I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield - Chapter 727 - 522: Battle Review, Lifebound Divine Weapon_2

At this moment, Qin Tian was preparing to do something important.

Within the [Soldier Immortal] talent, a newly awakened ability called Lifebound Divine Weapon · Devour Dao

Lifebound Divine Weapon · Devour Dao: Choose a weapon and deeply bind it with essence blood, soul origin, and Martial Immortal law to make it a “Lifebound Divine Weapon.” After binding, the Lifebound Divine Weapon undergoes an epic enhancement and can devour various divine weapons to enhance its own attributes.

For a long time, the two weapons that had accompanied him the most were Shadowstrike and Black Frost.

If he had to choose one as the Lifebound Divine Weapon, he would certainly choose one of these two.

In the early stages of his growth, Shadowstrike exerted the most effort, helping him kill many powerful enemies across levels.

But as his power increased, Black Frost was used more frequently, which was understandable.

At higher power levels, sniping an enemy with a bullet becomes quite difficult, as such strong people have high danger perception and many survival abilities.

Even if Shadowstrike was continually strengthened with the Power of the Martial Immortal, it could barely kill a Tier Seven warrior, an attempt on Tier Eight wouldn’t be very possible.

But Black Frost was different.

Whether Tier One Spiritualist or Tier Nine Demigod, these melee weapons were indispensable.

So Qin Tian decided to choose Black Frost as the “Lifebound Divine Weapon.”

Since he made the choice, there was no hesitation.

Qin Tian left the treasure storage and went to a clearing, sitting cross-legged with Black Frost’s blade held steadily in both hands, he whispered:

“With my essence blood as a guide, my soul as the foundation, and the Martial Immortal as the rule, forge my Lifebound Divine Weapon—Black Frost!”

With a slight finger movement, an invisible sharp blade cut across the palm, and crimson essence blood spurted out, not dripping down but creeping along the blade as if alive, merging into those silver-white frost patterns.

The frost patterns were dyed with essence blood, instantly radiating a strange red glow, the originally still blade trembled lightly, seemingly responding to the blood connection.

Subsequently, a brilliant golden glow appeared at Qin Tian’s brow, representing the extreme refinement of his soul origin, pulled out like a thread, entwining towards the Black Frost saber—this was the key to the Lifebound binding. A slight carelessness could harm the origin, making him solemn and highly focused.

When the soul origin intertwined with the essence blood frost pattern, Qin Tian hurriedly activated the Power of the Martial Immortal within him. The golden law’s power erupted like a tsunami, shrouding boundless sword intent, crashing into the Black Frost saber.

At the instant of their convergence, the Black Frost saber burst with blinding golden light and blood-colored cold glow. The originally jet-black blade was enveloped by the two lights, trembling violently, issuing a clear and high-pitched saber cry as if a slumbering giant beast was thoroughly awakened.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi was madly drawn in, forming a visibly swirling vortex, pouring into the Black Frost blade like a funnel.

Qin Tian sat in the center of the vortex, continuously pouring in essence blood, soul power, and the Power of the Martial Immortal.

Time passed silently through the monotonous refining, and for an entire day and night, Qin Tian maintained the same posture, the energy vortex around him never ceasing.

The light of the Black Frost blade alternated between fierce and restrained, the frost patterns growing increasingly sharp and deep under the nourishment of essence blood and the Power of the Martial Immortal, faintly showing flowing gold and red hues.

“Buzz——”

At a certain moment, the Black Frost blade emitted a deep and prolonged tremor, the golden light and blood-colored cold glow suddenly retracting entirely into the blade.

Qin Tian was moved, stopping the energy flow, and looked up.

At this moment, the Black Frost saber, more like a katana in form, appeared increasingly sharp, its blade jet-black as ink, but the frost pattern on its surface had transformed into more intricate patterns, with a thicker frost mist shifting around.

A shadow slowly emerged on the blade, gradually becoming solid.

It was a black warrior clad in black battle armor, holding a miniature Black Frost saber, standing tall, its face hidden under a helmet, none other than Black Frost’s saber soul!

Unlike the previous vague figure, the saber soul was now vividly clear, surrounded by an aura of sharpness and coldness, evidently awakened with clear spirit awareness.

“Master.”

A steady and hoarse voice directly resounded in Qin Tian’s consciousness sea, the black warrior’s saber soul slightly bowing, full of respect in its tone.

This call was extremely clear, with no hesitation, clearly giving shape to a state of intelligence that can communicate smoothly.

Qin Tian was overjoyed in his heart, just about to respond when the saber soul of the black warrior suddenly straightened, and the cold around it abruptly surged.

“Buzz——” The Black Frost blade trembled again, from its center, a vast domain power swiftly spread out, covering an area of several kilometers in an instant.

Within the domain, the temperature dropped sharply, snowflakes of silver-white floated into existence, gently falling.

Qin Tian immediately understood—this was Black Frost’s saber soul domain, the Frost Knife Domain!

He attuned his perception and found within each snowflake an extreme sharp sword intent embedded, while the snowflakes carried intense frost power, which upon any Spiritual Energy approach would instantly freeze them.

The two characteristics of sharpness and frost freeze had perfectly integrated into the saber domain, its power far surpassing before.

“Worthy of an epic evolution~”

Qin Tian raised his hand to lightly touch the icy blade of Black Frost, his face filled with satisfaction, evolving into a Lifebound Divine Weapon; Black Frost’s transformation could be described as rebirth from scratch, its blade material experiencing a qualitative leap, already incomparably hard, now under the triple refinement of essence blood, soul origin, and Martial Immortal law, its sharpness and hardness rapidly soared.

More crucially, the seven powerful enchantments of demon-breaking, counter-shock, blood-sucking, etc., had received an epic boost, simultaneously awakening three high-level enchantments of “Spirit Lock” (imprisoning target Spiritual Energy), “Void Split” (tearing space), “Mountain Lock” (adding gravity suppression), and even the capability of Spiritual Energy conduction had reached a newfound level.

If the current Black Frost was to compete against its former self, just one blow would split the previous Black Frost in half.

Beyond the ascent of material, the leap of saber soul intelligence and the awakening of the saber soul domain made Black Frost’s value increase exponentially.

An artifact spirit is by no means merely a “weapon soul” but also a “comrade” and “mentor” of the weapon.

Just like the gun spirit Blaze of the Heaven-Burning Purgatory, which lived for thousands of years, following over a dozen hosts, not only witnessing countless battlefield slaughters but also accumulating vast combat experience, providing tactical advice to the host at critical moments, and actively guiding energy flow within the weapon, allowing the host to easily utilize the weapon’s full potential.

In the Empire and even the Cosmos’ divine artifact recognition system, a mature artifact spirit is the core of cores—a weapon with an artifact spirit may not necessarily qualify as a divine artifact, like the Heaven-Burning Purgatory, but a weapon without an artifact spirit is definitely not counted among divine artifacts.

And at this moment, Black Frost, with its awakened clear spirit awareness saber soul and complete saber soul domain, had preliminarily reached the threshold of a divine artifact, stepping into the rank of a “quasi-divine artifact.”

Of course, Qin Tian knew very well that Black Frost was worlds apart from top divine artifacts like the Frozen Throne.

The most direct difference lay in the scope of the domain: the divine domain of the Frozen Throne was vast and boundless, with interior mountains, glaciers, and planetary laws, almost a complete microcosm.

Currently, Black Frost’s Frost Knife Domain only spanned a few thousand meters, the dimensions of the two were simply incomparable.

Yet Qin Tian didn’t mind, for Black Frost had only just advanced to a Lifebound Divine Weapon, and it was just the beginning.

Its upper growth limit was far higher than those innate divine artifacts: on one hand, connected by blood and bound by the soul to him, Black Frost receives nourishment with each rise in his strength, growing alongside him.

On the other hand, the core feature of [Lifebound Divine Weapon · Devour Dao] opened a shortcut for infinite growth for Black Frost—devouring other divine weapons, plundering their material, energy, and law to transform into its own growth nutrients.

Qin Tian understood well that as his steps extended across the Empire and Cosmos, the enemies he’d face would grow stronger, and the weapons these formidable foes wielded would start from top-tier Spiritual Artifacts, possibly nearing the divine artifact level.

If these weapons could be devoured one by one, Black Frost would not only quickly enhance its quality but also absorb different attribute powers to cover its own shortcomings.

This kind of growth potential could never be matched by those fixed divine artifacts, and given time, Black Frost would undoubtedly grow to rival or even surpass top divine artifacts like the Frozen Throne.
