Chapter 728: A Rare Sight, the Double-Star Spell
Bone Prison, when he had just acquired this skill, Jiang Chen used it often.
At that time his combat power was weak, requiring various controls over enemies.
Whether chasing enemies, dictating battle tempo, or interrupting enemy skills, Bone Prison's effect was very clear.
Later, as enemies grew stronger, the skill's potency began to fall behind.
Moreover, as his power kept rising, his fighting style became more expansive, and Bone Prison's usage frequency dwindled.
In the recent few battles, he hadn't employed this skill at all.
Jiang Chen always believed there are no useless skills, only useless practitioners and unsuitable situations.
A temporary uselessness of Bone Prison doesn't mean it will stay useless forever.
Finally, Bone Prison has now transformed from an ordinary skill into a spell, and it's a Star-level spell.
Even though it cannot bear a law, it remains very powerful.
Skill rank is no longer its limit; only Spiritual Power limits it.
As long as Spiritual Power is sufficient, it can fully restrain an enemy, and Jiang Chen lacks nothing in Spiritual Power.
With the skill becoming a spell, the trait of reduced damage vanished, no longer affecting damage to foes.
Imagine controlling an enemy and striking while it cannot resist—that's how satisfying.
Jiang Chen wishes he could now control Long Huang and beat it hard.
But Jiang Chen also knows Long Huang isn't that easy to control.
Even if he expends all his Spiritual Power, effective control over it would still be difficult.
After all, their levels differ vastly; he is only level 80, Long Huang is already level 99, at the Half-step Super God Peak.
Advancing another half-step would be a bona‑fide Super God
level.
And the unnamed Giant Axe in his hand brings his power infinitely close to Super God level.
Also the final skill that appears like a black hole makes Jiang Chen feel that, with just these two skills, surpassing Long Huang is still hard.
"It's not an attack skill; even if it can't bear a law, the impact is minor."
Jiang Chen comforts himself.
Facing the formidable mysterious Great World Rune, he had already luckily won once.
This time, the Great World Rune gave him no chance, directly sealing his spell so it could not bear a law.
Thus, even a perfect Star-level spell is only a bit stronger than an ordinary skill.
Compared with spells that bear laws, it is far weaker.
Antares seems still in contemplation, not opening its eyes.
Jiang Chen also does not disturb it, silently watching the new resident in the Soul World.
The Star representing Bone Prison is likewise a solitary one, with no planet‑level spells orbiting it.
But this is normal; in Jiang Chen's conception, it will eventually convert all planet‑level spells into Star-level.
All spells' fusion rate rises to 100%,
even the Great World Rune cannot prevent him from doing so.
"Huh? What's happening?"
Jiang Chen discovers that the two Stars representing Bone Prison and Bone Fang are drawing near.
A faint link seems to have formed between them.
Jiang Chen sees what looks like a filament extending from the two Stars, like a tentacle, connecting them.
They approach each other, and after reaching a certain distance, begin to orbit one another.
The rotation speeds up, creating a dazzling scene.
"It's a double star!"
Suddenly Antares's sigh
echoed.
It had awakened at an unknown time, its eyes bright as it stared at the two rotating Stars.
Jiang Chen asks, "What is a double star?"
Antares's eyes flash with brilliance, "Each Star represents a spell; when two Stars of similar nature draw near and attract each other to form a connection, a pattern where each contains the other emerges, which is called a double star."
"Once a double star forms, the spell's effect increases dramatically."
"With one spell you can achieve the effects of two spells, yet only incur the cost of one."
"The key is that two spells can simultaneously bear two sets of laws and unleash them together…"
At this point, Antares suddenly closes its mouth.
It realized that Jiang Chen could not bear a law, and it had just hit Jiang Chen's weak point.
Jiang Chen isn't bothered; he grasped the key point from Antares's words.
"I want to run an experiment."
Jiang Chen is very curious about the double‑star spell and wants to see its real effect.
Antares clearly also wants to know, and without hesitation agreed.
Antares reaches out and grabs several monsters, ranging in level; the low ones are only level 70, the high ones reach level 80,
without exception, all these monsters come from the Lower Space.
The low‑level monsters in Upper Space don't even qualify as experimental subjects,
Facing Antares, these monsters can only tremble uneasily, utterly powerless.
They look like meat on a cutting board, with nothing but waiting for death.
The rule of survival of the fittest, at this very moment, manifests with stark reality.
Jiang Chen locked onto one of the monsters and used a technique.
Technique
: Bone Prison.
This monster, which had been struggling anxiously, suddenly became rigid.
A layer of white bone appeared on its body, and it was paralyzed by the Bone Prison as if petrified.
Almost simultaneously with the formation of the Bone Prison, Bone Fangs erupted.
With a bang, the monster was shattered into fragments.
Tens of thousands of Bone Fangs, as if exploding inside the monster, pierced its body and tore it to pieces.
"Interesting!"
Jiang Chen's mouth twitched upward, and the slight displeasure he felt moments ago vanished.
He could sense that the Bone Fangs originated from the Bone Prison.
And they erupted not from a single point, but from every point across its body.
The Bone Prison became the carrier for the Bone Fangs; while it restrained the monster, the spikes launched attacks toward it.
Twin Star Technique.
This is the Twin Star Technique that Antares mentioned.
Using a single Skill, it produces the effect of two Skills while consuming only one unit of Spiritual Power.
He only needs to employ Bone Prison to control the monster, and the Bone Fangs will attack simultaneously.
In this way, the practicality of the Bone Prison is greatly enhanced.
And the Bone Fangs' most troublesome Hit Rate issue also seems to have improved.
"Try multiple targets!"
Jiang Chen used the same Spiritual Power, his soul locking onto several targets.
He cast the technique, and Bone Prison appeared simultaneously on several monsters.
The controlled monsters were immobilized; a layer of white bone formed on them, followed by a series of "bang, bang, bang" sounds, and snow‑white Bone Fangs howled out, piercing their bodies and tearing them apart again.
It was still an instant kill, with no suspense at all.
However, it still differed from the previous Skill.
Using the same
The same Spiritual Power, he controlled several monsters, and the number of Bone Fangs correspondingly decreased.
The total amount remained unchanged, but each monster received fewer attacks.
The Bone Fangs were evenly distributed by the Skill.
"Then what if we attack with Bone Fangs?"
Jiang Chen tapped his finger and cast: Bone Fang!
A pure White Light orb burst, and the Bone Fang flashed by.
The monster struck by the Bone Fang instantly sprouted white bone, and the Bone Prison fully seized it.
Using it in reverse yields the same effect.
As long as it is hit by one technique, a second technique will be triggered.
It truly is marvelous.
"Try it on me!" Antares squinted his eyes and voluntarily became the test subject again.
