Chapter 1079: I Have Come for You
Chapter 1079: I Have Come for You
Having lost the Celestial Purity Chalice and the Six Yang Crimson Gold Cup, Situ Zhenren’s divine consciousness was nearly depleted, and he was also suppressed by the Divine Authority Law. His face was filled with desolation, and he could only wait for death.
His fate was already sealed.
The Evil God True Embryo was about to spray a mouthful of black mist to kill Situ Zhenren when it suddenly remembered something, grinned, and flashed to Situ Zhenren’s side. It opened its large mouth, baring its fangs, and bit into Situ Zhenren’s left arm, tearing it off with a savage tug. It chewed a few times and swallowed it whole.
The Yuan Shen is one of the fundamental elements of a cultivator.
With his Yuan Shen severed, Situ Zhenren was immediately wracked with pain, breaking out in a cold sweat.
What terrified him even more was that after the Evil God True Embryo swallowed his left arm, it was nourished by his divine soul. Its wrinkled skin gradually smoothed out, and its divine body grew taller and stronger, its aura becoming more formidable.
At that moment, Situ Zhenren finally understood why all the divine consciousness cultivators on this mission had only been "polluted" and not thoroughly slain.
It wasn’t just because they were of high realms with strong divine consciousness, making it impossible for the demons to kill them with evil powers. The main reason was that these demons were preparing "food" for their deity.
The Evil God needed to feed.
The Evil God intended to use them as "bait" to nourish and strengthen itself, to make up for its initial weakness and the deficiency of its innate essence.
Four Void Transcender Yuan Shens and ten Yu Hua Yuan Shens were an extremely powerful force, and also a rich batch of "sacrifices."
This was enough to sustain the newly born Evil God for a long time, and enough to support its rapid maturation, awakening of divine powers, and restoration of its original true god strength.
Once the Great Desolate Evil God matured and became a true god, descending upon the world, Qian Xue Prefecture would truly be doomed...
Situ Zhenren felt bitter and regretful.
"We failed to slay the Evil God and instead became the nourishment for the Evil God, becoming the sinners of the world's destruction..."
The Evil God’s face was innocent yet sinister, its mouth wide open, revealing white, sharp fangs, ready to bite off Situ Zhenren’s head.
At this point, the situation was hopeless, and no one could save him. Situ Zhenren’s face was pale and despondent.
The Evil God’s black mouth was getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, Wenren Wan instinctively shouted, "Stop!"
Situ Zhenren was stunned, then his expression turned to shock.
He was shocked because, after hearing Wenren Wan’s words, the large mouth in front of him really did stop.
The Evil God did not continue to bite and swallow his head.
It seemed to instinctively dare not disobey this command, nor kill him.
Situ Zhenren was momentarily dazed, then his heart suddenly trembled as he realized what was happening.
Mother-Child Bond!
The Evil God True Embryo had hatched from Yuer as the divine embryo, sharing the same origin and coexisting with Yuer.
Wenren Wan was Yuer’s mother.
In a sense, Wenren Wan was also the "mother" of the Evil God.
The natural law of the mother-child bond also applied to the Evil God.
Therefore, it dared not disobey its mother’s command.
At this thought, Situ Zhenren was shocked.
He had misjudged the situation!
From the beginning, the myriad evil spirits in this nightmare had never dared to harm Wenren Wan because she was the "mother" of their deity.
At the same time, Situ Zhenren felt deep regret.
Cultivators knew very little about the Evil God.
The lack of knowledge about divine paths made him never think that such a mother-child bond law existed within the Evil God.
Otherwise, Wenren Wan would have been their greatest asset on this mission!
Exploiting this Evil God’s law, with Wenren Wan at the core, they could have devised a plan to slay the god, using the mother-child bond to balance the Evil God.
Using the natural "mother-child" law to counter the divine "authority" law.
This would have greatly increased their chances of success...
Situ Zhenren’s heart was filled with regret.
The Evil God True Embryo was even more enraged.
It did not consider Wenren Wan as its mother.
How could a mere mortal be worthy of being a deity’s mother? But the law of the mother-child bond indeed constrained it.
The Evil God roared, emitting a shrill scream, and then tried to continue eating Situ Zhenren.
But Wenren Wan’s command had already been given, and no matter how powerful the Evil God was, it could not disobey and could not kill Situ Zhenren.
The Evil God’s anger intensified. After a moment, its eyes flickered with a sinister light, as if recalling something from its innate memory. It then turned and walked toward Yuer.
Seeing that the Evil God was no longer going to eat him, Situ Zhenren was slightly relieved.
In the blink of an eye, the Evil God moved toward Yuer. For some reason, Situ Zhenren, who had just relaxed, suddenly felt his heart leap with alarm.
In the split second, Situ Zhenren instantly understood what the Evil God intended to do:
Devour the child to slay the mother!
Wenren Wan had given birth to Yuer.
The Evil God used Yuer as the embryo, incubating alongside.
Thus, the Evil God was bound by the Mother-Child Bond Law, and the cause-and-effect link was Yuer.
By consuming Yuer, the Evil God would sever this link and no longer be constrained by the Mother-Child Bond Law.
Then, by devouring Wenren Wan, the Evil God would completely sever this karmic connection.
By devouring the child to slay the mother, the Evil God would resolve the karmic ties and create a self-sustaining cycle, free from the Mother-Child Bond Law.
He would truly become lawless and heaven-defying, thus becoming the true... Great Wasteland Evil God.
Situ Zhenren was filled with indescribable horror: "We can't let Him eat!"
Wenren Wan also realized what was happening. Her heart felt as if it were being pierced by a knife. Just as she was about to speak and stop the Evil God, the Human-Faced Spider Demon let out a shrill scream.
Seven or eight human faces screamed in unison, their voices filled with resentment and sorrow, creating a barrier that blocked Wenren Wan's voice.
The sound came from Wenren Wan's mouth, but the Evil God couldn't hear it, and the law couldn't take effect.
Wenren Wan could only watch helplessly as the Evil God's true embryo approached Yuer step by step.
As if sensing the impending danger and the end of his life, Yuer finally slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at Wenren Wan, his gaze filled with longing, and his voice trembled as he said, "Mother..."
Yuer's current state was pitiful.
His abdomen was torn open, his insides empty, his eyes hollow, and his flesh was about to wither away... just as Wenren Wan had seen in her nightmare.
Wenren Wan's heart was torn apart, her liver and gallbladder felt like they were shattering. She wept blood tears, her face filled with despair, and she desperately tried to call out to her child, but no sound came out.
Situ Zhenren also wanted to stop it, but his divine consciousness was drained, and his powers were exhausted. He could do nothing to change the course of events, and could only watch in despair.
The Evil God's true embryo grinned maliciously, his mouth suddenly splitting open into a massive, blood-red maw, which lunged toward Yuer.
Yuer looked at the terrifying Evil God, at the rows of sharp fangs, and realized he was about to be devoured, about to die. His expression was filled with fear.
In his final moments, he felt some fear, but more so, a deep regret:
He had seen his mother, fulfilling one of his last wishes, but...
"I won't be able to see... my Brother Mo again..."
This thought echoed in his mind.
Suddenly, a loud rumble shook the entire altar.
Everyone was taken aback.
The Evil God was also momentarily stunned.
He was slightly angry, but then, without hesitation, he tried to continue devouring Yuer. However, a greater tremor followed.
It seemed that a powerful presence, having been called, was forcibly breaking through the barrier of the Nightmare Rite.
Even in the Evil God's heart, a sliver of panic arose, as if something that was about to arrive was His natural enemy.
The Evil God no longer hesitated, and his massive mouth snapped down.
Almost simultaneously, the ground around the altar cracked, and the Evil God's nightmare was torn apart by a powerful force. A golden, radiant hand emerged from the crack, carrying a vast divine consciousness, and pressed firmly on the Evil God's head.
The overwhelming divine consciousness pressured the Evil God.
A clear, innocent yet authoritative voice slowly said, "I've found you... little beast!"
"I'm here to take you in!"
Amidst the golden radiance, a pure golden divine manifestation descended.
The entire nightmare of the Evil God was momentarily stunned, followed by a deafening roar of demonic anger.
Daring to press the head of the divine ruler.
Daring to call the divine ruler a "little beast."
This was a grave offense, a sin that would lead to eternal damnation!
Not only was the Evil God enraged, but the pressure he exuded was like a bottomless abyss.
Even the demons, feeling a great insult, let out thunderous roars.
These countless enraged demonic roars, when combined, formed a powerful storm of evil intent, surging and causing the entire nightmare to tremble.
However, no matter how intense the Evil God's pressure or the surging demonic anger, once they touched the golden figure, they instantly dissolved and vanished like the wind, unable to affect it in the slightest.
Situ Zhenren's face was pale. He looked up at the golden figure on the altar, his heart filled with indescribable horror:
Could there really be... a being in this world that can suppress the Evil God?
"Who... who is this?"
Situ Zhenren focused his gaze.
In the golden radiance, he couldn't see clearly, but he could tell that the figure was a child, about ten years old, with an extremely beautiful and androgynous appearance, pale and fair like jade, almost divine. The golden light enveloped the figure like clothing, and the divine consciousness was as pure as crystal, radiant and resplendent, with a majestic presence that was hard to behold.
When Situ Zhenren saw the figure, he felt as if he were in the presence of a deity, a feeling of unworthiness overwhelming him. However, after a moment of scrutiny, he was taken aback.
Why does this seem... familiar?
How could it be familiar?
How could I be familiar with such a near-deity existence?
Situ Zhenren frowned, his mind racing with unanswered questions.
At that moment, Yuer, seeing the golden, radiant figure, sensed a familiar aura beneath the dazzling light. His previously dim eyes glimmered with a hint of luster:
"Brother Mo..."
From a distance, Wenren Wan, seeing the unfamiliar yet familiar golden figure, was stunned. Her eyes welled with tears as she murmured:
"Mo Hua..."
These two words reached Situ Zhenren's ears, and at first, he felt a sense of familiarity. Then, a moment later, he trembled.
Mo Hua??
Is this... Mo Hua?!
Distant memories surged forth.
Scenes from outside Li Zhou City, which he had long intended to forget, flooded back into his mind.
The young apprentice of the Bai family's Master Bai.
The youngest apprentice of the Bai family's sibling duo with Celestial Spirit Roots.
The last and youngest direct disciple.
The child who, despite being infected with the Soul-Planting Demon Art by a wicked Daoist, managed to survive...
The child who once sought his guidance on how to build a foundation...
Situ Zhenren drew a sharp breath, as if hearing an unbelievable ghost story:
"The being before me, who seems like a deity... is Mo Hua?"
"He... is a human?"
On the other side, demonic energy surged, and evil thoughts swelled like a tsunami. Mo Hua, with the aura of a single person, was enough to suppress countless demons and even stand against the Evil God.
The Evil God, his golden head pressed down by Mo Hua's small hand, roared in anger.
But Mo Hua's hand was like a mountain, firmly pressing on his forehead. The newly born Evil God True Embryo, with his strength not yet fully restored, could not break free.
The Evil God grew even more enraged. Suddenly, his pupils turned black, as if he had awakened some new power. Between his horns, an intense evil aura condensed into a pitch-black beam, hurtling toward Mo Hua.
Mo Hua's arm shot out, blocking the lethal strike.
The evil aura and golden light canceled each other out, creating a powerful explosion. Mo Hua was pushed back a step, and the Evil God True Embryo took the opportunity to escape his grasp.
At the same time, other demons roared and charged at Mo Hua, their powerful malevolent auras reaching him in an instant.
Situ Zhenren, instinctively about to shout "be careful", saw Mo Hua's gaze turn cold. He raised his hand, and golden and crimson light spread out. The Golden Mountain Cremation Formation appeared, turning the area into a golden cage and a sea of flames, incinerating a vast number of accompanying demons.
These demons, upon death, released a large amount of impure evil energy, which could corrupt a cultivator's Yuan Shen, but not a single bit of it could touch Mo Hua.
Suddenly, a fragrant scent wafted through the air, and a beautiful figure appeared.
A delicate, fair, and graceful woman approached Mo Hua, her lips a vivid red, and she leaned in to kiss his cheek.
Mo Hua turned his head, his eyes glowing with golden light, and gave her a glance.
Immediately, a shrill scream rang out. The Crimson Beauty Demon screamed, revealing her true form, her flesh decaying into a pile of white bones.
In the next instant, the decaying demon's tentacles wrapped around Mo Hua, but in a moment, golden light shattered them. The entire body of the decaying demon was sliced into pieces and then incinerated by a fireball Mo Hua summoned with a flick of his fingers.
The Human-Faced Spider Demon, its face contorted, let out a piercing scream, the horrifying resentment in its voice piercing Mo Hua's eardrums.
Mo Hua, seemingly unaffected, turned and roared back at the spider demon.
This roar, like the bellow of a celestial dragon, shook the spider demon's multiple faces into fragments.
In the blink of an eye, countless accompanying demons were mercilessly slaughtered by Mo Hua.
Even the three powerful Twin-Born Demon Beasts were no match for him.
What Situ Zhenren witnessed was a one-sided, overwhelming, and brutal slaughter by divine consciousness.
Situ Zhenren was stunned, repeatedly asking himself:
"Is this a human?"
"Is this really something a human can do?"
"Is what I'm seeing real? Is this not just an illusion before my death?"
