The Initial Realm Holy Land where the sky is filled with cascading rosy clouds, and the Primordial rainbow that has remained unchanged for thousands of years shines over the mountains and rivers. Everything looks like a fairyland, but in reality, dangers lurk everywhere.
This sacred land, designated as a "forbidden realm" by Spirit Firmament, has slumbered for countless epochs. While outwardly harmonious and peaceful, it conceals countless monstrous and bloodthirsty creatures, all the oldest and most terrifying "descendants of the remnant realm" in the Spirit Firmament Great Realm.
These beings are of varying strengths, spanning the True Soul Realm, the Obsession Realm, and even the Severed Phenomena Realm. If each of them were placed in the Divine Abyss Realm, it could annihilate a Heavenly Sect and suppress countless lives.
Therefore, for millions of years, although various sects have continuously sent cultivators to this place, not a single one has ever returned.
They were all forever swallowed up by this "perfect illusion".
However, these Realm Master still spared no expense in sending those who had just begun to cultivate, all for that one thing— the Realm Evolution Soul Flower.
Nine Cultivations Enter the Realm, the Beginning of the Boundary Evolution
Qin Yu stood before a blue spiritual river, watching the other nine people gradually disappear into different directions.
Ling Jingxi had warned: The rules here have collapsed and soul consciousness is in chaos. All cultivators who enter will be automatically scattered and teleported, unable to perceive each other.
He did not know their names.
But at this moment—one could vaguely "glimpse" it in the aftershocks of the faint contact of divine sense.
One was a young man in golden robes with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, named Lie Zhao, whose cultivation was at the peak of the fourth level of the Initial Yuan Realm; the other was a Qingyi with a pale face, carrying a heavy halberd on his back, named Xin You, who was also at the Initial Yuan Realm Fifth Stage.
The two were in the Nether Bone Mountains when they were suddenly attacked by a "Heaven-Extinguishing Nether Bone Beast".
This beast has reached the True Soul Realm First Stage, with blood and bones as strong as steel, three pupils gathering malevolent energy, and a roar that can shatter mountains.
Lie Zhao used the "Soul-Shaking Sword Canon" to shatter the void waves, while Xin You unleashed the "God-Splitting Halberd Diagram." The two combined their combat skills, unleashing a joint attack technique—"God Reversal: Soul-Severing Diagram"!
"Boom--"
The mountain collapsed, lightning and flames surged, and the Heaven-Extinguishing Nether Bone Beast was powerfully annihilated by the combined attack of the two. Its corpse turned into dust and scattered into the world.
"The Soul Flower is indeed extraordinary; even such a ferocious beast guards its perimeter."
Lie Zhao and Xin You exchanged glances as they caught their breath, their eyes remaining calm and composed. Clearly, they were not ordinary early-stage cultivators, but rather important figures of their sect, possessing extraordinary abilities.
Qin Yu walked silently through the spirit realm's shaded forest. The Azure Ring remained dormant within his body, guiding him only in one direction through his senses—the location of the Soul Flower.
The atmosphere here... is getting increasingly eerie.
Just as he was crossing the edge of a broken valley, a tremendous force suddenly struck.
It was a terrifying creature, three zhang tall, radiating a terrifying pressure from the Realm Consciousness Realm.
He was clad in tattered golden armor, his body as if forged from lava, and he held a Soul-Slaying Weapon that resembled neither a hammer nor bone.
He—named Qimo Duoli—is a [Holy Land Shadow Guardian] who has Realm Consciousness Fifth Stage Perfection!
Its appearance was like a golden sculpture of a god or Gods and Devils, with flowing hair like a dragon and eyes studded with lightning. It was the embodiment of the remaining will of an ancient Realm God from the Spirit Firmament Great Realm.
His entire body emanated a deathly flame.
"Extraterrestrial species... are not permitted to enter..."
He whispered something, and then—launched a sudden attack!
Falling God Realm Break
Qi Mo·Duo Li stepped into the air and instantly unleashed a towering shadow fist, crushing the surrounding space and its laws into dust. The world was in turmoil!
Qin Yu raised his spear horizontally in a backhand motion, and the "Spear of Black Bone" took shape in the wind, its tip reflecting the shadows of his soul rings.
"Boom boom boom!!"
Space collapsed, and the sky fell.
Qin Yu was blasted back a hundred feet, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Soul Realm Collapse Chain
Qi Mo spoke softly, and nine soul chains suddenly rose behind him, the chain heads being the teeth of broken bones, which suddenly slashed towards the void!
With each chain strike, the Realm Splitting three-tenths of its depth!
Qin Yu forcefully activated his sea of consciousness, flipped his right palm, and activated the "Silent Origin: Tribulationless Chapter". The spear body surged with the secret power of the deep patterns, transforming into three layers of shadow.
"Silent Origin - Wheel-Breaking Seal!!"
With a furious roar, a wheel of destruction descended from the sky, clashing head-on with the soul chain!
Heaven and earth shattered, and the light of the soul surged.
Heaven and earth sank, and the golden flames of Qimo·Duoli raged. The Fallen Realm Divine Hammer in his hand slowly condensed, and before the hammer was even struck, it distorted the light of the holy land.
His body, like an ancient demon supporting the sky, stood amidst the remnants of the sacrificial runes, looking down at Qin Yu, who had not yet fallen.
At that moment, his voice was deep and ancient, as if it had traveled across the heavens and the stars:
You shouldn't have set foot here...
"Who are you? You're Initial Origin Realm, how could you survive two of my attacks?"
"Your bloodline, your very essence, your very soul... none of them Spirit Firmament."
Qin Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, his expression extremely calm, without a trace of fear in his eyes, only a clear, dark, and cold gaze.
He did not answer, but simply held the Spear of Black Bone horizontally in front of him. The spearhead trembled slightly, causing three layers of the Void Realm to appear.
Then, he uttered a sentence calmly:
"Who I am is none of your business."
He stepped forward slowly, his voice like thunder shaking the entire world, piercing through the shattered void.
"But once you've struck, there's no turning back."
"Today, I stand on this sacred ground, and with your remnant soul, I offer sacrifice to my path to rebirth."
Even if you originate from the pinnacle of the realm of consciousness, you cannot escape a single strike.
Qi Mo·Duo Li's golden eyes narrowed, his anger flared up again, and his hammer blade swallowed the sun.
Fallen Realm Divine Hammer
This is Qimo Duoli's strongest move, gathering all the divine thoughts of the remnant world and his own soul bone, condensing them into a divine hammer strike.
"The Moment of Return to Nothingness!"
That strike cleaved the heavens and the earth, even light seemed to freeze instantly! The entire holy land was plunged into darkness.
Qin Yu's eyes sharpened, and he gripped the Spear of Black Bone tightly with both hands. As his sea of consciousness surged, he finally reached his Limit and awakened the second form of the Fusion Combat Technique!
Heaven and earth fell silent.
" --Ring Spear - Silent Severing Abyss!"
The Black Bone Long Spear trembled, and all the gray patterns on it suddenly glowed, completely merging with the thirteen ancient techniques that had been dormant deep within the spear shaft. A dark gray crack appeared at the spear tip, like a mouth leading to an abyss, fiercely devouring the surrounding void.
At this moment, the entire Initial Realm Holy Land suddenly froze, as if the lines of space had been forcibly severed, and a "Deep Realm Rift" shot out from where Qin Yu was located toward Qi Mo·Duo Li.
That is—the Edge of Realm Splitting!
Ring Spear - Silent Severing Abyss not only shatters the enemy's body but also severs the "root of the realm." It was originally created as the Ultimate assassination technique to kill beings above the Realm Master.
Qi Mo·Duo Li's divine eyes trembled violently, his soul seemed to shatter, and he raised the Fallen Realm Divine Hammer high in his hand.
Boom!!
The divine hammer fell, the sky trembled, and crimson lightning spread for thousands of miles, but it shattered the moment it touched that "mark of severance"!
Boom!!
Space collapsed, the sacred land cracked, as if countless billions of years of pent-up energy had erupted at this moment!
Duo Li roared, "You shouldn't have come here! You're a human being, how could you still stand after my full-force attack?!"
Qin Yu retracted his spear, his expression cold and stern, and smiled calmly:
"We were both born into this world, but I—am not within it."
He took a step forward, surrounded by nine layers of soul fire, and his sea of consciousness trembled violently!
"--Silent Origin · Boundless Ashes!"
At that moment, a bluish-gray flame rose from between his brows, not burning his body, but igniting the source of his soul.
This is the second move of "Silent Origin: Tribulationless Chapter." Its most terrifying aspect is not its destructive power, but its ability to "burn away all cause and effect in all realms, causing laws, bloodlines, soul sources, and truth to fall into silence."
As the flames swept across, all colors in the world faded away, leaving only a Boundless Realm illusory flame dancing in Qin Yu's palm before crashing down upon Qi Mo·Duo Li!
The Fallen Roar roared, and ten thousand soul bones flew out from its body, attempting to converge on its divine body to protect its soul.
However, the moment one touches that Boundless Realm flame, countless bones turn to ashes!
"You shouldn't have such a fiery temper..."
"Unfortunately, you never knew..."
--who I am.
Boundless Realm flames fell.
The Silent Severing Abyss traces then covered the body.
Qimo Duoli couldn't even utter a final roar; his entire soul, his origin, and his obsession were utterly Annihilation in an instant!
The world fell into a deathly silence.
The entire holy land, as if its lifeblood had been drained, instantly returned to its original stillness.
Only that one man, with a spear and a lingering flame, stood on the Ji Ran abyss, his figure like a monument against the backlight!
The sacred land's heavens trembled and cracked, the vast power of the heavens still echoing, the aftershocks sweeping across and stirring up a sea of clouds stretching for thousands of miles.
Lie Zhao and Xin You, who were in the distance, originally intended to force themselves to watch the battle, but when the [Ring Spear - Silent Severing Abyss] and [Silent Origin - Boundless Ashes] merged, an invisible vortex that seemed capable of Realm Splitting and devouring souls pierced through the entire dimension of the Holy Land!
"What... what level of combat skill is this?!"
Lie Zhao's pupils instantly exploded with a blood-red line, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, staggering back three steps. He was still at the Initial Yuan Realm Fifth Stage Perfection, yet he had the illusion that his Soul Sea had been annihilated on the spot.
Xin You fared even worse. He had just reached the Initial Yuan Realm Fifth Stage Perfection and his sea of consciousness was not yet stable. He felt as if he were being crushed by a thousand pounds of pressure. His knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground, vomiting blood uncontrollably. His soul seemed to fall into a deathly abyss in an instant, and he almost fainted.
"This is terrifying... Is this a combat technique that can be unleashed at the Initial Yuan Realm level? No—this isn't a combat technique, this is... a forbidden Ultimate technique at the World Level!"
Both of them showed deep fear in their eyes. Even though they were used to seeing earth-shattering battles, they were completely overwhelmed at this moment.
Deep within the sacred land, a colossal figure hidden behind the fossilized divine tree slowly opened its eyes.
It was a colossal dragon covered in scales, its entire body gleaming with a purple-gold hue.
With nine claws, four wings folded together, and a mane as thick as a mountain, its eyes no longer held bloodlust and rage, but rather a detached indifference and calmness that transcended all "boundaries."
--A Severed Phenomena Realm Fifth Stage Perfection, the Purple-Gold Emperor Abyss Dragon.
The moment it slowly opened its eyes, the world seemed to freeze.
But the next moment, it merely withdrew its gaze indifferently and uttered softly, "... This child is not yet mature."
Its head then drooped, and it continued to sleep, as if the earth-shattering blow had only aroused its slight interest.
On the battlefield, Qin Yu Pursuit of the Unseen the Zhu You spear in his hand, the Black Bone Long Spear plunging heavily into the earth's veins before turning into a phantom and being stored within the boundary seal.
Qimo·Duoli had long since perished, his body and soul destroyed. Even the Fallen Realm Divine Hammer had shattered in the "Embers of the Silent Origin," leaving only a drop of dark, tear-like remnant essence floating in the air.
Without uttering a word, Qin Yu flicked his sleeve, sealing the creature within the array, and then turned to leave.
He never looked back.
But wherever they went, they felt the trembling of Fallen Soul.
With each step he took, the "ten-ring phantom" faintly appeared, seemingly questioning the very laws of the Spirit Firmament Realm.
This moment.
In the entire holy land, it seemed as if he were the only one left—walking forward in silence.
When he reached the fifth realm of the core of the Holy Land, he suddenly stopped and stared ahead.
It was a mysterious ancient place that had been almost completely obliterated by time.
Unlike the myriad landscapes of other areas of the Holy Land, this space seemed to have long since transcended the "physics of the realm," with inverted mountains and seas, floating star faults, and countless "Reverse Order soul paths" wandering in the air like sacrificial texts.
There was no wind, no breath, and even the boundary energy seemed to have been squeezed into nothingness.
Qin Yu murmured softly, "... The Domain of Spatial Annihilation?"
Azure Ring trembled slightly at this moment, and a response that only he could hear came out:
This place... is the Silent Realm Ruins.
It was once a fragment of a soul domain left behind after a "transcendent" failed to break through to another dimension during the ancient era of the Spirit Firmament Realm.
Qin Yu took a deep breath and stared at the point of light at the core.
--It was a black lotus that embodied the brilliance of black gold and deep silver, floating above the spatial distortion, as if it were a divine object born from the "Origin of Nothingness".
Its name is: Ethereal Realm Black Heart Lotus.
This item can temporarily break through any cultivator's advancement barrier, instantly pushing the soul of enlightenment into the "Origin of the Realm Root".
If obtained, one can enter the first level of the "Realm Lord Realm" – the "Realm Soul Activation" state – within the Spirit Firmament Great Realm.
"It's not the Realm Evolution Soul Flower, but... it's no less impressive."
Qin Yu's eyes darkened as he stepped into the space-time fracture.
Unbeknownst to him, a faint, ethereal shadow appeared above the Black-Hearted Lotus.
