"The power of the angel's son?" Fang Xiu murmured to himself. This was the most realistic guess he could come up with. After all, the Taotie's Mouth was a divine skill he had learned from the Taotie. Although it was not as good as the real Taotie's Mouth, it still carried a trace of the divine status of a strange god.
The fact that the Taotie's Maw, with its high rank, has become ineffective clearly indicates that another being of the same rank has intervened. Currently, within this spatial node, only the Son of the Angel possesses such a rank.
Rumbling...
That was the sound of ten thousand horses galloping; tens of thousands of paladins were rushing here.
Fang Xiu frowned. If he couldn't absorb spiritual energy, continuing to attack this group of small fry would be a waste of his spiritual energy. With this thought in mind, he immediately flashed away from the spatial node and returned to the outside world.
"Brother Xiu! How did you get out so quickly? Did you solve it?" Yang Ming asked in surprise.
Fang Xiu did not explain, but instead ordered, "Everyone, follow me into the spatial node. This place is left to Taotie."
As he spoke, he also absorbed the spiritual energy of several members of the Celestial Team, restoring himself to his peak condition.
The accumulation of spirituality has never been a problem for him. Once he breaks through the social class, he can rely on the Taotie's mouth to quickly accumulate spirituality.
For more than a month after returning to the real world, he spent most of his time at the spatial node, raising Taotie while also using the supernatural to enhance his spirituality.
At this moment, his spirituality had already reached 80%, and he was only one step away from breaking through to the fifth rank. It seemed like only one step away, but in reality, it was an insurmountable chasm. He could not rely on devouring ordinary monsters or low-level spirit masters to break through. Instead, he needed a high-quality existence.
Fang Xiu's spirituality is unique. It has been corrupted by numerous strange beings, strange gods, and even his wife, making it of extremely high quality. This makes it very difficult for him to break through. Even if he devours a fifth-level spirit master or an S-level strange being, it is still difficult for him to break through that barrier.
Furthermore, it would be difficult for him to experience life-or-death crises and break through to the fifth rank like an ordinary fourth-tier spirit master, because life and death are no longer exciting for him, he has become accustomed to them, and it is difficult for them to cause any emotional fluctuations.
Therefore, there are only three ways for him to break through: one is to accumulate and absorb enough spiritual energy, so that quantitative change leads to qualitative change. This method is called the slow and steady process.
Secondly, it can devour sixth-tier spirit masters or sixth-tier strange beings to break through its own bottleneck with high-quality spiritual energy.
The third method relies on the all-purpose tool Xiao Chuxia. However, Fang Xiu does not intend to use this method. The power of lies is precious and can be considered a panacea. Using it to break through is too wasteful. He will only choose this method if other methods fail. Otherwise, it can only be used as a backup.
The power of lies seems easy to reap, requiring only constant deception. Moreover, Xiao Chutian is now deceiving people every day under the guise of a prophet, making him even more successful.
However, the human mind is finite. Once a person has been harvested a large amount of the power of lies, it is difficult for them to harvest the same amount of the power of lies again in a short period of time. Therefore, the power of lies is very precious and should not be wasted unless absolutely necessary.
Upon receiving Fang Xiu's order, everyone followed him into the spatial node without hesitation.
Although they do not have the ability to become intangible, Fang Xiu can use the Heart of Forbidden Ghosts to directly open a passage more than one person tall on the seal.
The only pity is that the Taotie is too big to fit inside.
A dizzying sensation washed over me, and the space around me shifted instantly.
When everyone regained their sight, they were shocked to find themselves in a colorless world.
"Holy crap! This is the first time I've ever felt so beautiful!" Yang Ming stared in shock at his colorful hands, which seemed to glow against the backdrop of the black and white world.
"Captain, something strange is going on here. As soon as I entered, I felt as if I was being watched by some evil entity. It seems that something is observing us from the shadows." The old Taoist's expression instantly turned serious. He hadn't had such a strong reaction when he was exhausted after facing God.
“Amitabha, this humble monk also feels this way.”
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly. The perception of the two sixth-tier experts was naturally far superior to that of ordinary spirit masters. It seemed that the being they were talking about was very likely the Child of the Angel.
At this moment, Xiao Chuxia came over and said, "Brother Xiu, in this situation, I suddenly remembered a sentence."
She looked at Fang Xiu expectantly, as if waiting for him to respond.
However, Fang Xiu knew that this woman was not going to say anything good, so he ignored her completely.
Xiao Chuxia seemed to have gotten used to it, but as a qualified simp, talking to oneself was a basic skill.
She parted her red lips slightly and said playfully, "Even if the world is black and white, you will always be colorful in my heart."
"Ugh! Big Blackie, can you stop reading romance novels? We're clearly in color, you know!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Xiao Chuxia said angrily, "I'll burn all your cigarettes."
Xiao Chuxia muttered something under her breath, and the next moment Yang Ming felt a sudden heat in his pocket, and a spark appeared: "Holy crap! Come at me if you dare! Don't touch my cigarette!"
The old Taoist priest sighed as he watched the two bickering. He realized that these people had long lost their most basic sense of awe under Fang Xiu's influence. The arrival of a child of a strange god could very well lead to the destruction of the world if not handled properly.
Even he, a sixth-level being, felt immense pressure, feeling uneasy being watched by the hidden presence. Yet these people were always so relaxed and carefree, even having the mood to joke around.
They've completely lost the capacity for normal human thought. What kind of spirit master would have time to spout cheesy pickup lines in such a bizarre situation?
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
"Captain, after some analysis by Master Rong, I feel that this crisis is probably different from the usual ones."
“Amitabha, Captain, I must also do some deduction. Indeed, as soon as I entered this place, I felt a strong sense of crisis, which is only weaker than the last time you wanted to destroy the world.”
The end of the world? Fang Xiu's heart stirred slightly. He did not think that the two were exaggerating. Even if the offspring of the Ghost God was not as good as the Ghost God, his power was probably unimaginable. At least the seventh rank, or even above the seventh rank!
A seventh-order forbidden ghost can seal all the spatial nodes in the world. If the offspring of the Ghost God is eighth-order, the level of terror would be absolutely world-destroying!
Once such beings are born, it is likely that no existing means will be able to defeat them.
Of course, you can call out His father to beat his son, but the problem is that after the beating, the world will be destroyed, and you can only revert to a previous state.
Furthermore, it's not necessarily true that a demigod angel would actually attack the son of an angel, since he is His son. This is still a question for now, but we can test it later.
"Let's deduce it," Fang Xiu said calmly.
Wuwei took out a Bagua array plate from his sleeve, while Kongjian took out a string of Buddhist beads. The two closed their eyes at the same time and began to calculate the secrets of heaven.
Just then, the sound of galloping horses rang out, and a large number of paladins arrived.
