Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 593

Chapter 576: War and Truth!

Xu Xingke moved.

The moment he moved, lines of faint light appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

“Given the different statuses of the combatants in human civilization, additional personnel will be added to Adrian’s side in this battle to ensure fairness.”

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom——

Amidst a series of crashing sounds.

Seven or eight warriors in ancient armor appeared behind the white-haired elder.

“It’s that dog emperor—everyone attack!”

The white-haired elder howled.

The warriors’ faces turned pale the moment they saw Xu Xingke.

But in the current situation, if they didn’t act, their fate would be even more miserable!

Everyone exerted all their strength, unleashing their combat techniques.

“Kill!”

They roared in unison.

Everyone attacked together—

But Xu Xingke was still alone, and he had to defeat everyone on the other side by himself.

Shen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

—He had originally found it strange why Adrian would use such a spell to fight him.

After all, Adrian didn’t know his true strength.

How could he be sure that his comrades were definitely weaker than his slaves?

However.

Now, seeing this rule supplement.

Shen Ye understood.

“Eight against one, so this is the style…”

He muttered softly, then suddenly activated a skill.

Faint light immediately appeared as small text:

“You activated ‘Passionate Comrade’.”

“You and Xu Xingke have exchanged abilities.”

“Currently, you have paid ‘Destruction Source Power’ to exchange for Xu Xingke’s ‘Iron Lungs’.”

“Destruction Source Power: Power that erupts due to emotions (from the Destruction Overlords you secretly absorbed just now).”

“Iron Lungs: Your lungs will not be harmed by smoking (a unique skill in the world, others please quit smoking).”

“Exchange complete!”

Xu Xingke immediately sensed it.

“—This suits me.” He said, without turning his head, his figure suddenly transforming into a whistling afterimage.

Boom!

A fierce shadow flashed back and forth among the enemies.

Blood mist continuously burst open.

Bodies were flung around messily, rolling onto the ground, then lay still.

The afterimage finally stopped.

Xu Xingke stepped on the white-haired elder’s head, looking down at his battered body, and said:

“Even if you had fled back then, I would not have blamed you.”

“But you turned around and killed your own people.”

“That is an unforgivable sin.”

The white-haired elder hastily cried out, “Your Majesty, spare me, we had no choice, the enemy was too strong, forcing us to do it, otherwise we would die.”

“Were you really forced?”

Xu Xingke seemed to recall something, a trace of sadness appeared in his expression, and his tone softened slightly.

“Yes, Your Majesty! You also said back then that if we were forced to against our will, you could pardon us.” The white-haired elder said.

“What’s your name?” Xu Xingke asked.

“Zhao Luo.”

“Zhao Luo——”

Xu Xingke called out.

The white-haired elder lay still on the ground.

Shen Ye sighed.

He had already begun to mourn for the white-haired elder.

—Brother, it’s correct to act pitiful in front of my teacher.

My teacher is soft-hearted, not strong-willed.

But you shouldn’t lie!

If the person my teacher calls doesn’t fly up and appear before him, then it’s not their true name!

As expected, Xu Xingke’s expression changed, and he said sinisterly:

wWW▪Tтkд n▪￠o

“That is not your true name; you are deceiving me.”

He raised his blood-stained hand, snapped his fingers, and said lightly:

“Wok-cooked.”

Before he finished speaking.

A red-hot pot landed on the ground, with boiling oil bubbling inside.

The white-haired elder was thrown directly into it.

“Ah ah ah ah——”

He let out screams.

“Pit him.”

Xu Xingke said again.

A crack full of mud appeared on the ship.

The oil pot, along with the white-haired elder, fell down, disappearing without a trace.

The screams stopped abruptly.

—This round, Xu Xingke won!

In an instant.

Lines of faint light text reappeared in the void before Shen Ye’s eyes:

“Considering the difference in strength between the combatants, this battle will be adjusted to ensure fairness.”

“Adrian’s side will call in fifteen more slaves as supplementary combat power for overtime.”

Shen Ye’s eyebrows twitched.

—They can play like this too?

They have no shame at all, do they?

With a series of crashing sounds.

Fifteen more professionals indeed appeared on the opposite side.

This time.

Adrian’s slaves were all unfamiliar faces.

They didn’t recognize Xu Xingke.

“Teacher, they’re cheating.”

Shen Ye said, annoyed.

“It doesn’t matter, no matter how many come, I’ll kill them all—I’ll fight them head-on, keep killing until they dare not come again.” Xu Xingke said calmly.

Shen Ye’s eyes darted around, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Xingke, however, transmitted a message:

“Take your ability back, I estimate this will be a prolonged battle, and short bursts of fighting will be very exhausting.”

Shen Ye, of course, knew this.

With a thought, faint light text appeared again:

“You activated ‘Passionate Comrade’.”

“You and Xu Xingke have exchanged abilities.”

“Currently, you have paid ‘Eternal Brain’s Fundamental Source Power’ to exchange for Xu Xingke’s ‘Iron Guts’.”

“Eternal Source Power: You are the Eternal Brain, this is your fundamental source power.”

“Iron Guts: Not to be deterred in mind and spirit by any deterrent type traits.”

“Exchange complete!”

—The Eternal Brain is the core of the eternal world!

This time.

Xu Xingke possessed inexhaustible power.

It should be fine, right?

Shen Ye’s gaze was fixed on the battlefield.

Xu Xingke stood still, quietly feeling the eternal source power surging within him.

“This is the fundamental power of the world, how did you get it?”

He transmitted a message.

“It’s a long story, but in short, it’s ours now, Teacher.” Shen Ye said.

Xu Xingke appeared somewhat moved.

The fifteen professionals on the opposite side charged towards him.

Yet he still stood unmoving, seemingly reminiscing about something.

“Teacher, be careful!”

Shen Ye reminded him.

Xu Xingke merely raised his hand and pressed it into the void.

—Divine Shield: Ten Thousand Li Barrier!

Formless power materialized into a towering wall, obscuring the sky and sun, appearing before Xu Xingke.

“Back then—”

Xu Xingke began, “We created this technique, originally to resist the Great Tribulation of Destruction, but the betrayal of a traitor caused the Eternal Brain to fall into disarray at the last moment.”

“Without eternal power, this technique cannot be used.”

“But now—”

He did not continue.

The professionals’ attacks arrived.

A freezing spell struck the city wall.

The entire section of bricks where the spell hit immediately flipped, rotating the spell once, and then sent it back.

Compared to when it came, this spell, empowered by the city wall, seemed to have become even stronger!

The professional was caught off guard and was immediately struck by his own spell.

The bricks on the city wall kept flipping.

One spell after another was strengthened several times, flipped back, and attacked the enemy who had originally cast the spell.

“A rather exquisite and grand technique!”

Shen Ye couldn’t help but exclaim.

—This technique required an immense amount of power, and perhaps only the Eternal Brain could provide enough source power for the technique to be successfully constructed.

Seeing all the professionals being knocked away—

In an instant.

Faint light text once again appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

“Your comrade has been fighting for too long and must be replaced immediately!”

Xu Xingke was directly teleported away.

Rumble—

The city wall shield made a sound of crumbling, shaking the heavens and earth.

Shen Ye was infuriated.

“So they’re cheating because they can’t win, huh?”

He muttered softly.

On the other side.

The void flashed.

Another group of professionals appeared.

“Summon your new comrade. If no one comes, you will be considered defeated.”

The leading professional said.

Before Shen Ye could speak, a summoning array immediately appeared in front of him.

A young girl quietly emerged.

—Xiao Mengyu!

“I will fight in his place.”

Xiao Mengyu said calmly.

“You’re asking for death!” The professionals on the opposite side charged again.

Xiao Mengyu was about to make a move, but she felt something, and couldn’t help but turn her head in surprise to look at Shen Ye.

“Use this to fight them.”

Shen Ye said, looking displeased.

“I have my own swordsmanship.” Xiao Mengyu refused directly.

“This is to vent my anger, I want to vent it!” Shen Ye explained.

Xiao Mengyu looked at him twice, and reluctantly, her attitude softened.

—If Shen Ye had forced her, she wouldn’t have done it.

But just now when Xu Xingke went back—

She and Nangong Sirui knew what was going on.

Being hampered by unfair combat rules must have left Shen Ye with a knot of anger in his heart.

Not helping him now didn’t seem right.

Anyway, it wasn’t a big deal.

“I can’t believe I’m doing this for you. I’m a swordsman, and you want me to use your blade technique, you really know how to force people.”

Xiao Mengyu sighed, holding her longsword horizontally, using it as a blade.

As a sword cultivator—

Perhaps only Shen Ye could make her act so recklessly for a while.

In an instant.

Lines of faint light text appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

“You activated ‘Passionate Comrade,’ exchanging your blade technique ‘Scattered Blossoms’ with Xiao Mengyu for her culinary skill ‘Sweet and Sour Fish’.”

The small text disappeared instantly.

Xiao Mengyu made her move—

“Good swordsmanship.”

She said, while making her move, unable to hide her surprise.

In terms of close combat skills, due to her lineage, she was already quite discerning.

Though she used a sword instead of a blade for this strike, and she herself had no foundation in blade techniques, which significantly diminished the blade technique’s power, yet—

The move itself was strong.

Shen Ye had honed this blade technique for over a thousand years to reach this level.

To ensure a smooth battle, Xiao Mengyu also used her Dharma Idol.

Endless stars appeared behind her.

—Mutated Dharma Idol: Rain of Stars!

“Within a fifty-meter radius covered by my Dharma Idol, all living beings are of the same rank as me!”

Clang!

A sword gleam flew through the air, rapidly tracing a continuous, undulating line in the void.

First came this long line.

Then, countless threads of destiny spread throughout the world, and more than a dozen of them were severed by this single long line.

The wind blew.

Those threads of destiny dissipated in the wind, fading away like wilting flowers.

The cold light flew back.

Xiao Mengyu caught the longsword and gently placed it back in its sheath.

The illusory manifestation of destiny completely disappeared.

In reality.

All the professionals on the opposite side were cut in half at the waist, falling to the ground, losing all signs of life.

“How was it?”

Xiao Mengyu said with a smile in her eyes, in a “I’ve indulged you” tone:

“I never use blade techniques, so this time you owe me—”

Before she finished speaking.

With a “whoosh” sound, she was teleported away.

Lines of small text reappeared in the void:

“To ensure fairness, immediately replace your comrade.”

“If no one arrives within one minute, you will be forcibly taken as a slave.”

“Begin!”

Shen Ye couldn’t help but sneer.

—Does that really work?

No matter how unfair you are, you have to defeat my blade first!

Fluctuations of spatial transmission surged again.

Nangong Sirui quietly appeared.

“Let me—I’m completely different from before, Shen Ye.”

He said proudly, raising both hands, drawing out a pair of fist blades, and casually tracing phantom images in the air.

“Use blade techniques.” Shen Ye said.

“I don’t know blade techniques.” Nangong Sirui said in surprise.

“Use them.” Shen Ye said.

The next moment.

Nangong Sirui understood.

He was surprised, then said: “But my—”

“Do your brother this favor, and your brother will treat you to a meal next time.” Shen Ye directly interrupted him.

“What’s wrong with this?” Nangong Sirui asked, looking at him.

“The other side is cheating.” Shen Ye said.

“You’re upset?” Nangong Sirui looked helpless, and advised in the tone of an experienced person: “You’ve been in many battles, how can you be so easily provoked?”

Shen Ye said, “Can’t you see the opponent’s intention?”

“Of course I know—the moment Teacher and Xiao Mengyu were teleported back, I understood the whole situation.”

Nangong Sirui pointed at the thirty-plus professionals who had just appeared on the opposite side, and continued:

“The other side has been telling you, ‘Look, humans are merely my slaves, and the rules are changed at my whim, and you can only accept it.'”

“Furthermore, the humans on your side don’t even have the right to choose to fight.”

“Exactly.” Shen Ye nodded.

“So for this battle, I don’t need your power; let me respond to them.” Nangong Sirui said.

Just as Shen Ye was about to speak, Kaelon’s voice suddenly echoed in his ear:

“Ojar and Adrian didn’t fight each other.”

—A trace of fear in the tone was immediately detected by Shen Ye.

Yes.

Besides himself, Kaelon was the one who most wanted them to fight.

But they didn’t fight?

Kaelon was bound to be anxious about this!

Because he, Kaelon, had already deeply offended Ojar!

“Why didn’t they fight?”

Shen Ye asked.

Kaelon hurriedly transmitted a message:

“Listen, their levels are much higher than ordinary main gods, perhaps they know something I don’t—hurry up and figure something out, or we’ll both die!”

Shen Ye was silent for a moment.

They didn’t fight.

Which means some agreement was reached.

Then.

What would Ojar and Adrian do?

They would—

Shen Ye suddenly raised his hand, forming a spell seal.

A tremor shook the depths of the giant ship.

“What’s wrong?”

Nangong Sirui asked.

Shen Ye patted his shoulder, and with a heavier tone, said, “Little San, it’s all up to you here. Remember, just protect yourself. If you really can’t, then run, and shout ‘switch,’ so others can come.”

“Okay! No problem—but where are you going?” Nangong Sirui asked.

“I’m making a run for it first.”

Shen Ye said concisely.

He gripped his long blade and suddenly dashed towards the other end of the ship.

The next moment.

Two figures suddenly appeared in the original spot.

Ojar!

Adrian!

As soon as they appeared, they immediately glanced at Nangong Sirui.

“This is my technique, don’t move.”

“Good, kill that kid directly—kill him, then we’ll discuss our matters!”

The two chased after Shen Ye.

“Door.”

Shen Ye waved his hand, opened a door, and went in.

Boom——

The moment he disappeared, the giant ship was completely torn apart.

A powerful, unmatched monster emerged from the depths of the ship.

—This was a monster summoned by the Cataclysmic Demon Eye, capable of annihilating Destruction Overlords and Shen Ye!

The ship continued to disintegrate.

Shen Ye had already made his way from the stern to the bow.

The monster temporarily held back the two main gods, preventing them from catching and killing Shen Ye.

“He opened a door! You can’t open a door on this ship!”

Ojar said in exasperation.

“It’s fine, it’s just a matter of time.” Adrian said calmly.

The two joined forces and attacked the monster.

At the bow of the ship.

“You’re here!”

Kaelon flew over to him in a hurry, and said:

“Alliance? Or do you have another plan?”

“Can you defeat Ojar, or can you defeat Adrian?” Shen Ye countered, mimicking his tone.

“Neither can be defeated.” Kaelon said.

“Then let’s wait and see if they can defeat that monster together.” Shen Ye said.

Kaelon’s expression suddenly hardened, and he said in a deep voice:

“They are continuously activating destruction source power, explosively increasing their strength—”

“Maybe your technique won’t be able to trap them!”

“I know, but there’s nothing else we can do right now. Let’s wait.” Shen Ye said.

Yes.

In such a fate-deciding battle, one must not panic first.

One must make the enemy panic first—

A faint golden glow emanated from Shen Ye’s eyes.

Lines of faint light text immediately popped out:

“You have fully activated the King-level Eye Technique: Cataclysmic Demon Eye.”

“The ship is about to sink.”

“All calamities are about to be unleashed!”

Shen Ye sighed, turned his head to look at Kaelon, and said:

“Do you have anything else hidden, bring it out, or there won’t be another chance.”

“I’ve been providing you with information all along, there’s nothing hidden.” Kaelon said with utmost sincerity.

“Then you don’t need to come find me, go face everything yourself.”

Shen Ye said.

Rumble, rumble, rumble——

From within the hull of the giant ship, terrifying auras continuously emerged.

Each fluctuation of aura possessed nearly the strength of a Void Saint!

Calamity was about to descend upon all!

At this point, no one could escape!

Kaelon shivered all over, and couldn’t help but exclaim:

“You’re insane!”

“Even if they kill me, this technique will continue until all Destruction Overlords are slain.” Shen Ye said.

He looked at Kaelon and uttered the last three words:

“You leave.”

—A desperate situation was at hand.

If you have no information or trump cards, then everyone dies together!

Kaelon met his gaze, without backing down.

After a moment.

Kaelon truly couldn’t hold back, and looked again at the monstrous bodies emerging from the ship’s hull.

“Damn human kid, you’re ruthless, listen carefully to me——”

Kaelon sped up his words, continuing:

“Humans are the new era species of all realms, giving birth to four civilizations and bearing four missions.”

“The Eternal Brain is finished, and with it, the eternal mission ends.”

A voice filled with extreme anger came from afar:

“Don’t tell him!”

Shen Ye looked back.

He saw Ojar, entangled by the monster, roaring.

Kaelon was originally still hesitant, but Ojar’s shout made him make up his mind.

“Even if Ojar wants to kill me later—”

“I have already told you the truth.”

Kaelon continued, with a hint of schadenfreude in his tone:

“Listen up, kid, what I’m about to tell you will absolutely blow your mind.”

…

On the other side.

Within the Two Forms Dharma Idol.

In a bamboo forest.

Another Shen Ye sat cross-legged, his eyes vacant, staring at a bamboo blade in front of him.

After thirteen centuries of honing.

He was still here, continuing to contemplate blade techniques and skills.

Another three thousand years passed.

Suddenly.

The bamboo blade in front of him moved.
