Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 270
byIn an instant.
The body on the ground moved and sat up.
All the wounds on his body had healed, his heart was beating again, he opened his eyes and roared fiercely:
“What in the world is this place?”
“Seriously, this is a surprise I specially prepared.”
Shen Ye explained:
“I don’t know how many layers of worlds are nested, but you only need to observe the two mirrors facing each other to know the answer.”
Shen Ye, covered in seals, looked at a mirror.
The mirror showed the situation in the other mirror, which created a phenomenon of observation:
Inside the mirror was still a mirror.
Mirrors layered upon mirrors, extending as far as the eye could see.
“There’s always a starting point…”
The Emperor Species pondered.
“That’s right, there is, you can take your time to find it,” Shen Ye replied.
The ground was covered with frost, turning into a mirror underfoot.
The sky also formed a mirror with frost.
The whole world was full of mirrors.
How was he supposed to find anything?
“Break.”
The Emperor Species’ expression was grim as he uttered a single word.
In an instant.
All the mirrors shattered.
“You can’t trap me!”
He roared and charged forward.
The void was like a pane of glass, shattered by his impact, revealing another adjacent world.
—It was still a world of mirrors!
He refused to believe it and shattered the void again, arriving at another world.
It was still a world of mirrors.
He continued to shatter and traverse—
But no matter where he went, it was still a world of mirrors.
The Emperor Species stopped to rest.
The frosty air in the void condensed into a mirror, revealing another Shen Ye.
He clapped his hands and said,
“I heard that migrating between two worlds is extremely difficult, and you’ve done it so many times, which is truly remarkable.”
“Fool, how can a mirror world be considered a real world?” said the “Shen Ye” covered in sealing runes. “I will definitely find that first mirror, then get out and kill all of you Humans.”
“To find that one way out among billions of worlds—if you really hit that probability, I’ll admit that the world is destroyed.” Shen Ye gave a thumbs-up.
The Emperor Species broke through another world and disappeared from his sight.
“Hey,” Big Skeleton worriedly said.
“What?”
“What if it keeps crashing and really finds that initial mirror?” Big Skeleton asked worriedly.
“No way,” Shen Ye said.
“Why?”
“The initial ice mirror has already been shattered by his own hand.”
“The one that said ‘Win Your Mom’ when it first appeared?”
“Exactly, so there’s no going back.”
“But your body has been imbued as the ‘Underworld Lord.’ What if he learns ‘I Exist in the Mirror’…”
“He cut off my hands, so I can’t use that spell anymore.”
“Huh?” Big Skeleton paused, then suddenly realized.
Yes.
In one of the countless mirror worlds before this, Shen Ye’s hands had already been severed.
He couldn’t cast that spell!
“But what if it can regrow its hands?”
“You think it’s a lizard—even if they grow back, it’s fine. I bet by then the seal will have completely sealed him.”
“What if it hasn’t finished yet?” Big Skeleton asked worriedly.
He had a point.
Shen Ye looked into the void and said,
“Hey, why hasn’t it been sealed yet?”
The figure of the Spirit of Magic floated in mid-air.
“Its spatial abilities have been sealed—in fact, as soon as it appeared, I was fully focused on sealing that aspect of its power, to prevent it from returning directly to the great tomb.”
The Spirit of Magic said with a solemn expression.
“Its spatial ability is sealed, yet it can still shatter the void and enter another mirror world?” Shen Ye asked in surprise.
“That’s right, it broke through the void with pure power,” the Spirit of Magic explained.
“That’s too much,” Shen Ye clicked his tongue.
“Originally, I could have sealed all its abilities,” the Spirit of Magic said with some regret, “but unfortunately, it consumed the world entity named Lilith, and its power greatly increased.”
“—Even though it has stepped into this trap, I cannot completely seal it at once. I can only take my time.”
“Power from Lilith? That’s my fault then,” Shen Ye sighed.
Yes.
The Emperor Species ate with great relish.
—Otherwise, he wouldn’t have temporarily let me go.
The voice of the Spirit of Magic sounded again:
“I am working hard to seal its various powers, you must delay it a little longer.”
Time.
He still needed to buy more time.
He just feared that the worm might come up with a new plan…
Shen Ye stood up and suddenly disappeared along with the mirror.
In a certain mirror world.
The Emperor Species, covered in runes and seals, stood motionless.
He was using Shen Ye’s body and had a clear understanding of his condition.
“Such limited comprehension leads you to believe this can trap me… Humans truly are a laughable and arrogant race.”
“If only I hadn’t been so greedy, trying to subdue the core of the seal here…”
“Never mind, I’ll go back first—”
“Back to the great tomb, retrieve my true body, and then kill all of you Humans.”
The Emperor Species, controlling Shen Ye’s body, opened its mouth and spat out a mist of blood.
The blood fell in mid-air, condensing into a pair of bloody hands that reattached to his wrists.
The bloody hands formed a magical seal.
Phase Transformation · Heavenly Fate Disarray!
Endless blood light surged into the sky, surrounding the Emperor Species and crushing everything in its vicinity.
In an instant.
Billions upon billions, even uncountable mirror worlds were annihilated.
The great tomb reappeared before his eyes!
—He’s back!
“Shen Ye” landed, stepping on the giant finger.
But at the same moment.
A voice sounded in the darkness:
“I exist in the mirror.”
In that instant, “Shen Ye” saw the surroundings clearly and couldn’t help but curse:
“Damn—”
His voice stopped abruptly, and he disappeared as well.
In the depths of the dark abyss.
Every rock wall;
Every stone;
Even the gigantic statue—
All matter was covered in frost, condensed into a mirror surface.
Shen Ye in the mirror performed “I Exist in the Mirror” and jumped out of the mirror.
—In the same world, there could only be one of him!
So the “worm body,” whose spatial abilities had been sealed, was once again displaced into the ice mirror.
The Emperor Species was trapped in the mirror world again!
Shen Ye stood on the statue’s finger, holding the magical seal, unmoving.
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
The sound of shattering ice kept coming from all directions.
But as soon as the ice shattered, the Emperor Species flew out and was immediately sealed into other mirrors again!
And the broken ice would immediately refreeze into a mirror!
—The entire world was a gigantic ice mirror, seamless and inescapable!
The Emperor Species had lost its spatial ability.
Now—
No matter from which direction the Emperor Species broke through, it would immediately be replaced!
“How did you think of that?”
Big Skeleton was utterly impressed.
Just then, the Spirit of Magic appeared quietly and said,
“I’ve sealed its dharma phase.”
“That’s great,” Shen Ye said with a smile.
“But there’s a problem.”
“What?”
“It’s too strong. I’m sealing its magical abilities—it needs more time to seal completely. If anything goes wrong during this process, all our efforts will be in vain.”
Shen Ye sighed, only able to continue casting the magic seal to buy time.
The plan was beautiful.
But the sound of ice shattering grew more frequent, and in many places, the frost completely broke away, revealing the bare rock walls behind.
—The speed of freezing could barely keep up!
The void shimmered.
A figure suddenly appeared.
Behind it dragged eight long worm tails, and its head was covered in slender arms.
—The true form of the Emperor Species!
Shen Ye’s expression changed.
Not good, when its true form arrives—
The voice of the Spirit of Magic suddenly rang out:
“Its body rushed here instinctively, not controlled by its soul—don’t be afraid!”
Before the words finished, the Emperor Species’ voice overwhelmed the Spirit of Magic:
“You lowly slave, watch this spell carefully—it will make you recognize yourself!”
The true form of the Emperor Species suddenly let out a sharp screech.
A vast, irresistible wave of power erupted from its body, soaring into the sky, piercing through the rock walls, and disappearing.
What?
What did this true form do?
Shen Ye was still confused when he suddenly heard someone roar:
“Stop!”
—Xu Xingke!
He grabbed the true form of the Emperor Species, shot into the sky, instantly pierced through the rock wall, and disappeared.
Fortunately, my teacher helped me out!
But what did the worm’s true body do?
“Even if you seize my body now, it’s too late.”
The Emperor Species’ playful voice sounded again:
“This is a destructive spell stored in my body, and it’s a power that my true form possesses.”
“—To make two planets collide.”
“Release me quickly, otherwise your planet will collide with the planet named ‘Five Desires,’ and everything will be destroyed, with no way to remedy it.”
Shen Ye hadn’t had a chance to say anything when the Spirit of Magic’s anxious voice rang out again: “Don’t listen to it! Hold on a little longer, its magical abilities will be sealed soon!”
“…” Shen Ye.
No wonder Master was so angry.
But—
Given choice one: releasing the Emperor Species, everyone dies;
Choice two: after imprisoning it, if the planets collide, everyone dies; if a way can be found to solve the planetary collision, everyone lives.
Then definitely choose two!
I’m not an idiot!
More importantly—
From now on, I can’t just passively defend anymore.
It’s about to be sealed and it’s still so arrogant!
Shen Ye’s hand seal changed.
The worm-bodied Shen Ye, who had just flown out of the ice mirror, suddenly stiffened.
The surrounding scenery changed.
He was sealed back into the world of ice mirrors.
But.
This time it was different.
“You also entered this body? What do you want to do?”
The Emperor Species asked vigilantly.
—It already sensed that Shen Ye had also chosen this body, and his soul had returned to his body.
Shen Ye said nothing, simply pulled out an ice sword, and with all his might, pierced himself right through.
“That really hurts…”
Shen Ye grimaced and gasped.
In an instant, the Emperor Species took over the body and said with a mocking tone, “Suicide? I won’t allow you to die with me; you won’t die—but you will bear the pain. This is the consequence of your self-righteousness.”
“Bold,” Shen Ye praised.
This bug is really powerful.
This sword had already killed him, but it could find a way to revive him.
The two were in one body, neither could die!
But—
Faint light gathered into small characters, frantically refreshed:
“The Guanghan Sword is drawing your intrinsic power.”
“This intrinsic power drawn will belong to you.”
“Furthermore.”
“The target struck by the Guanghan Sword contains another entity; the Guanghan Sword is currently drawing its intrinsic power.”
Shen Ye jumped up as if electrocuted, roaring:
“You’re stealing my power!”
Its voice stopped abruptly.
In its place was the delighted and excited voice of the Spirit of Magic:
“The sealing is complete—most of its power has been sealed by me!”
Shen Ye moved his body and found that it was indeed true.
That cosmic giant worm, the Emperor Species, the legendary Dark Devourer, had been completely sealed within his body.
“Dare to seal me? Remember, your planet will collide, and your civilization and everything will turn to ashes.”
“This is the fate of you Humans.”
The Emperor Species said coldly.
“Bah.” Shen Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, not bothering to reply.
He found a mirror, leaned his back against it, and sat down, breathing heavily.
Too tired.
Damn it.
This kind of arduous and dangerous work, I’ll never do it again—
A surging power suddenly erupted from his body, turning into a fierce wind that swept in all directions.
His dharma form automatically appeared, floating behind him.
—Guanghan Palace!
“What’s going on?”
Shen Ye looked back, bewildered.
He saw that on the layered palace walls and jade buildings, a new moon rapidly transformed into a full moon, radiating a frosty white light across the entire land.
When he first advanced to the second realm of the Dharma world, his Dharma form gave birth to frost fire, requiring him to use Guanghan weapons in battle to devour the intrinsic power of enemy Dharma forms and infuse it into the bright moon.
When the new moon turned into a full moon—
The Dharma form was initially perfected, and he could advance to the third realm of the Dharma form at any time!
No—
To reach the third realm of the Dharma form, one must awaken the Dharma Eye.
He already had the Dharma Eye.
So everything fell into place—
In the void, faint light appeared as small characters:
“You have reached the third realm of the Dharma World.”
“All attributes increased by 10 points.”
“Your pupil technique: Divine Slaughter Induction is beginning to ascend, requiring some time to complete.”
“Special reminder:”
“The power you absorbed is too strong to be absorbed all at once.”
“It will soon burst you open.”
“Your feat of sealing the Dark Devourer is enough to shake all realms.”
“Find a way to survive. If you can survive this event, you will receive the ‘fame’ recognized by the Dharma realm.”
