Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 550
by4:30 AM.
The streets were mostly empty.
Shen Ye, an Earthling, rode a shared bicycle towards the computer city.
There were no monsters along the way.
Even if there were, they avoided him in time.
This wasn’t out of kindness.
Instead, the two warring parties had a tacit understanding that neither wanted the “property” of souls to be damaged.
Shen Ye quickly arrived at the computer city.
Some computers lit up.
The situation throughout the city appeared on the screens.
—These things would not be discovered, because the city had always operated this way.
The cameras had also always been there, never attracting attention.
“Retrieve the surveillance footage from the museum, just the recording, not the real-time feed,” Shen Ye said.
The most important thing right now was to figure out the combat power points of the three warring experts.
This way, he could deduce Ning Yunyu’s strength.
However, real-time monitoring might alert the enemy, so to be cautious, it was better to watch the recording.
The video on the computer screen flickered rapidly.
Finally, it stabilized.
Values popped up above the heads of the three people.
The white-haired old man was 8,300,000;
Augustus’s value was 7,000,000;
The woman beside him was 9,800,000.
Logically, the white-haired old man was far inferior to the woman.
But from the recording, the white-haired old man’s attacks were extremely violent several times, and the woman almost couldn’t parry them.
If Augustus hadn’t attacked from the side, disrupting the white-haired old man’s attack rhythm—
The woman might have already been killed.
How could this be?
Shen Ye observed carefully.
He saw that the white-haired old man’s aura was extremely unstable, and there were often sudden bursts of power.
When his power exploded, his value immediately climbed crazily, almost doubling, instantly surpassing the woman.
—This was a characteristic of destruction: burst!
Shen Ye frowned.
That’s not right.
Augustus had fought destruction monsters before and even defeated them.
He should know to suppress the enemy as soon as he started.
How come—
He didn’t use the “suppression” characteristic of truth?
Shen Ye watched for a while longer and gradually understood.
—It couldn’t be suppressed at all.
The white-haired old man had a special ability.
Once the enemy began to suppress him, he would immediately become a translucent existence, avoiding all control-type powers.
“This move… is a bit like the ‘unbound’ inherent in my sword technique, but also different,” Shen Ye thought to himself.
“Close.” He snapped his fingers.
All the computers immediately went black.
Shen Ye sat there, lost in thought.
Now he at least knew one thing—
Judging solely from combat values, Ning Yunyu was on the same level as them.
This was even more terrifying.
If it weren’t for this top-tier term, he would have no way of knowing Ning Yunyu’s strength.
—With her strength, what couldn’t she do?
Why would she be with him?
Quite strange.
On the table.
A computer lit up.
The AI’s voice sounded from the computer:
“The nearest fragment of eternal creation is in the Yongli Auction House, it has been used as a jade pendant all this time—I have its precise coordinates.”
“No need, just tell me a general address,” Shen Ye said.
“Yongli Auction House, Fifth Floor Treasure Row, 116 Baiyun Road, East City District,” the AI said.
Shen Ye raised his hand and pressed it into the void:
“Door.”
—Although this body’s attributes weren’t high, the door ability was shared by all three of his selves.
He stepped through, arriving at the auction house.
The “jade pendant” was displayed in a glass cabinet equipped with various alarms.
Shen Ye directly opened a small door, reached in, took out the “jade pendant,” and held it in his hand, gazing at it closely.
This jade gave people a natural sense of aesthetic pleasure.
No wonder humans of higher civilizations liked them.
Humans were originally the masters of eternal civilization, and jade was a creation of civilization!
Shen Ye gripped the eternal fragment tightly.
Ancient texts said—
Jade was the food of the gods.
Now he was going to do this.
With a thought, faint glowing text quietly appeared:
“You have obtained a fragment of eternal creation.”
“This fragment is in a dormant state, all its power has been absorbed.”
“Mandala,” Shen Ye whispered.
In an instant.
The fragment of eternal creation disappeared.
Faint glowing text refreshed madly:
“You are the eternal brain, the owner of the last immortal chip, the lord of the world, a remnant of eternity.”
“Current resonance has reached its limit, you have perfectly integrated this fragment of creation and obtained the effect:”
“End of Eternity.”
“Description: All skill cooldowns are reduced by 1 second.”
All the small text vanished.
Shen Ye closed his eyes slightly, then slowly opened them after a moment.
“How does it feel?”
The AI’s voice rang out from his phone.
Shen Ye clenched his fists.
Energy…
More vigorous…
But skill cooldowns were only reduced by 1 second.
If he collected more fragments, and eventually made all skills cooldown-free, wouldn’t that be terrifying?
The Eternal World was actually very strong, even abnormally strong.
But destruction just happened to counter it.
There was nothing he could do about it.
He hoped that after integrating the three elements, he could forge a new path.
He saw more faint glowing text appear:
“You have super-integrated this fragment of eternal creation, transforming it into an element and integrating it into your Throne of Endless Destruction.”
“Thus, your truth creation has gathered the three characteristics of truth, destruction, and eternity.”
“Please collect more fragments of eternal creation.”
“Enough fragments can qualitatively transform your creation!”
Shen Ye finished reading and asked,
“Where is the next fragment?”
“Displaying it for you immediately,” the AI replied.
A new coordinate appeared on the phone screen.
—It was a container at a dock.
Shen Ye glanced at it, summoned the Gate of Psychics, and stepped through.
As soon as he arrived, he saw the container.
He only needed to go in and retrieve the fragment.
But Shen Ye didn’t move.
Because a string of numbers appeared on the container:
“300.”
—This container had combat power!
What did that mean?
Why would there be a container with combat power?
If it weren’t for the power of the “Mandala Uroboros” term on him—
He wouldn’t even know this container was “alive”!
At this moment.
Shen Ye suddenly felt a bit emotional.
His Earth body was very weak; he couldn’t possibly defeat the opponent.
So, should he run?
No.
The power of this world was divided into three levels.
The lower level was basic attributes and combat skills.
The higher level was Dharma Forms.
And an even higher level was terms.
These three levels formed a hierarchical pyramid of power, and each level could reach the truth phase.
But even if all reached the truth phase—
The strongest was still the terms!
To speak of himself—
“Vampire Baby” was an ordinary term at first.
He continuously gathered fame, upgrading it to golden, then to dark golden “Vampire Child,” then to “Vampire Grandpa,” “Vampire Ancestor,” and then changing direction, to “Vampire Bro,” “Vampire Old Man,” “Vampire Elder,” “Vampire Patriarch,” “Vampire Veteran”…
After countless battles and incidents, he gradually upgraded it to the pinnacle of terms!
At this point, he obtained an extremely important piece of information—
He was the “first person.”
In other words, in the truth world, no one had ever done this before.
—For all beings, obtaining a term was already very difficult.
Yet, he continuously upgraded a term, letting it reach the level of “the name of the Crown of Truth, an incomparable authority of the Dharma Realm.”
Today.
He stood here, holding the highest-grade term at the apex of the pyramid.
That’s why he could see the truth of this moment!!!
All his efforts and struggles had finally become the key to victory at this moment—
Shen Ye bowed his head, took out a ring made of branches, and put it on his middle finger.
“What are you doing?”
The AI asked curiously.
“I suddenly have a strange idea—” Shen Ye said.
Mandala.
He silently chanted in his mind.
In an instant.
Lines of faint glowing text refreshed:
“You used the wondrous item: Frosty Plum Blossom.”
“Description: All abilities or skills currently on cooldown can be immediately cast again with the help of this ring.”
“—Plum blossoms bloom twice.”
“—Plum blossoms reflect snow, not ranked with other flowers.”
“You have currently reactivated ‘Mandala Uroboros’.”
“You forcibly decomposed the container into elements, and transformed them into earth elements, integrating them into the current earth.”
“The opponent resisted.”
“The resistance was suppressed by the power of the term and could not take effect.”
“The opponent has been buried.”
Dong dong dong dong dong—
Amidst a flurry of sounds, the entire container erupted in a roar, but the entire box decomposed into countless specks of light, slowly sinking into the concrete ground.
“Is it an enemy?” the AI asked.
Shen Ye nodded slightly.
“Do we need to fight?” the AI asked again.
—The guy disguised as a container was directly assimilated by the term!
Or rather—
“Don’t be nervous, this is a relatively new way of live burial. It’s dead,” Shen Ye said.
“Are you sure?” the AI asked.
Shen Ye glanced at the void.
The attributes gained from causing destruction in the combat log had already been recorded.
“I think so,” he said, stomping his foot, waiting cautiously.
From beginning to end.
The earth maintained a prolonged silence.
No enemies, no attacks or traps.
Perhaps it was truly dead.
—But why would some monster know he was coming?
And this was his clone!
Who could predict this?
…Things were getting interesting.
By now, the container had vanished.
A piece of entrusted goods inside the box was revealed.
It was a damaged painting.
—A fragment of eternal creation!
He looked around.
No combat values popped up above anything else.
Good.
Shen Ye simply walked over and collected the painting.
“Mandala Uroboros” had been used twice in a row and had not yet cooled down.
“Ah, damn it, now I have to wait ten minutes—to be precise, nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds.”
The integration would have to wait a while.
Now, he needed to change his plan.
—He couldn’t let the enemy guess what he was going to do next!
Shen Ye turned to open the door and stepped into the void.
A few minutes later.
In a certain city.
A man quietly appeared at a crossroads.
Xu Xingke.
He wore a mask, smoked a cigarette, held his phone, and followed the navigation to a wall.
“This is it.”
Xu Xingke casually swung his fist.
Crash—
A large hole was punched in the wall.
Indeed, a dark, black stone was embedded in the middle of the wall.
“Is this it?”
Xu Xingke asked.
“Yes, thank you, Teacher,” Shen Ye’s voice rang from the phone.
Xu Xingke beckoned with his hand.
The stone immediately flew into his hand.
“Seems fine—wait, there is indeed an ambush here.”
Xu Xingke looked up and said.
At some point, the surrounding buildings were filled with destruction minions.
He was surrounded.
“Take off your mask, kid!”
The leading destruction minion shouted.
Xu Xingke put the stone into his storage ring and said lightly,
“Kid? It’s been a long time since anyone called me that. You’re good, a prime candidate for exterminating nine generations.”
“Capture him—this guy doesn’t have much combat power!” the destruction minion said.
A chain flew towards Xu Xingke, but he shattered it with a punch from the air.
“Shall I kill them all?”
Xu Xingke became interested.
“Let’s not, we don’t know how big they’re playing for now,” Shen Ye said.
He stood on a mountain peak several thousand miles away and said,
“Xu Xingke.”
In an instant.
Faint glowing text immediately appeared:
“You used ‘Enthusiastic Comrade’, temporarily exchanging skills with Xu Xingke.”
“You sacrificed ‘Instant Noodle Cooking Instructions’, exchanging for Xu Xingke’s term ‘Serious Person’.”
“The term has been activated!”
“The person whose name is called will be directly teleported before you!”
All the small text vanished.
In the distant sky.
A figure swiftly flew over, lightly landing on the mountain peak.
It was Xu Xingke!
He tossed the stone to Shen Ye and asked,
“How did the enemy figure out your plan? This will put us at a disadvantage.”
“Yes,” Shen Ye sighed, “the enemy is too cunning.”
Xu Xingke took off his mask, stretched his neck, and said,
“I didn’t act like you just now.”
“That’s because you can’t act like me—now we need to muddy the waters and make the enemy think many people are collecting fragments of eternal creation,” Shen Ye said.
He exchanged the Shanhe Sheji Fan from Nangong Sirui, then exchanged the fan back to Xu Xingke.
Xu Xingke opened the fan.
With a “snap,” Xu Xingke transformed into a completely unfamiliar person.
“Then I’ll go to the next place—preferably a secluded, sparsely populated area.”
Xu Xingke said.
Shen Ye nodded knowingly.
Yes.
He had to be extremely cautious.
—The difference in human strength was too great.
Every time he remembered that 9,000,000 value, his heart would involuntarily feel a suffocating sensation.
Xu Xingke opened his phone, received a new coordinate, pushed open the door, and walked through.
This time.
The door was not set at the location of the eternal creation, but tens of kilometers away.
This was also for safety.
Shen Ye couldn’t help but sigh and chanted:
“Nangong Sirui.”
The term “Serious Person” activated!
In a moment.
A person flew over from afar, landing on the mountain peak.
It was Nangong Sirui.
“What’s going on?” he asked, bewildered.
“I’m worried you’ve been exposed,” Shen Ye said.
“How could I be exposed?” Nangong Sirui was a bit puzzled, “I think I performed quite well, I shouldn’t have revealed any flaws.”
“It’s not your fault… the opponent is truly formidable, their setup barely alerted anyone,” Shen Ye said.
“So what do we do now?” Nangong Sirui asked.
“When in doubt, ask the main god,” Shen Ye said.
“Main god?”
“Yes, you already have the complete Yaksha inheritance. The most important thing now is to improve your strength.”
Shen Ye patted his shoulder:
“Brother, are you tired of the mundane daily life and want some excitement?”
“YES or NO?”
“What if I say NO?” Nangong Sirui asked.
“Do me a favor, say YES,” Shen Ye said.
“YES,” Nangong Sirui sighed.
Shen Ye stretched out his hand:
“Welcome, please go to the infinite—no, please go to the eternal world to fight, to quickly improve your strength.”
The gatekeeper opened the door.
—Nangong Sirui was guarding the “Throne of Endless Destruction” excavator arsenal and also had the identity of a destruction minion.
He could go there now!
…
On the other side.
The church.
Shen Ye lay on a long bench, legs curled up, sleeping.
A fragrant breeze swept past.
Before Shen Ye even opened his eyes, his hand was pulled.
Ning Yunyu crouched in front of him, saying urgently,
“Baxter, there’s a powerful truth creation outside!”
“What?” Shen Ye rubbed his eyes and yawned.
“The guard squad can’t beat it—they’re almost unable to stop it,” Ning Yunyu said.
“What!”
Shen Ye jumped up, grabbed his sword, and flew out of the church.
On the grass outside the church.
Indeed, there was a monstrous human-faced scorpion monster, seven or eight meters long, with two lines of small text floating above its head:
“Multi-tailed Scorpion Demon, Truth Rank Eleven.”
“3000.”
A Truth Creation with 3000 combat power!
The destruction squad had used a special formation, capable of combining everyone’s strength for offense and defense.
If not for that, they would have been wiped out long ago!
Seeing this situation, Shen Ye immediately jumped into the battlefield and shouted,
“Stop!”
He unleashed a sword slash, transforming into a giant blade energy, and clashed head-on with the Multi-tailed Scorpion Demon’s long tail stinger several times.
The Multi-tailed Scorpion Demon retreated slightly, scrutinizing Shen Ye, saying,
“Finally, someone with some strength has arrived.”
Shen Ye snorted coldly, drew his sword, and slashed.
The Multi-tailed Scorpion Demon immediately met him.
The two fought fiercely in front of the church.
Shen Ye’s sword techniques were all wide and open stances, each move unleashing giant blade energy, continuously clashing hard with the opponent.
—He had changed his style!
All subtle sword arts were hidden, replaced by this full-power explosive fighting style.
At a certain moment.
Shen Ye, in order to dodge the opponent’s attack, turned in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over the church.
He saw a figure pressed against the church window glass, staring intently at him.
She.
She was… observing me…
His hand moved.
Her gaze was immediately drawn to it, carefully watching the changes in his movements.
Why?
Why observe him so meticulously?
Shen Ye was puzzled.
But the attack from behind arrived again.
He had no choice but to turn and face the enemy, repelling them with several consecutive sword techniques.
“That’s all you’ve got—prepare to collect your comrades’ corpses, kid.”
The Multi-tailed Scorpion Demon sneered disdainfully.
Swish!
A blur flashed past.
A destruction minion nearby immediately let out a painful wail.
—His leg had been pierced!
“I’ll kill all your friends in front of you.”
The Multi-tailed Scorpion Demon grinned ferociously.
Shen Ye stood
silently, holding his sword.
In this situation.
It seemed he could only use the World-Shaking Slash.
But—
Lines of faint glowing text suddenly refreshed in the void:
“You possess the pinnacle of terms, the name of the Crown of Truth, the incomparable Dharma Realm authority ‘Mandala Uroboros’.”
“Any term not of the level ‘pinnacle of terms, name of the Crown of Truth, incomparable Dharma Realm authority’ that wishes to harm you shall be immediately suppressed by ‘Mandala Uroboros’ and rendered ineffective.”
“The enemy’s term has been suppressed.”
“The enemy is unaware of the entire process, unless possessing a term of the same level.”
“You have obtained the following combat records:”
“The Destruction Rank 20 term ‘Replacive Devourer’ was suppressed by ‘Mandala Uroboros’ and did not truly take effect.”
“Information on this destruction term has been acquired.”
“Description: Learn and imitate a target, acquiring more than half of its power and abilities, then you can completely replace its position in its destiny, becoming a new version of it, and causing its original body to dissolve, perishing forever in the void.”
“Currently observed 39%.”
“Due to the suppression by ‘Mandala Uroboros’, current observation progress can no longer increase.”
