The moment the Golden Totem came into play, a surge of power swept through the body. The dozens of totems accumulated over the decades by the two Great Wizards were all sucked in, merging into a more formidable energy. It wasn't just the totems on their bodies that were absorbed; even the totems on the bodies of the numerous disciples they brought were sucked in from afar. Their life force and strength were completely drained!
At this moment, several kilometers away, dozens of wizards, divided into two groups, lay convulsing on the ground, gasping for breath. A strange golden rune appeared on each of them. This rune resembled a mouth, or a vortex, ceaselessly devouring all the totems.
Clearly, these wizards had unwittingly had something planted in them by their teachers, to be used as important nourishment at a critical moment.
