Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2387 Chapter 1087: The Strange Smiling Face (Part 3)

At that very moment, a profound realization dawned upon Mr. Tu.

As he meticulously unraveled the intricate mysteries before him, the true nature of the trial set forth by the so-called "Instructor" Mo Hua became crystal clear:

The Sun Dial Formation was engaged in a relentless countdown.

Once this temporal measure concluded, the Reversed Spirit Formation would activate, culminating in the catastrophic collapse of the Blood Sacrifice Array.

A millennium of diligent effort, poised to be reduced to ruin in the blink of an eye.

His crucial task was to exert every ounce of his ability to dismantle Mo Hua's insidious Reversed Spirit killing setup before the Sun Dial Formation's timer reached its end. He needed to evade the Reversed Spirit Formation's wrath and, most importantly, prevent the disintegration of the formation eye's core, thereby safeguarding the Blood Sacrifice Array...

This was the malevolent "gift" bestowed upon him by the despicable entity known as Mo Hua.

The Sun Dial Formation continued its inexorable rotation.

Its pointer swept across the dial, each movement bringing it closer to the ultimate "deadline."

Upon the Sun Dial's completion, the trial would cease, and the Reversed Spirit Formation would detonate with devastating force.

An overwhelming sense of urgency, as heavy as a mountain pressing upon his chest, gripped Mr. Tu's heart.

Mr. Tu drew a deep, steadying breath.

In this critical juncture, he stood utterly alone. All he could do was summon his full might to confront Mo Hua's "test."

"Reversed Spirit Formation..."

A chilling frost seemed to settle upon Mr. Tu's furrowed brow.

Despite his standing as a fourth-grade Formation Master, favored by the Evil God himself, the intricacies of this second-grade Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation lay beyond his current grasp.

To truly comprehend such a supreme formation demanded not only profound insight but also fortuitous opportunity; it was not something attainable through mere desire.

This, precisely, was why it was designated an "Ultimate Formation."

These Ultimate Formations, often categorized as "supreme grade" formations, were also frequently referred to as "extinct formations."

Their rarity, the immense difficulty in mastering and refining them, and their infrequent transmission meant that a vast number of Ultimate Formations had indeed vanished into obscurity.

Since Mr. Tu possessed no expertise in Reversed Spirit Formations, he was naturally ignorant of the methods required for their dismantling.

Furthermore, attempting a hasty dismantlement, if executed incorrectly, carried consequences far more severe than a mere loss of "points."

Could he perhaps sever the link between the Sun Dial Formation and the Reversed Spirit Formation?

This action, in turn, would eliminate the countdown, thereby preventing the immediate detonation of the Reversed Spirit Formation, at least in the short term.

It was akin to destroying the clock during an examination; the "test" would not conclude.

Mr. Tu attempted this line of reasoning, only to discover its infeasibility.

The Sun Dial Formation itself was peculiar, its periphery shrouded by numerous Mystery Formations. The formation patterns were exceedingly complex, exhibiting no discernible order.

Within the limited time available, Mr. Tu could not ascertain the operational principles of the Sun Dial Formation or its connection to the overarching Reversed Spirit Formation.

It was abundantly clear that the astute and cunning Mo Hua would never permit such "cheating" loopholes to exist.

Resigned, Mr. Tu had no choice but to abandon this approach and focus his efforts on directly neutralizing the Reversed Spirit formation patterns.

A lifetime dedicated to the art of formations flashed through Mr. Tu's mind.

As a seasoned fourth-grade Formation Master, Mr. Tu swiftly devised a new strategy:

If the formation could not be outright solved, then it must be fragmented. Each component would be isolated individually, severing the connections between the Reversed Spirit formation patterns and the Blood Sacrifice Array's central pivot point. This would prevent the pivot from being detonated by the Reversed Spirit Formation...

Using his nimble fingers dipped in human blood, Mr. Tu inscribed one blood pattern after another onto the colossal beast bones. He employed the Great Wilderness Blood Formation technique to isolate Mo Hua's intricate Mystery Formations.

Shangguan Wang and his two companions observed Mr. Tu's solemn inscription of formations. Their gazes met, and they exchanged silent, worried frowns.

Bound by the unforgiving constraints of time, Mr. Tu had no opportunity to engage in conversation with the trio.

The Sun Dial continued its relentless turn, precious moments steadily draining away.

Mr. Tu's fingers moved with practiced grace, laying down blood marks sequentially, systematically dismantling and isolating Mo Hua's perilous formations...

However, with each layer of formations he dismantled, he uncovered even more Reversed Spirit Formations ingeniously placed by Mo Hua.

Moreover, these newfound Reversed Spirit Formations were intricately interwoven with the very core of the Blood Sacrifice Array.

It appeared that nearly every Reversed Spirit pattern corresponded directly to a node within the Array's core. Upon detonation, these patterns would rapidly propagate through the Array's pivot, amplifying the destructive potential of the Reversed Spirit to its maximum extent...

Adding to the complexity, none of the Reversed Spirit Formations operated in isolation. They were meticulously designed, deliberately calculated, and interconnected, complementing one another. They resembled sharp "bone blades," poised to dissect the Blood Sacrifice Array's pivot from every conceivable angle...

Mr. Tu's fingers began to tremble with a sudden, profound shock as he arrived at a startling new realization:

Crafting such a monumental formation is far beyond the reach of any common Formation Master...

This feat... could only be accomplished by an adept who has personally erected significant formations and possesses an intimate understanding of the formation's nexus, enabling them to direct the entirety of the operation from a position of supreme command.

This implies...

Mr. Tu's eyes widened, his gaze reflecting sheer terror.

Mo Hua, this disciple, barely at the Foundation Establishment Realm... is actually the primary architect of the formation?!

Considering his age, he's lived just over two decades, yet he's managed... to personally bring to life grand Tao Cultivation formations?!

Mr. Tu was engulfed in disbelief, feeling as though his thousand years of life had been entirely in vain.

Mo Hua, this youngster is undeniably, preposterously exceptional.

Mr. Tu struggled to accept this reality.

However, a formation's accuracy is undeniable; one either comprehends it or remains ignorant.

The profound skill evident in the formation before him left no room for pretense.

An immense weight descended upon Mr. Tu, crushing him as if a colossal mountain were pressing down on his shoulders, making it nearly impossible to even raise his head.

He understood then; his adversary was no mere prodigy in formations, nor a typical second-grade, high-level Formation Master, and certainly not just a simple Formation Leader from the Qian Learning State Boundary.

But rather, a rare spirit whose Divine Thought surpasses the Core Formation stage.

A formidable entity capable of grasping Ultimate Formations and mastering ancient Mystery Formations.

A young, prodigious Formation Master who can erect grand formations.

Talents such as these could no longer be adequately described by the simple word 'genius.'
