Feeling the wisps of dark energy wrapped around his body, Chen Yao felt a little surprised.

Originally he thought that “Tao” was common, and every person, every creature, and every existence could understand the same Tao.

For example, Chen Yao’s Way of Fire. Chen Yao never thought that since he had mastered the Way of Fire, others could not master it.

But when the Way of the Underworld appeared, Chen Yao sensed one thing: the Way of the Underworld does not allow multiple beings to master it together.

If the Way of the Underworld is divided into one hundred parts, and Chen Yao masters one part, then if other beings touch the Way of the Underworld, they can only choose from the remaining ninety-nine parts.

If Chen Yao has already mastered a hundred copies, then anyone who continues to comprehend the Dao of the Underworld will need to snatch them from Chen Yao. If they can snatch them, they will get a share. If they cannot, even if they have survived the thunder tribulation of the Dao Touching Realm, they will not obtain the corresponding Dao Essence.

This will lead to an embarrassing situation.

The existence in the Touching Dao Realm cannot mobilize the Dao Essence and is still fighting with the fighting style of the Return to One Realm!
“Why doesn’t this happen in the Way of Fire?”

Chen Yao sensed the Way of Fire again in confusion and came to the conclusion that it was indeed different from the Way of Hell.

“Could it be that only the Dark Way would be like this?”

Chen Yao pondered.

But he couldn’t solve this doubt yet. He would make a comparison when he had mastered other ways to see if the Way of the Underworld was special!

After suppressing the doubts in his heart, Chen Yao turned his gaze towards Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo was still absorbing the power of the thunder, but compared to before, Chen Yao saw something more when he looked at Xiao Mo this time.

For example, the wisps of dark energy emerging from Xiao Mo’s body were emitted from various parts of Xiao Mo’s body after his ‘death’.

Logically speaking, with this level of dark energy, Xiao Mo should have died, but there is a variable here, the fire of faith.

The thunder destroyed Xiao Mo’s body, and the fire of faith repaired it, thus forming a state of endless life.

“If I master the way of life that corresponds to the way of the underworld, can I see the breath of life?”

Chen Yao thought so, but he didn’t know where to get the way of life.

Among the totems that have been obtained, only those of the Wood Clan have more to do with “life”.

But in the end it should be integrated into the way of ‘wood’, not the way of life.

The same should apply to the water tribe who have not yet been incorporated into the village.

Looking at Xiao Mo, Chen Yao suddenly had an idea.

“Since we are going to test the Way of the Underworld, why not start with Xiao Mo?”

Having said this, Chen Yao did not ask Xiao Mo’s consent or not, and directly touched upon the Way of the Underworld.

The Dao energy spread and directly enveloped Xiao Mo.

Then Xiao Mo’s body of one thousand five hundred feet appeared in Chen Yao’s mind.

But it is not a complete body, but a body that has problems and is emitting dark energy.

With a thought, Chen Yao controlled the dark energy near Xiao Mo’s head and stopped him from continuing to “die”.

As soon as this thought came to mind, the festering on that part of Xiao Mo’s body stopped spreading, and the dark energy no longer emanated.

“It seems to be a way to stop bleeding and injury.”

Chen Yao thought of a thing called “blood lock” in competitive games in his previous life.

As long as that cheat is turned on, you won’t lose blood no matter how the enemy attacks you.

This is the situation with Xiao Mo. If Chen Yao stops the dark energy from continuing to appear in Xiao Mo’s body, it would be equivalent to preventing Xiao Mo from losing vitality.

Isn’t this ‘blood lock’?

Just when Chen Yao was satisfied with his ability, he discovered something.

Before, he sent some Fire of Faith to Xiao Mo to heal some of Xiao Mo’s physical injuries. In order to achieve a balance, Chen Yao has been controlling the output of the Fire of Faith.

But now, the part where Chen Yao stopped emitting the dark energy has increased the consumption of the fire of faith.

If it took a hundred strands of the fire of faith to maintain the balance of that part before, now it would require two hundred strands!

Chen Yao was puzzled and directly cancelled that part of the supply of the Fire of Faith.

Then, he saw a scene that surprised him.

That part of Xiao Mo’s body was actually spreading something similar to the underworld energy, but different from the underworld energy.

Xiao Mo was completely unaware of this spread.

What will happen if we wait until this thing has spread?
Suddenly, Chen Yao thought of the souls floating up and down in the Styx, and an idea popped into his mind.

“Is Xiao Mo converting towards that kind of thing?”

“No, those things in the Styx are souls, without bodies, but Xiao Mo has a body… a living dead? No, a living dead dragon? A corpse dragon? A corpse with a clear consciousness?”

Chen Yao didn’t know what to call this state.

But he knew that this state was definitely not a good one, and if he really wanted to test it, there was no need to use Xiao Mo.

Chen Yao restored the dark energy in that part of the body, and then the spread stopped.

But the part that had already spread did not return to normal until the fire of faith was rekindled, and then that part gradually recovered.

“It seems that there is still a lot to be explored in the underworld.”

Instead of continuing to test Xiao Mo, Chen Yao just watched Xiao Mo comprehend the power of thunder.

A full hour passed, and no more dark energy came out of Xiao Mo’s body.

About five minutes later, Xiao Mo woke up.

Chen Yao sensed something and moved thousands of feet away. After he left, a strong light burst out from where Xiao Mo was.

boom!
Branch-like lightning radiated from Xiao Mo’s body in all directions.

This time the lightning was less dark green and more majestic.

But it was still far inferior to the three waves of thunder tribulations that Chen Yao experienced last.

But Chen Yao was not in a hurry, as he would definitely continue to “enter the Tao” later. If one thunder tribulation was not enough, he would try two or three.

After this “entry into the Tao”, Chen Yao knew that he would have to be taken care of by thunder tribulations in the future.

As for the reason, Chen Yao attributed it to the stinginess of “Tao”.

Of course, this is Chen Yao’s subjective statement. If we look at Chen Yao from the perspective of Tao, it will be a different statement.

To use a metaphor.

Chen Yao is the ‘monkey’ of Mount Emei, ‘Tao’ is the tourists of Mount Emei, and the Tao of Fire and the Tao of Hell are the ‘snacks’ in the hands of the tourists.

When the tourists went up the mountain for the first time, they saw a group of monkeys reaching out their hands. Chen Yao was the most handsome among them. Then he took out a bag of sausages, pulled out one and threw it over.

At this time, Chen Yao was happy and the tourists also found it interesting.

But then Chen Yao, who still felt a little thirsty after eating the sausage, ran to the tourist and stretched out his hand again.

The tourist didn’t want to pay any attention, but Chen Yao, this “monkey”, was very agile and cunning. He snatched the mineral water away when the tourist was not paying attention.

Seeing Chen Yao laughing, the tourist was displeased and picked up a branch to hit him.

Chen Yao was frightened, but he was not seriously injured as he was thick-skinned and tough, so he drank the bottle of mineral water in gulps.

The above is Chen Yao’s experience this time. That branch was the lightning.

Of course, this story is definitely not over yet.

After finishing the mineral water, Chen Yao naturally had to eat something to fill his stomach. The next time he might be hit by a tree branch, a slap in the face, or even a fist.

If you act recklessly and irritate tourists or injure them, you may be shot by snipers.

Chen Yao could have chosen not to provoke the other party, but the problem was that if he didn’t snatch the food, there would be nothing delicious to eat, and he would have to continue eating wild fruits in the mountains.

Therefore, what Chen Yao had to do was not to avoid those sticks and slaps, but to train himself to have strong muscles. When Chen Yao changed from a monkey to an ape, sticks, slaps and fists were naturally useless.

When Chen Yao transformed from a gorilla into King Kong, not to mention sniper rifles, even rocket launchers were useless.

When Chen Yao changes from King Kong into a human, he… becomes a new tourist.

But now Chen Yao is still a “monkey”, at most a “monkey” with eight-pack abs. It is a bit difficult to become King Kong, let alone become a tourist…

Xiao Mo has finished roaring.

Before Chen Yao could move, Xiao Mo had already transformed into lightning and appeared in front of Chen Yao.

“Thank you, God Zhu.”

Xiao Mo was very excited. He felt that he was incredibly strong.

“Well, when you absorb the dragon energy later, you can spend more time comprehending the power of the thunder. There will be many opportunities later.”

Xiao Mo paused, and before he could open his mouth he heard Chen Yao’s next words.

“Next time I’ll let you try the purple thunderbolt. The one you have now is still a little weak.”

As he spoke, Chen Yao stretched out his hand and drew out a ray of lightning from Xiao Mo’s body. As he rubbed his fingers, the lightning disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Mo lowered his head even lower.

“I’ll try harder next time.”

“Well, let’s go.”

After Chen Yao finished speaking, Xiao Mo left the spot in a flash, and even Xiao Qing who had been waiting for it nearby ran away without a trace without paying any attention to it.

Chen Yao took a look at the tiles of the worship square that were shattered by Xiao Mo’s lightning, and restored them to their original state with some helplessness.

“Why don’t we use the Earth Path for the next one? That way it won’t rot.”

Chen Yao said so.

After thinking about it, Chen Yao left the worship square and came to the place he had chosen to survive the tribulation.

Compared to Xiao Mo’s noise, the noise he caused himself might be even bigger.

“Now let’s see if [Tongming] has any changes.”

As he spoke, Chen Yao’s will once again came to the Styx space, but this time it was different.

Chen Yao’s will can be moved, but it must be wrapped in the essence of the Dark Dao, and it will encounter resistance when moving, and the essence of the Dark Dao will be consumed.

Although it’s a bit frustrating, there has been a change after all.

“So, what can we do in this state?”

It didn’t take long before Chen Yao flew above the River Styx. After thinking for a while, he dived down!

boom!
Originally Chen Yao had made preparations, but he did not expect the impact after entering the Styx would be so great.

Countless chaotic thoughts entered Chen Yao’s mind, and emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and resentment intertwined, eroding Chen Yao’s will.

At this time, various expressions began to appear on the face of Chen Yao’s clone on the stone mountain.

When a smile appears on your face.

The wind around me became softer, the sunlight became brighter, and even the stones around my body didn’t seem so sharp anymore.

When the smile fades, anger rises.

The wind was as sharp as a knife, blowing away a layer of stone dust! The sun became scorching hot, and the heat wave distorted the air! The surrounding stones cracked and cracked.

When the anger fades, the sadness appears.

The wind stopped and the sunlight could no longer shine in. Chen Yao on the stone seemed to not belong to this world. He had no sense of existence at all, as if he had been abandoned.

When the sad look disappears, the resentful look begins to appear.

When the wind blows, it brings with it silent howls; under the sunlight, countless shadowy figures appear and disappear.

His face kept changing and the surrounding environment was also changing in various ways.

Until one moment, Chen Yao’s face regained calmness and he opened his eyes.

“call……”

There was a sound of exhalation, followed by a loud bang.

The thousand-foot-high mountain that Chen Yao was sitting on…collapsed.

But at this time, Chen Yao, who was standing in the air, ignored the mountain.

“Fortunately, my divine consciousness is strong, otherwise I would have been stunned!”

Chen Yao thought of various situations, but he did not expect that his underworld essence was not enough to allow his will to enter the Styx.

When he dived in, the underworld energy only lasted for a moment before it was dispersed, and then something happened.

What will happen if a will appears in the River Styx?
Either this will is destroyed and merged into the Styx, or it turns into unconscious souls in the Styx.

Otherwise, this will controls the Styx and becomes the Styx!

Obviously Chen Yao had no way to control the River Styx, but fortunately it was not overwhelmed.

When he found out something was wrong, Chen Yao wanted to end the spiritual communication immediately.

But it was easy to come here, but not so easy to leave.

It was as if countless hands were pulling at Chen Yao’s will, and Chen Yao was walking with great difficulty.

If it weren’t for his powerful spiritual power, Chen Yao might have been destroyed by the endless chaotic thoughts before his will was extracted.

Chen Yao didn’t know what the situation would be like by then.

But he had a feeling that it would be useless even if he cut off that will at that time.

The power of the Styx can be traced back to his original body!

“The Styx? It seems to be a very important thing.”

After Chen Yao learned that the Totem Lord had an extraordinary identity, he has always regarded himself as a being of a very high level.

But now, Chen Yao discovered that the identity of the Totem Lord was not invincible.

At least in front of the ‘Tao’, it is one level lower.

“It seems that I have to study the way of the underworld carefully in the future. With such an awesome power, I naturally want to have ‘one hundred copies’ in my own hands!”

Thinking of Xia Longhu, Chen Yao smiled.

It shouldn’t be difficult to snatch things from him.

After resting for a while, Chen Yao looked down at the collapsed mountain. He also sensed something about the situation of his clone just now. He was also surprised that those emotions could have such an effect.

But he now has many means at his disposal, and he always feels a little ashamed to make those expressions for the sake of fighting.

“How about…let these emotions be passed on to others?”

Chen Yao suddenly thought of this method.

“How do we implement this?”

Chen Yao scanned the totems on his body and finally stopped at the curse witch totem.

curse?
“By the way, there seems to be one last fragment of the Curse Witch Totem in the Snake King Cave. We can take it back now.”

Having said that, Chen Yao disappeared on the spot.
