Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

"Fourth Soul Skill, Holy Nether Water Tornado."

A massive, deep blue storm formed on the seabed, and several thousand-year-old soul beasts were drawn into the storm by its powerful suction and mercilessly torn to pieces.

On the other side, several sea spirit beasts gathered their soul power and launched thick water jets at Chen Xuanyu, who was releasing his soul power.

A divine scale lay between the water column and Chen Xuanyu. The next moment, the water column appeared on one side of the scale. When the scale was balanced, the water column simply turned into a thin stream of water, falling helplessly from the middle.

Chu Ci floated above them, slowly extending his right hand, and countless ice spears appeared around him.

With a flick of his finger, the ice spear fell, trailing a blue flame at its end.

"Boom!" The ground was filled with sharp ice spears and covered in frost, and all the sea spirit beasts were reduced to dust.

Chu Ci glanced at it casually and noticed a hint of purple in the frozen remains of the sea spirit beast.

Chu Ci's eyes lit up, and he instantly flashed in front of her, reached out and pulled out a soul bone that emitted a faint purple light.

Chen Xuanyu noticed the commotion and came to Chu Ci's side. When he saw the soul bone in Chu Ci's hand, he exclaimed in surprise.

"The right arm bone of an eight-thousand-year-old giant lobster from the rocky sea."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xuanyu suddenly covered his mouth. Then, like a thief, he cautiously looked around.

After confirming that no one was around, Chen Xuanyu whispered to Chu Ci, "Quick, while no one is around, I'll protect you while you absorb this soul bone."

After collecting a certain amount of blood-based items, the people who accompanied Chu Ci and Chen Xuanyu left the group and returned to the safe zone.

Because cultivating in the Trial Grounds requires enduring the pressure of blood essence, and the pressure that each person can withstand varies, blood essence items are not necessarily a good thing for them.

After a period of collection, only Chu Ci and Chen Xuanyu remained among Chu Ci's group still collecting blood-based items. After all, given their physical abilities, the blood-based items would simply not be enough.

Seeing Chu Ci standing there in a daze, Chen Xuanyu impatiently punched him twice and urged, "Hurry up and absorb it, or it will be bad if someone finds out."

Chu Ci weighed the thousand-year-old soul bone in his hand, his eyes filled with embarrassment. To be honest, he didn't want to absorb it, because he really looked down on this thousand-year-old soul bone.

Chu Ci currently possesses only a piece of the right palm bone of a dark gold dinosaur claw bear. Although it is only a hundred years old, its quality far surpasses that of a thousand-year-old soul bone.

Absorbing this thousand-year-old soul bone is, for Chu Ci, pure land occupation.

When Chu Ci told Chen Xuanyu about his idea, Chen Xuanyu was shocked and expressed his incomprehension.

"Brother, this is a soul bone. With soul beasts nearly extinct these days, soul bones are practically extinct. Let alone a thousand-year-old soul bone, even a hundred-year-old soul bone is a rare treasure. Let's not be picky."

Chu Ci put away the soul bone, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Xuan Yu, do you know that soul bones can be artificially created?"

Chen Xuanyu was struggling to express his confusion when he suddenly heard the question about Chu Ci, and he was taken aback.

"I believe I can create even better soul bones," Chu Ci said softly.

Chen Xuanyu frowned, and after a long while, he said, "I know about artificial soul bones, but even the Spirit Transmission Tower hasn't cracked this technology yet. Old Chu, can you do it?"

Chu Ci smiled calmly and said, "Who among you would have thought that I would create the soul spirits needed for soul weapons!"

Chen Xuanyu fell silent, looking into Chu Ci's confident eyes, as if nothing could stump him.

Finally, after much struggle, Chen Xuanyu slowly said, "Alright, you can keep this soul bone for now, and I'll help you keep this a secret."

“Okay,” Chu Ci nodded, adding, “I will give you this soul bone after I have made some progress in my research.”

Chen Xuanyu rubbed his temples and waved his hand, "Do as you please, I don't care anymore."

Chapter 144 The Refinement of the Bloodfall, the Crimson Lotus in the Sea of ​​Blood

Chu Ci and Chen Xuanyu explored for a while longer before returning to the trial area with a full load of loot.

Chu Ci went straight to the sixth trial site, the Bloodfall.

As its name suggests, upon entering the sixth trial ground, one is greeted by a massive, blood-red waterfall.

Chu Ci embedded several blood-red pearls into the formation behind the blood-red waterfall.

With a "boom," endless streams of blood-red water surged down, crashing onto Chu Ci's body.

Chu Ci groaned and knelt down on one knee, barely managing to stay upright by supporting himself with his right hand on the ground.

The blood gushed forth with a thunderous roar, crashing down on Chu Ci's back once more.

Chu Ci's entire body trembled violently as the blood waterfall relentlessly washed over him, causing spider-like cracks to appear on his bones.

Chu Ci gritted his teeth, his soul power flowing through his body, which kept his bones from completely shattering.

As the blood waterfall washed over Chu Ci, wisps of blood energy surged into his body, lingering around his bones and transforming into a blood-red substance that filled the cracks in his bones, repairing the damaged bones.

The repaired bone had a faint red glow and was much stronger than the original bone.

Destruction precedes construction; this is the most miraculous effect of the Bloodfall.

In terms of body tempering ability, the Bloodfall is one of the most effective in the Douluo Continent.

However, the conditions are extremely harsh, and the process is extremely painful.

First, you need a certain level of physical training; otherwise, you'll be crushed into a pulp as soon as you enter the Bloodfall, and then how will you train? Second, you also need enough willpower to endure the pain of having your bones shattered.

Therefore, even though the Bloodfall's effects are arguably the best among the Blood Sea Gorge training grounds, very few people come to the Bloodfall to cultivate each time the Blood Sea Gorge opens, and Chu Ci is one of them.

Chu Ci endured the pain silently as the torrent of blood washed over him. He even tried to stand up under the onslaught of blood, but ultimately failed, his knees shattering completely.

The blood pearls in the magic circle dissipated, and the blood waterfall gradually stopped flowing.

After finishing his cultivation, Chen Xuanyu, who was waiting outside, rushed in and helped Chu Ci up.

"My God, Old Chu, you're a real wolf in sheep's clothing. A human soul master who dares to challenge the Bloodfall is one of the few who have established themselves in the Blood Sea Ditch training grounds."

Chu Ci leaned against Chen Xuanyu, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Xuan Yu, you can come to Bloodfall more often in the future; it can be very helpful."

Chen Xuanyu's lips twitched. He remembered his family's warning, glanced at the excited Chu Ci, hesitated for a long time, and then gritted his teeth.

"Okay, I'll go to the Bloodfall."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, "Okay, let's go. Let's have lunch first, then go to the first trial ground to meditate. The resources we collected this time are enough for the two of us to cultivate there for a whole night."

Chu Ci's movements in the Blood Sea Ditch training grounds were extremely regular. He would go to the exploration area every two days, and then cultivate in the trial area.

Chu Ci devoted most of his cultivation time to the Bloodfall in the First and Sixth Trials. In the remaining spare time, he would go to other trial grounds to cultivate other aspects, such as the Fourth Trial Ground and the Crimson Illusion Sea to cultivate his spiritual power.

And just like that, two months passed in a flash.

One day, just as Chu Ci and Chen Xuanyu were about to go to the trial area together, a boy swam up to them, panting heavily.

"What's wrong, Sun Ming? Is something the matter?" Chen Xuanyu asked in confusion. The person who came was Sun Ming, one of the two from the Sea God Legion.

Sun Ming stepped forward and said, "I just saw Qi Jiang taking that Soul King from Sea Spear City to the exploration area."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuanyu rolled his eyes. "Seriously, Sun Ming, do you really need to report this to me? Isn't going to the exploration zone a normal thing?"

Sun Ming slapped his thigh and said urgently, "But they just spent the whole day in the exploration area yesterday, why would they go there again today?"

"Oh? Is that so?" Chu Ci pinched his chin, looking thoughtful.

Chen Xuanyu and Chu Ci exchanged a glance, realizing that the other also felt that the matter was strange.

"Let's go, Lao Chu, let's cause them some trouble." Chen Xuanyu headed in the direction Sun Ming had indicated.

In the past two months, although there have been no major conflicts between the two groups, they have been constantly engaging in underhanded maneuvers.

If possible, Chu Ci would be happy to cause some minor trouble for Qi Jiang and his group.

Chu Ci and Chen Xuanyu acted quickly and soon found Qi Jiang and his companion's trail.

Chu Ci used the Scales of God to perfectly conceal her and Chen Xuanyu's presence, closely following behind Qi Jiang and the other two.

Soon, when Chu Ci saw the rare and precious plant in front of him, he understood why Qi Jiang had quietly come to the exploration area.

Blood Sea Crimson Lotus is a top-tier natural treasure that grows only in the Blood Sea Ravine. Consuming it grants the body protection from bloodthirsty energy, making it impervious to weapons. It greatly enhances physical strength and the power of qi and blood within the body.

Most importantly, this Blood Sea Crimson Lotus is a rare and precious plant that is about to break through 70,000 years old.

Chen Xuanyu stared in disbelief at the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus before him, and it took him a long time to recover before he said, "No way, what were the people who opened the training grounds doing? They didn't even notice such a rare and precious treasure."

"Who is in charge of cleaning up the training grounds this time?" Chu Ci suddenly asked.

Chen Xuanyu thought carefully for a moment and said, "I remember it was Qi..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xuanyu realized what was going on.

He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Those old fogies from the Qi family only know how to use underhanded tricks."

Chu Ci held Chen Xuanyu's shoulder and said calmly, "Stop talking nonsense. The best way to teach the Qi family a lesson is to completely thwart their plans."

After hearing this, Chen Xuanyu clenched his fist and asked, "Okay, Lao Chu, what do we do?"

Chu Ci looked at the pod of demonic orcas surrounding the Crimson Lotus of the Red Sea and smiled calmly, "Of course, I'll be the one to stalk the cicada."

The leader of this pod of demonic orcas, the Demonic Orca King, is 40,000 years old. At this moment, it is staring longingly at the Crimson Lotus of the Red Sea, waiting for it to break through 70,000 years before swallowing it whole.

By then, I will have surpassed 100,000 years and will be able to rule the Red Sea Trench in no time.

But the appearance of two Sea Soul Masters shattered its illusions. The two rushed into the pod of Demonic Orcas, and several thousand-year-old Demonic Orcas perished in an instant.

The Demon Orca King was enraged. Red light condensed at its tail, transforming into a battle axe blade as thin as a cicada's wing. With another flick of its tail, the Demon Orca Axe cleaved down towards Qi Jiang.

Qi Jianghai, imbued with the Martial Soul of the Sea Dragon, had pale blue dragon scales appear on his arms. He successfully blocked the Orca Demon Axe with his arms crossed, but was also sent flying by the powerful force of the collision.

Qi Jiang looked at the approaching swarm of demonic orcas and shouted, "Li Yue, go all out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, specks of blue light lit up on Qi Jiang's body, and pieces of armor engraved with mysterious blue patterns appeared on his body.

Blue light flowed, and most of Qi Jiang's body was enveloped in blue armor.

Chapter 145 The Cicada Awaits, Finally Obtaining the Blood Lotus

Chu Ci raised her eyes and carefully observed the battle armor on Qi Jiang's body. The completion level of this battle armor was quite high. It was only missing two or three parts to complete a full set of one-word battle armor.

After donning the One-Word Battle Armor, Qi Jiang's aura quickly rose to the level of a Senior Soul Emperor.

The Soul King Li Yue, who possessed the Sea Spear Martial Soul, had his arms covered by battle armor, and he also summoned battle armor.

After the two donned their battle armor, the battlefield instantly shifted from offense to defense. Qi Jiang rushed to the Demonic Tiger Whale King's side, his soul rings flashing, and his claws, imbued with intense energy, slammed into the Demonic Tiger Whale King.

A vortex containing water elements as deep as the ocean exploded on the Demon Orca King, causing it to let out a painful howl, and the blood flowing out added a cruel layer to the already blood-red seawater.

Even so, the ferocity in the eyes of the Demon Orca King did not diminish in the slightest.
