Background / History

Absolute Blade is one of the five gifts Ye Zhiqiu selects before reincarnation. Its advertised ability is conceptual cutting, with “nothing it cannot sever.” He chooses it to complement Gravity: one controls the battlefield, while the other supplies damage. Self-Birthing Soul Spirit provides compatible rings without requiring Soul Beast hunting 1.

The Martial Soul awakens when Ye Zhiqiu is six. Following his father’s advice to conceal his twin Martial Souls, he publicly uses Absolute Blade at junior academy, hoping its weapon classification will place him on the power-attack path. He identifies it to the assessment teacher as a mutated Martial Soul 2 3 6 7.

Nana’s ancient martial arts instruction makes his bladework more free-flowing and unpredictable. At Heaven Dou Academy, his swift, precise blade technique earns him the nickname “Moonshadow.” He eventually reveals Gravity to Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin, allowing his teammates to train against both Martial Souls together 23 29 30.

Appearance

Absolute Blade manifests as a pure-white, translucent blade approximately one meter long, hovering beside Ye Zhiqiu’s right palm 2 3.

• Its form appears suspended between existence and nonexistence 2.
• Its edge is so sharp that looking directly at it causes observers’ eyes to ache 2 7.
• A faint white or silver sheen runs along it, sometimes resembling flowing moonlight 14 40 44.

Abilities & Skills

Inherent Sharpness and True Damage

The blade can cut through physical defenses without activating a Soul Skill. Its true-damage effect is explicitly demonstrated against a ten-thousand-year Dark Demon Tiger 48.

• Cuts through the tiger’s fur, muscle, and bone with clean incisions, despite defenses that could resist an ordinary Soul Emperor’s frontal slash 48.
• Breaks through Bing Tianliang’s protective Soul Power during ordinary attacks 45.
• Its flat can be used to block blows; Ye Zhiqiu also exercises enough precision to cut uniform-button threads without touching the wearer’s skin 29.
• Ye deliberately restrains its sharpness during sparring to avoid immediately destroying Dong Qianqiu’s Ice Spear 24.
• Early performance is not uniformly overwhelming: against a roughly 1,200-year Shadow Ink-Patterned Leopard, an ordinary slash penetrates less than half an inch before its muscles trap the blade 15.

First Soul Skill: Concept Severance

Temporarily severs an abstract connection rather than merely cutting the target’s body. The blade can strike the space beside an opponent to activate the effect 9 16 23.

• Power disconnection: Interrupts access to Martial Soul and Soul Power; against Nana, it also cuts access to spiritual power 9 40.
• Force disconnection: Severs the Shadow Ink-Patterned Leopard’s connection to the act of exerting force, causing its hind legs to buckle 16.
• Defensive disruption: Removes Soul Power protection at a wound, creating an opening for a finishing strike 32 36.
• Duration: Lasts three seconds against Dong Qianqiu at Ye’s rank 12, increasing to approximately four seconds after he gains two rings 9 24.
• Stronger targets: Initially affects Nana for about half a second; later reaches approximately 1.5 seconds 23 41.
• Limits: Repeated use is tiring, and stronger opponents require more Soul Power. At rank 12, deeper applications—such as severing weapon–wielder, skill–caster, or object–space connections—remain beyond Ye’s sustainable capability 9 16.

Second Soul Skill: Absolute Slash

Granted by the Space-Slicing Beast, Absolute Slash is described as a guaranteed-hit, guaranteed-wounding attack that deals tremendous damage 19.

• Disregards distance and angle, producing a hit without a visible approach trajectory 27.
• Opens a bone-deep wound in an Earthfire Red Dragon’s neck from more than ten meters away 36 37.
• Can combine with Concept Severance to inflict damage and sever a connection in the same attack 19 40.
• Guaranteed contact does not imply a decisive injury: against Nana, it leaves shallow marks that she removes with a thought 40.

Third Soul Skill: Boundary Severance

Creates a fine silver trail resembling a wound in space. The trail branches and bursts, disrupting space within roughly ten meters 36 37.

• Disconnects an Earthfire Red Dragon’s internal molten core from its body, preventing its prepared fire pillar from emerging 36 37.
• The demonstrated disruption lasts less than two seconds, giving Ye time to close in and use Concept Severance 36 37.

Fourth Soul Skill: Realm Descent

A spatial attack that removes a section of space and everything contained within it 36 37.

• Begins with a thrust into space rather than directly into the enemy’s body 36 37.
• Produces an expanding web of fractures roughly five meters across in less than half a second 36.
• Finishes the second Earthfire Red Dragon after Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin weaken it and Ye anchors its position 36 37.

Relationships

• Ye Zhiqiu — Wielder. Can summon or withdraw the Martial Soul by thought and regulate its sharpness during practice 2 24.
• First Blade — Associated first Soul Spirit, distinct from the Martial Soul itself. Intelligent and resistant to being touched; supplies its initial hundred-year ring 4.
• Space-Slicing Beast — Associated second Soul Spirit; grants Absolute Slash 19.
• Gravity / Absolute Gravity — Companion Martial Soul. Restrains enemies, redirects attacks, and creates openings for blade strikes; Gravity Anchor also supports close-range finishing combinations 1 40 45 48.
