CHAPTER 795: CHAPTER 489: APOCALYPSE VISION_2

When his thoughts touched "Thunderous," it opened a subinterface, listing thirteen Ability combinations.

This was Yunhuo Xiao’s unique craft.

Even the bearer of the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade could only utilize the War Blade as if it were a black box, understanding the ’what’ but not the ’why’.

But before Wanxiang Star Pupil, everything was seen through.

Similarly, the Ability combination of Self-Weight Hundred Changes could also open a subinterface, listing nine Ability combinations.

Ji Xinghuo quickly scanned the information on the Abilities.

Of course, he would not reveal Yunhuo Xiao’s crafting secrets, but this would allow him to understand the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade more deeply and fully unearth the weapon’s potential.

Woosh...

Ji Xinghuo stood with the blade horizontally in front of him.

A mere casual gesture of holding the blade, with no attack delivered, yet the friction between the blade and air emitted a heavy whistling sound, filling the air with static reactions. Cang Ya felt the hair on her skin stand on end and smelled something scorched.

She dared not imagine how she would defend herself if Ji Xinghuo were to wield the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade in an attack against her.

Yunhuo Xiao, however, was unperturbed, casually saying, "I made some adjustments during the forging process, but the overall design concept remains the same. Although I encountered several challenging issues, I fortunately overcame them all, and the final product turned out better than expected."

"Thank you, Master!"

While feeling the War Blade, Ji Xinghuo sincerely exclaimed, "Master’s craftsmanship is the strongest I’ve ever seen, no one can compare to you!"

"Hehe..." Yunhuo Xiao stroked his chin, "There are several Casters within the Dynasty with skills surpassing mine, I still have much to learn."

Although he said this, his eyes were full of pride.

"In casting, I only acknowledge you as the Master," Ji Xinghuo stated earnestly.

The skill levels of other Casters, no matter how high, had no relevance to him.

Yunhuo Xiao was not just a world-renowned Caster, but his strength was also top-notch among the Shepherd Star Saints; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to disregard the Xukun Family. For such a peerless powerhouse, praising him and building a good relationship could never be wrong.

"You young man, you know how to talk. You’ve got a bright future!"

Yunhuo Xiao laughed heartily.

Receiving acknowledgment and praise from a buyer was among the most rewarding feelings for a Caster.

"There is a Martial Arts Arena in the manor, go and test the blade. But control your strength a bit, don’t destroy the Martial Arts Arena," Yunhuo Xiao said, "Creating this blade took a lot of my effort, I don’t know when I will make another one."

A touch of wistfulness showed on his face.

Heavenly King Level weapons, even for the top Casters of the Dynasty, were rare opportunities to create. Gathering materials, designing, forging, and finding a buyer were all essential conditions to begin.

If the timing wasn’t right, one might never have the chance to create a second Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade in their lifetime.

"Then I won’t delay the Master’s rest any longer."

After bowing, Ji Xinghuo left the workshop with the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade.

Stepping out of the workshop, the signs of the Apocalypse had gradually dissipated. Led by Zhi Ying, he entered the Martial Arts Arena within Zhu Xing Lake Manor. It was a massive structure occupying tens of thousands of square meters, likely exclusively for Yunhuo Xiao’s use, not for just anyone.

Once Zhi Ying had left, Ji Xinghuo took out the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade from his Dimension Stomach.

The massive War Blade in hand, the sense of an unstoppable sharp force spontaneously returned.

Cra-a-ck!

Electricity cried out, and Ji Xinghuo swung his blade.

In his hands, the tens of tons heavy Ship-Slicing Blade was as light as a feather, the blade’s light as fast as lightning. A mere physical swing carved out a hundred-meter long colossal blade shadow in the air before him.

Boom.

The air burst open, and the violent wind slapped around, causing the entire Martial Arts Arena to tremble.

"Too light," Ji Xinghuo mused after the chop, feeling that the blade in his hand was still not heavy enough, and so he infused it with Star Power to activate "Self-Weight Hundred Changes."

Instantly, the weight of the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade increased, soon surpassing 100 tons.

"Still not enough."

The ideal weight of a weapon is not just about being heavy; being able to pick it up doesn’t mean it can be used in combat. Generally, a weapon’s optimal weight is between 2% to 3% of one’s bench press weight, or even lighter.

For example, a typical adult male with a bench press weight of 100 kilograms would find a weapon weighing no more than 3 kilograms most suitable.

The expenditure of physical strength in combat for ordinary people.

Overly heavy weapons not only affect agility but also leave one out of strength after just a few swings.

Mutants have far greater physical endurance than ordinary people, can hold on for longer, and with Star Power for support, the weight limit for the weapons they use is higher. The stronger and thicker the Star Power, the faster the recovery, and the heavier the weapon one can use.

At the Heavenly King Level, mutants can handle weapon weights that exceed 10% of their bench press weight.

Ji Xinghuo’s bench press weight is slightly over 10,000 tons.

But that is in a peak state.

When not activating abilities such as Overload, Electromagnetic Polarization, Giant Transformation, or Dark Avatar, he is in a normal state, relying solely on pure physical strength, with a bench press weight of around 3,500 tons.

The weight of the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade exploded eightfold, exceeding 376 tons.

"A little heavier,"

Ji Xinghuo swung the blade a few times, his Star Power Cultivation and recovery speed far surpassing those of other mutants of his level, which allowed him to handle even heavier weapons.

Not until around 517 tons did he stop increasing the weapon’s weight.

"This is good!"

Ji Xinghuo swung the War Blade, the terrifying sound echoing in the Martial Arts Arena.

He didn’t use any Ability, nor did he activate any effects on the blade; every swing caused an air storm, the whole Martial Arts Arena shook incessantly, as if a large group of Aliens were engaged in fierce combat.

Maintaining a weight eleven times heavier, it didn’t consume much Star Power, even less than Ji Xinghuo’s Star Power Recovery speed.

The more than 500-ton heavy war blade felt as if it were an extension of his own body.

Neither affecting agility nor reducing speed, the consumption of physical fitness and Star Power was just right, achieving Balance with Star Power Recovery. As long as the intensity of the battle did not exceed expectations, he could keep on fighting.

Of course, it was bound to exceed them.

When necessary, Ji Xinghuo would enter his prime state, and the weight of the War Blade would continue to explode, potentially exceeding 1,000 tons!

Ji Xinghuo sheathed his blade and stood up, his gaze intensifying as he poured a vast amount of Star Power into the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade, the blade’s body now with currents flowing along its surface, the edge lighting up to form a high-temperature ionized blade, emitting a screech as it pierced the air.

Boom!

A slash was cast.

Ji Xinghuo’s figure vanished instantly, delivering a swift Thunder Cut.

The Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade can also unleash a Thunder Cut of the Potential Battle Blade, a lethal attack formed by controlling currents.

The dazzling saber-shaped lightning tore through the air, extending hundreds of meters, as if it bisected the Martial Arts Arena with one slash, leaving a glowing red gash on the alloyed ground, the metal melting away, yet quickly cooling and reforming.

The entire Martial Arts Arena was constructed from memory metal, which could always recover as long as the damage did not exceed its limits.

Ji Xinghuo stamped on the solid ground and nodded to himself.

The caster was indeed rolling in wealth; just the cost of building this Martial Arts Arena probably matched that of an Apocalypse Two Stars treasure.

He let go of all reservations and kept testing his blade.

Slash after slash was unleashed.

Apart from Thunder Cut, the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade could trigger a multitude of lethal effects, with each attack laced with high-temperature currents and bursting Chain Lightning; an exceedingly hard blade could also act as a shield, blocking fatal strikes; and the weight variation during combat could achieve unexpected results.

Not long ago, Ji Xinghuo’s "Star Force" had risen to the Seventh Level, allowing him to channel it through the weapon.

He mastered the technique quickly.

With each slash, he brought forth Electric Light Spiral Force, creating tangible Spiral Saber Gangs and releasing powerful destructive energy.

But still, Ji Xinghuo felt something was missing.

The Spiral Saber Gangs were powerful, yet the attack range was too close, lacking an absolute move that could slash through all enemies in front at once.

Unstoppable and indestructible!

He rested the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade on his shoulder, pondering for a moment before muttering to himself, "What I need is the Magnetic Pole Potential Slash, perfectly matched with the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade to unleash its full power."

Ji Xinghuo looked toward Cang Ya at the edge of the field; she had already been so stunned by the might of the Thunderclap Ship-Slicing Blade that she was numb.

In reality, he still had not played all his cards.

He had not tested many things, Thunderous was not activated, and he had not displayed his peak combat power at all.

"It’s time for us to go,"

Ji Xinghuo stored the ship-slicing blade in his Dimension Stomach and said earnestly to Cang Ya, "At this Cangming Auction, I must acquire the Magnetic Pole Potential Slash Species."
