Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2023 Chapter 970: Slaying Evil (Part 3)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
The relentless surge of demon monsters came to a sudden halt, while the fierce ghosts and resentful souls were forcibly dispersed.
Within the Divine Temple, the suffocating evil qi began to recede.
The supply line feeding the evil embryo was severed entirely.
As the silhouette of the Divine Authority Tree faded into nothingness, Mo Hua finished his task. He stood up from the White Bone Throne and cast a gaze filled with icy killing intent toward the evil embryo situated in the temple's heart.
"Now, you're doomed!"
An unnatural, furious scream erupted from the evil embryo, yet its roar was ultimately futile.
Reaching into the void, Mo Hua manifested the Sever Gold Sword and launched another assault against the creature.
Simultaneously, Lord Yellow Mountain pushed his divine thought to the limit, fighting for control over the evil embryo’s physical form.
The monster was now trapped in a state of "external worry and internal trouble."
Because Mo Hua had seized control of the Divine Authority Tree, the demon monster's source of power was gone, leaving the evil embryo in a state of "helpless isolation."
Despite its intimidating exterior, the embryo had become a mere shell—imposing on the outside but hollow within.
The conflict remained grueling, yet Mo Hua fought with increasing valor even as he sustained injuries, and the golden radiance emanating from Lord Yellow Mountain grew more blinding.
Eventually, the struggle between the forces of righteousness and evil inside the embryo reached a tipping point.
The crimson 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 bound by the physical flesh; he could neither separate himself nor seize full command of the corrupted vessel.
The two sides were locked in a desperate stalemate.
Seeing this, Mo Hua shouted, "Mountain Lord, let me assist you!"
With a flick of his fingers, he manifested a golden formation. Layer upon layer of light materialized, binding Lord Yellow Mountain and the evil embryo together in a tight lock.
Mo Hua then raised both hands above his head, grasping the air. His focus sharpened and his entire aura shifted as a vast, magnificent sword intent began to coalesce between his palms.
The pupils of Lord Yellow Mountain contracted in shock.
A memory buried deep within his divine soul began to stir.
"This is..."
The Tai Xu God-Slaying Sword?!
Was this not the ultimate sword form of the Tai Xu Divine Thought’s True Sword transforming technique?
Wasn't this a technique that only the most ancient cultivators of the Taixu Gate, those who had spent centuries immersed in the Dao of the sword, could master?
How could a youth of his age have learned such a thing?!
Lord Yellow Mountain found the reality difficult to process.
However, he soon noticed that Mo Hua’s version of the technique differed from the one that had struck him in the past.
That ancient strike had been a pure, stellar flow of Tai Xu Sword Intent.
In contrast, Mo Hua’s sword was incredibly complex.
It was a chaotic fusion of various elements.
It contained the Dao of the Sword, formations, the Five Elements, and the Tai Xu Sword Intent. It even held a trace of unfeeling 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 utterly speechless.
With the evil embryo split between light and dark, restrained by the formation, and the endless demon monsters gone, 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 emotion and self, honed the blade’s edge to an impossible sharpness.
A boundless killing intent crystallized in Mo Hua’s grip.
Even the lifeless evil embryo began 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, radiating a dazzling light. With a resolute gaze, Mo Hua gave the soft command and swung downward with all his might.
Swirling with the power of the Five Elements, the massive Tai Xu God-Slaying Sword—a masterpiece of array and blade—exploded with brilliance. It resembled a celestial river falling from the heavens, crashing down with overwhelming force.
Blinding rays of sword light instantly flooded the room, striking the very center of the evil embryo.
Faced with such a terrifying display of Divine Thought Sword Dao, the evil embryo—despite being at the peak of the third-grade realm—could not endure. Its divine body began to crack and shatter.
Its hide, though as tough as armor, was relentlessly shredded and torn by the swirling slaughter of the sword qi.
The Tai Xu Sword Intent surged with unstoppable power.
If a single strand of sword qi failed to pierce the skin, then a thousand more followed in its wake.
Beyond the sword qi, the elemental forces of Sever Gold, Guishui, and Li Fire formations poured in without end.
The moment a breach appeared, the Heavenly Demon Path exploited it, systematically snuffing out every spark of vitality...
Finally, countless sword rays bloomed as the incredible sword intent erupted. It was like a ravaging tsunami that caused the entire Divine Temple to shake violently.
As the shockwaves of this amazing sword intent radiated outward, Master Gu and the others standing outside the temple turned pale with alarm.
Xun Ziyou was the most stunned of all.
That specific sword intent—both familiar and alien, yet powerful enough to make his heart race—caused his expression to shift into one of total disbelief.
"Could it be... the Tai Xu Divine Thought into sword True Jue?!"
"That Divine Thought Sword Technique that was sealed as a forbidden art within the Taixu Gate for centuries?"
"Impossible..."
"Wasn't that sword technique lost to time?"
"Who could possibly be using it?"
"It couldn't... it couldn't be Mo Hua, right?"
Xun Ziyou gasped, his entire body trembling.
