Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2300: Chapter 1058: Ten Thousand Demons Gathering (Part 3)

Following that was the earth-shaking roar of corpses, and the sound of sharp claws constantly scratching the coffin.

The half-human, half-corpse Feather Transformation Demon Head immediately widened his eyes and said in a booming voice:

"The Golden Corpse is awake?!"

Without a second thought, his right arm transformed into a giant corpse claw and pressed down on the coffin lid.

With the sharp claws of his left hand, he tore open his tongue, dipped it in thick blood, and drew some sinister runes on the blood-patterned golden coffin.

Yet this previously invincible Corpse Nourishing Talisman seemed unable to intimidate the Golden Corpse.

The Golden Corpse continued to roar, struggle, and relentlessly assault the golden coffin that bound it.

The coffin lid of Yin Corpse Valley was almost unable to hold it down.

And with this sudden upheaval, the surging Corpse Qi frightened Mo Hua, causing the killing intent and Evil Qi in his heart to dissipate.

He hurriedly took a step back, avoiding the golden coffin, then calmed his mind and stabilized his Taoist Heart.

The Evil Qi vanished, the blood-colored karma receded, and the terrifying figure emerging from the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood once again lay dormant within Mo Hua’s Life Chart.

All abnormalities vanished along with it.

The unusual movements of the blood-patterned golden coffin also gradually ceased, and the Golden Corpse inside fell back into slumber.

The half-corpse Feather Transformation Old Demon sealed the blood-patterned golden coffin once more, then immediately turned his head, looking intensely at Mo Hua, his eyes filled with incredulous shock.

Corpse King Qi?!

This young man possesses the aura of a Ten Thousand Corpse King?

Moreover, it’s low-level, controllable, and capable of growth—a perfect seed for Corpse Refinement.

The half-corpse Feather Transformation Old Demon suppressed the trembling in his heart, pointed his withered finger at Mo Hua, and said to Mr. Tu with a voice laced with corpse decay:

"This kid... I want him!"

Mr. Tu’s pupils slightly contracted, and he said calmly, "I need a reason."

"This kid carries..." the half-corpse Feather Transformation Old Demon hesitated, not revealing the ’Corpse King’ seed, but instead said with a somber look, "the heritage of my Yin Corpse Valley."

Mr. Tu frowned.

On the other side, the Feather Transformation Realm Sword Slave elder showed a weathered expression, "No. If this kid is to be given, it can only be to me."

The half-corpse Feather Transformation Old Demon asked sharply, "What do you want him for?"

The Sword Slave elder replied, "He bears the lost Sword Dao heritage of Taixu Gate. The old me wants to present this heritage to the Demon Sword to nourish the Sword Stream."

The half-corpse Old Demon sneered, "How could he, a Foundation Establishment, possibly learn the lost heritage of Taixu Gate?"

The Sword Slave elder responded coldly, "How could he, a disciple of Taixu Gate, possibly possess the heritage of your Yin Corpse Valley?"

The two opposing demonic auras gradually rose, locked in confrontation.

The two Feather Transformation Demon Heads stared coldly at each other, neither willing to back down.

The atmosphere in the great hall was tense, and everyone grew nervous.

Shangguan Wang observed the tigers from a distance, saying nothing.

But Mr. Tu had to speak.

He lowered his gaze, his voice hoarse as he said, "I have said before, this child’s identity is special. Before the Large Formation is completed and the Divine Lord descends, no one should touch this kid. After the Divine Lord descends, then determine his fate."

"Both of you bear the mission of a sect. Do not ruin the great cause over a momentary dispute."

The half-corpse Old Demon glanced at Mo Hua and suppressed his desire, nodding silently.

The Sword Slave elder also showed a withered expression, saying no more.

They had to give face to Mr. Tu.

Besides, the matter of the Blood Sacrifice Array was more important at the moment. It concerned the grand scheme of the Demon Path, and they couldn’t ignore priorities.

The two Feather Transformation Old Demons lowered their flags and sheathed their sabers, easing the tension.

And with this incident, the Ten Thousand Demons Gathering could only end here.

Mr. Tu said, "Other matters can be discussed later."

"The urgent matter is to fully activate the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation, transforming all parts of the Qianxue state boundary into wastelands, laying a foundation for the revival of the Divine Lord."

"Once the Divine Lord is born, boundless fear will descend upon the world, marking the resurgence of our Demon Path."

The many demon cultivators, upon hearing this, all showed bloodlust in their eyes, salivating as they cupped their hands and said:

"We are willing to follow the Gentleman’s words and obey the Divine Lord’s command."

...

After the Ten Thousand Demons Gathering ended, Mr. Tu personally took Mo Hua to the depths of the Great Wilderness Prison’s dungeon.

He said nothing, only giving Mo Hua a deep look before leaving, his eyes reflecting some incomprehension.

Not only was he puzzled, but Mo Hua was also somewhat confused.

In the dungeon of the Great Wilderness Prison.

Mo Hua lay on a rug on the ground, eyes slightly narrowed, pondering the events of the Ten Thousand Demons Gathering.

That coffin in the Feather Transformation Demon of Yin Corpse Valley’s care—could it be raising... a Golden Corpse?

Why did this Golden Corpse suddenly act up?

Why did the half-human, half-corpse old demon insist on pinpointing me?

What does this have to do with me?

Mo Hua frowned.

Because of... the Corpse King of Nanyue City?

But wasn’t the Corpse King already dead?

Could it be that there’s still a karmic connection with the Corpse King hidden on me? Hidden where?

It was Mo Hua’s first realization that karma might be far more profound and complex than he had imagined, and that many of the karmic mysteries upon him seemed even he hadn’t fully understood...

In addition, there was that Feather Transformation Sword Slave elder from the Demon Sword Sect.

He said he wanted to use the lost Sword Dao heritage of Taixu Gate to feed the Demon Sword?

What exactly is this ’Demon Sword’ of the Demon Sword Sect?

Is it merely an Evil Sword, a heritage, a Sword Stream, or... something ’living’ that survives by devouring other Sword Dao Skills?

That Sword Slave elder, though he seemed calm and collected, had he been fixated on my Taixu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue from the start?

He wants to capture me, torture the Sword True Jue out of me, and then feed it to the Demon Sword?

Mo Hua’s head ached a bit.

Thus far, he had encountered four Feather Transformation beings in this Large Formation.

Shangguan Wang wanted to kill him.

The Feather Transformation of Yin Corpse Valley wanted to capture him.

The Feather Transformation of the Demon Sword Sect would not let him go.

Considering all these, being by Mr. Tu’s side was actually the safest.

At least before the true rebirth of the Master of the Great Wilderness, he shouldn’t lay a hand on him.

Mo Hua breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But in any case, this Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation was definitely no place to stay for long.

The old demons of the Feather Transformation Realm aside, even the Golden Core Demons from various other Demon Sects were no easy characters to deal with either.

Plans had to be made early, ways to rescue Yu Er and leave the formation needed to be found.

"I just don’t know where Yu Er is now..."

Mo Hua’s gaze sharpened slightly.

There was another matter...

According to the second elder of the Demon Sect, also a shaman of the Desolate Royal Family: there is a Wilderness Ancient Formation Map formed by ancient strange patterns, obtained from the Endless Barbaric Wilderness Abyss, improved by the Great Witch of the Great Wilderness, and later sealed by the Shen Tu Royal Family. It’s engraved inside a statue of an Evil God with a human face and ram horns...

This statue of an Evil God with a human face and ram horns is very likely hidden in the temple at the center of this Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation.

And the Wilderness Ancient Formation Map inside the Evil God statue is very likely his bounded formation map for Core Formation... his Lifebound Formation Map!
