The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2395: Fateful Evilness of Karma, A Thought Between Immortal and Demon

The ancestral grounds of Taixu Gate, nestled in the back mountain, held an elder's cave mansion.

Within this tranquil abode, Mo Hua lay upon the Heavenly Mechanism Jade Bed. His eyes were tightly shut, his countenance etched with darkness, his body possessed a chilling coldness, and an imposing aura of 'death' emanated from him.

The relentless flow of evil qi, born from karma, continuously surged into Mo Hua's forehead, actively eroding his life chart.

A cultivator's life chart is typically an enigma, elusive to perception.

Only those who are masters of heavenly secrets, possessing a profound grasp of karma, and aided by celestial treasures or arcane karmic techniques, can catch a fleeting glimpse of an individual's destiny.

For ordinary cultivators, discerning the life charts of others remains an impossibility.

However, a peculiar circumstance arises wherein a person's life chart becomes unmistakably visible, emerging from its sealed palace.

This phenomenon occurs when an individual's life chart confronts an extreme upheaval.

When faced with immense calamities and life-threatening disasters, or when undergoing astonishing transformations, or when burdened by significant karmic debts, a person's fate undergoes a drastic metamorphosis.

At such critical junctures, a life chart, meticulously forged by one's own karmic essence, reveals its true form, breaking free from the sealed palace of life.

Even a common cultivator can then behold it with their naked eye...

Presently, Mo Hua's life chart was faintly discernible to both Elder Master Xun and True Man Situ.

His life chart was now extensively permeated by a grim, deathly evil qi.

The sheer potency, vast scale, overwhelming quantity, intense malevolence, and the profound depths of murder and karma contained within this evil qi were such that even Elder Master Xun, a supreme expert of the Heaven Void Realm, and True Man Situ, a formidable figure from Mystery Valley, were witnessing such a phenomenon for the first time in their lives, filling them with profound horror.

They dared not falter in the slightest, deploying every conceivable method to suppress the encroaching evil qi engulfing Mo Hua.

The gentle scent of sandalwood incense, designed to calm the mind, permeated the chamber.

True Man Situ meticulously set up the Little Xuantian Seven Stars Formation, utilizing the guiding light of the seven stars to safeguard Mo Hua's delicate life chart.

His Qiankun Clear Light Lamp was no longer functional, and the Six Yang Red Gold Lamp lay shattered. Consequently, he procured an alternative, the Bright Lamp Calming God Lamp, igniting a soul lamp to fortify Mo Hua's wavering divine sense.

Elder Master Xun employed the Taixu Celestial Mechanism Compass, activating the powerful Taixu Eryi Heavenly Mechanism Lock affixed to Mo Hua's neck. Its purpose was to counteract the ceaseless torrent of evil qi and ultimately resolve Mo Hua's perilous predicament.

However, the situation remained dire.

Mo Hua's eyes were kept shut, his lips had lost their color, and his expression grew increasingly strained, betraying the immense suffering he endured.

His limbs turned progressively colder, and the malevolent energy intensified.

Elder Master Xun observed this with a heavy heart, feeling deep anguish.

True Man Situ, too, felt a profound sense of reluctance, coupled with astonishment.

Any ordinary cultivator, or even some adept heavenly mechanism practitioners, subjected to such an oceanic backlash of evil qi, would have long succumbed, their minds twisted beyond recognition, the malevolent energy invading their bodies, obliterating their Sea of Consciousness, and leading to their demise.

Alternatively, they would have been consumed by the karmic backlash of the evil qi, resulting in death and the dissipation of their Dao.

Yet, Mo Hua, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, and so young, managed to endure this ordeal for an extended duration.

His Taoist Heart exhibited an astonishing resilience.

Indeed, his life chart proved to be remarkably 'unyielding'...

Recalling Mo Hua's myriad of improbable feats within the nightmares of the Evil God and his divine thought power, which rivaled that of deities, True Man Situ found a sliver of reassurance.

However, this comfort was short-lived, as he soon furrowed his brows once more.

Regardless of the strength of one's divine thought or the hardiness of their life chart, it was utterly incapable of withstanding the relentless, overwhelming erosion of this deathly evil qi.

This particular evil qi was overwhelmingly potent; even true deities of heaven and earth might succumb to its 'corruption,' falling prey to wicked, malevolent spirits.

The outlook was far from optimistic.

A shared worry furrowed the brows of both True Man Situ and Elder Master Xun.

The Seven Stars Formation, the God Calming Lamp, and the Taixu Eryi Heavenly Mechanism Lock, while formidable against ordinary malevolence, offered little solace against the current 'wickedness,' which was boundless, immeasurable, and fraught with extreme peril.

Furthermore, despite Mo Hua's formidable divine thought, his cultivation base was exceedingly low, and his Taoist Foundation was too shallow, rendering the more potent heavenly mechanism techniques unusable.

In this dire situation, Elder Master Xun and True Man Situ could only unite their efforts, employing every available means to suppress the evil qi plaguing Mo Hua, alleviate his 'fateful malevolence,' and sustain his fading 'life.'

An abundance of bloodshed allowed malevolent Qi to infiltrate destiny. This external evil Qi relentlessly poured into Mo Hua’s life chart, disrupting its original pattern and unleashing more dreadful variables within.

A sinister crimson hue began to seep from Mo Hua’s life chart.

Ancient, wicked thoughts also enshrouded Mo Hua’s fate.

The genuine ‘great terror’ dwelling in Mo Hua’s life chart started to expose its grim countenance.

The vast domain of karma, formed from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, began to spread.

A Corpse King, entwined with a demonic Taoist aura, presided over countless deceased forms. It inhaled and exhaled boundless, inky-black evil Qi, letting out a roar that shook the very heavens.

Beneath the colossal heap of corpses and the sanguinary ocean, an ‘evil embryo,’ pitch-black and mirroring Mo Hua’s face, was nurtured by the pervading evil Qi, and it began to stir, opening its eyes.

The ancient malevolent thoughts commenced their transformation...

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the Taoist Demon manifesting, the Corpse King roaring, the evil embryo opening its eyes.

True Man Situ was so utterly astounded that his soul felt as if it were about to depart his body.

Elder Master Xun also felt an icy chill creep over his entire being, his palms trembling uncontrollably.

“What are all these… entities?”

“How could this child Mo Hua’s life chart conceal… such potent karma from the most ferocious heavenly and earthly calamities?!”

“This is… not good!”

Elder Master Xun’s countenance shifted drastically.

Almost instantaneously, provoked by the slaughter and the aura of death, all the corpse Qi, evil Qi, and sinister energies within Mo Hua’s life chart converged, merging and condensing into a singular force.

The life chart itself began to undergo a profound metamorphosis.
