Jin Hanyan's expression changed completely at that moment.
She stopped looking at the Primal Chaos Heavenly Emperor was still slowly writhing in front of her, seemingly Does Not Exist even "anger," and instead turned her head sharply to look at the battlefield outside the formation, which was being repeatedly torn apart by the power of magical artifacts.
For the first time, her voice carried a clear urgency:
"Yu—the ancestors are injured! The magic weapon of those three Main Soul Commander... is suppressing their Dao essence!"
Qin Yu did not respond immediately. He followed Jin Hanyan's gaze.
The shattered array patterns still lingered in the void, and the auras of Yun Qiusheng, Qin Zhien, Chu Xianbing, and others had clearly weakened.
Although it has not yet collapsed, it can no longer withstand a second round of direct attacks from magical artifacts.
That's not a difference in combat strength. That's the combat level being forcibly lowered.
Qin Yu's gaze gradually darkened.
"I saw it," he whispered.
He then quickly glanced at the sealed realm where he and Jin Hanyan were located. This was an independent realm formed by the superposition of "Power of Absolute Thoughtlessness" and Commander-level Soul Restriction. Space, causality, and logic were all compressed into a very small closed loop.
The Star Wancai Key cannot be unfolded here.
It's not because it was suppressed, but because there's no "historical trajectory of the existence of the magic weapon" for it to trace.
Qin Yu finally spoke, his tone unusually calm, yet tinged with a rare solemnity:
"Hanyan... if this continues, the ancestors will be in danger."
He paused, his voice lowering even further:
"Moreover, we're trapped inside this barrier, so my Star Wancai Key is completely useless."
At this very moment
Outside the formation, the cold voice of the Causal Soul Logic Venerable rang out, like a pre-calculated declaration:
"Humans." "Don't think that just because your realm is higher than ours, you can reverse anything."
It slowly raised its head, the Taiyi Divine Wood Branch drooped down, and the symbols at the tips of the branches began to calculate themselves again.
"Now you know what true despair is."
Causal Soul Logic Venerable gave no more time to hesitate.
It suddenly turned its head and whispered to the two commanders beside it:
"Second brother, fifth brother." "Go for it!"
"Do not give them any chance to resist."
The next instant, the three main Main Soul Commander simultaneously activated their magical artifacts.
The first anomaly came from that soul flag.
Supernatural Power: Myriad Souls World-Covering, Underworld Lord's Return Banner
Using the Soul Flag as the boundary, a "Main Soul Master Domain" is forcibly established. The Fate Soul of all beings entering the domain will be automatically marked as "resources that can be requisitioned".
Within the domain, the enemy's Fate Soul will be continuously drained of "self-stability," transforming into wandering souls that can be captured by the Soul Banner; any death will be directly converted into part of the Soul Banner's combat power.
The moment the Soul Banner was unfurled, the world seemed to be dragged into an endless night, with tens of thousands of soul shadows overlapping and roaring in the void, forming a ghostly sky that covered the entire battlefield.
The second deadly threat came from the Chaos Divine Lotus.
Supernatural Powers: Nine Paths in Silence, Chaotic Lotus Fall
The nine-petaled divine lotus fell simultaneously, superimposing the "final states" of the nine Great Daos in the same instant.
Time freezes, life and death reverse, cause and effect devour each other, space collapses... all the great Daos no longer operate independently, but are forcibly compressed into an "indistinguishable end point".
The nine lotus petals transformed into nine crescent moons, descending from the sky. Wherever they passed, the rules shattered like glass, and the world emitted an unbearable scream.
The third, and most fatal, blow—
The Taiyi Divine Wood Branch from the hands of Causal Soul Logic Venerable.
Supernatural Powers: Taiyi Returns to Zero, Myriad Meanings Severed
Erasure of all "meaning currently in effect", including the definition of supernatural powers, the core of the domain, and the logic of the formation.
All the abilities the enemy is currently employing will be forcibly dismantled as "preconditions that have not yet been established," and negated before they are completed.
The moment the divine tree branch fell, all the remaining text, runes, and array patterns on the battlefield collapsed simultaneously, like pages of a book being wiped away by an invisible hand.
The three divine powers pressed down on the five patriarchs outside the formation at the same time.
At that moment, the world seemed to be simultaneously locked by three different "methods of ending".
Yun Qiusheng's expression changed drastically; for the first time, he lost his composure and roared:
"Fellow Daoists—Quickly!" "Defend immediately! Quickly—!"
Without hesitation.
Almost instinctively, the five patriarchs simultaneously unleashed their respective domain powers.
Return to the Ruins Domain to Nothingness, Epoch Loop, Limitless Deduction, Life and Death Lotus Realm, Silent Void Divine Domain
The five domains were forcibly superimposed, transforming into a massive defensive wall that stretched across the battlefield.
Light flashed wildly, and rules squeezed and stitched together.
But the next moment
The Soul Banner pressed down in the Ming Ye, the Lotus Meteor's final state was crushed, and the Taiyi Divine Wood Branch's "meaning returned to zero" slashed into the core.
Boom--!
The defensive area trembled violently, and the light barrier shattered layer by layer.
The five patriarchs simultaneously coughed up a mouthful of blood, their domains were forcibly compressed to less than 30% of their original size, and their auras plummeted once again.
He blocked it, but he was already on the verge of collapse.
Inside the formation, Qin Yu and Jin Hanyan witnessed everything.
Time is slipping away, bit by bit.
The power of the three magical treasures had not yet completely dissipated.
The Ming Ye of the Soul Banner still churned, and the waning crescent moon, left behind after the Chaos Divine Lotus fell, hovered between the cracks in the sky.
At this moment, the Taiyi Divine Wood Branch truly revealed its most terrifying nature.
It's not about bombarding or crushing; it's about devouring the very meaning that was once established.
Chu Xianbing's figure was the first to show signs of change.
He remained standing, even continuing to unleash his supernatural powers, but from the depths of his Fate Soul, a very faint, delicate cracking sound suddenly emanated, like the last page of a book being quietly torn off.
The next moment
His supernatural power suddenly lost its "origin." It wasn't shattered, but rather judged to have "never truly existed."
Chu Xianbing suddenly lowered his head, a look of bewilderment appearing in his eyes for the first time.
He saw that his hands were still there, but the reasons for "why he used his supernatural powers" and "why he stood here" were fading away rapidly.
Amidst the dangling light and shadow of the Taiyi Divine Wood Branch, an invisible "zero line" swept across the Fate Soul Nucleus.
There was no explosion. There was no struggle.
Chu Xianbing's figure seemed to be gently wiped away by an invisible hand—first his aura dissipated, then his form became transparent, and finally even the trace of his "existence" was removed.
In the void, only a brief empty space remained.
It was then filled in. Chu Xianbing, the second ancestor of the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall, Stainless Realm · Supreme.
Utter Annihilation. Almost simultaneously, on the other side, Feng Xizhi, the master of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, suddenly let out a muffled groan.
Unlike Chu Xianbing, he did not disappear instantly, but clearly sensed that his Fate Soul logic was being devoured.
It wasn't forcibly torn apart by external force.
Rather, it is the "cultivation cause and effect" and "the foothold of the Great Dao" upon which he depends for existence that are being stripped away layer by layer by Taiyi Return to Zero and Wanyi Broken Book.
He tried to stabilize the Great Dao of Silent Void, attempting to resist returning to zero with "Formless" and "non-attachment".
Even the Stainless Realm · Supreme is ultimately too low.
The power of the Taiyi Divine Wood Branch was no match for him.
It simply tells reality in a cold tone: your logic is no longer allowed to exist.
Feng Xizhi's aura began to collapse. His figure slowly faded before everyone's eyes, as if he were being pulled into a silent abyss.
He didn't even have time to leave any words before he disappeared.
His Fate Soul was devoured, and his karma was erased. Feng Xizhi, the master of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, vanished completely.
Within the formation, Jin Hanyan's pupils suddenly contracted.
Her breathing became completely disordered at that moment. "Lord of the Palace--!!!"
That roar was no longer a calm judgment, but a tearing outburst of emotion, accompanied by an uncontrollable tremor, echoing within the sealed realm.
Qin Yu's heart sank at that moment.
He knew better than anyone that this was not battle damage.
This is a targeted attempt to eliminate them.
If this continues in the next round, none of the remaining patriarchs will be able to hold on.
In that instant, Qin Yu no longer hesitated.
He directly sent a very short and eerie telepathic message to Yun Qiusheng using an extremely low-frequency Fate Soul vibration, without any further explanation, consisting of only one sentence:
"If the formation isn't broken, I can't get out; if I don't get out, the magic weapon won't be destroyed; if the magic weapon isn't destroyed, everyone will die."
Yun Qiusheng's body jolted violently.
He didn't turn around, didn't ask any questions, and didn't even hesitate for a moment.
At that moment, he seemed to have aged countless years in an instant, and it was as if he had achieved a balance of all things in a single breath.
Yun Qiusheng, the patriarch of the Chaos First Palace, suddenly took a step forward, his voice like thunder:
Yun Qiusheng's aura completely subsided at that moment.
He no longer issued orders with the authority of an ancestor, but rather spoke in a deep voice, as if he had long foreseen the outcome of life and death. His voice was extremely low, yet every word was as firm as iron:
"You two." His gaze swept over Qin Zhien and Tao Piaoran.
"Quickly, find the core of that formation."
Yun Qiusheng took a deep breath and continued:
"Then we joined forces with Qin Yu Jin Hanyan inside the formation to launch a combined attack."
For the first time, his tone became unusually solemn:
"Qin Yu must be brought out. Otherwise, none of us will survive today."
After he finished speaking, he didn't say another word.
But the weight of that one sentence was heavier than any command.
Because this isn't about turning the tide, it's the only way out. Only Qin Yu.
Yun Qiusheng's gaze was fixed on the distorted, chaotic structure deep within the sealed realm, and he spoke slowly and deliberately:
"A magic weapon capable of subduing them."
Qin Zhien's eyes suddenly sharpened, and killing intent and determination ignited simultaneously.
"Okay." Tao Piaoran nodded gently, her expression more solemn than ever before. "Let's go."
The three of them trembled simultaneously, their auras instantly disappearing into the void, as they began to forcefully deduce and capture the true logical nodes of the formation from different directions.
Meanwhile, inside the formation, Qin Yu slowly raised his head.
For the first time, his gaze was truly icy cold.
It wasn't anger, nor anxiety, but an absolute calm that allowed no room for failure.
The instant Yun Qiusheng finished speaking, Qin Yu's Fate Soul suddenly trembled, and the Source-Cause Construct Heart fully unfolded.
His perception no longer remained on the "appearance of the formation," but directly penetrated into the causal structure at the very bottom of the formation.
The world suddenly turned upside down in his eyes.
The layers upon layers of sealing light curtains, restrictions, and logical folds were forcibly dismantled into countless intersecting causal threads at this moment.
Qin Yu's gaze suddenly froze there.
Deep within the formation, an inconspicuous dark node, yet constantly absorbing and releasing the primordial energy of chaos, floats steadily.
The core of the formation is neither the power core nor the defense core.
Rather, it is the sole fulcrum that maintains the "establishment" of the entire sealed boundary.
A cold glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.
Without any hesitation, he immediately turned his head and whispered to Jin Hanyan:
"Hanyan." "I found her."
Jin Hanyan's body tensed instantly, and her gaze locked onto the target.
Qin Yu raised his hand and directly transmitted the location, structure, and brief manifestation rhythm of the array's core into her perception without reservation through the vibration of his Fate Soul.
Then, speaking slowly and deliberately, his voice almost cruelly calm, he said, "Aim at the core of the formation. Break through with all your might."
Jin Hanyan didn't ask a single question, "Is it possible?"
She simply nodded, her eyes sharpening and becoming intensely clear in an instant. "Understood."
Almost simultaneously, outside the formation, Yun Qiusheng suddenly looked up, his pupils shrinking sharply.
He clearly sensed that the deeply hidden node deep within the sealed boundary had been forcibly locked.
It wasn't them who found it. Instead...
"Qin Yu has been found."
Yun Qiusheng gave a low shout, his speech suddenly accelerating:
"Quickly!" "You two!" "Now!" "Join forces to unleash the Ultimate divine power!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Chaos Origin within his body surged forth without reservation.
This was a forced tearing apart of the formation, both internally and externally, simultaneously.
It wasn't for victory, nor for a counterattack. It was to tear open a path for Qin Yu to escape.
