Initial Realm Holy Land (End): Realm-Severing Silent Light
Above the Black-Hearted Lotus, the world was silent, and a faint shadow quietly emerged.
It was neither a soul nor a form, nor even possessed a complete aura—yet in an instant, it caused the entire Lotus Domain to cease all wind and the void to collapse.
A voice, like an echo from an ancient abyss, gently resounded:
"You've arrived too early."
Qin Ning was about to step onto the lotus platform when he suddenly stopped.
At that moment, he saw the face of the phantom: blurry, distant, yet exuding a sense of oppression that transcended all laws, eras, and paths.
He could sense that it was no ordinary being—it was a supreme soul body at the fifth level of the Order Creation Realm, and even seemed to be formed from some kind of will.
"Who are you?"
Qin Ning asked in a deep voice, and the Black Bone Long Spear slowly appeared in his palm.
The phantom merely glanced at him before extending a finger.
There was no divine light, no soul wave.
Just a light touch.
Boom--!
The lotus domain's sky shattered instantly, and the entire lotus pond realm collapsed in the blink of an eye, as if the Black-Hearted Lotus should never have existed in this world, wiped away by that single finger.
Qin Ning felt a sudden lightness in his body as he was enveloped by an invisible force and transported away from the lotus field.
The next moment, he landed in another area of Initial Realm Holy Land, while the place where the Black-Hearted Lotus was located was sealed in the void abyss as if it had never existed.
On the other end, where the Realm Evolution Soul Flower is located.
Lie Zhao and Xin You had already arrived at this place, but they made no move, for before them lay a being that terrified them—
A divine dragon, its entire body a deep purple-gold, its scales and bones like jade!
It was tens of thousands of feet tall, and with each blink of its eyes, a sea of lightning surged forth.
This dragon's aura does not belong to any sect, nor does it resemble one of the five known divine beasts in the Spirit Firmament Great Realm, yet it clearly possesses the terrifying strength of Severed Phenomena Realm Fifth Stage Perfection!
And behind it lies the very thing that drives the Realm Master All Realms mad—
Realm Evolution Soul Flower!
It was a strange creature from another world, born from the Heaven-Rending Soul Abyss and the extreme fluctuations of the World Realm Spirit.
The flower has nine petals, each a different spiritual color: predominantly purple-gold, interspersed with soul blue, dark silver, and crimson; its central core constantly flashes ancient soul inscriptions, like stars woven together, or like a net woven by the boundary.
The flower stamens hang high, with veins running through the flower like meridians, resembling dragons soaring and phoenixes dancing, or like the gathering of the dead.
With each opening and closing of the petals, a transcendent sound emerges, as if an era is reincarnating and the world is being reborn.
At that moment, Lie Zhao and Xin You stared intently ahead, but dared not move an inch.
They finally understood why their Realm Master had used the "Transcendence Divine Pill" as bait, claiming this was an "opportunity" and "glory."
This is hardly a stroke of luck; it's clearly sending them to their doom!
"They're insane... they've gone mad..."
Lie Zhao murmured softly, his teeth clenched until they bled.
Xin You's face was ashen, and he only said, "We can't go back."
--Just then, Qin Yu's figure descended from the sky!
The first thing he saw was the two people, and then—the dragon, and the soul flower.
He did not rush to approach, but stared at the purple-gold dragon for a long time.
The scenery here is like a place where the realm of immortals and gods merges with the netherworld.
The fields stretch out in a boundless sea of flowers, with golden, blue, black, and red spiritual plants blooming in a staggered pattern, their fragrance like a rosy cloud, their spiritual energy like a waterfall.
At the very center, a purple-gold dragon coils and lies hidden.
The sea of flowers, interwoven with gold, blue, black, and red, surged and floated like the source of rules, while at the very center of that endless light and shadow, a purple-gold dragon coiled and lay motionless, yet it seemed to suppress the Origin Abyss of the entire world.
It's too big.
That was not the "greatness of a divine dragon" in the usual sense, but rather something that seemed to transcend all cognition—the "form of a vast abyss".
Its body is hundreds of millions of feet long, and each scale reflects countless fragments of the universe, like a wall of the river of time.
And that soul flower— the Realm Evolution Soul Flower —quietly floated on the suspended light platform directly above its brow, entwined with countless strands of purple-gold radiance, shaped like a nine-petaled soul lotus, yet the "floating shadow of the boundary line" could be faintly seen pulsating in its heart.
Lie Zhao and Xin You had been watching intently from afar, not daring to make a single move. But at this moment, the purple-gold dragon slowly opened its eyes.
Those were eyes that stretched across the entire cosmos, devoid of pupils or emotions, possessing only an ancient, arrogant, and unspeakable "judgment instinct."
It slowly opened its mouth.
The sound boomed, like the falling of a monument to the myriad worlds and the tolling of a soul bell—
Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it.
These six words, though the vast dragon's might did not visibly spread, seemed to penetrate directly into everyone's consciousness as if they were laws.
"Puff--!"
Lie Zhao and Xin You felt as if their Soul Realm had collapsed. Their bodies were lifted into the air, their sea of consciousness snapped, blood spurted out, and they instantly lost consciousness before plummeting to the ground!
--Just listening to it talk makes me faint.
Qin Ning's expression hardened, the azure light between his brows trembled slightly, and his sea of consciousness hummed as if struck by a thousand thunderbolts, his body and mind on the verge of shattering!
But at the most critical moment, the Azure Ring light silently entered the sea of consciousness, and instantly—
All worlds are silent; body and mind return to their origin!
"This is... the might of a dragon at the peak of the Severed Phenomenon Fifth Stage?" Qin Yu's eyes were like swords, his gaze deep and cold. "Truly... terrifying."
The purple-gold dragon's gaze fell upon Qin Yu, the only one not yet stunned, its depths as unfathomable as the abyss, a hint of disbelief rising within it:
"You... at the Initial Origin Realm? You didn't die from my Soul Sound?"
Qin Ning slowly stepped forward, his black hair flying, his tall figure like a monument, his whole body surging with sharp energy, and the Spear of Black Bone already held horizontally in his hand.
"I deserve to die?" He smiled faintly, his eyes blazing. "Then—come and kill me."
The purple-gold dragon seemed enraged, its whiskers trembling and its soul scales billowing like a galaxy. "Arrogant! A mere remnant soul of a realm seed from who-knows-where dares to challenge me?"
Who I am is not important.
Qin Ning pointed his spear to the sky, his eyes gleaming, "The important thing is—today, I'm taking that flower away."
If you know what's good for you and turn away, I won't kill you.
"If you insist on stopping me—" He took a step forward, and the heavens and earth trembled violently!
"Then let's settle this with one battle."
Boom!!
The next instant, the purple-gold dragon moved!
It fell silent, and with a single strike, swept across the sky, causing the Nine Abyss Soul Sea to collapse instantly. A Primordial Chaos Realm Breaker directly approached Qin Yu!
Qin Ning parried with his spear, his mind reeling, and he staggered back three steps, blood trickling from the corner of his lips.
"Fine!" he hissed, "Then let's fight!"
At the heart of the sacred land, beside the boundary flower, a purple-gold divine dragon coils and lies, like an eternal lord, immovable as a monument!
Lie Zhao and Xin You had already fainted, only Qin Yu remained standing, his face cold and his black hair dancing wildly.
His eyes were like those of a purgatory, he held Spear of Black Bone, and his figure was as tall and straight as a mountain.
"Let me see if the Spear of Black Bone, before it has fully fused with the Thirteen Forms, can shake your ancient Realm God body."
Before the words were even finished, his mind was in turmoil!
"First Spear: Soul Pierces the Bone Sea!!"
A black spear swept across the sky, transforming into a long river of dead souls. Hundreds of billions of withered bones roared in the void, carrying a sharp edge that could tear the heavens and earth like a black tide, fiercely stabbing towards the chest and abdomen of the purple-gold dragon!
"Boom!!"
The burst of light stretched for hundreds of feet, and smoke and dust swept across the divine realm.
But when the smoke cleared, only a white mark was visible on that dragon scale!
It didn't crack, it didn't peel, and it didn't even tilt an inch.
"Second Spear: Nether Prison Rending Breath!!"
Qin Ning twisted his body, and the black spear crashed to the ground, transforming into a huge black prison that erupted from the earth's core. Cracks spread like a spider web across the void, and surging soul energy roared as it transformed into countless prison locks, attempting to imprison the dragon's body!
"Bang!!"
With a mere tremor of the purple-gold dragon, the Nether Prison shattered!
The third and fourth spears erupted almost seamlessly in succession:
" --Night Song of Departed Souls!"
"--Dead Bones Plunge into the Abyss!!"
The wind whipped like knives, and the soul fire scorched the sky. Qin Yu was never still for a moment. The black spear in his hand danced wildly like Xingyun, slashing, splitting, and piercing. Every move was soul-stirring!
However...
The purple-gold dragon remained motionless!
Ancient dragon patterns appeared on its body. With each strike, an ancient, mysterious light flashed beneath its scales, instantly annihilating all the laws of destruction.
The fifth spear – "World-Severing Bone Bridge!"
The spear fell into the void, and a bone bridge spanned the sacred land, rising from the precipice and piercing the dragon's throat. If it succeeded, it would shatter the dragon in one blow!
But just as the bridge was about to appear, the dragon spat out a wisp of purple flame, which completely burned the bone bridge. The aftershocks forced Qin Ning to take seven steps back, and blood gushed from his throat!
Qin Yu, enduring excruciating pain, unleashed a series of strikes from the sixth to the tenth spear:
"--The Nether Bone Grim Tower!"
"--Ghosts and Gods Silent Soul!"
" --Reverse Bone Thousand Nethers!"
" --Seal Spirits and Rend the Realm!"
"--The Pact of Black Bone!!"
The spear shot out like a deafening musical note, as swift as a shooting star or a flash of lightning!
Even with its unparalleled combat skills and ability to Realm Splitting and seal souls, the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon merely raised its head slowly, its eyes revealing a faint disdain, as if watching ants dance wildly!
Blood spilled from Qin Ning's mouth, his chest was already caved in, and his Black Bone Long Spear was covered in cracks, yet he still gripped it tightly!
"Eleventh Spear: Realm-Breaking Sacrificial Wheel!!"
This time, he destroyed a portion of his consciousness and divine sense, channeling the burning power into the tip of the spear.
The black spear, like a chariot of Annihilation, traced a deathly trajectory falling from the starry sky, and violently struck the dragon's body and heart!
"Hiss--!!"
A deafening roar, like a heavenly bell!
The dragon's body tilted back slightly by half an inch, and a few purple cracks appeared on its scales!
But in the blink of an eye, the cracks were repaired by the dragon's breath.
"Twelve Spears: Realm Nether Lifelessness!"
This spear strike merged his physical form with his spiritual consciousness!
The black spear pierced the heart, its intent of lifelessness fusing with the soul to strike the dragon's brow!
"Bang!!"
This attack finally made the dragon frown slightly.
But with just a blink of an eye, it shattered all those "lifeless souls and shadows."
Blood stains his battle robes, but his fighting spirit remains undiminished!
"The Thirteenth Spear - The Soul Path of No Return!!!"
This is a strike that even the Spear of Black Bone itself could hardly withstand—an Ultimate stab!
The spear pierced through, shattering his own soul and bones, and even the space around him began to collapse!
Qin Ning, like the embodiment of death, thrust his black spear directly at the brow of the purple-gold dragon.
Boom boom boom boom!!!
A hundred-mile-long burst of light erupted from the very center of the holy land!
The celestial energy surged, the void collapsed, and the sea of flowers was utterly destroyed!
But!
As the radiance faded, only the purple-gold dragon remained standing in place, with only a slight scorch mark on its forehead, which was quickly repaired by its dragon breath.
The dragon's gaze finally softened, and it looked down slightly at Qin Ning, saying:
"Your attack is slightly more interesting than those pieces of trash."
Before the words were even finished, the world fell silent, and in the next instant, the entire holy land trembled violently!
The purple-gold dragon slowly raised its head, its eyes transforming into the sun and moon, causing all things to retreat!
It opened its dragon mouth, and from the depths of its throat, a "boundary core" gleaming with both purple-gold and chaotic light slowly rose!
"--I am the Dragon Lord, who has endured countless calamities. Though you are but a mortal, you too can attain this Ultimate power."
Its voice seemed to transcend billions of years, carrying the torrent of laws from the entire Spirit Firmament Great Realm!
Suddenly, nine star gates opened in the void, and from each star gate emerged a phantom dragon, each formed from the divine soul of a dragon!
--Combat Skill: Boundary Dragon - Suppressing Silence and Annihilating the World!!
Nine dragons roar, shattering all laws!
The "boundary core" leaped up and landed on its forehead. Golden flames surged all over the dragon's body, and its body instantly grew to ten thousand feet!
It soared into the air, then swooped down with invincible power, its entire body transforming into a dragon universe, encompassing stars, laws, cause and effect, and destiny, as it slashed towards Qin Yu!
This strike!
The world lost its color, the heavens wept blood, the rules reversed, and spacetime collapsed!
No matter who it is!
Even gods!
Even an Immortal Emperor!
Even the rulers of all realms!
Under this single blow, they all deserve only annihilation!
Qin Ning looked up, his eyes stained with blood, and at that moment he seemed to have stopped breathing!
His consciousness trembled, his spirit nearly extinguished, yet his fighting spirit remained undiminished!
Just as the dragon's body fell—
Within her sea of consciousness, Azure Ring trembled slightly.
Everything was still, except for one ring that was spinning!
Qin Ning was panting heavily, his knees buckled, and he finally knelt down!
The Black Bone Long Spear cracked inch by inch, leaving only half of it still in his hand!
He lowered his head and stared at the shattered spear, his voice like thunder:
"Thirteen spears... in the end, still cannot break you."
Suddenly, a jolt ran through my brow!
Within the sea of consciousness, a ray of azure light gently flowed!
This time--
He no longer hesitated!
This is the final chapter!
But none could break the dragon's scales!
Not even a single scale was shaken!
"It's over." The purple-gold dragon roared, countless soul energies coalescing, its massive tail crashing down on Qin Yu like the universe falling from the heavens!
In an instant— Qin Ning's pupils suddenly narrowed!
"Ring Spear - Silent Severing Abyss!"
His sea of consciousness shattered, the void trembled, and a fusion combat technique erupted from Qin Yu's body!
That was the Ultimate devouring of the Black Bone Spear by the superposition of the Gray Ring's origins, resulting in the "Spear of Annihilation"!
The spear was completely Silent Void, as if it were forged from the ashes of the end of the universe. Once it was drawn, it was as if the entire world had been thrown into an endless abyss!
Boom--!
Silent Severing Abyss emerged, the Soul Domain collapsed, and the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon's body leaned back slightly for the first time!
But it wasn't broken!
Enraged, it retaliated, unleashing True Dragon Extreme Soul Wave, containing billions of years of soul energy, enough to annihilate a thousand domains!
"Die!" it growled.
Right now!
"Silent Origin - Boundless Ashes!!"
--This is the second move of "Silent Origin: Tribulationless Chapter"!
When the Boundless Ashes appeared, the entire Initial Realm Holy Land seemed to have been emptied of time!
All flowers withered, the soul grass spontaneously combusted, the sky turned gray, and even the light was taken away!
A colossal, azure-white seal, like the Ultimate chapter of the heavens, crashed down!
The soul of the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon finally trembled and collapsed!
"This... is impossible... who... are you?!"
Boom!!!
The dragon soul's body disintegrated, the purple-gold divine dragon crashed down, and the billions of feet of soul shadow slowly turned into dust. The Realm Evolution Soul Flower quietly fell into the void and drifted towards Qin Yu.
At the very center, the Realm Evolution Soul Flower trembled gently, as if responding to the call from Qin Yu's fingertips.
The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon has perished, and the heavens and earth are silent. The entire holy land seems to be in solemn silence because of this battle.
The bodies of Lie Zhao and Xin You, whose consciousnesses were shattered by the dragon's final blow, lay quietly in a corner of the flower field. The bloodstains, not yet cooled, still testified to their short but tragic fate.
Qin Ning sheathed the Pursuing the Nether Long Spear and walked towards the purple-gold divine object blooming amidst a sea of flowers.
--That was a flower beyond description.
The petals have nine layers, each radiating a different hue of divine light, from pale gold at the bottom to deep purple at the top, like a celestial palace descending from the other side. Golden threads encircle the flower's center, as if recording the cycle of heaven and earth and the rise and fall of all spirits.
Above it, there are patterns like the roar of dragons, laws like a dream, and whispers of souls. Anyone who glances at it will feel that it is not a "flower", but a microcosm of an entire universe.
Qin Ning took a deep breath, reached out, and placed her fingertips on the flower stem.
In an instant, the Realm Evolution Soul Flower burst into full bloom! The entire Initial Realm Holy Land resounded with its roar!
Rumble rumble rumble--!
The sky cracked and the earth collapsed.
The flower released an incredibly large spatial fluctuation, and streams of purple-gold divine patterns, like waterfalls and tides, enveloped Qin Yu's body from the flower's center!
"What?!"
Qin Ning's gaze sharpened, and before he could react, he was completely enveloped by the divine radiance transformed from the Realm Evolution Soul Flower, and suspended in the void.
He did not struggle.
Because at that moment, he heard a whisper from the "flower".
That was not language, but a low murmur of existence that transcended boundaries and penetrated directly into the depths of consciousness.
"You are the destined one; though you arrived early, you did not enter by mistake."
At almost the same time, the corpses of Lie Zhao and Xin You began to disintegrate inch by inch, turning into ashes and disappearing silently in the divine radiance of the Realm Evolution Soul Flower.
They were not chosen by the Realm Evolution Soul Flower.
Their fates are too fragile to bear the gaze of this flower.
Qin Yu was the only one who was recognized.
Within the sacred land, the sea of flowers suddenly burst into flames, and countless exotic flowers of gold, blue, black, and red withered and perished simultaneously, as if the entire world had fallen into the night of the end.
The void collapsed, and the four laws crumbled madly!
Flowers, let him go!
"Boom--!!!"
A purple-gold divine radiance soared into the sky, transforming into a divine seal passage leading directly to the other side of the void, completely engulfing Qin Yu's figure.
The sacred site... collapsed completely behind that pillar of light!
The entire world sank into nothingness, as if it had never existed.
Only a lingering echo remains, drifting between heaven and earth:
"A single flower blooms, marking the beginning of a new era; a thousand years of destiny unfold."
⸻
Thus, the Initial Realm Holy Land came to a complete end, and the Realm Evolution Soul Flower was obtained.
