Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2396 Chapter 1090: Fateful Evilness of Karma, A Thought Between Immortal and Demon (Part 2)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
Mo Hua's entire being was enveloped in a liquid-like amalgamation of black, gray, and blood-red aura, exuding an aura of intense malevolence, much like an apocalyptic Demon Head reborn.
Simultaneously, Mo Hua's Taoist Heart was being consumed by this encroaching Demon Thought.
Immersed in Corpse Qi, Evil Qi, and malevolent energy, Mo Hua appeared as an "unprecedented Evil Embryo."
What sprang forth from this Evil Embryo was a world-altering Demon Head.
As this shocking Demonic Qi was perceived, the gates of Taixu began to tremble violently.
The ancient temple resonated with surging Sword Intent, steadfastly upholding the principles of the heavens.
High in the rear mountain, veiled in mist, the ancestral tablets of Taixu Gate commenced to quiver.
Elder Master Xun's countenance contorted, reflecting profound horror and alarm.
Mo Hua's Life Chart was undergoing a drastic reversal!
From his former self, a pure-hearted genius dedicated to mastering Formations, comprehending the Heavenly Dao, and ushering in prosperity for all beings of the Righteous Dao, he was transforming into an "apocalyptic Great Demon Head." This entity was destined for a path marked by Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea, with karmic mutations crowning it king, and an Evil Embryo hatching into a terrifying deity!
"This is dire!"
Without hesitation, Elder Master Xun touched his forehead, activating his Divine Thought. He then guided the Eryi Heavenly Mechanism Lock of Taixu, intending to bind Mo Hua's Qi machine and karma. His goal was to suppress Mo Hua's Evil Qi, striving with all his might to prevent his Taoist Heart from reversing, thereby saving him from falling deeper into the Abyss.
True Man Situ, whose severe injuries had yet to fully mend, clung to his last vestiges of strength. Enduring the agonizing pain of his Sea of Consciousness cracking, he exerted himself to shield Mo Hua with the power of the Seven Stars and stabilize his spirit with the Soul Lamp.
Nevertheless, in the face of the overwhelming great karma emanating from the Taoist Demon, the Evil Embryo, and an endless tide of deadly evilness, these heavenly secret resistances proved to be no more than a drop in the vast ocean.
Mo Hua's Life Chart continued its alarming reversal.
His physical form, too, was gradually being consumed by the relentless Corpse Qi, Evil Qi, and malevolent energies...
Gazing upon Mo Hua's darkening visage, Elder Master Xun's heart felt as though it were bleeding.
True Man Situ, too, was overcome by a surge of dread.
At this critical juncture, another unforeseen turn of events occurred, causing the very earth to begin shaking.
A potent, ancient, and benevolent Taoist Meaning suddenly emanated from the earth veins. This profound earthly radiance merged into Mo Hua's body, effectively dissolving the encroaching calamity for him.
Elder Master Xun's expression shifted to one of astonishment. "The Earth Dao Meaning is actively protecting Mo Hua..."
Could this be... a repayment of a past favor?
Furthermore, the marvels did not cease there...
Another ancient and immense aura began to coalesce in the space between heaven and earth.
Elder Master Xun abruptly lifted his gaze, his pupils contracting in surprise.
The very heavens had transformed.
Fierce winds erupted, and the surrounding mountains and forests began to howl.
Amidst the rising winds and swirling clouds, a colossal cloud layer, stretching for hundreds of miles, howled and converged directly above Taixu Mountain. It formed an unimaginably vast whirlpool of cloud sea, capacious enough to engulf the sky and blot out the sun.
Within this celestial phenomenon, the most rigid and potent heavenly secret surged with power.
Across the entirety of the Qianxue State Boundary, countless cultivators, even all the Heaven Void Ancestors, cast their gazes heavenward towards Taixu Mountain. Their expressions were filled with shock, and their eyes harbored deep suspicion.
"The movement of the heavens is vigorous; a gentleman should continuously strive for self-improvement."
"This is... the heavenly secret of Qian Path!"
"The heavenly secret of Qian Path is gathering directly above Taixu Gate..."
"What in the world has transpired..."
Before these words could fully dissipate, a stream of pure white auspicious Qi, majestic and vast, descended from the heavens. It directly illuminated the rear mountain of Taixu Gate, penetrating numerous layers of Formation, and enveloped Mo Hua entirely.
This pure white, supremely rigid and strong Heavenly Dao Qi began to bolster Mo Hua's Life Chart.
The dark, deadly evilness immediately started to dissipate.
The reversal of Mo Hua's Life Chart began to recede.
Elder Master Xun, greatly astonished, exchanged a knowing glance with True Man Situ, and a sudden realization dawned upon them.
This was... the fortune of the Qianxue State Boundary, no, it was indeed the fortune of the entire Qian State, being bestowed by Qian Path.
Despite Mo Hua's commission of countless murders, he had, concurrently, preserved the lives of innumerable beings.
Had he not detonated the grand Formation and eradicated all the Demon Cultivators, the Blood Sacrifice Array would have inevitably spread. With Demon Cultivators running rampant, the Qianxue State Boundary, and even the entire Qian State, would have faced an unprecedented catastrophe, leading to the devastation of all living beings.
This represented the delicate balance of karma between heaven and earth.
He had extinguished countless lives, thereby accumulating immense karmic sins and triggering the terrifying "fateful evilness."
However, he had also saved innumerable souls, and the profound merit he accrued led to the descent of auspiciousness, with Qian Path's fortune being generously bestowed upon him.
A Dao heart as pure as a child's, capable of saving beings across lands, realms, and even entire states, truly constitutes 'great fortune.'
Blessed by the fortune of the Qian Path, Mo Hua's 'Life Chart' underwent a profound metamorphosis.
The opposing forces of good and evil Qi engaged in a fierce struggle.
The Earth's Dao Meaning, centered on 'defense,' utilized the life force derived from 'virtue bearing all things.' This maintained Mo Hua's foundation, ensuring his Qi flow remained unceasing and suppressed the perilous Corpse Qi, karmic Qi, and Evil Qi that had once plagued his Life Chart.
Meanwhile, the Qian Path's fortune emphasized 'slaughter.'
The unyielding pure white Heavenly Dao fortune stood firm, constantly countering and dissipating the deep black, deadly malevolence that persistently emerged.
One originated from the karmic retribution of killing, the other from the merit of saving lives.
These apocalyptic evils and redeeming fortunes, one black and one white, swirled above Mo Hua's Life Chart in a vast, mysterious dance, reminiscent of Taiji, in perpetual motion.
A delicate equilibrium was struck, leading to their eventual congealing and merging into Mo Hua's Life Chart.
Consequently, all karma and fated evils were eradicated.
Corpse Qi and Evil Qi were subdued, and the Earth Dao Meaning entered a dormant state.
The Evil Qi and the heavenly secrets intertwined, maintaining a delicate balance between them.
Above the Taixu Gate, the Qian Path's fortune dispersed, its auspicious white light gradually faded, and the whirlpool formed by the cloud sea dissolved into scattered clouds that adorned the sky.
The ominous signs within Mo Hua's Life Chart vanished.
The black Evil Qi, blood-red Evil Qi, and gray Corpse Qi that had once coiled around his body were completely submerged.
A healthy blush returned to Mo Hua's previously pale face.
Warmth seeped back into his icy hands and feet.
His breathing stabilized, producing a soft sound, much like someone in a peaceful slumber.
Elder Master Xun and True Man Situ found themselves in a state of bewildered awe.
