Or rather, sealing the spatial rift is not difficult; the difficulty lies in maintaining it. Right now, he can feel his spiritual energy being rapidly depleted every moment.
All the spiritual energy consumed was used to maintain the power of the anti-evil force at the spatial rift.
Fortunately, the world is full of strange and bizarre things, which can sustain our energy expenditure.
After sealing the spatial rift, Fang Xiu returned to headquarters and made a phone call to Fatty.
"Fatty, come back."
The fat man's deep voice came from the other end of the phone, clearly indicating that he was in a very low mood. There were also screams and eerie roars all around.
"Okay, Hugh."
Just as Fang Xiu hung up the phone, a flash of white light appeared in the office, and the fat man appeared out of thin air.
The fat man no longer had his usual small face, and his body was covered in blood.
How did the recording go?
The fat man handed over the blood-stained camera: "It's all recorded."
He looked at Fang Xiu with sorrowful eyes, hesitated to speak, and clenched his fists.
"Hugh, is there really no way to save those foreigners?"
Clearly, he witnessed many human tragedies during his filming journey.
Fang Xiu replied with three words: "Cannot be saved."
For a moment, the fat man felt utterly hopeless. He was never a heartless person and could not bear to watch tens of thousands of innocent people being killed by a mysterious force. During the filming, he used his teleportation ability to save many people and bring them back to Xia Country.
Even with all his efforts, he only managed to save a few dozen people; most others could only watch helplessly as their loved ones died.
That feeling of powerlessness is truly despairing.
But reality is often so despairing; no one can save everyone.
In the end, the fat man teleported away, going to do everything he could to save more people.
Fang Xiu handed the camera to his staff, who then uploaded it to the internet in the name of headquarters.
In less than an hour, the video recorded by the fat man instantly became the number one trending topic.
The entire population of Xia was utterly shocked.
Fueled by headquarters, the video views skyrocketed at an alarming rate: ten million, fifty million, one hundred million, two hundred million...
Hundreds of millions of people saw this video, and everyone who saw it felt a deep sense of fear.
The fat guy's video was very unprofessional; he filmed here and there, and the footage was constantly shaking. From a professional point of view, it was undoubtedly garbage.
But no one who saw the video cared about the filming technique; all they saw was the scene that was nothing short of a human tragedy.
Bizarre, endless bizarre events ravage various countries, people flee in panic, blood and fire are the main colors of the video, and screams and roars are the main theme.
No matter how amazing the special effects are, they can't create that realistic feeling of limbs flying and blood splattering.
The video is not long, only 30 minutes after editing, but it is the worst edited part.
In just thirty minutes, the video showed the deaths of at least millions of people.
Many people with weak mental fortitude didn't even dare to finish watching it before running off to the side and vomiting.
The internet was no longer filled with the usual jokes and banter. Only now did people realize how cruel the apocalypse was and how close it was to them.
Some foreigners who had fled to Xia Kingdom were initially unhappy about being placed in remote mountains and forests, but after watching the video, they were all trembling with fear and felt incredibly fortunate to have come to Xia Kingdom.
Let alone deep mountains and forests, for them now, even stinking ditches and cesspools are acceptable as long as they can come to Xia Kingdom.
Panic... completely erupted within the Xia Kingdom!
Inside the headquarters, Fang Xiu could clearly feel fear surging in like a tide, and the quality of that fear was extremely high.
Nothing is more terrifying than seeing one's own kind die a horrible death before one's eyes.
He frantically absorbed the fear from all directions. The Nightmare, which had already reached the peak of S-rank, finally... reached the sixth rank at this moment!
Nightmare seemed to have undergone some kind of qualitative change, or rather, a kind of sublimation. Originally a cloud of black mist, it seemed to have the texture of a physical body, yet it also seemed to be completely illusory. These two opposing feelings were coordinated in Nightmare in an unimaginable way.
Once the nightmare reached level six, Fang Xiu could clearly sense that his dream could now encompass the entire Xia Kingdom!
He could even pull the entire Xia Kingdom into a dream, just like the eerie realm that the nightmare had unleashed in Green Vine City.
"Refine." Fang Xiu murmured, and the pitch-black fire of his mind fell upon the nightmare, easily refining it in an instant.
Because the nightmare had long been a part of him, this refinement was simply a more thorough integration.
After completing the refining process, Fang Xiu showed no joy on his face. Instead, he frowned slightly: "Still unable to break through to the sixth rank? Where exactly is the problem?"
That's right, even now, Fang Xiu is still not at the sixth rank.
He had successfully refined the forbidden demon, thinking he could advance to the sixth rank smoothly, but he found that he hadn't. Although his strength had increased dramatically, he hadn't formed a sixth-rank spirit body at all.
In other words, the seventh-order forbidden technique could not break his limit at all.
Fang Xiu collected fear this time to advance Nightmare to the sixth rank, hoping to see if he could break through to the sixth rank after refining Nightmare, but it still didn't work.
Even though he had melted away all the strangeness within him and was now flawless, he still couldn't break through to the sixth rank.
The so-called spirit body is a completely new life form that transcends the physical body. It is somewhat similar to an energy body, but also has the characteristics of flesh and blood. Once you have a spirit body, your lifespan will be greatly extended. You will not need to eat, drink, or excrete. You can survive as long as you have energy, and your body will have no weaknesses.
For a spirit, a stab to the heart is the same as a stab to the hand; there is no such thing as a fatal wound. No matter where it is injured, it will not be fatal. As long as there is enough energy, it can recover quickly and is extremely difficult to kill.
There will also be a qualitative improvement in spirituality. In the past, spirituality was stored in the mind, but at the sixth level, it is stored in the spirit body. The difference between the two is many times greater.
According to the Kunlun maggot, in ancient times, the sixth rank was considered to be among the ranks of immortals, the lowest rank of immortals, qualified to serve as heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the gates of the Heavenly Court, because they were essentially completely transcendent from mortals.
Fang Xiu had already learned everything about the sixth rank from the Kunlun Maggot, but he still didn't know where the problem lay.
It's abnormal that a seventh-order forbidden demon can't break through the limits of his body. He knows his physical body is strong, but it's nothing for a seventh-order demon. It's understandable if a sixth-order demon can't break through the limits, but it's absurd that a seventh-order demon can't break through the limits.
Ultimately, his physical essence is still human. In terms of physical attributes alone, he might be able to compete with a sixth-order spirit body, but he is definitely no match for a seventh-order one.
Why is this the case?
Fang Xiu pondered for a moment, a vague guess forming in his mind: Could it be...?
It's related to the evil spirit!
