The Quest for Immortality

”Little demon, trying to destroy my Taoist Field?!”

The River God turned into a blood fluid, with Evil Thoughts surging, immediately chasing after Mo Hua.

However, after a long chase, even as they reached the plaza, there was still no sign of Mo Hua.

”Where did he go?”

The River God furrowed his strange eyebrows.

It pondered briefly, then suddenly felt a chill and exclaimed:

”The main hall!”

This little demon, used some method to conceal his aura, creating a diversion.

He’s plotting to steal home!

The River God was so furious that its beard and hair bristled, immediately the Blood River reversed flow, rushing back to the front of the main hall at a greater speed.

From a distance, it saw that the usually sealed door of the main hall had been forcefully broken open, just enough for a child to slip through.

”What a cunning beast!”

The River God, in a fury, charged into the main hall.

Inside the main hall, adorned with blood-red silk and gold covers, carved beams and painted rafters, luxurious and opulent, were various skull sculptures and pearls formed by blood-colored Evil Thoughts.

It was like a Dragon Palace at the riverbed.

Only this ”Dragon Palace” had a dense blood color and numerous White Bones, slightly indicative of the underworld.

In the center of the main hall stood an altar.

The altar featured ancient reliefs, opulent settings, quiet and solemn.

In the center of the altar was a Divine Statue of the River God made from Goldstone, identical to the River God itself but with a pair of ram horns on its head, which looked very strange.

Beneath the Divine Statue was a sacrificial table.

The table was laden with fresh fish offerings, which upon closer inspection were all made from human flesh and bones.

In the middle of the table, a glazed fish tank was offered, filled with blood-red small fish.

Under the table, two children were kneeling, precisely the two sons of Yu Dahe.

At that moment, they were devoutly kneeling before the Divine Statue, with two special Blood Fish swimming in their minds, seemingly ”assimilating” the two children.

The children appeared to be ”metamorphosing”; blood-colored gills grew on their cheeks, blue fish scales appeared on their skin, and their limbs showed signs of fin-like transformations, gradually turning into two ”little river demons.”

And at this time, Mo Hua stood in front of the altar, touching his chin, thinking while nodding slightly.

Firstly, he guessed correctly.

The River God had unleashed the Divine Skills of the Immeasurable Blood River, flooding much of the River God Temple, but only two places were not submerged, one was the plaza and the other was the main hall.

In the plaza, were followers of the River God, which formed the basis of his preaching.

The doors of the main hall were closed, he had never entered before, and did not know what was inside.

But the River God had not submerged the main hall, surely because there was something in the hall as crucial as the basis of its preaching, or even more important.

Since it was difficult to determine a clear victor, Mo Hua thought it would be better to see for himself; so he pretended to escape to the plaza, but actually used the Concealment Technique to secretly return and break into the River God’s true ”home” to see the real altar.

The River God never expected Mo Hua to still be capable of Concealment.

Nor did it expect Mo Hua to be so audacious and cunning!

It trembled with anger upon seeing Mo Hua.

Mo Hua, standing before the altar, squinted at the River God and smiled.

The River God instantly understood what Mo Hua wanted to do, and shook uncontrollably, yelling:

”You dare?!”

There was nothing Mo Hua dared not do.

With the speed of a thunder clap, he lifted the glazed fish tank and forcefully smashed it on the ground, crushing every Blood Fish inside.

Then, he kicked over the sacrificial table, turned around and with another kick, toppled the Divine Statue, and even jumped on top of the Divine Statue’s head, breaking off the two ram horns.

Mo Hua acted extremely swiftly.

The River God was too far to intervene, could only watch as Mo Hua wreaked havoc, and in the blink of an eye, turned the whole altar into a mess.

The heart of the River God was bleeding.

This was an altar it had constructed with immense effort over hundreds of years, only to be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Rage overwhelmed its heart, and the blood on its robe darkened as its Evil Thoughts boiled.

At the moment the altar was destroyed and the glazed fish tank smashed, the Blood Fish Evil Spirit in the brains of Yu Dahe’s two sons, like fish out of water, gradually withered and died within moments.

The two children also stopped metamorphosing.

Mo Hua thought indeed.

To eradicate evil, one must strike at the roots; to exorcise demons, one must eliminate the origin.

The altar was the key to everything.

Meanwhile, in the plaza, the Fish Cultivators kneeling to the River God, the Blood Fish in their minds also died one by one.

Their gazes gradually regained clarity.

As if awakening from a nightmare, their clouded cognition slowly returned, and they gradually began to exit the dreamland.

The entire River God Temple seemed to be subtly shaking.

This ”collective nightmare” was constructed by the River God but supported by the faith of the Fish Cultivators.

Now that the altar was destroyed, the nightmare lost its origin, and once the Fish Cultivators awaken and detach from the nightmare, it would surely shake the foundation of the whole nightmare.

The eyes of the River God were already blood red.

It had been cautious enough, but didn’t expect to encounter such an outrageous Human Race demon today.

Not only was his Divine Thought extraordinarily strong, but his state of mind was also profoundly cunning and sly.

His deceptive tactics of creating diversions directly destroyed the altar, indicating that he was not ignorant of the Dao of the deities.

He may even know a great deal.

The taboos of the Dao of the deities are only circulated among deities, and humans know very little.

Which damned deity has revealed the deities’ taboos to this despicable little demon?!

The Divine Body of the River God began to contort and deform.

Its fish head seemed to have grown a tumor, swelling and shrinking unpredictably.

This was due both to anger and because the ”nightmare” was shattered, shaking its very origin.
