On the mountaintop.
ââThe Destruction Queen was gravely injured, leaning closely against Shen Ye, eyes closed, she said:
"In the past, for revenge, I made a vow in the Destruction Abyss, that if I could acquire the strength to slay him, I would willingly serve the Will of Destruction."
"I have gained that power."
"But he has acquired the ability to merge with Destruction itself, allowing him to become a part of the rules, returning to the Destruction Tribulation from time to time."
"Thatâs why I could never kill him."
Shen Ye pondered and said, "Then we can only ambush him, and it must be a fatal strike, otherwise heâll escape."
"Not only does he escape, but he also returns to the Destruction Tribulation."
The Destruction Queen got up and dressed, her expression full of worry:
"The real danger is that whenever he returns to the Destruction Tribulation, he can manipulate its power."
"ââIt might be coming soon."
"What can he do?" Shen Ye asked.
As soon as he spoke, Shen Ye felt a sudden tug at his heart, and he couldnât help but look up.
The sky was still gloomy.
However, the infinite sea of clouds began to slowly descend towards the earth.
Thus the earth was shrouded in mist, obscuring all surrounding scenes.
Lines of faint glowing words appeared:
"The power of Destruction Dharma Image·Ten Thousand Cities has increased."
"Current designated Duke of Destruction, Baxter, enters the enhanced selection."
"You will enter the endless history of Destruction."
"In the clash between civilization and destruction, if you survive, only then are you qualified for the second round of selection!"
"Begin!"
The mist enveloped the mountain peak, also covering Shen Ye.
The Destruction Queen hastily said:
"He wants you deadâyouâll enter many brutal battles, both sides will regard you as an enemy."
"Thereâs no way to escape!"
Yet Shen Ye seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
The teleportation fluctuations grew stronger, and he was about to be taken awayââ
He suddenly drew a long blade and stabbed it into the Destruction Queenâs body.
The Destruction Queen was stunned for a moment, instinctively wanting to dodge, but finally she accepted it quietly, standing still to endure the strike.
"Why kill me?"
She asked in a low voice.
Shen Ye gently said, "Not to kill you, hold stillââ"
The long blade emitted a resonant hum.
Sky-reaching Slash.
The Destruction Queenâs eyes widened, shivering involuntarily.
She watched her wounds healing rapidly at a visible speed, and all blood and filth disappearing.
ââShe was restored to her peak state!
Shen Ye said:
"The Master of the End is seriously injured right now, but your wounds are completely healed."
"Go, suppress him!"
"Donât let him interfere with matters on Earth again."
"Wait for me to returnââ"
Before he finished speaking.
Shen Ye, along with the Rain Blade in his hand, simultaneously pierced into the void, disappearing instantly.
He wasnât sure how long he had flown.
Time seemed to become an unknown concept.
Shen Ye suddenly landed in a trench filled with severed arms and limbs.
Dozens of spears simultaneously thrusted towards him from all directions.
Shen Ye smiled, reached out to grab one spear, and swung it in the air, creating sword light.
In a moment.
The entire battlefield was filled with his swinging sword light, in the hundreds of millions.
"Did you really think you could kill me like this?"
Shen Ye muttered.
Faint glowing words appeared as small letters:
"You are drawing elements from the current history, participating in the battle on the battlefield."
He suddenly moved.
Nowhere on the battlefield could block his actions.
Wherever he went, he killed.
All the servants of Destruction couldnât withstand a single move from him.
Until tens of minutes later.
"Congratulations."
"You have continuously slaughtered and absorbed strength, advancing soon."
Shen Ye stood motionless.
A figure quietly appeared opposite him.
The Master of the End!
However, at this moment, what appeared before Shen Ye was not the real Master of the End, but his shadow.
"Are you really that afraid of me?" Shen Ye asked.
"Stop deceiving yourself, Baxter, I fought with her to a mutual defeat, otherwise, there wouldnât be any advantage for you to take," the Master of the End said.
"Have you never thought that..."
"What?"
"She fought you to a mutual defeat, only because she was following my orders as her master."
The shadow opposite him fell silent.
Faint glowing words appeared once more:
"You have pushed the opponentâs anger to new heights, reaching a level of exceeding fury."
"Your resonance with Sky Shattering Slash has further deepened."
"Please continue your efforts!"
Good.
Everything is going according to plan.
"Baxter, stop spouting nonsense, Iâve come to say goodbye."
"ââI will recover from my injuries."
"And you will die in a situation where no one has ever survived."
For some reason, a hint of fear appeared on the Master of the Endâs face, as he continued:
"Its power is simple, but its terror, you people of this world have no idea."
Shen Ye suddenly sensed something, looking down.
At some point, his legs had been shackled by black chains.
Interesting...
It seemed that it wasnât just teleporting him over, there were new tricks.
"Randomly issuing destruction tasks, failing to complete results in immediate erasure."
"ââNo reasoning applied."
"Despair, be afraidââ"
"No one has ever survived this move."
The shadow of the Master of the End finished speaking, gradually turning into dispersed light spots, disappearing.
Shen Ye moved slightly.
Shackles...
Iâm not Yagami.
Isnât this cosplay a bit too much?
Just as he was about to act, he heard the chains clanking for a while.
An idea immediately surfaced in Shen Yeâs mind:
"Endless Destruction Task initiated."
"Kill twenty-five soldiers within ten minutes."
"Succeed, and you can survive."
"Failure means instant erasure!"
Itâs very simple.
Shen Ye casually waved his spear and charged into the battlefield, killing twenty-five human soldiers.
Ding!
"Task completed!"
"The next task will commence in seven minutes!"
Itâs done.
Shen Ye formed a spell seal with both hands.
Heavenly Technique!
Death transformed into a dream and vanished.
The soldiers stood up again, bewildered.
"Werenât we dead?"
"Was it a dream?"
"Terrifying..."
They glanced at Shen Ye with fear and turned to flee.
Shen Ye paid them no mind.
Being thrown into endless wars on this side, bound by these shackles, he could only use them to bide time and draw the enemyâs attention.
He squatted down and poked the shackles with his spear.
A crisp clinking sound resonated from the shackles.
Not a single scratch.
They are very hard!
A dim light emerged into a line of small text:
"Destruction Shackles."
"Record-type ultimate destruction artifact."
"Description: Only the top record holder can temporarily survive."
"ââStrive to embrace death!"
This thing...
Killed many people, and currently, there seems to be no countermeasure.
It seems hoping to win this round from here is impossible.
Need to think of another way.
Shen Ye thought silently.
Earth.
On the mountain peak.
Once Shen Ye left, only the Destruction Queen remained.
"To deal with the Master of the End, making him too busy to care about anything elseâthis is what you want me to do?"
"Rest assured..."
She stepped into the void and disappeared.
At this moment, letâs jump out of the linearity of time and look at a period later.
When Charlotte and Su Su awoke and went to seek justice from the Destruction Queen.
They first discovered one thing.
At that time, the Destruction Queen shattered this entry in a situation specifically meant to anger the Master of the End.
There was a reason for it.
She wasnât truly "bullying" Shen Ye.
Then, Charlotte and Su Su discovered another thing.
The Destruction Queen remained intact.
And thus the misunderstanding was resolved.
Their weapons were stored away, flags ceased to wave, and the world returned to peace.
This is an afterward.
But right now, Shen Ye was transported away, plunging into endless battles; the Destruction Queen went to trouble the Master of the End.
It seems like there was no hope left at all.
However, on another sideâ
Uncle Qiâs Breakfast Shop.
Uncle Qi rode his electric tricycle out, going to shop at the supermarket.
A while later.
A luxury sports car stopped in front of the breakfast shop.
Xie Lan stepped out of the car.
Knocked on the door.
"Come inâjust pull the door open."
Shen Yeâs voice came through.
Xie Lan bent over to pull open the shutter, walked inside, and pulled it back down.
He went straight through the dining area into the small courtyard at the back.
He saw Shen Ye sitting on a lounge chair, holding a long knife, deeply stabbed into his own body.
"Suicide?"
Xie Lan was startled.
"Am I the type to commit suicide?" Shen Ye glared at him.
ââThe first Shen Ye was beneath the tombstone.
The second Shen Ye went to the battlefield of destruction and civilization.
This is the third Shen Ye.
"Not suicide? Then what are youââ"
"Donât disturb, this is a critical moment. If I mess up, itâs over for me."
Hearing Shen Ye say this, Xie Lan silently sat across from him, quietly waiting.
Shen Ye slightly closed his eyes.
The knife.
Still pierced through his body.
But he pressed the knife with his hand, as if carefully evaluating something.
ââLike controlling the heat while cooking.
A few dozen breaths later.
Suddenly, he pulled hard and took the Rain Blade out, sheathing it.
A top his head, an entry quietly appeared:
"Mine!"
ââThe entry returned!
No.
To be precise, Shen Ye adjusted his body to this state!
A faint glow of small characters emerged in the void:
"You used the Sky-reaching Slash."
"You brought your body back to the state indicated by your sword intent, with no turning back."
"ââLonging to buy sweet osmanthus and drink wine together, yet never again, the carefree youth."
Having accomplished this task, Shen Ye heaved a large sigh of relief.
An event as severe as the worldâs destruction has been resolved!
"This entry is quite special." Xie Lan said in amazement.
Shen Ye, drenched in sweat, exhaustedly put down the knife and gasped:
"Alright, thereâs nothing much to see here."
"Why are you so tired?" Xie Lan asked again.
"Not enough power, I had to rely on that ship to provide the strength to complete this slash, how could I not be tired." Shen Ye replied.
"I came to see you this time to talk about your debut."
"Debut?"
"Yeah, didnât I tell you last time, debuting will allow many people to know you, making it easier for you to find people."
"I donât need it anymore now." Shen Ye said.
He recalled the faces he saw during the worldwide broadcast and remembered some of them.
Itâs time to meet these old friends.
The current situation desperately requires their strength!
