Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 561 Sacrifice Ceremony!

A gray shadow passed through the sky and fell gently.

It was Xu Xingke.

He held the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep puff, squinted his eyes and looked at the surrounding scene, and said:

"Is the eternal mission completed?"

The woman not far away stopped her sword.

"Yes, Sensei, I am taking on the next assignment."

The long sword in her hand trembled slightly, shaking off all the remaining flesh and blood on the sword.

The sword is as bright as new.

"Actually, you can take a proper rest. You've been working so hard. If your body can't take it, wouldn't all your efforts be wasted?" Xu Xingke asked.

He said this with a hint of mockery in his heart.

In fact.

I have always been very strict with my subordinates and students.

I didn't expect that today I would be persuading others to take a rest.

It was really because the girl killed too fiercely and cruelly, and she did not rest for three days and three nights.

not far away.

The plain was littered with monster corpses.

She alone, with only a sword, killed her way through the entire plain!

She didn't want to stop yet.

She also wants to use the power of the Eternal Mission to continue to improve her strength!
Even I have never seen such a swordsman!

"It's okay, teacher."

I only heard Xiao Mengyu say respectfully:
"I'm afraid Shen Ye has never had much rest. I must catch up with his pace."

Xu Xingke turned his gaze and looked towards the end of the plain——

In that gray mist.

A huge figure was moving slowly towards the plain.

It was a powerful monster from the ancient times, during the war between destruction and eternity.

It is a legendary existence!

"Your next mission is to deal with it?"

Xu Xingke asked.

"Yes, I am no match for it alone, so I would like to ask the teacher for help."

"I will take action too?"

"No, I want you to call someone over."

"Who?"

"Sword Princess."

Perhaps fearing that Xu Xingke might not understand, Xiao Mengyu hurriedly explained:
"Whenever my strength improves, the swordsmanship I learn will also improve immediately, showing me a broader and more profound prospect."

Xu Xingke exclaimed: "Then you must have received some kind of inheritance - only inheritance can lead to such a situation."

"Yes - I have now mastered a sword technique, but I am unable to perform it with my strength. I need another swordsman to form a sword formation with me." Xiao Mengyu said.

"Are you willing to pass on your swordsmanship to others?" Xu Xingke asked in surprise.

Xiao Mengyu explained sincerely:

"The reason why this sword technique has become a sword formation is because it requires more sword practitioners to master and learn it."

"And I have learned to this level and passed all the tests of swordsmanship, so this swordsmanship allows me to choose another successor."

Xu Xingke pondered and said:

"...This is too advanced. I have never heard of such swordsmanship. Anyway, I want to see it for myself."

He pulled out a card and threw it gently.

Bang!
The card becomes a summoning technique.

Moment.

The smoke created by the expansion of space dissipated.

A fashionable woman with seven or eight long swords hanging around her waist, who was squeezing spicy strips into her mouth, appeared in front of the two men.

It’s Sword Princess!

"Hmm? Old Xu, you're looking for me?"

She asked in surprise.

"It's like this..." Xu Xingke explained briefly.

Jian Ji looked at Xiao Mengyu, smiled and shook her head:
"You don't have to teach me - my sword skills are more than enough, but if there's anything you don't understand, I can help you."

Clang!
Xiao Mengyu drew out the Luoshen Sword and pointed it at Jian Ji from a distance.

"Oh? You want to have a sparring match?"

The sword girl put her hand on the sword, a faint smile appeared on her face.

But soon.

The smile on her face disappeared, and she whispered softly:
"What kind of swordsmanship is this..."

Xu Xingke looked at Xiao Mengyu in surprise.

——Xiao Mengyu just held the sword and didn’t move at all.

what's the situation?
"If you have any questions, I suggest you don't--"

Before Xu Xingke could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jian Ji.

"Old Xu, don't talk yet."

Jian Ji gradually became serious, with a solemn expression, and walked towards Xiao Mengyu step by step.

Her right hand rested on one sword, and soon on the other sword, switching back and forth, but in the end she did not draw out any of the swords.

After counting the breaths.

She had already walked in front of Xiao Mengyu.

Only then did Xu Xingke understand.

——Xiao Mengyu’s sword exudes a sense of sword intent.

That will is vast and invisible, and one does not know how majestic it is. Only by carefully sensing it can one sense it.

Dharma?

No, it’s not the Dharmadhatu.

What level of swordsmanship is this?

Not sure.

"How are you going to teach it?"

Sword Princess asked.

"Don't ask me how to teach, just tell me how you want to learn this sword." Xiao Mengyu said.

Jian Ji thought for a moment and said:

"Countless swordsmen have lived their lives in vain, and will never be able to reach this level of swordsmanship."

"As the saying goes, if you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening—"

"Now that I have seen and heard this sword, I shall accept it with reverence."

She knelt on one knee, clasped her fists and saluted, with a respectful look and a solemn and calm face.

A smile appeared on Xiao Mengyu's face.

"Practice this sword with awe, and when you draw the sword, all beings will be in awe of you."

She put away her sword and pointed at the sword girl's forehead.

"Sister Jian Ji, please help me defeat the monster outside the plain."

"it is good!"

The words fell.

The two women took off into the air and flew towards the direction of the monster outside the plain.

Xu Xingke stood where he was.

He watched this scene silently.

Until the two women's figures turned into small black dots in the sky and fell far away towards the huge monster.

Moment.

The sky and the earth are empty.

But two streaks of golden light flashed and then disappeared, and then countless sword shadows burst into life, turning into a backward waterfall connecting the sky and the earth, and then turning into an ocean curtain between heaven and earth.

The strong wind is blowing back.

All the corpses on the plain were chopped into nothingness by the sword.

Xu Xingke held a large shield in his hand to block the endless sword intent.

——He retreated again and again, retreating hundreds of miles before he escaped from the aftermath of the swordplay.

"What amazing swordsmanship..."

"who is it?"

"I have seen countless heroes in the world, but I have never seen anyone perform such swordsmanship."

"After seeing you today, I have no regrets in my life."

"But I don't know the name of this sword technique."

Xu Xingke sighed silently, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he pulled out a card.

The card is the battle record card of the Tarot Tower.

I was right next to the battlefield, and the people fighting were members of the Tarot Tower—

So the record this time should be more detailed!

He looked down and saw lines of prompts appearing on the card:
"The members of the Tarot Tower, Jian Ji and Xiao Mengyu, combined their strength and used the sword formation to activate the sword technique:"

"Secret sword, painted shadow."

"——Using a sword to draw shadows, there are many shadows, and the painting is endless."

Xu Xingke watched for a while with bated breath, then suddenly lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and murmured:

"Such swordsmanship is on our side..."

“It’s really lucky.”

"——She should be able to go see Shen Ye now."

……

the other side.

Black Flame City.

Everyone was busy and nervously building a new altar.

no way.

Most of the people in the city died in the battle.

The previous city lord also died.

Some of those who could run ran away.

There were not many people left, so they all had to be mobilized.

Hao Yaya didn't know at this moment that Xiao Mengyu was about to come to see her.

It stepped on the statue of the former city lord and said loudly:

"quick!"

"Faster!"

"——You need a suitable altar to offer the right sacrifice and then get the attention of the Great Tribulation of Destruction!"

This is real.

As the original spirit of destruction, he naturally knew how to deal with the will of destruction.

True.

If it were just me, I would have been able to directly come into contact with the will of destruction.

But for this city—

Then we must use more solemn and formal rituals to welcome the coming of the catastrophe of destruction.

at last.

The altar is completed.

"Respected Primal Spirit, our work is done."

A professional said.

"is it?"

The good duck with white feathers flew up and landed in front of the altar to examine it carefully.

With its natural sense of destruction, it quickly pointed out several construction errors.

The professionals were convinced and immediately corrected various errors.

finally--

This time the advent altar was built perfectly!

Everyone present felt a completely different kind of power from the altar.

"The power of destruction is almost overflowing from the altar - it is truly a masterpiece."

"We have never built an altar of this level!"

"That's right, the original spirit is indeed extraordinary!"

Everyone whispered.

Good Duck flew up to the altar, coughed lightly, and said:

"Okay, now I will summon a real person in charge for you--"

"He was carrying a big knife—"

"he came!"

Bang!
The void moved.

Young Shen Ye makes a brilliant appearance.

"Hello everyone, I'm Baxter, the legendary vampire."

"My height is confidential. I usually like to eat instant noodles and drink Coke. My favorite female star is——"

"Stop!" Good Duck yelled.

"What? Isn't this a picnic site?" Shen Ye said blankly.

"Damn you, I brought you here specifically to save the situation - this city is about to be destroyed by the monsters from the world D-0314."

"You must save this city!"

Good Duck yelled.

Shen Ye glanced at the Duck King, then looked at the professionals below the altar, and sneered:
"Just these people? Asking me to contribute? Why?"

His attitude angered the professionals.

A professional jumped up and shouted: "You little brat, who the hell do you think you are--"

Clang!
Before he could finish his words, the professional was hit by a flash of sword light, his armor was shattered, and he flew seven or eight meters away.

The professional stood still and touched himself up and down.

Not injured!
The opponent cut through all his defenses with one sword, sending him flying seven or eight meters away, but he did not suffer any harm at all.

What a skill this is!
Think carefully again -

Did he just draw his knife?
I didn’t see it.

I have no memory of the other party drawing the knife.

I don't remember this happening.

But he was really cut so far away.

--wrong!
The professional looked down again.

His armor was intact and he was back to where he had just stood.

"Just now--"

The professional subconsciously asked his companions.

The companion's face was filled with uncontrollable fear, and he whispered:
"I remember you were beheaded, but you are still standing here. I don't know if there is something wrong with my memory or if you really weren't beheaded."

"Yes, he was chopped off." Another person said. "No, you see he is still here, at least I don't remember him being chopped off." Another person said.

Was it beheaded or not?

There were many different opinions and discussions arose.

But soon.

Everything fell into silence again.

——Even if he was killed or not, these people couldn’t figure it out.

This man's swordsmanship is simply terrifying!

"I have shown mercy. If you continue to speak rudely, I will kill you all."

Shen Ye sneered.

Everyone was speechless.

No one dared to answer.

Peasso's voice rang in Shen Ye's heart:
"It has taken too long to build the altar."

"Don't play them anymore, or else when the monsters come, you won't even have time to defend yourself."

"——The monster came here specifically to kill you!"

Good Duck jumped up immediately and said loudly:
"Everyone!"

"No need to say more. If you want to survive, gather all the resources in the city and invite this great master to take charge."

"——You only have this one chance to survive!"

"If you won't pay—"

"He could leave at any time."

"I'll leave too!"

"Make a decision quickly, otherwise the monsters will come and you won't even have time to defend yourself!"

What else is there to say?

A leading professional stood up and saluted towards Shen Ye:

"Please help us, sir."

"We are willing to sacrifice all the remaining resources in this city just for a chance to survive."

Shen Ye didn't look at him, but turned to look at Hao Yaya.

Good Duck Duck spitted and said loudly:
"Do you remember that I saved you once at the Daming Lake twenty years ago? You should stay this time as a way of repaying the favor."

Shen Ye said unhappily: "Humph... you duck, always using favors to make excuses."

"Stay?" asked Good Duck.

"Okay!" Shen Ye said reluctantly.

Good Duck cheered immediately.

The other professionals felt relieved when they saw that this man with terrifying swordsmanship was willing to stay and fight.

"Everyone, act according to the original plan!" Good Duck shouted.

The crowd moved.

Some people went to collect resources and present them to Shen Ye.

Another group of people were responsible for the preparations for the sacrificial ceremony.

Others activated all remaining defense measures in the city.

A few minutes later.

The sacrificial ceremony begins.

The sacrificial ritual was completed step by step, and then Augustus's body full of tentacles was taken out.

A tentacle of.

Sacrifice!

boom--

As Hao Ya Ya chanted his spell, endless dark flames reflected in the sky like the sea.

A majestic will descended and reached out to the tentacle.

An invisible thought suddenly appeared in everyone's mind:

"not enough."

"In the entire city, we only cut off this one tentacle. It's really—"

Snapped!
Shen Ye cut off seven or eight more tentacles and threw them into the altar.

That thought suddenly changed:
"This city is built to keep those guys out."

“I had already given up.”

"But in consideration of your achievements—"

"You can continue to exist, and the city will continue to be protected, and you can exert the power of destruction."

boom! ! !
The whole city was engulfed in dark flames.

The fire would not burn anyone, but it would restore the destroyed buildings to their original state.

"The functions of the large artillery turret have all been restored!"

"The space transfer wave has condensed on the teleportation platform, and it can now teleport troops again!"

"The Tower of Destruction begins to release the power of destruction once again!"

"Weapons inventory is full again!"

Everyone reported quickly.

Shen Ye was a little surprised.

Sacrifice

Make sacrifices in exchange for the coming of the will of destruction and repair various facilities in the city.

This is good, and it improves the overall combat effectiveness of the city.

But why does it feel familiar?

A flash of inspiration passed through Shen Ye's mind.

He felt as if he had been electrocuted and froze in place.

Yes.

His own throne of endless destruction——

That’s true too!
Each creation represents the power of its owner.

But he only condensed three creations.

They are the Digging Arsenal, the Truth Destruction Cannon, and the Inquisition!

What about the will to destroy?
It has many main gods, countless cities, and each city has countless combat buildings!
——But in the final analysis, the path is the same!
If one day.

The Throne of Endless Destruction surpasses the Great Destruction—

So what?

Should I be the one to represent the destruction of the catastrophe?
Shen Ye put his thoughts aside and carefully observed the restored buildings.

Last time.

All the combat buildings in the city were destroyed.

That being the case.

What's the point of them recovering again?

If they meet the same monster from last time, the only outcome will be destruction again!
This is not possible!

Those monsters are chasing me!

Shen Ye threw most of the octopus—no, most of Augustus’ body—into the altar and said loudly:
"The monsters from that world will attack again soon. As servants of destruction, we don't want to fail again."

“We don’t want to be stepped on by monsters, pointing at us and saying:”

"'Look, the men under the Will of Destruction are all a bunch of trash'!"

The words fell.

In the altar.

Most of Augustus' body was missing.

Rumble, rumble——

in the city.

New combat buildings are rising from the ground.

They exude a ferocious destructive force, and their power fluctuations far exceed those of the previous buildings.

A great will descended upon Shen Ye's heart, releasing a message:
"The city's combat power has tripled!"

"If you can give me the intact body, I will grant you a special ability!"

"No problem, here you go!" Shen Ye said happily.

He threw all the remaining octopus carcasses on the altar.

——Anyway, Augustus’ withering elements have been sucked out by himself, and his soul continues to work in the Dharma image.

A mere corpse is of no use.

……Wait a moment.

I seem to have forgotten something extremely important.

Fortunately, I remembered it now.

Shen Ye tried his best to remain calm, standing on the altar and quietly waiting for the reaction of the will of destruction.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The octopus carcass was gone.

The will of the great catastrophe of destruction responded again:

"The sacrifice is of a very high level."

"I have decided to grant you the 'Shield of Destruction'."

"——The shield technique can be used twice."

"Each time you use it, you can completely negate the full force attack of any being that is no more than three hundred times your strength."

"Defend this city."

Shen Ye immediately said: "Can you arrange some reinforcements? There are too few professionals in this city. If more people can join the battle——"

“No one will come,” the Will of Destruction said in a voice transmission, “This is a place I have abandoned. If you cannot defend it, then flee.”

"remember."

"All you really need to do is offer more sacrifices to me."

"If you do this, I will give you more power!"

All messages delivered.

For an instant.

The dark flames in the sky disappeared.

The will to destroy left.

Only Shen Ye and Ya Ya stood on the altar.

escape……

The will of destruction has abandoned this city!

It makes me run away if I can't fight it!
Damn it.

The city was abandoned before the war even began.

Is the enemy very powerful?
Shen Ye pondered.

He suddenly found that people around him were cheering.

People are looking at themselves.

Shen Ye looked down and saw that he was covered with a layer of illusory black flames, which made him look very majestic.

"This is a technique bestowed by the will of the great catastrophe himself!"

"My Lord, you have received the blessing of the great calamity, which means we still have hope!"

"Please give us orders!"

"We will fight with all our might!"

The professionals greeted him.

Shen Ye came back to his senses.

The "special effect" on this body is actually the "Shield of Destruction and Shelter".

Whatever.

Since it can bring everyone together, let’s have a good fight.

"Duck, quickly find someone to lead you to enlighten all the buildings."

Shen Ye said.

"Yes!" Hao Yaya shouted, and then left with his men.

——The "Behind the Scenes" entry has been upgraded to the next level, which is just enough to give prefixes and suffixes to each building.

Thus--

The combat effectiveness of the entire city will be enhanced again.

At last.

As for my own side.

"Fei Lun."

Shen Ye called quietly.

"What's the matter?" The big skeleton's puzzled voice sounded.

"Here, have some of this."

Shen Ye whispered.

"Pervert, this is so disgusting, why do you want to eat this kind of stuff?" said the big skeleton with disgust.

"Damn it, I'm doing this for your own good."

"I can't see it."

"Can't you transform anything you eat?"

"yes?"

Shen Ye said softly:
"Eat a mouthful of brains and turn into a river of brains, don't you want to——"

There was a moment of silence.

The big skeleton shouted:
"Eat! My ancestors! Even if I have to vomit, I will eat it and then vomit!"

Yes.

Originally speaking, beings of the Big Skeleton's level would never have the chance to eat the brains of the Multi-Brain River.

The gap is too big.

There is not even a chance to meet.

But he won with one sword, beating Duonaohe and becoming the "No. 1 Duck" in history!
So this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

It can eat brains!
in case……

I wish I had a trustworthy multi-brained person by my side...

"Don't worry, I'll make a hot pot for you, it won't taste bad."

"Then I want spicy flavor."

"Sure, anything to drink?"

"Let's have some beer. Don't you humans drink beer when you eat hot pot?"

boom! ! !
A spell hit the city.

The whole city shook.

"My Lord! The monsters are coming——"

Someone reported hurriedly.

"Okay, you guys defend first," Shen Ye said seriously, "I'll make some hot pot and come right over!"
