The sandstorm that swept through the 489th floor suddenly stopped. It wasn't suppressed, nor was it frozen—
Instead, the existence of all wind and sand was determined by the Reverse River Lamp ·Extinction as: temporarily invalid.
Qin Yu held the green lamp and slowly raised his head.
The ancient lamp, which had never been lit, now quietly shone in his hand.
The light was not flame, but rather a reflection of countless "deathly futures" of Qin Yu flowing back in reverse.
These filaments of light flow like a river reversed, rushing from the future back to the past.
Each one exploded inside his body:
The manner in which Qin Yu was killed by the God Emperor has been erased.
The manner of Qin Yu's death, where he was torn apart by the chain of cause and effect, has been erased.
The manner of Qin Yu's death, dragged down by the collapse of the narrative, has been erased.
Qin Yu's death, which resulted from self-destruction due to the proposition, was erased.
Qin Yu's death, caused by an unknown concept, was erased.
The green lamp trembled slightly. In an instant—
All means in the world that could kill Qin Yu have been exhausted.
The sandstorm began to subside again, but it didn't stir up any dust. Because at this moment, Qin Yu...
Even the slightest possibility of death—"being blinded by dust"—was considered.
They had all been removed from the chain of life and death. He looked down at his hands.
The palm lines were rewritten in the light, becoming deeper and more ancient, like carvings from the first Fate Abyss in the universe.
Extinguished Light stood to his side, his gaze trembling slightly. "... You won't die now, will you?"
Qin Yu calmly replied, "No, I can still die. But—"
He raised his hand, Reverse River Lamp —extinguished—was silently glowing in his palm. "No world, no enemy, can kill me..."
"But I chose to die." The next moment, a ring of transparent death ripples spread outwards.
The four hundred and eighty-nine layers were dyed a silent, invisible, and lifeless deathly gray.
At this moment, Qin Yu truly entered a state of "Death Method Zeroing, no possibility of death".
And the Reverse River Lamp - Annihilation completed a true "death reckoning" within his body.
It became one of Qin Yu's new trump cards. The winds, Deep Root Lower Layers, began to gather towards Qin Yu.
Like all deaths, it acknowledges: this person is no longer among the 'mortal beings'.
Deep Root Lower Layers, Level 185. Here there is no ground, nor sky.
Only countless fragments of forgotten memories float in the air.
Like a torn page that has been repeatedly deleted, erased, and rewritten by some universe.
Jin Hanyan stepped inside. Her white robes, though not fluttering in the wind, seemed to float in an invisible realm.
The small bronze box jingled softly at her ankle—a sound like the universe's death knell for "memory."
"You've finally arrived." The voice didn't come from the front.
Instead, it resounds simultaneously from every forgotten fragment.
The Domain of No Record - Second Source Extremity - [Silent Depth - The Forgotten Anonymous One]
It slowly solidified between the shredded pages. His appearance had no face.
There is only a constantly shifting, rewritten, blurred, and distorted "faceless face."
And when he walks, what appears beneath his feet is not a shadow, but—
The shadows of all the enemies Jin Hanyan had ever killed.
He spoke, "Jin Hanyan... the Stainless daughter... did you come here to forget something? Or... to be forgotten?"
Jin Hanyan did not respond, only slightly raising her index finger. -- [Return to Silence: The Nameless Finger]
A flash of white light, and all colors in the world became ineffective.
The entire 185th floor instantly returned to the chaotic state before the heavens were divided and Unborn.
The Forgotten Messenger was struck in the chest. Then, the next second...
The area that was clicked was now blank. It wasn't destroyed.
Instead, the "existence record" of that area was simply erased.
However, he did not fall.
Instead, his laughter echoed in a strange way, "What am I...? Why do you remember me?"
The next instant—ten thousand images of Jin Hanyan appeared behind her.
Each one repeats a certain memory from her childhood: cultivation, slaying enemies, the inner sect trial of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, staring at her master, and fighting a decisive battle with the enemy...
Then it all began—disintegration. Fall. Disappearance.
She was erased to the point that Jin Hanyan almost lost her memory.
The Messenger of Oblivion raised his hand: "If you continue fighting—"
You will not even have 'who you are' left.
Jin Hanyan coldly raised her eyes. "So what?" -- Boom!!!!!!
A corner of the bronze box [the Nameless Box] opened instantly.
The light of "absolute nothingness," a state of primordial chaos before judgment, poured forth.
All the forgotten fragments turned to white ash in the light.
The Messenger of Oblivion began to dissolve into "Unborn White."
But before he vanished, he produced a completely transparent bead.
He offered it to the spatial rift that had opened beneath Jin Hanyan's feet. "You... have passed... this item... is bestowed upon you..."
After the storm of oblivion on the 185th floor completely subsided,
The world seemed to have been painted a blank, unadorned scroll by an invisible brush.
Jin Hanyan stood in the center of the scroll. After the Messenger of Oblivion was Annihilation by her,
The void suddenly seemed to awaken from a deep slumber.
From the depths of the heart comes an ancient heartbeat—thump.
The scroll was torn open.
An ancient cauldron, hanging upside down, slowly descended from the depths of the crevice.
It didn't fall from the sky, but flowed back from the "unborn future" of all worlds.
The ancient cauldron was entirely black, its walls appearing as if they had been scorched and eroded by countless primordial flowers of chaos.
The edges are adorned with a pale white, misty pattern resembling the luster of a baby's clothing.
But the strangest thing is that it's upside down.
It was like the first coffin erected in the universe, and also like the last fetus.
When the ancient cauldron stopped in front of Jin Hanyan...
All the forgotten fragments began to swirl around it, peeling away and turning white.
Ultimately, it returned to the "darkness of non-birth".
Jin Hanyan quietly raised her hand. The moment her fingertips touched the body of the cauldron—
The world suddenly reversed. The entire 185th floor of spacetime was as if it had been forced into a mouthful of invisible black water.
Mountains and rivers distort, the sky folds, light and shadow flow backward.
Until everything returns to the pre-chaos, Unborn darkness.
This is the true form of the treasure: [Returning to the Body Cauldron - End]
An inverted ancient cauldron
Ability: Upon inputting a target, after seven breaths, refine it into a drop of "liquid that has never existed before".
And if this drop of liquid were to fall onto the battlefield—
Even traces of "a battle once took place here"
They will all be regressed to the darkness before chaos.
The world no longer records any events from this location.
Jin Hanyan's eyes deepened. "... This Deep Root Lower Layers is indeed not prepared for ordinary people."
She tucked the tripod into her sleeve. The Nameless Box beside her feet made a soft sound, as if responding to the arrival of its kind.
Then, she flicked her white robes and stepped into the deeper darkness.
Deep Root Lower Layers, Level 88. This is a vast, inverted plateau of star sand.
Each grain of stardust is like a piece of an abandoned world.
Elder Liu Xu arrived at this place with twelve elders and nearly a thousand disciples from the Chaos First Palace.
Suddenly, the air tore open into a silent rift. A woman in white emerged from the rift.
It was the protective shadow left behind by Jin Hanyan, the eldest disciple of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, guarding the reconstructed array domain of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall here.
Those who truly emerged were the Grand Elder of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall and core disciples such as Ling Liangyan.
The atmosphere became tense upon their meeting.
Elder Liu Xu said in a deep voice:
"Gentlemen, although our Chaos First Palace and the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall have no deep ties, today the Asura Immortal Hall, Deep Root Lower Layers, has launched a frenzied attack on our two temples."
The Grand Elder of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall's robes trembled, carrying with them a bluish-gray aura of Silent Void.
"Many of our people have also been killed. Chen Jieli deserved to die. If we don't join forces, each of our individual palaces will be hunted down and wiped out at the Deep Root Lower Layers."
Ling Liangyan spoke softly, looking at Liu Xu, as if looking through him into a deeper layer. "Qin Yu... he should have realized this as well."
Liu Xu took a deep breath. "The Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, the Chaos First Palace..."
He reached out and clenched his fist.
"Since we've all been targeted by the Asura Immortal Hall, then from this moment on—we might as well face this calamity together."
The Grand Elder of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall's gaze was as cold as an ancient well: "Since that's the case—"
Since the Asura Immortal Hall dared to unravel this Deep Root bloodbath, then let them also experience what it's like to be hunted.
The twelve elders from both sides simultaneously took their positions, and stardust floated in the air.
The Nameless chaotic energy of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall and the Star Soul Battle Array of the Chaos First Palace overlapped for the first time.
An unprecedented phenomenon appeared in the sky: the Chaos First Palace - Star Soul Hundred Refinements Formation
--and-- The Silent Nothingness Divine Hall · Nameless Annihilation Formation
They overlapped to form a new, unknown formation.
The two palaces joined forces, marking the first time a united front based on the "palace" unit had emerged at the Deep Root Lower Layers.
Ling Liangyan looked up at the chaotic vortex a hundred layers Deep Root.
He murmured softly, "Qin Yu, which floor are you on...?" Stardust whistled, and the array expanded.
On the eighty-eighth floor, outside the chaotic stardust storm, there is a "backlight crevice" invisible to the naked eye.
It was like a tear in the curtain of heaven and earth. In the tear, a man stood quietly.
His robes were torn, but there wasn't a drop of blood.
His eyes seemed Does Not Exist, yet they could see through the regular flow between all the layers.
He was Nameless Abyss Walker the Void Emanation Realm · Supreme Liu Yuan Practitioners treasures from the five elders of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall.
Hidden in his sleeve were two crucial treasures:
Bone of Halted Reading, the Lid of the Final Coffin.
Placing these treasures in any hall would incite a bloodbath among the elders.
At this moment, he was watching with great interest the combined array of the Chaos First Palace and the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall on the eighty-eighth floor—
That patch of stardust is being solidified by the two palaces into the core of the battle formation.
The man's lips curled slightly. "Heh... the Deep Root Lower Layers are finally starting to get into a real mess."
He slowly closed his eyes, piecing together the information using the Ultimate perception of the Void Emanation Realm:
The Fallen Dawn Divine Hall retreated. --The Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall also withdrew.
The Asura Immortal Hall launched a frenzied attack on the Chaos First Palace and the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall.
The two palaces instead joined forces. Meanwhile, Jin Hanyan of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall awakened her Stainless Secret Power at a deeper level.
The Liu Yuan Practitioners chuckled softly, as if he heard the sound of fine wine being unsealed.
"Not bad, not bad... Two of the five great temples went, and the remaining three are fighting tooth and nail."
His gaze fell upon the star sand array formed by the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall and the Chaos First Palace.
A ravenous greed gleamed in his eyes. "The more you want to live, the more I want to see you die."
He raised his hand and gently stroked the treasure hidden in his sleeve. "Especially you temple fellows..."
Fight... die as many times as you want... wait until you've killed enough--"
His laughter grew louder and more maniacal.
"A sound like an echo reverberating in the Emptiness universe within the crack." Hahahaha...
Then all the treasures, all the destinies, all the opportunities...
"I will take care of them all by myself!" He vanished back into the rift like a shadow, as if he had never existed.
The 489-story Ancient Plain of Final Death gradually disappeared into the distance.
The moment Qin Yu stepped onto the broken staircase leading to the lower level, the entire space suddenly felt as if it were being pressed down by an invisible giant hand—
The air suddenly felt heavy, as if it were about to explode. Qin Yu raised an eyebrow.
The next instant—thirty crimson Spiritual Sense lit up simultaneously.
Annihilation Dawn Realm - Supreme. A total of thirty people.
They were all wearing the blood-patterned battle robes of the Asura Immortal Hall.
Embroidered on his chest was a red moon with split fangs.
Their eyes were sinister, filled with a bloodthirsty instinct.
Standing at the very front of the group was a man whose aura was so chilling it was almost rotten.
Void Emanation Realm - Initial Arrival. Asura Immortal Hall - Butcher-Level Slaughterer.
He stared at the Chaos First Palace pattern on Qin Yu's chest.
His gaze instantly turned into a fossil of murderous intent.
"Ha—a mere scumbag from the Chaos First Palace."
His voice was like the sharp edge of a knife honed by grit.
With just one sentence, the bloodlust of the thirty Annihilation Dawn Realm disciples surged.
Qin Yu: "...????"
He had just left the Final Death Ancient God Battlefield and hadn't even caught his breath yet.
He was blocked in mid-air by a group of red-eyed lunatics.
The deacon abruptly raised his hand and waved. "Disciples of the Chaos First Palace, without exception—kill!!!"
The thirty Asura disciples roared in unison.
At that moment, the space at the intersection of the 488th and 489th floors
Like being ignited by raging flames, it transformed into a crimson wave that surged towards Qin Yu.
Qin Yu's eyelids twitched; he genuinely hadn't reacted. "... Wait a minute? I just walked out here. Wait, you want to Annihilation me without a second thought?"
Before he could finish speaking—their Asura Blood Flames erupted skyward,
Thirty crimson Dharma veins lit up simultaneously in the void, turning the entire 488-story dome into a purgatory.
Qin Yu felt a wave of killing intent rushing towards him.
He could almost crush an ordinary Annihilation Dawn Realm expert. But he merely raised his eyes slightly.
The ten True Evolution Dharma Wheel behind him quietly spun open.
The Silent Beginning: The Ring Master Soul Diagram slowly emerged like a dark, radiant divine ring.
The surrounding time, space, logic, causality—all were silenced.
The silence of Death Method Zeroing spreading out beneath his feet.
Qin Yu sighed, "Since you want to kill me, then I have no choice but to fight back."
Qin Yu releases "Unnamed Initial Silence" for the first time.
His fingertips gently came together, as if he were grasping a wisp of Does Not Exist light.
The world began to fade. Thirty Asura disciples rushed in front of Qin Yu.
Magical artifacts, high-level Asura, and Blood Soul Secret Arts were continuously unleashed.
But—all the attacks, the instant they approached Qin Yu
It's like suddenly forgetting what 'attack' even means.
The flames extinguished, the sword energy dissipated, and the Spiritual Sense lost its focus.
The thirty disciples looked horrified. "How... how... how did my technique disappear?"
Qin Yu took a step forward. The space beneath his feet was like a painting that had been erased.
He spoke softly, "I don't need your deaths."
All I need is—to make your existence cease to exist." Fingertips fell. —The nameless light dissipated.
Thirty Asura disciples of the Asura Annihilation Dawn Realm, Supreme.
Their silhouettes trembled slightly in the air.
The next instant was like thirty strokes of a draft being erased by a colorless eraser.
There was no explosion. No screams. Just silence... and emptiness.
Even "they used to stand here"
This fact cannot be sustained.
It was as if the universe had automatically painted over those thirty locations.
The remaining Void Emanation Realm deacon was completely dumbfounded.
He let out a hoarse roar, his voice filled with barely suppressed fear.
"You... you... you erased their existence?! You... what kind of monster are you?!"
Qin Yu looked at him, but there was no killing intent in his eyes.
There was only a faint, helpless indifference. "You were the ones who tried to kill me first."
I simply made the claim that 'they killed me' invalid.
The Void Emanation Realm deacon took three steps back. "A... a monster!!!"
Qin Yu raised his hand. The ten True Evolution Dharma Wheel lit up simultaneously.
An infinite halo of light spread out from behind him like the first light of dawn.
That was the true, Supreme power of the Annihilation Dawn Realm – the release of the power of Jiwu. "Your turn."
Qin Yu flicked his wrist—and a sound of narrative collapse echoed in the void.
The Asura Void Emanation Realm was instantly pierced through the chest by the Silent Light.
The entire person was peeled off from top to bottom into colorless fragments.
It disperses in the air as "ungenerated dust".
Even the screams of fear hadn't had time to linger.
The world fell silent again. Qin Yu dusted off his sleeves and looked at the now-cleaned battlefield:
"... Are all the people in the Asura Immortal Hall this unreasonable?"
Extinguished Light gently revealed himself, his black hair falling to his shoulders. "Perhaps, this is just the beginning."
"They've gone mad at the Deep Root Lower Layers." Qin Yu looked up.
The fissure below awaited him. "Then let me see just how crazy they really are." He turned and stepped into the next level.
