Cultivation knows no time; ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Nuwa Temple.
With the bloodline of Nuwa and the selfless nurturing of Fang Xiu, Fang Yao spent ten years finally cultivating a divine body.
While the divine body granted her immense power, it did not increase her height. This was likely because she was imprisoned for ten years during her developmental period, losing a significant amount of life force. Although she eventually recovered, her height was already fixed.
Fang Yao is no longer skin and bones, but she is still small. Her cascading silver hair falls to her slender waist. She is less than 1.6 meters tall, and perhaps she can barely reach 1.6 meters with high heels. Except for her eyes, everything on her body is small, making her look like a cute little animal.
However, this small body contains unimaginable terrifying power; it would be no problem to smash a ten-thousand-foot-high mountain with a single punch.
During these ten years, even Xu Ruohai cultivated a divine body, which of course was inseparable from Fang Xiu's guidance.
Fang Xiu and his clones devoured the strange beings day after day, accumulating immeasurable life force. After using this life force to advance his physique to the level of a god, his physical body hit a bottleneck. To avoid wasting it, he distributed the excess life force to Xu Ruohai, helping him also advance to the level of a god.
The concept of a divine body is just intimidating; in reality, it is utterly insignificant in the face of a true god and only holds an advantage among demigods.
Besides his physical strength, Fang Xiu's own laws and regulations have also reached a bottleneck. It's not that he can't condense the laws and regulations, but that the laws and regulations within his body have begun to become unbalanced, which has prevented him from breaking through to the Immortal Venerable realm.
To become an Immortal Venerable, one must gather all thirty-six laws and regulations, and connect them to form a perfect system of laws and regulations, rather than having all the laws and regulations fight independently.
What Fangxiu lacks now is not laws and regulations, but a perfect system.
Just as his body inevitably became gluttonous after he condensed a large number of Taotie laws, in order to make the laws systematic, there cannot be too many single laws; a balance must be maintained.
The problem he faces is that there are too many laws governing demons and too few laws governing gods.
Through ten years of uninterrupted cultivation, he now possesses two Time Laws, two Fate Laws, eight Pain Laws, two Black Lotus Laws, six Gluttony Laws, two Nightmare Laws, one Life Law, and two Poison Laws, for a total of twenty-five Laws.
Nightmare has great potential, so he did not completely abandon it. Instead, he extensively arranged dreams throughout the entire Taotie Divine Kingdom, eventually obtaining two Nightmare Decrees.
And the Nightmare Law did not disappoint him. The combination of the Nightmare Law and the Life Law even had a faint sense of creation. The Nightmare weaves illusory dreams, while the Life Law infuses them with life, making the dreams real. Although it cannot create humans like Nuwa, it can still create some simple things out of thin air.
Among these laws, there are four special laws: Time and Fate, and eight laws unique to oneself—the Law of Suffering.
Special laws do not conflict with any laws, and the law of suffering does not belong to gods or demons, but only to itself, so it can be considered neutral.
In other words, there are twelve neutral laws within him.
There is only one law of life belonging to the immortals and gods, while there are as many as twelve laws belonging to the demon gods, which is seriously unbalanced. This forces him to mobilize neutral laws to suppress the laws of the demon gods, which also results in his inability to fully exert his strength.
In fact, anyone else with so many conflicting laws would have already gone mad. It's only because Fang Xiu's mind is special and his resistance is very high that he won't go mad. But this also limits his breakthrough and prevents him from becoming a Celestial Venerable.
His plan was to have Fang Yao infuse him with Nuwa's divine power after she took control of the goddess's divine essence, and then condense eleven life laws to achieve the final balance.
The solution to the laws and regulations was the optimal one he had derived from ten years of research and experimentation through death rollbacks, which could maximize his own strength!
Of all the laws, he favored the Law of Pain the most. Even though the Law of Pain was weak compared to other special laws and the laws of God, only the Law of Pain was completely unique to him.
The fact that his wife can ignore death and time travel means that the power of time is ineffective against her. At the same time, she can also ignore the attacks of demons and immortals, which means that gods and demons are also ineffective against her. Therefore, the only thing Fang Xiu can place his hope on is his own law of pain, which is also the foundation of his ability!
This is why he condensed so many painful laws.
What is the essence of suffering?
It is harm! Only with harm can there be pain, and all kinds of harm bring different kinds of pain.
On a grand scale, birth, aging, illness, and death all bring suffering to people. On a smaller scale, even constipation can cause suffering. That is the harm that constipation does to you. By controlling the extreme of suffering, you will possess the extreme of harm!
"Lord Fang Xiu, can we leave the Taotie Divine Kingdom now?" Xu Ruohai asked with a hint of excitement.
"Hmm." Fang Xiu nodded, then looked at Fang Yao: "Let's fuse with Nuwa's divine essence."
"Mm." Fang Yao nodded, flipped her fair hand, and the Divine Token appeared in her hand. She slowly approached the statue of Nuwa.
Soon, the statue burst forth with billions of multicolored rays of light, shaking the heavens and earth and causing the void to tremble. Under this miraculous change, the statue of Nuwa seemed to come alive, and a terrifying pressure swept across the heavens and earth.
As expected, a five-colored, rhomboid divine core slowly emerged from the Nuwa statue and flew towards Fang Yao.
Fang Yao stretched out her fair and delicate hand and caught the divine spark.
Then, an astonishing scene unfolded.
Nuwa's divine essence slowly merged into Fang Yao's body, and five-colored light burst forth from Fang Yao's petite body. Her figure flew uncontrollably into the air, and she was completely enveloped in the five-colored glow.
At the same time, an invisible and obscure fluctuation spread like ripples across the Nuwa Temple.
Xu Ruohai was instantly horrified, feeling a strange palpitation, as if some terrifying being had awakened in ancient times. The mere signs of its awakening were enough to make one's heart tremble.
boom!
The Devouring Law that enveloped the Taotie Divine Kingdom trembled violently, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and the chaotic power of the law boiled over.
Amidst this terrifying transformation, a stunningly beautiful figure slowly emerged from the multicolored glow.
She had a graceful and slender figure, waterfall-like silver hair, snow-white skin, and an impressive chest, but instead of the slender and straight long legs one might imagine, she had a colorful snake tail.
