Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2279 Chapter 1052: Demon Valley (Part 2)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
The script appeared chaotic, the framework intricate, and the designs cryptic, profoundly abstract.
A lone formation pattern could be grasped, at least identified as Second Grade, yet assembled together, it turned into an utter Heavenly Book, leaving them clueless about the significance of any stroke or motif...
"Is this the realm of a Formation strongman..."
All eyes turned to Mo Hua, filled with hidden astonishment.
Outwardly, all seemed human, yet their minds clearly hailed from different "species."
Ordinary folks simply shouldn't, and couldn't, decipher these "abstract" formation patterns.
Disciples of the Ten Thousand Formations Sect, steeped in formations and certified as Second Grade Formation Masters, still felt their minds reel and chests tighten upon scrutinizing the casual lines and patterns Mo Hua had sketched.
In that instant, profound self-doubt surged within them.
Questioning if they had truly delved into formations previously...
Questioning if they had genuinely earned their Second Grade Formation Master assessments...
How could this evidently Second Grade formation diagram seem so alien and baffling?
"Are formations sketched in this manner?"
"Were all the formations we studied before counterfeit?"
In the prior sword discourse, such sensations hadn't struck so deeply.
Yet now, beside Mo Hua, observing him probe formations—particularly Large Formation principles—the shock hit like a thunderbolt, scorching their brains.
Countless onlookers reeled in awe, struggling to regain composure for ages... Thus, time drifted onward.
Mo Hua stayed utterly immersed, dissecting the Evil Path Great Formation. He skipped the malevolent aspects of the Large Formation, gradually refining its formation pivot framework bit by bit.
Its broad contour, akin to a tree's sprawling branches, got meticulously recreated by Mo Hua on Formation Paper through wild yet insightful strokes.
The core framework of this vast Large Formation sharpened further within Mo Hua's Sea of Consciousness.
However, as computations progressed, Mo Hua's forehead creased deeper.
"Unable to compute the whole thing?"
The deduced formation centered on his present spot as the pivot, radiating outward to cover nearly all of Yanluo Mountain's large formation layout.
Yet this segment failed to complete a formation pivot loop.
Indicating Yanluo Mountain's Large Formation formed just a portion of the full Evil Path Great Formation.
The complete Evil Path Great Formation dwarfed Mo Hua's earlier estimates in scale.
Yanluo Mountain itself served only as a "compound formation block" in the grand Evil Path Great Formation.
This stretched beyond Mo Hua's prior encounters with large formations.
It diverged entirely from the First Grade Five Elements Slaughter Demon Great Formation he had once built.
"No surprise it borders on Third Grade Large Formation..."
Mo Hua let out a faint sigh.
Despite his exceptional Divine Sense talent and formation expertise, grasping it proved immensely taxing.
Mo Hua leafed through the Evil Formation Master's "remnants," spotting a phrase on a tattered ancient formation diagram shard:
"Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice."
Mo Hua's heart skipped subtly.
"Could this be the large formation's title? Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation..."
Those terms exuded an archaic, overwhelming malevolent vibe—reeking of gore and savagery.
Desolate Heaven Blood "Sacrifice"...
The emphasis likely lay on "Sacrifice," rendering such a ritual formation distinct from typical large formations, surpassing his formation realm knowledge...
Mo Hua's brows knit ever tighter.
He grasped that he had still misjudged this Evil Path Great Formation's depth.
Vaster and more labyrinthine than anticipated, it concealed profound formation enigmas unyielding to shallow probes—like a single traversal or pattern-based reverse deduction of the pivot structure...
Mo Hua persisted in patient scrutiny a bit longer.
The large formation's silhouette crystallized sharper in his thoughts.
But progress halted there.
The gathered Evil Formation Diagrams looted from the Evil Formation Master no longer sufficed for deeper
probe.
Inadvertently, Mo Hua recalled the quartet of Golden Core Evil Formation Masters in the hidden pivot chamber, imbibing with twisted gazes.
These four Golden Core Evil Formation Masters oversaw vital core pivots and undoubtedly held greater Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation secrets.
"Slay them, ransack them, then probe the deeper confidential pivots
myself?"
Temptation stirred in Mo Hua, yet after brief reflection, he quelled his killing urge.
Third Grade Golden Core marked a whole new realm, a fresh Tao domain.
Furthermore, as Yanluo Mountain was Third Grade land, within it,
Golden Core Realm experts—Evil Formation Masters especially—escaped Heavenly Dao suppression. They unleashed full cultivation power, wielding the sinister Third Grade evil formation with insidious
horror.
Particularly as this was the Evil Formation Masters' bastion.
Four Golden Core Evil Formation Masters no less...
Mo Hua refused to gamble.
Though commanding roughly hundreds of Qianxue Sect's Heavenly Pride disciples now, bolstered by his Divine Thought sword, he might fell those four Golden Core Evil Formation Masters in battle if
forced.
Yet casualties were inevitable.
Precise toll hinged on tactics, fortune, and those four Golden Core Evil Formation
Masters' prowess.
Critically, Mo Hua had shied from rashly scouting the four Evil Formation Masters out of caution, leaving their precise realms unknown.
Should they merely be Early Golden Core,
it wouldn't spell disaster.
But with one or two at mid-to-late Golden Core, disaster loomed larger.
In true combat, droves of Heavenly Pride disciples from various sects could
perish.
