Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Lotus blossoms bloom one after another, their leaves swaying with the wind.

In the darkness.

The Power of Truth permeates the void, manifesting into light with the blooming of the lotus flowers.

This light scatters into countless particles, dispersing with the wind.

The Duke of Destruction casually points a finger.

Black lightning condenses into a giant axe hundreds of meters long, chopping towards Shen Ye and his Dharma Aspect.

But the situation seems to turn a bit bizarre.

—The moment the giant axe comes into contact with those light particles, it divides into three, then into nine, then eighty-one, continuously dispersing and opening.

The power of the giant axe is scattered with it.

It first splits into three parts, gathering on three giant axes, then divides again, continually splitting as the number of giant axes increases.

In the end, each giant axe's power becomes so weak it's almost imperceptible, losing its original strength.

The Duke of Destruction hesitates slightly, then smiles and says:

"Brother Shen, this is the first time I've seen such an original defense technique."

"I seemed to have underestimated you earlier."

But Shen Ye looks serious, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

With the unfolding of this "One Breath to Three Pure Ones" Dharma Aspect, he enters an incredibly crucial stage.

As if—

Something extremely secretive is coming from the depths of the Truth Void.

It will not descend personally.

But through resonance, it will let itself be known.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And precisely because of the formidable enemy before them, the Parasitic Empress has to cooperate wholeheartedly with Charlotte to assist him, revealing this secret!

However—

The Duke of Destruction is right opposite.

And the resonance deep within his soul has already begun.

He cannot even move, cannot perform techniques, otherwise—

This resonance will be immediately interrupted.

"Duke, I have many means, that ship has been attacked by me many times, that's why it hates me so much."

Shen Ye said in a relaxed tone.

This is a lie.

In such a level of engagement, lies should have no effect.

Because as the exchange continues, lies will soon be exposed.

Shen Ye said this just for this moment—

To buy a little bit of time!

As the words fell.

The other two Shen Yes hidden deep within the Dharma Aspect open their eyes.

To protect himself, he has to have the other two Shen Yes on standby at all times!

Meanwhile.

The Duke of Destruction, hearing Shen Ye's words, slightly tenses his expression, muttering softly:

"Brother Shen, I underestimated you."

"In the next battle, I will give my all, only then can I slightly alleviate the guilt in my heart."

"—How ridiculous, since when did I start underestimating my enemies?"

He raises his hand just about to cast a technique, but Shen Ye immediately interjects:

"To become a duke under the Destruction Tribulation, you must have gone through many extremely difficult battles, right?"

"I guess to have come this far, you must have defeated many powerful enemies."

"—Perhaps even other Destruction Servants would immediately start trembling upon hearing your name."

The Duke of Destruction's hand stays suspended in midair, for the moment he doesn't cast the technique.

"Indeed..."

He reveals a look of reminiscence, with a hint of pride.

Seeing this, Shen Ye secretly breathes a sigh of relief, continuing to feel that resonance.

—This was actually a rhetoric he often used in his social days.

Some bigwigs, leaders—

These people, when receiving just the right amount of flattery, can't resist sharing their glorious past.

People are not reluctant to share their success stories with a little character.

It shows their approachability and also their strength.

Why not?

—This is a universally applicable principle.

The Duke of Destruction is a shrewd character, but at this moment in battle, neither side was continuing to attack, speaking a few words wouldn't affect the entire battle situation.

If such an influence existed—

Someone of his caliber would immediately notice it.

Therefore, he continues without concern:

"Back in those days, I hardly had any subordinates, fighting in extremely harsh environments, sometimes even unable to eat..."

Shen Ye shows a look of focus, as if listening.

Time slowly passes.

The resonance from the distant void gradually forms a special message transmission within his soul.

A moment of enlightenment emerges in Shen Ye's mind.

That was the initial cause of the birth of the Truth Void—

At first.

The void had nothing.

But in the boundless worlds, the Destruction Tribulation appeared.

It swept through one world after another, destroying all civilizations, burying all sentient beings and all things.

Such times lasted for billions of years.

The worlds destroyed were countless, the lives killed immeasurable.

However, the reason worlds were born, the reason beings could generate civilization, was because of the source that creates all things—

Regardless of birth or death, it all stems from "Truth".

So when those worlds all perished, "Truth" withdrew from the worlds.

World after world, their "Truth" withdrew, fled, finally gathering in the void.

Likely attributes gradually fused.

Billions of years passed.

These truths formed the "Truth Creation".

And since these truths were extracted from endless destroyed worlds, born amidst destruction, they were also called "Ultimate Creation".

There were twenty-one such creations in total.

They either slumbered or awoke, constantly emitting collective power to reshape the void amid time's length.

—They've always been deducing methods to counter destruction.

Finally.

With the collective power of these twenty-one Ultimate Creations, the void produced a type of special power unseen in other worlds:
