Eternal Night

Chapter 905 These rules... are protecting you weaklings!

Wu Pifu covered hundreds of meters in a single step, reaching a speed of around 700 meters per second, which is twice the speed of sound, and this was achieved by a mortal body.

Before him stood six Ascended Beings and one Heavenly Court Visitor; they... could not escape!
Far away in the city, the six sublimated beings suddenly trembled, a reaction that arises from the instinct of life... when faced with death, destruction, and an invincible foe, no, a natural enemy.

The sublimated beings possess a perfect self, so they cannot misjudge. Soon, they understood the reason for the body's natural trembling, which infuriated them, but also filled them with even greater fear.

The emergence of this instinct is the most terrifying thing, which means that within this space, no matter what they do, they can never be a match for Wu Pifu, absolutely not...

The sacrifice continues, a frenzied and terrifying sacrifice. This is not just simple killing, but rather using the mind control of ordinary people to disrupt the rules anchored by the cognitive anchors of ordinary people in the space. It is like exploiting a bug. Theoretically, as long as there are enough ordinary people in the space being sacrificed, it is possible to actually break the rule prohibiting the extraordinary, and even destroy the space itself.

The premise is that... the true essence of the souls of Wu Pifu and Nightmare, which form the underlying structure of this space, cannot bear it.

So it was only theoretical, but at this point something changed, because two of the three nightmares died, and the remaining nightmare gradually began to drift into its final moments...

As the sacrifices continued, the number of ordinary people in the city had decreased by at least 70%. Then, when they reached a certain critical point, the six ascended beings suddenly shuddered. Their monstrous flesh and blood gradually began to return to human form, and at the same time, a visible halo began to emanate from their bodies.

"...My strength is beginning to recover."

An ascended being smiled, and a halo began to gather around its body, appearing at the tip of its finger. Then it gently waved its hand towards the street in front of it, and a ray of light flashed past, suddenly splitting a shop on the street in front of it into two pieces, severing everything within a diameter of about fifty meters.

The extraordinary power... is beginning to recover!

"not enough!"

On the other side, a sublimated being merely moved its mind, and the halo transformed into ice crystals, freezing an area within a hundred meters around it. The temperature was so low that even glass shattered into powder, but it was not satisfied.

"Compared to that monster, this level of extraordinary power is far from enough. More, more sacrifices, let that monster see what true power is!"

"That's right! This monster who only dares to hide in the isolated supernatural space is just familiar with this place and has become skilled through practice. Let's show him the real power!"

Although they regained their supernatural powers, these ascendants remained uneasy, and the sacrifices and killings continued.

On the rooftop of a building unseen by them, Six Eyes also appeared, panting heavily. As its supernatural power recovered, its physical body began to heal gradually. The aura around it was more than three times stronger than that of other sublimated beings, but it concealed it using its special properties. As its supernatural power gradually recovered, it slowly calmed down.

"...Not enough, that monster... Damn, I have six eyes! That creature is too strange, there's definitely something eerie about it, and thinking back on our conversation, it seems he knew I was coming back to attack him. Why? Not enough, my strength is far from recovered. I'm going to crush this bug!"

Six Eyes looked towards a certain area outside the city. It could also sense Wu Pifu rapidly approaching, but...

"It's too late! The restriction on supernatural power is weakening and starting to lift. I'm now more than ten times stronger than you just showed, but that's not enough. I'll crush you, you bug, you bug!!"

Then... when Wu Pifu walked out of the smoke and dust into the city, which was filled with corpses and blood, six sublimated beings floated in the air. Although their physical bodies still retained their human form, huge phantoms had already condensed behind them. These were their sublimated beings. At the same time, their aura alone caused a whirlwind around them, and the entire earth seemed to tremble slightly.

Wu Pifu didn't even glance at them, but looked at the tall building behind them.

The six ascendants seemed to sense something as well, and then they saw a six-eyed behemoth suddenly expand. Although it was only a fleeting moment, a boy with six pupils fell from the tall building. At that moment, the six ascendants fell silent.

"...Leaving aside you all, you have done a great service this time, helping me break through the shackles of this space, and you deserve a reward."

The boy didn't even glance at the six ascended beings. He strode through the air and arrived in the sky diagonally above Wu Pifu. He simply raised one palm and said, "But you... you injured the body of a Celestial Master, a crime unforgivable! I wanted to elevate you, but the world is foolish. You are not worthy!"

"What about you? Do you still want this space?"

The six ascended beings trembled and bowed in unison, saying, "We dare not, we will follow the Celestial Master's arrangements!"

Celestial Master of the Heavenly Court!

Individuals with even a slight understanding of ancient knowledge know that the strongest Heavenly Court in ancient civilizations has always been accepting the true geniuses of various civilizations to join. Its system is divided into Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals from bottom to top, and above the Heavenly Generals are Heavenly Masters, who are already at the cadre level in the Heavenly Court, far beyond what these impoverished individuals can compare to.

Compared to the various monarchs and emperors above the Celestial Master level, Celestial Masters can travel in the middle and upper levels of the Dream World. They are the outward representatives and special envoys of the Heavenly Court, and are also known as Heavenly Court Walkers. They are the Heavenly Court's strongest regular combat force in its external wars!
Six Eyes nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand at Wu Pifu from afar. In an instant, space twisted and fractured, and Wu Pifu's limbs all fell into the spatial demarcation lines, flashing past in a blink. Then, the earth behind him was cleaved open like a mirror, and these spatial demarcation lines even affected areas thousands of meters away, causing the entire land to collapse and churn. "Now, kneel down, you bug!" Six Eyes growled.

The six sublimated beings also shouted and questioned.

Then, the dust settled, and Wu Pifu stood unharmed. He even patted the dust off himself, and his body began to grow at a visible speed, from infancy to adolescence, to youth, to adulthood, and finally, a two-meter-tall human man appeared before them.

Then he reached forward and pulled out a large knife.

"...What exactly caused you to have these misconceptions?"

"Do you really believe that I have sealed this space from the extraordinary? Do you really believe that a world devoid of the extraordinary is my strongest state?"

In the blink of an eye, Wu Pifu's figure disappeared from the spot, and a powerful wave of energy surged outwards. An invisible spatial displacement zone appeared between Six Eyes and Wu Pifu. Wu Pifu slashed at this spatial displacement zone, and it wasn't until Wu Pifu reappeared that Six Eyes and the six sublimated beings could clearly see his action.

Veins bulged on its forehead as it roared, "You insect, don't be so arrogant! You think you can get away with this...?"

Before it could finish speaking, the spatial displacement barrier that it had considered indestructible was actually cleaved into by the greatsword. Then, the spatial displacement barrier was actually broken open, and in the next instant, Wu Pifu's greatsword was already in front of its face.

"Go!"

Six-Eyed's aura flowed and flickered, intersecting with that of an Ascended Being behind it. Then, right before everyone's eyes, although the Ascended Being was hastily slain, at the very moment the greatsword was about to strike, all of its extraordinary power condensed into matter, forming a layer of strange substance that enveloped its perfect characteristics and blocked the greatsword.

"This is mine..."

Before the words were even finished, the greatsword sliced ​​into the strange substance as easily as a hot knife through butter, without any resistance. It cut through in one stroke, regardless of the transformation of the sublimated body's physical form and its extraordinary rampage. The sublimated body's true form wanted to descend into this world, but when the greatsword was about to strike, all its efforts were in vain. In a flash, Wu Pifu appeared behind the sublimated body, while the sublimated body stood frozen in place, its body beginning to annihilate and dissipate.

The blade, though worn for death, remains unstained by blood or dust.

The five surviving Ascended Beings, ignoring Six-Eyed's rage at using them as scapegoats, roared. The colossal Ascended Beings behind them roared and unleashed their power, their extraordinary energy surging and boiling, each poised to unleash a terrifying attack on Wu Pifu. Then…

The world turned into a black and white expanse, and at the same time, they fell into a state of stillness. Their physical bodies, spiritual consciousness, extraordinary energy, and even their sublimated bodies and perfect characteristics... were all frozen in place, except for a sound that they vaguely heard.

"Get this straight, this rule that forbids the extraordinary... is to protect you inhuman weaklings!!"

Then, in the next instant, they knew nothing more...

Six Eyes was still on high alert when a black and white flash appeared before its eyes. The five sublimated beings beside it were all shattered and then annihilated inch by inch. Behind it, a large knife fell to its neck, and Wu Pifu's voice rang in its ears.

"Do you know? I truly understand that they and I are enemies."

The six-eyed creature was utterly shocked. It almost growled through gritted teeth, "Who...who are you? Why have I never heard of you before?!"

Wu Pifu ignored him and continued, "But when I saw them truly become human, I really wavered."

Six Eyes continued to growl, "You can't do this! I am a Celestial Master, the Celestial Master of the Heavenly Court! If you dare to kill me, the Heavenly Court will surely retaliate. Do you know how many civilizations the Heavenly Court has destroyed because of the killing of Celestial Masters? Even ancient civilizations among them!?"

"...It shouldn't be you who does it; I should be the one to do it, because I want to see them off on their final journey, in the end..."

"No!" All six of Liuyan's eyes widened at the same time, and the pupils shrank to a single point.

"Give me your life!"

As the greatsword fell, the six-eyed leader soared into the air, then vanished into ashes amidst the horrified gazes of those who witnessed it.

At the same time, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and space shattered.
