Chapter 225 - Emerging from Isolation, and the Invasion of the Vampiric Empire (1/2)

A dragon pattern vaguely covered the pitch-black body of the blade.

One could sense a faint yet intimidating sword aura coming from it.

The Dragonslayer was obviously a better sword compared to the Bloodthirst.

It was truly something worthy of being classified as a power item.

The blade managed to achieve the power of a mid-tier power item, skipping the stage of being a low-tier one entirely.

While the difference between low-tier and mid-tier power items did not seem to be much, the powers represented by the tier difference were actually significant.

If Chu Yunfan were to make a move again, he would not have needed to summon the thunder dragon again, for that Dragonslayer blade alone would have enabled him to sink an American aircraft carrier.

That was a feat deemed near impossible for a low-tier power item.

The sword had evidently become more than the usual so-called godlike weapons.

One of the examples of so-called godlike weapons would be the Bloodthirst. Its sharpness was unmatched compared to regular cold arms, even when said cold arms were forged from modern high-tech alloys.

Despite the Bloodthirst’s formidable status, it was still considered a weapon of mortals instead of a power item befitting a true cultivator.

While power items were nonetheless formidable weapons as well, they were more than just formidable weapons. Their prowess lied with more than just their sharpness, as they inherently came with all types of mystical abilities.

Take the Dragonslayer as an example. It was a power item that Lu Xuan sealed that terrifying Advent of the Thunder Dragon skill with. The Dragonslayer practically enabled him to cast that skill as he wished in the future. He had not had to worry about depleting all of his powers with that one single move.

But then again, it was a one-time thing; he had to replenish the skill into the blade afterward, nonetheless.

The unreal properties of the Taiyi Metal enabled Lu Xuan to boost the Dragonslayer’s quality from its supposed low-tier to mid-tier in one shot.

When it came to sharpness alone, however, the Dragonslayer was more than enough to match that of high-tier power items.

That weapon was more than enough for Lu Xuan at the moment. The era where power items were all over the place had yet to come, after all.

Without nourishment from spirit qi, qualities of many power items saw a sharp drop in every way, even if they were to be able to be preserved after the dragon vein was severed.

His Coiling Dragon Ring was one such power item.

When compared to the ring he possessed back in his past life, the Coiling Dragon Ring, as it was at the moment, was but a low-tier power item.

However, even low-tier power items were considered extremely precious at the moment, nonetheless. Even massive organizations like the Taichu Group, which benefited from its ancient heritage of cultivation, did not necessarily have many such low-tier power items at their disposal. Even if they were to have any mid-tier ones in their possession, those items had to be reserved as trump cards.

That was due to them not having Lu Xuan’s powers. They needed to think of ways just to even make use of such power items alone instead of being able to field them as regular, standard weapons of war.

The Dragonslayer alone had boosted Lu Xuan’s combat capacity by over 50 percent.

50 percent was actually far more terrifying than it sounded like; it was an increase in powers that many Invincible Vajras could only dream of.

Lu Xuan emerged out of isolation, and Yang Chengsi, who had been waiting outside, went up to him right away. He reported any changes that had happened thus far.

It was only then that Lu Xuan realized that the world was no longer the same as the one he knew that he went into isolation.

It was especially so when the world of cultivators was concerned.

While he had only used a single day to craft the Dragonslayer, he went on to patch all manner of inadequacies with the blade afterward. He then sealed the Advent of the Thunder Dragon skill into it. The entire process took him one whole week.

A lot has changed throughout the world within that one week.
