Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"Report to the Duke, the underground ruin suddenly collapsed, and all our gains have been buried in the depths, unrecoverable!" another person said.

"Great Duke, my men have suffered heavy casualties. I request a sum to aid my brothers," said the third person.

Shen Ye nodded after listening, then looked at the fourth person.

The fourth person looked up at him and met his gaze, saying, "Duke, my subordinates think I've been training well lately and hope I can spar with you, to learn a thing or two."

The surroundings fell silent.

People showed expressions of eager anticipation.

Such things happen often.

If the newly ascended power cannot subdue the old forces, he himself will soon lose his position.

— Either display your strength or retreat quietly!

"You all have worked hard for the Duke Mansion for so long; as soon as I ascended, you rushed to report various errors and issues to me."

"As the Duke, naturally, I should resolve these matters for you."

"Otherwise, how would others perceive me?"

Shen Ye coughed lightly, glanced at the four, and continued:

"How about this, kill them all."

The contract in his pocket glowed faintly.

The four professionals hadn't yet reacted when they all vanished into the void, disappearing.

At the same time.

In the distant port.

The Ship of Destruction erupted with an astonishing wave of power, transforming into a violent and frenzied hurricane that blew away all the mounts and flying devices docked around it.

"Are you so certain I can kill them?"

The voice of the Ship of Destruction rumbled.

"That's your affair," Shen Ye said indifferently, "Either you die, or they die."

After saying this, he ignored the Ship of Destruction and gestured to Brenna to lead the way.

— Actually, he could open the door and return directly.

But—

Gate power is his foundation; why expose it under everyone's gaze?

Better to find a place to rest for a bit.

Arrange things here along the way.

Wait for Su Su to finish deducing the third sword technique, then return quietly to a place where no one can spy.

Brenna led the way at the front; Shen Ye walked behind.

Further in the direction of the port.

The Ship of Destruction suddenly burst into a great radiance of darkness.

Its attributes are increasing!

— Only through destruction can it, with the help of Shen Ye's "Destruction Throne·Arsenal," obtain all the opponent's strength, thereby enhancing attributes and abilities!

That is to say—

In just a few moments, it has already killed one!

The crowd wasn't foolish; after a brief sense, they found that the aura of one of the four powerful figures had disappeared.

The crowd was suddenly in an uproar.

Someone whispered:

"Those four guys, anywhere they would be stellar-level experts, how could they just..."

The words were left unfinished.

Even Brenna felt an inward chill.

Shen Ye, however, was completely indifferent.

As for strength.

He dared to go back and forth with the Duke of Destruction, Mel, and even defeat him in battle.

But he lacked confidence in taking down this ship.

He relied on the Destruction Contract, using the will of Destruction Tribulation to suppress it, only barely subduing it.

Now.

This Chaos Ship has transformed into the Ship of Destruction, becoming more extreme and mad.

These people want to kill it?

Simply a dream!

To put it another way, if the Ship of Destruction could be defeated that easily, he would immediately need to figure out how to escape.

Because if he can't defeat it, he certainly can't defeat those under him.

But now it seems—

The crowd suddenly burst into exclamations.

In the port.

Infinite dark light rose from the Ship of Destruction straight into the sky, continuing endlessly.

—Three times in a row!

This means it has already killed the four strong ones.

Shen Ye paused slightly and smiled faintly.

Those people wanted to probe.

He, too, wanted to understand the strength of those at the End of the World Castle.

This trial revealed it.

Killing so fast.

...Faster than he expected.

This gives him a rough judgment.

For the Ship of Destruction—

It is also a good thing.

Death is like this:

With one push, it weakens the second time and exhausts the third.

Even when it was most brave, he intercepted it—now, accepting this benefit of increasing strength, would it be willing to die again?

If truly so, he wouldn't stop it.

After all, the Origin Force of "Natural Evolution" is already in hand.

But if it no longer wishes to die...

"Stop! New Duke, I want to challenge you!"

Someone shouted from the crowd.

"Kill him." Shen Ye said indifferently.

The person immediately vanished.

Ship of Destruction transformed into a streak of light, flying over and hovering high above Shen Ye's back.

It emitted an eerie light of destruction, like a devil constantly coveting fresh souls, following behind its new master.

"Anyone else want to challenge me."

Shen Ye scanned the surroundings.

—The entire End of the World Castle is filled with minions of destruction.

They do evil things to survive, destroying worlds and stars.

These scoundrels.

The more killed, the safer other worlds are.

Killing them all is no problem!

A professional snorted coldly: "Among the three Dukes, you are the weakest. The other two Dukes will give you a hard time sooner or later."

"Give me a hard time sooner or later... Is that what they said?" Shen Ye asked sincerely.

That person froze, panic rising, and quickly said:

"It's just my speculation."

"Kill him," Shen Ye said.

The professional immediately disappeared.

Shen Ye looked around and said:

"If the other two Dukes want to talk with me, I must be willing, but why should he speak for them and intend to give me a hard time?"

The crowd avoided his eyes.

Only one professional stared at Shen Ye, showing disapproval.

"Do you have any opinions?" Shen Ye asked.

"I am an attendant at the mansion of the Duke of the Ghost Face. You killed my brother with a word," the professional said.

"My sincere apologies," Shen Ye said, looking up, "There's a fish that escaped the net here; shouldn't he be killed yet?"

The professional barely had time to respond before being transported to the Ship of Destruction.

In an instant.

He died.

Shen Ye scanned the surroundings once more.

This time, no one spoke.

Many people even avoided his gaze.

Then another person stepped forward and said:

"I am the martial artist known as the Silver Lion, Chen Hu."

"What is your affair?" Shen Ye asked.

"I see you equipped with a long knife, I suspect you are an expert in swordsmanship," Chen Hu said.

"My blade techniques are average," Shen Ye replied.

"Could we possibly have a friendly competition?" Chen Hu asked.

"Kill him," Shen Ye said.

Swish—

Chen Hu vanished.

A surge of mighty power waves emerged from the Ship of Destruction.

After this round of killing.

The strength of the Ship of Destruction will rise again!

"You're truly a Demon King of killing."

The Ship of Destruction spoke.

Its tone carried complexity, sounding helpless, but mixed with some sort of anger, along with an unspeakable delight and satisfaction.

It seems that in the short term, it hadn't planned to die.

"Followers of destruction are cowards; the more that die, to the greater good of all."

Shen Ye finished speaking via transmission and turned around, following Brenna in a direction.

In an instant.

Several lines of faint glowing text appeared in midair:

"Deduction complete."

"You received the ultimate Blade Dao: Sky-reaching Slash."

"You have acquired all three styles of swordsmanship."

"You must continue to increase your strength to unleash their true power!"
