Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 1167 - 522: Dribbling Past Opponents! _3

Curse if you must.

"I am Augustus—I need to talk to you about the Destruction Tribulation."

said the Master of the Withering Staff.

"Just say it directly," Shen Ye replied.

"The Destruction Tribulation has already begun. If we don’t join forces to resist it, the Truth World will be finished."

Join forces.

That’s a nice word.

"That’s true enough. So, what next?" Shen Ye asked.

Augustus said:

"You already have Earth—it is filled with the survivors of the previous world. You need to provide manpower to cooperate with the various creations of Truth that I have."

"That way, the fighting power of the Truth World will be enhanced."

"Perhaps we can make a stand."

"You mean combining the Eternal World with the Truth World?" Shen Ye asked.

"Yes," Augustus said.

"Just now, you arranged for people to kill me," Shen Ye questioned.

"If you died, you wouldn’t qualify to cooperate with me. Only by surviving are you barely worthy," Augustus replied.

"Specifically, how should it be done?" Shen Ye asked.

"Surrender your Eternal World, and then hand over the Ship of Destruction, Multi-layered Universe, and the Parasitic Empress to me. Let me control them—I am the strongest," Augustus said.

"Hold on, why should I hand over so many things?"

"This is for the continuation of the world, Shen Ye."

Shen Ye smirked, pondering aloud:

"If I had been killed by your men earlier, I wouldn’t have been able to personally offer these things. Only by surviving could I hear your request, is that right?"

Augustus replied:

"You’ve earned yourself a life—"

"Remember, hardly anyone escapes my grasp. It’s because you are now the World Master that you receive this honor."

He continued seriously: "I personally guarantee you can live, just as you did when you were a normal person."

"I have a better proposal," Shen Ye said.

"Let’s hear it," Augustus replied.

"You surrender the Withering Staff, that would be the simplest. After all, you only need to hand over one thing, and you don’t need to worry about what follows, since you are not important," Shen Ye said.

Augustus fell silent.

Shen Ye emphasized:

"This is for the continuation of the world, I hope you prioritize the bigger picture."

A faint killing intent emanated from Augustus.

"The basic rule of the world is survival of the fittest, Shen Ye, I hope you know your place."

Shen Ye chuckled and replied: "So, arranging so many people to kill me was just to make me know my place."

"Tsk, Augustus, you really are a bastard."

Finished speaking.

Shen Ye gripped the Rain Blade.

Augustus shook his head, saying: "Shen Ye, I know you—many people on your Earth have been borrowed by the Multi-layered Universe, they are all your friends."

"What do you mean?" Shen Ye asked sternly.

"Their safety is not guaranteed. After all, in the Truth World, unexpected events are not uncommon," Augustus said.

"Don’t listen to him," Uncle Qi’s voice sounded in Shen Ye’s ear: "In the past, ’Earth’ forced its way through the ’barrier’ to arrive in this world."

"It has no master and cannot return, so it has stayed here."

"But you are now the World Master, you can take ’Earth’ with you! Wherever you can go, it can go too."

Shen Ye felt reassured, closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again.

He had just sensed a bit.

It was indeed so.

Moreover, he is the Gatekeeper.

—He can pass through the barrier!

This ensures Earth’s temporary safety.

Then, there is only one thing left—

"On our Earth, there’s an old saying, I guess you should understand it."

Shen Ye said.

"What do you mean?" Augustus asked.

"All talk and no action is deceitful," Shen Ye said.

Heavy illusions descended from the sky behind him, slowly unfolding, becoming clearly visible.

They were lotus leaves floating on water.

A breeze came.

Lotus flowers bloomed.

This is indeed the Truth Dharma Form—

One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones·Three Pure Ones Return!

Augustus snorted coldly upon seeing it. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"A lowly ordinary human dares to use Dharma Aspect to fight me?"

He focused his mind.

Behind him, a grand illusory image silently unfolded.

This Dharma Aspect was completely different from what Shen Ye had seen.

Endless decayed wooden forests turned from illusion to reality.

Every tree was tied with dense corpses, whose blood and flesh were drained, leaving only decayed white bones.

—Truth Dharma Form·Withering of All Things!

The battle began!

Shen Ye leapt from the scepter, simultaneously invoking the power of the Destruction Queen and Ship of Destruction, and swung the long sword in his hand.

—Sky-reaching Slash!

This slash still reached the Truth Twenty-first Rank.

The aim was to hit the opponent’s Dharma Aspect, causing it to withdraw and return to its undeveloped state.

If successful, the opponent’s combat power will be greatly reduced!

Augustus drew out the Withering Staff and said gloomily:

"You’ve never seen true strength, Shen Ye."

Utilizing the power of the Dharma Aspect, he also unleashed a technique.

Seeing the approaching clash between sword and technique—

Shen Ye suddenly felt a jump in his heart, an ominous premonition emerged.

In a flash, countless golden rays appeared in his eyes, reflecting Augustus and the surrounding void.

—The imminent future unfolded in his vision.

The monster was coming!

In that moment, Shen Ye suddenly comprehended the whole affair.

Damn the fight.

Winning actually isn’t of much benefit.

With this strength, should he engage in a chaotic battle with them?

Better escape!

Let them fight slowly here!

"Gate."

He shouted, gathering the Queen and Uncle Qi, and rushed into the newly appeared Gate of Spirit Communication, leaving swiftly.

In the next instant.

The void opened.

A monster, blood-red all over, appeared in Shen Ye’s former position.

"Huh? He escaped?"

"...But that’s fine, let’s kill one for fun first."
