Mo Hua learns of a devastating plan to seal the Qianxue State Boundary with a grand blood sacrifice formation. This ritual will trap cultivators inside, raise an army of demons, and awaken an Evil God, threatening to consume the entire region and corrupt its resources. Mo Hua, deeply troubled by the potential catastrophe, continues to work on the formation while contemplating the dire consequences.

"The suffering of all living beings is not mere rhetoric."

Should Mr. Tu's grand scheme come to fruition, many individuals known to Mo Hua could face their demise.

Places like Solitary Mountain City and Mistwater River, alongside countless scattered cultivators, would be annihilated.

Within the Taoist Court, figures such as Uncle Gu, Sister Xia, and Enforcement Leaders Gu An and Gu Quan, with whom Mo Hua shares connections, would perish.

The various sects residing in Qianxue would also be subjected to a brutal massacre, leading to the deaths of innumerable disciples, and potentially even the Taixu Gate itself could be erased from existence.

The leaders, elders, and disciples across each peak of Taixu Gate, including his own junior brothers, would likely meet a tragic end.

This would herald the calamitous arrival of the Evil God, a catastrophic transformation across the world.

Mo Hua harbors no desire for those he knows to die, nor does he wish for so many innocent cultivators to be lost.

But what viable options remain for him?

A deep furrow formed on Mo Hua's brow.

Given the current circumstances, even the Heaven Void Ancestors of the Qianxue sects, if they hadn't already been alerted, should now possess some level of awareness.

However, their observation is from outside the grand formation, not with the intimate perspective he possesses, trapped within the enemy's stronghold and actively drawing formations for Mr. Tu.

It is certain they are devising numerous countermeasures against Mr. Tu.

While these measures might not guarantee success, they would undoubtedly impose significant pressure upon Mr. Tu.

Yet, it is apparent that these actions are still insufficient.

What else can be done...

Mo Hua's frown deepened, his fingers instinctively sketching a formation pattern in the air.

It was the design of a twenty-pattern formation.

A Second Grade Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation!

This formidable ultimate formation had, through relentless effort day and night, already been mastered by Mo Hua during the Shura conflict.

He had simply refrained from utilizing it until this moment.

His initial intention was straightforward: to detonate the Blood Sacrifice Array and eliminate all the demon cultivators present.

The Blood Sacrifice Array absolutely could not be allowed to persist.

Likewise, the demon cultivators had to be eradicated.

This was not solely due to the impending torment of all living beings, but also because he personally contributed to the drawing of certain formation patterns and the pivotal components of this Blood Sacrifice Array.

During the Ten Thousand Demons Gathering, numerous demon leaders recognized his face, confirming his involvement in the assembly.

This constitutes undeniable 'evidence'.

Furthermore, should the Blood Sacrifice Array reach its completion and full activation, allowing the Evil God to truly manifest and unleash its torment upon all existence.

Then, amidst the countless massacres that would ensue, his own karmic retribution would be irrevocably bound.

Whether by intent or by coercion, he would be counted among the 'perpetrators' responsible for the bloodshed and the suffering of all living things.

This also served as one of the reasons Mr. Tu was willing to impart formation knowledge to him and permit his deep involvement in the construction of the Blood Sacrifice Formation.

Aware of the principles of karma, Mo Hua could not possibly remain ignorant of such consequences.

He could not possibly bear the burden of such massacres.

Therefore, the Blood Sacrifice Array must be dismantled.

As for the demon leaders who witnessed his presence, even if it was their misfortune, none could be permitted to escape.

Regarding the method, the actions taken during the Ten Thousand Demons Gathering had already served as a 'lesson' from his uncle; he simply needed to replicate them.

The sole impediment lay in the fact that, in terms of cultivation, abilities, and mastery of formations, he was vastly inferior to his uncle.

What his uncle had accomplished was simply beyond his current capacity.

Especially in the realm of formations.

Mo Hua's knowledge of the Reversed Spirit Formation did provide him with the equivalent of 'explosives' at his disposal.

However, dealing with a Quasi-Third Grade Blood Sacrifice Array presented immense challenges: determining the placement of these 'explosives', orchestrating their detonation, and ensuring a successful escape afterward involved an intricate classification of formation patterns, large-scale operational complexities, multiple adjustments to the core pivots, and a circulation of spiritual power far too convoluted for his present formation skills.

Moreover, the most significant obstacle remained Mr. Tu himself.

How could he possibly deceive Mr. Tu?

Mr. Tu, a cultivator of the Feathered Immortal realm, a Fourth-grade Evil Formation Master, the most devoted subordinate of the Great Wilderness Evil God, and the chief Formation Master overseeing the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation. Mo Hua held no illusions that his subtle manipulations would escape Mr. Tu's discerning gaze. He could even confidently assert that any minor alteration, even the slightest adjustment to a single formation pattern, would be immediately detected by Mr. Tu.

Under Mr. Tu's watchful eyes, engaging in any direct action seemed utterly unfeasible. The notion of deceiving him appeared entirely impossible.

Mo Hua's gaze sharpened, his mind sinking into deep contemplation.

Despite exhausting every avenue of thought, no satisfactory solution presented itself in that moment.

Under Mr. Tu's strict supervision, the progression of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice could not be halted; it was mandated to proceed meticulously according to the established plan.

The most that Mo Hua could achieve was a marginal delay in its advancement; however, this would merely serve as a temporary palliative, not a fundamental resolution.

The destined day is drawing near indeed.

Mo Hua rose to his feet, observing the scene from atop the ancient beast skeleton. His gaze swept over the sturdy and imposing giant beast bones, then fixed upon the colossal heart used for blood sacrifice, before continuing downwards to the river of blood that submerged the massive heart.

Following that, his eyes descended further, taking in the earth veins, now tainted by the Evil Power that lay beneath the blood-soaked river.

A subtle resonance began to stir within Mo Hua's heart.

This was the resonance stemming from the Earth Dao Meaning.

It represented a sliver of connection to the earth, achieved upon comprehending the Thick Earth Ultimate Formation and enlightening the Great Dao.

At this precise moment, this faint resonance vibrated the very strings of Mo Hua's heart.

Within the resonance, the former warmth and tolerance were absent, replaced instead by an anger steeped in blood, a profound unwillingness, and the desperate wails and mournful cries of all living beings.

Blood continues its ceaseless flow.

Earth veins lament and grieve.

Mo Hua observed the bloodied earth veins, as if peering into the profound depths of Earth's Dao Meaning, his eyes reflecting deep sympathy and sorrow.

Qian Learning State Boundary.

Behold, True Man Situ, his hair now completely white, was seated within the Beidou Seven Stars Formation. Enveloped by the ethereal glow of starlight, he activated the formation and channeled the Power of Stars, endeavoring to locate the aura of Mr. Tu. His intent was to eliminate Mr. Tu and thus avert future calamities.

Suddenly, the heavenly secrets shifted, and a wisp of karma materialized. True Man Situ's heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, he drew a single strand of starlight, placing it upon his forehead. With the might of the Seven Stars Bright God, he began to divine with his fingers, his expression dramatically altering as he foresaw that which was yet to come.
