“Fellow Daoist Fang, Medusa seems to have gone mad and is completely unaware of our arrival. Why don’t we strike first?” Daoist Baiyun suggested from the side.
However, Fang Xiu refused; how could he allow anyone to ruin his ingredients?
"You can just stand by and add the seal for me."
"seal?"
Before Yang Xian and the others could react to what he meant, Fang Xiu had already taken a step forward, a crimson glint appearing in his eyes.
The next moment, dark red veins appeared beneath his fair skin, radiating an eerie scarlet light. An unimaginable, terrifying tremor burst forth from his body, like the heart of some ancient ferocious beast beating. One hundred and eight dark red veins intertwined and, following some mysterious trajectory, emerged from his body!
Click! Click!
The sound of endless chains rattling rang out, and dark red veins emerged from beneath his skin, transforming into scarlet chains that stretched infinitely before plunging into the earth.
Immediately, the ground of the entire Purgatory Demon Realm began to tremble, and long, narrow marks appeared on the ground, like countless pythons burrowing underground.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of breaking ground rang out wildly, and hundreds of millions of scarlet chains surged out from the ground like magma erupting or a volcano erupting. They were like living things, constantly spreading and piercing into the void.
In an instant, the entire Purgatory Demon Realm was transformed into a world of crimson chains. The earth was covered with them, and they crisscrossed in the void. Even the sky above had become a blood-red cage, with countless chains hanging down from the heavens. It was as if this world had been completely pierced and sealed off by crimson chains.
Yang Xian and the other two stared in shock at the scene before them. At this moment, they finally understood what Fang Xiu meant by the seal.
"Grab the chain." Fang Xiu stood with his hands at his sides, a terrifying aura rising from his body. He stepped on a scarlet chain, and without moving, the chain seemed to be tied to gears, constantly turning and pulling, slowly raising his body.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xian and the others quickly reached out and grabbed the chains in front of them. As soon as they touched them, the three of them changed color, because the scarlet chains not only emitted an extremely dense demonic energy, but also faintly emitted a terrifying devouring force, constantly consuming the power within their bodies.
Recalling Fang Xiu's words just now, should we enhance the seal?
So that's what it meant.
A bitter smile appeared on their faces. None of the three had expected that their role would be to serve as the energy source for the chains, and Fang Xiu, whose cultivation level was the lowest, would have to fight Medusa alone.
Fang Xiu stood at the point where the chains converged in the sky, casually waved his hand, and his wife's illusory image dissipated.
Medusa, who was attacking frantically, froze on the spot, as if she had lost her purpose in life, and a trace of confusion flashed in her crazed eyes.
"She...she's dead?"
A look of joy gradually spread across Medusa's face until she became delirious: "Am I the most beautiful?"
"She didn't die, she was just disgusted by your ugliness, so she went back." A calm voice rang out.
Medusa was instantly enraged. When she looked in the direction of the sound, she found that countless dense scarlet chains were running through the void around her, and she was trapped in the chains, as if she were locked in a cage.
Just then, Fang Xiu casually raised his palm, spread his five fingers, and made a grasping motion towards Medusa from a distance.
Such a simple and casual action triggered a tremendous change in the entire Purgatory Demon Realm. In the sky and on the ground, billions of scarlet chains, like billions of pythons emerging from the earth, frantically strangled Medusa.
In an instant, Medusa was bound hand and foot, her delicate body tightly locked by hard, cold chains.
"Get out of my way!" Medusa roared, unleashing a terrifying abyss of demonic energy that seemed poised to shatter all the chains. However, she failed.
The Crimson Chains have been greatly strengthened this time, thanks in part to Cerberus and the Frost Giant, and of course, also thanks to the support of Yang Xian and his two companions.
Fang Xiu stood atop the scarlet chains, calmly watching Medusa struggle desperately, as if admiring her.
However, this caused great trouble for the demon god in his inner world, as well as Yama and others in the divine kingdom, along with Yang Xian and the other two.
Although these people were in different locations, they all wore the same expression of pain, their strength being constantly drained by the scarlet chains as they struggled against Medusa.
Behind Fang Xiu's seemingly nonchalant demeanor, countless people are actually bearing the burden for him.
As Medusa grew more and more powerful in her rage, the chains binding her began to crack under the strain, on the verge of breaking. Just then, Fang Xiu intervened.
He slowly raised his right hand and casually tapped a chain beside him.
Sizzle!
A tiny spark, the size of a firefly, appeared from the fingertip and landed on the chain.
The next second, a shocking scene unfolded.
The tiny sparks looked as if they had landed on an oil field.
boom!
Eerie, blinding crimson flames shot into the sky. In an instant, all the chains were covered in crimson flames, and the world seemed to be divided into countless parts by chains of fire. Its power was so great that even the hellfire in the entire Purgatory Demon Realm paled in comparison.
The world was stained crimson.
"ah!!"
A piercing scream erupted from Medusa's mouth as she was engulfed in flames, her exquisitely beautiful face contorted in agony.
It was at this moment that she finally used the petrification technique that she had not used before.
Those sapphire-like eyes dimmed instantly, followed by a grayish-white color that covered them, as if their eyes had turned to stone.
These eerie eyes petrified everything they touched, even the scarlet chains. It was as if someone had poured ink into clear water, and the petrification spread outwards from Medusa.
Seeing the aftershocks of petrification about to travel towards him along the chains, Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly. With a casual flick of his hand, he severed the petrified chains, halting the petrification process.
Medusa also took the opportunity to break free. She glared angrily at Fang Xiu, but her stone-like eyes, like those of a statue, could not express any emotion.
"You actually made me show such an ugly side of myself, you deserve to die!"
Fang Xiu instantly understood why Medusa had never used the full version of the petrification technique before—it was because she looked too ugly.
As expected of the Heavenly Demon God, his mind has long been filled with demonic energy, twisting him to the point of extreme stupidity.
Medusa's petrification ability, when used to its fullest extent, will turn her own eyes into stone. Although it looks rather ugly, its power is astonishing. Even if Yang Xian is caught off guard, once he is hit, there is no way to save him.
Whoosh!
A beam of grayish-white light shot out from Medusa's eyes and swept fiercely towards Fang Xiu.
The strange power of the laws contained within caused the surrounding void to tremble violently.
Fang Xiu did not dodge, but instead formed a strange hand seal, which eventually condensed into a magic seal resembling a ferocious giant mouth.
"Great Devouring Technique!"
