The Taowu Formless Devil Beast, stood atop the shattered sky. Its hollow human face slowly turned towards Qin Yu, and for the first time, its eyes, reflecting nothingness, truly "focused," the pure, Stainless light collapsing layer by layer deep within its pupils.
It seemed to have compressed the life and death of the entire battlefield into a single, cold killing intent. Its deep, hoarse voice echoed between heaven and earth, as if squeezed out from the back of the world—"Very good, very good... another one coming to die."
Before the words were even finished, its aura suddenly shifted, and the light and shadow of heaven and earth were forcibly stretched and distorted in that instant, as if someone had used an invisible hand to crumple reality into a thin sheet of paper about to be swallowed up. The Stainless Tao Devil Beast slowly raised its head.
A sudden burst of deep blue light erupted from his eyes, neither dazzling nor intense, yet carrying a calm judgment that made everything feel it "should be erased."
"Void Shadow Devouring"
That wasn't an attack, but an erosion occurring at the level of "existence permission." Wherever the azure gaze fell, the void itself collapsed into a weightless, dark tide, like a shadow seeping from behind space, silent and still.
Yet, in the instant it appeared, it covered an area of a hundred feet. The black shadow did not tear or shatter, but rather attached itself to reality in an extremely gentle yet absolute way—everything touched had its "form" and "obsession" simultaneously marked as superfluous.
Above the city, a Chaos Realm cultivator who was about to charge forward didn't even have time to cry out before his figure vanished into a series of bubbles in the instant a black shadow swept past. His physical body, soul, and all traces of his past cultivation were as if erased.
Only a blank space remained, unable to prove even their "previous existence." The shadow continued to spread, its target Qin Yu and Jin Hanyan, as if it believed they still "possessed form" and should be swallowed up.
Just as the shadows were about to close in, Jin Hanyan stepped forward. Her eyes became extremely clear at that moment, so clear that they no longer reflected any image, as if she had personally severed even the thought of "what am I looking at".
Her aura suddenly contracted inward, then expanded in the opposite direction, and a power completely contrary to "being erased" awakened within her—not resistance, but reversal.
"Silent Void - The Way Reverses All Heavens"
There was no light, no shadow, and no roar. The moment the dark tide touched her, it suddenly lost its "direction of devouring," like a river whose source had been drained, its original logic of "erasure" forcibly reversed.
Those corrosive intentions that were marked as "should dissipate" by the Stainless Truth were redefined in reverse in the realm unfolded by Jin Hanyan —neither "existence" nor "nothingness," but were directly sent back to a state of "not yet allowed to happen."
The shadowy figure froze and tumbled before her, as if it had collided with an invisible mirror, beginning to disintegrate and rewind on its own. The eerie blue light was peeled away layer by layer, revealing its hollow and unbalanced core. Jin Hanyan's clothes fluttered without wind, and she seemed to be standing on a reversed causal line. The space around her was slightly displaced, yet she was terrifyingly stable.
At that very instant, Qin Yu made his move.
He did not confront the dark tide head-on, but slowly raised his right hand, spreading his five fingers and then gradually closing them in the void. With this action, all traces of "permitted definition" in the world began to tremble slightly, as if someone had turned a page in the bottom of the world to an annotation that should not have been read.
"Undefined Destruction Sword"
This time, even the "trajectory" Does Not Exist. Qin Yu's sword no longer extended along space, but directly cut into the premise on which "Void Shadow Devouring" was based—the default rule that "the target still has a form." The invisible sword intent fell, as if someone had erased a condition from the ledger of cause and effect, and the core of the shadow tide suddenly trembled.
The next instant, the world suddenly went dark. It wasn't that the light was swallowed up, but rather that the concept of "brightness" was temporarily canceled. Immediately afterward, a dark gray crack, deeper than the shadow, emerged from the void, like a wound in the world being torn open silently. It pierced directly through the center of the shadow tide and continued upward, striking towards the true form of the Taowu Formless Devil Beast.
Boom--
Only at this moment did the sound arrive belatedly. A terrifying shockwave exploded high in the sky, and the chaotic air waves were torn into layers of broken ring-shaped ripples. Large Logic Remnants Lord were annihilated into the most basic chaotic fragments in the aftershocks before they could even react.
For the first time, the Taowu Formless Devil Beast's mountain-like body visibly retreated, and the Stainless blue light covering its body was torn open with a hideous rift. Its illusory form fluctuated violently, as if it might fall from reality at any moment.
It let out a roar mixed with anger and confusion, and the void trembled. However, for the first time, the fact known as "severe injury" appeared in those empty eyes. The Void Shadow Devouring was completely interrupted, and the remnants of the shadow silently evaporated in mid-air, never to be reassembled again.
Qin Yu withdrew his hand and stood still, his aura returning to its restrained state, as if the strike that had just shaken the Stainless Realm · Supreme was nothing more than a casual swipe. Jin Hanyan stood beside him, her gaze calm and sharp. At this moment, the auras of the two formed an extremely dangerous balance, steadily suppressing the counterattack of the Taowu Formless Devil Beast.
High in the sky, the Devil Beast slowly steadied itself. The contempt on its human face was gone, replaced by a chilling coldness that came from having its very foundation touched. It stared at Qin Yu and Jin Hanyan, its deep aura surging through the heavens and earth, as if reassessing the "value" of these two figures before it.
The Taowu Formless Devil Beast, was blasted back into the shattered sky. Its human face twisted slightly between reality and illusion, its empty eyes fixed on Qin Yu. Its gaze was no longer contemptuous, but rather an almost instinctive vigilance and chilling coldness. The will of the Stainless Realm · Supreme surged within it, but for the first time, an inappropriate discordant sound appeared.
"What's going on...?"
That wasn't a real sound, but rather the thoughts churning within its own causal core—"A mere human at the Chaos Realm · Supreme can actually unleash such a level of divine power; while that little girl at the Stainless Realm · Supreme... her spells don't follow any known, Silent Void rules."
Its killing intent was forced to cool down at this moment, replaced by an instinctive judgment—to continue the head-on confrontation, the outcome of which was uncertain.
"No... it seems I have to use that move." In the next instant, the world suddenly lost its color.
The Taowu Formless Devil Beast, suddenly opened its mouth, but instead of roaring or unleashing a torrent of energy, it slowly exhaled an extremely strange mist. That mist possessed a Kerin blue hue that could not be defined by conventional colors—
Like the darkness of the deep sea and the Emptiness of the sky, blue itself seems to have lost its "observable" boundaries. The moment the mist surges out, subtle misalignments begin to appear in the space above and below, inside and outside, as if reality has been folded into a structure that cannot be distinguished by front and back.
The fog spread slowly, yet with a chilling inevitability. Wherever it passed, light no longer traveled in straight lines; distant scenes appeared closer, while nearby objects seemed to retreat to an untouchable "other side." This was not obscuring, but a distortion of the very logic of space.
Qin Yu's gaze froze completely at that moment.
His Chaos Origin resonated within him, his intuition churning wildly—this mist was not simply energy, but a product of some kind of causal folding.
Jin Hanyan also noticed the abnormality immediately. She took a step to the side, forming a back-to-back position with Qin Yu. Her aura was restrained yet highly concentrated. It was as if she had taken a half step back from her "existence" and entered a state of Silent Void she could counterattack at any time.
Without exchanging a word, the two instantly completed a tacit defensive preparation.
Kerr's blue mist surged and swirled, like an inverted abyss between heaven and earth. Time was stretched and compressed within it, and even the chaotic air currents showed discontinuities. A few breaths seemed to be infinitely extended, yet also seemed to vanish in an instant.
Then—the fog slowly dissipated. The moment the world reappeared, everyone gasped in shock.
Where the Taowu Formless Devil Beast had stood, two identical figures appeared.
The tiger's body was as massive as a mountain, covered in fur as black as the void, from which flowed a Stainless, ethereal blue light; the human face was equally emotionless, with empty eyes like a mirror reflecting nothingness; the tiger's claws, fangs, and long tail were identical, even the fluctuations in its breath and the ethereal nature of its existence were completely the same.
What's even more chilling is that both of the Devil Beast are at the Stainless Realm · Supreme.
It's not an illusion, not a clone, and certainly not a projection.
They stand together between heaven and earth, each occupying a complete causal loop, as if they "should have existed this way" from the very beginning.
Jin Hanyan's gaze suddenly turned icy. She saw through the essence of this supernatural power at a glance, and her voice was low and sharp. "I never thought... this beast could actually replicate its own Cause and Effect Logic Fate Soul, creating an exact replica of itself."
It's not simply about replicating a physical body or power; it's about completely reenacting the fact that "it existed once," following the causal folds, and forcibly writing a second "equivalent existence" into reality.
She glanced sideways at Qin Yu, her tone unwavering. "Young Master Qin, it's a matter of one of us Annihilation."
Qin Yu's gaze was equally calm and unwavering, a fleeting shadow of chaos flashing deep within his pupils. He nodded slowly, his voice low yet resolute. "Good. No matter what tricks it plays, as long as cause and effect remain, it must be completely Annihilation."
The two stepped out almost simultaneously, their auras splitting as they each locked onto a Taowu Formless Devil Beast. The power of chaos and Silent Void rose simultaneously at opposite ends of the world, dividing the battlefield in two, yet they were also closely connected at a higher level.
The two battlefields collapsed and unfolded simultaneously, as if an invisible hand had forcibly torn the entire sky above the Shadow Void Capital in two, one half falling into the abyss of chaotic shadows, and the other half Entering Stillness, desolate polar night.
Qin Yu in the center of the void. The Taowu Formless Devil Beast, slowly raised its head opposite him. Its human face remained devoid of any emotion, except for a very subtle ring of causal traces that quietly rotated deep within its eyes that reflected the void.
The next instant, its tail suddenly straightened, and the beastly tail, which was originally like a whip, transformed into a circular trajectory that spanned the heavens and the earth in the moment of its swing. Space was forcibly flattened, curled, and stretched, as if countless fragments of birth and death were brutally stuffed into the same instant.
"Dust Extinction Reincarnation ends" Boom--
Where the trail of shadow swept past, a vortex of reincarnation, a thousand feet in diameter, forcibly formed before Qin Yu. It wasn't an energy vortex, but a destructive structure interwoven with the afterimages of "past life, present life, and Unborn" and fragments of karma.
Inside the vortex, there was neither light nor darkness, only the silent churning of causal dust that had been forcibly crushed. Any being caught in it would have all traces of its "past existence" extracted, the chain of reincarnation torn apart piece by piece, ultimately turning into Beginningless, Endless dust.
Qin Yu's robes fluttered at the edge of the vortex of reincarnation, and the Chaos Origin resonated deeply within him. He did not retreat; instead, he raised his right hand in that instant, his five fingers slowly opening, as if grasping something unseen in the void.
The first counterattack has not yet materialized.
The Chaos Shadow Origin within his body spread first, and the world beneath his feet experienced an extremely brief "dislocation of existence and non-existence." The thousand-foot vortex of reincarnation had clearly touched his aura, but in an instant, it lost the concept of "target" —Qin Yu's existence was actively sent into the "neither existence nor non-existence" gap by himself.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Yu took his second step.
He pointed his left hand together and uttered a barely audible syllable. The Three Forms of Fate Construction Cause and Effect Deconstruction quietly began to operate. It was not a direct attack, but rather a reverse tracing back to the source along the tail of "Dust Extinction Reincarnation," directly inserting into the causal weaving point inside the vortex, forcibly dismantling the "cause that the Taowu Formless Devil Beast used this technique" into hundreds of disjointed fragments.
The vortex paused violently. In that instant, Qin Yu's right hand fell completely.
The Silent Origin Stainless Sword silently appeared. He did not unleash a complete sword strike, but instead used the sword as a guide to forcibly superimpose the Chaos Shadow Main Origin, Life Structure Existence Erasure, and the Sword Dao itself. There was no Sword Qi in front of the sword's edge, only a chaotic rift compressed to the Ultimate. Within the rift, all definitions of "reincarnation," "before and after," and "rebirth" were simultaneously denied.
The fissure and the vortex of reincarnation collided head-on.
There was no explosion. There was no shockwave.
There was only one low, cracking sound, as if it came from the very roots of the world.
A gap was forcibly torn open in "Dust Extinction Reincarnation," and the tail of the Taowu Formless Devil Beast paused slightly at this moment. For the first time, its causal wheel marks became disordered, and the Stainless blue light on the surface of its body dimmed for a moment.
Qin Yu groaned, a trace of chaotic blood spilling from the corner of his mouth—he too had been swept by the aftershocks of the vortex of reincarnation, and part of his own reincarnation projection had been erased, but with the support of the Supreme source of chaos, this damage was forcibly suppressed within an "acceptable" range.
He steadied himself, his eyes remaining calm. His head was only slightly injured.
--
The battlefield on the other side, however, presented a completely different scene.
At almost the same moment, the Jin Hanyan Taowu Formless Devil Beast swung its tail, unleashing the same "Dust Extinction Reincarnation" technique. A thousand-foot-long vortex of reincarnation unfolded before her, and karma and fragments of her past life poured down like a torrential rain.
However, Jin Hanyan did not back down.
The instant the vortex of reincarnation took shape, her figure unexpectedly took a step forward, as if half of her body had been "erased" by the world. "Formless and shapeless, the Annihilation Other Shore" quietly unfolded, and her existence was no longer presented as an "individual," but rather as a process being forgotten by the world. The vortex of reincarnation frantically absorbed her, only to find that it was absorbing layer upon layer of empty shells that were dissipating.
The next moment, she raised her right hand, fingers slightly spread, palm facing down. "Chaos Undivided, Heaven and Earth Judged separated."
This supernatural power was not an attack, but a judgment. Heaven and earth, up and down, birth and death, reincarnation, were forcibly judged as "undifferentiated" at this moment. The memories of past and present lives within the vortex of reincarnation suddenly became disordered, all the fragments of karma simultaneously lost their direction, and the vortex structure began to collapse from the inside.
The moment the core of the Taowu Formless Devil Beast's causal relationship faltered, Jin Hanyan's eyes turned icy cold.
With a single step, her true killing move descended. "Silent Void - The Dao Reverses the Heavens"
It was neither a strike nor annihilation, but a reversal. Using her own path of Silent Void as the axis, she completely reflected the logic of "severing the reincarnation of others" in "Dust Extinction Reincarnation" back to the caster herself.
The causal wheel of that Taowu Formless Devil Beast was forcibly reversed at this moment, and the cycle of reincarnation on its tail collapsed instantly. The backlash was like an invisible giant hammer that slammed into the very foundation of its existence.
A sudden, powerful jolt.
The Devil Beast let out a low, Ultimate roar. Large swathes of its Stainless radiance shattered, and its causal aura collapsed noticeably. Its entire state of being was forcibly dragged from "neither existing nor dying" to the brink of "dying."
Jin Hanyan swayed slightly, and her breathing became briefly disordered, but she stood straight, her gaze as cold as stars.
This head—was severely damaged by her.
Both battlefields reached a brief equilibrium at the same moment.
Qin Yu raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the Taowu Formless Devil Beast in the distance, which was only slightly injured, his gaze growing colder; Jin Hanyan slowly withdrew her stance, her body Silent Void any aura, like the ebb tide of an abyss.
The two identical Taowu Formless Devil Beast simultaneously stopped moving.
For the first time, they realized that their opponent was no longer someone they could defeat by simply overwhelming them with their cultivation level.
