Whoosh!
"He is certain to die."
Fang Xiu glanced at him indifferently and said calmly, "Since you know I can't use any power, why did you still try to teleport?"
Xu Ruohai said nonchalantly, "Facing a true god, one can never be too cautious. The world is vast, and even though I am a demigod, there are countless methods I haven't seen. Who knows, you might still have some trump card up your sleeve that could turn the tide? Now that the divine spark is right before my eyes, I certainly don't want to..."
Whoosh!
"Extreme joy begets sorrow."
"And don't even think about taking me down with you. Although it's unlikely in theory, I won't gamble with it. Rest assured, even after you die, I will not approach your corpse. Instead, I will stay here for three days, and after three days..."
Whoosh!
"I will send an avatar to retrieve the divine essence."
Fang Xiu: "......."
After hearing this explanation, he suddenly understood why the other party could become a demigod. They were excessively cautious, and with such a cautious personality, it was really difficult for them to perish halfway.
"Hahaha... Your Excellency, are you feeling hopeless? I have already seen through your thoughts. In this world, I am the one who schemes against others, and no one else can scheme against me!"
Xu Ruohai was in a very good mood. He believed that he had seen through the true god's trick and had not given the other party a chance to perish together. Hunting a true god in this way gave him great satisfaction.
Fang Xiu watched quietly as he battled wits with the air, finally dying slowly.
......
......
"The true god's power is unparalleled, leaving us in awe."
"Today I have witnessed the true god's intervention, and I am truly astonished and deeply impressed. These petty villains dare to offend the true god and should have their lineage destroyed. I am unworthy, but I am willing to share the burden for the true god."
The familiar scene played out once again: Fang Xiu stood beside the nine skeletons of Immortal Emperors, while Yun Qingwu and the others frantically fawned over him.
However, this time he ignored them and said calmly, "Come out."
Snap snap snap...
A loud round of applause rang out.
Everyone was instantly shocked and quickly looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a man in a blue robe slowly walk out of the void, with a smile on his face and an elegant demeanor. It was none other than the demigod Xu Ruohai.
Xu Ruohai looked at Fang Xiu with admiration, but there was a deep-seated look of shock in his eyes. "As expected of a true god, even in such a weak state, you can still easily detect me. You are truly admirable."
"Who are you? How dare you spy on the true god!" Zhao Wuji jumped out again.
Some people are destined to die, and even if they start over time, it will still be the same.
Xu Ruohai glanced at him indifferently, "Didn't you see I was speaking to a true god? Who do you think you are to dare interrupt? You deserve to die!"
The next moment, before anyone could react, Xu Ruohai's robes billowed, and he suddenly waved his sleeve. In an instant, a magnificent, burning celestial light roared out, like a blazing sun, shining brightly for thousands of feet, with endless celestial radiance so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.
When the light faded, Zhao Wuji, who had been standing still, was stiff all over, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was completely lifeless. Even his eyes had turned grayish-white, as if all the life force in his body had been burned away in an instant.
Bang!
Zhao Wuji's body fell to the ground, dying once more.
"Alright, the impolite person is dead. I presume that the rest of you are very polite and will not disturb my conversation with the true god."
Your Excellency, may I introduce myself? I am…
“Xu Ruohai, is that right?” Fang Xiu said calmly.
Xu Ruohai paused for a moment, his refined smile faltering almost imperceptibly, and the shock deep in his eyes intensified. However, he still pretended to be calm and smiled, "Your Excellency, the True God, actually knows me? I am truly honored."
“Since I came out of the Moon Goddess Ruins, you have been spying on me. It would be difficult for me not to recognize you.”
Now, Xu Ruohai could no longer maintain his smile. His heart was already in turmoil. It turned out that the true god had noticed him from the very beginning. Oh no, could the true god not be as weak as he had imagined?
His expression darkened for a moment: "I didn't expect that nothing could be hidden from the True God. Since you knew that I had been secretly watching, it seems that everything you've done all this time has been an act for me?"
"Who do you think you are, to think you're worthy of my acting? And let me give you a heads-up, you should teleport."
"What!?"
Whoosh!
Like a startled bird, Xu Ruohai instantly ran a hundred feet away. The shock in his heart was beyond measure. How could the other party know that he was about to teleport?!
"you......."
He had just uttered a single word when he suddenly stopped, his expression changing drastically. He sensed his lifespan burning at a visible rate. Although demigods have extremely long lifespans, they cannot withstand such rapid depletion.
Swish, swish, swish!
Xu Ruohai transformed into a series of afterimages, frantically teleporting around without even daring to stop.
His horrified voice came intermittently.
"This is impossible! Doesn't your power of time require a certain amount of time to activate? I just stopped in place and haven't even had a breath yet. What's going on? You even said you weren't acting before!"
He teleported at least a hundred different locations to finish speaking that short sentence.
He thought a lot in the time it took to say that one sentence. He had fallen into a trap. The true god's manipulation of time had no delay. Otherwise, why would he have fallen into the trap as soon as he landed?
He must have been acting all along, deliberately putting on a show for himself, damn it! No wonder he's a true god, his scheming is even deeper than mine.
I was careless. I was blinded by the divine power. How could I be so careless? In just a short while, I lost at least a hundred years of my lifespan. Damn it!
However, things weren't too bad. They weren't stripped of their ten thousand years of lifespan in an instant, which means that the limit of a true god is only about a hundred years in an instant. Even if they are locked by the power of time, as long as they don't stay in one place, a mere hundred years of lifespan is not a big problem. In any case, after obtaining the divine status and becoming a god, their lifespan is endless.
Moreover, once the Ten Deadly Poisons envelop this area, even a true god would be powerless to reverse the situation.
Xu Ruohai was quite confident in dealing with the Ten Deadly Poisons. They were colorless, odorless, formless, and intangible, making them difficult for even a god to detect, let alone a god whose cultivation had regressed.
In fact, the reason why Xu Ruohai was hit as soon as he landed was not because Fang Xiu's power of time could be used instantly, but because Fang Xiu already knew the location of his teleportation and had arranged his power of time in advance to wait for him to teleport there.
The power of time is supreme; even though Xu Ruohai is a demigod, he cannot detect the movement of the power of time.
