Powers & Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Immortality: During the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae, Yingxing attempted to use the flesh of the Emanator of Abundance Shuhu to revive his companion Baiheng. In the course of the event, Yingxing's body became infused with the power of the Abundance. He lost most of his memories in the process and became afflicted with "mara," a curse suffered by those who received the blessing of the Aeon of Abundance. As a result of the power of Abundance flowing through him, Blade could not die. He did not age physically or mentally and his body quickly healed from any wounds. In the event that he sustained lethal damage, he fell unconscious for a short while before resurrecting.
Abilities[]
- Master Craftsmanship: Yingxing was taught how to craft weapons by Huaiyan, the Master of the Artisanship Commission and Arbiter-General of the Xianzhou Zhuming. Possessing immense talent, he quickly became a master artisan capable of forging truly sophisticated and exquisite weapons. He was awarded numerous accolades for his work and was even eventually entitled "Furnace Master," the head of all Xianzhou artisans, despite his young age and short lifespan. However, after dying and being reborn for the first time, the man who would become Blade completely lost the talent he had once possessed.
- Master Swordsmanship
Equipment[]
- Shard Sword: The finest of Yingxing's creations were without a doubt a set of four weapons which he crafted as gifts for the other members of the High-Cloud Quintet. Among those four weapons was a flawless one-handed broadsword that he gifted to the Sword Champion Jingliu. The sword was five feet long, had an ebony-colored blade with a sanguine sheen, and was painstakingly forged out of the cores of alien metals. Even though the sword was among the greatest weapons ever forged, it was unable to properly withstand being wielded by the legendary Sword Champion. As a result, the blade was eventually covered in cracks from the wear and tear it suffered. Henceforth, it was referred to as the "Shard Sword." Sometime after the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae, Jingliu returned the Shard Sword to its creator.
