Qin Yu didn't glance at the terrifying being that had emerged from the Causal Soul Logic Realm Abyss again. His voice was exceptionally clear amidst the shattered storm of rules in the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains, carrying an undeniable calmness and decisiveness. "Elder Ling, immediately have the other elders protect all the disciples. You, Elder Liu Xu, and I will face the enemy head-on. This Master Soul Dominion's rank is completely different; we cannot allow it to get close to any cultivator." Before he finished speaking, the aura of the Silent Origin within his body began to circulate on its own, and the Realm-Constructing Soul Ring resonated slightly deep within his sea of consciousness, as if it had foreseen the impending head-on confrontation.
Elder Liu Xu stepped forward almost instinctively, his chaotic blood surging violently. Without asking a single question, he turned and shouted to all the elders, "Everyone, immediately form a protective array to protect the disciples! No distractions, no attacks! If anyone lets this beast get even half a step closer to a disciple today, I, Liu Xu, will be the first to sever his Fate Soul!" At that moment, his voice struck the hearts of every cultivator in the Chaos First Palace like a war drum. The other elders responded in unison, and the Karma and Dao Domains instantly unfolded, protecting the more than two thousand disciples in layers behind them. All the chaotic energy was forcibly suppressed, leaving only the purest defensive will in operation.
Ling Liangyan said nothing more. She simply nodded slightly, and the power of chaos transformed into extremely fine dark golden patterns around her, as if ancient array patterns were directly imprinted on her existence. She stood to Qin Yu's left, her gaze cold and focused, having already cut off all avenues of retreat. Wan He quietly retreated half a step, her divine weapon hanging low, but without the slightest relaxation. She knew very well that she could not directly clash with that Master Soul Dominion in this battle, but if there was even the slightest imbalance, she would be the wedge to fill the fatal gap.
The moment the formation was completed, the world of the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains suddenly lost its concept of "completeness".
The Chaos Realm · Supreme Master Soul Dominion made no roar or declarative gesture. It simply stretched out its enormous tentacles, each wrapped with scars of rules, and gently touched the void at the tips. In the next instant, the rules of the entire Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains seemed to be snapped by an invisible giant hand. Gravity, direction, and the order of time collapsed simultaneously. The ground was no longer the ground, and the sky was no longer the sky. All existence was pulled into a state of "disorderly fall."
The first move by the Master Soul Dominion was not to attack a specific target, but rather to negate the battlefield itself.
Qin Yu felt the ground beneath him suddenly collapse. What lay beneath his feet was no longer space, but a swirling undercurrent of cause and effect, filled with the remnants of the devoured cultivators' narratives and fragments of their Fate Soul, attempting to invade him from the anchor point of his existence. Almost simultaneously, Ling Liangyan and Liu Xu also experienced impacts on different levels. The chaotic laws surrounding Ling Liangyan were forcibly stretched into a misaligned form, as if they would collide and destroy themselves at any moment. Meanwhile, Liu Xu's domain was crushed by an unnamed pressure, its walls emitting a low, rumbling sound as if on the verge of collapse.
The two deep red light sources suddenly lit up in the core area under the Master Soul Dominion. With a turn of the light, the remaining fragments of rules in the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains were forcibly gathered and transformed into a destructive wave that covered several miles. Wherever the wave passed, the space was directly flattened into thin, paper-like faults. The faults overlapped and tore apart, forming countless interlocking destructive interfaces.
The moment the wave hit him, Qin Yu took a half step forward, and his Realm-Constructing Soul Ring suddenly unfolded. He did not choose to confront it head-on, but instead used "Existence Anchoring" as the core to temporarily bind the existence of himself, Ling Liangyan, and Liu Xu to the same logical level. The moment the destruction interface brushed past him, the three of them were thrown away at the same time, but before they were torn apart, they were pulled back to the same timeline and barely managed to stabilize themselves.
Wan He groaned from behind, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. Her figure was swept by the chaotic flow of rules, and half of her sleeve vanished silently, yet she did not retreat even half a step, her gaze still firmly locked on every movement of the tentacles Master Soul Dominion.
The Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains had now been completely transformed into a chaotic battlefield. The Master Soul Dominion at the core of the collapse, its tentacles slowly drooping down, as if the bell of judgment was about to toll again. The moment Qin Yu, Ling Liangyan, and Liu Xu stood still again, they did not exchange any words, but at the same time they looked up, locked their auras, and prepared to face a true head-on confrontation.
Qin Yu and Ling Liangyan exchanged glances for a moment in the chaotic void. That moment was not a conversation, but rather a silent calibration of a pre-existing battle tacit understanding. The next instant, their auras changed simultaneously. Their originally independent fluctuations briefly overlapped under the guidance of Qin Yu's Realm-Constructing Soul Ring, yet they maintained a clear division of labor without any signs of conflict.
Qin Yu took the first step forward. The power of the Silent Origin deep within his sea of consciousness opened like a floodgate opening, and the Realm-Constructing Soul Ring slowly unfolded behind him. The ring patterns lit up in circles, but instead of exerting pressure, it stabilized the "benchmark of existence" where the four of them were located in an extremely restrained way. He did not choose to Annihilation them directly, but instead raised his hand and pressed it into the void, using a Boundary Structure divine power that was biased towards "anchoring". The power of the Silent Origin transformed into an invisible boundary network, like a transparent world skeleton, forcibly nailing the collapsed rules of the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains into an analyzable form, creating the most basic foothold for all subsequent attacks.
The instant the boundary was defined, Ling Liangyan made her move. The chaotic energy around her stopped spreading and suddenly contracted. Dark golden chaotic patterns lit up on her body and then quickly extinguished. The next instant, she pointed out with her finger. There was no dazzling light at her fingertip, but an extremely thin chaotic crack silently extended. It was not a slash, but a reverse disturbance against the Master Soul Dominion of "devouring the origin," forcibly splitting the "merging trend" of the chaotic flow around her into several incompatible sub-states, forcing the enormous origin cycle to stagnate briefly.
At this moment, Liu Xu let out a deep, angry roar. Without any fancy movements, he was like a chaotic mountain that had been awakened. The moment he spread his arms, the chaotic blood and energy that had accumulated in his body for many years suddenly erupted. He chose the most direct method of confrontation, releasing his domain directly. A chaotic barrier as thick as a substance was stacked in front of him, each layer carrying the pure will of "bearing", "resisting pressure" and "not retreating", specifically designed to counter the impending head-on impact.
Wan He made her move at the last moment. Her figure flickered in place, and in the next instant, she was no longer on any lockable causal line. She did not confront the enemy head-on, but quietly moved among the shadows of the Master Soul Dominion's tentacles. She lightly raised her Master Soul Dominion's body to the edge of the void, preventing it from returning to its original body immediately, thus creating more room for Qin Yu's anchoring and Ling Liangyan's dismantling.
The four people's supernatural powers completed their closed loops at the same time, and the originally chaotic storm of rules in the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains experienced a very brief window of stability at this moment.
However, the Master Soul Dominion's second attack also arrived at this moment.
Its core area suddenly collapsed, and the originally surging chaotic Sea of Qi was forcibly compressed into a rotating dormant node. A low and irresistible gravitational force spread out from that node, and the "Primordial Return to Stillness Attraction" was completely activated. It was not a simple attack, but a denial of "established existence". All the energy forms, rule anchors, and boundary structures that the four relied on showed signs of being "returned to an undefined order" at this moment.
Qin Yu was the first to feel the impact. The Existence Anchoring began to tremble violently, and the boundary lines dimmed one by one, as if they would be flattened into meaningless chaotic lines at any moment. Ling Liangyan's chaotic cracks began to collapse on their own under the pull of the Return to Stillness Attraction, and the split sub-states were forcibly pulled back into the Master Soul Dominion the body. Liu Xu's chaotic barrier emitted a deafening muffled sound, and layer by layer of boundary walls shattered silently, but he forcibly held it up with his physical will and it did not collapse immediately. Wan He's figure was forced to appear for the first time. Her deviation trajectory was captured by the Return to Stillness Attraction, her aura suddenly became chaotic, and blood spilled from the corner of her lips.
The four players' coordination nearly went out of balance at that moment.
Just as the Return to Stillness Attraction was about to completely engulf the anchoring core, Qin Yu's eyes suddenly turned cold. He did not choose to maintain the original structure, but instead activated the Realm-Constructing Soul Ring in reverse, turning the "anchoring" from stable to sacrificial. A part of the World Structure veins self-destructed in an instant, turning into a strong logical backlash, forcibly tearing a gap in the gravitational field of the Return to Stillness Attraction.
Ling Liangyan seized this opening, and the chaotic crack suddenly retracted, piercing back into the outer edge of the quiescent node, causing its devouring efficiency to plummet; Liu Xu roared and took another step forward, using the last layer of his domain that had not yet collapsed to hold back the frontal impact; Wan He, on the other hand, forcibly cut in the moment the gap formed, diverting the chaotic feedback energy emanating from the Master Soul Dominion, preventing it from flowing back completely.
The power of the Return to Stillness Attraction was abruptly halted at the Threshold point before it could erupt. The void of the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains emitted a low groan, as if the bones of the world were misaligned. The battlefield did not collapse, but it was already approaching its Limit.
The Master Soul Dominion its third move, without any warning.
Instead of continuing to suppress Qin Yu and the other three directly, the main soul core, which resembled a chaotic embryonic core, suddenly shifted, and all its tentacles extended backward simultaneously, aiming directly at the disciple protective array behind the four, which was supported by several elders.
At that moment, the space of the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains seemed to be distorted by an invisible giant hand. The will of the Master Soul Dominion was no longer to attack, but to "designate the destination". The power of chaos bypassed the front battlefield and directly manifested as a huge unordered collapse zone above the protective array. The rules in it were forcibly smoothed out into meaningless noise.
The protective array trembled instantly. Visible cracks appeared in the originally tight, star-like defensive array patterns. Dark red chaotic cracks spread along the array nodes. The disciples inside the array groaned simultaneously, their energy being forcibly pulled, as if they would be dragged into that chaotic abyss of uncertainty in the next instant.
"Hold on!"
The elders at the forefront of the protective formation roared simultaneously. They did not retreat even a step. Instead, as the rift widened, they each burned their own essence, forcibly binding their Fate Soul to the nodes of the formation. The power of chaos directly penetrated their physical bodies, causing their meridians to shatter inch by inch, yet they managed to nail the protective formation back to its original position.
Some people bled from all seven orifices, some were struggling to breathe, but no one let go. The formation was forcibly pulled back to the edge of stability amidst violent tremors, at the cost of their lives being slowly drained away.
At that very moment, Qin Yu finally moved.
He clearly realized that the Master Soul Dominion of this Chaos Realm · Supreme was no longer fighting against them, but was trying to force him to lose control by using the death of his disciple. Qin Yu did not hesitate any longer. He personally tore open the last seal deep in his sea of consciousness, and his own will was no longer used as a "guide", but was directly upgraded to an altar.
The void suddenly sank. "The Void Source: Dream Stillness" was fully unfolded.
It was neither light nor darkness, but a silence where "all concepts simultaneously failed." Three absolute domains unfolded layer by layer above the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains. The Void Source Domain stripped away all concrete existence, the Realm of the Unborn erased all unfinished possibilities, and the Domain of Annihilation denied the fact that "it had already happened." At the intersection of the three domains, an extremely tiny yet unseen Existence Zero Point, slowly took shape.
That zero point doesn't move, yet it creates the illusion that the whole world is collapsing inward. The lines of cause and effect break silently around it, the flow of time becomes fragmented, and even the concept of "being attacked" itself begins to lose its meaning.
Qin Yu spoke in a low voice, which was not loud, but it resonated in the depths of all existence.
"In my name, I declare the end. Return to the unending." The Existence Zero Point is ignited completely.
For the first time Master Soul Dominion the massive body, showed signs of being "erased." Under the influence of Zero Point, some of its tentacles rapidly lost their anchor to history and the future, becoming transparent as if they had never been defined. The chaotic Sea of Qi was torn apart, and the outline of the core main soul showed signs of disintegration.
However, just as the erasure was about to be completed, the core of the main soul, which Master Soul Dominion, suddenly trembled.
A force completely different from the previous attacks was triggered. It was not a resistance to erasure, but a denial of "the One". The divine power Master Soul Dominion did not try to preserve itself, but forcibly pulled its own state of existence back to the original stage of "undifferentiated chaos" - not the past, nor the present, but an intermediate state that has never been ordered.
Instead of colliding with the Existence Zero Point, it allows its own existence to slip into a region where the zero point cannot be determined.
The Void Source Domain cannot strip away an existence that has not yet been defined, the Realm of the Unborn cannot deny a state that Unborn, and the Domain of Annihilation cannot delete a subject that has never been confirmed to exist. The moment Zero Point touches the Master Soul Dominion, the logic of erasure is forced to stop, like a knife slashing at nothingness, unable to find anything to cut.
The chaotic Sea of Qi surged back, and the core of the Master Soul Dominion re-condensed. Although its size was reduced, it successfully countered the root-erasing ability of "Void Source: Dream Stillness".
Qin Yu's figure trembled slightly in the air, and his face turned noticeably pale for the first time. His triple domain did not collapse, but it was forced into a brief cooling state, Existence Zero Point dimmed.
The Master Soul Dominion hovered above the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains, its chaotic aura, undefined and surging like a tide, made no sound. It merely glanced coldly at Qin Yu.
