Rain of Creation

In that instant, the entire sea of consciousness seemed to freeze.

A terrifying pressure radiated outward from Leugocyte.

It was not the pressure of an ordinary spirit beast, nor the spirit power suppression of a spirit master, but an aura that did not belong to this world at all.

Vast, icy, and grand, it felt as though it had descended from the depths of a higher-dimensional universe.

The purple Hell Demon Dragon, which had been preparing to pounce on Lu Chen, suddenly stiffened.

The madness in its eyes was instantly replaced by fear.

The next moment, the Hell Demon Dragon's resentment was pinned directly to the ground.

Its body was pressed hard against the floor of the sea of consciousness, unable to even lift its head, and it could only emit a shrill, mournful cry.

Seeing this, Lu Chen's expression turned somewhat subtle.

He had originally wanted to try handling it himself.

If he truly couldn't hold it back, it wouldn't have been too late to ask Leugocyte for help.

As it turned out, Leugocyte hadn't given him the chance to try at all.

Leugocyte lowered its dragon head, looking down at the purple Hell Demon Dragon pinned within the sea of consciousness.

Then, it opened its maw.

Energy of extreme heat rapidly condensed in front of its dragon head.

The moment the deep red light appeared, Lu Chen recognized the skill.

Genesis Elegy.

Leugocyte's signature move.

The next instant, a deep red destructive laser erupted outward.

The beam possessed no superfluous variations, yet it carried an aura of ultimate destruction, instantly piercing through the Hell Demon Dragon's spiritual remnant.

The purple Hell Demon Dragon couldn't even put up a fight.

The moment its resentment touched the deep red laser, it began to disintegrate and evaporate, as if it had never existed at all.

In just a moment, the Hell Demon Dragon's spiritual remnant vanished completely.

The remaining spiritual energy was swallowed directly by Leugocyte.

As this spiritual energy was consumed, Lu Chen suddenly felt a sense of clarity wash over his mind.

The feeling was incredibly comfortable.

It was as if his sea of consciousness had been cleansed, or as if some chaotic pressures had been swept away.

The soul shock that might have caused an impact not only failed to harm him, but actually left his mental state in an even better condition.

After finishing all this, Leugocyte did not move again.

It glanced at Lu Chen, then closed its eyes once more, falling back into a deep slumber.

The sea of consciousness returned to calm.

Watching Leugocyte, which had quieted down after its display of might, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

"I really wanted to try it myself, and only ask for your help if I couldn't manage."

The Hell Demon Dragon's resentment had been cleared away, so there would be no real obstacles to the absorption process from here on out.

Lu Chen gathered his focus and continued to guide the power of the ten-thousand-year spirit ring into his body.

Outside, Bibi Dong had been observing Lu Chen the entire time.

At the beginning, the fluctuations of the black spirit ring had indeed been extremely violent, even more ferocious than when he absorbed his first spirit ring.

However, not long after, that volatility was suppressed.

After another period of time, the aura around Lu Chen gradually stabilized.

The spiritual shock that had been so concerning did not cause him any abnormalities.

The tension in Bibi Dong's eyes finally began to fade away.

Yue Guan also let out a sigh of relief.

"It seems he has succeeded."

Gui Mei watched the black spirit ring gradually stabilizing around Lu Chen and whispered, "Indeed, he has succeeded."

Yue Guan couldn't help but exclaim, "This is truly incredible."

He looked at Lu Chen, his tone filled with obvious amazement.

"A thousand-year first spirit ring, and a ten-thousand-year second spirit ring."

"If this were told to others, I fear no one would dare believe it."

"At this rate, I'm afraid Xiao Chen's future spirit ring ages will only become more and more outrageous."

As he reached this point, he suddenly seemed to think of something and chuckled, "Perhaps by the time he reaches his sixth spirit ring, he might be able to attempt a hundred-thousand-year one."

Gui Mei glanced at him without refuting the claim.

Because based on what Lu Chen had demonstrated so far, while such a statement sounded absurd, it was not entirely impossible.

Bibi Dong did not join in their musings.

However, the gaze she fixed upon Lu Chen was undeniably filled with a hint of satisfaction that she could not quite conceal.

After another while, Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

The black soul ring had completely stabilized.

Beside him, one purple and one black soul ring rotated slowly.

The deep purple soul ring represented the eight-thousand-year Azure Thunder Dragon Hawk.

The black soul ring represented the ten-thousand-year Hell Demon Dragon.

The two soul rings hovered one after the other beside Lu Chen, their colors distinct and their auras stable.

Lu Chen looked down at these two soul rings, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

Although it was not like some of the transmigrator predecessors he knew of, who started with hundred-thousand-year or million-year soul rings, or even more exaggerated ones.

But for him right now, an eight-thousand-year first soul ring and a ten-thousand-year second soul ring were already quite good.

At the very least, Lu Chen was satisfied with this start himself.

Bibi Dong stepped forward and asked: "How do you feel?"

Lu Chen stood up and replied: "Very well, Teacher."

Yue Guan asked impatiently: "Xiao Chen, what is your second soul skill?"

Although Gui Mei did not speak, his gaze was likewise fixed on Lu Chen.

Bibi Dong was also quite curious.

The first soul skill, Void Dragon Form, was already extremely unique, not at all like a skill the Azure Thunder Dragon Hawk itself could bestow.

Now that the second soul ring came from a Hell Demon Dragon, and was a ten-thousand-year ring at that, they naturally wanted to know what ability Lu Chen would gain this time.

Lu Chen closed his eyes, carefully sensing the information transmitted by the second soul ring.

A moment later, he opened his eyes.

His expression remained somewhat strange.

However, this time, he was not as completely confused as before; instead, he seemed to have figured something out.

Bibi Dong noticed his expression and asked: "Is it still different from the soul beast's abilities?"

Lu Chen nodded.

"Yes."

Yue Guan raised an eyebrow.

"It's not the Hell Demon Dragon's ability either?"

Lu Chen said: "It is not."

He paused for a moment to collect his thoughts, then looked at Bibi Dong.

"Teacher, my second soul skill is called Rain of Creation."

"It is an area-of-effect soul skill."

"It comes with annihilation and tearing effects."

There was one more thing Lu Chen did not say: this was also the signature skill of Leugocyte.

Yue Guan's eyes flickered.

"An area-of-effect soul skill with annihilation and tearing effects?"

Gui Mei said in a low voice: "It sounds highly offensive."

Bibi Dong, however, did not rush to judge.

She looked at Lu Chen and asked: "Is there more?"

Lu Chen was silent for a moment.

Then he said: "I have discovered that my soul skills do not seem to come from the soul beasts."

This statement caused all three of them to freeze.

Lu Chen continued: "Whether it is the first soul skill, Void Dragon Form, or the second soul skill, Rain of Creation, neither seems like an ability that the Azure Thunder Dragon Hawk or the Hell Demon Dragon could bestow."

"They are more like they are generated by my own martial soul."

Having said this, his tone gradually became certain.

"In other words, when I need soul rings in the future, I can simply choose soul beasts of the corresponding age."

"I don't need to consider the species."

Lu Chen looked at Bibi Dong and said earnestly: "The soul ring is merely the key to unlocking the soul skill; what truly determines the soul skill is my martial soul itself."

I suppose my future soul skills will basically just be Leugocyte's own skills, Lu Chen thought to himself.
