Chapter 541

Wu Wu Pifu's sudden outburst caused War to lose its composure.

He knew Wu Wu Pifu was very strong, because due to the characteristics of the Potion extraordinary system, any Potion extraordinary being who reached a certain level of strength immediately knew of Wu Wu Pifu's power.

It was a universe with no end in sight!!

The knight was silent for a long time, then said in a gruff voice to Wu Wu Pifu: "We really don't have to fight. Really, even war is actually just a continuation of politics, don't you agree?"

Wu Wu Pifu said: "What is that?"

The knight immediately perked up and said eagerly: "That is a long story. The so-called continuation of politics is what leads to war; the logic behind this is..."

Wu Wu Pifu pointed behind the knight and said: "What is that?"

The knight turned to look behind Him and saw shadows flickering in the dense fog. Judging by the appearance of those shadows, they seemed to be huge tentacles waving about, each one blotting out the sky and sun. Faintly, some kind of terrifying, non-human roar seemed to be coming from them.

The knight was silent for a very, very long time before He lowered His head slightly and said: "That is... my homeland."

Wu Wu Pifu nodded, set up a boxing stance, and said: "To avoid killing the wrong god, let me ask one thing first: have you thought about how to solve the social problems before you?"

The knight was silent again, then He began to laugh. The laughter was full of anger, and the voice sounded as if it were squeezed out from between His teeth: "Fine, fine, fine. Outsider, we have been polite enough to you. You came to our world without permission, killed our people, threatened us True Gods, and even attempted to destroy our world... then let's fight!"

Wu Wu Pifu nodded without answering, and with his first move, he threw a straight punch toward the knight.

The two were at least fifty meters apart. With one punch, it was already before the target in a flash. The punch was like lightning, with the faint sound of wind and thunder roaring. The knight was wrapped in heavy knight armor, and His face could not be seen. Facing Wu Wu Pifu's surging punch, He simply raised the knight's lance in His hand and slashed horizontally. Wu Wu Pifu's punch hit nothing at all.

The knight had already arrived at least several hundred meters behind Wu Wu Pifu, holding the knight's lance high toward the sky, and shouted: "Mortal, you know nothing of the realm of gods!"

Wu Wu Pifu turned around, clenched his fist, and didn't even take out the Spirit-Breaking Blade. He said indifferently: "Just a mere sublimation body, and you have the face to clamor here? Come, come, let me see what you've got."

The knight paused, then roared wildly: "Arrogant!!"

As He spoke, the knight slashed His lance downward. In Wu Wu Pifu's eyes, a visual effect similar to a kaleidoscope immediately appeared. Everything around him began to crumble inch by inch, and the momentum of the crumbling spread rapidly, then rendered itself onto Wu Wu Pifu's entire body, as if he himself were about to shatter.

But for some reason, when his body was about to split open, there was a crackling sound all over his body. All the cracks stopped at the surface of his skin. With a flash of sparks, no matter how the surroundings shattered, Wu Wu Pifu remained motionless, and there wasn't even a tiny bloodstain on his entire body.

"You..." The knight's roar came, and immediately after, a faint lance actually pierced out from inside Wu Wu Pifu's heart. However, it got stuck when it hit the flesh wall inside the heart, unable to pierce even a millimeter. The tip of the lance was even bent directly, unable to leave even a white mark.

Wu Wu Pifu just stood in place with a strange expression. Then, countless lance tips appeared all over his body—from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, from every blood vessel under his skin to every internal organ, from inside his eyeballs to inside his brain. Countless lance tips pierced out simultaneously, but they were all stuck dead when they touched his flesh, organs, and bones.

"... Why..."

Wu Wu Pifu ignored Him, reached out, and slapped downward. An invisible wave erupted, and all the lance tips disappeared. The knight's armor developed numerous cracks, and He was sent tumbling backward. Although the shattering of the surrounding space continued, it still caused Wu Wu Pifu no harm.

After the slap, Wu Wu Pifu did not immediately pursue. He reached out again in confusion and personally touched a space crack with his finger. In an instant, a bloodstain appeared on his finger; the flesh was neatly separated, and the wound was small but deep enough to reach the bone.

"How strange." Wu Wu Pifu looked at the knight who had fallen in the distance and said: "This is not an illusion, but my spiritual intuition tells me not to believe it. As long as I don't believe it, I won't be affected in the slightest?"

The knight said nothing, just stood up. He did not attack again, but instead used the knight's lance to pierce His own chest. Then, brilliant light erupted from His chest. This light burned His body to ashes. Then the light expanded and turned into a "door."

That was actually just a ball of light, but upon seeing this ball of light, Wu Wu Pifu immediately knew it was a "door," representing the concept of a door. Immediately after, the glowing knight stepped out of that door unscathed, His body intact, still holding the knight's lance, and riding the fierce giant lion beneath Him...

Wu Wu Pifu's eyes lit up, and in another flash, he transformed into the World-Swallowing Giant Mouth. With a *snap*, the giant lion was only half left again. The knight leaped up with a stomp, His speed and power far exceeding before. With a whistle, He rushed to Wu Wu Pifu's face, and the lance in His hand stabbed directly at his forehead.

This stab displayed full power, with speed and power not a bit weaker than Wu Wu Pifu's. A huge sonic boom even appeared at the tip of the lance, and an airflow trajectory line followed behind the lance. Then the airflow exploded. When it was only an inch away from Wu Wu Pifu's forehead, the knight's lance even appeared to be plasma-fied, and its speed within that inch exceeded a certain threshold.

But all of this, even as it began to surpass Wu Wu Pifu's speed and power, remained motionless before the two fingers he extended. Wu Wu Pifu gently extended two fingers and clamped the lance. The force he used was lighter than picking up a small stone, but it was this light force that held the knight's lance dead, unable to advance even a fraction.

This scene was extremely strange. Behind the knight, the terrifying power fluctuations had already begun to evaporate matter. His entire body was as brilliant as a star, the plasma began to flash, and even space appeared distorted. Yet behind Wu Wu Pifu, it was calm and breezy; he couldn't even be forced to move a fraction of an inch.

To test all this, Wu Wu Pifu even released his fingers, letting the lance stab his forehead. Within five steps, he should no longer possess strong defensive characteristics, but when this lance stabbed, there wasn't even a tiny white mark on his forehead.

"No... it's not fake, but..."

Wu Wu Pifu murmured. He was very confused and completely puzzled, but since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't bother thinking about it. He raised his hand, intending to press down with a palm.

This palm looked calm and breezy... well, it really was calm and breezy. He didn't even mobilize any blood energy; he just waved it lightly. But as he watched this palm fall, before it even reached the target, the knight's body was about to crumble, and even the "door" was about to shatter.

"Stop!!"

Four roars were issued. Faintly, one could see a sun, a field of stars, a tomb, and a vehicle appearing in the dense fog, but only their voices could be heard, not the people themselves.

Wu Wu Pifu's palm stopped and did not actually fall, but it was not because of these four voices; it was because at this moment, the Main Brain's voice sounded in his mind.

"Judging... Judgment complete. Information collection complete. Confirmed the structure of this space-time. High-risk exploration mission three completed. Please obtain the whereabouts of the Containment Foundation from the Five Gods. Re-judging... Judgment complete. If the Five Gods are killed, it may cause the clues to be interrupted."

"Side mission obtained: Collect detailed information on the Spiritual Civilization, experience the full story of the Spiritual Civilization's loss. Points will be awarded based on the completion rate. If the completion rate exceeds 90%, extra rewards will be obtained, including but not limited to: Spiritual Civilization extraordinary path cultivation techniques, Spiritual Civilization high-level fantasy items, Spiritual Civilization Lost Source Gaze, Spiritual Civilization Lost World coordinates. The higher the completion rate, the more rewards, and multiple items can be obtained."

Wu Wu Pifu cursed out loud: "No way, the damn Lost Source Gaze is also a reward!? Main Brain, that's enough out of you!!"

The Main Brain naturally could not respond.

Seeing Wu Wu Pifu stop his attack, the four voices never appeared again. The knight crumbled inch by inch, and the "door" shrank by half. Finally, a trembling old man walked out of the door. He panted as he walked, looking extremely aged.

Wu Wu Pifu stared at this old man, seeing him panting incessantly after walking out, and finally sitting down on the ground. Only then did he ask: "Fine, I'll give you a chance. Tell me everything, convince me. Do not hide anything, do not deceive me. I am willing to give you this chance for a peaceful dialogue. Do not let this chance slip away from before your eyes."

The old man smiled bitterly. He pointed at the door, and the door shrank again. Then, a boy with mechanical modifications on his body, a woman without a head, a bald man with burns all over his body, and a middle-aged man whose body was mostly rotten walked out. By then, the door shattered, leaving only these five old, weak, sick, and disabled people.

"It really won't work... I tried my best, and I still couldn't win. No, I couldn't even cause the slightest bit of damage. As expected... our extraordinary nature is flawed," the old man said with a bitter smile to the other four.

The other four were either unable to speak, unable to show expressions, or were filled with despair.

The headless woman spoke in an unknown way: "Why would an existence like you appear? Is your spiritual consciousness... really something that life can carry?"

Wu Wu Pifu did not answer, just looked at the five of them.

The five of them also fell silent. After another moment, the person who was rotten like a corpse, with bones exposed on his body, said: "Things have reached this point, what else is there to hide?"

"Potion Civilization—this is just a fake name created to hide the fatal flaws of our extraordinary path. The original name of our civilization should be called... Spiritual Civilization."

"A civilization that was once incomparably prosperous, but from the very beginning, had stepped into the abyss without knowing it..."

Just at this moment, the tentacles in the distant fog became more numerous, blotting out the sky and sun, rolling toward the sun at the top of the dense fog. As they approached the sun, the tentacles grew larger and larger, and finally...

The tentacles extinguished the sun.
