Eternal Night.

Chapter 949 The Special Nature of Wu Pifu and Three Months

The explanation of the source of pollution in this Buddhist treasury by the First Buddha is not comprehensive. It only involves the position and level. As for the accumulation, characteristics, location, and the situation of the dream world, sentient beings, and the origin of the absolute reality layer, all of these have not been explained. These are hidden in other Buddhist treasuries or the three First Buddha treasuries.

At the same time, Wu Pifu also received a small gift from this Buddhist secret treasure... Compared to the core of the Buddhist secret treasure, the information about the source of pollution and the essence of the dream world explained by the First Buddha, the treasures left by the Six Great Buddhas or the First Buddha in the Buddhist secret treasure can indeed only be considered small gifts.

The small gift in this Buddhist secret treasure is the Ultimate Freedom Technique, a technique that Wu Pifu had obtained before, but only in fragments, and only one percent of its content. This time, after being judged by Taiyi and the world, the portion he obtained was confirmed to be six percent, meaning he now possesses seven percent of the Ultimate Freedom Technique.

"Ultimate Skill (7%)".

"...This is the blessing of Heaven, the greatest mercy bestowed upon us by a powerful force in the unseen realm. But it is too difficult; we cannot understand it, we cannot understand it, we cannot understand it..."

"Originating from some unknown thing, it enabled... for three consecutive epochs... for five consecutive epochs... for ten consecutive epochs... and finally... from multiple secondary transmissions of information, the original version of the Free and Ultimate Technique was created. However, due to the original version being too powerful, it was punished by the heavens, and its fragmentation and disintegration were endless. Later, the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was created based on the original version. This is one percent of the information of the original Free and Ultimate Technique."

"Passive skill, cannot be taught, cultivated, comprehended, or actively used. It can greatly enhance the compatibility of multiple extraordinary paths. For every additional 1%, an ordinary person can learn an extra extraordinary path, ignoring the backlash and negative effects of multiple extraordinary paths, but will suffer the ultimate negative consequences. For those with the ultimate path, every additional 1% reduces the ultimate negative effects of multiple extraordinary paths by 1%. Collecting all of them grants immunity to the ultimate negative consequences, but will result in endless pursuit after the ultimate negative consequences manifest. This technique has the same effect on ordinary people and those with the ultimate path. Every 1% increase enhances the strength of all techniques by 10%, with a maximum stacking of 1000% enhancement to the effects of all techniques. Collecting all of them allows one to trace the origin of this technique..."

"...The judgment is complete. Once you have collected 100% of the Ultimate Instinct, you can trigger the Transcendent Mission... Tracing the Source."

"The ability to return to one's origin lies in the source of the Ultimate Intent Technique, learning the technique, and engaging in unrestrained combat... Error, error, error..."

This is the complete assessment of the Free and Easy Ultimate Skill. Wu Pifu thought it was incredibly awesome. He didn't know exactly how awesome it was, but he suspected that it might be a variant of another True Rank skill. Its original version, something like the Free and Easy Battle, was probably a True Rank skill.

This thing's effect is simply heaven-defying. For every additional 1%, an ordinary person can learn an extra extraordinary path, ignoring the backlash and negative effects of multiple extraordinary paths. It's practically like creating an ultimate seed. Although it will suffer the ultimate negative consequences, it's almost invincible before that. As for cultivating the ultimate seed, it can be immune to the ultimate negative consequences. Although it will suffer endless pursuit after the ultimate negative consequences manifest, it's still incredibly powerful. Most importantly, for every 1% increase, it can increase the strength of all cultivation techniques by 10%. Right now, it's equivalent to increasing the strength of all cultivation techniques by 70%!

This is a prestigious private seating area!
That's equivalent to a 70% hard increase in his overall strength without any reduction!

These were all of Wu Pifu's gains: he had learned the essence of the pollution source and gained some resistance to attacks from True-level beings. However, the prerequisite was that the attacks from True-level beings could only be incidental and not proactive attacks like those from fish and butterflies.

This is also why Wu Pifu was able to recover and ignore the feeling of despair he had felt before; he now considered the damage caused by the source of pollution to be false.

(But it shouldn't be that simple to do. This might be related to my special nature, but... this Buddhist secret doesn't mention my special nature. For example... why can I kill a True Person with a mortal body? Is my skill really that overpowered?)

Wu Pifu didn't believe that the skills he created as a mortal using all his future potential could be so overpowered, ignoring all social status and directly engaging in a battle of essence, where whoever won would live. Theoretically speaking, as long as he could avoid the terrifying and indescribable aftershocks of the pollution source, and the pollution source was anchored to him and hadn't noticed him, then he could theoretically kill the pollution source...

Even if you're absolutely right, so what? It's still a fight to the death!
Of course, all of this is just theoretical...

But what's the reason?
Is he really that awesome?

Now Wu Pifu truly understood just how defying the heavens was the prerequisite of "ignoring social status".

While Wu Pifu silently memorized the information from the Buddhist esoteric teachings, organized his findings, and waited for his body to heal, his physical injuries began to recover at an unimaginable speed. Everything was just as the Buddha had said. As long as he did not believe that the source of pollution had affected or harmed him, then all the injuries, aftereffects, and other effects from his previous injuries began to "disappear," as if they had never happened at all.

Wu Pifu reaffirmed that this was not a healing ability, nor could it be a contingency plan left by the First Buddha in the Buddhist Treasury. Apart from the Ultimate Freedom Technique, the only other thing in the Buddhist Treasury was the explanation left by the First Buddha regarding the position and magnitude of the source of pollution.

All of this "healing" is a supernatural phenomenon that violates the most basic logic and concepts, and the root cause of all this is simply "disbelief." Wu Pifu also experienced the terror of real existence by taking on the role of the source of pollution.

"...If I were to completely destroy its essence, and the source of pollution simply 'disbelieves,' wouldn't the essence be able to regenerate and heal itself out of thin air? Or, in this situation, would it be a matter of who believes more that they've killed the other, and who disbelieves less that they're not dead?" Unable to understand, Wu Pifu's knowledge of the existence of True Personalities was still too limited.

However, by this time his injuries had completely healed, without a trace of remaining damage. He didn't delay any longer, picked up his knife and went to the vehicle's hatch, saying to Qing, "You control the flight direction, and I'll cut a path through."

"Oh, okay, by the way, I just mentioned that I dreamt about..." Qing was about to speak when he saw Wu Pifu slip out of the hatch. He swallowed back his thoughts and began to seriously open the vehicle control page on the exoskeleton armor.

Outside the vehicle, Wu Pifu stood in mid-air. Relying on the enhanced version of Ultra Instinct, even though his control over his body had not improved significantly, his strength was still approaching his peak.

At this moment, Wu Pifu swung his knife forward and slashed fiercely. Under the true damage within five steps, the polluted scene that trapped the vehicle began to collapse inch by inch from nearby, and then spread to the rear. A chain reaction of collapse occurred. In this collapsing scene, Wu Pifu didn't even have time to take a look at what the polluted scene was before the vehicle rushed out and came into the real space from the chaos.

Outside, Wu Pifu and Qing saw a large number of polluted scenes on the ground below, just like in District 13. All sorts of strange things were rampant, and the terrain, buildings, and physics had all been altered by the polluted scenes. However, unlike District 13, the vehicle scan showed that there were no ordinary people or ordinary life here. All that roamed below were monsters, curses, pollution, and so on.

“…Let’s go back.” Wu Pifu sighed and said to Qing.

Qing nodded heavily, then continued to manipulate something with his exoskeleton armor. But after a moment, his face turned deathly pale, and he said to Wu Pifu in a trembling voice, "Dude, we're done for. We don't know how long we've been unconscious... I can't contact command!"

Wu Pifu's heart sank; this was also what he was most worried about.

When he faced pure pollution in the first district, his actions caused the power of the pollution source to spread, and he was even in a near-death state. He didn't know how long this state lasted, after all, it was in the pollution, and the timer on the vehicle could not be accurate. In the outside world, perhaps dozens of days, hundreds of days, or even years or decades had passed.

"...Following the passage to other districts, I sense there are still living people; it shouldn't be a total wipeout yet," Wu Pifu said.

Qing was so anxious that tears welled up in his eyes. After all, he was different from Wu Pifu. Wu Pifu was just a passerby here, but this place was his everything. At this moment, he was completely lost. Upon hearing Wu Pifu's words, he instinctively controlled the vehicle and flew towards the second district at top speed.

However, when the vehicle flew over the second zone, what they saw was still a bizarre scene, with all sorts of polluted conditions throughout the second zone. However, it was slightly better than the first zone, as there were some ordinary living people scattered around hiding in the second zone. Seeing this, Wu Pifu and Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were also heavy.

The good news is that humanity in the multidimensional universe hasn't been completely wiped out yet; the bad news is that it's probably close to it...

"Keep going, full speed ahead!"

Meanwhile, in the Tenth District, a war between high technology and the supernatural is breaking out. The high-tech side consists of various beam weapons, electromagnetic weapons, vehicles, drones, exoskeletons, mechs, and so on, while the supernatural side consists of various puppets, elements, zombies, and independently flying weapons. Battles are taking place in various areas of the Tenth District.

"It's no use, my fellow countrymen. You may be able to hold out for a while longer, but as time goes by, your morale will collapse, your weapons and energy reserves will run out, while we... will only grow stronger!"

"Your original being has been missing for over three months; he has perished in a nightmare!"

"There are differences between even the Primal Creators. You should have realized this long ago. We are the future, and the Supreme Immortal Race is about to be fully revived!"

"Hand over the last three main control systems you possess, then send personnel to search for the lost world of the first main control system, the thirteenth main control system, Taiyi, which is trapped in the nightmare of the first district. Then, fairly select nine-tenths of the volunteers to serve the Immortal Clan Supreme..."

"This is your only choice!!"
