The Quest for Immortality

Even Mr. Hui, his skills were not small.

They not only withstood the attack of this corpse figure but also countered, blasting off its two corpse-formed arms.

Mo Hua looked again at the blood flesh figure formed by the coagulation of corpses, emerging from the bright brass coffin, with a slight furrowed brow:

”It indeed has the ’Taoist Demon aura’...”

”But the mutation isn’t deep, just a hint, seems not fully hatched, just a prototype...”

If not for this, everyone here would have already been dead.

Mo Hua knows all too well the terror of the Taoist Demon.

Forget these six or seven Golden Core, even if there were sixty or six hundred Golden Core, it would be of no use at all.

In the end, there’s only one word: ’death.’

A true Third Grade ’Taoist Demon’ could completely overrun the Solitary Mountain state boundary, even implicating the Qianxue State Boundary, plunging the entire Qianxue region into a great catastrophe.

”This Taoist Demon, is it naturally formed, or... is someone nurturing it?”

Nurturing a Taoist Demon...

Mo Hua shuddered inwardly.

Could it be... his Uncle is nurturing it?!

Taoist Demon contains the karmic mutation of heaven and earth, such a terrifying thing that ordinary cultivators avoid like the plague, and the only one truly qualified to nurture, capable of nurturing, and has actually nurtured one, as far as Mo Hua knows, is only his Uncle.

”Uncle...”

Mo Hua frowned, thought for a moment, then shook his head.

It shouldn’t be...

Qianxue State Boundary is not like Big Black Mountain State Boundary.

Big Black Mountain State Boundary is a remote, Second Grade small boundary, with treacherous mountains and impoverished people, making cultivation difficult.

But Qianxue State Boundary is a Fifth Grade Great Province Boundary, where the Tao cultivation atmosphere is prevalent, with families and sects everywhere, guarded by the Heaven Void Ancestor.

Even boundaries like Solitary Mountain in the vicinity are all within the spheres of influence of various families.

Some small skirmishes are fine, but for someone like Uncle, who has the title of ’Taoist’ and is a great Demon Head, they would definitely be on their guard.

Generally, Uncle’s reach shouldn’t extend to Qianxue State Boundary either.

And given the ’relationship’ between Mo Hua and Uncle, if he really came, Mo Hua should have been able to encounter or at least sense it long ago.

Of course, Mo Hua hopes he never meets Uncle again.

He’s afraid Uncle is petty and bears a grudge against him.

Given the origins between them, once they meet, Uncle would definitely want his life.

Of course, these are all digressions.

The immediate biggest problem is still the blood flesh figure with the budding Taoist Demon aura.

This blood flesh figure, buried deep in Solitary Mountain, is a huge hidden danger.

If this hidden danger isn’t resolved, let alone that Mo Hua and others may not leave this tomb alive, even the whole Solitary Mountain City might face impending doom.

Once this blood flesh figure truly becomes a ’Taoist Demon,’ then the entire Qianxue State Boundary may face a brutal massacre catastrophe.

In the turbulent wind and rain, families might be able to protect themselves with their ancestral foundations.

But it’s the loose cultivators at the bottom who will suffer the most.

Mo Hua sighed slightly in his heart.

And while he was pondering, there was another disturbance in the distance. With the wind carrying a stench swirling back, the massive blood flesh figure began to reform and revive again.

The few people, including Mr. Hui, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately felt their spirits sink, bearing solemn expressions.

The blood flesh figure let out a roar, its voice full of resentment, as if struggling and howling of countless dying people.

At the same time, its flesh was also writhing and transforming bit by bit.

The countless severed limbs on its body seemed to come alive, and one by one, corpse abominations reassembled from them revealed their heads from its rotting flesh.

”Not good!”

Mr. Hui didn’t know what changes had occurred in the blood flesh figure, but he knew that in a graveyard, the weirder the change, the less it should be allowed to develop unchecked.

Mr. Hui took out another Yellow Jade Talisman, on which more bloody inscriptions were carved.

”Kill!”

Mr. Hui activated the talisman, transforming it into golden light, attacking the blood flesh figure.

The others also realized things were not going well and took action together, using swords, talismans, spells, and strength to slaughter the blood flesh figure and the smaller corpse abominations it spawned.

The scene was extremely bloody and intense for a moment.

After killing with all their might for a while, they finally halted the mutation of the corpse figure.

But the blood flesh figure still seemed indestructible, able to revitalize slowly no matter how it was slain.

Mr. Hui turned pale, ”What the hell is this thing? Why won’t it end...”

His spiritual power was almost depleted, his own Magical Treasure was dim, and continuing to fight would surely lead to being exhausted to death.

After pondering for a while, Mr. Hui gritted his teeth and said, ”No way, let’s pull back first and think of a plan.”

The others, aware of the dire stakes, nodded in agreement.

Everyone unleashed their abilities, launching one final wave of attacks, then seized the opportunity during the blood flesh figure’s revival to retreat swiftly.

But as soon as Mr. Hui retreated, breaking the Formation, the geomantic setup suppressing the brass coffin was lost.

The Yellow Jade Talisman exploded, and the surrounding Taoist inscriptions were completely obliterated.

Without these restrictions, the blood flesh figure’s body revived even faster. In just a few fleeting moments, it wriggled back to its colossal form.

Seeing the group trying to escape, the blood flesh figure was furious. Its two gigantic deformed arms swung within the deep pit, resembling two massive pythons, stirring up a storm of dust and blood, attempting to catch and kill the fleeing Mr. Hui and his group.

But its arms, though long, had their limits.

And since it was spawned from the brass coffin, it seemed unable to leave it.

Therefore, it didn’t manage to catch Mr. Hui and the others of the Golden Core Realm.

Watching Mr. Hui and his group escape farther and farther, the ’blood flesh’ ready to be eaten flew away, and the blood flesh figure was furious. Accompanied by a roar mixed with countless fierce howls, its body began wholly splitting into one corpse abomination after another.
