Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Chapter 261 Show Your True Skills!

```

Deep underground.

The king species floated in mid-air, its eight long tails lashing behind it, knocking away every attack from the Technique Spirits.

Even when Techniques of the rule class struck it, they were immediately repelled.

Boom—

The castle continued to be destroyed by various Techniques.

"How disappointing, not a single Technique Spirit in this entire castle is qualified to fight me,"

the king species said, then suddenly paused.

The human powerhouse was nowhere to be seen.

It immediately realized something and rushed out of the castle, looking not far away.

There, the Giant covered in tubes was slowly opening its eyes, as all the tubes on its body snapped off and vanished.

"I wondered why it looked familiar... It's the corpse of the World's Will, and it's in your hands!"

the king species said.

The Giant opened its mouth, Xu Xingke's voice coming out:

"I've improved its Strength, hoping to battle you once again."

The king species gazed at the Giant, a thread of reminiscence appearing in its eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Thousands of years have passed in a flash. The poison I left on the corpse has lost its efficacy, and I didn't expect you to find a loophole."

"—Does it still go by 'Ancient Tomb Guardian God'?"

"No," the Giant said in a deep, resounding voice: "Its new name is 'Only My Son Can Beat Me'."

"You're asking for death!"

The king species' Physique flickered in succession, instantly sweeping through the dark void, and pierced through the Giant's chest.

"Hahaha, you haven't even repaired its wounds, and you think you can fight me?"

It laughed wildly.

Suddenly.

A certain call transmitted through the void.

"Banner top food."

—This was the agreed upon code.

The slave that had defected had found food, and it was time for it to feast.

The king species immediately perceived it, and its expression turned hesitant.

This was its own command.

And replenishing Energy could be a good thing.

After all, the Chaos Spirit Light had appeared once.

It was coveting everything in the shadows.

—It couldn't allow it to benefit from the situation.

This was also the reason it hadn't gone all out.

In the moment of the king species' contemplation, the Giant immediately sensed its hesitation.

"A perfect opportunity!"

The Giant let out a thunderous roar, withdrawing its punch.

Such a massive Physique, yet the punch was as fast as lightning.

It was only when the punch approached the king species that the sound of explosive Shock followed.

—Thud!

The king species hastily blocked the punch and was immediately blasted away.

Flying hundreds of yards through the darkness, a trace of blood seeped from the corner of its mouth, instantly igniting its ferocity.

"There's no need to play with you any longer."

"—Within three moves, everything about you will come to The End by my hands!"

Countless slender arms atop its head stood erect, each forming Spell Seals.

The overwhelming killing intent was almost palpable.

The time had come to show its true power!

However, in the next second.

Yet another voice reached its ears.

"...Emperor... I have found the heart of the Seal of Fate for you. Shatter it, and you will win!"

Thud thud thud thud thud—

A series of dense shattering sounds suddenly echoed in the void.

Those were the sounds of the void bursting from the abrupt termination of the king species' Spell Seals, which it had almost activated.

The king species's murderous aura dissipated instantly, no longer glancing at the World Titan opposite it, its gaze instead turning towards the deeper dark void.

The exact location was a bit hazy...

Had it really been found?

A long-lost tension surfaced in the heart of the king species.

It had spent thousands of years trying to break the seal; could it be that this moment was when it would finally taste ultimate victory?

The core of the Seal of Fate—

Compared to the current combat, finding the core of the Seal of Fate was what truly mattered!

More important than anything else!!!

The king species' Physique flashed, ready to dive into the void.

"We haven't finished our fight yet, why are you running? Are you afraid of me?"

The Giant roared and lashed out, its hands moving rapidly to form Hand Seals, trying to seal off the surrounding space.

The king species looked at its desperate efforts and suddenly came to a realization.

This guy.

He was buying time.

Perhaps someone else had discovered the Seal of Fate and was contesting it with his Slave Worm?

—Then all the more reason to rush there immediately!

The king species let out a cold smirk, saying:

"It's useless, mere spatial confinement Techniques are nothing to me; I can simply leave by using 'Descend'."

"—Humans are too simplistic, completely ignorant of the profound secrets of bodily manipulation. They cannot possibly fight against our race."

The Giant, as if hearing nothing, persistently deployed Hand Seals, activating layer upon layer of Technique.

But it was all in vain.

The king species' Physique gradually faded, slowly disappearing into the void.

In the last moment.

It remembered the Descender's words.

Yes.

Shatter the heart of the Seal of Fate.

And I will win!

The king species laughed aloud: "Finally, the time for harvest has come. Once I've accomplished the great task, I will return to battle you!"

"But let me warn you in advance, all of you will die, and this planet will be completely devoured by me."

"—I will win!"

In a flash.

It disappeared.

The Giant stood in the darkness, gradually ceasing the movement of its hands.

"Shen Ye, I've done my best to stop it..."

It sighed, Physique flashing, chasing after it with unimaginable speed.

Elsewhere.

Shen Ye—

No, it should be said, the king species. Experience more tales on empire

It Descended into Shen Ye's body, then opened his eyes.

"Tell me, what's the situation now? Where is the heart of the Seal of Fate?"

The king species immediately asked.

Strange.

The moment it Descended, the body was falling.

And when it took over the body—

Everything around it had completely changed.

```

At this moment.

I found myself standing in a boundless white world.

"This is another world, oh great Insect Emperor." Shen Ye said, joining the conversation.

"Another world? It couldn't possibly be some sort of trap of yours, could it," the king species said with a dismissive chuckle, "or perhaps you wish to replace me, to become the 'Dark Devourer' who rules the universe?"

"You are invincible, how could I possibly replace you!" Shen Ye said.

If someone were to observe the scene now, they would only see Shen Ye alone in this vast expanse of nothingness.

From an onlooker's perspective, he appeared to be talking to himself.

"You're right, all the techniques at your disposal are ineffective against me... The gap between our strengths is like that of dust to a star."

The king species said.

It suddenly sensed something odd.

Looking down, its physique was covered in layers upon layers of lines that sketched out the core of the Seal of Fate.

All the lines were emitting a faint glow!

"Look, the Seal of Fate, I've found it, and it's right here on me!"

Shen Ye said.

The king species fell into silence.

The Seal.

On its body.

And it had descended into this physique itself.

...Was it sealed again?

The other's incessant chatter started up once more:

"To celebrate your acquisition of the core of the Seal of Fate, winning the entire battle, I've specially carved an ice sculpture as a tribute to you!"

"Please look—"

Chunks of ice rose from the ground, assembling in mid-air into a line of human characters:

"Win your mom."

Not only that—

The king species found itself trapped deep within a massive ice crystal.

So the sensation of falling just now, was it because this physique had jumped into this chunk of ice?

Timed just perfectly.

As soon as it arrived, it fell into the ice crystal, sealed within.

Laughable.

This slave actually had such a technique!

—He was human before, but humans shouldn't have such a profession!

The king species shook its physique forcefully.

Crash—

The entire ice crystal shattered completely.

The fog of frost dispersed.

Outside the ice crystal, the world view unfolded before the eyes of the king species.

Mirrored ice stalactites floated in the air, enveloped by a mist of frosty chill.

Thousands of mirrors faced each other, arranged in rows in the sky, stretching to the horizon.

Not just the sky.

The earth and everything around, everywhere was a mirror of frost.

The king species understood at a glance.

This was clearly a battlefield prepared with deliberate planning.

Fighting here, there must be some kind of geographical advantage that was favorable to the opponent.

The king species spoke:

"After gaining the chance to become part of the insect race, and even serve me, and should you perform well enough, I would have granted you the power to change profession, yet you betrayed me—"

"Don't you think that is a foolish thing to do?"

"What if I hadn't performed well enough?" Shen Ye said with a chuckle, continuing the conversation, "I take it you were preparing to devour me?"

"So you were afraid." The king species said.

"If I don't perform well enough, I get eaten—such a thing is not in line with labor laws, and besides, I'm willing to create wealth with my own hands, but I don't sell my life." Shen Ye said.

Swish—

A blade of light flashed by.

Shen Ye's hands fell to the ground.

"Now, where are your hands? You smarty-pants." The king species said coldly.

Shen Ye, shivering in pain, immediately made a move that the king species could not understand.

He kicked his feet up and sent his hands flying off, landing far away in the frosty fog, out of sight.

"Have you gone mad?"

The king species controlled its body and spat out a glob of blood.

The blood instantly transformed into countless sharp Blood Blades that cut back and forth across Shen Ye's physique.

"Ahhhhh—"

Shen Ye let out a scream of agony.

Time seemed extraordinarily drawn out.

This torture persisted continually, without cease.

The voice of the king species emanated from his body:

"There is only one end for traitors—"

"Death."

It raised its hand, piercing through Shen Ye's heart.

Shen Ye collapsed to the ground.

He was dead.

However, in a nearby mirror, another version of him suddenly came to life.

The him in the mirror sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

That technique just now was terrifying; he had no chance to escape at all.

—Fortunately, it had killed him.

At the moment of death, he had obtained that one and only opportunity.

Shen Ye looked towards his corpse outside the mirror.

In front of his eyes, a faint light gathered to form small characters:

"You have switched bodies."

— Yes!

In the moment before death, Shen Ye had switched to another physique!

Most importantly—

This physique was purely human, devoid of insect blood, devoid of runes!

The insect could not descend into this body!

Countless mirrors, stretching as far as the eye could see, each and every Shen Ye.

He could use them all.

Whereas the insect could only use that physique which was being sealed, the one lying dead on the ground.

But Shen Ye didn't even have the opportunity to switch bodies!

This decisive transformation only came at the cost of his death.

The voice of the Technique Spirit rang out:

"Be careful, it is very powerful, this is just the beginning."

"Isn't it sealed inside me?" Shen Ye asked.

"It is only sealed inside your body, it still requires time to seal all of its powers." The Technique Spirit said.

"Quickly seal its ability to move through space—otherwise it will get away!"

Shen Ye said.

"I am doing my best to accomplish this!" The voice of the Technique Spirit faded away.

Shen Ye watched the corpse without blinking an eye.

This creature was too strong...

Could he really manage?
