Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2307 Chapter 1061: City of Flesh and Blood
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
A blood river surges, over the massive solitary cliff.
Mo Hua, drawing on his own power, employs Divine Thought to manipulate Spiritual
Ink, akin to a "tentacle monster," sketching formations at astonishing speed in line with Mr. Tu's "intentions."
One formation after another gets imprinted onto the cliff's foundation.
The Blood Sacrifice Array's cornerstone assembles piece by piece, steadily taking shape.
Thanks to Mo Hua, this merciless "formation machine," the building inside the Large Formation speeds up.
Mr. Tu at last frees up personnel, pulling additional Evil Formation Masters from within to deploy at the Large Formation's periphery—the "front line" of the clash between Righteous and Demon Paths—to extend the Blood Sacrifice Array's reach and widen the Evil God's domain.
Learning from previous mistakes, Mr. Tu this time assigns even more protective Demon Cultivators with the Evil Formation Masters, over twice the previous number.
Qianxue's might looms large, the Taoist Court wields immense power.
These protective Demon Cultivators might not fully repel the Taoist Court's Golden Core Realm lackeys in assassination or encirclement.
Yet they can stall the assault, granting the Evil Formation Masters time to finish their formation "tasks," and that suffices.
Should the task conclude, even if Gu Changhuai slaughters every one of these Evil Formation Masters, it matters not.
Sacrificing their lives, spilling liver and brains, marks their utmost honor; they should take pride in it.
Inside the Blood Sacrifice Array, Mo Hua ceaselessly etches formations.
The Blood Sacrifice Array keeps functioning and refining itself.
And along the Large Formation's edge, Righteous and Demon Path cultivators focus on the "Evil Formation Masters," unleashing wave after wave of assaults and massacres...
All proceeds just as Mr. Tu foresaw, with the tide starting to turn.
The Blood Sacrifice Array's advancement, once halted by Qianxue's assorted forces, now surges past hurdles through Mo Hua's efforts, inching forward steadily and surely...
To the right of the Blood Sacrifice Array foundation lies a hidden chamber.
Mr. Tu and Shangguan Wang watch Mo Hua nearby, who despite his cunning works tirelessly on formations.
"Mr. Tu," Shangguan Wang said with a frown, "are you really comfortable letting this boy handle these formations?"
Mr. Tu replied indifferently, "Only he can manage this..."
In the whole Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Array, profound
Righteous Dao formation experts number few.
And none outpace Mo Hua in formation-drawing speed.
Mr. Tu could handle it too, but only by leveraging Feather Transformation Realm Divine Sense and Fourth-grade Formation Master skill to depict low-grade arrays from above.
It pales against Mo Hua, the Foundation Establishment Realm prodigy wielding Divine Sense to guide ink for Second Grade High-Level Formations like some freak.
Besides, with the Divine Lord's resurrection imminent, Mr. Tu has weightier duties and won't stoop to personally inking these rudimentary formations.
Shangguan Wang burns with envy and resentment, sensing a budding threat, his eyes chilling:
"This boy won't stay loyal to the Divine Lord."
Mr. Tu eyed Shangguan Wang, smiling faintly as he asked: "Elder Wang, are you truly devoted to the Divine Lord?"
Shangguan Wang's expression darkened.
Mr. Tu stated calmly, "The Divine Lord demands strictness but offers mercy. So long as you serve the Divine Lord faithfully, petty schemes or self-interests won't draw blame."
This both addresses Mo Hua and warns Shangguan Wang.
Shangguan Wang's eyes narrowed, he sneered: "I just worry this vile boy might bring harm to Mr. Tu!"
He sows division, which Mr. Tu clearly grasps, yet his face stays impassive, offering no reply.
Shangguan Wang shot Mr. Tu a piercing look, then intoned gravely:
"Those outside our Dao harbor different hearts."
"This boy remains a Taixu Gate disciple after all. Mr. Tu, do you truly fear not that he'll betray us and sabotage our grand scheme?"
Mr. Tu regarded Shangguan Wang coolly, inwardly grasping why Shangguan Wang fell short against Shang Che in the Shangguan Family head contest.
His foresight proves too narrow, bereft of the breadth to embrace talents.
Great endeavors demand tolerance for others, foes unto death included.
Only through such accommodation can one harness their worth.
Yet, Shangguan Wang possesses certain uses, compelling Mr. Tu to endure his
petty nature.
Certain matters demand clear articulation.
"Elder Wang," Mr. Tu declared gravely, "Cultivators judge deeds, not motives.
No one can peer into your mind, nor do they concern themselves with your inner thoughts,
they focus solely on your actions."
"Court Officials punish crimes by 'actions,' not 'thoughts."
"Deeds hold greater weight than mere thoughts."
"And right now..." Mr. Tu gestured outward, "What is Mo Hua up to?"
Shangguan Wang furrowed his brow.
Mr. Tu flashed a wicked grin, "He's inscribing... the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation!"
"Though he's sketching the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation, a Righteous Dao array, these are all nested within the Blood Sacrifice Array, so what he's creating is unmistakably the Evil Path Great
Formation!"
"Taixu Gate prodigy, Qianxue Array Dao Leader, etching the Blood Sacrifice Array for us. No matter his intentions or reluctance, he shatters Taixu Gate's precepts, defies the state's laws, violates the Taoist Court's edicts, perpetrating an irredeemable crime..."
"Moreover, once the Blood Sacrifice Array activates fully, rivers of blood will flow, flesh will pile into mountains, demons will ravage all life,
countless souls will perish."
"The karma of slain cultivators and beasts will haunt him forever, the blood staining his hands impossible to wash away."
