Bai Yunfei began to smile happily upon seeing the stats of the flying dagger.

"It worked! It really has the effects the compendium said it would!"

It was exactly the same the compendium said, in fact!

Warp travel…basically meant traveling through the void!

Like how soul cultivators could teleport from one location to another in an instant, this flying dagger was capable of doing the same!

So what did that mean for the flying dagger? It meant that no obstacle was capable of stopping it!

Logically speaking, any soul cultivator or soulbeast would use their elemental energy to block any projectile thrown. But what use was a barrier like that if the flying dagger could simply 'warp' through the barrier?

Or if the enemy decided to retreat away from the flying dagger. How would they respond then if they realized the dagger had suddenly teleported to where they were heading?

Or…if the 'end point' of the flying dagger's 'warp' was occupied by the enemy's body…what would happen?!

The potential of this flying dagger was enormous!

"High-heaven tier…" Bai Yunfei murmured, his eyes glued to the soul armament. "The Lightningfire Cauldron's +10 additional effect activated and granted two additional tiers to it…"

The original attack of this soul armament was meant to be on par with the new talons Bai Yunfei made for Xiao Qi. The mid-heaven tier ones. High-heaven tier required a base attack stat of five thousand around. But like the time with the Critical Glove, the Lightningfire Cauldron's effect activated and boosted the soul armament's stats high enough to be considered a high-heaven tier.

+10 Additional Effect: 10% chance to boost the overall stats of an equipment by 20% when crafting.

The Lightningfire Cauldron was a low-heaven tier item. Upgrading it to +11 allowed the cauldron to be capable of crafting mid-heaven tier soul armaments, but that was its limit. Anything beyond that would mean the cauldron would be unable to handle the pressure and explode.

It was sad to see it destroyed. The cauldron had served Bai Yunfei faithfully for almost ten years now. All sorts of powerful soul armaments had been crafted inside of it before it made one last sacrifice to make such a powerful soul armament…

One couldn't talk about crafting a soul armament without also mentioning upgrading it too. Bai Yunfei decided to use the Manual Upgrade Technique so he could raise the soul compatibility even higher.

That was because he was hoping to turn the item into a soulbound armament.

Soon…

Elemental Affinity: Space, Metal

Upgrade Level: +10

Attack: 6200

Additional Attack: 3000

Soul Compatibility: 30%

Equipment Effect: Capable of warp travel when thrown. The distance warped is dependent on soulforce given.

+10 Additional Effect: 50% Chance of doubling penetrative power when obstructed by a physical defense.

Cooldown of 1 minute.

Upgrade Requirement: 300 Soulpoints

Disappointment flashed across Bai Yunfei's face at the additional effect. He had been hoping for something better. An effect with a 50% probability was decent, but it the Luck Pendant basically meant the effect would activate 100% of the time it was thrown and off its cooldown. Penetrative force was something that'd of course be applied to any flying dagger when thrown. They weren't swords meant to cut or shave—projectiles like these were dependent on the force of their penetration to be effective.

+10 Additional Effect of the Luck Pendant: Double the chance of an equipment or additional effect activating.

Allowing himself a slow deep breath, Bai Yunfei tightened his grip on the flying dagger.

"Upgrade!"

A flash of light overtook the dagger as he tightened his other fist over it!

Equipment Grade: High Heaven

Elemental Affinity: Space, Metal

Upgrade Level: +11

He managed to alter the outcome yet again. It went exceedingly smooth, actually. Not even a high-heaven tier soul armament felt difficult to upgrade to +11 anymore.

A shadow of hesitation crossed over his face—he was hesitating if he should upgrade it any furtehr.

The soul compatibility of the dagger was at 45% now that it was +11. Upgrading it to +12 would surely turn it into a soulbound armament, but that was a risky venture. He hadn't any +12 Guaranteed Upgrade Stone and altering the outcome of the Vampiric Blood Edge wasn't made in confidence. There was a relatively high risk of him failing if he tried now…

"I'll risk it!!"

It was time for his decision; +11 wasn't enough, he needed to upgrade it again!

A large stone roughly double the size of his fist appeared in his right hand—a high-heaven tier upgrade stone!

"Upgrade!"

He was nervous beyond belief. Prepared to alter the outcome if necessary, Bai Yunfei focused intensely on the dagger until…

Equipment Grade: High Heaven

Elemental Affinity: Space, Metal

Upgrade Level: +12

Attack: 6200

Additional Attack: 6000

Soul Compatibility: 60%

Equipment Effect: Capable of warp travel when thrown. The distance warped is dependent on soulforce given.

+10 Additional Effect: 50% Chance of doubling penetrative power when obstructed by a physical defense.

Cooldown of 1 minute.

+12 Additional Effect: Activate Voidsplitter upon contact. Disintegrate everything within 3 inches of the dagger.

Cooldown of 1 hour.

Upgrade Requirement: 300 Soulpoints

The upgrade managed to work!

"Phew…"

He heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of a successfully upgraded soul armament.

"Voidsplitter…it can destroy everything within three inches!" He breathed, "All of this is the effect of a single flying dagger…"

If the flying dagger hit someone, it'd most likely be on the shoulder, arm, or chest. It wouldn't really do too much damage normally, but if the +12 additional effect were to be applied...

If everything within a three-inch space was destroyed, what kind of effect would that have on a person?

Pleased with himself over this item, Bai Yunfei began to think for a moment. Smiling, he engraved a cloud onto the handle of the knife and then the name of the soul armament in the cloud's center.

Since it had the ability to tear through space…this flying dagger would be known as Voidsplitter!
