Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

The golden-haired man looked down.

At some point.

A heavy shackle appeared on his legs.

Countless threads crawled up his back, attempting to penetrate his body.

"Useless, your strength is lacking, you cannot suppress me."

He said coldly.

Sparks of golden light exploded like thunder in the void.

Uncle Qi, the Ship of Destruction, and countless threads and shackles were all blown backward.

The golden-haired man stood his ground, holding a long whip, which shimmered with faint golden light every interval, filled with an incomprehensible power.

At the same time.

On the other side.

On the cage arena.

"We made contact with him!"

The voice of the Parasitic Empress Su Su suddenly rang out.

She descended from the void and quickly said, "They covered me to get close, and I transformed into one of Annie's puppet threads and touched that guy."

"What did you find?" the youth Shen Ye asked.

"His armor is too strong; I cannot parasitize it, but I discovered a tag on him and a thought."

"The tag is—"

"Unknown Mist Walker."

"The tag's effect is:

"All moves and powers are hidden, even when using various moves in battle, they will appear as completely different types of forces and moves."

Shen Ye thought for a moment and said in surprise:

"In that case, no one knows his true nature."

Su Su nodded and said, "We all thought he was good at fist attacks, but that fist might actually be a pair of daggers, or some other force—no one can figure out his details."

"So all the information about him is fake; no one can get real intelligence." Shen Ye said.

"Even scarier is that this tag has a dual effect, including a second layer of effect." Su Su said.

"Another effect?" Shen Ye said in surprise.

"Yes, Shen Ye, you must be careful, or you won't know how you died."

Without waiting for Shen Ye to ask, she revealed the intelligence of that power:

"To hide everything he has done, not letting other existences know even a bit."

Shen Ye was stunned.

This ability...

Seems somewhat similar to his Heavenly Slash.

But this ability focuses more on protecting privacy.

—Indeed, it's tricky!

Su Su continued to say:

"He has a thought, which is to figure out the mechanism of your slash."

"—He thinks that slash poses a threat."

"To understand the power of this slash, he is determined to kill you, to prevent your slash from becoming stronger in the future!"

Shen Ye sat cross-legged, squinting his eyes and said:

"He is afraid of dying from this slash."

"Yes." Su Su said.

"But he doesn't know one thing." Shen Ye said.

"What?" Su Su asked.

"I'm more afraid of death than he is." Shen Ye said.

As they spoke.

Black Flame City.

The large-scale teleportation has been completed.

The young Shen Ye appeared in the monster horde of the D-world as a member of the Suicide Squad.

"That tag is really troublesome..."

He drew out his long sword, instantly unleashing all his strength, slashing back and forth in the monster horde.

—Time Slash!

One by one, the monsters struck disappeared from the void, their whereabouts unknown.

The young Shen Ye vanished along with them.

But his sword was left behind.

A Good Duck picked up the long sword and continued the battle, charging into the enemy ranks.

As for the young Shen Ye—

In the Dharma Aspect.

The Ship of Destruction, Uncle Qi, and Annie had all retreated.

"We cannot stop you, but obtaining the power of the Gatekeeper is not so easy either!"

The unwilling voice of the Ship of Destruction echoed in the void.

The golden-haired man was indifferent, even showing a mocking smile.

"I am a kingly figure who has slain through hundreds of worlds, experienced countless battles, and heard such words too many times—"

"My ears have grown calluses."

He flew toward the towering mountain ahead.

Augustus closely followed.

The two landed at the foot of the mountain.

"Master, this is the place."

Augustus said respectfully.

The golden-haired man looked in the direction he pointed, and saw someone crushed in the crevice of the rocky foot of the mountain.

A young man.

"Is he the Gatekeeper?"

the golden-haired man asked.

"Indeed," said Augustus.

"Why is he trapped here?" the golden-haired man asked.

"Because he can open the barrier, allowing other entities to enter and exit the Truth World at will, so he has been suppressed by the truth creatures here for five hundred years," said Augustus.

At this moment.

Shen Ye had already noticed them.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

he asked loudly.

The golden-haired man stepped forward, squatted down, and looked at him, saying, "Can you take me to the Truth World?"

Shen Ye snorted coldly and said, "Join the Destruction Tribulation, it has a planet in the Truth World. If you want to go, you can teleport there directly."

"But I do not wish to join Destruction," the golden-haired man said.

"Well, I can also take you back, but you must rescue me," Shen Ye said.

"That can be arranged," the golden-haired man said as he stood up, placed his hand on the mountain wall, and pushed with force!

Rumbling——

The mountain was pushed open by him.

"..." Shen Ye.

Lines of small glowing text appeared before his eyes:

"The power of moving the mountain has been absorbed by 'Mandala Uroboros.' If you wish to continue enhancing your strength, allow the enemy to continue releasing his power for you to absorb."

Gained strength!

Shen Ye gladly climbed up from the ground and gestured for the two to follow him:

"Thank you for saving my life, let's go—once I retrieve my strength, I can open the door at the end of this bizarre world and we can leave."

"Retrieve your strength?" the golden-haired man asked.

"Yes—my gate power has been divided into many pieces, guarded by the truth world monsters. I need to defeat them to retrieve it," Shen Ye said, making it up as he went along.

But his words carried a Journey to the West aura, making people feel as if he really understood and was skilled at this.

"That sounds doable, take me to the location of your power's seal," the golden-haired man said.

"Really?" Shen Ye asked incredulously.

"Of course, I need your gate power—let's move, don't waste time," the golden-haired man said.

"Yes, master!" Shen Ye saluted.

He led the two around to the back of the mountain.

At this moment.

The first batch of monsters sent by the sword techniques had arrived.

They had been replaced with human bodies, not realizing and still unleashing their full powers, attacking the whole world.

"Is this it?"

The golden-haired man sneered and casually waved his hand.

The monsters unleashed all sorts of skills but were no match for the golden-haired man, obliterated by the golden light.

Another two lines of small glowing text appeared:

"'Mandala Uroboros' has absorbed the power of this battle."

"Please continue."

——With each battle, I gain more strength!

Shen Ye composed himself and said:

"Master, in this world, there is a creature called the Yellow Wind Demon, his power is unimaginable, and he holds part of my gate power."

"Yellow Wind Demon? Lead the way!" the golden-haired man said dismissively.

——Nothing in this world matters!

Except the Gatekeeper's power.

Once retrieved, I will destroy everything here until that guy can't execute that slash!

That's what I should do.

On the other side.

Good Duck, wielding a long sword, shouted urgently:

"Yellow Wind Demon!"

"Damn it, whose power is the strongest? Come and play the Yellow Wind Demon!"

Its pair of duck eyes darted among the monster horde, searching for a powerful presence.

Time was running out——

"It's you! Get in there!"

Good Duck swung its sword, charging at a mighty monster.

——Time Slash!

The monster had no idea what happened, and was sent into Shen Ye's Dharma Aspect.

Though powerful, it wasn't at the level of the Multi-Brain River or the golden-haired man. Upon entry, its memory was altered, becoming similar to Augustus.

Leaping atop a mountain peak, it called out to the approaching golden-haired man:

"Who are you? How dare you covet the Gatekeeper's power?"

"Noisy,"

the golden-haired man said lightly, lifting his fist as a matter of course.

But before he could attack——

Outside the Dharma Aspect.

Good Duck charged deeper into the monster horde, heedless of consequences.

"Someone stronger!"

"I need a truly powerful monster——"

"Play the White Bone Demon for me!"

Duck raised its long sword, eyes bloodshot, as if driven mad.
