High in the sky, the figure of Primordial Chaos - Final Judgment stabilized after its soul core was exposed.
It did not retreat, nor did it erupt in fury; it merely chuckled softly and with extreme restraint. The laughter did not seem to come from its throat, but rather seemed to overflow from the "echo of Final Judgment" recorded throughout the ages.
"Just as I thought." "You're not breaking my logic... you're denying the premise that 'the logic was ever true'."
It slowly raised its arms, the movement extremely slow, yet it created a strange sense of re-registration in the enclosed high-altitude space.
It wasn't an intimidating force, but a confirmation that sent shivers down one's spine—as if the heavens and earth were turning the pages of a catalog that Does Not Exist in any ancient texts.
In the next instant, countless "names" began to appear.
Those were not words, nor symbols, but the names of all existence that had ever been acknowledged. The names of emperors, gods, realms, paths, beings, and laws of all the heavens and myriad worlds... They were forcibly drawn from the end of time, like billions of afterimages, layer upon layer, converging before the Final Judgment.
With each appearance of a "name," the sky collapses a little. -- Names Determined for Eternity, The One True Seal.
At this moment, there was no burst of light, no energy fluctuation.
All the "names" collapsed and refined in the same instant, condensing into an indescribable mark. It was not enormous, but it made "indelible" an instinctive cognition. It was not power, but the fact itself that existence was registered as "unique".
Even before the true seal was projected, Jin Hanyan already understood its essence.
This is not an attack. This is a naming.
Once branded, her "Nameless Simplicity" and the "Domain of Unborn Existence and Nonexistence" upon which she stands will be forcibly dragged into the "named" sequence.
It was not defeat or demise, but rather a structural collapse of the Dao Path.
However, Jin Hanyan's expression did not change in the slightest. She didn't even look at the real seal.
She simply took a step forward.
The moment the foot landed, there was no tremor in the air; instead, there was an extremely eerie feeling of "receding."
It's not that space is receding, but rather—the completeness of existence is receding. Light and shadow fade, cause and effect loosen, and even the concept of "what has happened" begins to become blurred.
She finally spoke, her voice extremely soft, yet it caused the Final Judgment's soul core to tremble uncontrollably for the first time.
"You've made a mistake." She raised her right hand, not pointing, but spreading her five fingers.
"Nameless does not mean 'without a name'."
In that instant, the void behind her was truly opened up.
That wasn't a rift, but rather—the entrance before the Heaven and Earth Undetermined.
There was no time, no space, no existence or non-existence. There was only a silence so profound that even the word "chaos" had not yet come into being.
"It is a state where the name has not yet been allowed to be born."
Her second sentence, "Return to stillness," was neither a command nor a declaration of divine power.
It was simply an outcome, tacitly approved by Heaven and Earth.
The "Name Decided for Eternity, Unique True Seal" did not shatter or disappear the moment it touched that "Domain of the Unjudged"—but rather lost the premise for its existence.
Because here, the act of "being named" has not yet occurred, and the concept of "unique" is out of the question.
The name of eternity, like a reversed galaxy, was peeled away from the true seal, regressing into unconfirmed traces, then becoming ineffective, extinguished, and dissipated. The soul core on the Final Judgment's chest suddenly contracted, and for the first time, the purplish-black light became disordered and hollow.
"This is impossible--!"
For the first time, cracks appeared in the Final Judgment verdict.
This time, Jin Hanyan raised her index finger.
There was no build-up of momentum. There was no intimidation.
It was just a very casual gesture. The "Nameless Finger" was not an attack.
Rather, it is a denial of the very history of "naming having occurred".
The true seal vanished high in the sky. It wasn't destroyed, but rewritten as "never completed." All related causes, confirmations, registrations, and acknowledgments became invalid in the same instant, as if this divine power had never truly existed in any record of the myriad realms.
Primordial Chaos - Final Judgment was forced to retreat several steps, the runes on its wings extinguished on a large scale, and the light of its soul core dimmed to almost transparent.
High above, only the woman in white stood before the entrance to the "Domain of the Unjudged," barefoot and with an indifferent expression.
She looked at the person who claimed to be the Final Judgment, her tone calm to the point of being cold.
"What you call the Final Judgment is nothing more than a label that the world attaches to everything after birth." "And I—" "before the anchor appeared."
High in the sky, the Primordial Chaos Final Judgment finally restrained all its disrespect.
It no longer mocked, no longer looked down upon; its skeletal face slowly rose in the purplish-black soul light, and for the first time, its gaze truly landed "equally" on Jin Hanyan. At that moment, the Primordial Remnant Power around it no longer radiated outwards, but instead collapsed inwards, like an ancient ferocious beast that had retracted its claws and was preparing to tear apart its prey.
"It seems... I really was careless."
Its voice was deep and calm, carrying a hint of chill that only appeared when forced to be serious, "I never expected you to possess such a level of supernatural power."
Jin Hanyan stood in the void, her white robes still and undisturbed by the wind, her eyes indifferent, yet a faint, almost imperceptible chill curled at the corner of her lips.
Don't think that your cultivation level can suppress everything.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it made the "completeness" of the scene above waver once more. "What you don't know... is yet to come."
Before the words were even finished, the Primordial Chaos Final Judgment had already made its move.
There was no build-up of momentum, no chanting.
The moment it raised its hand, the "premise" of heaven and earth was directly torn apart.
"Judging the Primordial Chaos, Breaking Through the Dao in a Single Thought"
The moment this supernatural power appeared, the world seemed to return to before the "Tao begot one," yet it was forcibly pushed towards the Ultimate point of inevitable differentiation. Not Yin and Yang, not the Five Elements, but something even earlier and more primordial—the separation of primordial chaos. An invisible yet absolute rule suddenly descended:
Everything must be divided.
For the first time, the Silent Nothingness Domain beneath Jin Hanyan's feet trembled violently. It wasn't suppressed, but rather forced to "provide an answer." An invisible force of division pierced the realm's boundaries, directly targeting the core of her Dao body—the state of "neither existence nor non-existence"—attempting to split it in two.
Half of them, pulled to the Ultimate, possess infinite certainty and infinite validity;
Half, pushed to the Ultimate of nothingness, infinite negation, infinite dissipation.
Two extremes simultaneously took shape within her, repelling and devouring each other, forming an irreconcilable paradoxical vortex. A terrifying visual tear appeared high in the sky: one side of the white-clad figure was enveloped in a dazzling radiance of existence, like the only reality acknowledged by all realms;
On the other side, however, it quickly faded and became transparent, as if even the right to be "observed" was disappearing. Space around her twisted into two incompatible forms, and the roaring sound was like the Great Dao being torn apart.
The wings of the Primordial Chaos - Final Judgment fully unfurled, its soul core blazing with light, its voice echoing amidst the differentiation of the primordial chaos. "Before the chaos was divided, it was merely a transition. Now that the primordial chaos has arisen, it must be judged—your path ends here!"
However, just as the force of division was about to make its "final judgment"—
Jin Hanyan gently closed her eyes.
There was no resistance, no struggle.
She simply raised her left hand.
" In the Chaos Undivided, Heaven and Earth Judged."
At this moment, it wasn't a matter of the domain expanding, but rather a matter of the domain being redefined. The previously forcibly pulled towards the Silent Nothingness Domain, which was supposed to "must differentiate," suddenly lost its obligation to "answer." The rules of primordial chaos's division were forcibly halted halfway through—not blocked, but...
Instead, they were asked to return to the state before the question was asked. The concepts of Yin and Yang, existence, nothingness, division and unity simultaneously became ineffective, and the power of differentiation stagnates for the first time.
Then, she opened her eyes, her gaze cold and clear.
"Undecided - Yin and Yang Reversed."
In that instant, the "Ultimate existence" and "Ultimate non-existence" acting within her body were forcibly switched. Existence fell into denial, and nothingness was pulled into acceptance. The two forces that were originally meant to devour each other suddenly clashed in the misalignment, forming a reverse explosion.
The structure of the primordial chaos was torn apart on the spot, turning into an out-of-control primal shock that backfired on the caster himself.
The Primordial Chaos - Final Judgment shuddered violently, and the first clear crack appeared on the surface of the Soul Core.
But Jin Hanyan did not stop there.
She took a step forward, her white robes billowing through the air, her figure becoming Formless in that instant, even the concept of "she is making a move" was erased. The next moment, she was already standing in front of the Final Judgment, close enough to see the Primordial Remnant Power surging within the soul core.
"Silent Void, the Way Reverses All Heavens."
She only said that one sentence.
The aftershocks of the primordial chaos's differentiation had not yet dissipated, and the Final Judgment had not yet had time to regroup its power. The not-yet-completely-dissipated "Judgment of Primordial Chaos: A Single Thought Breaks the Dao" was forcibly reversed the instant these words were uttered. The "originating thought" of differentiation was pulled back to its unformed chaotic state.
Then—with a backlash force ten thousand times greater, it was poured into the Final Judgment's soul core.
The purplish-black soul light exploded with a deafening roar.
Finally, Jin Hanyan raised her index finger.
Without emotion, without hesitation. "Return to Silence - The Nameless Finger."
This pointing finger was not for killing, but for sealing a name. The moment the Final Judgment's soul core was struck, the name of the Great Dao, "Primordial Chaos - Final Judgment," was forcibly obscured, the soul core's self-sustaining structure collapsed, and its light suddenly dimmed.
The entire soul seemed to have its foundation ripped out, and it was violently pushed back hundreds of feet.
High in the sky, the lingering echoes of the primordial chaos's differentiation completely faded away.
The Primordial Chaos - Final Judgment: The First Truly Significant Devastation.
Jin Hanyan remained standing in the same spot, her white robes unchanged, as if the clash that had just occurred, powerful enough to tear apart the Dao Source, was merely an insignificant test.
The Primordial Chaos - Final Judgment retreated hundreds of feet in the void, its soul core trembling, cracks spreading like a spider web, yet it did not continue to collapse. The body formed from the remnants of the Primordial Authority and the Master Soul Dominion slowly stabilized, the scattered purplish-black soul light forcibly pulled back into its body.
It was as if an invisible hand had pressed the pause button on the entire sky. It breathed softly for a moment, then let out an extremely faint yet chilling laugh. The laugh did not come from its throat, but resonated directly at the level of rules, like an ancient era recalling how it ended all living beings.
Then it extended its right arm.
That wasn't "retrieving" a weapon; it was more like peeling away a pre-existing part from its own being. The purplish-black soul essence peeled away and solidified layer by layer along its arm bones, finally transforming in its palm into a long, twisted weapon—resembling a halberd, but without a fixed blade.
The entire piece is forged from fragmented timelines, remnants of judged fates, and countless "denied endings." The densely packed runes on the halberd are not words, but rather microcosms of ended histories. If someone looks directly at them, their consciousness will be dragged into countless "worlds sentenced to death."
This is its fundamental weapon— the Final Judgment Epoch-Judging Halberd.
The moment the weapon was fully formed, the "tolerance" of heaven and earth was emptied. The wind stopped flowing, the light lost its direction, and even the surging chaos was forced to freeze, as if everything was waiting for an inevitable verdict.
The Primordial Chaos - Final Judgment slowly raised its Final Judgment Epoch-Judging Halberd. The movement was not fast, but it gave people the illusion that it was not gathering power, but allowing the world to continue to exist until the next breath. The moment the halberd's tip was aimed at Jin Hanyan, it spoke in a low voice, its voice sinking into the deepest level of the rules.
"This strike is not about victory or defeat, but about ending the fight."
The Final Judgment Epoch-Judging Halberd down.
There was no trace of a swing, no sound of air being torn apart; what happened in that instant was not an "attack," but a slaughter pre-written as a predetermined fact. High in the sky, a dark crack that could not be called light suddenly formed; it did not cut through space, nor did it Cause Splitting.
Instead, it directly penetrates the underlying authority of "allowing existence." In all areas touched by it, the world no longer questions "whether it's reasonable," but is forcibly given a conclusion—
Slaughter them all.
The killing was not directed at the physical body, but at the "right to continue existing";
Extinction is not erasure, but rather a declaration that it "cannot be reversed."
This strike is Primordial level execution technique—once it is executed, even the escape route of the undifferentiated chaos will be sealed off.
At that moment Jin Hanyan raised her head, a subtle hint of seriousness appearing in her eyes for the first time. She neither retreated nor dodged; her white robes fluttered silently in the still air. She took a step forward, transforming herself into the Formless, shapeless, and Annihilation Other Shore.
He seemed to revert to a state of "not yet attacked," and at the same time, his left hand unleashed the Chaos Undivided, Heaven and Earth Judged, dragging everything around him back into the Domain of the Unjudged.
The Judgment of Slaughter and Extinction collided head-on with the Silent Nothingness Domain.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a very low, muffled sound, as if two "endpoints" were negating each other. The sky suddenly collapsed into a colorless vacuum, and then countless fine cracks spread out from Jin Hanyan's feet. In each crack, there was a glimpse of the afterimage of an era that had been forcibly ended.
She caught the blow.
But the price appeared in the next instant.
The Final Judgment Epoch-Judging Halberd's killing power was not completely neutralized. It was not a pure force impact, but an unavoidable superposition of judgments. Jin Hanyan's Silent Void · Dao of Chaos could make all things revert to their undifferentiated state, but it could not erase the fact that "this judgment has been confirmed by the Primordial Level." In that instant, she essentially used her own Dao body to forcibly bear an end that was allowed to happen.
For the first time, faint cracks appeared on the white robe.
It wasn't blood, but damage to the "integrity of her Dao body." A tiny yet real gap had been torn open in the Silent Void Simplicity within her body, causing a brief imbalance in the undifferentiated chaos, a surge of energy, and a violent tremor in her chest. She groaned, her body sliding backward, the void beneath her feet shattering into layers of broken boundaries.
The reason this attack injured her was not because she was weaker, but because—
She is fighting for others.
She stood above the Dragon Origin Ancient Capital, with the city still embroiled in a bloody battle and countless cultivators behind her. If she were to completely retreat into the "Nameless Simplicity," this attack would indeed not be able to harm her in the slightest. However, in that case, the Final Judgment would fall directly into the world below, adding the entire main city and billions of lives to the list of those "permitted to end."
She chose to bear it.
The woman in white steadied herself in the void, a faint trace of blood spilling from the corner of her lips, which was quickly wiped away by the power of Silent Void. She raised her eyes, her gaze still calm, but now carrying a more genuine chill than before.
The Primordial Chaos - Final Judgment stood opposite her, its Final Judgment Epoch-Judging Halberd hanging low. The cracks in its soul core remained, but they had stabilized again. It looked at her and slowly spoke, its voice deep and resolute.
"What? You can't handle this? You were so confident just now."
