Eternal Night

Chapter 740 Crashing Through the Sky!

Wu Pifu can confirm two things.

First of all, Jiuying is extremely pure.

Despite its talkative and cunning nature since its appearance, it runs away at the first sign of trouble, and once it's safe, it immediately provokes Wu Pifu, hoping that Wu Pifu will attack the crystal layer and offend the heavens.

It looks complicated, but Wu Pifu sensed that the essence of the Nine-Headed Serpent was very pure. It was the complete law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, regardless of morality or ethics. As long as one survives and becomes stronger, everything else is acceptable and permissible.

Whether He wants to kill Wu Pifu, eat people, run away without any shame, or provoke Wu Pifu now, all His actions are for survival, for killing Wu Pifu, and for taking back the Dream Compass.

This kind of enemy will not change or compromise. If we let it escape now, it will inevitably become its greatest enemy in the future, as well as a great enemy of humanity. It will use every means to kill Wu Pifu, or even destroy human civilization. No matter how despicable the method, it is just a normal act for it. This is too great a threat to the people around Wu Pifu.

Secondly, the unified consciousness of the transcendent world is not like the God described in various human classics, who treats everything equally and whose way of Heaven is impartial, but rather Heaven has its own selfishness.

Based on the information currently available, the Mountain and Sea Realm has a strict hierarchical system at its unified level of consciousness. If the Nine-Headed Serpent were to use its authority and understanding to manipulate it, the entire Mountain and Sea Realm would become a great enemy of mankind!
Moreover, besides these two reasons, this Nine-Headed Serpent is a non-human being, and it is also a non-human being that stole the reward from Wu Pifu.

For both public and private reasons, Wu Pifu could not let Jiuying go. As for breaking through this crystal layer and angering the unified consciousness of the Mountain and Sea Realm... Wu Pifu was also very certain of one thing: even if you don't anger this unified consciousness, when you have no value, you are just a roadside stone in its eyes; when you have value, you are an object to be exploited. Unless you have both value and strength, and can occupy some authority or share of this unified consciousness, it doesn't really matter to it whether you are angered or not.

At most, Wu Pifu himself will be targeted by the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm...

That's it!

Wu Pifu slashed upwards with his sword, the Death-Defying Blade aimed at the crystal layer. The moment the blade touched the crystal layer, a dazzling light burst forth at the point of contact. The unified consciousness that had been paying attention to this place seemed to be stunned. Then, a surge of anger came over it, as if a dragon had been bitten by an ant.

But before this fury could erupt, and before Jiuying could vent his ecstasy, both Jiuying and the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm were stunned.

Because they saw Wu Pifu's suicidal broadsword pierce into the crystal layer, reaching within three-tenths of its depth.

"No, impossible! What the hell is that blade?!" Jiuying roared in shock, the three snake heads staring in disbelief: "This looks like crystal, but it's actually a world barrier, a concept, something that doesn't exist. Even if you can ignore the defense, you still can't... No, that's not right, you're not ignoring the defense, and it's not a problem with the blade, what exactly are you?!"

Seeing this, Jiuying was truly terrified.

With His knowledge and the timeline of His existence, there were few things in the entire dream world that He did not know, but right now He truly could not understand them.

From His birth to the present day, including some ancient stories recorded before His birth, no life has ever been able to "break" through the dimensional barrier by physical means, never!
They can't even address the root cause!

Because this is not a real substance or energy, nor is it a tangible object in the realm of the extraordinary, the crystal's appearance is merely the form given to it by the cognitive beings. In reality, it is a concept, similar to color, speed, sweetness, bitterness, or spiciness, or a concept of intelligence or stupidity. Either a life form that conforms to this concept can enter, or it can forcibly break in by corroding concepts with concepts.

But what did He see now?
He saw Wu Pifu use a knife to cut through the crystal wall of this plane!?

Hey!
Who can break down the bittersweet experiences of life with physical means?
But the facts were right before their eyes: Wu Pifu had indeed managed to cut through the crystal wall of this plane with his knife. Although it only penetrated three-tenths of the way in, and it was still a long way from being completely cut through, it was the difference between zero and one. Both Jiuying and the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm were shocked and completely baffled.

"Judgment in progress... Judgment complete. Due to its absurdity, the unified consciousness of the Mountain and Sea Realm has generated incomprehensible and inexplicable cognitions. The 'Bewilderment Index' has increased by a massive amount, resulting in a very special judgment. Louis XVI has the possibility of advancing."

Suddenly, the mainframe's judgment voice appeared in Wu Pifu's mind. This was the first special judgment voice that appeared for the "Bewilderment Index" brought by the title of Louis XVI. At the same time, the "Bewilderment Index" in Wu Pifu's eye corner actually increased by a billion, which even stunned Wu Pifu himself.

A billion-point index that's hard to understand?

What the hell?

Wu Pifu was completely bewildered, but fortunately he knew what he had to do. Without hesitation, he drew his sword and continued slashing wildly at the crystal layer. Each strike cut deep, and with continuous slashing, numerous cracks appeared on the surface of the crystal layer. However, these cracks were slowly healing naturally, and it was impossible to cut through the crystal layer for the time being. Moreover, this crystal layer was not a thin layer, but an extremely thick channel.

The Nine-Headed Serpent is still inside the crystal layer and hasn't actually crossed over yet. Seeing this progress, the Nine-Headed Serpent finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately laughed in a shrill voice, "Chop away, chop away! Come and kill me! I'll stand right here waiting for you to kill me!"

As he spoke, streaks of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky above Wu Pifu's head. With the wrath of the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm, thunder followed, and a vortex of lightning appeared on the top of the sky. Immediately afterwards, a bolt of azure lightning struck down and exploded on Wu Pifu's head with a crack.

The Azure Thunder Heavenly Punishment shattered the entire sky, turning it into a plasma ocean. The immense light and heat spread outwards, even reaching the sea hundreds of miles away, evaporating and vaporizing the reefs and islands there.

However, when the massive light subsided, Wu Pifu was only charred black all over, but his head and neck were completely unharmed. In fact, because the lightning struck his head, his body was only affected by the impact.

Even so, Wu Pifu was still taken aback.

He was certain that the injuries he had sustained were the result of the multiple weakening effects of the "Commoner" title. The power that constituted this lightning bolt was extremely pure and singular, pure as can be. The more complex the power that constituted the "Commoner" title, the less damage it would do to him. However, if the power was extremely pure and singular, it could only be weakened by half. Therefore, even if this lightning bolt was five steps away, it would still cause him great harm.

On the contrary, the title of Louis XVI directly demonstrated terrifying power.

After receiving a billion "Bewilderment Index" in one go, the title has become an extraordinary one through the accumulation of numbers. His neck and head are now truly indestructible. Even Wu Pifu suspects that even without the "Commoner" title, just the effect of the "Louis XVI" title would have been enough for his head to withstand such a powerful divine punishment without injury.

"...Wait a minute, is your head strong enough?"

Wu Pifu's heart stirred. He didn't even care about his charred and severely injured body. He simply withdrew his death-defying sword and grinned at the Nine-Headed Serpent in the crystal layer.

Jiuying was already shocked that Wu Pifu hadn't been killed by the azure lightning. Then, its three snake heads saw Wu Pifu sheath his sword and stand there. They immediately sensed something was wrong and said, "You know what's good for you. Then get lost! Wait until I've recovered, then I'll come and kill you, destroy your civilization, and slaughter your entire race. When that time comes... what the hell are you going to do?!"

Wu Pifu suddenly tilted his head back, aimed his forehead directly at the crystal layer, and then used all his strength to unleash his speed, slamming his head directly into the crystal layer that represented the plane's crystal wall.

"Oh!"

A silent roar spread throughout the entire Ocean Dream World, and the shock even reached the Mountain and Sea Realm. All beings with a certain level of strength looked up in surprise, completely bewildered, and only felt a sense of unease and panic.

Jiuying was no longer just feeling palpitations and panic; He was genuinely panicked and completely bewildered.

For a mortal like you to be able to break through His demonized world is already an incredible feat. However, considering that you are a seed of the ultimate path and can explore various extraordinary systems, this is understandable.

Then you actually managed to physically damage the dimensional crystal wall with a knife, which is unbelievable enough. However, it can be loosely explained that the weapon might be a conceptual weapon. The witch transformation of the profound witch system can materialize the essence of the soul into a conceptual weapon. Jiuying knew this, so He could barely convince Himself in this way.

But... you actually rammed your head directly into the dimensional barrier, and you actually shattered it!?
No, what is your surname? What are you? Are you a humanoid Transcendental Great World?
Without a word, Jiuying didn't dare utter a single harsh word. The three snake heads turned around and continued to rush deeper into the other end of the crystal layer. However, inside the crystal layer, its speed was really slow. The three snake heads seemed to be moving in slow motion. Wu Pifu smashed through the crystal layer with his head. This was not just a slight incision; he directly smashed a crater. This made him overjoyed. Although his head was a little dizzy after the impact, it undoubtedly proved that the hardness of his forehead far exceeded that of the Death-Seeking Blade.

He disregarded everything else and mustered all his strength once more, raising his head high and pulling his body back a short distance. Just then, another bolt of azure lightning struck him on the forehead. He roared as he rammed his head against the crystal layer.

"Who do you think I am!?"

"My head is big enough to smash through the sky!!"

Bang!
Upon impact, Wu Pifu's speed surpassed that of the slow-motion Jiuying, almost breaking through a fifth of the crystal layer's thickness. Instantly, thunder roared from the sky, raining down upon Wu Pifu's head like a tidal wave...

Meanwhile, far away in the sea where Wu Pifu was fighting, on a steam-powered spaceship that was half metal and half wood, Xu Shilan, Amadei, Chu Yuyan, Haocheng, and Mi all looked at the remote monitoring equipment with =0= expressions.

Only Zhi, clutching his stomach, burst into laughter: "God's head can smash through the sky... Mi, our father, no, our mother, is truly too talented!"
