Eternal Night

Chapter 293 Lost Civilization
This is not a real thing.

Wu Xianxiao knew this the first time he saw the pale arm, because when the arm grabbed him, he did not feel any strong wind on his face. There was no doubt that this arm was not a real object.

But the threat was real. When the arm appeared, Wu Xianxiao intuitively sensed the danger. As the arm got closer, his premonition of danger became stronger and stronger.

Cannot be touched!
Wu Xianxiao immediately threw away the notebook and retreated quickly, but the pale arm followed him like a shadow, at the same speed as him, even slightly faster, and was getting closer and closer to his face.

This is not speed!

This is a concept that only exists in his mind and sight!
Even if he retreats as fast as lightning, the attack will still get closer to him little by little!

At that moment, Wu Xianxiao suddenly stopped when he was only two meters away from the wall behind him. At the same time, his qi and blood rose at the same time, two sleepless lights in the dantian between his eyebrows flashed out, the iron furnace in the middle dantian boiled and roared, and his skin was covered with a layer of light gold.

The power of Chinese martial arts!

The blood of the human immortal martial arts is boiling!
The iron smelting record has a body of bronze skin and iron bones!
In an instant, a burst of energy exploded, and Jiujiu and Daphne were blown away before they could even react. A soft force protected them as they landed on the ground. Then they immediately felt a surge of hot energy, as if Wu Xianxiao had really turned into a huge human-shaped furnace, and the masculine and sharp energy filled the entire room.

At this moment, the skin of the pale hand was burned and evaporated, and was quickly turning into charcoal, but from behind the pale hand, a steady stream of pale limbs burst out, one, two, three... endless pale arms, adults and children, men and women, countless arms filled everything in front of Wu Xianxiao.

And this is just a tiny part of this pale and rotten body. On a more macroscopic scale, a sphere that is more than ten times larger than a planet is floating in an endless dark void. At this moment, there is a tiny bit of light at the edge of the dark void where it is located. Compared with the entire pale and rotten sphere, the size of this light is much smaller than a drop in the ocean, but instinctively, the pale and rotten sphere begins to move towards this light.

At the same time, a sound appeared from nothing on the pale and rotten sphere. It was very small at first, but the tiny sound began to resonate and vibrate with tens of millions, hundreds of millions, and endless times of tiny sounds, turning into unimaginable and indescribable horrific waves, as if awakening some indescribable existence. This sphere, infinite limbs, and these horrific waves all rushed towards the light spot.

At the other end of this light spot, Wu Xianxiao faced the endless stream of pale limbs and he only made one move.

Gather your strength, draw your sword, and cut out.

How will a warrior react when faced with a sudden desperate situation?
It's nothing more than raising a fist, holding a gun, or drawing a sword... Even if I'm going to die in the next second, at least I can still fight back in this second!
Then the Heroic Spirit-Breaking Knife chopped at the endless arms. The blade was weak and unresponsive, as if the thing being cut was just air. However, the muscles in Wu Xianxiao's arms bulged, and blue veins emerged. At the same time, the skin on his arms began to crack, and even the capillaries in his body began to crack, and his muscles were broken in many places.

But at the same time, all the limbs extending from the pale, rotten sphere were shattered and turned into ash. A feedback force that was not a material force was transmitted from the Heroic Spirit Crushing Blade to the dark void space, and then spread from this point to the huge sphere. This force was so powerful that it was incredible, and even the endless sound fluctuations on the sphere were completely suppressed...

"Title, Lord Kui."

"When you fight with any being that is ten times larger than you, every thirty seconds, the strength contest with it will succeed once (this is a limit-breaking attribute, second to highest priority), and this strength contest will inevitably result in a crushing effect. The crushing effect is a QTE special effect such as tearing, decomposing, breaking, and executing. Different results will be produced depending on the strength of the enemy and us."

Strength... can be either material strength or other strength...

After the knife was slashed out, Wu Xianxiao suddenly had such an epiphany in his mind, and then the next moment, his eyes went dark, and the whole person staggered forward. He barely used the Heroic Spirit Breaker Knife to stop, but he still almost fainted.

At this moment, Wu Xianxiao only felt a shock in the space of his sea of ​​consciousness. The surging negativity turned into a tsunami and washed over, and then was blocked by a giant tiger. Every time the tsunami rolled over it, part of its body was dissolved. The huge pain made the giant tiger roar constantly, but it was firmly suppressed between the sea of ​​consciousness and the negativity and could not move.

When the two sleepless lights returned to the sea of ​​consciousness, the violent shock gradually subsided. However, there were still some cracks on the edge of the sea of ​​consciousness. It was all thanks to the illumination of the sleepless lights that there were signs of slow healing. However, at this healing speed, it would probably take ten days or half a month to heal completely.

It was just one strike, and the recoil force of only a part of some huge force, which almost completely destroyed his sea of ​​consciousness.

At this time, Jiujiu and Daphne ran to Wu Xianxiao at the same time, and the two women supported him at the same time. However, they didn't know what to do next. They could only watch Wu Xianxiao fighting with his eyes closed, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

"Daphne, that!" Jiujiu suddenly yelled at Daphne.

Daphne was stunned for a moment, then immediately came to her senses. She let go of Wu Xianxiao and stepped back a few steps. Then, a silver light flashed on her body, and the next moment she turned into an upright and elegant silver giant wolf, more than four meters tall and six meters long, with silver-white hair all over her body. Strands of silver burst out from her body, and at the same time, a faint full moon appeared on its body. As soon as the silver light appeared, Jiujiu and Wu Xianxiao immediately felt peace and tranquility.

Wu Xianxiao, in particular, felt a chill seeping into his sea of ​​consciousness, which turned into a silver liquid and seeped into the cracks in his sea of ​​consciousness. In just a moment, the cracks were blocked. Although they had not yet healed completely, the vibrations in his sea of ​​consciousness had finally stopped.

It was not until then that Wu Xianxiao finally opened his eyes. His eyeballs were bloodshot. At this time, Daphne also recovered from the state of a giant wolf and turned into a little girl, lying on the ground gasping for breath.

"Thank you for your hard work." Wu Xianxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said to Daphne, then he sat down on the ground. Jiujiu picked up Daphne first and sat beside Wu Xianxiao, then asked with concern: "What happened just now? Were you attacked by something?"

Wu Xianxiao shook his head slightly, but did not elaborate.

The pale limbs just now were not visible to outsiders, and only he who read the diary could see it.

Alchemical curse.

This is the name of the pale limb just now.

When he touched the pale limb, he naturally obtained some information, and there was a description of this on the papers he had just read.

"All those who learn alchemy will be infected with a disease called the alchemical curse as their alchemy skills improve. The symptoms of this disease are that they suddenly become terrified, as if they were attacked by an invisible enemy, but they will regain their composure after a moment. At the same time, their alchemical aptitude will be greatly improved. In some cases, they will even gain new alchemical formulas and new knowledge out of thin air, so this is also called the alchemical blessing."

"However, people who have experienced the alchemical curse many times will gradually become colder in character, and their personality expressions will also show characteristics such as world-weariness and life-weariness. They will often develop extremely severe depression and even commit suicide."

"The principles and treatment mechanisms of the alchemical curse are still unclear."

"In order to deal with the 'Giant of the End', the Alchemy Supreme Council decided to conduct a variety of experiments. The method used by this experimental base is to apply the alchemical curse on a large scale, and obtain more unknown alchemical formulas and alchemical knowledge from a large number of experimental examples. It is hoped that a truth-level alchemical formula or alchemical knowledge of ascension can be found from them."

“Everything for the future!”

This is the information on the papers that Wu Xianxiao had seen before.

The laboratory represented by this tomb is a fragment of civilization history in the Castlevania dream world at some unknown point in the past. At this point in time, the highest supernatural power of human civilization was alchemy. At the same time, this supernatural era was also facing the threat of the Doomsday Titan. In order to fight against the Doomsday, the alchemical civilization launched various targeted experiments, and the experimental method of this laboratory was artificial, large-scale activation of the alchemical curse.

The truth behind the so-called alchemical curse is actually the opening of the so-called door to truth...

It was the thing just now. The moment Wu Xianxiao confronted it, he saw its truth clearly. It was not something from this dream world, but a root-level terror from a deeper dream world.

When the alchemical curse occurs, the root-level terror will interact with it. The pale arms will directly tear apart part of the cursed person's soul, and then the alchemical knowledge will be filled into the broken soul.

The torn part of the soul will become the trophy of the pale arm, and then be brought back to the sphere and become a part of it.

Neither birth nor death, never reincarnation...

This is the true truth of the alchemical curse!

So…what was the truth behind this alchemical curse, the root terror from the deeper dream world, and how did it relate to the alchemical civilization he had acquired over the weekend?

"Important information discovered, judging...judgment completed."

"First-class citizen Wu Xianxiao has found the remains of the lost civilization 'Alchemy Civilization'. Is he actively watching it to help the main brain learn the final outcome of the lost civilization?"

"Confirm that you are being watched, and you will be rewarded with the next level of Human Immortal Martial Arts."

"No reward for refusing to be looked at."

At this time, the voice of the master brain sounded in Wu Xianxiao's ears again.

This made him widen his eyes and his face became confused.
