Heavenly Desolation

Biodata

Background / History

Immortal Ancient and Kun Peng’s Death

Heavenly Desolation accompanied Kun Peng throughout her life. During the great war of Immortal Ancient, its shaft broke into three sections and its weapon spirit suffered grievous injuries. Kun Peng lacked the strength to repair it afterward 121 130 141.

The weapon subsequently witnessed Kun Peng’s betrayal. After returning gravely wounded from battle, she was ambushed by four True Immortals from her own side and afflicted with the Immortal-Breaking Curse. Although she crippled her attackers, she could not dispel the curse, which required an Immortal King’s intervention. Her death left Heavenly Desolation consumed by resentment toward those she had protected 123 130 141.

Encounter with Shi Zhao

Shi Zhao discovered the three broken pieces among the ancient hall’s relics and immediately claimed that the treasure was fated to be hers. During the ensuing battle, she assembled the halberd and used it to kill Venerables and other attackers, forcing the survivors to flee or beg for mercy 119 121.

Heavenly Desolation compared her to the young Kun Peng but criticized her for sparing enemies. It promised to help her fight once or twice if she stopped being merciful. Shi Zhao accepted, hoping that fighting together would help persuade it to leave with her 122.

Her appeals invoked the Seven Kings of the Border Wasteland, Willow Deity, the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, and the survival of Kunpeng Son. Heavenly Desolation did not immediately agree, but afterward questioned whether it should follow her, with revenge becoming its central concern 123.

The Darkness Incident

Before leaving the nest, Heavenly Desolation opened hidden chambers containing Kun Peng’s damaged eggs and remains. Recalling her betrayal drove the weapon toward genuine darkness, and its resentment began merging with Shi Zhao 130.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk awakened to intervene, but Shi Zhao’s Tattered Cloth absorbed the dark aura first. Heavenly Desolation afterward described itself as clearer-headed than at any time since Kun Peng’s death, while admitting that its hatred remained. Shi Zhao promised to avenge Kun Peng and wash away her grievances 130.

Immortal Mountain and the Upper Realm

Shi Zhao brought Heavenly Desolation to Immortal Mountain to free Kunpeng Son. It helped break the Qin Clan’s protective formation, overturned Five Elements Mountain, and severed the chains binding him. Kunpeng Son then took up his mother’s weapon and attacked the mountain himself 139 140 141.

After the rescue, Shi Zhao and Kunpeng Son returned to the Kunpeng Nest because the halberd’s remnant consciousness was failing. Its condition delayed Kunpeng Son’s plans to enter the Upper Realm, but he eventually departed with it, prepared to offer a blood sacrifice if necessary to unleash its final battle 143 149.

Appearance

• Dormant form: A plain, ancient great halberd with a dull, lightless blade, initially found broken into three pieces 119.
• Awakened form: Wreathed in chaos qi, with murderous radiance surging into the heavens 121.
• Changing colors: Can shift between gold and black through yin–yang transformation; genuine dark corruption and blood-red battle frenzy are separate states 122 130 141.
• Hairpin form: Shrinks small enough to loosely secure Shi Zhao’s hair, then returns to a great halberd for combat 139 140.

Personality

Heavenly Desolation’s loyalty to Kun Peng is inseparable from its hatred of her betrayers. It treats mercy as an invitation to be stabbed in the back and urges Shi Zhao to abandon concern for those who might turn against her. Although it repeatedly compares Shi Zhao to its former master, Shi Zhao insists that she is not Kun Peng 122 130.

Its damaged spirit alternates between sardonic conversation, lucid advice, and murderous frenzy. It respects the Seven Kings of the Border Wasteland, can recognize Shi Zhao’s schemes, and helps Kunpeng Son identify which of her abilities to borrow. Nevertheless, it denies being unstable even when the Reincarnation Disk warns otherwise 123 139 142 143.

Abilities & Skills

Immortal Cutting Power

Heavenly Desolation retains overwhelming offensive power despite its broken shaft 121 141.

• A mere wisp of its edge cowed the Qin Clan’s gods and prevented them from actively resisting Shi Zhao’s sword attacks 140.
• Combined its edge with the Divine Spirit Magic Sword to crush Immortal Mountain’s protective formation 140.
• Shattered the void, overturned Five Elements Mountain, cut the Five Elements Divine Chains, and destroyed the sacrificial altar beneath them 141.
• Its unrestrained attacks threatened the entire Mystic Domain, forcing Five Elements Mountain to protect the surrounding world 141.

Yin–Yang Transformation

As Kun Peng’s lifebound weapon, Heavenly Desolation naturally shifts between yin and yang 122.

• Its gold-to-black transformation during its argument with Shi Zhao contained no sinister or corrupt aura 122.
• This ordinary transformation is distinct from the genuine darkness produced by its resentment in Kun Peng’s burial place 130.

Size Alteration and Void Passage

The halberd can shrink into a hairpin and use its sharpness to force open a passage through the void 139.

• Opens passages through brute force rather than the law-based methods used by other travelers 139.
• The resulting journey was rough enough that Shi Zhao refused to use it again and continued with her Kun Peng wings 139.

Kun Peng’s Battle Intent

Heavenly Desolation preserves Kun Peng’s undying fighting will 141.

• While wielding it against Five Elements Mountain, Shi Zhao resonated with its former master and glimpsed this battle intent 141.
• The experience was explicitly distinguished from a Precious Technique, supernatural ability, or martial combat skill 141.

Knowledge of the Kunpeng Nest

The weapon knows the nest’s hidden spaces and can permit access through dangerous areas 123 130.

• Shi Zhao safely entered the deepest part of the Demon Transformation Cave with its permission 123.
• Opened a secret chamber and led her to another hidden cave associated with Kun Peng’s remains 130.

Damage and Limitations

Relationships

• Kun Peng — Original master. Her betrayal and death are the source of the weapon’s enduring grief and desire for revenge 122 123 130.
• Shi Zhao — Acknowledged wielder who won its cooperation and promised to avenge Kun Peng 130 143.
• Kunpeng Son — Its master’s sole surviving descendant. Heavenly Desolation freed him, advised him during battle, and became his weapon for the journey to the Upper Realm 141 142 149.
• Six Paths Reincarnation Disk — Fellow sentient artifact that monitors its instability and explains the severity of its failing consciousness 130 139 143.
• Five Elements Mountain — Enemy responsible for suppressing Kunpeng Son. Their clash is described as an irreconcilable blood feud 141.
