Ruin World Cycle, Myriad Tribulations Return to Zero
The sky Shattered Luminary Wasteland Belt completely lost its color at this moment. The crimson-black battle clouds seemed to be repeatedly kneaded by an invisible hand, collapsing layer by layer and then suddenly expanding. A violent energy storm surged down along the fractured spatial textures, tearing at the earth below. Qin Yu stood on the broken ridge at the front line. Behind him, several cultivators at the Silent Mystery Realm stopped at the same time, their auras silently aligning, their battle intent resonating in silence. The area of calamity beasts that had been separated was like a cut-open abyss. Three giant shadows slowly raised their heads in the surging dark currents, their bone armor rubbing together and emitting a teeth-grinding low groan, as if the world was being repeatedly crushed and forcibly pieced back together within their bodies.
Qin Yu raised his hand, his knuckles slightly tightening, and a barely perceptible crease appeared in the void in his palm. The next instant, Wan He stepped out from that crease. She did not "appear," but rather caused existence itself to give way to her. The Void Returning-to-Ruin Divine Sword stood still in the center of the battlefield, its blade seemingly reflected by countless parallel realities simultaneously. Its cold light was not dazzling, yet it caused all causal lines around her to automatically retreat. Her gaze swept over the three calamity-causing demonic beasts, as if she were reading a flawed historical manuscript that should have been erased.
Three of the calamity beasts underwent reverse evolution almost simultaneously. Their bone armor cracked, their Fate Ring flipped outward, and the synergistic logic that had been severed by the "calamity splitting tactic" was forcibly rewritten. New dark red patterns lit up along their spines, and the battlefield changed accordingly. The one at the forefront, its crown ring spinning like a gear in the abyss, unleashed a powerful aura of the Chaos Realm · Supreme a low roar— the Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown. Its Fate Ring suddenly fell, transforming into circles of dark scales compressed to the Ultimate, spreading outwards.
"Fate Ring Balance Severance-- " The deep, beastly sound was not spoken, yet it caused the soul consciousness of all cultivators to freeze simultaneously. Wherever the scale swept, the logical channel between skills and soul rings was forcibly blocked. The originally smooth causal chain of combat skills was like a broken gear, emitting a piercing, empty-spinning sound. Beside Qin Yu, the soul power flow of a powerful cultivator in the Silent Mystery Realm was noticeably slowed, the light and flames dimmed abruptly, and the speed at which combat skills were condensed was forcibly reduced.
The second anomaly then descended. The beast Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown suddenly pressed down, and the shadows fell onto the battlefield like a materialized crown. "Epoch Crown Soul Suppression" unfolded silently. In that instant, it was as if an invisible hand had pressed down on the source of everyone's consciousness. The priority of the question was brutally stripped away, and the cultivators were forced into a passive response. The overall power of their soul skills was suppressed, and the world's "response speed" was noticeably slower.
Qin Yu did not retreat. He took a step forward, and the space beneath his feet rippled. Wan He raised her sword in response. The first sword light was not sharp, even gentle, but the moment it was unleashed, it caused a segment of the battlefield's "narrative" to lose its footing. The collaborative logic around the Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown, which had just been rewritten, experienced a barely perceptible misalignment, like a crucial page of history being torn away. The world began to repair itself, but it repaired itself in the wrong direction.
The other two calamity beasts seized the opportunity to pounce, their giant claws carrying the collapse of laws as they slammed towards the cultivators in the Silent Mystery Realm on the flanks. Qian Mu and Ling Feng acted simultaneously; one activated the Stillness of Silent Profundity Realm, compressing time into a line of cold silence to forcefully block the descending claws; the other unleashed a counter-pressure with his high-level domain, forcefully deflecting the beasts' charge. At the moment of energy collision, the exploding flames, like elongated fragments of a star, swept across the horizon, turning tens of thousands of demonic spirits to ashes in the aftershocks.
The Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown roared in fury, and the scale of the Breaking Balance accelerated once more, attempting to completely lock down Qin Yu's skill usage. In that instant, Wan He's sword trembled slightly, and a second layer of power seeped into reality, causing logic to crumble. Those suppression rules that should have been seamless developed absurd cracks, the scales devoured each other, and illogical ripples invaded in the opposite direction along the Fate Ring. For the first time, an incongruous tremor appeared in the Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown's low growl; its suppression remained, but it was no longer perfect.
Qin Yu seized this fleeting window of opportunity, unleashing his full power. Under his guidance, the attacks of the cultivators at the Silent Mystery Realm synchronized, and three destructive torrents of different attributes converged in the air, like an ending rewritten by an invisible brush, precisely striking the core Fate Ring of the three calamity-causing demonic beasts. Light and darkness tore through the sky in their collision, the explosions becoming deep and persistent roars. The battlefield seemed to be slowed down, every grain of dust refracting apocalyptic light and shadow in the tremors.
However, the calamity did not end there. The power of reverse evolution still surged within them, new propositions were being conceived, and the rules of the entire Shattered Luminary Wasteland Belt began to show signs of upgrading once again. Qin Yu stood at the center of the explosion, Wan He quietly hovered beside him, the sword tip not yet fallen.
After its Sever Proposition, the Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown finally went completely berserk. The crown ring hanging above its skull suddenly reversed, and the originally regular scales shattered one by one, turning into countless deep black fragments of propositions. The fragments did not fall, but instead embedded themselves into the heavens and earth. The "interpretability" of the battlefield was forcibly removed, and all causal lines simultaneously went out of focus. The Shattered Luminary Wasteland Belt seemed to be dragged into a calamity calculation that was negating itself. The deep rumble no longer came from space, but rang out from the depths of the cultivators' soul consciousness. Each echo announced that a higher level of calamity proposition was being generated—no longer suppression, blockade, or weakening, but to render the act of "confrontation" itself ineffective.
Just as this proposition was about to close, Wan He truly moved for the first time. She didn't swing her sword, nor did she even have a clear starting stance; she simply took half a step forward, and the blade of the Void Returning-to-Ruin Divine Sword slowly rotated beside her. That rotation wasn't physical movement, but rather the result of multiple superimposed realities. The next moment, an almost imperceptible dark glow shone from the depths of the sword, and the power of Return to the Ruins was drawn out to a deeper level, no longer simply erasing, but beginning to "reclaim." The high-level calamity propositions that were forming Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown suddenly froze, as if forcibly dragged into an unfinished final chapter. The propositions lost their follow-up, the suppressive logic was nailed to a half-finished state, and the violent pressure showed a significant decline for the first time.
The battlefield, however, did not calm down; instead, it became even more brutal. The remaining calamity beasts roared in the distance, clashing with cultivators from various temples, sects, and the Liu Yuan Practitioners. Torrents of energy surged repeatedly between the sky and the earth, spatial rifts opening and closing erratically, like wounds torn open and hastily stitched back together. Amidst this chaos, Qin Yu suddenly spoke, his voice low but clearly penetrating the roar of the battlefield, "Fellow Daoists, go and support the others, and Annihilation the remaining calamity beasts as quickly as possible. This Abyss Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown is for me and my companions."
The three experts at the Silent Mystery Realm exchanged glances for a moment. One of them nodded without hesitation, turned into a streak of light, and rushed to the flank. "Alright, be careful." The other hesitated, revealing a hint of disdain. His gaze lingered on Qin Yu for a moment before he whispered, "You're only at the Void Emanation Realm · Supreme. Facing the Chaos Realm · Supreme Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown... I'll stay and help you." He didn't say anything more after that, but he had already fully unleashed his aura, clearly not an empty promise.
Thus, the battle formation was reorganized in an instant. Qin Yu stood in the front, with Wan He hovering beside him, their sword light restrained yet causing the presence of the entire area to continuously decrease; the remaining expert of the Silent Mystery Realm · Supreme stood on the other side, his domain unfolding like a solid barrier of time; Qian Mu and Ling Feng of the Chaos First Palace stood one in front and one behind, the former suppressing the fluctuations with the stillness of the Silent Profundity Profound Realm, the latter locking the flanks of the Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown like a sharp blade. The auras of the five people silently meshed together, like a tightening net in the sky.
The Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown sensed a real threat. Its crown ring vibrated again, attempting to restart the "Fate Ring Balance Severance." But this time, the severance scale had barely appeared when a corner was swallowed by the power of the Return to the Ruins. The logical channel collapsed before it was completely sealed. It angrily stepped forward, its massive body pressing down. The remaining power of the Epoch Crown Soul Suppression transformed into a tangible shadow impact, rushing straight towards Qin Yu's sea of consciousness. In that instant, Qin Yu felt the world fall silent, his priority of the proposition being forcibly taken away. However, just as the suppression was about to be completed, Wan He's sword hummed softly, and the power of the Return to the Ruins unfolded in reverse, dragging the suppression directly into the "unfinished narrative." The soul-suppressing effect was suspended at the starting point, unable to truly fall.
Qian Mu seized this moment, and the stillness of the Silent Profundity spread out completely, compressing time into a nearly solidified sheet around the Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown; Ling Feng attacked at the same time, his domain's edge cutting in and forcibly stripping away its outer Fate Ring structure. The remaining Silent Mystery Realm · Supreme expert now had a solemn expression, no longer showing the slightest contempt. He fully activated his own laws, forming an interlocking suppression with Qin Yu's attack, sealing off all possible angles of counterattack for the Abyss Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown.
Amidst this overwhelming suppression, Qin Yu took a step forward, his aura completely merging with Wan He's. For the first time, the light of the Void Returning-to-Ruin Divine Sword Nothingness Divine Sword was no longer restrained. The power of the deep Return to the Ruins to Nothingness spread out like a silent tide, gradually engulfing the out-of-control calamity proposition of the Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown. Under the combined attack of multiple forces, the behemoth of the Chaos Realm · Supreme let out a deafening roar. The crown ring shattered, the proposition went out of order, and the enormous figure violently trembled amidst the interweaving of light and darkness, causing the rules of the entire Shattered Luminary Wasteland Belt to tremble as well.
At this moment, everyone understood that this was no longer a simple encirclement and slaughter, but a life-or-death struggle on the edge of the rules. The Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown had not yet fallen, but for the first time it was truly suppressed on the path to defeat, and Qin Yu and his companions were also standing at the Threshold point that would determine the fate of this calamity.
Just as Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown was suppressed and pinned to the core of the battlefield by multiple domains and Return to the Ruins, Wan He slowly rose into the air.
In that instant, the Void Returning-to-Ruin Divine Sword was no longer just hovering beside her, but seemed to "awaken".
The previously restrained dark radiance on the sword suddenly collapsed, then erupted in reverse—not an explosion of light, but a collapse of the very layers of existence. The world lost its color, and all sounds of battle above the Shattered Luminary Wasteland Belt were forcibly silenced at the same time. The wind stopped, the thunder roared, and the vibrations of the laws were all frozen, as if the entire world had been silenced by an invisible hand.
Wan He's voice wasn't loud, but at this moment it became the only narrative still allowed to exist.
She took a step forward, the tip of her sword slightly lowered, pointing at the still struggling Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown.
The next moment -- the Ruin World Cycle - the Ultimate
The Void Returning-to-Ruin Divine Sword suddenly transformed into a slowly rotating "Ruin Wheel".
It's not a single roulette wheel, but rather a collection of countless overlapping facets of reality: you can see shattered battlefields, futures that have already happened and those that haven't, erased failures, and possibilities that never existed, all rapidly recombining, collapsing, and recombining within the wheel like a kaleidoscope. With each rotation, a layer of the existing structure is forcibly stripped away.
The moment the Ruin Wheel appeared, the massive Chaos Realm · Supreme Body of the Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown suddenly froze.
Its roar disappeared. Not because it was suppressed, but because it couldn't be uttered.
Its proud proposition of calamity began to fail—the narrative chain was severed, the logical support collapsed layer by layer, and the Fate Ring Balance Severance was directly dragged into an "unfinished cycle." The Epoch Crown Soul Suppression didn't even have time to take effect before it was judged as a "meaningless variable."
The Ruin Wheel slowly moved forward.
The first layer of rotation erases the narrative.
All of Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown's "appearances" in history have been erased. Records of its existence began to be automatically repaired at the world level, but no reasonable version could be found to replace it.
The second layer of rotation shatters logic.
The causal framework that supported its Chaos Realm · Supreme was as if its main beam had been removed, all skill call paths were short-circuited, and the calamity no longer possessed "the rationality of calamity".
The third layer of rotation, the separation of self and boundary --
At that moment, the Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown finally revealed its true fear. Its "self" began to crumble, and its massive body became hollow, like a shell that was still moving but no longer inhabited.
Fourth layer rotation, zeroing determination.
The Line of Does Not Exist emanates from the core of the Ruin Wheel, piercing through heaven and earth.
There was no explosion, no loud noise.
Beneath this line, the figure of the Abyssal Wheel Beast Crown seemed to have never been allowed to exist—
It simply disappears. It's not death, not shattering, not being swallowed up.
Rather, it never happened.
At this moment, all the cultivators on the battlefield had a momentary illusion: they clearly remembered that there had been an extremely terrifying calamity beast here, but when they tried to recall its specific form, name, and aura, they found that their memories automatically broke when they touched the key points, leaving only a blank space that had been forcibly erased.
After completing its final rotation, the Ruin Wheel rapidly collapsed, transforming back into the Void Returning-to-Ruin Divine Sword, which quietly returned to Wan He's hand.
Her figure swayed slightly, and her breath weakened for a moment, but she quickly regained her balance.
Standing beside her, Qin Yu clearly felt the cost of that sword strike—it wasn't just a simple consumption, but the backlash after touching multiple foundations of reality. If Wan He herself wasn't the embodiment of the sword, any other being who used this move would be directly "multidimensionalized" before the cycle was complete, and would be forever lost.
Qian Mu, Ling Feng, and the previously dismissive expert at the Silent Mystery Realm · Supreme all fell silent.
They stared at the spot where the Chaos Realm · Supreme Calamity had vanished, speechless for a long time.
This is not a kill. This is the judgment of reality itself.
Wan He slowly sheathed her sword, looked up at the still-burning battlefield of the Shattered Luminary Wasteland Belt, her tone calm, yet carrying a hint of almost imperceptible weariness.
"Next one."
