Thirty-six, seventy-two, one hundred and eight!
Fang Xiu's body formed a total of 108 dark red veins. When the 108th vein was formed, thud thud thud!
An unimaginable, terrifying tremor erupted from his body, like the heart of some ancient beast beating. One hundred and eight dark red veins intertwined, following some mysterious trajectory, suppressing all the strange power that had been plundered into his body.
But just then, snap!
A slight cracking sound rang out, like an iron chain breaking due to excessive tension. Soon after, the cracking sound became more and more frequent, and it could be seen that the dark red veins on Fang Xiu's body were constantly collapsing.
He frowned slightly. Had he failed after all? The Prison-Suppressing Divine Body he had created was not enough to suppress such a vast and strange power.
Just as more and more of the dark red veins were breaking, suddenly, a soft, five-colored divine light rose from his body, flowing across his skin like water. Wherever it passed, it was as if withered trees had come back to life, full of vitality!
The originally broken dark red veins gradually recovered under the nourishment of the five-colored divine light. The five-colored divine light continuously permeated the inside, and the essence of the dark red veins seemed to be quietly changing, becoming more resilient.
If the iron chain was originally an inanimate object, it is now more like an iron chain that has been given life. It has the hardness of an iron chain, while also possessing the softness of a living organism and the vitality of self-repair, just as if it were alive.
"This is... the power of Nuwa's divine essence?" Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly: "No, that's not right."
He carefully sensed the power contained within, but found that it was not the power of a god. After all, he had used the Nuwa godhood before, so he could naturally distinguish it.
"This is the profound truth of creation!"
It is a profound mystery that transcends even the laws of the gods!
Even the mighty Jade Emperor, who created the Nine Dragons Supreme and controlled all laws in the world, still lacked the profound meaning of laws. This shows that the profound meaning of laws is the supreme power at the level of ancient gods!
This is also the essential difference between the ancient gods and other deities.
"So this is Nuwa's last gift?" Fang Xiu's eyes were filled with five colors, and a powerful vitality burst forth in his body. The cracked dark red veins were completely healed. Under the dual tempering of the Mystery of Creation and the strange power, his body became more and more powerful and tough. His skin, bones, and flesh were no longer flawed and were perfectly formed.
The Prison-Suppressing Divine Body is complete!
Subsequently, the Creation Profound Truth was successfully completed and withdrew, all the five-colored divine light receding and flowing back into Fang Xiu's body like water.
Fang Xiu immersed his consciousness within his body, gazing at the place where the Mystery of Creation had disappeared. He discovered that it ultimately surrounded the Law of the True Self, as if draping the Law of the True Self in a colorful veil.
Just as he was trying to explore the mysteries of creation, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the divine light that filled half the world was weakening, while the churning gray mist in the other side was beginning to spread toward Kunlun Mountain.
"My soldiers, behind you lies the ancestral land of the human realm. I hereby command you to defend Kunlun to the death and never allow demonic energy to invade the human realm!"
The Jade Emperor's heavy voice revealed a hint of exhaustion, clearly indicating that the long and intense battle had left him mentally and physically exhausted.
On the other side, the momentum was overwhelming. After three days of fighting, the strange occurrences showed no signs of decreasing; on the contrary, they were increasing.
A new round of great battles continued to erupt. Fang Xiu observed the battle between the immortals and the demons and discovered a fatal problem: the demons had the protection of the Other Shore, which allowed them to recover from any injury. Even if their origin was scattered, they could be resurrected through the Other Shore, making them practically a perpetual motion machine.
The gods and immortals, however, are different. Although their fighting power is stronger than that of these Western gods who have fallen to the other side, they cannot regenerate indefinitely.
Admittedly, gods are very difficult to kill. Even if their physical bodies are destroyed tens of thousands of times, they can still be resurrected as long as their essence is not damaged.
The problem is that in this life-or-death struggle of equal strength, the demon god side, relying on its ability to resurrect infinitely, is completely fearless of death, using its own essence to obliterate the essence of the immortals and gods, which is a completely suicidal fighting style.
At first, the powerful immortals and gods were able to hold their own, but as time went by, facing an immortal enemy, the scales of victory gradually tipped in their favor.
With such an obvious situation before them, anyone could see that in the end, the gods and immortals would surely lose this protracted war.
Since the demons have such a great advantage, how have the gods and immortals managed to hold out for so many years?
Fang Xiu thought of Nuwa.
He learned in his later life that it was precisely because of Nuwa's existence that both sides were able to start from the same point and be able to be resurrected indefinitely.
Therefore, without Nuwa's existence, the gods and immortals could no longer withstand the all-out attack from the other side.
"You stubborn Eastern gods, just watch! From this day forward, the entire world will belong to the Other Shore!" The majestic figure, bathed in holy light, coldly surveyed the exhausted Eastern gods.
Behind him, tens of thousands of angels shouted in unison, "Praise God!!"
The Eastern gods did not respond; their exhausted bodies concealed a silent fighting spirit.
At this moment, only war is possible!
This battle was so fierce that the sky darkened, the sun and moon lost their light, and the mountains and rivers were overturned.
Ten days later.
Corpses littered the Kunlun Mountains, countless immortals and gods had fallen, their broken corpses crashing to the ground.
Only a handful of immortals and gods, including the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, Sun Wukong, and Erlang Shen, remained standing.
On the other side, the eerie landscape remained as far as the eye could see. Of the tens of thousands of angels, less than a thousand remained. Yet, God, bathed in holy light, merely waved his hand, and the endless holy light fell upon the eerie creatures on the ground. Instantly, countless creatures exploded, their scattered flesh writhing and intertwining, transforming into blood-red cocoons.
Before long, the army of angels emerged from the cocoon.
Nearly a hundred demons remained by God's side, and they were still unharmed; to be precise, their injuries had long since healed.
Those demon gods who died had their origins scattered, but unlike the immortal gods who died, they did not truly die.
Deep in the other shore, there are many large cocoons shrouded in gray mist, from which come earth-shattering heartbeats, as the demon god whose origins were previously scattered is being reborn.
God and the other demons watched the disheveled dozen or so Eastern deities with amusement, not in a hurry to attack.
What they need to do now is to take it slow, delay little by little, wait for the other demons to be resurrected, and use a war of attrition to gradually wear down the power of the Eastern God, eventually grinding him to death.
Just like they did before.
"Fang Xiu, what will be the outcome of this battle in the future?" The Jade Emperor's heavy voice was full of exhaustion.
Sun Wukong and the others also looked ashen-faced. In fact, there was no need to ask this question, because the corpses scattered all over Kunlun Mountain had already said it all.
