Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 539 - : 338

Chapter 539: 338

“Everyone, my people were just joking with that kid, no need to make a big fuss.”

He emphasized the word “kid” particularly heavily.

——Actually, he would have been better off not saying anything at all. The moment he spoke up, the Great Knights’ swords all pointed towards him.

“Do you think you can disgrace someone bearing the name of Saint Peiqi?”

The officer spoke coldly, making a cutting gesture.

Kill?

An idea suddenly sprang to Shen Ye’s mind.

Should I try the “Immortal Country Trial”?

Even if they survive, it’s over for them if I don’t agree they passed.

I need to see what this “Selection Officer” is all about.

“Initiate the trial—if you have the guts, survive.”

He silently chanted in his heart.

The next instant.

As soon as the officer completed his killing gesture, dozens of Great Knights attacked in unison.

“Damn it, as if you could—”

The leader of the soldiers shouted, attempting to rally his men to resist.

Suddenly, a fierce wave of sound erupted in the void.

Whoom!

The Great Knights all simultaneously executed a sword technique known as “Sonic Wave Slaughter.”

The invisible slashes instantly pierced through the camp.

Limbs and body parts were scattered everywhere!

Those soldiers were killed on the spot before they even had a chance to unleash their Dharma Aspects.

Shen Ye stood on the side, clenched his fists tightly, and didn’t make a sound.

——This was completely different from before!

The strength of these Great Knights, each and every one was at the Sixth Layer of the Magic Realm, and there was even one at the Law Domain Seventh Layer.

With extensive battlefield experience and a readiness to act ruthlessly, coordinating with one another, it was easy for them to kill those guys.

But——

Since when did the Human Race army become so strong?

Could it be the blessings of the Immortal Country?

Or is it that the Nine Aspects did not destroy this world’s defenses, and so the world has become even stronger?

“Clean up! The rest of you disperse!”

The officer ordered.

Immediately, several guards entered the tent to start clearing the bodies.

The others gradually dispersed.

Seeing that Shen Ye was still around, the officer smiled and clapped him on the shoulder:

“Brother Peiqi, don’t mind these uncouth outsiders. His Majesty personally inquired about you by letter, urging us to make it quick—you better hurry and select your people.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Shen Ye bid farewell to the other party and walked out of the tent.

Outside, a troop of Spear Soldiers had just arrived and were regrouping, while a messenger hastened over, communicating with the troop’s commander.

This bustling scene jolted Shen Ye back to his senses.

“Spear Soldiers…”

He took notice and realized that even the most ordinary soldiers on the front line possessed at least the First or Second Layer of the Law Domain.

A few days apart, and the Nightmare World has become so formidable?

Shen Ye walked forward leisurely.

A string of tiny glowing letters rapidly appeared before his eyes:

“The current Immortal Country Trial has concluded, all the examinees failed, none passed.”

“The expenses of this action are settled from the examinees’ contributions.”

“You have acquired a portion of their goods, directly transferred to your Dharma Aspect by the Immortal Country.”

“The remaining goods are taken by the Immortal Country as energy replenishment for initiating the trial.”

Shen Ye was startled.

So the Immortal Country knows how to live, quite savvy indeed.

And from its traits, it seems, like me, it can also casually put things into the Dharma Aspect.

——”Encounter Under the Moon at the Jade Terrace” and “Lunar Palace” both come from it.

Without this skill and Dharma Aspect, it’s impossible to coordinate with it.

No wonder I’m the “one and only” Selection Officer!

Shen Ye slowed his pace and walked over to a slope beside the road, overlooking the Training Ground below the camp.

In theory, the presence of someone idle like him at the camp, with a great battle looming, would be problematic.

The camp inspector immediately walked towards him, but upon recognizing “Saint Peiqi,” he just smiled and turned to tend to other matters.

——He indeed had the King’s permission to select people to take back to the Imperial City.

After all, this was a young man with the name of “Saint Peiqi.”

Coming from a Human Race territory that had been exterminated by the Undead, he was loyal and pure-hearted and had even saved the King’s life.

Why would they want to make trouble for him?

No one disturbed Shen Ye.

Instead, a few cookhouse soldiers passed by him, casually handing him a small tin jug full of grape juice.

“Thanks, brother.”

Shen Ye nodded his thanks to them.

“No need to mention it, Brother Peiqi.” The cookhouse soldiers grinned with a smile, carrying their provisions as they walked away.

Shen Ye observed the Professionals on the Training Ground while sipping the grape juice in small sips.

After a while, he focused his spiritual power on his Dharma Aspect.

Indeed, he saw a large two meter by two meter crate inside the Dharma Aspect.

“Shall I open it?”

The Great Skeleton asked.

“Let’s have a look inside.” Shen Ye said.

The Great Skeleton found a stick and poked at the large crate from a distance, trying to pry the lid open.

“Aren’t you being a bit too cautious?” Shen Ye teased.

“I have to be cautious, I’ve consulted the Book of the Undead; the runes on this crate form an ancient Defensive Spell, and we don’t have the corresponding opening runes.” The Great Skeleton explained.

Shen Ye thought for a moment and asked, “How many Books of the Undead does the Undead Empire have?”

“Several!” The Great Skeleton glared at him, “Only the Undead Monarch is entitled to command all the Undead, thus receiving this sole Book of the Undead from the Underworld Lord.”

“But you haven’t become the Monarch.” Shen Ye pointed out.

“I am the legitimate heir, now that my mother has been revived, guess whether I can become the Monarch once I return to the Undead Empire!” The Great Skeleton said proudly.

Shen Ye fell silent then.

He didn’t know the current state of the Undead Empire, so he refrained from speaking to prevent the Great Skeleton from worrying.

The crate was pried open.

A powerful Spell burst from the crate but flickered in the void and dissipated completely.

“Eh? That was underwhelming, wasn’t it?”
