Shrapnel bomb

Made from Skinner weapons. Originally, Guo Ran had made over 8000 of these bombs. According to Long Chen's instructions, he was supposed to keep at least 3000 for the worst-case scenario.
He was constantly gathering the fragments and making new bombs. These bombs had two layers, with the outer layer preventing outside forces from destroying them. They were simple in design, and it only took a few seconds to pack an empty bomb with fragments.

=== Outside underworld ===
This blade was something Long Chen had obtained in Purgatory. It was the weapon of the Skinners. However, for some reason, after he brought it back, he found that their power had sharply dropped. They didn't have the same effect as in Purgatory. He could touch it as much as he pleased without feeling the pain from back then.
However, even if he could touch them, if it was stabbed into someone's body, then even if they were an Empyrean, they would stiffen. The strange energy within it caused incomparable pain and would make people lose their ability to react temporarily.
Unfortunately, this triangular blade was too strange and almost looked like a carpenter's tool. The handle was a circular arc with two hooks. Let alone using this in battle, just holding it wrong would injure the user.
This strange weapon could only be used by the Skinners with their strange arms. That was why Long Chen wanted to see if Guo Ran could change it a bit.
Guo Ran's eyes immediately began to blaze with a fiery light. He summoned his forging table and activated the smelting tool. However, curiously, the triangular blade didn't change color no matter how he roasted it. Even after an hour, it was still ice-cold. The three of them were all dumbfounded. Just what kind of material was this?
After six hours, the triangular blade finally reddened from the heat. However, at the same time, strange black marks appeared on it.
Guo Ran carefully placed it on his forging table and tried to see if he could change its shape. His hammer smashed down and sparks flew. The blade instantly exploded into sharp fragments that shot out in every direction.
Those sharp fragments instantly pierced Long Chen, Guo Ran, and Gu Yang. Gu Yang let out a howl. The pain in his body was intense, but it was the pain in his soul that was unbearable. It was like countless needles were stabbing it. There was no way to express it with words. That pain was enough to kill someone.
Long Chen also felt the pain, and his veins bulged as he forcibly resisted it. He formed a few hand seals, and those fragments were forced out of his body. He then slapped Guo Ran in the back.
Guo Ran's body shook as those fragments were forced out of his body. As the closest one, he had been struck by the most. He had lost consciousness from the pain.
Only once he forced the fragments out of Guo Ran did Long Chen go to help Gu Yang. It was a whole hour before Guo Ran woke up.
Once those fragments had stabbed his body, he had been frozen, unable to move. He had felt like millions of blades were cutting his body and soul. That profound feeling of helplessness was truly horrifying.
"This thing's too dangerous, and it also targets a person's will. Without strong enough willpower, a person would immediately submit to the pain and be unable to resist."
=== Pain tempering ===
Gu Yang slowly took out the fragment. "Just one piece isn't that intense. I can endure it. We should distribute these fragments to the Dragonblood warriors. They can use the pain to temper their will and reaction speed. It'll be useful in future battles."
Long Chen nodded. That was a good idea. If a person's soul could resist this level of pain, then any attacks involving a spiritual aspect would be less effective on them. This was a good way to raise their resistance toward soul cultivators.
If they could become completely immune to this kind of spiritual pain, it would be very difficult for anyone to affect their souls. Back then, the reason Shen Bijun could control so many people at once was because those so-called heavenly geniuses didn't have very great willpower.
=== Frag grenades and spray bottles ===
"This thing is completely immune to my forging arts. No matter how I try it, it explodes. However, when it comes to conning others with it, it should be useful. I'll make them all explode and then add them to my bombs. Hehe, that power should definitely be good. I can even add some of those pieces to my armor." Guo Ran laughed excitedly.
Long Chen took out six thousand of the eight thousand triangular blades and chains that he had in the primal chaos space, giving them to Guo Ran.
Remember, the space inside has to be extremely great, and the interior must be made of jade or ceramic." Long Chen took out a diagram he had come up with
"That's right, it's a spray bottle. I just changed its form a bit. You don't need to care about it for now. Just build it according to my specifications. Remember, make sure there's enough space inside and enough spraying power," said Long Chen.
== Battle ==
These items that came from Purgatory definitely had terrifying offensive power. However, their energy was not limitless.
When those fragments stabbed through a person's body, it would cause immense pain, but each time they activated, it would cost some of their energy. Eventually, they would turn to scrap.
Although the fragments had yet to turn to scrap, Guo Ran had used them thousands of times now. Their effect was already greatly reduced.
Now, each bomb would only kill a portion of the devil creatures caught in the center of the explosion. As for the fragments that flew in every direction, the devil creatures struck would just roar a bit and then keep going.
So although Guo Ran was still doing his best to indiscriminately bomb the devil creatures, his ranking continued to fall. It was falling so much that Guo Ran was starting to question his life.
