The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2252: Sever! (part 2)

Something is wrong!

Target Mo Hua first!

The five warriors had no time for deliberation. Practically by instinct, they moved to strike Mo Hua down, desperate to halt his sword techniques.

But the moment had already passed. They had locked eyes with Mo Hua.

Those irises were no longer human.

They shimmered with a golden brilliance, pulsing with absolute divinity.

Beneath the divine glow rested a deep compassion for all living things.

Yet, underlying that humanity was a demonic hunger capable of total annihilation.

A purgatory of blood-stained sword dao seemed etched into Mo Hua’s gaze, paralyzing the divine souls of Shen Linsu’s group, filling them with a guilt-induced dread that rendered them unable to react.

Seizing the opening, Mo Hua focused his spirit, casting aside every distraction, and channeled the entirety of his divine sense within his sea of consciousness.

The deep secrets of the four sword arrays—Gold-breaking, Mountain-opening, Gui Water, and Li Fire—whirled incessantly within his pupils.

The ancient, vast Tai Xu Sword Intent anchored itself into the center of this storm.

A sword intent, far exceeding the limits of the Foundation Establishment Realm and radiating a sharp, terrifying power, suddenly surged from Mo Hua’s slender frame.

It was vast and mighty, moving like a tempest of divine thought, sweeping invisibly across the arena.

The brilliance in Mo Hua’s eyes intensified.

The sword intent, fueled by his pure golden divine thought, reached a pinnacle of sharpness and concentration.

Mo Hua pressed his finger against the center of his forehead.

Spiritual power pulsed at his fingertip, bridging the gap between his brow, effectively linking the physical and the ethereal. Utilizing an Out-of-body Divine Thought technique he had pioneered himself, he pulled the dense, profound Tai Xu Sword Intent into the alignment of the Five Elements Sword Formation.

The legendary God-slaying style, with all its lethal sharpness, manifested once more before the world.

With an icy, piercing gaze, Mo Hua pointed forward, channeling the overwhelming sword intent; the Divine Thought Giant Sword slashed through the void.

Slash!

This was the raw Sword of Divine Thought.

An entity forged from divine marrow and transformed into pure gold, it existed beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators.

To the countless Foundation Building Cultivators present, the strike was invisible, save for a faint, shimmering golden ripple in the air.

Golden Core Cultivators could discern a hazy shadow of a blade, punctuated by golden remnants of intent.

The Feather Transformation masters beheld a dazzling, glass-like golden giant.

Only those at the Heaven Void realm witnessed the full silhouette of the God-slaying Giant Sword, observing the flowing Five Elements interactions and the ancient complexity of the Tai Xu Sword Dao.

The higher the cultivation, the more terrifying the sight.

And this lethal weapon descended before the crowd like the breaking of the dawn, golden light cleaving the sky as it hurtled toward the elite geniuses of Qianxue.

It disregarded skin and armor, bypassed spiritual defenses and Taoist robes.

Ignoring the protection of the Dao Discussion Jade and even the fifth-grade defensive barrier of the Mount of Tao, it struck directly at their consciousness, aiming to erase their very thoughts.

Shen Linsu and his companions possessed bodies, spiritual power, and techniques that eclipsed Mo Hua’s by a vast margin.

Yet, their divine wills and Taoist hearts were fragile compared to this god-like Mo Hua.

At the instant of impact, the five felt their seas of consciousness begin to shatter, signs of terminal collapse manifesting within them.

Then, a protective layer of gold descended to shield them.

A sacred, radiant rune flared upon the foreheads of Shen Linsu and his peers.

It was a rune Mo Hua recognized all too well.

The legendary Eternal Life Rune!

It was a shield crafted by an ancestor beyond the Heaven Void realm, created at the end of their lifespan using their final life essence to protect a direct descendant. In moments of fatal crisis, it activates automatically, capable of obliterating external threats to save the wearer.

Mo Hua’s God-slaying Sword held the genuine power to obliterate the minds of the five geniuses and had indeed struck their souls.

Naturally, it had shattered the five precious Eternal Life Runes embedded within them.

In doing so, it forced five Heaven Void Dharma Phases to materialize!

A thunderous roar shook the heavens.

The atmosphere shifted, the earth trembled, and mountains quaked.

Massive golden light columns shot into the firmament over Dao Discussion Mountain, churning the clouds as five colossal Heaven Void Dharma Phases appeared, their immense power suffocating the souls of all who watched.

The residual energy rippled outward.

The impact was not limited to the mountain; the entire Qianxue State Boundary trembled.

The combined pressure of five Heaven Void Dharma Phases was monstrous. The golden radiance spread from the peak to the edges of the state.

From Solitary Mountain City to the Mistwater River and the humblest fishing villages, every cultivator peered upward, stunned by the sun-like golden light and the towering shadows within.

Five shattered runes, five Dharma Phases revealed. It was a spectacle that most cultivators would never behold in a thousand lifetimes.

Simultaneously, deep within the prohibited zones of the Four Great Sects and the Daluo Sect, five Heaven Void Ancestors vomited blood in unison.

...

The echoes of the strike lingered.

Mo Hua had swung his blade but once.

One strike had destroyed five Eternal Life Runes.

One strike had summoned five Heaven Void Dharma Phases.

One strike had altered the very colors of the world.

One strike had caused five Heaven Void progenitors to bleed.

Mo Hua’s singular sword move was beyond astounding.

In its wake followed a killing intent so vast it felt as though the world itself had turned against him.

The five Heaven Void Dharma Phases now locked their terrifying, infinite killing intent firmly onto Mo Hua.
