Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Evil-Slaying Value: 1 | 13 | Kong Wu's ordinary Zhanmadao becomes the Evil-Slaying Saber after receiving a Special Attribute Point. Its first kill, an Imperfect Shi Ba, grants 1 Evil-Slaying Value and establishes its scaling anti-fiend property. |
| Evil-Slaying Value: 9 | 16 | After slaying several Shi Ba, the saber becomes noticeably heavier and sharper; it can wound Bronze Corpses but cannot yet bisect one in a single strike. |
| Evil-Slaying Value: 10 — Toughness unlocked | 17 | The blade grows longer and wider, weighs roughly 400–500 pounds, and gains Toughness, which strengthens its body as Evil-Slaying Value rises. |
| Evil-Slaying Value: 15 | 26 | Slaying a Blood Tiger grants 5 points at once; the weapon cuts the creature with exceptional ease. |
| Evil-Slaying Value: 25 — Shape-shifting unlocked | 47 | Kong Wu spends another Special Attribute Point on the saber. It liquefies into black fluid and can assume forms such as spiked gauntlets and claws. |
| Evil-Slaying Value: 27 | 56 | Killing a Flying Zombie grants 2 points; its durability is described as approaching that of an ordinary magic treasure. |
| Spatial unlocked | 98 | A further Special Attribute Point creates a Space rune, giving the saber an internal dimension for storage. |
| Evil-Slaying Value: 81 | 108 | Slaying Prince Jin had previously raised the total to 81. |
| Evil-Slaying Value: 101 — Armor Break unlocked | 108 | The saber absorbs a blood-colored tiger and crosses 100 Value, enlarging into a nearly 1.7-meter, door-wide greatsaber. It gains Armor Break, which bypasses defensive skills for one-tenth of the strike's damage. |
| Evil-Slaying Value: 301 | 281 | A Chaos Hyena Dog alone provides 50 points, bringing the saber's recorded total to 301. |
History
The Evil-Slaying Saber began as an ordinary blacksmith-made Zhanmadao. Kong Wu used a Special Attribute Point—obtained from an Evil God Cultist—to alter it, producing a weapon that could grow by slaying fiends without requiring True Qi to function 13 47 57.
Its first recorded battle was against an Imperfect Shi Ba, which it split cleanly in half and from which it gained its first Evil-Slaying Value. Continued use against corpses, Blood Tigers, zombies, and other demonic entities steadily changed both the saber's size and its special attributes 13 16 17 26 56.
After absorbing Xue He's blood-colored tiger, the saber underwent its largest recorded evolution: it surpassed 100 Evil-Slaying Value, expanded into an oversized greatsaber, and gained Armor Break, allowing Kong Wu to injure Xue He through the Blood Shield Talisman 108 111.
Appearance
The saber is a dark, rune-covered Zhanmadao whose hilt is enclosed by a ferocious beast head. Its runes glow faintly, and the blade has repeatedly grown in mass and dimensions as its Evil-Slaying Value increased 13 17 47.
- Initially appeared as a cloth-wrapped, unremarkable Zhanmadao before its enhancement 13.
- At 10 Evil-Slaying Value, became longer, wider, and roughly 400–500 pounds in weight 17.
- At 101 Evil-Slaying Value, grew to nearly 1.7 meters tall and as wide as an ordinary person 108.
- Can dissolve into black liquid while changing form, then solidify as a weapon or armor 47 48 179 307.
Abilities & Skills
Evil-Slaying
The saber inflicts increased damage against evil creatures and gains Evil-Slaying Value from qualifying kills. Higher Value increases its bonus damage 13 26.
- Cleanly bisected an Imperfect Shi Ba on its first recorded use 13.
- Cut through a Blood Tiger with little resistance and gained 5 Evil-Slaying Value 26.
- Can harm entities that evade ordinary physical attacks; it cleaved a Chaos Hyena Dog's blurred body and ignited it in black flames 281.
- Its anti-evil property torments demonic and spiritual targets, including Blood Princess's soul projection 255 258.
- Not every hostile cultivator qualifies as an evil creature; killing Zhu Yin Sheng did not increase its Evil-Slaying Value 26.
Toughness
Unlocked at 10 Evil-Slaying Value, Toughness increases the blade's structural strength alongside its Value 17.
- Withstood Bai Shen's black lightning without damage and broke Bai Shen's high-quality mortal sword 18.
- Remained intact after clashing with a top-grade magical artifact saber 18.
- Deflected Hu Qiying's flying jade sword, suffering only a white mark 34.
- Its durability later approached that of an ordinary magic treasure and allowed it to cut through spirit-artifact armor 56.
Shape-shifting
The saber can transform into any form Kong Wu wills, turning it from a separate weapon into an extension of his body 48.
- Forms include gauntlets, knuckle dusters, sharp claws, and gloves 47 48 258.
- Has formed fitted armor with an arm-mounted blade around its wielder 307.
- Can revert from a transformed form to its standard saber shape instantly 48 56.
- A nearly imperceptible connection to Kong Wu allows him to call and reshape it from a distance 179.
Spatial
The Spatial attribute grants an internal storage dimension whose capacity depends on Evil-Slaying Value 108.
- Kong Wu stores items inside the saber, including the Tiger Soul Sword 206 466.
- Its spatial properties can be used with extreme speed in battle, enabling Kong Wu to appear behind an opponent before they react 454.
Armor Break
Unlocked after the saber reached 101 Evil-Slaying Value, Armor Break bypasses defensive skills and directly inflicts one-tenth of the current strike's damage 108.
- Injured Xue He through the Blood Shield Talisman despite the barrier physically blocking the blade 108.
- Repeated uses against the same barrier ultimately kill Xue He through internal damage 111.
Notable Feats
- Severed Zhu Yin Sheng's shoulder and half his body in a single strike 19.
- Broke open Qingzhou City's flesh-like gate with a full-powered Moon Slash Saber strike 160.
- Destroyed Shi Lianting's illusion formation with a wide-area saber technique 179.
- Shifted behind and decapitated the Bags Arhat before he could respond 454.
- Repelled Great Emperor Longevity's lightning axe and later served as the medium for Moon Slash against him 616 618.
- Cut through Shadow's copied saber despite Shadow's ability to replicate its opponent's moves 663.
Relationships
- Kong Wu — Creator, primary wielder, and the source of the saber's Special Attribute Point upgrades. The weapon responds directly to his intentions and returns to his hand through its transformation link 13 47 179.
- Skinny Monkey — Initially carried the cloth-wrapped saber for Kong Wu; the weapon's later 400–500-pound weight made this impractical 13 17.
- Little Red — Wielded an Evil-Slaying Saber against Nanda Dragon King during the battle involving the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons 406.
- Tiger Soul Sword — Frequently paired with the saber in combat and stored within its spatial dimension when not in use 423 466.
