The Golden Corpse within the blood-patterned coffin suddenly awakened with earth-shaking roars, nearly breaking free despite the half-corpse Feather Transformation Demon Head of Yin Corpse Valley's efforts to reseal it. Detecting a rare Corpse King aura in Mo Hua, the demon claimed him as bearing Yin Corpse Valley's heritage, sparking a confrontation with the Sword Slave elder of Demon Sword Sect who sought Taixu Gate's lost Sword Dao from the youth. Mr. Tu intervened, deferring the dispute until the Divine Lord's descent and refocusing the Ten Thousand Demons Gathering on activating the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation. Afterward, Mr. Tu confined Mo Hua in the Great Wilderness Prison dungeon, where he reflected on the karmic mysteries and plotted against the encroaching threats.

Even more so since this aids Mo Hua, Fan Jin brimmed with vigor, refusing to display the slightest negligence.

Preparations were flawlessly organized, and every face bore a stern resolve.

Gu Changhuai nodded his approval, then all activated their Concealment Spiritual Tools, infiltrating the Large Formation through weaknesses spotted by Elder Master Xun, dodging the Demon and Monster Earth Veins, slaying enemies along the path, until they reached the Formation Pivot.

A gore-drenched stone chamber housed the Formation Pivot.

True to expectations, twenty to thirty Evil Formation Masters filled the chamber, diligently employing human blood as ink and white bones as canvas to etch Evil Formations, steadily pushing forward the Blood Sacrifice Array's construction.

Gu Changhuai remained silent, unsheathed his longsword, and with a single fluid strike, severed an Evil Formation Master's head cleanly.

Xia Canonical Official lunged with his sword, sealing the throat with icy blood. Fan Jin hefted his massive hammer, smashing with tiger-like ferocity.

The rest of the Golden Core Stewards charged into battle as well.

Those twenty to thirty Evil Formation Masters suffered throats slashed by Ice Swords, chests crushed by twin hammers, bodies exploded by spells, necks snapped... all extinguished in a flash.

Gu Changhuai torched their corpses before pulling back.

Evil Thoughts surged wildly inside the Large Formation, Blood Qi thickened the air, and hordes of blood-flesh demon monsters roamed endlessly; they couldn't risk staying longer.

Along the retreat, several Golden Core Demon Cultivators attempted to obstruct them but failed, with a few cut down.

Once the Taoist Court officials withdrew, they paused briefly beyond the Mistwater River.

Gu Changhuai ignited the sandalwood incense from Elder Master Xun to soothe minds and purge evil influences, then guided the group to the next spot for continued slaughter of Evil Formation Masters...

Gu Changhuai struck covertly with brutal efficiency, wiping out one batch after another, shifting positions, and dooming every Evil Formation Master.

Mr. Tu was finally cornered.

In the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation's Evil God Temple, within a hidden chamber.

Mr. Tu's ashen face twisted into a savage grimace. "It's that accursed Gu Changhuai, butchering my Formation Masters..."

Shangguan Wang spoke icily, "How is the Taoist Court locating these Evil Formation Masters so precisely? Who betrayed the information?"

Mr. Tu's gaze pierced sharply, "Gu Changhuai... he conquered Yanluo Mountain earlier, undoubtedly seizing the Blood Sacrifice Array's Formation Diagram materials and inferring key details..."

Shangguan Wang's brows knitted tightly.

Gu Changhuai might lack formation knowledge, yet the Qian Learning State Boundary teems with array prodigies, particularly Elder Master Xun of Taixu Gate, a Fifth Grade Array Grandmaster whose skills defy comprehension.

With the Blood Sacrifice Array sealed tight and no Formation Diagram leak, Elder Master Xun couldn't unravel much.

But should the Formation Diagram escape, offering Spirit Traces as clues, Elder Master Xun's mastery enables effortless deduction of segments of the Large Formation's design.

Especially its outer layers, which stay somewhat rough-hewn.

Grasping that portion exposes the Formation Masters' spots directly to the Taoist Court's blade.

Shangguan Wang's visage darkened profoundly.

In this scheme brewed over ages, the Formation Masters prove vital beyond measure.

Should too many Evil Formation Masters fall, the Large Formation fails full ignition, barring the Great Wilderness Divine Lord's revival and shattering his "eternal life" dream.

What's more, he relinquished his stature as a mighty Shangguan Family Elder.

Upon exposure, he'll harvest no fruits, face relentless hunts and assaults from the Great Families, reduced to a shadow-dwelling demon monster.

"Mr. Tu..." Shangguan Wang clenched his teeth, eyes streaked with blood, "we must...

plan ahead!"

Mr. Tu furrowed his brow as well.

He absolutely refused to see a millennium of grueling labor crumble in moments.

He couldn't tolerate mishaps in the Divine Lord's resurrection.

Failing that, he'd face the Great Wilderness Master's judgment, securing him a torment spot in the infinite Great Wilderness purgatory.

Yet the crisis at hand loomed disastrously severe.

The Sword Discussion Conference uproar forced a rushed activation of the Blood Sacrifice Array.

Though it ignited successfully, the formation lingers fundamentally flawed;

The formation remains unfinished.

In particular, the outer regions fail to link up completely via the Formation Pivot, unable to realize his earlier magnificent ambition or deliver a lethal strike against the Qian Learning State Boundary.

Thus, he had no choice but to drive his Evil Formation Masters to labor ceaselessly day and night.

The Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation spans too broadly and immensely; manpower was scarce from the start, and now that cursed Gu Changhuai has stepped in, slaying the Evil Formation Masters he nurtured with such effort.

Particularly at Yanluo Mountain, where seventy to eighty Evil Formation Masters fell, causing Mr. Tu's heart to ache fiercely.

Gu Changhuai continues his rampage even now.

Evil Formation Masters keep perishing.

Conditions grow ever more dire.

Should this persist, the moment the Large Formation grinds to a total halt,

all will be lost.

We need to devise methods to swiftly finish the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice

Array, allowing the Divine Lord to descend without delay...

Mr. Tu mused for a moment, his pupils trembling, before murmuring lowly:

"Right now, only one person can aid us..."

Shangguan Wang jolted at these words and inquired, "Who?" Mr. Tu's eyes narrowed as he uttered deliberately, syllable by syllable:

"Mo Hua..."

Shangguan Wang froze in shock for an instant.

He never imagined Mr. Tu esteemed Mo Hua so highly.

However...

Shangguan Wang furrowed his brow in contemplation, then scoffed, "You intend to depend on a mere Foundation Establishment Disciple to construct the Large Formation?" Mr. Tu shook his head, "He's no typical Foundation Establishment Disciple; he's the supreme formation genius across the Qian Learning State

Boundary..."

Shangguan Wang's face shifted subtly.

Memories of the Sword Discussion Conference surged in his thoughts, prompting Shangguan Wang to frown briefly, his features twisting into profound

unease.

Deep within the Great Wilderness Prison's dungeon.

Mo Hua continued examining the white bone hoop overhead when a sudden icy wave hit, chilling him to the bone. He looked toward the cell entrance and

sure enough, spotted the gaunt, towering Mr. Tu looming there like a spectral wraith.

"Little brother..."

Though Mr. Tu's tone stayed icy, his words turned far more polite, "This old man has a favor to ask of you."

"What is it?" Mo Hua questioned.

Mr. Tu cut to the chase, "Formation Painting." "Formation Painting?" Mo Hua echoed puzzledly, "What sort of formation?"

Mr. Tu's pupils tightened faintly, his voice grave and measured:

"Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation..."

Mo Hua's heart pounded wildly, skipping a beat. After steadying the thrill rushing through him, he rejected with a fiercely righteous glare:

"No, I refuse to paint it!"
