Eternal Night

Chapter 767 In ancient times there was the Golden Cudgel, now there is the Death-Seeking Blade
(PS: I can't help but laugh. Yesterday was a relative's birthday. This time, during my trip to Inner Mongolia, in order to improve the relationship between my parents, I also brought my mother's younger sister and her second brother, who are my aunt and uncle. I won't go into details about that.)

Today was another long chapter, nearly 7000 words. I feel like my energy is returning.
Powerful, extremely powerful!

Since entering the dream world, Wu Pifu is now at an unprecedented level of power!
The reason he was able to slay four Roots in the Warhammer Dreamworld was due to a combination of countless coincidences. First, the three Roots of the Mind World were weakened, then the Eight Lords of the Warp were in a deep sleep, and then there was the sacrifice of the Emperor, the most special World Child in the Warhammer Dreamworld. In addition, the entire world used the whole galaxy as a bargaining chip in a war to eliminate the Warp, which finally led to the slaying of those four Roots.

Without all of this, Wu Pifu would never have been a match for any of the Root Forces!

But now he feels that he can try to kill a root source without relying on these methods!
The Red Wolf title is too powerful. It can even be said to be the strongest title Wu Pifu has encountered so far. Of course, judging from the literal interpretation, the difficulty of using it is probably off the charts. Only people like Chu Minghao can use it without any problems, and it can even be applied to him, which directly makes all his strengths and extraordinary abilities off the charts.

The Red Wolf title differs from other additive and multiplicative stacking methods. Its attribute is enhanced by 50%, which may not seem strong, but this 50% is a comprehensive enhancement from the essence, potential, existing strength, and extraordinary path, and it is also calculated using multiple algorithms.

Now, with Chu Minghao's blessing, it has undergone a comprehensive and qualitative transformation.

Since Wu Pifu first received the Red Wolf title when he cooperated with Liang Min and Chu Minghao to fight against the Final Producer on the weekend, this is the second time he has felt the realm above the Divine Indestructible realm of Chinese martial arts again with the Red Wolf title. It is mysterious and indescribable, probably because it is not something he achieved through his own cultivation or enlightenment, but rather a forced improvement through the Red Wolf title. That is why he has this vague and ambiguous feeling.

However, the power is real and undeniable. The characteristic of Chinese martial arts is its extremely strong control. At the stage of seeing the divine and not being destroyed, it already involves the level of mental consciousness. At the level above seeing the divine and not being destroyed, it vaguely involves the level of the soul and true spirit. A certain power that comes from within comes out of nowhere, from the soul and true spirit to mental consciousness, and finally acts on the physical body, making his physical body, spirit and soul become one.

The Human Immortal Martial Arts also achieved a breakthrough. In Wu Pifu's perception, on his body after transforming into a Hero Clan, stars lit up one by one. Each star was an acupoint on his body. These acupoints automatically lit up and opened, and blood and qi automatically circulated around them, causing the strength of the Hero Clan's physical body to increase exponentially.

The Immortal Martial Internal Energy began to spiral from a crystalline state. This crystalline internal energy spiraled and swirled in Wu Pifu's dantian, then gradually condensed into a spiral ball of light. The natural circulation of internal energy suddenly stopped, and the entire spiral ball of internal energy was condensing and strengthening its internal energy at a speed at least a hundred times that of the circulation of internal energy.

The three types of Haki showed signs of mixing, the magical girl transformation seemed to show some kind of evolution, the Guyver Armor could vaguely sense the presence of some kind of huge life-mechanical entity, and even Ultra Instinct and Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture were forcibly broken through slightly...

Only the Iron Refining Record remained untouched; even the priority of the Red Wolf title could not shake it in the slightest. This was also the only extraordinary path Wu Pifu currently possessed that was unaffected by this title.

But that's enough!

Wu Pifu had no idea how strong he really was. He raised his knife towards the Tree of Life, determined to utterly destroy it no matter what!
Unexpectedly, at that moment, at the very top of the Tree of Life, a large number of "branches" condensed together and transformed into a blurry, distorted woman's face, which was somewhat similar to the Norm that Wu Pifu had once seen.

"I hate it! I hate it! This hatred can never be erased!"

The Tree of Life sprouted a twisted Gnom head, enormous in size, composed of numerous bound, twisted spirits. These spirits were both part of the head and constantly tearing at and devouring it, their boundless hatred beyond description, leaving only resentment and madness.

Norm's large face twisted in a ferocious grimace: "Because of you, all my schemes, all my hopes for the future, all my beautiful visions have vanished into thin air!"

"What do you lowly people know?! What do you mean by benefiting all living beings, long live the people, and ascend to heaven? Is that possible? Is that possible?! This resource is too little even for a hundred people, how could it possibly benefit hundreds of millions of living beings?!"

"He's an idiot, a moron, and you're all fools! You're ungrateful; whoever gives you a piece of meat is your master! You're dogs, you're beasts, you're lowly, stupid things!"

"Yes, yes, he's a good person, I'm a bad person, he's selfless, I'm selfish, so what?! Everyone looks out for themselves! Besides, even if it truly benefits all living beings, long live the people, then first these immense benefits, these divinely bestowed positions, should be given to those of us who followed him and helped him conquer this world! We must become stronger before we can continue to assist him! Saving the people starts with saving the officials! We are officials, we are the ones who manage you! Even we have gained nothing, so why should we assist him?! Why should we shed blood and sacrifice our lives for him?! Just for you forgetful fools, who would kneel down and become dogs for a piece of meat?!"

"Even if it truly benefits all living beings, and we wish for the people to live long, we must first gather resources to create a group of the strongest to suppress everything. The strong must lead the way for the weak to become strong, only then can we resist the powerful of the old era, only then can we wage war, colonize, and plunder. This is the right path! But what about him? He's obsessed with delusions, talking about breaking through the old world, bringing light, achieving universal harmony, uniting all living beings in the outside world to find a new path, and claiming that wheat has ripened countless times… Impossible! Absolutely impossible!! To refuse what Heaven offers is to suffer the consequences! He doesn't want it, but I do! We must have it!!"

"We must not only betray him and defeat him, but also keep him alive even after he's dead, making him the center of this resentment. When I attain enlightenment in the future, I will be able to reverse everything, release him, let him see the great achievements I have made, and make him weep bitterly. Wouldn't that be wonderful?!"

"But you, because of you, you meddlesome outsider, the Celestial Dragons want to kill you. Just bow your head and let them kill you. If they can't kill you, just leave. The world is vast, what business is it of yours here?! What right do you have to interfere in our affairs!"

"I hate it so much..."

Norm roared madly, and the sound caused an immense tremor in the chaos. Countless lands were annihilated, and countless creatures were mutated. The Tree of Life seemed to have hands and feet, and it spread out. Countless true spirits turned into branches, and countless branches formed hands and feet, grabbing at Wu Pifu in one swift motion.

As they moved, the sublimated beings belonging to the Heavenly Dao of the New Era began to expand rapidly in size. Originally, these sublimated beings were already enormous, ranging from a few hundred meters to several thousand meters in size. However, when the Tree of Life began to move, the Heavenly Dao of the New Era suddenly granted them a share of the Heavenly Dao's blessing, which was equivalent to the source giving them an essential strengthening. Each of them expanded to tens of thousands of meters in size, and their extraordinary power and perfect characteristics were suddenly strengthened and expanded by at least several times.

On the other side, the ancient primordial Heavenly Dao also unleashed a blood-red torrent. Under this torrent, ancient demon kings, ancient gods, giant beasts, strange creatures, and many sublimated beings that had been suppressed and were dormant by the new era's Heavenly Dao all began to revive and awaken. Because of the large-scale internal strife of raising Gu in the more distant past, the number of sublimated beings in the old era was much greater, numbering in the hundreds, including about ten second-tier sublimated beings.

In comparison, the total number of Ascended Beings in the New Era Heavenly Dao faction is less than thirty. Apart from the Norm who has been absorbed by the Tree of Life, there are only one Goblin Trade King and one Angel Birdman left among the Second-Rank Ascended Beings. In terms of Ascended Being combat power, the New Era is only about one-fifth of the Old Era.

However, this Tree of Life is beyond the scope of the curriculum.

As the collective of countless human true spirits in the new era, its accumulated resentment is immense. Even though the Norm is bound by it and becomes one of those trapped by the Tree of Life, it has also become a powerful fighting force, transforming into an agent of the Heavenly Dao in the new era. In terms of strength, it is probably much stronger than a second-tier ascended body.

At this moment, the two Heavenly Daos were tearing each other apart, each unleashing their share of Heavenly Dao power. More than a hundred Ascended Bodies on both sides were blinded by rage and corrupted by the will of the Heavenly Dao, launching a frenzied attack. Kunpeng, leading Bai Ze and Lu Wu, charged forward first, followed by several powerful ancient gods and strange creatures. As for the giant beasts, they were all insane, devoid of consciousness, venting their boundless fury on the Ascended Bodies of the New Era faction.

The Tree of Life's Nom face stared intently at Wu Pifu. Facing the three great demon kings and the ancient and mysterious creatures charging towards it, it waved its "arms," ​​and instantly, endless black flames rose up, almost obscuring most of the chaotic area of ​​the new era's Heavenly Dao.

Caught off guard, the three demon kings unleashed their supernatural powers, but they were unable to dodge in time and were immediately engulfed by the black flames. They screamed in agony as they desperately resisted. Bai Ze's flames gradually died down, and Lu Wu's distortion revealed its true nature, which was formed from extremely strong gravity. However, it could not stop the black flames from eroding it, and its flesh began to be contaminated, with patches of white and black.

Only the Kunpeng revealed its true nature under the black flames; it was a four-dimensional life form, resembling both a bird and a fish. Its size and shape varied depending on the viewing angle, because it existed in a four-dimensional state. Therefore, its full form could not be seen from a three-dimensional perspective. At the same time, the reason why the green light could dissolve everything with a single sweep was because it was a dimensional reduction attack from the four-dimensional level. Even an ascended body could not withstand such a dimensional reduction attack and was directly erased from its essence.

In essence, the black flames hadn't yet reached Kunpeng's body, but the four-dimensional space in which its body existed began to shrink rapidly. The shrinking speed was astonishing; at this rate, Kunpeng's four-dimensional space would be completely evaporated in a few minutes at most.

This black flame is the embodiment of infinite negativity.

The three demon kings all possessed some of the memories inherited from the ancient demon saint, so how could they not recognize this thing?

While Devil Fruits can manifest black flames, they are extreme yang created from extreme yin, and thus lack any evil. It can be considered a decent path to transcendence, even though its origin is extremely cruel.

However, this thing is truly a pure manifestation of negativity, it can contaminate everything, and its poison is the most potent in the world, unmatched by any other. Not to mention them, even if they are touched at the root, they will suffer a severe skin loss. At this time, they are all terrified and immediately want to retreat.

Kunpeng roared even louder, "Nom! How dare you destroy my treasure!?"

"roll!"

Amidst the billowing black flames, Norm focused solely on Wu Pifu. With a wave of the Tree of Life, he regarded these great demon kings and others as ants, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Wu Pifu.

"Give it to me!" Norm roared furiously.

Wu Pifu simply stepped forward with his knife, then suddenly chuckled and said disdainfully, "I thought it was something special, is that all?"

"You thing... you think you're worthy of being 'given' to me!?"

Facing the raging black flames, Wu Pifu neither dodged nor yielded, treating it as a gentle breeze. Wielding his death-defying greatsword, he slashed forward relentlessly. These black flames, which almost completely crushed the other ascended beings, vanished upon touching Wu Pifu, like water meeting the ocean. They didn't even pollute Wu Pifu, nor did they harm his skin. On the contrary, the purplish-black aura emanating from the perfect characteristics of Wu Pifu's current heroic form instantly annihilated any true spirit it touched. With a single sweep forward, the purplish-black aura enveloped the Tree of Life, spreading upwards, causing the entire Tree of Life to begin a chain reaction of collapse from its very roots.

"No, it's impossible!"

Norm's giant face showed shock, disbelief, and an incredulous expression of absurdity, and then she retreated in fear.

But at this very moment, the countless true spirits bound to the Tree of Life were cheering in unison. They endured the incredible pain and restraint, using all their remaining strength to rush towards the purplish-black aura emanating from Wu Pifu. Each of them frantically wanted to join in. This force actually stopped Norm's retreat for a moment, and instead made the Tree of Life rush closer to Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu calmly watched the endless stream of true spirits. He didn't even glance at Norm, but focused intently on each and every one of them, even though their numbers were in the billions. He wanted to use all his strength to see each and every one of them clearly... Even if he couldn't remember them all, he just wanted to see them. This was the last trace of their existence they left behind...

He saw Baghdad, he saw Gordi, he even saw Xu Ruonan, but he didn't stop any of them. He just watched quietly, his cloak fluttering past his eyes...

Wait a minute, why is the cloak in there too?

Wu Pifu subconsciously tugged back, and sure enough, the cloak was no longer behind him. He then saw the cloak lift its face slightly as it surged toward him with its purplish-black aura, its twisted mouth making a mouth shape.

Grass mud horse!
Well, it really was a cape, and it's just gone like that...

When the purplish-black aura had almost permeated the entire Tree of Life, turning it into a purplish-black color, and its underlying structure began to collapse, Wu Pifu finally turned his gaze to Norm.

Under the influence of the purplish-black aura, the large face began to disintegrate and decay, but Norm seemed to still want to struggle, and the distorted face trembled and struggled wildly.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Pifu arrived in front of this giant face. Even with his thousand-meter-tall heroic body, he was still as small as an ant in front of this giant face. However, when the giant face saw the "insect" arrive, the fear on its face was so distorted that it was enough to make people feel ferocious.

"No, no, no, it's not my fault. I'm just a pitiful person who was pushed into doing all this by countless people. It's not my fault, it's not my fault..."

"Shut up, and then..."

Wu Pifu wielded the knife with both hands, slashing downwards with a purplish-black aura that shattered the vacuum blade within five steps…

"Give me!"

"Give me your life!" With a single stroke, the entire face was split open, then vanished, shattered, and decayed. The last glimpse of his face still showed only resentment, fear, and unwillingness.

"Pah, inhuman!"

Wu Pifu sheathed his sword and stood there. Suddenly, he heard an extremely twisted and sinister laugh, which sounded like both crying and laughing. At the very center of the completely collapsed Tree of Life, an extremely solid black mass, carrying the last black flames, plummeted down. Ignoring the purplish-black aura, it showed no other signs except for that laugh-cry sound. It simply fell into the deepest part of the source displayed by the two Heavenly Daos and disappeared.

Wu Pifu stared thoughtfully at the dark mass. Suddenly, from the black flames that dissipated after the Tree of Life collapsed, the three demon kings and the surviving ancient and mysterious creatures surrounded Wu Pifu.

"Hehehe, look what this is."

Bai Ze laughed loudly with an exaggerated expression: "Mortal, did you ever think this day would come?! Weren't you so capable back then? Saying things like 'Come at me if you dare,' well, here we come! And now what? What can you do?"

Lu Wu said disdainfully, "Hurry up and finish it. There's almost nothing left over there. Hurry up, I haven't had any blood food of the sublime level in a long time, so we can't delay!"

Kunpeng said, "Without that endless negativity, we can just crush these mere mortals. Next, it will be our era, hehehe."

Three great demon kings, ancient gods, and strange creatures surrounded them.

Meanwhile, with the collapse of the Tree of Life, the chaotic domain of the new era's Heavenly Dao was immediately reduced by more than half. The power of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Era greatly increased, and mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon immediately appeared in its chaotic domain. The sublimated bodies blessed by the new era's Heavenly Dao were surrounded, beaten, and slaughtered by the sublimated bodies of the Primordial Era. In just a short time, at least five sublimated bodies were besieged, dismembered, and then swallowed alive on the battlefield.

In the primordial era, the law of the jungle prevailed, and while the way of Heaven was cruel, it was also impartial.

Wu Pifu ignored the powerful demons and ancient gods surrounding him and simply asked, "How much longer can you hold out?"

Chu Minghao said weakly and with a pale face, "Don't worry, after I switched to piloting you, I trained in this area. Given my current state of decline, I can last at least another hundred seconds before I die. Just focus on fighting!"

"One hundred seconds?"

"Let's go for the big one!"

Wu Pifu grinned menacingly.

The Tree of Life is his ultimate weapon, but he doesn't think it's necessary to let go of the Heavenly Dao of the new era, or even the Heavenly Dao of the primordial era, or even everything in this world. He just can't kill them all yet, but with the remaining hundred seconds, he must at least tear off a large chunk of flesh from this transcendent world!

Bai Ze lunged at Wu Pifu, only to be met by a massive sword measuring tens of millions of meters in length.

Flames soared around Bai Ze, his face still showing disdain. But the greatsword that had seemed so far away to him appeared at his neck in the blink of an eye, without any time interval. With a single slash, his innate fire, which could both attack and defend, except against the black flames, was as brittle as paper. It couldn't even block for a moment. In an instant, his head was completely severed off. Before he could take another step, Wu Pifu had his head in his hand.

"I can kill you."

With a crack, Wu Pifu crushed his head, and annihilation and decay surrounded him, leaving not a trace in a moment.

Bai Ze's remaining body immediately fell downwards, but it was still struggling to grow its head back. However, Wu Pifu's greatsword slashed down, ignoring Lu Wu's gravity distortion and Kunpeng's four-dimensional green light blocking its way. With one slash, the gravity distortion was directly shattered, and even the four-dimensional space was cut open. The aftershocks alone caused the two demon kings to burst open and bleed. With one slash, Wu Pifu cut through the two demon kings' obstruction and plunged the greatsword straight into Bai Ze's remaining body.

With a single strike, Bai Ze's remaining body crumbled and decayed inch by inch.

Two knives!

Just two cuts!

This ancient demon king, who had survived since the time of the Demon Saint, was instantly annihilated!
"What kind of attack power is this?"

"My four-dimensional treasure has been destroyed!?"

Lu Wu and Kunpeng were both greatly alarmed and terrified.

If it were just a characteristic within five steps, they could understand it. But that slash just now was not just about ignoring defenses within five steps, but rather about the essence of a vast and magnificent extraordinary power.

This mortal before them actually unleashed a supernatural power in that single strike that surpassed even the combined power of the two second-tier demon kings!

Ignoring everything else, Wu Pifu drew his sword and stood up, looking at Lu Wu. Then, as if deep in thought, he said, "You are... a tiger?"

Even the great demon kings have their pride; they wouldn't stoop to begging for mercy or turning tail and running away like Norm did. Lu Wu, forcing himself to muster his courage, shouted, "So what if it is!?"

In the next instant, Wu Pifu's entire humanoid hero form seemed to transform into a pitch-black void large enough to shatter the entire transcendental world. It was so vast that Lu Wu and Kunpeng's senses were completely consumed by this blackness. This blackness then materialized into a gigantic maw, which snapped open and took a bite...

Lu Wu is gone?

Kunpeng blinked its eyes within the four-dimensional treasure space, blinking at least a dozen times, and then...

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

Kunpeng let out a scream similar to that of a Norm woman, and turned to flee, harnessing the four-dimensional treasure space. However, in the instant of its escape, Wu Pifu swung his blade. With the enhancement of the Red Wolf title at this moment, the Vacuum Shattering Blade did not just cleave a spatial rift, but instead annihilated a large area of ​​chaotic space. Kunpeng's escape speed based on the four-dimensional treasure space actually brought it much closer to Wu Pifu, and it was already within five steps of Wu Pifu!
"Aaaaaaah... What are you? What are you...?"

With a single slash, Wu Pifu shattered the four-dimensional treasure space, from which a terrifying azure aura roared. However, Wu Pifu paid no heed; within five steps, nothing mattered. With a second slash, the aura was also annihilated. Then, a colossal demon tens of thousands of meters long, with the lower half of a fish and the upper half of a bird, fell from the shattered four-dimensional treasure space.

"Can't you tell? I'm human, a pure-blooded human!"

With the third slash, the shrieking of the fish-like, bird-like creature abruptly ceased...

At this moment, the encirclement and suppression of the new era's sublimated beings in the distance had mostly stopped. Apart from the mindless behemoths that were still frantically tearing and devouring, the rest of the old era's sublimated beings were all staring blankly at Wu Pifu.

"Do you remember now? You..."

Wu Pifu brandished his bloodless, death-defying broadsword, silently counting down to one hundred as he walked towards the group of sublimated beings... whether from the old era or the new era.

"Do you remember? The fear you felt back then."

Wu Pifu strode forward, and with each step he took, these sublimated beings collectively retreated a step.

Rumble!
In the primordial era, the Heavenly Dao was enraged, and countless bolts of lightning flashed across this chaotic world.

"Remember now? The one who beat you up like a dog?"

Wu Pifu turned his gaze toward the chaos.

Crack!

Lightning flashed and gathered, then slashed down at Wu Pifu.

"today!"

"Let me reinforce your memory again!!"

"The golden cudgel of the past, the death-defying blade of today! Remember this well!"

"Super Brain World!"

"Super Brain World!"

"Super Brain World!"

In an instant, Wu Pifu, Chu Minghao, and Liang Min simultaneously activated their super-brain world. Wu Pifu's sense of time entered the picosecond to femtosecond level, and at the same time, millions of past events appeared before his eyes...

From an unbelievable angle and direction, within a self-contained loop of information that is almost impossible to detect, Wu Pifu leaps up and slashes down with his sword...

It struck the very heavenly order!
With a single slash, a large chunk of the Heavenly Dao was severed!
