Mo Hua calmed his emotions and thought carefully again.
The Annihilation of the Dao might still not be considered complete, at most it is just the rudimentary form of the Annihilation of the Dao.
After all, he was still in the Qi-refining Realm, only capable of drawing First-grade Formation Methods, and could only calculate and spur the Power of Annihilation fit for the Qi-refining First-grade.
But that was enough.
Mo Hua was already very satisfied with this power.
The Black Bear Demon at the peak of the First-grade in its late stage was destroyed by the Formation Collapse, dying instantly, which had already surpassed the destructive power of an ordinary Qi-refining cultivator.
"If that is the case, then could the Compound Formation Collapse... really injure a Foundation Building Cultivator?"
Mo Hua couldn’t help thinking.
Who should he test it on?
Considering its power, even a cultivator in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment could possibly die upon testing...
Then he could only try it on some bad Foundation Builders.
Mo Hua stroked his chin, pondering:
"How about sacrificing the Third Householder?"
After all, he was very likely to be executed by the Taoist Court, so using him to test a Formation before his death would be making use of waste.
But the Taoist Court may not agree.
Beheading is a punishment according to the Taoist Law, using someone for testing a Formation could be seen as administering private punishment, which is probably against the rules.
Mo Hua felt somewhat regretful in his heart.
If only he had learned it earlier himself.
That way, during the attack on Black Mountain Stronghold, he could have found a way to secretly use it and test the power of Formation Collapse against Foundation Building Cultivators.
The only Foundation Builder left in Black Mountain Stronghold now was the Patriarch of the Qian Family.
But the Patriarch was in the middle phase of Foundation Establishment and was cunning and calculating.
Whether Formation Collapse could kill him, Mo Hua was not very sure, and even if it could, he might not be able to outsmart him.
Otherwise, he might end up with a loss, falling into the hands of the Patriarch of the Qian Family.
Mo Hua released his Divine Sense to confirm that the surroundings were safe and that the Black Bear Demon was indeed dead, then he ran forward to examine the detailed situation.
One small half of the Black Bear Demon’s body was intact, not a single hair damaged.
However, the other half of the body had disappeared, turning into black powder that was dark and tasteless, devoid of any scent of blood or Spiritual Power, like the silent remnants of death after a life had faded away.
This is the understanding of a Formation Master about Formations, the application of the power of the Heavenly Dao.
"Formation Masters are truly fearsome..."
Mo Hua murmured, then nodded:
"Fortunately, I am a Formation Master!"
Mo Hua felt a slight sense of relief.
After that, he found a small grass in the black powder.
This grass was intentionally left by Mo Hua, which was the "Life-gate" he created.
Mr. Zhuang told him that life and death cycle within the Great Dao, transforming between creation and annihilation; if there’s annihilation, naturally there is also life.
The power of Formation Collapse could annihilate everything, but within that annihilation, there was also a hint of life, which is the "Life-gate" left through the Calculation of Divine Sense.
Mo Hua wanted to test the power of the Compound Formation Collapse as well as the preserved Life-gate containing life force.
And the location of this Life-gate was given to this small grass by Mo Hua.
In the slight mountain breeze, this tender grass swayed with the wind; even in the midst of the Compound Formation’s collapse, surrounded by the terrifying Power of Annihilation, it was still intact.
This proved that Mo Hua had calculated correctly.
He had not only calculated the power of Formation Collapse but had also pinpointed a Life-gate within that collapse.
Mo Hua couldn’t help feeling happy.
Afterwards, as long as he practiced Calculation more, attempted more collapses, and extrapolated more Life-gates, his skill in Formation would grow day by day.
Someday, his level in Formation would be so profound that it would make other Formation Masters fear him.
Happy for a while, Mo Hua then began to clean up traces.
The traces of the Formation Collapse had to be erased, and the Black Bear Demon had to be skinned and deboned, to be sold for Spirit Stones. Even though the fur was damaged and most of the blood qi was gone, not earning many Spirit Stones, every little bit counts, and it should not be wasted.
After cleaning up, Mo Hua summarized the uses of Formation Collapse and felt it was a pity.
Although Formation Collapse was strong, it was not particularly easy to use.
Collapse required prior Calculation, which consumed a great deal of Divine Sense and also required a lot of time.
Without sufficient preparation, it was impossible to use Formation Collapse against an enemy.
Moreover, for now, Formation Collapse could only be used like an Earth Fire Formation, as a trap.
