"This is the Shallow Strike, the prototype of all Soul Cutting Swords, and one of the foundational abilities of us Gods of Death. It is constantly worn and interacted with by Shinigami, writing the essence of their souls into the Soul Cutting Sword, creating one that belongs solely to them..."
Urahara Kisuke took out a seemingly ordinary Shallow Strike and placed it in front of Tao Yu.
Except for the Soul Cutting Swords passed down through generations by the Five Major Noble families and other noble families, almost all Soul Cutting Swords are crafted by the ’Sword God’ Oetsu Nimaiya of the current Zero Division.
However, the final formation of the Soul Cutting Sword still depends on the user themselves!
At this moment, Tao Yu looked at the Shallow Strike in front of him and, somewhat surprised, directly reached out to pick it up.
Although it appears solid, this Shallow Strike itself is forged from the fusion of a God of Death’s soul!
It’s called a ’sword,’ but in essence, it is a spiritualized weapon.
Even though Tao Yu did not resist the suppression of the Realm Will, relying on Sword Authority and Information Control at the moment, he quickly analyzed the components of this ’Shallow Strike.’
"Interesting, forged from souls to become a weapon. However, the material is too chaotic, requiring new guidance for the blade itself. Writing in one’s Will would indeed form a weapon specific to oneself. Unfortunately, the majority of Soul Cutting Swords have rules from your world written into them; their effectiveness in the outside world diminishes based on how these rules are utilized..."
Tao Yu held the sheath of the Soul Cutting Sword and then closed his eyes, slightly mobilizing Sacred Intent to start resisting the Realm Will.
In front of him, Urahara Kisuke, already surprised by how quickly Tao Yu identified some characteristics of the Soul Cutting Sword.
When Tao Yu began infusing Sacred Intent into the Soul Cutting Sword, an extremely terrifying Spiritual Pressure suddenly erupted!
That kind of Spiritual Pressure, as if capable of piercing the sky, instantly made Urahara Kisuke, Kokoro Kurosaki, and Tesai Miwa, these three Captain-level powerhouses, feel a sense of helplessness.
It was as if their bodies were enveloped in mercury, making them feel unusually heavy.
The space seemed to start twisting, and everything around appeared to turn into dust!
Just when Urahara Kisuke secretly thought it was not good, Tao Yu seemed to realize the issue, and the AT Field appeared temporarily, quickly wrapping his power.
It suppressed the negative effects to the surface of his now spiritualized body, rejecting all negatives completely.
"Sorry, I didn’t control that well."
Tao Yu glanced apologetically at the three, who were drenched in cold sweat, then withdrew the Shallow Strike, casually executing a wrist motion with the sword, and returned the Shallow Strike to its sheath.
"Indeed, it is an exceptional weapon. Such things will become the best specialty of your world. If you do not protect it well, the entire world being annihilated is not impossible..."
With Tao Yu’s prior Sacred Intent transformation, sufficient to withstand the Realm’s Spiritual Pressure, Urahara Kisuke instantly understood Tao Yu’s terrifying nature!
Even Captain Yamamoto might not be as formidable as him!
What he said before was entirely true!
He had merely entered this world and was suppressed by its will, yet possessed a clairvoyant ability that would certainly be considered formidable in the outside world!
Initially, Urahara Kisuke had high regard for him, but never imagined this was just the tip of the iceberg being so fearsome!
While heavy-hearted, Urahara Kisuke could not help but think of Tao Yu’s words behind him.
Using his keen mind, he quickly connected the dots, then hesitantly said,
"Are you saying that your Pioneers can use Soul Cutting Swords outside as well?!"
"Not entirely, but for those who are users of the spiritual and soul side, there is indeed the possibility to gain power usable externally, though using it won’t be as smooth as in this world, it would be somewhat effective."
Actually, Tao Yu was also somewhat surprised. It might be that the Shallow Strike requires the user’s own soul aura to soak in to complete the final forging.
Thus, the weakening of this power outside may somewhat resemble Chakra.
It is true that universality will be limited, but there will be a baseline, and depending on the individual, the performance will differ.
Feeling the Sword Soul within the Soul Cutting Sword, already polluted by himself, Tao Yu was also somewhat speechless.
It had just been acquired, yet without much written into it, it was already messed up?
Wondering what it would form once completed.
But the good news is, the process of nurturing the Soul Cutting Sword can be accelerated using Yuan Force, ensuring it can be formed before matters here are wrapped up, unlike ordinary God of Death taking much time.
"This... how many strong individuals like sir are there, I wonder."
Urahara Kisuke hesitantly said.
"Oh, not many, so you need to pay attention, don’t just casually give outsiders power to adapt."
Tao Yu’s Sacred Intent has the dual benefaction of [Essence of Fist Intent] Talent and Kabbalah Tree of Life Sacred Intent Ascension.
If using the sword, there is also Sword Authority, supplemented by Immortal Slaying Sword Intent.
Even so, his own assessment, roughly just a quarter-hour at full force is the limit.
For ordinary Saints arriving in this world, the difficulty of opposing with Sacred Intent is naturally greater.
Thinking of the strong in the Soul Reaper World, if they don’t die too many from his havoc, they would really be tough bones.
"I understand, thank you for the reminder, sir."
Urahara Kisuke showed a grateful expression on his face and then seemed to be pondering something.
Tao Yu glanced sideways at him and said,
"What are you thinking? I’ve already started, you don’t want to control from the start, do you? Hurry up, bring out the Hollows and souls you’ve captured."
