Chapter 1063 - 255: Sadistic Sword
After distributing the equipment for the Undead and the Enchanting Demons, Zhongli only had two things left that needed his attention.
[Sacred Treasure: Celestial Fire]
[Legendary Weapon Creation Plan: Sadistic Sword].
Since the name "Sadistic Sword" was honestly a bit unnerving, Zhongli decided to look at Celestial Fire first.
[Celestial Fire · Strategic Treasure: Celestial Fire, Tears of the Stars; descends from the heavens, shaking all creation. A torrential rain of fire washes away all evil; grasp this Divine Fire and you shall rule destiny. Gaze upon this Celestial Fire and feel its unfathomable depth and vastness. Within the fire lies the endless power of the cosmos, awaiting awakening and release. Celestial Fire is like a meteor tearing through the night sky, bringing the bearer infinite hope and strength. Heroes wearing this treasure gain the [Celestial Fire Body Protection] effect, forming a shield composed of Celestial Fire, granting a shield equal to 20% of their own Life Value. When attacked, it fires a [Celestial Fire Strike] Trait at the enemy, dealing extra Flame Damage in a straight-line area and has a certain chance to inflict the [Celestial Fire Dizziness] state on enemies, lasting 0.5 seconds. When a Soldier’s Life Value drops below 30%, Celestial Fire will automatically trigger the [Celestial Fire Nirvana] effect, restoring 15% Spiritual Energy Value. During the recovery period, Spiritual Energy Value can continuously be converted into Life Value, and for a short duration it increases the Soldier’s Movement Speed and Attack Power by 150%.]
This effect was undoubtedly very powerful, already somewhat similar to the strongest Trait of the Aries Gold Saint.
[Star Undying Body · Legendary-level Trait: The stars never perish, my body is eternal. The Power of the Stars flows within me like an eternal flame, burning ceaselessly, never extinguished. The Aries Saint can resonate with the stars and possesses a near-immortal body. When taking damage, 40% of the damage is negated and absorbed; 100% of the remaining damage that is offset by Resistance is converted into Qi Value. At the same time, the Golden Saint can convert Spiritual Energy Value into Life Value at a ratio of 1:15, restoring up to 60% Life Value per second.]
This Trait allows Aries to convert damage into Spiritual Energy, and then Spiritual Energy can be converted into Life Value at any time.
So the more you hit him, the higher his Life Value might go.
The only thing is that the two focus on different aspects: Star Undying Body pushes tankiness to the extreme, while Celestial Fire’s abilities are more rounded—covering everything from Spiritual Energy recovery, to Flame Shield, to burst in combat power.
You could say it showcases the power of flame in an all-around way.
Although no single aspect is absolutely outstanding, the problem is that it also doesn’t conflict with anything else.
It’s a baseline Sacred Artifact that doesn’t clash with any other abilities; just equipping it gives you a comprehensive boost in combat strength.
This is an item no hero would refuse. Stack several of them and, even without any standout Trait, your combat power just quietly multiplies several times over.
Without a doubt, Lin Rui handed this item over to War Saintess·Hepanse.
Hepanse was currently constructing her combat power system; as long as there were enough Sacred Treasures, her combat strength could also ramp up quickly.
And besides this Sacred Treasure, she also had a [Blazing Crown].
[Blazing Crown · Sacred Treasure: Blazing Crown, Peak of Glory; blazing flames roar, shaking all directions. Flames upon the crown light the road ahead; cutting through thorns, you bravely climb to the peak. Gaze into the blazing flame, feel that burning passion. Atop the crown, your thoughts are set free. The Blazing Crown is like fire, illuminating every deep night, guiding its owner toward light and power. While this crown is worn, all subordinate Soldiers gain the blessing of the Power of Flame, their attacks carrying the [Burning] Trait, dealing an extra 1.2× Flame Damage and applying a 5-second [Soul Burning] effect that deals burning damage equal to 1% of the target’s maximum Life Value per second. After killing a target, allied Soldiers will use [Flame Absorption] to absorb the opponent’s Attribute Value. For each Elite-level unit, increase their own permanent Flame Damage by 0.5 points; Rare Level units permanently increase Flame Damage by 1 point; subsequent Heroic Spirit Level/Lord-level/Catastrophe-level/Epic-level/Legendary-level units respectively permanently increase Flame Damage by 4/16/64/256/1008 points.]
This time when going to the Desolate Domain World, Lin Rui deliberately brought her along as well,
precisely to see whether her Flame Absorption could be triggered in the Desolate Domain World.
If the Desolate Domain World contained large numbers of Legendary-level creatures, she would be able to endlessly increase her Flame Damage.
A single Legendary-level creature giving a permanent +1008 Flame Damage is, for her, essentially a permanent +1008 True Damage.
If she farms enough targets inside, her DPS capability will be the crown of the territory.
Lastly, Zhongli looked at the Legendary Weapon blueprint, Sadistic Sword.

[Sword of Desire: The Sadistic Sword is a shortsword almost as long as a human forearm. This weapon is not held in the hand, but is directly embedded in the bearer’s arm. There, it guides the user’s own accursed blood to form a unique toxin, whose potency can completely numb the senses of anyone it stings. Many victims are unable to handle the conflicting emotions and tidal wave of pain coursing through their entire body; when they weakly submit to the power of the Sadistic Sword, their bodies simply stop working. If the enemy’s Willpower is lower than your own, they fall into a 2-second sleep upon being hit.]
