The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2330: Earth Veins’ Lament (part 2)

The phrase ’all living things tormented’ is not an empty term.

If Mr. Tu’s master plan comes to fruition, then many acquaintances of Mo Hua are destined for demise.

Solitary Mountain City, Mistwater River, and even the independent cultivators scattered far and wide, all face annihilation.

Within the Taoist Court, Uncle Gu, Sister Xia, alongside Gu An, Gu Quan, and numerous other Enforcement Leaders whom Mo Hua has formed connections with, are all in peril.

The various sects of Qianxue are also poised to undergo a brutal massacre, leading to the deaths of innumerable disciples.

Taixu Gate itself might be erased from existence.

The sect leaders, esteemed elders, and disciples of each mountain within Taixu Gate, including his junior brethren, are likely to perish.

This is the calamity of the Evil God, a devastating transformation of heaven and earth heralded by bloodshed.

Mo Hua harbors no desire for those he knows to meet such an end, nor does he wish for countless innocent cultivators to be extinguished.

Mo Hua's brow furrowed in deep thought.

Under the current circumstances, even the Heaven Void Ancestors from the Qianxue sects, if they were unaware before, should now possess at least some understanding of the dire situation.

However, their observation is from outside the Grand Formation, not with the same clarity as his own, trapped within the enemy’s stronghold and drawing formations for Mr. Tu.

They must be enacting various strategies to counteract Mr. Tu.

While these countermeasures might not guarantee success, they will undoubtedly impose significant pressure upon Mr. Tu.

Yet, it is evident that these efforts are still insufficient.

What else can be done...

Frowning, Mo Hua instinctively traced a formation pattern in the empty air with his fingers.

It was the design of a twenty-pattern formation.

A Second Grade Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation! This formidable ultimate formation had actually been mastered by Mo Hua long ago, through relentless effort day and night during the Shura battle.

He had simply refrained from utilizing it until now.

His initial objective was straightforward: to detonate the Blood Sacrifice Array and eradicate all the demon cultivators.

The Blood Sacrifice Array must be dismantled.

The demon cultivators must also be eliminated.

This course of action is imperative not only to prevent the torment of all living beings but also because a portion of the formation patterns and the central pivot of this Blood Sacrifice Array were inscribed by his own hand.

During the Ten Thousand Demons Gathering, numerous demon leaders had witnessed his face and recognized his participation in the event. This constitutes undeniable "evidence."

Moreover, should the Blood Sacrifice Array achieve its full completion and activation, leading to the genuine rebirth of the Evil God and the subsequent torment of all existence, then within the countless massacres that would ensue, his karmic retribution would inevitably be intertwined.

Whether by intent or by force, he would be recognized as one of the primary "perpetrators" behind the widespread bloodshed and suffering inflicted upon all living things.

This fact also explains why Mr. Tu was willing to impart formation knowledge to him and permit his deep involvement in the construction of the Blood Sacrifice Formation.

Mo Hua, fully aware of the principles of karma, could not possibly be ignorant of this consequence.

He cannot afford to bear the weight of responsibility for these impending massacres.

Therefore, the existence of the Blood Sacrifice Array must be terminated.

As for the demon leaders who saw his face, even if it was merely their misfortune, not a single one can be allowed to survive.

Regarding the method to achieve this, during the Ten Thousand Demons Gathering, Uncle had already provided him with the necessary instruction; he simply needed to replicate the strategy employed then.

The sole obstacle is that, in terms of cultivation, mastery of techniques, and formation skills, he is vastly inferior to Uncle.

The feats Uncle accomplished are simply beyond his current capabilities.

This is particularly true in the realm of formations.

Mo Hua’s knowledge of the Reversed Spirit Formation grants him the equivalent of possessing "explosives" at his disposal.

However, this is a Quasi-Third Grade Blood Sacrifice Array. Determining the precise locations for placing these "explosives," orchestrating their detonation, and ensuring his own escape afterward, involves an intricate web of formation pattern classifications, large-scale operational planning, multiple pivot adjustments, and complex spiritual power circulation that currently exceeds his formation expertise.

Furthermore, the most significant challenge remains Mr. Tu himself.

How can he possibly deceive Mr. Tu?

Mr. Tu is a Feathered Immortal Cultivator, a Fourth-grade Evil Formation Master, the most devoted servant of the Great Wilderness Evil God, and the principal Formation Master overseeing the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation.

Mo Hua cannot fathom that any manipulation he attempts would escape Mr. Tu’s keen observation.

He is even certain that the slightest modification, even the most minute alteration of a single formation pattern, would be instantly detected by Mr. Tu.

Under Mr. Tu’s unwavering scrutiny, he is utterly incapable of taking any meaningful action.

Moreover, the prospect of deceiving Mr. Tu appears completely insurmountable.

Mo Hua’s gaze intensified, his mind deeply immersed in contemplation.

No matter how desperately he searched his mind, no viable solution presented itself in that moment.

Under Mr. Tu’s relentless pressure, the progression of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice cannot be impeded; it must advance methodically according to the established plan.

The most Mo Hua can achieve is a marginal delay in its progress; however, this constitutes merely a temporary palliative, not a genuine resolution to the underlying problem.

The prophesied day of doom is inevitably destined to arrive.

Rising to his feet, Mo Hua surveyed the scene from atop the ancient beast's skeletal remains. His eyes swept across the sturdy and grand giant beast bones, settling on the colossal blood sacrifice heart. From there, his gaze continued downward, observing the river of blood that enveloped the massive heart.

Following this, he looked even further down, at the earth veins beneath the blood river, now tainted by an Evil Power.

A subtle resonance stirred within Mo Hua's heart.

This was the echo of the Earth Dao Meaning.

It was a delicate connection to the earth, something he had achieved after comprehending the Thick Earth Ultimate Formation and attaining enlightenment of the Great Dao.

At this very moment, this faint resonance vibrated the very strings of Mo Hua's heart.

Within this resonance, the former warmth and tolerance were gone, replaced by anger steeped in blood, a sense of injustice, and the desperate wails and mournful cries of all living creatures.

Rivers of blood continued to flow.

The very earth veins cried out in sorrow.

Mo Hua, gazing upon the blood-soaked earth veins, felt as though he were peering into the very depths of Earth's Dao Meaning, his eyes filled with profound sympathy and sorrow.

...

Qian Learning State Boundary.

True Man Situ, his hair now completely white, was seated within the Beidou Seven Stars Formation. Engulfed by starlight, he activated the formation, channeling the Power of Stars to locate Mr. Tu's aura, with the intention of eliminating him to prevent future threats.

Abruptly, the heavenly secrets shifted, and a wisp of karma drifted by.

True Man Situ's heart leaped. He immediately drew a strand of starlight, directing it towards his forehead. Employing the Seven Stars Bright God technique, he calculated with his fingers. His expression underwent a drastic change.
