Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 203: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

Although this soul bone was only 80,000 years old, its quality far surpassed that of ordinary ferocious beast soul bones. Considering its uniqueness, in the world of Douluo, perhaps only the soul bones produced by the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest or the Evil Emperor of the Sun-Moon Continent could surpass it. Chen Ming attempted to refine this soul bone, but naturally, the soul bone, which housed a remnant of a deity's will, wouldn't obediently allow Chen Ming, a violent force, to refine it. The remnant will within the soul bone resisted with all its might to prevent him from succeeding. Yet, after an intense struggle, Chen Ming ultimately broke through its defenses.

During the absorption process, a massive, blood-red figure appeared in Chen Ming's mind. It was similar to the remnant will of the Medusa God that had just been suppressed earlier. With a single thought, Chen Ming mercilessly suppressed the remnant will hidden in the skull bone and directly dismantled it.

Unlike the divine will hidden in the artifact earlier, this remnant contained something far nobler and more powerful—the shattered divine position of the God of Sin, Medusa.

This divine position was in a severely fragmented state, with only about one-third of it remaining. Most of it was still broken, being forcibly held together through the control of the remnant will.

When the divine will shattered, the divine position began to disintegrate on the spot. However, with a single thought, Chen Ming stopped the disintegration and temporarily suppressed it in his mind, intending to deal with it after fully absorbing the soul bone.

Half an hour later, the absorption of the skull soul bone was complete. This soul bone, which housed the remnant will of the God of Sin, did not grant Chen Ming a typical soul skill that a Medusa-like soul beast would possess. Instead, it granted him a unique ability.

Sinful Judgement—a skill that left Chen Ming unsure of how to react. To be honest, this ability was so peculiar that it didn't even feel like a traditional soul skill.

Though the name suggested "judgment," it didn't require the use of eyes. Instead, it operated through mental power.

With this ability, Chen Ming could use his mental power to judge the sins of a person, then curse them based on the severity of their sins. This curse would cause the individual to suffer endless torment and pain stemming from their guilt and wrongdoing.

The most absurd part was that when using this skill, Chen Ming could suppress individuals burdened with great sins, tormenting their souls. Against such sinners, he even received a special buff that gave him an advantage in combat.

Honestly, Chen Ming didn't know what to make of this. The ability, Sinful Judgement, sounded fitting for the God of Sin, but why was it so twisted that it almost felt righteous?

Chen Ming could see sinners, curse them, and gain extra bonuses in battles against them. Wasn't this essentially encouraging him to eliminate evil people?

Could it be that the essence of the God of Sin's power was to be even more ruthless than the most heinous villains, forcing them into submission and turning them into followers through relentless punishment?

Hmm, that sounded kind of reasonable. After all, even among evil people, there's a hierarchy of wickedness. This skill might have been specifically designed by the God of Sin for internal conflicts within the sinful. Right? Probably?

Chen Ming couldn't help but imagine: if this ability were given to Qian Daoliu, that man would probably go on a rampage across the continent, wiping out evildoers indiscriminately. With just a bit of thought, Chen Ming realized how thick the aura of sin must be on those corrupt nobles—like insects crawling with filth.

When Chen Ming opened his eyes, he felt a significant increase in his mental power. A mere sweep of his senses could now cover roughly one-fourth of the island.

Out of curiosity, Chen Ming quietly activated Sinful Judgement and glanced at Dugu Bo. To his surprise, Dugu Bo's sins were minimal—just a tiny trace.

Chen Ming probed further and discovered that he could vaguely perceive the origins of these sins. A quick scan revealed:

When Dugu Bo was young, he killed an entire family, including a few innocent members.

In his younger days, Dugu Bo got into a quarrel with other soul masters in a tavern and trashed the place without compensating the owner, causing the tavernkeeper to spend years of savings on repairs.

During a fight, Dugu Bo's poison inadvertently contaminated a water source, killing numerous soul beasts, some nearby villagers' livestock, and even a few people.

Alright, in Chen Ming's eyes, only the second and third incidents seemed worth noting. As for the first one...

Killing an entire family should be done thoroughly! Worms should be cut horizontally; eggs scrambled completely—leave no one behind! That's what thoroughness is about.

For the innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire, Chen Ming could only wish them a peaceful afterlife.

But Chen Ming also noticed something interesting: he could see things that even the individuals themselves were unaware of. For example, Dugu Bo had no idea that his carelessness during a fight had caused so much damage to the surrounding environment. Yet, he had unknowingly accumulated this sin.

Out of curiosity, Chen Ming turned his gaze inward to examine himself. Surprisingly, he found no significant sins on his own body.

It wasn't that Chen Ming thought of himself as pure or righteous, but he genuinely hadn't done much to accumulate any sins.

From the age of six, when he awakened his martial soul to eleven, he had mostly stayed home training. He'd only been traveling the continent for a little over a year, much of which was spent either cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well or on the road. To put it bluntly, he'd become somewhat detached from society.

Even during his time in society, Chen Ming adhered to the principles he'd learned in his past life, avoiding bad habits or developing a superiority complex. Naturally, he hadn't done anything that could be labeled as sinful.

As for the traps he set for the Shrek team?

That was a merit-earning act, thank you very much.

Chen Ming carefully examined himself and finally found a tiny wisp of gray energy. Curious, he investigated further to see what kind of sin he had committed, only to fall into silence.

It turned out that, years ago, while at home, he frequently consumed whale glue. The servants responsible for preparing the glue often inhaled the fumes released during the process. Over time, some of these agitated servants developed relationships that crossed the boundaries of friendship, leading to family issues.

Since this matter had little to do with Chen Ming himself, he scratched his head, unable to fathom how he had even accumulated any sins from it.

Honestly, even the families of those servants probably wouldn't blame Chen Ming for this situation.

"Ah, life is full of unintended consequences," Chen Ming sighed, shaking his head. His expression remained one of resigned amusement.

Dugu Bo, noticing Chen Ming's strange expression, hurriedly approached, examining him nervously. After hearing Chen Ming's odd comments, Dugu Bo became even more alarmed, worried that the deity's will within the soul bone had possessed him.

Seeing Dugu Bo's vigilance, Chen Ming quickly explained.

He wasn't one of those protagonists who would stir up trouble with cryptic remarks and refuse to speak clearly. Chen Ming always preferred to explain things first, resorting to violence only when necessary.

After hearing Chen Ming's explanation, Dugu Bo stroked his chin in silence, reflecting on his own life.
