Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2353 - 1075: "Godslayer" (3)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
This cry of terror, alongside the sight of the monstrous brute’s mangled visage, sent shivers down everyone’s spines, plunging them into fright.
Mercifully, the female True Man clad in white drew a deep breath, and with the dregs of her Divine Thought, she invoked the Three Pure Ones Bell once more.
The Three Pure Ones Bell is a treasure of the highest order, possessing boundless applications but demanding a significant toll on one’s Divine Thought.
Having deployed the Three Pure Ones Bell numerous times already to avert perilous situations, the female True Man found her Divine Thought depleted, and her Primordial Spirit fragmented.
Yet, determination hardening her features, she gritted her teeth and, at the precipice of disaster, unleashed the "Clearing Evil" resonance for a final time.
The resonant chime of the bell banished the encroaching dread and countered the shrieks of the human-faced spider demon.
The Taoist swiftly brandished his Peach Wood Sword, driving it toward the creature. The evil-banishing blade, radiant with golden light, pierced directly through one of its visages.
However, the targeted face let out a guttural snarl and latched onto the Taoist’s Peach Wood Sword with ferocious tenacity, refusing to yield despite the sword’s luminous grinding.
The Peach Wood Sword, now fouled with necrotic tissue, was further degraded by the human-faced spider demon’s venomous saliva, its form slowly decaying into rotten wood.
A look of extreme alarm crossed the Taoist’s countenance.
Precisely then, a furious roar echoed: "Second Brother!"
Following the sound, they beheld the second of the three Qimen Dunjia brothers, a startling crimson lip stain inexplicably blooming upon his neck, its spread relentless.
In his current state, the second brother, one of the trio, was assaulting his other two brethren, bellowing with deranged fervor:
"She is mine! She loves me! You will not have her! I want you dead!"
The Qimen Dunjia technique hinges on the synchronized efforts of three individuals, their hearts beating as one.
With one brother ensnared by an evil allure and poisoned, the Qimen Dunjia formation shattered without a single blow.
These three brothers’ Qimen Dunjia formation had served as the most unyielding "shield" during their expedition. Now, with the formation compromised, the "defense line" of the Divine Thought Cultivators against the demonic onslaught was utterly annihilated.
Monsters, birthed from eggs, began to surge forth like a relentless tide...
As the three fetus-born demons joined the fray, a palpable sense of despair crept into everyone’s hearts.
Meanwhile, in another locale, the Daluo Sect Ancestor engaged in a fierce duel with the Xiao family’s ancestor. Yet, amidst the combat, he detected dark, inky stains spreading across his form, his inner malevolent thoughts escalating uncontrollably.
Simultaneously, the corrupted Xiao family’s ancestor’s expression grew increasingly sinister and savage, as if he had foreseen this very turn of events.
"I… I am being assimilated…"
The Daluo Sect Ancestor’s face drained of all color.
True Man Situ, comprehending the unfolding catastrophe around him, felt an icy dread grip his soul.
He understood that all was lost.
Every single one of them was destined to perish.
"It matters not…"
True Man Situ’s gaze suddenly firmed, a profound calm settling over his spirit.
He had embarked on this perilous journey prepared for death; death itself held no terror. What was truly fearsome was the prospect of their demise while the malevolent embryo persisted.
In such a scenario, the sacrifice of these ten Feather Transformations and four Heaven Voids would be utterly in vain.
True Man Situ’s gaze snapped toward Yu Er, his expression one of abrupt, stern resolve. "Beast! Let us perish together!"
An immensely potent will surged through True Man Situ in an instant, fueled by righteous indignation and unwavering determination. He channeled nearly all his Primordial Spirit’s might into a ferocious thrust of the Seven Stars Sword.
This strike, utterly disregarding self-preservation, contained an extraordinary spiritual force.
Even the divine might emanating from the evil embryo could not withstand its onslaught.
The evil embryo emitted a wretched shriek, yet it was powerless to halt True Man Situ’s absolute resolve.
The tip of the Seven Stars Sword advanced, inch by agonizing inch.
The starlight lacing the sword’s tip finally inflicted a wound upon Yu Er—upon the true nascent form of the evil god.
The light on Yu Er’s chest, seared by the celestial radiance, began to glow a deep red.
And fissures started to spiderweb across his abdomen.
A pained cry, sharper than any before, erupted from Yu Er’s lips, provoking the Xiao family’s ancestor, the three fetus-born demons, and a multitude of accompanying monstrous entities to launch a furious, panicked assault upon True Man Situ.
Concurrently, the Daluo Sect Ancestor, along with the other Heaven Voids and the remaining Feathered Immortals, sensing the grim finality of their fate, exerted their utmost strength. They unleashed their final Divine Thought Secret Skill, holding back the swarming minions of the evil god and demonic beasts, thereby granting True Man Situ the precious moments he needed.
True Man Situ’s jaw nearly fractured from the intense pressure, enduring the agonizing torsion of his Primordial Spirit under the evil god’s oppressive force, bearing the tearing agony, he drove the Seven Stars Sword even deeper.
Wherever the sword’s brilliant light penetrated, Yu Er’s screams intensified, and his abdomen finally ruptured, the cracks widening relentlessly.
Wenren Wan's heart felt as if it were being pierced by a knife, yet she was powerless, only able to watch the unfolding events with profound sorrow.
Tears streamed down, clouding her vision, as if she couldn't bear to witness a more dreadful scene.
True Man Situ's eyes held a flash of guilt mixed with a resolute determination.
"I apologize..."
With the last vestiges of his Divine Thought, he forcefully drove the Seven Stars Sword downwards, aiming to pierce Yu Er's chest and bring an end to it all.
However, at that critical moment, a small, dark hand suddenly emerged from Yu Er's abdomen, grasping the tip of True Man Situ's sword.
True Man Situ's pupils contracted violently.
The Power of Stars surged relentlessly, attempting to sever the black hand.
Yet, this minuscule hand proved as unyielding as solid stone.
Even its concentrated Divine Thought possessed terrifying strength.
"Divine Body?!"
True Man Situ gasped, his heart skipping a beat.
An overwhelming sense of dread instantly consumed him.
Facing utter despair, True Man Situ mustered every shred of his remaining courage, intending to "contend" with the malevolent deity, using this final opportunity to slay it with the Seven Stars Sword.
He continued to thrust with all his might, but no matter his exertion, the Seven Stars Sword was stuck as if embedded in stone, completely immobile.
The sinister black energy even began to infiltrate the Seven Stars Sword.
Suddenly, with a resounding "bang," directly before True Man Situ's eyes, the Seven Stars Sword was utterly pulverized by that tiny black hand.
The Seven Stars Sword... shattered...
True Man Situ's face instantly turned ashen.
He understood, everything had truly... concluded.
After obliterating the Seven Stars Sword, the small dark hand extended further from Yu Er's abdomen.
Then followed an arm, a leg, a diminutive body encased in a membrane filled with malevolence, steeped in dark amniotic fluid, and finally, a head.
A small head, bearing a resemblance to Yu Er, yet possessing the horns of a sheep.
Time itself seemed to halt.
Accompanied by suffocating and terrifying heartbeats, the true infant form of the Great Wilderness Evil God finally... emerged.
It slowly opened its eyes, emitting its inaugural cry.
This cry wasn't shrill, but it was imbued with a profound terror that warped the very colors of the world, spreading through the causal threads of the Heavenly Dao, instantly reverberating across the entire realm.
In the Qian Learning State Boundary, atop the Sword Observation Tower.
Nearly all the Heaven Void Ancestors simultaneously experienced a chilling palpitation.
Beneath the Heaven Void, every cultivator, without exception, was overcome with shock and dread.
Around the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation, the cultivators of both righteous and demonic paths, engaged in combat, felt this ominous tremor and involuntarily ceased their struggle, their expressions rendered vacant and fearful.
The cultivators of Qianxue felt as if something of immense significance had stirred, leaving their chests feeling dazed and on the verge of suffocation.
Conversely, the Demon Path Cultivators perceived this earth-shattering aura, and amidst their fear, their expressions grew increasingly fervent.
They recognized the awakening of their Divine Lord.
This world was poised to face a true tempest of bloodshed, a genuine feast of slaughter.
...
Within the Blood Sacrifice Array, in the heart of the Blood and Flesh Maze.
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the birth of the evil god, the multitude of demons was similarly driven into a frenzy.
And in a secluded corner of the Blood and Flesh Maze, above a pool of blood.
Perceiving the potent aura of the evil god, Mo Hua slowly opened his eyes.
The evil god had indeed awakened.
And he himself had been awakened by the evil god.
