Gatekeeper of all realms.

Chapter 294 The Irresistible Black King

honestly.

Lilias is totally untrustworthy.

Shen Ye didn't believe a word she said.

of course.

What she said seemed to be very close to the truth.

But the closer something is to the truth, the more likely it is to be false.

——Shen Ye usually does this himself.

He shook his head slowly, ignoring Lilias's screams on the sharp tentacles, and stood there in deep thought.

"Hey, what's in the box?"

He observed the movements in the Dharma image and asked.

When the four kings saw him asking, they stopped, put the box down and opened it carefully.

Inside the box was a woman in handcuffs and leg irons.

The woman looked around in surprise, seemingly unable to comprehend her current situation.

——Lilias!
Why is there another Lilias?
Shen Ye looked at her, then looked at the Lilias in the real world, where only her head was left.

The two look very similar!

But Lilias in the box looked more dignified, with a calm expression and bright eyes.

And her hair is very long.

——The whole box was filled with her long hair.

What is the situation?
Suddenly, a faint light appeared above the head of this "Lilias":
"The world spirit master blessed by all worlds, the world soul of the stolen world, the cursed holy prison master, the holy angel who saves all souls."

Shen Ye watched it carefully and couldn't help but blurt out: "Damn it! How could it be like this!"

——This is a god!

And it’s a very strong one!

At this moment, Shen Ye suddenly remembered Lilias whom he had met before.

At that time, Lilias's entry was:
"The destroyer of the universe, the lord of the weeping hell, the cursed spirit king, the star that commands all the fallen souls!"

There must be some connection between the two.

But now I don’t have many clues.

"Fourth King, please take the trouble to go again and bring back some of the suspicious things in her Dharma image."

Shen Ye said silently to his own Dharma image.

The four kings climbed up the city wall, looked at Shen Ye together, and waved their hands constantly, as if they wanted to say something.

Shen Ye looked at it for a while before he understood.

——They have acted twice in a row and are now a little tired. They need to be provided with some energy by themselves.

Also.

How can you just let people work without giving them food?

"How do you replenish your energy?"

Shen Ye asked.

The four kings made another gesture.

It's actually simple.

It is the mental power needed to perform magical skills.

Shen Ye activated his mental power without hesitation and injected it into the Dharma image.

A few moments.

The four kings cheered and jumped for a while, then jumped off the wall in high spirits, moved the wooden boat out of the bamboo forest, and left quickly.

"Lilias!"

Shen Ye spoke to attract Lilias's attention and buy time for the four kings.

"You're lying to me. I can actually feel that the land in that world is normal. It's definitely not the body of a monster."

"Humph, you don't believe me, I know that," Lilias said, "Why don't we make a deal? You won't refuse a reasonable deal, will you?"

"That depends on what the deal is - after all, you're already like this, if the value of the deal is not high, I have no interest in it," Shen Ye said.

"I can tell you the structure of the dungeon in the Five Desire Worlds."

"Not interested in."

"The weaknesses of several prison guards."

"Not interested in."

"The origin of the monster."

"Not interested in."

——Actually, I am a little interested.

But the value of this information is not that high, and my main purpose now is to delay time.

There was no need to make a deal with her.

Otherwise I have to save her.

"Wake up, Lilias. Given your current situation, what qualifications do you have to bargain with me? Stop testing me with insignificant things."

Shen Ye spoke slowly.

Lilias was about to say something else, but at this moment, a sound of insects suddenly came from Shen Ye's body.

——Emperor species!

It was hit continuously by the nightmare technique and had to fight back desperately. It had already fallen into a weak dormant state.

Perhaps at this moment it sensed the Nest Banner from the outside world.

It let out a longing cry in its sleep.

The sound of insects chirping, combined with Shen Ye's previous words, made the whole situation extremely convincing.

There was a hint of fear in Lilias' eyes.

Yes.

this moment.

At least on the surface, she no longer has any bargaining chips.

At this time, Shen Ye noticed that in the blank area at the edge of his Dharma image, a small boat was quietly approaching the shore.

The four kings disembarked one after another.

But they had nothing in their hands.

——Is there nothing worth moving?

Shen Ye was a little confused.

Perhaps knowing Shen Ye's doubts, the four kings looked at each other, walked to the main entrance of Guanghan Palace together, and took out their own storage containers.

They were seen holding up the magic ring, summoning box, marching bag, and dimensional storage box respectively, and activating them at the same time.

——Boom! ! !

The towering, flaming black walls extend around the Guanghan Palace and close together behind it, protecting the entire palace complex.

City wall!

A glimmer of light quickly emerged:

"The four kings have brought all the only harmless defensive walls that the other side has spotted."

"Congratulations."

"You have obtained the walls of the Weeping Prison."

"Special defensive Dharma."

"After fusion, this wall will bless you with the effect of 'Fire of the Weeping Hell'."

"This fire has been integrated into the Dharma Frost Fire."

"Your Dharma Aspect damage changes to 'Frost Hell Flowing Fire'."

"Description: Being burned by this fire will freeze the enemy instantly, and plant the fire seeds into them, forming a strong collision of ice and fire, producing a violent explosion, and the wound will not heal within seven days."

"This is a completely new type of mutated Dharma power."

Shen Ye finished reading quickly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He looked towards the Four Kings.

I saw that the four kings had already stood on the city wall, with their heads held high and chests puffed out, all saluting Shen Ye with an attitude as if to say, "Come and praise me."

——Big brothers.

You have brought the other party's Dharma image here!

Never heard of such a thing!

"Chen Ye!"

Lilias screamed, drawing Shen Ye's attention back.

"I have some extremely important information here that will surely interest you!"

"Oh? About what?" Shen Ye asked guiltily.

We have even taken their city walls, so why are you still staying here?
Why don’t you leave quickly?
——Let her live for now. Once she dies, there will be huge chaos in the world of five desires.

The nightmare world is merging with the main world and cannot be disturbed.

After this critical point has passed, we can consider whether she should stay or leave.

Shen Ye thought about everything over and over again, and after he figured it out, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Lilias became even more anxious——

She screamed loudly:
"As long as you are willing to save my life, I will tell you the secret of the cursed sculpture of the King of All Fallen Demons!"

Shen Ye paused as he took a step forward.

His own gate ability was awakened by the cursed statue.

The Secret of the Cursed Statue...

It is indeed what I really care about.

Even the reason why he stayed with Magahu and Jiuxiang was largely to find out the secret of this matter.

Lilias is also the first enemy to discover that she has awakened the "Gate" ability.

She had always wanted her soul.

What does she want to do?
Now she has no choice but to exchange this secret for her life.

"You know the secret of the cursed sculpture? You're not lying again, are you?"

Shen Ye smiled and said.

"To show my sincerity, I can tell you some information. You can decide whether to complete the transaction with me." Lilias said.

"Okay, you say."

Shen Ye stood still, looking at the human head on the sharp tentacles.

The head also looked at him and said:

"Do you remember that there were originally five powerful people in the 'Five Desires' world?"

"You mentioned this." Shen Ye nodded.

"I told you at the beginning that one of the strong men died in the battle."

"Yes, you said that too."

"I lied to you."

“…I don’t think I’m too surprised.”

"She's not dead, she just lost all her strength - she is the strongest among us," said Lilias.

"What does this have to do with the cursed statue?" Shen Ye asked.

"As long as you save me, I will give her to you. She knows all the secrets of what happened to the Five Desires!" Lilias said.

"Really? I don't believe it." Shen Ye said.

"Really? At the beginning, the Five Desires World had very strict defenses, and there would definitely be no problems. But too much time has passed... The Five Desires World encountered an incident. From that time on, the cursed statue appeared in our world and even spread to your world."

Lilias explained patiently.

Shen Ye said: "Why should I believe you? And the person you are talking about should at least have a certain 'name', right? I have collected the names of several of you prison guards..."

As he recalled, he recited the names of Magaho, Tianluo, Taiyan and even Lilias.

"You know everything?" Lilias asked in surprise.

"Yes, I know all of this, but I have never heard of it. There is also a prison guard - at least in name only. I don't have any information about this."

Shen Ye said in a tone that showed insight into people's hearts: "So you are lying, Lilias!"

He stepped back step by step, his tone becoming deeper and deeper:
"You think I'll continue to be fooled? No... I will never have anything to do with you again."

Seeing that Shen Ye was about to leave, Lilias finally became anxious.

——This is the last hope.

Otherwise, I will be hung on this banner of the nest forever.

Or wait until the emperor species escapes again, and then immediately eat itself to replenish strength.

"You can check in the 'Five Desires' world!"

Lilias said loudly:
"She has a name recognized by the Dharma Realm. Her name is—"

"The Lord of the World blessed by all the worlds, the world soul of the stolen world, the Lord of the Holy Prison cursed by all, the Holy Angel who saves all souls."

"She knows everything!"

"——I am the only one who knows her whereabouts! No one else can find her!"

Shen Ye's heart slowly fell to the ground.

okay.

The person is already lying in my Dharma image, and the secret will be revealed sooner or later.

"Sister Shuling."

Shen Ye called out.

"I'm here." The female sorcerer sealed by fate quietly appeared.

"Can we hide this area so that others can't get close?"

"Of course - then move it to the big tomb." said the female sorcerer.

Moment.

Lilias and the entire Nest Banner that trapped her disappeared.

The place was empty.

Only then did Shen Ye open his Dharma image.

"do not be afraid."

He said to the woman in the wooden box.

The woman nodded calmly and spoke, but her voice was completely different from Lilias'.

Lilias's voice was quick and sharp, with short syllables.

The woman's voice was a little hoarse, soothing and peaceful:
"I heard your conversation just now. I do know the secret of the cursed statue. Are you looking for this secret?"

Shen Ye's heart was pounding.

The secret of the cursed statue is so close to me!
"Let's talk later. I have to go to the tomb first - we'll talk later."

He said.

The woman nodded.

Shen Ye put away the Dharma image, and immediately took out the "Tomb Guardian" badge and activated it with his mental power.

Moment.

He passed through the hard and thick earth and teleported directly to the real interior of the tomb.

The world is spinning——

Both feet touch solid ground.

Shen Ye didn't stand steadily and staggered, but fortunately he held onto the wall with his hands and did not fall.

Look up.

Surrounding it are metallic-colored, weathered and ancient metal walls.

There are closed doors on both sides of the corridor.

The first floor of the tomb!
I'm finally back here!
I have been delayed for too long just now and I don’t know whether Maha Gahu has arrived.

Now is not the right time to turn against each other.

Let's get through this first -

"Sister Shuling, I want to exercise now."

Shen Ye was doing warm-up exercises. The voice of the female sorcerer sounded in the darkness:

"You have survived the Three Calamities, have inherited the sword technique, and are an official gravekeeper."

"——I can mobilize the Tomb Soldier training mission, do you want to try it?"

"Training? What is it about?" Shen Ye asked.

“You must practice your swordsmanship with all your might and raise it to at least the second level of the Dharma Realm. Only then can you be considered to have completed the entire process of inheriting the swordsmanship and be able to move freely,” the female magic spirit explained.

"Is there any danger?"

Shen Ye asked cautiously.

"For a training mission, the danger level is the least." said the female sorcerer.

"That's fine," Shen Ye was relieved, "Let's get started. I'll practice my sword skills first and wait for Mogao to come."

"Then I will activate the mission." said the female sorcerer.

next second.

Shen Ye suddenly saw a piece of metal floor glowing not far ahead.

"Go step on it." said the sorcerer.

Shen Ye really went up and stepped on it.

Rumble, rumble——

The ground slowly rose.

A metal figurine holding a long knife appeared opposite Shen Ye.

"You have the understanding of swordsmanship, but your hands are too raw and need to be honed."

The metal figurine spoke in a stiff and strange tone.

He raised the knife.

Shen Ye also quickly raised his knife.

"Do as I say - strike three thousand times, start!" said the metal figurine.

After saying that, it swung its knife.

Shen Ye had no choice but to swing his sword as well.

Just practice like this.

While practicing, while waiting for Maha Maha, he was talking to the woman in the Dharma image.

In fact, the more carefully you look, the easier it is to find the difference between her and Lilias.

"Hello, I don't know what to call you yet."

Shen Ye said.

"I'm Delia, and I know you're Shen Ye," the woman said.

"Have you seen me?" Shen Ye asked while waving his knife.

"I saw everything Lilias went through - I was imprisoned in her Dharma image and witnessed everything." Delia said.

"Can you tell me about the cursed statue?" Shen Ye asked.

"I'd love to tell you, but I don't dare." Delia said.

I dare not say...

Shen Ye's knife stopped.

"Practice hard!" the metal figurine shouted.

Shen Ye immediately swung his knife again.

"Why don't you dare to say it? There is no one else here, and you are hiding in my Dharma image, so you should be safe."

He said silently.

Delia shook her head and whispered, "You can kill me, but I can't tell you - in fact, it's to protect your life."

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment and continued to swing the knife.

can not say……

Could it be that thing?

"Is it dangerous?" Shen Ye probed.

"The entire prison world almost collapsed because of this, and we all lost our power. What do you think?" Delia said.

"Let me guess - a secret of the universe?"

"Yes."

"Is it a particularly powerful enemy, stronger than the Emperor's giant cosmic insect?"

"There's absolutely no comparison," Delia said, looking nervous and embarrassed. "Don't say any more, or we will both be completely destroyed."

Shen Ye had some idea in his mind.

——In fact, if it were someone else, Shen Ye might not believe it.

However, this woman has two entries: "Lord of the World who brings blessings to all worlds, and the Holy Angel who saves all souls."

It is difficult to gain recognition from the legal community.

Just like the teacher once said, "When you are worthy of a certain 'name', the Dharma Realm will recognize you and give you the corresponding 'name'."

So initially speaking, Shen Ye is still inclined to have a good talk with the other party.

"Then let's talk about something else - for example, I once saw a huge whirlpool appear on the surface of a river or lake, and everything around it had no power to resist and was sucked in."

Shen Ye continued:
"Perhaps you have experienced the same thing?"

Delia stood up in surprise and almost fell out of the box.

She said loudly:

"How do you know this!"

Shen Ye was silent.

Yes--

I once encountered something that I couldn't even talk about.

In the collection room of the human palace in the nightmare world, the voice of the book "Apocalypse of All Realms Online" came out:

"What I want to talk about is the irresistible black king..."

I was in an extremely crazy and dangerous situation at that time.

Fortunately, the Lord of the Underworld, Miktiti Kashiva, was there to protect him, allowing him to try again and thus escape danger.

This is just hearsay.

——If Delia and the others had ever encountered the "Black King", it would be a miracle if they survived.

This also explains why the cage of the "five desires" can cause problems.

But why is the cursed statue related to the "Black King"?

Let's hear what Delia has to say.

"How about you use 'that thing' to replace the part that can't be said and tell me what can be said?"

Shen Ye asked.

"Shen Ye, you have to understand one thing."

"what?"

"When you pursue secrets, the secrets will immediately begin to pursue you; you understand the truth through the secrets, and the secrets also complete their mission through you-"

"In fact, you can pretend you know nothing and stay away from some danger."

As soon as Delia finished speaking, Shen Ye immediately laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Delia asked.

"There is an animal in my hometown that, when danger comes, will bury its head in the desert, thinking that this will help it avoid danger."

"I don't agree with this. I would rather know all the information about the danger - because it will come sooner or later, and blindly closing your eyes is not a solution."

"The Cursed Statue is where it all started."

"Please tell me."

Shen Ye said seriously.

"Since you insist, there is nothing I can do..." Delia pondered for a while, then continued:
"The world of 'five desires' is actually a very powerful prison world."

"It was entrusted by many worlds to imprison a terrifying monster and was blessed with powerful strength."

"Everything was fine originally."

"But as time goes by, one day, just as you said-"

"The day will come when a giant ship will also go into the whirlpool, but the people on the giant ship don't know this."

"All kinds of defenses have been destroyed."

"We were also seriously injured."

"——This is just because we are close to the 'whirlpool'."

"Just as everything was about to be destroyed, the imprisoned monster woke up."

“It’s aware of what’s going on in the outside world.”

"At that moment, it could no longer escape on its own, because in that vortex, it would be more dangerous to escape from the world alone."

"It controls the entire world, freeing the world and us from the vortex and returning to the universe."

Shen Ye's heart was shaken and his mind was excited after hearing this.

He was clearly a prisoner, but he was able to escape with the entire planet?

What a powerful force this is!

but--

"What does all this have to do with the cursed statue?" Shen Ye asked.

Delia closed her eyes, slowly adjusted her breathing, and waited until she was completely calm before she spoke:
"After the imprisoned monster escaped, it was planning to kill us all, but the vortex caught up with us."

"Chase?"

"Yes, the being we refer to as the vortex appeared directly in front of the imprisoned monster."

"The whirlpool stepped on it, and just when it was about to kill it, it changed its mind."

"The Whirlpool gave it a cursed statue."

"The original words were, 'This statue represents me. Carve more statues in its image and take them to the heavens and the worlds to eat souls.'"

"The more souls they eat, the more satisfied I am, and the safer you will be."

Shen Ye listened carefully and said after a while:

"But... since there are so many statues here, destroying one statue here shouldn't have a big impact on the overall situation."

"The one that was destroyed was the real statue itself," said Delia.

well.

Simply great.

The Cursed Statue comes from the most powerful, evil, and unspeakable being in the universe.

It is a Meituan food delivery APP that devours souls remotely.

but--

I killed this food delivery app and also awakened my ability.

"Is there any remedy?"

Shen Ye asked.

"In fact, Uzumaki mentioned this situation," Delia said.

"Told you?" Shen Ye asked in surprise.

"Yes, the original words were 'You have a chance to get my reward, which is the power of the next era. If anyone can really do this, then use that power. Just recite my name silently at the same time.'"

Shen Ye listened silently and continued to practice swinging the sword without responding.

Delia went on:

"You have chosen to hear the secret. Now, please choose again."

"Shen Ye, you can disobey its words, pretend you know nothing, and hurry up to become stronger; or you can follow its instructions and complete this task."

"—if you have made a decision, please let me know."

Shen Ye didn't hesitate for too long.

“I’m going to finish this.”

"Are you sure? That's a being that no one can deal with. Are you sure you want to do what it says?"

Delia looked puzzled:
"Why are you walking towards the abyss step by step? You can obviously avoid it!"

"No, it's actually unavoidable." Shen Ye said.

Delia was stunned, and for the first time she looked at him in a different way.

This young man has done many outstanding things.

But when it comes to secrets, he is so paranoid, even a little crazy.

Is he pursuing that terrifying existence?
why?
Do all geniuses have a tendency to self-destruct?

Shen Ye continued to practice swinging the knife with a calm and composed look, as if he was not confused, nervous or afraid about his decision.

"Very good, let's keep on attacking." The terracotta warrior made a move.

Shen Ye followed.

The blade light drew a graceful arc in the air.

in fact--

The whole thing is crystal clear.

——Everyone is working for that “Whirlpool”.

As a result, one day, the working mechanism was disrupted by you guys and could no longer function.

As the boss, "Whirlpool" gave a solution very early on.

However, you did not carry out the order and instead thought you could just ignore it and run away.

Do you really think the boss knows nothing?
Or--

Do you think your boss is easy to bully?
There's no such thing as living in society, man!
Besides, the other party can provide a contingency plan in advance, and in fact, they may also have a corresponding plan for escape.

——What reason is there to look down on an existence that "has been in existence for 30,000 years, and everything in the era has bowed down before it"?

"You will die, Shen Ye." Delia warned heavily.

Shen Ye raised his hand, pressed it into the air, and whispered:
"What I want to talk about is the irresistible black king."

As soon as the first sentence was spoken, everything around him immediately stopped.

The figurine stopped moving.

Delia in the Dharma image covered her mouth with both hands, appearing frightened and panicked, maintaining her original movements.

still.

It was as if some other invisible object had permeated the surrounding void and surrounded Shen Ye.

Shen Ye put away the knife and continued reading:
"It sits on the top of the crown of stars, picking out the most prosperous and powerful planets and devouring them all."

"For thirty thousand years, everything in this era has bowed before it."

"There's no escape."

"The universe shrinks around it, and all existence must face it, while it picks everything, eats everything, and destroys everything."

"--Door."

He stretched out his hand and pressed into the void.

A door suddenly appeared.

Shen Ye put his hand on the door, applying a little force.

——If nothing goes wrong, after opening the door, the opposite side should be the secret passage of the human race camp in the nightmare world.

But is it really so?
He pushed the door open.

Inside the door is a vast and magnificent cosmic nebula.

In the endless darkness, a deafening voice sounded from all directions:
"Too many sentient beings, due to arrogance and ignorance, have long lost the reverence they should have for the universe and the truth."

"Fear drives them to turn a blind eye to the greater power, turn a deaf ear to it, and seek their own death."

"You're not bad."

A residual shadow flew out from the endless nebula, passed through the door, and gently hovered in front of Shen Ye.

Shen Ye looked down.

It was a black invitation.

The invitation card exudes an endless dark light, and on the surface of the invitation card, densely packed planets appear, forming a vast and complex star map.

"Take it, you'll need it."

The voice continued.
