Eternal Night

Chapter 737 With your help, I will grant you death.

(PS: This is the third update, a bit late, everyone, you can read it now.)
A humanoid exoskeleton made of metal and flesh is flying between heaven and earth at an astonishing speed of nearly 20,000 meters per second. Each flight cuts through the sky and the sea, leaving a long trail of air behind it.

Confronting it was a bizarre creature shrouded in a thick fog, countless tentacles, fleshy pillars, and chunks of flesh made of seawater, rocks, mud, coral reefs, wood fragments, or other miscellaneous materials, covering the sky and blotting out the sun. If viewed from tens of thousands of meters above, one could even see an entire ocean writhing and transforming into this grotesque creature.

The exoskeleton armored humanoid was the size of a mountain compared to a flying ant, a stark contrast to the grotesque creature shrouded in the thick fog.

However, during the battle, this flying ant that danced among the mountains seemed to be able to split mountains and shatter peaks. A large sword was held in the humanoid hand, and each swing affected a distance of tens of thousands of meters. Its hand strikes and kicks were as fast as meteors. The entire sea was shaken and cracked, the seawater turned into tsunamis, and the mushroom cloud rose up to a height of thousands of meters.

It was as if this humanoid figure was beating up an ocean...

This humanoid figure is Wu Pifu, who has already unleashed her full power, in addition to the magical girl's heart flower, the hero race summoning, and the manifestation of her domineering soul.

At this moment, he is slightly stronger than when he reversed time and space, especially after training and integrating his current extraordinary methods and gaining enlightenment on Conqueror's Haki, which makes his use of superimposed extraordinary methods smoother.

He seemed to still have energy left, and was currently beating down the thick fog, but the more he beat, the more alarmed Wu Pifu became.

This thing... is a monster!
No, that's too confusing, because this thing is indeed a monster, but "monster" here is an adjective, an interjection. Wu Pifu was truly amazed at just how big this thing was at its peak!

You have to understand that his attacks deal real damage within five steps. No matter what you are, even the root of the problem will be injured or destroyed. Even if the attack strength and range are limited, and he can only damage a part of it, if he keeps slashing like this, even a mountain or a sea should be dried up and crumbled.
But... why does the more he cuts, the stronger and more solidified the fog seems to become?
If you look down from above the entire world, you can see that the mist surrounding this ocean dream world is being continuously drawn into this sea area, causing the mist in this world to decrease significantly. Some sea areas that have been shrouded in mist for thousands of years are even seeing sunlight shining through for the first time.

Wu Pifu naturally sensed something was brewing or stirring, but he was so engrossed in chopping that he didn't want to stop...

"Judgment in progress... Judgment complete, partial annihilation of ■■■■, 2000 points gained..."

"Judgment in progress... Judgment complete, partial annihilation of ■■■■, 1000 points gained..."

"Judgment in progress... Judgment complete, partial annihilation of ■■■■, 900 points gained..."

……

The AI's voice was practically spamming his ears, constantly saying, "999 damage per hit! How can this possibly stop?"

If it weren't for the gathering mist, he would know something was happening, and he wished this battle could last for a hundred years!

In just a short time, he gained more than ten million points. It's practically like using a cheat engine to farm money, right?

However, Wu Pifu vaguely sensed something was wrong. It seemed that this world was reacting strangely to him. However, he found it hard to judge this reaction. On one hand, there was extreme disgust and hatred, and on the other hand, there was praise and joy. It made him feel that this world seemed to have gone mad.
"Never mind, it's stupid not to make money, let's just kill this thing, right?"

Despite his unease, Wu Piqi continued to wield his death-defying sword and hack wildly.

Although the fog was large, it posed no threat to him whatsoever. He could annihilate it with a single strike within five steps, and it was ineffective beyond five steps. In addition, he was small and fast. As he frantically slashed around the fog, he could easily dodge or counterattack no matter what the fog did.

And so he continued to chop for at least three more hours. The thick fog in front of him condensed to at least millions of times its original size. Although it still appeared to cover the sea, the fog on the other three sides had completely disappeared except for this part of the sea.

As Wu Pifu chanted the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon again, shouting a chuunibyou slogan that even he himself was almost unable to understand, he unleashed a blade of light infused with internal energy and domineering aura, slashing horizontally for at least several hundred miles. Suddenly, a deafening, invisible explosion erupted. Wu Pifu vaguely heard some kind of frenzied roar, and something incomparably high and terrifying was howling at him from the infinitely distant beyond. He had sensed that aura before; it seemed to be something that unified the consciousness of the world...

"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha..."

Suddenly, the thick fog in front of them contracted sharply, shrinking the fog that had covered an area of ​​sea to an elliptical area with a height of about four or five thousand meters and a diameter of ten thousand meters in the blink of an eye. In an instant, this fog condensed into a substance that was somewhere between a gaseous and a liquid state, and at the same time, a ferocious laugh rang out from within this condensed fog.

At the same time, the main AI's voice rang in Wu Pifu's mind.

"Judgment in progress... Judgment complete. Part of the Misty Heavenly Dao has been annihilated. The Misty Heavenly Dao of this dream world has been completely annihilated and killed. World feedback received. Feedback settlement in progress... Intercepted. Judgment in progress... Judgment in progress..."

The mainframe was back in judgment mode, but at the same time, a soft exclamation suddenly rang out from within the condensed mist. Immediately afterward, a cold, ruthless visual sensation, filled with pure order and boundless vastness, appeared from above. Wu Pifu immediately looked up at the sky on alert.

The reappearance of the unified pan-consciousness is not the unified pan-consciousness of the part of the misty world that he killed and annihilated, but the unified pan-consciousness of the transcendent great world, the Mountain and Sea Great World, which comes from the upper world of this world!

"Judgment failed!"

"The pan-consciousness of the mountain and sea realm has blocked this judgment, and the world's feedback has been intercepted. The interception has been marked for citizen Wu Pifu."

The main AI's voice had always been a mechanical, monotone voice. Wu Pifu had been listening to this voice ever since he entered the dream world. But at this moment, he inexplicably felt that the main AI's voice was filled with impotent rage, and it was a kind of impotent rage that was like "ahhhhhh..."

Then, in his field of vision, the condensed mist began to turn red, a deep, almost purplish-black red...

"...Mastermind, even you get bullied sometimes?" Wu Pifu joked, but he was just saying it casually. The world feedback was intercepted. Regardless of what the world feedback was, it was obvious that it was useful to both him and the Mastermind. It had been intercepted?
Ha ha……

Wu Pifu raised his death-defying broadsword high, soaring ten thousand meters into the sky. The next second, he poured all his power into the broadsword and slashed down at the condensed mist.

"Its origins flow through countless generations; how great is the Qian Yuan!"

The blade's edge shot straight out a thousand meters away. Just as the blade was about to touch the condensed mist, a giant finger composed of water and fire suddenly emerged from the mist and gently flicked towards him and the Death-Defying Blade.

"Mortal, how dare you presume to be worthy of the greatness of the Qian Yuan?"

A sharp sound rang out from within the condensed mist. The next second, a finger collided with Wu Pifu's greatsword. The finger shattered and turned into mist, the blade's light shattered, and Wu Pifu was actually thrown back tens of thousands of meters into the air.

"Huh? This is something... No wonder it can sever the corruption of the Heavenly Dao."

A sharp sound rang out again, and then the entire mass of condensed mist suddenly exploded, revealing a gigantic monster, five or six thousand meters tall, resembling both a human and a snake.

This monster has nine snake heads, each as large as a mountain. Below the snake heads is a snake neck that stretches for thousands of meters, and below the snake neck is a giant body with human hands, body and feet, but it is thousands of meters tall and its body surface is covered with a large number of snake scales.

This nine-headed, human-bodied monster was composed of water and fire. These two elements, which should have been incompatible, miraculously merged together, transforming into a flowing flame in water, bluish-white in color, without a single other color on its body.

Wu Pifu suppressed the metallic taste in his throat and looked down from the sky, whereupon the nine-headed, human-bodied monster looked back at him.

"Is it you, a mere mortal, who saved me?" The nine snake heads spoke simultaneously, their voices sharp and piercing, possessing a peculiar penetrating and polluting quality. Ordinary people would experience various hallucinations and negative emotions simply from hearing these voices.

Wu Pifu did not answer, but stood with his knife in hand, examining the sublimated entity that emerged from the mist.

The nine-headed, human-bodied monster didn't wait for Wu Pifu's reply. It continued, "I am Jiuying. Today, I am grateful to you for helping me escape this calamity. When I first obtained the Dream Compass, I used it to find an entrance to the Misty Great World. However, I was greedy and wanted to obtain two transcendent-level Great World imprints. Unexpectedly, this backfired, and I was corrupted by the Heavenly Dao of the Misty Great World, destroying my nearly saintly demon body that I had forged through countless trials. I barely managed to escape back to my own realm with my remnant soul, but unfortunately, I carried the remnants of the Heavenly Dao of the Misty Great World. Therefore, I was cut off and cast down by the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm. I have been ignorant and clueless for countless years, only instinctively wanting to return to the Upper Realm. However, this is equivalent to invading my own realm with the Heavenly Dao of the Misty Great World. So, I have been demoted and punished by the heavens time and time again. If this happens a few more times, I am afraid I will truly cease to exist."

Wu Pifu was taken aback. He hadn't expected that the sublimated being that was emitting killing intent towards him at this moment would be so honest in telling him all these reasons, and also explaining why the thing he had just killed was the Misty Heavenly Dao.

but why?
Wu Pifu didn't dwell on it and asked directly, "Why are you telling me all this?"

Nine-Headed Serpent was also frank. Without hesitation, it said, "Because I am going to kill you next. Firstly, you used something to steal half of my Dream Compass. This thing must be intact, otherwise the backlash of fate will surely come... Thinking about it carefully, you used your special ability to annihilate the remnants of the Heavenly Dao of the Great Misty World, allowing me to return to my original state. This is the result of your backlash of fate."

"Secondly, killing you is the act of saving me from this mortal. Why don't you kneel down and thank me?"

Jiuying spoke solemnly, without a trace of sarcasm, as if being killed by Him was truly a blessing.

Wu Pifu remained silent, but simply raised his knife and fell from the sky.

Nine-Headed Serpent was quite surprised, then burst into laughter. Before Wu Pifu could get close, it suddenly reached into its chest and pulled out hundreds of humans from its palm. Wu Pifu abruptly stopped its charge and narrowed its eyes as it looked at the hundreds of humans, because there were even some familiar faces among them.

Baghdad and Gordi were both in this palm, and besides these two, he even saw Xu Ruonan!?

Although he didn't know why Xu Ruonan was here, there was no doubt that the figure struggling in pain was Xu Ruonan!

These people, even tough guys like Baghdad, were now screaming, howling, shrieking, and struggling madly...

They were being dissolved by water and fire, their physical bodies gradually dissolving into a strange, mist-like substance. Not only their physical bodies, but their consciousness was also being pulled out bit by bit. All their memories materialized at this moment, enveloped by water and fire, turning into a strange, mist-like substance, ten times larger than their physical bodies. Moreover, it wasn't just their physical bodies; in the deepest part of their consciousness, Wu Pifu even saw their souls and true spirits dissolving...

"The demons transformed heaven and earth, imitating the Dao of Heaven to form the true Dao of the world."

Nine-Headed Serpent's nine heads were shaking their heads, seemingly very proud. He said, "Mortals feed on things, so they are weak and fragile. Extraordinary beings feed on qi, so they are strong and can be sublimated. But this is still putting the cart before the horse. The true Dao of this world must feed on the true spirit, just as one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things. But all things must eventually return to one. So why not start with one as the foundation from the beginning? How wonderful!"

After shaking his head for a moment, Jiuying stuffed the hundreds of humans back into his chest. All of them disappeared. Then, he said earnestly to Wu Pifu, "How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Mortal, kneel down and thank me, I will grant you death."

The only response He received was a sudden black and white void over heaven and earth.

The sword fell...

Wu Pifu discovered something inhuman!
