Abundant Martial Arts Virtue-Chapter 1024 - 863: Destroy It, Now!

Wu Xiaode opened his eyes.

The surrounding white light slowly faded, revealing an ancient city.

Rows of small bronze characters quietly appeared before his eyes:

"Heaven's information has been obtained."

"This is the dream technique, naturally forming an evil dream that will automatically find your weaknesses and lead you into dangers you cannot withstand."

"Once you suffer severe harm, you will be forcibly awakened from the dream."

"Note."

"— Absolutely do not wake up, awakening means complete death."

Very simple.

In short, do not suffer severe harm.

Wu Xiaode understood and was a bit curious.

Is this dream realm constructed out of nothing?

What is the origin of this ancient world?

As if knowing what he was thinking, another line of small bronze characters floated before him:

"The current dream realm is constructed from your past life."

Past life...

Wu Xiaode bewilderedly looked around.

On the ancient streets, people in traditional clothing walked back and forth.

Occasionally, streaks of light flew across the sky.

Some streaks of light even landed in the city.

— It's a world of cultivation.

Who was I in my past life?

He was curious, looking down at his attire.

He too was dressed in ancient garb, with a sword at his waist, exuding a formidable aura.

Countless memories suddenly surged into his mind.

It felt like his head was about to explode.

Wu Xiaode endured the headache, standing in a defensive posture, fearing a surprise attack.

The surroundings blurred momentarily.

No way!

How could it be that he'd wake up from the dream due to this bit of pain?

Wu Xiaode took a deep breath, calming his state of mind, striving to endure the pain in his head.

Countless images flickered through his mind.

A line of small characters popped out:

"Through this dream technique, you have awakened your past life memories."

The pain receded like a tide.

Wu Xiaode steadied himself, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed, saying:

"Although I'm accustomed to life and death, and familiar with Netherworld, awakening my past life memories always feels a bit strange."

A line of small bronze characters jumped out:

"Heaven's information reminds you, this technique automatically generates a dream realm, meaning it must have discovered a power in the current world that can cause you excessive harm, thus constructing your past life dream realm."

That's right!

Wu Xiaode became serious.

According to his past life's memories, this was the last day he lived.

On this day, something happened—

Mmm.

His head began to throb again.

He held his head, breathing steadily, controlling himself not to think about what happened on the last day.

In his past life, he was a formidable expert in Martial Arts.

The world.

Beyond the world.

In all worlds.

In human civilization, he had few rivals.

Among those who matched his strength, there were only a handful.

On this day, while taking a break in a not-so-famous world—

He had heard that the noodles here were particularly delicious—

He stopped in front of a noodle shop.

"..." Wu Xiaode was silent.

Could his death on the last day be related to this noodle shop?

No.

He paused for a moment.

Why not use the ability to sense where there's a problem?

Swoosh—

Boiling darkness enveloped Little Wu.

He emitted strands of Evil Spirit Power, like numerous tiny probes, starting to detect the surroundings.

Malice...

No malice detected.

Wu Xiaode couldn't help but shrug.

Since I'm here, why not enjoy a meal?

Even though it's a dream, the taste should perfectly replicate the past life.

So, let's eat.

He walked into the noodle shop, ordered noodles, and sat down to eat slowly.

— Nothing happened.

Afterwards.

He had another bowl of noodles before getting up and strolling through the streets.

Nothing was discovered.

Not a trace of malice.

Strange...

How exactly did I die in this lifetime?

Wu Xiaode was pondering silently when he suddenly saw a person standing in the middle of the road ahead.

This person was just a black silhouette, with the surrounding Void and everything nearby distorting, becoming unclear.

All life in the world withered silently.

All humans turned to ash.

Yet, the silhouette remained standing in place.

It seemed this shadow was the enemy.

In the past life, did I die because I couldn't beat him?

Let's try again this time!

"Who are you?"

Wu Xiaode asked.

The silhouette was silent for a moment, then said: "Who is using a technique like this dream to recreate your past life?"

"?" Wu Xiaode felt puzzled.

The other's words conveyed a sense of something deeper and more secretive.

He couldn't help but reassess the opponent.

— He had never seen such a creature; everything near him became obscure and unclear.

He naturally hid everything in this time and space.

Even if it was just a dream reenactment!

Wu Xiaode said: "In my past life, wasn't it you who killed me?"

The silhouette sensed for a moment in silence, then said:

"No... it's not your idea... it's an Evil Demon technique, you were forced into the past life dream realm."

The silhouette raised a hand, forming a strange handprint.

In an instant.

Everything vanished without a trace.

The world transformed.

Modern cityscape.

Familiar human world.

— Even Wu Xiaode himself was now in modern attire.

Wu Xiaode pondered, taking in the surroundings.

This is my current reality.

That is to say, the dream world has been changed.

It directly turned into a different era!

The one who cast this technique was the first Evil Demon in history, but its technique was altered by a silhouette!

"Who exactly are you?" Wu Xiaode couldn't help but ask.

The silhouette looked at him and said:

"I am the Dream Master who guards all secrets, naturally standing on the side of humans."

"Even Evil Demons cannot attack you in the dream."

"Please wait a few minutes. In your current reality, this technique will find nothing that threatens your life, and will completely disappear, then you can return."

The words fell.

The silhouette disappeared.

Only Wu Xiaode was left.

His gaze became deep, and he spoke:

"Heaven's Information, tell me, is there really such a Dream Master in the world?"

Heaven's Information gave no response.

God is All-knowing and All-powerful, but there is one thing he cannot do.

— He cannot lie.

At this moment, God gave no answer, yet Wu Xiaode had a thought in his mind.

He walked a distance on the street, passing a newsstand midway, and glanced at the newspapers.

— The date was three years ago.

He had just started the second year of junior high school.

So how exactly does this technique plan to deal with him?

This is clearly the future world he lives in, not some terrifying world.

Does that Evil Demon think he would be harmed in such a dream?

Nonsense.

Perhaps something is different about this dream?

Wu Xiaode's thoughts raced as he carefully observed the surroundings.

How could a non-threatening world bring serious harm to him?

He arrived at the school gate.

It was just after 7 in the morning.

Many students were entering the school gate.

By the way, would Sister Lan appear in this dream?

As he was thinking this, he saw Sister Lan hurriedly walking towards the school with her backpack.

Wu Xiaode's eyes lit up, wanting to greet her.

Xia Huilan had already seen him.

"Little Wu, what are you doing standing here? Class is about to start!"

She stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and hurriedly led him toward the school building.

As Wu Xiaode walked, he suddenly spoke:

"Sister Lan—"

Xia Huilan turned around in surprise, staring at him and said, "You're calling me sister? How old do you think I am!"

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding." Wu Xiaode quickly pleaded.

Yes.

Before Xia Huilan started working, he didn't call her that.

She is now a vibrant third-year senior high school student!

"Go to class quickly."

Xia Huilan patted his head and walked towards the high school building.

Wu Xiaode stood there for a while.

Everything around him started to blur.

—The dream technique was about to completely end.

It was clearly the supreme dream technique released by the first Evil Demon, yet it vanished so inexplicably.

Everything dissipated.

Wu Xiaode found himself back outside the manor.

He looked up, his gaze sweeping past the thick forest, looking at that Evil Demon.

The Evil Demon was already gone.

"Combat records."

Wu Xiaode said softly.

The Evil Spirit Book opened, showing lines of small bronze characters:

"Your technique hit the opponent, and the opponent's dream technique also hit you."

"Both of you entered dreams."

"The opponent was completely destroyed."

After reading, Wu Xiaode couldn't help but ask:

"How was the opponent destroyed?"

Two lines of small bronze characters appeared:

"The Evil Spirit Book is the manifestation of your abilities, following you and sensing everything."

"At the moment of the opponent's destruction, the Evil Spirit Book followed you in your past life's dream, and thus does not know how the opponent was destroyed."

This was not over, more lines of small bronze characters appeared:

"It's dawn."

"You have completed all tests."

"Congratulations."

"Currently, you have obtained the fourth card of the 'Pilgrimage':"

"Eternal Egg."

A card steadily floated in front of Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode was silent for a long time.

At a certain moment.

He suddenly reached out, took the card, and then drew out the Butterfly Soul Knife.

With this long knife, he fully executed a sword technique—

Long Moon Sparse Shadows!

The blade instantly split the Void, revealing the scene of another world.

Wu Xiaode jumped in.

He rode the wind, flying for a while, and then landed on the deep crimson Blood Sea, standing on a small bamboo raft.

"You've arrived." Gu Qingshan said.

"Yes, I've arrived." Wu Xiaode responded.

"You shouldn't have come." Gu Qingshan said.

"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked curiously.

"Don't be excited," Gu Qingshan waved his hand and said, "It's just a line from a novel, tell me why you came."

"You're the Doomsday, right?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Yes." Gu Qingshan replied.

"Able to destroy everything?"

"Correct."

"I have something to ask of you."

"What is it?"

Wu Xiaode opened the Evil Spirit Book and directly took out the "Eternal Egg" card, spoke:

"Destroy this card, immediately."

Gu Qingshan looked at the card and said, "This is the fourth card of the 'Pilgrimage', it is of great use to you—Is there something wrong with it?"

"I don't know." Wu Xiaode replied.

"You don't know?" Gu Qingshan asked in surprise.

"Yes, I don't know if there's anything wrong with it, I just know my purpose—" Wu Xiaode continued: "To stop all Evil Demons from climbing up the Eternal Pillar, reaching the Holy Realm, and becoming the masters of the era."

"Yes, right, but what does that have to do with destroying this card?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"Without this card, the 'Pilgrimage' will be incomplete, they should not be able to reach the Holy Realm." Wu Xiaode said.

"Then you won't be able to go to the subsequent 'Pilgrimage' worlds, nor get other cards in the deck." Gu Qingshan said.

"I don't need to go, as long as I keep the cards from the previous worlds in my hands." Wu Xiaode replied.

"Makes sense, alright then."

Gu Qingshan stood up, an endless Power of Eternal Destruction surging in his body.

At this moment—

Wu Xiaode's hand suddenly trembled.

The card flickered and flew back to him, disappearing at once.
