Black-Robed Spirit Severing Cultivator
Black-Robed Spirit Severing Cultivator is Hanxue Zong's master and the Black Lands Palace expert who attacks Holy Snow City for the Frigid Snow legacy.
Biography
Assault on Holy Snow City
He descends above the city and opens a Heavenly Pit beneath its defenses, treating the Frigid Snow Clan's weakened condition as an opportunity to seize its ancestral brands. Hanxue Bao answers with a legacy tempest, but the black-robed cultivator has brought Hanxue Zong specifically because the disciple's blood can interfere with that bloodline power. (Chapters 374–375)
His First Severing turns daylight into a black sun and produces a black Lightning Blade. It cuts through the Yellow Springs manifestation and lets him advance toward Meng Hao while the latter receives the branding. When ordinary use of Hanxue Zong's blood is insufficient, the master liquefies his own disciple into bloodline fuel without hesitation. (Chapters 376–377)
Destruction and return
The completed Agarwood manifestation counters the assault. The cultivator insists that reincarnation will preserve him even as body and attack turn to ash. That confidence proves partly justified: a new body later forms elsewhere in the Western Desert, carrying his memory and vow to meet Meng Hao again. (Chapters 378 and 388)
Appearance and personality
He wears black robes and manifests as or beneath a black sun. Contemptuous and ruthlessly instrumental, he regards even a disciple as material for a bloodline technique. His confidence rests on a genuine survival art, not merely bluff, though regeneration does not make the destroyed body invulnerable.
Abilities and cultivation
Severing of Daytime
His First Severing removes or negates daylight, creating a black solar manifestation. From it he forms a black Lightning Blade capable of cutting through the Yellow Springs legacy. The severing changes the battlefield's natural condition, but opposing completed legacy power can destroy it.
Heavenly Pit
He opens an enormous abyss under Holy Snow City, attacking its physical foundation and defenses simultaneously. It is large-scale siege magic rather than a portable trap.
Bloodline exploitation
Hanxue Zong's related blood weakens or bypasses Frigid Snow protections. Liquefying the disciple amplifies the effect but consumes the person completely, showing both the technique's power and cost.
Reincarnation
Reduction to ash does not permanently kill him; he reconstructs a body after an interval. The source does not show instant return at the battle site, so the art should not be treated as immediate combat healing.
Relationships
- Hanxue Zong: Disciple sacrificed as bloodline material.
- Hanxue Bao: Defender whose inherited manifestations he attempts to break.
- Meng Hao: Recipient of the legacy whose Agarwood manifestation destroys his attacking body.
Items
No independently notable portable item is documented; the Lightning Blade is a manifestation of his Severing.
