Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 508 The Land of Truth!

in the dark.

Two people are talking.

"What's going on?" one person asked.

"He just killed another one. Anyway, any disobedient subordinates were killed by him." said another person.

"You only know how to kill? That won't work. No one will be loyal to you." The man said sarcastically.

"The thing is, he didn't care about loyalty - I felt like he just wanted to get rid of those people - he just wanted to kill people."

"Is he a lunatic? That's nothing to be afraid of."

"But he had the allegiance of that metal ship."

"That ship is in trouble."

"… Just obey him first and find another opportunity later."

"That's right. Every human being has flaws. We will find his weakness sooner or later."

"Correct."

The two have reached a consensus.

At this time, someone whispered:
"The Duke has arrived."

The two looked at each other.

"Let's go and greet our Lord."

"Yes, let's go together!"

They pushed open the door, walked out of the secret room together, walked down the long stairs to the ground, and then stood at the door of the hall of the Duke's Mansion.

A few minutes later.

The door of the Duke's Palace opened.

An icy beauty in uniform led the way.

She was followed by an ordinary boy.

Apart from being handsome, he has no other special features.

——This is the Duke.

Can he be a duke like this?
"Your Excellency the Duke, these two, one is your butler, and the other is your ace fighter."

“You can ask them any questions you have.”

Brenna said respectfully.

"Oh? I'm Baxter - now you know me. By the way, what are your names?" asked the boy.

The two of them saluted quickly and gave their names at the same time.

Then they heard the words together:
"Oh, kill them."

The boy said in a discouraged tone.

Kill them?
etc--

Are you talking about us?
Why? It's the first time we meet, we are all your subordinates, and we haven't even had a chance to talk to you, but you want to kill us as soon as we meet?

No one had time to take action.

The other person didn't have time to use the contract to summon the will of destruction.

The two disappeared from the spot at the same time.

Deep in the sky.

The ship burst into waves again, as if it was enjoying the pleasure of enhanced attributes.

people.

Already killed.

thump!
Brenna's legs gave way and she fell to her knees.

——If the previous killings had reasons, then I couldn’t see any reason at all for the killing of these two.

He didn't even have time to say a word before he was captured and killed by the Ship of Destruction!
She took a deep breath, bowed respectfully, and said:

"My Lord Duke, if you want to kill me, please tell me directly. I don't want to die in confusion."

Shen Ye smiled and waved his hand:

"Brenna, I'm not going to kill you."

"W-why? Is it because I'm a woman?" Brenna couldn't help but ask.

"That's not it."

Shen Ye squatted down and motioned for the other person to look at him: "Am I handsome?"

"Handsome," Brenna said objectively.

"Yeah, I'm so handsome and I mean no harm, why do they want to kill me?"

Shen Ye sighed.

As he spoke, he pointed to several servants standing solemnly in various parts of the room.

"Kill this one."

"Kill that one too."

"And these two, kill them both."

Following his orders, the Ship of Destruction in the sky continued to release the power of teleportation, grabbing people directly into the cabin.

Brenna was even more confused.

It is absolutely certain that——

His Excellency the Duke had never seen these servants.

But he killed people as soon as he came.

why?
How did he know that the other party wanted to kill him?
Mind reading?

Or something else?
Brenna thought calmly.

Shen Ye had already looked around, and the golden light in his eyes gradually faded.

——Quicksand pupil technique.

You can see the past and future of your target.

The two people just now will definitely attack me in the future.

In every possible future, they will test themselves and want to kill themselves.

Too persistent.

I have never been a bloodthirsty person, I just had no choice but to do so.

——We can only kill them in advance.

"Brenna, I killed these people. According to the rules, everything they own belongs to me, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke."

"You can call me Baxter."

"Sir, you have the same name as the Duke before?"

"Oh, he's my brother—I have a stupid brother."

"madness……"

"Just the lines. By the way, Brenna, how much are you paid?"

"You need to pay me 26 Destruction Points every 3000 days."

"I'll give you a raise. Starting today, your salary will double." Shen Ye said.

"Really? Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke!"

Brenna's face gained a few more colors.

——The Duke gave me a raise, which proved that he had no intention of killing me.

And you also have to reuse yourself.

Finally, I feel a little safe.

Shen Ye observed the changes in Brenna's expression and gradually felt relieved.

I just used the pupil technique to deduce her fate and found that her future will be smooth without any twists and turns.

——This clerk is very conscientious.

Are there such people among the servants of destruction?
"Brenna, why did you become a believer in destruction?" Shen Ye asked curiously.

"At that time, our world was undergoing a dynasty change. I was a princess of the old dynasty, and my country was destroyed."

"The new emperor is personally leading a hunt for me - he wants to catch me, and he's about to succeed."

"Then what?" Shen Ye asked.

"The world is over," Brenna said.

Shen Ye said thoughtfully: "Destruction has brought you life, and you are sincerely grateful for it..."

"Yes, the Will of Destruction noticed my sincerity and accepted me as its servant," Brenna said.

"Interesting." Shen Ye said.

"Your Excellency the Duke, there are more important things to do now. Please follow me immediately," said Brenna.

More important things?
Shen Ye followed Brenna and quickly walked into the hall of the Duke's Mansion.

There was a scepter standing upright in the hall, and above the scepter, there was a crystal floating.

"What is this?" Shen Ye asked.

"Duke's Scepter - Any powerful person who has just become a Duke must guard this scepter for 24 hours before it can be recognized by the Great Tribulation of Destruction and truly possess the authority of a Duke."

Brenna said seriously.

Shen Ye nodded.

understood.

The real-life Summoner's Rift.

"How much time has passed now?"

Shen Ye asked.

“It’s just the beginning—the countdown starts when you enter this hall,” Brenna said.

Shen Ye sighed.

In fact, being a duke is meaningless.

I have so much to do.

To become stronger, to find other partners on Earth, to open the chip to check the information about the destruction of the world——

There is no time to waste here!
"My lord, once you keep the authority and the crystal, you will gain countless wealth and the source of power of the law corresponding to the level of the Duke of Destruction."

Brenna said.

"Wealth?" Shen Ye asked.

"Yes, the wealth plundered after the destruction of countless worlds." Brenna said.

"The source of the law?" Shen Ye asked again.

"Yes, some of the source power of laws can be used to help servants become stronger, and the Will of Destruction tacitly allows us to collect and circulate it." Brenna said.

Su Su's voice suddenly sounded in Shen Ye's ears:

"Source power is extremely useful. It can help me recover my strength and also help Chatelaine wake up soon."

…seems to have some motivation.

"Sir, there is a way to spend this time more safely."

Brenna said.

"What method?" Shen Ye asked.

"Activate the destruction mission and explore the land of truth!"

"Is this okay?"

"Of course! The Land of Truth is the most dangerous place in the world. If you stay in the Land of Truth for 24 hours without dying, you will inherit the title of Duke and gain all the power."

"The Land of Truth...belongs to the Void World of Truth?" Shen Ye asked.

"Yes, but it is not in the void. It is the earth and the world condensed by the truth."

Brenna continued:

"Many people died there, and few came back."

"But if you just stay there and don't run around or explore, it should be safe."

It turned out to be the case.

Shen Ye transmitted in surprise: "There is such a place in the Void of Truth?"

"Fool," Su Su's voice sounded, "Aren't your cats, dogs and bronze men creatures from the land of truth?"

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses.

Yup!

Its own door connects to the mines of truth.

Where is the mining area?
It must be deep in the earth!

When I built my own real estate cabin, I encountered many dangers.

Not long ago, the cat, dog and bronze man explored some new places and came back to report!

——So this is the land of truth!

Shen Ye was moved and said:
"Then I'm leaving, Brenna."

Brenna was about to speak, but she froze in place, unable to move.

Outside the hall.

A man wearing full body armor fell from the sky, drew out his scepter, pointed it at Shen Ye, and shouted:
"Baxter?"

"It's me." Shen Ye said.

This moment.

He noticed a phrase popping up above the other person's head:
"Dark Devourer." Oops.

It's a strong term!
Lines of dim small words suddenly popped out:
"The opponent's attack term 'Dark Devourer' has taken effect."

"Destruction entry, seventh level of destruction."

"Description: When each of your attributes is lower than the opponent's, the opponent will obtain all your summons, weapons, magic weapons, armor, etc."

Shen Ye reacted very quickly and shouted immediately:
"come out!"

The void opens.

Another Shen Ye walked out and merged into one with him.

The small words in the glimmer jumped:
"You activated the bloodline of the emperor."

"You activated 'self-overclocking'."

"When the two 'you' merge into one, you actually possess all of their attributes and abilities combined."

"All current attributes are doubled!"

"You have activated the Heavenly Light, and all your basic attributes have increased by 7 times."

"Your total attributes have reached: 11200 points."

Shen Ye looked at the man again.

——I feel so full of energy that I’m about to explode!

But I don’t know whether such attribute values are still under the opponent’s control?

By the way, this is also the first time I fight against an enemy with destruction attributes.

must be careful!

The man said in a cold voice:

"Your ship is strong, but from now on, it's mine."

He waved towards the air.

The boat didn't move.

He waved again.

The boat still didn't move.

He waved desperately.

The boat made an impatient sound:
"Are you sick?"

The man was startled, and stepped back while looking at Shen Ye:
"Impossible! What are your basic attributes?"

Shen Ye shrugged and didn't answer.

Instead, the Ship of Destruction became interested and continued:

"I killed him, do you have any objection?"

"No." Shen Ye said.

Swah——

The man instantly turned into a flying rainbow, flew out of the Duke's Mansion and disappeared.

"Ran?"

Shen Ye looked at the Ship of Destruction in surprise.

"He seems to have some special treasure on him that can replace his death once." said the Boat of Destruction.

A wooden dummy emerged from mid-air and fell to the ground.

——It turned out that the wooden man just now replaced the "Dark Devourer" and was caught and killed by the Ship of Destruction.

"How interesting, you can escape like this?"

Shen Ye murmured.

next moment.

The small words suddenly popped up again:
"You are hit by the destruction term 'Dark Lone Walker'."

"From now on, you can only fight one move at a time, and no one else can interfere."

"One move determines victory or defeat."

Mandatory combat rules!
Shen Ye's heart sank and he became alert again.

This guy is very strong!
His entries are all of the type designed to force victory in battle.

but--

If you can only fight one-on-one, it is actually more suitable for you to win.

"He's here again. I can't do anything this time. Your life or death will be decided by him, kid."

The Ship of Destruction said in a gloating tone.

"You haven't seen me for a long time." Shen Ye said.

With a "clang" sound, the Tu Yu Sword came out of its sheath and was held in his hand.

He took up a defensive stance, waiting with bated breath.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

A spear suddenly appeared from the void, pierced Shen Ye's chest and lifted him high.

The man with the name "Dark Lone Walker" floating above his head suddenly appeared.

He raised his spear high, poked the still struggling Shen Ye, and laughed wildly:
"Hahaha! You killed the previous Duke with a sneak attack, and then I killed you with a sneak attack from behind!"

"This is your destiny, boy!"

"In the next life, I will learn swordsmanship well - at least I can block one of my attacks, and then I can go out into the world again!"

The spear shook.

Shen Ye's body suddenly broke into pieces.

Kill with one move!
The man put away his spear, looked up with a proud expression, and said loudly:

"Ark of Destruction, from now on, you are mine!"

"Come on, surrender to me!"

The Ship of Destruction was suspended in mid-air. After a long while, it sighed and said in a muffled voice:
"I have to admit something."

"What's the matter?" the man asked.

"I underestimated you from the very beginning - I didn't expect that even your swordsmanship was so advanced, so from now on, I don't think my loss was unfair." said the Ship of Destruction.

The man was a little surprised.

It says knife skills...

But the weapon I use is a spear...

What's going on?
next moment.

The man suddenly felt an unprecedented pain.

He saw a headless figure kneeling on the ground, wearing a full set of armor, holding a spear and pointing it into the void.

This is--

This is your own body!

How could this be?
What is going on?

The man turned his eyes vigorously and looked around, and then he saw himself in the reflection of the shiny metal armor.

I only have a head left.

The head was chopped off and rolled to the ground.

So this move meant that I lost and my head was chopped off?

Outrageous!

How can this be possible!!!
The Duke of Baxter's voice came to my ears for the last time:

"You will get a lot of attribute points by killing him, Ark of Destruction. You will lose a lot if you stand aside and watch this time."

The man wanted to say something, but his eyes were shrouded in endless darkness.

Eternal darkness.

midair.

The Ship of Destruction remained silent for a few breaths before asking:

"Does that sword technique just now have a name?"

"some."

"What is it?"

"Hun Tian, you can call it Hun Tian Zhan." Shen Ye said.

Small words appeared in the air, showing a hint for the move just now:
"Huntian."

"The 21st level of truth, the ultimate sword technique."

“Description: Display the Dream Slash with supreme power, making the enemy immersed in the dream, unable to defend or attack, helpless and unable to do anything but wait for death.”

"——The flower is not a flower, the fog is not a fog. It comes like a spring dream that lasts only a short time, and leaves like a morning cloud that is nowhere to be found."

"Note: This power can only be achieved when performed with the Dharma of Creation of Truth; otherwise, the power of the sword technique will be weakened, only about 30% of the original power."

In the Dharma.

Su Su yawned and murmured:
"I'm tired, too—almost as tired as Chatelet."

"I'm sorry. I feel ashamed for making my Dharma image so tired. I will try not to exert the power of my Dharma image in the future." Shen Ye transmitted the message.

Su Su's voice suddenly rose:
"That won't do. You've finally come this far, mastered the Three Truth Sword Techniques, and obtained the Three Pure Ones Dharma Images. I'll hold on a little longer, but you have to be careful too. You must not die."

"Okay." Shen Ye said.

At this moment.

Brenna suddenly moved, and then quickly regained her mobility.

"Your Excellency the Duke, I was controlled just now——Ah!!!"

She suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ye asked.

"This corpse is the Duke of Weiss. He came here to kill you in person!"

The female clerk stared at the headless corpse on the ground with disbelief on her face.

"Is this a duke?" Shen Ye asked in surprise.

"Yes, he is known as the most skilled fighter among the three dukes. He has never been defeated in a fight. You are the first!"

Brenna said.

Shen Ye looked at the corpse kneeling on the ground, then looked outside.

…I don’t feel good.

If I kill the Duke of Weiss, I will definitely inherit everything from him.

"Brenna, are there any servants of destruction more powerful than the three dukes?" Shen Ye asked immediately.

"Have!"

Brenna understood and immediately said, "When you inherit the power and status of the Duke, it won't be so easy for them to touch you."

"I understand - I will seek refuge in the Land of Truth now. Do you have anything to tell me?"

"Your Excellency is wise. There is actually nothing to say. All you need to do is contact us once an hour using your scepter to prove that you are not dead," said Brenna.

"OK."

After Shen Ye finished speaking, he stepped forward, grabbed the scepter, and swung it vigorously.

A teleporting force emerged from the scepter.

Immediately afterwards——

There was a sudden spin.

Shen Ye's feet stepped on solid ground.

It was dark all around.

Look carefully -

This is an underground mineral vein, with a lot of rubble and long-rotten mining tools scattered around.

"I'm back." Su Su said with emotion.

"Yes, we are back." Shen Ye also sighed.

Although I know it is very dangerous here, after all, I have escaped from the space where the will of destruction is entrenched, which makes me feel like I am back home.

The scepter in his hand made a slight sound.

Then, the faint light appeared as small words in the void:

"Surviving here for 24 hours will automatically qualify you to become a duke."

"start!"

Shen Ye stood up with the scepter and said:

"Su Su, what kind of place is this land of truth?"

"I woke up here." Su Su said.

"what!"

"All twenty-one ultimate creations awakened from here - why don't you try digging? Maybe you can find the twenty-second one."

"Don't tease me."

"I'm not kidding you - but I advise you to be careful. I can't hold on any longer."

Su Su yawned and fell into a deep sleep in the Dharma image.
