Purgatory Artist
Chapter 523: Facing the Nightmare!

Chapter 523: Facing the Nightmare!

The collapse of the tunnel slowly stopped.

Liu Ping stood in front of the tunnel with his Blade in hand, calming himself down.

As long as he doesn’t let this monster absorb the souls of living beings, its strength won’t rise to an unsolvable level.

The monster stood not too far away and spoke:「 Strange living being, you have two choices now 」

"What choices?" Liu Ping asked.

The monster replied: 「 The first option is to immediately tell me where you came from. That way, I might spare your life and kill you later; the other option is to die right here and now 」

"You also have two choices. " Liu Ping said.

「 Me? 」 the monster was surprised.

" Either you die here, or you go somewhere else to find energy — — - either way, you’re no match for me right now. " Liu Ping said.

The monster’s expression froze, then spoke after a while: 「 No one has ever dared to talk to me like that 」

" Congratulations, you do now." Liu Ping said.

The Blade flashed.

Thousands of streaks of cold light instantly covered the entire underground tunnel like broken lines.

Almost in an instant, these sword auras surrounded the monster in the middle and slashed its body completely airtight.

The monster didn’t move at all, only waiting for the Blade phantoms to disappear before speaking: 「 You think too highly of yourself, you don’t know that all Blade techniques were designed by us, they can’t hurt us. 」

Liu Ping narrowed his eyes, only to see that there were no wounds on its body.

Yana’s voice silently came to his ears:

"Run, Liu Ping, there’s no way to fight this guy"

Maria also spoke up: "The female swordsman from before slashed it with her sword for several hours, but there weren’t any wounds on its body — — - it’s even stronger now!"

The monster suddenly showed an interested expression and spoke: 「 Your followers are right, living beings can’t possibly win against us 」

"You can hear them talking to me?" Liu Ping was confused.

At the very next moment, his expression changed and swung his Blade behind him.

Almost at the same time, the monster appeared behind him — — -

Before the Blade phantoms could even be unleashed, it was already knocked back by the monster and sent flying together with Liu Ping.

Rumble rumble rumble — — -

The deafening sound of impact continued for a while before stopping.

The monster slowly spoke: 「 In order for living beings to gain the ability to hunt and fight with each other, to gain the ability to survive, we gave living beings cold weapons and various other powers. 」

Liu Ping’s voice came from the ruins: "So my saber technique can’t hurt you?"

The monster replied: 「 Of course you wouldn’t be able to harm me. All of your techniques came from our settings, so you were destined to be unable to harm us from the very beginning 」

Whoosh.

With a sound, the bricks were pushed away. Liu Ping stood up again and said,

"Really? I don’t believe it. "

All of a sudden, he disappeared from where he was standing. His long sword flew through the tunnel like a gust of wind, slashing the monster countless times.

The monster remained motionless, allowing the endless saber auras to hit it. It even said leisurely,

「Most of the time, living beings think that they have mastered some skill, but this is actually because they have reached a certain standard. Therefore, they are automatically granted new skills and knowledge.」

"They all came from you?" Liu Ping asked.

「 Indeed, this is the knowledge that we had already prepared for you — — - for example, this Blade technique of yours, you thought that you had trained it yourself, but it was actually a Blade technique that we had prepared for all living beings. Once your soul reached a certain level, you would automatically comprehend it, this is called ’enlightenment’ 」 the monster shrugged.

The wind and the blade radiance disappeared.

There were no wounds on the monster’s body, as if it had just been blown by a gust of wind.

"If we were enlightened, what benefits would that bring to you?" Liu Ping asked.

「 This proves that your soul’s level has improved, becoming more delicious and powerful 」 the monster replied.

"How despairing." Liu Ping sighed.

「 Food has emotions, that’s a sad thing, I’m going to eat you right now. 」 the monster declared.

The eerie presence on its body condensed and turned into overwhelming killing intent.

Li Zhangxue suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ping and drew her sword: "Go to Eternal Night, quickly! I’ll stall it! "

Yana and Maria also appeared.

"Go!" Yana used her hand to push Liu Ping away, sending him flying in front of the tunnel that led to Eternal Night.

Liu Ping glanced down at the tunnel.

— — -At this point, as long as I jump down, I’ll be able to leave Purgatory.

Will this monster chase after me?

Does it also need to be recognized as’ dead ’by the Laws of Purgatory in order to enter Eternal Night?

I created the [Sealed Corpse Yin] technique, which can be verified by the Laws of Purgatory, but this monster might not be able to!

Perhaps if I jump down, I’ll be able to escape.

However — — -

He looked at the three girls in front of him and suddenly shouted: "Lilith!"

Three consecutive noises.

The three girls turned back into Cards and returned to the Tome.

Liu Ping held the Card Tome tightly and muttered: "Seal them away, don’t let them cause trouble"

"Got it," Lilith replied nervously.

Watching this from afar, the monster smirked: 「 You’re not going to run anymore?」

"I’m not used to having people block attacks for me." Liu Ping put the Card Tome away, raised his Blade again, and slowly walked towards the monster.

「 Then prepare to die 」 the monster casually said.

"Think about it, the nightmare tide hasn’t descended yet, you can’t face me at full strength" Liu Ping said.

「 That’s right 」 the monster admitted.

"With my countless experiences against you, do you really think I still can’t injure you? No, I refuse to believe it today. "Liu Ping said.

He was getting closer and closer to the monster.

The monster sighed, then spoke with a bored tone: 「 Living beings always make us laugh with their shallow knowledge, but that’s fine, I’ll make sure you understand your own shallowness before you die 」

At the very next moment.

The man and monster both disappeared.

Boom!!!

The entire underground tunnel trembled and began to collapse.

Liu Ping appeared where the monster originally stood, a yaksha mask had appeared on his face at some unknown point.

The monster stood not too far away and shook his head: 「 It’s useless, the Demonic Gods are nothing but a type of setting, they seem to be able to control living beings, but their abilities are actually very limited. We are the True Gods who created everything, you can even call us Gods 」

Liu Ping’s voice came from behind the yaksha mask: "Gods eat people?

I don’t find that funny at all "

Not only did he put on the yaksha mask, he even gave himself the Saint title of [Saint of the Tides] — — -

Even though he didn’t know what use that would have.

But as long as it could provide him with even the slightest bit of help, Liu Ping wouldn’t hesitate.

Rocks began to fall from above.

The underground tunnel also began to collapse.

— — their short exchange had already reached the point where this world couldn’t handle it anymore.

「I’ll make sure you die before this world is destroyed.」The monster casually said, moved his hands a bit, then casually walked towards Liu Ping.

Liu Ping took a deep breath, switched the Bai Na Blade to his left hand, then drew the Warden Blade.

He slowly sped up, then abruptly raised his hands, his twin blades turning into a long line that stretched across the world.

The tunnel ahead of him suddenly broke apart.

The monster lightly twisted its body, occasionally taking a step forward to avoid all the Blade phantoms.

As soon as Liu Ping pulled his blades back, it suddenly swung its arm and sent Liu Ping flying with a single punch.

But as soon as Liu Ping was sent flying, he suddenly vanished.

The other ’him’ used the inertia to nimbly return to where he was.

The monster spoke with interest: 「 Two ’you’, twin blades, 31 Blade Secret Techniques, 26 enlightened Blade Arts, and even in the end, you still couldn’t hit me, and instead lost a parallel world clone — — - seems like you’ve run out of tricks 」

Liu Ping went silent briefly, then calmly said: "Sure enough, you saw through all my techniques"

「 Time to go, I hope your soul is also delicious 」 the monster said.

Its body abruptly gave off a blinding white light that illuminated the entire tunnel, while it turned into a blurred image that charged towards Liu Ping.

At this moment.

Countless memories flashed through Liu Ping’s mind, even the scene of him fighting against the monster for the first time many lifetimes ago.

There’s no other way.

There’s no other way.

It couldn’t be helped.

— — -Throughout the countless years, I’ve never won against a nightmare monster.

No living being has ever won against a nightmare monster.

Even the knowledge and skills of living beings were bestowed by them.

Even the enlightenment of living beings only activated the measures they set up, allowing living beings to obtain different skills and knowledge — — - and this was only to let them know that living beings like this were more delicious.

How laughable.

How — — despairing — —

Do I have to rely on ’deception’ to escape again?

The only thing that can work against them is’ deception ’...

No.

That’s not right!

Liu Ping suddenly trembled.

In the blink of an eye, the monster had already arrived in front of him.

「 I’m going to eat you 」

It grabbed Liu Ping, then opened its mouth wide as if trying to suck something from its stomach.

Bam — — -

A dull and irritating sound resounded.

Even the void of space was torn apart by this sound, not closing for a long time.

The monster’s hand had been pushed away by Liu Ping!

「 Huh? 」

It exclaimed in surprise, then tried to grab Liu Ping with its other hand.

Liu Ping also reached out with his other hand and lightly pressed forward, as if he knew what was going to happen, he pressed it on the monster’s wrist.

A thick layer of frost appeared, freezing him and the monster’s hand together.

「 What is this!? 」

The monster shouted.

A flash of light appeared in Liu Ping’s eyes.

— — -It doesn’t know.

This monster, it knows all the skills and abilities set up for living beings, but it doesn’t know what this is!

The monster instinctively wanted to push Liu Ping away, but Liu Ping used their frozen hands to dissolve the force, then used his other hand to punch the

monster’s stomach with all his might.

The monster was sent flying.

At this point, Liu Ping’s hand was still connected to the monster’s!

He chased after it, then punched the monster several hundred times with one hand to disperse the frost, took a few steps back, and assumed a defensive stance.

Boom!!!

The monster was sent flying, crashing into the tunnel, causing the entire tunnel to collapse.

After a while.

It pushed away the bricks on top of its body, asking with a serious expression: 「 What kind of fist technique is this? 」

Liu Ping stood on the other side of the tunnel.

The bricks kept falling down, but he didn’t care at all, only muttering:

" There was once a pair of Dao companions, the female would have to spar with the male every night, if they didn’t spar, they wouldn’t be allowed to sleep"

" But every time the male won, the female would become angry out of humiliation and run away, closing the door of her cave dwelling and not letting anyone in "

" The two of them were about the same level of strength, if the male went easy on the female, he would be beaten to a pulp, or even injured, losing interest in doing whatever he wanted to do at night "

" That’s right, the male cultivator found me and asked me to create this fist technique, that way, not only would he be able to win, but he would also be able to prevent her from running away."

" That’s right, this fist technique has nothing to do with any of your settings."

" — — -this is a fist technique I created "
