Mo Hua pried open the Divine Lock Formation, bypassing Mr. Tu's seal on the Great Wilderness sacred artifact. Venturing deeper, he traversed a pressurized Divine Lock passageway into a grand Divine Temple. There, a massive Pixiu Divine Beast soul swallowed him whole, but he fought back from within, emerging to confront the ancient guardian missing a tooth.

After being gulped down into the Pixiu's mouth, Mo Hua spotted this detail.

The Pixiu boasts four enormous fangs, accompanied by rows of tinier teeth lining both its upper and lower jaws.

The one absent is the final tooth in that upper row.

Mo Hua instinctively glanced upward, scrutinizing the Pixiu's massive head to confirm the missing tooth.

Yet this move thoroughly infuriated the Pixiu.

Uncertain if it stemmed from failing to "devour" Mo Hua and thus losing face.

Or perhaps the "missing tooth" stung at its pride, and Mo Hua's direct stare at it provoked deep irritation in the Pixiu.

A thunderous roar erupted from the Pixiu, infused with overwhelming divine might, as its gigantic head lunged straight at Mo Hua once again.

An oppressive aura bore down on Mo Hua, leaving him too intimidated to fight back—he recognized it as the "Divine Beast" suppression. Swiftly activating his Divine Marrow, he employed his deified body to counter the pressure, then with a shimmer of watery light, split into multiple shadows and vanished from view.

The Pixiu snapped at empty air, its eyes like copper bells widening as it watched the water light disperse, revealing Mo Hua several yards distant. With a guttural growl, it shook its enormous head, bared its crimson maw, and barreled toward Mo Hua anew.

Mo Hua had no intention of just awaiting his doom.

His eyes narrowed in focus; he raised his palm in the air, summoning the Li Mountain Fire Cremation Formation. Mountains of stone erupted, earthly flames roared to life, engulfing the Pixiu entirely.

The Pixiu recoiled in surprise, evidently astonished that such a small human could conjure a formation.

The Li Mountain Fire Cremation Formation took shape.

Mountain stone formed a prison that trapped the Pixiu, while fierce flames scorched its hide.

However, the Pixiu shattered the stone prison in an instant; those licking flames felt no more than a soothing soak, inflicting zero damage whatsoever.

The Pixiu shuddered its frame, eyes gleaming with faint contempt, as though sneering at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua's face hardened, his stare intensified, fist clenched in mid-air, unleashing the Sword Array that promptly forged a Sword of Divine Thought, which he hurled with full force.

Sword Qi cleaved through peaks, Five Elements Power surged wildly, hacking savagely at the Pixiu.

Still, this blade failed to wound the Pixiu, not even singeing a whisker.

Mo Hua's countenance shifted dramatically.

Could this really be a Divine Beast?

What rank does it hold? Why such overwhelming power?

Facing this might, even deploying the supreme version of the Taixu Divine Thought Slash God Sword would likely only graze its "skin and flesh" at best.

As if reading Mo Hua's mind, the Pixiu detected a hint of danger from his sword's edge.

This puny being dared to try injuring it.

Was it even capable?

Enraged, the Pixiu bellowed skyward, its eyes bursting with regal golden radiance, body aglow as archaic patterns surfaced—threads of Dao Laws intertwining to cloak it in a luminous golden robe.

Its dragon horns shimmered intensely, exuding unparalleled sovereign dignity.

Its eyes, vast as lanterns, ignited like searing suns, poised to incinerate all wickedness and cower every malevolent entity under heaven.

The Divine Beast's might expanded swiftly, blanketing the whole area.

Mo Hua found himself pinned by the Divine Beast's pressure.

Beneath those sun-like brilliant eyes, a holy, ancient energy pierced Mo Hua's Divine Soul, subjecting his spirit to the fierce roast of solar blaze.

This force disregarded cultivation realms or tiers, solely distinguishing virtue from vice, righteous from wicked.

"Could this be... the Divine Beast's Power of Laws?"

Mo Hua reeled in shock as the Pixiu's "judgment" power intensified, the searing energy coursing through him, bathing his

Divine Soul and evoking sensations of...

Heat, then warmth...

At first scorching and uneasy, yet soon it turned pleasantly warm, even cozy.

The Pixiu's Power of Laws resembled a refreshing "sunbath."

Mo Hua's eyes involuntarily narrowed.

He wasn't a Demon Cultivator or malevolent spirit.

Though his hands bore the blood of foes, every one he slew

carried grievous sins.

His Taoist Heart remained untainted, harboring childlike purity.

Grasping Heavenly Dao principles, aiding countless lives.

Throughout his path, he vanquished undead and fiends, deployed formations generously, rescuing

numerous souls.

Mo Hua seldom dwelled on such deeds, yet in the hidden realms, they accrued as Heavenly Dao merits, forging his destiny.

Thus, despite the Pixiu's potent "Evil Suppressing" ability—an inherent Power of Laws—it could never truly damage Mo Hua.

Of course, Mo Hua’s Divine Thought Power couldn’t damage even a single hair on the

Pixiu.

Likewise, the Pixiu’s Evil Suppressing power merely bestowed upon Mo Hua a

"sunbath."

The Pixiu felt stunned at first, then quickly grew bored.

It couldn’t seize him, couldn’t devour him, couldn’t swallow him whole. Even after expending such

effort and activating its innate ability, the Pixiu remained utterly helpless.

No Demon Monster, no evil spirit, not even a hint of "evil deeds."

The Pixiu slumped back down listlessly, completely uninterested in dealing with Mo

Hua anymore.

The Divine Beast’s majestic aura faded away, the Laws withdrew, and the Evil Suppressing power receded, causing that cozy warmth to disappear as well, leaving Mo Hua

a touch regretful and somewhat unsatisfied.

Fortunately, this thick-skulled Pixiu had ceased its hostility toward him.

Mo Hua truly had no intention of slaying this Pixiu.

Naturally, even if commanded to do so, he wouldn’t be capable.

This Pixiu defied any proper assessment; its overall might was horrifyingly immense,

and it commanded the force of Evil Suppressing Laws.

Even after decades or centuries of further cultivation, he likely couldn’t

stand against it.

The priority now wasn’t clashing with this Pixiu, but locating an exit

and fleeing this sealed domain at once.

Mo Hua started probing the Divine Temple for a way out. Free from the Pixiu’s obstruction, he swiftly discovered the Divine Temple, serving as the sacred seal’s exit.
