Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 685 - 378: Reuniting with Her!_3

"Big shot business, less chat, come eat," the tall, skinny cultivator said.

The group then shut their mouths, silently eating.

Shen Ye also roasted two elixirs, biting one, blowing and chewing in his mouth.

...it still damn tasted like elixir.

"Your elixir needs more chili, it’s not roasted well."

The chubby cultivator said without lifting his head.

The others just laughed.

Shen Ye followed with a laugh.

He was about to ask for barbecue secrets when suddenly—

Hundreds of meters away, a demonic abyss spewed a towering pillar of darkness, which pierced the clouds and dispersed into the boundless universe.

Boom!

Boundless, wild demonic Qi surged out, sweeping across the land like a fierce wind.

Wherever the demonic Qi passed, all vegetation withered, mountain springs dried up, and the soil turned into a desert of dead gray.

Cultivators panicked and flew up from the cliffs, scattering in all directions.

"Quick! Report it!"

The chubby cultivator jumped up, fumbling to pull out a communication talisman, muttering under his breath.

After finishing a long statement, he tossed the talisman.

The talisman turned into a streak of red light and flew away.

"What do we do now?"

A cultivator asked.

"Guard the camp, wait for everyone to come up, what else can we do!" the skinny cultivator said with a mournful expression.

Shen Ye looked towards the demonic abyss, a wave of extreme unease emerged in his heart.

He raised a hand.

His hand was trembling.

Damn it, what’s this?

I know nothing about the demonic abyss, why am I so scared?

Shen Ye’s heart chilled, he pressed his finger to the ring, gently wiping it.

A majestic rooster appeared in his hand.

"Cursing?"

The rooster asked, eager.

"No, we need a carrot now," Shen Ye said.

"Alright, carrots it is—I’ve actually always been quite low-key."

The rooster stretched out its beak, gently pecking at the void and picked out a carrot.

In the void.

Lines of faint script silently emerged:

"Benevolent God Rooster used the special mystical item ’Carrot (Invisible),’ transforming into a Carrot Chicken."

"With this special blessing, you have acquired the effect of being ’overlooked’ by others."

Shen Ye felt slightly relieved.

But from beside him, the chubby cultivator moaned,

"Oh my God, what the hell is that..."

Turning his head to look.

He saw something emerging from the demonic abyss.

It was said to be a worm, but it wasn’t.

It was enormous, as thick and as long as three trains parked side by side.

And its soft body was covered with vertical pupils, its sides fringed with centipede-like legs scurrying rapidly across the ground.

By the time Shen Ye saw it, it had already climbed up from below the cliff, observing the surroundings.

Several cultivators flashed by not far away.

The "worm’s" back eyes opened wide, staring at them, releasing crimson rays.

Screams rose and fell.

Every cultivator struck by the rays instantly turned to flying ash.

They stood no chance against it!

This creature was too strong!

"Start the concealment array, maximum effect, don’t spare the mana!"

The skinny cultivator almost roared out those words.

Several cultivators pinched their spells, directing them at the array plate.

The array plate emitted a "hum."

The array enveloping the camp began to change, switching from alert and defense to invisibility.

But it was too late!

The "worm" seemed to have noticed the movement here, and it directly lunged towards them.

At the critical moment—

Shen Ye picked up the rooster, gently placing it on the array plate.

A rooster is a mystical item, the carrot is a mystical item, the array plate is a device.

Could it work on a device?

The rooster, holding the carrot, nodded at Shen Ye.

In the next instant.

The light on the array plate suddenly faded silently.

The huge "worm" suddenly halted, slightly adjusting its direction, chasing after the fleeing cultivators.

Seeing its departing figure, it seemed quite dismissive of the camp here.

Saved!

"Junior Brother, are you from the Mysterious Gate?"

"Is this your mystical item?"

"Thanks for saving our lives!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

The cultivators chatted excitedly.

"Everyone, stop for a moment," Shen Ye waved at the crowd, "Let’s not rush to express our gratitude. What do we do now?"

Everyone fell silent.

The skinny cultivator said, "We are still on a mission. We’ve already reported the situation and must await orders from the higher-ups of our Sect."

The plump cultivator added, "However, I’ve heard that something major happened at the Sect. Someone challenged the Sect Leader, leading to many casualties. Waiting for rescue might not be so simple."

A firelight flew through the air and landed in the middle of the camp, hovering motionlessly.

The plump cultivator flicked the fire talisman with his finger.

Immediately, a voice came from the talisman:

"Stand guard at the current location, wait for the cultivators returning from the Demon Abyss, and make no mistakes!"

The crowd exchanged looks.

Shen Ye saw several people turning pale.

We, cultivators without even the Twelve Layers of the Legal Realm, are to guard this place?

"Hey, did you report everything clearly?"

Someone couldn’t help but interrogate the plump cultivator.

The plump cultivator’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and with an innocent look, he replied, "I specifically mentioned that only we lower-ranked cultivators are left in the camp. Who knew it would turn out this way!"

Shen Ye remained silent, his mind crystal clear.

The Divine Honored Heart Devil, who controlled the Sect, had set a fate saying, "Those who can push the Sect to progress and become stronger may live; all others might as well be devoured or die."

This order fit perfectly with its set fate.

Shen Ye looked up toward the Demon Abyss, observing the towering pillar of dark demonic light.

"Before reaching the Eightfold Dharmakaya... should not compete with others..."

"But these monsters shouldn’t count as people, right?"

He thought quietly to himself.

"Look!" someone shouted.

Everyone turned to look at the Demon Abyss.

A hand, larger than the entire camp, appeared at the cliff’s edge.

Soon after, another gigantic hand climbed up.

A surge of demonic Qi emanated from below the cliff, obscuring all spiritual probes and making it impossible to see the full form of the monster.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the monster to climb up the cliff.

— What kind of monster was it, to be so massive?

At this moment, there was no running away.

They could only hope that the presence of relics and arrays would prevent the monster from bothering them.

Yet the monster still did not appear.

Both huge hands came together and were then raised high—

"It’s going to attack!"

The crowd suddenly realized.

"Quick! Set up another array plate, activate the defensive arrays with all our power!"

"Fortify the camp!"

"Everyone with defensive artifacts, bring them out!"

"Activate all defensive spells!"

Everyone cried out uncontrollably.

They scrambled chaotically, trying desperately with all their means to withstand the impending attack.

Those gigantic hands, under everyone’s watchful eyes, finally came crashing down.

They smashed forcefully onto the ground.

The world went silent.

The earth’s cracks, like living snakes, quickly slithered away, sweeping across the whole camp and continuing forward.

Panlong Town’s protective array only held for a moment before completely collapsing.

Boom, boom, boom—

The ground shattered into dust.

Everything fell downwards into the ground.

Shen Ye and the others’ camp naturally could not withstand the attack either.

Everyone plummeted into the deep, bottomless fissure.

Suddenly.

A faint light flickered into small characters, appearing before Shen Ye:

"A dream has been born."

"In the dream, a being close to you has come from a distant land, desiring to meet you."

A dream?

What was this hint?

Shen Ye was puzzled when a familiar female voice rang in his ear:

"To destroy the Immortal Country, they used every conceivable scheme to prevent the Heaven Connecting Technique from emerging for several generations, and only then did they succeed by fluke."

"Now, as you embark on the path of Connecting Heaven, wanting the Heaven Connecting Technique to surface in this world—"

"They’ve sensed it."

"Following this, they will frantically search for you, kill you, ensuring the Heaven Connecting Technique does not appear in the Ten Thousand Realms of the Universe."

"You must protect yourself."

Shen Ye shuddered, exclaiming, "Charlotte!"

He looked in one direction.

There emerged a vague figure out of the void.

The familiar and beautiful face gradually became clear.

Charlotte.

She had actually appeared here!

The next instant.

The faint small characters emerged again:

"The adversary has initiated the Heavenly Technique, turning the dream into reality."

The ethereal dream vanished.

Charlotte truly appeared in front of Shen Ye.

Without any further words, she flew forward and embraced Shen Ye tightly.
