Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2066 Chapter 985: God-slaying Unleashed

Deep within a secluded forest to the north of the Taixu Gate Disciple's Residence, a quiet scene unfolded.

Ancient trees reached toward the sky as the bright sun filtered through lush, green foliage. A gentle mist clung to the scenery, illuminated by golden sunlight to create a tranquil and picturesque atmosphere.

Alone in this forest, Mo Hua was immersed in his practice, focusing on transforming his Divine Thought into a sword.

At the edge of the woods, the Big White dog sat with a sense of pride, its eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly as it stood guard for Mo Hua.

In the dog's mind, Mo Hua had already earned the status of "big brother."

Having developed its own sense of awareness, it had volunteered to be the "little follower," patrolling the perimeter of the grove to ensure no one interrupted Mo Hua’s sword practice.

However, there was another reason for its distance.

Whenever Mo Hua practiced his sword, the resulting oscillations of Divine Thought became so terrifying that the Big White dog couldn't endure them, forcing it to retreat to the forest's edge for safety.

Within the grove, facing a massive ancient tree, Mo Hua stood perfectly still.

His gaze sharpened as his powerful intent manifested into a brilliant Sword Intent. It tore through the air, striking the trunk of the ancient tree before him.

One sword strike followed another amidst a swirling aura of killing intent.

Unsettling fluctuations of Divine Thought rose and fell throughout the forest.

Because Divine Thought is formless and invisible to the naked eye, the forest appeared peaceful and sun-drenched from the outside. Aside from a passing mountain breeze, there was no sign of the Forbidden Sword Skill of Taixu Gate being unleashed, nor the surging Divine Thought Slaughter Mo Hua was channeling.

Only the Big White dog, lingering at the forest boundary, felt the occasional waves of intense anxiety.

After a long session, Mo Hua sat down to rest, mentally reviewing his progress and shaking his head in disappointment.

"It is still not quite right..."

His previous assumptions were correct: only by perfecting the Divine Sense formation and further solidifying his Divine Thought foundation could the Godslaying Sword be properly projected externally.

While his Godslaying Sword had indeed left his body and possessed a basic Power of Killing, the execution was clumsy.

Consequently, the flaws were numerous.

To begin with, the technique was far too slow, and it drained his Divine Thought excessively.

The Godslaying Sword represents the ultimate form of the Taixu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue, far surpassing the Soul-Shocking Sword in power.

Furthermore, Mo Hua's version was a "hotchpotch" blade—a blend of various Daos, including sword formations for severing gold and opening mountains, Li Fire, Gui Water, and the Tai Xu Sword Intent. He had even mixed in the Supreme Emotion-cutting Dao.

Integrating so many different Sword Dao laws not only delayed the release of the sword but also placed a massive burden on his Divine Thought.

Essentially, Mo Hua found himself needing to recover after only two strikes.

Additionally, his eyes suffered from a sharp, intense pain.

When the Godslaying Sword leaves the body, the eye apertures must bear the weight of the Sword of Divine Thought.

Mo Hua’s physical body was naturally frail. Even though he now possessed a Divine Thought Formation, his cultivation and physical form remained at the Foundation Establishment stage.

His Divine Thought grew powerful, yet his body remained weak.

Thus, whenever the Sword of Divine Thought exited his body, the pressure on his eyeballs became nearly unbearable.

Moreover, the light produced by transforming Divine Thought into a sword was inherently sharp.

Maintaining that sword light within his eyes felt like being pierced by needles, causing a stinging agony.

The final issue was the low success rate of manifesting the Godslaying Sword externally.

Despite practicing dozens of times since the morning, he failed to successfully project the sword every time.

The process required multitasking—first condensing the intent and then releasing it—and often the form of the Godslaying Sword would simply dissolve.

The Sea of Consciousness exists between reality and illusion, and the eye apertures mark the boundary between inside and out. Occasionally, the Sword of Divine Thought would get caught on these barriers, unable to exit.

Even when it did emerge, a lack of subsequent Divine Sense or unstable Divine Thought would cause the Sword Intent to vanish before the strike could be completed.

Mo Hua gave a soft sigh.

Using an illusory Sword of Divine Thought to slay physical enemies in the real world seemed powerful, but the practical application was riddled with complications.

He hadn't even reached proficiency yet, making it useless for actual combat or life-and-death struggles.

Nevertheless, Mo Hua did not lose heart.

Cultivation was always this way.

Every spell point is merely a "law" or an external "skill."

Even after learning and mastering the theory, applying it in practice remains a significant challenge.

Therefore, after studying spell points, one must engage in constant practice and real-world application to correct and refine their technique.

Only through this process can one's understanding deepen, leading to true mastery and seamless integration.

Once fully integrated, a cultivator can wield their hard-earned sword moves and spell points with confidence and composure, even in the heat of a life-and-death battle.

Mo Hua quieted his mind and began to contemplate deeply.

Drawing upon his knowledge of cultivation, his experiences, and his grasp of Divine Thought, he pondered how to gradually optimize the process of projecting the Godslaying Sword.

The forest remained peaceful, the leaves a vibrant green.

Dappled sunlight fell across Mo Hua's form as he sat in silence. His Divine Sense became focused, merging with the surrounding woods.

As he meditated, an idea began to take shape.

"Because the transformation of Divine Thought into a sword is too intense and cluttered with too many formations and Daos, it has become a burden... I shouldn't be greedy. I need to simplify it."

"I will only use the Five Elements Sword Formation to power the Godslaying Sword's exit."

"I can add some Tai Xu Sword Intent later as I see fit."

"As for the Supreme Emotion-cutting Dao, I will set it aside for now..."

That particular path had been suggested by Patriarch Dugu.

However, Mo Hua wasn't even certain if the entity who spoke to him was truly Patriarch Dugu.

The events at the back mountain were shrouded in mystery, and he couldn't see the full truth.

Therefore, despite the immense power of the Supreme Emotion-cutting Dao, its suspicious origin and eerie nature made it too risky to use openly for the time being.

By removing these elements, the difficulty of projecting his Divine Thought from his body was nearly cut in half.
