Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 601

the palace.

Old John had also departed.

Only Shen Ye remained, quietly listening to the sounds emanating from the depths of the castle.

Boom—

The ground trembled incessantly.

The battle in the alchemy laboratory had been white-hot from the very beginning.

The sounds of spells and weapons, amidst intense energy fluctuations, echoed from afar, causing the two several-meter-tall statues in the main hall to sway back and forth.

Shen Ye pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword and glanced at the two statues.

One was a creature similar to a dragon.

The other was a burly knight, fully armored, with features hidden behind a mask.

The two statues were lifelike, representing dreams and the master of dreams respectively—

They jointly ruled the entire dream world.

In the hall.

The maids had long since retreated.

Even Shen Ye had to gather all his strength, forming a majestic aura to protect himself.

Candle after candle lit up.

Each time a candle emitted light, the castle activated a restriction.

Countless defensive restrictions began to operate.

They maintained the integrity of the building.

If not for that—

The aftershocks of that battle alone would have been enough to destroy the entire palace.

“This is strange, why would you come looking for me?”

Shen Ye spoke.

In the darkness.

A figure quietly appeared, standing tens of meters away from him.

“There’s a saying among humans that I admire very much, and I think I can share it with you.”

The person opposite said.

Candlelight illuminated his face.

—Adrian!

At this chaotic moment, he actually arrived at the palace and confronted Shen Ye directly!

This strongest Lord of Destruction was indeed here!

That is to say—

He had discovered Kaelon, and he had discovered himself!

Was he going to take this opportunity to fight?

Shen Ye gently stroked the hilt of his sword, a hint of seriousness in his eyes:

“What saying?”

“There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests,” Adrian said.

“Speak directly,” Shen Ye said.

“I want Kaelon’s life—all the Destruction Lords have submitted to me, only he remains,” Adrian said.

“That’s your business,” Shen Ye said.

“It’s not good for me to kill him personally, that would make the other Destruction Lords uneasy. You kill him for me, and I’ll give you enough benefits,” Adrian said.

Shen Ye laughed, shaking his head, “We just had a fight, didn’t we?”

“That’s another business, just business.”

Adrian continued:

“Ojar is dead, and I’ve made a fortune—you and I had no grievances before, are you still thinking of killing me?”

“No, but why should I help you?” Shen Ye asked.

Adrian reached out and grabbed something in the void.

A long saber emitting a crimson glow quietly appeared.

He drew his saber—

In an instant.

The entire hall was drenched in the endless crimson light from the blade.

Shen Ye’s breathing paused for a moment.

What a saber!

Such a saber was simply unheard of!

As a true swordsman, his instincts made a judgment in an instant.

In the void.

A line of faint words appeared:

“????, the legendary Blade of Worlds’ Destruction.”

Several more lines of small print were about to jump out—

Clang!

The long saber returned to its sheath.

All anomalies disappeared.

The accompanying interpretation was also cut off.

Adrian observed Shen Ye’s expression and spoke with a smile:

“The strike you used to kill Ojar made me certain that you are a true swordsman.”

“But—”

“I’ve seen your saber, it should be an illusion. Although powerful, it’s not a real saber after all.”

“—An existence like you will surely travel among myriad worlds in the future.”

“You need this saber.”

As his words fell.

Shen Ye fell silent.

What the other party said made some sense.

Big Skeleton was a spirit art, good at eating, and also needed cultivation in ordinary times. It also had its own affairs.

He couldn’t always hang his brother on his waist like a saber.

Charlotte was even less of an option.

Compared to being a saber, she should be a comrade, fighting alongside him.

—How could he always use his wife to fight with other weapons?

He absolutely didn’t want her to be a weapon!

“After this is done, this saber will be yours, and I will accept you as an ally of the Great Calamity of Destruction—”

“You are the primordial spirit of destruction. If you assist me, it will be good for both of us.”

“All of the above, I have written into the True Name Contract of the Will of Destruction, and I will never go back on my word.”

Adrian finished speaking, tossing a contract over.

Shen Ye caught it and looked.

The contract was indeed consistent with what the other party said.

Moreover, this contract was written by a purest flame of destruction, containing supreme laws of destruction.

At the end of the contract, Adrian had signed his true name, leaving a soul imprint.

“Destruction cannot be destroyed. I guess Ojar will be resurrected soon. Now you’re asking me to kill Kaelon, what’s the point?”

Shen Ye held the contract and asked.

Adrian said, “Death is accompanied by weakness, and I will absorb their power to achieve the supreme true body of destruction.”

“Will you become the true will of the Great Calamity of Destruction?” Shen Ye asked.

“You don’t need to know that.”

Adrian’s voice softened, and he continued, word by word:

“Kaelon is arrogant and conceited, not a good partner.”

“Come and work for me.”

“Kill him.”

“I will definitely not mistreat you.”

As his words fell.

Adrian, holding the long saber, retreated step by step into the depths of the darkness and disappeared.

Only Shen Ye remained, still standing in the main hall.

He seemed to be pondering something, and also seemed to be listening to the sounds of battle from deep within the castle.

At a certain moment.

The castle’s restrictions could no longer withstand the impact of that power.

Large sections of walls collapsed.

The dazzling frescoes and bricks on the ceiling continuously fell.

The castle began to collapse!

Shen Ye moved, disappearing from his original spot.

On the other side.

Still within the castle.

Alchemy laboratory.

The battle, from the moment it began, entered a state beyond imagination.

The King of Dreams teleported there.

He immediately saw the door on the wall of the alchemy laboratory.

“Ha, there are two of them!”

“—No, more than that, there should be three.”

“Three gatekeepers ganging up to seize the inheritance of the dream world’s gate… Tsk.”

Before his words fell.

Kaelon, the Lord of Destruction, also appeared.

“Great Lord of Dreams, Ulrich, let me handle this. No matter who the enemy is, I can turn them to ashes!”

Kaelon grinned menacingly, immediately stepping forward to attack.

He swung a punch at the door on the wall.

Thud!

A dull thud came from the door.

All the walls around the door shattered, turning to dust, and then to powder.

But the door remained unharmed.

—The wall was completely gone.

The scene behind the wall came into view, revealing three doors standing together, their edges connected to form a triangle.

“The rules of the first door—”

Ulrich, the King of Dreams, spoke:

“The door will not open without the gatekeeper’s permission.”

“The second door is summon-type, capable of… summoning the dead.”

Before his words fell.

The second door opened.

A humanoid figure walked out.

This was a member of the Winged-Colored Race, his eyes glowing with blood, staring intently at the King of Dreams:

“Ulrich, I’m back.”

A battle axe appeared in his hand, and his tone was filled with bitter hatred:

“If it weren’t for me back then, how could you have ascended to the throne?”

“Now I’m taking everything back.”

Ulrich seemed to ignore him, turning his gaze to the third door and continuing to read:

“The third door is a space-type door, seems to be ready for escape at any time.”

His tone shifted, becoming somewhat regretful:

“Too weak—”

“You are so weak, yet you dare to covet the inheritance of the dream world?”

Boom boom boom boom boom!

A series of sounds came from the second door.

One dead person after another walked out of the door, gradually filling the entire alchemy laboratory.

“Huh? Can he revive so many?”

Ulrich asked in surprise.

Tantai Mingyue whispered inside the door:

“An arrogant fellow.”

“I’ve been working hard to improve my door ability.”

“—Go!”

All the dead rushed forward.

Kaelon was about to attack, but Ulrich stopped him.

“No, my friend, I appreciate your good intentions, but you probably don’t know that this is a moment I’ve long awaited.”

He stepped forward, pressed his hand into the void, and let out a low cry, “Door!”

Rumble—

A majestic dark gate quietly stood tall.

“This is a battle of door abilities. I will personally kill any provocateur.”

As his words fell.

The dark gate slowly opened—

The rules of the door it radiated immediately caused the three door ability users opposite to react.

“We seem to be getting teleported,” Panda said.

“How do we fight?” Tantai Mingyue asked.

“No fight,” Shen Ye said.

“What?” Panda and Tantai Mingyue said in unison.

Before the two could react, Shen Ye had already opened the spirit communication door, grabbed them, and passed through the door—

The three landed on the ground.

This was a multi-layered universe, a death planet.

“We’re back?”

Panda asked in surprise.

“Didn’t we go for nothing?” Tantai Mingyue said.

“It wasn’t for nothing—in short, it dragged out the time, and helped me remove a certain suspicion,” Shen Ye said.

“That guy was very arrogant, aren’t we going to just fight him?” Panda was a little dissatisfied.

“His door ability has an inheritance, and it’s high-level. I suspect it could quickly take out all three of us,” Shen Ye said with a smile.

“By the way—”

“For safety’s sake, you two should dismantle your door abilities.”

Before he finished speaking.

Shen Ye had already disappeared.

Panda and Tantai Mingyue looked at each other.

“It seems we need to continue to improve our strength…”

Tantai Mingyue pondered.

She waved her hand and dissolved her door.

Panda, however, didn’t care about the door at all. He pulled out a phone and dialed a number:

“Hello?”

“Playing mahjong this afternoon? Okay, I’ll be right there.”

He wobbled towards the street.

“Hey, dissolve your door!”

Tantai Mingyue shouted.

“My safe house is the safest! Help Shen Ye stall for a little more time! No problem!”

Panda shouted back without looking, reached into the void for an electric scooter, got on, and zipped away.

“This panda, honestly.”

Tantai Mingyue said wordlessly.

…

On the other side.

The teleportation indeed began!

Ulrich and the door disappeared together.

Kaelon looked at the wall, only to see that the three doors had also disappeared.

—Both sides of the battle had vanished simultaneously?

Kaelon was utterly bewildered, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Just then, Old John arrived.

“Honored guest, please take a rest.”

He bowed to Kaelon and continued, “My master and I will soon kill the enemy. We’ll see you again later.”

After speaking.

Old John also disappeared.

Kaelon stood there for a while, stunned.

“The battle of the gatekeepers… is it that bizarre?”

He muttered in a low voice.

Dream—

A certain layer of the dream world.

A completely closed small house suddenly appeared in the blank world.

—Safe house.

It manifested directly there.

Ulrich glanced at the safe house, then looked at the resurrected Winged-Colored folks, and said:

“Appetizers.”

Rumble—

The dark gate before him suddenly opened.

Endless gray, decaying air rushed out of the gate, sweeping across the land like a tide.

Those resurrected Winged-Colored folks couldn’t resist at all—

Rolled up by the gray airflow, they immediately became immobile and were carried back into the gate along with the airflow.

The gate slammed shut.

Four runes quietly appeared on the gate, continuously flashing with light.

“Well and good, you’ll all die here anyway—”

“I haven’t encountered anyone with door abilities in a long time. Before your demise, we should have a good get-together.”

Ulrich seemed somewhat interested and continued:

“Compared to your simple and foolish door abilities, I have quite a few options here.”

“For example:”

“Unpredictable Evil—”

Before his words fell, three of the four runes dimmed, leaving only the last one shining.

“Life Gate!”

Ulrich declared.

Old John roared with laughter from the side, shouting, “It’s actually the Life Gate?”

“Grant them rebirth.”

Ulrich said in a compassionate tone.

“As you command, my master,” Old John said.

Rumble—

The dark gate opened again.

Those Winged-Colored folks were rushed out by the gray airflow, tumbling haphazardly onto the ground.

They writhed on the ground, letting out agonizing screams.

But it was no use.

They were seen growing one human-shaped flesh-and-blood object after another.

These flesh-and-blood human figures quickly grew larger, transforming into genuine Winged-Colored people.

“Master! Master!”

The newborn Winged-Colored folks all shouted towards Ulrich.

Ulrich smiled, waving in acknowledgment.

As for the original Winged-Colored folks—

Their bodies were drained of all strength, and even their souls had been completely devoured.

Whoosh, whoosh—

Their bodies turned into empty shells, which were gently trampled by the newborns and completely turned into fragments.

Ulrich turned to the safe house and said:

“As you can see, the Life Gate grants them new life—all that is old will be absorbed and inherited, except for their hatred of me.”

“They are all loyal to me now.”

“—I’m only showing this much. Now it’s your turn.”

“You will also become three reborn door ability users, serving me for all eternity.”

Gray airflow surged towards the safe house.

On the other side.

Death Planet.

Panda, riding his electric scooter, suddenly lurched and fell to the ground.

“What?”

“He can still affect me from this far away!”

Panda was greatly alarmed, hurriedly shouting:

“Disperse!”

In response to his thought, the safe house in the dream world suddenly disappeared.

Panda felt his body up and down, found that he was unaffected, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

He lay on the sidewalk, lost in thought.

This won’t do.

He was indeed a very rare door ability user.

But as Shen Ye said—

He was no match at all.

The enemy was so terrifying, what would he do if a real crisis erupted in the future?

No matter where, door abilities were extremely precious.

He originally also aspired to be a savior.

Now, instead of being a hero, was he going to be a coward?

Bah!

Absolutely not!!!

Panda pulled out his phone and dialed a number:

“I won’t be joining the card game. I’m busy. Let’s meet another day.”

He then hung up the phone.

—It was time for real special training!

I want to become strong too!

And fight alongside Shen Ye!

Panda thought silently, a determined look appearing on his face.

Ding-a-ling!

The phone rang again.

He pulled out his phone.

“Hello, little Li, haha, I’m just about to go to the gym.”

“What? You’re home alone?”

“The staff at the Suzhou Panda Pavilion went out for a gathering?”

A moment of silence.

Saving the world is valuable.

Self-improvement is even more so.

But if for the sake of getting close to a fair lady…

“Wait for me! I’m coming!”

Panda hurriedly hung up the phone and ran to pick up his electric scooter.

Tomorrow!

He would definitely start special training tomorrow!

…

Dream world.

The gray airflow dissipated completely.

Ulrich looked at the empty land opposite, his face darkening.

“They didn’t even come in?”

“This safe house is extremely crude, yet it obscured my detection…”

“Damn it, they don’t dare to fight me at all!”

In the next instant.

Ulrich’s expression suddenly changed.

At the same time.

Shen Ye arrived at the alchemy laboratory.

“My lord.”

He called out.

Kaelon said, “Hmm, it seems there’s nothing for us here.”

Shen Ye said nothing, standing beside Kaelon.

In the next instant.

Shen Ye also raised an eyebrow slightly.

In the void.

Lines of faint words quietly appeared:

“You have received the complete ‘Pure Land of Bliss’ inheritance.”

“All the transmission branches of the Sala Twin Trees have found successors.”

“The unique characteristic of the Twin Trees, ‘Balance,’ has begun to manifest.”

“Description:”

“The higher one outputs power, the lower one receives power.”

“The power of ‘Pure Land of Bliss’ and ‘Way of Impermanent Evil’ will become balanced with each other.”

“Unless someone monopolizes the Twin Trees inheritance.”

“Please note:”

“With the ‘Balance’ characteristic of the Twin Trees, you are beginning to receive the power of another inheritor, rapidly improving your door ability!”
