Chapter 91: Breaking Evil Blade

In the dark spiritual space, a massive black book floated and sank; though it was also black, it always gave one the feeling that it was emitting a pitch-black radiance, full of presence.

Within the Altar beneath the black book, over a hundred strands of black Qi, some thick and some thin, were constantly winding and flowing; this was precisely Uchiha Feiyu's harvest over this period of time.

A portion consisted of the ninja he had killed while executing missions for Root, and another portion consisted of the ninja he had killed on the Kumogakure battlefield.

Although the quantity of Black Qi was far less than what he had harvested on the Sand Ninja battlefield, the quality was far superior.

The targets of Root missions were almost never lower in strength than a Special Jonin, and the vanguard forces of the Cloud Ninja also had no ninja lower in strength than a Chunin; compared to the ninja on the Sand Ninja battlefield, the quality was undoubtedly a large cut above.

Uchiha Feiyu had always suspected that the inheritance he obtained from the Book of Demonic Inheritance was not only related to the quantity of sacrifices, but likely had a great deal to do with their quality as well.

Just now, he was being targeted by several powerhouses from Kumogakure and felt quite insecure, so he prepared to trade these sacrifices for some useful inheritance to add a trump card for himself.

As Uchiha Feiyu's thoughts shifted, the Black Qi beneath the black book suddenly fluctuated violently on the Altar, and after a moment, it merged into the black book; the large black book trembled twice, and a brand-new piece of information appeared in Uchiha Feiyu's mind.

"Breaking Evil Blade... This time, what it gave me is actually a method for refining a magical artifact?"

When Uchiha Feiyu performed the sacrifice this time, the requirement he put forward was to be able to resolve the defense of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, while also requiring it to be something that could be quickly mastered.

However, he had not expected that the Book of Demonic Inheritance would directly give him a method for refining a magical artifact.

This was like facing a master of Iaijutsu, and the method one's teacher taught wasn't some deeper sword art, but rather telling you to go buy a Glock and take out the opponent with "American Iaijutsu."

"I originally thought it would give me a new inheritance... That's right, an inheritance that can resolve Lightning Release Armor after only a very short time of cultivation—I'm afraid that amount of sacrifice wouldn't be enough."

Thinking of this, Uchiha Feiyu sank his consciousness into the refining method for the Breaking Evil Blade magical artifact.

After studying it for a while, Uchiha Feiyu discovered that the so-called Breaking Evil Blade was actually a knock-off version of the renowned Heavenly Net Blood-Transforming Divine Blade of the Demonic Path.

Of course, calling it a knock-off might be gilding the lily for the Breaking Evil Blade; the effects of this thing were more than a hundred thousand miles worse than the Heavenly Net Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, possessing neither the marvelous uses of the Heavenly Net nor the blood-transforming might.

The only thing it had that was worth using was a strand of Evil-Breaking Qi on the blade; the effect of this Evil-Breaking Qi was that it possessed no weak destructive power against energy and Soul.

In other words, a successfully refined Breaking Evil Blade could ignore protective true Qi, and once wounded by the Breaking Evil Blade, both body and Soul would be injured, making it difficult to recover.

The effect of the Breaking Evil Blade was not particularly strong; among various Demonic Path magical artifacts, its effects could be considered bottom-tier, and it was not even much stronger than those famous ninja swords of the Ninja World.

However, the targeting of this blade was absolute; it almost perfectly countered chakra-based protective ninjutsu like the Lightning Release Armor, which was exactly what met Uchiha Feiyu's initial requirements.

Additionally, as a standard Demonic Path magical artifact, the refining method for this blade was also very simple: it required a large number of Soul.

To refine a Breaking Evil Blade, one needed a total of 360 Soul and a fine, high-quality blade; subsequently, one would destroy the 360 Soul, and by utilizing the baleful Qi from the destruction of the Soul, condense a strand of Evil-Breaking Qi to merge into the blade body—this was the so-called Breaking Evil Blade.

Afterward, if one continuously used the Breaking Evil Blade to kill people, the Evil-Breaking Qi on the blade would grow, which meant the damage to the Soul would be stronger, and it could break through even stronger protective true Qi and similar effects.

Of course, as an ordinary magical artifact, the effect of this blade had its limits, but at least for dealing with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode of the two Raikage, it was sufficient.

According to the calculations recorded in the inheritance, even the most basic, newly refined Breaking Evil Blade was enough to easily break through the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Armor.

And once the Breaking Evil Blade had killed hundreds of people and its power reached completion, the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Armor would likely be no different from thin paper before it.

"Although it is different from what I imagined, once the Breaking Evil Blade is refined, Kumogakure will indeed no longer pose much of a threat to me!"

"Most importantly, it seems quite easy to refine this blade!"

In Uchiha Feiyu's hands was the retractable Kusanagi Sword given to him by Orochimaru; although the Breaking Evil Blade was called a blade, as long as it was a high-quality weapon, it could all be combined with Evil-Breaking Qi without any loss in effect, so the Kusanagi Sword could naturally also be refined into a Breaking Evil Blade.

As for Soul, that went without saying; having mastered the Controlling Soul and Commanding General, the number of Soul in Uchiha Feiyu's hands was already in the four digits, so 360 Soul could be considered a mere trifle.

With the production method and materials, Uchiha Feiyu did not waste any more time, and in just one night, he had already transformed the Kusanagi Sword into a Breaking Evil Blade—or one could call it a Breaking Evil Sword.

The Kusanagi Sword, now infused with Evil-Breaking Qi, did not look any different, but only after looking at it for a long time would one feel a faint, pale-white radiance flowing on the sword, causing one's heart and spirit to be shocked.

Uchiha Feiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, condensed a mass of pure chakra in his hand, and then gently placed the Kusanagi Sword onto the chakra mass; with the faint white light flowing, the entire chakra mass was dissolved as if hot soup had been poured onto snow.

Afterward, Uchiha Feiyu unleashed a partial version of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, forming a thin layer of Lightning Release Armor on his arm; the moment the Kusanagi Sword touched that Lightning Release Armor, the entire armor immediately collapsed.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

After summoning a layer of Earth Release wall, Uchiha Feiyu held the Kusanagi Sword and slashed at it; a huge crack was cleaved into the wall, but it did not collapse.

"Can it only counter pure energy? It seems that for defensive ninjutsu with physical substance like Earth Release and Water Release, the Kusanagi Sword is unable to pierce through them."

"Next, I should test its lethality against the Soul. Summoning Jutsu!"

After summoning a large snake with a Summoning Jutsu, Uchiha Feiyu struck the snake's tail with the sword, piercing a huge bloody wound.

The summoned large snake let out a hissing cry of pain, the entire snake curled up and struggled frantically; in the end, Uchiha Feiyu had to use Sharingan Genjutsu to pin it down.

"Is it because it has lethality against the Soul that the pain is also greatly increased?"

With this guess in his heart, Uchiha Feiyu proceeded to unleash Medical Ninjutsu, beginning to treat the large snake's wound.

However, the Medical Ninjutsu, which usually had immediate results, had a much poorer effect this time; the flesh regenerated slowly and soon began to fester again.

A small wound that should have healed in less than a minute took Uchiha Feiyu over two hours to fully recover; even so, the large snake's body was still twitching, and it was visibly much weaker.
