Background and History

The King’s Power Sword was one of four items in Jiang Lin’s Novice Gift Pack, listed as the Heaven-and-Earth Sword: Royal Authority Sword, a Gold three-star inheritance. Jiang Lin chose to inherit it immediately despite the agonizing process: boundless gilded sword qi entered his brow in what he described as the pain of ten thousand swords piercing the heart. 2

After inheriting it, Jiang Lin could summon an ancient silver-white sword engraved with “King’s Power” on its guard. A casual swing produced invisible sword qi that carved a three-foot mark into a wall. Although Jiang Lin considered this output lacking, the system explained that his cultivation allowed access to only a tiny fraction of the weapon’s true strength. 2

Jiang Lin publicly awakened the sword at Holy Soul Village’s Martial Soul ceremony, deliberately keeping its deeper qualities concealed and hiding his second Martial Soul, the Pure Yang Flame. Su Yuntao nonetheless recognized it as a high-grade Martial Soul and invited Jiang Lin to join Martial Soul Hall; Jiang Lin refused. 6

The sword’s first major combat use came during Jiang Lin’s clash with Tang San. Its fine sword qi tore through Tang San’s incompletely mastered Mysterious Jade Hand, and Jiang Lin later held its point at Tang San’s throat despite Tang San revealing the Clear Sky Hammer. 10

Against Kus and Xiao Chenyu, Jiang Lin revealed more of the sword’s suppressed power. Its blade became coated in golden light, dragon scales appeared along the hilt, and its sword intent filled the dormitory with pressure severe enough to make most observers tremble. 13 Jiang Lin then used its sharpness and sword qi to defeat Xiao Chenyu’s Night Wolf Martial Soul and expose the conspiracy behind the attack. 14

In the Star Dou Forest, Jiang Lin began attaching Soul Rings to the sword. He selected soul beasts according to its defining traits—extreme sharpness, sword qi, and heightened reaction speed—rather than indiscriminately seeking stronger rings. 30 Its first two rings granted ranged spatial cutting and flight, while later rings expanded its defense and area-control capabilities. 33 36 41

Appearance

The manifested sword is an antique silver-white blade with a traditional design. The words “King’s Power” are engraved on its guard. 2

• In its restrained state, it appears as an ancient sword carrying subdued golden sword light. 6
• When Jiang Lin releases its sword intent, golden radiance covers the blade and golden dragon scales emerge along the hilt. 13
• Its unleashed intent creates a sharp, oppressive aura capable of making nearby souls tremble. 13

Abilities & Skills

Divine-Grade Sword Nature

The sword is described as possessing ultimate sharpness, able to cut through anything, while also substantially improving Jiang Lin’s reaction speed. 14 30

• Its inherent sword qi can leave deep marks in solid walls even before Jiang Lin gains Soul Rings. 2
• Fine sword qi around the blade shredded Tang San’s Mysterious Jade Hand. 10
• Its empowered edge severed Kus’s reinforced bone claws and cut through Xiao Chenyu’s bone blade. 13 14
• Jiang Lin can deliberately suppress the sword’s power and mystical traits to avoid attention. 6 13
• Early in Jiang Lin’s cultivation, he could access only approximately one-millionth of its power. 2

King’s Power Sword Intent

By releasing the sword’s intent, Jiang Lin enhances its sharpness and generates autonomous sword qi. 13 14

• Its presence suppresses and frightens most nearby opponents. 13
• It allows Jiang Lin to release countless small golden sword qis that pursue a target. 14
• Jiang Lin formed a protective sphere of sword qi around himself to counter the Netherworld Leopard’s stealth attacks. 32
• Sword qi lodged in the Netherworld Leopard’s wounds impeded its recovery and weakened it over time. 32

Void-Splitting Slash

The first Soul Skill, acquired from the thousand-year Netherworld Leopard. 33

• Fires a black sword light that vanishes and reappears up to fifty meters away. 33
• The attack enlarges after reappearing; a half-meter slash expanded to two meters and cut through more than a dozen trees. 33
• Jiang Lin believes it could seriously injure a Soul Venerable if used unexpectedly. 33
• Consumes roughly 30% of Jiang Lin’s Soul Power per use. 33

Azure-Feather Sword Wings

The second Soul Skill, acquired from the roughly 2,100-year Windfeather Falcon. 36

• Splits the sword into fragments that form azure wings attached along Jiang Lin’s back. 36
• Grants high-speed flight; a light flap carried Jiang Lin one hundred meters. 36
• Rapidly consumes Soul Power. 36

King’s Power Sword Shield

The third Soul Skill. 41 44

• Forms a massive golden shield from linked sword seals, bearing the sword’s image on its surface. 44
• Protected Jiang Lin and his companions from repeated attacks by a twelve-thousand-year Earth Giant Bear. 44
• The shield can be damaged by sufficiently powerful attacks; claw marks inflicted by the bear prevented its golden light from repairing them. 44
• Maintaining the shield consumes substantial Soul Power. 44

Thousand-Shadow Sword Formation

The fourth Soul Skill. 41 44

• Divides the King’s Power Sword into more than one thousand sword shadows without diminishing their individual sharpness. 44
• Each shadow bears an eye-like black mark connected through nearly invisible threads. 44
• The formation can blind a target and inflict black sword qi that erodes life force from within. 44
• It pursued the Earth Giant Bear underground after the beast attempted to flee. 44

Relationships

• Jiang Lin — inheritor, wielder, and primary combatant; he regards the sword as one of his greatest sources of strength and trains with it throughout his cultivation. 2 30 40
• Pure Yang Flame — Jiang Lin’s second god-grade Martial Soul; the two are frequently used in combination, including against the Netherworld Leopard, Earth Giant Bear, and Cold Crystal Python. 32 44 45
• Little Dragon Girl — Jiang Lin’s principal protector during difficult Soul Beast hunts; she weakened the Windfeather Falcon and Cold Crystal Python so Jiang Lin could secure sword Soul Rings. 36 45
• Netherworld Leopard — source of the sword’s first Soul Ring and Void-Splitting Slash. 33
• Windfeather Falcon — source of the sword’s second Soul Ring and Azure-Feather Sword Wings. 36
• Cold Crystal Python — intended source of the sword’s fifth Soul Ring; Jiang Lin begins absorbing its black ring after killing it. 45
