Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 682

“You have obtained a future entry:”

“Most Sacred.”

“Future entry, entropy annihilation power.”

“Description: At the beginning of every new hour, you can designate an ability and enhance it according to your vision, temporarily reaching SSS-level for 30 seconds.”

“—Break free from the cage, the future is now.”

All the small text remained before Shen Ye’s eyes.

At this moment.

Behind the distorted sanctuary’s judge on the opposite side, layers of strange, shifting shadows appeared—

The inheritor of the Entropy Crown, the emerging pinnacle of distortion, the incomparable autocratic ruler, was slowly manifesting from the void.

Should I fight?

She should be an S-level existence!

If I use the 30-second SSS-level ability, I might have a chance to win.

But everything here would be completely destroyed.

Sabi wouldn’t be able to save all the nature guardians.

Everything that has happened would be impacted, and spacetime would inevitably split in two, creating parallel worlds.

Only 30 seconds!

What about the gains?

No gains!

In an instant.

Shen Ye’s hand seals converged, and a Dharma Aspect immediately formed.

—Jailer’s Cage · Demon Subjugation Ritual!

Shen Ye’s power level was at the upper B-class.

However.

This time, the effect of the entry was attached to the Dharma Aspect, elevating it to SSS-level.

Rumble Rumble—

Countless white bones emerged from the ground, growing continuously, intertwined with each other, forming a majestic building exuding an aura of solemnity.

“Such power… it’s strong enough, but what if there’s not enough time?”

Seventh Uncle said anxiously.

“It’s fine,” Shen Ye said calmly, “This Dharma Aspect was ‘enhanced according to my vision,’ so delaying for a bit is no problem.”

As his voice fell.

He suddenly vanished from where he stood.

But bone blades appeared from the void, densely covering the entire bone palace, striking powerfully towards Mi.

“What kind of power is this?” Mi said in surprise.

The massive, bizarre shadow behind her let out a sneer and gently lowered a giant hand, blocking all her attacks.

“So weak… this isn’t a bizarre shadow at all, isn’t this sword art?” Mi judged.

There was even a hint of disappointment in her expression.

From the beginning until now, all the opponent’s judgments and choices were without fault.

—Truly a clear-headed and calm enemy.

But—

His bizarre shadow was too weak.

It had no attack power whatsoever.

As a weakling, no matter how talented, she couldn’t bring herself to like him.

Like…

Mi’s heart stirred, and an irrepressible emotion surged within her.

“Too weak,” the Lord of Distortion’s voice boomed. “Before others arrive, I can just grab you and find out what happened between you and Hera!”

A giant fist extended into the bone palace, destroying everything.

However—

The vast complex of palaces could not be completely destroyed with a single move.

“A boring bizarre manifestation of architecture, I see no value in its existence, it is your tomb!”

The giant protected Mi with one hand and threw energy orbs forward with the other.

Before these energy orbs, the bone palace was continuously destroyed, and everything in its path turned into flying debris, scattering onto the ground.

The giant and Mi continued forward.

Suddenly.

The giant stood still and said:

“30 seconds are up.”

Yes.

It had long seen that this bizarre shadow could only exist for 30 seconds!

But a few moments later—

The bone palace was still the bone palace.

The entire bizarre shadow had not disappeared.

It even looked brand new, with all previously damaged areas completely restored.

“So that’s how it is…”

The giant mumbled.

“Master, what exactly is going on?” Mi couldn’t help but ask.

“A brilliant idea—his bizarre shadow can only exist for 30 seconds, so he fixed the time at ’30 seconds’.” The giant said.

“I don’t understand,” Mi shook her head.

“That is to say, his bizarre shadow eternally exists within the ’30-second range starting from just now’.”

The giant patiently explained.

The Lord of Distortion raised his hand, pointing at the void, and said:

“We are eternally trapped in these 30 seconds.”

“And the flow of time outside is different from here; time outside is still moving forward.”

“Ridiculous,” Mi said, “He thinks he can defeat you that way? It’s simply wishful thinking.”

“You’re right.”

The giant sneered, reaching into the void and grabbing a spear of light.

“One move is enough to completely destroy the entire palace.”

“—Within these 30 seconds, I can kill him directly!”

The spear was hurled with immense force.

Boom—

Everything in its path was utterly destroyed.

The spear flew deep into the bone palace.

It destroyed all structures.

Until finally—

It was a grand hall with a bone throne.

The spear of light landed on the magnificent red carpet, deeply impaling it, ready to unleash terrifying power at any moment.

“Get out and die.”

The giant’s low voice echoed throughout the palace.

But there was no response.

Instead, in the depths of the hall, on the bone throne radiating solemnity and gloom, stood a small sign:

“The Demon King is not home, out on business. For urgent matters, please contact 188XXXXXX.”

The giant looked at the sign.

Mi looked at the sign.

He’s not home…

The next moment.

The entire bone palace was restored again.

“This is pointless, my next attack will utterly destroy everything here.”

The giant’s indifferent voice echoed among the bones.

Mi stared blankly at the constantly appearing bone blades.

Simply amazing.

So his purpose was to trap his master?

Though not for long—

But he must have some goal.

A plan, a strategy, and a purpose that she didn’t know!

Such a person…

Perhaps he could accomplish great things in this era!

Mi looked at the flying bone blades, a thought suddenly blossoming in her mind.

…

Shen Ye returned to the sacred tower.

“The Dharma Aspect won’t hold them for long.”

Seventh Uncle’s voice echoed in his ear.

“But their destruction will make them lose vitality—this is SSS-level, we’ll gain a lot,” Shen Ye said.

He checked the time.

The delay was almost over.

At this moment.

He ran into Lu Man head-on.

Why hasn’t Sabi—

“My lord!”

An excited voice came.

A figure appeared outside the window.

It was the deer-headed man—Sabi!

“Have you collected your clansmen’s bodies?” Shen Ye asked.

“Indeed!”

Sabi bowed deeply, rotated his storage ring, and laid the bodies on the ground one by one.

“Do you have somewhere to go?”

Shen Ye said, while casting resurrection spells.

One by one, the deer-headed people opened their eyes.

“We still have a historical fragment we can go to—it’s relatively weak, and normally we wouldn’t want to stay there.”

“But there’s no other choice now.”

Sabi said.

“Go, just survive for now,” Shen Ye said.

“Yes, my lord!”

A few minutes later.

All the nature guardians left.

Shen Ye looked down at the sacred tower beneath his feet.

The plan was going smoothly—

When this fake tower was destroyed, there was no unusual phenomenon like when the real tower was destroyed, and the birth of the future entry was concealed.

Shen Ye didn’t intend to keep this secret entirely.

Throughout history.

Countless heroes.

Countless terrifying and powerful monsters.

They would eventually discover the method to obtain future entries.

But!

Right now!

While no one had discovered this yet.

He needed to gain a head start!

“Here, take this.”

Seventh Uncle’s voice rang out.

A blood-red ring appeared on Shen Ye’s hand.

“The life force they expended to destroy the bone palace manifested as this ring.”

“All the damage you take will be absorbed by it.”

“When the red on the ring completely disappears, it means my collected life force is used up.”

“Only then will you get hurt.”

Seventh Uncle explained.

“Good stuff,” Shen Ye said.

He put on the ring.

The Dharma Aspect’s power would last a little longer.

Before the monsters could break free—

He had to make a run for it!

Shen Ye raised his hand and said in a low voice:

“Door!”

A door quietly appeared.

—It was time to go to the other side.

At least there, the Lord of Distortion couldn’t descend.

Shen Ye was about to walk in.

But a figure draped in a black veil suddenly appeared.

Mi!

“Wait a moment.”

Mi spoke.

Shen Ye paused, actually stopping in his tracks for a moment.

The timing was off.

—The opponent came out a bit too early.

“Madam Judge, as my Dharma Aspect demonstrated, I don’t want to fight you right now—farewell,” Shen Ye said.

“It’s not about that,” Mi said.

Shen Ye became puzzled.

“Then what else do you want?” he asked.

Mi extended her hand, lightly plucking something from the void, and a white rose instantly appeared between her fingers.

“This is for you.”

Mi gently tossed it.

The white rose flew a distance and landed on the long blade Shen Ye had extended.

Shen Ye looked closely.

It was just a white rose.

Nothing else.

“What do you mean?” Shen Ye asked in surprise.

“Hera suddenly becoming an S-level powerhouse has already caused a sensation, and now you have released S-level power, which will inevitably attract more investigations.”

Mi said.

Shen Ye nodded.

—She’s right.

For her to remind him like this, there must be something else she wanted to say.

“So what you really want to say is?”

Shen Ye asked.

“Look,” Mi said softly.

She lowered her head and glanced at her hand.

Shen Ye followed her gaze and was stunned.

The judge’s left hand had her little finger and ring finger severed.

—It was the “full-screen” Exorcism Blade Art he had hidden within his Dharma Aspect!

“The blade art is formidable and cannot be healed immediately.”

Mi said.

“Yes, this blade art contains destructive flames and the power of a long blade. You’ll need some time to recover,” Shen Ye said.

“So, do you understand?” Mi asked.

“You want revenge?”

Shen Ye retorted.

“I mean, my hand is injured, and I won’t be able to perform hand seals and summon the Master for a while,” Mi said.

“I see, you hate me,” Shen Ye understood.

—An existence capable of summoning the Lord of Distortion, suddenly losing this ability, is equivalent to losing authority within the Distorted Sanctuary.

Mi didn’t speak.

She stared blankly for a while, then said:

“Be careful, and don’t die.”

“I’ll be waiting for you to come and kill me,” Shen Ye said.

“…So be it,” Mi said.

As her voice fell.

She retreated backwards, disappearing into the void.

—She was gone.

Only Shen Ye remained.

Something’s wrong!

What did that woman want to say?

Shen Ye clenched the white rose in his hand, unable to guess the metaphorical meaning the other party intended to convey with this flower.

“Roses represent love, and white represents purity.”

Seventh Uncle said.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but laugh.

“Seventh Uncle,” he shook his head, “She’s not an ordinary human, and in a situation where we’re enemies, she certainly wouldn’t make such an absurd hint.”

“—You can’t judge such people by worldly etiquette.”

Seventh Uncle said, “But the way she looked at you was very gentle.”

“…I also look at cooked instant noodles very gently; you can observe it next time,” Shen Ye said.

He no longer lingered, pushed open the door, and walked in.

The next second.

He returned to the other side.

—That boundless grassland.

Someone was already waiting for him there.

Hera!

A single character “胜” (Victory) floated above her head.

“Shen Ye, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Hera said.

“Something wrong?” Shen Ye asked.

“Hand over the entry above your head—you promised, the future entry belongs to me,” Hera said.
