Above the dome of the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall, the nine Fate-Emanating Immortal Envoys simultaneously raised their hands, and the destiny runes on their glass armor lit up at the same instant, as if the nine rivers of destiny had been forcibly pulled to the same frequency. The Wheel of Heavenly Emanation beneath their feet accelerated dramatically, and with each rotation of the wheel, countless causal lines were extracted, recombined, and reorganized, transforming into a visible waterfall of destiny light that shot straight into the sky.
That wasn't an attack, but a correction—they were attempting to use the highest authority of the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall to forcibly "define" the boundaries of the existence of the Annihilation Thoughtless Stillness Dragon, so that this thing that shouldn't have been recorded by fate would fall back into the realm that could be calculated and judged.
The sea of light trembled, and the projections of the nine rivers of destiny intertwined in the void to form a massive "causal cage." At the center of the cage, countless calculation symbols emerged, as if heaven and earth were writing a command that would be enforced. The figures of the Fate-Emanating Immortal Envoys appeared incredibly small yet incredibly solemn within the cascade of light. Their voices overlapped, transforming into a deep and ancient resonance, attempting to make the entire Sea of Heavenly Emanation acknowledge the legitimacy of this correction.
However, the Thoughtless Stillness Dragon simply lowered its head slowly.
It didn't roar, didn't raise its claws, and didn't even make any obvious movements. Its eyes, stained with the scarlet control mark, shifted slightly, its gaze landing on the causal cage. In the next instant, all the flowing symbols of fate within the cage seemed to have their "meaning" erased by an invisible hand. The symbols remained, but no longer pointed to any outcome. Immediately afterward, a silent ripple spread from the depths of the dragon's eyes; it wasn't an explosion of power, but the collapse of "thought."
The nine Fate-Emanating Immortal Envoys were simultaneously startled.
Their armor was the first to lose its luster; the glass-like shell began to fade from the edges, as if the "reason" that carried cause and effect had been removed. Then, their figures began to become transparent, not disappearing, but rather their existence was being stripped away layer by layer.
Some opened their mouths as if to shout, but no sound came out; others raised their hands to try to grasp the thread of fate again, only to find that their hands were no longer recognized by "existence". In a short moment, nine figures froze simultaneously before the Wheel of Heavenly Emanation, and then, as if they had never existed, were completely erased - leaving not even a speck of light behind.
The Wheel of Heavenly Emanation suddenly stopped, emitting a low, resonant sound that was almost a mournful cry.
At that very moment, a voice filled with boundless rage, like thunder, exploded from the deepest part of the Sea of Heavenly Emanation—
"You beast, how dare Annihilation my disciples! You're courting death!"
As the sound faded, several crisscrossing cracks were forcefully cleaved open in the void. The first to step out was a middle-aged man, his body surging with chaotic energy, his aura both steady and domineering, as if the primordial storm Heaven and Earth Undetermined revived within him— Zhang Lin, the Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall, Chaos Realm · Supreme. With one step, the sea of light beneath his feet was directly pressed into a huge dent, and the flow of destiny around him was forced to change course.
Following closely behind was a sword shadow as cold as frost. The sword was not yet drawn, but its intent had already swept across the Sea of Heavenly Emanation. Wherever it passed, the lines of cause and effect were severed, revealing a brief but dangerous void—the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall, Jian Wuhen, the Silent Mystery Realm · Supreme. He stood in the void, his gaze like a sword, locked on the Thoughtless Stillness Dragon, his whole being seemingly fused with the concept of "severing fate".
Finally, a gentle yet irresistible light rose from the depths of the temple. The light was not intense, yet it caused all the chaotic lines of cause and effect to instinctively retreat to the sides. A figure emerged from the light, dressed in simple robes, with a calm expression, as if he had already seen through the end of countless destinies— Ming Ji, the Lord of the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall, whose cultivation had already reached the Stainless Realm · Middle Stage. In an instant, the Wheel of Heavenly Emanation slowly began to turn again, as if paying tribute to the true master.
At the same time, more than ten elders at the Silent Mystery Realm · Supreme appeared one after another, their auras echoing each other, forming a stable yet terrifying causal battle formation. Further away, countless Fate-Emanating Immortal Envoys rose into the air from all parts of the temple, their radiant armor converging into a dazzling nebula of destiny, and the entire Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall entered an unprecedented state of full combat readiness.
However, at that moment, the Master Soul Dominion slowly raised his hand.
With its palm facing down, it pressed down gently.
The Light of Stainlessness poured forth from its body, no longer a simple purification, but carrying a cold, "cutting" connotation. Wherever the light reached, the flow of light in the Sea of Heavenly Emanation began to break, and the projections of rivers of destiny in the air suddenly shattered, as if cut into pieces by an invisible blade. Scenes of birth and death in certain worlds suddenly froze in the Emanation Wheel, then turned into an unreadable blank. The continuity of cause and effect was forcibly interrupted, and the entire Sea of Heavenly Emanation trembled continuously, as if an intricately woven net had been brutally torn open.
At this moment, fate no longer flowed smoothly, but began to "bleed."
Above the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall, light and darkness, cause and effect and nothingness, order and Annihilation confront each other simultaneously, like an Ultimate storm capable of rewriting the landscape of the Void Obliteration Domain, silently brewing and expanding.
Ming Ji stood before the Wheel of Heavenly Emanation, his gaze like a fixed star piercing the river of destiny. He showed no extra emotional fluctuations, merely raising his hand and waving it, yet his voice resounded throughout the entire Sea of Heavenly Emanation, as if amplified billions of times by cause and effect itself.
"All disciples, listen to my Logic Remnants Lord! All elders, join forces and attack the Thoughtless Stillness Dragon! Zhang Lin, come with me to deal with the leader!"
The moment the command was given, the entire Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall was fully awakened.
Like arrows of destiny pulled simultaneously, the Fate-Emanating Immortal Envoys burst forth from the sea of light, its glazed armor sparking dense causal flames as it moved at high speed; more than ten elders at the pinnacle of the Silent Mystery Realm · Supreme simultaneously formed hand seals, and layers upon layers of causal judgment arrays appeared in the void, interlocking with each other to form a net of destiny covering tens of thousands of miles, pointing directly at the Thoughtless Stillness Dragon coiled in the sky.
At that very moment, a barely perceptible ripple appeared in the void behind the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall.
A figure silently descended from the ripples, his aura compressed, folded, and rewritten, completely merging into the surrounding causal fluctuations. Qin Yu had already donned the glazed battle armor of a Fate-Emanating Immortal Envoys, his face veiled by the mist of fate, even his own Fate Soul frequency actively synchronized with the surrounding disciples. He stood in the dense ranks of envoys, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield, calmly scanning the causal entanglement between Ming Ji, Zhang Lin, the Master Soul Dominion, and the Thoughtless Stillness Dragon.
He knew very well that if he were to Silent Mystery Realm · Peak, to remind the demonic dragon of its true nature and source of control, he would only be met with suspicion, or even be seen as an anomaly disrupting the battle. Rather than that, it would be better to first disappear into the torrent, eliminate the Logic Remnants Lord, weaken the "causal supply" of the Master Soul Dominion, and wait for the true turning point to appear. Moreover, he had a vague premonition that the true trump card of the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall had not yet been revealed.
Above the sky, the battle has already begun.
More than ten elders attacked simultaneously, the radiance of causal judgment like layers of celestial law seals, pressing down fiercely on the Thoughtless Stillness Dragon. It was not a simple attack, but an attempt to forcibly label its existence as "determinable" and "restrainable." Countless symbols of fate lit up around the dragon's body, only to be dimmed and shattered by the aura of Annihilation in the next instant. The massive body of the Thoughtless Stillness Dragon slowly swam, and wherever it passed, the sea of light stagnated, thoughts fell, and the entire space seemed to be dragged into an abyss of "thoughtlessness."
At the same time, the battlefield on the other side suddenly collapsed.
Ming Ji and Zhang Lin stepped out from the left and right, releasing their Chaos Realm and Stainless Realm auras without reservation. The Sea of Heavenly Emanation surged beneath their feet, forcing the River of Destiny to change course, clearing a "causal path" directly to their Master Soul Dominion for them. Zhang Lin struck first, unleashing a punch that carried the primordial power of undifferentiated chaos, shattering the causal lines along its path into fragments. Ming Ji, meanwhile, raised his hand, and the illusory image of the Wheel of Heavenly Emanation appeared in his palm. As the wheel spun, it attempted to incorporate the Master Soul Dominion into a forced calculation.
At this moment, the Master Soul Dominion slowly spread its arms.
The Stainless power within it was no longer merely for defense or interference, but rather manifested in a deeper form of "manipulation." Countless fine, almost imperceptible threads of cause and effect extended from its body, directly penetrating the depths of the Thoughtless Stillness Dragon's body. In the next instant, the Thoughtless Stillness Dragon's pupils turned completely crimson, and a cold, hollow yet expansive wave suddenly spread from its head.
--The Calamity of Thought Stillness was forcibly triggered.
There was no explosion, no roar, yet the world seemed to be frozen in time. Some of the Fate-Emanating Immortal Envoys faltered slightly, and certain causal formulas that were not yet stable failed on the spot, their light extinguished; in the distant world projection, mountains silently lost their sense of "majesty," their outlines collapsing into a gray shadow.
Amidst the chaos, Qin Yu and his team broke through.
Along with tens of thousands of Fate-Emanating Immortal Envoys, he faced the surging tide of Logic Remnants Lord. These Remnants Lord varied in form, their bodies pieced together from fragments of rules and logic, constantly polluting and altering the causal structure around them as they moved. Qin Yu mingled within the formation, yet his attacks were exceptionally precise. With each swing, he would precisely sever a key logical node, causing a group of Remnants Lord to collapse simultaneously in a chain reaction.
The battlefield was torn into several levels: above the sky, the Chaos Realm and the Stainless Realm clashed head-on;
The middle level is a causal game between the elders of the Silent Mystery Realm and the Thoughtless Stillness Dragon; while the bottom level is a bloody purge by countless immortal envoys and the Logic Remnants Lord.
Destiny is burning, cause and effect are breaking, and a great war that could shake the very foundation of the Void Obliteration Domain has inevitably begun in full swing.
Under the spread of the "Calamity of Thought Stillness of Thoughtless Stillness Dragon," the Sea of Heavenly Emanation exhibited unprecedented anomalies. The once ceaselessly flowing sea of light suddenly stagnated, and countless causal lines, as if choked by an invisible hand, began to dim and break one by one. Even the concept of "evolution" itself was being stripped away.
The world was plunged into a blank omen more terrifying than destruction. Just as the wave of silence was about to completely engulf the center of the battlefield, more than ten supreme elders of the Silent Mystery Realm · Supreme stepped forward at the same time. Their figures transformed into multiple overlapping shadows in the same instant, as if they existed simultaneously on different causal branches, and then forcibly merged into one in the next instant, forming a causal resonance array that stretched across the sky.
As they simultaneously formed hand seals, a deep rumble, like the turning of a celestial wheel, resounded from the depths of the void. A magnificent Dharma image, covering tens of thousands of miles, slowly unfolded above the Sea of Heavenly Emanation. It was a massive "Order Adjudication Heavenly Screen" woven from countless runes of destiny, causal trajectories, and calculus light traces.
As the celestial canopy descended, its color was not pure light, but a translucent, glassy texture existing between existence and Non-Existence, with the edges constantly flowing with a long river of fate that had been forcibly woven and rearranged. At this moment, the auras of the dozen or so elders completely merged into one, and they shouted in unison. Their voices, when superimposed, no longer sounded like human speech, but rather like the voice of heaven and earth themselves. The Order Adjudication Heavenly Screen suddenly pressed down, colliding head-on with the Silent Waves of Thought released by the Thoughtless Stillness Dragon.
There was no explosion in that instant, only a kind of "silence" that made even the soul tremble. Wherever the Calamity of Thought Stillness touched, it should have reduced all thought, memory, and cognition to zero, but under the cover of the Order Adjudication Heavenly Screen, that power of zeroing was forcibly "defined" as an abnormal state that could be recorded and restrained.
Countless causal runes lit up and shattered wildly in the air, as if performing an overloaded calculation. Ripples spread across the surface of the sky, and in each ripple, the afterimage of the erased concept appeared, only to be quickly suppressed back into nothingness. The whole process was like a celestial barrier that withstood billions of impacts but was still barely maintaining its shape, forcefully keeping the Calamity of Thought Stillness outside the core of the battlefield.
Just as the elders were struggling to maintain the Order Adjudication Heavenly Screen and their auras began to show obvious signs of weakening, the Master Soul Dominion slowly raised its head. Its movements were not hurried; rather, they carried a calm composure bordering on indifference, as if the great battle before it was enough to destroy a temple...
It was merely a node in a predetermined scheme. The next instant, an extremely pure dark golden light shone from the depths of its chest. The light was not dazzling, but it caused the surrounding Light of Stainlessness to instinctively converge and collapse towards it.
The Master Soul Dominion extended a finger, and where the fingertip pointed, the void seemed to be gently rippled by an invisible force, with fine, almost imperceptible ripples spreading outwards. Immediately afterward, a terrifying divine power covering the entire battlefield was fully activated—it did not directly kill, but rather, using Stainless as its exterior and stripping as its core, forcibly launched a "Karmic Retrieval."
In an instant, all the Logic Remnants Lord had been marked Master Soul Dominion, the causal lines that had been interfered with by it, and even those fragments of fate that had just been forcibly stabilized under the Order Adjudication Heavenly Screen, began to flow back to it uncontrollably.
Countless lights and shadows were drawn away and pulled from all directions, transforming into twisted torrents of cause and effect, which were forcibly poured into the Master Soul Dominion's body. Its aura rose steadily, as if it were reweaving a more complete and stable "dominant-level logic core" in a short period of time.
Even more terrifying is that this recovery process is not limited to the distinction between friend and foe; it even disrupts the local causal flow of the Sea of Heavenly Emanation itself, causing the River of Destiny to experience brief interruptions and overlaps at certain points.
The Order Adjudication Heavenly Screen trembled violently at this moment, and the balance that had been barely maintained was torn open again. The scarlet eyes of the Thoughtless Stillness Dragon suddenly lit up, and its body slowly stretched out under the Master Soul Dominion. The fluctuations of the Calamity of Thought Stillness rose again and began to resonate strangely with the Karmic Retrieval.
The battlefield was completely upgraded in that instant. The elders' supernatural powers were being consumed and analyzed, while the linkage between the Master Soul Dominion and the Thoughtless Stillness Dragon showed an increasingly unshakeable trend.
