This was the sword Li Fenghai favored to use in his battle against Bai Yunfei. The blade of the sword was silver as like any other sword, but feeding it soulforce turned the blade black and would exude a sinisterly dark light. Just looking at the sword when it was in such a state would give anyone the shivers. It was also stronger than Huang Shanâs orange spear by a good thousand and one hundred attack points, meaning it was on the higher end of the mid-heaven tier. This equipment would also become even more powerful when a dark-type soul cultivator used it.
It took Bai Yunfei some time for him to be able to upgrade it to +10.

âŠâŠ
âTwisting Nightmare status? Is that some sort of illusion-based effect?â Bai Yunfei wondered aloud when he read off the swordâs additional effect. Elemental darkness by itself had effects that could influence the cognition, so an effect like this was rather expected.
But for an effect to influence the mind that much and drop perception by a third was a little too strong. If the sword were to hit anyoneâeven if by just a scratchâand have its effect activated, the opponent would most likely try to run away.
And the sword had a terrifying attack power of 6700. This was Bai Yunfeiâs most powerful weapon to date.
If he was to exclude the swordâs additional effect, the sword by itself would be enough to render most defenses in front of him pointless. Even a piece of mid-heaven tier armor wouldnât be able to do much. The only thing thatâd be able to ward off this sword would be a high-heaven tier or Regalia.
Bai Yunfei wasnât very talented in using a longsword, but it was still a great boon to his repertoire. He resolved to use this sword for special circumstances like when he needed a trump card to kill someone.
The sword was stored into the Violet Soul Ring before Bai Yunfei took out a long piece of embroidered armor.
Equipment Grade: Mid Heaven
Elemental Affinity: Metal, Darkness
Defense: 4500
Equipment Effect: When an attack is blocked, convert and add the amount blocked to one's defenses for 1 minute. Amount converted is dependent when attacked and can be stacked. When stacked, the next stack cannot exceed 30% of the armor's defenses.
Upgrade Requirement: 250 Soulpoints
It took a while for Bai Yunfei to make sense of what this piece of armor had to offer.
The most important part was the âAmount converted is dependent when attacked and can be stackedâ. This meant that his defenses could be raised each time he was attacked, and multiple times too for one entire minute. By the wording, Bai Yunfei figured that this also meant if he had the effect stack, then the effect would disappear one stack at a time whenever 1 minute passed.
In other words, this piece of armor got stronger the more it was attacked.
This effect was broken.
Having an offensive and defensive soul armament like this made Bai Yunfei feel almost afraid of Li Fenghai. It was fortunate that he hadnât the opportunity to sample the devastating effects of both soul armaments when they fought. Had he been âfortunateâ enough, then the battle mightâve gone in ways Bai Yunfei hadnât accounted for.
Hypothetically speaking, his armor mightâve been able to ward off the black longsword if its effect activated. But thereâd be no way his Fire-tipped Spear wouldâve been able to pierce through this piece of armor.
If his battle with Li Fenghai hadnât taken place in the Core World, Bai Yunfeiâs victory would most definitely be left up to debateâŠ
Shivering a little at the thought, Bai Yunfei forced himself to think about upgrading the armor.

+10 Additional Effect: In exchange for soulforce, creating a devouring whirlpool of darkness that negates any elemental attack directed towards the user.
Cooldown of 10 minutes.
Upgrade Requirement: 250 Soulpoints
Glee appeared in Bai Yunfeiâs eyes once again when he saw the added effect, âNegate an elemental attack!? There are no other restrictions, soâŠdoes that mean it can negate any type of elemental attack?!
This was an obscenely powerful effect when put into application. The effect said he could negate any type of elemental attack aimed at him, so didnât that mean he could negate even the Dual Dragon Burst if it was aimed at him?! The wording had âdirected towards the userâ in it, so that probably meant elemental attacks with an area of effect range would probably not be able to be negated.
The consumption of soulforce for this type of effect was probably heavy, but he could always test it out on a later date to see just how heavy the consumption was anyhow.
Needless to say, Bai Yunfei would be retiring the gold-type armor he was wearing before in favor for this one.
âŠâŠ
Just these two soul armaments from Li Fenghai were enough to give Bai Yunfei a great deal of joy. Very much in a happy state now, Bai Yunfei took a small break to recover some of his soulforce.
While he rested, he continued to look through Li Fenghaiâs space ring.
Something caught his eye as he looked through the contents of the ring. Waving his right hand, Bai Yunfei withdrew a long dark-red piece of chains into his hands.
âThese areâŠâ Bai Yunfei muttered in slight surprise before using the Upgrade Technique to look at the stats.

âThe Devouring Chains!!â
Bai Yunfei exclaimed at once as soon as he saw the stats.
These chains were almost identical to the ones he got from Wu Shang when the two fought west from the Capital! But this one was a lot more powerful than the other one!
Waving his left hand, Bai Yunfei took out the Devouring Chains he got that time.

This was very clearly a low-heaven tier version of the Devouring Chains and was inferior to the one Li Fenghai had. Even as a +10 equipment, it was almost weaker than Li Fenghaiâs unupgraded Devouring Chains.
âThereâsâŠmore than just one Devouring Chains! Does that mean every important person in the Soul Refining School has one?? ThatâsâŠâ
Comparing the two chains in front of him left Bai Yunfei breathless. The effect of the Devouring Chains was already astounding, but the fact that there was a second one was even more so. Could soul armaments be âmass-producedâ?! Wasnât that just preposterous?!
âŠâŠ
Gathering his thoughts once more, Bai Yunfei decided to wait and see for when the second Devouring Chains was upgraded to +10.
