Chapter 443: The Fragment of Khaine

Wu Pifu looked at the Khaine fragment before him with great anticipation—the legendary fragment of the Eldar's surviving god.

From a physical sense, this Khaine fragment was extraordinary!

Its strength was very great, and it possessed extraordinary power itself. Although it was still attached to the Warp conversion, this extraordinary power could not be stripped or isolated by Wu Pifu, because it also represented a part of the Warp power projection.

However, Wu Pifu was very sure that the Khaine fragment before him was not of the same root essence as the Four Chaos Gods. The reason its extraordinary power was Warp power conversion was more like a higher-level pollution eroding it, assimilating it from an independent individual into a part of the Warp.

But in general, Khaine... was very strong!

It could manifest in the material universe and use power. This was the biggest essential difference from the Four Chaos Gods!

In Wu Pifu's physical sense, even if this Khaine fragment was just this one piece, it had at least one-fifth the strength of a Golden Body Luo Han. If it were in its complete state, it might be even more powerful than a Golden Body Luo Han!

The two sides clashed with a blade. Wu Pifu used a deflecting force in his haste, so he didn't trigger the "Kratos" title, but he still felt the power of the Khaine fragment.

The comparison of extraordinary power was like this, and the most terrifying thing was the combat art!

Even if it just swung a sword, Wu Pifu could still clearly perceive that Khaine's combat art was tempered a hundred times, not losing to the previous Phoenix Lord at all, and even... slightly better!

This was very terrifying. When Wu Pifu fought an enemy, if the enemy's strength was far stronger than his, he could rely on combat arts (Guoshu, force techniques, etc.) plus mechanics (titles) to fight. If the enemy's skill was equal to or exceeded his, he could rely on physical stats and extraordinary power that exceeded the opponent to fight and resist.

But this time, he encountered an enemy whose extraordinary power was slightly stronger than his current self, and whose combat art was not inferior to his at all—both were similar to existences that had broken the void and achieved the "Seeing God, Indestructible" realm. For him, this was truly a super good enemy!

"Good!"

Wu Pifu held the half-broken Broken Spirit Blade. At this time, Khaine actually stood still. It was essentially an aggregate of chaotic extraordinary energy. At least Wu Pifu didn't feel any other emotions from it, only chaos, violence, slaughter, etc. But at this moment, it actually stood still, then raised its blood-colored giant sword and performed a gesture similar to etiquette toward Wu Pifu.

Seeing this, Wu Pifu naturally wouldn't be timid. He cupped his hands and bowed solemnly to the Khaine fragment, while saying solemnly, "Wu Pifu..."

"I have seen you!"

The next instant, two ripple shockwaves appeared behind Wu Pifu and behind the Khaine fragment. With a "bang," the weapons of the two collided. A human nearly two meters tall and a giant ten meters tall—in one collision, a huge impact force directly tore the metal ground, and a huge metal crack 100 meters long and more than 3 meters wide appeared directly.

And contrary to everyone's expectations, in the collision between the two, it was not Wu Pifu who was knocked back, but the taller and more exaggerated Khaine fragment. It was directly blasted away by Wu Pifu for more than 10,000 meters, crashing into a floating fortress, then penetrating and exploding it, and then landing on an artillery position, scraping a trajectory line on the ground. It only stopped forcibly after landing hundreds of meters away with its sword inserted into the ground.

At the same time, Wu Pifu's arms cracked violently, and blood gushed out. However, it stopped bleeding in just a few breaths, and the flesh and blood were slowly healing. He neither pursued nor did anything else, but closed his eyes slightly, carefully feeling the charm of the collision just now.

Good opponent!

Then, Wu Pifu opened his eyes suddenly, waved his big blade behind him, and shouted sharply, "Retreat!"

The Orks who were about to swarm forward stopped their steps. Most of the Orks had blank eyes, and then they were immediately beaten back by the five-meter-tall Ork guard team. Then, these twenty five-meter-tall Ork guards stood in the front row, like a five-meter-tall wall of flesh. As long as they didn't exceed them, they wouldn't attack anyone.

Watching this scene, many human high-ranking officials in the back row had worried expressions. Inquisitor Anris Guss said in a low voice, "It's already very similar to the records during the War of the Beast. The super-evolved Orks have begun to have order. In the records at that time, they even knew diplomatic etiquette and diplomatic language... This matter needs to be reported to the Inquisition."

At this time, Magnus said in a low voice beside him, "This may not be a bad thing. Orks cannot be exterminated. We verified this with the Emperor 10,000 years ago. Essentially, it is a war machine for dealing with any war. Its threat is so great only because this weapon has gone out of control and has no owner. But what if it has an owner?"

Everyone looked at Wu Pifu thoughtfully. At this time, Angron, who only had his head left and was being carried by two brothers, suddenly said, "By comparison, I am more worried about this battle... Khaine fragment, it seems to be able to use the power of the Warp..."

In the distance where the artillery was concentrated, the Khaine fragment stood up. It waved the blood-colored giant sword in its hand, and ripple shockwaves spread to the surroundings. The artillery and Dark Eldar within a thousand meters of where it stood were blown away and destroyed. Then, where it stood exploded violently, and its figure had already rushed toward Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu didn't avoid or retreat, but instead rushed forward with his blade. Three seconds later, the two collided and shook again. The ground within a hundred meters of the two immediately trembled and cracked. At the moment of the collision, each of them vented the counter-impact force into the ground. Soft force, twisting force, deflecting force... In one collision, each other's combat arts exploded to the limit. Faintly, Wu Pifu's force usage was slightly raw. In that split second of less than a thousandth of a second, the Khaine fragment immediately seized the opportunity, shook and swayed the giant sword in its hand, picked open Wu Pifu's Broken Spirit Blade, and slashed diagonally at his neck before he could defend.

Everyone watching exclaimed, but they couldn't do anything, they could only watch Wu Pifu...

Bang!

The sound of metal clashing rang out. The giant sword slashed at Wu Pifu's neck, but made such a sound. At the same time, sparks flew from Wu Pifu's neck. The giant sword entered the flesh for three points, but was firmly blocked by a layer of pitch-black metallic luster. Moreover, there was an inexplicable force that hardened his neck. The Khaine fragment couldn't slash in with one sword, but was stuck in the three points of flesh and couldn't advance or retreat.

"... In terms of martial arts, I lost."

Wu Pifu looked at the "Bafflement Index" at the corner of his eye soaring wildly, soaring more than 50,000 in less than a second. He said calmly, "Next... is the battle between life and death!"

As the voice fell, the surface of Wu Pifu's Broken Spirit Blade suddenly became pitch black. At the same time, blood-colored energy surged on the Khaine fragment. The surging extraordinary energy even formed a hurricane, blowing everyone within thousands of meters unable to open their eyes. It pulled back the giant sword violently, collided hard with the half-broken big blade Wu Pifu slashed up, and at the same time, its footsteps tilted slightly, its upper body leaned back, especially its head turned back.

But it was too late. At the moment the giant sword collided with the Broken Spirit Blade, a hundred times the giant force burst out. At the same time, the pitch-black Broken Spirit Blade carried a strange extraordinary power. It actually suppressed the blood-colored energy rippling on the giant sword. With a loud boom, the giant sword was actually blasted to pieces directly, turning into countless blood-colored fragments shooting toward the Dark Eldar position behind the Khaine fragment. Each giant sword fragment was like a starship macro-cannon.

The dark giant tower was hit continuously. Each fragment easily penetrated the protective force field, blasting holes of various sizes on the giant tower. The remaining blood-colored fragments plowed and exploded the positions around the dark giant tower one after another. Except for a very few artillery and fortresses, this large area of positions was almost completely scrapped.

At the same time, Wu Pifu's Broken Spirit Blade had slashed at the feet of the Khaine fragment. With one slash, the legs were separated immediately. Wu Pifu followed the blade, and in a flash, he rushed to the face of the Khaine fragment. With another slash, its neck and head were immediately turned to ashes. But the Khaine fragment did not perish because of this. Between the surging blood-colored energy, its neck and head, legs, and even the blood-colored giant sword were recovering rapidly.

Immortality characteristic!

The enemies Wu Pifu fought in many dream worlds, once their strength reached a certain threshold, that is, the so-called sublimation body, basically all possessed immortality characteristics. Although it was not truly eternal immortality, even the real damage of the upgraded "Commoner" title needed to be attacked many times to be eliminated, and the Khaine fragment possessed such characteristics.

But...

Wu Pifu's eyes widened suddenly, and a terrifying pressure descended on the battlefield. The damaged buildings around cracked one after another. Everyone even thousands of meters away felt a fatal pressure. Many weak lives even began to tremble violently. Even the battle-crazed Orks stopped their commotion. At the same time, they saw purple thunder flashing in the void around them, and this purple thunder gathered on Wu Pifu's Broken Spirit Blade, mixed with the pitch-black color into a strange purple-black.

Then, Wu Pifu took advantage of the fact that the Khaine fragment had not fully recovered, and slashed at its heart again. The purple-black color rushed into its blood-colored body along the blade. At the same time, the blood-colored energy on the Khaine fragment boiled completely, and was also crazily eroding Wu Pifu's body. Both were annihilating and bursting, but gradually, the Khaine fragment fell to the ground, completely motionless.

Before everyone could cheer, they saw a giant tiger roaring in the air in their field of vision, and then it pounced on the Khaine fragment. When they looked again, the Khaine fragment had completely disappeared. Only Wu Pifu was half-kneeling on the ground, his whole body boiling with blood-colored smoke, just motionless, leaning on the half-broken Broken Spirit Blade.

Khaine fragment...

Demon swallowing successful!

Just as Wu Pifu swallowed the Khaine fragment, the entire dream world seemed to produce an invisible fluctuation. Even the Warp could not completely cover this fluctuation, thus penetrating out of the entire dream world, forming an extremely weak invisible ripple outside the dream world. This ripple would dissipate very quickly and completely turn into nothingness.

But just at this time, something happened to be wandering within the range of this ripple propagation. Following the spread of the ripple, this something seemed to be a shark that smelled blood, turned around quickly, and invested in the crystal shell of the dream world in a way that crossed time, space, causality, etc., and then easily corroded and entered, completely dissipating in the dream world.
