Blade's Stories: The only thing he could sense was a splotch of crimson in his sight and the taste of iron in his mouth. His limbs were unresponsive. — He must have died.

"Do you remember?" He opened his mouth, lost, his voice as coarse as a savage beast's. The sound from his throat stopped abruptly as the cold, hard object penetrated his torso. Again and again, this repeated for thousands of times.

How marvelous. When his muscle fibers tore open, he could hear the tiny sounds of tendons bridging and reconnecting. How marvelous. The monster in his body was being nourished, but he would let it grow into a massive beast. How marvelous. He had already lost all will to live, but his body regenerated without any consideration for his preferences. How marvelous.

Before the sword pierced his body once more, he grabbed it with his bare hands and slowly stood up. "Do you remember now?" He met the woman's blood-red eyes, his mind still empty. — He was run through by the sword once again. "Remember the feeling of death, and bring it to them."

Crimson resurfaced in his vision. He stared at the sword that killed him. The blade was broken in half and lying on the ground. "Rise, and let me kill you once more."

The only thing he could sense was a splotch of crimson in his sight and the taste of iron in his mouth. His limbs were unresponsive. — He must have died.

The black-haired young man shivered violently all over, but still clutched onto the spear in his hands. He had no dragon horns, and his reaction was slightly less mature than he remembered... But he would never forget this spear, these eyes, and how cruelty burst out from beneath the mirror-like emerald calmness. His wounds began to heal. His irises flickered and fixed their gaze at the boy once more. Without hesitation, the boy made another flourish with the spear...

"That's it." The one who showed no mercy to enemies - was you. The one who single-handedly buried the beloved - was you. The one who almost led the place called home to its destruction - was also you.

He fell down again. The teen pressed his hand against his own wounds and retreated, until he was no longer in the man's sight. "Before I witness your death in person, we will meet again, ███."

Blade's notable quotes: • Parting : Go. When the mara strikes, you don't want to be next to me. • About Self: Name: To whittle oneself away, to tear your enemies apart — that is the power of a blade. • About Self: Mara-struck We are all mara-stricken in different ways, but my situation is unusual.

I become something else. • Chat: Stellaron Hunters: By banding together, we reach our goals. • Chat: Immortality: The hope that "this will be the last time" always vanishes in bitter healing of the flesh. • Chat: Sacrifice: Of five people, three must pay a price... These words are carved into my every wound... • Blade's Hobbies: Only in the brief moments of its wielding can a blade truly disappear. • Blade's Annoyances: When will death come for me? My patience is wearing thin. • Something to Share: There are countless weapons sharper than mine, but after a thousand clashes, what does it matter? • Knowledge: The dead know no fear.

Yingxing's Life: As a child, Yingxing's homeworld was destroyed by the borisin and transformed into one of their weapons nurseries. He somehow made his way to the Xianzhou on a merchant vessel, where he was discovered by Master Huaiyan of the Xianzhou Zhuming's Artisanship Commission and made his apprentice. Yingxing vowed to make weapons for the Cloud Knights in order to avenge his home and family, and was an exceedingly talented craftsman, described as being incredible at his work by earning accolades at such a young age.

During his time on the Zhuming, Yingxing met Baiheng when she was assigned to a delegation to request arms and reinforcements from the ship for the Yaoqing's Heroncrest Fleet, who were occupied with fighting the borisin. He was tasked with receiving the delegation at Radiant Zenith and escorting them to his Master at Flamewheel Forge. Along the way, Baiheng talked to the shy and insecure boy, who she started calling Little Yingxing, and he opened up about his past to her. Once there, Huaiyan was willing to allocate three hundred fighter jets, twenty thousand thunder crossbows, and twenty thousand devastator glaives in response to Helm-Master Qingying's request for reinforcements, but only a dozen or so personnel.

Though Yingxing was a shy boy in his youth, he became more confident as he grew up, and was described to be an arrogant man by many. Over time, Yingxing forged hundreds of weapons, four being his most famous. These weapons were subsequently used by the members of the High-Cloud Quintet, and he was assumedly inducted by Jingliu into the group. At first, she wasn't fond of his defiant nature, but when they met again, he was able to craft weapons that astonished the master craftsmen, and snatched the Artisanship Commission title of "Furnace Master." While he didn't fight on the front lines, Yingxing was still present during battles with military engineers.

Yingxing was shown to be close to the other Quintet members, and would regularly drink and spar with them. At some point, fellow member Dan Feng, the High Elder of the Xianzhou Luofu's Vidyadhara at the time, allowed Yingxing into the Dragon Palace at Scalegorge Waterscape to return a favor.

In the Year 7379 of the Star Calendar, in an event that later came to be known as the "Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae," Dan Feng caused turmoil by "stealing" the power of the Abundance and changing the Transmutation Arcanum, breaking the foremost of ten unpardonable sins on the Xianzhou, with the help of Yingxing. This event occurred in the aftermath of a devastating war against Shuhu, an Emanator of Yaoshi, where Baiheng lost her life. Their tampering with the Ambrosial Arbor caused the creation of a draconic beast, and because of Yingxing's involvement and use of Shuhu's flesh in the process, he was transformed into an immortal being and struck with mara. This caused Yingxing to harbor an immense resentment for Dan Feng, and in turn, his reincarnation, Dan Heng.

In the aftermath of the Sedition, Yingxing was assumedly banished from the Xianzhou, and lost a majority of his memories. During this time he was discovered by Jingliu, who taught him swordplay, but also killed him multiple times to remind him of the karma of his past actions. He went on to seek out Dan Heng with murderous intent, chasing him across multiple IPC spaceships. No matter how many times they fought and Dan Heng killed him in self-defense, Yingxing always came back in pursuit.

Some time after this, he was discovered by Elio, who saw a use for his immortality, and was convinced to join the Stellaron Hunters in exchange for a deal, promising to bring an "eternal end and final funeral" to his life and everything he had ever hated.

• The Stellaron Hunters are a faction, Blade is one of them. Founded and led by Elio, they are a mysterious organization that collect Stellarons and are followers of the Finality. They are said to work against the Interastral Peace Corporation.

• In a quiet moment in time, the Cancer of All Worlds began to cause ripples across the stars, like a rock tossed into a pool of water. Before anyone noticed, this twisted and unknown matter had already corrupted a great number of worlds, but resplendent and mesmerizing gems accompanied this corrosive mud — gems known as the Stellarons. Death and despair followed wherever Stellarons went. For many civilizations who have experienced the disasters it brings, Stellarons are symbols of destruction. However, despite the Stellarons' nature, there emerged the fearless few who travel between worlds to obtain Stellarons. They call themselves the Stellaron Hunters. No one knows anything about the Stellaron Hunters aside from what they have done. Which Aeon do they worship? What do they want with the Stellaron? With the cosmos filled with rumors about them, only one thing is for certain: Though the Stellaron Hunters are few in numbers, each of them holds incredible capacities and powers.
