The Quest for Immortality

The Evil Baby chuckled sinisterly.

Its laughter was somewhat frightening.

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart, sensing something amiss. Without hesitation, he attempted to use the Robbery Thunder to completely wipe out the Evil Baby, but when he raised his hand, he found it empty.

”Gone?”

Mo Hua was shocked, immediately focusing inward. After some time, he discovered the Evil Baby had transformed into strands of black energy, infiltrating into his Divine Thought incarnation like blood.

And it wasn’t just that.

It was also penetrating into his Divine Soul, gradually merging with it!

By the time Mo Hua realized it, it was already too late. He found that the Fushi Soul among his Seven Souls had completely turned into a filthy black.

This was the color of the Evil God, a symptom of pollution.

Mo Hua’s expression changed, and he immediately activated the Soul-Shocking Sword to cleanse his Seven Souls with Sword Qi.

The other six souls could still be stimulated to cleanse the soul, but only the Fushi Soul remained unmoved, as if it no longer belonged to him and therefore did not obey his command.

At that moment, Mo Hua found himself speaking.

But these words were not his own; they were the Evil Baby, residing in his Seven Souls, using his voice.

Even his face involuntarily formed a venomous smile, akin to that of the Evil Baby.

His voice became sharp and piercing:

”This Evil Soul Fusion Skill, merging the embryo into the soul, one Divine Fetus can only be used once. I didn’t intend to use it lightly...”

”But I never expected that such a great secret was hidden within you. Without using this origin Divine Skill, I’m afraid this Divine Fetus would meet the fate of soul death and Dao disappearance.”

”To have forced me to this point, you should be proud.”

”However, this is the end. My Divine Fetus has already merged into your Seven Souls and will gradually spread, ultimately integrating entirely with your Divine Soul, transforming you.”

”Then, you will be me, and I will be you.”

”You will become the embryo through which I descend into the world, becoming my ’woman’, becoming one of the true forms of the Master of the Great Wilderness...”

Under the influence of the Evil Baby, Mo Hua couldn’t suppress himself and let out an owl-like laugh.

The next instant, Mo Hua quickly covered his mouth, rubbed his face to ensure his expression returned to normal, and then said with a cold smile:

”Little lamb, you wish!”

He activated the Seven Souls Shocking God Sword again, but still could not cleanse the polluted Evil Spirit.

He calmed himself through meditation.

But the Evil God’s embryo was hidden too deeply, nearly fused with his Divine Soul.

In the absence of using evil thoughts or deliberately affecting Mo Hua’s Taoist Heart, Mo Hua could barely notice it.

Kill it?

Mo Hua frowned.

The spell and formation power were insufficient; using Divine Thought into sword... to cut his own soul?

But the Evil Embryo had already become one with him. Even if he could cut, it might not be eliminated.

Besides, if he accidentally cut away one of his own souls, it would be a huge mishap.

Even if he survived, he might become a fool.

Use the Taoist Stele or Robbery Thunder?

Mo Hua considered it but found it was the same problem.

The Evil Embryo was fused into his Fushi Soul.

If it surfaced and he caught it, the Taoist Stele could suppress it, and the Robbery Thunder could destroy it.

But now it lay dormant, fused with his soul through this ”Evil Soul Fusion Skill,” essentially becoming a part of him.

The Taoist Stele couldn’t suppress it.

Nor could he use the Robbery Thunder to destroy it.

Because destroying the Evil Embryo would mean destroying himself.

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart.

”It seems really troublesome now...”

Mo Hua frowned deeply, pondering and recalling all his Divine Dao Knowledge and Divine Dao techniques he had mastered, but he was still at a loss, without the slightest clue, and couldn’t help but gasp.

He really played himself this time...

Got himself entangled.

Mo Hua felt a headache.

Mainly, he hadn’t expected to be schemed against after so much meticulous planning, only to suddenly run into the Divine Fetus of an Evil God.

”It can’t be such a coincidence; I must have been plotted against...”

”Who would plot against me? That Mr. Tu?”

Mo Hua frowned, thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and found it quite possible.

He silently noted it down in his heart.

He could settle the score later, but the question was, what to do now?

Mo Hua pondered again with a frown, still with no solution, and could only sigh and temporarily compromise in the end.

”Forget it, let’s get out first.”

”I’ll find a way outside, maybe inquire with Lord Yellow Mountain, or..e clean with Elder Master Xun? Tell them I’ve been possessed by an Evil God, and it’s not just any Evil God’s Remains, but a true Evil God’s Embryo?”

”I wonder if Elder Master Xun would slap me to death...”

Mo Hua muttered to himself.

But in this situation, he had no other choice. After getting out, if all else failed, he could only seek out Elder Master Xun.

Just as Mo Hua was about to leave his Sea of Consciousness, he suddenly paused, feeling uneasy.

After a moment’s thought, he laid down a Divine Tao Array around his Divine Soul, sealing it to prevent the Evil Baby from suddenly causing trouble.

But with the Divine Soul sealed, the Soul-Shocking Sword couldn’t be used either.

Of course, the Soul-Shocking Sword required the use of the Seven Souls.

Now that one of his souls was polluted by the Evil Embryo, it was not advisable to use this Sword technique anymore.

Once the Soul-Shocking Sword was used, and the Seven Souls emerged from the body, the Evil Embryo lurking in the Fushi Soul would surely find an opportunity to deepen its infiltration and pollution of his Life Soul...

Mo Hua sighed again.

After sealing his Divine Soul and confirming there was no abnormality with the Evil Embryo, Mo Hua’s Divine Thought left the Sea of Consciousness and returned to reality.

Upon opening his eyes, he was still at the altar from before.

The altar in the nightmare had become a complete mess due to the struggle between Mo Hua and the Evil Baby.

The altar in reality, however, remained intact.

On the altar of white bone, eerie candles burned, with bloodstained offerings laid out.

Mr. Witch was also kneeling there.

Except, his Divine Soul had already been crushed by Mo Hua in the nightmare of the altar, leaving only a corpse.

Afraid that Uncle Gu would worry, Mo Hua initially wanted to leave quickly, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

He had been ambushed.

Not only that, but his painstakingly cultivated Soul-Shocking Sword had been ”sealed” just like that.

The more Mo Hua thought, the angrier he got, and the more he felt shortchanged.

He simply jumped back onto the altar, immersed his Divine Sense into the nightmare of the altar, and amidst the radiance of Dao Laws, he communicated with the Divine Authority Tree, taking control of the authority, and began ”vengefully” targeting and consuming the countless Demon Monsters at the nodes of the Divine Authority Tree of the Great Wilderness’s master.

”Dare to scheme against me... I’ll devour them all!”

Previously, he had done it stealthily, afraid of being discovered.

Now, after the fight and taking the loss, having confronted the little fellow of the Master of the Great Wilderness and being schemed against, he was no longer behaving cautiously.

Fueled by anger, Mo Hua was unrestrained.

He intended to feast on a ”free meal” greedily!

As he greedily devoured node after node, he suddenly paused.

He felt as though... he discovered a big one.

A familiar feeling came over him from one of the slightly familiar nodes, exuding a terrifying aura.

This seemed to be a pitch-black, unknown chaotic creation, a mixture of a Demigod, Evil God, and Demon Monster, emanating an eerie and chaos-filled aura.
