Qiu Wenlin's Obsessive Thoughts Disrupt the Battle

Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon's dragon eyes slowly narrowed, its gaze, piercing through the annals of destiny, like two reversed rivers of time, fixed firmly on Qin Yu, Wan He, Jin Hanyan. The reverse-locking inscriptions on its scales flickered, causing a subtle shift in the flow of time across the entire southern battlefield. It seemed that with a single thought, the fate of the three would be written directly onto the final page. Its deep, icy voice echoed through the heavens and earth, "Do you still intend to stop my territory?"

Qin Yu stood in front, his robes fluttering in the reversed temporal winds, his eyes calm to the point of indifference. A slight smirk played on his lips, his tone nonchalant yet undisguisedly contemptuous, "A mere worm dares to consider itself an Epochal Adjudicator?"

Wan He stood beside him, the aura of the Void Returning-to-Ruin Divine Sword silently flowing around her, its sword intent like the dark currents of the deep sea. She glanced sideways at Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon, a cold smile playing on her lips, "Small worm, but quite a temper."

The casual banter seemed to create a momentary crack even in the tense battlefield. Jin Hanyan, standing on the other side, had her solemn expression interrupted by their conversation. She couldn't help but smile softly, a smile like the moonlight suddenly appearing in the cold night, briefly softening this world filled with slaughter and destiny.

However, the next moment, Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon's rage erupted completely. Its wings suddenly unfurled, the blade-like edges slicing through the sky. The Reverse Lock Inscription lit up simultaneously, brutally compressing the future branch of the entire southern battlefield. Its voice was no longer low and deep, but carried a temporally shattering ferocity. "You truly know no bounds!"

Just as the roar's echoes began to reverberate, a calm yet sharp voice suddenly came from behind Qin Yu and the other two. It wasn't deliberately amplified, yet it pierced through the suppression of the dragon's destiny, clearly resonating in every inch of space.

"How dare a mere demon beast be so arrogant?"

The moment the voice appeared, Qin Yu, Wan He, Jin Hanyan were all startled, and the three of them turned around almost at the same time.

Behind the battlefield, the void seemed to have been silently parted, revealing a tall, slender figure standing amidst the interplay of light and shadow. It was a man dressed in a plain white robe, not a battle robe, yet possessing an air of untainted purity and aloofness. Faint embroidery on the lapels and cuffs resembled an ancient order smoothed by time.

His long hair cascaded down his back, its color somewhere between ink and frost, shimmering with a soft, cool glow in the backlight. A few strands of hair fluttered in the wind, yet they did not appear disheveled; instead, they accentuated a calm and unhurried tranquility. His features were exquisite, yet he was not weak; his brows were slightly lowered, and his eyes were deep and clear, as if they had reflected all the world's phenomena, yet he had let them go one by one.

What is most undeniable is the almost "blank" aura surrounding him—no overt pressure, no outward killing intent, yet it caused the reverse-locking inscription on the Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon scale armor to pause briefly, as if even the "written future" hesitated about this person's existence.

The clamor of the southern battlefield seemed to be silenced in an instant. For the first time, Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon's dragon eyes showed a genuine fluctuation, and Qin Yu's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at the man who had suddenly appeared. He had never seen this person in the Void Obliteration Domain before.

Jin Hanyan's brow twitched slightly, a hint of undisguised impatience flashing in her eyes. She didn't even glance at the man, instead leaning closer to Qin Yu and speaking quickly in a very low voice, "This man is named Qiu Wenlin, a true disciple of my Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, the nephew of the Grand Elder Li Cangming. He's extremely annoying and always bothers me."

She spoke in a cold tone, as if recounting an old story she was so tired of talking about that she didn't want to mention it anymore.

Following her words, Qin Yu looked up and saw the man standing in the afterglow of the battlefield, his white clothes spotless and his demeanor seemingly extraordinary, but there was a hint of arrogance and scrutiny between his brows. When his gaze fell on Jin Hanyan, it carried a sense of self-righteous possessiveness. This look made Qin Yu instinctively feel a little displeased.

Just then, Qiu Wenlin strode over and walked straight to Jin Hanyan's side, a smile he thought was gentle on his face, his tone overly familiar and intimate. "Hanyan Sister Hanyan, I've been looking for you. I didn't expect you to come here."

Jin Hanyan didn't even glance at him, her voice as cold as if it had just been drawn from an icy spring, "Qiu Wenlin, instead of helping the Temple Annihilation the Demon Spirits, what are you doing following me?"

Qiu Wenlin seemed to be used to her coldness, and instead smiled more warmly, feigning concern in his tone. "Oh dear, junior sister, I'm just worried about you. You know, I'm doing all this for your safety."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Hanyan rolled her eyes without any attempt to hide it, turned around, and looked past him back at the battlefield, as if Qiu Wenlin had been erased from her reality.

This scene caught Qiu Wenlin's eye, and his smile froze for a moment. Only then did he seem to notice Qin Yu's presence. His gaze suddenly turned cold, and he looked Qin Yu up and down with undisguised hostility. His tone was stiff and arrogant. "Who are you? What is your identity that allows you to get so close to Hanyan?"

Before he could finish speaking, he deliberately took a step forward, nudged Qin Yu aside with his shoulder, and the action was blatantly provocative.

Wan He's eyes instantly turned cold. The aura of the Void Returning-to-Ruin Divine Sword trembled slightly within her body, and the intent of Return to the Ruins was almost released outwards. She shifted her feet slightly, clearly preparing to make a move.

Qin Yu raised his hand to stop her, his gaze calm, not arguing with Qiu Wenlin at all, and simply said, "Forget it, let's deal with this demonic dragon first."

The words were spoken softly, but Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon heard them clearly.

Seeing that Qin Yu was ignoring him, Qiu Wenlin's face darkened completely. His already dwindling rationality was instantly swallowed by arrogance. He snorted coldly, took a step forward, and faced Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon directly. His voice suddenly rose, carrying a deliberately ostentatious air of power. "You, a mere demon beast, dare to be so insolent before me? I advise you to kneel down obediently now, or I'll tear out your dragon tendons and show you what true Annihilation is!"

The moment these words were spoken, the entire southern battlefield seemed to fall silent for a moment.

The massive dragon head of Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon slowly lowered, and the light in its dragon eyes, which had been reversing the course of fate, suddenly turned dangerous and ruthless. It didn't even look at Qin Yu and Wan He anymore; all its attention was focused on this arrogant human. A deep and ancient dragon roar rolled deep in its throat, carrying obvious killing intent and mockery.

The next instant, it moved.

The dragon's wings fluttered slightly, but without creating a visible gale. Simultaneously, the Time Reverse Lock Inscription on its scales lit up, and a strange, almost silent divine power was instantly released—

[Reversing the Flow of Time - The Dawn Abyss's Return]

There were no blazing beams of light, no deafening explosions, only a "severance" formed by pure time reversal extending Pre-Nonbeing of Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon. The severance was like an inverted river of time. Wherever it passed, space did not shatter, but it completely reversed the "sequence of actions".

Qiu Wenlin felt a blur before his eyes, and the next moment, the protective spell he hadn't even had time to fully condense was forcibly judged as "collapsed" before it even took shape. The logic within his body had just begun to operate, but the cause and effect had already been reversed to "Karmic Backlash".

Boom--

An invisible flow of time exploded within him, as if he had been struck by an invisible giant hand. His chest caved in, his energy instantly became chaotic, and he was sent flying backward, leaving a distorted trail of time-series afterimages before crashing heavily into the churning battlefield ruins in the distance. His protective light shattered inch by inch, and blood splattered in mid-air, leaving a series of chaotic trails.

This attack, while not resulting in immediate Annihilation, precisely showed him what a true gap in skill and ability meant.

Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon slowly raised his head, his dragon eyes as cold as the final page of history. His deep voice rang out again, filled with disdain and cruelty. "An ant dares to talk about pulling out my dragon tendons?"

The air seemed to freeze completely at that moment. Qin Yu, Wan He, Jin Hanyan stood rooted to the spot, the aura of a true decisive battle pressing down like the deathly stillness before a storm.

On the southern battlefield of the Shattered Luminary Wasteland Belt, the heavens and earth seemed to be violently crumpled by an invisible giant hand, with layers of space collapsing and then being forcibly straightened. Broken bands of light and demonic blood tumbled together in the air. The Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon hung high in the sky, its wings spread like two light blades piercing through eras. The reverse-written inscriptions on its scales lit up one by one, as if countless chains of time were wandering, biting, and tightening on its body.

Qiu Wenlin was knocked back by the dragon breath technique, his body tumbling dozens of feet in the air before he could barely steady himself. His moon-white Daoist robe was torn in several places, and his Stainless light vibrated violently. His face was ashen, but his gaze instantly crossed the battlefield and landed on Jin Hanyan not far away.

I lost face in front of her.

The moment the thought took shape, anger erupted like dry tinder being ignited.

Qiu Wenlin's chest heaved, his jaw clenched, and only one thought echoed repeatedly in his mind: How could he possibly show weakness in front of her?

The next instant, he no longer hesitated. The aura of the Stainless Realm · Supreme within him erupted completely, and a silvery-white, Stainless Stillness Light burst forth from his body, transforming into a tidal wave of light that almost cleansed the heavens and earth. He took a step forward, his hands forming a seal, his voice filled with suppressed anger and arrogance:

"You beast—kneel down!"

The Stainless Stillness Light suddenly condensed, and a pure and Ultimate light seal shot out from the sky. The seal seemed to contain the judgment will of "annihilation of form and Return to One essence," heading straight for the head of Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon. At that moment, many cultivators on the battlefield couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat—this attack did indeed have the power of the Stainless Realm · Supreme.

However, Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon simply lowered his dragon eyes coldly.

The reverse-written inscriptions on its scales all lit up at the same moment, as if an invisible hand were turning pages simultaneously. The world suddenly fell silent, as if the moment "about to happen" had been forcibly pulled away.

[Reverse Inscription of Epochal Trajectories] Activated silently.

Before Qiu Wenlin's supernatural power could truly touch the dragon's body, the time sequence around the light seal began to distort—the light was not blocked, but its direction was rewritten. The Stainless light seal suddenly paused in mid-air, and then seemed to be folded in reverse by an unseen force, and the "judgment result" contained in the seal was written into another line of ending in advance.

The light imprint suddenly reversed!

Boom--!

A blinding silver-white light exploded in front of Qiu Wenlin. The Stainless Stillness Light that originally belonged to him was now like a mirror that had been turned over, carrying the same or even more precise power, and slammed back onto him. The air was directly shaken into a vacuum, and the light waves spread outwards like a tsunami.

"Puff--!"

Qiu Wenlin groaned, his entire body blasted backward, the void behind him collapsing layer by layer, his Stainless light violently disordered, a clear dull pain came from his chest, and a metallic taste rose in his throat, almost causing him to lose control on the spot. At that moment, he finally realized—it wasn't that his supernatural power wasn't strong enough, but that the opponent's discipline level was not afraid of such a direct judgment.

After all, it was a calamity dragon that had also reached the Stainless Realm · Supreme and whose mission was to "rewrite the future."

Almost at the same moment the backlash exploded, Qin Yu shifted sideways, his figure seemingly folded into a spatial rift, blocking Jin Hanyan's path. His robes were billowed by the aftershocks, yet he Steady as a Mountain. His gaze swept over Qiu Wenlin's disheveled figure, his tone filled with undisguised disdain. "Tsk, what a pain, how could you be so impulsive?"

These words, though spoken softly, pierced Qiu Wenlin's pride like a needle.

He abruptly looked up, his face flushed, anger almost overwhelming his reason, and his voice rose. "What did you say? You Void Emanation Realm cultivator dare to question me? Are you courting death?"

Qin Yu didn't even bother to glance at him. He simply turned slightly to the side, still protecting Jin Hanyan behind him, his expression indifferent, as if the other party wasn't worth responding to at all.

On the contrary, Jin Hanyan finally reached her breaking point.

She stepped forward, her gaze icy cold, her voice low but exceptionally clear amidst the chaotic battlefield. "Are you insane? You know perfectly well that that demonic dragon is also at the Stainless Realm · Supreme, yet you act so recklessly, are you trying to kill us all?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over my head.

Qiu Wenlin's anger was abruptly suppressed. The ferocity on his face froze for a moment, then he seemed to realize his earlier loss of composure. He forced a stiff smile, and his tone suddenly became flippant, carrying a hint of barely concealed resentment:

"... Cough, Junior Sister, don't be angry, don't be angry, I was wrong, I was wrong."

A smile was on his face, but deep in his eyes, humiliation and resentment surged wildly. High above, the low roar of the Dawn Abyss Kṣaṇa Dragon rang out again, and the reversed inscription slowly rotated, as if mocking this farce of human pride and recklessness—but the real life-or-death blow was yet to come.
