Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 581
byChapter 564: The So-Called King!
The Yellow Wind Demon was dead.
The golden-haired man stood atop the mountain peak, gazing down at the surrounding lands.
“What other monster has stolen your abilities?” he asked Shen Ye.
“The White Bone Spirit,” Shen Ye replied.
The golden-haired man pondered, “The White Bone Spirit is—”
“A true creation, with self-awareness and mastery of various true principles. Extremely powerful,” Shen Ye said, a look of apprehension on his face.
Suddenly, the golden-haired man formed a hand seal, and corresponding runes appeared all over Augustus.
“Master… I’m in so much pain…” Augustus was bleeding from all seven orifices, trembling uncontrollably.
“Strange, why are your memories so different from before?” the golden-haired man muttered to himself.
As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Ye.
Shen Ye immediately smiled.
—This guy can read his subordinates’ memories.
“This world is like that. If those true creations fully target you, your memories will become chaotic and very strange.” Shen Ye explained.
“I see,” said the golden-haired man.
“Please help me deal with that White Bone Spirit. I would be immensely grateful!” Shen Ye requested.
The golden-haired man remained silent for a breath, then suddenly took a stance, forming hand seals.
“You said—your gate abilities were divided into many parts, guarded by true creations, right?” he asked.
“Yes,” Shen Ye confirmed.
“This is very simple, no need to waste time.” The golden-haired man’s hands erupted with fierce golden light.
The spell was cast!
Shen Ye suddenly looked up.
The sky was covered by an infinite golden glow.
—Due to the other party’s keyword, he couldn’t discern what this golden glow truly was.
But one thing was certain—
This spell was incredibly powerful, capable of directly engulfing the entire “One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones” Dharma Appearance and destroying everything within it!
As the saying goes, one force dominates ten skills!
No matter how many stratagems, under such an attack, they all become a pale imitation!
Shen Ye’s eyes flashed.
Lines of faint text appeared:
“You activated the keyword ‘Will meet at the Jasper Terrace under the moon’.”
“You have moved the Boat of Destruction, Su Su, and other true creations outside the Dharma Appearance.”
“Your current Dharma Appearance is about to endure the impact of an unknown spell.”
This spell was too terrifying!
—Find someone to take the hit first!
County town.
Ruined ancient temple.
The old blind man suddenly jumped up from the ground, took a few steps, rushed out, stood in the courtyard, and looked up at the sky.
“This is his spell…” the old blind man murmured.
Judging by its power, the other party intended to destroy everything here.
—Can I escape?
No.
I’m also within the attack range of this spell.
Since that’s the case—
The old blind man suddenly formed a hand seal, and his entire body quickly contracted, transforming into a ball of flesh.
A sharp bone protruded from the front of the flesh ball, paused slightly, and then fiercely drilled downwards into the ground.
—I’ll hide!
The spell’s coverage was so vast.
The entire world would bear the brunt of this spell’s attack!
Although I’ll also be hit, I can endure it for a while and wait for this spell to destroy the world first.
The old blind man made up his mind.
He, in the form of a pointed flesh sphere, continued to burrow deeper into the ground.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Drilling deeper and deeper.
Strange thing was—
Even though he had drilled very deep, why did the spell still hurt so much when it hit him?
The old blind man endured in agony, speeding up, desperately drilling downwards.
At a certain moment.
Suddenly, the front opened up.
…What’s going on?
The pointed flesh sphere hovered in mid-air, bewildered.
The old blind man’s head poked out of the flesh sphere.
Now.
He clearly saw the current situation.
“Bastard…” the old blind man murmured in a daze.
He was drilling downwards, but who knew the world had been turned upside down?
He was currently high in the sky.
—He was the first to meet that spell!
From all directions.
He was already enveloped by the spell’s light, with no way to escape!
What to do?
Die?
Die here?
No!
“Ah ah ah ah ah—”
The pointed flesh sphere suddenly expanded, changing back into the old blind man, who formed a hand seal in mid-air.
As he moved.
The golden-haired man immediately sensed it.
“Trash… daring to obstruct my spell?”
A mischievous smile curled at his lips as he slowly raised his hand and lightly swung his fist towards the distant sky.
Thump.
A dull thud echoed in the void.
Thousands of miles away.
The old blind man had just cast his spell and didn’t have time to think. He immediately directed the spell in his hand towards the golden-haired man.
Boom!!!
The spells collided, erupting into a pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth.
“How dare you, still blocking me?”
The golden-haired man threw another punch.
This time, the old blind man couldn’t dodge. He was hit directly by the punch, letting out a scream, his entire body bursting with blood and flesh.
“Die.”
The golden-haired man bellowed, clenching his fist, and repeatedly threw punches.
Shen Ye watched anxiously from the side.
True.
You two dog-eat-dog, the power unleashed in your battle can be absorbed by me—
But you can’t kill him!
I only have this one Donao River!
If you kill him, where am I going to find such clean energy again?
Does the sustainable development strategy of the Dharma Appearance still matter?
However, at this point, the die was cast.
The golden-haired man’s punch was as powerful as a thousand jun, and it would immediately kill the old blind man!
At this critical moment.
A rapid, machine-gun-like voice suddenly reached the old blind man’s ear:
“You are a legendary perpetual motion machine, capable of providing continuous, environmentally friendly energy, a standout in the world.”
Then came two “clangs!”
Two keywords popped up on the old blind man’s head:
“Perpetual motion machine.”
“A standout in the world.”
—The Donao River was best at exploiting the power of keywords!
Charlotte was wary of this, so she hadn’t endowed it with any keywords!
The old blind man looked up at his keywords, utterly astonished for a moment.
No mistake—
That was the voice of this Lord just now.
He bestowed upon me the power of two keywords.
Could it be that he realized how terrifying this attack was?
“Conserve your strength, I won’t kill you. Later, join me in a full-force attack.”
The golden-haired man’s voice sounded again.
The old blind man finally understood.
Thump.
A sound.
The old blind man was sent flying, falling into a coma.
Just one more attack—
And the old blind man would die!
The golden-haired man, however, withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the ground.
—It seemed he felt that the “Donao River” matter was concluded, and he could proceed with what he wanted to do.
“Gatekeeper.”
He spoke.
“I am here,” Shen Ye said.
“Your power is about to return—”
The golden-haired man controlled the spell in the sky, leading it downwards.
Rumble!
All the golden light fell onto the earth.
The entire world began to crumble into sand.
“Let’s go.”
The golden-haired man said indifferently.
In the next instant.
The crumbling world suddenly re-formed.
A bloody corpse lay at the golden-haired man’s feet, lifeless.
Augustus.
Augustus was dead.
—It was the consciousness of the Withered Scepter, now transformed into a human body, as if struck by an extremely terrifying force, completely losing its vitality.
The golden-haired man froze for a moment, then suddenly turned to look.
He saw the gatekeeper standing not far away, slowly drawing a long blade.
“So you’re the one behind this.”
The golden-haired man said.
“No choice, you’re too strong. So strong that I could only resort to some roundabout combat strategies,” Shen Ye conceded.
“So that strike of mine just now actually hit Augustus?” the golden-haired man asked.
“Yes,” Shen Ye replied.
“You clouded my senses,” the golden-haired man said.
“Not at all—everything you saw was real; I just had the ability to change it,” Shen Ye countered.
The next instant.
Both of them rushed at each other simultaneously.
Www⊙тt kán⊙c○
A powerful light surged around the golden-haired man, like a human-shaped aura, accompanying his punches.
Shen Ye’s blade thrust forward.
Blade met fist.
The fist shattered the long blade and pierced through Shen Ye’s body.
“You—didn’t die?”
The golden-haired man looked at the other party in surprise.
Shen Ye.
It wasn’t Shen Ye.
It was the old blind man.
In the golden-haired man’s perception, the opponent was clearly dead.
The old blind man spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Hahahahaha! Fooled again, I’ve been fooled again!”
He painfully raised his head, letting out a series of frantic, sorrowful laughs.
—The one talking to him just now was the Green Brain, not the Lord.
He attacked with all his might, thinking he could kill the Green Brain—
But instead, he attacked the Lord!
Crack.
The golden-haired man’s armor cracked.
The old blind man’s full-force strike, imbued with centuries of hatred, was almost the strongest blow of his life.
But it landed on the golden-haired man.
The golden-haired man looked down at the armor on his body, fell silent for a breath, and then said:
“Seeking death.”
He clenched his fist.
The old blind man immediately shattered into pieces, turning to dust.
This “Donao River” also died!
The golden-haired man removed his damaged armor, tossed it aside casually, and looked around.
“Come out.”
There was no response from the surroundings.
“Those who could block my fists are already dead. With the next strike, I will shatter this world.”
“Are you really not coming out?”
The golden-haired man said indifferently.
The void stirred.
Shen Ye appeared silently.
The golden-haired man scrutinized him, then spoke again: “You are cautious enough, and astute enough, very much like me in my younger days.”
Shen Ye said:
“Thank you for the compliment—if you were a peace-loving person, we could immediately cease hostilities and reconcile.”
“I will kill you,” the golden-haired man stated.
“Why insist on a dead end?” Shen Ye sighed.
“Because your blade is too threatening—humans shouldn’t possess such skills. I want to utterly destroy your swordsmanship and you yourself,” the golden-haired man replied earnestly.
Shen Ye lowered his gaze, staring at the long saber in his hand.
Fierce dark flames ignited on the long saber.
He drew his saber and said softly:
“Honestly, I can’t see through any of your moves—I truly dislike this kind of battle.”
The golden-haired man raised his fist and said indifferently:
“Your world is the same. I’ve been fooled several times already. The only way is to completely destroy it, destroy you.”
“It seems neither of us likes the other,” Shen Ye said.
“You die or I die,” the golden-haired man declared.
Both vanished from their original positions simultaneously.
The long blade was the first to pierce through the void, instantly unleashing a shadow-like blade technique.
—Shattering All Things, World-Ending Twin Slashes: Mountain, Sea, Wind, Fire, Soul!
In the void.
The blade light brought forth layers of anomalies, transforming into unpredictable destructive blade light, breaking through the shroud of the Dharma Appearance.
“Good swordsmanship.”
The golden-haired man praised, then continuously struck with both palms.
Each of his palms firmly blocked the long blade. Although the power on the blade was immense, he completely suppressed it, unable to let it unleash its full force.
As the two exchanged blows.
The void opened.
The young Shen Ye held a blade in one hand and formed a hand seal with the other.
—Cyclical Dharma Appearance: Wrathful Heavenly King Appearance!
Within his own Dharma Appearance of “One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones,” he opened the exclusive Dharma Appearance for the Heaven-Shaking Slash!
A Dharma Appearance within a Dharma Appearance—
No one in the true world could use a Dharma Appearance like this!
Countless afterimages emerged from behind the young man, each wielding a long blade, surging like a tide towards the golden-haired man.
Heaven-Shaking Slash!
Layers of blade light obscured the sky and earth, endless.
While exchanging blows with the young Shen Ye, the golden-haired man looked back once and said:
“Human power should not reach this level.”
Countless pupils suddenly emerged from his back, staring at the blades swirling in the sky.
All the blade lights froze.
The young Shen Ye immediately changed his blade technique, leading countless afterimages to unleash another move.
Sky-Penetrating Slash!
“Truth twenty-one-stage saber cut, dao of the saber.”
“Description: Everything that is cut, whether existence or non-existence, returns to the state indicated by your saber intent, irreversible.”
In an instant.
The vertical pupils on the golden-haired man’s back all retracted, returning to their dormant state before the technique was performed.
The young Shen Ye swung his saber again.
The young Shen Ye, however, put away his long saber and formed a hand seal with one hand.
After the first stage of the World-Ending Twin Slashes in Shattering All Things was complete, the second stage would produce a destruction mark!
Indeed, faint black flame runes appeared on the golden-haired man’s hands.
“What is this?”
He asked as he parried the young Shen Ye’s blade with his fists.
“How can commercial secrets be revealed to you?”
The young Shen Ye said.
The second stage of the Twin Slashes—
Could only appear after the first stage was completely executed.
Once the destruction marks formed on the golden-haired man’s hands, the power of destruction automatically generated the second round of destructive slashes, starting at 21 times power and escalating, performing the second round of slashes!
At this moment.
Shen Ye had used all his techniques and unleashed all his power!
The golden-haired man’s hands suddenly exploded into two blood mist clouds.
Immediately after.
He could no longer block the long blades of the two Shen Yes and was cut apart by the crisscrossing blade lights.
Blood splattered everywhere!
The two Shen Yes retreated, pulling away, both staring at the golden-haired man, who had been cut into four pieces.
They did not sense the other party’s death.
Even at the moment they cut through the opponent’s body, a strange, ominous premonition descended upon Shen Ye’s heart.
“Be careful, his aura is rising,” Charlotte warned.
“I feel it,” Shen Ye said.
The golden-haired man’s severed body parts recombined.
The cuts from the long blade healed rapidly.
He was completely restored, without a single injury, and casually flexed his hands.
An inexplicable aura of decay emanated from the golden-haired man.
“I have witnessed the birth of many species.”
“But when they encounter me, they all feel only one emotion.”
“—Despair.”
As soon as the words fell.
The golden-haired man’s entire body writhed incessantly, beginning to transform.
“Your assessment is over, human. Everything about your species will be buried by me.”
“Because I have now descended with my true body, therefore—”
“Your swordsmanship will no longer work, and your illusions cannot deceive me.”
“—You can die.”
The two Shen Yes looked at each other.
A gigantic tentacle piercing through heaven and earth suddenly appeared.
Its colossal size already occupied half the world’s space, and its ends were nowhere in sight.
“I see,” the young Shen Ye said softly.
The opponent’s true body, merely releasing one tentacle, was already too large for his Dharma Appearance to contain.
This naturally shattered the power of his Dharma Appearance.
Because his Dharma Appearance world could only affect a portion of the tentacle.
The tentacle was simply too long and too vast.
Those parts of the tentacle outside the Dharma Appearance were unaffected by it.
And this was just one tentacle.
Who knew how enormous the opponent’s main body truly was!
“Charlotte, you’ve traveled through countless worlds, have you ever seen something like this?” Shen Ye asked.
“The other party was born a king-level species—our true world once cultivated ‘Emperor Species’—but ‘Emperor Species’ are not evolved enough and are far from comparable to this fellow,” Charlotte quickly replied.
“Is there a way to deal with it?” Shen Ye asked.
“We are not strong enough now, and in the king’s cage battle, there’s no escaping,” Charlotte answered.
“We have to go all in,” said the Boat of Destruction.
“That’s right, we used the power of creation just now. Now, as our master, if you use our power, you can increase the power of true creations by several times!” Su Su chimed in.
“Shen Ye, manipulate our power, let’s attack together,” Charlotte urged.
Shen Ye paused for a moment and then put away his long saber.
He looked up at the giant tentacle opposite him, sighed, and said:
“I actually dislike this kind of blind fighting.”
“No intelligence whatsoever, suddenly having to face such a terrifying opponent.”
“At this moment, even if I unleash all your powers, it will only provide it with more information about the true world.”
The gigantic tentacle emitted an earth-shattering sound:
“You speak truly, but you have no other choice.”
Shen Ye smiled and said:
“No—”
“I actually have another choice.”
The young Shen Ye and the adult Shen Ye merged into one.
Immediately after.
A duck flew over, landed on his shoulder, and then suddenly vanished.
His power began to soar.
“Do you think that’s useful? Perhaps it’s time you felt despair.”
The colossal tentacle once again let out a deafening roar.
Shen Ye formed hand seals and responded:
“From the very beginning, you’ve been probing me, collecting all my information, assessing the power of the human species.”
“—I’ve actually been doing the same thing.”
The tentacle vibrated, “I’ve thoroughly understood the power of you humans from your body. What have you gained? The despair of death?”
“No.”
The hand seals Shen Ye formed continued to condense, emitting black flames.
“You and the old blind man both consider my swordsmanship a threat, which is actually true.”
“Because I know what you hate most—”
His words stopped there.
The giant tentacle, however, fell silent.
It already understood what he meant.
“You found out, but I didn’t reveal this information,” it said.
“It was the Donao River; it told me that destruction is hateful because you cannot destroy destruction,” Shen Ye continued.
“You can break through my Dharma Appearance world, but you cannot destroy destruction, can you?”
A moment of silence from the other side.
“So my blade art, when combined with destruction, is truly the power that makes you feel threatened.”
“This is the information I’ve gathered from you.”
Shen Ye’s hand seals ceased.
The sky-filling black flames converged into a gate, which slowly opened.
—The Throne of Endless Destruction, descended!
