Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 619
byTowering city walls stretched endlessly.
Xu Xingke stood on the city wall, striking a punch through the air.
All the incoming rays of light transformed into long, stone strips, falling from mid-air.
But the dark flames were ubiquitous.
They coalesced into black fire meteors in the air, striking the city walls and carving out holes like asteroid craters.
“Hahaha, why aren’t you so boastful now? Emperor of humanity?”
Sarichi, the Destroyer Lord, laughed loudly.
“This is not your original strength,” Xu Xingke said calmly.
Sarichi spread his hands triumphantly.
In his hand, a burning sphere of flame floated silently.
“The ultimate treasure of our destruction faction is here; it can enhance the power of destruction skills, incredibly potent.”
“With it in hand, killing you is more than enough!”
Sarichi once again unleashed a sky full of fire meteors.
This was simply a scene of world annihilation.
Let alone the boundless Great Wall, even an entire world would be annihilated by such a meteor shower!
Xu Xingke looked up at this scene, a nostalgic look in his eyes.
Back then—
It was just like this.
Most of his power was used to maintain the Eternal Mission deck, allowing them to search for rules in history for the survival of humanity.
Without rules, there was no hope.
But in the end, they failed.
Time went round and round.
Now.
This scene of world annihilation reappeared before his eyes.
But the situation was completely different.
Now—
Xu Xingke clenched his fist, preparing to strike with full force.
Suddenly.
A card flashed out of thin air like lightning.
A rabbit wearing a bow tie stood on the card, its small face flushed, agitated as if it might faint at any moment.
“Your Majesty!” the rabbit shrieked, “The tree—your tree is alive!”
The tree?
Xu Xingke suddenly felt an inexplicable power added to his body.
This was a power he had never experienced before.
It represented “absolute.”
Could it be—
“It’s the rule!”
The rabbit almost roared the second half of its sentence:
“The primary rule, ‘Death Sentence,’ is alive, great Saintly Venerable!”
In an instant.
Xu Xingke made his decision.
He unclenched his fist and skillfully drew cards from the void with both hands.
The first card: “Sacrifice.”
“Description: Publicly sacrifice to heaven and earth, drawing upon the fundamental source power of all realms.”
“—The Four Seas submit.”
The second card: “True Dragon.”
“Description: You will receive the blessing of the source power of heaven and earth, but this blessing only takes effect once every hundred years.”
“—Destiny’s Call.”
Xu Xingke threw out the two cards.
Immediately.
The void seemed to become transparent.
The world was like a long boat, and the void like cliffs on both sides of a surging river.
On those cliffs, hundreds of millions of worlds quietly appeared, like countless rock caverns.
Various source powers flowed out from these worlds, like cascading waterfalls, then surged towards Xu Xingke.
—This was the effect of “Sacrifice”!
Xu Xingke’s expression was solemn as he looked up at the sky full of fire rain and the Great Wall being destroyed by it.
He spoke with an imperial decree:
“Guilty beyond redemption, death sentence.”
Before his words even finished.
“True Dragon” immediately took effect!
The “Death Sentence” rule, which originally had only a 1% chance, was directly activated!
Sarichi’s whole body trembled, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face.
“What is this?”
He asked.
But he would not get an answer.
Boom—
His entire body exploded, like bursting dark fireworks, soaring towards the depths of the sky and quickly disappearing.
The Destroyer Lord was dead!
His soul would return to the depths of destruction, awaiting revival.
—He was dead!
Xu Xingke instantly returned to the secret chamber, meeting everyone’s gaze, but said little, merely walking behind Xiao Mengyu and standing there.
Good Duck deliberately made a remark:
“You won, you won, why kill?”
Xu Xingke then spoke:
“In the great calamity of destruction, countless of my people were slaughtered; today, I avenged this hatred.”
“You hold a grudge?” Good Duck asked.
“No matter how long, no matter how far, I will surely punish them,” Xu Xingke said.
The Pathfinders watched this scene in silence.
Someone sneered:
“Having just grasped a rule, he dares to speak like that.”
Xu Xingke stared at that person, memorizing his appearance, and then spoke:
“Do you have an opinion?”
As he spoke, another card was clutched in his hand.
The person was about to show fierceness but remembered the Destroyer Lord’s death just now.
—Even the Destroyer Lord died.
Should he bet his life?
Just to argue a point, must he stake his life?
“Nothing of the sort,” Dragon Lady said, smoothing things over with a smile, “We especially hope to gain the friendship of the Goddess of Destruction and humanity—we have common interests, don’t we?”
She cast a stern glance at the person.
The person mumbled a few words and fell silent.
Seeing this, Xiao Mengyu smiled, then paused as she was about to speak.
Xu Xingke had killed a Destroyer Lord.
The power of destruction surged into Xiao Mengyu again, continuously enhancing her strength.
—Activate Panda’s rule tree?
Or.
Temporarily keep the power in her own hands?
Her own power was too weak; even if it increased, it couldn’t fundamentally affect the battle.
In just a few breaths.
Xiao Mengyu made a decision.
—Activate Panda Atron’s rule tree!
However, she still needed to ask Shen Ye’s opinion on this matter.
After all, he currently held comprehensive intelligence.
“Activate Atron’s rule tree.”
Shen Ye immediately gave the answer.
Not only that.
He also provided new information:
“Something seems to have happened. In short, I am very uneasy right now—I have a high affinity with the law of destiny, so don’t be careless.”
“Panda’s door and my door, used together, might keep us safe.”
Then it’s decided!
Xiao Mengyu chanted a few summoning incantations.
Panda Atron immediately broke through the void, appeared before her, and knelt on one knee in salute:
“Fighting for you, respected goddess.”
“Good,” Xiao Mengyu said.
Panda immediately sensed something.
It stood silently behind Xiao Mengyu, meticulously sensing the awakening of that rule power.
Xiao Mengyu, however, exchanged glances with Shen Ye.
“Yes, your subordinate will attend to it immediately.”
Shen Ye said.
He retreated into the void, teleporting away.
—The Goddess of Destruction’s subordinate had just been through a duel and killed a Lord.
So now the goddess had changed her guard, sending him back to rest.
This was a normal thing.
Others only took it as the Goddess of Destruction summoning a subordinate, making a temporary deployment, and didn’t say much.
On the other side.
The young Shen Ye returned to the Nightmare World.
He stood atop the tower of Evernight City, looking around, quietly sensing the changes.
“Strange…”
“Everything seems normal, so why am I so uneasy?”
Shen Ye murmured softly.
His affinity with the law of destiny was extremely high, and at this moment, an inexplicable panic surged in his heart.
This danger, whose origin he couldn’t comprehend, even made him unable to care about the battle between Ulrich and Adrian.
What on earth—
What’s going on?
Where did things go wrong?
Suddenly.
A succubus slowly approached, stopping at the foot of the spire, looking up at Shen Ye.
Shen Ye immediately felt her uniqueness.
“You are?”
He appeared directly in front of the succubus and asked.
“I know you; you have the aura of a king, and if I want to act against this world, I must first challenge you,” the succubus said.
“What do you want to say?” Shen Ye asked.
“The World of Truth is about to become an incredibly crazy and terrifying place. If you take me with you, I’ll tell you everything,” the succubus said.
Shen Ye was about to speak, but two women appeared before him.
Charlotte.
Susu.
“Just casually asking someone to take you away, is that the succubus way?” Charlotte sneered.
“However, I have ways to deal with these fallen creatures. If she harbors ill intentions, I can certainly let her know her place.”
Susu also spoke mercilessly.
The two stood ready for battle.
—After all, Xiao Mengyu’s side held the true inheritance of the Sword Art of Destruction, vital for the survival of humanity, so there was no room for shenanigans.
But you, a mere succubus, want to provoke him?
You’re asking for death.
The succubus, upon hearing this, showed no fear, even breaking into an ecstatic smile.
She lunged forward directly, and under Susu and Charlotte’s wary gazes, she grabbed both their hands.
“You’re all still here, that’s great!”
The two continued to observe the succubus’s expression, watching the changes in her demeanor, feeling the almost candle-like weakness of her power, and her plump body that seemingly had no offensive capability.
“Who exactly are you!”
Susu demanded, ready to strike.
The succubus also reacted, immediately speaking quickly:
“Three Paths Soul Annihilation Art.”
Charlotte and Susu’s expressions changed in unison:
“It’s you! Cassandra!”
“How can it be you!”
—The Three Paths Soul Annihilation Art is a skill of the Spirit Capture Net!
This succubus is it?
How is that possible!
The succubus seemed to remember something, shook off their arms, and grabbed Shen Ye’s hand, as if clutching a life-saving straw:
“Quick, take us all out of the World of Truth, or it’ll be too late!”
Charlotte pulled her away, standing in front of Shen Ye, and said slowly:
“Speak slowly, what exactly happened?”
“I was digging in the land of truth, and a monster—it woke up, I was no match for it at all, and was controlled in one move,” the succubus said.
“One move?” Susu asked in disbelief.
“Yes, now I only have scattered threads remaining outside, which can transform into living beings, like this succubus,” the succubus said.
“Are you sure you couldn’t block a single move?” Charlotte asked.
“Don’t doubt me—how could I joke with my life with you guys—come on, quickly take me with you, I swear to stand with you! We can even sign a contract!” the succubus said.
Charlotte and Susu exchanged glances.
—The Spirit Capture Net was the strongest of the twenty-one ultimate creations.
It couldn’t block a single move—
How powerful was the enemy?
No.
Powerful no longer described it.
—It must be terrifying.
The two women turned to Shen Ye, waiting for him to make a decision.
Shen Ye spoke:
“Respected Cassandra, I truly cannot believe that with your combat power, you couldn’t block a single move. Is it specifically designed to counter creations?”
“It does indeed counter all creations,” the succubus said.
Before the three could even breathe a sigh of relief, the succubus added: “I even suspect the entire World of Truth was prepared for it—it’s awakening various creations, and its power is gradually recovering.”
“We must leave immediately.”
“Or it’ll be too late!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Ye said no more.
“Door.”
He called, opening a spiritual door.
“Charlotte, put away the Nightmare World. Susu, support this lady. Let’s go.”
His words fell.
He had already pushed open the door.
Stepping through it.
The entire Nightmare World merged into the dharma idol behind him, accompanying him as he crossed the barrier, leaving the land of truth and the void.
—Originally, the Nightmare World was placed in a multi-layered universe, and the body of the multi-layered universe was within the World of Truth.
This was to make it convenient for Shen Ye to return at any time.
Also because everyone was more familiar with the World of Truth than the myriad realms outside, making it easier to deal with things.
Now that there was a change in the World of Truth, Shen Ye decided to leave completely.
The door disappeared behind Shen Ye.
He descended, stood on the blood and flesh ground, and once again unfolded his dharma body, releasing Charlotte and Susu.
—This was the Eternal World that had been defeated.
“Huh?”
The two women exclaimed in unison.
“What’s ‘huh’ about?” Shen Ye asked.
“Where’s the Spirit Capture Net?” Charlotte asked.
“Oh, my spiritual door is a bit strange—it doesn’t truly exist, and only targets chosen by me can pass through it,” Shen Ye said.
“You didn’t choose the succubus?” Susu asked.
“That’s right,” Shen Ye said.
The two women were slightly stunned.
Shen Ye’s gaze turned cold, but his tone was surprisingly calm:
“If someone encounters danger and needs to save themselves, they would never ask someone weaker than them for help.”
“Perhaps it’s truly at its wits’ end?” Susu said.
“Then the question arises—in its perception, and even objectively, my strength is inferior to it.”
“Why would it seek help from an enemy weaker than itself, and one that stands on the opposite side?”
“Unless there’s something amiss here.”
“So—”
Shen Ye spread his palm.
In his hand, he held a thin thread about seven or eight centimeters long.
“A thread from the Spirit Capture Net?”
“So short, and with almost no power left!”
The two women exclaimed.
Shen Ye said:
“My chosen target was not the succubus, but ‘the Spirit Capture Net or its components that have not been controlled or threatened in any way’.”
“Only this target I specify can pass through the spiritual door.”
Susu looked at him in a daze, and couldn’t help but say:
“This is too cautious…”
The thin thread in Shen Ye’s hand gently flew up, twirling in the air, transforming into a young girl of eight or nine years old.
“Finally free.”
The girl showed a look of relief after escaping danger.
“Were you controlled just now?” Charlotte asked.
“I didn’t know before—but now I do—”
“Most of ‘me’ remained on the other side of the door, unable to pass. In that instant, I sacrificed all my threads, leaving only this last pure thread to pass through the door.”
The girl said with a cheerful and joyful smile.
“Now tell me the truth, Cassandra,” Shen Ye said, “Who controlled you?”
Upon hearing his question, the girl’s smile immediately disappeared, and she said in a terrified and uneasy voice:
“I dug it out from the depths of the land of truth. It’s incredibly strong—be warned, it’s a level of strength completely different from ours, absolutely beyond resistance.”
Shen Ye looked at her, silently entering the “Mandala Uroboros” flow state.
A line of combat power values appeared above the girl’s head:
“10,000,000.”
Indeed, her vitality was greatly reduced.
The Spirit Capture Net’s combat power was once over 100 million; now only 10 million remained.
Now what?
Shen Ye pondered for a few breaths, then spoke: “Charlotte, how strong is a Saint-level existence?”
“Haven’t you met a ‘realized’ Saint? Old John,” Charlotte said.
Old John was inferior to the ‘King’, defeated in one move.
The Spirit Capture Net was inferior to the monster in the depths of the World of Truth, directly controlled.
Tsk.
What happened?
Why is there a feeling of impending storm?
Indeed.
His saber technique had improved, and he had indeed awakened the power of rule mastery.
But the Spirit Capture Net, with 100 million combat power, was no match for the opponent!
…In the myriad realms, there are many strange abilities, impossible to guard against.
Then.
His optimal strategy had emerged.
“Let’s lay low.”
Shen Ye spoke.
“Lay low?” Charlotte and Susu said.
“Putting aside the Pale World and the World of Truth, the Dream World alone has the shadow of Saints behind it.”
Shen Ye gradually figured out the whole situation and continued:
“We shouldn’t stick our necks out. We should hide and observe the situation, prioritizing self-preservation.”
“That’s a good idea! That’s exactly what we should do!” The voice of the Chaos Ark suddenly rang out.
“You shut up,” Susu said irritably.
“Listen to Shen Ye,” Uncle Seven said.
“Okay, I have no objection either,” Charlotte said.
Everyone looked at the girl.
“I’m already grateful for you saving my life; I’ll listen to whatever you guys say,” the girl said.
Very good.
Agreement reached!
Shen Ye said no more, reaching out and forming a hand seal.
In an instant.
Lines of faint glowing text quietly emerged:
“You are the Eternal Truth Destroyer Beast, Super Saiya Duck.”
“You have currently fused three bodies and gained the attributes and powers of three bodies stacked.”
“Your chosen main body is:”
“Destroyer Primordial Spirit.”
“Fusion complete!”
In an instant.
Shen Ye, along with all the various artifacts of truth, vanished.
Dream World.
On the battlefield.
Ulrich, the King of Dreams, soared into the sky, leading thousands of soldiers and horses, charging towards Adrian and Shen Ye.
“Still not making a move?”
Adrian shouted.
Ulrich also stared at Shen Ye.
Shen Ye smiled and said:
“Why won’t you believe me?”
He directly crushed the token.
“You!”
Adrian’s face changed.
—What exactly did the Saints mean?
Why would this happen!
But in the next second.
He had no chance to ask anything else.
Shen Ye disappeared from his spot directly.
“Hahaha, your accomplice ran away, Adrian!”
Ulrich roared with laughter.
Adrian’s face was gloomy, he grabbed a spear and muttered:
“Actually, it doesn’t matter if he’s not here, Ulrich, you are bound to die here today.”
Boom—
His whole body erupted in scorching dark flames.
The spear also began to change form.
…
Both Shen Yes disappeared simultaneously.
Only the Good Duck in the secret room remained.
It suddenly yawned.
—Being a duck, feeling sleepy was perfectly normal.
You couldn’t expect a pet to be energetic and working twenty-four hours a day.
Nor could you expect a pet to lead the charge into battle.
Right?
Good Duck made up its mind, buried its head in Xiao Mengyu’s embrace, closed its eyes, and began to feign sleep.
Anyway, Adrian couldn’t possibly cooperate with Ulrich.
Let them fight.
Next.
The only collaborator in the Dream World could only be Xiao Mengyu!
Then subdue other destroyers.
Gather all the power of destruction on Xiao Mengyu.
What the Eternal Poem required would be completed!
“Humanity will rise from now on.”
Good Duck still looked forward to this.
As for now—
Good Duck felt that there was nothing to think about for the moment and could truly have a good sleep.
However, a voice rang in its ear:
“Um… Excuse me, this duck is a member of our Pathfinders. Can you give it back to me?”
—It was Dragon Lady!
Good Duck opened its eyes and met Dragon Lady’s gaze.
“Lord Ulrich hasn’t made a choice yet, but you’ve directly chosen the Goddess of Destruction. This is too biased and not good.”
Dragon Lady transmitted her voice.
Good Duck was about to explain, but Xiao Mengyu had already interjected:
“I am his client, I’ve already paid. For this period, he is mine.”
What!
Good Duck turned its head towards Xiao Mengyu in shock.
It’s one thing for me to go bad, but you, such a pure and lovely girl—
Did you go bad too?
“Stay by my side—I always feel safer this way,” Xiao Mengyu transmitted.
“Really?” Good Duck asked.
“An intuition from sword intent,” Xiao Mengyu said.
Good Duck nodded silently.
Xiao Mengyu had indeed improved a lot; she could even suppress the flushed state of her cheeks with her sword intent.
Perhaps there was indeed some premonition?
Never mind.
I’ll cover for her.
“She did pay,” Good Duck said to Dragon Lady.
To make it seamless—
Good Duck had to use its entropy points to make a payment, booking its own time.
Life in the Jianghu truly was helpless.
“It’s already so late, and you’re still doing business?”
Dragon Lady gave him an exasperated look, feeling a bit helpless.
“Working in the service industry, one still needs professional ethics—besides, she paid for extra time,” Good Duck emphasized.
Double the price!
Dragon Lady had nothing more to say.
—Not doing business when the door is open is a bad omen.
Besides.
Which businessman dislikes money?
“Welcome to the Entropy Holy Realm someday, esteemed Goddess of Destruction.”
She smiled at Xiao Mengyu.
At this moment.
Good Duck, to maintain the seamless facade, once again paid with entropy points.
—These bills, Dragon Lady, as the boss, could check.
If Xiao Mengyu hadn’t paid—
Dragon Lady’s expression wouldn’t be like this, nor would she be so easy to talk to.
Duck sighed silently.
Tsk.
For the sake of my old classmate, I’m paying to play myself.
I’ll endure it.
Good Duck nestled in Xiao Mengyu’s arms, quietly observing its surroundings.
Nothing seemed unusual.
—Xiao Mengyu was still a young girl after all.
Although her swordsmanship had improved greatly, she could be in danger at any time in such a grand scene.
So her wanting him to stay by her side—
It was understandable.
…
On the other side.
World of Truth.
A hand reached out from the darkness, grasping a handful of thin threads.
“Escaped?”
“Something ‘filtered’ my control technique, and the Spirit Capture Net abandoned most of its body.”
“Boring little tricks.”
“Your fate is already sealed, yet you still rely on the ignorance of all beings, making meaningless struggles.”
“Pitiable.”
The hand in the darkness lightly flicked a finger.
Snap.
A light sound.
The observation post that Shen Ye had left in the World of Truth’s void, thanks to his “Off-Hooker” trait, was destroyed.
