Chapter 69: Tragic Survival

The moment Wu Pifu returned to Gaia, he immediately roared hoarsely, "Mainframe, identify the creature before me!"

"Sravaka Body (Incomplete)."

"... Since the sound escaped from %#*, the body turned into five lotuses, simulating the Heavenly Dao, Buddha Realm, Sin Prison, Void, and Human Realm, the five great foundation structures, finally forming the Vacuum Hometown. Alas, the pollution of the Buddha Realm is becoming increasingly serious. In order to get rid of the pollution, it had to cut off the past, thus losing the cultivation knowledge below the Luo Han Rank."

"This is... the Sravaka Rank among the various cultivation ranks of Buddhism re-researched by the sound: Buddha, Bodhisattva, Luo Han, Sravaka, Bhikkhu, Sramanera, Layman. The advancement process was interrupted, incomplete."

Just as the Mainframe's judgment sounded, three Huang Lian fragments had already appeared around the Sravaka Body, and threads were extending from the Huang Lian fragments. But the moment the Mainframe's judgment sounded, all the Huang Lian fragments fell to the ground, the threads turned into ash and dissipated, and this humanoid figure also began to fall apart, turning into strips of threads separating from the body.

However, whether it was the threads separated from its flesh, the threads extending from the Huang Lian fragments, or the threads inserted into Wu Pifu's body, at this moment, they all began to wither.

"#*!"

A strange sound rang out from the Sravaka Body's mouth. Almost in an instant, with its standing position as the center, everything around it began to turn into threads. The ground, the ceiling, the sleep chamber, Wu Pifu himself, and all things turned into threads.

But the next instant, an invisible fluctuation occurred, and everything returned to its original form. Only the threads of the Sravaka Body stopped falling off and collapsing, barely standing, turning into a humanoid figure entangled in threads, its features unclear.

Wu Pifu gasped for breath, trying his best to use the Sleepless Spiritual Light in his consciousness to resist the great terror of the moment he turned into threads.

Then he slowly stood up from the ground, feeling pain everywhere in his body, especially his right chest, which was almost numb with pain. Every breath felt like being sliced by a thousand knives, and he couldn't even lift his right arm.

At the same time, the Sravaka Body seemed to have finally stabilized its body, turning and striding toward Wu Pifu. Every step it took on the metal floor seemed to be corroding, the threads on its feet touching the metal quickly decaying and turning to ash. But its speed was extremely fast. Two steps later, it arrived before Wu Pifu, and its arm struck Wu Pifu's waist in a chaotic manner.

When the arm swung, it had just swung out when there was a "crackling" sound, and at the same time, a shockwave spread toward the surroundings.

Wu Pifu's face changed drastically, and he didn't even dare to take it head-on, only able to block with his arm, his body immediately falling backward.

But the Sravaka Body's speed was too fast, too fast. Wu Pifu only leaned back slightly, his arm felt a pain, and then half of his body went numb. His entire person flew backward more than ten meters, smashing into a sleep chamber, then smashing this sleep chamber directly to pieces, and flying another two or three meters away before stopping.

Wu Pifu rolled on the ground several times, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. He wanted to lift his arm, but found that the left arm he used to block the attack had actually broken into several pieces, and the forearm had completely broken and shattered. At the same time, his waist had only been grazed, and the joints in his waist were almost directly shattered, protruding from his flesh.

Supersonic!

Just now, the Sravaka Body swung casually, and its arm directly struck a supersonic blow!

Wu Pifu was horrified in his heart, and the Sravaka Body more than ten meters away flashed across a distance of seven or eight meters, looking like it was about to appear before him again. At this life-and-death moment, Wu Pifu gathered all his Qi and blood, rushing from his spine all the way up into his brain's spiritual platform.

Mind negative backlash rate ten percent... fifteen percent... twenty percent!

At this instant, Wu Pifu entered the state of entering the devil, and it wasn't even the ten percent critical point of controllable devil-entering, but directly crossed the critical point to the twenty percent state.

Just as the Sravaka Body stepped before Wu Pifu and swung its arm again, producing a supersonic effect, Wu Pifu's entire body's muscles seemed to squirm like worms. Every muscle, every piece of skin, every joint seemed to have its own consciousness. His physical body twisted and squirmed. If one looked from afar, it actually looked somewhat similar to this Sravaka Body.

Just as the Sravaka Body swung its arm and the shockwave erupted, Wu Pifu's right arm muscles squirmed, and he also struck out with an arm, a shockwave also erupting. The two arms collided.

With a loud "Boom," the shockwave rushed out like a bomb. Wu Pifu's right arm shattered again, and his entire person was knocked flying four or five meters away. But this time, the Sravaka Body's arm also shattered a small section, and threads immediately coiled up, turning into an arm.

Mind negative backlash rate twenty percent... twenty-five percent... thirty percent!

Wu Pifu did not stand up again, but bent his legs, his arms landing on the ground, his entire person standing horizontally like a wild beast. His body's muscles seemed to turn into fluid, his bones began to move and combine at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after the muscles flowed, they seemed to turn into blocks. The shattered left and right arms were almost simultaneously covered by muscles, turning into shapes similar to hammers.

The Sravaka Body stepped forward again, but this time, it was Wu Pifu who struck first. While the shockwave roared, the Sravaka Body was directly knocked back three or four meters. But it had just landed and hadn't had time to do anything when Wu Pifu had already pounced before it, his mouth opening to the point of jaw dislocation, even breaking. At the same time, his gums were squeezed by muscles and protruded, directly biting fiercely onto the Sravaka Body's shoulder.

The Sravaka Body struck Wu Pifu's back with an arm. While his spine broke, Wu Pifu twisted his head fiercely, directly biting off a large chunk of threads from the Sravaka Body's shoulder. Once separated from its body, these threads immediately turned into fly ash. Then, when the Sravaka Body's second arm struck, Wu Pifu used his legs to stomp, pressing the Sravaka Body and rolling on the ground.

As long as this Sravaka Body touched the ground, touched the metal, or touched the matter of this world, the threads composing its body began to be corroded and carbonized.

Wu Pifu was already completely insane at this time, his entire person turning into some kind of muscle-bone monster that no longer looked human. The muscles anywhere on his body began to lump, his bones began to twist and turn into bone spurs. At the same time, facing the Sravaka Body, he also bit, pulled, tore, hammered, bumped, and threw. This was no longer any martial art, but some kind of beastly instinct. He fought with this Sravaka Body throughout the entire sleep chamber, continuously smashing and breaking two sleep chambers, then hitting the wall, then hitting the ceiling. Both of their strengths were massive, and their vitality was tenacious. They fought, tore, and bombed crazily in this sleep chamber until Wu Pifu bit the Sravaka Body's neck again with his mouth, which was more than half missing. The threads in his mouth turned into fly ash.

There was no Sravaka Body under Wu Pifu anymore, only a charred black mass slowly dissipating.

Wu Pifu scratched the metal floor a few more times, then half-stood his body and roared toward the sky, his pupils only left with blood red. Then he turned his head and was about to pounce toward the bodies of Amida and Xu Shilan lying on the ground.

Just before he was about to pounce, a very, very low "chirp" sound rang out.

Although this sound was very low, in Wu Pifu's ears at this moment, it sounded like a thunderclap.

Night, temple, little mute girl...

Gou Dan, little bird, bumping head...

Partner, Third War, Amida...

Comrade-in-arms, giant, Xu Shilan...

Scenes flickered in Wu Pifu's consciousness, and at this time, the Sleepless Spiritual Light, which was extremely weak in the boundless dark void, seemed to have received some fuel and suddenly flickered brightly.

In Wu Pifu's consciousness, his consciousness as "I" began to revive intermittently, and these static scenes also began to flow, turning into the flickering past in his memory...

!

"Ah!"

Wu Pifu roared loudly, the blood-red pupils gradually fading. Then he collapsed to the ground, because at this moment his body had become twisted, his hands and feet had become strange structures, and his spine had also broken.

He looked fiercely at Amida, Xu Shilan, and Jiu Jiu in Xu Shilan's hand lying on the ground.

Even though his whole body was in severe pain, even though he only wanted to sleep now, he still moved forward on the metal floor bit by bit, relying on his upper jaw.

Wu Pifu moved bit by bit to the side of the two people and one bird. Behind him was a floor full of flesh and blood fragments. At the same time, parts of his muscles were already dissolving, turning into blood, lymph, and other things.

He nudged Amida with his head, then nudged Xu Shilan. He could perceive with his skin that the two no longer had heartbeats, and their blood had already turned cold. What was even more terrifying was... a large part of their bodies had turned into paper or threads, even occupying a large part of their heads. And Jiu Jiu had also stopped moving, and a large part of its body and wings had also turned into paper or threads...

Blood flowed from Wu Pifu's eye sockets. He couldn't distinguish what this was. At this time, he could only use the bone spurs protruding from his flesh to hook the two people and one bird, crawling toward the medical station area bit by bit.

One minute, two minutes, ten minutes... thirty minutes, sixty minutes...

Wu Pifu's upper jaw had shattered to the nasal cavity, but he still climbed forward, kowtowing bit by bit. The short distance to the medical station now felt as far as the ends of the earth.

Wu Pifu finally entered the medical station. He pushed open the medical chamber's door button with his broken tongue, pressed the fully automatic medical button, and then tried hard to stand up his upper body, even if the price was directly breaking his twisted bones and spine. He sent Amida into the medical chamber, then sent Xu Shilan in as well. Finally, he put Jiu Jiu into his own open throat, then moved to a medical chamber, climbing bit by bit, sliding in bit by bit, until the medical chamber closed completely.

Wu Pifu, with blood and tears flowing from his eyes, fell into darkness...

In the darkness, there was suddenly light. Wu Pifu instinctively looked toward the light. The light immediately began to spread, dispelling the darkness. He found himself standing in an elegantly decorated bedroom, and there were several dolls on the large bed in this bedroom.

"Cough."

A cough made Wu Pifu look over. He saw Xu Shilan wearing a gorgeous dress, turning around and blocking those dolls.

Xu Shilan smiled at Wu Pifu.
