The entire great hall was filled with the power of destructive annihilation.

In an instant, Mo Hua even saw the transformation of the Heavenly Dao into pitch-black laws after telekinesis disintegrated.

His eyes reflected the magnificent yet terrifying "God Extinction" flower.

But only for that instant.

Soon, the overwhelming, raging backlash of Divine Thought filled the entire hall.

Then, everything vanished without a trace, returning to the void.

All auras disappeared.

Mo Hua steadied his anxious heart, hesitated for a moment, then slowly stepped into the Divine Temple, only to see that after several fierce battles, the originally precarious temple had completely turned into ruins.

Large patches of the magnificent and grand walls had been disintegrated into ash.

There was also a huge pit on the ground.

Besides that, there was nothing else; everything had perished, everything had been obliterated.

The Evil Embryo was gone, and Lord Yellow Mountain was gone too.

The Mountain God of Guhuang Mountain, Lord Yellow Mountain, at the peak of Third Grade, together with the Evil Embryo, had perished together.

"The Mountain Lord is dead..."

Mo Hua felt a slight sorrow in his heart.

Then suddenly, the air of cause and effect trembled.

Mo Hua was startled and released his Divine Sense to scan the Divine Temple again, only to discover a faint gold glow in the center of the hall.

Approaching closely, Mo Hua's eyes slowly widened.

Divine Marrow!

This was a strand of pure golden Third Grade Divine Marrow!

"Mountain Lord?"

Mo Hua sensed it and sighed, feeling a bit regretful.

This was pure Divine Marrow without a trace of consciousness.

The Mountain Lord had completely died.

This golden, radiant Divine Marrow seemed more like... a "gift" the Mountain Lord left for him.

This was pure golden Third Grade Divine Marrow.

It was purer than any Divine Marrow before, and even more precious.

Mo Hua could even feel an opportunity to break through twenty patterns of Divine Sense from it.

He felt grateful but also somewhat puzzled.

"If the Mountain Lord is so good to me, does that mean... he wants me to do something?"

Mo Hua recalled the Mountain Lord's last words:

"If we truly are friends... take my... and leave Solitary Mountain."

Take what?

Divine Marrow?

Possible...

But Mo Hua felt something was not quite right; in the depths of his mind, he always sensed that this Divine Marrow was deliberately left for him by Lord Yellow Mountain.

Because Divine Marrow that reached his mouth could not be let slip.

Divine Marrow had a strong allure for deities and quasi-deities; Lord Yellow Mountain could not have been unaware.

More so, considering Lord Yellow Mountain's conflicted expression at that time, it was clear he had a more important entrustment...

One that he didn't even dare to speak aloud.

"What could it be?"

Mo Hua furrowed his brow, momentarily unable to grasp it.

After pondering for a moment, stones suddenly fell from above, shattering into strands of thought, and there were faint cracks on the ground.

"Not good..."

Mo Hua realized suddenly that the nightmare had begun to collapse following the death of the Evil Embryo.

"Elder Xun..."

He quickly rose to check on Elder Xun and the others, whether they were affected, but just as he took a step, a huge repelling force struck, the space cracked, forming a whirlpool of reality and illusion, pulling Mo Hua completely into it.

The Evil Embryo was the center of the nightmare.

With the Evil Embryo dead, the entire nightmare began to collapse from the Divine Temple.

Mo Hua was the first to be swept away.

After Mo Hua vanished, the dream continued to collapse little by little.

In a corner of the great hall, a spot unnoticed by anyone, even Mo Hua, there remained half a dragon bone.

On the dragon bone, there lingered a strand of the power of Divine Thought disintegration.

This disintegration slowly eroded the dragon bone.

The dragon bone's dragon energy resisted this power of destruction.

Suddenly, the dragon bone trembled, revealing an eye that was turbid and ancient—it was Second Elder's eye.

He deeply looked at the spot where Mo Hua dispersed and murmured the name:

"Mo Hua..."

Then the dragon aura dispersed, and the dragon bone completely disintegrated.

Yet before the dragon bone disintegrated, the dreamland had already collapsed first, and the last remaining remnant thought of Second Elder, parasitic in the dragon bone, also left the nightmare, drifting to an unknown destination...

...

Qian Learning State Boundary.

Qian Taoist Sect.

As the Evil Embryo died, a layer of sinister, hazy fog of karmic causality dispersed.

The Old Ancestor of the Shen Family, who was meditating and cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, clutching his chest, his heart inexplicably filled with anxiety.

"What happened..."

The Old Ancestor of the Shen Family frowned, calculated with his fingers, and his expression changed drastically, calling: "Someone, come!"

An elder from the Shen Family who was a confidant walked in, bowing, "Old Ancestor."

"Quick," the Old Ancestor of Shen Family said with a trembling voice, "go to Solitary Mountain, eliminate the karma..."

The elder from the Shen Family paused, speaking softly, "Old Ancestor, the commotion will be too great, it might alert other families..."

"It doesn't matter, hurry up!" the Old Ancestor of Shen Family scolded, "Send everyone you can, use fire skills, fire talismans, fire formations, burn all those things..."

It was the first time for the elder to see the Old Ancestor so out of control, immediately sending a chill down his spine, realizing that the problem might be more severe than he thought.

"Yes!" The elder bowed and then hurriedly retreated.

The Old Ancestor of Shen Family sat withered on the spot, furrowing his brows, his heart still filled with unease.

"How could it be leaked..."

"Moreover, where did this ancient evil qi come from? Who exactly... could even deceive me..."

...

At the moment the Old Ancestor of Shen Family realized the situation.

Taixu Gate, Elder's Residence.

Elder Master Xun, who was fiddling with a compass and recording something, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

He returned the current calculation on the compass to its position, and then made a deduction towards the direction of Solitary Mountain, his expression suddenly changed, sending out a sword talisman.

Before long, Xun Zixian came over, respectfully saying:

"Old Ancestor."

Elder Master Xun solemnly said: "There is no time to delay; take some sect elders and go to Solitary Mountain immediately."

"Solitary Mountain?"

"There... a great karma has emerged," Elder Master Xun said seriously, "Moreover... Mo Hua is also there."

Xun Zixian's heart trembled, immediately nodding in agreement:

"Alright!"

...

Not just the Old Ancestor of Qian Taoist Sect and Taixu Gate, some other great families and great sects also had ancestors gradually noticing the anomaly.

"There's something strange in the northwest..."

"The territory of the Shen Family?"

"Send people over..."

"Don't startle the Shen Family..."

"Gather intel, as much as you can..."

"This old fox, even he slips up sometimes..."

"See if you can catch some evidence..."

"Always walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet..."

"...find a way to take a bite of the spoils."

Messages from the upper echelons of families and sects spread, groups of cultivators, whether openly or covertly, whether pretending to be unintentional or intentionally heading towards Solitary Mountain...

The situation was changing like the wind and clouds, with undercurrents beginning to surge.

...

Solitary Mountain, within the Divine Temple.

Mo Hua woke up drowsily, unable to open his eyes at first, accompanied by slight tinnitus, ambiguously hearing someone muttering, interspersed with the sound of blades slicing flesh.

"Royal offspring of the Great Wilderness..."

"...what's so special...ultimately just a puppet of the Divine Lord, a higher-grade slave..."

"Your only value is your bloodline."

"...the bloodline of the royal family is the foundation of the Karma Dragon of the Great Wilderness."

"Now, this Dragon Pattern has been nurtured, and it will welcome its new master, while you... are unworthy, let your ambition bury you forever at the base of this Solitary Mountain..."

...

This voice, coarse like a beast's, didn't sound human.

Mo Hua forced his eyes open, able to vaguely perceive a blurry figure, and as his vision gradually cleared.

He saw the scene before him.

A pale-skinned and twisted-featured demon was skinning Shen Tuao.

This scene was bloody.

Even more shocking to Mo Hua was the appearance of another human head above this pale demon at some unknown time.

This head was not real flesh but a blood-colored phantom.

The features were refined but carried a hint of madness, the disposition refined yet carrying a streak of brutality.

Although he had never seen this face, the karmic bond made Mo Hua intuitively guess his identity immediately:

Mr. Tu!

This pale demon was indeed the blood and flesh puppet of Mr. Tu!

As Mo Hua opened his eyes, the "Mr. Tu" parasitic in the demon also realized something was amiss.

With the right hand gripping a sacrificial knife, and the left holding the partially skinned human flesh, it sinisterly turned its head to meet Mo Hua's gaze, eyes filled with confusion.

"You... are not dead?"

"Impossible... you entered the nightmare of the Divine Lord, you couldn't have survived, couldn't have escaped..."

"The Divine Lord he..."

"Mr. Tu" sensed something internally, and then his entire expression changed, filled with terror:

"Where is the Divine Lord?!"

"My master... why is he gone?!"

His eyes suddenly became fierce, staring at Mo Hua, shouting hoarsely:

"What did you do?"

"Quick! Tell me!"

"Where is my master's Divine Fetus?"

"Why is it gone?!!"
