Chapter 248 Door of the Unknown!
As for "No Life"——
Shen Ye murmured softly:
"Guanghan."
A mirror of ice crystals materialized before his eyes.
He faced the mirror, his hands forming a spell seal, and performed "Existence in Mirror."
His figure quietly appeared in the icy mirror.
"Your spiritual power has decreased by 5 points, your current spiritual power is 0."
Shen Ye looked around.
Behind him was the real world outside the mirror.
Whereas he stood in the Mirror World, having produced another mirror and performed "Existence in Mirror."
Then——
His physique moved, diving into the ice mirror.
——This is a mirror within a mirror!
So the Reversed Body in this mirror is also the reversal of the Reversed Body\'s reversal.
Negative times negative equals positive.
This is a complete body with all attributes full.
It possesses all the skills identical to his original body, without any discrepancy!
A line of tiny luminescent characters surfaced once more:
"It is impossible for you to have two bodies existing in the mirror at the same time; you must place one body in the outside world."
The body with zero spiritual power was left by Shen Ye in the Mirror World outside.
He used this body, full in attributes, within the mirror within the Mirror World, to continue practicing "Existence in Mirror."
Once.
Twice.
Thrice.
He only had enough spiritual power to cast it one more time!
Shen Ye released the Guanghan Energy, condensing it into an ice crystal mirror.
The fourth Existence in Mirror!
The Reversed Body appeared within the icy mirror.
——A Reversed Body with all attributes full!
He reached his hand out, pressing it on the mirror surface, and dove straight through.
A line of tiny luminescent characters surfaced once more:
"It is impossible for you to have two bodies existing in the mirror at the same time; you must place one body in the outside world."
The body devoid of blue, the color of mana, was directly released.
He was now in the mirror within the mirror within the Mirror World!!!
——He continued to practice "Existence in Mirror" using this new body, full of mana.
Practice.
Practice, practice, practice——
Mad practice, without the need to worry about the depletion of spiritual power.
As soon as spiritual power was expended, he would immediately enter a new mirror to switch bodies and continue practicing.
Practice with no thought for sleep or food.
Practice without pause.
Mad practice!
At last——
Three hours and twenty-nine minutes.
Shen Ye formed a seal with his hands and, as the Technique was about to succeed, he suddenly felt an odd fluctuation.
The Technique...
Was changing.
Faint luminescence emerged, resolving into lines of text:
"Through an immense amount of mad practice, your skill \'Existence in Mirror\' has advanced to the First Layer of the Law Domain."
"Legal Domain Level One: I Exist in the Mirror."
"Description: You and all things are reversed, and your fundamental ability \'Door\' has undergone even more changes after reversal."
"Special supplemental power: You may exist in all mirrors."
"Additional special ability: Within one second after completing the body switch, you are in an undamageable state."
——Nothing else changed, just gained 1 second of invulnerability!
Put simply, this is "Invincibility."
Although it lasts only for one second, a lot can happen in that time.
And the \'Door\' ability after reversal.
This is very good!!!
Shen Ye closed his eyes slightly, letting his emotions gradually calm down.
Next.
The most important moment has arrived!
Shen Ye waited a few more minutes, then leaped into the ice mirror to switch bodies.
——This time, the new Reversed Body was created using the "Existence in Mirror" of the First Layer of the Law Domain.
It could now withstand the Blood Bead of the king species!
Shen Ye flicked his ring, producing the golden Blood Bead.
Yet the golden Blood Bead looked different from before——
Its glow had dimmed significantly.
No longer radiating the vibrant force it once had, it instead gave off a murky and insubstantial feeling when looked upon.
Perhaps the major part of its strength had been used up by the "Destiny\'s End · Banner of the Nest," such that it was about to vanish?
No good!
Hurry! There\'s no time!
Shen Ye tilted his head back, swallowing the Blood Bead.
A familiar sensation began to emerge.
Power surged through his body unstoppably, the emanating waves coalescing into wind from nothingness.
All Attribute Points spiraled upwards insanely.
In mere seconds, all his attributes surpassed 200 points and kept rising!
Taking advantage of this moment——
"Assume the role of \'Dark Devourer\'."
Shen Ye declared.
Lines of faint luminescent text appeared out of the void, frantically displaying before his eyes:
"Your current All Attributes have reached the minimal requirements for role assumption."
"Acquiring confirmation from the Origin of the Dharma Realm."
"Please wait."
Theoretically, the Dharma Realm is the source of power for all rules across the vast universe.
——Confirmation should be quick!
The next moment.
The surging momentum on Shen Ye\'s body vanished.
He paused, realizing immediately with his Comprehension over 700 points what had happened.
——The power in that drop of blood had been exhausted.
Over long years, it had been tested for various purposes, consumed, and forced to activate.
Until today, when he used it to perform that Technique.
Finally——
The strength of it ran out!
Shen Ye saw "Strength, Agility, Spiritual Power, Comprehension, Resonance," the Five Major Attributes, appear before his eyes.
Each Attribute was rapidly declining.
"Damn it, make it quick... hurry up and succeed in role assumption!"
Shen Ye muttered under his breath.
The Mirror World was silent, all peaceful and quiet.
But Shen Ye felt that time was passing unbearably slowly.
If all of his attributes dropped below 200 points before the confirmation in the Law Domain ended—
He would lose his qualification.
All his effort would be for naught!
Shen Ye watched as his Five Major Attributes continuously fell.
—They had already dropped to 400 points!
And were still falling!
"Strange... Why is the verification speed of the Law Domain so slow? Is the internet not working?"
With a thought, he suddenly rushed out of the mirror.
Perhaps it was because he had wrapped himself in too many layers of mirrors, affecting the "internet speed" of the Law Domain!
This idea was somewhat far-fetched.
But Shen Ye could think of no better explanation.
Whoosh!
Shen Ye leaped out of a mirror made of ice, then plunged into the next one.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—
He kept jumping back, passing through thousands of mirrors, all the way rushing towards the real world.
All Attribute Points fell to 300!
Crash!
The sound of ice shattering rang out.
Shen Ye landed on solid ground.
This was a secret tunnel.
The Great Skeleton had cast silence and concealment Necromancy, sealing the entire tunnel, and was now crouching at one side on full alert.
He was back!
He had returned to the real world!
Correspondingly, the body that remained in the real world instantly vanished, fading into the Mirror World.
Shen Ye stood in the tunnel, aimlessly looking into the void—
Specks of light materialized into continuously tumbling words:
"The Blood Bead of the king species has fused into your blood, exhausting all its special powers."
"Your Attribute Points continue to fall."
"All Attributes 230;"
"All Attributes 220;"
—It\'s too late!
"Distribute evenly, all in."
Shen Ye murmured softly.
In the blink of an eye—
He invested his 24.1 free attribute points evenly across the five attributes.
It was a desperate measure!
But then he saw the Five Major Attributes pause for a moment, before resuming their fall.
"All Attributes 210;"
"All Attributes 200;"
"Appointment successful."
"All Attributes 190;"
"All Attributes 180;"
"..."
Shen Ye\'s legs went soft—
Even though his attributes were still over 100 points, he just couldn\'t stand up and fell to the ground.
"What\'s wrong with you?"
The Great Skeleton couldn\'t help but ask.
Shen Ye waved his hand, unable to utter a single word, just leaning against the cold wall, not wanting to move at all.
It really was a matter of a split second.
Fortunately, he made it in time.
Several breaths passed.
All Attribute Points finally settled at 20 points and stopped falling.
These were Shen Ye\'s normal attribute points.
"Hey, are you okay?" the Great Skeleton rushed over, squatting in front of him, and asked with concern.
"I\'m fine, just let me rest for a bit."
"Alright."
The Great Skeleton ran off again, guarding the entrance of the tunnel.
Shen Ye took a moment to recover.
A strange power was being born within his body.
Corresponding specks of light in the void issued a reminder:
"Congratulations."
"You have been appointed as \'Dark Devourer\'."
"Cosmic Roaming Profession, special species (king species) Profession."
"This appointment has granted you the Emperor\'s Species Dharma Aspect: Destiny\'s End."
"You have acquired the \'Dark Devourer\' Professional Skill:
"Banner of the Nest."
All the words flickered, then suddenly changed again.
"Your attributes are too low."
"You are currently unable to activate the Emperor\'s Species Dharma Aspect or use the inherent professional skills."
—This was normal.
To cast such a Dharma Aspect and Techniques, probably at least 200 points in All Attributes would be required.
So there was nothing surprising about this.
But having obtained the profession, he could look forward to it as soon as he truly reached the corresponding attribute points in the future.
"Let\'s go, the task is complete," Shen Ye said.
"Are we going back?" the Great Skeleton asked.
"Yes, back."
The door opened.
The two returned to the Great Tomb.
Underground passage.
Lilias made no response.
Dark and silent all around.
—Shall we continue to explore deeper into the Great Tomb?
No, there\'s still one thing left unclear.
Shen Ye was now eager to try what exactly was the situation with the "Door of the Unknown," which had been reversed through the Professional Skill "Existence in Mirror."
It seemed that the "Door of the Unknown" did not possess any World Link power? Explore more adventures at empire
"Door!"
He called out softly.
The ground trembled slightly.
Soon, a white door rose from the ground and appeared in front of Shen Ye.
What use was it?
Last time.
When the Two-Worlds Connecting Gate awakened, that voice had explained it to him.
Now that voice had fallen into slumber.
It was up to him!
Shen Ye placed his hand on the white door and pushed hard.
The door immediately swung open.
