Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 314

The wind blew through the mountains.

Shen Ye stood on a rock, looking a little dazed.

Just a moment ago, a sharp, unparalleled sword energy had shot up from more than ten miles away.

Then everything calmed down.

Nangong Sirui sped up to meet it, but then quickly stopped.

Xiao Mengyu appeared on the mountain path.

“It’s over, time to knock off!”

She waved at the two of them.

Not to mention himself, even Nangong Sirui was stunned for a moment.

That was too fast.

Mogahou looked at the soaring sword energy, frowned, and fell into thought.

When Xiao Mengyu returned, the parrot on his shoulder immediately spoke:

“Your swordsmanship is progressing too fast, you’re getting a bit carried away. Don’t break through for now.”

“Why?” Xiao Mengyu was startled.

Mogahou looked serious, and the parrot continued:

“You think you’re climbing to the peak of swordsmanship, but you’re not. You’re still in the foundation-laying stage, you need to take one step at a time.”

“Among the myriad worlds, I’ve seen too many arrogant sword users, all of them amazingly talented, yet ultimately unable to reach higher peaks.”

“I hope you’re not like that.”

“I recommend that you don’t try to break through for the next month. Use the time to settle down and find your weaknesses.”

Xiao Mengyu was stunned for a moment, then seriously bowed with clasped fists: “Yes, thank you, teacher.”

Mogahou nodded, about to say something more, when he suddenly looked back.

He saw a thin little girl squatting on a rock.

She was listening intently to what Mogahou had just said, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Shah Telai!

“Something wrong?” Mogahou asked.

Shah Telai nodded.

“Nangong and Xiao Mengyu, you two are free to go. Shen Ye, stay. We have something to discuss,” Mogahou said.

Nangong Sirui and Xiao Mengyu were utterly bewildered, but could only respond:

“Yes.”

The two crossed the mountain ridge and quickly departed.

Left behind were Mogahou, Shah Telai, and Shen Ye.

“Mogahou, I remember everything.”

“Stop pretending.”

“You should have awakened your memories too.”

Shah Telai’s voice contained thousands of echoes, her aura completely different from before.

Even the effect brought by that single Reincarnation Celestial Pill was temporarily suppressed.

Behind her, layers of demonic shadows appeared.

—As if at a single disagreement, an earth-shattering blow would erupt!

However—

If she had arrived a little earlier, Mogahou might have fought, struck, or made a desperate struggle.

But.

At this moment, Mogahou had already spoken with Shen Ye.

He had been convinced by Shen Ye, who possessed the skill of “Words Will Win.”

So.

When Shah Telai revealed everything, he seemed somewhat relieved instead.

He didn’t even prepare for a fight; instead, the parrot on his shoulder spoke:

“The ‘Five Desires’ prison has been completely destroyed.”

“My duty has come to an end.”

“From now on, I have nothing to do with you. What you want to do is your business.”

Shah Telai was originally ready to strike, but when she saw Mogahou’s attitude, she was momentarily stunned.

“You… you really think that?”

She couldn’t help but ask.

“Nine Phases,” Mogahou said, “the epoch has already changed, the past myriad worlds have vanished into dust, what are you still desperately seeking from the past?”

Shah Telai’s body twitched left and right like an animal, as if retracting some secretly prepared means.

—Mogahou was too detached today, a bit unexpected.

“What are you going to do now?” Shah Telai asked.

“As you see, I’m teaching students. Perhaps this way I can establish myself on this planet and start a new事業 (enterprise).”

“Continuing to move forward with this planet, it might be possible to escape that monster in the center of the universe and live to the next century.”

Mogahou said.

Shah Telai fell into contemplation.

That monster in the center of the universe…

In this era, it dares to claim to be the strongest?

“That fellow, he just happened to be born in an era without me.”

She said this subconsciously, and dense human head phantoms rose from the void around her, then all disappeared.

A different kind of power fluctuation emanated from her.

On the surface of her body, a layer of milky white sacred light gradually thickened, eventually condensing into a light layer several meters wide.

“Light of Heaven… So it was you back then!”

Mogahou said in surprise.

Shah Telai showed a proud and ferocious smile:

“That’s right, all the heavens in the myriad worlds were destroyed, and I ate them.”

“If I hadn’t been severely injured doing so, even if all the heavens and myriad worlds had united, they wouldn’t have been able to trap me!”

“—Among the myriad worlds, I am the strongest!”

She slowly stood up straight.

“Mogahou, I see that you haven’t had an easy time these past years, and indeed you bear no ill will towards me, and you’ve just abandoned your original duties—”

“I will let you live.”

“If the people of the previous epoch haven’t all died, let them see you alive, and from you, see their failure.”

“Farewell.”

Shah Telai flew into the sky, about to leave.

“Wait! Where are you going?” Mogahou asked hastily.

“I’m going to the center of the universe, to witness the Black King who has been revered for thirty thousand years, to see if it is powerful, or if I am stronger!”

Shah Telai finished speaking, and just as she was about to leave, her gaze suddenly swept towards Shen Ye again.

“…Sir.”

Shen Ye called out, raising his hand, as if about to make some move, or as if preparing to say something.

But in the end, he held back.

Shah Telai looked at him, and in her mind, everything the other party had done while following her during this time appeared.

A good subordinate.

Loyal.

Reliable.

Resourceful in his work.

She had only helped him kill a dragon, and hadn’t given him any other benefits.

“Baxter.”

Shah Telai waved her hand, and suddenly dots of golden light enveloped Shen Ye.

“This is an inspiration I gained from the nightmare world. I’ve turned it into a spell, and now I’m giving it to you to help you become stronger.”

“Once I’ve killed that fellow, we’ll talk about what happens next!”

Boom—

Shah Telai pierced through the void and vanished without a trace.

Mogahou and Shen Ye were both stunned in place.

“She doesn’t even care about me, her guard…”

Mogahou murmured.

Shen Ye also felt a bit emotional, and quietly transmitted a message into the Dharma Aspect:

“Delia, you don’t need to be afraid anymore. Nine Phases has left this planet.”

Inside the Dharma Aspect.

The large box was still tightly sealed.

—It seemed Delia was still scared.

Right.

What exactly was that golden light just now?

Shen Ye looked at the void.

Lines of faint light quickly appeared:

“You have obtained the Dream’s End of Nine Phases.”

“Special type inherited spell.”

“Every night at midnight, all battles that Nine Phases has experienced will appear in your mind as dreams. You will participate in them firsthand to gain combat knowledge.”

It’s a recording.

Well, that works.

Shen Ye was still unsure about the effect of “Dream’s End” at this time, so he didn’t take it too seriously.

Mogahou, on the other hand, pulled out a card to contact Nangong Sirui and Xiao Mengyu.

The two received the message and quickly returned, their faces filled with shock.

The power fluctuation there just now was too strong.

It surpassed all the powerful beings they had ever seen in their memories.

Even the power fluctuations emitted by so many evil gods in the sky above Zhongzhou City at that time were mere ants compared to this power.

What exactly happened?

Not only did the two return to the mountain path.

In the sky.

Streaks of light swiftly flew in.

Xu Xingke, Sword Princess, the heads of various aristocratic families, and the leaders of various organizations all appeared.

“That fluctuation just now, if I didn’t sense it wrong, was a Ninth Realm Law Domain.”

Xu Xingke was the first to land and spoke.

He looked at Shen Ye, Nangong Sirui, and Xiao Mengyu, and seeing that the three of them were safe, he felt a little relieved.

“Yes, it was a Ninth Realm Law Domain,” Mogahou admitted.

“Your ‘Five Desires’ world has such a powerful being, why didn’t you let him fight when you were battling us before? If he had, you might have won,” Xu Xingke added.

“At that time, it had lost its memory,” Mogahou said.

“And now?”

“It has recovered its strength and memory, so it no longer wishes to stay here.”

Facing everyone’s gaze, Mogahou, through the parrot on his shoulder, spoke the answer:

“It was the strongest one in the previous epoch.”

“Now, it has gone to challenge the strong one who has been undefeated in the entire universe for the past thirty thousand years.”

“There’s nothing we can do but wait here for the result.”

Everyone was incredibly shocked.

These prominent figures, which one of them didn’t come from a world already destroyed in the universe?

As wanderers in the universe, how could they not know something about that particular being?

If not for that—

Who would be willing to stay on a dying planet instead of vying for those resource-rich great worlds?

Thirty thousand years. Everything had submitted before it.

In such a long time, no one had the courage to challenge it.

More people had forgotten that it was even possible to actively challenge it.

“Your companion, is it really going to challenge that being?”

Nangong family head couldn’t help but ask.

“I wouldn’t call myself its companion—but it prides itself on being the strongest, so it probably won’t tolerate anyone else vying for that position.” Mogahou said.

Everyone held their breath.

“If there’s nothing else, disperse. Don’t disturb my teaching,” Mogahou said again.

Xu Xingke also felt there was no need to stay there any longer, so he spoke:

“Alright, everyone disperse. Do what you need to do.”

“Also… for those who want to go see, I advise you to be careful.”

“Let’s go.”

Before he finished speaking, he flew into the sky and was the first to leave the mountainous area.

The others also dispersed one after another.

Everyone seemed to be in a hurry.

In a matter of seconds.

On the mountain path, only Mogahou and his three students remained.

“Alright, let’s continue with class.”

Mogahou said.

He pointed out some shield defense techniques to Nangong Sirui, practiced a few sword moves with Xiao Mengyu, and even tried Shen Ye’s saber techniques.

He gave very pertinent advice for the three’s professions and skills.

However, all three Shen Ye felt a bit lost.

A being of the Ninth Realm Law Domain!

—Many professionals never even see a Ninth Realm Law Domain being in their entire lives.

What’s more—

What happened today was that a Ninth Realm Law Domain strongman from a previous epoch had awakened and was going to challenge the strongest being in the current universe.

The application of Law Domain power by both sides must have reached an unparalleled level.

This was a pinnacle battle in the universe.

Even a single glimpse of it could infinitely benefit someone!

That’s why Xu Xingke ran so fast, and why other strong individuals also ran like lightning—they were all trying to witness this battle!

These masters, who had been stuck at the peak of the Eighth Realm Law Domain for too long, would madly pursue this battle!

What is the Ninth Realm like?

How does this level utilize Law Domain power?

What changes occur in the Dharma Aspect?

What are the combat methods?

Every single one of these could bring them insights leading to breakthroughs!

Mogahou, on the other hand, was quite calm.

“Teacher, aren’t you going to watch that battle?”

Nangong Sirui asked curiously.

“No rush,” Mogahou said.

Meeting their curious gazes, he calmly said:

“I’m fast. If they actually start fighting, I can get there in an instant.”

“For now, let’s arrange your afternoon study subjects.”

“Shen Ye’s saber technique needs continued practice, just practice in the school’s training hall.”

“Xiao Mengyu can spar with Shen Ye.”

“Nangong Sirui, your Yaksha form and shield techniques come from a very remote star system in the universe, and I don’t know much about them, but your weakness is that your Yaksha transformation is too slow—find a way to improve your transformation speed.”

“Yes!” the three said in unison.

Mogahou was about to give a few more instructions when his expression suddenly changed, and his figure flashed into the sky, disappearing instantly.

“Teacher Mola left,” Xiao Mengyu said.

“It seems they’ve started fighting over there,” Shen Ye said excitedly.

“I wonder what it’s like when masters of that level battle. I really want to see it live,” Nangong Sirui said, a look of longing on his face.

The peak battle of the contemporary universe!

At this moment.

In the deep dark universe.

Chaluchitorik, the Fourth Epoch Creator, whose body was pierced by the Axe of Creation and nailed to the Sea of Law Domain, sensed the beginning of this battle.

She issued a divine decree:

“Go and watch, all of you!

“Gather the information you see and tell me immediately.”

“—Any information about the Black King will earn you unrivaled rewards from me!”

Not only this great being.

Strong individuals from various planets sequentially sensed that powerful波動 (fluctuation).

Old monsters in seclusion all emerged from their retreats.

Planets engaged in conflict urgently ceased fire.

Various terrifying beings in the universe also held their breath, making different calculations.

At this moment.

An untold number of strong individuals from countless worlds began to rush with all their might towards the center of the universe, towards the pinnacle of the Starry Crown.

No matter how dangerous the journey, they had to witness it!

—To see the top experts in this universe, to witness their ultimate confrontation!

However.

None of this concerned Shen Ye.

He was merely a small fry in the Fourth Realm of Law, entirely incapable of moving freely in the universe.

“Are we dismissed?”

Xiao Mengyu asked uncertainly.

“I guess so. Shen Ye, come with me, back to school. I’ll treat you to lunch at the alley behind the school’s back gate,” Nangong Sirui said generously.

“What are you up to?” Shen Ye asked warily.

“I have a younger sister who’s very interested in you,” Nangong Sirui said.

Before Shen Ye could reply, a hand pressed down on him.

Xiao Mengyu.

“Shen Ye and I have something to do in a bit, so he probably can’t go to eat with you.”

She said calmly.

Nangong Sirui sighed: “Is that so? What a pity—”

Before he finished speaking, a sword hummed, and two figures shot up into the sky.

From a distance, one could see the man being held by the neck by the woman, dangling in her hand, his body still flailing a few times in mid-air due to the sudden acceleration.

“Running so fast…” Nangong Sirui fanned himself. “Sister, your brother failed this time, I apologize.”

No matter how earth-shattering the battle in the center of the universe, if it didn’t affect the lives of ordinary people, ordinary people would act as if everything was normal, carrying on with their daily lives.

This afternoon.

Shen Ye sparred with Xiao Mengyu for several hours.

Returned to the dorm, took a shower, changed clothes, and was about to leave when he ran into Guo Yunye and Zhang Xiaoyi.

The group then agreed to go to the dining hall together.

During dinner.

Guo Yunye and Zhang Xiaoyi talked at length about gaming combat techniques.

Shen Ye listened distractedly, his eyes on the braised pork on his plate, hesitating whether to pick up a piece with his chopsticks—

A faint light quietly appeared, condensing into several lines of small text:

“Your profession is changing.”

“‘Lord of Lifeless Souls’ is transitioning to a higher state.”

“Transition time unknown;”

“Profession name after transition unknown;”

“Effect of transition unknown.”

The small text lingered for a while then disappeared.

Shen Ye was stunned.

What?

Nine Phases… as a Lord of Lifeless Souls with Ninth Realm Law Domain strength, it can still advance?

And during the battle with the Black King!

What does this mean?

After much thought, he decided he couldn’t tell anyone about this.

—The entire universe’s gaze was fixed on Nine Phases!

If anyone knew that he shared the same profession with it—

He would be absolutely finished!

Shen Ye closed his eyes, then reopened them, picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks, put it in his bowl, and buried his head in his food.

Zhang Xiaoyi and Guo Yunye were still chatting about games next to him.

The cafeteria also started to fill up with students.

Xiao Mengyu walked over and sat down opposite the three.

“Didn’t you order your Hun Tian Sect special meal today?” she teased.

Shen Ye, still eating, mumbled:

“Just grabbing something casual.”

“Your saber technique is pretty good, you can even keep up with my thought-sword. How about an extra hour of training tonight?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“Tonight… I might go find my teacher and ask a few things,” Shen Ye said.

“Is there something you don’t understand? You can ask me, I might know,” Xiao Mengyu said.

Shen Ye slapped his head.

Xiao Mengyu came from a prestigious family, and her family had also drifted from another planet. Perhaps she knew something.

He pondered for a moment and then said:

“Look, we all have professions now, right?”

“Right,” Xiao Mengyu nodded.

“Is it possible—I mean, we professionals are constantly advancing, so what about our professions? Are professions permanently fixed and unchangeable, or do they also change?” Shen Ye asked.

Xiao Mengyu smiled.

“I thought you were going to ask something else. Of course, they change.”

“For example, ‘mage’. Many centuries ago, this profession was called ‘Fireballer’ because humans at that time could only cast some low-level fire spells.”

“Once someone controlled other elements through spells—”

“The pháp giới (Law Realm) reconfirmed the profession, and the profession’s name changed from ‘Fireballer’ to the more fitting ‘mage’.”

“Although professional transformation is difficult and rare, often requiring a long time to gradually evolve, it definitely exists.”

“—This is relatively secret knowledge, usually no one will tell you.”

After Xiao Mengyu finished speaking, she began to eat.

The three boys opposite them fell silent.

Zhang Xiaoyi and Guo Yunye stopped talking, exchanged glances, and then both looked at Shen Ye.

“This knowledge… do we have to pay for it?”

Shen Ye asked.

“No, just spar with me tonight, no running off,” Xiao Mengyu said.

“What about us?” Zhang Xiaoyi didn’t stop Guo Yunye, who simply blurted out the question.

Xiao Mengyu paused with her chopsticks, but her voice remained steady:

“Shen Ye can pay for you two. After all, only his saber can match my sword training; you two can’t.”

“That’s great,” Guo Yunye

sighed in relief.

Zhang Xiaoyi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Ye wiped his mouth, lowered his head, pulled out his card, and sent a message to Xu Xingke:

“Teacher, did you go to see it too?”

The message was immediately returned:

“No.”

Immediately after, another reply:

“As my student, you must understand one thing: it’s best not to get involved in exciting brawls like that. The further away, the better.”

“Is teacher worried about something?” Shen Ye asked.

Xu Xingke sent a long message:

“The Black King’s power pulls all planets towards it.”

“If it battles with full strength, will this gravitational force change? What will happen to our planet?”

“Everything is unknown, we must remain vigilant.”

Teacher is still so steady!

Shen Ye thought long and hard, but still didn’t mention the Lord of Lifeless Souls.

This matter was too significant.

Even Nine Phases itself didn’t know.

In fact—

He himself had trapped the Emperor Species using the “Lord of Lifeless Souls” professional skill.

A shiver suddenly ran through Shen Ye’s heart.

No.

Something was wrong.

What was that thing he had been neglecting all this time?

…He remembered.

The professional skill “My Reflection in the Mirror” of the “Lord of Lifeless Souls”—he had acquired it then, and its level was—

Ninth Realm of Law.

It was merely a Ninth Realm of Law skill.

Shen Ye gulped down his drink, suppressing the surprise in his heart.

Suddenly.

The dining table shook.

Everyone jumped up, their expressions alert, observing their surroundings.

“Earthquake?”

Zhang Xiaoyi said.

No one answered him.

But the light fixtures hanging from the ceiling swayed back and forth, casting their shadows and constantly changing positions.

“To the plaza!”

Everyone scurried out of the cafeteria and stood in the school’s plaza.

It was quite open here.

If there was a major earthquake, it would be easier to deal with it here.

“Just an earthquake, it should be nothing.”

Zhang Xiaoyi said.

Other students also looked relaxed.

—They were all professionals, able to easily avoid collapsing buildings and wouldn’t suffer too serious injuries in such a disaster.

However, Shen Ye and Xiao Mengyu exchanged glances, both seeing each other’s worry.

The two knew what had happened before.

In the midst of the silence.

A teacher came out to maintain order, telling everyone not to panic, but also saying it was best not to run around until the earthquake was over.

So everyone stood in the plaza, chatting amongst themselves.

Shen Ye listened in silence.

At a certain point.

Delia’s voice quietly sounded in his ear:

“It’s dead.”

Shen Ye’s mind went blank.

Who?

Who died?

“Nine Phases lost, and it died,” Delia said.

“How do you know?” Shen Ye asked.

“I am the suppressing prison technique specifically designed to imprison it. I have a special, subtle connection to it, allowing me to sense its location and life,” Delia explained.

Shen Ye held his breath, and after a long moment, let out a deep sigh.

Nine Phases died just like that.

Died at the hands of the Black King, who had been undefeated for thirty thousand years.

And the Black King?

Is it dead?

Or injured, or completely unharmed?

…Such matters seemed too distant for him. If Delia hadn’t been taking refuge in his Dharma Aspect, he wouldn’t even have heard about it.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but sigh.

Suddenly.

A line of faint glowing text appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:

“Profession change complete.”
