The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2362: I’ve Come to Take You

A cacophony of seven or eight human faces shrieked as one, their venomous cries swirling, effectively silencing Wenren Wan's voice.

Though these sounds emanated from Wenren Wan's lips, they failed to reach the Evil God's ears, rendering her Laws ineffective.

Helplessly, Wenren Wan could only observe as the Evil God's True Embryo advanced inexorably towards Yu Er.

As if sensing the encroaching danger and the imminent end of his life, Yu Er finally stirred, his eyes slowly opening.

His gaze met Wenren Wan's, lingering for a moment before he meekly whispered:

"Mother..."

Yu Er's current state was utterly devastating.

His abdomen lay slit open, his insides absent, his eyes vacant, and his flesh withered – a grim reflection of Wenren Wan's most terrifying nightmares.

A searing pain pierced Wenren Wan's heart, as if her very being were being torn apart. Tears of blood streamed down her face as she looked upon her child in utter despair, attempting to cry out, yet utterly unable to produce a sound.

True Man Situ too yearned to intervene, but his Divine Thought was utterly spent, his techniques exhausted. Incapable of altering the unfolding tragedy, he could only watch the scene with profound sorrow.

The Evil God's True Embryo let out a malevolent laugh, its mouth splitting unnaturally wide to form a gaping, bloody maw, and lunged to consume Yu Er.

Yu Er stared at the sinister Evil God, at the jagged expanse of its mouth, and the thought of being devoured filled his expression with fear.

Yet, before his final moments, his fear mingled with a profound sense of regret:

He had seen his mother, a partial fulfillment of his deepest wish, but...

"It seems I will not see... Brother Mo again..."

This thought echoed silently.

Suddenly, with a thunderous boom, the entire altar shuddered violently.

A wave of shock rippled through everyone present.

The Evil God itself paused, momentarily bewildered.

A flash of anger crossed its features, yet it pressed on, determined to devour Yu Er. But then, an even more powerful tremor shook the foundations.

It felt as though an immensely potent presence had been summoned, forcefully breaching the confines of the nightmare ritual.

A sliver of panic even began to surface within the Evil God's core, an unsettling premonition that its nemesis was about to arrive.

Wasting no further time, the Evil God's maw snapped shut.

Almost in the same instant, fissures webbed across the altar's surface. The Evil God's nightmare was violently ripped asunder, and from the tear emerged a small, golden hand. This hand, imbued with the immense power of Divine Thought, pressed down firmly upon the Evil God's head.

The overwhelming pressure of the Divine Thought bore down upon the Evil God.

A youthful, clear, yet commanding voice resonated, saying, "Found you... little beast!"

"Your little master has come to retrieve you!"

Amidst a dazzling golden radiance, a form of pure golden Dao descended.

The Evil God's entire nightmare faltered, followed by the earth-shattering roars of monstrous entities.

How dare something presume to press down upon the Divine Lord's head!

How dare it address the Divine Lord as a "little beast"!

This was an unforgivable blasphemy against the Divine Lord, an unforgivable sin!

Not only was the Evil God enraged, its oppressive aura intensifying like a bottomless abyss.

Even the fiendish monsters felt profoundly insulted, unleashing piercing howls.

These countless tormented roars of malicious thoughts converged, creating a tempestuous storm of evil, sweeping outward and causing the entirety of the Evil God's nightmare to tremble ceaselessly.

Yet, this intense pressure from the Evil God, and the surging fury of the monsters, disintegrated instantly upon contact with the radiant golden figure, vanishing like the wind, utterly incapable of causing even the slightest disturbance.

With a pale countenance, True Man Situ tilted his head back, his gaze fixed upon the golden, luminous figure standing on the altar. Terror gripped his heart:

Could such a being truly exist in this world... one capable of subjugating the Evil God?

"What on earth... is this divine entity?"

True Man Situ sharpened his focus.

He could not discern the figure clearly through the golden luminescence, only sensing that it appeared to be a child, perhaps around ten years of age. Its beauty was extraordinary, skin like flawless jade, its features so ethereal it was impossible to tell if it were male or female, resembling a celestial being. Golden light enveloped it like robes, its Divine Thought as pure and clear as crystal, radiating a dazzling, godly brilliance that was both majestic and awe-inspiring.

Upon witnessing this, True Man Situ felt a sense of overwhelming shame, as if he were gazing upon a true deity. Yet, after a moment of intense observation, he was further struck with bewilderment.

Why... did it seem so familiar?

How could this near-"divine" existence possibly feel familiar to him?

True Man Situ knitted his brows, a profound sense of puzzlement settling in.

At this very moment, Yu Er, beholding the golden radiant figure, sensed a familiar aura beneath the dazzling brilliance. A glimmer of clarity returned to his previously vacant eyes:

"Brother Mo..."

From a distance, Wenren Wan, upon seeing the unfamiliar yet strikingly familiar golden figure, gasped in shock before murmuring tearfully:

"Mo Hua..."

These two words reached True Man Situ's ears, and at first, he felt a strange resonance of familiarity. Then, after a brief pause, True Man Situ shuddered.

Mo Hua?!

Could this truly be... Mo Hua?!

Distant memories abruptly surged to the forefront of his mind.

The scenes from outside Li State City, memories he had desperately tried to bury, resurfaced with vivid clarity.

Descendant of the Bai Family’s True Man, the junior nephew of the Bai family's sibling pair who possessed Heavenly Spirit Roots. He was also the youngest and final direct disciple. He was the child who survived despite the malice from Gui Tao’s people planting a devil in his Dao heart, the one who had once sought his guidance on establishing the Foundation.

True Man Situ inhaled sharply, as if he had just heard an unbelievable ghost story. "This divine presence I'm sensing… is Mo Hua?"

"Is he… truly 'human'?"

Meanwhile, on the other side, with demonic Qi soaring to the heavens and waves of evil surging like tsunamis, Mo Hua alone held back thousands of demon monsters, even confronting the Evil God on equal footing.

The Evil God let out furious roars under Mo Hua’s small golden hand pressing down on its head. Yet, Mo Hua’s hand, immense as a mountain, suppressed the Evil God’s True Embryo, which, being newly born and not yet recovered, could not break free.

More enraged, the Evil God's pupils suddenly turned black, as if awakening some divine ability. A potent evil thought concentrated between its horns, transforming into a dark evil beam that shot towards Mo Hua.

Mo Hua swung his arm, effortlessly blocking this fatal strike. The clash between the evil thought and golden light resulted in a violent explosion. Mo Hua was pushed back a single step, and the Evil God’s True Embryo seized this fleeting opportunity to escape his grasp.

At the same time, other demon monsters howled and charged at Mo Hua. The potent demonic wraith Qi almost reached him in an instant.

True Man Situ instinctively prepared to shout a warning, but Mo Hua's eyes turned cold. Raising his hand, waves of gold and red light spread out, activating the Goldstone Cremation formation. The goldstone transformed into a cage, and flames surged, creating a sea of fire that incinerated vast numbers of the accompanying demon monsters.

Upon their demise, these demon monsters released copious amounts of vile evil Qi, capable of corrupting a cultivator's Primordial Spirit. However, Mo Hua remained entirely unstained.

Suddenly, a captivating fragrance wafted through the air, and a graceful silhouette materialized. A beautiful, exquisite, and enchanting woman approached Mo Hua, her alluring red lips angling towards his cheek as if to plant a kiss.

Mo Hua turned his head, golden light flashing in his eyes, and cast a glance at her. Instantly, a piercing shriek erupted. The pink embryonic demon screamed, revealing its true form as its flesh decayed into numerous white bones.

In the very next moment, the skeletal remains of the demon monster’s tentacles rapidly ensnared Mo Hua. However, within mere seconds, golden light shattered the restraints. The embryonic demon’s entire wraith form was sliced into fragments and then incinerated by Mo Hua’s dual-finger strike, which conjured a fireball that burned it directly.

The spider-faced demon’s countenance contorted, and it screeched at Mo Hua, unleashing terrifying grievances that pierced Mo Hua's eardrums.

Mo Hua appeared completely unfazed. In response, he let out a roar at the spider demon. This roar resembled a dragon's cry from the heavens, imbued with divine might that directly shattered the spider demon's seven or eight human-like faces.

Innumerable accompanying evil wraiths met swift ends under Mo Hua’s casual onslaught. The three powerful embryonic demon creatures were utterly incapable of withstanding Mo Hua's might.

What unfolded before True Man Situ was a pure, unadulterated, crushing, and brutal massacre executed through divine thought alone.

True Man Situ stood there, utterly stunned, constantly questioning himself: "Is this 'human"?"

"Is this something humans are capable of doing?"

"Is everything I am witnessing now truly real? Or is it merely a hallucination before my imminent death?"
