So Fang Xiu made his move. He plunged headlong into the chaotic hell. Having already laid his cards on the table, he became increasingly reckless. Hundreds of millions of hell chains fell from the void, randomly selecting lucky demon gods to devour.
However, his efficiency was much slower than Satan's. Those demons could not last long before turning into a pool of blood under the shroud of blood light.
He also needs to hunt down escaped food and die every now and then to allow his past self to emerge from the river of time.
Because the blood-red light also affected him, corroding his body.
He also tried to imitate Satan by drinking the blood river water directly, but found it didn't work; his whole body dissolved after one sip.
“Lord Satan, Fang Xiu is taking the opportunity to devour the demon god, we…” the jealous angel said with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Ignore him, let him devour it. It'll save him from informing on us and attracting other gods and demons. It'll buy me more time," Satan said expressionlessly, then fell silent and focused on devouring the seven rivers of blood.
An hour later, Fang Xiu was able to devour fewer and fewer demon gods, and almost all of them were fused into the blood river.
With his power surging once again, he attempted to attack Satan. He channeled the power of all demons into the Divine Feather Spear and then hurled it fiercely.
Whoosh!
The Divine Feather Spear streaked through the void like a golden meteor, aiming straight for Satan's face. However, at that moment, the River of Blood churned, and a wave of blood rushed in, blocking Satan's path.
Sizzle!
A sickening corrosive sound rang out as the Divine Feather Spear plunged into the blood wave, melting away inch by inch until it vanished completely.
Fang Xiu frowned slightly and tried to attack the Seven Angels of Hell again, but the result was the same. Those seven rivers of blood contained the vast power of the entire hell, which even the Ten Thousand Demons could not break through.
So he stopped trying and patiently waited, wanting to see how far this Satan could ultimately go.
After a long while, all seven mighty rivers of blood merged into Satan's body, turning Sun Wukong's original golden eyes into blood-red eyes, and his terrifying demonic energy became almost tangible, making him resemble a chaotic demon god!
An inexplicable aura rose from his body. This aura was not oppressive at all; instead, it was ethereal and otherworldly, as if it existed in another dimension.
Fang Xiu watched Satan's transformation. He had met Nuwa before and knew the aura of the ancient gods. Now he saw it again in Satan—that ethereal aura that transcended everything, stood apart from the world, and seemed to be above all things.
The seven angels were fervently worshipping Satan, as if witnessing the birth of a supreme being.
The aura of the ancient god on Satan surged rapidly, but it suddenly weakened when it reached a certain critical point.
"No!!"
Satan's eyes were bloodshot as he reached out to grab the heavens, seemingly denouncing their injustice: "So close! So close!"
He suddenly lowered his eyes, his bloodshot pupils fixed on the seven angels of hell.
The seven angels were immediately alarmed; the clever Lucifer had already run thousands of miles away.
However, the next second, a large hand shrouded in demonic energy pierced through the void, grabbed him, and squeezed him slightly. Lucifer's body instantly exploded, turning into a dark purple mass of origin.
With a single, gaping maw, Satan devoured Lucifer's essence, halting his previously waning momentum.
Seeing this, the other angels fled in panic.
With a casual wave of his hand, Satan conjured a blood-red demonic claw out of thin air, easily catching the fleeing angel as if catching a fish.
Then it devoured it in large gulps.
His aura of ancient gods surged once more! It seemed he was about to break through the critical point.
Satan was overjoyed: "That's about it!"
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed an angel standing motionless beside him.
Why don't you run?
"I'm too lazy to run," the Sloth Angel replied lazily.
"good."
Satan grabbed the Sloth Angel and then devoured it.
Finally, his ancient god aura reached its peak, and he had already crossed the critical point with one foot in the air.
But at that moment, Satan froze, his face blank, and his blood-red eyes returned to gold.
Satan scratched the back of his head in confusion, looked around, and found that the surroundings were empty except for Fang Xiu.
Who are you? Where is this?
The voice that came out of Satan's mouth was no longer deep and hoarse, but instead had a mischievous childlike tone.
In an instant, the vast aura of the ancient god vanished completely.
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly: "Sun Wukong?"
Satan scratched his head again: "Who is Sun Wukong? Why does that name sound so familiar?"
Fang Xiu instantly understood Satan's current state. Because Satan had not completely erased Sun Wukong's consciousness, he forcibly broke through to the Ancient God realm, but an unexpected incident occurred. At the critical moment, Sun Wukong's consciousness came out to cause trouble.
No, to be precise, this was not an accident, but an inevitability. An ancient god of such a realm must be flawless and perfect, and it is impossible for him to break through when his soul is not yet complete and coordinated.
However, although Sun Wukong's consciousness has temporarily taken over, it is clear that the other party has lost his memory and is now in a state equivalent to that of a child.
In this state, it is almost impossible to fight against Satan and reclaim one's soul.
"You are Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong."
Fang Xiu tried to awaken Sun Wukong's memories, but Sun Wukong remained unmoved after hearing it, instead shouting excitedly like a child.
"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong? What a majestic name! Is that my name? That's wonderful!"
He shouted excitedly, jumping and hopping around like a real little monkey.
However, as he jumped around, Sun Wukong's body stiffened again, his golden eyes were gradually covered with blood, and his innocent expression turned into a cold, angry look.
"Go back!" Satan roared, scaring away the little monkey and regaining control of Sun Wukong's soul.
He lowered his eyes to examine his own body, his anger surging forth.
"Failure! Defeat after all! Even if I fought through the entire hell, am I still only half a step away from becoming an ancient god?! Ahhh!!"
It's all because of you!
He suddenly turned his head, his terrifying blood-red eyes fixed on Fang Xiu, his killing intent terrifying!
He walked step by step toward Fang Xiu, as if he were carrying the power of the entire hell, terrifying beyond imagination.
"If it weren't for you, I could have completely refined Sun Wukong's consciousness before breaking through, but now you've ruined all of that!"
"I, this king, have given my all, yet I've only reached the half-step Ancient God realm. Tell me, shouldn't you die?!"
Suddenly, Satan stopped in his tracks and stood in front of Fang Xiu, like a ferocious demon ready to devour people, as if he were about to attack at any moment.
Fang Xiu remained calm, completely unconcerned by Satan's threat. He simply said, "Don't always look for reasons in others. Think more about your own problems. After you reflect, you'll understand that the reason you failed is simply because you're a good-for-nothing, nothing more."
