Chapter 446: Three Totems! (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

A Triple Viper less than two meters long with a seven-colored body and a flat triangular head floated in the air under the control of Han Zhao’s true qi.

No matter how it struggled and resisted, it could not break free.

“It just so happens that I have a ready-made Beast Taming Bag. It saves me a lot of trouble.’

Han Zhao found two red and three red Beast Taming Bags on the martial artist’s remains. Two of them were already damaged, and the remaining one was still intact. However, it was empty.

From the martial artist’s remains, he should have been severely injured when he was alive. He had probably passed away not long after returning to the cave abode.

Because it had been sitting for too long, the Triple Viper in the Beast Taming Bag woke up after a long period of hibernation and broke open the Beast Taming Bag.

“l don’t know who your enemy is either. Otherwise, I can help you take revenge if I have the chance.”

Han Zhao opened the Sumeru Pouch on the martial artist’s corpse. There were many porcelain bottles containing medicinal pills and jade boxes containing spiritual herbs, but they were all empty.

There were only two damaged Spirit Artifacts and they had no spirituality left.

On the other hand, there were more than a hundred Golden Beads left. It was a pleasant surprise.

Han Zhao dug a pit and buried the martial artist’s remains, erecting a wordless monument.

Then, he carefully checked the Beast Taming Tome left behind by this person.

The bronze-like pages were densely engraved with words the size of pinpricks. Unless one used their mental strength to check, they would not be able to read the contents.

It seemed that if he wanted to cultivate the content of this Beast Taming Tome, he had to at least be a Lesser Divine Power Martial Saint. Han Zhao was very interested in the content.

He extended his mental power out of his body and injected it into the bronze Beast Taming Tome.

In an instant, the Beast Taming Tome shone brightly, and countless words appeared in his eyes.

“Ah, this…

Looking at the contents of the Beast Taming Tome, Han Zhao was stunned.

More than half of the content recorded the life of the person who created the beast taming secret technique. In the end, the last small portion was to condense an array foundation through mental power and use the Blood Refinement Technique to control demon beasts.

“Hiss~”

The Triple Viper, who was locked in midair by true qi, struggled violently.

Han Zhao bit his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood essence.

Under the control of his mental power, this drop of blood essence quickly stretched and deformed, finally turning into a precise array foundation.

Swoosh!

The blood essence array foundation and mental power entered the Triple

Viper’s head at the same time, deeply rooted in its soul and blood.

Soon, Han Zhao discovered a special connection with Triple Viper, as if they were connected by blood.

At this moment, Triple Viper stopped struggling.

Han Zhao retracted his true qi. The Triple Viper landed on the ground and swam towards him. It followed his pants and climbed all the way to his waist.

Finally, it wrapped around his arm and stuck out its tongue intimately at him.

“Fortunately, I have the Longevity Technique to protect my body. Otherwise, ordinary people would probably be poisoned after two touches.”

Han Zhao was a little speechless. After being licked by Triple Viper, he felt a faint stinging and itchy feeling.

Previously, the adult Triple Viper was mainly dealt with by the Buddha Avatar. With the Vajra Protection and the Connate Blazing Sun Astral Qi, he was not afraid of poison. Han Zhao could only understand how terrifying the Triple Viper’s poison was after experiencing it personally.

“Looks like you’re worth nurturing!” Han Zhao stretched out his finger and gently fiddled with Triple Viper’s rough and hard head.

The Triple Viper stuck out its tongue and hissed. Han Zhao could feel its joy.

The advancement of demon beasts was neither difficult nor simple.

It was very difficult to break through the bloodline shackles of the race.

However, as long as one ate well, they could quickly pass the infant stage.

After all, human bodies had limits. Their digestive ability could not compare to demon beasts at all.

In any case, Han Zhao wanted to hunt Rank 3 demon beasts to refine pills. The flesh of a Martial Saint demon beast was a great tonic for the young Triple Viper.

As for the Triple Viper, after it reached adulthood, it could feed on Spirit Nurturing Pill. The pill formula was recorded in the Beast Taming Tome, but it was only a middle-grade pill.

With Han Zhao’s current alchemy level, after mastering it, refining a middle-grade Spirit Nurturing Pill would be considered a failure.

“You go hunt demon beasts. I’ll continue to refine pills. I’ll condense the third divine pattern here and refine the inner core and soul of that adult Triple Viper.”

Han Zhao instructed the Buddha Avatar beside him.

The First Level of the Three Pure Ones was perfected. He and his avatar were telepathic and could instantly know each other’s thoughts. However, if his avatars wanted to be telepathic with him, they had to obtain his approval.

“Yes,” the Buddha Avatar replied.

“In addition, if you encounter a Rank 1 lightning-element demon beast and a

Rank 2 metal-element demon beast, it’s best to capture them alive,” Han Zhao added and threw the Beast Taming Bag to the Buddha Avatar.

The Buddha Avatar took the Beast Taming Bag and quietly left the cave abode.

Han Zhao took out the pill furnace from the Sumeru Pouch and began to heat the furnace skillfully.

“Looks like it’s necessary to learn weapon refinement techniques. Otherwise, the quality of this pill furnace will never meet my requirements. It will still affect the final quality of high-grade medicinal pills.”

Han Zhao thought to himself that the quality of the pill furnace could not keep up with the speed of his alchemy improvement after frequently refining all kinds of high-grade pills.

Now, not only was Han Zhao pursuing the top-grade, but he also wanted to refine the Spiritual Saint Pill. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of the effect of the [Alchemy God in the World] Trait?

Two months passed quietly.

In the deep sea cave abode.

The Buddha Avatar closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the mat with his five cores facing the sky. Explosions sounded from his body as platinum lightning flickered.

Immediately after, there was a fine and sharp sound of air breaking.

The innate Sharp Metal Qi that was like a sharp sword swept across the surface of his body.

At that moment, the Buddha Avatar suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were like lightning.

A tiger’s roar sounded. The Buddha Avatar’s entire body turned golden red and transformed into a Vajra Body.

At the same time, the Flood Dragon Totem and the White Tiger Totem appeared. They circled in the void in front of him and finally attached to his chest.

“This True Spirit Divine Control Technique’s enhancement to the body is above my expectations. I haven’t condensed the third totem yet!” Han Zhao felt the powerful aura emitted by the Buddha Avatar and was a little speechless.

[True Spirit Divine Control Technique (Two Divine Patterns): First Divine

Pattern—Lightning Flood Dragon Totem; Lightning Inner Core (600/1,000); Second Divine Pattern—White Tiger Totem; Metal Inner Core (3,200/5,000); Third Divine Pattern—None; Special Effect: True Spirit Totem]

He turned his attention to the attribute panel.

The first two totems did not have an Inner Core or Soul. They could only be filled with the inner core and soul of demon beasts of the same attribute, so their power was greatly reduced.

However, because these two divine patterns were condensed from spirit beast blood, the upper limit would be very high.

The only problem was that Rank 2 metal-element demon beasts were even harder to find than Rank 1 lightning-element demon beasts. The Buddha Avatar spent nearly two months killing more than 20 Rank 1 lightning-element demon beasts.

On the other hand, he had captured more than a hundred Rank 2 metal-element demon beasts.

“Start condensing the third totem. I’ll protect you.”

Han Zhao took out the Soul Suppressing Bottle from the Sumeru Pouch and handed it to the Buddha Avatar.

“Alright,” the Buddha Avatar said seriously.

Han Zhao had just opened the Soul Suppressing Bottle when a snake-shaped phantom darted out of the bottle. It was Triple Viper’s soul.

Buzz!

The Buddha Avatar activated the True Spirit Divine Control Technique. The Lightning Flood Dragon Totem and the White Tiger Totem on the surface of his body seemed to have revived and become lifelike as they circled behind him.

Immediately after, a translucent vortex appeared in the void above the head of the Buddha Avatar.

Although Triple Viper’s soul struggled violently, it could not break free and was finally sucked into the vortex.

At the same time, through the Buddha Avatar’s thoughts, Han Zhao saw three crack-like patterns appear in the depths of his mind. They were the three divine patterns condensed from the Beast Soul Pill he had consumed.

Two of the divine patterns glowed brightly, and faint roars of dragons and tigers could be heard. On the other hand, the third divine pattern was grayish-white in color.

At this moment, as Triple Viper’s divine soul appeared in the Buddha Avatar’s mind, the third grayish-white divine pattern seemed to sense something and suddenly expanded.

“Swoosh!”

The Triple Viper’s divine soul was sucked into it, and the third grayish-white divine pattern instantly emitted a seven-colored rainbow light.

However, in the next second, the divine pattern began to distort and deform. Triple Viper’s furious roars continuously sounded from the divine pattern, as if an intense battle had occurred inside.

“What a strong resistance!” Han Zhao did not face Triple the Viper’s soul directly. Just through the Buddha Avatar’s senses. he felt his mind tremble from the impact of the Triple Viper’s soul.

“This is not much different from the legendary body possession.”

Han Zhao was shocked. Throughout the entire process, he had seen the Buddha Avatar’s soul suppress and devour the Triple Viper’s soul bit by bit. He could sense the Triple Viper’s monstrous killing intent and fear.

As the Buddha Avatar continued to circulate the True Spirit Divine Control Technique, the negative emotions in the Triple Viper’s soul gradually dissipated and finally disappeared without a trace.

“No wonder even a pure-blooded beast soul warrior would suffer a backlash and die when refining the soul of a demon beast. From the looks of it, the True Spirit Divine Control Technique is still the strongest!!

Absorbing the soul of a demon beast was the most crucial step for a divine pattern, and it was also the most dangerous step. Most of the time, the resentment of the demon beast’s soul would remain in the soul. The more demon beasts it absorbed, the higher the probability of Qi Deviation.

However, the True Spirit Divine Control Technique had completely eliminated the hidden danger of the beast soul warrior. The moment the demon beast soul was refined, it would purify all the negative emotions. In this way, as long as he passed the first round, the rest would become easier and simpler.

After completely refining the soul, the Buddha Avatar took out the Triple

Viper’s demon core and placed it in his palm. He immediately activated the Triple Viper’s soul in the divine pattern to begin refining the demonic power inside.

The entire process lasted for three days and three nights!

The demonic power in the Triple Viper’s demon core kept attacking the body of the Buddha Avatar. However, with the Indestructible Vajra Divine Technique, the Lightning Flood Dragon Totem, and the White Tiger Totem strengthening the body, this bit of demonic power was completely bearable.

“This Triple Viper’s actual combat strength is only at the level of an ordinary Six Fiend Realm cultivator without considering its poison, even weaker than that of Huo Longteng. From the looks of it, even if I obtain the Blood Mosquito’s inner core and soul, it won’t be easy to refine it.”

Han Zhao thought to himself.

Another three days passed.

Rumble!

A 30-meter-long seven-colored python roared at the sky. As it moved, rumbling sounds came from the empty deep sea cave abode,

[Third Divine Pattern: Triple Viper Totem; Poison Inner Core

(22,000/30,000); Totem Special Effect: Corrosive Poison]

“The True Spirit Body Tempering Technique is indeed abnormal!” Han Zhao’s eyes lit up. The strength of this totem was similar to the Triple Viper from before. Moreover, he could increase its strength by refining the inner core and soul of demon beasts of the same attribute. It was only a matter of time before it advanced to the Perfected Seven Fiend.

From the looks of it, if he could refine that Pseudo Divine Power Blood

Mosquito, he might even have a chance of increasing its strength to the Divine Power Realm..
