Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2925: Chapter 167: Divine Priest (2)

They seemed to be fighting for something, yet it also seemed they were proving something.

More like they were ”pleasing” some existence.

Until finally, a piercing cry resounded through heaven and earth, and a blazing fiery fire descended from the sky. The Vermilion Bird bore the fire and landed upon the Divine Altar.

As its wings spread, the deep crimson Divine Thought Fire, like a storm, shrouded the entire Divine Altar.

And within this Divine Altar, various divine presences could not resist the Vermilion Bird Fire, they either perished or fled.

It was then that an ancient deity’s aura of awe burst from the Divine Seat, engaging in a brutal battle with the Vermilion Bird...

The overpowering divine pressure caused time and space to begin to twist.

Afterwards, everything dissipated once more.

Time-rewinding illusions, like bubbles, vanished without a trace.

Mo Hua stared intently once again, finding the surroundings empty except for the statue of the Vermilion Bird with a golden ring in its beak, and that solitary, ancient Divine Seat.

The Vermilion Bird was lifeless.

The ancient Divine Dao Will that had suppressed its descent atop the Divine Seat had also completely dissipated.

But Mo Hua’s expression showed no joy, rather a tinge of melancholy and nostalgia.

For just now, the ancient Divine Dao Will, though its aura was unfamiliar, was in essence very familiar to Mo Hua.

”Great Wilderness Evil God...”

He had consumed many ”Divine Remains” of the Great Wilderness Evil God, even absorbed its true essence’s telekinesis.

It could be said that his own divine foundation, half of it, was ”eaten” from the Great Wilderness Evil God.

And the Great Wilderness Evil God’s will had also been personally wiped out by Mo Hua with robbery thunder.

Therefore, when the Divine Dao Will descended just now, Mo Hua couldn’t help but feel a hint of nostalgia for an ”old friend.”

Yet, unfortunately, Mo Hua could feel that this ancient Divine Dao Will was ”dead.”

The Great Wilderness Evil God might have once descended upon this Divine Altar.

It was even possible that this Divine Altar, or even the Divine Seat, originally belonged to the Great Wilderness Evil God.

But ultimately, the Great Wilderness Evil God ”died”—whether it was killed, sealed, or due to some mishap in divine cultivation, it fell into eternal slumber.

In any case, its divine presence had fallen silent.

What remained on the Divine Altar were some remnants of its past will, still imposing and fearsome enough to strike terror into an Upper Witch like Yan Zhu.

But to Mo Hua, it was merely a lingering aura of a ”familiar old acquaintance.”

As for the truth about the death of the Great Wilderness Evil God...

Mo Hua’s eyes darkened slightly.

The scene of the Vermilion Bird descending with fire during the time rewind appeared again in his mind.

At this moment, Mo Hua finally had a little ”evidence” to verify his conjectures.

This ancient altar of Vermilion Bird Mountain might not be the so-called ”Vermilion Bird Divine Altar” at all.

Not the ”Divine Altar” anciently mythologized in the Barbaric Wilderness as dedicated to the Vermilion Bird.

But should be the altar ”sealed” by the Vermilion Bird.

It’s the Divine Altar where the Saint Beast of Great Wilderness, the Vermilion Bird, uses the deep crimson Vermilion Bird Fire to seal the ancient ”Great Wilderness Evil God.”

The Vermilion Bird was sealing the Evil God here.

The ancestors of the Great Wilderness worshipped the Vermilion Bird to continually provide faith power to the Saint Beast Vermilion Bird, so it could eternally suppress the terrifying Evil Deity once seated upon this ancient Divine Seat.

—Or more precisely, the part of the origin power of that terrifying evil deity.

The handiwork is obvious.

Mo Hua gazed deeply, whispering:

”Great Witch...”

The Great Witch created the Vermilion Bird Saint Beast, and with the Vermilion Bird, sealed the Great Wilderness Evil God, residing within this Mountain Realm authority.

There are in total four Saint Beasts of the Great Wilderness.

Mo Hua even speculated...

Did the Great Witch create the Four Saints of the Great Wilderness specifically to... oppose and suppress the ancient Great Wilderness Evil God?

Was it because of the Great Witch that the Great Wilderness Evil God ”fell silent”?

What exactly did the Great Witch do to the Great Wilderness Evil God?

And in what era did this event occur?

The hidden history of the Great Wilderness, is it the ”Divine Way War History” between the Great Witch and the Great Wilderness Evil God? Are the many formations and divine heritages of the Great Wilderness derived from this?

Mo Hua frowned deeply.

The more he explored, the more he knew, the more shocking it became.

And what weighed even heavier on Mo Hua’s heart...

Was the feeling that what he was doing now seemed exactly like what the Great Witch once did.

He was retracing the ”old path” of the Great Witch, step by step forward.

But the issue is, while walking the Great Witch’s path, he seemed to be... also walking the path of the ”Great Wilderness God Master...”

The slayer of dragons turns into the Evil Dragon.

But the problem is that from the beginning, it seems he has been both the ”slayer of dragons” and the ”Evil Dragon.”

He is both the one combating the Great Wilderness Evil God.

Simultaneously, he is also the one eating the ”flesh” of the Great Wilderness Evil God, step by step approaching the ”Divine Way.”

Mo Hua sighed lightly, ceasing to think further.

Whether slayer of dragons or evil dragon, it no longer mattered.

A path of certain ”fate” already lay before him.

If he wished to survive the chess game of the Great Wilderness, save the living beings here, and establish his own Dao, then he could only accept his fate serenely.

Even if the Great Witch, whose life and death remains unknown, was watching him.

Even if the divine way of preserving heavenly order and eradicating human desires will gradually obliterate his humanity...

This road, he could only continue walking...

”The Divine Way of the Great Wilderness wanes, the world is in chaos, demon monsters and ghosts all claim godhood...”

”Then today, I too shall become a god of the Great Wilderness, become the master of the gods of the Great Wilderness...”

Mo Hua’s pupils deepened as he slowly sat upon the ancient Divine Seat.

At that instant, heaven and earth trembled, and the ancient Vermilion Bird Mountain Range welcomed its new master as the vast earth began to quiver.
