Chapter 473

Wu Pifu rubbed his belly in satisfaction; although the tiger was not actually inside his stomach, he still felt extremely satisfied.

The backflow of negative spiritual energy was the greatest backlash and danger he had to face consistently and constantly, and the "tiger"—especially the tiger that had swallowed and entered into the negative spiritual energy—was his greatest insurance policy. He could never have too many of these; he wished his sea of consciousness was filled with tigers lined up in droves.

Then, Wu Pifu came from the crater of the city that had completely vanished to the location where Zhang Xuer was, and he nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the three giant beasts that were still alive.

The woman of the demon race couldn't help but say, "Little brother, these really cannot be eaten. These are war beasts; their flesh and blood are actually more like synthetic materials or metallic materials... If you really must eat, my demon race has captive mindless familiar beasts that we usually eat as well. Although they don't compare to heavenly treasures, their numbers are quite large."

Wu Pifu answered simply, "Batteries."

After saying this, he looked at the three giant beasts with distress, thinking about what method he should use to transport them.

"Electric what?" the woman of the demon race asked, completely bewildered.

Wu Pifu didn't care; he thought for a moment and went straight to the three giant beasts, starting to peel off their skin piece by piece.

His skinning technique was not up to par, and he hadn't thought about being "gentle" at all. He just tore off large chunks of skin and flesh directly. The three giant beasts were each in so much pain that they wanted to roll around, but he slapped them one by one, shattering the bones all over their bodies so that they were all left in place, unable to move, while being skinned.

Both the woman of the demon race and Zhang Xuer felt their eyelids twitch as they watched. The woman of the demon race said, "Little brother, kill them first. Although they are war beasts, they were modified from living beings..."

Wu Pifu said while skinning, "Don't worry, monsters don't feel pain. This is just them anthropomorphizing."

"?"

The "bewilderment index" in the corners of Wu Pifu's eyes began to rise again.

To be honest, Wu Pifu really wanted to complain. This world was just too inexplicable. Every time he spoke seriously or answered seriously, it often led to inexplicable reactions from others, which made him want to complain until he was full of grievances.

Regardless, after peeling off a lot of the giant beasts' skin and flesh, Wu Pifu barely managed to tan them into long ropes. However, thinking that they might not be sturdy enough, he relied on his perception to start pulling the tendons from the giant beasts, aiming to pull the tendons without killing them. This process was inevitably bloodier, and the giant beasts trembled even more violently. Fortunately, Wu Pifu's strength was sufficient, and he completed this task.

Meanwhile, the faces of the woman of the demon race and Zhang Xuer had already turned pale.

Wu Pifu used the long tendons mixed with the skin and flesh ropes to tie the three giant beasts up, and then he tied the other end to himself. After testing it, he felt it was fine, so he said to the two women, "I'm going back now. If you can't keep up with me, then you'll have to figure it out for yourselves."

The woman of the demon race and Zhang Xuer looked at each other, and with difficult smiles, they said to Wu Pifu, "We will keep up with little brother (little junior brother)."

Wu Pifu nodded and stepped forward, running toward the location of Samara.

With this run, his speed was over three thousand meters per second, and behind him followed the three giant beasts, which were like small mountains, tied up and trailing along. For a time, sand and stones flew, the earth trembled, and in an instant, he was far away, leaving behind a ground covered in shredded meat, as well as the giant beasts, whose bodies were stiff and could only emit muffled roars of pain from their throats and vocal organs.

The woman of the demon race and Zhang Xuer both widened their eyes. They had thought Wu Pifu had some other space-traveling legend or a method of flying through the air. Who would have thought that, damn it, he was actually running on his feet!?

The woman of the demon race said loudly, "No, isn't he from your True Martial lineage? A dignified Human Immortal, actually running on his legs!?"

Zhang Xuer's face was flushed with shame as she said, "No, his cultivation technique... in short, there are other hidden circumstances, other hidden circumstances..."

Having no choice, the two women could only take to the air and fly, following closely behind Wu Pifu. They saw the giant beasts being dragged across the ground, flesh and blood flying everywhere. However, these giant beasts were war beasts with incredibly tenacious vitality. Although their flesh and blood were constantly missing, they were self-healing. Such injuries alone couldn't kill them, but the pain was no less than being sliced by a thousand cuts. The three giant beasts had already fainted from the pain and regained consciousness, and gradually, the three giant beasts stopped roaring—not because it didn't hurt anymore, but because they had become numb.

This scene made both women feel chilled to the bone; they wished they could do Wu Pifu a favor and just kill these war beasts, but they were afraid of Wu Pifu's power and dared not.

As the two women flew in the sky, they also communicated with each other.

"... He is definitely a Seed of the Ultimate Path. He has at least three or four extraordinary paths on him, yet he hasn't self-detonated, hasn't mutated, and hasn't lost his sanity. If he isn't a Seed of the Ultimate Path, then what is he? But he's not just a Seed of the Ultimate Path."

The woman of the demon race transmitted her voice, "Before my ancestor sent me out, he mentioned that he carries the aura of the Heavenly Court and Buddhism. Even setting aside the true aura, the mere aura of the Heavenly Court and Buddhism is incredible. The traitors who destroyed all our hope back then, and the salvation civilization that saved everything back then—both are of great significance."

Zhang Xuer also said, "That's right, this is exactly why I stayed behind. The Heavenly Court has been silent for several True Eras, and my master often suspects that the Heavenly Court has been completely lost. But we still remember the prestige of the Heavenly Court and have records of it, which proves it hasn't been lost. The various circumstances in between are truly worrying. As for Buddhism... the Buddhist secret treasures, who wouldn't want them?"

The two women fell silent at this point. After a long while, the woman of the demon race said, "And then there is the true aura. If... I'm saying if, this true aura isn't because he obtained some opportunity, but what if he was originally a visitor from the True Realm?"

Zhang Xuer was silent for a moment and said, "I have this suspicion too, but before, my master, including the various ancestors, didn't think in this direction because no fragments of the True Realm had fallen down. According to the settings of the Myriad Transformations Refining Realm Heaven, only when the True Realm falls to the 0.5 standard layer will it begin to swallow the broken fragments of the True Realm, and then various lands will be formed here. But recently, no fragments of the True Realm have appeared at all, yet he appeared... surely he didn't force his way across the passage with his physical body, right?"

The two women looked at each other and saw the word "impossible" in each other's eyes.

If... they hadn't watched Wu Pifu's battle, they would definitely have concluded it was impossible, because this is something even a Sublimated Body couldn't do. Being swallowed in as an individual life form is simply impossible!

The essence of the Myriad Transformations Refining Realm Heaven is a Level 5 Nightmare derived from the source of pollution, but it was jointly refined by many sources and turned into this Myriad Transformations Refining Realm Heaven, which is the Lost Lands. However, its targets for swallowing are fragments of True Civilization, those broken world fragments, which are then torn and crushed during the swallowing process, and after their protective crystal walls are completely shattered, they fall into these Lost Lands in the form of land.

Life, even a Sublimated Body, could never survive this process!

But the two women had watched Wu Pifu's battle—that kind of standing amidst thousands of blades, flames, and thunder without suffering the slightest damage; this level of defensive power even exceeded the limit of a Heaven-Shaking Human Immortal, which is to say, a Sublimated Body!

So if Wu Pifu really could survive such a swallowing, then it wasn't a fragment of True Civilization falling, but a new generation of True Civilization appearing, and Wu Pifu, as the outstanding figure of this civilization, perhaps even the strongest, explored deep into the Dream World, then encountered the modified Level 5 Nightmare, and was subsequently swallowed.

Only such circumstances could explain the mixed auras on him.

Zhang Xuer's eyes lit up as she said, "If that's really the case..."

The woman of the demon race's eyes also lit up as she said, "If that's really the case..."

"Then we might even be able to go to the True Realm!!"

"If I weren't here, would you be unable to go to the True Realm?"

A voice asked. Both women subconsciously shook their heads and said, "How could that be? Without the True Realm, as soon as we go out, we would immediately become void and lost."

Then the two women came to their senses at the same time and looked at Wu Pifu in horror.

Wu Pifu was still running, at least a thousand meters away from them, but that was definitely Wu Pifu's voice just now. He had heard their voice transmissions completely!?

The woman of the demon race was calm and said directly, "That's right, we don't have a share of the True Realm. We—or rather, all life in the Lost Lands—would immediately become void as soon as we leave!"

Wu Pifu's voice was silent for a moment before asking again, "So who exactly are you people? Why don't you just speak openly and clearly? If possible, I don't mind taking some people who are harmless and beneficial to me when I leave this realm. Otherwise, we'll just part ways. If you want to be enemies, then let's just fight."

Zhang Xuer cheered, "Little junior brother has great spirit. My True Martial lineage should be this open and sincere!"

The woman of the demon race said to Zhang Xuer, "You're still talking about being open and sincere? Hehe... there's nothing to hide. If you follow any of us to the Lost Lands, you'll know our origins. You tell him, Muscle Girl."

Zhang Xuer was furious, "I specialize in the path of Ghost Immortals, I'm not some Muscle Girl! Little junior brother, do you know about the True Era?"

Wu Pifu answered, "I know a little. Why don't you tell me about it?"

Zhang Xuer said, "This world, the universe, is actually divided into two sides: True and Void. They cycle back and forth, one living and one dying, one Yin and one Yang. When the True rises, the Void hides; when the Void rises, the True hides. This is the Great Dao of this heaven and earth universe... But I don't know when or why, the Void underwent a drastic change, causing the demonic to rise and the Dao to decline. The True began to fall toward the Void, and it was only a one-sided fall. Since then, the Void has surged, and although the True has appeared time and time again, it has ultimately been unable to avoid falling into the Void, eventually disappearing without a trace. And we call the process of each True Realm from appearance to fall a 'Era,' which is a True Era."

"The True Realm falls down, cycling over and over again; its quantity can no longer be calculated. And the process of the True Realm falling, because it gradually becomes void and mixes with the source of pollution, is where the extraordinary is born. Some civilizations use this extraordinary power, mixed with the original paths of the civilization, trying to stabilize the civilization or let the civilization transform into the Void side, turning into a Void civilization. Thus, there were Sublimated Bodies and Sources. But nine out of ten fail, thereby becoming Lost Civilizations."

"And those civilizations that succeeded... at least partially succeeded, had a Source. But this Source is not a good thing either. In short, most of the remnants of civilizations that even lost their Sources, as well as the remnant individuals of Lost Civilizations, we discovered that the Lost Lands can isolate the gaze of the Source while significantly weakening the erosion of the source of pollution. So our elders took the last information and individuals of the civilization and hid in various Lost Lands. Then the elders used their great abilities to open up forbidden zones within them. On the basis of the Lost Lands significantly delaying the erosion of the source of pollution, they once again significantly delayed the speed at which we are lost. And this is us..."

"Life born, growing, and struggling to survive in the Lost Forbidden Zones—as soon as we leave this realm, we will immediately be lost, unless..."

"We obtain the latest True Realm, and it must be the share and promise of the True Realm of this Era that hasn't fallen to 0.7 yet. And that person..."

"Is you!!"
