Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2430: Chapter 1101: Heavenly Demon (Part 3)

The Heavenly Demon calamity, once capable of bringing the world to ruin, is about to reappear.

My lifelong dedication, and the sacrifices of the Taixu lineage over the millennia, will all come to nothing.

And this great catastrophe, should be upon myself... no, it should be upon that child ”Mo Hua”.

He is the ”Heavenly Demon’s guide”.

All of this is forged from my selfishness.

”Despicable creature! Die!”

Patriarch Dugu’s gaze was cold, he bit his tongue, summoned his spirit, and then relentlessly mobilized all his Divine Thought.

His chest heaved like bellows, his dry and skinny body like haunted wood, yet the powerful Sword Intent surged from him.

Extreme, pure, pure white Sword Intent condensed into threads of swords.

All the broken swords in the Sword Tomb gathered around Patriarch Dugu like raindrops.

”Taixu Sword Transformation, Heaven’s net of swords.”

Patriarch Dugu pointed to the sky, the sword rain and threads surged like huge waves, roaring skyward, forming a massive sword web that enveloped all the Heavenly Demons in the sky, killing them one by one.

Mo Hua’s expression was shocked.

He didn’t expect that just by relying on a cultivator’s Divine Thought, the sword formed by the Divine Thought could be so strong.

But in an instant, another even stronger, colder, and terrifying Heavenly Demon aura emerged from the crack in the sky.

Mo Hua’s pupils shrank, ”This is... Fifth grade?”

”A Thousand-faced Heavenly Demon...” Patriarch Dugu’s expression was bitter, his mood extremely heavy, and finally he sighed softly.

”Now, I have no choice...”

Patriarch Dugu reached out, pulled out a Broken Sword from the Sword Tomb in front of him, as if meeting an old friend, his expression was nostalgic.

Then he held the sword handle, a stronger aura emerged from the Broken Sword, resonating with his Sword Heart.

The Laws of Sword Dao almost solidified, wandering around Patriarch Dugu.

This time, the momentum was not vast, yet it was extremely mysterious, and it carried a terrifying aura of Law destruction.

In the crack in the sky, an even more gigantic Heavenly Demon slowly revealed its figure full of grievances.

It seemed to be trying hard to break through the barrier of the Heavenly Dao Seal and invade the world it had coveted for a long time, full of human hearts and desires.

This was a Fifth grade Thousand-faced Heavenly Demon of terrifying strength.

Patriarch Dugu’s expression was icy, his eyes stern, pointing his Broken Sword to the sky, chanting softly:

”Tai Xu Divine Thought into sword...”

”Extinguishing Divine Skill.”

In that instant, all of Patriarch Dugu’s Divine Thought began to rapidly deplete, and at the same time, the terrifying aura of Sword Dao spread.

The Laws of Heaven and Earth began to annihilate.

The Thousand-faced Heavenly Demon, just showing its head, full of ferocious human faces, in that instant was distorted by the Laws of Sword Dao, each human face began to shatter, returning to the void.

The Fifth grade Heavenly Demon began to rage, roaring, revealing a thousand faces with a thousand different soul-reaping sounds.

The demonic qi mixed with reality continued to sweep turbulently, but could not contend with Patriarch Dugu’s Extinguishing Divine Sword Intent.

The narrow opening of the Heavenly Dao Seal prevented the Thousand-faced Heavenly Demon from crossing the world.

And as long as it showed its head, its Demon Thought body would be obliterated by the powerful Extinguishing Divine Sword Intent.

After a moment of stalemate, this Fifth grade Thousand-faced Heavenly Demon retreated back to the depths of the seal, no longer daring to forcefully break through the barrier to the mortal realm under the suppression of Patriarch Dugu’s Extinguishing Divine Sword.

The Ten-eyed Celestial Demons, Hundred-eyed Heavenly Demons, were completely slaughtered by the Heaven’s net of swords.

The Fifth grade Thousand-faced Heavenly Demon was repelled by Patriarch Dugu with the Extinguishing Divine Sword.

The turbulent Demon Thoughts at the horizon began to recede.

Patriarch Dugu, whose Divine Thought was nearly exhausted, slowly put down the Broken Sword, as if unloading a thousand-jun burden, and let out a long sigh of relief.

But the exhaustion of his Divine Sense, the continuous use of Taixu’s final burial, Heaven’s net of swords, and the ban-breaking Extinguishing Divine Skill, left the already faintly flickering Patriarch Dugu like decaying wood, hanging by a thread.

Yet being able to subdue the Thousand-faced Demons, lock down the Heavenly Demon is enough, still...

”Mo Hua... you must go...”

Patriarch Dugu wanted Mo Hua to leave, but as he turned his head to look at Mo Hua, his pupils enlarged instantly, his whole body chilled.

Mo Hua stood aside, watching Patriarch Dugu use the terrifying Extinguishing Divine Skill to slash with the prowess that could annihilate Laws, directly killing the Fifth grade Heavenly Demon, causing it to fear and retreat, his face full of shock.

But he was completely unaware that at this moment, another Heavenly Demon was standing right behind him.

This Heavenly Demon was not large, but strangely its face was blank, not showing any face.

And this Heavenly Demon, however, made Patriarch Dugu utterly terrified.

”Little Faceless Celestial Demon!”

The number of faces of a Heavenly Demon determines its strength.

Ten-faced Heavenly Demon, Hundred-faced Heavenly Demon, Thousand-faced Heavenly Demon...

The more human hearts it devours, the more faces, the stronger the Heavenly Demon.

But there is another kind, the pure ”Faceless” Heavenly Demon.

This type of Heavenly Demon is a special ”seed”, an ”embryo”, seemingly not strong, but it can parasitize and assimilate with anyone.

Once planted, it is almost inseparable, impossible to obliterate.

This is a kind of alternative ”High-grade Heavenly Demon”.

And at this moment, a Little Faceless Celestial Demon was standing behind Mo Hua, and its hand had already gripped Mo Hua’s neck.

Patriarch Dugu felt despair in his heart.

In an instant, he understood that all of this was also part of the Heavenly Demons’ plot.

The three Hundred-faced Heavenly Demons, along with numerous Ten-faced Heavenly Demons, and even making the powerful Fifth grade Thousand-faced Heavenly Demon appear, were all to pressure him, making him exhaust the power of his Divine Thought.

But the real trump card was this Little Faceless Celestial Demon that had secretly snuck in without anyone noticing.

Once the Little Faceless Celestial Demon pollutes Mo Hua, everything is lost!

The Heavenly Demon would use Mo Hua as a guide, reconnecting the gateway to the mortal realm, descending upon the world.

The calamity of the Heavenly Demons would play out anew.

And all of this is entirely his sin.

I, a thousand times shouldn’t have, ten thousand times shouldn’t have, should not have entertained the thought of passing on the Divine Thought into sword skill, should not have taught Mo Hua the Divine Thought into sword True Jue, should not have allowed my Taoist Heart to be breached by the Demons, resulting in this eternal doom!

And now, I have not only doomed the Taixu Gate but also harmed Mo Hua, this child...

Patriarch Dugu spat out a mouthful of blood, just about to act to stop and kill the Little Faceless Celestial Demon, but his Divine Sense was already exhausted, at this time injury backlash rendered him unable to form a single Sword Intent.

Moreover, it’s already too late.

The Little Faceless Celestial Demon was already close to Mo Hua, its void face was about to merge with Mo Hua.

Suddenly, a youthful voice sounded:

”Why are you standing behind me? Trying to scare me?”

The Little Faceless Celestial Demon was stunned, and for a moment, a faintly evident surprise appeared on its face, which was usually expressionless.

In the next instant, it felt a hand gripping its throat.

Without waiting for it to react, it was powerlessly slammed to the ground.

Mo Hua pinned the Little Faceless Celestial Demon beneath him, raised his hands, manifesting a gigantic Godslaying Sword, and chopped wildly, directly cutting the Little Faceless Celestial Demon into ”mincemeat.”

Patriarch Dugu, standing aside, was dumbfounded, looking at all of this with a face full of bewilderment.
