Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 237

“Shen Ye, what’s wrong?”

Yun Ni asked.

“I sprained my ankle, and I also got a little injured in the battle,” Shen Ye said vaguely.

“I see. I’m good at healing. This situation can be fixed with a quick treatment. Want to try?” Yun Ni asked.

Before she finished speaking, a soft light appeared in her hand, disappearing into Shen Ye’s body in a flash.

A faint glow appeared, coalescing into words:

“This weakened state is caused by forcibly activating the second phase. Your soul is resonating with it, thus leading to this weakness.”

“All healing spells are ineffective.”

Ineffective!

Shen Ye sighed and shook his head, saying:

“I appreciate the thought, but it’s useless.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Yun Ni’s eyes, then it turned to solemnity.

How could it be ineffective?

This kid doesn’t understand, but she does.

It should be treatable!

But it was ineffective!

Could it be a special constitution?

If Shen Ye died, she would vanish, never to be reborn.

At this moment, Xiao Mengyu also saw that the other party was using an advanced healing spell.

“Thank you for your kindness—since you’re also trapped on this cliff, please stay here with us. At least it’s relatively safe here.”

Her tone carried an added sincerity.

“That would be wonderful, thank you,” Yun Ni said, clapping her hands joyfully.

She shot a glance at Shen Ye.

—How do you think I am? Haven’t I worked hard to protect you?

Shen Ye couldn’t be bothered with her.

He was extremely tired at the moment, gasping for breath. Suddenly, he felt like he couldn’t breathe, and his vision went black as he fainted.

In the last moment.

He saw Yun Ni rushing towards him, performing a hand seal, her eyes filled with fear.

Damn.

She thinks I’m going to die?

This thought popped up, and then he fell into darkness.

Boundless darkness.

A wisp of grey flame quietly appeared.

Around the flame, various colors transformed into runes, rotating endlessly, extending outwards to form a massive image.

Shen Ye opened his eyes.

He found that in the darkness, he wasn’t there.

At this moment, what resided here was perhaps only his consciousness.

However, that massive image, constructed from grey flames, was still constantly extending—

Where the fire passed.

Darkness dispersed.

—So what’s going on?

Suddenly.

Mictetikasiwa’s voice quietly echoed:

“It has begun.”

“This is the phase of our nightmare world. It is weaving rapidly, and what you need to do is to find my bones so that I have the power to continue weaving.”

“When you obtain the fragments of my bones, I will begin this task for you…”

“I didn’t have to tell you so early.”

“Who knew that guy temporarily infused you with the power of the sixth level of the Dharma realm, making you perceive the nightmare phase all at once.”

“So the phase drained all the power from you, plunging you into a state of weakness more profound than mere weakness.”

“Your body needs time to recover.”

“Until then, stay connected to the soul and the Dharma realm.”

Shen Ye watched the formation of the image and couldn’t help but sigh:

“Honestly, it’s quite dangerous outside right now.”

“When is life ever an eternal smooth path? Even drinking water can choke you, let alone the union of our two worlds,” Mictetikasiwa said calmly.

She stretched out her hand and sent a stream of light into Shen Ye’s glabella.

“This is the power of the nightmare phase. Since you’re here, experience it in advance.”

“…Okay.”

As Shen Ye fell unconscious.

Yun Ni, forming a hand seal, rushed up.

Xiao Mengyu, holding Shen Ye with one arm, kept her other hand on the hilt of the Luo Shui Divine Sword, her gaze fixed on Yun Ni.

Yun Ni had no time to pay attention to her, focusing solely on Shen Ye.

After a while.

“He’s not dead… Phew, you scared me to death…”

She collapsed to the ground, soaked in cold sweat, her eyes even moist.

This scene surprised Xiao Mengyu.

“Yun Ni, have you met Shen Ye before?”

She asked tentatively.

“Yes,” Yun Ni said.

“No wonder, I was wondering why you were so worried about him,” Xiao Mengyu continued to probe.

Yun Ni’s eyes darted around, then she covered her mouth and chuckled alluringly:

“Shen Ye is a true disciple of the Huntian Sect and extremely talented. I’ve always looked up to him as a role model.”

Xiao Mengyu’s expression indeed changed slightly.

Yun Ni noticed it and was about to tease her further when a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

This aura…

Not good!

Those guys are here!

“I was just joking,” she patted Xiao Mengyu’s shoulder, “I’m actually friends with Nangong Sirui, and he told me to look after Shen Ye if I saw him.”

—In the face of a great enemy, we must be united!

Don’t let a woman become emotionally unstable, it will affect her combat effectiveness!

Especially when this woman is the main combatant.

Yun Ni might play around, but she knows the importance of such matters.

While Xiao Mengyu was momentarily stunned, Yun Ni’s figure flickered, and she passed through the cave entrance, landing on the cliff outside.

“I’ll go scout the situation; you’re responsible for protecting Shen Ye.”

Then she disappeared.

Only Xiao Mengyu remained, holding Shen Ye, sitting deep inside the stone cave.

—And the biochemical clone.

—Of course, and the Husky.

“Did you hear? She’s actually friends with Nangong Sirui, and she specifically came to look after Shen Ye this time.”

Xiao Mengyu was deep in thought.

“Of course I heard. I didn’t expect Nangong Sirui to have such a confidante,” the Husky also pondered Yun Ni’s words, “But… why would Nangong Sirui specifically instruct her about this?”

Xiao Mengyu had just relaxed, and suddenly her heart tightened again.

That’s right.

This isn’t right!

Why is Nangong Sirui so concerned about Shen Ye?

On the cliff.

Yun Ni used both her hands and feet, swiftly moving along the vertical and slippery rock face.

“So many people have arrived…”

“No, I must stop them quickly. They absolutely cannot be allowed to kill Shen Ye!”

Yun Ni suddenly jumped up, her figure unfurling as she flew upwards.

Her speed was extreme.

In the void, an afterimage constantly flashed upwards, as if traversing through space.

Finally—

She stopped.

Across from her, a white-haired man in full chainmail stood in the passage on the first level of the tomb.

Behind the white-haired man stood dozens of fully armed human professionals.

Everyone adopted a defensive posture.

“Huh? Isn’t this the Lord of the Weeping Demon Prison? I thought it was a strong expert from within Xirang High School… You really startled me.”

The white-haired man laughed playfully.

The people behind him also relaxed, glaring at Yun Ni with disdain.

“You’re Tai Yan’s subordinate.”

Yun Ni scrutinized the other party.

“That’s right, I heard your mission fell through—how dare you still live?” the white-haired man asked.

“I’m here to kill you,” Yun Ni said bluntly.

“By yourself? How dare a mere slave be so arrogant?” the white-haired man chuckled.

Even as he spoke, a grey, broken claw made of mist suddenly appeared behind him.

Phase: Hand of Decay!

The grey claw grabbed from a distance, ignoring distance and Yun Ni’s defenses, immediately seizing Yun Ni and then squeezing hard—

“Die,” the white-haired man sneered.

Bang.

All the grey mist dispersed.

The giant hand also ceased to exist.

“The gap between you and me is too vast.”

Yun Ni stood amidst the dispersing grey mist, calmly saying:

“My body’s basic attributes have improved slightly. Currently, it’s about 20 times yours, so I only need a simple spell.”

She also extended her hand, forming a grasping motion in the air.

In an instant.

The stone slabs covering the ground shattered, turning into countless sharp fragments that instantly pierced through everyone’s bodies.

Amidst the dense screams—

The blade-like stone fragments gathered in Yun Ni’s hand, coalescing into a stone sphere about three meters high.

Drip. Drop.

Crimson blood seeped from the stone sphere, continuously dripping onto the ground.

Silence.

Throughout the entire passage.

Aside from the whistling wind and the sound of dripping blood, there was no other sound.

Those who were alive moments ago had all become corpses.

Suddenly.

A round of applause broke out.

At the end of the passage.

A masked man leaned against the door, clapping his hands continuously.

“To effortlessly break the Phase: Hand of Decay, it truly broadens even my horizons.”

Yun Ni coldly glanced at him and asked:

“Are you wearing a mask because you’re afraid to show your face?”

“Apologies, I am a subordinate of Tai Yan. It’s somewhat difficult for me to kill my own countrymen in this world, so it’s best to wear a mask,” the man said.

“What’s it like to be someone else’s dog?” Yun Ni asked.

The man formed a hand seal, a hint of cruelty entering his voice:

“It’s far better than being a slave like you.”

A phase unfolded from his feet, quickly spreading throughout the passage, turning into countless mouths that all opened, revealing sharp teeth.

Dark Devour Phase: Evil Barrier Shattering Demon Prison!

“This is a special phase of the sixth level of the Dharma Realm—with my strength, I originally wanted to take you as a maid, but unfortunately, your mouth stinks, so just let my phase devour you completely.”

The masked man waved his hand.

The entire passage immediately came alive.

It was like a wriggling intestine, coiling all the large mouths on the walls, and biting all over Yun Ni’s body.

Not only that—

More fleshy mouths appeared on the cliff below the passage, extending all the way deep into the ground.

—The bottomless cliff was gradually turning into flesh!

A scorpion hiding in a rock crevice felt a slight tremor and was about to hide when it was suddenly flicked by a tongue and fell into a fleshy mouth, to be chewed to oblivion.

All life hidden on this cliff would be devoured by this phase.

Without exception!

Yun Ni formed a hand seal with one hand and whispered:

“I haven’t used a phase in a long time…”

“But you are too dangerous, I cannot let you kill him.”

A peculiar fluctuation emanated from her hand.

In an instant.

Something seemed to happen, but the feeling lasted only a moment before completely disappearing.

Yun Ni still held the hand seal with one hand.

The masked man still stood not far across from her.

The only difference was—

The countless gaping mouths that covered the entire passage had all vanished.

The flesh no longer writhed, rapidly receding from the rocks, as if it had never existed.

The ten-thousand-foot cliff returned to its original appearance.

The passage below was cool and silent.

Everything was as usual.

The masked man sighed and spoke:

“Why were you enslaved?”

Yun Ni said earnestly: “Our world was destroyed, and I was severely injured. I had no choice but to be captured and work for the ‘Five Desires’.”

“Hmph… Damn it, why did I have to meet you, why… how can you turn into a human…”

The masked man said.

The wind blew.

He turned into dust and disappeared completely.

Yun Ni shook her head, already thinking about other things.

“That’s not right… why was he so weak?”

“Perhaps he has another secret?”
