"Kunlun Maggot, you stay on the other side and continue collecting the other shore flowers," Fang Xiu instructed.
The Kunlun maggot was overjoyed: "Ah? This is so... so sad for this old servant, my master, this old servant can't bear to part with you."
"Oh? Then you will come with me into the Taotie Divine Kingdom."
“Uh…” Kunlun Maggot was immediately anxious and hurriedly said, “My lord, although this old servant is reluctant to part with you, for your great cause, this old servant is willing to stay alone on the other shore, risking being killed by demons, to collect the flowers of the other shore for you!”
Fang Xiu glanced at it indifferently, fully aware of the Kunlun Maggot's ulterior motives, but he ignored it and walked straight towards Taotie.
As he approached within a hundred miles of the Taotie, the Taotie's frantically grabbing hands, which were wildly grasping at snakes and insects, suddenly stopped, halting its feeding actions. Its huge, rotting head turned slightly, staring straight at Fang Xiu, its decaying eyeballs filled with greed.
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly. They want to eat me? It seems that with my current strength, I am considered a delicacy in the eyes of the Taotie.
The next moment, Taotie abandoned the strange snakes and insects flying all over the sky and went straight for Fang Xiu.
The rotting giant hand blotted out the sky, riddled with holes, and countless densely packed snakes and insects grotesquely crawled in and out of its flesh.
It looked like maggots writhing in excrement.
Fang Xiu did not resist, letting Taotie grab him in its hand and throw him into its mouth.
Rotten flesh, foul odor, slippery texture...
Accompanied by a host of unsettling sensations, he successfully entered the body of the gluttonous beast. An endless power of devouring surged forth, along with countless indescribable babbling ravings.
This made Fang Xiu feel a little nostalgic, recalling the days when he had been devoured by the Taotie hundreds of times.
With his current strength, he could easily withstand the terrifying devouring force with just a little effort. However, as he continued to fall, the devouring force from all around him grew stronger, as if countless giant hands were frantically tearing at every cell.
A silver and a red light flashed in his eyes, and he saw his surroundings clearly. It was a huge and bottomless passage of flesh and blood, which should be the esophagus of the Taotie.
The esophagus was extremely deep. Even with his eyes strained, he couldn't see where the bottom of the esophagus led. The esophagus was filled with countless strange snakes and insects, which were squeezed into huge black clumps and were being digested.
The eerie outermost layer of the black mass soon turned into a puddle of pus, and the black mass continued to shrink.
He used to die as soon as he reached this position, but now he is strong enough to resist the devouring power from the esophagus.
"The Gluttonous God Kingdom should be in His stomach," Fang Xiu guessed vaguely. He did not stop his body from falling, letting it fall freely down the bottomless esophagus.
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed, and he still hasn't reached the stomach; he's still falling.
Even if you jumped off Mount Tai, you would have reached the bottom long ago in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"The Taotie's body is indeed wondrous. Although its size is enormous, the distance it travels in free fall over the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has already exceeded the Taotie's height."
Fang Xiu was not too surprised by this, after all, it was a mysterious god, an existence that stood at the pinnacle of the world.
Upon reaching this location, the number of strange snakes and insects around had decreased by more than half. If there were millions of strange snakes and insects in the esophagus before, with continuous digestion, only tens of thousands remained at this point.
However, don't forget that this is only the first batch of snakes and insects that entered the Taotie's mouth along with Fang Xiu. There are still tens of thousands of these strange creatures left, and the Taotie is eating non-stop. This means that above Fang Xiu, there are still a continuous stream of strange creatures falling.
At this moment, Fang Xiu discovered that his spirituality was rapidly draining away, or more accurately, being devoured by the Taotie. As the distance increased, the devouring power became more and more terrifying, and it could even directly plunder from his body.
Although he severely injured two immortals and gods, he ultimately did not rely on raw power. Beings of the god level are far beyond his current ability to contend with.
However, even though his spiritual energy was being rapidly depleted, Fang Xiu still did not activate the ethereal transformation, because the rate of depletion was not as fast as the ethereal transformation.
Percentage of mana cost for virtualization.
The prolonged descent gradually wore down Fang Xiu's patience.
"Ten times speed!"
He activated ten times the speed, instantly increasing his descent speed tenfold, as if he were teleporting.
With the speed boost of ten times, he finally reached the bottom of the gluttonous esophagus. At the end of the esophagus wall made of rotten flesh and blood, there was a deep darkness, without a single ray of light. Even with his Holy Eyes, he could not see through it.
There were still many remaining eerie creatures around, not yet completely digested, all of which were sucked into the darkness and disappeared without a sound.
"The divine kingdom of Taotie?" Fang Xiu's eyes were deep. Without the slightest hesitation, he plunged into the darkness.
Logically speaking, to enter a god's kingdom, one must obtain the god's consent. If the god does not open the kingdom, even a fellow god cannot enter.
But Taotie is different; His divine kingdom is always open and he devours the bizarre every moment.
......
......
As Fang Xiu entered the darkness, he immediately felt a dizzying sensation, caused by a strong sense of spatial transformation, as if he had entered another world from another.
After a long while, the darkness before his eyes dissipated, and he regained his vision. But when he saw the scene before him clearly, his brows furrowed slightly.
What came into view was a gray, desolate world, filled with endless, eerie snakes and insects.
If Fang Xiu hadn't been certain that he had arrived in the divine kingdom of Taotie, he would have even thought he was still on the other side.
The scenery in the Taotie Kingdom was exactly the same as that on the other side.
However, upon closer reflection, Fang Xiu understood. The Taotie had been devouring the other shore for countless millennia, frantically filling its divine kingdom with the gray mist and strange phenomena of the other shore. No matter what its divine kingdom originally looked like, after tens of thousands of years, it would eventually take the shape of the other shore.
Judging from Taotie's appearance, it's clear that this being is not someone who would bother to build his own divine kingdom.
The divine kingdom serves as a stomach for the gluttonous beast, a stomach that is like a bottomless pit.
"Is this considered coming from one shore to another?" Fang Xiu shook his head slightly, looking at the scene before him. He had no clue how to condense the Taotie Law.
He had thought that the Taotie's divine kingdom was the core, the place closest to the Taotie's laws, but now it seemed that it was not.
"Wait, something's not right." Fang Xiu suddenly realized something was wrong. He discovered that in just a short while, a portion of his spirituality had disappeared out of thin air. Although it was only a small part, it had indeed vanished.
