Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 591 Ancient Blade
Knife.

A knife appeared silently.

The blurry shadow of the knife passed across the monster's head, and then lightly split into seven or eight afterimages.

When the blood mist exploded.

The man and the knife appeared dozens of meters away.

Clang!
The long sword returns to its sheath.

Shen Ye walked back and looked carefully at the corpse on the ground.

"That strike you made just now was good."

Chaos Boat Theory.

"Of course it's good." Shen Ye said.

"But why did you fly dozens of meters away after you made the cut?" asked the Chaos Boat.

"Why not?" Shen Ye asked back.

"Look, you fly out, and then you have to walk back to check the body."

"That can't be helped—I don't want the monster's blood on me."

"You are also very hygienic."

"Because I'm here to eat."

the other side.

Haoyaya has obtained Shen Ye’s memory and is quickly searching:

"Emblem!"

"A monster with two pairs of compound eyes, a long body, eight legs, black muscle tissue, good at attacking, and can use the power of the law to travel through space."

"check!"

A voice sounded from the emblem:
"This query requires 70 entropy points; if you do a deep query, you'll need 1000 entropy points."

"Money is a small matter, check it out for me clearly!" said Hao Yaya proudly.

A moment.

The query results are out.

In the pale world.

Shen Ye was squatting on the ground eating his lunch box.

When Good Duck's memory came back, he wiped his mouth and couldn't help but whisper to himself:

"A monster that only appears in the Pale World?"

"It's a group combat unit. If you kill one, a group of them will appear. Their collective skill is the same frequency resonance annihilation method."

"so troublesome……"

He suddenly drew out his knife and slashed out long and short knife shadows in the air.

shhhhh--

Monsters emerged from the void one after another and were chopped into several pieces by the sword shadows.

But more and more monsters appeared.

The knife is fast.

Strange as the sea.

Ordinary slashing attacks will eventually not be enough to kill all the enemies.

a moment.

As soon as seven or eight monsters appeared, they immediately hid far away and burst into the sound of "Gu-Hu-Hu" in unison.

The void suddenly vibrated.

Invisible forces gathered from all directions and attacked Shen Ye from all angles.

“Good move.”

Shen Ye praised, put away the knife and held his breath, and suddenly the knife and his hands disappeared for a moment.

——Swordsmanship·Revolving Lantern!

All of a sudden.

Everything became extremely slow.

The eight resonating monsters were drawn by the sword's will and taken into the Dharma image of "Liang Yi Si Hun", and they went through an endless cycle of life and death.

Once the monster is gone, the resonance technique will naturally dissipate.

The long sword once again turned into dense sword shadows of varying lengths, killing the monsters that appeared later one by one.

Sudden.

Shen Ye's expression condensed.

He stepped back a few steps and shouted:

"Uncle Qi, help me hold it up for a while."

Uncle Seven immediately took over his position, clasped his hands into a magic seal, and said loudly:

"Just eat your meal. I will teach them how to offer sacrifices."

The powerful force of truth emanated from Uncle Seven's magic seal, freezing all the monsters in place.

——The truth is suppressed!
Uncle Seven’s strength has been steadily improving and has now reached the nineteenth level.

The main reason he was able to reach this point was that he had always been with several of the most powerful creatures of truth.

Out of consideration for Shen Ye, Chatelet took good care of him; Su Su was used to eating food made by her seventh uncle, and would sometimes give him some pointers.

In addition, Uncle Seven is a nice, honest person who is enthusiastic about his work.

Even a cunning boat like the Chaos Boat often gave him some advice.

At this time, Uncle Seven stepped forward and naturally suppressed thousands of monsters easily.

Shen Ye was able to finish his lunch box and drink a bottle of orange juice before walking towards the battlefield with a knife in hand.

He was about to enter the battle, but suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

Uncle Seven asked.

"The swordsmanship is restricted—the law of time has been taken away." Shen Ye said in surprise.

It seems.

The Sage of Time doesn't give me a chance.

It’s okay, it’s the same if you use other rules.

Shen Ye was just about to take action.

But I saw lines of faint small words appearing in the void:

"You are under some kind of restriction."

"The current situation is unclear, but from now on, you can only use one rule each time you make a move."

Restricted!
Shen Ye simply used the law of "death" and his long sword turned into a black light, slashing hundreds of times in an instant.

——Double slash of world destruction!
This is a sword technique from the destructive side, used to release the law of death, and the compatibility is just right!
The surroundings suddenly became empty.

Most of those monsters were killed by him and his Seventh Uncle. Their corpses fell from the air like dumplings in a pot.

The remaining monsters immediately began to flee.

Good Duck suddenly sent over a new piece of information.

——After these monsters are defeated, another type of monster will come immediately.

That is a monster with a higher level of evolution and greater strength!

The battle will continue without stopping.

by the way.

It has been a long time since anyone dared to challenge the Pale World.

Because there are so many monsters here and they are so dense, they even formed an offensive and defensive alliance!

Shen Ye looked at his memory with a puzzled look on his face.

"That's not quite right..."

he whispered.

In fact.

According to the most basic law of the jungle.

How could a powerful monster form an alliance with a low-level monster?

It should be slave mode!

At least it should be "rule" rather than "alliance".

Rumbling--

The earth shook.

A giant man covered in black emerged from the ground.

"Query——" Shen Ye said.

same moment.

Good Duck yelled, "Look up a black giant. It belongs to the Pale World. I want all its information!"

The giant rushed towards Shen Ye with heavy steps.

Shen Ye raised his long sword.

But the law of death lingering on the long sword also disappeared.

Facing this monster, the Law of Death went out of control——

It doesn't work anymore!
The power of the long sword disappeared instantly.

"help?"

The Chaos Boat spoke.

"No, I need to check something." Shen Ye said.

He held the long sword horizontally, holding his breath and waiting for the black giant to approach step by step.

The giant opened his mouth, as if he was about to spit out something.

This is the moment!

With a shake of the long sword, the whole world suddenly turned into endless lines, running at an extremely fast speed.

——The scattered flowers!
This sword technique does not possess the four principles, but it possesses the power of destiny.

Well known.

In the universe, no one is so arrogant as to dare to monopolize the laws of destiny!
Even the Void Saint does not dare to control fate easily.

The law of fate is unpredictable and can easily backfire!

The long knife continued to move along a line, and finally slashed towards the end of the line -

when!
There was a loud noise.

The black giant's iron fist collided with the long sword.

Shen Ye flew back like a cannonball and crashed into the ground.

"Pooh."

He spat out a mouthful of blood foam, jumped up and continued to observe the giant.

"You're already vomiting blood, and you still want to fight alone?" Chaos Boat whispered.

"It's okay." Shen Ye said.

He looked into the void, looking at the lines of dim words that had just appeared:

"You used the term 'Mandala Ouroboros' to absorb the elements of the other party in the collision just now."

"Do you want to use this element immediately?"

——The move just now was to absorb the elements!

That's why Shen Ye had to take action himself.

Shen Ye spread out his hands.

I saw a ball of free gray mist floating on my hand.

It is an element of the giant.

but--

What exactly is this factor?
"give me back!"

The black giant roared, his muscles swelled, and his whole body became even more huge.

Its momentum reached its peak, and it spit out a breath of dark light towards Shen Ye with all its strength.

Magic attack——

——This is a life-and-death blow!
Shen Ye's pupils suddenly shrank, and the long sword in his hand trembled.

The dimly lit characters suddenly appeared:

"You used the laws of 'dream' and 'control'."

"The revolving lantern takes shape again."

"But after losing the laws of 'time' and 'death', this knife is no longer complete."

All of a sudden.

The long sword pierced through the giant's body.

The knife's intention suddenly changed.

——The scattered flowers!
One after another, illusory lines appeared from the void and were entangled and stretched by the blade.

The revolving lantern and the scattered flowers are cut together!

Even when facing Old John, Shen Ye did not use both sword techniques with his full strength!
This time, he tried his best.

The gray light ball suddenly disappeared, and the black giant took a few steps and then froze in place.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

the giant asked with a buzzing sound.

"A knife technique that kills people." Shen Ye said.

"No, your swordsmanship has clearly lost two laws - I have never seen a swordsmanship with four laws - and also added a new law." said the giant.

"The law of destiny has been supplemented." Shen Ye explained.

"Unheard of." The giant sighed.

It slowly knelt on the ground.

Dense blood lines emerged from its body surface and gradually expanded——

The shrill sound of swords echoed around it.

The huge body of the black giant was instantly dismembered into a pile of broken flesh.

It's dead.

There was no joy of victory on Shen Ye's face. Instead, he stood still with the knife in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.

next moment.

The small words appeared again:

"Your 'dream' rules are no longer valid."

Now, only the laws of 'control' and 'fate' are available.

strangeness……

Why do the rules fail one after another?
Could it be that the law of 'pale' can restrain the laws of 'death', 'time' and so on?

Shen Ye was puzzled.

A moment.

Lines of dim words quietly appeared before Shen Ye's eyes:
"You have the element of a monster."

"The death of the current monster activates the elements and begins to summon higher-level beings."

"The power of seven terms converges here, attempting to extract this element from you."

"Your entry 'Mandala Ouroboros' has a higher level. Stimulated by this, it suddenly increased by five levels again, suppressing and invalidating the seven entries!"

what?
There are actually seven items working together to extract the giant element from me?
Fortunately, I have "Mandala Ouroboros"!
This entry has exceeded the upper limit of the world of truth and stands at an unprecedented height.

So the enemy cannot extract that element.

In the dark.

Shen Ye felt as if he was about to grasp something.

The monsters' combat mechanism is very clever——

That element seems to be able to accurately detect the life and death of the enemy, and activate it immediately to summon stronger fighters.

But there are two problems here.

one,

Why did I lose the power of the law?
two,

Since the enemy is an ally, why not send the most powerful one to kill me directly?

As he was thinking, he heard Chatelet's voice:
"Su Su can also activate that element in you - do you want to go and see for yourself?"

"Go." Shen Ye said.

"Get ready to teleport. I have to add that I can't guarantee where you will be teleported to." Su Su said.

"No problem. I won't blame you even if I die. Let me go and take a look." Shen Ye said.

next second.

He sensed the fluctuation of that element, and then—

Swish!
The world passed by in a flash.

Shen Ye found himself in a completely sealed underground square.

The very center of the square.

A sealed coffin stood motionless, with various runes engraved on the surface of the wood.

As soon as Shen Ye appeared, he immediately sensed that the power of the element in his hand began to boil, as if it was ready to leave his body at any time.

"go."

Shen Ye simply let it go.

clap clap clap-

There were several sounds in succession.

All the seals on the surface of the coffin have been opened!
boom!
The coffin lid slowly fell down.

A monster came out from it.

This is a "praying mantis"-shaped monster with two heads, four arms, and sharp bone blades all over its body.

Judging from the power fluctuations emanating from it alone—

It's stronger than any previous monster!
——When this monster appeared, Shen Ye immediately sensed something.

He raised his long knife.

The endless threads of law that were lingering on the long sword suddenly dried up.

The law of "control" has failed!

just now.

Shen Ye was no longer able to call upon the power of the four laws to fight, nor could he unleash the power of the "revolving lantern".

"Something's wrong."

Chateli suddenly spoke up.

"If we can suppress the enemy's laws, wouldn't we be invincible? Is the Pale World so powerful?" Su Su also said.

"This is too weird - there is only one solution for now," said Chaos Boat.

"What?" asked Uncle Seven.

"Run." said the Chaos Boat.

"Go to hell." Su Su and Uncle Seven said in unison.

The monster let out sharp cries that became louder and louder and looked towards Shen Ye.

Shen Ye suddenly said:

"You guys help me hold it up, I'll go do something else."

"it is good."

Chatelet appeared with Su Su and Uncle Seven.

Chaos Boat said, "I'll accompany you, at least I can take care of you."

"it is good."

Shen Ye didn't say much, he just shouted "door", walked in, and disappeared.

The surface of the pale world.

——On an abandoned high tower, at the top of the tower, a spiritual door suddenly appeared.

Shen Ye walked out and looked at the incomplete portrait on the wall.

He tore the portrait apart.

A pile of bones suddenly fell out.

It's the messenger's skeleton!

Shen Ye chanted a spell and began to perform the "disaster resurrection" technique.

Small words kept appearing in the dim light:

"The laws you possess are being completely sealed."

"'Cataclysm Resurrection' is the power of the Destruction Faction and does not belong to other laws."

"This resurrection spell will not be sealed!"

All the bones suddenly took shape, and flesh, blood, hair and facial features all grew out.

"what!"

"Alive!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

——It’s the Messenger and the King of Hearts!

"Wait a moment, I'll come to ward off the disaster, we'll talk later." Shen Ye said.

"Don't be nervous." The messenger looked at the expression on Shen Ye's face and waved his hand, saying, "We took your stress into consideration, so they choked to death while drinking water together."

"This is easy to deal with. Just spit out the water." said the King of Hearts.

Shen Ye indeed found that his mouth and throat were filled with water.

——These mission cards are quite thoughtful.

He spit out all the water and said, "I found a problem."

"What's the problem?" asked the Courier.

Shen Ye recounted the entire battle process.

The two cards fell into deep thought.

"What do you think?" the Courier asked.

"We can't help it. Although there may be some secrets here, our mission is 'Eternity' and our goal is to meet the 'Pale King'. We don't have the time to split ourselves up to investigate the monster."

The King of Hearts said solemnly.

"It's difficult to accomplish this task. We are indeed in danger of death. It is almost impossible for us to hide and commit suicide." The messenger sighed.

"In that case, you guys just continue with your mission, and I will investigate the monster's secret." Shen Ye said.

"That's all we can do," said the messenger.

"But," the Queen of Hearts added, "Take out the scales we gave you last time."

"it is good."

Shen Ye handed over the "balance" scale.

The King of Hearts took the scale, and then took out a similar scale and showed it to Shen Ye:
"This is another ancient law that has disappeared. Only this relic remains. I can leave it to you."

"Really? What law is it?" Shen Ye asked with interest.

"'New life.'" said the King of Hearts.

He just chanted a spell, pinched the two scales together, and squeezed them hard.

The two scales suddenly turned into a twenty-centimeter-long "stick"-shaped object and were thrown back to Shen Ye by the King of Hearts.

"I have a feeling that what you are investigating is extremely important, but we are beings in history and can only complete our mission according to the established trajectory."

"I leave this matter to you."

“This is the help we give you.”

Said the Queen of Hearts.

Shen Ye caught the "short stick" and suddenly lines of small, dim words appeared in front of him:

"You have acquired the long dagger:"

"??? Ancient Blade."

"The prototype of a weapon."

"Description: The two laws of 'balance' and 'rebirth' are constant. They are not affected by your era. And because of the continuity of history, the laws on this dagger will not disappear."

"--It seems that the ancient laws are regaining their power in your hands."

Shen Ye was stunned.

Is this still possible?

"In history, we are destined to fail, and this weapon is the hope we can pass on to you," said the messenger.

The two were about to disappear into the void again.

"Wait a minute--" Shen Ye said hurriedly, "You are all very strong, is the ancient pale world so difficult?"

The messenger and the King of Hearts looked at each other.

"It shouldn't be that difficult. Among the four missions of mankind, the first mission should be the easiest."

"And the nature of human beings is that they can make use of multiple laws."

"We are created according to many laws. When we are born, we are stronger than the ultimate weapons of many species."

"——So our failure is almost impossible."

“But we failed after all.”

Shen Ye was silent for a few breaths, then said, "I will find out the truth and contact you then."

"Okay, we'll wait for your news." said the messenger.

Together they walked into the void, returned to history, and disappeared.

Only Shen Ye was still standing there.

Shen Ye looked down at the long dagger in his hand——

Although it is not a knife, it can be used as one.

the most important is--

I finally have a rule that I can use.

The only thing to care about is that the characteristics of the laws are different.

Maybe the power of the swordsmanship will also change.

Sudden.

There was only a loud bang.

Shen Ye looked up and saw lines of small, dim words appearing above his head:

"Congratulations."

"You have arrived at the intersection of history and the future, and are about to witness an astonishing secret."

“The mission of mankind has regained its radiance and seems to be able to continue, but it also seems to be heading into eternal darkness.”

"All the laws in the universe are witnessing this moment."

"Please note."

"If you let that secret go and don't explore it, you will get the supreme entry in the survival category."

"If you continue to explore—"

"You must survive for twelve hours to gain the recognition of the laws of the universe and obtain the unknown entry that belongs only to humans."

Shen Ye read it quickly.

The supreme term in the survival category?

He gave up after a brief thought.

——Giving up intelligence is tantamount to surrender.

if that's the case.

Wouldn't it mean that I would never be able to understand the operating mechanisms of the pale world, or even defeat the monsters here?

It is even more impossible to obtain the "Pale Law".

If there were no rules...

From now on I can only rely on others.

Do I really have to submit to the Sage of Time, or keep hiding from Old John and never improve my strength again?

Some people are alive, but they feel suffocated to death.

How is this different from working?
Doing the most painful thing is called making a living.

Why!

By the way, my duck body is still working!
Shen Ye clenched the dagger tightly——

We must continue to uncover the secrets!

I saw a faint light emitting from the "short stick"-like dagger, forming a sharp blade thirty centimeters long.

——Short ones are also cute!

Can this kill the enemy?

Who cares!
If I can't kill him by stabbing him, I'll use it to knock him to death!

Anyway-

Never live your life according to other people’s wishes!

Shen Ye tied the dagger to his waist, stretched out his hand to summon a door, and stepped over.
