The power of the curse is strong, but not strong enough.

After using the verbal spell, Chen Yao discovered some of the secrets of the spell.

The so-called way of mantra is to use the power of Tao to influence the potential Tao behind other existences.

Just like what Chen Yao said just now, “fallen leaves”, actually the curse has touched the path where those trees are.

But there is a condition here, that is, the existence of the influence of the curse does not account for a large proportion of the path it is in.

For example, the Way of Trees and the Way of Curses are both wealthy families in ancient times. The Way of Trees is honest, while the Way of Curses is eloquent.

On this day, Zhu Zhidao came to Shu Zhidao’s house, and after a lot of chatter, he told Shu Zhidao, “Let a few of your servants die for me.”

Shu Zhidao didn’t take it seriously. The servants died and it didn’t matter. Buying a new servant would cost less than the money for a drink, so he ordered his servants to execute several servants.

But if the Way of Curse said to the Way of Tree: “Let one of your sons and one of your wife die.”

The Tree Path would not pay any attention to the Curse Path at all, and would even slap it back.

Compared with what Chen Yao did just now, the big trees all over the mountains were just dispensable servants in the eyes of the Way of Trees, so when Chen Yao touched the Way of Trees with the Way of Curse, the Way of Trees directly made the trees lose their leaves.

It is good, but Chen Yao understands that the way of curse can only be used against those who are weaker than himself and whose mastery of the Tao is weaker than himself.

If you encounter someone who has a strong grasp of the Tao, then the art of mantra will be useless.

Therefore, if you go to look for the Heavenly Corpse later, the curse can only create some obstacles to the Heavenly Corpse, and you cannot cast the curse directly on the Heavenly Corpse.

Otherwise, it is very likely that the Heavenly Corpse will not be injured, and the opponent will counterattack with the curse.

With this in mind, Chen Yao stopped studying the art of spells.

Looking back, Chen Yao took stock of the Dao he had mastered.

The ten paths seen in the long river of time have been mastered.

They are gold, wood, water, fire, earth, Hades, thunder, time, space, and curse.

Among them, the five colors and five elements are mastered the most, and each path has one tenth of the degree of that path.

Next is the Way of Time and the Way of Thunder.

One of these two paths is to stay longer in the long river of time, and the other is to better survive the thunder tribulation, so both have been improved before.

Not much has been invested in the Way of the Underworld, but so far, Chen Yao has confirmed that the Way of the Underworld is indeed a special and exclusive way.

As Chen Yao’s mastery level increases, the upper limit of other beings who master the way of the underworld becomes lower.

If one day comes, a duel will come between us and the being who may master the way of the underworld.

After the Way of the Underworld, there are two new ways to master, the Way of Space and the Way of Curse.

Currently he has 30 million fires of faith, and it is definitely impossible to improve them evenly. After all, 30 million fires of faith can only improve one path to one-tenth of its level, which is not even enough.

If it is spread out, it will be even less.

So Chen Yao was ready to make a choice.

First of all, the Five Elements can be ruled out. They are already strong enough, and further improvement will not be as valuable as improving other Daos.

Another thing is that in order to improve the Five Elements, all five must be improved. If you share the cost, the improvement of six million fires of faith is not that great.

Secondly, Chen Yao ruled out the way of curse. The current level of this way is already sufficient, and it can be regarded as an auxiliary means in the future.

Then comes the Way of Space, which is also ruled out. Although the power of space is strong enough, the Way of Thunder and the Way of Hell are not bad either. If the Heavenly Corpse takes a long time to arrive, it will not be too late to continue to obtain the Fire of Faith and improve it.

Finally, there are only three paths left.

Time, Hades, and Thunder.

The Way of Hell remains because of its special nature, and the Way of Thunder remains because of its destructive power.

As for the law of time, it is purely for the purpose of seizing the initiative in battle and anticipating the enemy outside of battle.

After some thought, Chen Yao gave up the Way of Thunder.

After all, with the Dao of Five Elements, the attack power is already sufficient. If the Dao of Five Colors and Five Elements cannot cause enough damage to the Heavenly Corpse, then the Dao of Thunder may have to be improved to the level of mastering half of the entire Dao before there is a chance to try.

Immediately, Chen Yao began to improve the remaining Way of the Underworld and the Way of Time.

But before that, Chen Yao condensed all 30 million fires of faith. After all, he had never seen a fireball composed of so many fires of faith.

In the blink of an eye, a huge fireball with a diameter of a thousand feet, composed entirely of the fire of faith, appeared in the air.

Chen Yao looked intoxicated.

Before he could consume the fire of faith, the monsters in the Wanzu Village rushed towards him like crazy.

Compared with humans and alien races, the monsters in Wanzu Village have the most intuitive perception of the fire of faith.

Then, hundreds of thousands of giant pythons of all sizes swam out from the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, and the two real dragons, Xiao Mo and Xiao Qing, led hundreds of flooded dragons into the sky.

In the forest of thousands of beasts, the white tiger was the first to be attacked, followed by the big wolf with his wolf pack, Bear Two holding his honey, and Deer Three, Sparrow Four, Ox Five, Sheep Six, Clam Seven, Pig Eight and other monsters, carrying Shui Ling’er and running wildly.

Taogu Baishan instantly appeared in front of the two little white apes and soared into the air with them.

The old white ape didn’t care whether anyone would steal its peaches or not, and led the white ape tribe to jump down from the Wanling Peach Tree with a howl.

Que Shi, who had just arrived at Wanzu Village not long ago, led a group of turkeys to fly at low altitude, flapping their wings.

Anyone who saw this scene wanted to follow.

But humans are humans after all. After being scolded by various managers, humans and aliens still suppressed their curiosity and looked at the backs of the monsters to guess what had happened.

But before they could finish guessing, the monsters that had just rushed out came back disappointed.

This made them even more confused.

At this moment, Chen Yao just absorbed the 30 million fires of faith into his body and began to improve the Way of the Underworld and the Way of Time.

With the blessing of the fire of faith, the two paths were constantly instilling in Chen Yao the understanding of the Tao.

This kind of understanding gained from the fire of faith was like being chewed and crushed. As soon as it appeared, it turned into the power of Taoism, enhancing Chen Yao’s understanding of Taoism.

After dozens of breaths, Chen Yao opened his eyes.

The blindfold fell off, revealing Chen Yao’s two eyes, one bright as a star, the other dark as the abyss.

After a long time, the abnormality in his two eyes disappeared and Chen Yao recovered.

Exhaling lightly, Chen Yao took a step forward and was already in the Styx space.

Nearly one-fifteenth of the Way of the Underworld made Chen Yao’s perception of the River Styx even stronger.

With a wave of his hand, a tributary emerged from the endless Styx, flowing towards Chen Yao and around him.

Looking at the floating and sinking souls in the tributaries of the Styx who were still staring at themselves, Chen Yao waved his hand and the souls sank to the bottom of the Styx.

After trying for ten minutes in the Styx space, Chen Yao finally became familiar with the various feelings of mobilizing the Styx.

After thinking about it, Chen Yao triggered the power of Mingli’s [Tongming] totem again.

Immediately, he found that his consciousness appeared in the Styx space.

At this time, part of his consciousness was in his clone, and part was in [Tongming], so when they sensed each other, their “eyes” met.

But Chen Yao’s clone didn’t see anything at that location. No longer thinking about what form [Underworld] existed in, Chen Yao let his consciousness contact the Styx.

Last time, Chen Yao almost didn’t come back from the River Styx.

This time, it was the same scene, but Chen Yao was completely different.

As his consciousness sank into the Styx, Chen Yao first sensed a sense of desolation, and then was overwhelmed by countless emotions.

However, this time, whether it was Chen Yao’s mastery of the Way of the Underworld or the growth of his own spiritual consciousness, he would not be paralyzed by such a level of emotional shock.

Then, Chen Yao began to swim along the River Styx. Souls passed by Chen Yao’s consciousness one after another, but none of them noticed Chen Yao’s existence.

After wandering in the River Styx for five minutes, Chen Yao finally withdrew his consciousness from the River Styx with nothing gained.

But when he came out, he found that he was too far away from the location of his clone.

In his consciousness, he had only wandered for five minutes and covered a distance of less than ten thousand feet.

But when he came out, the connection between his consciousness and his body was no longer there.

“Where am I?”

Thinking of this, Chen Yao let his clone return to reality.

Then, consciousness returned.

The moment his consciousness left the Styx space, Chen Yao saw the outside world.

That is the boundless sea.

The sea water was gray-black, like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.

Above the sea, there were endless dark clouds, from which something familiar to Chen Yao would occasionally pop out.

Thunder!

A thunder tribulation that carries the essence of thunder!
It is hard to imagine what the scene would be like when there is no other color in the sky, only calamity clouds and thunder.

At this moment, Chen Yao saw something else.

A tentacle millions of feet long slowly rose from the sea. When the tentacle appeared, the water flowing down its body alone submerged and destroyed dozens of islands thousands of feet in size nearby.

Then, the tentacle actually came directly towards Chen Yao’s consciousness!

Unfortunately, it will never be able to attract Chen Yao’s consciousness.

When the pulling force of [Tongming] appeared, the tentacle turned into a black dot and moved away from Chen Yao’s consciousness.

No, it should be that Chen Yao’s speed was too fast and the tentacles could not catch up at all.

In the last moment when his consciousness returned, Chen Yao saw an island, an island that was many times larger than the tentacle just now.

After his consciousness entered the clone, Chen Yao suddenly realized.

That’s not an island, that’s the land he is on!

“Is that so?”

After Chen Yao obtained the way of time, he had never observed the land he was on. Now, he could see the whole picture of this continent in this way.

“So, it’s just an island?”

Chen Yao was helpless.

I used to think about inserting sub-pillars into every corner of the world, but now I find out that the world is just an island?

This made Chen Yao feel like he was being cheated.

But then he thought, he hasn’t even filled the island with pillars yet, so why bother about whether it is an island or not?
Shaking his head and laughing, Chen Yao stopped thinking about it.

“It seems that the Styx is indeed a way to leave this place. If I cross the Styx with my clone next time, can I reach that sea, or another island?”

Chen Yao thought so, but did not do so.

Apart from anything else, the boundless sea and the thunder that has been covering the sky do not seem easy to deal with.

Not to mention the huge tentacle. Before leaving, Chen Yao saw that the tentacle was struck by lightning because it was too long.

In the end, nothing happened.

In this case, that tentacle is at least a touch-path-level existence, and it is much more powerful than Xia Longhu who has just touched the path.

The most important thing is that it is only a corner of the ocean.

Chen Yao didn’t believe that there was only one tentacle in the sea.

Letting go of his obsession with leaving here, Chen Yao murmured, “If we want to leave, we have to deal with the Heavenly Corpse first. If we really can’t defeat it, then we can decide whether to take our real body and jump into the Styx.”

Then, Chen Yao entered the long river of time again.

Looking at the colorful river of time, Chen Yao’s mood did not improve much.

“Let’s see what we can see after improving the way of time so much!”

As he spoke, Chen Yao entered the River of Time and began to swim forward.

The pictures reappeared one after another, and Chen Yao saw something different this time.

Man Yi’s figure appeared on the big crack. At this moment, he was kneeling in front of the crack.

This time, Man Er to Man Twelve were not beside him, and it seemed that they were not resurrected.

This situation continued for a long time, until the picture shook, and Chen Yao saw Man Yi… jumped into the crack.

After that, Chen Yao could no longer see even if he wanted to. Even though he had comprehended one tenth of the law of time, he still could not see the picture in the crack.

This time, Chen Yao did not hesitate any more, but continued swimming. Pictures flashed by one after another, and Chen Yao ignored those invalid pictures.

Until he saw his own figure appear and saw ten kinds of Tao aura surrounding him.

The picture was blurry, and the more Chen Yao tried to see it more clearly, the blurrier it became.

Until he couldn’t hold on any longer, he seemed to see those ten colors… disappear!

After returning, Chen Yao was in a low mood.

“The color disappeared…”

The only possibility he could think of was that he was destroyed, so Dao Yun also disappeared.

But subconsciously, he who had mastered the way of time had a feeling.

That wasn’t a bad thing, at least not as bad as he thought.

But Chen Yao couldn’t figure out why the ten colors disappeared.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Chen Yao thought for a long time and then left Wanzu Village.

Instead of thinking about what you have and what you don’t, it is better to take advantage of your current strength and plow the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains. The best way to relieve your worries is to light more fires of faith.

Thinking of this, Chen Yao’s mind moved, and clones of Chen Yao appeared around all the sub-pillars near the Five Elements Land, the Turkey Village, and the Sky Island.

If you’re going to plow, plow it cleanly!
