Chapter 1285: Money Mouse

Mo Hua could feel that these "Money Mouse"-like demonic creatures were currently lying beside him, gnawing at his flesh and blood, and even gnawing at his divine sense through his flesh and blood, causing some damage to his Dao body.

At the same time, there seemed to be poison mixed in their mouths.

This poison, through some unknown means, had actually infiltrated his sea of consciousness, softened his divine sense, and magnified the pain.

Only now did Mo Hua realize that the reason why drawing the Taotie pattern was so painful was not just because of the Taotie array itself.

It was also because these "Money Mice" were harming him.

They gnawed at him, causing his divine sense to be "poisoned," and the toxicity added to the pain. Under the dual action, the brutal pain of the Taotie gnawing at his body would intensify to a level that ordinary cultivators could not bear at all.

In the process of shaping the life-bound array, once the pain exceeded the limit that the divine sense could bear, causing one to go crazy, it would inevitably lead to major mistakes.

At best, the array patterns would be wrong, and all efforts would be wasted.

At worst, the bones would be damaged, the vitality would dissipate, and there would be no hope for the Great Dao.

Even more seriously, the life-bound array might self-destruct, and he would die on the spot.

If it weren't for Mo Hua himself possessing powerful "divinity," as well as the "non-human" calmness brought by divinity, and his almost cruel indifference to himself... the consequences would be unimaginable.

He also could not have possibly engraved the Twelve Meridians Taotie Life-Bound Spirit Bone Array.

Even now, he had successfully engraved the life-bound array, but in order to suppress the pain, he had been forced to mobilize too much "divinity."

"Divinity" was seriously over-standard, so much so that now, he wasn't even sure how much of his humanity was left on him.

In Mo Hua's heart, a burst of anger surged.

This was a cold anger that was almost unmixed with "humanity" and did not interfere with rationality.

It was pure "divine wrath."

Sensing this "divine wrath," the insidious "Money Mice" that were stealing and eating Mo Hua's Dao body were all stunned, and then their eyes revealed fierce light, their fangs grew longer, and each one became ferocious and ugly, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws at Mo Hua, and even increased the intensity of their "gnawing."

Golden light flashed in Mo Hua's eyes, and the divine sword broke through reality.

Wherever the sword light reached, the divine power was like fire, and these ferocious "Money Mice" were all crushed into powder and died suddenly.

In terms of Divine Dao and Heavenly Secret karma, these "ghostly tricks" and insidious rats were naturally no match for Mo Hua.

If he hadn't noticed them, that would be one thing.

Now that he knew, just one look, and these things had to die.

After obliterating the Money Mice, Mo Hua fell into deep thought.

"These Money Mice... what are they..."

"Is someone... harming me?"

Mo Hua's gaze sank slightly.

This cave was chosen at random on the path of his Divine Invoker's personal conquest, and it had undergone a large amount of deduction beforehand, shielding the heavenly secrets and closing the karma. Logically speaking, no one else should know.

But he didn't expect that these "Money Mice" would still find their way to his door.

At the most critical moment of his "engraving the life-bound array," these Money Mice were ruining his foundation and wanted to kill him...

Who exactly... had this ability to find his karma and locate his position?

Who had this means to send these "Money Mice" to his side without anyone knowing?

And how could they happen to catch the moment when he was "shaping his life-bound array," with internal and external dangers intertwined and his vigilance lowered, which was almost the most "fragile" moment...

"Money Mouse..."

Mo Hua's gaze became increasingly dangerous.

A moment later, he looked around, his eyes in the vision of a god.

The Money Mice had all been killed, the karmic lines had "self-immolated" and broken, and the heavenly secret means contained within were very high-level.

This was also the only way to "harm" him.

Apart from that, there were no other murderous opportunities in the cave.

Only then did Mo Hua manipulate the array torture instruments, undo the shackles, and pull the bloody needles out of his body.

On his fair skin, flesh and blood were turned out, and the pain was severe.

But having experienced the more intense, deeper, more tormenting, and even long-lasting pain of engraving the life-bound array, this simple physical pain was already nothing.

Mo Hua slowly stood up, condensed water vapor, washed away the blood stains on his body, and took out some medicinal juice to apply to his skin.

The scars on his outer skin were slowly being repaired.

And inside his body, the "post-operative" trauma left by bone engraving was also automatically healing with the operation of his life-bound array and the nourishment of the Ethyl-Wood Rejuvenation Array.

Mo Hua's slender, fair, and heavenly body was gradually recovering as before.

Mo Hua put on the Divine Invoker's long robe again, becoming that handsome and solemn Divine Invoker.

At the same time, in his golden eyes, deep majesty was also condensed.

Afterwards, Mo Hua put all the instruments used for engraving the life-bound array into his storage ring.

For those that couldn't be put away, he burned them all with fireball spells, leaving not a single trace or karma.

After doing all this, Mo Hua slowly walked out of the cave.

Outside the cave, the huge coffin was parked at the entrance.

The "Undying Great General" Lu Gu was guarding the entrance.

Besides that, Lu Gu, Dan Zhu, and the big tiger were also guarding beside it.

Seeing Mo Hua come out, Dan Zhu and the others were happy, and they all looked at Mo Hua, but after seeing Mo Hua, their expressions all became solemn.

Mo Hua's aura began to change.

His cultivation had advanced one step further, reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment, and signs of transformation towards Jin Dan had already appeared on his body.

At the same time, Mo Hua's aura was stronger.

It was an aura exclusive to the noble "god," not flamboyant, with inner divine charm, but also very overbearing.

Especially those eyes, golden and deep, had already lost the color of a "human."

Looking at it, it was like a god who looked down on all living things, and just one look was enough to make people feel fear.

Lu Gu, who was in the late stage of Jin Dan, only felt the pressure increase, and felt panic in his heart.

Even Dan Zhu, who had previously felt respect and love for Mo Hua, couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart at this moment.

This was the feeling that flesh-and-blood living beings felt instinctively when facing existences like gods.

"Sir, are you... alright?"

Dan Zhu's gaze was solemn, and he suddenly felt that the Mo Hua in front of him had become very strange.

"No matter," Mo Hua opened his mouth, this sentence was indifferent and majestic, almost without emotion, "The Divine Lord's great cause is not yet completed, the wilderness has not been unified, we must not slack off, continue... let's march to the next mountain realm..."

"Yes, Lord Divine Invoker." Lu Gu bowed.

Dan Zhu also looked at Mo Hua and bowed, "Yes, sir..."

"Go." Mo Hua said.

Lu Gu and Dan Zhu looked at Mo Hua, bowed, and turned to leave.

After the two left, the big tiger paced its way to Mo Hua, lowered its head and rubbed against Mo Hua's shoulder, its big eyes full of worry.

Mo Hua mechanically stroked the big tiger, and according to the suggestion he had given himself under "Dao Heart Planting Demon," he habitually talked to himself:

"I am..."

"I am..."

His memory seemed to have stalled, and he couldn't think of his name for a long time.

Mo Hua's face was as calm as water, and he pondered for a long time before he remembered that somewhat strange name:

"I am... Mo Hua."

"Mo Hua..."

His words were light, and the two words "Mo Hua" seemed to be getting further and further away from him.

The Divine Invoker war was still going on.

As the barbarian soldiers of Zhu Que Mountain and the barbarian slaves of the Divine Slave Tribe swept through the Great Wilderness like a raging fire.

The Divine Lord's prestige was still spreading on the land of the wilderness, and more and more barbarian cultivators witnessed the great achievements of Lord Divine Invoker...

Soon, half a month later, another second-grade mountain realm was conquered by the Divine Slave Tribe.

All barbarian slaves in the mountain realm were liberated.

The Divine Invoker's prestige was further promoted...

But in the largest Divine Invoker's great hall in the mountain realm.

On Mo Hua's cold face, there was no joy.

He looked at his fair palm and the deep blue Taotie pattern that was faintly visible on his hand taiyin lung meridian, and fell into deep thought.

His life-bound Taotie array was not as strong as he had expected.

At least it was far worse than Lu Gu.

With the blessing of the Taotie array, Lu Gu was a living monster, who would keep killing, keep killing, and when he was exhausted, he would dig out Jin Dan to eat, and after eating, he would continue to kill, and after killing, he would continue to eat...

Such an untiring, ceaseless, perpetual "killing machine."

But Mo Hua himself didn't feel like a "killing machine" at all.

Clearly, what was on his body was the "orthodox" twenty-four-pattern Twelve Meridians Taotie Spirit Bone Array.

What was on Lu Gu's body was just a "test version."

But now, his own seemed like a pirated version.

While Lu Gu, who was a "test product," was more like the genuine Taotie Spirit Bone monster.

"Is it because I haven't died yet?"

"Am I stronger if I die like Lu Gu?"

"Or is it because my skin is too weak to exert the true power of the Taotie Spirit Bone Array?"

"Or... is this Spirit Bone Array not yet nourished?"

Mo Hua frowned slightly.

This Spirit Bone Array was indeed not yet nourished.

Not to mention nourished, it might not even have been "started."

The Taotie Spirit Bone Array, since it was named "Taotie," naturally required huge power to support its operation.

And the source of this power was also very simple, nothing else, only spirit stones.

It was just that the amount of this spirit stone was unimaginably huge.

During this period, Mo Hua continuously refined spirit stones, absorbed spiritual power, and poured it into his Taotie Spirit Bone.

But he only saw it go in, not come out, and it was endless.

It was as if he were throwing spirit stones into a bottomless abyss, and he didn't know how long it would take to fill it.

In the Ganxue State Realm, Mo Hua didn't lack spirit stones, because he relied on the sect, had rich resources, and had Aunt Wan, as well as Master Gu from the Gu Family Refining Shop, who would often send him "dividends."

Other elders, in order to build a good relationship with this array genius, would also send him gifts from time to time.

Mo Hua was very well-off.

When he arrived at the Great Wilderness, he was first a Divine Invoker, and now he was a Divine Invoker, and he didn't lack spirit stones either.

Plus, he was from a poor loose cultivator background, and he was usually very frugal, not spending a single spirit stone that shouldn't be spent.

Therefore, Mo Hua hadn't experienced the feeling of lacking spirit stones for a long time.

But now, Mo Hua, who was "well-off" in spirit stones, looked at his Taotie Spirit Bone, but had no bottom in his heart.

He vaguely felt that all the spirit stones he had "saved" over the years were now going to be filled into this bottomless "black hole."

He didn't know how many spirit stones he had to "feed" to truly "feed" this Twelve Meridians Taotie Spirit Bone Array.

His Heaven Deduction Technique was a bottomless pit for divine sense.

His life-bound array was a bottomless pit for spirit stones.

Even though Mo Hua at this time was the "divinity" version of Mo Hua, with cold emotions and indifferent to general external things, thinking of these two "bottomless pits," he couldn't help but take a deep breath and frown.

But this matter could not be avoided.

This was a life-bound array, a life-bound magic treasure.

Even if he had to spend more spirit stones, he had to fill the Twelve Meridians Taotie Spirit Bone.

Mo Hua now only hoped that after he spent great effort to "feed" this Taotie Spirit Bone Array, his life-bound array could exert the true Taotie power and not disappoint him.

Thinking of this, a sense of "spiritual hunger" was born.

Mo Hua subconsciously stuffed another spirit stone into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

This was a "bad habit" he had formed after refining the Taotie Spirit Bone Array:

Eating spirit stones.

Although it would be more "orthodox" to crush the spirit stones like ordinary cultivators and absorb them as spiritual qi through the seven orifices and the acupoints of the whole body.

But Mo Hua couldn't help it.

He had engraved the Taotie Absolute Array on his bones, which to a certain extent was equivalent to melting the "Taotie" law into his body, and instinctively he was closer to the Taotie, so once he lacked something and longed for something, he subconsciously wanted to "eat" it in the most original way.

Now Mo Hua lacked spirit stones, so he couldn't help but eat them.

He ate spirit stones, really like eating "snacks."

Directly chewing them with his mouth, swallowing them, and then using his meridians and internal organs to digest them, absorbing the spiritual power into his bones along his twelve main meridians.

For cultivators, eating spirit stones empty-mouthed was definitely a "weird habit."

But Mo Hua now, full of divinity, didn't care whether he was a human, and didn't care about the so-called cultivator customs.

He followed the instincts of a god, that is, the "laws" in his body, to do things.

The law told him to eat, so he would eat.

If he didn't eat, his whole body would be very uncomfortable, and his divinity would also be very uncomfortable.

Mo Hua sat on the high position of the Divine Invoker, like a flesh-and-blood puppet of a god, while expressionlessly munching on spirit stones, while thinking about how to "eat" more spirit stones next, so as to fill his Twelve Meridians Taotie Spirit Bone Array.

He could naturally "loot" all the spirit stones of the tribes in the Great Wilderness for his own selfish interests and to nourish his life-bound array.

But the Great Wilderness was originally a place lacking spirit stones.

These precious spirit stone resources still had to be used to build the Thick Earth Array and improve the people's livelihood in the Great Wilderness.

At the same time, they also had to be used to promote the Divine War and unify the wilderness.

Spirit stones were resources for people's livelihood and war, and Mo Hua could not misappropriate them, otherwise, it would affect the overall situation.

Since that was the case, he could only find spirit stones from other places...

Mo Hua was eating spirit stones when his mind suddenly became clear and his gaze narrowed.

"Hua family..."

The Hua family was a large aristocratic family in Daozhou, with a deep foundation, and they were also making "war money" in the Great Wilderness, making huge profits from Grain Grain Bigu Pills, and were a "big fat sheep" that was oily and fat.

If, this big fat sheep was slaughtered...

"Mo Hua," who was like a god, looked coldly and licked the spirit stone crumbs from the corner of his mouth.

Three thousand wilderness.

The final land surrounded by famine.

In a certain third-grade mountain realm outside the rule of the Divine Invoker's forces.

In a secret room, the dim light flickered.

A middle-aged, half-fat Jin Dan cultivator was looking at the old rat jade carvings made of gold and jade that were shattered all over the ground, his brows tightly furrowed.

"The ancestor's means, also don't work..."

"This so-called 'Divine Invoker'... is actually this powerful? What exactly... is his background..."

Originally gentle in expression and advocating harmony to make money, Elder Yu was now cold and extremely ugly in expression. ===== CHAPTER 1286 =====
