The Quest for Immortality

Chapter 1015 -655: Turning Evil into Falling Fire

Above the altar, the trembling gradually intensified, and debris was already falling in droves.

Gu Changhuai frowned.

Mo Hua’s gaze sharpened and he immediately said,

”Uncle Gu, the Formation has started destroying itself, the Demon Palace is going to collapse!”

”How much longer?”

Mo Hua released his Divine Sense to estimate the spiritual power volume of the collapsing Formation, “Less than 30 minutes

Gu Changhuai clenched his teeth.

He very much wanted to block Fire Buddha at the altar right then and there, to completely eliminate the future threat.

But Fire Buddha, seemingly cornered and slowed by the Water Poison, his breath weakening, was not truly at the end of his rope.

Such Demon Cultivators were notoriously difficult to kill…

30 minutes would not be enough to finish him off.

Moreover, Mo Hua was also within this altar…

Even if he wished to take the risk and forcibly kill Fire Buddha, he had to consider Mo Hua’s safety.

With Mo Hua’s Formation talents, his future was boundless; he couldn’t be left behind to be buried with a monstrous beast like Fire Buddha!

Escape first!

Gu Changhuai gave Fire Buddha a cold look and immediately said to Mo Hua:

”Let’s go!”

”Okay.”

Mo Hua didn’t hesitate.

Although the altar felt as though it had been built just for him, sitting there was very comfortable and its damage a pity,

He didn’t wish to be buried with it in this gloomy Demon’s Cave.

His own life was more important.

Mo Hua and Gu Changhuai then activated their movement techniques together, one figure like the wind, the other transforming into flowing water, both fleeing with all their might towards the outside of the altar.

Fire Buddha intentionally lingered a while, until Gu Changhuai and Mo Hua were far away, before he took a Blood Abnormality Pill and swallowed it.

Streams of Blood Qi and Evil Power surged into his blood vessels.

”Trying to kill me… won’t be that easy

Fire Buddha let out a cold laugh, his smile carrying a deeper meaning.

Then he used the power of the Pill to suppress the Water Poison and activated his movement technique; his figure, wrapped in firelight, fled out of the altar.

Mo Hua and Gu Changhuai left the altar and came to the great hall.

Inside the great hall, it was similarly in disarray, and scattered figures abounded.

Some Taoist Court Official Cultivators were still fighting against fragmented Demon Cultivators.

Some Enforcement Leaders gave chase to kill the Demon Cultivators.

Others saw the Demon Palace shaking and stood, bewildered, not knowing what to do.

Gu Changhuai frowned and coldly ordered, “Everyone, evacuate the Demon Palace!”

Then he grabbed Mo Hua with one hand and began to dash out together.

Gu Changhuai was a Golden Core Cultivator, and also practiced Wind Escape Skill.

Mo Hua’s movement technique was far less swift than his.

Moreover, at this moment, with the Demon Palace on the brink of collapse, chaos reigned, with stray Demon Cultivators around as well as panicked Enforcement Leaders, and occasionally huge stones fell from above.

Gu Changhuai was more at ease holding onto Mo Hua personally.

Thus, Mo Hua, with a helpless expression, was carried by the tall and slender Gu Changhuai, with the scenery rapidly flashing by.

Shouts, howls, the sounds of falling rocks, and occasionally the clashing sounds of Cultivators’ weapons filled his ears, adding to the incessant turmoil.

The altar sank, the great hall collapsed, followed by the Maze falling to ruin, and then from inside to outside, from the central hall to the outer hall, the Formation destroyed itself layer by layer, the Demon Palace collapsing…

Who knows how long it took, but Mo Hua’s vision shifted, and he realized they had come outside of the Demon’s Cave.

The sky was expansive, and mountain mists lingered.

Around them were Bishan City’s towering hills and steep ridges.

Mo Hua looked back to see the lone peak that concealed the Demon’s Cave collapsing inwards like snow melting in hot soup, accompanied by a tremendous roar.

And at the entrance of the Demon’s Cave, many Cultivators were emerging in a frantic escape.

Most of them were Taoist Court Official Cultivators, with a few being Demon Cultivators.

The two factions, having just escaped from the Demon Palace, began to struggle against each other once again.

Some Demon Cultivators took advantage of the chaos in an attempt to escape, but Gu Changhuai blocked the stone bridge and killed any that emerged.

Mo Hua stayed hidden nearby, discreetly using Spells to control the Demon Cultivators.

If any escaped Gu Changhuai’s immediate reach, Mo Hua would use the Water Prison Technique or the Gen Mountain Formation to trap them.

Then Gu Changhuai would finish them off.

After killing about a dozen Demon Cultivators this way, a blood-red figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Demon Palace.

It was Fire Buddha.

He had also escaped.

As soon as Fire Buddha got out, the whole mountain peak “boomed” and collapsed entirely, burying the entire Demon Palace and the bizarre altar within.

Those Cultivators who couldn’t escape in time were also buried.

Gu Changhuai seethed with hate, then turned to Fire Buddha with a murderous intent and instructed:

”All Enforcement Leaders, guard the stone bridge, don’t let this monstrosity Fire Buddha get away!”

Afterward, a fierce wind whipped up around him as he took the lead and charged toward Fire Buddha.

Fire Buddha let out a cold laugh and again cast Meteor Fire Skill, conjuring a dense hail of fire to oppose Gu Changhuai’s Wind Blades, clashing violently.

Other Taoist Court Official Cultivators, some guarded the stone bridge, some fought against other Demon Cultivators, and some supported Gu Changhuai from the periphery.

Mo Hua watched for a while and frowned slightly.

This Fire Buddha…

In such a short span, he appeared to have suppressed the Water Poison, healed most of his injuries, and regained much of his Evil Power…

As hard to kill as a cockroach…

The situation was looking grim.

Then, in the midst of the battle, Fire Buddha suddenly bypassed Gu Changhuai, his body wreathed in fierce flames, and aimed a palm strike at an unsuspecting Enforcement Leader, trying to take his life.

Gu Changhuai moved to rescue, disrupting his offensive momentarily.

Fire Buddha used this respite to breathe, a cold and sinister smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

”At the altar, you didn’t kill me; now it’s already too late

Upon hearing this, Gu Changhuai’s expression changed, and he turned to look.

He saw Fire Buddha crush a luxurious jade rune on the spot.

Instantly, a fierce wind enveloped in intense flames whirled around Fire Buddha, and his figure’s speed increased by more than a notch.

Gu Changhuai’s pupils constricted.

”A top-grade Rune… A Ten Thousand Miles Divine Travel Rune?!”
