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.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect never ceased searching for both the Seven Kills Sword and Bone Dragon Martial Souls after their disappearance. Its renewed awakening in Chen Junting is therefore treated as a major event by the sect, which had even offered a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as a reward for relevant information 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,” a quality that makes it particularly suitable for condensing a slaughter-associated Divine Position 604.

Through Chen Junting's cultivation, the Seven Kills Sword progressively changes from an initially illusory Martial Soul into an increasingly solid manifestation of his spiritual will, sword dao, and Martial Soul comprehension 605. He ultimately uses it as the mold for forging the Four Swords of Extermination and later strips the Martial Soul into a true, tangible Seven Kills Sword 605 639. After Chen Junting ascends as the God of Order, the sword absorbs faith and evolves into the Transcendent Divine Artifact known as the Sword of Order, “Seven Kills,” embodying the authority of Order Judgment 668.

Physical Description/Appearance

The Seven Kills Sword is described as an extraordinary long sword 1. When first manifested by Chen Junting, it is a crystal-clear blue long sword, appearing as though carved from crystal 1 58 104. It can shimmer with one yellow and two purple five-pointed stars during Junting's early cultivation 58.

After gaining the Ultimate Gold attribute, the sword can radiate a sharp silver-white brilliance and a metallic aura capable of resonating with nearby Soul Tools 205. It can also take on a red-and-white appearance when Chen Junting gathers overwhelming killing momentum and power into the blade 541.

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 605.

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 605. After being imbued with Immortal Slaying Sword Intent, the resulting Immortal Slaying Sword's luster recedes into deep purple, with a bloodline-like edge and an ancient “Slay” seal at its guard 606.

After Chen Junting strips away the Martial Soul, the true Seven Kills Sword is a tangible, indestructible treasured blade measuring three feet and seven inches. Its body is silvery white, its killing intent is awe-inspiring, and “Seven Kills” is inscribed upon it 639. When it becomes the Sword of Order, its silver-white body turns noble gold under the infusion of faith, while the characters on its spine appear to come alive with the authority to judge all beings 668.

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, Domains, and increasingly divine sword-based authorities.

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.
  • Ultimate Gold: After resonating with the Mad King's power, the Seven Kills Sword acquires Ultimate Gold as a permanent attribute. Its sharpness becomes powerful enough to affect nearby metallic Soul Tools and vastly enhances its cutting ability 205.
  • Tangible Martial Soul: Chen Junting can strip the Seven Kills Sword from his body and manifest it as a genuine physical weapon rather than an illusory Martial Soul 639. It can subsequently return to his body and be divided into its spiritual, energy, and bloodline-derived aspects 641.

This state allows the wielder to break through to Super Douluo level, capable of splitting any Titled Douluo below Rank 95 322.

  • Formation Commander: As the core and commander of the Four Swords of Extermination, the Seven Kills Sword can lead the four divine swords in their convergence, allowing ten thousand swords to return to the sect 664.
  • Divine Position Condensation: Its essence, rooted in “kill,” is crucial for condensing a Divine Position in the future, particularly those related to slaughter 604.
  • 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, then be endowed with Sword Intent to form a true divine sword 605 606.
  • Order Judgment: After its ascension into the Sword of Order, Seven Kills becomes the manifestation of Order Judgment, combining its supreme killing power with authority to judge all living beings 668.
  • Heavenly Dao Killing Character: Six Paths Sword Qi combine into a vast “Kill” character that uses negative emotions to influence the laws of heaven and earth.
