Mo Hua confronted a heavy-armored barbarian soldier, trying to extract the armor. The soldier, terrified of Mo Hua's perceived demonic nature, eventually agreed to a bet: Mo Hua would attempt to break his nearly indestructible armor, and if successful, the soldier would become his servant. Mo Hua then had a Golden Core traitor, Iron Skill Bone, attack the soldier with a spear, using the prolonged fight to observe and deduce the armor's formation secrets over five days. He successfully deciphered a new Ultimate Formation from the armor.

"Another Ultimate Formation!"

Mo Hua’s heart trembled slightly, mixed with a sense of reflection.

Ultimate Formations are elusive, either impossible to find despite efforts, or they appear all at once, overwhelming you.

No wonder the master said that finding an Ultimate Formation relies on chance, luck, and sometimes even fate.

Some things are destined, while pursuit of others is futile without fate.

However, Mo Hua pondered and felt it wasn’t all about "fate" and "luck."

Ultimate Formations are related to deeper Laws.

The deeper the understanding of Law, the more sensitive one becomes to clues of Ultimate Formations.

Similarly, the stronger the Divine Sense, the more profound the formation expertise, the higher the Heavenly secret Calculation, the easier to uncover hidden secrets of the world and find traces of Ultimate Formations.

At least this Bone Absolute Formation was forced out from the "tortoise shell" like Bone Heavy Armor through Law deductions, Divine Sense Calculation, and various methods.

Thus, if "fate" is not favorable, one must keep cultivating, enhancing power, and actively changing fate.

If "luck" is insufficient, one must continue to realize, increase the perception of Law, own eyes that see through fortunes, seize and grasp luck themselves.

Mo Hua nodded, feeling enlightened about seemingly useless but profoundly useful truths.

Next, it was time to learn new Ultimate Formations.

Mo Hua felt expectant, but maintained an impassive expression, saying to the Iron Skill Bone and the Heavy Armored Barbarian Soldiers:

"Alright, you can stop now."

The Iron Skill Bone and the Heavy Armored Barbarian Soldiers, who were fighting fiercely, finally paused, gasping with red eyes.

These two had done Mo Hua a great favor.

These days, they fought relentlessly until utterly exhausted, then rested to recover Strength, and continued battling.

The Heavy Armored Barbarian Soldier truly wanted to kill Iron Skill Bone, the "traitor" who betrayed the Barbarian God and ancestors.

"Traitor" Iron Skill Bone initially didn’t want to kill, but grew enraged, intent on killing as the battle continued.

He was a Golden Core, restricted by Mountain Realm, yet his cultivation exceeded the Heavy Armored Barbarian Soldier.

However, the Heavy Armored Barbarian Soldier, equipped with Bone Heavy Armor, was indestructible, equal in real mortal combat.

Their mutual attempts to kill became almost like "mortal enemies", battling ceaselessly.

Thus, the Bone Heavy Armor endured prolonged attacks, with its Formation continuously circulating inside.

This provided great convenience for Mo Hua to perform formation calculations.

This formation calculation is extremely sophisticated, and Mo Hua did it covertly. Few knew he had such extraordinary skills.

Mo Hua preferred not to reveal, otherwise, he would constantly face prevention.

Stealthily calculating formations would be much harder then.

Mo Hua felt serious as he glanced at the Heavy Armored Barbarian Soldier and nodded slightly, saying:

"I admit, your Shugubu ancestors’ Bone Heavy Armor is remarkable. Even the enchanted spear can’t break it..."

"But don’t celebrate too early. I will seek the Divine Lord’s oracle. Surely, there will be a way to break your heavy armor, crush your Barbarian god’s prestige, disgrace your ancestors and show you the true meaning of divine power..."

Mo Hua used words to provoke him, preventing self-destruction.

This Heavy Armored Barbarian Soldier is a staunchly loyal warrior of the Barbarian Tribes, superstitious and simple-minded, not a match for Mo Hua’s cunning.

A hundred of him wouldn’t have Mo Hua’s multitude of tricks in mind.

Upon hearing, he indeed turned furious, sneered:

"Fine, I, Adage, will uphold the honor of the Barbarian God and ancestors. I’ll show you, Demon, the might of Shugubu heavy armor and our ancestors’ immortal legacy!"

"Adage... is that the name of this Barbarian Soldier?"

"The names of Shugubu truly are peculiar..."

Mo Hua muttered internally and smirked, "Overestimating himself."

Then he instructed Iron Skill Bone to watch this Heavy Armored Barbarian Soldier named "Adage," and turned to leave.

After leaving, Mo Hua found a secret room, sealed all around with formation, eagerly took out the Bone Heavy Armor Formation Diagram he had just recreated, and began careful study.

Second Grade Twenty Patterns Ultimate Formation.

This formation grade is below Mo Hua’s twenty-three patterns Taoist Divine Sense, so he is fully capable of learning it.

The Formation Diagram was personally deduced and recreated by Mo Hua, so the format of Formation Patterns is not difficult.

The only challenge remains the "Law" contained within the Ultimate Formation.

Formation combined with Law is called Formation.

Every formation contains certain "Laws."

Ultimate Formations and ordinary formations are fundamentally composed of "Laws."

But ordinary formations, restricted to usual grades, contain weak powers of Laws, relying more on the outside "format" operation.

One can learn ordinary formations without understanding Laws; drawing Patterns confers certain power and effect.

Certainly, understanding a bit of weak Laws enhances, making drawn formations superior to others’.

But Ultimate Formations differ.

The "power of Laws" contained in Ultimate Formations is stronger and more unique.

This power of Laws transcends Formation Patterns’ format.

To learn Ultimate Formations, one must comprehend related Laws and Taoist Meaning.

Otherwise, merely understanding outward Formation Patterns is futile.

Only possessing the external without internal, the formation without law, shape without spirit fails to grasp Ultimate Formations.
