Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

——Wherever Qu Ru went, all the Undead turned to flying ash.

It was headed towards Shen Ye!

Shen Ye gripped the Night Hidden Sword and, with a burst of speed, finally darted to the surface.

The surrounding Undead didn't attack him but were preoccupied with fleeing in all directions.

Shen Ye blended into the crowd, feigning a panic-stricken face, and ran wildly along with a few werewolves.

"Be careful!"

The giant Skeleton shouted.

Shen Ye looked back.

Heaven.

The entire sky was engulfed in flames.

——This was because Qu Ru had erupted into a torrent of flaming breath from midair.

The boundless flames, like a colossal wave, advanced from afar, sweeping over everything on the ground.

Everything on the ground was being consumed by it.

"It's too late, go back——back to your world!"

The giant Skeleton said in a trembling voice.

Go back?

This was the first time entering a new day.

If he went back now, what would happen to the Entries?

——It had been a long time since he'd gotten any free attribute points!

Shen Ye was reluctant to give up.

Yet, those undead who ran slower than him had already been buried in the sea of fire.

The tidal wave of fire was chasing after him.

If he didn't leave now, he might be devoured in the next second.

"Damn it..."

There was really no other way.

But he needed those Entries!

Shen Ye sprinted forward with all his might, widening the distance from the flames, then suddenly turned around and shouted loudly:

"——Come with me for some fun, lovely darlings threaded through the earth and sky with love and truth!"

A faint light gathered, frenziedly morphing into text:

"You have used a Dark Gold (Unmatched) Entry: Joyous Being."

"Existing fun invoked: Rabbit Dance (from the Diva Profession)."

"The designated target for this round of fun: Qu Ru and all the surrounding Undead."

"As the master of fun this round, you hold the power of this Dark Gold entry in your hands, possessing a certain control, no longer fearing attacks from external forces."

"This Dark Gold Entry's power ignores all defenses, races, techniques, talents, and strength levels of the target."

"——It starts!"

Facing the endless flames, Shen Ye began to sing:

"Stop——"

The flames rushed at him.

However, Shen Ye stood unyielding, elongating the note as he sang loudly:

"——Stop————"

Qu Ru's whole body shook uncontrollably and finally slowly closed its mouth.

In the instant before Shen Ye was engulfed, the endless fires completely extinguished, transforming into a raging wind blowing fiercely towards him.

In this call of "stop," not only Qu Ru but also the various attacks and defenses of all the surrounding Undead were halted.

"——Cease————"

Shen Ye sang the second word.

The colossal figure of Qu Ru crashed to the ground, bringing its three heads close to Shen Ye, struggling tremendously to control its form, trying multiple times to lunge forward and devour him whole.

But Shen Ye remained unmoved.

Just like a halted vehicle, Qu Ru, despite making "clack clack clack" noises, ultimately couldn't resist that power.

——The power of a Dark Gold Entry!

Even so——

Shen Ye glanced at Qu Ru again.

The moment he stopped singing, Qu Ru's body would burst into flames, seemingly ready to break free at any time!

That wouldn't do!

Shen Ye turned and strutted forward, continuing to sing:

"Stopping by the maple woods at dusk to sit in love, frost on the moon redder than February flowers, oh flowers, what a beautiful jasmine flower!"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Qu Ru followed behind him with heavy steps, its three heads painfully articulating the words:

"What a beautiful... jasmine flower."

It took the bait!

Shen Ye swiped at his ring.

The giant skeleton suddenly emerged, darting around Qu Ru like a shadow, striking continuously at its weak spots.

Qu Ru's skeleton clanged like metal upon metal.

It wasn't harmed in the slightest.

"Hey, no good, can't even scratch it——it's too strong!" the giant skeleton exclaimed.

Damn it.

It didn't shed blood, and even if he could control it, it was pointless.

Shen Ye sang with vigor:

"Oh flowers, oh beauty——"

"A little bee, oh, flew into the flowers, fly oh!"

Clang!

The Night Hidden Short Sword was thrown by him.

This sword had both "High-Level Sharpness" and "High-Level Piercing" Traits; maybe it would work!

The giant Skeleton caught the Night Hidden Short Sword in mid-air and directly slashed at Qu Ru.

Whirring——

It was like slicing fruits and vegetables; Qu Ru's skeleton was instantly cleaved apart, bones continually falling to the ground.

"What a fine sword!"

The giant Skeleton praised before looking again at Qu Ru.

The hellish creature continued to sing along behind Shen Ye:

"A little bee, oh, swung into the flowers, swing oh!"

——It could not break free from the power of this Dark Gold Level Entry.

At this moment, Shen Ye himself gained a certain insight.

Officer Wu once said——

The progression of Professionals from weak to strong follows this order:

Successful enlistment, Normal Profession, Rare Profession, Rare Professionals with a 'name.'

The "name" he possessed was "Joyous Being."

His Profession was "Diva."

Whether battling Song Qingyun or here against Qu Ru from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, what he used were the Professional Skills of the "Diva" with the name "Joyous Being."

He had personally experienced something——

This combination of "name" and "Profession" resulted in a terrifying burst of power!

If one day, he were to develop Professional Skills for the "Night Roamer" with the name "Joyous Being," what kind of scene would that be?

"Little bee, fly!"

He clapped his hands and sang in front.

"Little bee, flutter!"

Qu Ru followed along singing behind, while being continuously slain by the large skeleton.

Finally—

The short sword flashed.

Qu Ru's body completely disintegrated.

Its three heads rolled to the ground, eyes wide open, with an expression of extreme unwillingness on its face.

"Quick! Collect its corpse!"

Shen Ye shouted loudly.

The large skeleton also came to its senses.

The two worked swiftly, sweeping through like a whirlwind, thoroughly collecting Qu Ru's corpse.

In the sky.

A piercing voice suddenly rang out:

"Such an interesting fellow, after eating it, it must be a great tonic!"

Whoosh—

A figure suddenly emerged, standing opposite Shen Ye.

This was a strange being wearing a wooden mask.

It was covered in grey-white, with long and sharp nails on both hands, hunched back, and a physique even a few inches shorter than Shen Ye.

Behind it, all sorts of skeleton bones piled up into a mountain, forming an illusory endless skeleton wall.

Dharma Aspect!

It revealed its Dharma Aspect as soon as it appeared, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.

Shen Ye's entire body became somewhat stiff.

The shadow of death loitered in his heart—

This guy, having witnessed Qu Ru's fate, dared to show up, was definitely not simple.

"Door!"

Whoosh—

Shen Ye made a decisive move, suddenly jumping underground, sliding through the door back to the Main World, disappearing from the sight of that monster.

Main World.

Shen Ye fell straight down, hitting the floor, with his nose and brow bone painfully smacked.

Glimmering words continuously appeared:

"The opponent invites you to a combat dance battle."

"You are both special professions, and your battle is about to—"

"You have left the Wind and Fire Hell."

"The opponent's skills cannot be initiated across worlds, invitation has failed."

Luckily!

Shen Ye heaved a sigh of relief.

The opponent's ability to produce a Dharma Aspect proved its "combat dance" strength was at least at the First Layer of the Law Domain.

And himself?

His Diva Skill hadn't reached that level yet!

Next time going to Hell, he must be more cautious, especially since there were too many bizarre professions.

Impossible to guard against them all.

"Large Skeleton, where are you?"

Shen Ye asked, lying on the ground.

"I'm inside the ring, but Shen Ye, what's up with your voice?" the Large Skeleton replied.

"Voice?"

Shen Ye repeated.

His throat was not only a bit hoarse but also began to feel a dull pain.

"Shen Ye," the Large Skeleton said in shock, "what's happened to you? Why aren't you speaking?"

Shen Ye tried to speak.

But as soon as his throat moved, he felt a stabbing pain.

How could this happen! Continue your adventure at mvl

Glimmering text emerged as a passage:

"The power of the Dark Gold Entry is immensely strong, and your Diva profession has yet to reach the First Layer of Law Domain strength, but still, you have used it twice!"

"Your throat is injured and needs time to recover."

"—Diva! Take care of yourself!"

Shen Ye hadn't finished reading before he started to gasp for breath.

Panting like a bull.

Too exhausted.

Not just his throat, but his entire body's attributes had dropped across the board, looking utterly drained.

The Entry? He should have obtained an Entry by now!

Lying on the ground, Shen Ye first took out and ate a few of the little pills Xiao Mengyu had given him before looking up into the void.

A line of glimmering text had already appeared:

"This entry gained from opening the door:"

"Hell Fighting Singer."

"Green Entry (Outstanding)."

"Description: When you and your target engage in a singing performance match, no one can interfere with your battle."

"Evaluation: No one dares to interfere with a battle between special professions, unless they're seeking death."

"—This is a battle between artists."

"You can keep this Evaluation Entry, upgrading it in the future; or you can devour the Entry, thus obtaining Basic Attribute Points."

Shen Ye quickly finished reading.

No—

The direction was wrong.

In fact, against such an enemy, the best tactic was not to let it unfold that power.

So, next time he went to Hell again, he would have to change strategies.

There are too many monsters in Hell, swarming like a tide; however strong one may be, there's always something stronger.

He and the Large Skeleton must find the Underworld Lord as quickly as possible!

What to do?

"Devour." Shen Ye thought to himself.

The Green Entry "Hell Fighting Singer" was instantly devoured, transforming into 3 free attribute points.

"Current free attribute points: 13."

Shen Ye haphazardly added these 13 attribute points to his Strength, Agility, Spiritual Power, Comprehension, and Resonance.

Spirit and Physical Strength instantly recovered.

He stood up, tried to speak, and his throat didn't hurt as much.

"I might have used my power too much, and that's why my voice was damaged," Shen Ye said.

His voice was still somewhat raspy.

It seems he needs to take it easy for a while.

"Hell is terrifying, if it weren't for your portal linking the two worlds, we'd probably have died there," the Large Skeleton said with lingering fear.
