Background/History

The Seven Kills Sword is introduced as a powerful offensive Tool Martial Soul 1. It is historically associated with Sword Douluo Chen Xin, a prominent figure from 10,000 years ago 2 4 9. Following the events of 10,000 years prior, the Seven Kills Sword Martial Soul had seemingly disappeared, with very few individuals knowing or having heard of it 2.

Upon its re-emergence through Chen Junting's awakening, its significance is immediately recognized by powerful figures such as Ye Xuanji, the Chief Grand Elder of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect 4. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, which Chen Xin was also affiliated with, holds a specific Soul Ring configuration for the Seven Kills Sword, meticulously selected and improved over millennia 4. The inherent advantage of the Seven Kills Sword Martial Soul is its innate Sword Momentum 9. Historically, ancestor Chen Xin transformed his Sword Momentum into the Seven Kills Domain upon becoming a Titled Douluo 9. The fundamental essence of the Seven Kills Sword is deeply rooted in the concept of "kill" 598.

The Seven Kills Sword also serves as a crucial component in the forging of divine artifacts. Chen Junting utilizes his Martial Soul as a mold to create the body of a divine artifact, specifically the Immortal Slaying Sword, and subsequently the other three of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords 599 600.

Physical Description/Appearance

The Seven Kills Sword is described as an extraordinary long sword 1. When manifested by Chen Junting, it typically features a crystal-clear blue blade 58. It can shimmer with one yellow and two purple five-pointed stars 58. Its appearance is often likened to being carved from crystal 104.

When Chen Junting merges with it or activates certain abilities, a phantom image of the Seven Kills Sword can shoot up from behind him, displaying magnificent patterns 218. This phantom can be colossal and appear dreamlike, sometimes accompanied by movements resembling a dragon and a phoenix 219. Despite being a Martial Soul, it is not entirely illusory; under Chen Junting's comprehension and cultivation, it becomes incredibly solid, a manifestation of his spiritual will, sword dao, and Martial Soul comprehension 599.

When used as a mold for forging, the original phantom Seven Kills Sword Martial Soul can be completely filled by golden divine refined molten metal, transforming into a quasi-divine artifact with a tangible sword embryo 599. After being imbued with Immortal Slaying Sword Intent, its luster recedes, replaced by a deep purple hue that seems to absorb all light. A thread-like bloodline appears along its edge, and an ancient, mysterious "Execution" seal emanates from its hilt 600. In its ultimate form as part of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, it can appear five-colored 558.

Abilities/Powers/Skills

The Seven Kills Sword is inherently a powerful offensive tool 1. Its core abilities revolve around swordsmanship and various forms of "Sword Intent" and "Domain."

Inherent Traits & Basic Manifestations

• Innate Sword Momentum: Unlike other sword Martial Souls that require postnatal cultivation, the Seven Kills Sword possesses innate Sword Momentum 9. This momentum can be guided by spiritual power and intertwined with external killing intent, tempering it 166.
• Sword Qi: It can emit sword qi as a direct attack 4 58. This sword qi can be sharp enough to cause an opponent to feel its sharpness even before contact 58. It can also be etched into a fine sword net 58.
• Killing Intent: The sword's edge can be enveloped in a chilling aura of killing intent 58. This killing intent can be so potent that it can cause an indescribable aura to explode, momentarily halting an opponent's attack 59. Killing intent and sword qi can intertwine to form a giant "Kill" character 30.
• Domain: Once Sword Momentum reaches a certain level, it can transform into a Domain 9. The Seven Kills Domain is an intangible, colorless airflow that signifies a new level of mastery 166.
• Man-Sword Unity (Body-Sword Unity): The wielder can completely merge with the Seven Kills Sword, where their presence seems to disappear, and their essence, energy, and spirit merge into the sword 63 218.

Advanced Techniques & Soul Skills

• "Kill" Character Technique: Six powerful sword lights can draw a large "kill" character in front of the wielder 63. This character can be rendered in black and sweep along an opponent's soul power, turning it against them 30.
• Sword Domain Raging Waves (Fourth Soul Skill): This skill manifests as a colossal sword descending from the sky, accompanied by ten thousand other sharp swords slicing through the air 138.
• Holy Flame Absorption: The Seven Kills Sword can absorb overflowing holy flames from an opponent's attack and turn them into its own power 141.
• Sword Shattering: It possesses the power to shatter other weapons, such as the Sacred Twin Swords 141.
• Airflow Vortex: The sword can gather airflow in mid-air to form a massive vortex 141.
• "Thirteen Strings in a Cup, half a lifetime of wind and rain, all converge into one sword!": This technique involves thirteen clear blue sword energies converging in the air to form a dazzling sword beam capable of tearing through obstacles 141.
• Seven Kills Domain & Sword Intent of Slaughter: The wielder can awaken and master these, providing a unique environment for cultivation and combat 166.
• "Sword Dao: Junting": A technique that projects an unparalleled aura of arrogance, with dragon and phoenix movements attached to the sword's phantom 219. It is a perfected form of a previously rough draft 535.
• Sword Intents (Slaughter, Severance, Entrapment, Annihilation, Execution): The Seven Kills Sword is associated with various Sword Intents that can be merged and unleashed.
  • Slaughter, Severance, Entrapment: These can be merged, causing cracks in the air and severing all life 303.
  • Slaughter, Annihilation, Trap: These three great Sword Intents can materialize and envelop the sword, combined with the Power of Destruction 307.
  • Execution, Slaughter, Trap, Annihilation: These four great Sword Intents can be mobilized simultaneously 605.
• Seven Kills Myriad Swords: Soul Power can transform into countless swords, forming a vortex or tornado around the wielder 307.
• Giant Demon Phantom: A towering phantom of a giant demon with four long swords can appear behind the wielder 307.
• Seven Kills Avatar (Seventh Soul Skill): This is a powerful transformation where the wielder's Soul Body dissolves and merges into the sword, creating a Seven Kills Sword in its full glory. This state allows the wielder to break through to Super Douluo level, capable of splitting any Titled Douluo below Rank 95 321.
• Lightning Manipulation: The Seven Kills Avatar can be covered in lightning, turning the ground into an ocean of electricity and forming an electric cage around opponents 321.
• Heavy Sword Without Edge: A move from the Seven Kills Sword Art, capable of cleaving with immense force and sending opponents flying 360.
• Myriad Swords Materialization: Tens of thousands of swords can materialize in the void 360.
• Attribute Amplification: When amplified by the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's "Attribute" skill, the Seven Kills Sword can block attacks and cause black airflow to seep into the wielder's body, which can be countered by a wisp of gray light 412.
• Martial Soul Combination Skill: "End of Ten Thousand Bones, Breath of Heaven and Earth!": This powerful combination skill is formed with a Bone Dragon Martial Soul (Gu Tianchen's), where the Seven Kills Sword and skeletal bodies intertwine, sealing the surrounding space 414.
• Immortal Slaying Sword Formation: A powerful offensive array where four different colored lights transform into four killing swords. These are the Exterminate the Immortals Sword (destructive aura), Slaughtering Immortal Sword (blood-soaked, bone-chilling killing intent), Exterminate the Immortals Sword (chilling cold, silence), and Trapping Immortal Sword (myriad changes, no apparent killing intent) 484. The formation diagram slowly rotates, permeating with endless sword qi, killing intent, and karmic retribution 484. It can be wielded as a Weapon Soul True Body, where the four swords combine and link with the formation 487.
• Heaven and Earth Cleaving: It can create a thousand-meter sword aura that appears to cleave heaven and earth 535.
• Formation Breathing: The Seven Kills Sword's true form can "breathe" in unison with the Exterminate the Immortals Formation Diagram 558.

• Divine Artifact Forging: The Seven Kills Sword Martial Soul can be used as a mold to forge the body of a divine artifact. It can be filled with molten divine material, transforming into a quasi-divine artifact sword embryo 599. This embryo can then be imbued with Immortal Slaying Sword Intent to become a true divine sword 600.
