Chapter 1126: Chapter 508 Truth Land! _3

“One move to determine victory.”

Mandatory battle rules!

Shen Ye’s heart sank as he became alert once more.

This guy is pretty strong!

His attributes are all designed to force a win in battles.

But–

If it’s a one-on-one duel, it’s actually more suitable for me to win.

“Here he comes again, and this time I can’t intervene. Your life or death will be decided by him, kid.”

The Ship of Destruction said in a schadenfreude tone.

“You haven’t seen me for a long time.” Shen Ye said.

With a ‘clang’, the Rain Blade unsheathed, gripped in his hand.

He assumed a defensive stance, holding his breath and waiting.

One breath.

Two breaths.

A spear suddenly emerged from the void, piercing through Shen Ye’s chest, lifting his entire body high.

The man, with the “Dark Lone Wanderer” floating above his head, suddenly appeared.

He raised the spear high, lifting the struggling Shen Ye, and laughed loudly:

“Hahaha! You assassinated the previous Duke, and now you’ve been assassinated by me from behind!”

“This is your fate, kid!”

“In your next life, hone your sword techniques well–at least block one of my moves before venturing out again!”

The spear shook.

Shen Ye’s body was instantly torn apart.

Killed in one move!

The man withdrew his spear, looking up with a proud expression, and shouted:

“Ship of Destruction, from now on, you are mine!”

“Come, submit before me!”

The Ship of Destruction hovered in mid-air, sighed after a long while, and said in a muffled voice:

“I must admit something.”

“What is it?” the man asked.

“I underestimated you from the start–I didn’t expect even your sword techniques to be of such a level, so from now on, I don’t think my loss is unjustified.” The Ship of Destruction said.

The man was somewhat surprised.

It mentioned sword techniques…

But the weapon I used was a spear…

What’s going on here?

The next moment.

The man suddenly felt an unprecedented pain.

He saw a headless body kneeling on the ground, wearing a full set of battle armor, holding a spear, pointing to the void.

This is–

This is my own body!

How could this be?

What’s actually happening here!

The man’s eyes frantically darted around, observing the surroundings, and it was only through the reflection in the shiny metallic armor that he saw himself.

Only a head remained of himself.

The head had been chopped off, rolling on the ground.

So it was I who lost to that move, getting my head chopped off?

Absurd!

Absurd!!!

Duke Baxter’s voice reached his ears one last time:

“Killing him would have earned you a lot of attribute points, Ship of Destruction, you really missed out this time by standing aside.”

The man still wanted to say something, but endless darkness enveloped his sight.

Eternal darkness.

In mid-air.

The Ship of Destruction remained silent for several breaths, then asked:

“Just now, did that sword technique have a name?”

“Yes, it did.”

“What is it?”

“Chaos Heaven, you can call it the Heavenly Slash.” Shen Ye said.

Faint small characters appeared in the void, displaying a prompt for that last move:

“Chaos Heaven.”

“Truth 21st Rank Slash Technique, the ultimate way of the sword.”

“Description: Displays a dream-like slash with supreme power, immersing the enemy in an unguarded and helpless dream, making them unable to defend or attack, only to offer their throat for death.”

“–Like a flower not a flower, like a fog not a fog, coming as a spring dream for not long, leaving like the morning cloud without trace.”

“Note: This power can only be achieved when performed with the Dharma Aspect of Truth Creation; otherwise, the power of the sword technique is reduced to only about thirty percent of its original strength.”

In the Dharma Aspect.

Su Su yawned and murmured:

“I’m very tired too–almost like Charlotte.”

“I apologize. I’m ashamed to exhaust my Dharma Aspect so much. I’ll try not to unleash its power too often in the future.” Shen Ye transmitted.

Su Su’s voice suddenly rose:

“You can’t do that, you’ve come this far, achieved the Three Forms of Truth Saber Technique, and gained the Three Pure Ones Dharma Forms–I’ll hang on for a bit longer, you must also be careful, you cannot die.”

“Alright,” Shen Ye said.

At this moment.

Brenna suddenly moved, then quickly regained her mobility.

“Duke, I was controlled just now–ah!!!”

She suddenly screamed.

“What is it?” Shen Ye asked.

“This corpse–it’s Duke Weiss, he actually came personally to kill you!”

The secretary stared at the headless corpse on the ground, in utter disbelief.

“This is a Duke?” Shen Ye asked unexpectedly.

“Yes, he’s known as the most battle-hardened among the three Dukes, never having been defeated when taking action personally, and you’re the first!”

Brenna said.

Shen Ye looked at the corpse kneeling on the ground, then glanced outside.

…It doesn’t feel good.

Killing Duke Weiss, I’m sure to inherit everything from him.

“Brenna, are there stronger Destruction Servants above the three Dukes?” Shen Ye immediately asked.

“Yes!”

Brenna understood and quickly said, “When you inherit the Duke’s power and position, it won’t be easy for them to come after you.”

“Understood–I’ll seek refuge in Truth Land. Is there anything else I should know?”

“You’re wise, no further advice, just prove you are alive every hour using the scepter.” Brenna said.

“OK.”

Shen Ye finished speaking, stepped forward to grab the scepter, and swung it forcefully.

A force of teleportation emanated from the scepter.

Then–

A dizziness overtook Shen Ye.

Shen Ye’s feet landed on solid ground.

All around it was pitch black.

Looking closely–

It was an underground mine vein, scattered with many rocks, and digging tools that had long decayed.

“We’re back.” Su Su remarked.

“Yes, we’re back,” Shen Ye also remarked.

Even knowing this place is dangerous, it’s still comforting to leave the space occupied by the Will of Destruction, giving a sense of returning home.

The scepter in hand emitted a soft hum.

Soon, faint words appeared in the void:

“Survive here for 24 hours, and you shall be deemed eligible to become a Duke.”

“Start!”

Shen Ye stood up, leaning on the scepter, and said:

“Su Su, what kind of place is this Truth Land?”

“I awoke from here.” Su Su said.

“What!”

“All twenty-one Ultimate Creations awoke from here–maybe you could try digging, you might unearth the twenty-second.”

“You’re messing with me.”

“No joke–but I advise you to be careful, I’m almost exhausted myself.”

Su Su yawned and fell asleep in the Dharma Aspect.

Leaving only Shen Ye alone.

He stood alone in the depths of the dark mine, searching for a safe spot.
