Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 536

On the mountaintop.

—The Queen of Destruction, heavily injured, leaned tightly against Shen Ye, her eyes closed as she said:

“In the past, for revenge, I made a vow in the Abyss of Destruction: as long as I obtained the power to slay him, I would willingly serve the Will of Destruction.”

“I obtained that power.”

“But he gained the ability to merge with destruction, and every so often, he could transform into a force of rules and return to the Catastrophe of Destruction.”

“So I was never able to kill him.”

Shen Ye pondered, “Then we can only ambush him, and it must be a one-hit kill, otherwise he’ll escape.”

“Not only did he escape, but he also returned to the Catastrophe of Destruction.”

The Queen of Destruction got up and put on her clothes, her expression filled with worry:

“The real danger is that every time he returns to the Catastrophe of Destruction, he can control its power.”

“—Perhaps he’s coming back soon.”

“What can he do?” Shen Ye asked.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Shen Ye’s heart suddenly stirred, and he couldn’t help but look up.

The sky remained dim.

However, an endless sea of clouds slowly descended towards the earth.

Thus, the earth was enveloped in mist, and the surroundings could no longer be seen clearly.

Lines of faint glowing text appeared:

“The power of the Destruction Aspect, Myriad Capitals’ Perception, has been enhanced.”

“Duke of Destruction Baxter has been designated for enhanced screening.”

“You will enter the endless history of destruction.”

“Amidst the pincers of civilization and destruction, if you survive, you will be qualified to participate in the second round of screening!”

“Begin!”

The mist enveloped the mountaintop, and also enveloped Shen Ye.

The Queen of Destruction said urgently:

“He wants you dead—you will enter many cruel battles, and both sides will mistake you for one of their own.”

“There’s no escape!”

Shen Ye, however, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The teleportation fluctuations intensified, and he was about to be taken away—

He suddenly drew his long saber and plunged it into the Queen of Destruction’s body.

The Queen of Destruction was startled, she was about to dodge, but finally stood still with a resigned expression, taking the blow.

“Why are you killing me?”

She asked softly.

Shen Ye gently said, “I’m not killing you, don’t move—”

The long saber emitted a hum.

Sky-Piercing Slash.

The Queen of Destruction opened her eyes wide and couldn’t help but shiver.

She saw her injuries healing rapidly at a visible rate, and all bloodstains and filth disappeared with them.

—She had returned to her peak state!

Shen Ye spoke:

“The Lord of Death is heavily injured right now, and your injuries have completely healed.”

“Go suppress him!”

“Don’t let him interfere with matters on Earth anymore.”

“When I return—”

He didn’t finish his sentence.

Shen Ye, along with the Tragic Rain Blade in his hand, simultaneously pierced through the void and instantly vanished into the distance.

He didn’t know how long he flew.

Time seemed to become an unknowable thing.

Shen Ye suddenly landed in a trench filled with severed limbs.

Dozens of long spears simultaneously thrust towards him.

Shen Ye smiled, reached out and grabbed a spear, and drew a saber gleam in mid-air.

For a moment.

The entire battlefield was filled with his striking saber gleams, countless millions of them.

“Do you think that’s enough to kill me?”

Shen Ye muttered.

Faint light appeared as small characters:

“You are drawing elements from the current history, you are participating in the battle on the battlefield.”

He suddenly moved.

On the entire battlefield, nothing could obstruct his movements.

Wherever he went, he killed.

All the servants of destruction could not withstand a single one of his moves.

Until several tens of minutes later.

“Congratulations.”

“You have continuously killed and absorbed power, you are about to advance.”

Shen Ye stood still.

A figure quietly appeared opposite him.

The Lord of Death!

However, at this moment, what appeared before Shen Ye was not the true Lord of Death, but his shadow.

“Are you that afraid of me?” Shen Ye asked.

“Don’t deceive yourself, Baxter, I fought her to a mutual defeat, otherwise how could you have taken advantage of the situation?” said the Lord of Death.

“Didn’t you ever consider…”

“What?”

“Her fighting you to a mutual defeat was merely obeying my orders as her master.”

The shadow opposite fell silent.

But the faint glowing text appeared again:

“You have caused the opponent’s anger to reach a new high, becoming utterly enraged.”

“Your resonance with the Heaven-Shaking Slash has deepened further as a result.”

“Please continue to strive!”

Very good.

All according to plan.

“Baxter, stop with the wordplay, I’ve come to bid you farewell.”

“—I will recover from my injuries.”

“And you will die in a situation from which no one has ever survived.”

As if thinking of something, a hint of fear appeared on the Lord of Death’s face, and he continued to speak:

“Its power is simple, but its terror is something you people of this world simply don’t understand.”

Shen Ye suddenly felt something and looked down.

At some point, his legs were locked by a pair of black shackles.

Interesting…

It seems it’s not just about teleporting himself over, there are new tricks involved.

“Destruction demands are issued erratically, failure to complete will result in immediate obliteration.”

“—Without any reason.”

“Despair, fear—”

“No one has ever survived this move.”

The shadow of the Lord of Death finished speaking and gradually dissipated into scattered light particles, disappearing.

Shen Ye moved around.

Shackles…

I’m not Yashiro.

Isn’t this too cosplaying?

Just as he was about to move, he heard the chains on the shackles clank.

A thought instantly appeared in Shen Ye’s mind:

“Endless destruction mission activated.”

“Kill twenty-five soldiers within ten minutes.”

“Succeed, and you can live.”

“Fail and be immediately obliterated!”

This was simple enough.

Shen Ye casually swung his long spear, charged into the battle array, and killed twenty-five human soldiers.

Ding!

“Mission complete!”

“The next mission will begin in seven minutes!”

It’s done.

Shen Ye clasped his hands into a hand seal.

Heavenly Art!

Death transformed into a dream and vanished.

The soldiers stood up again, their faces filled with bewilderment.

“Wasn’t I dead?”

“Was it just a dream?”

“Terrifying…”

They cast a fearful glance at Shen Ye and then turned and fled.

Shen Ye paid them no mind.

He was thrown into an endless war, and with these shackles, he could only use them to buy time and attract the enemy’s attention.

He squatted down and poked the shackles with his long spear.

The shackles rang with a clear clanging sound.

Not a single scratch.

It was very hard!

Faint light appeared as lines of small text:

“Shackles of Destruction.”

“A record-class ultimate destruction artifact.”

“Description: Only the current highest record holder can temporarily survive.”

“—Strive towards death!”

This thing…

It has killed many people, and it seems there’s no way to deal with it at the moment.

It appears I can’t rely on this place to win this battle.

I need to come up with another plan.

Shen Ye thought silently.

Earth.

On the mountain.

With Shen Ye gone, only the Queen of Destruction remained standing.

“To deal with the Lord of Death, keeping him preoccupied—is that what you want me to do?”

“Don’t worry…”

She stepped into the void and disappeared without a trace.

Now, let’s step out of the linear flow of time and look at a period a while later.

When Chatelain and Su Su woke up and went to confront the Queen of Destruction, they first discovered something.

At that time, the Queen of Destruction shattering that term was specifically done to enrage the Lord of Death.

There was a reason for it.

She wasn’t actually “bullying” Shen Ye.

Then, Chatelain and Su Su discovered something else.

The Queen of Destruction was a virgin.

The misunderstanding was thus resolved.

Weapons were put away, banners furled, and the world returned to peace.

This is a story for another time.

But at this moment, Shen Ye was teleported away, entering an endless struggle; The Queen of Destruction went to trouble the Lord of Death.

Everything seemed to have lost all hope.

However, on the other side—

Uncle Seven’s breakfast shop.

Uncle Seven rode his electric trishaw out to the supermarket to buy groceries.

After a while.

A luxurious sports car stopped in front of the breakfast shop.

Xie Lan got out of the car.

Knocked on the door.

“Come in—just pull the door open.”

Shen Ye’s voice came through.

Xie Lan bent down, pulled open the rolling shutter door, walked in, and then lowered the rolling shutter door.

He walked straight through the restaurant to the small courtyard in the back.

He saw Shen Ye sitting in a recliner, holding a long saber, deeply plunged into his own body.

“Suicide?”

Xie Lan was startled.

“Am I the kind of person who would commit suicide?” Shen Ye glared at him.

—The first Shen Ye was under the tombstone.

The second Shen Ye went to the battlefield of destruction and civilization.

This was the third Shen Ye.

“Not suicide? Then what are you doing—”

“Don’t make a sound, this is a critical moment. If anything goes wrong, I’m finished.”

Hearing Shen Ye say that, Xie Lan silently sat down opposite him and waited quietly.

Shen Ye’s eyes were slightly closed.

Saber.

Still pierced through his body.

But he pressed his hand on the saber, seemingly carefully weighing something.

—Like controlling the heat when stir-frying.

Tens of breaths later.

Suddenly, he pulled hard, drawing out the Tragic Rain Blade and returning it to its sheath.

Above his head, a term quietly appeared:

“Mine!”

—The term was back!

No.

To be precise, Shen Ye had adjusted his body to this state!

Faint glowing text appeared in the void:

“You used Sky-Piercing Slash.”

“You made your body return to the state indicated by your saber intent, irreversible.”

“—Wish to buy osmanthus and carry wine, but it’s not like the youthful journey.”

Having done this, Shen Ye let out a huge sigh of relief.

An event more serious than the destruction of the world had been resolved!

“This term is so special.”

Xie Lan said in surprise.

Shen Ye was drenched in sweat, his face tired, as he put down the saber and panted, “Alright, nothing much to see.”

“Why are you so tired?” Xie Lan asked again.

“My strength isn’t enough; I relied on that ship to provide the power to complete that slash. How could I not be tired?” Shen Ye said.

“I came to see you this time to talk about your debut.”

“Debut?”

“Yeah, didn’t I tell you last time? Debuting can let many people know you, making it easier for you to find people.”

“I don’t need to anymore.” Shen Ye said.

He recalled the faces he had seen during the live broadcast worldwide, remembering some of them.

It was time to meet these old friends.

The current situation precisely needed their strength!
