“Indeed.” Fang Xiu nodded in agreement. He also found the former Yun Tianshen somewhat disgusting. He was clearly the greatest villain in the Nine Provinces, yet he always pretended to be humble and refined. Now that his true nature has been exposed, he is actually more pleasing to the eye.
The dramatic change in Yun Tianshen's temperament reveals that the transformation of immortals and gods into monstrous beings is similar to the transformation of humans into monsters. Irreversible changes occur in their minds, which are gradually eroded by negative emotions, ultimately reducing them to mere monsters driven by instinct.
He had had close contact with the Gluttonous Angel and other strange gods, and he knew very well that although the Gluttonous Angel and other gods seemed unable to communicate, this was not actually the case.
They are not without wisdom, but they usually act entirely on instinct. For them, wisdom is something dispensable, and they have little desire for communication. Following their instincts is their guiding principle.
The state of the elusive god is like a thirsty man who goes to a hotel with a beautiful woman. Do you think it has wisdom? Of course it does, but in this state, it basically doesn't use its wisdom much. Can it communicate? Of course it can, but driven by instinct, no one would choose to chat. In fact, chatting would make it impatient and extremely irritable.
I believe it won't be long before Yun Tianshen also becomes like this.
"Enough with the nonsense! Since you dared to come to the other side, you are doomed to die today!" Yun Tianshen's three eyes emitted a strange blood-red light as he stared intently at Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu naturally didn't disappoint him, and immediately unleashed his ultimate move.
Whoosh—!
The sound of rushing waves echoed in the void, and a vast river, existing between the illusory and the real, surged forth.
It is the long river of fate!
That's right, Fang Xiu planned to use the same methods he used against immortals and gods to deal with Yun Tianshen. With the help of the power of the River of Destiny, even the gods wouldn't dare to easily provoke him.
However, before he could even deduce his future, Yun Tianshen laughed silently.
“Zhou Qingfeng, do you think I don’t know what you’ve done in Kyushu? Although I couldn’t take Yunzhou with me, I’ve managed it for many years and naturally left some hidden connections. The scene of you summoning the River of Destiny back then couldn’t be hidden at all.”
After speaking, Yun Tianshen's figure slowly faded and eventually disappeared completely.
It turns out that this was just a projection; the true form of the Cloud God was not present.
Fang Xiu frowned slightly. He knew he was in trouble. While the power of the River of Destiny was indeed strong, it had a fatal flaw: if the enemy didn't fall for it, it would be a complete charade for the blind.
The next moment, the maniacal laughter of the Cloud God echoed from the gray sky above the other side: "Hahaha... Zhou Qingfeng, prepare to die! Lei Yuntian!"
Boom—!
A vast and mighty force of thunder filled the sky, exuding a forbidden and ominous aura of terror.
The next second, boom!
The heavens and earth trembled violently, and a crimson lightning bolt fell like a bursting dam of a galaxy, piercing through the void and illuminating the other side.
Although the strange creatures within a radius of ten thousand miles were not struck by the lightning, the immense pressure crushed them inch by inch the moment the crimson divine lightning struck.
Faced with such terrifying lightning, Fang Xiu naturally opened it again without a doubt.
A barrage of lightning struck him, but missed its target.
Yun Tianshen was not surprised by this. Instead, he looked down at Fang Xiu from the sky with great interest: "The Dao of Nothingness is indeed mysterious and unpredictable, but as long as I keep sending down lightning, how will you deal with it?"
Boom boom boom!
Terrifying crimson lightning continued to descend, relentlessly attacking Fang Xiu. The ground beneath his feet had already shattered into pieces, revealing bottomless cracks.
Meanwhile, his fellow sufferer Zhou Qingfeng was also struck by lightning.
However, one of them was struck by a deity, and the other was struck by a demon.
The two men's methods of dealing with the lightning were also completely different. Fang Xiu relied on etherealization to ignore the lightning, while Zhou Qingfeng relied on fate transformation to constantly transform with the surrounding objects in order to avoid the lightning.
The only thing the two had in common was that they were both in dire straits, and once their strength was exhausted, they would be at the mercy of others.
Zhou Qingfeng was the first to escape the predicament.
Faced with the pursuit of the immortals and gods, he knew he was no match for them, and his only option was to flee.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and then he abruptly unleashed the power of destiny: "Fate's Decree!"
Whoosh—!
A vast and mighty river of fate appeared, completely engulfing him.
Then, the River of Fate slowly disappeared, along with Zhou Qingfeng.
That's right, this is his method: to sink into the long river of fate, in the forbidden zone of destiny, where even immortals and gods are powerless.
And so, poor Zhou Qingfeng, after only a few days out, was beaten several times and then went back.
However, given his previous escape experience and the fact that Kyushu is full of anchor points, it won't be too difficult for him to return.
Above the vast sky of the Nine Provinces, several figures radiating divine light silently watched Zhou Qingfeng's departing figure, a hint of doubt appearing in their eyes.
"Is he really Zhou Qingfeng? Why did he use the Dao of Destiny instead of the Dao of Nothingness this time?"
"It should be him, otherwise who else could summon the River of Fate so easily?"
On the other hand, Fang Xiu had no means to succumb to fate and could only rely on his wife's ethereal transformation. However, as time went by, the spirituality within him diminished.
He was hunted by immortals and gods in the Nine Provinces and by demons and gods on the other side of the world. He could not replicate his experience of escaping from the hands of immortals and gods because he had nowhere to go.
He has offended the two most powerful forces in this world. Even if he escapes back to the Nine Provinces in his ethereal form, he will still fall into the hands of the immortals and gods.
The only solution now is to reopen.
Fang Xiu then dispelled his ethereal form and faced the crimson divine lightning head-on. With an additional trump card, he also successfully died.
........
........
Seven days ago.
A strange creature, short in stature, with withered limbs and a round, bulging belly, carrying a large bunch of spider lilies, hopped and skipped towards Fang Xiu.
"My lord, my lord! This old servant has found many more spider lilies." The eerie face wore a fawning smile as it carefully placed the spider lilies in front of Fang Xiu.
It was the Kunlun maggot.
During this period, the Kunlun maggot was living a carefree life. It finally had the body it had always dreamed of and could lead a large group of strange underlings to pick flowers everywhere. It could be said to be the second happiest time of its life.
As for the happiest time, it was back in the Void Moon Palace when he possessed the body of that petite and lovely female disciple. Compared to the withered, ugly, and strange body, the Kunlun Maggot preferred that tender and smooth body.
Just as the Kunlun maggot was about to leave to continue picking flowers, Fang Xiu suddenly called out to it.
"Kunlun maggots".
"This old servant is here!"
"I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to come up with a way to kill the demon god."
Kunlun Maggot: "......."
