Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2245 Chapter 1041: Explosion! (Part 2)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
It is not that his opponents lack strength; rather, the formation techniques employed by Mo Hua are uniquely formidable.
Even a powerful strike from his Dragon Cauldron Body Refining Skill merely managed to degrade a few Formation Patterns, failing to actually collapse the formation itself.
Shattering his defenses requires a significant expenditure of effort.
Ao Zhan's gaze wavered, yet he was reluctant to persist with his assault, choosing instead to step aside and wait for others to initiate the next wave.
He had no desire to deplete his precious Spiritual Power while dismantling Mo Hua's intricate formations.
With a contemptuous sneer, Shen Linsu unsheathed his longsword and ignited his purple-gold Jinlin Sword Qi, launching a fierce assault against Mo Hua's barrier.
Following closely were Duanmu Qing's devastating Spells, Xiao Wuchen's lethal Heavenly Sword Technique, and finally, the Daluo Unification Sword Skill from Ye Qingfeng.
These four prodigies, joined by the Daluo Sect's Big Senior Brother Ye Qingfeng, took consecutive turns battering the formation.
For a brief interval, intense ripples of Spiritual Power erupted, and the luminescence of the Compound Formation began to flicker as the inner patterns neared disintegration, with fissures multiplying across its surface...
Buried deep within the valley, Mo Hua remained utterly composed, single-mindedly focused on Drawing Formation, oblivious to the chaos surrounding him.
As the Four Talents of Qianxue collaborated to breach the defense, the onlookers outside erupted in exclamations:
"To compel the likes of Shen Linsu and the top four prodigies to unite against his singular formation, Mo Hua surely has reason to stand proud."
"Indeed..."
"He is truly worthy of the title, Formation Leader of the Qian Learning State Boundary, among a multitude of sects..."
The crowd could only continue to marvel in awe.
Up to this point, the potency of Mo Hua's formations had far eclipsed their current understanding.
They lacked the depth to decipher the complexities of the Formation Dao; even when they wished to offer praise, they struggled to find the words, eventually settling for a single, heavy sigh:
Worthy of being the Formation Leader.
Then, a voice cut through the air:
"With the Four Talents finally acting, this Shura battle is nearing its inevitable conclusion."
"Following the destruction of the Taixu Gate, the Four Talents and Ye Qingfeng of the Daluo Sect will finalize the victory."
"Who would have thought the resolution of this Shura encounter would manifest so rapidly."
"Now, we only wait to see how much longer the Taixu Gate can withstand the pressure..."
As the Four Talents of Qianxue intensified their combined assault, the internal Formation Patterns dimmed and fractured, causing the Sealing Mountain Formation to gradually lose its integrity.
The Taixu Sect Leader, the Elders, and various disciples—including Wenren Wan, Yu Er, Zhang Lan, Gu Changhuai, Murong Caiyun, Hua Qianqian, and others acquainted with Mo Hua—could not suppress their rising anxiety.
Mo Hua and his companions had displayed monumental strength.
Tragically, however, their adversaries were equally monstrous in capability.
Sure enough, after thirty minutes, a deafening crack shook the earth, and the defensive layer failed completely.
The Sealing Mountain Compound Formation was shattered, and the barrier shielding the path was breached.
The imposing and arrogant Ao Zhan was the first to stride into the valley.
He was trailed by the prestigious Shen Linsu of the Qian Taoist Sect, the icy and beautiful Duanmu Qing of the Wanxiao Sect, the ethereal Xiao Wuchen of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the composed Ye Qingfeng of the Daluo Sect.
Behind them, a tide of over a hundred elites from the Four Great Sects and Seven Great Gates surged forward, effectively surrounding the Taixu Gate.
The situation seemed to have regressed to a familiar state.
The Taixu Gate stood once more against a hundred prodigies of Qianxue.
Yet, the caliber of the enemy was vastly different this time.
They faced not only the four preeminent Bloodline prodigies of Qianxue but also the Big Senior Brother of the Daluo Sect, backed by the true core elites of the Four Great Sects.
While the numbers were comparable, their actual combat potential was vastly amplified.
This was, in every sense, the concentrated essence of the most elite disciples across the Four Great Sects and Seven Great Gates in the entirety of the present Qian Learning State Boundary.
The sheer presence of this group of prodigies was suffocating.
Conversely, the Taixu Gate stood isolated and outnumbered.
Following the brutal prior engagements, even with the protective benefits of Mo Hua's Five Elements Source Armor, the Taixu Gate had suffered a loss of ten warriors.
Only twenty members remained to hold the line.
Twenty against a force exceeding one hundred—and with the Four Talents of Qianxue leading the charge—it was a truly despair-inducing scenario.
Yet, at that moment, the gathered hundred-plus prodigies hesitated, refraining from reckless movement.
Before them laid a sprawling, intricate tapestry of dense formations.
Every single one of these barriers was a masterpiece crafted by Mo Hua, composed entirely of Second Grade High-Level Formations and supplemented by complex Compound Formations that saturated the entire valley floor.
And there sat Mo Hua, still perched atop a massive boulder.
The remaining twenty disciples of the Taixu Gate stood steadfast, forming a wall of flesh and blood to shield him.
They were enveloped by layers of dense array formations.
The message was clear: to reach and eliminate Mo Hua, one must first annihilate the disciples of the Taixu Gate and trample over their lifeless forms.
And even to reach those disciples, they would be forced to carve a blood-soaked path through Mo Hua's impenetrable arrays.
Faced with such an overwhelming concentration of defensive formations, the disciples of the Four Sects and Seven Gates felt their scalps draw tight.
They could barely fathom the truth.
How vast must Mo Hua's Divine Sense be to construct such a massive array in so little time?
Is he truly only at the Foundation Building level?
However, the gravity of kill-or-be-killed left no room for idle speculation.
Shen Linsu merely offered a singular directive:
"Attack..."
At his command, the prodigies from the Four Sects and Seven Gates began their charge, flooding toward Mo Hua's formations with the intent to slaughter all who stood within.
As they crossed into the perimeter, jagged stones erupted from the earth, constructing towering barriers.
Earthen prisons manifested, locking them into ironclad cells.
Quicksand pools opened beneath their feet, acting as lethal snares.
Vines and thorns sprouted with unnatural speed, entangling their strides.
These elements—the stones, the prisons, the quicksand, and the foliage—were physical manifestations of the Spiritual Power channeled through the formations. Being Second Grade Nineteen Patterns, they were nearing the potency of the Golden Core realm, possessing a tangible, physical presence.
These arrays functioned as immovable fortresses, grinding the advance of the Qianxue prodigies to a halt.
Trapped within the layers of defensive and restrictive formations, the prodigies of Qianxue were forced into a grueling battle, struggling for every inch.
