Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2023 Chapter 970: Slaying Evil (Part 3)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
The tide of demonic monsters came to a sudden halt, causing the fierce ghosts and resentful souls to scatter into nothingness.
Inside the Divine Temple, the oppressive evil qi began to recede.
The supply of power to the evil embryo was severed entirely.
As the silhouette of the Divine Authority Tree faded away, Mo Hua finished his task. Standing up from the White Bone Throne, he glared down at the evil embryo situated in the temple's heart, his gaze radiating murderous intent.
"Now, you're doomed!"
An unnatural, furious roar erupted from the evil embryo, though its screams changed nothing.
Reaching into the air, Mo Hua manifested the Sever Gold Sword and launched a fresh assault against the creature.
Simultaneously, Lord Yellow Mountain channeled his divine thought to seize control of the evil embryo’s physical form.
The evil embryo was now trapped in a state of "internal strife and external peril."
Because Mo Hua had occupied the Divine Authority Tree, the monster's connection to its demonic power was broken, leaving the evil embryo in a state of "helpless isolation."
Despite its intimidating exterior, the evil embryo had become a hollow shell—menacing on the outside but fragile within.
The fight remained grueling, yet Mo Hua fought with increasing bravery despite his injuries, while the golden radiance of Lord Yellow Mountain grew more blinding.
Eventually, the conflict between the powers of righteousness and evil inside the embryo reached a tipping point.
The blood-red glow of the evil embryo and Lord Yellow Mountain’s golden light split the body almost perfectly down the middle.
Lord Yellow Mountain attempted to tear himself away, but he was trapped by the flesh; he could neither separate from the body nor gain full mastery over the corrupted form.
The two forces remained locked in a stalemate.
Seeing this, Mo Hua shouted, "Mountain Lord, let me assist you!"
With a gesture of two fingers, he manifested a golden formation. Layer upon layer of light descended, binding Lord Yellow Mountain and the evil embryo together.
Then, Mo Hua raised both hands above his head. His focus sharpened and his entire aura shifted as a vast, majestic sword intent began to coalesce between his palms.
Lord Yellow Mountain’s pupils contracted in shock.
A long-buried memory surfaced from the depths of his divine soul.
"This is..."
The Tai Xu God-Slaying Sword?!
The supreme sword form of the Tai Xu Divine Thought’s True Sword transformation technique?!
Wasn’t this a technique reserved only for the ancient Cultivation masters of the Taixu Gate, who spent centuries immersed in the Dao of the Sword?
How could a youth of his age have mastered it?!
Lord Yellow Mountain found the sight nearly impossible to process.
However, he quickly noticed that Mo Hua’s version differed from the strike that had hit him centuries ago.
That ancient sword had carried a pure, primordial Tai Xu Sword Intent that flowed with the grace of the stars.
In contrast, the sword Mo Hua held was incredibly complex.
It was a chaotic fusion of countless elements.
It contained Array Formations, the Dao of the Sword, the Five Elements, and the Tai Xu Sword Intent. It even held a trace of cold detachment and a law of the Dao that left even a deity like Lord Yellow Mountain feeling bewildered and intrigued...
"How is this possible... the Heavenly Demon?!"
Lord Yellow Mountain was left speechless.
With the evil embryo split between light and dark, restrained by the formation, and with the demonic hordes vanished, there was no one left in the Divine Temple to stop Mo Hua from finishing his sword.
The Sever Gold, Guishui, Mountain Opening, and Li Fire Sword Arrays merged into a single entity.
The ancient Tai Xu Sword Intent let out a mighty roar.
The Path of the Heavenly Demon, which severs all emotion and self, honed the blade’s edge to an infinite sharpness.
A boundless killing intent gathered in Mo Hua’s grip.
Even the lifeless evil embryo seemed to tremble with a sense of dread.
"Slash!"
As the laws of the world spun, the Tai Xu God-Slaying Sword reached its full form. Amidst a blinding light, Mo Hua gave a quiet command and swung downward with all his might.
With the Five Elements rotating around it, the massive Tai Xu God-Slaying Sword—a fusion of array and blade—erupted in a brilliant flash. It looked like a celestial river falling from the heavens as it crashed down.
Blinding rays of sword light instantly flooded the room, striking the very center of the evil embryo.
Faced with such an incredible display of Divine Thought Sword Dao, the evil embryo—even at the peak of the third-grade—could not endure. Its divine body began to crack and crumble.
Its skin, as durable as heavy armor, was shredded and torn apart by the relentless, twisting sword qi.
The Tai Xu Sword Intent surged with overwhelming power.
If a single strand of sword qi failed to cut through, then ten, a hundred, or even a thousand more followed.
Beyond the sword qi, the elemental forces of Sever Gold, Guishui, and Li Fire flowed without end.
Once a breach was made, the Heavenly Demon Path surged in to exploit the weakness, systematically erasing all traces of life...
Finally, thousands of sword rays bloomed at once. An incredible explosion of sword intent erupted like a devastating tsunami, making the entire Divine Temple shake violently.
As the ripples of this massive sword intent traveled outward, Master Gu and the others waiting outside turned pale with terror.
Xun Ziyou was the most shaken of all.
The sword intent felt both familiar and alien, possessing a power that made his heart race. His expression twisted in utter disbelief.
"Could it be... the Tai Xu Divine Thought True Sword Jue?!"
"The Divine Thought Sword Technique that was forbidden and sealed within the Taixu Gate for centuries?"
"That's impossible..."
"Wasn't that technique lost to time?"
"Who is the one using it?"
"It couldn't... it couldn't possibly be Mo Hua, right?"
Xun Ziyou gasped, his entire body trembling.
