Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 819 My Demon Gauntlet is far more useful than that gourd.
[The extra weapon you possess, "Demon Gauntlets," has been detected to have a special soul-stealing effect—]

[Your Demon Gauntlet has successfully captured an unclaimed spirit essence that remains suspended in the air—"Hayabusa."]

[Your Demon Gauntlet has gained a new "Enlightenment" function, allowing you to absorb souls and spirits, and even take the essence of powerful demons for your own use, thus granting you related abilities.]

[Your Demon Gauntlets can store an unlimited number of souls, spirit essences, and spirit fragments, but only one spirit fragment can be equipped at a time.]

Your maximum innocent soul reserve has been increased by 10.

[Spiritual Falcon Hermit: Spiritual Essence, Active Skill. Consumes 100 MP, temporarily transforms into a falcon hermit, releasing a small gust of frost-infused wind that deals at least 5 hits, each dealing 50 points of frost damage. Each successful hit increases the base probability of the target entering a frozen state by 10%, stacking. Spiritual Essence has a 60-second cooldown. While frozen, the target cannot move or use any skills, and will receive a 200% damage bonus if struck by a blunt weapon during this period, lasting 3 seconds.]

[The scope of influence of this capability is expanding—]

[The following sinful souls you currently possess have been detected: Undying Vega, Unwilling Gith, Breath of the Storm, Flame of Destiny, Dry Earth, Raging Lightning, Qin Konglong, Qin Hailong, and Resentful Astaroth.]

[Your current Guardian Spirit has been detected as Saul Toba.]

All the souls you possess will give rise to corresponding spirit abilities; you can view the specific effects yourself.

[Additional comment: As I said before, for your enemies, death is merely the beginning...]

Yes, that's right. Cheng Tian's Ghost Gauntlet has acquired the same soul-absorbing effect as the gourd in the hands of the Chosen One, which has been enlightened.

This isn't something acquired out of thin air; it's simply a result of reasonably adjusting the effects of existing equipment.

Moreover, Cheng Tian's Demon Gauntlet is even more exaggerated than the gourd in some ways. As long as Cheng Tian activates it with all his might, even if he doesn't move, the soul fragments scattered all over the battlefield will be directly sucked into the Demon Gauntlet's absorption vortex.

For the battlefield, this efficiency in gathering resources goes without saying.

Although Cheng's hatred towards Huang Mei had skyrocketed due to the Midas Touch bag, he remained completely unfazed and didn't take it seriously at all.

If Yellow Eyebrows wants to touch him, he'll have to get past Monkey King first!
However, Cheng Tian, ​​who was happily slacking off here while constantly collecting and plundering battlefield soul resources, was unaware that his actions were inadvertently becoming the final straw that broke the back of the Black Heavenly Court's Yin soldiers and Yin Zhi!
These ghostly soldiers of the Black Heavenly Court are almost incomparable to regular heavenly soldiers and generals in terms of rank.

Although it is true that some heavenly soldiers and generals are chosen after death, they have at least gone through the proper procedures and are legitimate beings who have achieved perfect merit or been enlightened and ascended to immortality. Even if they are nameless and faceless, and only appear as background figures in the siege of Flower Fruit Mountain, they are still part of the regular Heavenly Court establishment and are living gods.

But these soldiers of the Black Heavenly Court were simply undead units wearing armor.

Furthermore, some players who have already participated have tested it and found that these wraith soldiers fear the Holy Light and the salvation of the dead.

However, the ghostly soldiers of the Black Heavenly Court possess a unique characteristic that the heavenly soldiers and generals do not have—

That is the unparalleled ability to return to the battlefield. As beings that are essentially no different from the mobile armor in Castlevania, the souls of the Wraith Soldiers are almost entirely attached to the armor cast from molten copper and iron. As long as the armor is not completely destroyed, they have a chance to start over.

When a ghost soldier is shattered on the spot by an enraged celestial soldier, but retains 50% of its armor, it will be drawn back by the same lightning as when it descended to the mortal realm, and then thrown into front of the Tushita Palace.

Then, a considerable number of Taoist priests would appear in the Tushita Palace, skillfully carrying in all the Yin soldiers whose armor was not completely rotten. They would then feed them into the molds almost like an assembly line, and after arranging the armor parts, the boy would simply pour a pile of boiling liquid directly onto them.

As for the screams of the ghost soldiers, they had long been silenced by the Taoist priest and the boy using their supernatural powers.

Although they didn't know what had happened in the lower realm that would cause these ghostly soldiers and generals to suffer such damage, it was clearly unrelated to these Taoist disciples. They were only responsible for repairs, not for finding the cause of the armor damage.

After the armor mold was pressed, the screaming ghost soldiers were pushed directly into the water for tempering, which accelerated the hardening of the armor. However, before the water vapor on the armor could dissipate, the ghost soldiers were enveloped in magic power and returned to the battlefield in the form of thunder.

Each time these ghost soldiers are destroyed, they leave behind some soul fragments, which they can pick up themselves when they return to the battlefield to complete themselves. These soul fragments are usually difficult for others on the battlefield to refine immediately... But then, Cheng Tian appeared, a battlefield vacuum cleaner!

Those soul fragments that should have been scattered in their original places were all collected into the Demon Gauntlet without exception.

Thus, the celestial soldiers, shattered time and again by the allied forces, returned to the battlefield time and time again. However, with the continuous loss of their soul fragments, not only did their strength gradually weaken, but they also began to lose their memories.

Until the very last bit of its essence disappeared into the Ghost Eye, it completely lost its connection with the Black Heavenly Court.

However, in a sense, for these ghost soldiers and generals who were forcibly conscripted and condemned to eternal damnation, becoming part of Cheng Tian's resources might not be such a bad ending...

And so, the Yin soldiers and generals of the Black Heavenly Court, whose "immortality" had been broken by Cheng Tian, ​​were directly overwritten by the Heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court with almost no resistance, completely replacing or swallowing their ecological niche in this world, thus freeing up more space to accommodate them.

On the Meishan murals near the Pagoda, even more heavenly soldiers and generals are beginning to "refresh".

The Black Heavenly Court was also humorous. This assembly-line repair work on the ghost soldiers and generals meant that they had no communication whatsoever with these real cattle and horses. There were only screams inside and outside the Tushita Palace, and there was no dialogue at all.

So much so that after losing hundreds of Yin soldiers and generals, the Black Heavenly Court finally realized that something was wrong.

This is no longer an ordinary Xiaoxitian; we must strike hard!
And so, dark clouds pressed down upon Little Western Heaven.

A large number of ghost soldiers and generals appeared, stepping on black clouds. But at that very moment, Nezha, who had been coldly watching the battlefield, suddenly sharpened his gaze and stared intently at the sky.

In the center of that throng of ghostly soldiers and generals, there stood a figure riding a jet-black chariot and holding a black pagoda—

He is none other than Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King of this world!
