

In fact, if it went on making advancement, the saber might be able to control thousands and even tens of thousands of souls. By then, Ji Ye might not need to control the souls himself. He could simply throw out the saber, and the enemy settlement would surrender.

And since he had a Dragon Soul Saber now, he decided that he would fuse a Transcendent Dragon Blood Sword next.

The material for the Fusion would come from the Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Mystic Ice in the Dragon Peak that contained a tiny amount of True Dragon blood.
