Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Mo Ga Ru nodded at him, drank the Catastrophe Source Liquid, and his figure gradually vanished.

He left.

He should soon discover the truth of the matter!

In this upcoming great event, where will the Five Desires stand?

Shen Ye took a breath and continued practicing with his knife.

It won't do.

Cannot let the powerhouses of Five Desires stand by idly.

Must think of a way to strap them onto the chariot of battle!

Go now—

"The posture is correct, continue practicing!" came the voice of the Human Figure.

Shen Ye snapped back to awareness.

—At this moment, practicing had his hands feeling hot; it was better to continue without stopping until the entire training task was completed.

Time slowly passed by.

Shen Ye practiced his sword techniques, drenched in sweat.

Another half-hour passed.

The Human Figure stopped its movements while observing him and spoke:

"Next, you shall learn—wait, it seems you're about to break through."

"Ah? Really?" Shen Ye did not understand.

The other party was just a puppet.

How could it be clearer about his current state than himself?

"Hmm, your comprehension skills are quite good, I see you can enter the assessment phase now."

The Human Figure burst forth with killing intent, pointing the knife at Shen Ye.

"Come on, this is a battle for life and death. If you cannot kill me, you die."

Its physique moved, charging towards Shen Ye like lightning.

Almost without any warning!

The assessment had already begun!

That knife in the hands of the Human Figure split into seven or eight streaks of light, and with just a flash, had already pierced towards Shen Ye's forehead, eyes, neck, heart, and ribs, about to slay him on the spot.

At that moment, Shen Ye moved.

His knife moved before the man did.

Hum—

The long knife blurred, emitting a faint hum.

Faint light appeared, gathering into small letters:

"You have activated the Space-Time Blade Technique, Summoning Blade Technique, Full Moon Blade Method, close-combat slaying technique 'Thinking of You'."

Space-Time Blade Technique.

By invoking the power of the Candle Dragon, space and time became sluggish.

Pain.

—Amidst the slight pain, Shen Ye realized he had been struck.

The streak of light aiming for his forehead had broken the skin between his eyebrows and was continuing to drill inside at an extremely slow pace.

Shen Ye leaned back and slightly turned his head, dodging the knife light.

Yet he saw that the knife light was still suspended in the void, continuing to fly towards him.

But now, Shen Ye would no longer be struck by it.

That was close!

If his sword technique had been activated just a moment later, it would have been too late!

—Such an assessment, in the Female Art Spirit's words, was referred to as a "training task, with the lowest degree of danger."

Something inside Shen Ye suddenly broke free.

He followed the path of his knife, the Hongying Knife fluttering like a butterfly through flowers, smoothly flitting through the numerous knife lights filled with killing intent, gently brushing past the Human Figure.

But one could see clusters of bright knife lights bursting forth on the Human Figure's body, like an angrily blooming pear tree amidst the crisp clashing sounds.

As the knife light receded, the man retreated far away.

Clang!

The long knife was sheathed.

Shen Ye landed dozens of meters away on the corridor.

"Fine sword play, it seems you have advanced this knife to a higher realm, that is good," said the Human Figure.

"Thank you," Shen Ye saluted with his fists.

The Human Figure nodded, its body suddenly emitting long marks.

Crash—

The Human Figure shattered into countless small pieces, scattered on the ground.

The floor slowly descended, taking the Human Figure back to the depths of the Great Tomb.

Meanwhile.

Lines of faint light appeared before Shen Ye:

"Congratulations, your Blade Technique 'Thinking of You' has advanced to Law Realm Second Layer."

"Thinking of You."

"Law Realm Second Layer."

"Space-Time Blade Technique, Summoning Blade Technique, the ultimate blade technique 'Spring Breeze Slices Rain and Pear Blossoms Fall,' close-combat slaying technique."

"Description: Summon the power of the Candle Dragon to fuse with the blade edge. At the moment of slicing, let space and time fall into a slight delay to allow you to complete that strike of ultimate blade technique 'Spring Breeze Slices Rain and Pear Blossoms Fall'."

"—Thinking of you ages someone, as the years suddenly grow late."

Shen Ye glanced at it and couldn't help but feel moved.

The sword techniques in the Great Tomb were terrifying.

Not only did they slow down time, but the accompanying sword play was also exceptionally fierce.

For instance, this ultimate blade technique 'Spring Breeze Slices Rain and Pear Blossoms Fall'; to think he could hide within the void, merging with the blade, and in an instant, pierce through the enemy's attacks, exploding with knife lights slashing all over the body. There were such sword techniques in the world!

If he unfolded his Dharma Aspect to execute this move, Shen Ye did not even know to what extent the power would increase.

After all, this technique had reached the Law Realm Second Layer, able to draw even more from the blessings of the Dharma Aspect!

—Should I give it a try?

Shen Ye hesitated for a moment, just about to unlock his Dharma Aspect when he heard the Female Art Spirit's voice resound again:

"That person from before has come again."

Mo Ga Ru?

Has he already investigated the intelligence?

He's quite fast in action.

Shen Ye simply continued to pretend to practice with his knife on the spot, waiting for his arrival.

Dozens of breaths later.

Mo Ga Ru quietly appeared on the corridor, shouting loudly:

"Baxter, come back to the 'Five Desires' world immediately; we need to discuss the countermeasures."
