The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2251: Sever!
Previously on The Quest for Immortality...
Observing Mo Hua in such an unsettling state from the Sword Observation Tower, the Master of Hundred Flower Valley felt a sharp, piercing pain in her chest, her eyes misting over until she struggled to catch her breath.
Meanwhile, within the Tian Shu room, the Supervisor watched Mo Hua with a look of unbridled, world-conquering arrogance, caught completely off-guard and deeply perplexed.
He could not discern just whom Mo Hua reminded him of back in his own “youth”...
Inside the sword discussion arena.
Mo Hua’s words brimmed with utter arrogance, looking down upon everyone present.
Even individuals like Shen Linsu and his companions, who were born with a natural, haughty disdain for the mundane world, were thoroughly incensed.
Shen Linsu could not help but sneer:
“If you had wielded this sword sooner, wouldn't it have been much simpler to eliminate the five of us?”
Mo Hua replied with blatant contempt, “The power of this sword is overwhelming. If I had brought it out earlier, it would have slaughtered the mediocre ones along with you.”
“My blade does not strike the unremarkable; only you few are worthy to perish beneath it.”
Shen Linsu felt a surge of boiling rage.
Even Duanmu Qing, Xiao Wuchen, and Ao Zhan, consumed by hatred, saw their eyes flush with a crimson hue.
“Very well, very well...” Shen Linsu laughed in a fit of rage, “Today I wish to witness how you execute this strike...”
“Let us see how you, a Formation Master lacking a sword, intend to strike down the five greatest prodigies of Qianxue.”
Mo Hua nodded faintly, “Then you had best keep your eyes wide open, watch intently, and make sure...”
Mo Hua’s voice became laced with a chilling eeriness, “...you do not blink.”
Without further hesitation, his gaze deepened as he slowly pressed his fingers against the space between his eyebrows.
...
Outside the arena, every spectator clearly marked Mo Hua’s strange gesture and could not suppress their frowns.
“What does Mo Hua intend with this...?”
“What is he doing?”
“Is he actually attempting to take on all five of Qianxue’s top prodigies simultaneously?”
“Absurd, has he lost his mind?”
“The formation is gone; how could he possibly kill them?”
...
The Elders and disciples of the Taixu Gate were also exchanging bewildered stares, utterly failing to grasp Mo Hua’s intent.
Only Xun Ziyou suddenly realized something, his pupils dilating.
He recalled this very same familiar action from Mo Hua.
Naturally, he also remembered the pig monster in Refining Demon Mountain, which had fallen dead before Mo Hua without a single wound on its body...
That third-grade Golden Core Realm Pig Monster...
Xun Ziyou felt his scalp tingle, his entire frame trembling beyond control.
Within the Sword Observation Tower, inside the Heaven Void Hall.
Many Heaven Void Ancestors knit their brows in collective shock.
As Heaven Voids, they were barred from interfering in the disciples' sword discussion beyond the fifth-grade formation, yet they could still sense the atmosphere through the barrier.
Mo Hua’s physical body was weak, his spiritual power meager, his sword dao foundation shallow, and he possessed neither sword qi nor a physical spirit sword in hand.
What kind of sword technique could such a disciple possibly master?
What bizarre scheme was this strange boy concocting?
Then, in an instant, an abyss-like sea of aura erupted from Mo Hua. An ancient, profound sword intent slowly emerged.
Feeling this specific intent, all the Heaven Voids were stunned.
“This aura is...”
Some Sword Dao Heaven Void Ancestors, after sensing it carefully, instantly paled and looked incredulously at Elder Master Xun:
“Is it the Taixu Gate’s... Divine Thought into sword?!”
This declaration caused a wave of shock to ripple through all the Heaven Void Ancestors present.
They were Heaven Void Ancestors, having lived for an eternity; how could they be oblivious to such an infamous name?
It was the Taixu Gate’s forbidden sword technique:
The Taixu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue!
Was this boy from the Taixu Gate actually utilizing the near-extinct, banned Divine Thought into sword technique that could shake the heavens and the gods?!
How could this be possible?!
This sword technique was a foundational, sect-protecting art.
It was notoriously difficult to learn, practice, or transmit, and the slightest carelessness could result in the obliteration of one’s divine thought and certain death.
How could a mere Foundation Establishment disciple ever hope to master it?!
Who would dare allow a Foundation Establishment disciple to study such a thing?
Even these seasoned Heaven Void Ancestors felt a tremor of shock deep within their hearts.
Even Elder Master Xun frowned, his mind in a state of turmoil.
His deepest apprehension had come to pass.
Mo Hua had truly learned the Divine Thought into sword True Jue.
If so, this technique must have been taught by his senior brother—a man half-stepped into the realm of the Heavenly Demon, whose existence as demon or human remained unknown.
And yet, Mo Hua had indeed mastered it.
He had become the sole surviving heir to the Taixu Gate’s forbidden Divine Thought into sword technique.
Elder Master Xun’s heart quaked, unsure whether to feel grief or pride.
Suddenly, some of the ancestors realized a much more dire complication.
One elder stood up in terror: “This is bad! The fifth-grade Mount of Tao formation offers no defense against divine thought!”
“Hurry! Stop him!”
“Under no circumstances must we allow him to execute this strike!”
Facing the Divine Thought into sword True Jue, all physical defenses and spiritual power were rendered meaningless illusions.
Regardless of the quality of one’s spiritual root or the strength of their body, if their Taoist Heart was not unshakeable and their divine thought was not solid, they could not resist being erased by the Taixu Sword Intent.
In other words, he was genuinely capable of “killing” people within the Dao Discussion Formation.
And as for whom he intended to kill...
All the Heaven Void Ancestors were horrified.
Instantly, several Heaven Void Ancestors acted with force, attempting to breach the fifth-grade formation to halt Mo Hua’s strike.
However, their Heaven Void power touched the barrier only to be dissipated by the intricate, profound formation patterns, which dissolved their strength into the void.
The fifth-grade Mount of Tao formation strictly prohibited any interference with the sword discussion, even from those of Heaven Void rank.
Inside the arena, as Mo Hua’s sword intent crested.
Shen Linsu and the others realized the danger instantly, sensing a primal fear emanating from their own bloodlines.
