The Quest for Immortality

It had long been overshadowed by Formation, only daring to emerge when Mo Hua was locked in a life-and-death struggle with a formidable enemy and was utterly exhausted.

But it also knew this was the only chance.

Black blood surged around Mo Hua.

”These days, I’ve been thinking, how can I possibly defeat you, how to kill you, how to consume you...”

”My sealed memories are awakening bit by bit, but within these memories, there’s no method to kill you.”

”Ancient existences dwell within your Sea of Consciousness, and you’re shrouded in secrets. Your Divine Sense is too strong, and your spell points are endless.”

”Therefore, I realized...”

The Evil Embryo smiled darkly, ”I can’t defeat you, only you can defeat yourself, only you can kill yourself...”

Mo Hua was startled, feeling something was amiss.

Then the Evil Qi suddenly appeared, and the black blood on his body seeped in like worms, penetrating the subtle tentacles, seeping into his Divine Thought incarnation, continuously absorbing, copying, assimilating, as if to divide him.

Mo Hua struggled, but it was to no avail.

After an unknown amount of time, the black blood had completely enveloped Mo Hua, like an embryo, which eventually trembled, hatched, shed its skin, and transformed into another figure.

And the Evil Embryo merged with this figure, standing opposite Mo Hua.

Mo Hua slowly raised his head, his expression shocked.

Standing opposite was another ”Mo Hua.”

A ”Black Mo Hua” of the same size, stature, and appearance, but drenched in black blood, exuding sinister evil, eerie and terrifying.

At that moment, ”Black Mo Hua” grinned, revealing ghastly white teeth:

”This is my ultimate origin Divine Skill: Embryonic Transformation.”

Its voice was identical to Mo Hua’s, but in its clearness, there was a hint of cunning and malice.

”I used your Divine Soul as the lure and my Divine Way as the ’womb’ to hatch another you.”

”I can’t corrupt you, nor can I make you become me.”

”In that case, I shall become you.”

”Thus, as long as I kill you and consume you, we’ll be indistinguishable, you in me, and I in you, merging into the final Divine Fetus, ultimately becoming one.” 𝙨

Mo Hua’s face was somewhat unsightly.

He pointed with his conjoined fingers, conjuring a raging fireball, launching it straight at the ”Black Mo Hua” formed by the Evil Embryo.

Simultaneously, ”Black Mo Hua” also pointed, emitting a jet black fireball that roared out, colliding with Mo Hua’s red fireball.

The blaze erupted, Divine Thoughts exploded, and the fireballs dispersed, but the black fireball carrying Evil Qi was evidently superior.

Mo Hua clenched his palm into a fist, with a grasp he conjured a Water Prison to bind ”Black Mo Hua.”

The black water flashed, and Black Mo Hua used the Water Passing Step, escaping from the Water Prison Technique, and after steadying himself, he casually grabbed, conjuring a Black Water Prison Skill that suddenly descended upon Mo Hua.

Mo Hua also used the Water Passing Step to dodge, then his eyes deepened, and with a thought, he manifested the Golden Lock Formation, trapping ”Black Mo Hua” completely from all directions.

Golden Formation Patterns transformed into chains, binding ”Black Mo Hua’s” body.

But ”Black Mo Hua” suddenly smirked viciously, and with a wave of his left hand, removed all the Golden Lock Formation Patterns surrounding him.

With a concentration of his right hand, he manifested the Black Leaving Fire Sword, casually slashing to break apart the entire Golden Lock Formation, causing it to collapse and completely disperse.

Mo Hua’s expression was exceedingly grave.

”Black Mo Hua” looked at him, grinning, the smile both innocent and wicked, ”I told you, I hatched as you, I am you, and I know all the moves you do.”

Mo Hua was momentarily speechless.

After this exchange, he personally experienced just how troublesome ”himself” truly was.

Moreover, it was more than just that.

Now, he was long exhausted.

While in front of him, this blackened self had just been hatched by the Evil Embryo, still in a ”peak” state, fighting on like this was simply not feasible.

Mo Hua sighed, ”Though from the same source, why must we fight so harshly? Since you are me, why don’t we shake hands and make peace? Why must it come to life and death?”

”Black Mo Hua” sneered at this:

”I’ve said, I am you, you can deceive others, but don’t deceive ’yourself’.”

Mo Hua sneered.

”Black Mo Hua” pointed a finger, sending a black fireball blasting towards Mo Hua, then clenched his palm, once more manifesting the Black Leaving Fire Sword, performing the Water Passing Step, flickering a few times, closing in on Mo Hua, the sword tip aiming straight for Mo Hua’s heart.

Mo Hua used the Water Passing Step to evade the black fireball, grabbed with his reverse hand, manifesting the Taia Mountain Opening Sword, twirling it into a flourish, deflecting the Black Leaving Fire Sword that thrusted towards his chest, then engaged in close combat with his ”blackened” self.

However, following a battle with the Third Grade Divine Remains, Mo Hua’s Divine Thought was overly depleted, he was simply not a match for ”Black Mo Hua,” whether in spells, formations, or swordsmanship, he fell behind in every aspect.

”Black Mo Hua’s” maneuvers grew increasingly fierce and ruthless.

Mo Hua’s breath increasingly weakened, his wounds multiplying, injuries worsening.

But nevertheless, Mo Hua still persevered arduously.

Yet his perseverance obviously had its limits.

After an unknown duration of battle, Mo Hua finally reached the brink of exhaustion, his Divine Thought unable to withstand further, he stumbled, revealing a flaw.

The ever-dominating ”Black Mo Hua” showed a ghastly grin, left hand closing in space, Evil Thoughts surged, manifesting the Separation Mountain Cremation Formation, trapping Mo Hua within it.

Then it conjured the Black Water Sword with its right hand, fiercely flinging it, the sinister Evil Qi-stained Black Water Sword flew through the air, aiming straight for Mo Hua’s heart.
