rain.

    Rain fell on the towering church, filled with holy light, making a soft “rustling” sound.

    The melodious bells rang continuously.

    Twelve chimes in total.

    Only when the bells stopped did two rows of angels quietly appear.

    They knelt on one knee, chanting spells, completing that obscure and lengthy incantation as if singing a hymn.

    Then, a streak of white light fell from the void,柔和地照耀着整个圣洁的世界.

    Then, a streak of white light fell from the void, softly illuminating the entire sacred world.

    “Lord.”

    The leading angel spoke:

    “Twelve chimes, surely a historical event has occurred, we humbly request you to bestow a divine oracle.”

    As the words fell.

    The white light quietly flew and merged into the angel’s body.

    In a short while.

    The angel opened its eyes, stood up, and looked at its colleagues.

    Greeting their expectant gazes, it spoke:

    “A power beyond fate has been born.”

    “What is it?” an angel asked.

    “‘Unknown’.”

    A look of disbelief appeared on the faces of the angels.

    Another angel couldn’t help but say:

    “Impossible, how could the Lord not know—”

    The leading angel interrupted it, saying, “It is according to the Lord’s decree; the Lord has designated it as ‘unknown,’ so no one will know what it is.”

    “—Until that power grows to shake the ten directions, only then will the Lord cease guarding and be willing to know it.”

    “Everyone, look forward to that moment.”

    ……

    On the other side.

    “Prisoner.”

    The moment these two words appeared, Shen Ye suddenly felt a shake in his body.

    —My phone?

    Shen Ye subconsciously patted Valhalla’s shoulder, said “block them,” and then pulled out his phone to unlock the screen.

    There was a message on the phone.

    The time displayed indicated it was sent half an hour ago.

    —But the phone only rang now.

    Shen Ye opened the message, only to find three small lines of text:

    “Congratulations on acquiring the strongest primary sequence ability. This is indeed one of the most powerful initial sequence abilities across all realms.”

    “This is the limit. Remember this, and congratulations once again.”

    “—’The Omniscient and Omnipotent Lord’.”

    Shen Ye paused for a moment.

    God does not do meaningless things.

    What was the message trying to tell him?

    He pondered in silence.

    Valhalla, however, had already stepped forward, raising both hands, a fierce glint in his eyes:

    “One by one, or all at once?”

    He stared at the strong beings in mid-air.

    Those strong beings did not attack for a moment, but exchanged glances, seemingly conveying some message.

    At this moment.

    Shen Ye’s lips curled into a slight smile.

    “Old man, if what you said is true…”

    He muttered softly.

    Indeed.

    “Prisoner” is the strongest initial ability.

    Even God reminded him that this was already the limit.

    But—

    As for himself, would he be willing to stop here?

    Aren’t limits meant to be broken?

    —Perhaps this was the meaning behind God’s message.

    He was telling himself—

    “The limit of all beings is here.”

    The word “limit” is very interesting.

    It represents a challenge.

    That is, transcendence.

    —His new power must surpass the “Prisoner” ability!

    Surpass it!!!

    Shen Ye’s gaze darted around, thoughts flashing ceaselessly in his mind, and suddenly a new idea emerged.

    “Fusion.”

    He said softly.

    He saw the glowing small characters refreshing line by line:

    “You used the term ‘Mandala Uroboros’ to merge your ability ‘Hot-Blooded Comrade’ into ‘Prisoner’.”

    The ability “Hot-Blooded Comrade” was too useful, making it the foundation for transcendence.

    And then—

    It was what he had always longed to achieve.

    The Dharma Aspect is a wondrous shadow.

    The Sequence is the Dao of all beings and myriad things.

    If they were to merge, could they surpass the previous “Prisoner”?

    Faint glowing words kept flashing:

    “You simultaneously merge the Dharma Aspect ‘Yin-Yang Diviner’ with this sequence ability.”

    “‘Hot-Blooded Comrade,’ ‘Yin-Yang Diviner,’ and ‘Prisoner’ have extremely high compatibility, resulting in an abnormal evolution.”

    “Congratulations.”

    “As the Lord of the Sequence, you have obtained a new wondrous sequence ability (Dharma Aspect):”

    “Gatekeeper’s Cage: Proxy Bone Temple.”

    “Sequence-type Dharma Aspect, an unprecedented emergence of a Dao shadow, a beginning power unknown to anyone.”

    “Description: 1. Those you defeat must fight for you; and your enemies must defeat your summoned creatures and destroy the entire cage before they can attack you.”

    “2. You and your prisoners can borrow each other’s abilities.”

    —Shen Ye transformed his sequence ability into a Dharma Aspect!

    He raised his hand, formed a mudra, and spoke:

    “We don’t need to destroy the ‘Ghost Society’ world.”

    The mudra was formed.

    The Dharma Aspect descended—

    Gatekeeper’s Cage: Proxy Bone Temple!

    Rumble rumble rumble!

    A colossal world suddenly appeared, enveloping everyone in an instant.

    This was the new Dharma Aspect, just completed its fusion!

    He saw that the boundless heavens and earth were all connected by bones, forming a giant cage standing in the dark void.

    Shen Ye held the spell with one hand and spoke:

    “Valhalla, go.”

    As the words fell.

    “The Omnipotent” Valhalla suddenly vanished, directly charging into mid-air to fight with the strong beings.

    At this moment.

    A bizarre monster suddenly appeared behind Shen Ye, opening its huge mouth full of sharp teeth to bite down on his head.

    But Shen Ye’s whole body glowed with brilliant flames, blocking the monster’s giant mouth.

    “Sorry.”

    “Until Valhalla is defeated, I cannot be attacked.”

    While Shen Ye was explaining, the opponent continuously released dozens of attack spells.

    —Unable to hit Shen Ye at all.

    “What kind of bizarre shadow is this?”

    The monster finally gave up, retreating while asking.

    “I won’t tell you,” Shen Ye said seriously.

    “Forget it—”

    The monster turned and left, preparing to attack Valhalla in mid-air.

    Poof.

    A muffled sound.

    It froze in place, slowly looking down.

    He saw a long blade piercing through his body, blood still dripping from the tip of the blade.

    “You…”

    “Ah, yes,” Shen Ye said apologetically, “Until Valhalla is defeated, you cannot attack me.”

    “—But I can attack you.”

    The long blade flashed.

    The bizarre monster’s body was cut in half.

    Clatter clatter—

    Various treasures on its body fell to the ground, emitting dazzling brilliance.

    Equipment dropped!

    Seven tenths of it disappeared immediately.

    The remaining three tenths slowly sank into the giant bone fragments scattered on the ground, collected by Shen Ye.

    He looked up at the fight in mid-air for a while.

    “Too strong…”

    “I completely don’t understand, hey, why don’t I understand?”

    He asked the monster’s body on the ground.

    “You are too weak.” The corpse replied.

    This answer is true.

    At Shen Ye’s level, ten thousand beings of his caliber, even if they gathered together and unleashed their full power, could not defeat Valhalla.

    “What you said is convincing.”

    Shen Ye said sincerely.

    Streams of attack spells rained down from the sky, booming as they struck the earth.

    But it was no use.

    Neither Shen Ye nor the earth could be harmed until “The Omnipotent” Valhalla was defeated.

    He even had time to wave to the sky:

    “I am truly weak, so I won’t spoil your fun.”

    A tremendous grinding sound of bones resonated.

    A building made entirely of various bones slowly rose from underground.

    Shen Ye walked in and sat down at the counter.

    Uncle Seven brought up a glass of iced orange juice and a bowl of braised beef noodles.

    “This is a great opportunity to learn, you should watch them fight—but I’m still very happy you’d rather come here to eat,” Uncle Seven said, rubbing his hands.

    “I have already defeated Valhalla, which exhausted all my strength, and now it’s time to relax.”

    Shen Ye took a sip of orange juice, then suddenly waved his hand.

    In an instant.

    The term “Meeting in Yao Terrace Under the Moonlight” was activated!

    Uncle Seven, along with all his prepared ingredients, pots, pans, and other items, vanished.

    Amidst a piercing wail—

    An incomparable spell descended from the sky, striking the breakfast shop.

    Shen Ye sat calmly within it.

    One breath.

    Two breaths.

    Three breaths.

    The power of the spell was exhausted.

    Shen Ye sighed and waved his hand again.

    Uncle Seven and all his belongings reappeared in the breakfast shop.

    “These are new varieties of chili peppers I specially grew. Would you like some?”

    “Thank you.”

    Shen Ye put the chili into the noodle bowl, then glanced at the void.

    Lines of faint glowing words kept popping up:

    “Valhalla used Absolute Disintegration.”

    “Valhalla used the fist technique: Collapse of the World.”

    “Your prisoner Valhalla was hit by the enemy’s combined spell ‘Super-large Emergent Full Manifestation Light’.”

    “…”

    These were all records of extremely fierce battles.

    But Shen Ye didn’t intend to read on.

    To defeat such an enemy, then surpass the limits, and frame such a Dharma Aspect sequence.

    Tired.

    More exhausting than going to work.

    Rest.

    Shen Ye slurped a mouthful of noodles, drank a sip of iced orange juice, and then ate a braised egg.

    Alas.

    How wonderful it would be if he could always live such a comfortable life.

    Suddenly.

    Lines of faint glowing words popped up:

    “The enemy used an ancient forbidden combined emergent technique to kill ‘The Omnipotent’ Valhalla.”

    “They paid for one of the rarest treasures from the ancient era.”

    “Now.”

    “You will face their attack!”

    Shen Ye glanced casually, continuing to eat his noodles.

    A person suddenly appeared behind him.

    That Black Man!

    “You lost,” the Black Man said, covered in blood and gasping for breath.

    “I know that bizarre creatures are extremely terrifying guys, and I didn’t expect to defeat you in one round,” Shen Ye said.

    “Now is your death,” said the Black Man.

    “No, now is my second round—”

    Shen Ye murmured:

    “Resurrect, my warrior.”

    Three more lines of faint glowing words popped up:

    “Your prisoner Valhalla has resurrected!”

    “The battle resumes!”

    “The enemy must defeat your prisoner before they can challenge you!”

    Boom—

    A afterimage flew out.

    The Black Man!

    He was sent flying by the resurrected Valhalla, a gaping bloody hole torn in his chest.

    Immediately after.

    Valhalla charged out.

    The next second.

    Shen Ye suddenly sensed some ineffable meaning.

    The entire world was enveloped by an unprecedented power, thus suppressing the original powers.

    The Black Man appeared before Shen Ye again.

    “Still alive—wow, why do you have so many heads?”

    Shen Ye picked at his noodles, eating and asking in surprise.

    The Black Man’s body was covered in heads, each one belonging to the powerful beings that had just appeared.

    It seemed.

    They had merged into one.

    “It’s over.”

    The Black Man gasped, “No matter what your bizarre power is, we’ve already detected that it’s just been born.”

    “Suppress it with all our true creations—”

    The spell in his hand abruptly activated.

    A colossal phantom unfurled from behind him, transforming into an eye with twelve unique runes.

    Combined bizarre shadow—

    Dharma Aspect: True Eye of Law Stealing!

    “A powerful combined bizarre force can designate a power to be suppressed!”

    Shen Ye looked at this line of text.

    The next instant.

    He felt that suppression.

    “You can attack me directly now?”

    He asked in surprise.

    The Black Man, however, was no longer in a hurry.

    He drew a long spear emanating a faint mist, and walked towards Shen Ye step by step, gasping for breath, saying:

    “State your name; we don’t kill nameless individuals.”

    “Baxter.” Shen Ye said cheerfully.

    The Black Man said solemnly:

    “Baxter, you possess a terrifying bizarre shadow—”

    “But fortunately, we’ve discovered you and can directly strangle you while your power is still weak.”

    “—We will absolutely not allow someone like you to grow!”

    Shen Ye glanced at the void.

    Indeed.

    They had truly suppressed the rule that “one must first defeat the prisoner before being able to attack the spellcaster.”

    Truly incredible.

    Throughout history, countless powerful bizarre existences have emerged.

    He must not be careless.

    “Amazing, even ‘The Omnipotent’ Valhalla is no match for you, and you can even bypass him to fight me directly.”

    Shen Ye said sincerely.

    “Die.” The Black Man uttered a single word.

    The spear thrusted forward.

    Shen Ye, however, reached out and pressed the tip of the spear.

    A moment of dead silence.

    “Impossible! Your strength lies in that strange shadow, your true body is very weak!”

    The Black Man gasped.

    “You’re right,” Shen Ye said.

    Lines of faint glowing words appeared before him:

    “You and your prisoner can borrow each other’s abilities.”

    “You borrowed Valhalla’s ‘Omnipotent’ term, achieving the emergent power of ‘being able to resist all attacks’.”

    “You began to borrow his strength.”

    The long blade was drawn out.

    Shen Ye held the spear tip in the Black Man’s hand with one hand, and raised the long blade high with the other.

    This time.

    To make his attack worthy of Valhalla’s power—

    He used the term “Sacred Chants Diva” and began to elevate the emergent blade technique “Three Spring Warmths” by two levels.

    “Stop it!” the Black Man roared.

    Before Shen Ye’s long blade could strike, it suddenly gathered all its power and exploded, tearing open a hole in the void.

    The Black Man instantly transformed into seven or eight afterimages and drilled into that hole.

    —He escaped!

    One should say—

    The strong beings forming the united front had fled from Shen Ye’s Dharma Aspect.

    Shen Ye’s blade stopped.

    “Should I pursue them?” Valhalla asked.

    “No need,” Shen Ye said.

    “When did you become so timid? And you defeated me?” Valhalla sneered.

    Shen Ye couldn’t help but laugh, and said, “Don’t provoke me, I won’t go after them and simultaneously initiate war with seven historical fragment worlds.”

    “—I’m not that arrogant.”

    He sheathed his blade, walked back to the dining table, sat down, and continued eating his noodles.

    A bowl of beef noodles, eaten clean.

    The iced orange juice was also finished.

    He also ate two nougat candies.

    “Thank you for the meal, it was delicious.” Shen Ye said sincerely.

    “That’s good.” Uncle Seven said with a smile.

    “Hey, what now, aren’t we escaping? There are a lot of enemies out there,” the Ship of Chaos couldn’t help but say.

    Shen Ye did not reply.

    Suddenly—

    Only a “clunk” sound was heard, and two lines of small characters appeared above Shen Ye’s head:

    “Baxter, alone against seven, defeated the combined forces of seven wondrous beings, and with the power of this battle, your reputation soared.”

    “The term ‘Mandala Uroboros’ is about to upgrade.”
