Chapter 924: The Emergence of Nirvana!

The Precious Brilliance Space.

Xia Fei placed the soul device, the Blood Crystal, the Bloodscale Wisdomtail, and the Darknight Illusion Pearl together. He had prepared these as the foundation to reforge the fiendish blade!

Radix said, “The soul device Hosu left consists of three overlapping epochs, so the most it can integrate is three items. Are you sure about these three?”

Xia Fei nodded. “The Blood Crystal has a bloodthirsty attribute and is the strongest weapon in my possession. The Bloodscale Wisdomtail can strengthen my control over the weapon after the integration, making it steady, accurate, and vicious all in one. As for the Darknight Illusion Pearl, it came from a Dark lifeform; those bizarrely shaped creatures are very powerful. I wish to borrow their strength so that the Blood Crystal will have the greatest advantage possible when dealing with Dark lifeforms.

Radix replied, “This is a very good idea, but there’s one thing I must warn you about. Hosu left this soul device, so I don’t know how he designed it. In other words, the Blood Crystal may be modified into something completely different from before.”

Xia Fei answered, “I understand all that. I just care about one thing: Will the Blood Crystal be stronger after being modified?”

Radix very earnestly replied, “That’s a certainty! I can guarantee that with my head on the line!”

Xia Fei chuckled. “You’re a soul, so where is this head coming from? Still, since it can make the Blood Crystal stronger, I naturally won’t refuse!”

…

Following Radix’s instructions, Xia Fei placed the Blood Crystal, the Bloodscale Wisdomtail, and the Darknight Illusion Pearl onto the three layers of the soul device. Meanwhile, the microchip containing Radix was placed in a special instrument at the very top.

“This is enough. Once you activate the soul device, I can take over from there,” Radix sternly said.

*Whoosh!*

Xia Fei swept a small knife across his left thumb, squeezing out a drop of blood. He let the blood drip into a small impression at the very top of the soul device. This was a life marker that could ensure that the Soul-devouring Divine Weapon would be Xia Fei’s once it emerged, and that no one else being able to claim ownership over it.

Xia Fei then lightly pressed a button on the side of the soul device, and the divine weapon crafting process began!

*Whoosh~*

There was a white flash of light as Radix’s soul was drawn into the soul device!

Radix had had many connections with Xia Fei, so this action caused Xia Fei’s head to ache a lot, as if it had been suddenly emptied. That microchip also became lifeless. Radix was now in the soul device! Using methods that Xia Fei did not understand to control it!

*Rumble!*

The soul device activated with impressive grandeur, erupting with brilliant and multicolored rays of light, making the mysterious soul device even more wondrous!

Fortunately, this was in the Precious Brilliance Space. If this were outside, such a grand display would undoubtedly cause a great turmoil!

Several seconds passed, and then the Blood Crystal, Bloodscale Wisdomtail, and Darknight Illusion Pearl all disappeared!

The soul device began to spin like a flying saucer as it fused all the items together!

…

The soul device’s integration process lasted all the way until dawn. Everything else had disappeared, and what was before Xia Fei was a berserk blade of wind and fire!

It was described as such primarily because of its savage appearance! The Blood Crystal had been very inconspicuous, but this blade was like the lightning and thunder of the nine heavens! It had the cutting harshness of the wind and the violent temper of fire! Rather than a work of man, it seemed like a divine work that had been born from nature!

It was a cross-shaped blade of the highest caliber! It had neither a hilt nor any dull edge. The blade was peerlessly sharp! Any portion could take a human life!

Xia Fei was amazed! He had never imagined that the Blood Crystal would come out as such a bizarre cross-shaped blade!

It was a four-sided blade with eight peerlessly sharp edges. Besides that, it had now countless short barbs and several grooves, through which blood could flow. This was a blade that went beyond the limits of human imagination!

Too brash! Too flashy! Too insane!

As Xia Fei gawked at the blade, the cross-shaped blade began to speak.

“Xia Fei, we succeeded! The Soul-devouring Divine Weapon is complete, and I’ve received the information Hosu left for me!” Radix sounded very excited, though he also seemed rather weak. Perhaps the divine weapon crafting process had consumed a great deal of his essence.

Xia Fei recovered from his shock and softly asked, “Forget about that for now. Are you okay?”

Xia Fei’s first question was not about what information Hosu had left but rather about Radix’s well-being? Radix appreciated this, and he felt like becoming Xia Fei’s divine weapon had not been the wrong choice.

Radix chuckled. “I’m fine. The soul device is the best home for immortal souls like me. Moreover, this soul device was made by Honu! He used some of the energy and remnants he picked up from the Ark’s explosion! Its grade is as high as the heavens!

“While I have become weak from controlling it, if you give me a little more time, I will be able to make a full recovery, even becoming much stronger than before! Recovering my memories isn’t an impossibility, too!”

As Radix spoke, blurry figures appeared in Xia Fei’s brain region, as if he was really talking with Radix. This was because their lives were bound together. Xia Fei’s drop of blood had bound him to the Blood Crystal, and Radix was inside the Blood Crystal, so they naturally shared a close connection.

Xia Fei was brimming with confidence after hearing all this, and he seemed very happy. Modifying the Blood Crystal had turned out even better than he hoped!

Suddenly—

The Blood Crystal, which had been converted into a Soul-devouring Divine Weapon, flew into the air. Like a flying wheel of wind and fire, it made a few slashes through the air!

*Whoosh whoosh!*

The mournful gusts created by a few random swings from the Blood Crystal brimmed with bone-chilling killing intent!

“Look! This is when I’m controlling the Blood Crystal! Even if you are fighting a strong enemy and are too busy to control the Blood Crystal, I can help you control it! You just need to use your mind to tell me who you should kill, and I will choose how to kill them.

“Of course, in normal circumstances, it’s better if you’re still the one controlling it. After all, you’re a speed-type warrior, possessing otherworldly reaction time. I can’t compare to you in that aspect,” Radix excitedly said.

Xia Fei thought it over and replied, “The Blood Crystal has become a Soul-devouring Divine Weapon, so does it have any other abilities?”

Radix was startled, and then he awkwardly said, “I was so excited that I forgot to tell you the most important part. The Blood Crystal is no longer a divine weapon! Rather, it’s a god-killing fiend weapon!”

“A god-killing fiend weapon?!” Xia Fei was stunned by this revelation.

“Correct! A superweapon that can kill any gods or demons that stand in your way! The Blood Crystal was only able to kill a single person and make it impossible for them to reincarnate, but now, it can also seize their souls!”

Radix explained with gusto, “Souls aren’t usually seen, but they really do exist. Phantom and I are both souls, possessing consciousnesses even without bodies. After Hosu died, his soul didn’t dissipate and he was even able to rebuild his body! These are all special properties of souls.

“If you encounter a freakish expert like Hosu, killing them won’t be enough, as once they rebuild their bodies, they’ll immediately try to take revenge, but the Blood Crystal can now exterminate their souls! Wiping them from the universe in both body and soul! If this isn’t a god-killing fiend weapon, what is?

“The Blood Crystal is an expert’s worst nightmare! Anyone killed by this fiendish blade will never be able to revive!”

Xia Fei’s eyes glinted in excitement!

When fighting with experts, the greatest fear was an inability to uproot them completely. If they were allowed to escape, the counterattack was bound to be terrifying.

However, the Blood Crystal could utterly exterminate a person, wiping them from the face of the universe! This was heaven-defyingly strong! The blade was merciless, sparing neither life nor soul!

Radix pointed at the bulge in the center of the Blood Crystal. “This is where the Blood Crystal stores souls and energy. All of the enemies it kills will be completely refined and stored here. When the time is ripe, the Blood Crystal will continue to evolve and change! Ultimately, it will become the craziest existence in the universe!”

Xia Fei nodded. He gently stroked the surface of the Blood Crystal with two fingers. It was cold to touch, but not to the extent that it made him shiver.

“What level of weapon is the Blood Crystal now?” Xia Fei asked.

Radix smiled. “This is the universe’s only Soul-devouring Divine Weapon! What level do you think it is?”

…

The Blood Crystal had become a unique existence in the universe, and Xia Fei was ecstatic!

This was not a question of level. Nothing could compare it!

The Blood Crystal stood alone!

Once he finally managed to calm himself down, Xia Fei asked, “So what was the information Hosu left you?”

Radix sighed. “Hosu has had a rather hard time. It turns out that he passed through the Cosmic Gate on a mission for his clan. Alas, the enemy pursuit led into his body being destroyed, and he needed so much time to rebuild his body that the mission failed. Hosu was very dejected and criticized himself a lot.

“He doesn’t know that I lost some of my memories, so he didn’t go into too much detail, but I managed to glean some useful information from it. For example, the Ark had something that was very important to Hosu and his clan, and it was lost in the explosion.

“Hosu needed a very long time to rebuild his body, so he didn’t have time to wait for me. He decided to search the sea of stars by himself. He’s a warrior so completing his mission is his duty. Although the mission has already failed, Hosu is still determined to salvage it.”

Xia Fei nodded. “Then it means that Hosu might come back at any time, but because he’s anxiously looking for something, he might have gone to the ends of the universe to look for it.”

Radix replied, “Exactly. He’s someone who values the mission even more than his life. The information he left also contained bits about the Cosmic Gate. It turns out the Hosu predicted that Cosmic Gate becoming unstable after many years; he warned me that beyond the gate is hell for both me and him, that unless it was absolutely necessary, I was never to get close to it, and that he will try to get back before the Cosmic Gate is pushed open.”

Xia Fei said nothing. Hosu and Radix had enemies outside the Cosmic Gate, so Hongsu naturally was unwilling to get close to the Cosmic Gate. As for him saying that he would try to get back as soon as possible, Xia Fei was very curious. Where had he gone that a round trip would take hundreds of millions of years?

Radix now stared at the Blood Crystal and said, “The Soul-devouring Divine Weapon has emerged into the universe! It’s no longer right to call it the Blood Crystal. You should give it a new name.”

The Blood Crystal did not seem like an exquisite crystal at all, and when the cross blade was fully unfolded, it was even taller than Xia Fei! Radix’s words made sense.

After some thought, Xia Fei said, “Then let’s call it Nirvana.”

Radix was taken aback by the name, and then he muttered, “Everything the blade’s edge touches experiences nirvana! Never to be reborn! An excellent name!”
