Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 587

Underworld.

By the Yin Soul Mountain.

River of Oblivion.

The old blind man knelt on the ground, gazing blankly at the river.

He remained there for an unknown amount of time.

He just kept kneeling, like a rock sculpture unmoving for eons.

Suddenly.

A voice echoed from afar:

“Hey, I killed you, do you hate me?”

It was Shen Ye!

His words were like magic, bringing the old blind man back to life instantly.

The old blind man jumped up, without any concealment, directly releasing a myriad of brains suspended in mid-air, unleashing an extremely terrifying mental technique.

The entire underworld was twisted into a fine line by this technique.

Shen Ye, however, praised,

“No matter how many times I see it, this technique is truly powerful, much stronger than all the techniques I’ve witnessed!”

The long saber was raised.

All the sharp glints on the blade emerged and then instantly receded.

The saber.

It was as if it didn’t exist.

Shen Ye executed this slash, yet it seemed as if he hadn’t made a move at all.

An endless golden light emanated from his eyes, transforming into profound trajectories.

He saw it!

With his current strength, there was only one type of slash that could contend with the old blind man.

The saber.

Carved a path of destiny in the void.

—Using the art of destiny to unleash a saber technique, integrating it into a single strike to bring death to the enemy!

The entire underworld instantly reverted.

The old blind man’s technique was immediately broken.

“Just as I thought!”

Shen Ye mused inwardly.

This was a move he had never used before—

Saber Art: Scattered Flowers.

—Seeing through countless trajectories of destiny, thereby pursuing a certain trend of destiny, and delivering a slash to decide the enemy’s fate!

It originated from “Twin Slashes,” “Eternal Regret,” and all the saber techniques Shen Ye had learned, driven by destiny techniques, and integrating various elements as aids, ultimately crafting a brand new saber technique.

Most importantly, this move integrated all the knowledge and skills of that Void Saint!

Of course.

This saber art had not yet reached its peak.

The evidence was—

Shen Ye’s right chest was directly obliterated by that mental technique, leaving only half of his body. It was clear that he wouldn’t live much longer.

“You’re finally dead, you’re finally dead!”

The old blind man cried with joy, rushing forward madly, intending to kill Shen Ye in one fell swoop.

However, Shen Ye’s long saber met him again.

The power fluctuations on the saber did not diminish at all; in fact, they surged dramatically, increasing by several layers of power in an instant.

The long saber, like nothingness, cut through the old blind man’s body.

The old blind man was decapitated.

However, his hand also passed through Shen Ye’s chest.

Both were severely wounded!

In an instant.

Both vanished simultaneously.

The entire world reset as well.

The old blind man returned to a few minutes ago, kneeling by the River of Oblivion, staring blankly.

Shen Ye, however, returned to the mortal world, standing in the dilapidated ancient temple, wielding his long saber, silently pondering everything that happened in their recent exchange.

“This saber art… should have a few more variations, and merely using ‘eternity’ to maintain the blade’s momentum and ‘destruction’ for the爆发 isn’t enough.”

“I need to refine it further.”

Shen Ye thought for a while, and then suddenly had a new inspiration.

—Go fight another round!

He moved, stepped into the void, disappeared from the mortal world, and arrived at the banks of the River of Oblivion again.

“Hey, I killed you, do you hate me?”

He shouted towards the old blind man by the river.

The old blind man jumped up and unleashed a mental technique at him with all his might.

Shen Ye drew his saber and met him.

Both sides began with deadly moves, immediately engaging in battle, and within a few exchanges, they both suffered severe injuries.

In an instant.

Everything returned to its original state again.

Shen Ye returned to the temple in the mortal world, continuing to analyze and refine his saber art.

Time—

Two hundred years passed just like that.

On this day.

Shen Ye was fighting the old blind man as usual.

But suddenly.

He detected a strange fluctuation.

“Hmm? What is this?”

He first exchanged a blow with the old blind man, retreated completely unharmed, and then curiously turned his head to look into the void.

Lines of faint text quickly appeared:

“A very powerful spell has been inserted into the timeline.”

“This is a king-level spell.”

“The opponent forcibly compels you to traverse time and return to a certain moment.”

“The World Invasion War reopens.”

“—As a king, you must face this challenge.”

King-level spell!

Who could it be?

Shen Ye pressed the old blind man with his saber, completely suppressing him with the power of truth, not allowing him to move an inch.

—At the age of one hundred and seventy, his saber technique had already reached this level.

But fighting was beneficial after all.

So he fought with the old blind man for another thirty years.

Until now.

The entire world flashed away.

Shen Ye suddenly found himself detached from the “Life Lantern,” traversing the timeline, and returning to the nightmare world.

Time kept rewinding.

Shen Ye could completely feel these subtle changes.

At a certain moment.

Time suddenly paused.

Kaelon and a fully armored man stood opposite, both looking at him.

“Greetings, Baxter, we specifically borrowed a king-level time spell to meet with you again.”

Kaelon said.

“What do you want?” Shen Ye asked.

—Judging by their expressions, they didn’t know that he had already developed new saber techniques.

Two centuries of tempering.

The “Life Lantern” saber technique had also become stronger.

His strength had increased considerably.

But because most of his energy was focused on refining his saber art, he hadn’t fully dedicated himself to improving his basic attributes.

—He was merely propelled by the continuously infused power of the “Eternal Brain.”

He was now at the eleventh stage of truth.

He had been preparing for so long, and he was going to continue refining his saber art for another hundred years.

However, to his surprise—

They arrived so quickly, even more urgently than he had anticipated.

Furthermore, instead of going into the future, they forcibly pulled him back to a specific moment in the past.

“Allow me to introduce, this is one of the most powerful among the Destruction Overlords, Ojar, the leader of the Three Destruction Lords.”

Kaelon announced loudly.

“Hello,” Shen Ye said.

Ojar slowly spoke:

“The first human to become a king, I’ve observed your saber technique, and after much deliberation, I’ve decided to meet with you before you unleash it.”

Shen Ye remained silent, waiting for his next words.

This person was different from when he last saw him.

The last time the three Overlords used their magic to trap him, he wore chainmail.

But this time.

The armor he wore was like an impermeable can, so much so that his words even carried an echo:

“Every species and civilization has one or two opportunities to soar, this is the law of destiny.”

“I believe humanity’s opportunity lies with you.”

“—You stumbled upon great fortune, comprehending such a saber technique.”

“Now hand it over, and I can allow you to guard a city of destruction, not a cannon fodder city like Black Flame City, of course.”

“Do you agree?”

As they spoke, both began to mobilize their full power, exuding an intensely powerful aura.

—They were already in a state where they could strike at any moment!

As long as Shen Ye said no, their attack would launch like lightning, without the slightest hesitation!

Shen Ye sneered, shook his head, and said:

“Such an attitude from you, do you really think I’d agree?”

“To be honest, I don’t think much of you at all.”

“I agree.”

As the words fell.

The two immediately began to cast their spells.

But at the last moment, they both stopped.

“You agree?”

Kaelon doubted his hearing.

“Yes,” Shen Ye said.

“Don’t try any small tricks, they won’t work,” Ojar said.

“Alright then, I don’t agree,” Shen Ye said again.

“…” Kaelon.

“…” Ojar.

“Are you playing tricks on us?” Kaelon laughed in anger.

Ojar, however, held him down, stopping his spell.

“Why?” Kaelon asked.

Ojar, however, looked at Shen Ye and said admiringly:

“Our accumulated momentum, originally stirred by your first two sentences, was about to erupt, yet you ultimately said ‘I agree,’ which forced us to once again control our power.”

“That peak strike has lost its initiative.”

“If we were to fight now, Kaelon and I would no longer have that ‘momentum’.”

“—This is your strategy, isn’t it?”

Shen Ye shrugged and retorted,

“Just a trivial trick.”

Ojar’s eyes became as deep as the sea.

This again refuted his previous statement, “Don’t try any small tricks, they won’t work.”

This human hadn’t even made a move, yet he was constantly meeting force with force.

Where did he get such confidence?

Was it because of that saber technique?

“Emerging things are always brilliant and colorful, but most are as fleeting as shooting stars, disappearing in an instant.”

“You have lost your chance to live, human.”

Ojar said in a deep voice.

Shen Ye pressed his saber.

All words had been spoken.

Now was the moment of truth.

Since the opponent dared to pull him back to this moment, they must have found a strategy to counter his “Life Lantern” move.

—But I’m stronger now, you know.

Two hundred years passed in a flash.

If you don’t come soon, I’ll be old.

Shen Ye suddenly felt excited.

“Your name is Ojar?”

He asked.

“I am,” Ojar replied.

“Between you and Donao River from World D-0314, who is stronger?” Shen Ye asked.

Ojar was silent for a few breaths, then a trace of killing intent suddenly entered his voice:

“You can start thinking about your last words.”

He suddenly vanished from his spot.

Kaelon followed suit.

At the same time—

Shen Ye drew his long saber and casually slashed diagonally forward.

Ojar was forced out by the long saber, so he simply grabbed the blade with his hand.

Shen Ye’s pupils contracted.

Dare to grab the saber?

Normally, if someone attacked with a saber, you wouldn’t dare to grab it with your hand unless you had a genuine countermeasure.

The opponent was no fool.

Then—

The long saber became formless, swiftly cutting through the air numerous times.

—Saber Art: Life Lantern!

“Fixed.”

Ojar suddenly roared.

Shen Ye froze, his saber technique and spell vanishing simultaneously, and he returned to his position before the strike.

Faint glowing text suddenly flashed:

“The opponent cast an unknown king-level spell.”

“This spell is related to time.”

“Your timeline was forcibly rewound to the moment before you attacked.”

“The opponent’s timeline remains normal.”

“Danger!”

“At that moment, your saber technique ‘Life Lantern’ had not yet been cast.”

“Therefore, the time spell sealed your move.”

“You temporarily cannot use it!”

Shen Ye’s heart sank.

Among the myriad worlds.

Were there actually such techniques?

If I’m always stuck in the timeline before I attack, won’t the “Life Lantern” move always be sealed and unusable?

The opponent’s flow of time, however, was different from his own—

The opponent could attack normally!

No wonder they dared to come looking for him again!

Tsk.

The beings of the destruction side were truly disgusting.

Even if they died, it didn’t matter.

If they couldn’t win, they could run.

After running, they’d come back to fight you again.

So heaven-defying.

No wonder everyone hated them.

Shen Ye slightly held his breath, his gaze sweeping across to the opposite side.

Ojar—

Having just cast the time spell, his spell was not yet complete, and he couldn’t unleash other attacks.

Kaelon had already rushed in front of him.

He raised his whip high.

“Hahahaha!”

“Arrogant and conceited brat, the spells in the myriad worlds are vast and profound, not something a bumpkin like you can comprehend.”

“You only have that one move, once it’s sealed, you’re done for.”

“Now die!”

Kaelon swung his whip with a look of immense pleasure.

In a flash—

Shen Ye drew his long saber.

In his eyes, the entire world had transformed into a different appearance.

—Endless lines.

Each line emanated from Kaelon, pointing to a certain destiny awaiting its unfolding.

These lines wove his future, like blooming flowers, standing proud on spring branches, awaiting their imminent full bloom.

However, this was a battle to the death after all.

Since it was a battle, there was bound to be the possibility of death.

Shen Ye held his breath, his eyes flickering, his long saber held steady.

“I see it.”

A thought stirred in his heart.

He saw that among the myriad complex lines of destiny, there was a wisp of thread, detached from the flourishing destiny, scattering dimly.

—Like fallen petals, helplessly scattered onto the earth, dissolving into mud.

The long saber—

Following the long line of destiny, he slashed forward with all his might!

Saber Art: Scattered Flowers.

In an instant.

All the anomalies of destiny vanished without a trace.

On the actual battlefield, Shen Ye’s saber pierced Kaelon’s forehead, vibrating slightly.

Poof.

A head, bursting with red and white, bloomed and dispersed.

Kaelon’s headless body knelt on the ground, one hand pointing at Shen Ye, the other still trying to raise his long whip.

—The opponent’s “Life Lantern” had been sealed, yet he still possessed such a powerful saber technique!

He couldn’t believe it even in death!

“Law Manifestation Descent.”

Shen Ye whispered, forming a hand seal with one hand.

Layers of overlapping phantom images appeared from behind him, unfurling with a roar.

—Dual Polarity Soul Subjugation!

A phrase suddenly flashed above his head—

“I will meet you by the moonlit terrace of瑶台.”

With the power of this phrase, Kaelon’s corpse and soul were directly absorbed into the dharma appearance.

This time, Shen Ye learned his lesson.

Since you’re not afraid of death, then I won’t let you die.

Come keep the old blind man company.

This exchange of blows, though slow in description, actually transpired in mere seconds.

Shen Ye’s “Life Lantern” was sealed by the time spell.

He pierced Kaelon’s head with a single saber strike.

His dharma form expanded, cleaning up and collecting the soul.

—Clang!

The long saber returned to its sheath.

“You have this saber technique too?”

Ojar asked.

“Otherwise? If you seal one of my moves, I’m supposed to just kneel and beg for mercy?” Shen Ye retorted.

“Fine, after I kill you, I’ll go rescue Kaelon, that good-for-nothing,” Ojar said.

Shen Ye’s eyes flashed.

Even after witnessing his “Scattered Flowers,” the opponent still had the confidence to fight him and potentially rescue Kaelon.

Could it be that besides time manipulation, he had other tricks up his sleeve?

Shen Ye himself had more than one ultimate move.

What about an Overlord?

Shen Ye couldn’t help but become cautious.

He couldn’t afford to fall into a trap.

This guy opposite him wasn’t easy to fool, and if he died at his hands, it would be truly over.

With that thought, he immediately shouted:

“It’s you, come out—”

“Blind Eye Hero!”

Bang.

A soft sound.

The old blind man appeared before Shen Ye.

He was the “Donao River” of World D-0314!

“I asked you just now, who is stronger between you and him, now I want that answer.”

Shen Ye said, retreating a few steps.

The old blind man, however, looked at Ojar opposite.

“Die! Die, go die!”

He rushed towards Ojar, appearing insane.
