Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

In the midst of a blood-soaked battlefield.

Suddenly, Shen Ye had a premonition and looked down at his arm.

He saw the iron chains wound around his arm quickly loosen and fall to the ground with a clang.

The contract...

Had it been dissolved?

The next second.

The three-meter-tall black woman reappeared.

She took Lily away in her arms and appeared again empty-handed.

"Child, what is your name."

"Ye," Shen Ye replied.

"Ye, I understand you now. You're capable of summoning such divine spirits; your talent is truly unsurpassable. I must protect you."

From her black physique, fourteen hands stretched out, swiftly forming seven spell seals before looking towards Shen Ye.

"The problem is serious."

"The divine spirit has fully revealed its true form, beyond my expectations, but fortunately, we have this technique."

"This is..." Shen Ye watched the seven continuous spell seals she executed.

These were seven techniques!

Using seven techniques at the same time, does such a thing exist in the world?

As though understanding his confusion, the woman quickly said:

"The first four techniques are the Four Saints Liberation Seal Spells of earth, water, fire, and wind; the fifth is the Self-Verification Spell of internal and external separation; the sixth is the Descent Secret Seal; the seventh is the Tracking Shadow Snatch Spell."

"We will use the seventh technique to observe where she has fled and can immediately teleport there."

"As for the first six techniques—"

"Once the six techniques are successful, the slumbering Monarch will separate a thread of consciousness from the dream realm and descend upon this place, guiding his protector to crush those who harbour malicious intent."

"—even if the opponent is an incarnation of the will of the world."

"You don't need to think about anything—"

"The dream realm is upon us!"

It seemed as if there were a subtle movement of airflow in the void.

On the quiet, flesh-strewn ground, the scattered, broken insect corpses began to sink into the ground and vanish without a trace.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Tentacles emerged silently from the ground and swiftly pierced into Shen Ye's back, raising him into midair.

Strength!

Infinite cosmic power infused his physique!

A faint light emerged as small text:

"You have accepted the bloodline activation technique of the king species secret transmission."

"Since you have already received the blood of the king species and stripped away all power, the bloodline has merged, and this time the body has further adapted."

"You might as well call this body the juvenile form of the king species."

Boom—

The void ripped open.

A cluster of light and shadow emerged in midair, revealing the figure of Lily.

Tracking Shadow Snatch Spell!

No matter where Lily fled to, her shadow would be revealed here.

She was seen dashing through the tunnels at high speed.

Ahead—

The interlacing tunnels brought a sense of familiarity.

Ahead was Lake Heart Island!

A scene suddenly flashed through Shen Ye's mind.

When Lily had executed her technique earlier, one of her hands had lost three fingers.

Could it be—

Xiao Mengyu!

"Faster, I must go and kill it, please, go faster!" Discover hidden tales at empire

He said to the three-meter-tall woman.

Before he finished speaking.

All of the tentacles emitted light simultaneously, like blazing wings of light unfolding behind him.

Shen Ye looked towards the flickering scene in midair.

Lily had already burst out of the tunnel, falling onto the surface of the underground lake.

Quickly.

There could be no more delays!

Accompanied by such thoughts, all the scenes suddenly dissipated from his sight.

Darkness.

An endless dark cosmos enveloped Shen Ye.

The cosmic giant insect loomed over a planet.

Its form was not smaller than the planet itself, instilling awe and fear at a glance.

The giant insect slowly moved its head, gazing at Shen Ye.

"Come."

A thought emerged in Shen Ye's mind.

Then his body, out of control, swiftly flew towards the cosmic giant insect.

In an instant.

He was in front of the giant insect.

The colossal form of the cosmic giant insect slowly opened its mouth and swallowed him whole.

Within the body of the cosmic giant insect, boundless darkness surged, and suddenly a small flickering light with faint text emerged:

"You have earned recognition."

"You will now gain the Swarm entry."

"Based on the battle results, a Dharma Realm evaluation will emerge."

"Begin!"

A strange sensation suddenly arose in Shen Ye's heart.

From all directions.

It was as if endless waves came surging, completely submerging him.

In the blur—

A magnificent hall made entirely of stars appeared in his consciousness.

At the depths of this hall, a human figure floated.

He seemed to be in a deep slumber.

Yet from his being emanated a majestic voice:

"It's rare for food to come knocking at my door, I shall borrow your body for a while..."

"Don't worry, I am fair in my rewards and punishments."

...

Elsewhere.

Lake Heart Island had vanished.

The students were all hiding under an inclined rock wall.

Nangong Sirui was dressing a wound.

Xiao Mengyu stood guard with her sword.

When Lily arrived there, she immediately looked towards the students.

She burst into laughter:

"Killing you guys should make him sad."

"Perfect to fulfill my promise with it—and you, little girl, you cut off my fingers, now I shall repay you a hundredfold."

"Just one move will do!"

She raised her hand as a few fingers formed a spell seal.

In a flash.

A sharp light wheel, dozens of feet long, appeared in front of Xiao Mengyu.

The speed of this light wheel was so fast—

She didn't even have time to react and was about to be cut in half at the waist!

Nangong Sirui wanted to do something but found himself immobilized by some spell, unable to move an inch.

At the moment of death—

A hand reached out from the void and grasped the sharp wheel of light.

That hand gently clenched.

Crack.

The dozens of meters long wheel of sharp light broke inch by inch, extinguishing in the darkness.

Lilias reacted extremely quickly, pulling away to flee.

But no sooner had she flown out than she was caught up with by the figure, who punched her into the ground.

The entire underground waterway emitted a roaring sound.

The ground shook incessantly.

It seemed as if the entire Great Tomb might completely collapse under this punch.

"Shen Ye!"

Guo Yunye cried out in disbelief.

Everyone looked intently and indeed saw that the figure was Shen Ye.

Only he looked somewhat different from usual.

Behind him, there were eight scorpion-tail-like long tails, their tips sharp as poison stingers.

His body was covered in insect scales, naturally etched with Cosmic Origin Force runes.

However.

His face was filled with boredom, as if he was not interested in the situation before him.

Everyone felt a surge of doubt in their hearts.

—Was this really Shen Ye?

But then they saw him staring at the collapsed hole below, saying:

"Stop hiding, the space is sealed, you can't possibly escape."

After waiting for a moment.

Another figure soared into the sky.

Lilias!

Now, she looked different from before as well.

All over her body emerged slender tattoos gleaming with light, and behind her, a total of five wheels of dense runes revolved slowly.

"Heh, Shen Ye, I truly underestimated you," Lilias said.

Her hands continuously formed Spell Seals, preparing for the fight.

"I originally wanted to play with you slowly, because my plan is, after all, too grand, merely needing to constantly resurrect, I could walk to the very end."

Lilias spoke.

She went on uncontrollably, "The Chaos Spirit Light is very powerful, and I don't want to anger it, and your world also lurks with other dangerous fellows, what to do?"

"It's better to follow you, entering this Great Tomb, slowly investigating."

At this point—

Her expression struggled for a while, then suddenly burst into a piercing scream.

In the surrounding void, the dense insect chirping dissipated.

Some unknown Technique had been broken!

"You're not Shen Ye, who are you!" Lilias asked, her gaze flashing with panic as she gasped for breath.

Shen Ye cracked a smile and asked:

"And who are you?"

"Let me reintroduce myself, I am the strongest in the 'Demon Prison' world, and I am also the incarnation of the 'Demon Prison' world's will," Lilias said.

She casually flicked her fingers.

Dense blood glows sliced through space, cutting everything in their path, flesh and earth alike, all landing on Shen Ye.

Shen Ye remained unmoved.

One of his hands was in his pocket, and the other hand was raised, blocking all attacks.

"I'm very reasonable in my dreams, how do you want to die?" he asked.

Lilias's expression became even more solemn.

The opponent had blocked her attacks with just one hand, and without a single scratch.

"Death is of no use to me, I possess the Technique of endless resurrection origins."

Lilias finished speaking involuntarily, her expression suddenly annoyed.

She suddenly waved a Spell Seal toward the void above.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wailing Spirit King - Delusion Breaking Divine Seal!

This Spell Seal, like flowing water, swept across the entire void and even the underground passage, causing the void to echo with a tidal surging sound.

Shen Ye had been listless, but his eyes finally lit up at this move.

"Oh? You've broken my Mimicry..."

"I didn't expect you to have such strength, it seems you do have some nutritional value."

He sized up Lily again.

With a cold snort brimming with fighting spirit, Lily said:

"I'm not an idiot. Since a moment ago, endless illusions have been attacking me, but from now on, this technique—"

Her voice suddenly cut off.

The rock walls around them, the tunnels, and the rivers above were crawling with endless insects!

These bugs were bizarre in shape; some were already dead, some were just empty shells, but there were also some that were alive!

Carapaces of insects were scattered above their heads and all around them.

They were constantly chirping, forming various irresistible Techniques with their cries.

—The opponent had laid a Tian Luo Net long ago!

Because of "Mimicry's" existence, no one noticed this at all.

"Who... who exactly are you?"

Lily asked with a trembling voice.

She had figured it out.

She didn't want to admit it.

Suddenly, Shen Ye appeared in front of her and swung a punch.

Lily was sent flying.

But she had only flown a few meters when she was caught up with, and someone grabbed her by the throat.

Lily immediately countered with an elbow strike.

Snap.

The tip of her elbow was blocked by another hand of Shen Ye.

"Using such a dangerous move, are you trying to resist your fate?" Shen Ye said calmly.

Lily swung her leg with all her might.

Shen Ye retracted one hand like a bolt of lightning, clenched it into a fist, and met her chopping strike head-on.

Thud.

Blood splattered.

Just one punch.

The two ends of Lily's knee were bent at a comical angle.

"Fragile... yet rich in nutrients."

Shen Ye commented lazily.

Lily seemed to realize something, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she screamed out:

"You are—"

A slap came her way, directly breaking her neck and contorting her face to the back.

"Quiet, I'm still sleeping," Shen Ye said.

The classmates in the distance were all stunned.

"It's Shen Ye; truly impressive!" Guo Yunye said with certainty.

The others, however, shook their heads in unison.

Lily raised her trembling hands, trying to form a Spell Seal, but a shadowy afterimage directly severed them.

Behind Shen Ye, from his eight long tails, one made entirely of Bone Blades swung back and forth, its sharp end piercing through a pair of hands about to complete the Seal.

Blood.

Spouting, spraying, scattering.

Lily let out a piercing scream.

The emotionless voice of Shen Ye rose above any sound she could make:

"Enough."

"—To use Techniques and Dharma Aspects in such a level of combat is an insult to me."

Locking his grip on Lily's head, Shen Ye's physique flashed, and he disappeared from everyone's sight.
