Eternal Night

Chapter 804 What kind of monster is this!

Wu Pifu didn't know just how terrifying the extraordinary beings at the True Spirit level were; he only knew that the enemy had appeared.

So long-winded!
Enemies appear, he kills them, or he gets killed by them—isn't that his daily routine?

He definitely wants to live, but the prerequisite for living is that the enemy is gone, so killing the enemy is his greatest guarantee of survival!

Emerging from the cave, Wu Pifu found himself in a clear blue sky. A night of heavy rain had cleared the dark clouds, and before him stood more than twenty humans.

Yes, he swears that's what humans are.

More than twenty bodies are human, genes are human, aura is human, and consciousness is human life... This is fucking human.

The only abnormal thing was their mental state. Their dazed eyes were just like those of drug addicts who were high on drugs, or even more exaggerated. They stood there like a bunch of idiots, completely bewildered.

Wu Pifu glanced at the twenty-odd humans and was filled with surprise, but he ignored them and strode off in a certain direction.

These twenty-odd humans... were all hardened warriors, martial artists, and strongmen!
Even though they were in a state of addiction similar to being high, their hard-earned bodies and fighting spirit were undeniably evident in Wu Pifu's eyes. Every single one of them was stronger than the Dan Jin martial artists he had encountered in the battle of redemption, second only to Wang Wudi at that time!
The strength here is not just in pure combat power, but in the strength of combat and martial arts cultivation methods. That's why Wu Pifu used "forged through countless trials" to describe these twenty-odd people.

It's unbelievable that so many powerful individuals have gathered together, especially in this desolate place. Something seems extremely wrong.

But the enemy isn't them...

Although Wu Pifu could no longer see the pipe that had retracted after its tip disappeared, some kind of inexplicable intuition still made him move forward quickly, trying to step over these five-folded creatures. As for whether these were humans, what state they were in, and why they were here, he could discuss that in detail after he dealt with the enemy.

But just as he was about to step past these twenty-odd humans, two humans suddenly appeared beside him, spanning over a hundred meters. One had both hands in claws, while the other had a single palm slamming down, attacking him from the left and right.

He couldn't sense any killing intent, but there was a malice even more overwhelming than killing intent. Goosebumps appeared on both sides of Wu Pifu's body, forcing him to take a half step back. Then he struck out with a palm in a circular motion, the enormous force generating a shockwave that blocked both the claw strike and the palm strike.

"Oh!"

The ground cracked slightly, raising dust, and the two were immediately thrown dozens of meters away.

However, Wu Pifu did not pursue. He frowned and looked at his palm. When he made contact with the claw strike, a piece of flesh and bone was missing from his palm. To be precise, a piece of flesh and bone about the size of a thumbnail was completely gone from his palm, and blood immediately gushed out from it.

There was no pre-emptive strike, no equivalent attack power; the entire palm area vanished the instant it made contact.

As for the other human's palm pressure, he didn't touch it; he was hit by the shockwave generated by the palm. Otherwise, that palm would probably have had a strange effect as well.

"...The power of the soul and spirit?"

Wu Pifu's hand writhed and healed completely in the blink of an eye. He watched as the twenty-odd humans strolled toward him. Just last night, he had heard Beelzebub mention the terror of the Heavenly Court's True Spirit Technique. He never expected to encounter an attack from these humans today, and they also possessed the characteristics of True Spirit.

He dared not delay any longer. He put down the three small animals (one of whom was a woman) and the golden tree bonsai he was holding in one hand, and then made a throwing motion. The strangeness of this action immediately made the twenty-odd people stop in their tracks.

"I choose you, Pikachu!"

The next second, Wu Pifu indeed "threw" himself out, but not to attack the twenty-odd people, but so that he could finally free his hands and fight with peace of mind.

"...So, we've arrived in the Dark Continent before we even started practicing?"

As time went by, the dazed look in the eyes of these twenty-odd humans subsided, and they seemed to gradually emerge from their high state. Their eyes not only began to sharpen, but their aura also changed rapidly.

These twenty-odd humans didn't rush to attack Wu Pifu immediately. Even when Wu Pifu threw himself out, freeing his hands and holding the suicide knife in one hand, and then began to twist his neck and arms, some people were still commenting on him.

"...That's strange."

An elderly man with long hair and a strong, muscular physique said, "I have never seen such a powerful body and such surging vitality, yet he has not yet awakened his spiritual powers."

Another beautiful woman with a slender figure chimed in, "The key is that this is the Dark Continent. He didn't even use his powers. How did he get past the gatekeeper's checkpoint?" "V5's masterpiece," a dashing and unrestrained young man chuckled. "The hope here is actually what V5 desires most—a perpetual motion machine with unlimited energy. But what's truly strange is... his physical body is too powerful. Is this really a physical body that humans can achieve?"

"...I suspect he's not alive, or have you all been so engrossed in your past happiness that you've forgotten your glorious past?"

A tall, cold-looking man sneered, "Look closely!"

The others were stunned for a moment, then they all stared at Wu Pifu, and in an instant, they all retreated a hundred meters away without the slightest hesitation.

"what is this!"

"What...no, what exactly is that thing?!"

"Another disaster? A humanoid disaster? But one that has broken through territorial boundaries?"

"...No, we can't afford to approach it recklessly. If this thing were to erupt, our world would become a terrifying hell!"

"Or rather, is this the legendary catastrophe?"

Although the arrival and presence of these twenty-odd humans were strange, at this moment, they were all deathly pale, trembling all over, looking at Wu Pifu with expressions as if they were encountering something incredibly terrifying. The dazed look in their eyes from before was completely gone.

Wu Pifu had already entered battle mode, completely ignoring the antics of the twenty-odd people. He simply brandished his death-defying broadsword and said, "This is the last warning. Get out of the way now. I can treat what just happened as an accident, since my companions were attacked and they're not in good condition. I have to eliminate the enemy immediately, so I won't just use my basic strength anymore. I'll start getting serious. I'll give you ten seconds to think it over and get out of the way, or else... no mercy!"

When Wu Pifu spoke, the twenty-odd people fell silent.

Then Wu Pifu ignored everything and started counting: "Ten, nine, eight..."

The long-haired old man with strong muscles said inexplicably, "It seems to be able to communicate and has sentience?"

"illusion!"

A bespectacled, seemingly frail young man pushed up his glasses and said, “This is something we can’t understand. You’ve already ‘seen’ it for sure, so don’t harbor any illusions. The reason it can speak, even has logic and coherence, and exhibits human characteristics, is simply imitation, understand? Imitation is like a robot or puppet imitating a human. It’s something wearing human skin; its language and behavior are all just imitations of humans. Don’t be complacent…”

The tall, burly man, whose expression had been cold just moments before, suddenly sighed, "It's ironic that we, reduced to such a state, are still able to fight one last battle to protect human civilization..."

The twenty-odd people looked at each other, and in each other's eyes they saw determination.

"Here, we'll use the power of the Beastmaster to stop it. We absolutely cannot let that thing cross Lake Möbius!"

In the next instant, the aura of the twenty-odd people suddenly changed drastically. In Wu Pifu's perception, they seemed to have grown countless times larger and stronger in an instant. However, from his perspective, they did not change in any particular way. Some had their hair grow longer, some had grown bigger, and some had their nails longer, but that was all.

Oh, and also, from what I can sense, these twenty-odd people are exuding an incredibly strong presence; even with my eyes closed, I can feel their burning aura.

but……

"so what!?"

Wu Pifu's forehead veins were bulging as he roared, "You guys really deserve to die! Insulting people like this in front of others, and using such foul language, you son of a bitch!"

Just as these twenty-odd people rushed forward, Wu Pifu unleashed his Human Immortal Martial Arts, sending surging shockwaves wildly outwards. The ground beneath his feet trembled, and with the slightest movement of his body, the sky seemed to shake.

He swung his death-defying sword in a wide arc and spun around in place.

The blade flashed out...

The surrounding hills were cut in two!
