Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2368 Chapter 1081: Gui Tao_3

Tucked away in a corner of the altar rested a colossal Demon Monster egg.

This was the fourth Fetal Demon Egg to be discovered. It was born concurrently with the Evil God True Embryo, meaning there were initially four formidable Fetal Demon Eggs. Three had already hatched, endured a Divine Thought battle, and were ultimately destroyed by Mo Hua, leaving only this one remaining before him. Curiously, even though the Evil God had already emerged, this particular Fetal Demon Egg was still incubating. Furthermore, it had miraculously survived the recent intense battle, where Divine Thought had raged like a tempest, sweeping through the surroundings without being annihilated. True Man Situ, Aunt Wan, and Yu Er remained unharmed because Mo Hua had intentionally limited the scope of his destructive power. The Evil God himself required 'sustenance' and the presence of his 'mother' and 'brothers,' which explained why True Man Situ and Aunt Wan were spared. However, this Fetal Demon Egg had not received any special consideration from Mo Hua. Nor did the Evil God True Embryo show it any attention. Yet, it persisted. Mo Hua gestured, conjuring a Sword Array that solidified into a Sword of Divine Thought, poised to obliterate both the demon and its egg simultaneously. Just as he was about to unleash the attack, Mo Hua's expression shifted subtly, and a sense of foreboding washed over him. It felt as though something dreadful, perhaps a potent karma, lay concealed within. Should he proceed and break the egg, he dreaded the unforeseeable and terrifying consequences that might unfold. Mo Hua's pupils narrowed slightly. "Who placed this dark seed here?" he mused. "Who could it be? Was it the Great Wilderness Evil God? Or perhaps other deities? Or could it be some... cultivator of unfathomable power and great ability?" This was not good... Mo Hua cautiously focused his gaze on the blood-red, interwoven, and seemingly fragile Fetal Demon Egg. After a moment's contemplation, he quietly withdrew his attention, retracting the Sword of Divine Thought. "Never mind, I cannot afford to meddle with it," he decided. The karma it held was too obscure for him to discern, making it wise to abstain from interference. Regardless, his primary objectives had been met. The most prudent course of action now was to withdraw, as overstaying his welcome might invite unforeseen complications. Mo Hua extended a finger, and under a cascade of golden light, he first guided Yu Er's Divine Soul through a fissure, allowing her to escape the nightmare and return to her physical body. Subsequently, Mo Hua himself extricated himself from the nightmare, rejoining his own body. The nightmare conjured by the Evil God began to disintegrate piece by piece. As for the final Fetal Demon Egg, in the absence of any observers, it slowly began to crack open, revealing a dark, indistinct... Deceit Pattern. However, all these events transpired unknown to anyone. Emerging from the nightmare, his Divine Thought restored and having returned to his Sea of Consciousness, Mo Hua opened his eyes. But in the very next instant, his countenance contorted in alarm as a dense, black Evil Qi erupted from his Divine Soul. Mottled, malevolent patterns began to spread across Mo Hua's cheeks, creeping outward and engulfing his entire body. Unable to contain the surging Evil Qi any longer, Mo Hua expelled a mouthful of viscous black blood. Compounding the distress, black blood began to seep from his seven facial orifices. All the pooled black blood on the ground coalesced, reforming into the wicked visage of a child, complete with ram horns, a human torso, and scale armor... ultimately taking the shape of the Great Wilderness Evil God True Embryo. The Evil God True Embryo sneered at Mo Hua, proclaiming: "The Evil God is eternal and indestructible; I told you, you cannot eliminate me." Mo Hua coughed forcefully several times, expelling the remaining black blood from within him. He then slowly rose, regarded the Evil God, and nodded. "I told you, I know." The Evil God True Embryo's expression faltered. Instantly, a flash of golden light enveloped him, and a Divine Lock Formation, akin to unbreakable chains, firmly bound him in place. "A Divine Formation?" The Evil God True Embryo stared at Mo Hua with disbelief, bewildered as to how Mo Hua, in the mere two decades since his emergence, could have mastered such a multitude of Dao of the Divine spells. Nevertheless, Mo Hua paid him no mind, dedicating his full attention to manifesting more Divine Arrays. These arrays encircled the Great Wilderness Evil God True Embryo, constricting him tightly. This Evil God True Embryo, having been prematurely birthed via an unnatural method, was inherently frail. Shortly after its genesis, it had endured a devastating calamity of fierce battles. Moreover, it had been grievously wounded by Mo Hua's Taixu Divine Thought Slash God Sword technique, rendering it incapable of breaking free from Mo Hua's Divine Tao Formation. At least, not for the foreseeable future. While immobilizing the Evil God True Embryo, Mo Hua contemplated internally on the best course of action for dealing with this nascent Evil God. The primary question was whether this entity truly represented the personification of the Great Wilderness Evil God. Logically speaking, given the immense effort expended by Mr. Tu in constructing such a colossal Blood Sacrifice Formation, the entity that hatched should not have been a fabrication.

Furthermore, this Evil God True Embryo surpasses any similar Evil God entities Mo Hua has previously encountered. It undeniably holds a fragment of True God's will. However, to equate it with the Great Wilderness Evil God, Mo Hua feels a degree of inconsistency.

Stroking his chin, Mo Hua contemplated for an extended period before an realization dawned: his concept of an "Evil God" might be somewhat flawed. "The Evil God branches into myriad forms, existing eternally and invincibly... This implies that each splintered Evil God Embryo not only possesses a portion of the Evil God's original will but also its own distinct consciousness. The evil embryo within the Dragon King Temple was precisely like this. The evil embryo discovered at the bottom of the Solitary Mountain tomb was also the same. And here, this Evil God True Embryo, birthed through the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Array and utilizing Yu Er's Karma Dragon vein as a vessel, likely adheres to the same Evil God's Law. Its intrinsic advantage is merely a more potent origin will. Compared to other evil embryos, its lineage appears more authentic.

It is comparable to...

Mo Hua furrowed his brow, then a sudden enlightenment struck him. "The true Evil God is akin to an emperor, while the evil embryos are like 'Princes'. There can only be one emperor, yet numerous princes may exist."

"Each prince harbors the potential to ascend to the position of 'emperor'. Similarly, all evil embryos possess the capacity to transform into 'Evil Gods'."

"Ultimately, which prince secures the throne and becomes emperor, which evil embryo attains the Divine Position, remains an unknown."

The conflict among princes determines the victor who becomes king; the struggle among evil embryos culminates in a survivor who becomes a deity. This resembles the practice of "raising Gu," where the most resilient entity, after enduring all transformations and karmic entanglements, emerges as the emperor, the true Evil God.

"Could this be... the Law governing the Evil God's division into thousands?"

"And is this the very reason for the Evil God's unending existence?"

Upon this realization, Mo Hua's heart jolted, his thoughts immediately drifting to his formidable Uncle:

"Uncle, in his profound wisdom, cultivates the Gui Tao, with his Divine Thought splitting into thousands. Is he not following... this very path, I suspect..."
