Eternal Night

Chapter 763 Chaos

Wu Pifu brandished the Death-Defying Blade, which still moved and exerted its power as always. It did not change because it had become larger, sharper, or heavier. The weapon's characteristics were only for targeting the enemy.

"The Ruyi Jingu Bang (Monkey King's Staff)?"

Wu Pifu murmured to himself. Although he knew he was a pure-blooded human and definitely not the same as the legendary monkey, to outsiders, his death-defying broadsword did indeed have many similarities to that legendary weapon.

Wu Pifu naturally couldn't make a loud defense at this time. He wasn't stupid. Although he disdained having his pure-blooded human play the role of a monkey, he couldn't be blamed if the other party misunderstood.

Wu Pifu silently continued walking with his sword, but he didn't actually leave the area. He just circled around the area of ​​the Heavenly Dao that had been altered by the sacrifice, and every few dozen seconds he would bring out a Celestial Dragon to kill. If another sublimated being attacked him, he would use himself and his Death-Sacrifice to block it if it was far away, and if it was close, he would just draw his sword and attack.

He could also see that this battle, for some inexplicable reason, was both extremely important and something that many beings were watching and anticipating... Although apart from him, the Ascended Being, and the Celestial Dragons, there wasn't a single other life form to be seen on the battlefield. Oh, right, there seemed to be a cloak...

Wu Pifu killed another Celestial Dragon, then looked at the Ascended Beings in the distance, none of them seemed to dare to approach. The powerful second-tier Ascended Being who had just shouted the Ruyi Jingu Bang had already gone far away and was about to leave this world. The Giant Tree Ascended Being seemed to be moving very slowly. Although it was frantically chasing after him, its movement speed was even slower than his. And Aigus, who had just been slashed into the ground by the Death-Seeking Blade, had not come out yet?
Suddenly, there were no enemies left?
What Wu Pifu thought should have been an exceptionally fierce battle turned out to be so bizarre and strange; it was the first time he had ever encountered such a thing.

However, he didn't care about anything else at this point. He just wanted to tear the curtain apart first. Anyway, those ascended beings couldn't catch up with him. As his Super Brain World usage time became shorter and shorter, and the invisible dark lightning emitted by the Heavenly Dao caused him more and more damage, he couldn't catch up with those ascended beings. So... he might as well continue killing the Celestial Dragons.

Wu Pifu killed several Celestial Dragons in succession. He vaguely sensed something being torn apart. Although the world was still the same, upon closer inspection, it felt different. Just then, he suddenly heard the sublimated form of the giant tree in the distance emit a shrill, enormous roar: "Are you just going to watch it tear the veil apart bit by bit? To suppress the 'Original Covenant,' I must take root in the earth. What about you?!"

The other ascended beings looked at each other, none of them speaking. Only after the giant tree ascended being called out three times did one of the more shy ascended beings reluctantly reply, "Even if this outsider isn't the legendary one, he's still an extremely rare seed of the ultimate path. You can't always reason with these things. Even if he's just a mortal, with multiple extraordinary paths combined, his combat power is unbelievably strong. It's not that we're not going to help, but one wrong move and we could really die."

Another ascendant added, "That's right. Lord Shaber was terrified by that legendary being. Not to mention, Lord Eggers was also sent into the ground with a single blow. This is something we really can't fight against..."

Upon hearing someone speak, the other Ascended beings began to complain and mutter amongst themselves, their main point being that the enemy was powerful and they were helpless. It wasn't that they didn't want to fight, but rather that the enemy had the intention of using Gundams.

This angered the sublimated giant tree, causing it to hiss loudly, clearly indicating that it was extremely furious.

A few seconds later, the giant tree sublimation entity projected its perception onto the three surviving human sublimations.

These three human ascendants are all ascendants created based on Devil Fruits. Two of them are Zoan-type Mythical Beasts, and the other is a Logia-type Devil Fruit. As the giant tree ascendant projected its senses onto them, although it hadn't spoken yet, its meaning was already very clear.

The three human ascendants felt a chill run down their spines. They were different from the ascendants of other races. Each of them had achieved their Dao foundation through Devil Fruits. In nature, they were no different from the ascendants born from the laws of origin outside the transcendent world. However, they had the support of the transcendent world. If they accumulated enough, they might become second-tier or even the ultimate realm in the future. But before that, they were still subject to the giant tree ascendant and had no room to resist.

One of the phantom beasts, a sublimated form of three golden toads several hundred meters long, immediately said, "My lord, it's not that we don't want to go, but he has already killed many Celestial Dragons. Of the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, not to mention Heaven, Earth is anchored by you and us, and Man is anchored by the Celestial Dragons. If he kills us too, this veil will immediately collapse, the original covenant between Heaven, Earth, and Man will immediately collapse, and the world will be turned upside down. Something terrible will happen!"

The other two human beings who had ascended to higher levels immediately nodded repeatedly, but dared not utter a single word.

The entire trunk of the giant tree, which was undergoing a transformation of its spiritual energy, was spewing black flames and black clouds. However, she was very aware of the treachery in people's hearts and was even more adept at internal strife. At this moment, she calmed down and said, "I will not force you to kill this outsider. As long as you hold him back and delay him, I will come and kill him... They can run, but do you think the three of you and I can run away?"

This last sentence finally awakened the three human beings who had ascended to higher realms.

That's right. Other ascended beings belong to the various races that participated. At most, they lose what they have accumulated over countless millennia, but they won't spit out what they've already ingested. At worst, they'll just return to the past primordial world, or like Shabo, they'll simply escape to the distant past.

Let alone these other races' ascended forms, even the three of them have their own storage bases, hidden places, or unexposed small worlds outside the Mountain and Sea Realm. They have secretly taken countless good things from the Mountain and Sea Realm and hidden them away. These other races' ascended forms can really leave whenever they want. The reason they participated in this battle is simply because they can't bear to give up this great foundation. But if their lives are in danger, they won't be foolish enough to fight on.

However, they are different from the ascended beings of other races. Once the veil is torn apart, they truly have nowhere to escape, and with the sins and transgressions they have accumulated, they probably cannot even die.

At that moment, the three ascended beings dared not shirk their responsibilities in the slightest. Seeing that Wu Pifu was about to kill the Celestial Dragon, the three ascended beings immediately sprang up, with the three-legged golden toad as their leader, and surrounded Wu Pifu's location.

Wu Pifu was overjoyed at this, so he grabbed one of the Celestial Dragons in one hand and the Death-Defying Blade in the other and slashed at the three ascended beings that were charging at him.

Unexpectedly, these three sublimated entities, while claiming to be restraining and delaying, were truly doing so without any compromise. They genuinely only circled around Wu Pifu to restrain and delay him. When Wu Pifu slashed with his sword, he discovered that the closest three sublimated entities to him were over 100,000 meters away... What was the point of fighting them now?
"Mortal! Your death is near!"

"Outsider, you have no idea what you're doing!"

"You are destroying everything. Stop it now. What can't we talk about?"

The three sublimated beings kept roaring around Wu Pifu, their so-called restraint... was actually just using their mouths?

The sublimated giant tree was furious from afar, as if it was about to explode. It tried to approach at a slow pace, roaring as it crawled.

But this still couldn't deter the three human ascendants' determination to "restrain" them, leaving even Wu Pifu stunned. "No, it really isn't..."

Wu Pifu felt an urge to cover his face. He shouted, "What's wrong with you guys? I've fought through so many dream worlds, and I've fought the sublimated forms more than once or twice. I've even killed four of the Roots. You guys are truly the most unbelievable I've ever seen! Come on, kill me! What's wrong with you guys? Aren't I tearing down your veil? Aren't I revealing the hidden truth? You..."

Wu Pifu couldn't continue, because after a slight pause, the three human ascendants immediately fled a thousand miles away, roaring as they went: "Damn it, who brought this thing in? He's that monster who cleaved the Milky Way! That monster who killed the Eight Directions Demon Lord and those three hidden sources he found somewhere! Aaaaaah..."

In the next instant, the remaining ascended beings were silent for less than a nanosecond before exploding and fleeing into the distance, roaring as they fled. Even the giant tree ascended being that had charged forward with great momentum paused, not running away, but undoubtedly filled with hesitation.

Wu Pifu remained silent for a long time. He tried to lift out a Celestial Dragon and kill it, but to his surprise, the giant tree's ascended form not only did not become enraged or rush forward, but instead retreated a great distance, looking as if it was about to escape.

This bizarre sight left Wu Pifu utterly speechless.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, dozens of the sublimated beings who had just escaped returned at an extremely fast speed, almost the same speed as when they had fled.

The sublimated giant tree roared with joy, "Yes, yes, yes! Let's all rush in! No matter how much of a monster he is, he's just a mere mortal! Don't worry, everyone, as long as we get through this ordeal, I'll give you an extra eight percent of the profits!! Everyone will share the spoils, everyone will share the spoils!!"

But these ascended beings ignored him completely, each soaring into the sky and disappearing into the heavens of this space. Meanwhile, the three human ascended beings continued to speak: "Ancestor, stop talking! The demon race has already laid down the Heavenly Demon Four Saints Annihilation Array outside. Those great demon kings have exhausted all their resources, summoning the projections of the four saints. We can't get out! The outside is completely sealed off, and they're swallowing us up. Touch them and you're destroyed; even a graze means certain death. Only this sky above offers a passage to the outside world. Run!!"

The sublimated form of the giant tree immediately sensed its surroundings. The four fruits it bore were shaking. In just a moment, an anomaly appeared on the horizon in all directions: the east was blue, the west was white, the south was red, and the north was black. Four incomparable beings, filling the heavens and earth, slowly pressed down, guarding all four directions. All things within were endlessly destroyed, transformed into earth, wind, water, and fire, and were swept into the four sacred beings.

"How is this possible!? How dare they!? The Heavenly Dao, the Heaven..."

The ascended tree was about to roar when it froze, suddenly remembering that the sacrifice it had orchestrated had caused the Heavenly Dao to revert to its original state, returning to its primordial will. Therefore, as long as it remained here, even if it were to completely annihilate the entire area, let alone set up the Heavenly Demon Four Saints Annihilation Array, the Heavenly Dao would likely ignore it. As for the talk of only being able to use Haki, Devil Fruits, or other perfect abilities… understand this: the Heavenly Demon Four Saints Annihilation Array is not a perfect ability, but a fundamental method surpassing even the ascended form!
Miscalculation!
At least for this moment, He was helpless!
"It's over, it's over..." The sublimated giant tree immediately felt utterly hopeless.

Unexpectedly, another unexpected event occurred. Just as dozens of ascended beings rushed towards the top of the sky, a huge, dazzling radiance fell from the sky. It was the second-tier ascended being who had fled because of the Ruyi Jingu Bang. At this moment, the light that enveloped its entire body had disappeared, revealing its body, which resembled a fleshy ball with many feathers and wings. It was truly radiant and illuminating the sky.

The dozens of ascended beings gradually calmed down, each cheering and exclaiming, "Ah, the Master has returned!?"

"Truly worthy of being a second-tier powerhouse!"

"We are saved!!"

Unexpectedly, the multi-winged, fleshy mass roared, "I'm going back to your horses! Something even more ferocious has come from outside!!"

As soon as the words fell, the light of the Heavenly Demon Four Saints Myriad Annihilation Formation converged from all directions, sealing off the entire sky like a canopy of light. Everyone saw three great demons rampaging and roaring behind the phantoms of the four saints. One resembled a tiger, one a lion, and one a bird and a fish. All of them were enormous and covered the sky.

"Gah gah gah, catch them all in one fell swoop, catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Kill them all! Kill them all! End this new era completely!"

"Good! The true face of the Primordial World has been revealed. How can we demons tolerate this humiliation!"

The three great demons roared, shaking heaven and earth. But just as the roar was uttered, a group of even more dazzling, larger, and more incredible lights descended from the sky.

Then I saw light coming from nothingness, this light...

I won't see them anymore.

In an instant, the Heavenly Demon Four Saints Annihilation Array, which covered the four directions and was almost invincible, shattered with a deafening roar. The phantom images of the four saints were also directly blasted into dust. Three great demons fell from the sky with mournful cries, accompanied by two strange giant beasts, a mysterious object emitting the glow of dusk, and a pitch-black, eerie existence that devoured light. All of them were knocked down from the sky by this light.

To everyone's astonishment, a loud yet invisible explosion occurred, and the light that had come from nothingness vanished abruptly. A voice cried out in pain, and then this human fell from the sky, while another human cried out in fear.

"Oh no, Chu Minghao's mental barrier has been broken, he..."

"It's about to go berserk!!"
