Qin Yu Sees Through Master Soul Dominion's Flaw
The Master Soul Dominion its enormous and twisted body, slowly crouched down above the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains, as if the entire world had become its hunting ground.
The next instant, its gaze was no longer unfocused.
All the chaotic energy, the devouring cause and effect, and the unordered fluctuations of the origin simultaneously locked onto Wan He and Ling Liangyan.
That wasn't a simple "gaze," but a higher-level form of presence locking—
It was as if, at this moment, heaven and earth had tacitly agreed that their "existence priority" had been forcibly adjusted to the lowest level.
The air suddenly fell silent.
Above the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains, all light was swallowed up, space began to collapse inward, and an almost absolute stillness spread.
The Master Soul Dominion slowly opened its massive maw, woven from chaotic bone and logical cracks. Deep within its throat cavity was not flesh and blood, but a swirling, bottomless abyss of chaos.
Immediately following, its divine power descended—"The Final Slaughter of All Orders: The Chaotic Return to Tribulation"
In an instant, all the "shadows of order" in the world were forcibly awakened, and then shattered in the same moment.
Countless unseen skeletons of laws emerged from the void, like the spine of the world, which was snapped by an invisible giant hand.
The power of chaos transformed into a dark, desolate domain covering dozens of miles, which spread out in front of the Master Soul Dominion.
Within the slaughter domain, there is no before or after, no cause and effect, no boundary between life and death; there is only a killing will forcibly compressed to the Ultimate.
Wan He and Ling Liangyan simultaneously felt an almost instinctive chill.
That's not fear, but a harbinger that something is being "marked as a cleanable object."
The core of the Slaughter Domain suddenly contracted. An invisible yet absolute chaotic slash, traversing the distance, struck directly at their very essence.
At that very moment—"Not good!" Qin Yu and Liu Xu exclaimed almost simultaneously. "Elder Liu—!"
Their auras resonated instantly, and without any hesitation, they both took a step forward.
The Silent Origin within Qin Yu surged violently, and the realms unfolded layer by layer, with the three underlying structures of Void Source, Unborn, and Annihilation manifesting simultaneously;
Liu Xu roared, unleashing his chaotic power, burning his cultivation and Fate Soul stability, and suppressing all available resources to their Limit.
Two completely different, yet equally domineering, divine powers simultaneously confronted the chaotic calamity.
Above the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains, it seemed as if three world-class forces were colliding head-on.
There was no sound. The next instant, light and darkness exploded simultaneously.
The shock wave did not spread outwards, but rather collapsed inwards first.
Space was compressed into a nearly transparent membrane, then torn apart in an instant. Heaven and earth lost their center of gravity.
The chaotic energy surged like a runaway starry sea, completely engulfing the center of the battlefield.
The ground was directly ripped up, pulverized, and evaporated, and the deadly layer that had accumulated in the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains for tens of thousands of years vanished into nothingness in an instant.
Wan He and Ling Liangyan were directly hit by that wave.
Their protective powers were torn apart instantly, their figures were forcibly thrown away, their energy was disrupted, their souls were shaken, and even their breathing became intermittent.
Qin Yu was also thrown back several steps by the recoil, his internal Silent Origin vibrating wildly, and fine cracks appearing at the edge of his sea of consciousness;
Liu Xu groaned, blood spilling from his throat, his entire body pressed down by the backlash of chaos, forcing him to kneel in the void.
For the first time, the Master Soul Dominion also showed a clear imbalance.
Its massive body was torn open by several huge Chaos Rift at the center of the impact, the energy of the attack was disrupted, and it retreated, letting out a low and violent roar.
All four humans and one beast were injured by the aftershocks of the attack.
The sky Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains of the Dead shattered completely, and the remaining chaotic energy raged like a storm, putting the entire battlefield into a brief but deadly lull.
The aftershocks of the clash of supernatural powers were finally fully released.
A silent tremor spread out in layers above the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains, as if an invisible giant hand had swept across. Wherever it touched, space first collapsed into transparent folds, and then was directly flattened into nothingness.
The thousands of Logic Remnants Lords that had not yet fully stabilized their forms were crushed into the most basic chaotic fragments in that fluctuation before they could even let out a roar. It was not a collapse, not an annihilation, but even the process of being "killed" was erased, leaving only a large blank causal gap in the original place, as if a piece of the world's content had been forcibly dug out by someone.
Immediately afterwards, an even more violent and unstable aura suddenly erupted from the center of the battlefield.
Under the Master Soul Dominion, it enters a true berserk state.
Its massive, chaotic beastly body suddenly rose higher, its bones growing in reverse on its surface, transforming into twisted chaotic spines that pierced the void. Its form, which had previously barely maintained some semblance of "structure," completely disintegrated into an irregular, carnage-like shape—
The head split into several overlapping phantoms, each with a gaping maw that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart. The chest cavity burst open, revealing a chaotic core that was throbbing wildly, its surface covered with constantly reorganizing and collapsing patterns of laws.
The chaotic killing logic has completely spiraled out of control. There is no longer target selection, no longer priority judgment; existence is reduced to mere instinct.
Destroy, devour, then destroy again.
The primordial energy of heaven and earth was forcibly dragged into a chaotic state, its color fading and turning into a turbid gray-white fluid that swirled around it, like a storm of uncontrolled world debris. The rules of the Ancient Mausoleum of Shadowy Remains groaned under the pressure of its energy, and large areas collapsed directly into undefinable airspace.
"Here it comes..." Liu Xu gritted his teeth and growled, his aura suddenly surging once more.
He did not back down.
Instead, he forcibly tore open his own cultivation's stable layer, exposing a deeper layer of the Silent Origin structure. In an instant, his aura became extremely unstable, the power of chaos clashed violently with his own Fate Soul, and dark golden cracks appeared beneath his skin.
It seemed as if it could collapse at any moment, but in return, it exerted a brief but astonishing suppressive force—a thick and rough field of Silent Origin unfolded in front of him, like a forcibly constructed barrier that held back the out-of- Master Soul Dominion for a moment.
The price was that his life force was visibly fading away.
Qin Yu took a step forward, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword already firmly in his hand. The sword did not have a dazzling light, but it made the surrounding space automatically retreat, as if even chaos was subconsciously avoiding that "only verifiable" boundary. His gaze was calm, but sharper than ever before.
On the other side, Ling Liangyan had already placed [Wuyan·Guiji] horizontally in front of her. The invisible zither floated in the void, and transparent ripples spread out in layers. The seven strings formed from the light of the Beginningless past slowly tightened. Every imperceptible vibration caused the surrounding causal lines to lose focus and break. Her expression was more solemn than ever before, yet as steady as a rock.
Wan He then fully unleashed the original sword intent of the Void Returning-to-Ruin Divine Sword. There was no specific sword shape, only a profound and terrifying Emptiness spread out around her. All the chaotic fluids that tried to approach would silently disappear in that Emptiness, as if they were sent back to the origin of "not yet existing".
Qin Yu spoke in a low voice, not loud, but clearly heard by the three of them. "Hold on."
His gaze locked onto the now out-of-control beast. "Next, that beast will definitely not hold back any further moves."
Before the words were even finished, the aura Master Soul Dominion suddenly changed. Its chaotic core, covered in cracks, suddenly accelerated its pulsation, and in the next instant, two divine powers were unleashed simultaneously.
The Chaos Evolution Art
The Chaos Origin surged, giving rise to countless Formless phantoms. These phantoms had no fixed form, sometimes transforming into layers of shields, sometimes stretching into sharp, twisted blades, and sometimes disintegrating into a dense network of fictitious chains that entangled the battlefield. These phantoms themselves did not cause direct harm.
However, at the moment of appearance, it caused the surrounding heaven and earth energy to become completely chaotic - all energy lost its attributes, direction, and order, leaving only the most primitive chaos and conflict. The shadow continued to generate and dissipate, and at the moment of dissipation, the chaotic energy was thrown back into the air, forming a realm of death that could disrupt any judgment and perception.
Almost simultaneously, another, colder, and more deadly wave quietly seeped out.
Chaos Spirit-Shattering Devour
The invisible, chaotic teeth did not appear in the outside world, but bypassed the defenses and sneaked into the four people's sea of consciousness. It was not a direct impact of power, but a chilling invasion—as if something was slowly opening its mouth deep in their consciousness and beginning to gnaw.
The edges of memory begin to blur, tiny cracks are torn open in the sense of self, and the boundary between lucidity and confusion is gradually smoothed out.
That was a slaughter born specifically for the soul. The raging roar of the Master Soul Dominion echoed in the chaos, the killing intent no longer directed at any particular enemy.
Rather, it encompasses all existence itself. The moment the Chaos Spirit-Shattering Devour truly descended, there was no outward display of power.
There was no light, no vibration, not even a ripple in space.
That was an invasion that occurred directly at the "level of consciousness".
Qin Yu sensed something was wrong immediately. It wasn't pain, but an extremely dangerous "awakening"—his sea of consciousness wasn't being torn apart, but rather forcibly pulled into an overly stable state. The boundaries of his memories were being smoothed out little by little, and his self-awareness felt like it was being slowly gnawed away by something invisible. It wasn't intense or abrupt, but it made it impossible for him to perceive that he was "losing" something.
The Chaos Spirit-Shattering Devour, Master Soul Dominion, aims to chew up a complete "me" bit by bit in this state, until only an empty shell remains.
Liu Xu was the first to react forcefully.
The structure of his inner Silent Origin, already on the verge of collapse from the previous resistance, was now being detonated in reverse. Instead of resisting the erosion of his soul, he directly unleashed a forbidden-level divine ability from the Chaos First Palace—
"Silent Origin: Reconstructing the Soul-Sealing Domain".
That wasn't defense, but a self-destructive form of suppression. He forcibly flipped outward the "core causality" of his own Silent Origin structure, locking his Sea of Consciousness, Fate Soul, and Cultivation on the same level using reverse logic, forming a near-self-destructive closed domain. The invisible sharp teeth of the Chaos Spirit-Shattering Devour were dragged into that reverse-structured Soul Sealing Domain the moment they touched his Sea of Consciousness, and were mutually obliterated along with his own Silent Origin.
The consequences were immediately apparent.
Liu Xu groaned, blood gushing from his mouth and nose. The source structure within his body emitted a clear cracking sound, and his aura suddenly plummeted. It was as if a portion of his existence had been forcibly shaved away, but the Shattering Spirit Devourer targeting him was forcefully suppressed within his body.
Ling Liangyan's response was completely different.
The instant the Chaos Spirit-Shattering Devour invaded her sea of consciousness, the seven strings of [Boundless Return to Silence] vibrated simultaneously, yet made no sound. It was not a melody, but rather the resonance of "existential relationships".
She unleashed the primordial divine power of the Wuji Dao Artifact—"Boundless Evolution: Zeroing Out of Consciousness Domain"
This supernatural power does not confront chaos, but instead actively reduces the "devourability" of its own sea of consciousness to zero. Memories no longer exist linearly, the Dao heart no longer serves as a stable anchor, and the self is broken down into countless disordered fragments of existence, all residing in the Void Evolution ripples constructed by the strings of the zither.
The Chaos Spirit-Shattering Devour gnawed at her sea of consciousness relentlessly, yet it could not find a complete "divine soul core."
It can tear apart pieces, but it cannot devour the whole thing. However, the price is equally heavy.
Ling Liangyan's face turned pale instantly, and an extremely subtle dark crack appeared on one of the seven strings. Her aura became chaotic and hollow, clearly indicating that she had expended a great deal of her essence.
Wan He's method of resistance was the most ruthless. She neither built defenses nor dismantled the erosion.
The moment the Chaos Spirit-Shattering Devour touched the boundary of her consciousness, she immediately unleashed her most core divine power—
"The Void Ruins of Return: The State of No Self" represents an extreme form of self-withdrawal.
She did not retain a complete "self-awareness," but instead Soul Master into the boundary state of the Void Ruins of Return, making the concept of "I" temporarily invalid. After the Chaos Spirit-Shattering Devour entered her sea of consciousness, it could only gnaw at a nearly blank void echo. All the sharp teeth slipped and shattered in the void, and were swallowed up little by little by the power of the Return to the Ruins.
However, this situation is extremely dangerous.
Wan He's figure swayed slightly, and the light in her eyes briefly went out of focus. In that instant, she placed herself "between existence and Does Not Exist." If she deviated even slightly, she would truly Return to the Ruins.
Qin Yu was the last to successfully defend against the attack.
The moment the Chaos Spirit-Shattering Devour entered his sea of consciousness, he encountered a completely different scene.
There was no blockade, no splitting up, and no evacuation.
Deep within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, a long-dormant Existence Zero Point, slowly began to light up.
He did not unleash the full form of "The Void Source: Dream Stillness," but instead invoked its core logic in reverse—"Unborn Anchoring."
Using himself as an anchor, Qin Yu temporarily placed the "yourself before it happened" at the core of his sea of consciousness. Chaos Spirit-Shattering Devour gnawed at was not existing memories, nor current consciousness, but a possibility of existence that had not yet been defined.
The sharp teeth fell, but found nothing to chew. Because it was "Unborn," it could not be devoured.
But the cost is equally enormous.
Qin Yu's Fate Soul trembled violently, as if his chest had been struck by an invisible hammer. His blood and qi surged backward, and his presence became noticeably blurred for a moment, as if a small part of his future had been "erased from the world ahead of time."
The Chaos Spirit-Shattering Devour was finally stopped by the combined efforts of the four. The battlefield fell into a brief moment of deathly silence.
At that very moment, Qin Yu raised his head.
His gaze was fixed intently on the chaotic core under the Master Soul Dominion.
Then he saw it. Not a flaw in terms of strength, but a fatal gap in terms of logic.
All the supernatural powers, devouring, copying, and spirit shattering under the Master Soul Dominion revolve around one premise:
It must continuously maintain a self-consistent cycle of "chaotic unity".
Just a moment ago, in order to simultaneously activate both the "Chaos Evolution Art" and the "Chaos Spirit-Shattering Devour," its core briefly experienced a brief period of...
"Chaos Divide". The logic of devouring and the logic of killing did not completely overlap at that moment.
Chaos is no longer a unified entity; instead, a "gap" has emerged that cannot be devoured or copied.
At that moment, Qin Yu's heart sank, but he quickly became extremely calm.
He spoke in a low, almost inaudible voice, yet it startled both Ling Liangyan and Liu Xu. "I've seen its Fate Soul logic heart; that's its fatal weakness."
