Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2018 Chapter 969: Mountain Lord

Within the majestic yet chillingly malevolent Divine Temple, a chaotic web of telekinesis shifted constantly. Intense Divine Thought clashed with violent force, sending one vibration after another rippling through the air. Mo Hua and the Evil Embryo were locked in a lethal struggle. Seizing a fleeting opening amidst the high-pressure battle, Mo Hua condensed a Fireball. The sphere of flame howled through the air, detonating against the corrupted, fallen form of "Lord Yellow Mountain," yet it produced nothing more than a faint spark. Lord Yellow Mountain retaliated instantly with a massive, grotesque Blood Claw. Unable to evade in time, Mo Hua felt his arm get torn open, leaving a gruesome gash. Startled by the damage, he immediately circulated 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 at him. Mo Hua pushed his Water Passing Step to its limit, narrowly escaping the strike. Pivoting quickly, he channeled the Water Prison Technique, trapping the Evil Embryo within seven layers of spiraling water. With a casual wave of its hand, the Evil Embryo shattered the prisons, turning them into harmless mist. Moving like a blurring shadow, the creature closed the distance and sent Mo Hua flying with a brutal slap. Agony shot through Mo Hua’s bones as he struggled to adjust his movement technique mid-flight. His feet skidded across the ground for a long distance before he finally regained his balance. Yet, in the blink of an eye, a crimson flash signaled the Evil Embryo’s arrival. A blade of black blood aimed directly for Mo Hua’s heart. Though he instinctively twisted to protect his vitals, the Blood Blade still pierced his shoulder, sending him tumbling wretchedly across the floor. The Evil Embryo pursued him relentlessly, its misshapen claws tightening to form a filthy Long Halberd which it thrust toward him. Suddenly, a brilliant golden radiance erupted. A complex network of Formation Patterns manifested on the ground; it was a Formation Mo Hua had been secretly preparing. The golden light solidified into chains, binding the Evil Embryo tightly. Flames roared and magma surged in the surrounding area as explosions of Divine Thought erupted repeatedly, slowly scorching the Evil Embryo’s flesh. However, the creature broke the Formation chains with a simple tug. It strode through the sea of fire as if wading through a warm spring, completely unharmed. Mo Hua felt a chill run down his spine, but he had no time for shock before the tainted Long Halberd swung toward his waist with lethal precision. Clenching his fist, Mo Hua summoned a Sword Array that transformed into a Sever Gold Sword. The filthy Long Halberd slammed into the Sever Gold Sword, causing golden Sword Qi and black-red malevolence to tear at one another. The resulting shockwave sent Mo Hua tumbling backward. His wrist throbbed with pain, and blood seeped from the web of his thumb. As he used his Divine Marrow to heal, he realized with distress that the Evil Embryo’s black blood had contaminated a portion of it. This Divine Marrow had been gathered with great effort, and seeing it wasted by pollution pained him. A sudden scent of decay and a flash of blood warned him of a new attack. Looking up, he saw the tip of a blade—dripping with black blood and rotting gore—stabbing toward his skull. Since his Sever Gold Sword had been destroyed, Mo Hua reached back and manifested a Taia Mountain Opening Sword. Its Sword Intent was as heavy as a mountain as it met the Evil Embryo’s Long Halberd. Once more, Divine Thoughts at the level of evil gods and demigods collided. The golden deity aura and the corrupted aura intertwined, spreading destruction in every direction. Amidst the flurry of blades and shadows, Mo Hua and the Evil Embryo traded nearly a hundred blows. 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 perfectly intact behind its surging evil energy. As a peak Third Grade Evil Embryo, its pitch-black corrupted Divine Body was as solid as heavy armor, granting it immunity to elemental sorcery and making it impervious to the Divine Thought into Sword technique. "I can't keep this up..." Mo Hua muttered grimly. After a few more exchanges, a slight lapse in his defense allowed the Long Halberd to send him flying again. Mo Hua used the momentum to retreat several zhang, creating some distance. Once he stabilized himself, he raised both hands, his eyes turning deep as his Sword Intent reached its peak. Various Five Elements Sword Formations and the Rules of the Taixu Sword Dao swirled around him, concentrating between his palms to form the silhouette of a massive blade. Killing intent flickered in Mo Hua's gaze. Spells might fail, Formations might not hold you, and the Transforming Sword Skill might not pierce your hide, but I refuse to believe the God-slaying Technique of the Taixu True Skill cannot break your bones! Mo Hua’s hands clamped together as the massive Godslaying Sword began to solidify. However, before it could fully form, a silhouette moved faster than lightning to close the gap. The filthy, blood-stained Long Halberd thrust straight for his face. "Too late!" Mo Hua’s face went pale. Gritting his teeth, he swung the unfinished Godslaying Sword downward. The incomplete Sword Intent and the half-formed Divine Sword Skill crashed violently into the corrupted Long Halberd. The Divine Temple shuddered violently. A terrifying wave of Divine Thought, more powerful than anything before it, surged out like a gale. The nightmare realm rippled, and vengeful spirits shrieked in agony. Outside the hall, the expressions of Xun Ziyou and the others shifted drastically. They felt a tremor deep within their Divine Souls—a force capable of blinking them out of existence. Even the shockwaves filled them with an uncontrollable sense of doom. They couldn't fathom the level of combat occurring within. Even Xun Ziyou, a veteran late-stage Golden Core Elder of the Taixu Gate, felt his soul trembling in fear. "Is that... Mo Hua?" "What kind of monster is he fighting..." The scale of the disturbance was horrifying. Beside him, Master Gu and Master Fan stood even paler, completely paralyzed by shock.
