Purgatory Artist-Chapter 471: Surrender

Battle.

Liu Ping took a deep breath and raised his blade.

Now was the time for battle!

But his body was trembling non-stop, as if his soul and body had already confirmed that he could not win against the other party.

"Mortals always think that they can control their fate, but they don't know that the things they want to change are actually controlling their everything."

The giant let out a buzzing sound.

It exuded a boundless aura of despair, and an incomprehensible power spread out in all directions in waves.

Andrea pressed her hand on Liu Ping's back.

In an instant.

Liu Ping felt that he had obtained an unprecedented power.

This power did not need to be taught, nor did it need to be practiced, it was like an innate ability!

"I would like to resist and see."

Liu Ping said.

His body flashed, and the Warden Blade in his hand suddenly turned into a blade aura that connected heaven and earth, slashing towards the giant.

The giant did not move at all, a tentacle on its body stretched out and gently blocked in front of it.

Clang!

A crisp sound.

The blade aura suddenly dimmed and disappeared.

"Among mortals, you are considered outstanding, but mortals will never be able to defeat us."

As the giant spoke, it slowly raised its finger.

Liu Ping's pupils shrank.

In the blink of an eye, Andrea bellowed.

"Dragon Shield!"

A dragon-shaped dark red tower shield suddenly appeared in Liu Ping's hand.

Immediately after, the huge impact hit the dragon shield.

Liu Ping was instantly sent flying.

The void was torn apart.

He pierced through the void and crashed into another world, falling towards the ground of that world like a meteor.

Boom!!!

Liu Ping crashed into the ground, creating a huge crater.

Two lines of burning words quickly appeared:

[At the last second, you put the Warden Blade back into the scabbard, thus activating the power of the scabbard: 'Rotation']

[The current world's ground took the attack for you.]

Liu Ping gritted his teeth.

The other party's attack was too fast.

No, not only was it fast, but it contained an immeasurable force, so much so that he was hit before he could even react.

Fortunately, Andrea released a shield and bought him some time.

Taking advantage of that moment, he put the Warden Blade back into the scabbard and finally activated the power of 'Rotation'.

"Andrea, is there a way to fight?"

He asked.

"Even in the Nightmare Stratum, the other party is one of the top existences, and you have just summoned me, there is no way to fight," Andrea said.

She stared at the void with a focused and serious expression, as if she was looking at a scene from another world.

Liu Ping sighed and pressed his hand on the Baina Saber in front of his chest.

"How is it? Have you figured out a way to kill the Nightmare Entity? "he asked.

"The bad news is that I haven't figured it out yet. The good news is that I can absorb all of your Nightmare Bloodline and turn myself into a demonic blade. Perhaps I can hurt him," Baina Blade said.

"I'll lose my Nightmare Bloodline? This is the result of your research? "Liu Ping asked.

"Yes, using a Nightmare Artifact against a Nightmare Entity is the only way to injure him," Baina Blade said.

Deep in the sky.

A huge figure appeared quietly and descended rapidly towards Liu Ping's location.

"I'll give you the Nightmare Breed bloodline!" Liu Ping said.

"Alright!" Baina said.

It stabbed into Liu Ping's chest and suddenly shook.

Liu Ping only felt a bone-piercing pain.

The next moment.

The saber flew out of his chest and landed gently in Liu Ping's hand.

The entire saber had lost its metallic luster and turned into a pure blade of flesh and blood.

Liu Ping held the wriggling saber and looked up at the sky.

The giant's voice echoed between heaven and earth:

"Everything you've done is futile, mortal."

"Today, I'll cut off all your hopes and let you know that all living beings should recognize fate and obey it."

The world darkened.

A huge hand that spanned across heaven and earth pressed down on Liu Ping.

Liu Ping tied the Warden Saber to his back and slashed at the sky with the blade of flesh and blood in his hand!

The huge hand paused for a moment and then pressed down on Liu Ping at an even faster speed.

Boom!!!!

The ground split apart as if it didn't exist.

Liu Ping was directly sent deep into the ground by this palm. Along the way, he crushed countless rocks and minerals and went through the entire world.

He couldn't see anything. Only two lines of small burning words still appeared in front of his eyes:

[The Warden Saber Scabbard's' Rotation 'is still running.]

[Everything in the world, even the world, is sharing the damage for you.]

Suddenly.

The surrounding sand and magma were instantly emptied.

Liu Ping found that he continued to fall downwards and sank into an ocean.

He had actually been punched through a world!

Damn it!

This fellow was actually so powerful. It was much more powerful than all the nightmares he had encountered!

Was there any way to find its weakness?

Or rather, was there any way to hurt it before he died?

Liu Ping clenched the blade of flesh and blood in his hand.

Just as he was about to fight to the death, Andrea's voice suddenly sounded:

"Don't fight with it. It's a king-like existence in nightmares. You can't defeat it now."

"Then what should I do?" Liu Ping asked.

"Liu Ping, listen carefully."

Andrea's voice sounded nervous and cautious, "The ending of this matter is that I'll be taken away by it and placed in the Nightmare Underground Crypt one day in the future. At that moment, you'll save me again."

"So I'll be by your side in the future!"

Liu Ping was stunned and said, "Then ..."

Andrea said, "Because you've successfully summoned me and saved me in the future."

"The crux of the problem now is how you can escape from its hands."

"You have to survive to have the chance to see me in the future. Only then can you obtain that glimmer of hope to defeat it!"

Liu Ping fell into deep thought and said, "We've lost the Historian. History can't be fixed ... It's so strong. If it finds out that I faked my death, it'll probably immediately return to this period of history to kill me."

"So not only do you have to survive, you have to stall for time until the new Recorder of History arrives!" Andrea said, but she was not confident.

This matter was too difficult.

What method was there to escape from its hands?

The sky suddenly turned dark.

The outline of the giant covered the sky again.

Its voice was mixed with a hint of excitement and resounded throughout the world:

"Why aren't you resisting? I was prepared to use you as a nail to pierce through all the worlds on this divine pillar before attacking, soul that yearns for battle. "

Liu Ping's mind flashed. He suddenly put down the blade of flesh and blood and said, "Hey, I'm not fighting anymore."

The other party's surprised voice came from the sky:

"You're not fighting anymore?"

"I've already experienced how strong you are. I admit that living beings are no match for you, this is a very obvious fact," Liu Ping replied.

"Resist, human. If you don't resist, I'll kill you right now." the giant said.

"Why do you want me to resist so badly?" Liu Ping asked.

"I want to see your despair. You've worked hard for countless lifetimes, only to end up like this. This is a rare pleasure for me," the giant said.

After Liu Ping heard this, he simply kept the Blade of Flesh and Blood and raised his hands high. "I surrender."

Without waiting for the giant to say anything, he continued:

"Come, kill me as you please. However, I only have one strand of remnant soul left, I'm afraid it won't even be enough to fill the gaps between your teeth.

"If you don't resist, I'll kill you right away" the giant said.

There was a hint of disappointment in its tone.

"I wonder if I can choose the method of death? I really miss my home in this life. It was a prosperous cultivation world. If you agree to let me die in that world, in the past, I'll give you a secret in exchange. "Liu Ping asked.

"A secret?" the giant doubtfully asked.

"Yes, this secret is definitely worth the price." Liu Ping replied.

"Mortals, you've always thought that your secrets are precious, but unfortunately, in the eyes of existences like us, they're more or less laughable." the giant said.

"No! This secret is related to you, the enemy in your nightmares, and this secret is related to your personal benefits "Liu Ping said.

The giant went silent.

Suddenly.

Liu Ping felt a huge pulling force on his body.

Everything around him turned into nothingness.

He felt himself flying through the void of space, passing through countless time and space. Even the endless Laws of Reality couldn't follow him and were left far behind.

The world spun.

At the very next moment.

A world appeared in front of his eyes.

There was an unbroken chain of palaces in the sky, mountains on the ground, spirit energy drifting like wind and fog.

The cultivation world.

This was the cultivation world!

The giant's cold voice came again:

"Speak, tell me your secret, and I will let you die here"

Liu Ping looked around with nostalgia in his eyes.

"[Sequence]" he silently called out.

[I'm here] the [Order] replied.

"This is the cultivation world of the past. In this world, I no longer need the Occult power of [Knowledge Is As Good As Your Name]."

[What do you mean?]

"Take it back, give me back my Divination ability!"

(TN: nail? something is flashing in my mind too XD)
