Eternal Night

Chapter 178 Beyond the Curtain
(PS: There are four updates today, and the second one will be at 12 o'clock. So the four updates will be at 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock, and o'clock. I heard that this seems to be more effective.)
"Two cores, what do you think... this looks like?"

Tai Anzhi came back from reconnaissance at the front, then casually drew a line on the ground, and everyone looked up.

The painting on the ground looked naturally very sloppy and abstract, but after everyone looked at it, they could roughly understand what Tai Anzhi wanted to express.

"Is this... an eyeball?"

Tai Anzhi nodded and said, "Yes, after I looked at it, the two core points are exactly two deep pits. They are densely packed with corpses. Some have turned into dry bones, and some have rotten flesh and blood. The two pits are almost the same size, and the position comparison is just as shown in the picture... If someone can look down from a high altitude, these two pits really look like two pupils without eyeballs!"

Everyone's hearts trembled.

Even though they had already accepted the worldview of supernatural powers, and even personally fought skeletons, ghosts, and various monsters here for more than four hours, they still felt frightened when they saw the sketch on the ground.

If these two deep pits are really the pupils of some kind of existence, then... how big is this existence? What kind of existence is it?
No one could imagine it at all.

Only Wu Xianxiao had a calm expression.

He had truly seen this kind of existence. Not to mention the skeletons of the descendants of the Gyoupo and the Peacock King that he saw in the tomb area of ​​Demon City, which were hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters in size. Just the finger he saw in the world of the pseudo-human in the weekend scene was so huge that it caused the destruction of the entire world.

This kind of thing is so abundant in the dream world...

"Then according to the results of our previous discussion, I will go to one place alone and you will go to another place, and we will try to completely resolve these two core points before dawn." Wu Xianxiao said to the many warriors.

Zhou Qingqing wanted to say something but stopped herself from saying anything in the end.

After four hours of fighting side by side, it was clear who was stronger and who was weaker.

Zhou Qingqing is slightly stronger than Xieshen and Tai'an, so they are in the same echelon. Yang Shaojun is slightly stronger than the other peak-level masters, but they are still in the same echelon. Everyone has a rough idea of ​​this.

Only Wu Xianxiao, everyone knew that he had not given his best, and it was a deep level of not giving his best, but in terms of combat power he was still far ahead of everyone else.

The normal strength of his arms is over ten tons, and he can jump over twenty meters high. His body can directly connect bones like cannonballs. The three great Dan Jin masters must attack the same place continuously, using Dan Jin and Rou Jin to crush the metal skeleton from the inside. He just reaches out and grabs it, and crushes it directly like tofu.

This most intuitive display of combat power would be hard to imagine if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

Even when the immortals on land were rampant in the world, no one had ever heard of one of them jumping twenty meters. Although there was the so-called ability to turn iron into mud, that required the use of both soft and hard strength at the level of an indestructible god. How could it be possible for him to catch something with just a stretch of his hand like Wu Xianxiao?
Naturally, everyone's hearts became more and more excited. The stronger Wu Xianxiao was, the more it demonstrated the power of human immortal martial arts.

At this time, he picked one core by himself, and all the others besieged another core. Even Zhou Qingqing, who had selfish motives, could not say anything to refute.

Everyone was a warrior, so they naturally would not drag their feet. Once the discussion was over, everyone immediately formed a group. Wu Xianxiao was alone, and the rest of the warriors united and each went to the two core points.

When Wu Xianxiao was alone, his speed was naturally much faster than when he acted with other warriors, and he was adjusting his energy as he walked along the way.

These days, it's been a huge improvement for him.

Through exchanges and discussions with a large number of martial artists, he obtained many secret manuals from Zhou Qingqing's school, including the key to exerting force of "following the flow makes you a human being and going against the flow makes you an immortal", plus the meditation effect of the Dengtianting mind training method. These days, he clearly felt that his Dan Jin began to increase significantly, and the purification effect was as if he had been in the Dan Jin stage for four or five years.

Now he is pondering the secret of the set of Qigong techniques, "If you follow the flow, you will become a human being, but if you go against the flow, you will become an immortal". This is a set of Qigong techniques that requires Dan Jin to practice, and the highest level that can be practiced is to see the indestructible gods. Now he can't practice it because his Dan Jin is not pure enough. If he forces it to practice, he will kill 800 enemies but lose 1,000 of his own, which is completely suicide.

(This time, the harvest in the dream world is really huge. Let alone other things, the mind-training method of ascending to heaven alone is incredible. There is also the method of using strength to move people and to go against the flow, which can increase my explosive power by 20 to 30 times. This is more than doubling the power!)

Wu Xianxiao was excited and his pace became faster. In just a few minutes, he saw densely swarms of skeleton monsters and ghosts pouring out of the huge pit in front of him, and a black gas was also continuously emerging from the deep pit. However, this was a scene that only Wu Xianxiao could see.

The two symmetrical deep pits are indeed the core source of the weak point of this curtain!
At that moment, Wu Xianxiao did not dare to delay and strode straight towards the deep pit.

Just as he approached the group of skeleton monsters, he pulled out his broken-blade sword, jumped into the group of monsters and swung it fiercely. A ripple cut through the air, and all the skeleton monsters within a five-meter radius of him were shattered.

A circle with a radius of five meters has an area of ​​more than seventy square meters, which is not small. However, Wu Xianxiao's speed is so fast that he clears everything within the seventy square meters in almost one or two seconds. The entire deep pit is clearing monsters at a speed visible to the naked eye.

That's not all. He kept destroying the terrain of the deep pit. The attack range extended by the Broken Sword made him seem like a bulldozer. Only a few dozen seconds had passed, and the area around the deep pit was like it had been gnawed by a dog, with a missing piece here and a missing piece there. As the terrain of the deep pit changed, the black gas emerging from it began to decrease rapidly, and the number of various monsters that emerged from it also decreased significantly.

Seeing this, Wu Xianxiao began to destroy the huge pit even faster, starting from the outer edge at the beginning, and then he jumped directly into the slope of the pit, destroying it in circles towards the inside. Gradually, the entire deep pit was about to collapse.

Suddenly, Wu Xianxiao stopped attacking and stared deeply into the deepest part of the pit. It was a dark void from which black air was pouring out, but he did not feel any danger from the void. The void gave him the feeling of some kind of passage, as if it was connected to some other place.

“Brother Wu…”

Suddenly, Wu Xianxiao was stunned. He seemed to hear some sound, but when he listened carefully, there was no sound.

He immediately sacrificed two sleepless spiritual lights. As soon as the two light balls left his sea of ​​consciousness, they immediately emitted light. When illuminated by this light, the surrounding skeleton monsters and ghosts instantly dissipated into powder, and the black air that surged out of the void channel was also burned.

“Brother Wu…”

Wu Xianxiao heard the voice again. He was very sure that this was not an illusion, and this voice...

At that moment, Wu Xianxiao leaped directly and penetrated into the void hole. In an instant, the world changed, and he saw countless broken scenes of heaven and earth. There were countless monsters living in these broken mirror-like scenes, and he was standing on a broken mirror.

"Brother Wu, it's you." A voice sounded, followed by a flash of great light, and Chu Minghao appeared in front of Wu Xianxiao.

He still looked the same, dressed in white, with a sword case on his back and a smile on his face, giving Blade a warm and peaceful feeling.

It's just that his clothes were a little wrinkled and dirty, his hair was a little messy, and his face looked a little haggard.

Chu Minghao smiled and said, "I sensed Brother Wu's presence from afar, and I also sensed that you could barely survive outside this curtain, so I called Brother Wu to talk to me. Otherwise, I would be suffocating to death if I were alone here."

Wu Xianxiao looked around and asked, "Is this outside the curtain?"

"Correct."

Chu Minghao smiled and said, "This dream world is very special. It can be used as a 'key' and a 'door lock'. But because of this, those fallen stars are also coveting it. They stretch out their tentacles from the dark abyss, trying to seize this dream world. What's more, the remaining limbs of the fallen things will instinctively climb up. This is the truth outside the curtain."

Wu Xianxiao still didn't understand what he said, but he subconsciously looked up...

Just on the void passage where he jumped out, two pitch-black pupils were embedded in a mirror, and the black gas flowed from these two pitch-black pupils into the void passage, and then entered the weak point of the curtain.

"…These are two pupils, from a god who has been dead for who knows how many epochs. Only two pupils remain. It has no self, no consciousness, but because of its long-standing death, just the place where it looks is enough to cause the reversal and imbalance of life."

Chu Minghao also looked at the two pupils and explained, "All the weak points of the curtain are similar. Because of the existence of a higher level, its breath, its projection, and its gaze caused ripples on the surface of the curtain, causing a hole in a certain area of ​​the curtain, which then spread to the surrounding weak points. However, that is actually still inside the curtain. The outside of the curtain is much more dangerous than the inside of the curtain."

Wu Xianxiao was about to speak when he was suddenly horrified to find that his hands and feet had turned completely black, and the darkness was spreading towards him.

"Brother Wu can resist some of the pollution, but he still can't stay outside this curtain for long."

Chu Minghao sighed. He was about to say something when he suddenly froze. He said with a gloomy expression, "I'm sorry for what happened to Brother Yamade and Miss Xu Shilan. I was busy upgrading the main brain during that time... But please don't give up hope, Brother Wu. I have roughly locked the area where the underworld is located. It's just that I don't have the strength to go there. But this is a hope. In the future, we may really be able to conquer death and resurrect our deceased relatives and friends..."

Chu Minghao patted Wu Xianxiao's shoulder. He didn't know what he did, but the darkness on Wu Xianxiao's hands and feet suddenly disappeared.

Chu Minghao then said seriously: "Brother Wu, I invited you here this time because I really have an important matter to ask you, and everyone inside the curtain..."

"Be careful. Both the company and the People's Revolutionary League have sent personnel into the dream world. They are not completely dependent on the main brain, so I don't have much control over them. And they didn't deliberately destroy the curtain, so I suspect..."

"'He' might have woken up! And he's in a maintenance team!"

Wu Xianxiao was stunned. When he was about to ask "him" about his situation, the scene suddenly changed. He found that he was still in the deep pit. Under his feet was still the slope of the deep pit that he had destroyed, and there were still countless skeletons and ghosts.

Everything just now seemed like a dream, or an illusion, but he could guarantee that it was definitely not an illusion.

Because there was a ball of light with the outline of a palm on his shoulder, and this ball of light was seeping into his body, and his sleepless aura seemed to have received some kind of help, and the two sleepless auras were rapidly expanding and condensing.

Just now, he really went outside the curtain!
