Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2053 Chapter 980: Dream Dragon (Part 3)

This golden radiance was exceptionally pure, flowing with a majestic divine charm that harbored the very laws of the Dao.

The oppressive dragon aura was instantly dispelled.

The dignity of imperial authority was completely wiped away.

Breaking free from the restrictive laws of the Dragon Hall, Mo Hua circulated his Divine Thought. The resulting golden light was so dazzling that he resembled a small, golden Immortal.

He took a step forward.

With a single stride, he bypassed the towering stairs of the Dragon Hall and reached the throne situated above.

Enraged by his proximity, the nearby Dragon Guards charged forward with intent to kill.

Amidst the vast golden brilliance, Mo Hua threw punch after punch, slaying every Dragon Guard and grinding their forms into dust.

Taking another step, Mo Hua stood directly upon the Dragon Emperor's throne.

With a swift kick, he knocked over the Dragon Platform. He then extended his small hand—which seemed to expand like a net covering heaven and earth—reaching toward the exalted Dragon Emperor.

"Wretch! How dare you!"

The Dragon Emperor, who had appeared noble and extraordinary just moments ago, lost all composure. It lashed out with a dragon claw, tearing toward Mo Hua.

However, in the following instant, that sinister dragon claw was seized by Mo Hua’s small, tender hand.

Mo Hua applied pressure, snapping the dragon claw piece by piece.

Furious, the Dragon Emperor shifted into its dragon form to battle Mo Hua.

Yet, the laws of the Dragon Hall failed to suppress Mo Hua. The dragon aura and imperial prestige no longer had any binding effect on him, for he now possessed a Dao-transformed divine body.

Relying solely on the power of Divine Thought, the Dragon Emperor's half-dragon form was simply no match for him.

After only a dozen exchanges, the Dragon Emperor was broken. Its bones were shattered, and it was trampled beneath Mo Hua's feet.

Standing high within the Dragon Hall, Mo Hua sat upon the dragon chair while pinning the Great Wilderness Dragon Emperor down. He sneered:

"Smelly worm, you claimed my bloodline was lowly? Look at us now; who is the lowly one?"

Overwhelmed by shame and resentment, the Dragon Emperor hissed, "Despicable wretch, you defile my Great Wilderness Dragon Hall and tarnish my imperial dignity. One day, karma will find you, and you will fall into an eternal purgatory to endure endless agony, never to know rebirth!"

These vicious curses entered one of Mo Hua's ears and exited the other.

He knew that those truly capable of killing him would have done so already.

Those who lacked the power to kill resorted to such venomous words out of impotent fury.

However, facing the Great Wilderness Dragon Clan this time, Mo Hua felt a flicker of unease.

To suffer "Karma Dragon's retaliation"?

Was such a thing actually possible?

Did it mean that slaying this Dragon Emperor would trigger karma and bring down the vengeance of the Great Wilderness Karma Dragon?

Mo Hua’s eyes shimmered with golden light as he scrutinized this so-called "Dragon Emperor" of the Great Wilderness.

This entity was half-human and half-dragon.

While the body was human, the head was that of a dragon, the limbs were claws, and the skin was covered in dragon scales.

Physically, it was indeed a hybrid of man and dragon.

According to Mo Hua’s Divine Thought perception, its Divine Soul was also split between human and dragon.

Mo Hua estimated that the human portion belonged to a soul from an imperial clan of the Great Wilderness—perhaps even an "Emperor."

The dragon half, however, was a genuine "Dragon Soul."

In simpler terms, it was a Divine Thought construct forged from a mixture of a "Human Soul" and a "Dragon Soul."

If he killed it, he likely would incur "Dragon" karma...

Furthermore, Mo Hua was uncertain of the actual rank this "Dragon Emperor" held within the Great Wilderness.

Since it was so weak, its status probably wasn't very high...

But what if more ancient Dragon Emperors, primeval and prehistoric, lurked behind it?

By killing the "young" one, would he provoke the "old" ones and invite generational trouble?

While this Dragon Emperor wasn't particularly strong, other ancient existences might be a different story.

Following his battle with the Evil Embryo in Solitary Mountain City, Mo Hua had become much more cautious.

Even though his Divine Thought was incredibly powerful, it didn't mean he could slaughter every enemy without restraint or consequence.

"Should I... perhaps let this Dragon Emperor go?"

Mo Hua contemplated.

He had already slain its Dragon Guards, overturned its Dragon Platform, occupied its Dragon Chair, and stepped on its body.

But fundamentally, the other party had initiated the conflict.

It was the one who had tried to force him to kneel.

Was it possible to just laugh off these grievances?

As Mo Hua delved deeper into thought, he became hesitant, and his stance grew uncertain.

This hesitation was noticed by the Dragon Emperor.

Believing Mo Hua was "afraid," the Dragon Emperor immediately let out a cold sneer:

"Ignorant brat, you have no conception of the gravity of your crimes."

"You should stop this instant, kneel, kowtow to me, and swear to be my slave. If you do, I might let you live. Otherwise, the time will come when you suffer the ultimate karma and are utterly annihilated!"

Mo Hua’s expression darkened once more.

He was someone who responded well to kindness but remained stubborn against threats.

Had this old worm spoken politely while he was in a good mood, he might have released it.

But what was this?

Threatening him? Intimidating him? Still planning to kill him?

Had a lifetime of being pampered in power left it with no understanding of life and death?

Mo Hua gave a soft chuckle. "An imperial scion of the Great Wilderness? Today, I shall teach you the meaning of being 'born in hardship and dying in comfort.'"

The Dragon Emperor trembled, roaring in rage: "You dare?!"

Before it could argue further, Mo Hua reached out and snapped its neck.

Then, with his right hand, he manifested a short sword of Divine Thought, which was tinged with a mysterious, starlit black.

This sword was the condensation of the Dao of Taishang Emotion Cutting’s Heavenly Demon.

Having achieved Divine Thought Formation, Mo Hua’s ability to forge a sword from Divine Thought had reached a higher state, allowing him to independently weave the laws of the Heavenly Demon Slash into the blade.

Consequently, this "Divine Thought sword" was effectively a "Heavenly Demon Sword."

Using the Heavenly Demon Sword, Mo Hua sliced through the "Human Soul" and "Dragon Soul" components of the Dragon Emperor’s Divine Thought.

He had performed a similar feat at Gushan Temple when he severed the Evil Embryo from Lord Yellow Mountain.

Now that Mo Hua’s Divine Sense was stronger and his Divine Thought sword sharper, dissecting a Great Wilderness Dragon Emperor—who was weaker than the Evil Embryo—was effortless.

A flash of golden and black light erupted.

The Dragon Emperor was split in two.

"Wretch, what have you done?! You..." The human-shaped portion of the Dragon Emperor looked on in stunned fury.

Losing his patience for such nonsense, Mo Hua crushed it to death with his small hand.

What remained was the pure "Dragon Soul."

A wisp of light blue light, possessing an inherent majesty and the unyielding nature of an Azure Dragon Soul, rested in Mo Hua’s palm.

As he stared at this untainted Dragon Soul, a thought naturally entered Mo Hua’s mind:

"Can I 'eat' this dragon?"

Once the idea took root, it spread like a wildfire, completely dominating Mo Hua's thoughts.

The Dragon Soul was pure, overflowing with Dragon Power and a remarkably potent telekinetic pulse.

Drool began to leak from the corner of Mo Hua’s mouth.

He tried to resist for a moment, but he ultimately succumbed. Opening his mouth wide, he swallowed the entire Dragon Soul in one go.
