It seems this isn’t purely a prison start.

Ye Mingqiu thought to himself.

The prison start seems full of debuffs, but it’s not actually that bad.

Being bound at the start might spell endless trouble for a normal Spiritualist, but for Ye Mingqiu, it’s not much different from not being bound at all. His Abnormal Status Resistance and Control Resistance are just too high, and the chains’ restraining force is only at the physical level, which he can break through with sheer force.

Moreover, starting in prison provides a cost-free integration into the world, a chance to meet the Eternal Night Monarch, and even compensation in the form of equipment from the Eternal Night Monarch’s vault, making it a no-cost high-reward scenario.

This is a special benefit of urgent conscription, ensuring better treatment than regular exploration.

"Crack!"

Ye Mingqiu picked up a flickering pitch-black chain from the ground. Watching the Spiritual Realm prompt flash continuously with [Tip: Abnormal Status Resistance successfully assessed...], he said, "Can I take this chain with me?"

"You can, but..."

The woman in blue gauze wore a strange expression and couldn’t help but ask curiously, "But won’t you feel uncomfortable? These chains, made from [Moon Tear], have a suppressive effect on all energy just by contact..."

"No problem."

Ye Mingqiu’s face remained unchanged.

The pitch-black [Abyssal Power] surged from within him, merging into the black chain, causing its surface to emit a dark purple light, a glow deep and mysterious, further enhancing the material effects of [Moon Tear] and increasing its strength.

Subsequently, the Abyssal Power spread like black tendrils to other chains, drawing the broken chains to exude the same dark purple halo. In the linkage of Abyssal Power, they were reconnected, fused, and reorganized, ultimately entwining around Ye Mingqiu’s arm to form a unique chain weapon.

[Tip: You have constructed a new weapon, please name it]

Moon Lock

[Naming successful]

Moon Lock

Tier: Tier One

Quality: Dark Gold

Category: Chain

Attack Power: 68-101

Durability: 190/190

Equipment Requirements: [Abyssal Power]

Equipment Traits:

① Dark Radiance: When empowered by [Abyssal Power], the weapon’s strength, hardness, tenacity, and other Basic Attributes are greatly enhanced, and it possesses a certain self-repair ability.

② Shadow of the Black Moon: Suppresses all forms of energy upon contact. Abyssal Power Amplification can increase the suppression strength, which is influenced by tier.

Description: A binding chain forged from [Moon Tear], activated and reorganized by Abyssal Power, ultimately forming an extraordinarily powerful chain weapon.

"Not bad."

Ye Mingqiu gave his arm a simple swing. The Moon Lock didn’t affect him, and it felt good to wield. It should perform well in battle.

As a Dark Gold Level weapon, the Moon Lock has very few traits, only two, but this doesn’t mean it’s weak. On the contrary, having few traits at a high quality generally means the traits are strong, just like the previous Bone Battle Blade, which had destructive attributes.

The Moon Lock’s energy suppression and remote chain attack mode can partially compensate for the absence of the Blood Spear.

"Clang!"

The Moon Lock was released from its coiled state, crashing heavily to the ground with a sound like steel colliding, flashing that dark purple glow.

Then, Ye Mingqiu swung his arm, and the long Moon Lock whipped up like a terrifying giant serpent, bursting with a heart-stirring whoosh mid-air.

"Boom!!"

The Moon Lock shattered the iron gate of the prison, scattered iron pieces everywhere, striking a deep chord of fear in the hearts of the Warrior and the woman in blue gauze. Watching it being dragged along the ground, producing ceaseless clattering sounds, they couldn’t help but feel immense psychological pressure.

Yet this was only Ye Mingqiu testing whether the Moon Lock could receive the Talent enhancement of [Unparalleled Divine Bravery], not intentionally scaring them.

The final answer is...

It can receive a 50% increase in Power determination!

Although the Moon Lock isn’t a spear, staff, halberd, or similar long weapon, its chain is long enough, so it still counts as a long weapon. A bit niche perhaps, but it can still get the talent’s extra boost.

"Lead the way."

Ye Mingqiu said.

"Yes."

The woman in blue gauze bowed her head in response, the iron gate debris next to her filled her with fear, yet she couldn’t help but think: No wonder it’s the legendary Blood Erosion Tyrant, having such terrifying power. Just standing next to him, I can feel that suffocating, terrifying oppressive aura.

Thus, Ye Mingqiu, under her guidance, was escorted by more than twenty Warriors out of the death cell.

The world outside the death cell was bleak, the sky like a velvet drape in purple-black, dotted with unusually bright, yet coldly glowing stars.

A black moon occupied a full third of the sky. It wasn’t purely black; dark purple veins occasionally flashed across its surface, casting a dim glow over the world.

Conversely, the ground was filled with light, roads lined with various luminous plants, giving off a dreamlike fairyland vibe.

During the walk, Ye Mingqiu opened the temporary channel to check on his teammates.

Broken Star, Yalis, Sassos, Tian Qing

——Temporary Channel——

Tian Qing: So many bigshots

Tian Qing: (இωஇ)

Sassos: No, no, don’t say that, I’m just road trash.

Sassos: [Crying.JPG]

Tian Qing: No way, no way, Lord Half-step Legend Sword Saint is joking. If it weren’t for your bad luck, you would definitely be in the top 20 of the Celestial Ladder.

Sassos: Don’t say it, heartache. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Actually, his true strength is quite formidable, able to strike Ye Mingqiu with 5723 damage in one blow, meaning he could probably take down others with 10,000 damage in one hit. Against a fragile target, he could instantly KO at light speed—it’s similar to Qing Yu’s type of Spiritualist, though unfortunately, he was eliminated in one round.
