Eternal Night

Chapter 504 Full Power Explosion
Wu Pifu stared at the translucent lizardman in front of him, then looked at the golden skeleton that had regained its footing and was walking towards him. Without hesitation, he raised his sword and charged forward as well.

The golden skeleton, wielding a long spear, thrust forward with astonishing speed, accompanied by a thunderous roar. The two were initially tens of meters apart, but in the blink of an eye, the golden skeleton was within five meters of Wu Pifu, the spear aimed straight at his heart.

Wu Pifu slashed diagonally downwards with his single blade, the blade meeting the spear shaft with a thunderous sound. The spear was lowered several inches and its position shifted a few degrees, so that it could only pierce through Wu Pifu's abdomen. Wu Pifu was about to rush forward to perform a single blade breaking the spear.

But at that moment, the three-meter-tall lizardman charged forward at a speed no less than that of the golden skeleton. His hands flashed with semi-transparent weapons: a giant hammer and a giant shield. As Wu Pifu charged forward, the shield blocked his attack, while the hammer slammed down on his head with immense force, its power no less than that of the golden skeleton, or rather…

Both are equal in strength!?
Wu Pifu neither retreated nor dodged, still advancing with his single blade. With a single slash, he easily shattered the large metal shield. At the same time, he extended his single blade forward with one hand, while loosening his other hand into a palm, gently brushing against the giant hammer. The giant hammer immediately turned and smashed into the ground beside him. Simultaneously, Wu Pifu extended his blade, circling around the lizardman's body. The lizardman's body immediately stopped moving, and Wu Pifu took this opportunity to step forward and arrive in front of the golden skeleton. His broken blade flashed, and he unleashed a crescent-shaped slash.

Just then, a series of strong winds came from behind and sides of Wu Pifu. The wind from the side struck the broken blade he had slashed out, while the wind from behind went straight for his vital points on his back.

In the past, Wu Pifu would never have dodged; he would have taken the blow head-on and made sure it landed squarely on his back. But it was different when fighting these Lost Derivatives or Lost Contaminated Beings. He would avoid being hit if possible, as all attacks from the Lost Contaminated Beings had a penetrating effect on him, directly damaging his soul.

He could only lunge forward, almost touching the ground to dodge the gust of wind coming from behind, causing his strike to miss completely.

The golden skeleton swiftly withdrew its spear and slammed it at Wu Pifu's body from the side. The force was immense, almost turning the spear, which was powerful enough to withstand the defense-breaking effect of the "Commoner" title, into an arc. With a crackling sound, Wu Pifu only had time to block with his broken sword, but at the same time, several more whooshing sounds rang out, this time attacking him from all directions.

When there was almost no way to retreat, Wu Pifu remained calm. Instead, he suddenly unleashed his qi and blood energy. As he was being knocked away by the force of a spear, he placed one palm on the ground and, with the added strength of his entire body, delivered a powerful punch to the ground. Instantly, a series of flying sand and stones erupted, blocking dozens of incoming gusts of wind.

With crackling sounds, every gust of wind produced an explosive sound. When the dust settled and Wu Pifu stood up, he saw seven or eight fair-skinned, long-legged, and large-breasted elven women behind the golden skeleton. Each of them was stunningly beautiful, but their eyes were dull and their bodies were semi-transparent, just like the robust lizardman from before.

"...Dragon knights, dragons, lizardmen, elves..."

Wu Pifu murmured something under his breath, and then, as he spoke, figures began to appear continuously from behind the golden skeleton—dwarves, orcs, and human warriors…

From the initial few people, to the later dozens, and the races that appeared were no longer limited to humanoid races, but included various magical beasts, scorpion lions, three-headed chimeras, nine-headed hypoderms, and even liches wearing magic robes, mind flayers with only brains, and elementals of various attributes. Their numbers suddenly soared to several hundred.

Led by the golden skeleton, this was practically an otherworldly army pressing towards Wu Pifu.

"...Then I won't hold back either."

Wu Pifu originally intended to test the power of this title and to see if the golden skeleton had any other powerful moves. Now that the opponent had already unleashed his ultimate move, he naturally no longer needed to suppress it.

In an instant, Wu Pifu's vast blood and qi erupted simultaneously, and a steam rose from his body, shooting straight upwards like a pillar. Even if he just stood there, the blood and qi within his body surged and churned, producing a sound like ocean waves, heavy as mercury flowing through his veins. Even without making any movement, just standing there, the air around his body began to distort, and his entire body became as hot as a furnace.

At the same time, he took a step forward, and the entire island began to tremble. The dense crowd in the distance even felt unsteady and staggered.

Although Wu Pifu has only mastered the Human Immortal Martial Arts to the level of Bone Marrow Refining, he has not yet learned the next level of Blood Exchange Technique, so strictly speaking, he is not yet a Blood Exchange Martial Saint.

However, whether it is physical fitness or the accumulated foundation of the Immortal Martial Arts, he is far stronger than a normal Blood Exchange Martial Saint or Earth Shaking Martial Saint!

Moreover, his internal organ and bone marrow training technique, the Wind and Thunder Howling Technique, is no ordinary skill. When he unleashes his full power, the sound of wind and thunder can be heard between his movements, and lightning can be faintly seen flashing across his body.

That wasn't all. Since he was going to unleash his full power, Wu Pifu naturally wouldn't hold back. Armament Haki began to spread from his arm to the Heroic Spirit Shattering Blade, Observation Haki began to blend with his martial arts intuition, and Conqueror's Haki was unleashed at full power. In an instant, the earth shook violently, and tiny, visible lightning bolts began to appear within a hundred meters of him. The tremors of the entire land intensified, the sea outside the island began to recede, leaving behind a large expanse of seabed, and the mist that shrouded the entire island was actually torn apart. A beam of sunlight shone down from the crack in the sky and enveloped Wu Pifu.

Meanwhile, on a wooden ship off the island, all the androids were anxiously awaiting Wu Pifu's return. But suddenly, the ship began to tilt. All the androids were startled and looked down. Then they witnessed an unbelievable scene: the seawater... was receding, and the ship had landed on the seabed. "No, something's not right!"

A1 suddenly shouted, "It's a tsunami! Quick, Wakaba squad members, join me, use maximum thrust to lift the wooden boat into the sky!!"

Meanwhile, on the battlefield in the center of the island, even those without consciousness, instinctively stopped in their tracks due to the terrifying power unleashed by Wu Pifu.

"Get this straight, Dragon Knight..."

Wu Pifu stopped, but didn't immediately step forward. He looked directly at all the beings in front of him and said, "It's not me challenging you, but... all of you combined challenging me!!"

Just then, a roaring sound came from the ocean beyond the island. From the distant sea, a tsunami wave at least fifty meters high rolled in, sweeping towards Easter Island from all directions like the end of the world. At the same time, a whirlwind like a tornado formed above Wu Pifu's head. The next moment, Wu Pifu took a step forward, and the entire island seemed to sink a little. Then he swung his sword at the hundreds of beings in front of him.

Armament Haki solidified into a tangible form, rendering the entire Broken Heroic Spirit Sword pitch black. At the same time, lightning drawn by Conqueror's Haki surrounded the sword. Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki intertwined, combined with the immense power brought by the Human Immortal Martial Arts, and with a horizontal slash, a huge arc of pitch-black sword light emerged from the broken sword and flashed forward.

The shattered temple was originally located at a slight angle in the center of the island, behind which were increasingly higher mountain-shaped islands. Suddenly, a flash of black light appeared, and all the semi-transparent humanoid figures in front of Wu Pifu shattered. The golden skeleton held its spear in front of it, and was pushed backward by the blade's light. Then, the entire skeleton was swept into the hillside. The blade's light did not stop, cutting through the terrain and pushing the golden skeleton towards the sea.

After unleashing this strike, Wu Pifu didn't stop for a moment. With a stomp of his foot, he completely disappeared from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was nearly 5,000 meters away. He arrived first despite being behind, catching up with the golden skeleton that was still being pushed backward by the blade's light in less than two seconds.

At the same time, the tsunami finally arrived, and the golden skeleton was propelled into the tsunami by the blade's light. By this time, the tsunami had gradually risen to a height of seventy meters, and the enormous force of the waves crashed onto the golden skeleton. Only then did the blade's light gradually dissipate due to the distance. But before the golden skeleton could make any move, Wu Pifu had already flashed above it, grabbed its head with one hand, and unleashed a tremendous force, slamming it hard onto the seabed!

Bang!
Like a missile exploding, or a small meteorite falling, the giant waves of the tsunami were actually blown away, and all the surrounding seawater was thrown up, exposing the seabed once again.

On the seabed, a crater twenty meters deep and at least two hundred meters wide was formed. Wu Pifu landed in the very center of the crater, pressing down on the golden skeleton. The skeleton was covered with dense cracks, but it had to be said that its resistance to impact was terrifying. After this round of attacks, not only was the spear intact, but apart from the cracks, the skeleton was also undamaged.

Then, right before Wu Pifu's eyes, the title of "Savior of the World" among the four titles of the golden skeleton gradually dimmed, changing in the same way as the title of "Gatekeeper".

"So what title should it be now?" Wu Pifu asked.

The golden skeleton naturally couldn't answer, but just then, a giant mouth appeared out of nowhere and lunged at Wu Pifu.

Taking advantage of the situation, Wu Pifu dropped the golden skeleton and dodged to a distance of over a hundred meters. He then saw a massive, solidified, and perfectly preserved silver-white dragon emerge from behind the golden skeleton as the giant mouth appeared.

This dragon was enormous, estimated to be at least 300 meters tall when standing upright. Its entire body was silvery-white, and each scale was like crystal. In particular, the pupils of its dragon eyes shone with divine light. It was a beautiful and terrifying creature whose power was evident just by looking at it.

The golden skeleton knelt on one knee, propped up only by its spear, while the dragon slowly lowered its head, waiting for the golden skeleton to stand up with an incredible tenderness.

Although only skeletons remained, and there were no words or narration, Wu Pifu saw in this scene the resolute determination of a warrior fighting to the death.

Instead of taking the opportunity to attack, he watched as the golden skeleton rose up and then used all his strength to climb to the top of the dragon's head.

The Last Dragon Knight—this title began to shine brightly!
