Rebirth of the Totem Pole, I became a taboo

Mingli's acceptance went smoothly, and Chen Yao naturally got what he wanted, Mingli's totem!
The totem of Mingli is called [Mingli].

There are three powers of totem: [Underworld], [Nine Lives], and [Underworld].

After obtaining the totem of the Dark Raccoon, Chen Yao tested them all.

[Netherworld Energy] The power of this totem allows Chen Yao to control the dark energy to launch attacks.

Chen Yao originally thought that the Nether Qi was the breath of the River Styx, but after he mastered it, he discovered that the Nether Qi was not only present in the River Styx.

The demise of all things will emit a dark aura.

The dark energy, like the spiritual energy, exists in the air but is not easily detected by living beings.

Just as spiritual energy can be sensed by warriors at the level of supernatural powers, dark energy can only be seen by specific beings.

For example, Mingli, and Chen Yao who obtained the Mingli totem.

Chen Yao tried to control the dark energy to attack. A strand of dark energy as thin as a hair was enough to wither a tree that two people could hug together.

Even dead objects like stone will decay after coming into contact with the dark energy.

It seems that in the eyes of the underworld, everything has life and death.

After learning a little more about the characteristics of the underworld energy, Chen Yao suddenly had a strange idea.

The dark energy controls death. Although the fire of faith is not the true way of 'life', it also has some characteristics of the way of 'life'. What will happen when they meet?
Do it as soon as you think of it. Chen Yao directly summoned a ray of fire of faith.

The fire of faith in the left hand, the dark energy in the right hand, after the hands were brought close together, the dark energy was evaporated...

Chen Yao was stunned for a moment before he burst into laughter.

If the fire of faith is the power of the Tao, then the dark energy has not yet come into contact with the power of the Tao.

If Chen Yao can master the way of 'Nether', then the Nether Qi he summons out may be able to compete with the Fire of Faith.

Then Chen Yao did another test.

How much dark energy can a wisp of fire of faith offset?
With a wave of his hand, all the dark energy within a thousand feet radius gathered together and turned into a dark energy ball about ten feet in size.

With a slight flick of his finger, the fire of faith left a trace in the air and fell into the dark air.

Just like water falling into an oil pan, the dark energy suddenly exploded!

Although it was not completely burned, about 50% to 60% of it was dissipated.

This effect is far greater than the amount of spiritual energy offset by a wisp of fire of faith.

This is not to say that the Nether Qi is inferior to the Spiritual Qi, but that the Nether Qi conflicts with the properties of the Fire of Faith, and cannot defeat the Fire of Faith, so it causes more consumption.

Nod with satisfaction.

In this way, if I go to the River Styx in the future and encounter danger, I can use the fire of faith to resist it.

Thinking of this, Chen Yao saw the next totem power.

When Chen Yao saw the word [Nine Lives], he already understood the meaning of this totem power.

After watching it, there is a difference, but it is not big.

【Nine Lives】Can die and be resurrected eight times!
But this "death" is not real death, but the moment of death.

And there is a price to pay for coming back from the dead.

Each time you are resurrected, you lose one-ninth of your current lifespan. By the time you have your ninth life, you will only have one-ninth of your lifespan left.

The deduction for this life span is not calculated based on the remaining life span, but only one-ninth of the total life span is deducted.

If there are nine years left, then there is only one year left to live.

If you have ninety years to live, you will have nine years left.

From this perspective, it seems that this ability is more useful to beings with a short lifespan.

If someone could really calculate his own life span, and if he had nine days left to live, it would not be a loss at all to die once a day.

However, what made Chen Yao very confused about the power of the totem was that for a being like him whose lifespan was unknown, how many years was one-ninth?

Chen Yao was curious, so he found Mingli who was taking a walk in the village and asked him a question.

Finally, Mingli gave an answer.

For beings like Chen Yao and Ming Li who have no upper limit on their lifespan, each loss will be one-ninth of their strength.

For example, divine consciousness will be reduced by one-ninth, soul strength will be reduced by one-ninth, physical strength will be reduced by one-ninth, and so on.

Chen Yao's face darkened when he heard this.

It’s better not to have this ability!
Of course, this ability is useless to Chen Yao, but it is a good ability for the believers of Wanzu Village.

Almost every believer from the Wanzu Village who went out to fight had more than ten strands of the fire of faith in his body.

This can ensure that they don't die on the spot, and if they don't die on the spot, there is a chance that [Nine Lives] will be triggered.

In this way, he becomes a hero again in a blink of an eye!
Putting down [Nine Lives], Chen Yao saw the last totem power.

【Communication with the underworld】!
[Tongming] did not have any killing power, it just allowed Chen Yao to enter a special state.

In this state, Chen Yao could see the boundless void where the Styx was.

But Chen Yao’s vision could not move. Apart from absorbing the abundant dark energy from that space, he could not do anything else.

Even if Chen Yao wanted to get a closer look at the Styx, there was no way.

"Is it because I haven't touched the Way of the Underworld?"

Chen Yao thought so, but if he touched the way of the underworld, would he still need [Tongming] to enter the Styx space?

Xia Longhu does not have the totem power of "Connecting to the Underworld" at all, but he can step into the Styx space.

No matter what, in Chen Yao's opinion, the current [Underworld Communication] is a useless ability.

"That's it for now. You'll know the real situation once you master the Way of the Underworld."

Putting the thought aside, Chen Yao looked around again.

Mingli had long disappeared.

When his divine sense swept over, Mingli had already arrived at Mingxia Valley. At this moment, he was in the flame pool above Mingxia Valley, catching the Flame Fish King and eating it!
Chen Yao's face turned dark, and he hit back the Flame Fish King that Mingli had taken out of the Flame Pool through the air.

Mingli paused for a moment, then bared his teeth at the air.

"Don't eat this one, eat the smaller one!"

Chen Yao's voice reached Mingli's ears. Although he was not convinced, Mingli still walked away with his head held high.

Before leaving, Mingli took a fire fish from a child of the Yan tribe on the Twelve Yan Mountains.

The children were shouting and calling their friends to chase after them.

Mingli was running leisurely in the front, eating fish, and occasionally throwing some fish bones onto the head of the child behind.

The Yan tribe child was furious and directly controlled the flame plasma to spray out.

But Mingli just moved slightly to avoid it and continued to throw fish bones.

It was not until only the head of the fire fish was left that Mingli threw away the fish head and disappeared.

The Yan tribe child came running over cursing, but only saw a lonely fish head.

Helplessly, they could only go back and find ways to continue catching fire fish.

After seeing this scene, Chen Yao didn't know whether he should laugh or not.

A being second only to Daxia's guardian deity, a being that can crush demons and evil spirits with just its roar at night, stealing a child's fish?
Moreover, Mingli did not leave at all. He just wrapped himself with the dark energy and hid himself from the sight of the Yan tribe children.

At this time, Mingli was squatting at the fishing spot set up by the children, waiting for the children to catch another fire fish.

It was obvious that the Fire Fish King could not escape from his hands, but he did not catch the Fire Fish himself, but insisted on snatching the child's.

“What a bad taste.”

Chen Yao looked at Mingli snatching the Flame Fish away again, making the group of children almost cry, and smiled helplessly.

After watching for a while, Chen Yao understood. Mingli, like the white tiger before, had let himself go.

Things that would not be done in Daxia would not be stopped in the Shiwandashan Mountains or the Wanzu Village.

Wouldn’t this make Him have fun?
Chen Yao then informed the managers of various areas of Wanzu Village of Mingli's existence, and as long as Mingli did not act recklessly, he could play with him as he pleased.

After saying that, Chen Yao left the Wanzu Village and went to a rocky mountain area with few people and no trees, to prepare for the tribulation.

Landing on a stone mountain, Chen Yao took a look at the current fire of faith.

It took several days to travel around the nine countries of Daxia, and Xiao Mo and his companions were also continuing to gather foreign tribes and villages these days.

Chen Yao now has 450,000 followers, and the accumulated fire of faith has soared to 1.55 million!
With one million and five hundred thousand, Chen Yao can advance to ten true dragons and thirty flood dragons!

But no matter whether it is the advancement to a true dragon or a flood dragon, none of them can compare to the gains brought by Chen Yao using [Entering the Tao] once and touching a path.

Without any hesitation, a million wisps of fire of faith rushed towards the totem of Mingli.

The black dark fox had turned dark red under the influx of the fire of faith.

When the millions of fires of faith were all immersed in it, a wave spread from Chen Yao's body.

Chen Yao was stunned, and then he realized that he had made a stupid mistake.

The lightning struck his real body, not his clone!
Immediately, he opened the Hutian space and returned to the worship square of Wanzu Village.

At this time, dark clouds gathered above Wanzu Village, and wind and thunder roared.

Almost half of the Wanzu Village, which covered an area of ​​one million feet, was covered by dark clouds.

The Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, the Mingxia Valley, the Shuiyue Island, etc., all the believers of the Ten Thousand Clan Village who were still in the Ten Thousand Clan Village looked towards the sky which was gradually changing from dark clouds to thunderclouds.

What's going on here?
This question appeared in everyone's mind, but after Chen Yao's voice came, they all felt relieved.

It turns out to be the Pillar God, so it’s okay.

Immediately, those areas not close to the worship square stopped looking at the thunderclouds above their heads.

Only within a thousand feet radius of the worship square, where Liu Wudi and others were, could see Chen Yao's gradually rising body.

boom!
With a loud bang, lightning illuminated the faces of Liu Wudi and others, and also made their eyes sparkle.

Xiao Mo, who had just arrived, was triggered by the lightning in his body, and strands of lightning were wrapped around his body.

After Chen Yao casually extinguished a bolt of lightning, he suddenly saw the situation on Xiao Mo's side.

After thinking about it, Chen Yao suddenly had an idea.

"How about letting Xiao Mo absorb some more thunder?"

Chen Yao, who has mastered a way and has an extremely powerful divine consciousness, can now face the thunder tribulation as if it were a piece of cake.

The thunder of tribulation in the realm of touching the Dao is not the threshold that prevents others from stepping into the realm of touching the Dao. The insurmountable gap is how to grasp that ray of Dao essence and attract the thunder of tribulation.

Therefore, even if Xiao Mo joins in and increases the power of the thunder, Chen Yao is confident that he can withstand it.

As for whether Xiao Mo can hold on, it doesn’t matter.

Under Chen Yao's nose, Xiao Mo would not be killed.

If Xiao Mo can find a way out of the thunder attribute, he will never be unable to touch the path of thunder in the future!
Immediately, Chen Yao waved to Xiao Mo.

After receiving Chen Yao's order, Xiao Mo rushed to Chen Yao's feet. The five hundred-foot-long real dragon bodies were coiled together. People who didn't pay attention ignored Chen Yao and thought it was Xiao Mo who was undergoing a tribulation.

Xiao Mo's joining made the thunderclouds above angry.

It seemed that it could not tolerate Chen Yao's recklessness. Rumbling sounds were heard everywhere, and the constantly flashing thunder illuminated the thunderclouds in the entire sky, as if warning Xiao Mo to leave quickly.

Xiao Mo wanted to leave, but how could it leave without Chen Yao's order?

Having lost patience, the thunder that had been brewing for a long time finally fell.

Originally, the second thunderbolt should have been a single one, but its power was twice as powerful as the previous one.

But now there are three strikes coming down!
Each one of them was twice as powerful as the first one, but only one struck Chen Yao, and the other two went directly towards Xiao Mo.

Chen Yao originally wanted to stop him, but after feeling the power of the second thunderbolt, he felt that Xiao Mo should be able to withstand it.

Just like that, while Xiao Mo was in disbelief, two lightning bolts of the Dao Touching Realm directly struck its body.

The dragon scales exploded directly at the place where the lightning struck.

The remaining thunder spread along the dragon scale patterns towards Xiao Mo's body. Wherever it passed, dragon scales flipped up and the sound of flesh being torn was endless.

Xiao Mo couldn't bear the pain of scraping the scales, and he roared in anger immediately.

hold head high!
The power of the thunder is not just instantaneous damage. When the dragon scales are turned up, the thunder turns into lightning threads and seeps into Xiao Mo's flesh and blood.

Suddenly, Xiao Mo felt an extraordinary torture.

At this moment, Chen Yao's voice sounded in Xiao Mo's mind.

"Feel the thunder and comprehend the thunder."

As he spoke, wisps of fire of faith fell and merged into every part of Xiao Mo's body.

It stopped Xiao Mo's pain, but did not dispel the power left by the thunder.

Only in this state can Xiao Mo have a deeper understanding.

Xiao Mo, who had recovered a little, didn't waste time. He had experienced something similar when he was promoted to a true dragon.

This time, it was just a little more intense.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo began to use his own thunder to attract the thunder that permeated throughout his body.

Coming from the same source, Xiao Mo's thunder did not cause much reaction after touching other thunders.

While breathing a sigh of relief, Xiao Mo began to integrate the thunder.

After seeing Xiao Mo getting into the state, Chen Yao turned his gaze to the thundercloud in the sky.

"You have to slow down."

As he was thinking this, the third wave of thunder had already struck.

This time, there are nine!
Chen Yao didn't dare to continue leaking it to Xiao Mo, as the space shield blocked this wave.

After that, the fourth wave had twenty-seven, and the fifth wave had eighty-one!
When the sixth wave of 243 thunderbolts densely bombarded the space shield, Chen Yao discovered that there seemed to be an additional force in the thunderbolts.

The essence of Tao!

Thinking of something, before the seventh wave came, Chen Yao placed a layer of Fire Dao behind the space shield!
Seven hundred and twenty-nine thunderbolts fell, and the space shield was unable to block any of them.

It was shattered as soon as it came into contact, but after the 729 thunders fell on the layer of fire-colored Taoism below, they were completely dissipated.

Chen Yao smiled.

"Sure enough, there is a trace of Tao in this wave of thunder. If I hadn't sensed it just now, I would have been in trouble."

After finding the secret trick of the thunder, the eighth wave was blocked by Chen Yao as expected.

Until the ninth wave of thunder came, Chen Yao spread the essence of Tao all over his body.

Just at this moment, the ninth wave of thunder came.

There was only one lightning bolt in this wave, and it was a purple-red lightning bolt that appeared silently above Chen Yao's head.

Where the two came into contact, fire and lightning burst out instantly.

The entire sky above Wanzu Village was painted red and purple.

The ninth wave of thunder lasted for ten breaths before dissipating.

When everyone could see the situation in the sky clearly, they discovered that the fiery aura on Chen Yao's clone had dissipated.

A black aura that made everyone tremble emanated from Chen Yao's body.

The way of the underworld, master it!
