Chapter 954 - 902: The Secret of Sharp Sword
Chapter 954 - 902: The Secret of Sharp Sword
After the equipment smelting, the Bloodstained War Halberd and Wrath of the Godslayer fused into one.
At this moment, Wrath of the Godslayer, held in hand, had a clearer cold metallic texture. The design of this scepter appeared as a double-sided axe, with the handle in the middle and identical axe surfaces on both sides, perfectly symmetrical.
The curvature of the axe blade formed a standard semicircle, spreading outwards, reflecting sharp light, sharp enough to cut through hair.
The tip of the handle featured a lifelike golden holy dragon’s head, roaring upward, each scale meticulously carved. The dragon head’s eyes seemed alive, blinking occasionally, shooting out beams of light that made one dare not look directly at it.
After the fusion of this divine instrument embryo, its appearance was extremely exquisite, yet not overly ostentatious like those of nouveau riche, everything was just right, showcasing the nobility and elegance of the royal family.
The Bloodstained War Halberd was originally the weapon of Emperor Somrett, and the Wrath of the Godslayer belonged to this tyrant Huang Yi. Both bore the majesty of an emperor, fusing together harmoniously.
Huang Yi contentedly caressed the newly forged Wrath of the Godslayer, then immediately checked its attributes—
[Wrath of the Godslayer] (Divine Instrument Embryo Level 1, Weapon - Axe Type, can switch to [Emperor Somerett Bloody Halberd] at any time)
Base Attack Power: 11500-12300 Heavenly Domain Points

Item Description: Wrath of the Son of Heaven, a hundred-thousand corpses lie, bloodshed over a thousand miles; Wrath of the Godslayer, the Son of Heaven trembles, falls to the ground.
Wrath of the Godslayer is not a complete equipment, only a divine instrument embryo, so its additional attributes don’t conform to usual equipment rules.
Equipment grades are Whiteboard, Green Gear, Blue Gear, Purple Gear, Orange Gear, Legendary, Epic, Divine Artifact, a total of eight grades. Besides base attributes, equipment also has a plethora of additional attributes, Whiteboard Equipment adds one attribute, and each grade adds another. According to this rule, a Divine Artifact should have eight additional attributes, but the Wrath of the Godslayer only has five additional attributes.
However, even with only five attributes, the bonuses are very high, far exceeding typical equipment’s additional attributes! This was why Huang Yi chose to use Wrath of the Godslayer instead of the Bloodstained War Halberd in his previous battle with 21 super-first masters.
Now, after the fusion with the Bloodstained War Halberd, these additional attributes are even higher than before.
However, at this moment, Huang Yi’s attention was not drawn by these additional attributes, his gaze fixed tightly on the additional skills section of the equipment panel—"Shared skills from [Emperor Somerett Bloody Halberd]’s additional skill—Blood Strike."
This means, holding Wrath of the Godslayer, Huang Yi can also use Blood Strike! No need to switch to the Bloodstained War Halberd form to use it!
This change suddenly reminded Huang Yi of Sharp Sword!
In that previous battle, Sharp Sword did not take out the Bloodstained War Halberd, but used that longsword to unleash the Blood Strike skill!
How similar is this to Wrath of the Godslayer’s skill sharing?
Almost instantly, Huang Yi had a terrifying guess—
Sharp Sword’s longsword is also a divine artifact!
It’s very likely to be the Sword Emperor’s divine artifact—the Sword Emperor’s Blade.
Huang Yi felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him, making him shiver. Sharp Sword’s secrets were more than he imagined. He had never heard that Sharp Sword had already obtained the Sword Emperor’s divine artifact, and unknowingly, Sharp Sword had already acquired the Sword Emperor’s Blade.
When he and Sharp Sword collaborated, Sharp Sword requested the detailed acquisition process of his equipment, showing that Sharp Sword could replicate those pieces of equipment, including the Bloodstained War Halberd.
Then, Sharp Sword smelted the Bloodstained War Halberd into that longsword, and since that longsword was also a divine artifact, after smelting it shared the Blood Strike skill, so even holding the longsword, Sharp Sword could unleash Blood Strike!
This was the most reasonable guess!
Of course, there’s another way to achieve this, which is through Huang Yi’s second exclusive skill—Reform!
After the martial arts tournament ended, Huang Yi exchanged a large amount of Stone Exchange for a Divine-Level Class Scroll and acquired a second class exclusive skill—[Reform]: Consumes Energy Value, allows for the reform of additional skills on equipment and transplants them onto other equipment. The Flying Axe skill was transplanted from the Ghost Axe to the Bloodstained War Halberd by Huang Yi.
If Huang Yi did not go through equipment smelting, he could also use the "Reform" skill to transplant Blood Strike onto Wrath of the Godslayer.
But Sharp Sword couldn’t possess this skill, because it’s Huang Yi’s class exclusive skill, and the word "exclusive" just like the "Judgment" skill, indicates it’s exclusive to Huang Yi’s class.
So it’s highly likely that Sharp Sword used a divine artifact to fuse a Bloodstained War Halberd, sharing the Blood Strike skill.
However, due to their legendary backstories or representing a segment of epic tales, Legendary and Epic weapons are unique, how did Sharp Sword replicate Huang Yi’s Bloodstained War Halberd?
Huang Yi felt that the deeper he understood Sharp Sword, the more accurate his guesses, the more secrets the other held, as if the entire person was a huge mystery.
After Huang Yi completed his reincarnation, his powerful strength was basically invincible at the player level. Even those super-first masters were defeated by him with a single move, only NPCs could pose a threat to him.
But this was just the surface, because Huang Yi wasn’t sure of the measures every player had; at least there were two players he couldn’t guarantee defeating, those being Dao Feng and Sharp Sword.
Among all super-first masters worldwide, Dao Feng, Sharp Sword, and Huang Yi held very special statuses, as they were each recipients of the Best Individual Award from the first, second, and third annual events respectively!
Huang Yi had been in reincarnation for half a year, while Sharp Sword and Dao Feng had been continuously growing without stopping!
Among them, Dao Feng was a good friend of Huang Yi, and a person of integrity, prioritizing the bigger picture, even voluntarily sacrificing the Gentleman divine embryo in this national war. Therefore, regarding Dao Feng, Huang Yi could absolutely trust him and need not consider him a threat.
But Sharp Sword was different, friend or foe was always unclear. Also, the message Sharp Sword sent to Huang Yi showed that they now stood on different grounds, and a battle between sworn enemies was likely in the end.
If listing someone capable of threatening Huang Yi, it would definitely be Sharp Sword!
However, Huang Yi would not actively oppose Sharp Sword. Currently, Sharp Sword was still an ally and even helped Huang Yi break the world record in the Tower of God, providing experience pills to level up.
Besides, top experts from the Seven Archdemons could arrive at any time, and with Sharp Sword’s help, there was a higher chance of getting through this crisis.
After calming his mood, Huang Yi saw the time was almost up, and he slowly began to farm monsters.
He deliberately slowed down his farming speed, allowing Dao Feng to break the record first. Creating a record for the first time could earn a super reward; Huang Yi’s Hero’s Command, Commandment of the Pantheons, and other treasures were all acquired by being the first to create world records. At this moment, Dao Feng was helping him break the world record, if he competed for the super reward, it would seem too petty.
After half an hour, Huang Yi checked the leaderboard. By then, Dao Feng had already created two world records on the 230th floor, with the current record time being 31 minutes.
Only then did Huang Yi speed up his clearance time, controlling it to be just a few seconds faster than Dao Feng. Afterward, he teleported out and broke the 230th-floor world record again, earning a total of two experience pills.
Exiting the Tower of God, Huang Yi appeared at the teleport plaza of Sun Island.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw two familiar figures standing straight under the moonlight, exceptionally distinguished, it was Sharp Sword and Dragon Spike, seemingly waiting for quite some time.
"God of Slaughter, catch!" Sharp Sword said calmly, with a flash of his hand, taking out two experience pills and throwing them to Huang Yi.
Dragon Spike also took out his two experience pills and tossed them over.
Both of them had also completed breaking the world records of the 210th floor.
"Thank you." Huang Yi smiled slightly, expressed his gratitude, and reached out to catch the four experience pills.
After waiting for a while, Dao Feng also emerged from the Tower of God, with his task being the heaviest, having to break two 220-floor and two 230-floor world records.
With that, all ten precious experience pills were in possession!
