Eternal Night

Chapter 819 Hell
Wu Pifu used his immortal martial arts internal energy to propel the entire colossal ship into flight.

Immortal Martial Arts Internal Skill possesses anti-gravity properties, which is also the core condition for lightness skills in martial arts. After learning Immortal Martial Arts, Wu Pifu was able to float and fly immediately, which is the anti-gravity effect brought about by Immortal Martial Arts Internal Skill.

Now he is much stronger than before, especially after eating the Perfect Fruit. As time goes by, his overall strength, physique, and extraordinary abilities are increasing proportionally and imperceptibly. This is not the kind of forced growth, but rather as if his own limits have been expanded, and his original capacity of ten has been increased to fifteen.

While it certainly can't compare to the spiritual elevation achieved through the path of sublimation, this effect is still nothing short of miraculous.

The average human's maximum speed is around nine to ten seconds for 100 meters. You directly increased that limit, going from nine seconds to five seconds for 100 meters...

If this isn't defying the heavens, then what is?

This is infinitely more powerful and precious than simply increasing one's strength!
Wu Pifu is now able to make this super-giant ship float in the air simply by releasing his internal energy. He even feels that this is not his limit. If he wants, he can increase the mass of the ship floating in the air by more than ten times. He can even make a small mountain float in the air!

So at first, he would fly outside and subconsciously use his head to support the ship. Later, he got tired of it and went straight inside the ship. It was just like flying on a magical artifact in those cultivation novels. As long as he output his internal energy, the ship could fly even without physical contact.

This power naturally shocked all the Nen users once again.

It's not that there aren't any Nen abilities that can control objects; in fact, there are far too many. Whether it's the manipulation type, the emission type, or even the conjuration type and the transformation type, they all have methods or abilities that can control objects.

However, no one could fly on this ship, and they flew for more than two days at more than seventy times the speed of sound!
Impossible, absolutely impossible! !

Everyone was once again convinced that the dimensional difference between them and Wu Pifu was insurmountable. Regardless of their thoughts and filth, amidst this overwhelming evidence, their gazes towards Wu Pifu were filled with unparalleled clarity and kindness.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Soon, what appeared at the edge of the land was a swampy area with a large amount of tall weeds. Occasionally, there were open spaces in the swamp without any vegetation. Although it was called a swamp, these open spaces with water sources were large enough to support an entire giant ship, or even multiple ships.

So Wu Pifu simply threw the giant ship into a pond at the very edge of the swamp.

"From here on, the ship cannot move forward."

After Wu Pifu disembarked from the ship, he went inside and said to Peter Yang and the others, "My personal suggestion is that you stay here. I'll go in and get the longevity food, Nitrogen, as much as you can. You really don't need to take any risks."

Peter Young and the others stood up immediately; their attire indicated that they were prepared, which made Wu Pifu sigh inwardly.

Paris smiled and said, "May I ask, sir, why are we stopping here? Is there something ahead?"

Wu Pifu thought for a moment and said, "There is danger. It may be the disaster you mentioned, something called the Twin-Tailed Serpent Hell Bell. However, I haven't seen it yet, so I can't be sure."

(Precognition? Or something else?)
The people present immediately had this guess in their minds, but they didn't ask any further questions. They stood up and looked at Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu could only say, "Since you've all made your decision, fine, I'll just take a little longer... How do you plan to get into this swamp? Walking is definitely not an option, the water is very deep in some places."

Nen abilities do have some ways to allow one to walk on water.

However, everyone knew that they were about to enter a forbidden area of ​​the Dark Continent. Over the past countless years, countless humans had come here to explore, coveting the longevity food inside, but only one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand, had survived. They had to maintain their intact condition to deal with any danger.

"hovercraft."

Peter Young immediately said, "We have made complete plans and preparations for this trip, and we can use hovercraft to move across this swamp."

Wu Pifu nodded and walked out of the room, giving everyone on the ship three hours to assemble and prepare.

"We will depart in three hours. I will proceed at your average pace, but I will not wait for you or protect you in times of danger. Once you disembark, be prepared to die. If you have such determination and intend to follow along, then come on."

The entire ship was immediately thrown into chaos.

Although many people had vowed to follow, when the time came, especially when they saw this boundless, desolate swamp, many had second thoughts. About a third of the Nen users decided to stay and not go any further, while more than two-thirds of the ordinary people decided to stay. Only the oldest, those with little lifespan and who could die at any moment decided to continue following.

In the end, a total of more than 1,600 people decided to move forward, including 122 Nen users and more than 1,500 ordinary people. This number still exceeded Wu Pifu's expectations.

Regardless, three hours later, the group set off. Besides the medium-sized hovercraft used by Peter Young's team, there were several other vehicles: motorboats, wooden boats, sailboats, and escape boats prepared by the wealthy... more like luxury yachts, but much sturdier, and loaded with various firearms and heavy weapons. Wu Pifu, leading Lei Chi, the small animals, and the golden tree, hovered in mid-air, clearing the way.

This swamp is indeed strange. You don't notice it at the outer edge, but as you go inward from the giant ship, less than 20 kilometers in, the sky immediately becomes gloomy and dark at a visible speed. The sky seems to be pressing down very low, as if a storm is about to break.

"...This isn't a cloud."

Wu Pifu landed on Peter Young's boat and said to Peter Young and the others, "It's not too late to turn back now, why bother? Life is so beautiful."

Peter Young and the others remained silent. Jin asked, "Are you sure it's not clouds in the sky?"

Wu Pifu looked up at the sky and said, "It's definitely not clouds, because if it were clouds, they would be gone by now."

The crowd was puzzled, but Wu Pifu didn't bother to explain.

He had already tried using his domineering aura, but it couldn't dispel the darkness in the sky. This wasn't a cloud, but some other supernatural force, and it wasn't anything negative either. He was extremely sensitive to negative influences outside of living beings.

Meanwhile, on the yacht where Kurapika's team was, the short, bald dwarf suddenly began to tremble.

"Kura, I have a bad feeling!"

Kurapika looked at him with a puzzled expression and said, "Melody, did you hear something? By the way, your hearing is extremely sharp, beyond all of ours, which can serve as a warning."

The short, bald dwarf had a very nice name, Melody. She shook her head vigorously and said, "No, my hearing started to fail after I came to this swamp. No, it's not that it failed, it's something else, I don't understand... I can't hear any sounds now, but I have a terrible premonition. Really, believe me, Kurapika."

Kurapika comforted him, "Of course I believe you. We're comrades, aren't we? So... what exactly is this premonition?"

Melody covered her ears and hissed, "I don't know, I don't know, it's so scary, so scary... Kurapika, let's go back, we don't want to go in, please, don't go in!"

Kurapika looked at the other dozen or so Nen users from the Hunter Guild on the ship with a troubled expression. A female character with dog ears stepped forward and said, "Melody, you're stressed. Do you need me to give you some emotional stabilizer?"

Xuanlu had already knelt down, tears and snot streaming down her face. She was whispering unintelligible words, and everyone around her was staring at her in bewilderment.

Suddenly, Melody looked up sharply, seemingly regaining some of her senses. She spoke to Kurapika in rapid succession, "I remember now, I remember everything, Kurapika! This is the sound of the Dark Sonata! Yes, it's the sound of the Demon King's composition that turned me into this and caused my friend's tragic death. Although it hasn't started playing yet, this is the prelude to that melody. Ahead, ahead lies the Demon King's homeland! We can't, we absolutely cannot..."

"Snapped."

The dog-eared woman suddenly reached out and knocked Melody unconscious. She said to Kurapika, "No, she's too agitated, and her Nen is even starting to get confused. Let her sleep for a bit."

Kurapika nodded silently.

At this moment, So walked over from the side. He had dressed himself up as a clown, but his face was not painted with color, only with some teardrop-like patterns. He said, "The previous battle was very steady, but here it suddenly went berserk. Moreover, the disaster here is called Hell's Bell, and it seems that both Hell's Bell and Dark Sonata are sound-related things."

Cool stretched out his hand, the chain on his hand pointing straight ahead, and immediately shouted, "Speed ​​up! Peter Young and his crew's ship, make sure they don't get more than a hundred meters away from this ship!"

Naturally, someone on the ship started driving and accelerating.

Whether it was instinct or not, after Kurapika's small yacht, the other boats also began to accelerate by various means, all trying to get closer to Peter Young's boat at the front.

At this moment, Wu Pifu, along with three small animals and the golden tree, was flying about three hundred meters ahead. He sat upright in mid-air, his senses beginning to expand, but he did not find any snake-like creatures in the swamp.

Suddenly, at that moment, he heard a tune, and the instant he heard it, he "threw" himself out.

It's an incredibly beautiful piece of music, so beautiful it's breathtaking.

But in this piece of music, Wu Pifu saw hell!
