Chapter 371: Chapter 367: Self-Destruction of the Realm! Infinite Proliferation

Fang Can... was dead?

How was that possible?

And he’d been killed by his own attack?

The Abbot stared blankly at what was left of Fang Can after being struck by an arrow moving at several hundred times the speed of sound... or rather, the paste that was once Fang Can?

No!

You couldn’t even call it a paste anymore.

After being hit at such a velocity, not even ash remained.

There was no way a single cell could have survived. He was well and truly obliterated, not a trace left behind.

Looking at the scene of the impact, where not even a scrap of tissue could be seen, a silence spread through everyone present.

What followed was...

"Hell yeah!"

Unconsciously, joyous smiles spread across the faces of the Fourth Turn Martial Artists.

They had already given up all hope of killing Fang Can.

They never expected that just when all hope seemed lost, a new path would reveal itself. Fang Can had made a mistake and gotten himself killed!

But they quickly composed themselves.

’Can’t laugh yet, not yet!’

’In front of the Abbot, we should at least pretend to be mournful. We can burst out laughing after he leaves.’

Meanwhile, the Reincarnators were even more ecstatic!

[Killed Fang Can once! Reward: 100,000 Reward Points, S-rank side story]

[Planar Channel access granted]

...

’Yeehaw!’

Cheers of wild joy erupted in the Reincarnators’ minds. They never imagined something so wonderful would happen in the end.

To think the mission would be completed so anticlimactically. It was completely unexpected.

The leader of the group spoke directly, "Main God! Open the planar channel, right here!"

As he spoke, a sinister grin spread across his face.

Once the planar channel opened, at least one hundred thousand Reincarnators at the Fourth Turn or higher from the entire Main God Space would arrive. They could definitely achieve total domination over this Martial World!

’Forget any talk of cooperation and mutual benefit. We’ll just use brute force to rule this entire plane! We’ll squeeze everyone dry!’

But while they were lost in their thoughts, what was Fang Can doing?

Oh, Fang Can was still in the process of dying...

Under the suppression of Fangcun Mountain, all of Fang Can’s strength, speed, defense, and even his Cultivation Techniques and Heart Image had been forcibly reduced to the level of an ordinary person.

This was why, when faced with the crisis, his body had been completely defenseless and blown to smithereens.

And even after being annihilated into dust, those particles were still within the range of Fangcun Mountain’s influence, which should have eliminated any possibility of a comeback.

But was that really the case?

Let’s take stock of the traits Fang Can possessed that could not be suppressed by Fangcun Mountain.

They were [Fortune from Calamity], [Indomitable Fortitude], and the [Grimoire of the Seven Sins]!

At this moment, under the suppression of the Fifth Turn Fangcun Mountain, Fang Can’s consciousness was still locked in the ultimate fury of the sin of wrath, desiring only to destroy everything.

Everything, including himself!

The activation of [Fortune from Calamity] allowed Fang Can, even in his frenzied state, to instinctively grasp a solution the moment his life was in danger!

So... if he was going to destroy, he would destroy everything! Including himself!

In the next instant, Fang Can’s body, which had been blasted to dust, began to proliferate with the intent to destroy everything!

By the time the Abbot reacted, he saw a giant, pristine white ball of flesh begin to expand out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, it reshaped itself into a human-sized head.

But before the head could even roar, the tens of thousands of white arrows in the sky, having detected that Fang Can was still alive, once again took flight, attacking the ball of flesh with absolute speed!

From the very beginning, Fang Can had given these arrows an order.

If they lost their connection to his main body, it meant he had been hit by Fangcun Mountain’s Realm suppression.

At that point, they were to use their strongest, most potent, and most terrifying power to destroy his main body while it was still in a weakened state!

In the next instant, the newly grown flesh was struck once again by a relentless barrage of white arrows.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—

The tens of thousands of arrows charged toward Fang Can, one after another!

Each arrow unleashed a massive explosion capable of engulfing a city, completely annihilating Fang Can’s self-healing body.

But each annihilation only made his body’s next recovery even faster.

The only real effect of the arrows was to blast Fang Can’s bodily tissues to every corner of the city!

By the time the Abbot realized what was happening, he saw countless pieces of flesh writhing within the mushroom clouds of the explosions, dying and being reborn, being reborn and dying again! Yet, they always stubbornly regenerated.

’How is this possible...’

The Abbot’s brow furrowed deeply as he watched the thousands of pieces of flesh struggling in the sea of fire.

Under his Fangcun Mountain, it was impossible for a mortal to have such a heaven-defying regenerative ability. Not even a Fourth Turn could survive such a bombardment.

The only possibility was... a technique of the Fifth Turn or higher!

The answer was the massive amount of damage, which had directly triggered Fang Can’s [Indomitable Fortitude]!

Essentially, any high-level superpower could be used in all sorts of creative ways, even without formal training.

Even a purely self-restorative superpower like [Indomitable Fortitude], if developed properly, could be used to cause terrifying destruction.

Talent Entry 2 [Indomitable Fortitude]: Only by infinitely approaching death can one awaken to the true meaning of life!

From the very beginning, the system panel had indicated how to develop Indomitable Fortitude: the closer one came to death, the better the healing effect!

This directly guaranteed that no matter how recklessly Fang Can courted death, he could infinitely restore his body.

Even if he were reduced to ash, to particles, to Planck-scale motes, Fang Can could restore his body to its original state, faster each time.

But a distinction must be made here: what is the "original state"?

For self-healing ability users like Wolverine, Deadpool, or the Sub-humans, there is a default "factory setting." No matter what damage they take, their cells will restore them to their original form.

For example, Deadpool’s appearance is forever fixed to the moment he awakened his healing ability and cannot be restored to what it was before.

This ensures that even after countless instances of self-recovery, the body does not turn into a monstrosity.

A monstrosity like Fujiang, for example, who can grow a whole new self from a single severed finger.

But just because they don’t, doesn’t mean they can’t!

This ability was like Pandora’s Box.

In that instant of death, perhaps due to the superpower’s self-preservation instinct, or perhaps by a fluke from [Fortune from Calamity]...

The measured recovery of [Indomitable Fortitude] transformed into an excessive, self-proliferating recovery, like "cancer cells."

And with that, Pandora’s Box was opened!

BOOM!

As the Abbot watched with a deeply furrowed brow, countless fragments of Fang Can’s flesh began to proliferate madly within the sea of fire.

In just a moment, the mass of Fang Can’s flesh spread out like a carpet, covering more than ten kilometers of land.

And there was no sign of it stopping. The flesh was still proliferating, transforming, growing, and expanding!

Ignoring the conservation of energy, ignoring the laws of the universe, the Ninth Turn-equivalent [Indomitable Fortitude] could not be suppressed by anyone.

It was just like the dorayaki in Doraemon that had been doused with a doubling potion, doubling in quantity every minute.

Fang Can’s flesh was beginning to proliferate infinitely!
