Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 439

Multi-layered universe.

Outer layer.

On a remote planet.

Chatelain was meditating with her eyes closed when she suddenly sensed something.

“Who is it?”

She whispered.

Everything around her blurred.

A little girl, whose face was unclear, appeared silently and whispered in her ear:

“The inheritor of Guanghan Palace is using the Heaven-Shaking Art.”

“I remember that Guanghan Palace has the inheritance of the Heaven-Mixing Art,” Chatelain nodded and said softly, “I didn’t expect him to master both arts? No wonder even I can sense it…”

She closed her eyes again and continued to meditate.

The little girl leaned forward and spoke again:

“The inheritor this time is not human, but a subverter sent by other ultimate creations. He plans to deal with the entire multi-layered universe, and the fate of humanity is at stake.”

“I am weak.” Chatelain still had her eyes closed.

“It imprisoned many souls, using them as minions to fight and kill for it—these minions were drained of their power and released this Heaven-Mixing Art, also for the purpose of killing.”

The little girl continued.

Chatelain still didn’t open her eyes, but slowly said:

“As the Heaven-Mixing Art Spirit—you don’t care, so why should I join the fun?”

The little girl’s voice was cold: “I don’t care who masters my power, I just need him to push my power to the extreme, let me evolve, and surpass that annoying and disgusting guy.”

“But what about you? Chatelain, do you really not care about the survival of humanity?”

“I don’t care.” Chatelain said indifferently.

The little girl nodded and suddenly disappeared.

But the next moment.

She appeared again, as if remembering something, and said:

“There’s one more thing I think I should tell you.”

“Why are you so verbose today? You should know that I’m not interested in other people’s destinies; I couldn’t care less about their life or death.” Chatelain frowned.

“That’s not necessarily true.” The little girl said mysteriously.

…

On the other side.

The center of the multiverse.

World of Death.

In the Primordial Ruins.

Centered on the eruption point of the Heaven-Shaking Art, that supreme power quickly spread, destroying everything around it.

At this moment.

“Xu Xingke” sensed danger and frantically ran away from the direction of the Heaven-Shaking Art.

The Big Skeleton instantly disappeared into the void.

Even the monsters from other ultimate creations fled in disarray.

But Shen Ye was the closest.

He was in the secret passage beneath the abandoned exchange.

He gave up on the Gate to Heaven, turned around, and faced the Heaven-Shaking Art, shouting:

“Descend.”

In an instant.

The massive black shadow soared into the sky, magnificent as a mythical mountain, standing firm against the impact of the Heaven-Shaking Art.

Pagoda!

Built entirely of mottled, old stone bricks, with countless chaotic runes from the primordial era carved on its surface, it stretched deep into the sky.

—The Tower of Heaven!

Shen Ye stood at the top of the pagoda, his body enveloped in purple divine light that reached the heavens, uttering billions of voices simultaneously:

“Who created the world, stand with me.”

Boom!

Three figures instantly appeared deep in the sky.

Qia Luqituolike, the Creator of the Fourth Era, stood in the center, with a Creator on either side of her.

However, the two Creators were stiff and their faces blank.

Qia Luqituolike looked relieved and sighed:

“You have finally reached this point.”

As she spoke, she and the two Creators beside her simultaneously performed a magical gesture.

The Creator on the left, whose face was ruined, shouted:

“Past!”

Qia Luqituolike, the Creator of the Fourth Era, said softly, “Present.”

The Creator on her right, who only had half a body left, immediately chanted:

“Future.”

Three shouts passed, and the three dharma seals were formed.

In a flash.

The Tower of Heaven and the three Creators disappeared together.

Everything was like a dream, no longer existing.

The invisible impact of the Heaven-Shaking Art came head-on, crushing everything in its path.

“I never demonstrate; this is the first time.”

Billions of voices erupted from Shen Ye’s mouth.

The world suddenly transformed into endless lines.

These lines rapidly traversed, forming countless crazily flashing lights.

Light and lines formed a long tunnel leading to an unknown place.

Shen Ye, embraced by countless lines, crashed violently into one side of the tunnel amidst the super-frequency flickering of light.

A flash.

He reappeared in the Primordial Ruins.

At this moment, the Heaven-Shaking Art had concluded, leaving behind a scene of devastation.

“It is indeed powerful,” Shen Ye’s voice resonated limitlessly, “but its dimension is too low; it cannot reach the realm of dreams, let alone the past, future, or parallel worlds.”

“Before a higher dimension, its power, no matter how strong, is nothing more than that.”

“—It’s simply not qualified to contend with me.”

Shen Ye stretched out his hand, clutched at the void, and then turned to leave.

As he moved, the entire world once again transformed into flying lines and light.

The tunnel reappeared.

Shen Ye sped back along the path he came from, finally stopping at a certain moment.

“This is it.”

After he spoke, everything around him reappeared.

The Heaven-Shaking Art assaulted him.

The destroyed secret passage.

—And himself, pushed to the brink.

However, Shen Ye was not afraid at all.

He raised his hand and released what he had grasped.

—He held nothing in his hand.

But—

The Heaven-Shaking Art disappeared.

As if it had never existed, it vanished without a trace, leaving only a ravaged, deep pit.

Faint light appeared as small characters, recording the battle that had just occurred:

“You unleashed the Transcendent Heaven Art.”

“You summoned three Creators to stabilize your past, present, and future.”

“You seized a certain moment in the future.”

“In that moment, the Heaven-Shaking Art had already been executed and completely ended.”

“You copied that moment to the present.”

“At the present moment, the Heaven-Shaking Art immediately concluded and completely ended.”

Shen Ye sneered, then suddenly turned and took a step.

He once again entered the endless tunnel of fleeting lines, speeding along the tunnel in another direction.

Then—

He crashed through a void, landing at a certain moment.

At this moment.

The six people had not yet fully descended.

Shen Ye had also just sent off “Xu Xingke” and the Big Skeleton, and was staying in the abandoned exchange.

He soared into the air, drew out the Spring Rain Blade, and pointed it in one direction.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The void flashed.

A professional appeared.

Unfortunately.

As he appeared, the Spring Rain Blade had already swept across.

He had no time to react.

Everything was perfectly timed—

Bang!

Blood mist sprayed.

Where the saber light passed, a head flew up.

The world showed multiple illusions.

—This was something that hadn’t happened before, but suddenly did, causing the world to split into two different paths.

Shen Ye explained:

“Traveling through the past and future easily creates parallel worlds, but it doesn’t matter; they will only be used by me.”

“—We only need one outcome.”

With that, his figure flashed, and he passed through the tunnel filled with lines and blinding light, returning to the present moment.

“Release.”

Shen Ye said.

In the sky.

The head of the spellcaster among the six professionals suddenly severed from his neck.

He, too, died at this moment.

Shen Ye spread his hands.

The void was filled with scenes.

“Parallel worlds are endless, and anything always has a one-in-a-billion chance.”

Shen Ye pointed at one of the scenes.

In this scene, the other five’s families were harmed by the White Horse Society, so they endured humiliation and secretly swore to uncover the truth throughout their lives.

Shen Ye said:

“As you can see—”

“When you use the Tongtian Art, you can use a certain state of the past, future, or parallel world to replace the present moment.”

He pressed down on that image, shaking it forcefully.

The image scattered.

In the sky.

The expressions of the five professionals changed simultaneously.

“Oh no, we really are fighting against innocents,” one shouted aloud.

“Since it has come to this, why pretend to work for it any longer?” another said.

“That’s right—we’ve already mastered the Heaven-Shaking Art, why don’t we go back, cut through the entire White Horse Society, and avenge our families!”

“Let’s go!”

The few figures flashed and left the Primordial Ruins.

The battle had ended just like that!

Shen Ye spoke:

“These are just for fun; my true power is hidden in the evolving epoch, undetected by anyone.”

He pointed a finger at the sky.

Boom—

A complete illusory universe reappeared in the sky.

Innumerable stars were born and died in the universe.

The twenty-one ultimate creations of truth—

Multiverse!

Shen Ye slowly said:

“Whoever disobeys, we will change their fate.”

“Do you desire this power?”

“But I must say, this power is merely fundamental.”

“Work hard, Shen Ye.”

“—Only through unceasing strengthening can one reach the other shore of truth.”

As the words fell.

The purple light all over his body vanished.

The Spirit of the Transcendent Heaven Art left.

Only two lines of faint light appeared in the void:

“The Spirit of the Transcendent Heaven Art has left you a wisp of power, so that you may try to continue utilizing the past, present, and future power on your body.”

“This power is not enough for battle; it is only for you to experience once.”

Shen Ye closed his eyes slightly.

After fully comprehending the scenes and process of the battle just now—

He then leisurely walked to the end of the secret passage.

There was a tightly closed door here.

The door was covered with runes.

A deep voice sounded:

“To pass through this door, one must accept the curse of the soul, agreeing not to speak of anything outside.”

“The divulger shall die!”

Shen Ye paused for a breath.

“Transcendent Heaven Art.”

He silently chanted in his mind.

In an instant.

He perceived the past and future, understood the reason for the door’s construction, the curse inscribed on it, and even what lay beyond.

At a certain point in the past—

Before the door’s power was activated, the curse was not in effect.

“Replace.”

Shen Ye whispered.

Lines of faint light quietly appeared:

“You have replaced the current door with the door before the curse took effect.”

“The door’s power was not activated.”

“You can enter at any time.”

Shen Ye pushed the door open, strode in, and then closed the door.

“Replace it back!”

He pressed his hand on the door, ending the substitution of past and present.

The door activated again.

Shen Ye stepped back two paces, quietly watching this door.

Faint light characters reappeared:

“Experience concluded.”

“You have not yet reached the level to unleash the Transcendent Heaven Art.”

“Please continue to follow the Path to Transcending Heaven!”

Shen Ye’s eyes darted, filled with shock.

All of this seemed remarkably unassuming, yet it had shattered the shackles of time and space, even qualifying as a miracle.

It transcended dimensions.

If the power of the Heaven-Shaking Art was unrivaled—

Then the Transcendent Heaven Art was a power of another, higher dimension, which could even be called “Dao.”

Transcendent Heaven Art—

Can know the past and future.

Despite the various variables and outcomes of parallel timelines in the future.

All of this was within the insight of the Transcendent Heaven Art practitioner.

Then it can be replaced.

Infinitely possible futures can be replaced in the present.

The preordained past can also generate variables, thus affecting the present.

If I were to summarize it myself—

Omniscient.

Omnipotent.

This is the core ability of the Transcendent Heaven Art!

—It’s a pity I still haven’t mastered this art!

A deep yearning suddenly arose in Shen Ye’s heart—

Anyone in the face of such power would be unable to remain calm, for it could bring true miracles and peace!

At this moment.

Shen Ye wasn’t even in a hurry to explore the secrets behind the door.

“Let me see the latest Path to Transcending Heaven—what are its requirements!”

He silently chanted in his mind.

Faint light quickly flashed into small characters:

“Your ‘Supreme Forgetfulness and Feathered Ascension Scripture’ has reached its peak, producing the following effects:”

“The Primordial Formless Demonic Saint King has merged with you.”

“You are the Demon King.”

“You can use all of its abilities at any time, and when you die, it will die in your place once.”

“After the Primordial Formless Demonic Saint King dies in battle, you will need to cultivate the final stage of the ‘Supreme Forgetfulness and Feathered Ascension Scripture’ again to condense the Demon King once more.”

“Additionally.”

“The updated conditions for the Path to Transcending Heaven are as follows:”

“Explore everything in the Primordial Ruins and uncover its true secrets.”

“When you realize the truth—”

“The Path to Transcending Heaven will update again.”

—I need to uncover the secret of the Primordial Ruins!

Shen Ye was about to move when the ground suddenly shook.

What’s going on?

He grew vigilant.

The next moment.

Everything around him became blurred.

Everything gradually disappeared like a dream.

Darkness.

In the endless darkness.

A voice suddenly sounded:

“Why choose him? I am clearly the grand master of both Heaven-Shaking and Heaven-Mixing.”

“—Besides, you also developed from the foundation of the Heaven-Mixing Art.”

“If you follow me, you will embark on the path of hyper-evolution.”

A flash.

The world reassembled.

Shen Ye found himself back in front of the secret passage destroyed by the Heaven-Shaking Art.

His body was burning with purple transcendent spiritual light.

The Spirit of the Transcendent Heaven Art was still on him!

Lines of faint light quietly appeared:

“Everything that just happened transformed into a dream.”

“Everything in the opponent’s dream was swapped to the present reality, forcing you and the Spirit of the Transcendent Heaven Art to face the master of the Heaven-Mixing Art.”

The master of the Heaven-Mixing Art!

Shen Ye looked across.

He saw an ordinary-looking man floating in mid-air.

The Spirit of the Transcendent Heaven Art spoke:

“Be careful, it is the ‘End Lord of All Eras’.”

“—This is one-thousandth of its true form!”

Shen Ye’s heart skipped a beat.

This guy actually showed up!

The next second.

The Spirit of the Transcendent Heaven Art spoke through Shen Ye’s mouth:

“Your goal is to destroy the entire multi-layered universe, and I need the truths of the Sixth and Seventh Eras to become stronger.”

The man said indifferently, “I can take you to other ultimate creations, there are truths there too.”

“But it’s not the same—”

The Spirit of the Transcendent Heaven Art said, “Besides, neither the Heaven-Shaking Art Spirit nor the Heaven-Mixing Art Spirit has acknowledged you.”

“—They are merely enduring their disgust and humoring you.”

The man shook his head: “Then perish, all of you perish, and the multi-layered universe will be completely destroyed. This is the consequence of your refusal.”

“But what about you?” the Spirit of the Transcendent Heaven Art immediately retorted, “You destroyed us, yet you are still sealed within the multi-layered universe. If you get out, it will only lead to your demise.”

The man was silent for a moment.

“There’s no point in further talk. I have cultivated both arts to an extremely high level. First, I’ll kill this kid you’re possessing, then I’ll capture you too.”

Boom—

A formidable aura surged from him, transforming into a raging gale that destroyed everything in its path.

The Spirit of the Transcendent Heaven Art remained silent.

Attached to Shen Ye, it urged Shen Ye into a state of combat.

“How do we fight?”

Shen Ye whispered, “It’s too powerful; my strength is no match for it at all.”

“Don’t worry. Since he used the Heaven-Mixing Art to bring everything back to this moment, then I can unleash it once more.”

The Spirit of the Transcendent Heaven Art spoke those words:

“My essence is ‘state transference’—”

“My remaining power is enough to transfer your state from a thousand years in the future to this moment. You must be mentally prepared.”

“—This is a confrontation between the Seventh Ultimate Creation and the Twenty-First Ultimate Creation, a confrontation between you and the beings of the Seventh Ultimate Creation, and a confrontation between me and the Heaven-Shaking and Heaven-Mixing Arts.”

“Begin!”
