Eternal Night

Chapter 709 Treasure World
Wu Pifu was very surprised.

This scarred bald man is clearly human, but his flesh and blood are now transforming into some kind of metal gear shape. Gears of various sizes and shapes are forming, and as he transforms into this form, it is quite obvious that his strength is increasing.

Three superimposed zones!

One is the legendary ship below. Even though Baghdad is away from the ship, it seems that as long as he is within a certain distance, he can still obtain the extraordinary bonus of the legendary ship. The second is the three-color Haki, which Wu Pifu also has. It is also a kind of extraordinary system that can enhance physical fitness, attack, defense and speed. The third is the change in his physical body. The black clouds and black flames that appear on his body are more like the external manifestation of some kind of enhanced strength, similar to the essence smoke after he fully unleashes the Human Immortal Martial Dao. This is also a kind of superposition.

In other words, this bald man actually has three superimposed features?

Even a triple addition is terrifying. If it's a triple multiplication, its strength might even reach his current level under normal conditions... Even if it's slightly less, it would still be an opponent of the same level.

This world... is very powerful. It's only a dream world at level 0.7?
Wu Pifu's expression turned serious. Although he still had two superimposed supernatural abilities—the Bio-Armor and the Magical Girl—that he hadn't used in his normal state, the Bio-Armor was an additive superimposed ability, which didn't significantly enhance his strength. It was more of a tool for free movement in a vacuum environment. As for the Magical Girl Heart Flower, although it was a multiplicative superimposed ability, and the multiplicative one was very strong, it was definitely not a supernatural power in his normal state!
It should be attributed more to the forces used in strategic decisive battles!
So... it's probably because this world is too powerful, right?

Wu Pifu brandished his broadsword and slashed at Baghdad, who had jumped up again. The broadsword and the guan dao clashed once more, and a violent shockwave rippled from mid-air into the sea, causing the ocean below to cave in for dozens of miles around.

The people below all changed their expressions drastically, their faces turning deathly pale.

This level of power has surpassed the ceiling of the general level. It is a battle scene between true celestial beings. If they, with their strength of major general and lieutenant general, were to be thrown in, they would probably be killed within a second. Perhaps only the first mate and a few others could unleash their full power to withstand one or two moves.

This clash of attacks created wind pressure that even reached islands hundreds of kilometers away, creating a hurricane in the island's harbor that sent smaller debris flying everywhere, leaving everyone looking at each other in horror.

This is a Celestial Phenomenon-level expert; once they make a move, it's enough to cause a celestial disaster!

Xu Shilan looked at the distant sky. She couldn't see the battlefield, but she could see a straight plume of energy shooting into the sky. This was the state Wu Pifu had shown before, so she knew that Wu Pifu must be there.

"It's amazing!"

Amade remarked from the side, "I didn't expect Brother Wu to have become so powerful. He could probably easily crush this island, right?"

Chirp chirped beside her, and Daphne barked twice. Only Beelzebub could speak human language, so she said smugly, "What's this? It's just a mere island. If he gets serious, he could probably split this entire ocean in two!"

Xu Shilan and Amadei died young and did not witness any greater extraordinary events. However, they were not ignorant. Although they did not witness extraordinary events, they did witness technological events. World War III took place on Earth, but World War IV shattered the entire solar system. They had seen islands, oceans, and even entire planets broken apart.

Of course, that's a technological weapon, which is definitely different from someone wielding a large blade and hacking up an island or the ocean.

Xu Shilan looked at the sky and said, "Looks like we need to step up our game, Amadeus."

Amadeus nodded in agreement: "Definitely. I think we should also try to upgrade and enhance the Goat Egg, so that we can also obtain the Goat Egg's extraordinary stacking. I just don't know if the Goat Egg can be taken out of this dream world."

Xu Shilan was on the verge of tears, but she still rallied her spirits and said, "We can give it a try, but this is still an external thing after all. We still need to be stronger ourselves. My shadow puppetry and your iron-forging record both need to be practiced regularly and try to advance. Although we are not some kind of ultimate seed, there are some people in the Land of Redemption who have obtained a second extraordinary path, and even a third extraordinary path... Perhaps we can try to use the main brain to determine whether we can obtain a second extraordinary path."

Amade paused for a moment and said, "I've heard people mention it before in the Land of Redemption, but aren't there very few of them? People with two extraordinary paths are one in a thousand, and those with three extraordinary paths are even rarer, and there's no pattern to it. Many people die while learning a second extraordinary path."

Xu Shilan shook her head and said, "No, there are actually some patterns, such as the advancement pattern and the similarity pattern. These are patterns that the Night Watchers and government researchers have already statistically analyzed. For example, Chu Minghao initially learned a very low-level ordinary sword technique. When he practiced it to the limit, he could leave behind a little sword light, but at most it was a level 0.908 extraordinary technique. It's just that because he is now the invincible super brain, he appears so powerful. Now he has obtained the advanced extraordinary path, the Heavenly Sword, which is actually an advanced extraordinary technique."

Amade asked thoughtfully, "Brother Wu, is it something like traditional Chinese martial arts or the Immortal Martial Arts?"

Xu Shilan immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Chinese martial arts and human immortal martial arts also have advancement effects. In fact, you can learn a second or even a third extraordinary path. Ordinary people can do it too. In addition, there is another rule called the similarity rule. The extraordinary path you learn can be mixed with another extraordinary path that is different but similar in attributes. However, there are cases of failure in this case. It can only be said that the success rate is much higher than randomly choosing an extraordinary path."

Amade nodded repeatedly, then thought for a moment and said, "You mean, this world might allow us to learn a second path to transcendence?"

"Correct!"

Xu Shilan affirmed, "We currently know of four extraordinary paths in this world. However, one of them is an external extraordinary path, namely ship upgrades. The other three are Haki, sacrifice, and Devil Fruits. We already know about these. I've been analyzing the situation. Based on the information we have, Haki is definitely unlearnable, as it's quite different from our extraordinary paths. As for sacrifice, I might try to have the mainframe determine it, since shadow puppetry and sacrifice seem to be related. But what I truly believe can quickly improve our strength is... Devil Fruits!"

Amade pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "A Devil Fruit with multiple attributes?" "Yes!"

Xu Shilan nodded repeatedly and said, "We understand that Devil Fruits exist in this world. Once eaten, one can gain extraordinary power and even undergo physical changes. There are three types: Logia, Paramecia, and Zoan. The abilities are all kinds of strange and wonderful. So tell me... my shadow puppetry superpower and the Shadow Devil Fruit, or the Puppet Devil Fruit, are they very similar?"

Amade immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, that's indeed very similar! And if my Iron Refining Manual were combined with a Metal Devil Fruit, or a Gun Devil Fruit, a Weapon Devil Fruit, or even minerals, earth... the attributes would probably be similar too, right?!"

"exactly!"

Xu Shilan smiled brightly and said, "If it were just the two of us entering this dream world, we would be lucky to survive and even establish a level one or two shelter. This world is too powerful. But with Wu Pifu, it's different. He is even more powerful than this world. With his help, we can not only establish a shelter, but also search for Devil Fruits in this world that are similar to our extraordinary path, and even upgrade the Dog... Dog Egg to a legendary ship. In this way, our strength can increase rapidly and catch up with him quickly!"

At this point, both of them were both excited and relieved.

Protected by Wu Pifu's strength, they didn't feel indebted, but they were actually under considerable pressure. Now, with this treasure-like dream world, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Now, there was only one problem left...

The sheer strength of the Wu Pifu determines their ability to find and even select Devil Fruits.

After all, according to the intelligence they obtained, Devil Fruits are also known as treasures in this world, something that only top-level strongmen, top-level forces, or top-level wealthy people can possess.

As for just how strong Wu Pifu really is...

In mid-air, Baghdad was shot down for the fourth time. Although he wasn't as badly knocked to the seabed as the first time, almost triggering the Devil Fruit curse upon contact with the seawater, he still suffered several cuts. Many of the gears that could have healed were broken and destroyed, and he was close to being seriously injured.

When Baghdad unleashed his full power, even the strongest person standing at the pinnacle of this world could only match Wu Pifu!
Not only Baghdad was shocked, but his crew and those secretly watching were also shocked.

"As expected of a reclusive powerhouse! A legend among legends!"

Baghdad stepped back onto the Sea Emperor, panting heavily. Gears all over his body were spinning, and from the spinning gears a mysterious power was generated, allowing him to catch his breath and slowly mending the parts of his body that had been annihilated.

Wu Pifu's expression turned serious at this moment.

The strength of the Baghdad before him exceeded his expectations. Judging from his estimation, the Baghdad before him had reached the level of the Golden Arhat Jun Tu Bo Tan whom he had faced before. Of course, it was only one-tenth of the complete strength of the Golden Arhat Jun Tu Bo Tan, which was the level shown in the Buddha's Dream World.

But this is still quite remarkable. Jun Tu Bo Tan, the Golden Arhat, is an ascendant, while Baghdad is still a mortal. There is a qualitative change in the ascendant level between the two!
"Come again!"

Baghdad roared again, raised his sword to the sky, and leaped forward to slash at Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu still slashed back with his sword.

Just as the two blades were about to strike, a distorted passage suddenly appeared beside them. A giant and a young man in naval uniforms appeared instantly. A thick layer of spatial distortion appeared in the giant's hand, while a gray-white bone spike appeared in the young man's hand. Taking advantage of Baghdat's clash with Wu Pifu, the two of them slammed their blades towards Baghdat.

In an instant, the giant's twisted fist struck Bagdat's waist, while the bone spike in the youth's hand pierced through his shoulder. In the blink of an eye, Bagdat fell into the sea, and parts of his body turned from gears into flesh and blood.

"Ha! Good luck! The sneak attack actually succeeded!" the young man said with a beaming smile.

The giant, his face grim, roared, "Don't let your guard down! Chase after him and kill him!!"

Just as they were about to move, a chilling voice rang out, and the sudden burst of killing intent and aura caused both of them to freeze in place.

"you……"

"Looking for death?"
