Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

Wang Jinxi used his third soul skill, and several bone spurs as thick as an arm appeared out of thin air.

Wang Jinxi plunged the tip of his bone spear downwards into the ground, infusing it with soul power. The bone spikes transformed into black streams of light, merging into the bone spear and disappearing into the earth.

Chu Ci felt a sudden alarm bell ring in his heart and leaped directly into the air.

In the next moment, several bone spikes as thick as an adult's body flew out from the ground and pierced towards Chu Ci.

The bone spear in Wang Jinxi's hand is a soul weapon—the Undead Bone—forged by Chu Ci. The Undead Bone can absorb Wang Jinxi's bone-type soul skills, enhancing them and releasing them flexibly.

The divine scales of Chu Ci have returned to balance, and the rich element of wind surrounds this body.

The Chu Ci describes riding the wind and nimbly dodging bone spurs in the air.

Wang Jinxi swung his bone spear, the bone spikes changing direction as they attacked Chu Ci once more.

Chu Ci activated his third soul skill, and bone spikes appeared on one side of the scales of the gods. When the scales were balanced, Chu Ci waved his sleeve, and a gust of wind blew by, scattering the bone spikes like dust.

With a wave of his hand, Chu Ci unleashed eight wind blades that slashed towards Zhang Yangzi, blocking all of his movement.

Zhang Yangzi moved through the air, trying his best to dodge, but there were still four wind blades that he could not avoid. So he activated his third soul skill again, and two dark demon claws appeared, grabbing Zhang Yangzi from the left and right, and protecting him completely.

Four wind blades struck the Dark Demon's Claw, shattering it and leaving Zhang Yangzi with minor scrapes.

While Chu Ci summoned the wind blades, Wang Jinxiye was not idle. The bone spear in his hand broke into pieces of bone fragments, which were then reassembled into bone claws attached to his hand.

Wang Jinxi unleashed his first soul skill, Bone Dragon Claw, to attack Chu Ci once more. After being amplified by the bones of the dead, the Bone Dragon Claw was not only much more powerful, but also large enough to easily envelop the entire Chu Ci.

Chu Ci waved his hand, and Tianzhu stopped playing with the Cursed Crow. Two huge dragon claws materialized, crossed, and tore the crows that surrounded it to shreds. The yin wind that gave birth to the crows was also burned into nothingness by the extremely yang and powerful flames on the dragon claws.

The Heavenly Candle transformed into a sword shape and flew into Chu Ci's hand. Chu Ci unleashed a sword strike, and the explosive fiery red sword energy swept across the sky, instantly shattering the Bone Dragon Claw into pieces.

When Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi saw Chu Ci holding the Heavenly Candle, their pupils contracted simultaneously, and their bodies tensed even more.

The shattered bone claws reassembled into a bone spear, which fell into Wang Jinxi's hand. The bone spear gleamed, and a milky white stream of light flew out and covered Wang Jinxi's right arm.

The light dissipated, and a bone armor resembling jade appeared on his right arm.

Zhang Yangzi's situation was similar to Wang Jinxi's. The Cursed Raven transformed into a pitch-black raven-head scepter, with black light spreading from it, forming a set of black arm armor with intricate patterns on Zhang Yangzi's right arm.

Chu Ci smiled with satisfaction as he watched this scene. "Not bad, you've already achieved the initial stage of soul weapon armor transformation."

Because both Soul Weapons and Battle Armor are made of forged metal, Soul Weapons also have similar abilities to enhance Soul Masters, a process that Chu Ci calls Soul Weapon Armor Transformation.

As the level of the Soul Weapon increases, the Soul Weapon's ability to enhance the Soul Master becomes more comprehensive and powerful.

The level of a Soul Weapon will increase along with the level of its wielder, up to level 90.

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi are now at level 35 in terms of soul power, and their soul weapons are also at level 35.

Currently, both the Undead Bone and the Cursed Netherworld are still very weak, and their amplification range can only cover the right arm.

Wang Jinxi shook his bones and unleashed his third soul skill, Bone Dragon's Thorn.

Wang Jinxi wielded the bones of the dead, and with each movement, the pale bone spurs melted into the bones, making his and the bones' aura increasingly terrifying.

After the bone spurs had completely integrated, Wang Jinxi took a step forward and made a javelin-throwing motion.

Wang Jinxi let out a low shout, concentrating all his soul power into his right arm. The right arm armor formed from the bones of the dead emitted a bright and eerie white light as he threw out the bones of the dead, which were already poised to strike.

The shadow of a bone dragon faintly appeared on the skeleton, its aura extremely terrifying. The bright white light and the black aura swirling around it blended together, creating an eerie scene. With a whoosh, the sound of air being torn apart rang out, and in the blink of an eye, the skeleton had already approached Chu Ci's eyes.

Chapter 64 Tests Zhang Wangbai, Chu Ci's Fourth Soul Skill

It's no exaggeration to say that Wang Jinxi's all-out gamble would be fatal to anyone who saw him below the Fifth Ring Road.

However, the unique four-ring structure of the Chu Ci is clearly not included in this category.

Chu Ci tried to dodge, but stopped abruptly. Looking down, she noticed two black rings had appeared under her feet, while one had appeared under Wang Jinxi's feet.

Imprisonment and reduced defense—these two characteristics are added to Chu Ci by the black ring.

Wang Jinxi's side had an even stronger momentum, and the black ring was clearly meant to increase damage.

Chu Ci turned around and saw Zhang Yangzi holding up a scepter, the crow's head on the scepter emitting a strange scarlet red light.

A golden-red glint flashed in Chu Ci's eyes, and he realized that at some point, a strange black aura that could only be detected by mental power had enveloped his body.

This is the cursed soul energy of the Cursed Raven, colorless and formless, detectable only by spiritual power, and is the most unique ability of the Cursed Raven scepter.

Chu Ci realized that this cursed soul energy was probably secretly planted on his side by the black crows that had separated from the cursed crows to entangle the heavenly candle.

Chu Ci smiled helplessly. He had been careless and had actually been hit by the curse wheel formed from cursed soul energy.

Restricted by the cursed wheel, Chu Ci had no choice but to take the blow head-on.

The red eyes on the Heavenly Candle opened, and a stream of red light flew out from the sword hilt, transforming into a right arm armor on Chu Ci's right arm that resembled pieces of crimson dragon scales.

The Heavenly Candle can certainly transform into more than just a right arm armor; it could cover even more areas, but there's no need for that.

Chu Ci gently stroked the sword, and a small sun appeared above his head. The light of the small sun shone around Chu Ci, containing the power of ultimate yang, which could ward off all evil.

If a discerning expert were to see this, they would be astonished to discover that the little sun is already a nascent form of a domain, just one step away from mastering it.

Under the light of the small sun, the power of the Cursed Wheel was reduced, and the aura of the nearby Bone Spear suddenly dropped. The Yang attribute truly is the natural counter to the Dark attribute.

The sword's melody was melodious, its intent soaring to the heavens. With a single stroke, Chu Ci's domineering power, capable of annihilating the world, was vividly displayed.

The bones of the dead were shattered by the Heavenly Candle, turning into black energy that returned to Wang Jinxi's hands, reverting to a black mark.

Wang Jinxi exhausted all his soul power with his final strike and collapsed to his knees, powerless.

Zhang Yangzi flapped his wings and landed on the ground, put away his martial spirit, and said helplessly, "I'm not fighting anymore, boss, you're too amazing."

"Aren't you going to show me your Martial Soul Fusion Technique?" Chu Ci said with a smile.

"Hehe, boss, you can't just strip us naked in one fight, can you?" Zhang Yangzi shrugged and said jokingly.

Chu Ci glanced at Wang Jinxi and found that his soul power was almost depleted, so he said, "Alright, I'll see your soul fusion technique again next time."

Chu Ci turned to look at the gray-eyed boy who had been standing silently at the edge of the training field.

"Come on, Tianzhe, let's practice again."

Bai Tianzhe stood on the training ground as instructed. When Chu Ci directly signaled him to take action, he was taken aback and asked, "Boss, aren't you going to recover your soul power first?"

"No need, let's finish this quickly," Chu Ci estimated that he had enough soul power.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chu Ci launched a sneak attack, and Wan Liyan transformed into a fiery lion head, letting out a deafening roar.

Bai Tianzhe instantly activated his martial soul, and an evil ghost with an obscured face appeared behind him. This was the Nightmare martial soul, which embodies the malevolent intent of devouring people.

Three spirit rings rose from Bai Tianzhe's feet, and his spirit power had reached a terrifying level of thirty-eight.

The intense mental shock hit Bai Tianzhe instantly. Even with his exceptional mental strength, Bai Tianzhe was momentarily stunned by the mental impact.

Yama Hook sensed that its master had been attacked, and automatically appeared, transforming into the form of a dark demonic tiger to protect Bai Tianzhe.

However, Chu Ci did not take the opportunity to attack, but instead activated his jet-black fourth soul ring.

Black patterns appeared on the scales of God. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the patterns were carved with demons that looked as if they had crawled out of hell.

A dog-headed, human-bodied spirit holding a scepter appeared beside Chu Ci. This was Chu Ci's second spirit—Anubis, a spirit that should not have existed in the Douluo Continent.

The balance of God enveloped Chu Ci and Bai Tianzhe in that one second when Bai Tianzhe was unable to control himself.

When Bai Tianzhe recovered, he found himself on one side of the scale, and a mysterious aura trapped him, preventing him from escaping.

Bai Tianzhe frowned deeply. Chu Ci had just broken through to the fourth ring, so Bai Tianzhe hadn't had time to understand what the effect of Chu Ci's fourth soul ring was.

In order to kill Fan Wanyi, Bai Tianzhe immediately activated his third soul skill, "Evil Thought Kills".

The evil thoughts stored in the nightmare condensed into a scythe-wielding demon under Bai Tianzhe's control. The demon was dressed in a black robe that seemed to be in reality, and appeared in front of Chu Ci in the blink of an eye, swinging the scythe down.

Bai Tianzhe's third soul skill, "Evil Thought Kills," allows Nightmare to summon evil spirits composed of spiritual power using evil thoughts. These evil spirits wield scythes to tear apart the opponent's soul, silently taking away the living like the Grim Reaper.

But Chu Ci remained completely calm in the face of this terrifying attack, casually unleashing a burst of flame.

Demons and flames appeared on opposite ends of the scale, causing the originally balanced scale to tip heavily toward the demon's side.

Upon seeing this, Anubis solemnly declared, "Those who violate the balance shall be judged."

A bolt of black lightning shot out from Anubis's scepter and headed straight for Bai Tianzhe.

Yama transformed into a scythe-like form, with long, cold chains coiling around Bai Tianzhe like venomous snakes.

With a thought, Bai Tianzhe sent out his scythe, which struck the lightning.

To everyone's astonishment, the lightning passed through the scythe as if it were nothing, transforming into a demonic claw that reached Bai Tianzhe and pierced his heart.

The demon's claw pierced through Bai Tianzhe's chest like a phantom, without causing him any wounds. However, Bai Tianzhe felt a piercing pain all over his body, and he felt as if he was drowning and could not breathe. Finally, he collapsed to the ground helplessly.

This is Chu Ci's fourth soul skill—Judgment of Evil by the Balance Scales. It places Chu Ci's attack and the enemy's attack on opposite sides of a balance scale. If the two attacks cannot keep the scales balanced, the enemy will be judged by Anubis. The judgment is unavoidable and undefendable, and its power is immense.

If the scales remain balanced, the trial ends and the soul skill is nullified.

The soul skill is quite domineering and powerful, but it has many limitations.

Unlike the third soul skill, the Judgment of Evil doesn't have a forced activation feature. Chu Ci must time its activation carefully, otherwise it's easy for the opponent to dodge it. Moreover, the soul skill consumes a lot of soul power; if it misses once, it's easy to fall behind in the following battle.

Of course, even with these limitations, Chu Ci was still very satisfied with this soul skill, which was worth the great effort he had put into creating Anubis.

Chapter 65: Another Battle Against the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear

The materials used to create the Soul Spirit Anubis from head to toe are almost entirely materials that are not native to the Douluo Continent. They are all special materials that Chu Ci obtained by using the Scales of God.

Then, following the myths of the previous life, Chu Ci pieced them together bit by bit. He failed countless times and poured a lot of resources into creating Anubis.

Of course, the final effect of the spirit Anubis undoubtedly justifies the resources invested.

"Tianzhe, you lost." Chu Ci put away the scales of the gods, came to Bai Tianzhe's side, and extended a hand to him.

The scales of God were put away, and Bai Tianzhe felt the pain in his body disappear. He stood up, panting, and grabbed Chu Ci's hand.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I will work harder in my cultivation in the future," Bai Tianzhe said, bowing his head and speaking in a serious tone.

"It's not that you didn't work hard enough, Tianzhe, it's that I'm too strong and too talented," Chu Ci said with a hint of pride.

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi approached Chu Ci, and Zhang Yangzi exclaimed in shock, "Boss, what's the effect of your fourth soul skill? It's so powerful!"

Chu Ci smiled but did not answer, instead changing the subject.

"Three years have passed, and soon we will be leaving Donghai City. You will be heading to the headquarters of the Temple of War."

"Really? That's great!" Zhang Yangzi exclaimed excitedly, while Wang Jinxi, who usually had a calm expression, also smiled noticeably.
