Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Chapter 407: Chapter 304: Men and Insects

“According to the ‘Classic of Mountains and Seas’: The Nine-tailed Fox resides in Qingqiu Country, has four feet and nine tails, its cry is like that of a baby, and it can devour humans.”

The youth finished saying these words.

A dense mystical fog began to emanate from the Giant, spreading out in all directions.

Strong winds howled off its body.

The wind did not disperse the fog.

It became more and more urgent, wandering back and forth in the void, seemingly searching for an enemy.

“I have no interest in your explanation, after all, you are about to die,”

the Giant said.

Yet the youth grinned, his eyes appearing somewhat manic.

“Actually, I don’t want to say all this crap either, but that kid made me clarify my identity as a ‘Nine Tail’ to save on expenses,”

the Giant looked slightly puzzled.

Save on expenses?

Why would explaining this cost money?

The youth shrugged and said:

“That kid is a bit quirky, I’d better repeat it to avoid any trouble.”

“As for now—”

“Bring out your bargaining chip, if it’s substantial enough, maybe I’ll consider betraying him.”

The Giant snorted coldly, and with one hand started a technique:

“Time’s up, you’re not qualified to trade, now go die.”

Behind him.

The wind pulled the fog, tracing a gigantic clock between heaven and earth.

—The Giant had been casting this instant-killing technique since just before.

“You will revert directly to an infant state, then get eaten by me.”

As these words were spoken.

The clock that spanned the skies burst forth with a deafening chime.

The youth raised his hand.

A crimson spinning pupil in his hand rotated with increasing speed.

Dharma Aspect, Destiny’s End.

“Let me teach you something—speaking insolently in front of a world-class being like me usually ends very badly,”

he said as he finished speaking.

Endless fog swathed him.

And the crimson pupil in his hand burned even brighter.

Dharma Aspect Transformation: Fate Disarray.

The scarlet light reflected on the swiftly moving fog, causing each bit of fog imbued with the Power of Time to change.

All force was transformed into Chaos.

Chaos is a collection of mighty powers, with the properties of time stripped away.

As time was lost.

Everything on the battlefield froze to a standstill.

—Unless time re-emerged, everything at this moment would be eternal.

However, the outcome had yet to be decided.

The youth had already disappeared from his original spot.

He flew in front of the Giant and lightly punched him on the cheek.

Boom—

The Giant’s cheek split open, his nose shattered to pieces, and his body was sent Soaring into the Clouds.

“See, I told you, not listening carefully to others can cause problems,”

the youth chuckled mischievously.

At this moment.

His gaze flickered, swiftly scrutinizing the void, observing everything that happened in the three worlds.

Incredible…

He managed to reach this stage.

Unbeaten even by the Time Law, he even began to explore the Great Tomb using his opponent’s laws.

Impressive.

The youth took a deep breath and said:

“Kid, your body is mine now. I’ll give you a chance, beg me earnestly.”

“Under my mercy, you must bring out something that truly moves me.”

“Otherwise I’ll just die here.”

“If I die, you die too.”

His voice changed, now in Shen Ye’s languid tone:

“Go ahead, shoot if you dare!”

“I don’t care if I die, it’s just a trip to Hell for me, but what about you? How long will it take for you to regain your current strength?”

The youth’s expression grew dark.

He pulled out a long Blood Spear, piercing his own heart with it in one swift motion.

“You’re dead,”

he said expressionlessly.

Then suddenly—

he burst into laughter, reverting to Shen Ye’s voice:

“Too slow! That’s way too slow!”

The Hongying Knife unsheathed from his side with a clear ring, settling into his hand.

“Hahahaha! Your spear technique is too mediocre, let me show you how it’s done!”

Shen Ye cut with a backhand strike.

The long knife was charged with full force, slashing towards the neck.

If this blade had struck true, his head would most certainly have been severed.

Without a head.

His life force would drop to zero.

The souls of one human and one bug would immediately be reporting to Hell.

However, the long blade stopped.

The blade’s edge rested on the skin of the neck, and fresh red blood slowly flowed down.

But the blade could not advance any further.

A single finger gently blocked the Hongying Knife.

The youth shouted harshly,

“You madman!”

Spurt—

The spear flew out from his heart, dissolving into nothingness.

The heart regenerated.

“Speak, what do you want?” Shen Ye said.@@novelbin@@

“…You’re still willing to trade with me?” the youth asked in surprise.

“Since you’ve initiated a trade, clearly there is something you desire. Tell me, perhaps we can complete the trade, otherwise—”

The long blade flashed, once again piercing through the chest.

“Self-mutilation like this is really quite pointless, isn’t it?”

Shen Ye said calmly.

“Stop!” the youth screamed, “Damn reptile, in my life I’ve roamed the universe without experiencing such torment. Don’t try it again, or I’ll really drag you down with me!”

Shen Ye smiled and indeed let go of the knife handle.

Understood.

This bug is afraid of pain.

Its life is far too precious, such a reaction isn’t surprising.

“So, tell me what you want.”

Shen Ye said.

The youth first pulled out the knife, then immediately completed the healing before speaking,

“I entered the Great Tomb to ask one thing.”

“If you can inquire about that matter for me, then, considering my goal would be achieved, I might reluctantly cooperate with you to some extent—it’s not impossible.”

“What do you want to ask?” Shen Ye asked.

“Being a king species, how to survive and reach the next Era.” The youth said.

Shen Ye was momentarily startled.

Such a being as a king species, yet still seeking advice on how to survive?

—How significant is the problem with this Era?

“Fine, if I get the chance, I’ll ask for you,” Shen Ye said.

The youth’s tone gradually became serious,

“If I were to be specific, the question would be this.”

“The Pecking Epoch has continued for thirty thousand years, king species are almost extinct, and as the strongest one, how do I endure the final madness of this Era?”

Shen Ye pondered.

—In fact, the question itself is a piece of intelligence.

This intelligence comes from a top-tier king species.

Incredibly valuable.

“Alright, if I’m able to continue exploring deeper into the Great Tomb and encounter an entity that can answer this question, I will definitely ask for you.”

Shen Ye opened his mouth and said.

“Words alone are no proof, let’s sign a contract,” the youth said.

“Let’s sign it!” Shen Ye said.

—Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong!

From somewhere, a series of solemn and reverent bell tolls sounded.

In the void.

Golden runes gathered one by one into two hands of a clock.

One pointed at Shen Ye.

The other still pointed at him.

“Dark Devourer, the enemy of all worlds, the darling and lord of the Universal Laws.”

“The human who overcame the Curse of the King of Ten Thousand Fallen Evil Spirits, the gatekeeper of nightmares and reality, Shen Ye.”

The hands and names continued to emit light, enduring for a few breaths before slowly fading away.

The contract was sealed!

The youth hooked the corner of his mouth and looked up at the sky,

“Great, I’ll help you reach the depths of the Great Tomb as soon as possible, but first—”

He drew two streaks of blood light from each hand, merging them together.

“You need a body of a world-class life form.”

“Why?” Shen Ye asked.

“Only a world is qualified to enter the depths of the Great Tomb; you must manipulate it like humans control Mobile Armored Suits.”

A sharp, gigantic tendril shot into the sky.

Destiny’s End · Banner of the Nest!

All the surrounding fog began to rapidly recede.

The Giant that was punched away and disappeared retraced its path back even faster.

Spurt.

It was skewered on the sharp tendril.

Yet its face still retained its original expression, as if completely unaware of everything.

“Hehe… worlds that only wield the Power of Laws, you are merely playthings before me…”

The youth revealed a mischievous smile.
