Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

"My shell."

"It's still there."

The young beast from the boundary gate stopped at the edge of the central square of the old Jiangcheng.

It looked up at the remains of a beast egg beneath the shadow of the upside-down door.

The broken shell resembled shattered starlight.

Half transparent.

Half of it was pitch black.

Three black anchor chains descended from the void, anchoring themselves in three places on the remaining shell.

Each anchor chain is engraved with a different pattern.

The first one is a blood-red door pattern.

The second one is the White Bone Gate Pattern.

The third one is a purple-black thunder pattern.

Vampires.

Bone Clan.

Thunder Demon Clan.

Although the three Blood Gate altars were destroyed, the anchors they left behind are still locked to the shell of the Boundary Gate Cub.

Lu Chenzhou said in a deep voice:

"No wonder Tianyuan could see even more clearly after all three nails were broken."

"The altar is destroyed, and the outer nails are broken."

"But there's still an inner anchor here."

Xue Li's face looked very pale.

"The Blood Gate, Bone Gate, and Thunder Gate are all present."

"They didn't just use the altar to calibrate Shen Ye."

"They are also using this cub to locate the rift between the two worlds."

The young beast at the boundary gate whispered:

"They can't catch me."

"Just grab my shell."

Its voice was still immature, yet it carried a suppressed anger.

Shen Ye looked at the three anchor chains.

A system notification appears.

[Echoing Anchor Chain: Part Three.]

[Blood Gate Anchor Chain: Connects to the Ancestral Blood Mark.]

[Bone Gate Anchor Chain: Connecting the remains of the White Bone Forbidden Zone.]

[Thunder Gate Anchor Chain: Connecting the residual causal links of the Thunder Demon King's Gate.]

[Note: If the three anchors remain unbroken, the Boundary Gate Cub cannot complete the contract.]

Shen Ye raised his hand and gripped his sword.

"Sever."

Xue Li said urgently:

"etc."

Shen Ye looked at her.

Xue Li said:

"Anchor chains must not be broken carelessly."

"If the order of the cuts is wrong, the inverted door shadow may get out of control."

Lu Chenzhou nodded.

"She's right."

"The three anchor chains are respectively connected to the cause and effect of the three races."

"We must cut off the weakest one first."

Qin Wuji immediately looked at the purple-black lightning pattern.

"The Thunder Demon Clan one?"

Shen Ye thought of Lei Yutong.

The king's gate was beheaded.

The Thunder Demon King's finger bone was taken away.

He certainly dealt the most severe blows to the Thunder Demon Clan.

Jie Chen also fixed his gaze on the Thunder Gate anchor chain.

The Heavenly Punishment Eye on his forehead lit up.

The system notification will update accordingly.

[Recommended chain breaking order: Thunder Gate anchor chain, Bone Gate anchor chain, Blood Gate anchor chain.]

[Warning: When the Blood Gate anchor chain is severed for the last time, the Ancestral Blood Mark will backfire.]

Shen Ye said:

"First, Lei."

Qin Wuji grinned.

"I'm familiar with this."

He took a step forward, and the phantom image of Emperor Lei Zupeng appeared.

Lightning struck the purplish-black anchor chain.

Suddenly, the residual karma of the Thunder Demon King's Gate on the anchor chain lit up.

A purple-black king's eye appeared.

The afterimage of Lei Yutong.

"The Night King!"

"It's you again!"

Shen Ye glanced at it.

"Are you still not completely dead?"

Qin Wuji almost burst out laughing.

Lei Yutong roared, his afterimage unleashing a torrent of purplish-black lightning along the anchor chain.

Qin Wuji took the hit head-on, his entire body exploding with lightning.

"Shen Ye!"

"Quickly strike!"

Jie Chen opened his mouth and spat out the Heavenly Punishment Lock.

The gray-white lock mark pinned the anchor chain of the thunder gate.

The purplish-black lightning suddenly paused.

Shen Ye stepped forward.

The black and gold short sword slashed down.

Click!

The anchor chain of the gate broke.

Lei Yutong's afterimage let out a furious roar of resentment before being completely engulfed by the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning.

The black shadow on the young beast of the boundary gate lightened slightly.

It looked up at Jie Chen.

"thunder."

The dust of the calamity blinked in the blink of an eye.

The young beast from the boundary gate said earnestly:

"Is it tasty?"

Jie Chen thought for a moment and nodded.

Qin Wuji: "..."

"These two will start chatting sooner or later."

Bone gate anchor chain.

The anchor chain is covered with dense, white bone patterns.

As Shen Ye approached, the shadow of the remnant sacrifice from the Bone Forbidden Zone appeared.

Not the Bone Priest.

Instead, it is a small bone-revealing platform.

Shen Ye's figure was reflected in the mirror.

The lingering shadow of the Night King within the gate seemed to yearn to become a sage.

Lu Chenzhou's voice turned deep.

"We mustn't let it shine."

Shen Ye raised his hand.

The Night King's Seal was smashed directly at them.

The black gold royal aura suppressed the illusory image of the Bone-Illuminating Platform.

The shadow of the nine-year-old candle, a symbol of burial, locks the reflection in the mirror.

The Heavenly Punishment Gate Lock was nailed to the Bone Gate Anchor Chain.

But the bone gate anchor chain is harder than the thunder gate.

Suddenly, the lotus flower blooming from white bones glowed faintly from Shen Ye's arms.

Lu Chenzhou said:

"Use it."

Shen Ye took out the White Bone Lotus.

The pure white lotus light fell on the bone gate anchor chain.

The white bone pattern on the bone anchor chain showed a momentary lag.

Shen Ye did not miss it.

He slashed down with his sword.

Click!

The second anchor chain broke.

The illusory image of the Bone-Illuminating Platform shattered.

The upside-down door shadow began to shake violently.

For a fleeting moment, the echoes of modern city resurfaced above the old Jiangcheng.

High-rise buildings.

Traffic flow.

light.

Then it shattered rapidly.

The young beast from the boundary gate took a step forward.

It got closer to its remaining shell.

Only one item remains.

Blood Gate Anchor Chain.

This anchor chain is the thickest.

One end was nailed with a piece of shell.

The other end seemed to be directly connected to the ancestral blood mark on Shen Ye's wrist.

Shen Ye lowered his head.

The ancestral blood seal, which was suppressed by the Night King's seal, had begun to heat up.

Xue Li's expression was solemn.

"This last one is the most troublesome."

"It's bound to you."

"Cutting the chain is like cutting off a portion of your blood."

Shen Ye said:

"cut."

Xue Li frowned.

"Can't you hesitate for a moment sometimes?"

Shen Ye glanced at her.

"Does hesitation prevent it from continuing?"

Xue Li had nothing to say.

Lu Qingshan said in a low voice:

"I'll help you suppress the bleeding."

Wei Cang's remote projection also descended outside the blockade formation.

"I'm pressing down on the external space."

Zhou Xuan immediately set up the formation.

"I'm blocking the backlash."

Lu Chenzhou gripped his sword.

"If the echo of the Blood Gate manifests, I will strike with my sword."

Everyone took their places.

Shen Ye raised his wrist.

The Night King's Seal appeared.

The jade pattern of the King of Zhen Kingdom lit up.

The ancestral blood seal was pressed deep into the skin, yet it still throbbed wildly.

As if sensing danger, the blood-red anchor chain suddenly tightened.

From within the upside-down shadow of the door, that familiar voice rang out once more.

"The Night King"

"Slay it."

"You really can't turn back now."

Shen Ye's gaze remained unchanged.

"When did I turn around?"

On the blood-red anchor chain, the blood-red patterns on the door surged.

Countless echoing images flooded in.

The city of a past life.

Rental housing.

computer.

Mobile phone.

The street at night.

And the last moment before he traveled through time, the black light that cracked open outside the window.

In that instant, Shen Ye saw himself.

The old me, sitting in front of the computer.

exhausted.

ordinary.

There are no beasts to tame.

There is no system.

There was also no battlefield for all races.

Then, the black line outside the window cracked.

An eye peered in.

Shen Ye's pupils contracted slightly.

It turns out he didn't travel through time by chance.

The moment he crossed over, Tianyuan had already seen him.

A voice whispered from behind the door:

"I chose you."

Shen Ye gripped his sword tightly.

"No."

"I got here on my own."

The Night King's Seal pressed down.

The ancestral blood seal was forcibly forced to produce a thin line of blood.

The bloodline is connected to the blood gate anchor chain.

Shen Ye raised his sword.

Black sun and ghostly fire burn blood patterns.

The Nine Netherworlds cleanse the soul and protect the original soul.

The Fighting King's blood pressure and physical body.

The Heavenly Punishment Gate locks onto the anchor point.

The King of Beasts' contract shone brightly.

He slashed down with his sword.

The anchor chain at the blood gate vibrated violently.

Shen Ye's wrist exploded open, drawing blood.

Blood splattered out, but was firmly pressed back by the Night King's Seal.

Click.

The first crack.

The sound from behind the door turned cold.

"You will lose your way back."

Shen Ye unleashed his second sword strike.

"Then I'll drive it myself from now on."

Click!

The blood gate anchor chain broke.

The Ancestral Blood Seal suddenly dimmed considerably.

The inverted door shadow shook violently.

All three anchor chains broke.

The shattered, starlight-like remains of the beast egg finally broke free of its restraints and slowly fell.

The young beast from the boundary gate walked over.

It looked up and glanced at Shen Ye.

"I can come out now."

Shen Ye nodded.

"come out."

The young beast at the boundary gate opened its mouth and swallowed the remaining eggshell bit by bit.

Starlight merged into its body.

Silver-white patterns began to appear on its jet-black body.

Two translucent thin wings unfolded behind it.

The lines on my forehead changed from black to a mixture of black and silver.

A system notification sounded.

[The remains of the young beast from the Boundary Gate have been successfully recovered.]

[Status: Complete juvenile.]

[Fifth Contract Compatibility: 99%]

Should a contract be entered into?

Shen Ye looked at the young beast at the boundary gate.

"willing?"

The young beast of the boundary gate blinked its two eyes, one black and one silver.

"With you."

"There's a way to get food."

Jie Chen immediately looked up.

It was as if they had discovered a kindred spirit.

Shen Ye said:

"it is good."

He raised his hand.

The Covenant of Myriad Beasts lit up.

The fifth contract slot slowly opened in the system panel.

The black and gold contract pattern fell towards the young beast at the boundary gate.

The young beast at the boundary gate did not resist.

It raised its head on its own, letting the contract lines fall onto the lines on its forehead.

boom!

Above the old Jiangcheng, the inverted door shadow shattered instantly.

All the lingering images faded away layer by layer.

The system notification resounded throughout my mind.

The fifth contract was successful.

[Contracted Beast Taming: Gatekeeper Cub.]

[Naming in progress...]

Shen Ye looked at the little beast lying at his feet.

"Return to the Ruins".

[Name complete: Return to Ruins.]

[Attributes: Rift, Gate, Void.]

[Current Realm: Early Stage of Fifth Rank]

[Initial Abilities: Gate Escape, Gate Devouring, Echo Perception.]

[Host's fifth contract slot activated.]

[The Beast King's Contract has been upgraded for the third time.]

Gui Xu looked up at Shen Ye.

Then, with a light leap, she landed on Shen Ye's other shoulder.

Jie Chen stared at it.

Guixu also stared at the dust of calamity.

A moment later, Guixu opened his mouth:

"Door."

Jie Chen opened his mouth:

"thunder."

Qin Wuji looked completely blank.

"It's over."

"He now has one landmine on his shoulder and one door on his shoulder."

Shen Ye looked up at the sky over the old Jiangcheng that had returned to normal.

The system's final prompt appeared.

[The area of ​​reverberation between the two realms has been sealed.]

[The activity of the ancestral bloodline's main seal has decreased.]

[Tianyuan coordinate verification failed.]

[New Main Story Preview: The Heavenly Abyss's Backlash, the All-Out War of All Races.]

Deep within the old Jiangcheng.

Before all the echoes faded away, Shen Ye took one last look at his room from his past life.

The computer screen is on.

The night outside the window was quiet.

Then, the screen disappeared completely.

Shen Ye withdrew his gaze.

Gui Xu leaned on his shoulder and whispered:

"after."

"You can drive it yourself."

Shen Ye smiled.

"Um."

"I'll drive it myself from now on."
