Chapter 174 The Land of the Netherworld, the Other Side of Reincarnation

Water Virtue Astrology·Huangquan, this is one of Lu Chen's current trump cards.

However, his 'underworld' is naturally not the real underworld, but a special power that imitates underworld.

In other words, it is a special magical power with the way of underworld.

Just like swordsmanship can be divided into Taoist and non-Taoist realms, there is actually such a division between magical powers.

It's just that the conditions for magical power to enter the Tao are different from those of swordsmanship and other abilities that only depend on understanding.

When it comes to magical powers, one actually pays more attention to physique and bloodline.

Although Lu Chen's previous five magical powers were only at the realm-breaking level.

But after experiencing the baptism of the ‘Hualong Pond’.

All five of his realm-breaking magical powers have undergone qualitative changes and reached the 'Enter Dao level'.

The five virtue stars correspond to the five elements, and the five elements correspond to his original five magical powers.

The reason for these magical powers of his was that he was able to enter the realm of Taoism after experiencing the Dragon Transformation Pond.

This is about the particularity of the magical power.

It is different from ‘skills’ such as swordsmanship and boxing.

Magical powers belong to the category of ‘skills’.

And art attaches great importance to blood.

Therefore, if a magical power wants to reach the realm of Taoism.

It's not enough to rely solely on one's own mastery of magical powers.

You also need your body’s bloodline to reach a certain level.

This is why the same magical power, after being practiced by different people, may produce very different effects.

This is because most of the magical powers are actually learned by monks by imitating the strange beasts of heaven and earth, which are also commonly known as visualization methods.

But the physiques of monks and alien beasts are always different.

No matter how much you imitate, it is impossible to completely imitate the power of those strange beasts when they use their magical powers.

This has nothing to do with the monk's understanding, it is purely because the body structure and blood power of the two parties are different.

And it is precisely because of this that all the skills and magical powers of the Immortal Alliance have the term "fit".

This was also the reason why Lu Chen could use this to explain why he was able to practice the 'Zixia Health Kung Fu' to great perfection so quickly, even to the point of breaking through.

Not before Hualong Pond, breaking through the realm was already the limit that Lu Chen could practice these five techniques.

After all, the thing that breaks through the realm is the realm of ‘skills’.

The reason why Lu Chen couldn't further improve those magical powers was not because he didn't have enough understanding.

It was because his original physique lacked the necessary conditions to support further qualitative changes in these magical powers.

But after experiencing the baptism of the Hualong Pond, Lu Chen's body had completely integrated with the qualitatively changed attributes of these supernatural powers.

Without the limitations of his physique, his level of supernatural powers would naturally improve.

There is now a special form of the five virtues’ astrology after the qualitative change.

The reason why Lu Chen chose to use the 'Shui De Astrology·Huangquan' to deal with Taotie instead of using other astrological powers.

Naturally, it is because of the special effects of Huangquan.

[Special magical power: Shui De Astrology·Yellow Spring]

[Realm: Entering the Tao]

[Effect 1. Forgotten River: The water of Forgotten River is a place for lonely souls. When used, it can directly attack the soul of a monk and damage his life span]

[Effect 2. Carrier: Greatly increase the recovery speed of spiritual power and weaken the power of the enemy's magical powers]

[Special Effect·Yellow Spring: It can reverse yin and yang, control some dead things, turn the dead energy into vitality, and live toward death. 】

Compared with other astrological powers, the biggest advantage of 'Shui De Xing Xiang Huangquan' is that it can absorb death energy and its terrifying spiritual energy absorption speed.

After all, the essence of Huangquan is also water, and water is the softest of all attributes, moisturizing things silently.

It allowed Lu Chen to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy like water without any hindrance.

Although the fairy breath in Lu Chen's 'Dao Blessing·Fairy Spirit Lotus Embryo' also has a similar effect of increasing the speed of spiritual power absorption.

Moreover, Haoran Qinglian Sword Domain can also enhance his spiritual power absorption speed in the domain.

But Lu Chen felt that this was not enough.

Because to deal with a being like Taotie who can tyrannically swallow up the spiritual power of the world.

There are undoubtedly two best ways.

One is to crush with absolute strength, which Lu Chen undoubtedly cannot do without using the magical talisman of the transformation stage.

The other way is to find a way to cut off the channels through which it devours.

In other words, what Lu Chen is doing right now is actually robbing Taotie of all the spiritual power in this world.

In disguise, Taotie's spiritual power recovery speed is reduced.

While reducing Taotie's recovery speed, he was trying to find ways to suppress it, thereby buying time for Diting to repair the Four Symbols seal.

This was the plan Lu Chen made after understanding the power of Taotie's fate.

After all, with the three levels of spiritual energy absorption and enhancement, Lu Chen was currently plundering the spiritual energy of the world at a very fast speed.

He is no longer much weaker than Taotie, who has only completed the foundation building stage.

Reflecting on the reality, it was not just Taotie who could absorb Lu Chen's attack.

He could also absorb Taotie's attacks on Lu Chen!

‘The greed that devours gluttony. ’

Lu Chen didn't just say this.

And after feeling that the spiritual energy around him was snatched away by Lu Chen at an alarming speed.

Taotie also began to look squarely at the enemy in front of him.

This enemy is much more troublesome than he imagined.

I saw Taotie, half of its body struggling out of the underground prison, slowly opening its eyes under its armpits.

The next second, a scarlet light spot gathered around Taotie.

After a while, these light spots turned into creatures that had been devoured by gluttons.

Some of these creatures are strange beasts, some are monks, and they look all kinds of strange.

In ancient times, there was a saying that people acted as helpers for tigers, and the ‘伥’ among them was the ‘伥鬼’.

'Sheep body and human face, eyes under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws...'

Taotie's armpit eyes are not just for decoration.

Its greedy eye can control the creatures that have been devoured by it.

Due to the current limitations of his strength, Taotie can only summon the 'Ghost' at the foundation-building stage for the time being.

But even so, the number of hundreds of foundation-building ghosts is still not something ordinary people can handle.

But Lu Chen was not an ordinary person.

Lu Chen looked at these demons and said disdainfully: "Use the power of demons to deal with me. It seems that you have been sealed for too long and you can't see the situation clearly."

As he spoke, the environment around Lu Chen changed.

The next second, a special scene full of red flowers appeared around him.

These flowers are as red as blood, and each one seems to be watered by blood.

They... are the legendary flowers of the other side.

Lu Chen's white bone-shaped water virtue astrology Huangquan stands among these other shore flowers, with a touch of Buddha nature in the weirdness.

The land of Nine Netherworlds, the place of reincarnation on the other side’.

The manifestation of artistic conception is a unique sign of entering the Taoist realm.

When Lu Chen unfolded this artistic conception, he naturally didn't just want Taotie to see the scenery on the other side of the underworld.

"You have ghosts and demons to help you do evil, and I also have ghosts and ghosts to help you."

As he spoke, the Bone Star behind Lu Chen clasped his hands together.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of death energy that filled the sealed land was absorbed by the Bone Star.

Among them was the death aura of two golden elixir-level monks, Chou Niu and Wu Ma, who died nearby.

Not long after, a minotaur ghost soldier and a horse-faced ghost soldier walked out of Lu Chen's artistic conception of the other side.

Except for their appearance, they are exactly the same as the ugly ox and wu horse before.

The two ghost soldiers also held similar "mourning sticks" and "decapitation knives" in their hands.

After all, the ancient magic weapon is not only a magic weapon, but also an alternative kind of creature.

There is no difference between their brokenness and the death of living beings.

There is also the existence of death energy and soul in nature.

Lu Chen looked at the pair of bull-headed and horse-faced faces, and an idea flashed in his mind. .

Originally, he had never thought about how to use the two golden elixirs of Chou Niu and Wu Ma.

It would be a waste if not used, and it would also increase the strength of the Black Lotus Sect.

But if you use it yourself, there will be quite a few side effects.

But now this problem has been solved.

"go."

Lu Chen took out the two golden elixirs and threw them directly into the new body of the bull-headed horse-faced body.

The next second, the cultivation level of Niutou Mamian, who was only in the foundation-building stage, began to skyrocket.

Not long after, we reached the realm of the false elixir period.

And this is the limit they can reach for the time being.

After all, the current Minotaur and Horsemen are like puppets.

Without self-consciousness, it is naturally impossible to achieve the true state of golden elixir.

But Lu Chen had a feeling that when his Shui De astrology improved, he might let them absorb enough death energy.

These two bull-headed horse noodles may one day reach a level comparable to real bull-headed horse noodles.

And Lu Chen suddenly thought of it.

At present, I have initially mastered the power of Huangquan, and I have also contracted with Tingting, the legendary beast under Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in his previous life.

If you include the bull-headed horse noodles...

Then when he masters the power of reincarnation, wouldn't he be able to create a real 'underworld' on his own?

Combined with what he had learned before, it was only after the gods and Buddhas in the game created real reincarnation that they finally found a way to fight against Gu Gang.

Lu Chen had a vague feeling.

This matter may have a lot to do with myself...

Although his current underworld power can only absorb death energy.

But this does not mean that he will be like this in the future.

If he can absorb the soul of the monk in the future, and even the legendary cause and effect, merit and karma.

Then he might really be able to create this underworld on his own.

While Lu Chen was thinking about this, his two bull-headed and horse-faced figures seemed to be peeped by some being, so that their figures began to shake.

But this kind of peeking goes as quickly as it comes.

It quickly disappeared.

However, the strange power of this moment was immediately captured by Taotie and Lu Chen.

Taotie didn't know what that power was, but Lu Chen understood it very well.

There is no doubt that that is the power of Black Lotus Buddha Mother.

It seems that the Black Lotus Buddha Mother sensed the existence of the bull-headed and horse-faced people, and mistakenly thought that they were new believers who accepted the "power of the twelve earthly branches", so she wanted to come here to send blessings.

But after discovering that these two guys were just puppets, Mother Buddha stopped paying attention to them.

As for the power of the twelve earthly branches remaining in their bodies, Mother Buddha doesn't care at all.

This is because the relationship between the Black Lotus Sect and the Black Lotus Buddha Mother has never been bound.

The Black Lotus Sect is like a group of licking dogs, trying their best to please the Buddha Mother in order to obtain more gifts.

As for the Buddha Mother, if the Black Lotus Sect's sacrifice satisfies her, then she doesn't mind giving them some sweetness.

If he is not satisfied, then He will not care about these guys at all.

Therefore, to the Mother Buddha, it does not matter who has obtained the power of the twelve earthly branches.

Because these things have already been sent out by Him.

If something is lost, it is lost. He will not help the people of the Black Lotus Sect to find it back.

When the breath of the Black Lotus Buddha Mother disappeared.

The Bull-Headed Horse-Faced Demon completely returned to normal.

They looked at the ghosts summoned by Taotie not far away, and rushed up with weapons.

In response, Taotie just looked at them coldly, and let the surrounding ghosts come up.

Not long after, the two sides collided with each other.

Although in terms of quantity, the Bull-Headed Horse-Faced Demon was at an absolute disadvantage.

But in terms of quality, the Bull-Headed Horse-Faced Demon completely crushed these ghosts who were only in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

These ghosts, let alone threatening the Bull-Headed Horse-Faced Demon, could not even hurt the Bull-Headed Horse-Faced Demon's body protection Dan Qi.

Not only that, the weapons in the hands of the Bull-Headed Horse-Faced Demon seemed to have a strong restraining effect on the evil spirits.

So that every attack of theirs could easily kill a ghost in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After the death of these ghosts, half of their dead energy will enter the body of the Ox-Headed and Horse-Face.

The other half will enter the Yellow Springs realm that Lu Chen unfolded.

Originally, this part of the dead energy will all return to the body of Taotie.

Let it summon these dead ghosts again.

Then make these ghosts reach a level of near immortality.

However, under Lu Chen's current triple spiritual power absorption state.

Taotie can't even compete with him.

As a result, the dead energy of these ghosts after death can't return to the body of Taotie at all, but enter Lu Chen's Yellow Springs and the body of the Ox-Headed and Horse-Face.

Snatching food from the mouth of Taotie, this is the first time that Taotie has encountered such a weird situation in the ages.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer ghosts around him, Taotie, who originally wanted to let the ghosts test Lu Chen's strength, can't sit still.

Because it feels that if it continues like this.

It didn't even think about consuming Lu Chen's spiritual power.

Lu Chen might become stronger instead.

Taotie had never thought of losing to a human cultivator in a war of attrition.

However, although Taotie was a violent beast, it was not a man without courage and strategy.

When one plan failed, Taotie immediately changed its strategy.

"Roar!"

Taotie roared, and the eyes under its armpits opened immediately.

Then the ghosts scattered around immediately returned to the body.

Then, Taotie used force to pull out a little of his body from the seal again, and it had reached two-thirds.

It looked at Lu Chen not far away, and Di Ting behind Lu Chen who was repairing the Four Symbols Seal.

It knew that it didn't have much time left.

Because in addition to Lu Chen and Di Ting, Taotie could also sense that some of its clones in the valley were also dying quickly.

Although that clone was just its backup.

But if all these clones died, Lu Chen asked Di Ting to repair the four seals around them.

Then he would undoubtedly return to the dark underground prison.

And such a day was hard for Taotie to accept just thinking about.

With this thought, Taotie decided to take real action against Lu Chen.

Since ordinary magic and magical powers could not do anything to this strange human cultivator.

Then use the most primitive method!

The flesh of the beast... is their most proud weapon!

Taotie looked at Lu Chen, raised his claws directly, and then slapped towards Lu Chen.

In response, before Lu Chen could react, Di Ting, who had been paying attention to Taotie with his peripheral vision, became anxious.

"Brother Lu, stop it!"

Lu Chen glanced at Di Ting, who looked timid, and nodded calmly.

Then he took a step forward, and a blood-colored spirit sword appeared in his hand.

At the same time, his huge water virtue star Huang Quan also held the huge lotus spirit sword condensed by the Haoran Qinglian sword domain with both hands.

The next second, Lu Chen swung out with a sword.

In contrast, the white bone star, representing the power of Huang Quan, held the hilt of the sword with both hands and slashed at the claws of Taotie.

Bang!

The sword and claws collided, and a terrifying air wave immediately rolled up in the valley.

And the lotus spirit sword that was invincible and could easily suppress the Jindan period was actually held up by Taotie with his body at this time.

And at this stage, Taotie only had the perfect cultivation of the foundation building period.

It can be seen that Taotie's status is as high as that of ordinary Tiandao foundation building cultivators.

Not only that, Lu Chen also found that the spiritual power in his lotus spirit sword was being devoured by Taotie at an astonishing speed.

A closer look revealed that Taotie's claws were full of tiny mouths.

And they are constantly gnawing on the Lotus Spirit Sword and absorbing the spiritual power in it.

But all this was within Lu Chen's expectations.

He had never thought from the beginning that his sword could cause any substantial damage to Taotie.

The biggest effect of this sword was actually just to hold Taotie back.

"My spiritual power is not something that anyone can consume."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Chen's figure teleported to the sky above Taotie.

The lotus-shaped pupils of his eyes kept rotating, and soon found a weakness on Taotie's body.

It was Taotie's eye under the armpit.

Then he held the bloodthirsty spirit sword in his hand, and his figure disappeared again, teleported to the eye under the armpit, and slashed it with a sword.

Ding!

The sharp bloodthirsty spirit sword was actually unable to break through the flesh of Taotie at once, and made a crisp metal collision sound.

It seemed to be to laugh at Lu Chen's overestimation of his own ability.

Taotie didn't attack Lu Chen's body, but focused on absorbing the huge spiritual power contained in Lu Chen's Lotus Spirit Sword.

This is the fierce beast Taotie, a greedy existence.

As long as there is a chance, it will not give up any "food" that comes to its mouth.

However, Lu Chen did not seem surprised by this.

He looked at the only weakness of Taotie, turned around, and began to accumulate power again.

Only this time, a strange sword intent began to be released from Lu Chen's body.

This breath was full of "desolation".

After sensing this strange sword intent, the smile on Taotie's face disappeared.

Because it felt danger from Lu Chen's sword intent.

And this sword intent was specially comprehended by Lu Chen with experience points before entering the Mountain and Sea Realm, named... Eight Desolations.

[Eight Desolations Sword Intention: Entry Level (Cannot be upgraded)]

[Effect: Gathering the power of the Great Desolation on the sword body, you can compress your own spiritual power to the extreme, forming the purest sword pressure, and slash the Eight Desolations with the sword. 】

The Eight Desolate Sword Intentions originated from the skill that Lu Chen obtained when he defeated the Black Lotus Sect Saint Ji Yuan in the Jindan stage in the Great Yan Dynasty... The Great Desolate Sword Skill.

[The Great Desolate Sword Skill]

[Practice requirements: at least high-grade gold and earth attribute spiritual roots, and mastery level or above (sword/sword skills)]

[Effect: The sword skill of the wilderness, mainly kills, and can cut through the Eight Desolate Sword Skills when it is fully mastered]

With Lu Chen's current realm, he has already reached the point where the sword skill and the sword skill can be interchanged.

Therefore, after practicing the Great Desolate Sword Skill to the Dao Entry Realm.

This Great Desolate Sword Skill naturally became the Eight Desolate Sword Skill.

And the spiritual power compressed by this sword skill can not only cover the surface of the spirit sword, but also be compressed in the sword body.

Therefore, this Eight Desolate Sword Skill can be used as the ultimate sword energy.

It can also be used as the ultimate physical attack.

If Taotie wants to devour this sword, it must bite through Lu Chen's bloodthirsty spirit sword.

Perhaps sensing the danger of Lu Chen's sword, Taotie immediately slapped with its other claw.

Just as this claw passed over Lu Chen's body, Lu Chen's body turned into lotus petals and disappeared in mid-air.

Let Taotie's claw fall into the air.

When Lu Chen's body condensed again, he had already arrived at the position of Taotie's armpit.

Or rather, it was the sword energy mark left on the eyelid of Taotie's armpit.

That's right, Lu Chen's first sword just now was not only a test, but also left a sword energy mark at Taotie's weakness to facilitate the next attack.

Facing Taotie, who had no time to make extra moves, Lu Chen swung the bloodthirsty spirit sword in his hand.

This sword landed on the eyelid of Taotie's armpit, and immediately made a sharp metal cutting sound.

Lu Chen held the sword with both hands, most of the sword body was immersed in it, and he slashed it hard.

The sharp bloodthirsty sword broke through the skin of Taotie and directly hurt its eyes.

Although Taotie is huge, its eyes are the source of its power.

"Roar!"

Taotie screamed, and even stopped absorbing the spiritual power of the Lotus Spirit Sword. He slapped Lu Chen with his two claws, wanting to kill him on the spot.

But Lu Chen disappeared again at the moment when his two claws were about to reach him.

When he appeared again, he had come to the back of Taotie.

That's right, he was ready to fight a war of attrition with Taotie...

Use the sword domain and water virtue astrology to limit the speed of Taotie's spiritual power absorption.

Use the Eight Desolate Sword Technique and the special effects of the bloodthirsty sword to give Taotie pure physical attacks.

Lu Chen, who has many means, never sticks to one way of fighting.

Use different tactics according to different enemies.

Use the lawless as the law, and the infinite as the finite.

Adapt to local conditions and be flexible.

Only in this way can we anticipate the enemy's moves and defeat them!

Looking at the back of Taotie, Lu Chen swung his sword again without any pause.

He... found the weakness of Taotie!
