Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 357
byWhat to do next?
The moment Joseph flew up, Shen Ye kept transferring Xiao Mengyu, Nangong Sirui, and Guo Yunye into and out of the Dharma Aspect.
This ensured that they remained in the battle.
The “test” did not fail.
And then—
“I’ll test myself.”
He muttered.
Three lines of faint light quickly appeared:
“Although you are the designated selector for the Immortal Kingdom, you can still recommend yourself for the test.”
“This is the only safe way to enter the Immortal Kingdom.”
“Test begins!”
That’s it.
Now the only thing to do was to face Joseph.
This eighth-level Dharma Aspect warrior seemed intent on killing Saint Pe’a Suo.
Why?
At the edge of the Dharma Aspect, the Four Kings secretly launched a small boat, leaving the plains and quickly sailing away into the vast sea.
Shen Ye glanced at them, then retracted his gaze and drew his bow to shoot.
Archery · Star Edge!
Swish swish swish swish swish—
Arrows flew out, splitting into a meteor shower in mid-air, pursuing the powerful warrior in the sky who was clutching his buttocks.
“You will all die!”
Joseph roared.
He panted heavily, his entire body erupting with substantial golden light, condensing into a spear in mid-air.
What a powerful spear!
A weapon materialized from energy, absolutely difficult to deal with.
Joseph casually swung the golden light spear—
The Taiyin arrows flew forward, unable to even get close. As soon as they touched the light emanating from the spear, they scattered into shattered ice in mid-air.
Even the armored ghost riders summoned through “Taiyin Summoning Demon” were chopped into shattered corpses the moment they appeared.
So strong!
Too strong!
Perhaps only a master of Xu Xingke’s level could fight an evenly matched duel against him!
—And he himself was too slow.
The Taiyin Summoning Demon still summoned armored ghost riders of the second Dharma Aspect level.
The “Evil Ghost Possession” skill hadn’t been upgraded to summon stronger troops yet!
How to fight?
Cannot delay any longer.
“Pe’a Suo, it is an immense honor for you to die by my Star-Piercing Sacred Spear, after all, you are so weak.”
Joseph mocked maliciously.
Shen Ye immediately felt a premonition of death.
“I didn’t misjudge you. You’re using such a powerful skill to kill me, truly a good brother.”
Shen Ye praised, and immediately a palm-sized doll appeared in the void around the opponent.
The doll looked exactly like Joseph, floating motionless in mid-air.
Tea green entry: Good Brother!
—These were three negative entries formed under the curse of the Demon of Fear, and only after they merged did they possess their current power!
“What is this!”
Joseph tried hard to slap the Dharma Aspect doll.
But his hand passed directly through the doll, completely unable to affect it.
“Damn it!”
Joseph erupted with an even more powerful kick, but the doll passed directly through him, and then—
A crisp sound.
The doll slapped him, then flew around in mid-air, sometimes forming an “s” shape, sometimes a “b” shape.
While Joseph was entangled with “Good Brother,” Shen Ye’s eyes flickered, quickly scanning the entire Dharma Aspect.
Sichuan.
Building on the Sichun was definitely not feasible; the Sichun was land containing treasures of the Immortal Kingdom and could not form combat power immediately.
What about barracks?
Faint words of light quietly appeared:
“The Great Tomb Immortal Kingdom is on the verge of collapse. Even if the barracks are upgraded now, there are no powerful troops to summon, unless you make some achievements in the Great Tomb Immortal Kingdom.”
It’s different now!
Before, he could summon Xiao Mengyu and the others.
Now, only wild nests and traps are available!
If he were to build a wild nest…
Joseph wouldn’t give him time to slowly think. To prevent danger, Shen Ye continuously activated the entry “Will meet under the moon at Yao Terrace.”
As a result, living creatures disappeared one after another throughout the Dharma Aspect.
Earth Demon Beasts, Immortal Puppets, Dark Night Demonic Wolves, Xiao Mengyu, Nangong Sirui—
Everyone was transferred out.
Shen Ye also left the Dharma Aspect.
He stood outside the Dharma Aspect, quickly pondering the previous question.
—Can a wilderness nest be built?
More lines of faint light appeared:
“Spending 1000 units of energy to upgrade the wilderness lair will also cause the Earth Demon Beasts to fall into slumber.”
“After a period of time, the Earth Demon Beasts will break through and advance, and the lair will also be upgraded.”
Distant water can’t quench immediate thirst!
Then only traps can be upgraded.
“Current trap: Lava Purgatory.”
“Trap level: 3.”
“Triggers full-screen destruction, Dharma Aspect feigns death, revives after ten seconds.”
“Upgrading the current trap to Level 4 requires 1000 energy points.”
“Placing a new Level 0 trap requires 40 energy points.”
Can only upgrade this one!
Shen Ye suddenly grunted, his whole body as if struck by lightning, and he spewed blood.
He focused his attention on the Dharma Aspect, only to see Joseph holding the Spear of Light, frantically attacking everything on the ground.
Being an eighth-level Dharma Aspect, every attack he unleashed released giant shadows of spears of light, destroying the earth.
If he continues like this, the Dharma Aspect will be finished!
But he can’t be let out—
That spear of light is truly terrifying!
In an instant.
Shen Ye roared:
“Activate trap.”
Within the Dharma Aspect.
The entire mountain range and the plains began to tremble violently.
Joseph was just feeling surprised when he saw cracks appearing everywhere his eyes could see.
The Level 3 trap “Lava Purgatory” erupted.
Fiery lava burst forth, shot into the sky, and swept across the entire Dharma Aspect!
“Aaaaaahhhhhh—”
Joseph brandished his Spear of Light, deploying layers of golden barriers around himself to block the lava.
However, the lava was endless, and within it, fiery rocks like meteors violently crashed against the golden barriers.
Boom—
The powerful collision caused the Dharma Aspect to crumble and be destroyed.
In an instant.
The Dharma Aspect disappeared.
Joseph reappeared in the nightmare world, landing on the ground not far away.
The two great knights had been knocked flying earlier, but now they recovered, holding their tower shields to block Shen Ye, and shouted:
“Dharma Aspect unfold—”
The majestic phantom of a mountain range appeared behind them, channeling the power of the Dharma Aspect into their bodies.
Xiao Mengyu stood with her sword, guarding Shen Ye.
The Dark Night Demonic Wolf ran to one side, instantly disappearing from everyone’s sight.
Nangong Sirui held seals with both hands, rapidly chanting something.
Shen Ye stood at the back.
He watched Joseph with a vigilant expression.
—The Dharma Aspect needs ten seconds to recover.
Can they hold out for ten seconds?
“I truly don’t understand why you want to kill me,” Shen Ye said.
Joseph looked at the group, who were poised for battle, and grinned:
“Blame your Majesty Norton. It was he who elevated a young boy from Rhein County like you to the status of ‘Saint Pe’a Suo,’ so you must die!”
“Just because my name is Saint Pe’a Suo? Are you sick!” Shen Ye couldn’t help but say.
Wei Zhenren activated!
“Continuous accidents will occur, killing him will hit his weak points, and valuable items will definitely drop.”
“‘Tribulation’ status lasts for 10 seconds, after a 5-minute cooldown, if the target is not dead, ‘Tribulation’ triggers again, cycling endlessly.”
A crimson, dazzling “Danger” character appeared above Joseph’s head, but he seemed unaware, swinging his golden spear and roaring:
“If the royal family cannot even protect those they have personally bestowed a ‘saint’ title upon, who will still believe they have the ability to protect this country!”
He took two steps, ran, and threw the Spear of Light with all his might.
A booming sonic boom roared into existence.
Everyone was completely unable to dodge. The spear streaked towards them, then suddenly arced gracefully, soaring into the sky, becoming a distant speck of light, flying until it was out of sight.
“…” Joseph.
“…” Everyone.
What astonishing speed, what terrifying power!
But—
Why did it shoot into the sky?
“Be careful, he just slipped,” Shen Ye said.
“Would an eighth-level Dharma Aspect make such a rookie mistake?” Xiao Mengyu said, somewhat disbelievingly.
Joseph’s face twitched. Just as he was about to speak, a poisonous mist suddenly descended from the sky and hit him.
“Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention. It hit you.”
In mid-air.
The eighth-level Dharma Aspect master who was fighting Eudelia shouted apologetically.
—He had also been hit by Shen Ye’s “Wei Zhenren” and “Good Brother” at the very beginning!
“…Forget it, now I’ll end everything about you.”
Joseph reached out and grabbed.
A golden spear emerged from the void, which he grasped in his hand.
He tried to lift the spear, but found that it wouldn’t move.
He looked down.
He saw the other end of the spear being held by the “Good Brother” doll—
The doll, which looked exactly like him, held the golden spear in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other, carefully examining the powerful runes on the spear.
“Let go!”
Joseph roared.
The doll showed a surprised expression and pointed behind Joseph.
Joseph also sensed a fierce wind approaching and immediately punched, knocking several Taiyin arrows away.
Bang bang bang—
The arrows were knocked away, but Shen Ye’s “Taiyin Summoning Demon” and “Evil Ghost Possession” activated simultaneously.
Lizards, glowing with lightning, appeared out of thin air.
Inferno Lizard!
An undead creature of the third Dharma Aspect realm!
“Such trash, no matter how many come, it’s useless.”
Joseph sneered, swinging the golden spear with all his might, intending to execute a large-scale circular thrust to kill all the Inferno Lizards at once.
However, his hands swung through empty air.
The golden spear was gone!
—The doll had quietly hidden the spear during the interval when he swung his fist in attack.
“Damn it!”
Joseph knew he had been tricked, but he remained calm. He clenched his fists and punched to death each Inferno Lizard that rushed at him.
Shen Ye watched from afar, nodding inwardly.
As expected of an eighth-level Dharma Aspect master.
This guy is the first one to survive the effects of Wei Zhenren!
The next time Wei Zhenren takes effect will be in five minutes.
Even so—
He had successfully stalled for ten seconds, allowing the Dharma Aspect to begin recovering.
“Invest 1000 energy points to construct trap: Lava Purgatory.”
Shen Ye muttered.
As he willed it, within the newly restored Dharma Aspect, the ground trembled slightly.
It was as if some power buried deep beneath the earth was continuously growing, restructuring, and accumulating strength.
Lines of faint light quickly emerged:
“Current trap upgrade to Level 4.”
“Your trap ‘Lava Hell’ has been upgraded to ‘Blaze Spirit’.”
“Next upgrade requires 2000 energy points.”
“Upgrade! Continue upgrading!” Shen Ye immediately chanted in his heart.
Now he understood.
The Sichun, barracks, traps, and wilderness nests.
The most effective ones in urgent situations are still traps!
So come on, all 3000 energy points are going into traps!
The faint light flickered and reappeared:
“2000 energy points used, current energy remaining: 50.”
“Current trap upgrade to Level 5.”
“Your trap ‘Blaze Spirit’ has been upgraded to ‘World-Burning Angel’.”
“Please note.”
“Your Dharma Aspect is a Budding-level Dharma Aspect, and can only construct traps up to Level 5.”
Shen Ye looked at the scene.
Joseph had already killed all the Lava Lizards and turned to look at everyone.
“Any other tricks? I guess—you have none left.”
Joseph spread his arms, saying with a playful tone.
He suddenly vanished from his spot.
“Watch out, defend!” one of the great knights shouted.
Before he finished speaking.
Joseph had already appeared among the group, punching towards Shen Ye.
Too fast!
However, at this moment, Joseph perceived some kind of danger. He suddenly flipped over, his leg kicking like a bolt of lightning, colliding with a blurred object.
Boom—
The strong wind generated by the clash blew Xiao Mengyu away.
A humanoid figure with a green face and fangs collided with Joseph, and they attacked each other continuously.
Yaksha!
Nangong Sirui finally performed his family’s inherited technique, transforming himself into a powerful Yaksha.
“Hahaha! A temporary burst of Dharma Aspect power? It’s only seven stages, how long do you think you can last!”
Joseph laughed wildly as he fought.
The Yaksha’s weapons changed incessantly, each move almost a secret technique.
This barely allowed him to withstand Joseph.
“We’re here to help you!”
The two great knights drew their swords and turned around, slashing at Joseph’s back, only to be casually blocked by him without even looking.
The great knights’ faces showed expressions of desperate resolve, ignoring everything and attacking with all their might.
—And thanks to their frantic attacks, the Yaksha’s pressure was greatly reduced.
The four of them fought in a chaotic melee, various close-combat techniques being exchanged in a frenzy, their clashes roaring like thunder.
Xiao Mengyu flew down, took a look, and couldn’t help but shake her head.
This level of combat was something she couldn’t participate in at all!
“Let’s go, Shen Ye, an eighth-level Dharma Aspect is too terrifying, you escape first!”
Xiao Mengyu urged anxiously.
“No, Xiao San’s technique consumes too much, it won’t last long. Even if we run, he’ll catch up,” Shen Ye said calmly.
The only trump card in hand right now is the Level 5 trap “World-Burning Angel.”
A Level 3 trap couldn’t even harm Joseph.
He didn’t know how effective a Level 5 one would be.
—Are there any other trump cards that can be used?
Shen Ye’s mind raced, and he suddenly remembered something.
The front-line positions, those foreigners—
They died failing the Immortal Kingdom’s test, but left behind a whole box of magic bombs!
According to the Big Skeleton, the power of each magic bomb was equivalent to the destructive soul shock bombs from before!
Indeed.
These bombs might mean nothing to an eighth-level Dharma Aspect master.
But—
Shen Ye’s attention shifted to the Dharma Aspect, directly opening the two-meter by two-meter large box, looking at the densely packed magic bombs inside.
With his will, all the magic bombs disappeared.
A heavy single-soldier rocket launcher appeared on the ground in its place.
Rocket launcher?
Shen Ye was a little surprised.
Lines of faint light quickly flashed:
“You unleashed the dark gold entry ‘Vampire Child,’ merging 300 magic bombs.”
“Congratulations.”
“This fusion produced a super-evolutionary effect.”
“You obtained ‘Big Firework’.”
“One-time explosive, golden (legendary) bomb.”
“Description: The hit target will be propelled out of the planet, to receive a continuous 300-detonation firework explosion in space, each explosion equivalent to an attack from an eighth-level Dharma Aspect.”
“Special note: A first-level Dharma Aspect professional wielding this item has a 30% hit rate; for each level higher the wielder is, the hit rate increases by 9%.”
“—Thanks to your participation, this year’s fireworks are exceptionally beautiful.”
Good stuff!
But it might not hit!
Shen Ye’s mind flashed, and he looked up at the sky, immediately activating “Will meet under the moon at Yao Terrace.”
Grand Court Mage Eudelia!
In the sky, she brandished her staff, continuously unleashing various spells, clashing with the eighth-level Dharma Aspect expert.
Thanks to her inherent formidable strength, as well as Shen Ye’s pre-released “Wei Zhenren” and “Good Brother.”
At this moment, Eudelia had already gained the upper hand.
But she dared not be careless.
After all, no one knew what other tricks the opponent had.
“Come.”
Shen Ye whispered.
Eudelia immediately disappeared from the sky, appearing in his Dharma Aspect.
Eudelia was still bewildered, when a single-soldier rocket launcher was thrust into her hand.
“Look, press here to fire. It’s a one-time use, very powerful, and you’ll hit better than I would.”
Shen Ye said.
Eudelia is an eighth-level Dharma Aspect expert, with a hit rate as high as 93%!
“…Alright.”
Eudelia, knowledgeable, glanced at the launcher and immediately understood its function.
She even understood Shen Ye’s plan.
Get rid of one first!
As long as Eudelia was freed, with her protecting Saint Pe’a Suo, it would be impossible for Joseph to succeed.
Eudelia placed the rocket launcher into her storage ring.
Swish—
The next second.
She reappeared in the sky, first releasing several large-area offensive spells as a cover.
Amidst the chaotic spell fluctuations, obscured vision, and thunderous commotions—
“Die.”
Eudelia viciously pulled out the rocket launcher, aimed it at the powerful figure, and pressed the launch button.
A giant beam of light flew from afar, passed through the launcher, instantly swept across the sky, and struck the enemy.
It hit!
The strong man’s face changed. He still tried to perform a mudra to cast a spell, but the light beam directly blasted him away, through the clouds, and out of sight.
A moment later.
Outside the world, violent tremors echoed, and various colorful lights illuminated the sky.
300 consecutive explosions!
He’s not dead yet?
Eudelia took a bottle of magic potion from her sleeve, tipped her head back, and drank it all.
“Separate them all!”
She waved her staff and pointed at the fiercely fighting people on the ground.
An invisible force suddenly generated, hitting everyone with a “bang” and sending them flying.
This move had no magical damage, but it could make everyone, when caught unawares, directly fly away.
Joseph was instantly knocked back hundreds of meters.
At this moment.
Eudelia descended, stood in front of Shen Ye, and pointed her staff at Joseph.
“You have no chance.”
She said.
Everyone was first startled, then overjoyed.
Nangong Sirui immediately dispersed his Yaksha form, sitting down on the ground with a soft thud, his body weak and sore, moaning:
“Damn it, I finally made it to this moment…”
The two great knights were also red-faced, covered in sweat, and breathing heavily.
They leaned on their swords, barely standing, seemingly without any fight left.
Joseph stood in the distance, observing Eudelia carefully. He sighed:
“Grand Mage, how much mental power do you have left? How many more moves can you block me with?”
Eudelia said, “Come and try, and you’ll know.”
Joseph looked at her extremely confident expression, his gaze gradually darkening.
Mages can create various magic potions to quickly restore mental power on the battlefield, and they can also create various single-use, powerful magic items.
In comparison.
He had fought for so long, the physical exhaustion was obvious, but he dared not directly use those precious stamina recovery potions.
—The strange doll next to him was staring at him.
This thing simply couldn’t be killed.
Just now, the spear had been snatched by it.
When fighting those guys, it had even stuck to his back, launching sneak attacks from time to time.
Use my spear!
Stab me!!!
Joseph took a deep breath, calming his emotions, and said slowly, word by word:
“What to do? It’s not good for me to return like this. You should at least let me take two heads back.”
Everyone stopped.
At this moment, he could still say such a thing.
Why?
What was his reliance?
Shen Ye suddenly noticed Xiao Mengyu retreating in front of him, tightly gripping his hand.
Trembling.
Her hand trembled incessantly!
A Sword Saint, though her strength had not yet fully developed, her mind was already trembling with fear.
Has it reached such a point?
“His neck.”
Xiao Mengyu whispered.
Shen Ye looked at Joseph’s neck, only to see dense blood vessels and veins bulging on his neck.
—It looked as if countless insects were frantically wriggling inside him.
The aura emanating from him also became completely different.
If, during the previous battle, everyone still wanted to fight with all their might, regardless of life or death.
Now, everyone felt no desire to resist whatsoever.
Too strong.
His power fluctuations had become so strong that they surpassed human comprehension.
“Oh my God…”
One of the great knights collapsed to the ground in despair, his shield clattering.
Everyone’s faces were unsightly.
But Shen Ye felt a sense of familiarity.
This kind of fluctuation…
It’s too far from Charlotte.
Roughly one-third of Annie’s power.
So this is the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect?
Shen Ye stepped forward, shielding Xiao Mengyu behind him, preventing the absurdly powerful fluctuations from constantly impacting her mind.
—Why was he able to ascend to the ninth level?
If he had such strength, everyone here would have died if he had used it from the beginning.
Why use it now?
Eudelia unexpectedly glanced at Joseph, then raised a hand and took out another thumb-sized crystal bottle, drinking its contents.
Two blushes appeared on her face, her aura continuously rising, yet her tone grew colder:
“Come, as long as you kill me, you can take any head you want.”
“A secret magic potion? Temporarily rising to the ninth stage is useless, because you are completely unfamiliar with ninth-stage combat.”
Joseph laughed, his expression completely different from before.
His voice also changed, from a low croak to a full, rich tone, as if he were a different person.
“Who are you?”
Shen Ye suddenly asked.
Joseph’s gaze slowly shifted, met Shen Ye’s, then moved away, falling on the suspended doll.
“Interesting, this is a collection of negative forces from the Dharma Aspect. You must have a very remarkable ‘name’.”
Joseph said.
“So you’re not Joseph either,” Shen Ye said.
“What makes you say that?” Joseph asked.
“The way you just looked at that doll, it’s like you’re seeing it for the first time,” Shen Ye said.
“It was originally just a small task, but it made me descend in person. Is the name ‘Pe’a Suo’ not arbitrarily given?”
Joseph said with a knowing smile, then glanced at Eudelia and spoke again:
“A bunch of local dogs… Forget it, let’s just say it.”
“If it weren’t for sensing the fluctuations of the Hun Tian Art, I would have no interest in entering the turbid and boring chaotic universe.”
“Saint Pe’a Suo, you have such a doll, you have potential.”
“Serve me, and you can be spared death.”
“I’ll give you ten seconds. After ten seconds, I’ll kill all of you.”
Joseph stood with his arms crossed, appearing very leisurely.
Opposite him.
Everyone tensed up.
Eudelia, with a solemn expression, began to softly chant a spell.
Shen Ye was also quickly thinking of countermeasures.
Ten seconds quickly passed.
Joseph assumed a fighting stance on the spot and said slowly, leisurely:
“It seems your ignorance has made you lose the chance to change your destiny. I will now kill all your friends and let you die in despair.”
His aura surged upwards again.
However—
The next second, his whole body trembled, and he instantly became different from before.
Whether it was his expression, posture, or eyes—
He seemed to have reverted to Joseph’s original appearance.
What’s going on?
Everyone was originally facing a formidable enemy, but the opponent’s change was too quick, and for a moment, they didn’t react at all.
Even Joseph himself had a bewildered look on his face.
“Strange, the Lord clearly descended upon me… how could it be…”
He muttered to himself.
Shen Ye, however, felt a sudden realization and immediately channeled his mental energy into his Dharma Aspect.
Within the Dharma Aspect, everything was normal.
Nothing unusual…
Wait!
Shen Ye’s mental energy fell on the coast, looking out into the deep sea.
A small boat was slowly paddling back.
On the boat was a three-meter tall, giant crystal, shrouded in mist, emitting a faint yellow glow.
The Four Kings rowed their wooden paddles quickly, chanting in unison:
“Heave ho! Heave ho!”
“My heart is black, my hands are dirty!”
“Heave ho! Heave ho!”
—They stole something from Joseph’s Dharma Aspect and brought it back!
