Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2072 Chapter 987: The Might of God-slaying

Smoke and dust billowed across the entire Refining Demon Mountain.

The outline of a youth darted ahead, resembling a brilliant shimmer of liquid light streaking through the heavens and earth, graceful and swift.

Right on his heels, though, churned a fierce black dust tempest.

A mighty, sturdy Third Grade Golden Core Black Pig Monster, built like a miniature mountain, barreled forward amid roaring Blood Qi and a whirlwind of dark Monster Qi, smashing aside every tree and boulder in its path as it caught the enticing aroma of human flesh and pursued Mo Hua relentlessly.

For a moment, the beastly force seemed immense, turning the pursuit into a breathtaking spectacle.

Fleeing animals scattered in panic, while birds erupted from the branches in terror.

Xun Ziyou trailed at a distance, clutching the Tai Xu Sword, tempted multiple times to unsheathe it and strike down this Pig Monster.

But after a brief hesitation, he restrained himself.

If he intervened, his presence would be revealed.

The elder ancestor's intent was to let Mo Hua face as much trial as possible, all while guaranteeing his protection.

A keen blade sharpens through honing, and plum blossoms bloom amid harsh frost.

Shielding Mo Hua from every peril and denying him any challenge would stifle his progress.

It was too soon to step in now.

Besides, the predicament hadn't turned utterly hopeless yet.

Though the Third Grade Black Pig Monster struck fear with its formidable demonic power and each rush posing a grave threat,

Mo Hua employed a remarkably refined movement technique, evading and twisting with fluid grace, gliding like rippling water and soaring like a startled bird, balancing on a razor's edge, narrowly escaping peril at the last instant each time, managing to hold his own.

Xun Ziyou, though astonished, couldn't suppress his admiration: "Mo Hua's movement technique is truly exquisite. I wonder where he learned it from..."

Still, he realized this standoff couldn't endure forever.

After all, Mo Hua had only reached Foundation Establishment, his Spiritual Power still limited. Against this Third Grade Golden Core Pig Monster whose demonic power ran as deep as an endless chasm, exhaustion was bound to set in.

In this high-stakes, perilous pursuit under crushing pressure, once his energy waned, it would spell doom.

Even a hint of weariness or a moment's mental strain causing the slightest error in his steps, or any minor stumble, could prove fatal.

And Mo Hua's repeated narrow dodges from the Black Pig Monster's maw only fueled its savage hunger.

The Black Pig Monster started to enrage, its demonic power surging fiercer, its pace quickening as well.

Xun Ziyou clenched the sword hilt firmly, preparing to act.

Mo Hua, too, sensed the mounting pressure.

The Third Grade Golden Core Realm Black Pig Monster's aura pressed down with overwhelming force, its demonic power and black Monster Qi crashing like stormy seas.

Mo Hua bobbed like a fragile skiff amid the raging tides, carried by the flow.

But this cursed pig refused to let up, hounding him without mercy.

Having run for what felt like ages without losing the beast, Mo Hua couldn't help but feel a surge of anger rising within.

He stole a quick peek over his shoulder, catching sight of the Black Pig Monster's eyes—huge as lanterns or bronze bells—locked onto him with unyielding focus.

Those eyes bored into Mo Hua.

A flicker of reckless urge stirred in Mo Hua's chest, but he clamped it down hard.

The Black Pig Monster was far too powerful to challenge head-on.

The priority now was escaping this Third Grade Pig Monster, not getting entangled.

Mo Hua pressed on with his flight.

Yet the further he ran, the more furious the Black Pig Monster grew.

This savage Monster Beast, armed with superior demonic power, had never wasted energy on prolonged hunts before.

Mo Hua's evasion had awakened its killer instinct after such a drawn-out chase.

From that point, the Black Pig Monster pursued without pause, its body accelerating, its Monster Qi flaring hotter, the wild gleam in its eyes sharpening to a deadly edge, as if it wouldn't stop until it had swallowed Mo Hua whole.

Cold sweat trickled down Mo Hua's spine, his strain deepening by the second.

At the same time, the anger burning in his heart flared brighter.

Suddenly, after a beat, Mo Hua composed himself.

He shot another look back at the Third Grade Black Pig Monster, his face cold, a hint of murderous resolve flashing in his gaze.

After more frantic chasing and dodging, they arrived at a swampy mountain area.

Mo Hua's form shimmered like liquid light, splitting into veils of watery haze.

In an instant, three Water Shadows materialized.

The Black Pig Monster faltered in confusion, losing track of its prey, and lunged at one Water Shadow, smashing it apart.

Beneath the shattered Water Shadow lay a sheer rock wall.

The Black Pig Monster slammed straight into it, wedging itself partway into the stone.

For a instant, its thunderous roars echoed like crumbling peaks and splitting ground.

Once embedded in the rock, the Black Pig Monster thrashed wildly without cease.

But its hulking frame made maneuvering tough. After much futile effort, it wrenched itself free, its head smeared with dirt, its eyes blazing crimson.

This Third Grade Black Pig Monster teetered on the brink of full-blown rage.

It huffed out a stench-laden breath, whipped up a fiendish gale, its gaze blood-veined.

Its twisted, repulsive snout quivered, swiftly picking up Mo Hua's trail once more, and it snapped its vicious stare to the right.

Mo Hua waited motionless in a nearby thicket of mountain woods.

All around stretched lush foliage, heavy with dampness and mist, with brooks murmuring softly.

He chose not to flee but remained still, observing the gigantic Third Grade Pig Monster looming ahead.

A slim youth, a Cultivator of modest Realm, confronting a towering, vastly superior Monster Beast.

This stood as an open taunt.

The Black Pig Monster unleashed a furious bellow.

The cry rang out like a tormented shriek from the depths of hell, a spectral lament that drilled into the ears and rattled the woods and ridges.

Blood Qi trembled, Monster Qi exploded outward.

The Black Pig Monster summoned a blast of inky demonic gale and stormed toward Mo Hua with brutal force.

But midway through its assault, streams of water erupted from the earth, melting soil and rock into a sprawling mountain swamp.

The swamp morphed into sticky sludge; the terrain turned to slop.

The earth gave way abruptly under its hooves, and the Black Pig Monster's enormous bulk plunged into the muck, sinking progressively as the slurry shifted and pulled it down.
