Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"——And that rabbit."

Shen Ye had seen it but didn't care much.

Reliance on others was never a long-term solution.

He needed to build his own strength.

Xu Xingke lit a cigarette, took a puff, and asked:

"If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave—Shen Ye, are you coming back with me, or are you going to continue hanging around here in society?"

"I'll mix around here a bit longer; there are still some matters I haven't wrapped up," Shen Ye said.

"What about the two of you?" Xu Xingke turned to look at Earth Mother and Underworld Lord.

Earth Mother smiled gently and said softly:

"Thank you for your assistance in freeing me. There's something I need to attend to right away."

Before she could finish speaking,

a powerful wave surged from the void, instantly sweeping over the entire world.

Xu Xingke, Earth Mother, and Underworld Lord all frowned, taking up defensive positions, watching their surroundings with vigilant expressions.

Shen Ye was different, though.

He "thumped" to the ground, his strength drained from his body, unable to move.

Whoosh——

An even more robust, blazing light formed a lance that pierced his body.

——That Art of Nightmare!

It was again drawing out all strength to attack the king species!

"Damn it, not this move again..."

Shen Ye groaned.

Why could the teacher and several divine spirits still stand?

That's not fair!

A surge of strength suddenly filled his body.

A deafening insect buzz rose rapidly in pitch.

The light-formed lance shattered instantly, dissipating as if it had never existed.

After a few breaths,

everything gradually returned to normal.

Earth Mother resumed:

"Continuing where I left off, there's something that needs to be done immediately."

"Baxter, we must merge with your world right away, or the entire Nightmare World will collapse, just like a dream that never existed—'snap,' destroyed in the universe."

"Why is that?" Shen Ye asked.

"That attacking technique will not stop until it has killed its enemy. It will continuously drain all strength in its vicinity," Earth Mother explained.

"So as long as one is near the Nightmare World, they will be drained of strength?" Xu Xingke asked.

"Exactly, to stop this technique, the only way is for the Nightmare World to merge with the original world—"

"It's like a person casting a technique and then the technique dissipating within him."

"Once this process is finished, the technique will cease."

Xu Xingke made a snap decision and commanded:

"Then let's merge, and do it fast! Otherwise, I'm worried that if other catastrophes invade, they'll cut us down like slicing vegetables, and it will be all over for us."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yes, this wasn't just about the Nightmare World; it was also about the Death Planet.

There were various churches on Death Planet.

If everyone's strength were drained—

catastrophe would seize the opportunity to strike suddenly.

Then everyone would have no strength to resist.

They could only be slaughtered at will!

"I will go to your world with Underworld Lord, and I'll handle the merging ritual," Earth Mother said.

Xu Xingke nodded slightly and said, "Good, then Shen Ye—"

"Teacher, you've temporarily ceased the war with the Five Desires World, on the condition of mutual assistance to deal with the divine spirits from Hell, how about that?" Shen Ye said.

"Fine, let's tell them that for now, and after things here settle down, I want to beat the snot out of them," Xu Xingke said, clenching his fists.

"..." Shen Ye.

"..." Earth Mother.

"..." Miket Tikaxiwa.

"Alright, then let's go—Shen Ye, contact me anytime if you need to," Xu Xingke said.

He placed his hand on the barriers around them.

The barriers gradually disappeared.

Shen Ye hurriedly donned the Death Camouflage Cloak, transforming back into a vampire.

Earth Mother and Underworld Lord followed Xu Xingke.

Xu Xingke shouted into the distance:

"Go! Everyone go back—once you're back, I'll tell you more."

He said they should go, and they went, walking out from that layer by layer of barriers, gesturing to the human legions.

Everyone was startled at the sight.

It was supposed to be a negotiation; how had it ended up with two divinely powerful spirits emerging?

But Xu Xingke was reliable in his actions.

Trustworthy.

Everyone quickly reached for the Catastrophe Source Liquid and took a sip.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——

They all returned to Death Planet.

Shen Ye looked back for a moment.

There was no one around anymore.

For now, that was the case.

Why not try the new title while there's no one around?

He would at least need a "Purple" level item to activate "Encounter at the Jade Terrace Under the Moon" and thus change his Dharma Aspect.

Purple...

The Hongying Knife was of this level, but it was a weapon he would use in combat.

The Shadow Shining Stab was a dagger, also Purple, but it was a special kind of tool, usable for playing dead.

There was also a piece of Battle Armor.

Embrace of the Four Kings.

It was Gold (Legend) level.

...Strictly speaking, he had barely used it.

In times of real danger, he preferred to use his gate power to turn the tide.

So he decided to integrate this piece of Battle Armor into his Dharma Aspect.

Shen Ye unfolded the Dharma Aspect of Lunar Palace, removed the tiny Battle Armor charm from his neck, and tossed it into the Dharma Aspect.

The Battle Armor charm immediately dissipated into dozens of Gold light spots, silently merging into the Dharma Aspect.

A faint glow formed small characters:

"You have activated the Future Title: Encounter Under the Moon at the Jade Terrace."

"The Gold (Legend) level Battle Armor 'Embrace of the Four Kings' has been integrated into your Dharma Aspect 'Lunar Palace'."

"Your Dharma Aspect has undergone a change, detailed as follows:"

"Lunar Palace · Four Kings Under the Moon."

"Description: Once you have designated an enemy, the apparitions of four kings will emerge from your Dharma Aspect to attack the enemy's Dharma Aspect."

"——Apparitions of the Four Kings, the most valiant warriors in human history, stand by your side."

Shen Ye rubbed his eyes and read the description over and over again.

To damage the enemy's Dharma Aspect?
