Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2541: Chapter 34: Earth Store Corpse

Mo Hua’s killing intent began to stir restlessly once again.

He started weighing in his heart whether he could kill these four Golden Cores.

Or perhaps just kill the one with the special spell point, the one who could track him...

”How to kill?”

Mo Hua’s mind was turning.

Formation...

There wasn’t enough time or opportunity.

These Golden Cores from the Yin Corpse Valley were pursuing very closely, and he did not have the leisure to set up a formation.

An array hastily arranged could at most obstruct or confuse them, causing them a little trouble, but certainly could not kill them.

The Reversed Spirit Formation also needed a certain amount of formation as ”gunpowder” to detonate.

Moreover, the Calculation for the Reversed Spirit Formation would take additional time.

A formation wouldn’t work.

Planting Devil in Taoist Heart wouldn’t work either.

Mo Hua had just tried this.

When he was conversing with Elder Xu and the others earlier, he had secretly used a bit of the Planting Devil in Taoist Heart technique.

But it didn’t work.

What he asked, Elder Xu and the others simply did not answer, and there were no signs of them being ”planted with a devil.”

Mo Hua deduced roughly in his heart that Planting Devil in Taoist Heart also had some prerequisite conditions and restrictions and couldn’t be casually effective.

Realm is a major threshold.

For cultivators of the same realm or even lower, his Divine Sense held an absolute advantage, making Planting Devil in Taoist Heart relatively easier.

But when planting a devil in a higher realm cultivator, like the few Golden Cores in front of him, he had to consider the conditions of casting and the success rate.

The higher the realm of the cultivator, the stronger their Divine Sense, the deeper their foundation, the more superior their Taoist inheritance, the more cunning their mind, and the more resilient their temperament, the less likely they would be influenced by words, and the lower the success rate of planting the devil in the Taoist Heart.

To perform Planting Devil in Taoist Heart on a higher realm cultivator, they would need to let down their guard to him, trust him, or at least not reject him.

Only then would the words he spoke enter their hearts, slowly taking root and sprouting.

This is under normal circumstances.

The other scenario is when a high-rank cultivator is engulfed by intense desire, dominated by obsessions such as mania, infatuation, intoxication, greed, causing dramatic emotional swings and weakening their mental defenses—their resistance to Divine Sense is lowered, making them susceptible to Planting Devil in Taoist Heart.

Back at the Qian Learning State Boundary, in the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Hall, that large group of Golden Core Demons was enveloped in the frenzied evil thoughts during the Evil God’s resurrection, falling into fanatic worship, revealing cracks in their desires, allowing Mo Hua to plant devils and cause mutual slaughter until they all perished.

Mo Hua understood this aspect too.

Without the ”assist” from the Evil God, relying solely on his own realm and the foundation of Planting Devil in Taoist Heart, he would have been incapable of causing so many Golden Core Demons to simultaneously ”fall into demonic possession” and kill each other to death.

Such opportunities are hard to come by.

And now, they do not exist at all.

The four Golden Cores from Yin Corpse Valley were wary of him and would not speak much.

No matter what he said, it might not reach their hearts.

These were four corpse cultivators, dealing with the dead, shrouded in death qi all over.

He didn’t understand them well enough, unaware of the obsessions and flaws in their temperament.

There was nothing to currently entice their desires, lead them into ”strong desire,” losing rationality, and exposing flaws in their temperament.

”Planting Devil in Taoist Heart is not usable...”

Mo Hua’s gaze sank slightly.

”Meteor Fire Forbidden Art?”

Now at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, the power of the Meteor Fire Forbidden Art has certainly increased, allowing him to ”cross ranks” to some extent and inflict notable harm to a Golden Core.

But the problem is, being able to ”injure” does not necessarily mean being able to ”kill.”

These Golden Core Corpse Cultivators excel at corpse raising and can ”corpse transform” to some extent, injuring them without killing is tantamount to not injuring them at all.

Moreover, there are full four Golden Cores to face.

Even if the Meteor Fire Forbidden Art cripples one Golden Core, he would still face the siege of the remaining three.

And casting the Meteor Fire Forbidden Art, condensing fireballs, guiding them, and having the fireballs collide, causing the skill pattern to collapse, would take at least several breaths.

If any accident occurs during this process and a flaw is exposed, he would end up in a passive position, offering the Elders from the Yin Corpse Valley an opportunity to attack him.

”Meteor Fire Forbidden Art won’t work either...”

Mo Hua’s brows gradually furrowed.

Having ruled out all possibilities, the only option left is the ”Divine Thought into sword.”

Yet, Divine Thought into sword is precisely what he must not use.

Within the Divine Thought World, casually using the Sword Transforming Skill is acceptable.

But in reality, once Divine Thought into sword is used, it means pushing the sword technique to the extreme, forcing the Divine Thought outward, releasing Sword Intent, creating an immense load on the Divine Sense.

It would undoubtedly incite extreme evil qi backlash.

If he uses Divine Thought into sword to kill a Golden Core, the backlash would be compounded, the evil qi would become more severe, and the consequences would worsen.

Moreover, Mo Hua also was unsure if Divine Thought into sword could even kill a Golden Core.

After all, he had never used Divine Thought into sword to ”kill” before.

Mo Hua’s gaze was heavy, pondering all this, realizing there are too many variables, and the risk is too high.

If he doesn’t make a move, he would continue to be pursued, but these few Golden Cores definitely couldn’t capture him. At least for a while, he would be safe.

If he takes action and fails to kill a Golden Core, there is the risk of being counter-killed.

If he kills a Golden Core, there would still be the aftermath of evil qi backlash.

After weighing everything, Mo Hua could only suppress his anger and restrain his killing intent.

Furthermore, Mo Hua was uncertain whether his killing intent stemmed from his rationality or the influence of the evil qi on his temperament.

If it arose from his rationality, then he could kill.
