Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2431: Chapter 1102: Leaving the Sect

The Little Faceless Celestial Demon was chopped into "mincemeat" by Mo Hua.

But in the next instant, the pitch-black demon thought and flesh writhed back into form, and from its blank face, it let out a sharp, twisted voice at Mo Hua:

"What are you?!"

Mo Hua did not answer, simply seized its throat, slammed it to the ground, then used the Godslaying Sword to chop it into mincemeat again.

The Little Faceless Celestial Demon reformed from the mincemeat, and though its face had no features, it clearly bore anger.

They are Faceless Celestial Demons, faceless, formless, emotionless, and they generally do not get angry unless the situation is truly absurd.

They have always been the ones to manipulate human hearts, never had anyone treated them like clay, arbitrarily kneading and killing them.

The Little Faceless Celestial Demon said coldly, "What exactly are you...?"

But again its throat was seized.

Mo Hua’s movements were extremely fast, his strength overwhelming, his presence irresistible, as he gripped the Little Faceless Demon’s neck as if holding a little ghost, then repeated his trick, slamming this Little Faceless Celestial Demon to the ground, chopping it into a mess of mud.

This was the third time.

But even after being chopped up three times, the Little Faceless Celestial Demon was still not dead, writhing back into its original form once more.

Mo Hua frowned slightly, "It can’t be killed?"

On the faceless visage of the Little Faceless Celestial Demon, indentations akin to a mouth moved: "With your level, you think you can kill me?"

The "Little Faceless" demon was not highly destructive but had strong parasitic abilities, thus it was restrained by Mo Hua’s ability to repel evil.

However, because it was an "upper-class demon" of higher rank, the Godslaying Sword could slash but not kill it, and Mo Hua was equally unable to deal with it.

"Enough..."

Mo Hua sighed, staring directly at the Little Faceless Celestial Demon, subconsciously licking his lips.

The Little Faceless Celestial Demon sensed something was wrong and shuddered all over:

"You... what do you want to do?"

Before it could finish speaking, a flash of golden light from Mo Hua already placed him in front of it; with bare hands he tore it apart, then, in front of Patriarch Dugu’s eyes, gulped the Faceless Celestial Demon down into his stomach.

This action could only be described as brutally strange.

Patriarch Dugu felt a shiver in his heart as he watched.

Foundation Establishment Realm, learning the Godslaying Sword, slaying the Heavenly Demon.

Though he couldn’t accept it, he could vaguely understand it.

But a Foundation Establishment disciple, in front of him, devouring a Little Faceless Celestial Demon alive...

In his lifetime, Patriarch Dugu had experienced countless storms, seen innumerable bloody and bizarre scenarios, but he had truly never witnessed such audacious and inhuman scenes...

Henceforth, the peril subsided.

The powerful Thousand-faced and Hundred-faced Heavenly Demons were intercepted and killed by Patriarch Dugu.

The bizarre Little Faceless Celestial Demon was devoured by Mo Hua.

The demon’s presence temporarily faded, and all around gradually returned to normal.

The dreamlike feeling, both real and illusionary, also disappeared.

In the vast Sword Tomb, only Patriarch Dugu and Mo Hua were left.

Patriarch Dugu stared intently at Mo Hua, his gaze sharp as a blade, sternly asking:

"Who exactly... are you?"

Mo Hua bowed to Patriarch Dugu: "Disciple Mo Hua."

Patriarch Dugu’s eyes held suspicion, his demeanor vigilant, with even a trace of fierce killing intent hiding in his gaze.

Mo Hua then bowed again, reintroducing himself to Patriarch Dugu:

"Disciple Mo Hua, originally a Loose Cultivator, now a disciple of Taixu Gate, entered Tai Xu Mountain Gate nine years ago, known among peers as the ’Junior Brother’, also the Formation Instructor."

"Favored by Elder Master Xun, personally taught formations."

"Disciple’s cultivation is based on Divine Thought, cultivating Divine Sense Proving the Dao, comprehending formations to seek immortality."

"Additionally, disciple has twice been the Formation Leader at Qianxue."

"At this session’s Sword Discussion Conference, I, along with fellow disciples of Taixu, surpassed the Four Great Sects, winning first in the sword discussion."

"Now, Taixu Gate and Tai’a, Chongxu, Three Mountains merge, already the first Great Sect in Qian Learning State Boundary..."

Mo Hua spoke clearly, neither humble nor overbearing, with poise and grace.

And his expression was sincere, divine sense stable, obviously not lying.

Patriarch Dugu’s heart trembled greatly.

He hadn’t expected the disciple he had coincidentally chosen to cultivate divine thought into sword, to possess such capabilities.

Taixu Gate’s Junior Brother, a formation disciple personally taught by Junior Xun.

Two-time Formation Leader.

Regardless of anything else, at least in formations, there was undeniably an astonishing talent.

Moreover...

"The first Great Sect in Qian Learning State Boundary..."

Once merely the last among the Eight Great Gates, Taixu Gate had now become, the first Great Sect in Qian Learning State Boundary...

Patriarch Dugu found it incredible, and couldn’t help but feel a mix of melancholy and excitement.

"Very well..."

Patriarch Dugu sighed deeply, and upon looking at Mo Hua again, the suspicion receded, and his demeanor was much more gentle.

A heaven-sent prodigy naturally has extraordinary qualities, accomplishing what ordinary people find difficult.

And to be held in such regard by fellow disciples, revered as "Junior Brother", and to earn two-time Formation Leader titles for the sect, securing first in the sword discussion, evident is the deep bond and the immense dedication to the sect.

Patriarch Dugu inquired of Mo Hua: "With the void rift opened, why did you come in?"

Mo Hua looked deeply at Patriarch Dugu’s aged face, sighed inwardly, and bowed, "Disciple’s cultivation term is ending, I’m leaving tomorrow, before departing, I wish to meet you, to thank you for your grace in teaching sword and imparting the Dao."

In Patriarch Dugu’s eyes, Mo Hua’s respectful and courteous figure was reflected, feeling a pure friendship, his heart quivered slightly, and his aged gaze softened even more.

"I don’t have much time left, you should go." Patriarch Dugu said softly.

Mo Hua was slightly stunned, "Patriarch, you..."

Patriarch Dugu sighed, "I am the one restraining the Heavenly Demons, and at the same time, the first to be corrupted by the Heavenly Demons..."

"I must seal this Sword Tomb completely, along with my thoughts, so no one can enter henceforth, nor can any Heavenly Demon escape."
