Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"Actually... there's another technique."

Another technique?

Shen Ye was delighted, but then shouted angrily, "Such an important matter, why didn't you mention it earlier?"

At this moment.

With the Guanghan Palace as a conduit, Immortal Country had already merged into his Dharma Aspect, withholding nothing.

Therefore, communication had become more direct:

"Because you are not qualified."

"Not qualified? Are you referring to strength?" Shen Ye asked.

Immortal Country once again projected faintly glowing characters: "Even when the Immortal Country still existed within that highest layer of the universe, it was extremely rare for anyone to achieve it, let alone 'you' from the Indefinite Layer?"

"At least tell me the situation," Shen Ye said.

"Immortal Country had three techniques that stood supreme, deterring the Ten Directions, supporting Immortal Country to last for countless generations, and becoming the most powerful Immortal Dynasty civilization."

"Among the three techniques, one was Heaven Shaking, passed down through bloodline, very mysterious. When wielded, it could slash through thousands of nations, unbeatable by anyone;"

"One was Chaos Heaven, the technique itself possessed intelligence. Only after recognizing its master would it reveal its power, capable of turning dreams into reality and reality into dreams, extraordinarily profound;"

"Another technique was Connecting Heaven—"

Shen Ye was keenly listening when suddenly, the voice stopped.

"Go on," he urged.

There was no response.

"Hey, if you're writing prose, I will break your legs," Shen Ye said unpleasantly.

Immortal Country emitted dimly glowing characters:

"To obtain the Heaven Connecting Technique, you must pass a trial."

"But for the past five thousand years, no one has passed this technique's trial."

"This has led to only two of Immortal Country's techniques surviving."

"—If all three techniques were gathered, Immortal Country wouldn't have perished."

Reading these lines, Shen Ye suddenly felt the sorrow of Immortal Country.

Forget it.

In consideration of its poor mood, he decided not to take it to task.

But—

"Can I try?" Shen Ye asked.

"There's no other way at the moment, so you might as well try," the Dharma Aspect of Immortal Country displayed a line of characters.

"How should I try?" Shen Ye asked again.

"To initiate the trial of the Heaven Connecting Technique, you must first complete a trial."

The statement was somewhat convoluted.

Shen Ye thought for a moment and then asked, "What exactly do I need to do?"

"Combat—a trial of combat that you, with your strength, and even the vast majority of people, will absolutely not be able to complete!"

"How difficult is it?"

"Look!"

Outside the safe area.

The endless darkness began to surge wildly.

An unparalleled ferocious breath suddenly emerged, covering the whole world.

A good seven or eight breaths passed.

The darkness slowly receded to either side.

A towering palace entirely constructed from bones rose rumbling from the ground, standing between the lofty mountains and steep ridges.

Two Giants stood guard at the palace gates, each holding a Warhammer, solemn and unmoving.

Their heights were almost as tall as the mountains themselves, emanating brutal and crazed killing intent, both staring directly at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye faced the Giants.

The same phrase appeared above the heads of the two Giants:

"Planet Crasher."

Planet... Crash...

It was known that the Dharma Realm never boasts; if you cannot do something, the Dharma Realm would not assign an exaggerated title to you.

So these two Giants, and the Warhammers in their hands—

Could smash stars?

As Shen Ye contemplated, dimly glowing characters gathered before him, forming words once again:

"Once you launch an attack, it signifies the start of the trial!"

"Slay all the monsters in the entire palace! Only then can you awaken that ancient ritual and set foot on the path to Connecting Heaven!"

Shen Ye took another look and understood.

This was the so-called preliminary trial.

—One must pass this trial to initiate the real trial.

Shen Ye looked at the two "Planet Crashers" and murmured to himself:

"Many years later, as I faced those two Giants known as 'Planet Crashers', I suddenly recalled that distant afternoon when the Undead took me to assassinate the Grand Elder of the Elf Race."

"What are you talking about?" the Dharma Aspect of Immortal Country asked.

"Nothing, I just remembered a famous novel from the world," Shen Ye replied.

"Do you understand now? The reason I did not tell you is that you cannot complete the trial—in fact, even the strong from the Upper Universe of Immortal Country have not completed the trial for thousands of years."

"This is why the Heaven Connecting Technique has never appeared."

"It is also the reason for the downfall of Immortal Country!"

Shen Ye pondered and asked, "Based on what you've said, among the three techniques, the Heaven Connecting Technique should be the strongest?"

"Correct!" the Dharma Aspect of Immortal Country said.

Shen Ye's gaze once again converged on the two "Planet Crashers" and asked:

"Can they attack outside of the Dharma Aspect?"

"They cannot."

"That's good."

Suddenly, Shen Ye appeared on the Immortal Country stele, slashing a brilliant blade light at the two Giants and then immediately leaving the Dharma Aspect.

He reappeared in Song Yinchen's room and asked, "Did I hit them?"

"You did," the Dharma Aspect of Immortal Country responded. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire

"How was it?" Shen Ye asked expectantly.

"Not even a hair was broken."

"..."

Fighting.

It was an unbeatable fight.

There was absolutely no hope.

"Wait, what if my Technique Spirit and Divine Spirit are here, and they fight for me?" Shen Ye asked.

"Servants with formal contracts, Technique Spirits, Divine Spirits may do so. Without a contract, it would be considered cheating and your qualification will be cancelled immediately," the Dharma Aspect of Immortal Country replied.

Shen Ye fell into thought.

The Technique Spirit would be the Skeleton.

—Even if it teamed up with him, the outcome would probably entail the word "death."

But—

For some unknown reason, recalling the appearances of the two Giants, Shen Ye felt an odd sense of familiarity.

Strange...

"Could it be I've seen them before?"

He muttered softly.

Two lines of dimly glowing characters appeared:

"The trial is within Immortal Country; you can attempt it anytime."

"Please remember, immediately leave the Dharma Aspect after attacking, or you'll be directly smashed into meat paste by them."
