The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2396: Fateful Evilness of Karma, A Thought Between Immortal and Demon (part 2)

Engulfed by an aura of black, gray, and blood-red liquid, Mo Hua emanated an extreme malevolence, appearing as a reborn Demon Head from an apocalypse.

His Taoist Heart was being consumed by this very Demonic Thought.

Drenched in Corpse Qi, Evil Qi, and malevolent Qi, Mo Hua resembled an "unprecedented Evil Embryo."

What emerged from this Evil Embryo was a world-shattering Demon Head.

Sensing this shocking Demonic Qi, the gates of Taixu began to tremble.

Within the ancient temple, Sword Intent surged, upholding the heavenly way.

On the mist-shrouded rear mountain, the ancestral tablets of Taixu Gate started to quiver.

Elder Master Xun’s face contorted in horror and alarm.

Mo Hua’s Life Chart was in complete reversal!

From a pure-hearted genius dedicated to mastering Formations, comprehending the Heavenly Dao, and bringing prosperity to all beings of the Righteous Dao, he was transforming into an "apocalyptic Great Demon Head." He would be accompanied by Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea, with karmic mutations heralding his reign, and an Evil Embryo hatching into a deity!

"This is dire!"

Elder Master Xun immediately extended a finger to his forehead, activating his Divine Thought. He guided the Eryi Heavenly Mechanism Lock of Taixu, intending to intercept Mo Hua’s Qi machine and karma, suppress his Evil Qi, and strive to prevent his Taoist Heart from reversing, lest he plummet into the Abyss bit by bit.

True Man Situ, still suffering from severe injuries, clung to his last breath, enduring the agony of his Sea of Consciousness fracturing. He exerted himself to shield Mo Hua with the Seven Stars and stabilize his spirit with the Soul Lamp.

Yet, in the face of the terrifying great karma of the Taoist Demon, the Evil Embryo, and endless fatal malevolence, these resistances from the heavenly secrets were but a drop in the vast ocean.

Mo Hua’s Life Chart continued its reversal.

His physical form was also being consumed incrementally by the Corpse Qi, Evil Qi, and malevolent Qi...

Gazing at Mo Hua’s darkened face, Elder Master Xun’s heart ached.

True Man Situ also felt overwhelming panic.

At this critical juncture, another twist occurred, and the very earth began to quake.

A dense, ancient, and benevolent Taoist Meaning surged forth from the earth veins. The profound earthly radiance merged into Mo Hua’s being, dissolving the calamity he faced.

Elder Master Xun’s expression shifted to astonishment. "The Earth Dao Meaning is protecting Mo Hua..."

Could this be... a repayment of a past debt?

And it was not merely that...

Another ancient and immense aura began to gather between heaven and earth at that very moment.

Elder Master Xun abruptly looked upward, his pupils constricting.

The heavens themselves had transformed.

Fierce winds erupted, and the mountains and forests roared.

Amidst the escalating winds and swirling clouds, a massive cloud layer, spanning hundreds of miles, howled and converged above Taixu Mountain. It formed an unimaginably vast whirlpool of a cloud sea, capable of obscuring the sky and sun.

Within it, the most rigid and potent heavenly secrets were surging.

Across the entirety of the Qianxue State Boundary, countless cultivators, even all Heaven Void Ancestors, raised their gazes to the heavens, directed towards Taixu Mountain. Their expressions were shaken, their eyes filled with bewilderment.

"The movement of the heavens is vigorous; a gentleman should continuously strive for self-improvement."

"This is... the heavenly secret of the Qian Path!"

"The heavenly secret of the Qian Path is gathering directly above Taixu Gate..."

"What could have transpired..."

Before the words fully registered, a pure white, auspicious Qi, majestic and vast, descended from the sky. It illuminated the rear mountain of Taixu Gate directly, penetrating countless layers of Formation, and enveloped Mo Hua.

This pristine white, supremely rigid and strong Heavenly Dao Qi bolstered Mo Hua’s Life Chart.

The dark, fatal malevolence began to dissipate instantly.

The reversal of Mo Hua’s Life Chart started to recede.

Elder Master Xun, stunned, exchanged a look with True Man Situ and suddenly understood.

This was... the fortune of the Qianxue State Boundary, no, it was the fortune of the entire Qian State, bestowed by the Qian Path.

Despite Mo Hua’s countless kills, he had simultaneously saved innumerable lives.

Had he not detonated the Great Formation and annihilated all Demon Cultivators, the Blood Sacrifice Array would have spread. With Demon Cultivators running rampant, the Qianxue State Boundary, and indeed the entire Qian State, would have faced a catastrophe that devastated all living beings.

This was the balance of karma between heaven and earth.

He had slain countless individuals, accumulating immense karmic sin, thus triggering the terrifying "fateful evilness."

However, he had also preserved countless lives, the immense merit he garnered leading to the descent of auspiciousness and the bestowal of the Qian Path's fortune upon him.

A Taoist Heart as pure as a child's, saving the denizens of a land, a region, even an entire state.

This was the true meaning of "great fortune."

Blessed by the fortune of the Qian Path, Mo Hua's 'Life Chart' underwent a profound metamorphosis.

Opposing Qi forces, one righteous and one malevolent, commenced a fierce struggle and slaughter.

The Earth's Dao Meaning, with its core principle of 'defense,' served as a bulwark.

Drawing upon the life-giving force of 'virtue bearing all,' it sustained Mo Hua's foundation, ensuring his Qi flowed without interruption and subduing the terrifying Corpse Qi, karmic Qi, and Evil Qi that had previously plagued his Life Chart.

Conversely, the Qian Path's fortune embodied the essence of 'slaughter.'

The resplendent white Heavenly Dao fortune relentlessly counterbalanced the encroaching, profound darkness of malevolence, ceaselessly dispelling its influence.

One stemmed from the karmic retribution of taking lives, the other from the merit gained by saving them;

The apocalyptic malevolence and the redeeming fortune, a stark contrast of black and white, commingled above Mo Hua's Life Chart, vast and enigmatic, reminiscent of Taiji in its perpetual, flowing motion.

Through this delicate equilibrium, both forces converged and merged into Mo Hua's Life Chart.

Consequently, all karma and fateful malevolence were eradicated.

Corpse Qi and Evil Qi were suppressed, and the Earth Dao Meaning entered a dormant state.

The Evil Qi and the heavenly secrets became intertwined, maintaining a delicate balance.

Above Taixu Gate, the Qian Path's fortune gradually dispersed, its auspicious white light receding. The vortex of clouds that had formed transformed into scattered clouds, adorning the sky.

The ominous signs within Mo Hua's Life Chart vanished.

The dark Evil Qi, the blood-red malevolence, and the ashen Corpse Qi that had coiled around his body completely receded.

A healthy flush returned to Mo Hua's previously pale face.

The chill in his hands and feet dissipated, replaced by warmth.

His breathing stabilized, even emitting a faint, rhythmic sound, as if he were in a deep slumber.

Elder Master Xun and True Man Situ observed in a state of profound awe.
