Look at the sky and its phenomena, thunder like chains extending from the clouds into the depths of the earth; even a fool would know there's something unusual here.

Many experts from the outside world will undoubtedly be drawn here.

Especially since Zhang Chen is aware of the true origin of the tomb, could it be that there are ancient beings who have lived for countless years inside? Those would be the real trouble.

Zhang Chen doesn't believe that the 'Emperor' would so adore his daughter without leaving her any protective measures.

Therefore, it's necessary to upgrade the Soul Hook chain, so he can have more confidence when facing those ancient beings.

Then Zhang Chen's gaze fell upon the Soul Hook chain:

[5 Skills (First Tier): Soul Hook Chain (0/1000000)]

[Skill Interpretation: As long as the soul marked by your skill reaches its lifespan limit, regardless of the opponent's cultivation level, regardless of time-space distance, you can hook their soul over. ]

[Note 1: Can hook the soul of anyone whose lifespan limit has arrived. ]

[Note 2: Can hook souls that forcibly reside with secret techniques, forcibly escape their destiny (those who extend life with Spirit Medicine not included) ]

…

[Note 4: You may not have the ability to kill the hooked soul. However, once they are chained, they cannot harm you either. Seven days later, the skill becomes ineffective, and they are sent back to their body by the Law. You can use the Soul Hook skill once on the same soul within seven days. ]

[Points: 1999400]

"If I deploy the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Array, and then hook the soul in…" Zhang Chen looked at his skills, a flash of insight in his mind; this seems to be the real use of his skills, combination skills are the true Divine Skills.

"The limitations of the Soul Hook chain are too big. Within seven days, it can only target the same soul once. If I fail to hook and they escape, they can possess and resurrect, easily overcoming the seven-day challenge. Moreover, the Soul Hook skill can only mark the souls of those whose lifespan limits have arrived; this limitation is exceptionally large."

"If it could upgrade to ignore all conditions, directly hooking the opponent's soul skill, that would be truly awesome."

Zhang Chen took a look at his Golden Finger Interface and immediately chose to upgrade; a million points were deducted:

[5 Skills (Second Tier): Soul Hook Chain (0/10000000)]

…

[Note 5: As long as marked by you, even if the opponent extends life again, you can forcibly hook their soul out. ]

[Points: 999400]

Zhang Chen's gaze swept over the skill interface, the first four skills remained unchanged, but the marking was vastly different.

Previously, after Zhang Chen marked them, once they survived the seven-day challenge and extended their lives, he could no longer hook their souls. But now it's different, now as long as marked by Zhang Chen before the limit arrives, even if they extend life again, they are controlled by his skill.

"This is pretty powerful!" Zhang Chen thought of the ancestor in Prince Pingbian's Mansion, his eyes flickering with a murderous intent: "So much time has passed, I wonder if Zhang Shicheng's offspring is dead yet. If the old guy isn't dead, I can hook his soul into the Nine Bends Yellow River Array and give him a journey, ensuring he's not lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs."

Looking at his combination skills, Zhang Chen saw his skills finally starting to reveal their menacing nature, specifically countering those ancient beings at their lifespan limit.

"With the Soul Hook skill combined with the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Array, even if a Twelfth Tier god arrives, if their lifespan expires, I will show them death," Zhang Chen's heart trembled.

But his gaze fell on the points after his second skill, causing his heart to shudder; upgrading again requires ten million points! A tenfold increase.

"Indeed, skill level does not completely determine one's strength. My Soul Hook skill may be unable to even defeat an ordinary person, but it has a Law of Cause and Effect-like restraining effect against ancient beings that can terrify even Yang Gods." Zhang Chen pondered silently.

"For example, Zhong Xiang, although just Fourth Tier, even Yang God gets headaches dealing with him; it's downright unreasonable. How could anyone obtain the Qilin's Heart? This guy is definitely cheating!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

Then Zhang Chen's gaze fell on the Body-Stabilizing Rune, the Third Tier seems insufficient, so Zhang Chen added points to upgrade it:

[8 Skills (Third Tier): Body-Stabilizing Rune (0/400000)]—>[8 Skills (Fourth Tier): Body-Stabilizing Rune (0/800000)]

[Points: 599400]

[Remark 1: Can stabilize all Fourth Tier entities. ]

Plainly described, seemingly inconspicuous.

"It can stabilize all Fourth Tier entities. Zhong Xiang is merely Fourth Tier; theoretically, ambushing Zhong Xiang should be sufficient. The most prudent approach is upgrading the Body-Stabilizing Technique to Fifth Tier, but it requires eighty thousand experience points for Fifth Tier, while my experience points are just over fifty-nine thousand, with no chance for upgrading again." Zhang Chen's eyes focused on the skill panel for a while, pondering where the remaining fifty-nine thousand points could be invested.

Upgrading Light of the True God requires twenty thousand experience points, Dragon Qi also requires twenty thousand, Water Control Technique ten thousand, Qi Cultivation Technique forty million, Fourth Tier Sealing Rune, and other runes can all be upgraded.

"Fourth Tier Sealing Rune feels slightly inadequate; this Sealing Rune is critical against those with an Undying Body that can't be killed, definitely a Divine Artifact for victory."
