Eternal Night

Chapter 535 Flaws and the Half-Lion Knight

After eating and drinking his fill, Wu Pifu even took a bath and then slept for a few hours. Right here in the palace he had destroyed, right here in the country where the king, a large number of high-ranking nobles, and a large number of powerful ministers had been slaughtered by him, and right here in the country and the Five Gods Church where a general mobilization had begun, he was so calm and collected.

It must be said that this composure gave Huang Rong a great psychological boost. She was in the stage of exploring and evaluating the world, which was the time when she was most insecure. All her past reliance was no longer a reliable support. Whether it was her martial arts skills, knowledge, or background, none of it mattered.

In the original world, the reason she dared to travel the world alone was twofold: firstly, she was indeed intelligent and clever; secondly, it was because of her father, Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic. As one of the Five Greats of that world, he was able to easily resolve any trouble she might cause. Even if she offended the other Five Greats, they would not bother with her, a junior.

But this world is different. Her father, one of only five in the world, can't come. Her martial arts skills are worthless in this world. Moreover, due to the generation gap and cultural differences, her intelligence is almost useless in this world.

Fortunately, she had Wu Pifu's protection, and fortunately, Wu Pifu's invincible and leisurely demeanor greatly reduced Huang Rong's fear and anxiety about this world. For example, while Wu Pifu was sleeping, Huang Rong would leisurely lie on a recliner, eating melons and fruits while asking the two selected ministers about various things in this world.

"...A steam engine? Steam can power massive objects?"

"...The Industrial Revolution? Mass production of cheap industrial products?"

"...colonies? Dumping of industrial products?"

Huang Rong seemed to have been opened up to a new world, and she eagerly absorbed all kinds of knowledge from this world.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Pifu woke up and went to Huang Rong's inquiry point, where she was asking about the Five Gods Church.

Upon seeing Wu Pifu, Huang Rong waved to the two ministers, who, as if granted a pardon, immediately bowed their heads and left without daring to delay.

Wu Pifu ignored the two non-humans and said to Huang Rong, "Don't listen to what they say. These things are outdated theories and knowledge that will pollute your worldview. If you want to know more, wait until I take you back to my world. The civilization there is ten thousand times more advanced. You can go and learn there then."

Huang Rong smiled sweetly and sat up from the recliner, saying, "Brother Ant, I've been thinking about the power system you mentioned to me before, and I feel like you haven't really brought out your true strengths."

Wu Pifu found a chair and sat down, full of anticipation.

This is none other than the charming Huang Rong, the most famous female strategist in Jin Yong's novels, a female Zhuge Liang.

Although he also had Beelzebub, Beelzebub's personality was somewhat goofy, and he was also an amnesiac. He would occasionally release information like squeezing toothpaste, which was really unreliable. Moreover, the most important thing was that Beelzebub used to be a powerful being in the Root, and his path to transcendence was already fixed, so he had almost no value in making suggestions for the construction of his transcendent system.

On the contrary, people like Huang Rong, who can see things clearly from the sidelines, can find the flaws in his extraordinary system of path construction.

Wu Pifu then asked, "For example? Come on, tell me properly."

Huang Rong laughed, her voice clear and pleasant: "The entire world is so wonderful, far beyond the power of martial arts. Various powers emerge endlessly, the physical body, spiritual rituals, and the true spirit of the soul, the three major categories, each divided into yin and yang. Brother Ant has actually been caught in a big misconception, which is that you need a complete cultivation method, obtained from the main brain, from your companions, or a further extension of your existing core cultivation method. In fact, this has delayed Brother Ant's greatest advantage."

“The biggest advantage…” Wu Pifu fell into deep thought.

“Yes!” Huang Rong’s eyes lit up. She immediately said, “The Extreme Path Seed, only you, Brother Ant, can learn all the extraordinary systems without limit. So why do we have to pursue ‘suitable’? As long as there are no major side effects, or the side effects are not a problem for you, Brother Ant, then you can learn them all. This is what you meant by ‘adding on top of each other’ before. For example, in our current world, can’t we learn the extraordinary system of magic potions?”

Wu Pifu was overjoyed as he listened, and after a while he laughed heartily and nodded repeatedly to Huang Rong.

This is indeed a misconception, or rather, even though he knew he was a potential yakuza seed, he still didn't realize it.

He doesn't need the main brain to give him extraordinary skills. He can learn the extraordinary system of any dream world as long as the side effects are not too great or he can bear them. Then he can learn the extraordinary system, even if it only adds a little bit of bonus to himself.

Whether it's addition or multiplication, as long as it's stacked up without limit, it's invincible!
In fact, it was evident from the battles in the Lost Lands that he hadn't even cultivated the Blood Exchange Technique or the Sexual Cultivation Technique of the Human Immortal Martial Arts. Yet, he was able to crush so-called Martial Saints. To put it bluntly, if he were to unleash his full power, killing a Martial Saint would be as easy as killing a chicken.

Could it be that he has a special talent?

No, it's just because he stacked up enough boxes!
The martial arts increase his control, the immortal martial arts increase his physique, and then there's the Iron Refining Record, the domineering aura, plus special effects and the multiplied title attributes, which has made him have monstrous strength now.

What if one possessed dozens or hundreds of different extraordinary abilities?
"...Yeah, yeah, extraordinary pathways like potions, extraordinary pathways like alchemy, or any other miscellaneous extraordinary pathways, like Saiyan transformations, Ultraman transformations, magical girl transformations... Forget about the last one. Anyway, why should I pursue reaching the pinnacle of any extraordinary pathway? Wouldn't it be stronger to stack more boxes?"

Huang Rong's words were like a wake-up call for Wu Pifu. He laughed and stood up immediately, saying, "Alright, let's go now. Let's go straight to the Church of War, kill the war demon first, and then search for information on the extraordinary magical potions that the Church of War possesses!"

Huang Rong rolled her eyes; she felt Wu Pifu was being a bit too extreme.

However, there was nothing more to say at this point. After a hearty meal and a good nap, Wu Pifu had fully recovered his energy and spirit. He then took the three small animals and the Golden Tree with him. The four of them were still unconscious, but their vital signs were stable, so there was nothing seriously wrong. He then grabbed Huang Rong, who was constantly resisting and pushing him, and leaped into the air, heading towards the location of the Church of War.

As soon as Wu Pifu made a move, the crowd in the palace scattered and fled. They had been terrified and wanted to escape, but they dared not offend Wu Pifu. At this moment, they had no more scruples.

The crowd outside the palace was immediately in an uproar. Various factions, nobles, officials, superhumans, and the military... Upon receiving the news that Wu Pifu had taken to the sky, these people immediately reported back to their respective factions, and these factions immediately began to take action.

Run away, hide, conceal yourself...

if not?
Are we going to send them to fight a being that can tear apart a Sequence 3 demigod with its bare hands?

Do not make jokes!
The demigods who exist in Sequence Three are terrifying beings who can fight against an army and break through a city by themselves. They are known as natural disasters and the strongest land gods in the mortal world. But what is it that can tear apart a demigod?
The entire capital of the Sain Kingdom was eerily quiet, as if the destruction of the palace and the killing of the king did not exist. Wu Pifu flew all the way here and saw neither an army gathering nor any superhumans attacking. None of the things he had expected happened. He arrived at the location of the Church of War in an extremely uneventful manner.

The Church of War occupies a vast area. In addition to the cathedral that serves as the temple, there is also a huge parade ground for soldiers outside the church. When Wu Pifu and Huang Rong arrived outside the church, there were already hundreds of extraordinary individuals waiting respectfully.

As Wu Pifu descended from the sky, the hundreds of superhumans dressed in church attire all bowed their heads respectfully, not daring to even glance at him.

"Aren't you going to come up and fight?" Wu Pifu looked at the hundreds of superhumans with a strange expression. He could sense from his senses that there were six Sequence 4 superhumans among them, and the rest were mostly around Sequence 6 or 7.

The six Sequence 4 transcendents standing at the front all said in unison, "We dare not face the true god directly."

Wu Pifu didn't take it to heart. He simply walked past them and headed into the church, leaving the hundreds of extraordinary individuals standing quietly outside. This was both a welcome to Wu Pifu and a way to prevent any outsiders from getting close.

After a long while, whispers began to circulate among the group of hundreds of extraordinary individuals.

"...Can my lord be victorious?"

"Of course! Our lord is the master of war!"

"...But you all sensed it too, didn't you, that he..."

"...But it's the universe!"

Meanwhile, Wu Pifu entered the church and suddenly muttered, "This is interesting."

Confused, Huang Rong struggled and asked, "What's interesting? Let me go right now, Junior Brother!!"

Wu Pifu put Huang Rong down and walked ahead, saying as he went, "They are spying on me, but their extraordinary system's spying is not on my physical body or my extraordinary power, but on my spirit and consciousness, on the inside of my sea of ​​consciousness. That's why I said it's interesting."

Huang Rong was still confused, but now that she was free, she immediately straightened her clothes and followed Wu Pifu into the church.

The two hadn't walked far when they saw a giant completely covered in a cloak, at least four meters tall. As soon as they saw the giant, Wu Pifu gave Huang Rong the three small animals and the golden tree.

Huang Rong instinctively took the small animal and the golden tree, and quickly asked, "Is this the war?"

“No.” Wu Pifu shook his head and said, “It should be the angel of war, here to guide me to see war. But… don’t look at it. Also, once I leave, you must immediately activate the interdimensional space, understand?”

Hearing Wu Pifu speak so seriously, Huang Rong also became solemn and nodded repeatedly.

Wu Pifu walked towards the cloaked giant. The giant bowed slightly, revealing part of its body under the cloak. Wu Pifu immediately moved to block Huang Rong's view and said to the giant, "What are you waiting for? Lead the way."

The giant remained still, bowing. Huang Rong, standing behind Wu Pifu, sensed his curiosity. She noticed that Wu Pifu was blocking her view, but lacking any concept of the extraordinary, she couldn't resist her curiosity and peeked out from the side. However, as soon as she peeked, Wu Pifu moved his body again, blocking her view firmly. After several such attempts, Huang Rong immediately said with dissatisfaction, "Junior Brother, let me see!"

Without turning his head, Wu Pifu said, "Stop fooling around, this thing is not to be looked at!"

"What do you mean?" Huang Rong asked again, even reaching out to pry open Wu Pifu's body.

But Wu Pifu remained standing still, his slightest movement blocking Huang Rong's darting head. At the same time, he said to the giant in front of him with murderous intent, "You want to start a war right here, huh? Fine, you can forget about this church, I'll raze the whole city to the ground!"

The giant then slowly got up and walked deeper into the church.

Wu Pifu turned and patted Huang Rong's head, saying to her, "Things in the extraordinary realm are not to be seen casually. Just seeing, knowing, or understanding some things can cause you big problems. Your strength is still too weak to see these things."

Huang Rong pouted and made a few soft noises, pretending to be angry, but she didn't go any further to look ahead. She simply sat down where she was.

Seeing Huang Rong like this, Wu Pifu breathed a sigh of relief, took a step forward and followed behind the giant, continuing to walk deeper into the church.

This giant... should be a Sequence Two angel. From the answers he received from the king, nobles, ministers, and extraordinary beings, the highest level of power in this world that can remain in the material world is a Sequence Three demigod. Sequence Two angels can no longer exist in the material world for long. He didn't understand this at the time, but now he does. The so-called angels... are not individuals of the angel civilization, but rather a condensation of some kind of spiritual consciousness.

What's under that cloak isn't a physical body or a monster at all, but rather a strange and ever-changing spiritual consciousness!

As the giant walked deeper into the church, the road seemed to stretch endlessly forward. At the same time, an incredibly thick fog appeared around both the giant and Wu Pifu. The two had already walked at least ten kilometers, which far exceeded the size of the church itself, yet the road continued to extend forward.

At this moment, Wu Pifu stopped and chuckled, "No, you want to play this game with me? Don't you know? I'm a super strong person at the level of mental consciousness."

"Yeah. I know."

A magnificent and resounding voice emerged from the depths of the mist. Then, the mist gradually dispersed, and right in front of Wu Pifu, a knight ten meters tall appeared, riding a lion that was also ten meters tall.

“Anyone with a potion pathway of Sequence Seven or higher can easily sense your special… your vast, universe-like sea of ​​consciousness is simply incredible,” the knight said.

Wu Pifu looked at the knight, then glanced around. The Sequence 2 angel had vanished. At the same time, the surrounding fog began to writhe, like insects or some kind of life.

"Wait a mininute."

Wu Pifu suddenly reached out and said this, which made the knight, who was about to continue speaking, choke. Before he could recover, Wu Pifu suddenly flashed and seemed to transform into an unimaginably terrifying maw, so large that it could swallow the entire universe. In just a flash, he went limp, and when he looked again, the war lion formed from his divine essence was only half left. The other half could no longer take shape and was slowly dissipating.

At the same time, Wu Pifu, who had manifested as terror, reverted to his original form. He seemed to burp before saying, "Alright, let's continue. What did you want to say?"

The knight couldn't utter a single word; he rode a half-lion, and it seemed as if sweat was constantly pouring from his divine body.
