Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 532

The newborn baby’s pupils reflected the fiery rain of destruction in the sky.

The earth crumbled.

Countless ruins buried the living.

Monsters ran rampant. Floods erupted. The planet was destroyed.

At this moment.

With the power of the Heaven-Shaking Slash, Shen Ye achieved a high degree of resonance with all past civilizations.

—The countless destructions and pains in the history of human civilization flashed through his mind.

He suddenly understood Ciel.

As the will of a multilayered universe, witnessing too many tears and pains, even exceeding an unbearable limit.

To escape all this, multiple personalities were born.

What about himself?

Was he going to watch this situation unfold without intervention?

“Don’t make me look anymore.”

Shen Ye sighed.

“What did you say? Your last words?” the Lord of Death said with disdain.

He raised his hand, his five fingers moving slightly.

Rays of destruction flashed out of thin air, instantly sweeping past him and shooting straight at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye tapped his刀 lightly a few times.

The rays scattered and bounced off.

“It’s useless.”

“Every resistance of yours is futile. Destruction is the end of all destinies.”

The Lord of Death snapped his fingers.

Those scattered rays of destruction multiplied in mid-air, from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, then gathered into thousands, instantly becoming tens of thousands.

Shen Ye’s expression remained unchanged, he only said lightly:

“This is Earth.”

The Lord of Death looked at him and asked with interest, “So you don’t care about Earth’s survival?”

Endless rays fell from the sky.

Shen Ye swung his long sword, severing hundreds of sword lights out of thin air, dancing them into an impenetrable shield above his head.

Heaven-Shaking Slash · Everlasting Regret!

Ding ding ding ding dong—

The sword lights, imbued with the power of shaking the heavens, knocked away the rays of destruction, letting them fly chaotically everywhere.

Shen Ye spoke:

“You, who embody the will of destruction, if you destroy Earth as an anchor point, causing the Catastrophe of Destruction to never find the true empty world again—”

“I guess your position will be in jeopardy.”

Swish!

A sword light several tens of meters wide shot out, heading straight for the Lord of Death.

The Lord of Death extended a finger.

He wore black metal gauntlets on his hands.

Clang.

A resonant sound.

The sword light struck his finger but was blocked and vanished into thin air.

One finger blocked Shen Ye’s sword!

“You’re overthinking it. Killing you won’t have any impact on Earth.”

The Lord of Death continued:

“But just in case, it’s a good idea to show you what happens to those who oppose me.”

He formed a hand seal.

—World Transformation · Realm of Death!

Intense spatial fluctuations enveloped the entire unmanned village, instantly pulling the entire village, along with Shen Ye, into the void, and then crashing into an unknown location.

Rumble rumble!

The various buildings of the village immediately collapsed, fell apart, and scattered on the ground.

Shen Ye, however, was surveying his surroundings.

—This was an extremely small planet.

The entire surface of the planet was covered with bones—

Endless bones.

Each skeleton was impaled by various weapons, nailed to the ground, maintaining a struggling posture from before death.

“This is…”

A conjecture arose in Shen Ye’s mind.

The Lord of Death spoke:

“Ruling the Castle of Death is a very difficult task.”

“I know you little people don’t understand what it means to rule.”

“But it doesn’t matter.”

“When your corpse is nailed here, I’ll come and look at you in my leisure time.”

“I’ll step on your skull and savor the pleasure of killing you.”

He raised his other hand and began summoning rays of destruction.

Shen Ye’s pupils contracted sharply—

This time, the opponent was using both hands!

The sky darkened.

Boundless black rays of destruction surged down like a waterfall.

Shen Ye was instantly swallowed by them.

The moment the sword light erupted, countless rays of destruction, like a vortex, completely engulfed it once more.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Shen Ye danced his long sword impenetrably, attaching the might of heaven-shaking power to the blade, continuously fending off the rays of destruction.

He was occasionally injured, but he avoided vital points.

Time flowed on continuously.

The expression on the Lord of Death’s face gradually changed from contempt to surprise, and then into a kind of excitement.

—It was like seeing an interesting toy.

“I love stepping on stubborn little bugs like you the most…”

“Watching you gradually fall into despair is the most fun.”

He put his hands together, forming a spell seal.

Rays fell from the sky, entwining around him, raising him up, transforming him into a dark, glowing giant wearing a crown.

The giant waved his hand, and all the swirling rays flew to him, forming a hammer of destruction in his hand.

Shen Ye stood still, casually flexing his wrists.

Before, he could only flee from the rays of destruction, but now he could face them with his sword techniques, which was a huge improvement.

But it wasn’t enough.

Facing the Lord of Death, he needed even greater power!

Could only anger maintain a high resonance with the Heaven-Shaking Slash?

Anger…

How?

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Shen Ye’s mind.

Across from him.

The Lord of Death spoke:

“No living being can withstand this move.”

“—I always kill the strongest person in a world, causing their morale to completely collapse.”

“Baxter, it’s your turn now.”

“Come, accept the final judgment.”

The hammer, radiating boundless destructive aura, was raised high.

Even the void couldn’t withstand the power on the hammer, constantly shattering and then rejoining.

This was the final move!

“I yield.”

Shen Ye suddenly spoke:

“—You are indeed extremely powerful, a strength that surpasses everyone I’ve ever seen.”

“Knowing you’re about to die, you’re only now softening?” The Lord of Death laughed loudly.

“No,” Shen Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then laughed, “The power gained by sacrificing your most trusted woman to destruction is indeed incomparably strong.”

“It’s my first time seeing someone piggyback on a woman like this.”

“So I’m a bit surprised.”

Silence filled the surroundings.

A mad, violent aura quietly emerged, permeating the air.

“You know?”

The Lord of Death asked hoarsely.

“Yeah, isn’t it obvious—”

“You have the blessing of destruction, yet you still covet my sword skills and divine form. Doesn’t this mean you admit you still need more accumulation?”

As Shen Ye spoke, golden quicksand flashed in his eyes, and he looked towards the opponent’s head.

Above the Lord of Death’s head, a destiny phrase floated motionlessly:

“The wife-eater.”

“He betrayed his wife, entrapping that powerful individual into an abyss of destruction from which there was no return, personally burying the dawn of victory, thereby gaining the favor of destruction.”

“Activating the threads of destiny will plunge him into a moment of confusion; he will once again be trapped in a dilemma of choice, deeply doubting his decision.”

This entry.

It matched the past vision Shen Ye saw from the Queen of Destruction.

The Queen once climbed out of the endless abyss of destruction.

—She only gained this right after vowing allegiance to destruction.

That made sense.

However, at this moment, Shen Ye did not activate the Lord of Death’s destiny term.

He was just trying to provoke him.

This was for—

Anger.

—Anger is a double-edged sword.

If he could enrage the enemy, would that also be a form of resonance?

“Die.”

The Lord of Death uttered a single word.

The dark giant raised the hammer condensed from countless rays and smashed it fiercely towards Shen Ye.

The long sword rose.

At the instant the weapons clashed, billions of light rays scattered, shattering the void and causing countless spaces to collapse.

The sword and hammer were deadlocked.

Shen Ye held the sword with both hands, straining to withstand the hammer, his tiger’s mouth bleeding profusely.

However, a certainty grew in his heart.

The heaven-shaking power on his blade was stronger than before.

—It worked!

The enemy’s anger was also anger!

Shen Ye grinned, took a deep breath, and said seriously:

“Even with the blessing of destruction, having annihilated countless worlds, in plain terms, you’re just trash who sold your wife for glory.”

The dark giant erupted in a roar that shook heaven and earth, withdrew its hammer, and charged with all its might, smashing down again.

This strike brought with it several more unusual phenomena.

Endless dark flames gathered on the heavy hammer, and the vibrations emitted directly caused this realm of death to begin collapsing and destroying.

This was a destructive strike far surpassing all others!

It could even be said—

The opponent unleashing this move was already considered a form of tribulation power from the Catastrophe of Destruction!

Shen Ye looked up at the hammer, his face devoid of emotion, and said:

“Trash is trash.”

“—If I lose to you, I’ll feel incredibly annoyed every time I recall it.”

He gripped the Demon Rain Blade again.

The resonant hum from the blade suddenly amplified rapidly, growing louder like a surging tide.

Both enemy and I were enraged.

This transcendent, one-sided anger activated the Heaven-Shaking Blade Art, generating a deeper level of resonance!

At the same time.

On the other side.

Castle of Death.

Port.

A group of servants of destruction landed on the deck of the Ship of Destruction.

The leader pulled out a document and read aloud:

“The Lord of Death has commanded that from now on, your contract with Duke Baxter is terminated.”

“Henceforth, you shall serve the Lord of Death.”

“Your various rights will be temporarily frozen and will only be gradually unfrozen based on your attitude and the merits you accrue.”

“Do you understand clearly?”

The Ship of Destruction said, “Only one point is unclear.”

“You have one chance to question. Speak, what’s unclear?” the other party asked.

“My contract with Duke Baxter—how do you plan to terminate it? I haven’t heard of any power that can directly destroy a contract by bypassing both parties.”

The Ship of Destruction asked with interest.

The leading servant of destruction smiled, saying proudly:

“That’s easily explained—”

“Baxter is about to die; the Master has personally gone to kill him.”

“Once he dies, the contract will naturally be dissolved, understand?”

The Ship of Destruction suddenly asked:

“How long has he been gone?”

“It’s been a while. Presumably, your contract has already been terminated, hasn’t it?” the servant of destruction said.

The Ship of Destruction said, “Indeed…”

The servant of destruction nodded contentedly:

“Then await the master’s return. Although you possess some strength, in countless civilizations, there are too many powerful beings, and their ultimate fate is death.”

“I hope you behave yourself and do your work well in the future.”

“Do not disappoint the master’s will.”

He waved his hand, and with the people behind him, flew into the castle.

The Ship of Destruction still remained anchored in the harbor.

It suddenly began to mutter to itself:

“We faced the Staff of Wither together back then. You wanted to save that seventeenth-tier fellow, and I was the one who saved him.”

“We both wanted to know how strong the forces of destruction truly were.”

“I arrived at this place first.”

“The duke who killed you was carefully chosen by me, one of the weaker dukes.”

“If you can’t even defeat him, then so be it.”

“If you can come here and become a duke, then you’d be worthy of meeting me.”

“You came.”

“Fortunately, you’re also a smart person, leaving me with a principle of ‘obey orders but not declarations.'”

“—You’re still not dead until now.”

“Are you waiting for me?”

As it muttered to itself, numerous densely packed cannon muzzles extended from the massive metal hull of the ship.

First shot—

Boom!!!

A scorching beam of light shot out, piercing the sky and annihilating the group of servants of destruction who had not yet gone far, mid-air.

A colossal, unparalleled malice emanated from the Ship of Destruction.

“What kind of beings are you?”

“—And you dare command me?”

All the cannon muzzles were aimed at the Castle of Death.

It paused for a breath.

“No, destroying a single building is meaningless. He should need my power right now…”

Accompanying this voice, the Ship of Destruction activated the contract.

On the other side.

Shen Ye swung his long saber, about to collide with the Lord of Death’s hammer.

His brow twitched.

The contract activated, and at the same time, within his divine form, a massive metal ship, entirely black, suddenly appeared.

The Ship of Destruction let out a magnificent sound:

“Use my power—eh? What are you doing?”

At this moment.

Shen Ye did something.

Typically, the power of ultimate creations is incredibly strong, and normal people cannot control them.

But if one can become the master of an ultimate creation—

Then, like a gun having a wielder who pulls the trigger, the true power of the ultimate creation will be revealed.

This is a common understanding of the true void.

However.

Only Shen Ye had discovered something no one else knew.

—How exactly should the power of ultimate creations be used correctly?

That is—

“Divine form descending.”

He whispered.

The long sword and the heavy hammer collided, sending out a shockwave that destroyed everything, sweeping in all directions.

The entire Realm of Death began to turn to dust.

Those lines of faint words surged forth madly, flashing in the void:

“The third ultimate creation, ‘Ship of Destruction’, releases its full power to assist you in activating the divine form ‘One Breath Transforms into Three Pure Ones’.”

“Currently, you possess the ‘Three Pure Ones’ to activate the divine form:”

“Ship of Destruction, Parasitic Empress, Multilayered Universe.”

“Current divine form transformation is commencing.”

“Revolving Divine Form · Wrathful Heavenly King Form is being bestowed upon you.”

A phantom shadow spread across Shen Ye, overlapping with him, and finally empowering him.

At this moment.

The entire world seemed to cease to exist.

Shen Ye only felt a single slashing technique in his hand.

Although his sword was still blocking the hammer, a phantom suddenly appeared on his body, flew out, landed behind the dark giant of destruction, and slashed with full force.

Heaven-Shaking Slash!

That phantom seemed to possess all of his strength; this single slash was no less powerful than his own.

“Ah—damn it—”

The dark giant of destruction let out a tragic cry.

This seemed to be a signal.

Figures continuously emerged from Shen Ye’s back, all wielding sharp blades, flying out and overwhelmingly slashing at the dark giant of destruction.

Every strike was a heaven-shaking blow.

Endless figures, all Wrathful Heavenly King Forms.

Endless Heaven-Shaking Slashes.

The divine form, bestowed upon him, directly unleashed endless afterimages, sending them to strike the dark giant of destruction!

Such power already transcended the limits of Shen Ye fighting alone!

“Ahhh ahhh ahhh—”

The dark giant erupted in a roar, unleashing various defensive spells, but they were all shattered by the Heaven-Shaking Slash.

In the end, even it was covered in wounds!

—With such a fighting style, there was simply no way to resist.

The giant suddenly abandoned its hammer, rushed into the sky, and roared frantically:

“You think you can defeat me?”

“When you witness the true power of the Catastrophe of Destruction, you’ll realize how ridiculous you are!”

The sky cracked open.

Endless dark destructive power, like a cascading waterfall, poured entirely onto his body.

All injuries instantly recovered.

Not only that, a never-before-seen destructive force emerged from the void.

It was a grey current of air.

It seemed to have consciousness, swirling around the dark giant of destruction.

“The previous world was destroyed by this move.”

“Whether it was their deities or all their powerful individuals, they were all annihilated into dust by this single strike.”

The dark giant of destruction extended its hand—

Shen Ye lifted his long sword, and countless faint shadows in the void simultaneously raised illusory blades, as if preparing to unleash the Heaven-Shaking Slash with him.

“All is futile, now die.”

The dark giant of destruction pushed out its palm.

Shen Ye brandished his long sword.

The moment of decisive battle was at hand.

Just in that flash of lightning, a voice suddenly echoed in Shen Ye’s ear:

“That move will awaken the dormant will of destruction; you absolutely cannot take it head-on.”

A figure suddenly appeared beside Shen Ye.

The Queen of Destruction!

She placed her hand on Shen Ye’s shoulder, taking him away in an instant.
