Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 642
byAtop a ten-thousand-foot cliff.
Xu Xingke sat cross-legged.
He was meditating on the punch Shen Ye had brought him.
Just as he was on the verge of a breakthrough in power, having gained some enlightenment.
Suddenly—
His expression changed, and he took out his card book, flipping to a certain page.
“How is this possible…”
“How can there be a card in my card book that I don’t know about?”
Indeed, a faintly visible card appeared on the page, its surface completely blank.
But next to the card, a corresponding description appeared:
“Original Tarot Card.”
“Mechanical Hermit.”
“Description: Set up hidden observation outposts for each Tarot card to monitor the movements of all Tarot cards.”
Xu Xingke’s expression was one of grim determination.
From ancient times to the present.
Every human powerhouse had joined the Tower of Tarot, possessing Tarot cards that allowed them to communicate with other members.
This meant—
Everyone was under the surveillance of this card.
“Destroy this card.”
Xu Xingke spoke.
But before his words could completely fall, the card suddenly shot into the sky, instantly piercing through the void, and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time.
In the depths of the Destruction Faction, within that Church of Destruction.
Xiao Mengyu suddenly drew her longsword and thrust it into the void.
The card that had just flown out of her was instantly pierced by the longsword.
“My identity card?”
She looked at the card in surprise, countless thoughts flashing through her mind.
So that’s how it is!
As she suddenly understood, lines of small, glowing text appeared:
“You have discovered the true mechanism lurking within humanity, and comprehended its truth.”
“Now participate in this great battle.”
“If you successfully annihilate the enemy, your destruction mission ‘Forge Swords into Plowshares’ will be completed, and you will receive an evolved Destruction Law Tree.”
Battle…
Who is battling?
Xiao Mengyu didn’t need to think much; the answer immediately came to her.
On the other side.
The battlefield.
“Yin-Yang Fate Officials.”
“Unique method, emerging aspect, the most truth-approaching法界聖相 (Law Realm Saint Aspect).”
“Description: When the Aspect rotates to the Yin realm, any enemy entering it will surely die; when the Aspect rotates to the Yang realm, you within it will revive.”
A vast world of Yin instantly enveloped the void.
And—
The Modifier stood unharmed in the wilderness of the Yin realm, saying:
“Life and death can only bind the masses.”
Shen Ye remained silent.
He drew two blades.
One was the Law Blade from the White Emperor.
The other.
Naturally, was the Night God Blade.
The two blades, under the effect of the “Mandala Uroboros” entry, fused into a new long blade.
This was a straight blade.
Snow-white blade engraved with continuous, intricate runes, exuding an inherent majesty.
“Gloomy Splendor.”
“The Night Blade praised by all laws.”
“Possesses the following powers:”
“Divine Absorb.”
“Description: 90% chance to take an item from the enemy’s body, or an item you specify, during combat.”
“—It doesn’t matter if you lose something, after all, it blocked disaster for you.”
The blade grew stronger.
But it didn’t make much difference!
Shen Ye grew anxious, speaking:
“Don’t force me.”
“No one is forcing you, this battle is your own choice,” said the Modifier.
Shen Ye sighed.
“Then, the next move will be your doom. If you have any last words, you can speak them now—this is the privilege of the first human to discover us,” said the Modifier.
“You’re still forcing me,” Shen Ye sighed again.
The Modifier fell silent.
—This human was too terrified at the moment of death, to the point of a nervous breakdown.
Disappointing.
“It’s over.”
The Modifier spoke.
It was about to strike, but saw the young man opposite reach out and press into the void, then take a step.
—The young man vanished instantly.
The Modifier froze.
Disappeared.
Completely vanished before its eyes.
This kind of thing was impossible for humans to do.
Unless—
“Is it a gate ability?”
“Since the fall from the other shore, only a very few gate abilities have traversed the aether, causing harmful leaks, but generally, they have been within control.”
“Your gate… is not among the marked types.”
“Could it be a new ability generated by the World of Truth?”
You guessed it.
An unprecedented sense of crisis rose in Shen Ye’s heart.
The Gate of the Forbidden Zone was invisible.
He hid within the gate, empowering himself with his Dharmakaya, releasing his full strength, and thrusting the long blade out of the gate—
In the endless dark void.
A cold light pierced through vast distances, striking the Modifier’s back.
The Modifier’s body trembled slightly, and it directly withstood the blade light, turned, and threw a punch.
No one knew how powerful such a punch truly was.
Shen Ye didn’t even think about blocking this punch.
“Gate.”
He silently intoned, summoning the Gate of the Forbidden Zone to block in front of him.
“You have resummoned the Gate of the Forbidden Zone.”
“Setting obstacle to ‘the distance to the Modifier’s groin’.”
Boom—
Across the endless void, that punch indeed struck the gate, instantly penetrating it.
The Modifier was hit by its own punch!
It rolled several times, then regained its balance, holding its crotch and sneering:
“Only I can harm me—”
“But I have seen through your gate ability; don’t expect it to work next time.”
This was true.
Shen Ye looked at its back, only to see the blade wound was merely a tiny, imperceptible crack.
Small glowing text, as a battle log, floated nearby:
“You used the longblade ‘Gloomy Splendor’ and successfully hit the enemy, stealing a portion of the enemy’s life force.”
The wound was too small!
This was simply not enough to defeat the opponent.
Shen Ye fell silent for a moment, shook his head, and turned to leave.
He opened the gate to the Eternal World, and before the enemy could arrive, he once again began to use the entry “Mandala Uroboros.”
—Even after fusing with the White Emperor, there was still a huge power gap with the opponent.
Then.
He only had one last path left.
“Flee, return to the World of Truth. Perhaps there are powerful beings hidden deep within the World of Truth.”
The Chaos Boat hurriedly spoke.
“No—even if something is hidden in the World of Truth, it definitely won’t be on our side,” Shen Ye said.
“Then what do we do?” Susu asked in alarm.
“Hide in the gate; that way, at least we won’t be discovered,” Chatterley said.
This time, before Shen Ye could speak, the Spirit Catching Net already spoke:
“It’s useless…”
“I feel that monster will destroy everything, and then let the entire myriad worlds continue to develop according to its plan. We would merely be escaping with our lives, with nowhere left to go.”
“Usually, in such a situation, there’s one more way,” Shen Ye said.
“What way?” everyone asked in unison.
“Gather the strength of everyone,” Shen Ye said.
“Where did you hear such an unreliable method?” Uncle Seven sighed.
“That’s usually how it is,” Shen Ye said.
“But in front of that monster, any existence is just a rabble,” Chatterley said.
Shen Ye nodded slightly.
Yes.
But—
He had a way.
“Come on.”
Shen Ye whispered.
The Eternal World, the entire flesh and blood land trembled violently, then disappeared in an instant.
Shen Ye’s power fluctuations, however, continuously rose.
“Found you!”
The Modifier roared, appearing in the Eternal World.
“Gate.”
Shen Ye’s voice rang out simultaneously.
He opened the gate and left, returning to the myriad voids, gripping his long saber, and suddenly, both he and the saber turned into saber light, rapidly traversing.
Everything in his path was utterly annihilated.
And his power continuously ascended.
Faint yellow text furiously refreshed:
“You unleashed Aether Blade – Transcendence, moving through the myriad worlds.”
“You continued to release the term ‘Mandala – Uroboros’, using its power to absorb all elements.”
Void.
World.
All things.
All beings.
Everything, without exception, was absorbed by the blade light that flashed across the void.
At this point, the saints were almost all dead or wounded.
No one could stop Shen Ye’s efforts to defeat the Modifier.
Clang!
A metallic clash echoed through the entire void.
Thousands of planets were hit by the aftermath of this strike, collapsing completely and rapidly from their surface to their core.
Shen Ye blocked a move from the Modifier, and his heart involuntarily tightened.
Must be fast!
Must absorb all power even faster!
Otherwise, if all worlds were destroyed, there would be nothing left for him to absorb.
“Not bad, you can even block a move from me. It seems you are indeed improving.”
The Modifier said.
Shen Ye did not reply.
The long blade, using the momentum from the fist-blade, retreated, carrying him into the Forbidden Zone Gate behind him, and instantly moved away.
He once again transformed into a blade of light.
He traversed—
He traversed through countless worlds on the verge of destruction, absorbing all available power.
There was another benefit to doing this.
Those thoroughly integrated beings—
If Shen Ye could survive, he could still restore them with “Mandala Incantation,” which would be equivalent to avoiding this world-ending battle!
But see a streak of blade light pierce through the endless darkness, constantly accelerating.
Faster.
Even faster!
However, to Shen Ye’s surprise—
The Modifier no longer pursued him.
It allowed Shen Ye to absorb the power of one world after another, without offering any resistance.
Until tens of thousands of worlds on the verge of destruction were completely absorbed—
Only then did the Modifier slowly appear in the dark void.
“You didn’t stop me.”
Shen Ye spoke.
“Because if you knew the truth, you wouldn’t waste your efforts like this,” the Modifier said calmly.
“Truth?” Shen Ye repeated.
“Yes—before you die, it doesn’t matter if I let you know what despair is—”
The Modifier slowly said:
“The total ‘elements’ possessed by the myriad worlds beneath the Aether are less than sixty percent of my power.”
“And the World of Truth is something you cannot fuse with.”
“As for the Eternal World—its entire elements amount to one and a half percent of my power.”
“Therefore, your power, at most, will not exceed seventy-five percent of mine.”
“I can kill you with ease.”
The Modifier spread its arms, and declared loudly:
“Everything was planned long ago.”
“To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, even my power was pre-set!”
“Now, die!”
Dense runes of law began to appear on its body’s surface, rapidly forming a circular shape.
A phantom image immediately appeared behind the Modifier.
That grand, ineffable world slowly unfolded, filling the void, completely saturating the ten directions.
“Dharmakaya…”
Shen Ye murmured.
“That’s right! It’s the Dharmakaya!” the Modifier said, “It was originally our power, how dare you humans defile it! You are not worthy!”
Suddenly, a shadow flashed.
Xiao Mengyu!
She landed directly beside Shen Ye, and quickly said:
“Count me in.”
Shen Ye did not hesitate, directly integrating her into his body.
The Twelve Main Gods and all the power of destruction immediately became his.
Rumble—
Boundless dark flames emanated from Shen Ye’s body.
“Increased strength is also useless.”
The Modifier’s expression remained unchanged, continuing:
“I have records of all your human moves. Even your sword techniques, under the record of your personal card, I have already understood their secrets.”
“I hold all your secrets!”
Both sides disappeared simultaneously.
The long blade wreathed in dark flames and the fist-blade clashed back and forth.
Thud!
Shen Ye was sent flying, half of his body a bloody mess, revealing gnawing white bones.
“I understand every one of your moves!”
The Modifier pressed close.
Splash—
All the surrounding scenery changed.
It found itself on the other side of the myriad voids.
“It’s a gate ability again…”
The Modifier muttered impatiently.
It stood its ground, and began to unleash its full power.
—The opponent’s gate ability was merely a trick.
It would unleash its full power and erase the opponent, along with his gate, from the myriad voids!
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
The Modifier’s entire body emitted a magnificent and endless blazing light.
This was the fluctuation of power.
They were so powerful that they materialized into a brilliance even more blazing than a star!
“Die.”
The Modifier uttered a single word.
It raised its fist, preparing to unleash that decisive attack.
However—
Shen Ye was gone.
The Modifier’s mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of mockery.
Hiding can only prevent one from being discovered.
But—
This move can destroy everything!
Even if you hide, you’ll still die!
Its figure flickered, flying to where Shen Ye had last appeared, and unleashed a full-powered punch.
The entire void fell silent.
Darkness began to collapse.
Everything—
All existing matter in the void was compressed by this punch, transforming into a dark sphere.
The Modifier seized this sphere and crushed it with force.
Dead!
It flicked its hand, scattering countless fragments into the shattered void.
“He’s not dead.”
A voice suddenly sounded in the Modifier’s ear.
The Modifier abruptly turned its head to look.
Only the nest still remained in the endless void.
The sealed “machine” hummed, reminding it:
“The battle is not over!”
“He escaped!”
Escaped?
The Modifier paused, then suddenly looked up.
The myriad worlds had been destroyed.
The only place the opponent could have escaped to was—
The Aether.
The opponent went to the Aether!
The Modifier’s figure flashed, and it immediately rushed high into the sky, disappearing into the Aether in a few moves.
At the same moment.
In the Aether.
Shen Ye’s entire body exuded a great power.
The power of the “Mandala Uroboros” entry was radiating in all directions, attempting to absorb elemental power from the Aether.
—But it was useless.
Lines of faint yellow text flashed before Shen Ye’s eyes:
“The Aether cannot be absorbed.”
“The Aether cannot be absorbed.”
“…”
Shen Ye was a little dazed.
What to do?
Could it be—
He looked up into the depths of the Aether.
Was he to flee to the Other Shore?
He steadied himself and began to rethink his battle strategy.
Judging from their recent exchange.
That Modifier seemed to truly know everything.
It had been by his side all along.
It had seen all his moves, and even the process of him honing his blade techniques; it had been monitoring them.
—Everything was under its control!
Right now.
His strength was inferior to it.
All his moves had been thoroughly understood by it.
This was truly the worst situation.
A sense of powerlessness welL-ed up in Shen Ye’s heart.
—Perhaps this was despair?
He shook his head, as if to shake off all negative emotions.
Calm.
I didn’t come this far to lose to it.
There must be some other battle strategy available.
Exactly…
What other way is there?
Shen Ye’s gaze shifted slightly, then he suddenly saw a small black dot flying up from not far away.
—The Modifier.
It had already arrived!
At this instant.
A thought suddenly flashed through Shen Ye’s mind.
The opponent had control over everything in the myriad worlds.
Nothing could escape its notice.
Every power and technique was deeply understood by it.
If that was the case.
—Then what about things outside the myriad worlds?
Outside the myriad worlds.
Outside the myriad worlds…
“Die.”
The Modifier raised its hand from afar, delivering a punch through the air.
All the dim cloud layers in the Aether parted to both sides, clearing a path.
The power of this punch would destroy Shen Ye along with the gate!
But Shen Ye didn’t resist at all, retreating directly backwards—
“Gate!”
The moment the gate appeared, it was destroyed by that boundless power.
Shen Ye continuously unleashed thousands of blade energy streams, simultaneously activating the power of “Mandala Uroboros.”
“You used ‘Divine Absorb’ on the Gloomy Splendor blade to specifically absorb the elements and energy of the opponent’s attack.”
“You used the ‘Mandala Uroboros’ entry to fully absorb the elements and energy of the opponent’s attack.”
“The opponent’s attack weakened slightly.”
“All absorbed power was released to block the opponent’s attack.”
“You activated ‘Super Saiyan Duck Man’, switching all your power attributes to destruction.”
“Destruction cannot be destroyed.”
Boom—
Shen Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward.
At this moment.
Despite continuously blocking the opponent’s attack with various methods, he was still severely wounded!
“Gate.”
He chanted again, opened a gate, and crashed into it.
The void flashed.
He returned to the myriad worlds that had fallen into an endless collapse.
Before the Modifier could catch up—
He wanted to activate the “Heavenly Communication Art” to heal his injuries, but a prompt quietly appeared:
“Battle failed, you will lose past, present, and future. Therefore, before the result of this battle is determined, you cannot use past and future states.”
Damn it.
Using the Law for healing should be fine!
He activated the White Emperor’s Law power to quickly heal all his injuries.
Before the Modifier could pursue—
While racing against time to heal his wounds, he activated a term.
He flipped his hand.
A magnificently glowing crystal was pulled out from his body.
Faint yellow text furiously refreshed in the void:
“You are using ‘Mandala Chant’ to fill the already absorbed, transformed, and fused Chosen Crystal ‘Transformation into Female’ with elements, changing its attributes, and allowing it to re-condense into form.”
Yes!
This crystal was the only sliver of hope in the entire battle!
If—
The Modifier controlled everything in the myriad worlds, knowing all the powers, rules, and techniques of humans and various races like the back of its hand.
Then—
There was one thing it couldn’t control.
The Chosen Crystal.
Countless years ago—
The Saints observed the Other Shore, then split into two factions.
One faction decided to stay away from it.
The other faction tried every possible means to approach it.
—Even if its power could destroy the myriad worlds, they had to understand it!
The radical factions among the Saints.
They went to the Other Shore one after another, explored there, and finally brought back this Chosen Crystal!
This crystal did not belong to the myriad worlds!
So—
It was something outside of the opponent’s control!
Shen Ye sighed and said:
“What a pity.”
“Those conservative Saints are almost all dead, otherwise I would definitely let them see this scene.”
“This ray of hope was fought for by the Saints who went to the Other Shore.”
Whispers of elements were injected into the crystal by Shen Ye.
The power of the “Mandala” chant was still continuously reconstructing this crystal!
Suddenly.
A dark shadow pierced through the void, falling from the sky.
The Modifier!
“Remarkable, to be able to block one of my strikes, but honestly, I only used eighty percent of my power.”
The Modifier’s entire body radiated even more terrifying power fluctuations.
“This is your privilege—”
“This next strike is with full power.”
No sooner had the words faded than the crystal in Shen Ye’s hand finally condensed completely.
