The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2219: Asura
Previously on The Quest for Immortality...
The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument ceased its rotation.
From the Evil Embryo's palm, the purple-black tainted causal force infiltrated the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument, modifying the inner causal edicts.
The malevolent Evil Power continued to expand.
Yet immediately after, a primordial energy erupted from deep inside the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.
Pure white Sword Qi from the Heavenly Mechanism commenced a ruthless purge against the purple-black causal essence of the Evil Embryo.
The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument gradually resumed its turning motion.
Within the Poppy Chains, the Evil Embryo's visage twisted into a sinister, merciless distortion.
Its gore-soaked grip clung desperately to the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument, attempting to halt its ongoing function.
The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument's spin quickly decelerated once more.
Still, upon the Mount of Tao, the resilient essence of the ancient Heavenly Mechanism's nucleus compelled it to steadfastly finish its calculations as per the fixed causal laws.
The Evil Embryo extended a second palm, slamming it onto the Heaven Instrument.
An even fiercer causal Evil Power coiled around the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.
The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument appeared ensnared in the sludge of the Evil Path, its motion growing sluggish, yet moments later, the embedded causal arrays, resembling enigmatic Formation Patterns, quivered abruptly, unleashing a grand surge of pristine white Heavenly Mechanism force that rampaged onward, decimating the essence of the Fallen Evil God.
This venerable relic of the Heavenly Mechanism repelled every external invasion.
Not even the Evil God Embryo could dominate it.
The Evil Embryo's palms, resembling those of a defiled newborn, grew ragged from the causal energy adorning the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.
The Evil Embryo's countenance turned savage, wrathful, and contorted.
He stood as the Evil Embryo nearest to the Evil God's Origin.
Ultimately, though, the Evil Embryo remained merely an embryo—a nascent entity, the embryonic stage of the Evil God's advent, lacking the might of a fully matured Evil God.
To achieve rebirth, he depended on massacres, rivers of blood, terror, hopelessness, and the countless depraved cravings of humanity to forge a corporeal body.
Until that point, he lacked the means to shatter specific Heavenly Mechanism barriers established by mighty cultivators.
All he managed was to impede the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument's workings, unable to shift the destined result.
The Evil Embryo's features turned impassive as he gradually shut his eyes.
He called forth his 'believers.'
Humans brim with avarice.
Human essence harbors corruption.
Defenses erected by humans fall only to 'humans.'
Before long, his call drew a fervent reply, and the Evil Embryo unveiled his eyes, a spark of mockery glinting amid the chill.
Around them, the void silently tore open anew.
A strand of golden causality marred by Evil Qi surfaced once again, wrapping around the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.
This golden causality, an advanced Heavenly Mechanism method, wound tightly about the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.
And that proved insufficient.
Another rift in the void swiftly appeared.
A filament of profound blue causality also materialized.
However, this causal strand bore an intricately mingled presence, infused with human scents, the vibe of Evil Demons, and a subtle 'corpse' tang of blood.
It defied easy classification as either human or spectral.
The gold and blue causal threads ranked as the mightiest.
Additionally, various lesser, blended causal reckoning forces exploited the void gaps torn by the Evil Embryo, extending toward the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument like creeping tendrils.
The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument found itself firmly bound by these thick, corrupting causal strands.
Its rotational pace noticeably diminished, then dragged further.
At last, it ground fully to a stop.
Through his personal strength combined with the causal Evil Power from his followers, the Evil Embryo subdued the Mount of Tao's sacred artifact, the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.
Subsequently, the Evil Embryo's purple-black bloodied hands proceeded to turn back the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.
He sought to invert causality, to recast the edicts.
The golden causality laced with Evil Qi, alongside the defiled blue causality, acted like sturdy roots.
The assorted other causal energies resembled twigs and foliage.
These powers gathered thickly, jointly subduing the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument and affording the Evil Embryo an opening.
The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument was genuinely restrained.
Nevertheless, as the heirloom of the Mount of Tao's founder, it possessed innate causal stability—capable of suppression, yet impervious to reversal or modification.
Regardless of the Evil God's causal might, it failed to overturn the Heaven Instrument.
The confrontation settled into a deadlock for some time.
The interwoven, vibrant Evil God forces clashed with the immaculate white, jade-resembling power of the Heaven Instrument, deadlocked in mutual resistance.
Temporarily, neither side could overpower the other.
Enraged, the Evil Embryo hammered and clawed at the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument with his purple-black bloodied hands, yet fruitlessly.
The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument remained utterly steadfast.
In the midst of this delicate equilibrium.
At Mount of Tao's Xuantian Peak.
Deep into the night, upon the lofty Sword Observation Tower piercing the starry expanse, a subtle energy trace darted forth.
This energy wisp, akin to a heavenly star speck, brimmed with boundless enigma.
However, it lacked form, left no trail, and held no hue.
Arriving unexpectedly, it reached in a flash; amid the Evil Embryo's struggle with the Heaven Instrument, it seamlessly integrated into the causal edicts and permeated the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.
No one detected it.
The equilibrium shattered consequently.
The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument 'yielded.'
The formidable presence of the Evil Embryo started to dominate.
The Evil God's followers' forces surged wildly.
The causal framework of the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument commenced reversal.
Successive edicts fell under evil taint, with causality gradually rewritten...
Inside the Poppy Chains, the Evil Embryo bared a grotesque, vicious grin...
...
This entire event unfolded within the causal domain, veiled by multiple layers of obscurity.
Apart from the participants, scarcely anyone across the whole Qian Learning State Boundary remained aware.
Only Mo Hua abruptly sensed a surge of dread.
He appeared to glimpse a repulsive face, grinning toward him.
This countenance was exceedingly grotesque, both purple and black, like a lifeless fetus, radiating Evil Qi, monstrous and alarming, brimming with malice and covetous hunger for the mortal realm.
