The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix slowly raised its head, its pupils one red and one black, and the double rings of flame behind it suddenly expanded.
The next instant, the entire Eternal Silence Return to the Ruins seemed to be lifted up by an invisible giant hand.
The black and red flames and the crimson and orange stellar cores exploded simultaneously, tearing the sky apart with light, making space look like a curtain that had been burned through.
The churning abyss of destruction beneath was revealed. The ground collapsed into a swirling vortex of starlight, the sky reversed, and time, like liquid metal, dripped down in threads, emitting a low hum.
The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix spread its arms, and the halo behind it spun to its Ultimate.
"Star-Devouring Battle Physique - Limit Domain"
Boom! The entire restricted area was rewritten. Heaven and earth were no longer heaven and earth.
Above, a broken red star hangs, and below, a sea of black and red fire stretches out. Space is stretched into countless intersecting planes, overlapping, misaligning, and breaking, like a cosmic scroll that has been cut up and forcibly pieced back together.
The ground beneath Qin Yu's feet transformed into a transparent crystalline layer, beneath which countless fragments of time floated, each reflecting a different version of him aging, burning, disintegrating, and fading away.
The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix spoke softly, "Eternity in an Instant."
It flapped its wings. A dark golden, fiery feather slowly fell off.
The trajectory of the falling feathers seemed to be stretched into countless timelines, and wherever the light passed, space emitted a shattering sound like the tolling of an ancient bell.
The moment the feather touched Qin Yu's shoulder, time collapsed.
Countless overlapping clock phantoms appeared around Qin Yu.
The second hand spun wildly backward. The hour hand broke off. The minute hand turned to ashes.
His physical body began to experience countless forms of destruction in a single "moment".
Skin ages instantly, turning to ashes, only to be torn into particles by quantum mechanics in the next frame; bones transform into transparent crystals, only to be twisted into impossible structures by logical paradoxes.
The sea of consciousness seemed to be thrown into an endlessly looping universe, where World Creation and destruction exploded alternately in the same thought.
Subjectivity is eternal; objectivity is fleeting.
The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix said coldly, "You will reach the end of everything in this instant."
However, just before the feathers completely settled...
Qin Yu opened his eyes. He wasn't flustered. He didn't retreat; instead, he took a step forward. "Three Forms of Fate Construction, Time Flow Reversal."
The sword sweeps across, not slicing feathers.
Instead, it reverses the timeline from which it fell, forcibly tracing back to the origin point "before it was compressed into a moment".
The timeline oscillated. Countless clock phantoms froze for a moment.
Qin Yu's second sword strike followed immediately. "The Silent Origin Stainless Sword, the Causeless Disillusionment Sword."
The sword light wasn't an explosion, but rather a stripping away.
He directly severed the logical connection between "infinite destruction" and "momentary vessel," extracting the compressed "eternal calamity."
The dark gold feather suddenly split open in mid-air.
The endless stream of destructive information, like a torrent without an anchor, surged back into the Star-Devouring Domain itself.
The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix's pupils suddenly contracted. "You—"
Qin Yu has already stepped into the core of the domain. He is betting that the opponent's fusion is not yet stable.
The dual flame rings were still oscillating slightly. He didn't give them time to adjust. "Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence - Master Book Seal Severance - Naming Reconstruction."
The sword light transformed into an invisible mark, directly rewriting the naming rights of the "Star-Devouring Battle Physique".
For the first time, the aura of the Forbidden Demonic Phoenix became disordered.
The red-orange stellar origin and the black-red Principle-Extinguishing Origin collide violently within it.
The area began to flicker. The spatial plane fractured.
The red star's luminous core flickered.
The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix let out a suppressed roar. "You forcibly severed me into a chain?!"
Qin Yu's swordplay continued. "Three Forms of Fate Construction, Existence Erasure."
He did not erase the Demonic Phoenix's main body, but rather the sub-core of the star that had not yet fully fused.
A thin, hair-like sword mark appeared.
The crimson-orange light core suddenly exploded, Star-Devouring Battle Physique into disarray.
The black and red forbidden flames and the crimson primordial energy repel each other.
The area trembled violently. The phantom of the star began to collapse.
A deafening sound, like metal being torn apart, echoed through the air.
The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix suddenly raised its head, and countless cracks of light and flame appeared on its body.
The conflict between the annihilation principle and the stellar origin spiraled out of control, forming a destructive storm interwoven with black and red and crimson hues.
The Eternal Silence Return to the Ruins began to crumble. The ground collapsed, the sky tore apart, and space itself became displaced.
A massive black hole-like crack appeared at the edge of the restricted area in the distance.
The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix's voice became hoarse and frantic:
You actually forced me to lose my balance?!
Its pupils turned completely black. Reason vanished.
The Principle-Extinguishing Origin began to indiscriminately spill over, causing utter chaos on the battlefield.
Fragments of a crimson star exploded in a sea of black and red fire, creating unpredictable waves of destruction. Space was thrown into a shredder, and turbulent fragments of time swept in all directions.
Qin Yu was forced back dozens of steps, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his lips. He was slightly injured, but he managed to stay upright.
He looked up at the rampaging Forbidden Demonic Phoenix.
The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix stopped roaring. It suddenly fell silent. That silence was more terrifying than its rage.
The black and red flames slowly receded to its surface, while fragments of crimson and orange starlight swirled into a miniature star ring deep within its cracked chest. Its pupils were completely devoid of emotion, displaying only pure judgment.
"Very good." Its voice was deep, like a collapsing star core. "You've made me serious."
The next instant, its wings suddenly unfurled. Not vibrating the air, but tearing apart the "dimensional layer."
Laugh--!!
The space above the battlefield appeared as if an invisible blade had sliced open a rift diagonally across the sky. Within the rift was not emptiness, but rather layers upon layers of transparent dimensional structures.
A strange boundary layer where geometry intersects, concepts overlap, and non-logical constructs are mutually exclusive.
Something of a higher dimension was being forcibly dragged in. It was not life, not a living being, but a remnant of some kind of "incomplete existence" from another dimension.
The invisible outline is like a huge abstract creature, its surface flowing with indefinable symbolic structures. It has no front and no back, like a cluster of conformational entropy that is devouring each other.
The Eternal Silence Return to the Ruins trembled. The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix raised its hand. "Swallow." The black and red forbidden flames instantly transformed into a reverse vortex.
The remnant of the higher dimension emitted an inaudible yet chilling vibration as it began to be forcibly dragged, torn apart, and compressed.
Space was distorted to its Limit. The dimensional structure collapsed. That unknown entity was torn into fragments of light and forcibly absorbed into the body of the Forbidden Demonic Phoenix.
The crimson-orange star's core shone brightly once more. The black-red annihilation flames expanded again. Its aura surged. The Star-Devouring Battle Physique was once again complete.
It was even stronger than before. Qin Yu's eyes suddenly turned cold. It wasn't a call for backup.
It was devouring dimensional remnants to strengthen its own legitimacy. The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix looked down at him, its voice low and hoarse. "This is truly forbidden."
It raised its hand. Space began to automatically bend and collapse towards it. The Eternal Silence Return to the Ruins of the origin was forced to cooperate.
The entire battlefield collapsed inward, trapping Qin Yu in the center of the domain.
The next blow would be annihilation. Qin Yu did not retreat. He closed his eyes for a moment. Deep within his Fate Soul, the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram suddenly activated.
With this strike, he risked his life. "Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence," his voice was low. "Final Order Interrogation: World Silent Judgment."
The sword slowly rose. This strike was not aimed at the Demonic Phoenix's true form, but at the dimensional remnant it had "just devoured."
He directly questioned the legitimacy of its establishment.
The sword light transformed into an invisible judgment mark, traversing space, piercing through the black and red flames, and reaching the high-dimensional fragments within the Demonic Phoenix's body that were not yet fully digested.
"Did you swallow something that exists in this world?" The sword fell. Boom!
A chaotic tremor suddenly erupted within the Forbidden Demonic Phoenix's body. That high-dimensional remnant was inherently mutually exclusive with the structure of this world.
It had not yet fully integrated after being forcibly devoured. Qin Yu's sword strike was equivalent to igniting incompatible conflicts within its body.
The Principle-Extinguishing Origin and the fundamental principles of stars are not yet fully stable; now, incompatible structures of higher-dimensional remnants are superimposed upon them.
Unbalanced. Utterly unbalanced. The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix suddenly froze. Cracks of light burst from its chest cavity.
Black and red light clashed violently with crimson and orange light. Dimensional fragments tore apart in reverse within the body. "Humanity..."
Its first sound was one of pain. Countless cracks appeared on its body. The attempt to devour had failed.
The high-dimensional remnants were not completely absorbed; instead, they exploded within the body.
The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix let out a piercing scream that tore through the heavens and earth. Rumble--!!! The domain collapsed.
The star's core exploded. The flames of destruction reversed. Its body was blasted hundreds of feet away and crashed heavily into the core fissure of Eternal Silence Return to the Ruins.
The earth shattered. Black and red flames spilled out uncontrollably. A huge, charred wound was torn open on its right wing.
His aura plummeted. Severely injured, Qin Yu landed on one knee, his breathing heavy. This sword strike had taken a tremendous toll, but he had succeeded.
The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix slowly rose from the ruins. For the first time, its gaze was no longer arrogant.
The dust and smoke from the collapse of Eternal Silence Return to the Ruins had not yet settled. The cracks in the Forbidden Demonic Phoenix's chest cavity were still seeping molten flames that were a mixture of black, red, and crimson.
Qin Yu gave it no chance to catch its breath. He stomped his foot. The ground wasn't crushed, but rather "ignored."
His figure vanished into the space, only to suddenly reappear before the Demonic Phoenix, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword hanging upside down in his hand.
Deep within the Fate Soul, the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram suddenly unfolded completely.
He spoke softly, "Boundless Return to the Abyss." Suddenly, heaven and earth fell silent. "The Annihilation Other Shore."
There was no light. No Sword Qi. No visible energy fluctuations.
It was just an extremely tiny, yet infinitely large, ring that slowly took shape in nothingness.
It exists neither in space, nor in time, nor within the chain of cause and effect; it seems to rise from outside the narrative.
Like the ashes of a final chapter after it has been burned to ashes, it is reforged into the unique "Ring of the End".
As soon as the ring was formed, the air in the Eternal Silence Return to the Ruins instantly became thinner. It wasn't drawn away, but rather regarded as the False Soul Chain Heart.
Everything reflected in the light began to turn slightly white: the ground, the space, the cracks, the flames, and even the Forbidden Demonic Phoenix itself.
Its body became slightly transparent, like a record of its existence being deleted.
The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix's pupils suddenly contracted. For the first time, it truly felt fear. "This is..." Before it could finish speaking, the ring fell silently.
There was no collision. No explosion. Just a gentle reflection. The black and red flames began to break apart. The pulsation of the star's light core became blank.
Its "Principle-Extinguishing Origin" and "Origin of Stars" were simultaneously marked as pseudo-chains. The next instant, its right wing vanished silently.
It wasn't a break. It wasn't annihilation. It was never meant to exist. The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix let out an extremely distorted shriek.
It finally understood. This attack wasn't a strike; it was deprivation. Deprivation of the right to exist. "Since that's how it is..."
Reason vanished completely from its eyes. Black and red flames exploded simultaneously with crimson and orange flames.
It roared with laughter, "Then let's end it all together!" Boom!!!!!! Boom!!!!!!
All the fundamental elements within it ignite simultaneously in opposite directions. The Principle-Extinguishing Origin, the stellar source, and the devoured remnant structure are all forcibly compressed into a single point.
Space was stretched into a spiral. Timeline twisted into broken fragments. Its wings suddenly spread open, and black and red flames transformed into a destructive storm that pierced through heaven and earth.
"Forbidden Final Form" "All Things Burn Back to Ashes, All Realms Annihilate and Perish Together!"
The world instantly entered an apocalyptic state. The ground rose into the air, the layers flipped and shattered, and dimensions curled up and turned black like a canvas that had been set on fire.
Countless spatial structures were dragged into its destructive core. It was about to self-destruct. Not in a simple explosion.
Instead, it uses itself as the Origin Destroyer, dragging Eternal Silence Return to the Ruins, Qin Yu, and itself into a zero-based collapse that leads to mutual destruction.
The core of destruction expanded wildly. The ring collided head-on with the core of destruction. There was no sound. Only absolute silence. Then...
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The world was in complete chaos.
Black and red, along with an invisible ring of destruction, intertwined in the air to form a spiral of destruction. Space shattered into countless transparent fragments.
A stellar flame shot into the sky. A destructive storm whipped up a dust storm thousands of feet high. Qin Yu was thrown back, his robes torn, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
But he did not retreat. The ring continued to press down. The Forbidden Demonic Phoenix's body was crumbling.
The destructible core is also eroding the edge of the ring in the opposite direction. This is a clash of Limit. This is the edge of mutual destruction. Heaven and earth lose their focus. The battlefield enters a state of incandescence.
