Profound Stillness Seals and Judges the Light
The colossal body of the Glazed Dao-Extinguishing Zheng finally crashed down from the heavens, like a calamity curtain polished into glazed glass covering the world. Its scales, infused with the power of Stainless, unfolded layer by layer, each one like a transparent divine crystal, flowing with a pure, almost blinding light. Its four limbs stood firmly on the void, purifying the space beneath its feet into a pristine white expanse. Even the chaotic origins of the Void Obliteration Domain were forcibly smoothed into a state "ready to be judged." It lowered its head, looking down at Qin Yu, its voice resounding like a million world-cleansing bells, "Human, I will show you what true Stainless is."
The moment the words fell, the Stainless Core within the Glazed Dao-Extinguishing Zheng's body suddenly lit up. An unbearably pure white beam of light erupted from its chest, then transformed into a boundless sea of light that spread in all directions. This was the "Stainless Illumination." Wherever the light passed, the corrupting factors on the earth's surface were peeled away layer by layer, the lingering echoes of calamity in the space were directly erased, and even the Extinction Trace left by the demon spirits that had died in battle were "purified" into a blank space that had never existed.
The air was devoid of any killing intent or ferocity, leaving only a "pure and righteous sense" that instinctively made one want to kneel down. The light was not merely shining, but scrutinizing and judging. Countless white runes faintly emerged within the radiance, like a quantification of the "obsession" itself. Qin Yu's figure was completely enveloped, and the light attempted to directly dismantle his fighting spirit and strip away the foundation of his will, forcing him to relinquish his right to exist in the "purification of righteousness." At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to be washed into a sacred scroll devoid of shadows, and even the flow of time appeared slow and solemn.
However, Qin Yu stood there, his robes fluttering in the sea of Stainless light, his eyes as cold as an unwritten primordial inscription. He could clearly sense the enormous chasm between their realms; the ultimate power of the Stainless Realm · Supreme was crushing him with an "innate correctness," yet he did not retreat a single step. He simply raised his right hand slowly, his fingertips not emitting dazzling divine light, but instead, all sound and color suddenly fell silent in that instant.
As if the world had been pressed into a silent film, Qin Yu spoke in a low voice, not loud, but like a final footnote at the level of Fate Soul, "Silent Profundity Unborn." It wasn't an explosion, but an absolute "stillness." No shield formed around him, nor did he unleash a domain. The Stainless Illumination surged forth, but strangely lost its ability to "continue being an event" just three feet in front of him. The light neither advanced nor retreated; it was neither blocked nor swallowed, but rather as if the entire world had forgotten what to do next.
The once dazzling runes in the sea of light faded one by one, turning into unrecognizable blank strokes. It was as if the possibility of "purification" had been encompassed into a higher level of Unborn before it actually happened. Time did not flow backward, and cause and effect did not reverse, but the very act of the Stainless Illumination wanting to "illuminate Qin Yu" was suddenly never allowed to enter reality. The light still existed in the field of vision, but it could no longer have any meaningful effect on Qin Yu, like a divine punishment video that was paused in the first frame.
The pupils of the Glazed Dao-Extinguishing Zheng suddenly contracted. For the first time, an undisguised shock appeared in those vertical pupils that symbolized purity and judgment. It clearly sensed that its Stainless Power had not been directly destroyed, nor had it been forcibly negated by a lower-level being. Instead, it had been preemptively contained, stilled, and smoothed out from the embryonic state of cause and effect in a way that completely disregarded the "logic of confrontation." It was a terrifying characteristic belonging to the Silent Mystery Realm.
It was a technique that, though not yet perfected, had already touched the edge of "encompassing all that Unborn." The Glazed Dao-Extinguishing Zheng slowly raised its head, and its body in its Calamity form began to emit a subtle yet piercing glazed crackling sound. Pure white light flowed violently through the gaps in its scales, and its rage was no longer concealed. The entire sky trembled, as if in the next instant, this Stainless Realm · Supreme, would truly break through its limitations and enter a stage of all-out, deadly battle.
The pupils of the Glazed Dao-Extinguishing Zheng contracted violently in that instant. For the first time, a genuine and uncontrollable shock appeared in its pure, almost sacred vertical pupils. It could not comprehend how a human who had just entered the Silent Mystery Realm · Initial Stage could stand unscathed after directly withstanding the Stainless Realm · Supreme "Stainless Illumination" of the Immaculate Realm. It was not a simple defense, but a misplaced evasion of the "rule of purification itself." This level of countermeasure should not have appeared in its perception. Anger and unease surged simultaneously deep within its Fate Soul.
It let out a long howl that tore through the void, and the five tails behind it, resembling crystal pillars, suddenly lit up. Simultaneously, the Stainless cores at the ends of the tails vibrated, and the "Five-Tail Phantom" unfolded. In an instant, the five main tails split into hundreds and thousands of shadowy tails, each possessing a complete offensive and defensive structure. Their speed was so great that they left trails of afterglow in the void. The shadows intertwined, forming a crystal-clear killing net that covered the heavens and earth, completely sealing off the space where Qin Yu was. Wherever the shadows passed, obsessions were directly extracted, transforming into fine, Stainless light dust that fed back into the Glazed Dao-Extinguishing Zheng's true form.
The entire battlefield instantly transformed into a high-dimensional mass slaughter and purification feast. At the very moment the tail shadow completed its blockade, an even heavier primal resonance erupted from the depths of the chest of the Glazed Dao-Extinguishing Zheng. It was a rule-level purification fluctuation that transcended any single divine power. The "impurity" in the world was marked, and the void itself began to collapse toward the "correct form." The pressure from the rule level was like an invisible millstone, crushing Qin Yu head-on. The Five-Tail Phantom was responsible for strangulation, and the rule purification was responsible for judgment. This was a true head-on annihilation combination at the Stainless Realm · Supreme.
Qin Yu stood at the center of the death net woven from shadows and rules, his robes fluttering in the raging energy flow. His eyes, however, remained unusually calm, showing no sign of panic from being surrounded. He knew very well that continuing to rely on Silent Profundity Unborn to withstand the attack would only prematurely expose all his trump cards. Facing this offensive centered on "mass killing + rule-based oppression," he slowly raised his right hand. The Silent Origin Stainless Sword hummed softly in his palm, its blade not bursting with dazzling light, but rather as if stripped of all historical traces.
In the direction the sword pointed, strange blank spaces began to appear in space. Qin Yu took a step forward, and the sword's momentum followed, silently unfolding the "Historyless Void Severance Sword." There was no grand explosion, nor a deafening roar that tore through the heavens and earth. The moment the sword light fell, the Five-Tail Phantom that had pounced on him seemed to have their origins simultaneously "erased." The speed of the phantoms abruptly stopped, and then they fell directly into the air from the level of existence. They were not shattered, but rather lost their historical anchors of "having once existed."
The connection between the shadows was completely disrupted, and large gaps appeared in the killing net that sealed the void. Then, Qin Yu pointed his left hand and drew a horizontal line across his chest. Order Adjudication mark formed by the logic of his Fate Soul unfolded in the void. He uttered a sentence with almost no emotional fluctuation. The [Fate Cause Sealing Mirror - Logic Abyss Core] in the Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence of the Six Severances Seal was activated. When the rule-level purification power of the Glazed Dao-Extinguishing Zheng was pushed in front of Qin Yu, it was forcibly "reflected" into a virtual logic mirror core. The rules no longer spread outward, but continued to superimpose and purify themselves within the mirror core, forming an out-of-control internal cycle. The order that was collapsing between heaven and earth suddenly stopped, as if the rules themselves were locked in a closed loop from which there was no escape.
At this moment, the battlefield seemed to be forcibly divided into two layers. The upper layer was the Stainless Calamity King, still roaring and unleashing its power; the lower layer was a vast expanse of airspace "erased of history" and "logic blocked," its shadows annihilated in swathes, the oppressive rules losing their direction. The pupils of the Glazed Dao-Extinguishing Zheng suddenly trembled. It clearly sensed that its second wave of attacks had not only failed to crush Qin Yu, but had instead been dismantled, diverted, and counter-locked by the opponent in an extremely calm and restrained manner. It was a battle judgment that completely contradicted the "difference in realms."
Its rage was fully ignited, and tiny, dazzling cracks began to appear on its glass-like scales. Stainless radiance surged wildly within the cracks. It slowly lowered its head, and its killing intent solidified into a tangible form. At this moment, it no longer regarded Qin Yu as "a human that could be purified at will," but as a true life-or-death adversary.
Qin Yu stood silently in the center of the battle zone that had been cleaved in two, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword hanging at his side. The lingering ripples of emptiness on its blade, like fragments of torn history, slowly fell into the void. He coldly gazed at the increasingly frenzied King of Calamity before him, his mind unusually clear. He knew very well that the two previous exchanges were merely the "outer layer probing" of the Stainless Realm · Supreme. True Stainless Divine Power was never about overwhelming destruction, but rather a direct clarification of the very source. Deep within his sea of consciousness, Azure Ring's aura was quiet and clear.
With just a thought, she would appear, standing shoulder to shoulder with him to completely turn the tide of battle. But as soon as this thought surfaced, he suppressed it. He knew that if he relied on her power now, his path would only become narrower. He had to continue on, he had to see Huayan again, and he had to personally bring Yan Yue back. He couldn't let his fighting spirit degenerate into dependence here. His eyes became completely calm in that instant, all distracting thoughts were suppressed into the deepest part of his Fate Soul, leaving only absolute focus on life and death in the present moment.
The Glazed Dao-Extinguishing Zheng had clearly lost its patience. Its Stainless radiance began to collapse inwards, its five tails slowly retracted, and the primal resonance beneath its glazed scales sounded like billions of shattered crystals rubbing together simultaneously. It suddenly raised its head, letting out a roar that almost tore apart the rules of existence, "Human—let's see how you withstand this attack!" As the roar subsided, its eyes, like glazed holy suns, suddenly shone brightly, and the world seemed to be forcibly pulled into an invisible pupil.
The "Glazed Wisdom Eye" fully unfolded. There were no beams of light, no impacts, only a "gaze" that covered the heavens and the earth. Wherever this gaze swept, the void seemed to be stripped of its concealment, and all the disguises, misalignments, and hidden structures were instantly revealed. Qin Yu's Fate Soul outline, supernatural circuits, and causal remnants were reflected layer by layer under this gaze. Wherever the gaze reached, the karmic obstacles around him were forcibly illuminated, turning into countless fragmented images that appeared beside him. The next instant, those images collapsed at the same time, and his consciousness was dragged into a strange state of "impermanence and disillusionment." Time seemed to be stretched and compressed, and every movement of his body was as if separated by countless layers of stagnant water curtains.
Just as he was about to be frozen in place, Qin Yu let out a low breath. He didn't try to obscure his wisdom eye, nor did he confront it head-on. Instead, he suddenly took a step forward. Fine logical cracks appeared in the void beneath his feet with this step. He activated [Cause and Effect Deconstruction] of the Three Forms of Fate Construction in an extremely restrained way. He didn't deconstruct the Glazed Wisdom Eye itself, but instead used the "karmic image" reflected on himself as a causal node, forcibly severing the briefly established causal chain of "being reflected - falling into stagnation." At the same time, he swung his right arm horizontally...
The Silent Origin Stainless Sword unleashed an almost transparent sword aura. The Causeless Disillusionment Sword slashed out along the outer edge of his own Fate Soul. This sword was not aimed at the Glazed Dao-Extinguishing Zheng, but at the "wise gaze" that was watching him. Wherever the sword aura passed, the causal connection between the gaze and being locked on was temporarily erased. A very low muffled tremor resounded in the world, as if the rules had been drastically paused.
However, the ultimate suppression of the Stainless Realm · Supreme's essence was not something that could be completely avoided. Although the gaze of the Wise Eye was torn open for a moment, a wisp of the purest and Ultimate Stainless light still pierced through the causal rift and landed heavily on Qin Yu's chest. At that moment, he felt as if his Fate Soul was being scraped from the inside by a cold glass blade. The Silent Profundity within his body violently vibrated, his blood surged, and a sweet taste suddenly rose in his throat. A mouthful of blood sprayed out uncontrollably, turning into a crimson mist in the void.
Qin Yu staggered half a step, but managed to steady himself. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes still sharp and calm. The wise eyes of the Glazed Dao-Extinguishing Zheng slowly dimmed. It looked at this human who was clearly injured but still stood up. For the first time, a trace of real fear arose deep within its calamity will.
