Chapter 1018: Chapter 475: Wandering with the Sky Light and Cloud Shadows!_2

City.

Shen Ye appeared in a spacious rest lounge.

Looking around—

Above the heads of more than a dozen professionals resting here, the tag “Blood Emperor” was displayed.

Shen Ye also released his own tag, blending in with the crowd.

“Kid, move aside, you’re blocking the screen!”

Someone spoke up.

Shen Ye turned his head and saw that behind him was indeed a massive display screen.

The screen was broadcasting the arena battles in real-time.

A blood-soaked man was caught by a seven-meter-long serpent demon, its steel-like scales glittering as it coiled its tail around him, lifted him high into the air, and smashed him to the ground with tremendous force.

Crack—

Blood splattered everywhere.

He was dead.

“That serpent demon has already killed two people.”

“Indeed. Its defensive ability is too strong, its moves brimming with power. Unless someone from the Eighteenth Layer of the Magical Realm steps in, it’s unstoppable.”

“It seems to have resistance against many elemental damages.”

“This makes it tricky.”

The professionals discussed fervently.

But Shen Ye was contemplating the significance behind all this.

—Originally, the “Blood Emperor” battles were meant to pit opponents against each other, but since the Dragon Clan joined, the Parasitic Empress appears to have changed her strategy.

And so.

What should he do?

Retreat, and he would face death.

Advance, and if she decided to make him her puppet, wouldn’t that be a fate worse than death?

Su Rong’s voice suddenly rang out:

“Do not fear; you have already completed the recognition ritual with the will of the multi-layered universe.”

“However, the ritual was conducted in secret, and the Parasitic Empress is unaware.”

“If you’re chosen, and she tries to enslave you or forces a recognition ritual with you—”

“The ritual will undoubtedly fail.”

So, that’s how it is.

“I knew it! I’m Charlotte’s man, no way will anyone steal me away.” Shen Ye let out a sigh of relief, patting his chest as he spoke.

“…Don’t be too confident. The Parasitic Empress wants to devour the entire multi-layered universe.” Su Rong reminded.

Shen Ye nodded.

Therefore, there was still an important matter to undertake at this very moment—

“How can I gather all beings and worlds from the side of ‘Lan’ and bring them under my domain?”

He asked.

Su Rong explained:

“Years ago, when she parasitized the universe, the multi-layered cosmos split into two. The side of ‘Lan’ faced off against the Parasitic Empress, while Charlotte worked on deriving countermeasures.”

“The Three Techniques were created through the exhaustive use of the power of epochs within countless multi-layered universes.”

“I suspect one of the Three Techniques can suppress the Parasitic Empress.”

Shen Ye nodded slightly.

The strength of the multi-layered universe lies in its ability to evolve endlessly.

If there exists a technique to suppress the Parasitic Empress, then he knew what needed to be done.

—Stall for time.

The longer he stalled, the more time he had for his substitute to train.

At the very least—

Until the moment all his attributes matured, allowing him to summon the Technique Spirit “Lancy” to unleash the true Heaven-Shaking Technique!

In an even grander expectation—

If he could summon three Technique Spirits, then this battle would be secure.

But that would be extremely difficult.

Ultimately.

Time was still the deciding factor.

His identity card trembled slightly.

Shen Ye picked it up and glanced at it, seeing a single line of text:

“Next round, it’s your turn.”

It’s my turn!

The lounge’s door opened, and two uniformed professionals approached Shen Ye.

“You’re up next.”

One of them said.

“Do you have any questions regarding this match? You can raise them now.” The other added.

“During our previous expedition, my blade broke, which means I currently don’t have any weapon for combat.” Shen Ye shrugged.

The top floor of the arena.

A secret room.

The young girl Su Su tapped the table gently with her finger, pondering before she spoke:

“Given your team’s acquisition of the Dwarf Demon’s treasure and the S-level rating, let him choose any long blade from the armory at will.”

The moment the words fell, the professional cards in the hands of the two individuals trembled.

One of them read aloud:

“Given your team’s acquisition of the Dwarf Demon’s treasure and the S-level rating, you are allowed to pick any long blade from the armory at will.”

“They really treat me well. I feel even more motivated.” Shen Ye smiled.

He followed the two professionals into the armory and arrived at the weapon rack housing bladed weapons.

Among the myriad weapons.

Shen Ye immediately set his eyes on a particular long blade.

It was a fiery red long blade.

—In stark contrast to the green bone blade formed from the Big Skeleton.

This blade was not only wider and heftier but also significantly larger than typical blades—

It was nearly two meters long!

Shen Ye stepped forward and gripped the blade, instantly feeling a blazing force akin to flames surging into his hand.

Lines of glowing text appeared:

“Cloud Shadow.”

“Unsharpened, an ancient secret transmission blade.”

“Description: Targets a specific opponent; with each successive attack, progressively enhances the fire elemental power of the blade, reaching infinite levels.”

“—The longer you endure, the more invincible you become.”

What a weapon!

Shen Ye’s eyes sparkled as he casually swung the blade.

With each casual movement of the blade, fiery light surged forth like rippling streams, reflecting in the sky like dazzling rays of dawn.

—This was called “Cloud Shadow”!

Human and blade bonded, yet distinctly separate, Shen Ye’s gaze fixated on the blade, unable to part with it.

“Have you made your selection?”

One of the professionals accompanying him asked.

“I have.” Shen Ye sheathed the blade, smiling as he replied.

“Please follow us; it’s time to head to the arena.” The professional said.

Shen Ye followed the two men while diverting part of his attention, focusing on the blade.

His heart stirred, and instantly glowing words appeared in lines:

“You have activated the primordial entry ‘Mastermind’.”

“Random prefix matching for the blade is now underway. Please note, prefixes are being replaced continuously. Choose wisely!”

Prefixes emerged on the blade:

“Luminous, dull, renowned, ancient, damaged, wicked…”

Prefixes flickered endlessly.
