Life Inequity Spear

The Life Inequity Spear is the signature weapon of the War Immortal Chang He, who lives under the name Zhu You Cai, and is later given to Su Ming. It can collapse into a purple-black thumb ring, return to spear form on command, pierce bodies and souls, and channel attacks that cut space, laws, or fate. Its greatest feats depend heavily on the wielder: Zhu You Cai draws out power Su Ming can initially only imitate at substantial cost. (Chapters 1003, 1026–1040, and 1077)

History

Chang He's grief and the gift to Su Ming

The spear carries visions of Chang He's past as a prodigy of True Sacred Yin World and disciple of a Sublime Paragon. His lover was turned into a medicinal core so that he could swallow it and enter Death Realm, prompting his first rebellion against his master. Zhu You Cai's grief, his link to the spear's recorded owner, and the later recognition of him as War Immortal Chang He establish that the weapon is inseparable from that history even while he conceals his identity. (Chapters 1003–1005, 1026, and 1101)

After Su Ming leaves the Fifth Furnace dimension, Zhu You Cai sends him the buzzing purple-black spear and declares it his. Su Ming accepts the transfer and converts the weapon into a ring on his thumb. The gift follows Zhu You Cai's assistance inside the Furnace and becomes part of a reciprocal alliance: Su Ming remembers both the spear and Zhu's kindness, while Zhu later guards him and answers when called. (Chapters 1003 and 1019–1025)

A shared weapon in the Fifth Furnace

Su Ming uses the spear immediately against ferocious spirits. It blocks direct strikes, tears through whirlwinds, disintegrates arms that try to catch it, and impales a spirit against a mountain. When thrown against ghosts, its tip forms a vortex that restrains them so Su Ming's death aura can send them toward reincarnation. These applications combine the spear's penetration and control with Su Ming's Ecang body, moon, and other Arts; the item is a focus, not the sole source of every surrounding effect. (Chapters 1009–1021)

When Zhu You Cai protects Su Ming beside the fifth ocean, the spear leaves Su Ming and flies to its old wielder with a delighted buzz. Zhu's War Immortal strike disrupts space and laws, sweeps away powerful clones, and wounds multiple progenitors, while “Impermanence of Life and Death” tears apart a combined formation. The effort still leaves Zhu pale and bleeding. The scene demonstrates affinity rather than a reversal of ownership: after the crisis the spear again answers Su Ming. (Chapters 1026–1029)

Su Ming's imitation and Morning Dao campaigns

Su Ming studies Zhu's galactic slash and reproduces about three-tenths of it against a fragment of Ecang. The spear absorbs cultivation, life force, and bodily essence to open a five-foot spatial crack, leaving Su Ming coughing blood. He later layers the weapon with God Slayer Art, using it to carry cutting-fate and law-severing effects; those powers come from learned Arts working through the spear rather than intrinsic guarantees of every thrust. (Chapters 1040 and 1077–1082)

As Dao Kong, Su Ming uses the spear to kill a dog-headed beast, Dao Fei Feng, and Dao Fa, destroying soul and Nascent Divinity along with the body. He also uses it against a remote palace, a blood-red heart, and lost souls in Dao Ocean. A black-robed opponent nevertheless stops the thrown spear ten feet away with a single immobilizing word, proving that sufficiently advanced control Arts can counter its speed. At its final appearance, Su Ming releases it for Zhu You Cai to wield against Old You and Ming, publicly exposing Zhu as Chang He. (Chapters 1053–1101)

Abilities and properties

• Transforming form and recall: The purple-black spear can become a thumb ring, manifest from fog or empty space, fly back to a wielder, and return after being thrown. Its responses suggest an item soul or strong recognition, though the corpus does not give that consciousness an independent identity. (Chapters 1003, 1021, 1026, and 1053)
• Penetration and spiritual destruction: It pierces massive bodies and enchanted defenses, and some direct kills also crush the victim's soul and Nascent Divinity. Raw toughness can resist or redirect lesser strikes, while advanced immobilization can halt the weapon entirely. (Chapters 1010, 1046, 1053–1054, 1085, and 1090)
• Vortex and restraint: A thrown attack can form a vortex at the tip that pulls fleeing ghosts inward. The reincarnation effect in that battle also relies on Su Ming's gray moon and death aura, so it should not be assigned to the spear alone. (Chapters 1020–1021)
• Cutting space and laws: Zhu You Cai can use the spear to disrupt laws and split the galaxy. Su Ming's imitation reaches only three-tenths of Zhu's method and consumes large amounts of cultivation, life force, and essence, showing both a mastery requirement and an explicit cost. (Chapters 1026–1040)
• Compatibility with other Arts: Su Ming coats it in God Slayer Art to cut fate, enforce accuracy, produce a rebound attack, and separate an area from surrounding laws. These are combined applications whose output depends on Su Ming's cultivation and injuries. (Chapters 1077–1082)
