After the shock came joy.
"That's great! Does that mean there's hope for the world?" Luo Qingxin exclaimed with delight.
"As expected of a prophet, even in the Nine Provinces where powerful figures abound, he still shines brightly, unlike us, who ultimately dragged the team down." Xiong Tianguang said with a face full of emotion.
He was once one of the top experts in the world, and his realm was even higher than Fang Xiu's. But now, he is not even cannon fodder. Only he himself can understand the complex feelings he has.
"Why say such useless things? We're all on the same side, so cheer up!" the fat man comforted.
“You’re right. We’ve wasted too much time. The current crisis hasn’t been resolved yet, so there’s no time for sentimentality.”
At this moment, Yang Ming suddenly asked, "Brother Xiu, what should we do next?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Xiu, just as they had been at headquarters, waiting for him to give orders.
“Cultivation,” Fang Xiu said calmly. “The root of everything is insufficient strength. Although time is tight now, I can change the flow of time and extend the remaining forty years. I will not have to worry about not having time to cultivate.”
Everyone was overjoyed; what they lacked now was time.
"Okay, Brother Xiu, we'll do whatever you say."
Finally, after a brief reminiscing, everyone entered the time acceleration room prepared by Fang Xiu.
He altered the flow of time in a side hall of the Moon Goddess Temple, giving everyone enough time to improve their strength.
The flow of time inside is twenty times that of the outside world. In other words, if you cultivate inside for twenty years, only one year will have passed outside.
Not only that, he also placed the Enlightenment Stone inside to enhance everyone's comprehension and improve cultivation efficiency. Previously, Bai Qi and others were stuck at the peak of the sixth rank, not because they lacked resources, but because they lacked the opportunity to comprehend the laws.
Now that there is ample time, and with the Enlightenment Stone, comprehending the laws is inevitable.
The same applies to Yang Ming and others who broke through to demigod status. With the help of the Enlightenment Stone, the difficulty of comprehending the divine laws was also reduced.
Fang Yao and Xu Ruohai also stayed, but Zhou Qingfeng was the only one who did not.
He disappeared again, as mysteriously as ever.
As for Fang Xiu himself, he did not continue his cultivation, but instead began to remove his tattoos.
For him, the most urgent task is to remove his wife's tattoo.
......
......
A quiet room.
The two Fang Xiu were in a quiet room.
Fang Xiu's body rested on the futon, his upper body bare, revealing his strong, well-defined upper body. On his back was a lifelike tattoo of a beautiful woman, smiling radiantly and flawlessly—his wife!
The clone stood behind Fang Xiu, holding a gleaming silver dagger, and calmly made a light slash.
Whoosh!
A line of blood appeared on Fang Xiu's back. The clone followed the line of blood and inserted its fingers into the flesh, tearing it apart as if it were tearing a couplet.
Instantly, the skin on his wife's back, which was tattooed with her name, was torn off, revealing bloody flesh and bone.
Then, a beam of light flashed behind Fang Xiu, and his injuries were instantly healed.
Strangely, his wife's tattoo was still on the newly grown skin, and she was smiling, as if mocking Fang Xiu's overestimation of his abilities.
Fang Xiu dispersed his clones, calmly got up, and put on his shirt.
What just happened was within his expectations. He figured his wife wouldn't be driven away so easily, and now it turned out to be true.
So he began to use the laws within his body, whether it was the laws of pain, gluttony, heavenly tribulation, chaos, etc., he tried them all on his wife's tattoo, but none of them worked.
When the Chaos Decree was used, his wife's tattoo seemed to have a slight reaction, but there was only one Chaos Decree, which was not enough to shake it.
"It seems that with my current strength, I can't remove my wife's tattoo at all. I can only wait until I break through to demigod level before making any plans." Fang Xiu muttered to himself in the quiet room.
"Since the tattoo can't be fixed, the most urgent thing to do is to deal with another matter. After being hit by the Chaos Divine Lightning, it shouldn't be fully recovered in a short time. Now is the perfect opportunity."
That's right, Fang Xiu plans to take advantage of Taotie's illness to kill Taotie!
The power of the Chaos Divine Thunder was enough to kill a god. If it weren't for the Taotie's thick skin and tough flesh, making it known as the most difficult demon god to kill, it would probably have died long ago.
Even if Taotie hadn't died, it would certainly be in its weakest state ever.
His goal wasn't to use this opportunity to kill Taotie; even the full version of Chaos God Thunder couldn't kill Taotie, and he didn't think he could.
His real goal was to take advantage of Taotie's weakness and completely control it, making Taotie his clone!
........
........
Several days later, Fang Xiu arrived at the area where the Taotie frequently appeared.
Before he could get close, he heard the sound of a baby crying from thousands of miles away.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
The crying was deafening, as if a baby weighing tens of thousands of tons was screaming at the top of its lungs.
With each cry, the heavens and earth visibly trembled.
"Still crying?" Fang Xiu frowned slightly. He hadn't expected the Chaos Divine Lightning to be so terrifying, causing the Taotie, which had suffered most of the damage, to cry for several days.
He approached silently and saw from afar a small mountain of flesh, a hundred meters tall, groaning and ravenously devouring itself in the hazy mist.
Two rotten little fat hands waved wildly, grabbing snakes and insects from all around and stuffing them into their mouths.
The once towering Taotie, which stood tall and reached into the clouds, has now shrunk by more than a hundred times.
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he quietly released a clone, which transformed into a strange snake-like creature and flew towards Taotie.
His transformation skills are now highly refined, thanks not only to the Nightmare Laws but also to the guidance of Xu Ruohai.
Xu Ruohai's greatest skills were never combat, but rather poisoning, creating clones, shapeshifting, and escaping...
The gluttonous beast, consumed by grief, was completely unaware of its bizarre serpentine clone. Or perhaps, even if it had noticed, it hadn't paid it any mind, for in its eyes, everything was divided into two categories: edible and temporarily unattainable.
Awoo!
The Taotie swallowed Fang Xiu's clone whole.
This clone was infused with powerful energy by the original body and possessed the divine power of Nuwa, so there was no need to worry about it being directly digested.
Once the clone entered the Taotie's body, it immediately began to create clones again...
They used the strange power of the gluttonous beast to devour themselves, growing rapidly and creating clones.
