Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2387: Chapter 1087: The Strange Smiling Face (Part 3)

At the same time, enlightenment dawned on Mr. Tu.

As he unraveled these mysteries, he finally understood what the test given by Mo Hua, this "Instructor," really was:

The Sun Dial Formation was counting down.

Once the countdown ended, the Reversed Spirit Formation would trigger, and the Blood Sacrifice Array would collapse.

A millennium of hard work, destroyed in an instant.

And what he must do is, before the Sun Dial Formation’s countdown ends, find every possible way to unravel the Reversed Spirit killing setup laid down by Mo Hua, avoid the Reversed Spirit Formation, and prevent the collapse of the formation eye’s core, thus saving the Blood Sacrifice Array...

This was the "gift" that the despicable monstrosity, Mo Hua, left him.

The Sun Dial Formation kept turning.

The pointer circled around, tick by tick, approaching the final "deadline."

Once the Sun Dial reached the end, the test would conclude, and the Reversed Spirit Formation would explode.

An unprecedented urgency pressed heavily upon Mr. Tu’s heart, as if his chest was weighed down with a giant boulder, heavy as a thousand jun.

Mr. Tu breathed in deeply.

At this moment, no one could help him; he could only use all his might to tackle Mo Hua’s "test."

"Reversed Spirit Formation..."

Mr. Tu’s brows were shrouded in a layer of frost.

Though he was a fourth-grade Formation Master, and a favored one of the Evil God, he truly wasn’t capable of this second-grade Reversed Spirit Ultimate Formation.

Such an Ultimate Formation, if one were to understand it, requires both comprehension and opportunity; it isn’t something you can learn just by wanting to.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be called "Ultimate Formation."

Ultimate Formations, generally understood as "supreme grade" formations, are also referred to as "extinct formations."

Because they are rare, hard to master, difficult to refine, and rarely passed down, most Ultimate Formations have become "extinct."

Mr. Tu wasn’t versed in Reversed Spirit Formations, thus naturally didn’t know how to dismantle them.

Additionally, to rashly dismantle them, if done wrongly, would not be as simple as losing "points."

Then cut off the connection between the Sun Dial Formation and the Reversed Spirit Formation?

This way, without the countdown, at least in the short term, the Reversed Spirit Formation wouldn’t explode.

Just like during an exam, if you break the clock, this "exam" wouldn’t end.

Mr. Tu tried, but found it was not feasible.

This Sun Dial Formation was rather strange; its surroundings were filled with Mystery Formations, the formation patterns complex, with no pattern at all.

In a short time, Mr. Tu couldn’t clarify how this Sun Dial Formation operated or how it was linked with the entire Reversed Spirit Formation.

Obviously, the shrewd and cunning Mo Hua would not allow such "cheating" loopholes to exist.

Mr. Tu could only abandon this approach and consider how to directly resolve the Reversed Spirit formation patterns.

A lifetime of formation experience flashed through Mr. Tu’s mind.

Mr. Tu, being a fourth-grade Formation Master, quickly came up with a plan:

If it couldn’t be solved, then it must be fragmented, isolating each in turn, severing the connections between the Reversed Spirit formation patterns and the Blood Sacrifice Array’s pivot, thereby preventing the array pivot from being detonated by the Reversed Spirit Formation...

Mr. Tu used his sharp fingers, dipped in human blood, to carve one blood pattern after another on the giant beast’s bones, using the Great Wilderness Blood Formation to isolate Mo Hua’s Mystery Formations.

Shangguan Wang and his two companions watched Mr. Tu solemnly drawing formations, exchanging glances, and frowning in silence.

Due to time constraints, Mr. Tu had no time to converse with the three.

The Sun Dial continued to turn, time slowly slipping away.

Mr. Tu’s fingers danced as he laid down blood marks one by one, dismantling and isolating Mo Hua’s formations...

Yet as he dismantled more, he found more Reversed Spirit Formations laid by Mo Hua.

Moreover, these Reversed Spirit Formations were tightly bonded with the Blood Sacrifice Array’s core.

Almost every Reversed Spirit pattern corresponded to a node in the Array’s core, and once detonated, it would rapidly propagate using the Array’s pivot, maximizing the destructive power of the Reversed Spirit...

Additionally, all of the Reversed Spirit Formations weren’t singular; they were thoughtfully planned, meticulously calculated, interlinked, and complemented each other, like sharp "bone blades" dissecting the Blood Sacrifice Array’s pivot from head to tail...

Mr. Tu’s fingers trembled with sudden shock, as he realized another startling fact:

To build such a grand formation is beyond the capabilities of an ordinary Formation Master...

This... could only be achieved by a master who has constructed real large formations and is thoroughly familiar with the core structure of the formation’s pivot, capable of overseeing the entire situation, managing everything from a superior vantage.

This meant...

Mr. Tu’s pupils contracted, his gaze filled with horror.

Mo Hua, this disciple at merely Foundation Establishment Realm... turned out to be the main Formation Master?

For calculation purposes, he’s only lived a little over twenty years, yet managed... to personally construct Tao Cultivation large formations?!

Mr. Tu was filled with astonishment, feeling as if he’d utterly wasted his thousand years of life.

Mo Hua, this child is indeed absurdly extraordinary.

Mr. Tu couldn’t believe it.

But formations don’t lie; either one knows or doesn’t know.

The expertise in the formation before his eyes couldn’t contain any falsehood.

Mr. Tu instantly felt as if a massive mountain was weighing on his back; the heavy pressure almost made him unable to lift his head.

He realized, his opponent wasn’t just a simple formation genius or a typical second-grade high-level Formation Master, nor merely a simple Formation Leader from the Qian Learning State Boundary.

But a reversed spirit with Divine Thought beyond a Core Formation stage.

A monster capable of comprehending Ultimate Formations, proficient in ancient Mystery Formations.

A young prodigy Formation Master who could construct large formations.

Such talents couldn’t be measured by the word "genius" anymore.
