Eternal Night

Chapter 861 The Great Era
Wu Pifu stood there thoughtfully.

There was no blood on the blade, but a strange and violent aura lingered, slowly dissipating.

He slain a part of Sersis...

That half-giant, half-demon thing wasn't strong at all. Compared to the Primordial Evil Being, it was incredibly weak. In terms of strength and speed, it was at least half as weak as him. As for its twenty-meter size, although it was enormous, it represented more the intensity of its life force.

However, you should know that even within my own space of death-fighting spirit, his "commoner" title still has some effect. He can kill anyone within five meters without hesitation. His large size is a standard disadvantage for him... a disadvantage for the enemy.

What truly puzzled him was that Titan Demon Ancestor Cesis was much weaker than he had expected. Not to mention compared to the Primordial Evils, he was much weaker than him. His strength and speed were only half as weak as Cesis's. However, if you take into account Cesis's title of "commoner," his combat techniques, his Death-Seeking Blade, and so on, it wouldn't just be a matter of being half or half as weak in a real fight. It would be an overwhelming defeat.

In fact, after the killing, Wu Pifu only suffered minor injuries... the legally defined kind, which means there was no serious injury to bones or internal organs, only skin, muscle, and bleeding injuries.

Wu Pifu's spiritual energy entered a state of near-extinction again, but he sensed that it was only slightly damaged compared to the previous state, and it would heal completely in about five days.

Sersis is too weak!

Even if it's the root of the Zero Point Three Dream World, this intensity is completely abnormal.

Or……

"I only destroyed the part of the Titan Demon Ancestor's self?"

Wu Pifu had a guess in his mind.

Although the Titan Demon Ancestor only has this one origin, the Dao Transformation and the Self are actually two completely different concepts, just like the Eternal Mother.

The Eternal Mother who arrived at the Land of Redemption had completely opened her heart, allowing Wu Pifu, Chu Minghao, and Liang Min, the three super-brains, to freely perceive her emotions. Perhaps it could be faked, but at least the emotions the three sensed were genuinely compassionate and self-sacrificing, which was completely different from the terrifying Eternal Mother that Wu Pifu had encountered.

If it's merely the self-aspect of the Titan Demon Ancestor, then that demonstrates its weakness...

"Hehe, so the remaining Titan Demon Ancestor is just the Dao Transformation part, wouldn't that make him an idiot?"

Wu Pifu couldn't help but chuckle when he thought back to when he killed the Primordial Evil. He found such a powerful being, though brainless, quite endearing.

He's only gotten half the revenge... but he still remembers all the grudges from the Super Soldier Dream World!
So many humans in the world, and in the end only a small village remained, along with the Azure Organization from that world. Such heroes and valiant individuals, yet ultimately their efforts were in vain...

Finally, we must have another battle. We must completely slay the Titan Ancestor Sersis to avenge ourselves!

By the time Wu Pifu sheathed his sword and regained his senses, Zhang Xuer and Es had already led more than two hundred people, plus three elderly martial artists, with these five as their leaders. The two hundred people clasped their fists and said, "Senior Brother is mighty!"

Wu Pifu was immediately speechless. Luckily, they didn't call him "Wen Cheng Wu De" (meaning "civilized and martial virtue"), otherwise his fists, as big as sandbags, would have really hit him.

Seeing Wu Pifu's expression, Zhang Xuer immediately said, "I've found out. This branch of the family are descendants of the Chan Nian Temple, considered direct descendants of the Zhenwu lineage. At its peak, the Chan Nian Temple produced six cultivators who had reached the highest level of spiritual cultivation, spanning three dream worlds, and had hundreds of thousands of disciples. It was quite a large sect. Unfortunately, by now, only these few hundred disciples remain..."

Several elderly martial artists bowed their heads and remained silent, while the more than two hundred disciples behind them all shed tears. Although there was no sound of crying, the scene was truly pitiful.

Wu Pifu couldn't stand this kind of thing. If it were a coward crying, he wouldn't even glance at it. But when these two hundred-plus martial artists came in, he saw them fighting to the death against the enemy, including two powerful cultivators at the Ascended Body level. They didn't beg for mercy or run away. Their crying at this moment left Wu Pifu speechless.

He suppressed the murderous aura that had just dissipated before speaking gently: "Although my knowledge is quite diverse, I can still be considered a martial artist who practices the True Martial lineage. So, greetings, everyone."

Wu Pifu also clasped his hands in greeting, and everyone exchanged pleasantries, instantly creating a harmonious atmosphere.

The three men exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise and joy. The elder in the lead immediately said, "Senior brother has saved our sect and the world. We are deeply grateful. You may take everything that belongs to our sect. This is not the place to talk. Please come with us back to the sect." Wu Pifu readily agreed. The battle had been "easily fought," taking only a short while. Even if he stayed a little longer, it wouldn't take much time to get back.

Upon seeing Wu Pifu nod in agreement, everyone beamed with joy and escorted him towards a distant snow-capped mountain.

Everyone present was a martial artist, and even the weakest among them had reached the Tendon Refining level. At this point, they were running quite fast. In addition, they clearly had a set of combined attack techniques similar to an array. The strong and the weak were united in their aura, and they were running quite fast. Gradually, they all broke the sound barrier and arrived at the foot of the snow mountain in no time.

Here, the group split up. The weakest members stayed at a branch courtyard with a main hall at the foot of the mountain. Those of medium to high strength stayed halfway up the mountain. The strongest members and the three elders entered the main courtyard at the summit. Wu Pifu was led to the main hall and sat on a high seat. The others sat below him, and servants served fruit wine, which eased the atmosphere.

Only then did Ace ask, "Fellow disciples, why were you discovered by the extraterrestrial demons?"

An old man said indignantly, "Since the world changed drastically three months ago, we remembered some fragments of our ancestors' instructions. Later, we searched through ancient books and found that our ancestors said that if there were any major changes in the world, our True Martial lineage would be able to emerge. That's why we activated the Heaven-Shattering Array left by our ancestors. But we were also very careful and planned to gather some information first. But who knew that as soon as we left the Shattered Domain, we encountered extraterrestrial demons, who even bewitched people and caused many of our disciples to betray us..."

Estun sighed repeatedly. Seeing that Wu Pifu didn't understand, Zhang Xuer explained, "My Zhenwu lineage split off and became the two major powers of the Zhenwu Galaxy..."

The three old men's expressions changed drastically, but seeing that Es and Wu Pifu made no comment, they also refrained from speaking and continued to sit in their original positions.

Zhang Xuer continued, "Originally, even if the Star River lineage split, it wouldn't have become a taboo for the True Martial lineage. The most crucial factor was actually the extraterrestrial demons... The extraterrestrial demons originated from the remnants of an unknown ancient civilization. When the Star River lineage was about to rise, it was killed by the True Martial Ancestor. Then, the Star River lineage used the power of the extraterrestrial demons to finally break free from its shackles and split the True Martial lineage. However, this also allowed the extraterrestrial demons to absorb the civilization imprint and underlying rules of the True Martial lineage. From then on, the True Martial lineage became the target of the extraterrestrial demons... No, not only the True Martial lineage, but the Star River lineage also suffered. It's truly a case of reaping what you sow..."

Wu Pifu asked doubtfully, "From your description, it sounds like they're natural enemies..."

Es said with a bitter face, "They are natural enemies... These extraterrestrial demons are remnants of an ancient civilization. In fact, they have lost their civilization and even their extraordinary paths are incomplete. They have even lost the ability to 'feed'. Because of the Star River lineage, the extraterrestrial demons have anchored themselves to my True Martial lineage. They can feed on us. We are like their special supplements. Moreover, they specifically restrain my True Martial lineage. Those with weak wills will be easily bewitched and turned into their puppets. The deformed ones that Senior Brother just saw are like that."

Wu Pifu nodded slightly. Looking out from the entrance of the main hall, he saw that this world was actually very small, like a slightly larger isolated island. Beyond the edge of the continent was nothingness. This was the first time he had ever seen such a dream world.

An old man noticed Wu Pifu's confusion and immediately said, "It's normal that you haven't seen this before, senior brother. This is a shattered world... Back then, my Zhenwu lineage was wiped out by the Heavenly Court, and even our ancestor was captured. The remaining members fled in all directions. My Chan Nian Temple branch escaped into the Shattered Domain, which is a chaotic dark domain. It is a gathering place for shattered dream worlds like this. It is vast and boundless, and full of chaos, which is why we escaped the pursuit and the pursuit of the extraterrestrial demons... Many fragments of shattered dream worlds flow there, and at the same time, many fragments of lost civilizations or remnants of ancient civilizations that have perished also gather there."

Wu Pifu's heart stirred, and his spiritual senses inexplicably trembled, as if this shattered domain was related to him, but he couldn't figure out what the connection was.

While everyone was still talking, Zhang Xuer asked the old man, "But it's strange. When my Zhenwu lineage suffered a calamity, the extraterrestrial demons were also wiped out by the Heavenly Court. We fled, and they didn't fare any better. Why did they come out with you when you were just born?"

The elders exchanged glances, and one of them said, “After the upheaval three months ago, not only did we emerge, but many hidden races, past civilizations, remnants of ancient civilizations, and even many hidden origins also emerged. In just these few days, we have seen more than a hundred civilizations, races, and forces. According to the ancient books left behind by our ancestors, there are quite a few powerful races and forces among them. Don’t you three senior brothers know this?”

Zhang Xuer and Es naturally had no idea what a dramatic change was, and Wu Pifu had only heard what the Eternal Mother had said, but he really didn't know the specifics.

The three elders were puzzled, but they could tell that Wu Pifu was incredibly powerful, and the other two were clearly disciples of major sects, or even super sects. So, they naturally clung to their coattails and recounted in detail what they had seen and heard over the past few months, especially the dramatic changes.

“...Three months ago, terrifying fluctuations swept through the entire Dream World, including the Shattered Domain. Besides us, at least the remnants of civilizations such as the New Testament Angels, the Old Testament Angels, the orthodox demon race, the demon race, the Saiyan race, and the Soul race were also born.”

"...Just the sources we vaguely know of are eight that are engaged in a chaotic battle in the mid-level dream world..."

"...We also saw the emergence of Buddhist forces. Do you know who it is? Guanyin Bodhisattva, now known as the Eternal Mother. But strangely, their forces are fighting amongst themselves..."

"The middle layer of the entire dream world is in complete chaos, with over a hundred forces vying for the truth and aiming for the higher levels. They want to confront the true civilization of this era! I've heard that this true civilization has only been in the dream world for a hundred or two hundred years, its foundation still in the absolute truth layer—weak yet fertile, practically a super fat sheep. We even want to go and make a fortune together, a fortune, a fortune..."

As they were talking, the three old men couldn't continue, because Wu Pifu's face began to darken, while Zhang Xuer and Es looked at Wu Pifu cautiously.

Wu Pifu said to the old man with a forced smile, "I'm really sorry..."

"...My race and I are that super fat sheep."
