Eternal Night

Chapter 549 Shattering the Vacuum!

Internal force...

The combination of the Human Immortal Martial Arts truly brought about a qualitative change!!

Although he had only mastered internal energy for a short time and this was the first time he had used it, as an indestructible being who could see gods, he had a control over his own body, strength, and consciousness that far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine. Once he used it, he almost immediately knew the effect of the internal energy.

The effects of internal energy are divided into two types. One is to comprehensively enhance the physical body and spirit. The enhancement of the physical body is proportional. As for whether it is a linear proportion or a proportion with some kind of attenuation coefficient, Wu Pifu does not know yet. However, his liquid internal energy, which is about thirty years old, has enhanced his physical body by about seven times. This includes a comprehensive increase in a series of abilities such as speed, strength, endurance, toughness, flexibility, explosiveness, nerve reflex speed, dynamic vision, etc.

This is a terrifying, even unbelievable, thing.

The stronger Wu Pifu became, the more he understood that everything has its limits, including his own growth. In the early stages of his cultivation of Chinese martial arts and the Human Immortal Martial Arts, his physical abilities improved very rapidly, often by several times. However, once he reached the bottleneck or limit of Chinese martial arts and the Human Immortal Martial Arts, his strength improvement suddenly slowed down.

And this internal energy, he's clearly only just begun, yet it's increased sevenfold in all aspects!?

At the same time, the internal energy not only improved the overall strength of the physical body, but also made the mind and consciousness feel clear and bright. It was easier to concentrate, the thinking speed was faster, the reaction speed was faster, and even the five senses and the sixth sense were enhanced simultaneously. Although he had not tested it yet, Wu Pifu intuitively knew that his resistance to pollution had also been enhanced.

At the same time, internal energy has a second function, which is to directly circulate it outside the body, forming a powerful energy release. The invisible qi wall is just the most basic application of qi, which is a passive defensive means. However, if it is used actively, Wu Pifu can create a super strong defensive means similar to an energy shield. If it is applied to fists, feet or weapons, it can form an effect similar to lasers or energy cutting weapons.

The strength of the second effect is still unknown, but judging from visual observation, its strength is proportional to the amount of Wu Pifu's internal energy and the strength of his physical qualities. The stronger he is, the stronger the attack and defense effects when he releases his internal energy.

As a result, his strength indeed underwent a tremendous qualitative change after obtaining the Immortal Martial Arts.

Traditional Chinese martial arts provide control, the Immortal Martial Arts provide the basic strength stat, and internal energy provides a multiplier!

This is practically a simplified version of the Yakuza seed template!

So it's no wonder that the Zhenwu and Xinghe lineages couldn't resist the temptation back then. Even knowing that there might be hidden dangers in this Immortal Martial Arts, almost all of their extraordinary individuals began to cultivate it. Moreover, they innovated and improved upon this Immortal Martial Arts. According to the known information, the Zhenwu and Xinghe lineages had developed the Immortal Martial Arts to a level no less powerful than the Zhenwu and Xinghe lineages themselves.

With such superimposed intensity, it's no wonder that Zhenwu and Xinghe were said to be able to reenact the events of the Heavenly Court back then, and almost all the extraordinary beings were simplified versions of the Extreme Path Seeds!
Chinese martial arts, Immortal Martial Arts, and Internal Energy—each one is not particularly remarkable on its own. Chinese martial arts, while possessing powerful control, is powerless against extraordinary enemies whose physical abilities far surpass those of the human immortals. While Immortal Martial Arts can provide a superhuman physical body, it is still limited by the mortal body unless one cultivates it to the highest level. Internal Energy, while providing a multiplier, has its limits in terms of physical strength for ordinary people, and lifespan cannot accumulate over hundreds or thousands of years. Unless one is exceptionally gifted, it is not considered a truly powerful or extraordinary individual.

What's truly terrifying is the superposition of these three factors, which immediately results in a super qualitative change, like a nuclear reaction!

Most importantly, Wu Pifu is a standard seed of the ultimate path. In addition to Chinese martial arts, human immortal martial arts, and immortal martial arts internal skills, he can cultivate and use all other extraordinary paths, as long as he does not change his bloodline.

"The Flower of Magical Girl's Heart!"

"System activated!"

"Based on the strong desires, emotions, personality, and other factors of the consumer, the magic power of the Heart Flower is transformed into the magical girl's weaponry, the combat strength of the magical girl after transformation, and the possibility of materializing rule-based weapons."

"Should I sign a magical girl contract? Once signed, it's irreversible."

When Wu Pifu used the Flower of Heart, trusting the main brain, he directly confirmed the signing in his mind. The next second, he felt as if his whole body was about to be sucked into the crystal of light, but the feeling was very slight and disappeared in an instant.

"The contract is fulfilled; desire is despair. The greater the desire, the more terrifying the despair that will follow. Absorption begins... begins... begins..."

"Wait, wait a minute..."

The Crystal of Light shattered with a deafening roar. Just then, Wu Pifu put on his work clothes to cover the magical girl's bizarre attire. When he came to his senses, the Crystal of Light had turned into a pure black, sparkling gem, but this gem was covered in cracks.

At the time, Wu Pifu didn't have time to think it through. He simply raised his sword and cleaved the tentacle in two. Only then did he have time to pick up the jet-black, crystal-clear gem and examine it closely.

"Magical Girl's Heart Flower (Original Soul Gem) (Broken)".

"...She wanted to save her world, but the overwhelming malice destroyed everything..."

"...***Results of environmental pollution." "When the holder picks up the Heart Flower and places it on their heart, making a heart shape with their palms, the power of the Heart Flower will be activated, infusing their own consciousness and emotions, entering a magical girl transformation state. Currently, the transformation can last for ten minutes, with a recovery time of one hundred and twenty hours. It can be repaired and sublimated."

Everything else is the same, except that its name now includes the title "Soul Gem," and the original description "too broken to display the following information" has been changed to "the result of environmental contamination."

*** Ring... If the words that are double-shielded are the same set of text, then Wu Pifu is familiar with this. This is the long-term target that the main brain has assigned to him, a lost root to hunt. Once the hunt is successful, he will receive the most generous reward since entering the dream world, which is to customize a title.

Could it be that this magical girl transformation item is also related to the corrupting nature of alchemy?

Forbidden soul alchemy, and the feeling of being absorbed and pulled by his consciousness and even his soul just now?

Wu Pifu shook his head slightly as he carefully sensed the effects of the magical girl's transformation.

After transforming into a magical girl, setting aside the embarrassing decorations, a digital projection appeared on his retina, somewhat like playing a VR game. This projection indicated the enemy and distance, but the intensity and name were displayed as a series of question marks.

Then in the upper left corner there is a red column and a blue column. The number in the red column is 89%, the specific meaning of which is unclear, perhaps it is his health or something. The blue column is a series of question marks, which is also unclear.

However, there are three text boxes below the blue column: Strength Enhancement, Magic Amplification, and Rule Weapon Manifestation.

Wu Pifu focused his attention on the strength enhancement option, and his blue bar began to flicker. However, despite a series of question marks, the blue bar remained unchanged except for the flickering. In just a moment, the strength enhancement was maxed out. When Wu Pifu tried to click again, the entire system framework displayed a red warning, and it felt like it was about to explode along with him.

At this very moment, the Heart Flower, which had transformed into a black, crystalline gem, also burst forth with light, along with the cracks on it. The pitch-black light gave the impression that it was about to explode.

"...Is this the limit?"

Wu Pifu murmured to herself, while simultaneously sensing her physical condition. Surprisingly, on top of the doubled internal energy, her overall physical strength had increased by about 1.5 times. This was also a multiplier effect, and a new multiplier effect that was separate from her internal energy. Although it was only a 1.5-fold multiplier effect at present, with the repair and strengthening, this magical girl transformation was a pretty good way to become extraordinary.

Then Wu Pifu turned his gaze to the second column, "Magic Release." With a thought, the blue column, marked with a question mark, rippled again. Immediately afterward, Wu Pifu inexplicably opened his mouth, and a beam of blue-black light shot out, heading straight for the sky. Initially only the size of his mouth, once it left his side by half a meter, it instantly transformed into a ten-meter-thick pillar of energy. Blue-black and crackling with plasma current, it pierced through the remaining half of the tentacle in the sky, which was healing, and exploded on its surface. Although it didn't penetrate all the way through, it still created a huge crater in the flesh.

"...Long-range attack! Wave attack!"

Wu Pifu's eyes gleamed. He suppressed the urge to fire a few more shots and forced his attention toward the third column, which was the manifestation of rule-based weapons.

This time, the blue column started flashing violently, but the question mark above it remained motionless, and the entire blue column remained completely blue, without decreasing in size at all.

Suddenly, Wu Pifu raised the Broken Spirit Blade in his hand, and a blue-black light emanated from his palm, enveloping the entire Broken Spirit Blade. Gradually, the Broken Spirit Blade seemed to dissolve into the blue-black light, merging with it. In the blink of an eye, a weapon about ten meters long, with a straight blade, resembling a giant Tang sword, appeared in Wu Pifu's hand.

"Judgment in progress... Judgment complete. Rule materialization weapon, Vacuum Shattering Blade, stable existence time: ten..."

"Ten what?" Wu Pifu asked hurriedly when he heard the mainframe pause.

"Nine, eight, seven..."

“Fuck fuck fuck!!”

Wu Pifu felt that the ten-meter-long sword in his hand was indeed becoming increasingly unstable. Without further hesitation, he circulated his qi and blood, propelled his blood energy, channeled his internal force, and released his demonic power...

Then he held up the newly forged Vacuum Blade and aimed it at the wormhole.

At that location, tentacles, amorphous fog, and countless golden orbs of light were all mixed together, attempting to squeeze in more essence from behind the wormhole!

Leap, slash!

Go ahead!
