The Quest for Immortality

The eyes of the heavy-armored soldier looked fearfully at Mo Hua.

He could glare at Iron Skill Bone, call Iron Skill Bone a traitor, a dog, but he dared not show any disrespect to Mo Hua.

His face turned pale as he asked Mo Hua, ”You are not human, are you... a demon monster?”

Mo Hua’s expression was stern and solemn, ”I am the shaman of the Divine Lord.”

The heavy-armored barbarian soldier shook his head, ”You are not a shaman, you have the eyes of a demon monster, you are terrifying, you cannot be a shaman.”

Mo Hua did not explain further but repeated, ”Remove the Bone Heavy Armor, and I’ll show leniency, sparing your life.”

The heavy-armored barbarian soldier asked, ”Are you serious?”

Mo Hua replied, ”I am a shaman, and shamans adhere to the principles of the deity; I do not lie.”

The heavy-armored barbarian soldier looked solemn, ”Fine, you unlock my chains, I’ll give you the heavy armor, as long as you spare my life, I can do anything.”

Mo Hua gazed into his eyes and shook his head, ”You are thinking about suicide and about killing me.”

The heavy-armored barbarian soldier’s face turned pale, ”You are indeed not human; you are a demon monster capable of insight into the human heart!”

Mo Hua corrected him, ”A shaman, not a demon monster.”

But this heavy-armored barbarian soldier, clearly did not believe him.

In his heart, Mo Hua was a terrifying human-shaped demon monster.

Mo Hua couldn’t deceive him, feeling slightly astonished.

In reality, no one knew that amidst his seemingly calm words, he had already mingled a touch of the spell point of ”Planting Devil in Taoist Heart.”

Despite Mo Hua not exerting his full strength, using only one or two parts telekinesis.

After all, this heavy-armored barbarian soldier’s cultivation was only Foundation Establishment Peak, not worthy for his Foundation Establishment Late Stage Divine Thought of twenty-three patterns to go all out.

Yet the result was that this heavy-armored barbarian soldier was not ”bewitched” by him.

This puzzled Mo Hua greatly.

Was it because the barbarian soldier was too stupid to understand his hints?

Or was he too cautious, too guarded against his words?

Or perhaps... was he too superstitious, resulting in too firm a belief?

Mo Hua hesitated, pondering whether to increase the intensity and formally cast ”Planting Devil in Taoist Heart” on this barbarian soldier once more.

However, after consideration, he decided against it.

”Planting Devil in Taoist Heart” belonged to Uncle; although it often had wonderful uses, Mo Hua found it difficult to control the intensity well.

Now only one heavy-armored soldier was left, and only one armor was remaining; any mishap could destroy everything.

Hence, it was better to use some more reliable methods that he could ”grasp” well, to solve the problem.

Mo Hua made up his mind internally and said to the heavy-armored barbarian soldier, ”Has your heavy armor never been breached?”

The heavy-armored barbarian soldier nodded, ”That’s natural.”

Mo Hua said, ”I don’t believe it.”

The heavy-armored barbarian soldier sneered with pride:

”This heavy armor is a gift from Lord Barbarian God and passed down by the ancestors; nothing in the world can destroy it.”

Mo Hua showed disdain, ”Let’s make a bet; I’ll wager that I have a way to break your heavy armor. I’ll show you that your so-called Lord Barbarian God is a joke. Your ancestors are all useless. The armor they passed down, in front of me, is worthless.”

These words were blatant humiliation.

They were humiliating to Lord Barbarian God and the Ancestor Shugu, and also trampled on his dignity as a barbarian soldier.

Thus the heavy-armored barbarian soldier, overcoming the terror in his heart towards Mo Hua, the ”demon monster,” said angrily:

”You demon monster, how conceited!”

”Fine! Today, I will see what method you use to break my ancestor’s armor!”

Mo Hua said, ”If I cannot break the heavy armor, I will give you a way out, apologize to your Lord Barbarian God and ancestors.”

”If I do break it, you need to kneel to me, become my servant.”

The heavy-armored barbarian soldier nodded, thinking that if this armor were broken, he would rather die than worry about being a ”servant.”

He nodded, ”Deal.”

He then stared at Mo Hua, wanting to see where Mo Hua’s confidence came from to break the ancestor’s Bone Heavy Armor from Shugu Tribe.

Mo Hua took out a long spear and tossed it to Iron Skill Bone, ”This spear has been blessed by me; it’s a divine gift. Use it to break this heavy armor.”

Iron Skill Bone was taken aback, ”I am breaking it?”

Mo Hua nodded, ”Yes, you are.”

Iron Skill Bone’s expression was complex, as he weighed the spear in his hand and frowned, sensing nothing unusual about the spear.

This can be blessed?

Of course, this spear was not blessed; Mo Hua was just spouting nonsense. It was merely an ordinary spear.

Seeing Iron Skill Bone holding the spear, the heavy-armored Shugu Tribe barbarian soldier looked furious at once.

The traitor had indeed become the ”demon monster’s” dog; it was a shame that he was a Golden Core.

The Shugu Tribe barbarian soldier asked Mo Hua, ”Can I fight back?”

Mo Hua nodded, ”You can.”

He wanted them to fight back, to have these two truly fight with swords and spears.

Thus, within the Wu Sha Tribe prison, with Mo Hua’s permission, Iron Skill Bone and the heavy-armored Shugu barbarian soldier began to kill each other.

Iron Skill Bone fought under Mo Hua’s command, forced to battle this barbarian soldier.

While this heavy-armored barbarian soldier genuinely wanted to kill Iron Skill Bone.

In his heart, Iron Skill Bone was a total traitor, having betrayed the Barbarian God, the ancestors, and the tribe.

The people of Shugu Tribe had a high sense of belonging to the tribe.

Yet they displayed utmost devotion towards Lord Barbarian God and the Ancestors of Shugu Tribe.

Consequently, this barbarian soldier wished desperately to kill the traitor Iron Skill Bone.

Of course, he was only at Foundation Establishment Peak, making it impossible for him to kill Iron Skill Bone.

Iron Skill Bone, despite being a Golden Core, could not possibly kill the heavy-armored barbarian soldier in the Second Grade Mountain Realm.

Moreover, the Bone Heavy Armor worn by the barbarian soldier was nearly indestructible.

Iron Skill Bone wielded only the ”broken spear” given by Mo Hua.

The two were locked in combat, evenly matched for a time, as the battle grew increasingly fierce and the fire Qi burned hotter, almost forgetting where they were.

And all of this was under Mo Hua’s direction.

Mo Hua sat in the distance, silently observing everything.

Watching as Iron Skill Bone’s spear struck the Bone Heavy Armor again and again.

The internal formations within the Bone Heavy Armor circulated like a giant beast’s inhalation and exhalation, creating some kind of mysterious change that granted the Bone Heavy Armor extremely resilient brute force, offsetting Iron Skill Bone’s strength.

Others couldn’t see clearly.

But Mo Hua, who understood formations, saw it as clearly as daylight.

Especially after discerning the relevant changes in ”formation” and ”law” and using the complementary model of Dao to comprehend deeper laws, his understanding of formations has risen to a higher level.

Mo Hua’s calculations of formations were more effortless.

Amidst the ”internal strife,” the two fighting from the Shugu Tribe were wholly unaware that Mo Hua, the ”demon monster,” was secretly deducing something.

They did not think about it, nor could they have imagined it.

Perhaps they knew Mo Hua’s ”terrifying” nature.

But they didn’t truly know how deep and terrifying Mo Hua’s ”demon-like” eyes, capable of discerning the essence of all things, were.

Moreover, their relentless fight and the countless rounds of ”armor breaking” and ”defense” surrounding the Bone Heavy Armor unfolded before Mo Hua’s eyes, becoming material for ”deduction.”

The results of the deduction transformed into formation patterns, which Mo Hua silently recorded in the Jade Slip.

Finally, after five days of observation and calculation, nearly exhausting body and mind.

Mo Hua obtained a brand-new Four Symbols.

That was the core formation within the ancestor Bone Qian Man Heavy Armor of the Shugu Tribe.

And to Mo Hua’s surprise, it was...

Twenty Patterns of Second Grade Four Symbols Heavy Armor Formation.

It was... yet another Ultimate Formation!
