The Quest for Immortality

Seeing the bloody Undying Rune of destiny in the Young Master Shi’s palace, Mo Hua’s gaze slightly narrowed, his mind racing.

The Demon Path Undying Rune is as renowned as the Righteous Dao’s special Eternal Life Rune, a protective talisman crafted for the direct lineage prodigies.

It can only be refined by a Demon Path ancestor beyond the Heaven Void Realm, nearing death and despairing of the Great Dao, using their origin as a conduit.

Up till now, Mo Hua had seen many special Eternal Life Runes, and he had personally shattered five of them.

But as for the Demon Path Undying Rune, Mo Hua had only seen it once.

That was years ago, outside Li State City, when he encountered a Demon Gate Saint Heir with a bloody mark on his forehead.

Mo Hua’s gaze grew cold.

”Is this Young Master Shi also a Demon Path Saint Child?”

”Even if not... having been planted with an Undying Rune means he surely has a direct ancestor in the Demon Path, a prodigy with high expectations, an heir of a Demon Great Sect, with a very noble status...”

”Such a person is worth breaking the taboo for a kill...”

Mo Hua but couldn’t help but give rise to a killing intent in his heart.

Yet in the next instant, he forced himself to calm down.

To attack this Saint Heir would inevitably trigger the Undying Rune, causing the Bloody Dharma Phase of the Demon Path Heaven Void to appear...

Despite the Third Grade Heavenly Dao limit, this Demon Path Undying Dharma Phase can only appear for an instant, but with that instant of Heaven Void’s pressure, it would surely be enough to obliterate his flesh...

At his current self, he had no qualifications to contend against Heaven Void.

Moreover, this is in Li State, in Little Post City, unlike the Qian Learning State Boundary.

There is no Fifth Grade Mount of Tao Large Formation protecting the sword discussion disciples to shield himself against the Heaven Void Dharma Phase’s obliteration.

Not to mention, whether he could even kill this ”Saint Child.”

Even if he were to kill him, he would die as a collateral consequence.

Even if he is lucky enough not to die, he would still face endless bloody revenge from the Demon Sects.

Mo Hua glanced at Young Master Shi, restraining his killing intent.

Young Master Shi felt a chill around him, which then quickly dissipated, only feeling that being looked at by Mo Hua for just a split-second, as if he had walked from the edge of life and death, rendering him both scared and angry.

No one had ever looked at him with such eyes.

No one had dared to look at him like this.

No one had ever given him such a feeling of dread.

Young Master Shi’s face grew paler, with a touch of flush due to anger:

”Damn it!”

The Copper Corpse, for some reason, was intimidated, so Young Master Shi simply abandoned the Golden Bell Corpse Control Skill, turning to infuse his flesh with white Corpse Qi, initiating Corpse Transformation, merging man and corpse.

His body heightened, robes ripped open to reveal strong pale muscles, claws like jade, eyes crimson like gems, hair draped over shoulders, ghostly amidst cold corpse Qi, charging towards Mo Hua.

Mo Hua clenched his hands, a flash of water light, conjuring a Water Prison from thin air, precisely confining the ”Corpse Transformed” Young Master Shi.

Young Master Shi roared, exerting force throughout, and suddenly shook, breaking through the Water Prison Technique, then continued forward.

But before he walked a few more zhang of ground, the formation patterns on the ground lit up, stone spikes inverted, turning into a prison to securely bind Young Master Shi again.

”Formation?”

Young Master Shi’s gaze grew cold, infusing corpse Qi into the muscles, igniting his body, then with an iron arm swept across, demolishing the cage, breaking the formation, continuing to charge towards Mo Hua.

This time, his movement was faster, actions more violent.

Yet seeing he was about to approach within three zhang of Mo Hua, Mo Hua pointed with his fingers, releasing three fireballs consecutively.

On the fireballs were entwined with dark gray sinister Evil Qi, intimidating, locked with supreme accuracy, incredibly fast, utterly unavoidable.

Young Master Shi had no choice but to cross his arms, blocking in front, forcefully enduring these three fireballs.

The flames exploded, the aftermath pushed Young Master Shi back three steps.

But the blazing flames did not burn through his outer skin.

The sinister Evil Qi was also dissolved by an even more venomous corpse Qi on his body.

Mo Hua’s gaze subtly changed.

Young Master Shi lowered his arms, coldly smiling at Mo Hua, ”Is that all you have?”

Mo Hua’s expression turned gradually indifferent, pinching the fireballs, contemplating whether to just incapacitate Young Master Shi...

Killing him would trigger his Demon Path Undying Rune.

But if he just incapacitated his limbs, temporarily immobilizing him, it ought not to cause any trouble.

Mo Hua’s profound gaze assessed Young Master Shi, thoughts constantly shifting.

Young Master Shi’s gaze turned ice-cold.

At that moment, Mo Hua’s expression slightly changed, as if he sensed something, surrounded by a flash of water light, his figure gradually fading.

Young Master Shi was stunned, instantly realizing what Mo Hua intended, angered: ”Trying to run?!”

Amidst rampant Corpse Qi, Young Master Shi transformed into a blood light, launching a vicious attack towards Mo Hua.

Infused with ”Corpse Poison,” jade-like talons lunged toward Mo Hua’s throat.

Yet Mo Hua just looked at Young Master Shi indifferently, his figure dimmed, then completely vanished.

Under Young Master Shi’s Corpse Claw, Corpse Qi spread wide, shattering some Hehuan Cultivators caught in lustful indulgence nearby, tearing them into blood and flesh, but Mo Hua’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

Even extending his Divine Sense for detailed inspection yielded no traces.

Mo Hua seem to have truly ”vanished into thin air,” leaving no trace or energy.

Young Master Shi frowned, thinking: ”Who is this person? So strange, really a Foundation Building Cultivator?”

Just as he was pondering, suddenly a Golden Core aura came from afar.

A cultivator dressed in rich attire, an amiable face like a wealthy gentleman, yet holding an eerie Corpse Summoning Bell, walked in.
