The Shikotsumyaku had been immensely powerful when Lin Chuan's cultivation was still weak. It combined offense and defense, and was one of Lin Chuan's genuine trump cards. But as his cultivation rose and more powerful abilities emerged—such as the abilities granted by the three great Dojutsu, along with other formidable spells and magical treasures—the Shikotsumyaku's role in actual combat had steadily diminished.
After all, Lin Chuan was not a body-refining cultivator. He rarely had the chance to engage others in close-quarters combat, and the Shikotsumyaku could only display its greatest power at close range. Given Lin Chuan's current strength, unless the Shikotsumyaku evolved into the All-Killing Ash Bones, the power it could unleash would remain very limited.
However, that situation had changed greatly after Lin Chuan awakened the Buddha Clan bloodline and obtained the Buddha's True Scripture, one of the three great Primordial Scriptures!
Among the three great scriptures, the Buddha's True Scripture specialized in the physical body. Cultivating this scripture greatly strengthened the flesh, and bones were naturally part of the body. As a result, Lin Chuan's Shikotsumyaku had also been enhanced through his cultivation of the Buddha's True Scripture. His bones were now tougher than many high-grade magical treasures, making his close-combat ability terrifying.

The stark white bones of the Shikotsumyaku nearly instantly pierced all over Jiang Feng's body. Their terrifying penetrating power and hardness directly broke through the powerful defenses of Jiang Feng's flesh. Although the muscles in his body ultimately clamped down on them, preventing fatal injury, he had already been completely pushed into a disadvantage in this
