Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 309

“According to ‘Shan Hai Jing,’ the Nine-Tailed Fox resides in Qingqiu Kingdom, possessing four legs and nine tails, its cry is like that of a baby, and it can devour humans.”

The youth finished speaking.

A dense, white mist billowed from the Giant, spreading outwards.

A strong wind howled from its body.

The wind did not disperse the mist.

It became more and more urgent, swirling back and forth in the void, seemingly searching for an enemy.

“I have no interest in your explanation, for you are about to die.”

The Giant said.

The youth, however, grinned, his eyes looking somewhat frantic.

“Actually, I didn’t want to utter such nonsense, but that kid made me state the ‘Nine-Tailed’ identity and origin to avoid spending money.”

The Giant was slightly puzzled.

Spending money?

Why would explaining this cost money?

The youth shrugged and said:

“This kid is a bit demonic, I’d better say it again to avoid problems.”

“As for now—”

“Show me your chips. If you have enough, perhaps I’d be willing to betray him.”

The Giant snorted and cast a spell with one hand:

“Time is up, you have no right to negotiate. Die now.”

Behind it.

The wind drew the mist, outlining a colossal clock in the sky and on earth.

— From just now, the Giant had been casting this instant-kill spell.

“You will return directly to an infant state, then be devoured by me.”

As the words fell.

The colossal clock spanning heaven and earth erupted with a deafening chime.

The youth raised his hand.

A crimson, spinning eye rotated rapidly in his hand.

Dharma Form, End of Destiny.

“Let me teach you a lesson—as a world-type being, being disrespectful in front of me usually leads to a miserable end.”

As the words fell.

Endless mist enveloped him.

And the crimson eye in his hand grew brighter.

Dharma Form Transformation · Destiny Disturbance.

The crimson light shone on the rapidly moving mists, causing the time-infused mist to change.

All power transformed into chaos.

Chaos, as a collection of great power, with the quality of time stripped away.

Due to the loss of time.

Everything at the battle site fell into stagnation.

— Unless time reappears, everything here and now is eternal.

However, the winner had not yet been decided.

The youth had disappeared from his original spot.

He flew in front of the Giant and lightly punched the Giant’s cheek.

Boom—

The Giant’s cheek split open, its nose bridge shattered, and its body shot up into the clouds.

“See, I told you, not listening to others can cause problems.”

The youth giggled.

At this moment.

His eyes flickered, quickly observing the void, taking in everything happening in the three worlds.

To be able to…

Reach this point.

He didn’t lose against the law of time, and even used the opponent’s law to explore the great tomb.

Incredible.

The youth sighed deeply and said:

“Kid, your body now belongs to me. I’ll give you a chance, earnestly beg me.”

“Under my pity, you must offer chips that entice me.”

“Otherwise, I’ll die here.”

“If I die, you die too.”

His voice changed, turning into Shen Ye’s lazy tone:

“If you have the guts, shoot!”

“It doesn’t matter if I die, it’s just a trip to hell. What about you? How long will it take you to regain your current power?”

The youth’s face darkened.

He drew a long blood spear and thrust it through his own heart.

“You’re dead.”

The youth said expressionlessly.

Immediately—

He suddenly burst into laughter, and Shen Ye’s voice emerged again:

“Too slow! This is too slow!”

The Hongying Blade suddenly unsheathed from his waist, chimed once, and flew into his hand.

“Hahahahaha! Your shot is too ordinary, let me try!”

Shen Ye swung back.

The long blade immediately exerted its full strength and slashed towards his neck.

If this cut landed, his head would surely be severed.

No head.

Life force would instantly return to zero.

The souls of the human and the worm would immediately report to hell.

However, the long blade stopped.

The blade cut into the skin of his neck, and bright red blood slowly flowed down.

But the blade could not go any further.

A finger gently blocked the Hongying Blade.

The youth shrieked:

“You lunatic!”

Puff—

The spear flew out of his heart, scattering into nothingness.

His heart grew back.

“Speak, what do you want?” Shen Ye said.

“…You are still willing to deal with me?” the youth wondered.

“Since you proposed a deal, you naturally have something you want in your heart. Tell me, perhaps we can complete the deal, otherwise—”

The long blade flashed, piercing through his chest again.

“Mutilating yourself like this is quite meaningless, isn’t it?”

Shen Ye said calmly.

“Stop!” the youth shrieked, “Damn worm, I have traversed the universe my entire life and never endured such pain. Never try it again, otherwise, I will truly drag you down with me!”

Shen Ye smiled and indeed released the hilt.

Understood.

This worm was afraid of pain.

Its life was too precious; such a reaction was not unexpected.

“Tell me, what do you want.”

Shen Ye said.

The youth first pulled out the blade, then immediately completed his healing, and then said:

“I entered the great tomb to ask a question.”

“If you clarify that matter for me, then seeing that the objective has been achieved, it’s not impossible for me to begrudgingly cooperate with you.”

“What do you want to ask?” Shen Ye asked.

“As an Imperial Seed, how to live to the next epoch.” the youth said.

Shen Ye was stunned.

Even an existence as powerful as an Imperial Seed still needs to ask how to survive?

— How big of a problem is this epoch?

“Okay, if there’s an opportunity, I’ll ask for you.” Shen Ye said.

The youth’s tone gradually became serious:

“If I were to explain this question specifically, it’s like this.”

“The Pecker Epoch has lasted for thirty thousand years, the Imperial Seeds are almost extinct. As the strongest one, how can I survive the final madness of this epoch?”

Shen Ye pondered.

— In fact, this question itself was a piece of information.

This information came from a top-tier Imperial Seed.

Invaluable.

“Okay, if I can continue to explore deeper into the great tomb and encounter an existence that can answer this question, I will definitely help you ask.”

Shen Ye said.

“Words alone are not enough, let’s sign a contract.” the youth said.

“Sign then!” Shen Ye said.

— Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong!

A solemn and majestic chimes rang out from somewhere unknown.

In the void.

One golden rune after another condensed into two hands of a clock.

One pointer aimed at Shen Ye.

The other one also aimed at him.

“Darkness devourer, enemy of all worlds, darling and lord of the universal laws.”

“The Human who overcame the curse of the Demon King of Ten Thousand Fallen Demons, the gatekeeper of nightmares and reality, Shen Ye.”

The pointers and dual names continued to glow, maintaining for a few breaths, then slowly faded.

The contract was formed!

The youth’s lips curled into a smile, and he looked up at the sky.

“Very good, I will help you reach the depths of the great tomb as quickly as possible, but first—”

He drew two streaks of blood-red light with his hands, converging them.

“You need the body of a world-type being.”

“Why?” Shen Ye asked.

“Only a world is qualified to enter the depths of the great tomb. You must manipulate it like you would operate a human’s mobile battle armor.”

A sharp, giant tentacle shot up into the sky.

End of Destiny · Nest Banner!

All the surrounding mist began to rapidly recede.

The Giant, which had been flung away with a punch and disappeared from sight, was drawn back even faster.

Puff.

It was impaled on the sharp tentacle.

And its face still maintained its original expression, seemingly completely unaware of everything.

“Hehehe… Worlds that only know how to wield the power of laws, you are merely playthings in front of me…”

The youth smirked.
