Chapter 307: Demon Realm

"You have established a Level 4 Sanctuary."

"You have received one designated item extraction reward."

"You must return to the world where this sanctuary is located every thirty days and stay for three days."

"You must meet the following conditions to upgrade this sanctuary to Level 5 and above."

"Confront the original Demon Castle Lord."

"Confront the End Giant, sever the cycle."

When Wu Pifu hacked off the Demon Castle Demon King's head, the Main Brain's prompt had already appeared. At the same time, he also obtained a large amount of information, just like the things that appeared when he shattered the black dragon's body earlier, which seemed like both memories and hallucinations.

Perhaps it was the chemical reaction of the Latent Super-Brain's characteristics combined with the Observation Haki, or perhaps this Demon King was very special, or it could be that this world was heading toward the end, so the life information of this world had begun to become unstable.

Wu Pifu didn't know the reason, but he had indeed learned a lot of information from the Demon King.

Setting aside the information that was very likely from the Demon King's previous lives, there were only two pieces of information that were most important. One was the location of the original Demon Castle Lord; the so-called Demon Realm was not behind the Demon King, but in the deepest layer of the tomb area. The method to get there was very simple: break through downward. The rules were the same as leaving the tomb area, determined by the damage dealt. After exceeding a certain limit, one could cross multiple layers at once to reach the deepest part of the tomb area. For example, when the Demon King went to the deepest layer, he used the black light spray three times in a row.

The second important piece of information was that the End Giant could not be destroyed. Even if the power of all the extraordinary beings of an era were gathered, it could not cause destruction to it, because... the End Giant was this world itself!

This was the truth Wu Pifu had obtained from the Demon King.

Not to mention the location of the Demon Realm, the second truth was actually already within some kind of premonition of Wu Pifu.

This world had experienced multiple era cycles. Every era of the world went from the Divine Era to the End, and its sign was the End Giant flowing upstream from the end of time, destroying everything.

What Wu Pifu did not yet know was why the destroyed world could start over again, and why the lives that died in the previous era would start again in other forms. These would probably need to be asked of the original Demon Castle Lord, or by reading the complete version of the Forbidden Canon.

However, he could be certain of one thing: the End Giant possessed some kind of incomprehensible immortal characteristic. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it not to be eliminated for so many cycles. Either its defense was so high that it couldn't be broken, or it couldn't be killed no matter what. Regardless of which, its characteristics were bound to be very special.

And from the fact that after Wu Pifu searched for the Forbidden Canon in the present world, he was targeted by the malice of the entire world, and even had thunder directly sent down to kill him, it was clear that this End Giant must control a certain degree of world power.

Linking this to the fact that its method of attack was not blades, swords, axes, or hacking, but manifested in the form of natural phenomena, and combined with the phenomenon of those color-faded lives in the present world and the mutation that occurred after knowing more content of the Forbidden Canon, Wu Pifu had already guessed at the time that the End Giant might be the world itself.

But this triggered an even greater mystery.

If the End Giant was the world itself, then were the lives of this world hated and antagonized by the world?

Then what was the "strongest schemer" described in the Forbidden Canon?

And what did the original Demon Castle Lord's "swear by this heaven and earth" represent?

His task to establish a Level 5 Sanctuary was to sever the cycle. Did it mean he had to destroy this world? Or was the End Giant not the world? Also, if he destroyed this world, would Daphne be saved? Or would she disappear?

After Wu Pifu killed the Demon King, he learned some truths and knew the location of the Demon Realm, but this triggered even more questions.

However, Wu Pifu already had a plan.

"Main Brain, use the extraction reward. The item to be extracted is the complete version of the Forbidden Canon," Wu Pifu said immediately.

This was a plan he had had before. The reward for a Level 4 Sanctuary was to extract a designated item from the Dream World. The difficulty was to confirm what exactly was in the Dream World. If it existed, then the Main Brain could extract it, even if this item "used to" exist. For example, the Phoenix Bile heavenly treasure he had obtained in the Song Dynasty Dream World.

And although the Forbidden Canon had been destroyed by the End Giant, the complete version of the Forbidden Canon had existed once. This was his plan.

He could immediately complete the Main Brain's task, obtain a title upgrade, and add a title slot, which would allow his strength to improve again.

Secondly, through the Forbidden Canon, he could learn the truth of this world!

"Judging... Judgment complete. Because the complete version of the Forbidden Canon contains information about the lost source 'xxx ring', it possesses a unique characteristic. This item is deeply bound to the original Demon Castle Lord and cannot be extracted directly."

"Please, Citizen Wu Pifu, proceed to the Demon Realm to handle related matters." Wu Pifu was silent for a long time before teasing: "Main Brain, when you want me to kill someone, can't you just say 'kill xxx'? Why be so elegant and say 'handle related matters'..."

Although the complete version of the Forbidden Canon was not extracted directly, Wu Pifu at least knew that such a thing existed, and it still existed now, so he felt relieved. Moreover, the Level 5 Sanctuary task already included confronting the original Demon Castle Lord. He also had a premonition that before facing the End Giant, it was best to go to the Demon Realm and meet this original Demon Castle Lord.

Wu Pifu immediately jumped off the black dragon's body and walked toward the Grim Reaper and the Dark Archmage.

The Grim Reaper and the Dark Archmage looked at the dark corpse, both feeling sorrow and silence. When Wu Pifu walked toward them, the Dark Archmage spoke first: "Person from outside the heavens, you can no longer become the Demon Castle Lord. Now is the time when the end has begun. Even if you killed the Demon King, you cannot replace him to become the new Demon Castle Lord. Even with the Demon King's death, this Demon Castle will not collapse immediately, but will collapse in two days along with the end..."

The Grim Reaper bowed directly and said: "Thank you, person from outside the heavens. You have fulfilled my master's last wish: to fight a strong opponent before the end arrives. He has no regrets in death."

Wu Pifu shook his head slightly and said: "No, his regret was not about fighting a strong opponent, but about being unable to recall the past... Alright, let's not talk about this. I need to go to the tomb area. Do you have a way for me to get to the tomb area quickly?"

The Grim Reaper and the Dark Archmage looked at each other. The Dark Archmage asked: "Are you planning to go to the Demon Realm? Want to meet the original Demon Castle Lord in person?"

Wu Pifu nodded in acknowledgment. The Grim Reaper sighed and said: "What's the point of meeting? The Dark Archmage has always hoped to go to the Demon Realm, but his strength is not enough. He can only wander in the lower areas of the tomb area and cannot reach the Demon Realm at the deepest layer. As for me, I have entered the final battlefield of the reverse Demon Castle many times, trying to find the weakness of the End Giant, but there is none... That End Giant is the incarnation of our world. We have no possibility of harming it. At the same time, do you know about the Sea of Spirituality?"

Wu Pifu was stunned for a moment, then nodded again.

He had indeed heard of the Sea of Spirituality from the extraordinary beings of this world.

!

It was said to be the product of the fusion of the pan-consciousness of the life spirituality of this world with pollution, and it was also the extraordinary root of this world.

The Grim Reaper continued: "That Sea of Spirituality is the consciousness of the End Giant! And its body is transformed by the world. The original Demon Castle Lord was delusional to challenge the entire world; it's simply impossible... What is the point of you going to see him?"

Wu Pifu did not speak, only looking at the two.

The two shook their heads slightly. The Dark Archmage said: "We do have a way to get you to the entrance of the tomb area quickly, but you will have to rely on yourself to go to the Demon Realm. However... since you were able to defeat the Demon King, I suppose you are qualified to enter the Demon Realm, so I can only wish you good luck, person from outside the heavens."

As he spoke, magic inscriptions appeared on the Dark Archmage's body. These inscriptions swept toward Wu Pifu in the air.

At this moment, the Grim Reaper suddenly asked: "Person from outside the heavens, you can leave this world and return directly to your own world. Why do you still want to fight? Is it because you want to use the special attributes of the Demon Castle to strengthen yourself?"

Wu Pifu looked at the Grim Reaper and the Dark Archmage. Both were looking at him with inexplicable gazes, in which there was both expectation and worry.

"... I want to sever this cycle," Wu Pifu said only this, then closed his eyes and stood silently in place.

The Grim Reaper and the Dark Archmage looked at each other, both moved. Suddenly, the Grim Reaper took a skull out of his bosom and threw it to Wu Pifu, and the Dark Archmage threw a ring from his finger. The moment Wu Pifu disappeared, their voices reached his ears.

"If you can really sever the cycle..."

"Bless you, person from outside the heavens."

A flash before Wu Pifu's eyes, and he had returned to the deepest layer of the Demon Castle. The entrance to the tomb area was right before his eyes, and he had an extra skull and ring in his hand. Then he looked around, and suddenly turned pale with fright...

Jiu Jiu was gone!?

On the other side, the Grim Reaper and the Dark Archmage looked at the disappeared Wu Pifu. Both were silent, then both laughed. Just as they were about to take out a scroll from their bosoms and tear it to go to the final battlefield, they suddenly saw a small emerald green bird flying anxiously to the place where Wu Pifu had disappeared, chirping loudly. Then, this little bird looked at them and pecked at their faces.

"..."

The two looked at Jiu Jiu and fell into deep thought.
