Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
High-grade magic treasure	452	Ye Tian forges the sword from 108 low-grade azure small swords using pill fire and Spirit Shaking Divine Wood. When united, their combined power reaches the lower end of the high-grade magic treasure level.
Reinforced composite sword	470	After months of pill-fire reinforcement, the 108 component swords gain roughly ten percent more power; Ye Tian also improves the efficiency of their combination and separation through the Immortal Slaying Sword Art.
Spirit-treasure-level power	604	Refined with star sand, acceleration formations, and the Nine Revolutions Guiding Stars Xiantian Art. Its speed nearly doubles and its overall power reaches spirit-treasure level.
Pseudo spirit treasure	741	Its sharpness is assessed at pseudo-spirit-treasure level, but it remains a magic treasure overall because a true spirit treasure requires innate spiritual materials and sentience.
Low-grade spirit treasure	771	Ye Tian identifies it as a low-grade spirit treasure before further enhancing it with Willow Immortal Vine, Phosphorus Stones, Kuai Yun Grass, and Lei Jin.
Divine connection	786	After Ye Tian enters the Deity Transformation Stage and his sword heart grows, the sword develops a symbiotic connection with him; its fragments can rise and continue attacking after being shattered.

Background / History

Ye Tian obtains the sword from the cave mansion where the Shangqing Sect Master entered nirvana. After forming his seventh-grade Golden Core, he forges it into a weapon suited to his sword heart, selecting matching Spirit Shaking Divine Wood for all 108 components. The completed weapon can unite into one dense green sword or separate into 108 independent azure swords. 452

The sword becomes Ye Tian's primary weapon because it is especially suited to the split-attack methods of the Immortal Slaying Sword Art. Its modular nature gives it exceptional flexibility, though divided swords lose attack power and speed compared with the complete blade. 536 604

In the Third Heaven, Ye Tian refines all 108 blades with star sand and acceleration formations, raising the sword's speed and overall grade. A trace of killing intent subsequently emerges from the weapon and is absorbed by Ye Tian's sword core, helping perfect that core. 604

Before entering Lingxiao Palace, Ye Tian further improves the sword with Willow Immortal Vine, Phosphorus Stones, Kuai Yun Grass, and Lei Jin. Following his advancement to Deity Transformation, the sword develops a divine, symbiotic link with him. 771 786

Appearance

The Azure Resolution Cloud Piercing Sword is a composite sword formed from 108 small azure or green swords. United, they create a dense green blade that emits spiritual energy; in flight, it often appears as a streak of azure light or a blue rainbow. 452 466

• Composed of 108 matching small swords. 452
• Forged primarily from Spirit Shaking Divine Wood, making it neither metal nor stone. 466
• Can manifest as a complete sword, separate sword lights, or individual small blades. 452 536
• Its refined form bears increasingly clear runes and carries pronounced killing intent. 604 804

Abilities & Skills

Composite Division and Recombination

The sword can divide from two halves up to its full set of 108 small swords, then reform into a single blade.

• Separates into twin sword energies to attack multiple targets at once. 466 827
• Deploys 18, 27, 54, or 108 blades against vital points, enemies, or incoming attacks. 475 482 491 661
• Recombines for its highest speed, sharpness, and high-grade magic-treasure force. 604
• Its attack power and speed decrease while divided. 604
• Controlling all 108 components is spiritually expensive, especially at Ye Tian's earlier cultivation level. 452 458

Heavenly Dipper Annihilation Formation

Using the 108 swords, Ye Tian can establish the Heavenly Dipper Annihilation Formation, surrounding and suppressing powerful opponents.

• Forms a circular sword formation that imposes immense pressure on enclosed targets. 744
• Channels killing intent through all 108 swords before firing concentrated attacks. 744
• Cuts apart falling boulders and can suppress foes as large as the Green Dragon Immortal Lord. 467 676
• Requires substantial spiritual energy and is not used lightly. 458

Immortal Slaying Sword Art Integration

The sword is Ye Tian's principal medium for the Immortal Slaying Sword Art, which improves his control over its component blades.

• Enables coordinated multi-sword attacks and rapid formation changes. 470 536
• Allows unity of man and sword; Ye Tian once gathers all his spiritual energy into the blade to cleave a Sky-Slaying Ape in half. 521
• Its manifested sword intent protects Ye Tian against the hostile intents of numerous broken swords. 563
• Killing intent from Ye Tian's sword core can amplify a single complete-sword strike enough to break defensive formations. 574

Energy Guidance and Elemental Effects

Its Spirit Shaking Divine Wood construction gives the sword unusual compatibility with external energies.

• Does not react to lightning like metal-based weapons and can guide spiritual energy as a transmission medium. 466
• Absorbs or borrows lightning power, including from a Thunderclap Talisman. 466 747
• Can carry Bone Cold Ice Flame, black-gray-white flames, and spatial-rift effects in later battles. 766
• Its connection to Ye Tian becomes sluggish when engulfed by the Black Kirin's restraining black flames. 790

Fragmentary Assault

After forming a divine connection with Ye Tian, even shattered components can be reanimated for continued attacks.

• Dozens of component swords can shatter under prolonged spiritual-energy collisions. 786
• Ye Tian can raise the fragments again and send them at an opponent before recombining the weapon. 786
• The technique depends on Ye Tian's spiritual-energy expenditure and the sword's symbiotic link to him. 786

Limitations

• The 108 component swords are weaker individually than the unified sword. 604
• Full-scale multi-sword control can rapidly exhaust Ye Tian's spiritual energy. 452 458
• Powerful defensive treasures, barriers, and specialized techniques can scatter, halt, or neutralize its attacks. 466 491 514 747
• The Black Kirin's black flames restrain the sword, while its scales resist its direct attacks. 790
• In a realm where Ye Tian cannot augment it with immortal essence, the sword's sharpness alone is insufficient against certain monsters. 1009

Relationships

• Ye Tian — Owner, refiner, and primary wielder; he forged the sword into its 108-part form and repeatedly upgrades it with rare materials. 452 604 771
• Immortal Slaying Sword Art — Ye Tian's sword art complements the weapon's division, recombination, and formation-based combat style. 470 536
• Ye Tian's sword core — The sword's killing intent is absorbed by the sword core, helping Ye Tian perfect it. 604
• Bone Cold Ice Flame — Used in major refinements and later coats the sword in destructive black-gray-white flame. 604 766

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Early Core Formation battles — Ye Tian uses the newly forged sword against Blood Jade Cold Toads, Blood Moon Cult cultivators, and other Core Formation opponents, establishing its reputation as an unusually dangerous composite weapon. 461 466
• Sword-core cultivation — Its 108 components become central to Ye Tian's practice of the Immortal Slaying Sword Art and the development of his sword core. 470 536
• Third Heaven refinement — Ye Tian upgrades it with star sand and acceleration formations, bringing its power to the spirit-treasure level and nearly doubling its speed. 604
• Heavenly Sword Sect conflicts — The sword is used against the Three-Ringed Golden Saber Sect, the Yang Family, and Lingxiao Palace forces, often breaking magic treasures and formations through overwhelming sword energy. 711 755 767 777
• Deity Transformation battles — After developing its divine connection with Ye Tian, the sword's fragments can continue fighting after shattering, though stronger enemies such as the Black Kirin can restrain or resist it. 786 790
• Mahayana sword-dao breakthrough — Ye Tian wields it while comprehending the move “Heaven Slaying,” releasing sword energy powerful enough to cleave the Xuan Emperor statue and open the Secret Realm. 1021 1022
