Eternal Night

Chapter 589 They're waiting for my victory!
Wu Pifu unleashed a slash with a thunderous sound, but it was not unusual in any other way. Its speed and power were astonishing. In a flash, Wu Pifu had already severed the Dark Emperor's head.

However, after the decapitation, Wu Pifu did not lower his guard at all. Instead, he immediately turned around to defend himself. Two black giant swords slashed at him from the left and right sides at the same time. Moreover, the power of these two swords was enormous, and their speed and strength were about twice as high as before. In addition, the angles were tricky. The slashes and angles of the two heavy swords were undoubtedly the work of martial arts masters, or even grandmasters.

However, even with doubled speed and power, it was still not enough compared to Wu Pifu's current strength. So when the two swords came, Wu Pifu simply turned around to block and parry, and the two heavy swords were shattered into pieces by the Heroic Spirit Shattering Blade. However, the wielder of the heavy swords was a martial arts grandmaster. Even though the two swords were broken, the fragments of the heavy swords still exploded and shot into Wu Pifu's body. Wu Pifu's own martial arts skills were at the grandmaster level, and when he collided with the two heavy swords, he still changed the angle of the shattered fragments.

Almost all the fragments were blocked by its exoskeleton armor, while a small number only scratched the exoskeleton armor without even damaging the skin.

The Dark Emperor uttered a hazy, inhuman voice, yet Wu Pi could understand it perfectly: "What an excellent vessel! The chosen one of this world's destiny, capable of bearing far more of my true power than those four useless pieces of trash... It's a pity that a part of his essence would rather self-destruct than be corrupted by me, otherwise it wouldn't have been eleven times, but thirteen..."

Wu Pifu raised his knife, said nothing, and charged forward with two swift strokes. With two more swift strokes, two large heads fell to the ground.

But the next moment, three heavy swords slashed at his head, chest, and abdomen from three different angles. His old strength was gone and new strength had not yet been generated. Wu Pifu could only parry with his sword. Three loud bangs rang out. The three heavy swords were about three times stronger than the original ones. He was blasted more than 110 meters away and crashed into an invisible but tangible force field.

Three Dark Emperors stood in three directions, their expressions identical, wielding dark heavy swords, and simultaneously uttering words in the same bizarre voices—words incomprehensible to mortals but understandable to Wu Pifu: "What powerful seeds of the ultimate path! It's a pity you're not even an Ascended Body, you don't even possess your own perfection. What do you have to fight me with? You dare to dream of breaking through the absolute barrier that spans two ranks? Don't be so arrogant, mortal!"

Wu Pifu remained silent, simply drawing his sword and charging forward... At this moment, with all his martial arts, immortal martial arts, and immortal internal energy activated, coupled with his enhanced armor and magical girl skin, he was only using three times his initial power...

Three scratches appeared on his body, just breaking through his skin. Wu Pifu then chopped off three more heads. Sure enough, four Dark Emperors appeared. This time, even though he blocked all four swords, he was still slightly injured.

Then, in another clash, the martial arts grandmaster's skills, strength, and speed still far surpassed Wu Pifu's. At the cost of four minor wounds on his body, Wu Pifu once again severed four heads.

This time, it's five Dark Emperors...

"...What terrifying potential! The seed of the ultimate path, once it becomes an ascended body, can also be called an ultimate ascended body, an ultimate expert...that is a terrifying power that can sever the root of existence."

Six Dark Emperors...

"Speaking of which, do you know why I didn't choose the Star Gods? They are actually the natural gods of this world, occupying a huge portion of it. It's not that they are absolutely impossible to corrupt, but the cost of corruption is extremely high. At the same time, although the natural gods are powerful, their potential is poor, very poor. On the contrary, they are extremely rare chosen ones of a great world, naturally possessing the true share of this great world. Not only can they traverse multiple worlds, but they can also learn at least two extraordinary paths at the same time. They are like smaller versions..."

"Through mountains and seas, none can withstand my might! The ultimate technique of the Three-Sword Style!!"

Seven Dark Emperors...

"...You only have a broken sword, so why is your technique called the Three-Sword Style Secret Technique? Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore. Did you notice? Even if it's just a fragment of my mortal essence, it has already driven you to the brink of despair. Now my strength and speed are only a hair's breadth behind yours, and I now have seven bodies. What do you have to fight me with? Weren't we just talking about Star Gods? The innate gods of this world are the main force against origins like mine, so I used some tricks, such as having the Fearful Ones use cold metal to manifest and take form, and then letting the life forms of this world judge them, hahaha..."

"Now is the time to uphold the Way of the Ninja! Night Guy!!!"

Eight Dark Emperors...

"...A pawn of the Otsutsuki Ancestor? No, that's not right. You don't have any chakra, and the Otsutsuki Ancestor is a waste, weaker than me. It's impossible for him to corrupt the Extreme Seed of the True Era... Fine, now that I can kill you, then..."

"THE WORLD! Time, stand still!"

"Super Brain World!"

Nine Dark Emperors...

"...Was that your race's unique extraordinary path just now? It can even manipulate time! What a terrifying extraordinary path! But it's alright. I can now overcome the isolation of the real world you created and draw upon the power of my true self. Mere time..."

"You mongrel, who gave you permission to look me in the eye?"

"Super Brain World!"

Ten Dark Emperors...

"...No! You're not manipulating time!! The spacetime coefficients in this dimensional space haven't changed at all. You're not changing time, you're changing your own dimension! You've just increased your dimension by half a dimension!? Decree, Dimensional Stretch!!"

"Super Brain World!"

"Super Brain World!"

"Super Brain World!!"

Eleven Dark Emperors...

Wu Pifu was covered in wounds, his bio-armor was mostly broken, and his magical girl outfit, skirt, and stockings were also mostly torn. If it weren't for the fact that the person wearing it was a two-meter-tall muscular man, it would definitely be a scene of clothes being torn apart if it were the original version.

Before Wu Pifu, eleven raging black flames transformed into human forms, each possessing eleven times the power of the original, and each dark human form was enough to rival Wu Pifu in his current state.

The Dark Emperor could no longer maintain his human form and had taken on a half-human, half-dark primordial form, but the power within him was real and undeniable, consisting of eleven terrifying martial arts masters who were now comparable to Wu Pifu.

Even more terrifying is that, for some unknown reason, Wu Pifu's Super Brain World consumption has increased dramatically. The time for each use has been shortened by more than half, while the consumption has increased several times. After using Super Brain World three times in a row, Wu Pifu's brain is now buzzing, blood is gushing from his mouth, ears, nose and eyes, and his head is so dizzy that he can only kneel with his sword on his back.

"...Such terrifying power and potential, no wonder he is a seed of the ultimate path."

Eleven dark humanoids stepped forward, swords raised. Their forms were distorted, and the dark heavy swords in their hands were twisted into a mass of dark essence.

In its darkness, Wu Pifu saw the destruction of the universe, the decay of all things, and the end of fate. It was darkness, destruction, the wailing of the souls of all things, and a terrifying abyss of darkness.

Eleven dark humanoid figures approached Wu Pifu and raised their heavy swords.

"What do you have left? A mortal! While you deserve praise, you've procrastinated for far too long, now..."

"Now!"

Wu Pifu grinned menacingly, blood flowing all over his body. Then he closed his eyes, then opened them again. "Eighty percent of my mind is experiencing a negative backlash!"

The eleven dark humanoid figures swayed simultaneously, their forms twisting further.

"No, what is this? You're not human, what are you...?"

"Ninety percent of my emotions are negatively impacted!"

The dark humanoid has further mutated, completely transforming from a hazy humanoid into a dark and twisted mass. Its voice has also changed from being recognizable to being an indescribable sound that is completely unrecognizable.

"...You are also part of this force, aren't you?"

Wu Pifu opened his mouth, revealing his mutated teeth. He looked into the darkness and said, "From the first time I came into contact with the subspace, I felt extremely familiar with it. Then, when I realized that my negative consciousness could isolate the subspace, I had already gained some understanding. And then, with your determination to possess me, and your four different facets simultaneously displaying their fanaticism towards me, I finally confirmed one thing..."

"The subspace is your sea of ​​consciousness, right? You also grew stronger by exploiting the negative backflow of your mind? Or rather, the extraordinary path of your civilization is about developing the negative backflow of the mind, isn't it?"

"Now... come, devour me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Pifu's body began to boil.

"Negative psychological backlash rate... 100%!"

In an instant, as if breaking through a certain critical point, a vast and surging, endless negativity surged out from Wu Pifu's sea of ​​consciousness, and it poured out from his sea of ​​consciousness, from his body surface, and from his entire body. In just an instant, it completely drove away and isolated the eleven dark masses in front of him, and the eleven layers of other-dimensional space that shrouded this place also exploded.

"The Dragon and Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture".

"It has the effect of suppressing and transforming the negative aspects of the sea of ​​consciousness, and anchoring one's own cognitive existence. The deeper one's cultivation, the more complete the techniques become. It can transform the negative aspects of the sea of ​​consciousness into a perfect domain of the eighteen levels of hell, which can be used to advance and sublimate the body. It can greatly reduce the impact of the negative backflow of the sea of ​​consciousness on oneself, and greatly enhance the rate of negative backflow of the mind. For every 10% of completeness reached, it can withstand up to 100% more negative backflow of the mind, reaching a maximum of 1,000% negative backflow rate."

"Completeness: 3%, the initial threshold, the highest possible rate of negative psychological backlash: 130%!"

At this moment, the whole world began to mutate in Wu Pifu's eyes, filled with terrifying colors, twisted lines, and filthy things like mud or rotten flesh.

A mass of flesh and blood suddenly sprang up and crashed toward the center of the palace. This mass of flesh and blood was sometimes humanoid, sometimes grotesque, and sometimes indescribable. Moreover, as time went on, this mass of flesh and blood became more and more bizarre and strange, and gradually began to lose its humanoid form.

"...You...cannot...be one with me..."

The Lord of Darkness was not killed. Wu Pifu only used the 100% negative backflow rate of the mind to temporarily isolate him. However, the eerie voice still followed him like a shadow. As soon as he was out of the 100% negative backflow rate state, the eleven Lords of Darkness would immediately descend.

However, Wu Pifu only saw the gold before him. In his senses, everything in the world began to mutate into something terrifying and bizarre. But in this state, he actually saw humans, humans who had not undergone any mutation.

Katherine stood smiling in a decaying corridor. Her eyes were intact, and she wore a dress instead of the inquisitor's robes made of a dozen or so weapons. She pointed in one direction.

Wu Pifu moved forward in silence. Ahead, by a filthy river, he saw Anris Gus, who was wearing a casual robe and pointing in a direction with a relaxed smile.

Ahead, Wu Pifu saw Tachiron, Eleanor, Daficchi, Evelyn Uslan, Castor…

Although it was brief and his interactions were limited, after arriving in this dream world, it seemed as if everyone he knew and didn't know appeared here. They were no longer in their previous combat-armed state, but were dressed in skirts, casual clothes, or business attire; some were police officers, some were doctors, some were workers, some were teachers, some were athletes, or some were simply bakers...

In this alienated world, they maintained their human form and pointed out the path ahead for Wu Pifu. After traversing countless mazes and corridors, he finally pushed open a door made of countless maggots. Behind the door, golden light shone, and a crying boy surrounded by countless instruments of torture appeared before him.

The crying boy was covered in wounds, and these instruments of torture were being applied to him automatically.

With tears in his eyes, the boy asked Wu Pifu, "...What made you want to be a human being?"

Wu Pifu didn't know how to make a sound, but the words burst forth from the depths of his heart: "Because they are watching me, waiting for me..."

The boy, tears streaming down his face, asked, "What are you waiting for me to do?"

"...Just wait for my victory!"

A perfectly intact human hand emerged from the rotting, mutated flesh and pulled it onto the weeping boy. As it ripped him from the torture instruments, all the instruments automatically hung onto the rotting flesh.

"You should already know what I want to do, and the fact that you let me come here clearly means you've agreed, right?"

"Then the agreement is established. I... will sit on this golden throne! You go and open the battlefield leading to the warp!"

With a forceful throw, the hand propelled the weeping boy far into the void, while at the same time, a sound emanated from the rotting flesh.

"Mastermind, initiate the penetration of the containment facility's dream world coordinates, and the personnel... Emperor, take all the points you want!"

"Judging...judging...judging complete. Citizen Wu Pifu, live on."

Everyone in the solar system, whether traitors, loyalists, or aliens, simultaneously witnessed an incredibly awe-inspiring spectacle.

A blazing sun rose from the Earth's palace, piercing through layers of darkness, soaring straight into the heavens from the bottomless abyss of darkness, and then vanishing without a trace.

And that darkness...

Suppressed by something more terrifying, deeper, larger, unimaginable, indescribable, and beyond description!
