Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 587 Fighting in the air!

Ice Coke!
cigarette!

Take a sip, take a puff.

Like a god!

The panda was lying on the roof outside the zoo, crossing his legs and smoking a cigarette comfortably.

Life--

This is what makes it taste good.

Next, it’s time for me to be a hero.

Special training!

Go through high-intensity special training to allow your soul characteristics to further penetrate into your abilities and stimulate their development to a higher level.

This is something that must be done!

After all, I just went to help Shen Ye and found out that the enemy's door ability is extremely powerful.

The gap is too big.

It's so big that I can confirm it just by feeling.

Unmatched.

——Even Shen Ye’s door ability is higher than his level.

This is not possible!

Let’s go and improve our abilities!

The panda stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly stretched out his paw and touched his belly involuntarily.

...Why am I a little hungry?
Whatever.

I'll go eat something first, like hotpot and hamburgers, and then play a few games online.

Training?

Let's postpone it.

Just do it!

As the panda was thinking, he suddenly saw lines of small green characters appearing in front of him:

"The multi-layered universe has taken a big step forward in our understanding of the capabilities of doors."

"As a user of the Gate ability, you have received a gift from the universe."

"Should we use the overall improvement of the universe to strengthen our own gate abilities?"

"Please note."

"This enhancement is destined to raise the gate's ability to level 1."

"whether."

——Is there such a good thing?

The panda was overjoyed and nodded immediately:

"Yes!"

next moment.

The door of its "safe house" automatically appeared, emitting regular fluctuations of power.

The panda understood it immediately.

——This requires your own cooperation in order to improve.

"Come!"

Without hesitation, the panda pressed its paw against the door.

The door vibrated.

Lines of small green characters appeared on the door:
"You have agreed to enhance the gate's capabilities."

"The current mandatory ascension mission into the multi-layer universe:"

"Large epic gate mission:"

"Meet at the peak."

"Description: The gate's ability is about to be enhanced, but you, as the master of the ability, are too fat and too weak."

"The multi-layer universe is currently at a critical moment of life and death, so you must adjust yourself."

"Please complete the sub-task immediately:"

“Initial warm-up.”

"Eight million punches, sixty million tumbles, and one hundred and twenty million fat-lowering Pilates exercises."

"After completing it, you can continue the 'Meet at the Peak' mission."

After reading it, the panda couldn't help but laugh.

"This kind of thing should be borne by someone like Shen Ye who likes to endure hardships."

"I—"

"I'll improve slowly and let nature take its course."

Panda shook his head, took out his cell phone, and prepared to find a hot pot restaurant with high ratings.

But the next second——

Big bright red characters suddenly appeared before its eyes:

"warn!"

"You have now agreed to undertake the cosmic mission of 'Meet at the Peak'."

"If you fail to complete the mission within a certain period of time, the will of the universe will take back your gate ability and give it to someone else. As for your fate——"

"You will be obliterated!"

The panda was stunned and couldn't help muttering:
"Are you kidding..."

Before he could finish his words, a strong light suddenly burst out from his door.

The light flew into the void, as if preparing to leave.

——This is the ability that is transforming into pure talent source and leaving the panda’s body!
Once the door is completely gone, the next step is to obliterate it!
"I'll do it! It's not enough for me to do it!"

The panda jumped up and threw himself into the training in a panic.

Eight million punches!

Sixty million tumbles!

One hundred and twenty million times of fat-lowering Pilates exercises!

——If you fail to complete it, you will die!
The panda gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth, and began to punch with all his might.

Damn it!
how so!
I should have known not to agree!
It started exercising with sweat pouring down its cheeks.

the other side.

Destroy the camp.

In a huge destroyed city.

Chiron and Shen Ye arrived quietly.

This is Kaylon's territory.

The two of them appeared directly in Kairon's palace.

"Finally back safely - I'm going to check what's happened recently - what about you?"

Kairon asked.

"Don't worry about me, contact me anytime if you have any questions." Shen Ye said.

He stared into the void, as if sensing something.

"Well, you can order the servants here around. Just tell them if you need anything."

"—keep in touch."

Kairon said, and then he disappeared.

Only Shen Ye was left standing alone in the corridor of the palace, walking slowly, his eyes fixed on the void, as if he was looking at something.

The small words had been floating before his eyes for a long time:

"You activated the term 'Rod-Off', targeting Old John."

"A sentry has been established on Old John."

"Observing target."

Shen Ye watched and waited quietly.

—Can this old John find his own sentry post?
What is he doing at this moment?
Old John appeared quietly in a remote place in the dream world.

"Double-edged Sword..."

"This sword technique does not exist."

"But this sword technique combines many principles, at least four."

Old John held a short silver staff in his hand.

It is called a short staff, but in fact it is engraved with lines of rapidly changing small characters.

The small print is constantly refreshing.

The three characters "Double-Handed Mandarin Duck Blade" changed to "Double-Handed Mandarin Duck Blade, Continuous Double-Handed Mandarin Duck Blade, Dream Soul Double-Handed Mandarin Duck Blade..."

Countless options and move names appeared on the short staff.

But the small characters never stopped.

——It seemed that the silver short staff was a little hesitant and could not confirm the name of the move.

Wait a moment.

Why are you confirming the name of my sword technique?
Shen Ye was curious and even had a strange feeling.

just like--

If the other party finds out the name of the sword technique, something unimaginable will happen to him.

"stop."

Old John suddenly spoke.

All the small words on the silver short staff disappeared.

The old man in a tuxedo and with white hair grinned and said in a grim tone:
"what is this?"

"—using the power of a word to monitor me in my body?"

Shen Ye's heart sank, and then he felt a little horrified.

He found it!

It can actually be discovered!

I remember clearly that the entry "those who lose their fishing rods" has a description:

"Unless the opponent has a Saint-level entry, or you proactively tell him, he will not be able to detect the sentry you placed on him."

Old John has a Saint-level entry!

——What kind of existence is this guy!
Chatelet's voice suddenly rang out:

"Be careful - I mean, if it really doesn't work, we must immediately return to the world of truth and hide deep in the land of truth."

"Why?" Shen Ye asked.

"Only saints can obtain 'Saint' level entries, Shen Ye."

Chatelet tried to keep his voice steady.

Shen Ye was a little confused.

saint?

Damn it, you are a saint, why are you trying to trade your abilities with me?
What do you want that you can't get?
...I really don’t understand.

On the other side, the wrinkles of human skin on Old John's face bent into shape, as if he was smiling, or as if he saw a plate of food placed in front of him and was about to eat.

"Interesting entry... But do you think you can monitor me with this entry?"

Old John said.

Shen Ye remained silent.

"Of course, I can destroy this entry at any time, but I will let you watch right before your eyes as your moves completely disappear."

"Not only that."

"I will completely deprive you of everything."

After Old John finished speaking, he ignored the "sentinel" on his body and continued to wave the silver short staff, saying:
"There is a sword technique."

"With dreams and time..."

He paused for a moment and continued:
"There should also be the law of death, and the last law."

Old John fell into deep thought.

the other side.

Shen Ye heard Chateli's urgent voice:
"Think of a solution quickly."

"If he guesses your sword skills, I'm afraid something extremely unfavorable will happen to you."

"I know." Shen Ye said.

But the next moment——

In the dream world, Old John has deduced the principles and rules of swordsmanship:
"The last law is control."

"Then, double-blade continuous slashing, repeating the four principles..."

Old John held the silver short staff in one hand, raised it high, and roared:
"Search for this type of knife skills immediately."

"——As long as it exists, it must be presented!"

On the silver short staff, countless small words kept changing wildly.

But as time goes by——

Still unable to search successfully.

Old John looked surprised, thought about it for a moment, and then understood.

A surge of murderous intent suddenly burst out from his whole body.

"It's not a double-sword slash!"

“Neither are there four laws!”

"When you struck me with the sword, you actually held back and didn't use your full strength?"

"...After so many years, I never thought that someone would dare to hold back in front of me."

His murderous intent was almost tangible, causing bottomless cracks to appear on the surrounding ground.

Shen Ye felt it.

But Shen Ye remained silent and listened to the other party continue:

"So you're humiliating me with this?"

"Yes." Shen Ye said.

Old John didn't expect him to be so direct and was stunned for a moment.

"It's just to humiliate you."

Shen Ye added.

The two sides are now in a situation where they will fight to the death!

under these circumstances.

——Admission is also a kind of confusion!
Provoking anger is the only strategy left!
Otherwise, the other party might notice another fact——

Yes.

I deliberately said double slash just to mislead the opponent.

In fact.

The core of this revolving lantern style is three consecutive slashes.

Young Shen Ye, young Shen Ye, original spirit body——

Take turns to use the knife.

Repeat this cycle so that dreams will never stop.

So Augustus, the old blind man and even Austrian Jia were unable to break free!

Because after breaking free of one layer, there are still two layers; after breaking free of two layers, the broken ones will be restored again, and this cycle will continue endlessly.

When I killed Old John, I didn't hold back, but subconsciously tested him. Why did I test him instead of going all out?
Shen Ye suddenly asked himself.

...That's right.

Test him yourself.

——It is impossible to use one’s full strength in a probing move.

Because in the dark, I felt the other party's strength, and subconsciously felt that -

Even if he used all his strength, he could not defeat the opponent.

This is the answer!
So my strategy is:
Delay the time.

——To delay time, there is naturally no need to fight with all your strength.

It is also subconsciously to prevent the other party from obtaining one's real information.

——So Old John deduced two knives and four laws, but it was still not the true face of this move!
Because I didn't use my full strength.

Who would have thought——

This is actually my lifeline!!!
Shen Ye felt a little emotional.

A strategic choice in battle actually determines one's life or death.

saint.

It really exceeded my imagination.

After receiving a blow from the sword, this "Old John" was able to guess the origins of several principles involved in the sword technique.

It's so creepy!
Shen Ye's heart suddenly skipped a beat——

In fact, I have some experience in searching for intelligence.

When searching, if some content cannot be found, what will you do?
——Try entering similar search data.

such as.

Double slashes were changed to triple slashes and quadruple slashes.

If this scary guy wanted to try his luck, wouldn't he be able to discover the truth?

To be on the safe side -

Shen Ye suddenly drew out his long sword and slashed at himself with all his strength!
Revolving lantern!
He now needs time to evolve his swordsmanship again so that the opponent will not be able to guess the truth of this sword.

In the void.

A clock suddenly popped out:

"You cut out another three thousand years of time flow?"

"Notice!"

"Your sword skills have become strong enough to reach the level of supervision of the World of Time."

"——You must decide as soon as possible whether to accept the conditions of the Saint of Time."

"Otherwise, next time you use sword skills, you won't be able to call upon the power of the law of time normally!"

After the clock finished speaking, it disappeared into the void.

next moment.

Shen Ye returned to normal.

In the time stream opened up by that sword, he spent another three thousand years honing his sword skills.

Small words appeared quietly in the dim light:

"Your swordsmanship has reached a new level."

"The upper limit of this sword technique has been locked and cannot be further improved."

"——Unless you obtain permission from the three laws of time, death, and control, you can continue to call upon the power of laws on a larger scale!"

"Also, you can no longer use the Law of Time on yourself."

"Unless the requirements of the Saint of Time are met."

Clang——

After completing the slashing move, the sword was put back into the sheath.

Three thousand years passed in a flash.

Shen Ye silently experienced the changes in his strength.

Three thousand years.

Most of the time was spent on honing his sword skills because he was indeed facing the threat from Old John.

As for the overall attribute strength, it has only been upgraded to the sixteenth level of truth.

——It would be great if we could do it again!
But the power of the swordsmanship was noticed, and the master of the law of time would not allow himself to do so again.

The Sage of Time wants to control all of humanity!

How could I agree to this?

Shen Ye felt slightly regretful.

Can't talk.

I can’t improve my swordsmanship any more!

These things sound slow, but they only took the time of a knife.

A knife.

It took less than a second.

The second hand slowly jumps one tick——

opposite.

Old John suddenly spoke up and asked tentatively, "Are there more than four laws?"

"Five kinds?"

"Six kinds?"

"Seven?"

He patiently tested again and again.

The small words on the silver short staff rolled wildly but could not stop.

--wrong!
There's no way that kid can surpass seven laws.

The direction is wrong!

Old John was silent for a moment, then spoke again:

"The four laws remain unchanged—"

"The method of beheading not only two people, but three people?"

"Four people?"

"Five?"

"six people?"

“…There can’t be any more!”

"how come!"

Old John's expression became more and more ferocious. He paused and said sternly:

"Improvement?"

"You cut yourself with a sword and then practiced to improve your swordsmanship, right?"

You've got it!
Shen Ye was shocked.

This old guy can really do it!
He actually guessed the reason that he couldn't guess!

——What kind of monster is this!

"Hahaha, it must be like this! It must be like this!"

Old John burst into a strange "chuckle" and twisted his body continuously. It seemed that he was about to break free from his human "appearance" and turn back into his original appearance!
But in a moment.

He suddenly became polite again, and said in an elegant and indifferent tone:

"Your swordsmanship should have reached its limit."

"Unless you obtain permission from the major laws and reach an agreement with the saints who govern them, you can continue to improve your swordsmanship."

"That is to say——"

"Next time we meet, I will be able to master any move you make."

"And your moves can no longer be changed."

Got it right again!

Old John clapped his hands and continued:

"You can create such a sword technique. You are indeed a hero. Even among the king-level beings - I guess - you should be the top one."

"But please trust me."

"you will die."

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The sentry screen is interrupted.

Shen Ye could no longer see what was happening on the other side.

Only a line of small, dim words quietly appeared before his eyes:
"The other party activated an unknown 'Saint' level Myriad Worlds entry, breaking your 'Escape' and destroying the outpost you set up."

In the palace of destruction.

A breeze blew by.

Shen Ye stood in the wind, looking somewhat solemn.

"Don't worry," Chatelaine's voice sounded, "The D-0314 world and the catastrophe of destruction have enveloped the eternal world, and the world of truth is hidden behind the eternal world."

"As long as you return to the world of truth, the other party will not be able to find you."

"That's what it looks like on the surface," Shen Ye said.

"On the surface?" asked Chatelet.

"Because I don't know what other tricks this old John has." Shen Ye said.

now.

Adrian, the God of Destruction, is visiting the dream world.

Although he had provoked the conflict between him and Ulric, the King of Dreams, if Old John interfered -

Who knows what will happen?
If the God of Destruction is dealt with, then he will be able to enter the world of truth immediately.

Never take it lightly!

Also.

His swordsmanship has improved by another three thousand years.

But the other party's tone seemed to be not concerned at all, and one could even say -

The opponent was sure that his improved sword would not pose a threat to his life.

and so.

Who exactly is this Old John?

Why in the dream world, following the King of Dreams?

No.

I need intelligence.

Not only intelligence—

I still need to further improve my strength!
Shen Ye pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke:

"We must help Kaylon further."

"why?"

The sound of the Chaos Boat sounded.

"Based on Old John's strength, he is actually the one who controls the dream world."

"I'm worried that he'll unite the Dream World with Adrian."

"Then we would have no barrier."

"——Kairon must have the power to destroy the catastrophe!"

The moment he spoke.

Dream world.

Old John has come before Ulrich, the King of Dreams.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"explain."

"The assassin has been caught. He doesn't seem to have any connection with Adrian—I tortured him myself."

"Really? Bring it up."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

the other side.

Control side world.

After a day's work -

Good Duck is exhausted both physically and mentally.

However, the distant fight that took place in the dream world left it with no time to rest.

It doesn't want to rest either.

"I thought you were the only one who could perform search spells?"

Good Duck murmured.

A noble emblem of entropy appeared in front of Good Duck.

It pondered for a few breaths, then said:

"How many entropy points do I have now?"

"Three million," the emblem responded.

"I need answers to my questions." said Good Duck.

The emblem rang again:

"Okay, answering questions and solving problems also fall under the category of intelligence. Please tell me what intelligence you are looking for."

Good Duck cleared his throat and said:

"What I'm searching for is: 'How can I obtain intelligence about the target I want to search for at the lowest cost?'"

"——The 'target' here is the 'target' I searched in the archive last time."

"Please start searching."

The emblem was silent for a moment.

Ding!
"You can pay two million entropy points and search for all the information about the 'Dream Collapse War'."

"The name of that person will be hidden and marked with a red '?' to avoid alerting him."

"This information is the answer you are looking for."

"This search is worth 200 entropy points."

"200 entropy points have been deducted."

Good Duck flaps its wings:

"Pay two million entropy points and search for 'Dream Collapse Battle' immediately!"

"The top secret files are being collected. Please wait!"

"——The staff who collected the files for you would like to obtain your autographed photo, respected entertainment supernova: Mr. Yada Yada."

Good Duck immediately put on a friendly expression and said in a gentle voice:

"no problem--"

"Bring me my legendary autograph pen."

"Also please tell my fans that I love them and thank them for their support."
