Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2352 - 1015: "Deicide" (2)

The ancestor of the Little Spirit Sect initiated various spells to eradicate the monstrous beings that hatched from nearby demonic eggs.

Meanwhile, the ancestors from the Daluo Sect and Kun State were occupied with restraining the renegade ancestor of the Xiao family.

Other Feathered Immortals also joined the fray, annihilating more and more of these demon monsters.

However, they restricted their attacks to the lesser demonic creatures, refraining from directly confronting Yu Er, referred to as the Evil Embryo.

This course of action was explicitly instructed by True Man Situ prior to their engagement.

It was decreed that only the Seven Stars Sword possessed the unique capability to slay the Evil Embryo.

Moreover, no other individual, regardless of their Divine Thought techniques or treasured artifacts, was permitted to make contact with the Evil Embryo's physical form, lest unpredictable and dire consequences ensue.

The Evil Embryo, identified as the very manifestation of the Evil God's descent and the embodiment of the Evil Path Law, could not be simply obliterated by ordinary Divine Thought power alone.

An improper attempt at its 'slaughter' could precipitate even more horrifying eventualities.

Such actions risked incurring unfathomable and terrifying karma.

This burden, this 'karma,' was destined to be borne solely by True Man Situ as he faced the 'deadly tribulation.'

This was his fated path.

It also represented one of the most significant challenges in the endeavor to slay the Evil God.

Consequently, the efforts of everyone else were directed towards eliminating the surrounding demon monsters, embryonic demons, and the Xiao family ancestor, thereby creating an opportune moment for True Man Situ.

The ancestor of the Spirit Talisman Sect also limited his actions to suppressing the Evil Embryo with a Soul Suppressing Talisman, likewise refraining from any direct attempt to 'kill' it.

A multitude of accompanying demon monsters emerged, slick with dark fluid, and surged towards the assembled cultivators.

The elder woman summoned the Six Ding and Six Jia, the Taoist wielded a Peach Wood Sword, the three brothers activated Qimen Dunjia, and the white-robed female True Man controlled the Three Pure Ones Bell, each employing their Divine Thought skills to vanquish the demon monsters and provide a protective cordon for True Man Situ.

True Man Situ, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, his own safety, and any sense of fear, remained undeterred.

His gaze was sharp and unyielding, fixed with singular purpose on the annihilation of the Evil God.

The immense divine might emanating from the surroundings exerted extreme pressure on his Primordial Spirit, causing it to feel as though it might fracture.

An all-encompassing aura of dread threatened to suffocate him.

Nevertheless, True Man Situ began chanting an incantation, drawing upon the protective energies of the Seven Stars Formation and the Red Gold Cup. He endured the colossal pressure, steadily advancing the Seven Stars Sword towards Yu Er's vitals.

Yu Er's countenance contorted with evident panic.

A piercing, chilling scream tore through the air instantaneously.

This shriek simultaneously shattered the nearby colossal embryonic demon eggs.

The demon eggs cracked with alarming speed, spewing forth ichor; amidst the roiling evil qi, two even more potent fetal demons burst forth from within.

One was a grotesque spider demon adorned with human faces.

Its visage was a horrifying mosaic of human features, its eyes burning scarlet, its body unnaturally pale, its limbs exposing bone, and its torso stitched with nightmarish and repellent human visages.

These tormented faces writhed and wailed, possessing the power to induce Primordial Spirit weakness and instill sheer terror upon mere observation.

The other was a creature known as a decaying fetal demon.

Distinguished by a large head and disproportionately sized ears, its body was composed of putrid flesh, from which vile pus continuously oozed.

This pus contained a potent 'corrupting' force; any contact would lead to the erosion of the Primordial Spirit through its foul effluvium.

These two fetal demons, though positioned at the apex of Third Grade, were living embodiments of malevolent and defiled principles.

True Man Situ perceived the formidable nature of these two new threats, and a slight change flickered across his expression.

The other cultivators wielding Divine Thought abilities dared not let their guard down for even a moment.

The Taoist swiftly applied the Blood of Divine Thought to his Peach Wood Sword before launching it forward. The sword transformed into a streak of light, hurtling directly towards the decaying fetal demon.

The strike carried immense force, cleanly severing the fetal demon's right arm.

However, in the very next moment, the pus on the decaying fetal demon began to surge anew, and its flesh started to regenerate.

As the Taoist recalled his Peach Wood Sword, he observed it coated in foul blood and decaying matter, realizing with a pang of distress that its spiritual essence had been compromised.

At this juncture, the human-faced spider demon unleashed a terrifying howl.

The Taoist, his mental defenses momentarily breached, found himself engulfed in an abyss of darkness. All the horrors he had confronted throughout his centuries of Tao cultivation manifested within his mind, one after another, sowing seeds of fear deep within his heart.

"This is not good..."

The Taoist sensed the imminent danger and attempted to shield his true self, but it was already too late. The human-faced spider demon had closed the distance, its phantasmal human faces contorting into a cavernous, black maw, poised to consume the Taoist's very head.

By a stroke of luck, at the critical juncture, the elder woman invoked the Six Ding and Six Jia formations, creating a protective shield for the Daoist and forcefully seizing the head of the human-faced spider demon. This caused the demon to let out another terrified roar. Simultaneously, the True Man clad in white swiftly deployed the Three Pure Ones Bell, its power shattering the demonic sound. The Daoist's mind, clouded by the earlier assault, began to clear. However, just as a collective sigh of relief was about to escape the group, the eldest of the three brothers, who had been positioned on the periphery, expertly utilizing Qimen Dunjia to ward off encroaching demon monsters near True Man Situ, suddenly cried out in alarm. "Master Zhao, what are you doing?!" he exclaimed. The individual addressed as "Master Zhao" was a robust man, his body adorned with intricate runes. Previously, he had been severely injured and resting, but he was now inexplicably moving towards the pink Evil Embryo, which was under suppression by the ancestor of the Spirit Talisman Sect. As if in a trance, he reached out, intending to remove the sealing talisman from the Evil Embryo. The burly man's arm was already being seared by the runes, revealing the bone beneath, yet his face was etched with an expression of infatuation. It was as if he believed any sacrifice was acceptable for his beloved "person," driven by an all-consuming, soul-stirring desire. The ongoing conflict against the accompanying demon monsters and fetal demons had been fierce and fraught with peril, leaving no one to notice the burly man's aberrant actions. By the time his behavior drew the attention of others, it was already too late. The man sacrificed his injured arm to dismantle the runes, liberating the pink Evil Embryo. In an instant, the creature lunged towards the man's mouth, initiating a kiss. The man's face contorted into a look of adoration, but simultaneously, the flesh on his face began to rot, his features becoming horribly disfigured. A wave of horror washed over everyone present. Yet, before any of them could fully react to the ghastly transformation, the terrifying roar of the human-faced spider demon echoed once more through the chaos.
