Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"No weaknesses!"

"Understood."

Shen Ye dashed towards the city square.

In no time,

he saw that enormous statue.

It was a statue of a Jailor holding the Code of Laws, wearing a bronze helmet, with a skull Face Armor covering its face.

Indeed, beneath the statue, an elf completely greyish-black in color was chained with long chains.

No need to ask!

Shen Ye had already seen the entry above its head:

"The heretic of the Elf Race, the Spirit Devourer, the Desecrator."

This was even more prestigious than The Skinner.

The Skinner didn't have such a "name"!

Shen Ye landed directly in front of him, and before he could speak, the other party had already attacked.

"Haha, Vampire Kid, this is you asking for it. It just so happens I've been hungry for too long..."

The Spirit Devourer immediately clasped his hands to form a seal and released a dark green glow that spread out all around.

It was only then that Shen Ye noticed a pile of bones lying beneath the other's feet.

—Indeed, those powerful Elves could punish the Spirit Devourer.

But more often, the Spirit Devourer could kill those not strong enough and eat them!

"Quick, he's using his Dharma Aspect!"

The Skeleton urged.

Shen Ye felt an even greater sense of urgency.

He decided to test the strength accumulated by the insect, feeling he should have two nodes by now.

To unleash them, he needed to use his fists and feet or some techniques.

"Die, and become rotten flesh to blend into my toxic stew, so I can absorb some nutrients and have a very good day."

The Spirit Devourer laughed happily.

The dark green glow spread on the ground, turning into a swamp bubbling with foam.

Fallen Dharma Aspect·Devouring Soul Toxic Land!

Once the Dharma Aspect was wielded, the Spirit Devourer rushed forward, attacking Shen Ye continuously without pause.

The ground was filled with deadly poison.

The hunted prey had to avoid his attacks but also had to step on the toxic swamp, unable to leave.

Many preys were killed this way!

The Spirit Devourer was well-practiced at this.

He even began to think about what parts of a vampire he could eat and what he couldn't.

After all, he didn't want to become a vampire himself!

All was in readiness—

On Shen Ye's end, he simply released a ball of Thunder Light from one hand and slammed it down hard.

Thunder Shock Palm.

Boom!!!

The earth shook, and the mountains quaked.

The entire square was gone.

Only a five-finger-shaped abyss enshrouded by never-ending Thunder Light remained.

"..." Shen Ye.

"..." The Skeleton.

"This Elf can be considered strong?" Shen Ye shrugged his shoulders.

"Nonsense, you're wielding the strength of a king species, capable of destroying the world. Killing an Elf is child's play to you," the Skeleton said.

Shen Ye silently experienced the power of the king species within him.

In the void, tiny sparks of light formed words:

"The power channel between sealing and descending is operating."

"It is drawing power from the king species body."

"You are also a Dark Devourer, hence you can fully wield this power!"

"Attack over."

"The consumed power is being replenished."

—This was the energy flow channel established by Song Yinchen!

So long as he kept using the insect's power, he didn't even need to return to the Great Tomb to replenish the Sealing Power!

Tsk.

Killing this Elf took less than one node.

He had wanted to test the enemy's reality, so he hadn't gone all out.

Who knew it would be this strong!

Shen Ye gestured with his hand.

A crystal clear Bone Fragment flew up from the abyss and landed in his hand.

Quick!

Where's the next place?

He closed his eyes and sensed slightly.

Got it.

Shen Ye's physique shifted, and he swiftly flew to the entrance of a Monastery.

Clang!

The doors were pushed open.

There were hordes of Necromancers.

They seemed to be conducting some kind of ritual.

Shen Ye was in a hurry, waved his hands to them as he walked in, and followed his senses to the main hall, walking along the wall to the end.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

...It seems to be inside the wall.

"Who are you? The Monastery can't just be trespassed," a Necromancer stepped forward and said.

"I'm Baxter, just checking if your Monastery's decor is up to snuff. If not, I'm thinking of sponsoring some repairs," said Shen Ye.

Baxter!

The name seemed magical.

The throng of Necromancers buzzed with discussion.

"Are you sure? But why didn't you make an appointment in advance?" an elderly Necromancer intensified his tone.

"On a whim—mostly because I heard our big brother in Eternal Night City got help from the Necromancers and successfully found a job," Shen Ye said.

"And you are?"

"Sang Biao Baxter, remember this – I may not be the strongest, but I'm the richest."

Shen Ye threw a punch, breaking the wall.

There it is.

Right inside the wall!

A little box, sealing the Wristbone of the Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa.

Shen Ye directly collected the box into his Ring, then withdrew his hand from the wall.

"I touched it casually, and the wall broke—do you guys really live in such a shabby place?" he mocked.

The elderly Necromancer, incensed, roared:

"Dammit, you—"

A big bag of Bone Coins flew towards them, and somehow in the process, the bag opened up and scattered.

The clatter of coins falling.

The old Necromancer hugged the bag as thousands of Bone Coins spilt onto the floor.

"What?" Shen Ye asked.

"You are absolutely right, day and night we long for someone like you to rescue us from dire straits," the old Necromancer said.

Shen Ye nodded and turned to walk outside.

"Fix it up nicely, and when our big brother is also dead, we will all come to give our thanks."

And with that,

The door closed.

He left.

Inside the room, the shrill scream of the aged wizard rang out, "No one is allowed to pick them up, this is the public property of the entire monastery!"

Shen Ye took the wristbone, and the sensing strength immediately became stronger.

He checked the time.

It had been less than half an hour.

"Buddy, keep it up!" the giant skeleton encouraged.

"Hmm."

Shen Ye quickly distinguished the direction and hurried across the streets, flew up, crossed the tall buildings, and landed in front of a door stained with blood.

Slaughterhouse.

He climbed over the iron gate and landed behind it, immediately surrounded by several burly corpse demons.

"Who are you?"

The lead corpse demon asked.

"Baxter," Shen Ye said.

"Ha, I've heard of you, but the slaughterhouse is my territory, get out."

"I'm here for a task, I'll leave right away."

Shen Ye's eyes swiftly searched and quickly found the hiding spot.

——It was inside the storage locker for slaughtering equipment.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Get out!"

A warhammer swept ferociously, crashing heavily into Shen Ye's chest.

His physique didn't move an inch.

The crowd looked closely, only to see one of his hands held in front of his chest, gripping hard.

The warhammer was directly crushed.

Shen Ye smiled, no longer paying attention to these people, and turned to walk inside the slaughterhouse.

"Go call for backup!"

The burly man shouted.

——Seems like they're not going to let it go.

As Shen Ye walked, he moved his physique and activated the Flowing Moon Movement Technique, releasing another version of himself.

The two walked side by side.

"What are you looking at?" Zuo Shenye asked.

"Looking at you, what's it to you?" Right Shen Ye said.

"Try looking again?" Zuo Shenye asked.

"Just try me!" Right Shen Ye said.

The two Shen Yes high-fived, and Right Shen Ye turned back and disappeared from sight.

Shen Ye looked down at his fist, glowing with a dark gold luster.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from behind—

Shen Ye didn't look back, mobilized the insect power within him, and swung a punch backward.

Boom!!!

The ground shook.

Dust swirled like dragons, weaving back and forth.

Exploding winds brushed everything.

Screams were drowned out.

True man Shen Ye never looked back, taking big strides forward, reaching the locker, and pulling it open.

There it was.

Inside the cabinet was a bone battle axe.

The bone was indeed the Underworld Lord's, only it had sealed its own power, only revealing the attributes of strength and sharpness.

Shen Ye pulled hard and broke the skeleton off the battle axe.

Suddenly.

A voice sounded in his ear:

"Is my power still of use?"

The king species!

"Yeah, it's not bad, clean renewable energy," Shen Ye said.

"Just erase two—no, you only need to erase one seal line, and I can give you more strength," the voice of the king species sounded again.

Shen Ye chuckled.

This bug had always been domineering and was not used to enticing others, so these words seemed too stiff.

But it also served as a reminder to himself.

These were external forces.

Someday, external forces would be unreliable.

When he had time, he would have to train specifically to enhance his own strength.

Having secured the item.

He prepared to leave.

Suddenly, rows of faintly glowing text appeared:

"Sang Biao Baxter, your reputation is spreading throughout Cannon Branding Castle."

"As a member of the Baxter Family, please make more sensational, praiseworthy deeds be heard!"

"Brother entry 'Vampire Kid' will elevate because of your actions!"

Shen Ye glanced at it and then ignored it.

——The Vampire Kid entry was already purple, and it would be difficult to elevate it further.

Heaven knows what sort of deed it would take to elevate it.

Suddenly.

Several figures flew in from the sky.

"Baxter?" a figure greeted in surprise.

——General Tazweil.

Shen Ye didn't feel like paying attention to him anymore.

He was in a rush!

"That's me, but who are you? Don't interrupt my work," Shen Ye said.

"I'm Tazweil, the current master of Cannon Branding Castle, and you are not any of the other Baxters I know. May I ask who exactly you are—"

"I am Sang Biao Baxter, also the strongest among the brothers. Have you met my elder brothers?" Shen Ye asked.

General Tazweil felt a bit awkward.

His brothers—

They had sacrificed themselves to protect him.

"Sang Biao, why have you come to Cannon Branding Castle?"

General Tazweil said.

"I heard that the original overseer of Hell's first layer was a Holy Gargoyle?" Shen Ye asked.

"Yes, he was, but he died in battle, and in his final moments, he entrusted this Reincarnation Hall to me," General Tazweil said.

"Died in battle..." Shen Ye murmured.

He remembered hearing faint sobs from the Reincarnation Hall when he had come as San'er Baxter.

General Tazweil had also said something:

"The responsibility... in the end, it falls onto my shoulders..."

It made sense.

It seemed that the position of overseer of Hell's first layer was not an easy one to fill.

——No one could win against the Nine Aspects.

"That's right, Hell is blocked, and there's an extremely terrifying monster wreaking havoc everywhere, unbeatable by anyone," General Tazweil said.

Shen Ye went straight to the point:

"I am a devotee of the Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa. I have come to reunite with my brothers, and secondly, to seek the remains of Miket Tikaxiwa."

To reunite with his brothers.

General Tazweil sighed silently, gritted his teeth, and then spoke:

"I'll make the decision—"

"You're free to roam the entire Cannon Branding Castle, and if you can find the remains of that divine spirit, you can take all of it!"
