We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 592: It Seems No Matter How Long, You Are Always Like This

By the time Xiao Mo came back to himself.

That formation diagram had already been carved completely into his mind.

He understood every detail of how the formation was drawn, its principles, and the way it operated, as if Xiao Mo had learned it countless years ago.

With a long sword in hand, Xiao Mo cut through the vines piercing his body with one stroke, then pulled the severed remnants out of himself and circulated a spell incantation to repair his injuries.

When everyone saw that Xiao Mo had actually broken free of the vines, their hearts jolted in surprise.

Yuan and the other gods also frowned.

“Xiao Mo... how are you? Are you all right?”

After Gui Junmeng forcibly broke away from Shen, she came to Xiao Mo’s side and looked at him worriedly.

“I’m fine. There are just a few more holes in my body.” Xiao Mo shook his head and smiled. “However, I may now have a way to deal with these gods.”

“You have a way?” Gui Junmeng blinked in confusion.

Time was pressing. Xiao Mo did not answer in detail. Instead, he sent a voice transmission to Gui Ning, Daoist Yunxi, and the others. “Seniors, please help me buy one incense stick’s time! These gods may be dealt with!”

Without waiting for anyone to respond, Xiao Mo flew forward and directly sliced open his own wrist.

Using blood as ink, Xiao Mo began to draw a formation in the air.

Although Gui Junmeng did not know what formation Xiao Mo was trying to draw, no matter what Xiao Mo did, she believed in him and supported him unconditionally.

Gui Junmeng continued holding Shen in check.

Likewise, Daoist Yunxi and the others shifted from fighting the gods head-on as they had before into delaying and restraining them.

Although Xiao Mo was still only an Immortal Realm cultivator.

Daoist Yunxi knew that Xiao Mo had always been steady. He absolutely would not do something meaningless.

Moreover, Xiao Mo had just broken free from that vine’s corrosion.

That made it even more likely that Xiao Mo truly had a way to deal with the gods.

In an instant, one formation inscription after another was drawn by Xiao Mo.

Each time Xiao Mo made a stroke, the spiritual power and Great Daos of heaven and earth trembled.

It was as if the grand formation Xiao Mo was drawing was about to seize the laws of heaven and earth.

When Xiao Mo completed a small portion of the formation diagram.

Shen and the other gods furrowed their brows, and for the first time, caution appeared in their eyes.

How could they possibly not know what formation Xiao Mo was drawing?

This was the God-Slaying Formation of the ancient era.

It was something that man had created for the sake of slaying gods.

What Yuan found deeply incomprehensible was that, by all rights, this formation should already have been lost.

If Xiao Mo had known the God-Slaying Formation from the start, he should have used it at the beginning. He would not have dragged things out until now.

“Could it be?”

Suddenly, as if Yuan had realized something, her eyes abruptly lit up.

Could this formation have been hidden inside Great Dream of Yellow Millet?

When Xiao Mo suffered a god’s attack and neared death, Great Dream of Yellow Millet would manifest on its own?

“Stop him!”

On the other side, Shou shouted at Yuan and Shen.

Shou did not know how Xiao Mo had learned the God-Slaying Formation, but that no longer mattered. This formation absolutely could not be allowed to reach completion!

In truth, even without Shou saying anything, Yuan and Shen had already charged toward Xiao Mo.

Seeing how tense the three gods had become, Gui Ning and the others felt somewhat more certain.

At the very least, this proved that the formation Xiao Mo was now drawing truly posed a threat to them!

Daoist Yunxi guarded Xiao Mo from the front. As she formed and recited a spell incantation, the stars in the night sky grew brighter and brighter. Streams of starlight continuously wove together and condensed, finally gathering into five formation diagrams.

Immediately after, Daoist Yunxi took out five-colored soldier pellets representing the five elements from her sleeve.

She tossed the soldier pellets upward, and they passed separately through the five formation diagrams.

Soldiers as tall as mountains came treading through the air and charged toward Shou together.

Shou showed not the slightest panic. She drew her bowstring again and, as if hunting, shot arrows toward those soldiers.

The arrows shattered the weapons in their hands and pierced through their arms and bodies.

Shou then took another step into the air, and one golden arrow pierced through the firmament.

Immediately after, countless golden arrows rained down toward Xiao Mo.

“Roar!”

Gui Ning, having transformed into his fierce true form, let out an enraged roar.

All the arrows were shattered, turning into golden light that dissipated in the air.

“Go!”

Yuan issued orders through the Moon God Tree.

The five remaining upper-three-realm elders of Tushan charged toward Xiao Mo together.

Xiao Mo raised his head and swung the long sword in his hand. Sword qi carrying the chill of the yin river swept out, cutting off one elder’s arm.

Ice-cold energy continuously condensed over the Jade Pith Realm elder’s body. In the end, that Jade Pith Realm elder of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan turned into an ice sculpture, fell straight down from the air, and shattered into flecks of ice.

And when another Immortal Realm cultivator attacked Xiao Mo, the yin-yang fish diagram flowed through Xiao Mo’s eyes.

That Immortal Realm elder’s expression went blank, as if he had fallen into some kind of illusion. Immediately after, he suddenly threw himself at Yuan.

“Useless trash!”

With a sweep of Yuan’s hand, the Moon God Tree’s vines pierced through that elder and wrapped him up like a silkworm cocoon, hanging him high among the treetops.

“Xiao Mo, focus on drawing the formation. Leave everything else to us.”

Cun Caiguang guarded Xiao Mo from the front, blocking the incoming attacks for him.

“Thank you, Head Cun.”

Xiao Mo nodded and no longer let himself be distracted. He focused only on drawing the formation.

The sounds of slaughter, explosions, the clash of blades and swords, and the screams of fox-clan cultivators rang out one after another beside Xiao Mo’s ears.

As the formation Xiao Mo drew in blood became more and more complete, Yuan and the others’ attacks grew fiercer and fiercer, and the spiritual power between heaven and earth became denser and denser.

Yuan and the others each manifested the golden body of a god.

A kind of pressure from the first opening of chaos pressed heavily upon everyone’s hearts.

Even Ascension Realm cultivators like Daoist Yunxi felt their hearts quicken endlessly. That fear born from the depths of their bloodlines made cold sweat break out on their foreheads, as if a rabbit had seen a true dragon.

Within Tushan, quite a few demon cultivators even knelt where they stood and prostrated themselves on the ground.

But Xiao Mo and the others quickly suppressed their fear and steadied their minds.

Xiao Mo continued drawing the formation diagram, while Daoist Yunxi and the other cultivators continued charging toward Yuan and the others.

An incense stick’s time later, Kongsheng, patriarch of the Soaring Serpent clan, was kicked down from the air by Yuan and smashed through three mountain peaks in succession.

Just as Kongsheng was about to climb to his feet, five golden arrows pierced through his wings, head, abdomen, and tail respectively.

Kongsheng wanted to stand.

But Shou stepped on his head.

“I am willing to submit to the great gods, revere you as my master, and serve you like a hound or horse.” Knowing he was about to die, Kongsheng hurriedly spoke. “I am an Ascension Realm cultivator, and I am also the patriarch of the Soaring Serpent clan. In the future, when you recover the world, you will need someone to run before and after you!”

Listening to Kongsheng’s words, Shou’s expression turned cold. There was not the slightest pity in her eyes, nor the slightest intent to spare him. There was only disgust.

“Look... this is all races, the very ones you want to save. You are fighting us to the death, yet they want to beg for mercy, just like back then. Not even the slightest backbone remains. Truly pathetic!” Shou raised her head and looked toward Xiao Mo, who was drawing the formation diagram, then spoke softly as if to herself.

And just as Shou’s words fell, the Moon God Tree’s vines had already pierced through Kongsheng’s body.

Kongsheng was forced back into human form and hung from the treetop by the Moon God Tree.

After another Ascension Realm cultivator died, the treetop of the Moon God Tree kept swaying. Those enormous flower buds looked as if they were about to bloom, with one or two petals already unfurled.

Seeing Kongsheng fall, Daoist Yunxi and the others could not help but feel their hearts sink.

Although everyone’s positions were different, no matter what, at the very least, as an Ascension Realm cultivator, he could have contributed a {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} great deal of strength.

But now, these gods were growing stronger and stronger, while their side’s fighting force was constantly weakening. If this continued, things would become extremely bad!

But at that moment, Xiao Mo’s formation was finally complete.

Drawing this formation had nearly exhausted all of Xiao Mo’s essence blood and lifespan.

His hair, originally black, was now entirely white.

“Descend!”

With a single thought from Xiao Mo, the formation sank rapidly and finally enveloped the Moon God Tree.

“Xiao Mo...”

Seeing Xiao Mo’s head of pale white hair, Gui Junmeng bit down tightly on her thin lips.

“Little girl, remember, when fighting someone with magic, you must not let yourself be distracted.”

Shen’s fingertip moved lightly, and countless petals turned into a giant dragon that pounced toward Gui Junmeng.

Gui Junmeng kept dodging that giant dragon in midair.

Obscure inscription patterns gradually appeared in Shen’s eyes. Her pupils were like kaleidoscopes, shifting without pause.

And wherever Shen’s gaze fell, flowers bloomed one after another to block Gui Junmeng’s path, then abruptly burst apart.

But Gui Junmeng paid no attention to any of it.

She flew toward Xiao Mo with no regard for anything else.

......

“Cough, cough, cough...”

Standing inside the formation, Xiao Mo coughed up several mouthfuls of blood and wiped the corner of his mouth.

“No... it is still missing a little...”

Xiao Mo looked at the formation he had drawn, his expression grave.

Although this formation had been completed, if he wanted to truly activate it, his realm was far from enough.

“Unless...”

Xiao Mo’s expression tightened, and a thought surfaced in his heart.

Unless he used himself as a blood sacrifice, then borrowed an Ascension Realm cultivator’s life source and essence blood, he could not truly activate this formation.

Xiao Mo raised his head and looked toward Gui Ning and the others.

At the same time, Gui Ning and the others also looked toward the grand formation.

Although Gui Ning and the others could not understand the formation Xiao Mo had drawn.

They could sense that Xiao Mo’s formation seemed to contain the principles of heaven and earth.

And if this kind of formation were to be truly activated, the person presiding over the main formation would need an extremely high realm. If that person’s realm was not enough, another price would have to be paid to make up for it.

......

CLANG!

In the distance, Shen held a long sword condensed from petals and chopped it against Gui Junmeng’s fly-whisk, knocking Gui Junmeng away in one stroke.

The two of them faced each other from roughly thirty meters apart.

Blood dripped continuously from Gui Junmeng’s fingertips.

At first, Gui Junmeng could still fight the other side back and forth, but before long, she realized she was already finding it difficult to withstand Shen.

Shen looked at Gui Junmeng and tilted her head. “I saw the memories of this little girl named Tushan Jingci. You two were originally one and the same, but your bloodline was separated out.

“A pity. Some spell arts have already been lost in this world. Otherwise, the two of you would have been able to step into the two supreme realms.

“However, even now, it is not too late.”

As Shen’s words fell, she took a step forward.

In an instant, with Shen at the center, a sea of flowers bloomed in the air.

Gui Junmeng sensed that something was wrong and wanted to dodge.

But vines bearing flowers had already begun winding upward from her feet.

Just as the Moon God Tree was about to pierce through Gui Junmeng’s body, Xiao Mo arrived in time, circulated Great Dream of Yellow Millet, cut the vines apart with one sword stroke, and immediately held Gui Junmeng as he flew back toward the God-Slaying Formation.

“Three seniors, I need the three of you to sit with me in the four directions of the formation, then activate the formation together. However, the price will be enormous. For the three of you, to say nothing of losing lifespan, I fear even your lives will be in danger.”

Xiao Mo sent a voice transmission to Daoist Yunxi and the other two, speaking honestly.

“No matter.”

“A small matter.”

“This old man will lend you a hand!”

After hearing Xiao Mo’s voice transmission, Daoist Yunxi, Gui Ning, and the third person all readily agreed.

After all, in their eyes, they had no other choice.

These three gods were growing stronger and stronger, and they were gradually falling into disadvantage, to say nothing of the corpses of upper-three-realm cultivators still hanging from the Moon God Tree’s treetop.

Perhaps those corpses were meant for the remnant souls of ancient gods to possess.

If this continued, not only would their group die here, the entire world might fall into chaos.

Following Xiao Mo’s voice-transmitted instructions, Daoist Yunxi and the other two landed separately in three positions of the formation.

At the same time, Xiao Mo occupied the core of the formation.

The instant the formation activated.

Extremely violent spiritual power shook the sky above Tushan.

Yuan and Shou wanted to stop it, but an invisible force of suction continuously dragged them toward the formation.

Immediately after, chains emerged from within the formation, binding Yuan, Shou, and Shen by the hands and feet and dragging them into the formation.

Yuan felt an extreme sense of humiliation.

This God-Slaying Formation was something all races had used in the ancient era to deal with low-ranking gods.

If not for the fact that she had only just arrived in this world, without even a divine body, and with her divine power still very weak.

Otherwise, how could this kind of formation possibly have any effect on her!

“Are you certain?”

Shen, trapped inside the formation, looked at Xiao Mo and spoke calmly.

“Can you truly bear to kill ‘me’? Do not forget, her soul is also inside this formation. Her physical body and soul will die as well. Can you really bring yourself to do it?”

Listening to Shen’s words, Xiao Mo did not answer. He only continued reciting the spell incantation, and the god-binding chains within the formation bound them even tighter.

“Junmeng, I need to ask you for one thing.” Xiao Mo turned his head and said to Gui Junmeng beside him.

“Mm.” Gui Junmeng nodded obediently. Her eyes as she looked at Xiao Mo were filled with heartache.

“Right now, I need to carry out the final step before I can activate the formation, but this formation eye needs someone to sit in command of it.” Xiao Mo looked at Gui Junmeng seriously. “Your Great Dao and mine have long since merged into one. As long as you swallow my dao pill, you can help me hold this formation eye. Can you help me?”

“Little girl, you had better think this through. Do you know what the final step of this formation is?”

Just as Gui Junmeng was about to agree, Shen spoke to her.

“Right now, Xiao Mo’s realm is not enough. Even with these three Ascension Realm cultivators anchoring it, it is still not enough. He intends to use his own life as the final blood sacrifice. From then on, both body and soul will be destroyed, and he will not enter reincarnation.”

As she spoke, Shen looked at Xiao Mo, and a trace of melancholy flashed through her eyes.

“But...”

“This truly is your style...”

“It seems no matter how long, you are always like this. You never consider yourself...”
