Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2360 Chapter 1078: Divine Authority (Part 2)

However, in the present circumstances, hesitation was simply not an option. True Man Situ poured all his might, mobilizing the Six Yang Vermilion Gold Fire, empowered by a Divine Dao Treasure, towards the Evil God's true embryo. The objective was not necessarily annihilation, but significant harm would suffice. The Evil God appeared to harbor a measure of dread towards True Man Situ's Six Yang Vermilion Gold Fire, possibly due to its extreme purity and potent Yang energy. Alternatively, it could be attributed to True Man Situ's status as an Innate Primordial Spirit at the Feather Transformation Realm. The Evil God could not remain passive; it drew a deep breath and expelled a mass of black mist to counter the Six Yang Vermilion Gold Fire, leading to a temporary impasse. True Man Situ’s eyelid twitched involuntarily. His Six Yang Vermilion Gold Fire was painstakingly forged with desperate Divine Thought and the Divine Dao Treasure, endowing it with formidable power. Yet, this Evil God True Embryo, merely Third Grade and newly formed, was inherently incomplete, in an "infant" state, its Innate Divine Ability yet to awaken. It relied solely on casually expelled black mist to contend against his meticulously refined Six Yang Vermilion Gold Fire. A chilling dread began to creep into True Man Situ's heart. If this Evil God True Embryo were to grow stronger, he could scarcely imagine what in existence could possibly vanquish such a terrifying entity. "It must be eliminated!" True Man Situ resolved instantly to expend his final breath, setting ablaze the Six Yang Red Gold Cup, even sacrificing his Divine Soul, determined to eradicate this monumental threat from the world while it was still nascent. Concurrently, the four Elders of the Daluo Sect, acknowledging their inadequacy to harbor murderous intent towards the Evil God, felt a pang of shame. They shifted their focus to confronting the three demon spawn and the multitude of other demonic entities hatched from demonic eggs, thereby creating an opening for True Man Situ. Benefiting from the advantage of Fifth Grade Divine Thought, their attacks, whether Divine Thought Sword Light, spells, or runes, proved devastatingly effective over a wide area. Previously, they might have harbored concerns about "polluting" their Divine Thought. But now, with the Evil God's rebirth, they were likely already "tainted" and, indifferent to life and death, could unleash their full might and slaughter without restraint. Their Taoist Heart, having faced trials, made them hesitant to kill the Evil God, but they displayed no mercy towards the other demonic monsters and spawn. The Daluo Sect Ancestor engaged in close combat with the decaying demon spawn, its flesh dripping with foul fluids. He wielded the Daluo Unification Sword with practiced ease, severing multiple tentacles from the putrid creature. Bloody filth splattered his form, corroding his Divine Thought, yet he paid it no heed. This might very well be his final desperate battle in this lifetime. The other Heaven Void Ancestors also commenced their assault on the demon spawn. The Spirit Talisman Sect Ancestor contained the malevolent aura with the Soul Suppressing Talisman; the Little Spirit Sect Ancestor's barrage of spells tore through the void; the Ancestor from Kun State brandished a thundering sword amidst violent storms, ensuring any evil spirit it touched disintegrated into ashes. The remaining Feather Transformation Divine Thought cultivators, marshaling around Wenren Wan, formed an array to help repel the surging tide of demonic monsters. In mere moments, the tide of battle began to slowly shift. Countless demonic monsters perished under the devastating assaults of the Heaven Void Realm Primordial Spirits. The inherently vulnerable true embryo of the Great Wilderness Evil God was progressively consumed by True Man Situ's soul-burning efforts, its foundation gradually eroding. All beings in the world are at their most fragile upon birth. The Evil God was no exception. Under continuous assault, should its origin be damaged, even upon rebirth, it would suffer a severe depletion of its vital essence. The Evil God True Embryo seethed with fury. These insignificant beings, like stray dogs, had truly incensed it. However, this rage also accelerated the Evil God True Embryo's transformation, awakening its most crucial, true divine abilities. The Evil God True Embryo suddenly expelled a torrent of black mist. True Man Situ, running on empty, with minimal telekinetic power remaining, was forced into a temporary retreat. He intended to reignite the Six Yang Red Gold Cup for suppression, only to witness the Evil Embryo begin to glow with ancient, mottled, and obscure patterns. True Man Situ's expression changed drastically. But before he could react, the Evil Embryo slowly spoke, its voice sharp and raspy, imbued with an unfathomable divine charm, declaring: "Before this deity... all beings are equal."

With these words, imbued with the power of law, the very fabric of the dream realm was reshaped.

An inescapable force seemed to bind him, causing True Man Situ's countenance to shift drastically.

He could sense that the Divine Thought Realm, which he had diligently refined throughout his existence, was actually

descending rapidly!

From thirty-nine patterns, it dropped to thirty-eight, then thirty-seven twenty-nine, then traversing major realms in reverse, it continued its descent to twenty-eight

Finally, it plunged all the way down to twenty-five patterns.

Golden Core Middle Stage; a twenty-five-pattern Divine Thought!

He, the esteemed Chief Elder of Mystery Valley, a cultivator at the Feather Transformation Realm, had his Divine Thought instantly plummet from the peak of Feather Transformation, thirty-nine patterns, all the way down to the Golden Core realm!

It wasn’t just True Man Situ; the other four Heaven Void Ancestors, along with the Feathered Immortal, were all ensnared within the Evil God's dominion at this moment. Their Divine Thought Realms collectively plummeted, ultimately settling at various stages between the Golden Core Middle Stage and Late Stage.

An unimaginable dread began to blossom in everyone's hearts.

Even True Man Situ found the turn of events hard to accept.

"Could this be the authority of a True God?"

"Is this the law of divine might?!"

In the presence of a deity, all distinctions in cultivation realms vanish, birthing an "equality amongst all beings." This causes all Divine Thought Bodies within the domain of divine authority to exist within a singular, unified realm.

True Man Situ's heart felt as though it turned to ash in that instant.

"Is this a god?"

He knew then, with absolute certainty, that everything had truly ended.

Despite unleashing all his might and fighting with every ounce of his being, he could only struggle to this limited extent.

However, the power wielded by the Evil Path True God within the Divine Thought World surpassed the very core of his comprehension.

From the very outset, the rules were completely dictated by the Evil God.

They were left with no means of resistance.

And indeed, the situation unraveled instantaneously.

Trapped in the same cultivation realm, the cultivators' Divine Thoughts were simply no match for the corrupted might of the Evil Spirits and Demon Monsters, and even more terrifying were the innate fetal demons.

Reduced to the realm of "Golden Core," the Heaven Void Ancestors from the Daluo Sect and the Little Spirit Sect were progressively consumed by the decaying fetal demons, their physical forms succumbing to rot.

The Spirit Talisman Sect Ancestor, paralyzed by terror at the sight of the human-faced spider demon, was devoured by other rampaging demon monsters, his body utterly consumed. The Heaven Void wielding the Thunderwood Sword received a kiss upon his neck from the Pink Fetal Demon, causing him to gradually lose control of his Dao Heart, leaving him utterly defenseless.

The Heaven Void's "defenses" crumbled completely.

The remaining Divine Thought Cultivators at the Feather Transformation Realm could no longer hold their ground.

The old woman who summoned the Six Ding and Six Jia warriors watched helplessly as her final Ding Jia warriors were overwhelmed by the relentless demon army, and she herself ultimately fell into the gaping maws of the demon monsters.

Deprived of his Peach Wood Sword, the Daoist priest was hopelessly outmatched by the demon monsters, his arms brutally torn asunder by the fiends.

The white-clad True Man's Divine Thought was utterly depleted, rendering her incapable of operating the Three Pure Ones Bell any further. All she could do was shield Wenren Wan behind her.

Wenren Wan, deeply grateful for the protection she had offered throughout their ordeals, urged, "Recite the incantation and flee quickly flee."

The white-clad True Man's face was pale; she offered a bitter smile, "There is no escape for me now."

The Evil God had been reborn, the energies of the Seven Stars churned; they had long since lost the capacity to forcibly break free from this nightmare using the might of the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Stars Formation.

Wenren Wan's heart plummeted.

And in the very next moment, before her eyes, a pale, grotesquely deformed human face materialized, letting out an ear-piercing shriek directly at her.

Wenren Wan felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. Upon reopening her eyes, the white-clad True Man had already been swallowed by the human-faced spider demon. Her Primordial Spirit was ensnared in sticky spider silk, completely immobilized. Her limbs, once like ice and jade, were being gnawed raw by the grotesque human face that had sprouted upon the spider.

Wenren Wan's heart felt as if it were being savagely torn apart.

By this juncture, she was truly and utterly alone.

The sole remaining figure was True Man Situ.

True Man Situ's visage was etched with despair and bitter resentment, yet even in his final moments, a flicker of hope persisted. Utilizing his last vestiges of Divine Thought, he ignited the Six Yang Red Gold Cup, transforming it into roaring flames. He charged directly towards the Evil God's True Embryo. This was the final act he could possibly perform.

But now, his Divine Thought was reduced to the mere Golden Core realm, utterly incapable of posing any threat to the Evil God's True Embryo.The Evil Embryo, with its typical display, casually exhaled a cloud of dark mist that completely snuffed out True Man Situ's Six Yang Red Gold Fire. This wasn't merely an extinguishment; the black mist radiated the profound power of the Evil God, not only dousing the Six Yang Fire but also beginning to corrode the entire Red Gold Cup. In mere moments, the Six Yang Red Gold Cup was reduced to fragments. Spitting a mouthful of life essence blood, True Man Situ managed a bitter smile, a wave of regret washing over him. He mused that if only Mystery Valley's sect-protecting treasure, the Qiankun Clear Light Lamp, were still present, it might have been capable of restraining the Evil God, perhaps affording him several more opportunities. Today's outcome could have conceivably been altered. Alas, the Qiankun Clear Light Lamp had been expended to preserve someone's life. Perhaps this turn of events was also a decree of fate. To save one life meant another must inevitably perish. Since he had forcefully prolonged another's existence, it was only natural that his own life would be the price of repayment. The Heavenly Dao, it seems, is truly the most impartial... True Man Situ felt a profound emptiness grip his heart.
