Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2018 Chapter 969: Mountain Lord

Within the grand, solemn, yet chillingly sinister Divine Temple, a frantic battle unfolded. Intertwining telekinesis shifted constantly while intense Divine Thought clashed with such ferocity that vibrations rippled through the air one after another. Mo Hua and the Evil Embryo were locked in a lethal struggle. Seizing a fleeting opening amidst the tension, Mo Hua condensed a Fireball and sent it howling forward. The sphere of flame blasted against the corrupted "Lord Yellow Mountain," yet it produced nothing more than a tiny spark upon the Evil Embryo’s form. Lord Yellow Mountain retaliated instantly with a massive, hideous Blood Claw. Unable to evade in time, Mo Hua felt his arm torn open, leaving a gruesome, bloody gash. Startled, he immediately channeled his golden Divine Marrow to mend the wound. However, the Evil Embryo’s next assault arrived in a heartbeat. A Blood Long Halberd, forged from the essence of vengeful spirits, manifested out of thin air and swung down toward him. Mo Hua pushed his Water Passing Step to the limit, narrowly escaping the strike. Pivoting quickly, he cast the Water Prison Technique, trapping the Evil Embryo within seven layers of aqueous cages. With a mere lift of its hand, the Evil Embryo shattered the prisons, turning them into harmless mist. Moving like a blurring shadow, it closed the distance and sent Mo Hua flying with a heavy slap. Agony flared through Mo Hua’s bones, but he forced his movement technique to stabilize his body in mid-air. He skidded across the ground on both feet for a considerable distance before coming to a halt. Yet, a flash of blood signaled that the Evil Embryo’s killing blow was already there. A blade of black blood aimed directly for Mo Hua’s heart. He instinctively twisted to protect his vitals, but the Blood Blade still pierced his shoulder, sending him rolling wretchedly across the floor. The Evil Embryo stepped forward, closing in once again. Its twisted claws gripped a filthy Long Halberd which it thrust toward Mo Hua. Suddenly, a surge of golden light erupted. A complex network of Formation Patterns manifested on the ground—a trap Mo Hua had been secretly preparing.

The golden radiance transformed into heavy chains that bound the Evil Embryo tightly. Around it, fire roared and magma surged as explosions of Divine Thought erupted, beginning to sear the Evil Embryo’s flesh. With a casual tug, however, the creature snapped the Formation chains. It strode through the sea of flames as if wading through a pleasant hot spring, completely unscathed. Mo Hua felt his scalp tingle with dread. Before he could process the situation, the tainted Long Halberd loomed over him, sharp and malicious, aimed at his waist. Mo Hua clenched his fist, summoning a Sword Array that condensed into a Sever Gold Sword. The tainted Long Halberd crashed against the Sever Gold Sword. Golden Sword Qi and black-red malevolent energy tore at one another, and the resulting shockwave sent Mo Hua tumbling backward. Pain shot through his wrist as blood seeped from his palm. He attempted to use his Divine Marrow for healing again, only to realize with horror that some of it had been contaminated by the Evil Embryo’s black blood. Mo Hua felt a pang of distress; this Divine Marrow had been gathered with immense effort, and now it was being wasted by this pollution. A scent of decay filled the air as a flash of blood warned him of a new attack. Looking up, he saw a blade tip encrusted with black blood and rotting flesh driving straight for his skull. The Sever Gold Sword had already been destroyed. Reaching back, Mo Hua summoned a Taia Mountain Opening Sword. Its Sword Intent was as heavy as a mountain as it met the Evil Embryo’s weapon. Once more, Divine Thoughts at the level of evil gods and demigods collided. The golden deity aura and the corrupted aura intertwined, radiating outward in all directions. Through the blur of blades and shadows, Mo Hua and the Evil Embryo fought for nearly a hundred exchanges. Mo Hua’s Divine Thought incarnation was covered in wounds, with some gashes so deep they exposed the bone. In contrast, the Evil Embryo remained whole amidst the swirling evil energy. As a peak Third Grade Evil Embryo, its pitch-black Divine Body served as unbreakable armor, immune to elemental sorcery and resistant to the Divine Thought into Sword technique. "This cannot continue..." Mo Hua muttered grimly. After a few more clashes, a lapse in his defense allowed the Long Halberd to send him flying again. Mo Hua used the force of the blow to retreat several zhang, creating distance. Once he found his footing, he raised his hands high, his eyes deepening as his Sword Intent reached its peak. Various Five Elements Sword Formations and the Rules of the Taixu Sword Dao swirled around him, merging between his palms to create the frame of a colossus blade. Killing intent flickered in Mo Hua’s gaze. Spells might fail, Formations might be broken, and the Transforming Sword Skill might not pierce that hide, but he refused to believe the God-slaying Technique of the Taixu True Skill could not cut through those bones! Mo Hua’s hands gripped together as the massive Godslaying Sword began to solidify. However, before it could fully form, a silhouette faster than lightning closed the gap. The filthy, blood-stained Long Halberd thrust directly at his face. "It’s too late!" Mo Hua’s face went pale. Gritting his teeth, he swung the incomplete Godslaying Sword downward. The unfinished Sword Intent and the half-formed Divine Sword Skill slammed into the corrupted Long Halberd. In that instant, the entire Divine Temple trembled. A hurricane of terrifying Divine Thought waves swept out, far more powerful than anything before. The nightmare realm rippled with turbulence as vengeful spirits screamed. Outside the hall, the expressions of Xun Ziyou and the others shifted violently. They could feel their very Divine Souls shaking from a force capable of wiping them out of existence. Even the aftershocks filled them with an uncontrollable sense of doom. They could not fathom the scale of the battle occurring within. Even Xun Ziyou, an experienced Elder of the Taixu Gate at the late Golden Core stage, felt his soul trembling in fear. "Is that... Mo Hua?" "What kind of monster is he fighting..." The destruction was beyond belief. Beside him, Master Gu and Master Fan stood even paler, completely paralyzed by shock.
