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

A golden light radiated with incomparable purity, flowing with a majestic divine charm that harbored the very laws of the Dao.

The oppressive dragon aura was instantly dispelled.

The overbearing dignity of imperial power was wiped away.

Breaking free from the restrictive laws of the Dragon Hall, Mo Hua operated his Divine Thought. Dazzling golden light erupted from him, making him resemble a small, golden Immortal.

He took a step forward.

With a single stride, he bypassed the towering steps of the Dragon Hall and approached the high throne.

Enraged, the nearby Dragon Guards charged forward to kill him.

Mo Hua met them with his fists, striking them one by one. Amidst a vast explosion of golden light, he slaughtered the guards, crushing their forms into fine powder.

With another step, Mo Hua was already standing upon the Dragon Emperor’s throne.

He sent the Dragon Platform tumbling with a single kick. Then, he extended his small hand—which seemed to manifest a net of heaven and earth—reaching for the lofty Dragon Emperor.

"Wretch! How dare you!"

The Dragon Emperor, who had previously appeared noble and extraordinary, lost all composure. He lunged at Mo Hua, tearing at him with a dragon claw.

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

Mo Hua snapped the dragon claw, breaking it piece by piece.

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

But the laws of the Dragon Hall were powerless to suppress Mo Hua. The dragon aura and imperial prestige no longer held any binding force over Mo Hua, whose divine body was now transformed by the Dao.

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

After a mere dozen exchanges, the Dragon Emperor was broken. His bones were shattered, and he was trampled beneath Mo Hua’s feet.

Standing high above the Dragon Hall and seated upon the dragon chair while pinning down the Great Wilderness Dragon Emperor, Mo Hua sneered:

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

Filled with deep 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. You shall fall into endless purgatory and endure eternal pain, never to know rebirth!"

These vicious curses went in one ear and out the other for Mo Hua.

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

When enemies are powerless to kill, they resort to such spiteful words and impotent fury.

Yet, facing the Great Wilderness Dragon Clan this time, Mo Hua felt a slight prickle of unease.

To suffer "Karma Dragon’s retaliation"?

Did such a thing actually exist?

Did it mean that slaying this Dragon Emperor would trigger a karmic debt, leading the Karma Dragon of the Great Wilderness to seek vengeance?

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

The creature was half-human and half-dragon.

The torso was human, but it possessed a dragon’s head, dragon claws for limbs, and skin covered in scales.

Physically, it was indeed a hybrid.

Even its Divine Soul, as perceived by Mo Hua’s Divine Thought, was split between human and dragon.

Mo Hua estimated the human portion was likely the soul of some imperial clan from the Great Wilderness, perhaps even a former "Emperor."

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

It was essentially a Divine Thought creation forged from a "Human Soul" and a "Dragon Soul" mixed together.

If he killed it, there was a high probability he would indeed incur "Dragon" karma...

Furthermore, Mo Hua was uncertain of this "Dragon Emperor’s" true standing within the Great Wilderness.

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

But what if there were ancient Dragon Emperors, or even primeval ones, backing it up?

By killing the "young" one, would he provoke the "old" ones and bring endless trouble to his future generations?

This specific Dragon Emperor might be weak, but those ancient existences likely were not.

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

Strong as his Divine Thought was, it didn't mean he could slaughter every enemy without restraint or consequence.

"Should I... let this Dragon Emperor go?" Mo Hua mused.

He had already slaughtered the Dragon Guards, overturned the Dragon Platform, sat on the Dragon Chair, and stepped on the ruler himself.

But fundamentally, the other party had started the conflict.

The Emperor was the one who tried to force him to kneel.

Could they simply laugh off their grievances and move on?

As Mo Hua’s thoughts swirled, he became hesitant, and his stance grew uncertain.

This hesitation was spotted by the Dragon Emperor.

Believing Mo Hua was "afraid," the Dragon Emperor immediately sneered:

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

"You would be wise to stop now. Kneel, kowtow before me, and swear to be my slave. Only then might I spare your life. Otherwise, the ultimate karma will find you, and you will be utterly annihilated!"

Mo Hua’s expression darkened once more.

He was always susceptible to kindness but stubborn against threats.

Had the old worm spoken reasonably, Mo Hua might have let him go if he was in a good mood.

But what was this? Threatening him? Intimidating him? Still planning to kill him?

Was this ruler so pampered in his high position that he had no concept of his own mortality?

Mo Hua let out a soft chuckle. "Imperial offspring of the Great Wilderness? Today, I’ll teach you what it means to be born in hardship and to 'die' in luxury."

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

Before he could argue further, Mo Hua reached out and snapped his neck.

Then, his right hand manifested a short sword of Divine Thought, shimmering with a mysterious, starlit black hue.

Condensed upon this blade was the Dao of the Heavenly Demon from the Taishang Emotion Cutting technique.

Having achieved Divine Thought Formation, Mo Hua’s mastery of the "Divine Thought into sword" technique had reached a new peak. He could now independently infuse the laws of the Heavenly Demon Slash into the blade.

In essence, this "Divine Thought sword" was now a "Heavenly Demon Sword."

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

He had used a similar method to separate the Evil Embryo from Lord Yellow Mountain back at Gushan Temple.

With his Divine Sense now significantly stronger and his sword sharper, bisecting a Great Wilderness Dragon Emperor—who was weaker than the Evil Embryo—was effortless.

A flash of golden and black light crossed the air.

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 patience for his nonsense, Mo Hua pinched the soul to death with his small hand.

All that remained was the pure "Dragon Soul."

A wisp of light blue light, radiating inherent majesty—an unyielding Azure Dragon Soul—rested in Mo Hua’s palm.

Staring at this pure Dragon Soul, a thought spontaneously entered Mo Hua’s mind:

"Can this dragon be 'eaten'?"

Once the idea surfaced, it spread like wildfire, completely dominating Mo Hua’s mind.

The Dragon Soul was exceptionally pure, brimming with Dragon Power and pulsing with a powerful telekinetic energy.

Mo Hua began to drool from the corner of his mouth.

He tried to resist for a brief moment, but the temptation was too great. Opening his mouth wide, he swallowed the entire Dragon Soul in one gulp.
