Eternal Night

Chapter 806 Limitless Expansion
Wu Pifu stood unharmed amidst the invisible attack, lost in deep thought.

Currently, the special extraordinary powers possessed in this world can be divided into two types.

One type is his usual display of strength: power, speed, attack intensity, attack range, etc., which is no different from him and the other enemies he has encountered. It's just a back-and-forth exchange, and people die when they are killed. This is also largely in line with the strength of these people, except that it is increased several times due to the inexplicably expanded vitality.

The other type is a special attack that is completely invisible, unobservable, and even imperceptible. It has the characteristic of being impossible to resist. Even with his current strength, he cannot withstand the burden head-on. Once he is hit, he is likely to be killed instantly.

The one who just condensed everything within 300 meters into a cube shape—if he hadn't used the Super Brain World to attack the invisible barrier hundreds of times in succession, shattering it and escaping, he might have died inside… at least physically.

The power this old man is using now is the first type of power, but it has been amplified and strengthened for some inexplicable reason... but that's all.

The difference in their strength was an entire dimension. If compared from a conventional perspective, let alone these twenty-odd people, even more than twenty thousand beings of the same level would not be able to harm him in the slightest.

"...The key is the second attack method, which should be the extraordinary manifestation of the soul realm that Beelzebub mentioned."

By this time, Wu Pifu had flown at least tens of thousands of meters, crashing into two small mountain peaks. He let out a roar in mid-air, and the enormous impact force collapsed. Then his figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared on the original battlefield.

But to his surprise, just over two seconds later, the old man who had unleashed such terrifying power was already dead... His body rapidly shrank, turning into a palm-sized, withered, humanoid fruit with a similarly shrunken tube on its head.

“You guys…” Wu Pifu asked in surprise.

Just now, in the instant the old man unleashed his power, his vitality was so vigorous and powerful that it was comparable to a Martial Saint in the True Martial lineage. He was the kind of person who could truly shatter a small mountain with a single punch.

Based on its vitality just now, it could live for hundreds of years as easily as playing around. Even if its internal organs were broken, it could slowly heal. Even if it lost its heart, it could hold on for half a day before dying. But in just two or three seconds, its life force was completely exhausted, and it directly turned into this kind of horrific corpse.

"...Do you possess a secret technique that allows life force to erupt in an instant? Also, I can clearly sense the extremely strong killing intent and malice you harbor towards me. However, from your emotions, after learning that I am human, you no longer have that same murderous intent as before. So why do you continue to fight? Is it related to the human-breeding beast Pap that you mentioned?"

This is also why Wu Pifu didn't intend to show his emotions to these humans at first, because the killing intent and malice they unleashed were too obvious and too strong. So strong that if an ordinary person faced them directly, the killing intent and malice alone would be enough to make them faint, or even be scared to death.

This was even the reason why Wu Pifu decisively killed one of them with a single blow, but the emotional perception at the moment of killing him made him change his mind.

The dozen or so people all wore strange expressions, but their movements did not stop at all. They maintained their vigorous vitality and then attempted to launch an attack on Wu Pifu. The bespectacled youth shouted, "Use Ning! Look carefully! Can't you see it?"

"...What do you see?" Wu Pifu asked speechlessly.

The cold-faced youth immediately growled, "No, he didn't use Nian! He can't use Ning!"

The beautiful woman in the group immediately said, "Shall we unleash our power on him right here? Hey, you mysterious terror from the depths of the Dark Continent, stand still and let us strike you down, how about it?"

"No."

Several people in the team immediately shouted, "Our bodies are not in control of our own bodies. Once the attack begins, it will be a deadly move. We can't just use it to activate our Nen!"

The cold-faced youth also said, "Moreover, you need to consider his special characteristics. This kind of... deathly thought that is like the entire universe and can fill this world, as well as this terrifying spiritual will that is enough to bear this deathly thought, and a non-human physique that is more terrifying than any magical beast we know. Do you think our mental attacks alone can make him activate his mental powers?"

Everyone fell silent as the attack resumed, but this time there was no forced redirection; they struck empty air. Wu Pifu appeared several hundred meters away from them, speaking thoughtfully, "Judging from your words and your emotions, you are now powerless? Controlled? Controlled by that kind of conduit? Invisibly?"

Everyone remained silent, except for a one-eyed burly man in the group who shouted, "That's right! We've all been controlled by this terrifying calamity, the Human-Beast Pap. Attacking you wasn't our intention, so can you save us? There's a crater behind us, that's Pap's lair, and it's also where the 'No Man's Stone,' a source of hope, is born. If you can kill Pap now, maybe we can really survive."

Using his emotional perception, Wu Pifu looked into the distance. Then, he crouched slightly, jumped, and as the ground collapsed, he was already tens of thousands of meters away.

In an instant, the life force of these dozen or so people suddenly expanded and exploded, and then they chased after Wu Pifu at their maximum speed. At the same time, all of them looked at the one-eyed strong man with resentful expressions.

The one-eyed burly man roared, “But I still want to live! Although living in that dream allows me to have whatever I want, it’s just a dream. I can’t break free. It would take an unimaginable amount of willpower to break free, and even if I did, I wouldn’t be a match for you who are ‘raising’ me. But I still want to go back to my hometown! And I’m different from you. I’ve only been ‘raised’ for over thirty years, unlike you who have been collected for hundreds or even thousands of years. I still have hope of living! Even if I escape ‘raising’ me, I’ll be at most sixty years old. I want to go back and see my son, my daughter, and my Amina, my lover. Perhaps she’s still alive…”

Unbeknownst to the one-eyed strongman, as his life force rapidly expanded, the inside of his skin had begun to wither subtly. He continued to talk incessantly, while the other dozen or so remained silent. They had no reason to refute him, nor did they intend to.

On the other side, in just four or five seconds, Wu Pifu had already covered a distance of over 100,000 meters and arrived at a depression basin in a hilly mountain range. There were deep pits and caves everywhere, and he felt something strange about each one. It seemed as if there were hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of lives inside, but upon closer inspection, they were all empty.

"...Is this where the pipe creature lives?"

Wu Pifu stopped, raised his suicidal broadsword, and was about to slash into the basin when, one after another, humans emerged from the dense array of pits before him. These humans were old or young, male or female. Wu Pifu even saw pregnant women and infants among them. Unlike the dozen or so humans from before, these people were all dressed in clean, tight-fitting, technologically advanced clothing, and each of them had a tube inserted into the back of their head. They all stood before the pits with their eyes closed.

Wu Pifu could no longer swing his sword, because in his emotional perception, these were all real humans, not illusions. Although they were clearly being controlled, he genuinely could not bring himself to kill hundreds of thousands of people with a single strike.

Just then, the dozen or so humans, radiating an incredibly strong life force, caught up. When they saw Wu Pifu standing outside the massive crater, staring motionless at the hundreds of thousands of people densely packed before him, the one-eyed burly man roared urgently, "Don't be fooled! These people are actually dead. What exists here is just an illusion of their continued existence! Charge in! Kill the Beast Nurturing Pap! Otherwise..."

Wu Pifu ignored it and continued to sense the emotions of the hundreds of thousands of people in front of him with surprise.

Then, more than ten martial artists with bursting vitality rushed over. The first to be hit was the beautiful woman who had suggested opening Wu Pifu's mind. When they were about ten meters apart, Wu Pifu suddenly sensed something was wrong.

His perception of time had changed between him and this beautiful woman.

Everything around seemed to freeze, and the beautiful woman's voice rang in Wu Pifu's ears: "It's no use. You can neither save us nor these ancestors. They have already passed through eternity. What remains here is merely a mark of their existence. Be careful. I don't even know how strong I really am now. Based on the oath and constraints I made after being 'raised,' my instantaneous speed has become so powerful that I myself am unaware of it..."

But before he could finish speaking, when the beautiful woman was at least five meters away from Wu Pifu, Wu Pifu glared at her, and the world instantly turned black and white. Then, the beautiful woman also froze, and only Wu Pifu could move.

"It's okay, I can do that too."

In the blink of an eye, Wu Pifu appeared in mid-air, while the beautiful woman rushed at least a thousand meters away. While she was still running, she withered and turned into a palm-sized humanoid fruit.

Immediately afterwards, the one-eyed strong man involuntarily leaped up. His face was full of despair and pain, but his body muscles bulged and his life force burst forth. He pulled his hands upwards, and an invisible pressure that covered an area of ​​at least tens of thousands of square kilometers descended from the sky, forcefully pushing Wu Pifu back to the ground from mid-air. Then, the one-eyed strong man withered and turned into a humanoid fruit.

Then came the bespectacled, thin man. He only had time to say "be careful" before endless zeros and ones shot out from his glasses and pupils. These zeros and ones filled the surrounding space, rendering the entire valley into a program panel of zeros and ones. Then, the bespectacled, thin man also withered and turned into a humanoid fruit.

Wu Pifu did not attack, but silently watched everything happen. He saw more than a dozen people rushing over, and the rest of them were thrown into the sea of ​​zero and one data one after another, turning into some kind of unknown substance. Only the cold-looking long-haired youth did not move forward, but squatted on the ground. Endless zero and one numbers began to surge into his body, and finally all disappeared into his body.

"And then?" Wu Pifu asked, puzzled.

The cold, long-haired youth slowly stood up. He twisted his arms and neck, took a few deep breaths, and said to Wu Pifu, "It's truly amazing. This is perhaps the most exaggerated constraint and oath ever. It's a pity you can't use your incantation to see this astonishing scene. It's such a shame that such a scene remains unknown..."

Wu Pifu, on the contrary, said seriously, "No, although I did not recite anything, nor did I have the condensation you mentioned, I am not blind, and I also have other extraordinary senses, so how could I not see anything?"

Wu Pifu looked up at the sky. Just as everyone else had turned into withered humanoid fruits, only this cold, long-haired youth remained. Above him, the entire sky was shaking violently. His mere existence was enough to change the atmosphere of the sky. This was a being who had reached the physical body of a human immortal just by exposing his aura.

"No, no, no, that's why I said you don't have Nian and can't use Ning, so you can't see this exaggeratedly terrifying scene. What a pity." The cold-looking long-haired youth chuckled.

His expression gradually became ferocious. At the same time, he adopted a crouching posture and said, "Zoldyck family head, formerly... I am an assassin, watch out."

Wu Pifu clasped his hands slightly and said, "Wu Pifu, I've met you."

The next second, the mountain collapsed.

Meanwhile, far away from this hilly area, on the sea or lake, a wrecked, enormous ship had just docked.

A tall, strong man with black hair and a face full of scars was looking excitedly at the endless land. Then, he and dozens of people behind him looked into the distance in horror.

In their eyes, endless thoughts erupted on the horizon, and then...

It filled the entire world!
