Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2361 Chapter 1079: Here to Take You

With the Qiankun Clear Light Lamp lost and the Six Yang Red Gold Cup shattered, True Man Situ found his Divine Thought power virtually depleted. Crushed under the weight of the "Divine Authority" Law, he appeared desolate, resigned to embrace his impending death. His fate seemed irrevocably sealed.

Just as the Evil God True Embryo was preparing to unleash a cloud of black mist to extinguish True Man Situ, a sinister smile spread across its face. It lunged forward, its mouth opening wide to reveal razor-sharp fangs. With a brutal bite, it severed True Man Situ's left arm, which it then proceeded to chew and swallow whole.

The Primordial Spirit constitutes a fundamental aspect of a cultivator's existence, one of their very origins.

The severing of his Primordial Spirit's arm inflicted agonizing pain upon True Man Situ, soon leaving him drenched in a cold sweat. Even more horrifying, however, was the sight of the Evil God before him. Nourished by his Divine Soul after devouring his severed limb, its wrinkled skin began to smooth out, its Divine Body grew noticeably taller and larger, and its aura intensified with formidable power.

It was at this dire moment that True Man Situ finally grasped the reason behind the fate of the Divine Thought Cultivators on this perilous journey. They weren't utterly annihilated, merely "polluted." While their elevated realms and robust Divine Thoughts might have prevented the demon monsters from killing them outright with sheer Evil Power, forcing them to resort to polluting them with Evil Spirit Laws, that wasn't the primary objective.

The true purpose, he now understood, was that these demon monsters were meticulously preparing "food" for their Divine Lord.

The Evil God required sustenance.

These cultivators were intended as "bait food," serving to supplement and fortify the Evil God, compensating for its nascent weakness and the deficiencies in its innate origin.

The quartet of Void Spirits and the ten Feathered Transformation Primordial Spirits represented an exceptionally potent combat force, and simultaneously, a most bountiful "sacrifice."

This feast was deemed sufficient to sustain the newborn Evil God for an extended period, driving its rapid maturation, awakening its innate Divine Skills, and restoring its original True God might.

Should the Great Wilderness Evil God achieve full maturation and descend upon the world as a True God, the Qianxue State Boundary would inevitably face complete annihilation...

A profound sense of pain and regret washed over True Man Situ.

"We have failed in our task to slay the Evil God; instead, we have become mere sustenance to nourish it, perpetrators of its world-ending ambitions..."

The Evil God's visage, a chilling blend of innocence and malevolence, shifted. Its mouth gaped open once more, fangs bared, poised to sever True Man Situ's head.

With the situation having reached this grim conclusion, the certainty of his demise settled in. No one could possibly intervene to save him now; True Man Situ's face turned ashen, his spirit utterly defeated.

The Evil God's cavernous maw loomed ever closer.

Suddenly, Wenren Wan's voice instinctively cried out, "Stop!"

True Man Situ flinched, then stared in utter astonishment.

What amazed him was the unbelievable sight of the colossal, gaping mouth halting its descent upon hearing Wenren Wan's command. The Evil God, impossibly, ceased its advance.

Indeed, the Evil God did not continue its assault, refraining from biting down or devouring his head.

It appeared to be an instinctive, unyielding adherence to the order, as if compelled to refrain from taking his life.

True Man Situ remained dumbfounded for a spell, before a tremor ran through his heart as understanding finally dawned. A maternal connection!

The Evil God True Embryo had been gestated using Yu Er as its Divine Fetus, thereby sharing an intrinsic origin and existing in a state of symbiosis. And Wenren Wan, as Yu Er's mother, held a distinct position.

This meant that, in a crucial sense, Wenren Wan was also the "mother" of this formidable Evil God.

The natural laws governing the bond between mother and child, established by the very fabric of heaven and earth, were evidently applicable even to this monstrous entity.

Consequently, it dared not disobey a directive issued by its progenitor, its birth mother.

Grasping this revelation, True Man Situ was utterly shocked.

He had completely misjudged their precarious situation!

From the very outset, all those myriad Evil Spirits encountered within this nightmarish realm had shown an inexplicable reluctance to harm Wenren Wan. This was precisely because Wenren Wan was perceived as the "birth mother" of their Divine Lord.

Simultaneously, True Man Situ was overwhelmed by a wave of deep regret.

The collective knowledge possessed by cultivators regarding Evil Gods was remarkably sparse. This deficit in understanding had prevented him from ever considering the possibility of a mother-child dynamic influencing the Evil God's behavior.

Had he known this crucial detail, Wenren Wan would have represented their most significant leverage!

They could have navigated the treacherous currents of the Evil God Law, strategically centering their god-slaying plan around Wenren Wan. By exploiting the intrinsic mother-child connection, they could have created a counterbalance against the might of the Evil God.

Leveraging the innate "mother-child" law inherent in all creation to oppose the divine gift of the "Divine Authority" Law.

By employing such a strategy, their prospects for success in this daunting endeavor would have been magnified exponentially...

True Man Situ's heart was consumed by a heavy burden of remorse.

Meanwhile, the Evil God True Embryo seethed with an even greater fury. It refused to acknowledge Wenren Wan as its mother. How could a mere mortal woman possibly be deemed worthy of bearing the lineage of a deity? Yet, the undeniable constraints of the mother-child connection law held this powerful Evil God captive.

The Evil God let out a piercing, ear-splitting screech, a roar of pure rage, and then attempted once more to continue its gruesome meal, seeking to devour True Man Situ.

Still, Wenren Wan's command had been issued, and even an Evil God, powerful as it was, could not disobey it. Nor could it dare to strike True Man Situ.

The Evil God's fury escalated, and in a brief moment, its eyes flared with an unnatural luminescence. As if recalling something from its ancient, inherited memories, it then turned its massive head and began to advance towards Yu Er.

Witnessing the Evil God abandon its pursuit of him, True Man Situ experienced a fleeting sense of relief.

However, in the very next instant, as he watched the monstrous entity move towards Yu Er, True Man Situ's momentarily calmed heart thundered with renewed apprehension.

In a sudden flash of clarity, True Man Situ grasped the Evil God's sinister intention:

It intended to consume both the child and the mother!

Wenren Wan had given birth to Yu Er.

The Evil God had utilized Yu Er as its own nascent form, hatching into existence alongside the child.

Therefore, the Evil God was inextricably bound by the fundamental mother-child law of heaven and earth, and the linchpin of this law was none other than Yu Er.

By devouring Yu Er, it would effectively sever this critical causal link, freeing itself from the constraints of the mother-child law.

This then would allow it to consume Wenren Wan, thereby completely obliterating this established cause and effect.

By consuming both mother and child, severing these primal human ties, the Evil God would forge its own independent cycle of cause and effect, utterly unshackled from the primordial mother-child law.

It would then truly become unbound by any law, transforming into the ultimate... Great Wilderness Evil God.

An unutterable terror gripped True Man Situ: "It absolutely cannot be allowed to devour them!"

Wenren Wan, too, comprehended the horrific implication. Her heart fractured with agony, and just as she was about to utter a plea to halt the Evil God, the Human-faced Spider Demon let out a piercing shriek.
