Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable's voice was as cold as an abyss frozen for eternity. "Alright, you've wasted too much of my time."
He raised his hand. The heavens and earth ceased to tremble; instead, they began to be "erased." "Finally broken— Myriad Forms Return to Nothingness."
There was no light, no oppressive aura, and not even a "activation" process.
The spatial boundaries of the Nine Nether Prison Abyss began to become transparent, not shattered, but rather losing the qualification to be "called existence." Purgatory, time, space, causal lines, conceptual layers.
They were all forcibly pulled into the same Ultimate fixed form. Then, that fixed form was shattered. The ground beneath Qin Yu's feet disappeared first.
It wasn't a collapse. It was the concept of "earth" being stripped away. His body began to become ethereal, and the edges of his soul drifted away like dust.
The Ultimate supernatural power of Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable disregards realms, origins, and rules.
It wasn't an attack. It was the stripping away of "the right to exist." Qin Yu's memories began to be extracted.
The eras he had traversed, the powerful enemies he had slain, and the vows he had made—all had been reduced to fragments of a fixed image.
Fragments appeared in the air. Billions of images floated in mid-air, then shattered. Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable's gaze remained indifferent.
"Return to nothingness." As that word fell, the world fell into absolute silence. It wasn't the disappearance of sound; it was the emptying of "existence."
Qin Yu's figure began to fade. He was on the verge of death; his soul had reached its Limit.
The chasm between the Realm Breaking Realm and the Severed Thought Realm was, at this moment, like an insurmountable chasm.
However, just as Qin Yu's existence was about to be erased, deep within his sea of consciousness, boom—!!!
Like the first explosion at the beginning of the universe. The sea of consciousness cracks open. It's not a collapse, it's an awakening.
Azure Ring stood in the center of her sea of consciousness.
That petite figure, barely ten centimeters tall, suddenly had her long, dark blue hair shimmer with a deep blue light. The strands of hair flowed like a galaxy ignited in the night sky.
The translucent blue flames at the ends of her hair completely transformed into deep blue starlight. The thin chain on her ankle snapped. The cracked remnant bell hung in mid-air.
The bell tolled—for the first time, truly resounding. A resounding boom echoed.
Qin Yu's sea of consciousness shattered completely.
The ten layers of dark azure soul wheels suddenly unfolded, instantly tinged with azure light, transforming into blue star rings that swirled layer upon layer behind her.
The Azure Ring's pupils changed from light Azure Ring to pure deep blue. The pupils disappeared, leaving only swirling, Annihilation Pattern.
Her dark blue dress transformed completely into a starry blue gown, its hem composed of countless fragments of starlight, shimmering with every step. A blue square crystal appeared on her chest, like the core of the universe.
A petite figure slowly stepped into the air. The destructive power of the Nine Nether Prison Abyss began to stagnate. For the first time, Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable revealed a genuine sense of solemnity. "... What's going on... what is that?"
Blue Ring looked up. Her petite and lovely face remained completely expressionless. She reached out her hand.
With a gentle flick of the finger, there was no loud noise, no vibration.
Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable's ultimate breaking - Myriad Forms Return to Nothingness supernatural power field cracked directly, like glass being gently broken.
The fixed-phase structure crumbled layer by layer. The logic of Ultimate Annihilation was extracted. The core operation of Myriad Forms Return to Nothingness was forcibly frozen.
The blue soul wheel spun. The Ultimate power of the Realm Breaking Realm shattered into countless fragments within the blue glow.
Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable's pupils constricted sharply. "What kind of power is this—"
Blue Ring did not answer. Her petite figure landed in front of Qin Yu.
She raised her hand. Blue starlight fell from her palm, and ten layers of blue soul wheels slowly covered Qin Yu's shattered soul.
She used her healing powers silently and without a trace to steadily lift Qin Yu's collapsing Fate Soul.
The shattered imprints of the Great Dao began to reform. The cracks in the soul were mended by blue starlight. The frequency of the Fate Soul gradually stabilized.
Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was...
Blue Ring stood before him. Petite and adorable, yet she exuded an indescribable aura of power.
She glanced at Qin Yu, her voice clear yet calm. "Little Qinzi, leave the rest to me. You should rest and recover first."
Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable took a half step back. For the first time, he truly felt threatened. The space of the first level of the Nine Nether Prison Abyss began to tremble.
A blue soul wheel floated between heaven and earth. Deep within the ninth level of the Nine Nether Prison Abyss, the lingering power of Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable's Realm Breaking might still remained in the void, and crack-like black lines slowly spread across the surface of space.
It was as if the world's skin had been torn open and had not yet healed, and beneath that shattered sky, a petite blue figure stood silently suspended.
She was no bigger than the palm of a hand, with blue hair falling to her shoulders like a starry river under the moonlight, and a faint blue light flowing through her hair. A crescent moon floated quietly in the center of her forehead, and a slowly rotating blue halo appeared around her. The runes on the halo were like the rhythm of the universe at its birth, cold and pure.
Her eyes were so clear they were almost Emptiness, as if they reflected no emotion, yet they also reflected the causal patterns of the entire Nine Nether Prison Abyss.
She glanced down at Qin Yu, who was covered in wounds and recuperating, then looked up and her gaze fell on Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable. Her voice was not loud, but it was as clear as an echo striking the very bones of the world in this nine-layered purgatory.
"You've hurt my Little Qinzi so badly," her voice was as gentle as the wind, "Now, I'll let you taste what it's like to be gradually broken down."
Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable's pupils suddenly contracted.
His perception, which had spanned countless epochs, was now as if severed—he could not sense the fluctuations of the Fate Soul, the cultivation level, or even the "attribute of existence."
The little blue girl in his consciousness neither existed nor did she exist; she seemed to exist outside of any logical framework.
That's not "hiding," not "transcending," but rather being completely undefined.
For the first time, he truly panicked. "You... what... are you?" His voice was low, yet trembled uncontrollably.
Blue Ring did not answer.
Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable almost instinctively took a step back, then suddenly tore apart the void beside him, the power of Realm Breaking cleaving through layers of spatial barriers like a blade.
The black rift suddenly opened, drawing in billions of stardust. Space collapsed into a vortex, and he turned to try and escape into it.
He wanted to escape. Not to fight, but to flee. The instant he stepped halfway into the crevice—
A very faint chime suddenly echoed from the void. "Ding--"
A cyan chain extended from the depths of the void. Azure Ring. Although she had transformed into Blue Ring, all of Azure Ring's supernatural powers remained.
The chains, as thin as hair, were precisely wrapped around the Fate Soul trajectory of Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable.
Azure Ring, Second Form: Realm-Severing Silent Light. A sudden burst of azure light flashed. The spatial rift that had already been torn open was severed from the "structural core".
It's not about blocking; it's about "severing the boundary." Space itself is severed from existence. The rift disappears instantly.
Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable was forcibly dragged back to his original position. He roared, and the Realm Breaking flames exploded like a torrent, attempting to burn away the chains.
Blue Ring slowly raised her hand. Azure Ring, Fourth Form: Realm Abyss Reverse Evolution. The Realm Breaking flames that had just erupted were actually reversed from the "result" to the "beginning".
The burning process of the flames was Reverse Derivation to the initial thought. Before the thought was complete, the flames dissipated on their own.
Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable's pupils contracted sharply. "You—" Before he could finish speaking...
Azure Ring, First Form: Spirit Edge Piercing the Realm. A streak of azure light flashes in the void. It does not attack the physical body.
Instead, it slashed at his "cognitive coordinates." Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable's consciousness space suddenly trembled.
His self-perception was briefly misaligned. Just for a moment, but enough.
The Blue Ring moved. There was no imposing aura, no oppressive force, no energy fluctuation; it simply raised its hand.
Blue Ring, First Form: Sever Thought and Extinguish Consciousness. The world suddenly fell into complete silence.
It's not that the sound disappeared; rather, the "thought generation mechanism" was suspended.
Deep within the sea of Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable, the raging fire of his consciousness source was quietly locked by a pale blue halo.
The halo slowly contracted. He wanted to activate his supernatural powers, but the thought didn't arise.
Then he perished. He wanted to resist. The intention to resist vanished before it even formed.
He tried to enter a state of "Does Not Exist" to circumvent it. The concept of "Does Not Exist" was immediately denied. The blue light suddenly condensed into an extremely small point.
A deep, resonant sound pierced his consciousness. His pupils instantly went vacant.
The Realm God lost its core support, causing the heavens and earth to tremble violently.
The ninth level of the Nine Nether Prison Abyss began to collapse, countless spatial wounds appeared in the sky, black and red energy surged wildly, and billions of pieces of debris were swept into the sky.
The spatial structure shattered layer by layer. Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable's body remained standing in place, but that was merely "inertia." His source fire of consciousness had been extinguished.
His "initial node of self-awareness" was deleted. There was no pain. There was no fear, because the mechanisms that generate "pain" and "fear" Does Not Exist.
His body began to disintegrate. Not by explosion. Not by energy transformation.
Instead, it was as if it were being erased by an eraser, inch by inch, starting from the Fate Soul Nucleus.
His memories spanning billions of epochs, his foundation for Realm Breaking, his anchor point for reincarnation, and his coordinates for resurrection were forcibly dragged out of the river of cause and effect, and hung nakedly in the void.
With a gentle clench of her small Blue Ring hand, the halo completely shrank into a single point—annihilating all those backup plans.
All signs of resurrection. All backups hidden deep within the cracks of time. All annihilated.
No afterimages. No fragments. No trace of "having ever existed." The ninth level of the Nine Nether Prison Abyss was utterly silent. It was as if the name Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable had never existed.
Blue Ring withdrew her gaze, her blue halo gently spinning. She turned and flew towards Qin Yu, waving her small hand, and soft blue light fell like a fine rain.
It gently covered the cracks in his Fate Soul. It wasn't healing energy, but rather a "source fire replacement" that reignited the foundation of his consciousness, steadily supporting his soul that was on the verge of extinction.
Qin Yu's breathing gradually became steady. Blue Ring gently landed on his shoulder, her voice much softer than before.
"Hmph, daring to bully my Little Qinzi, this is what happens." The Nine Nether Prison Abyss fell into complete silence.
The aftershocks of the storm in the Nine Nether Prison Abyss were still churning in the distance, but this core battlefield was unusually quiet.
The shattered boundary slowly healed, and the remaining energy dust drifted in the air like stardust. Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes, a dull, tearing pain still lingering in his chest.
He was no longer on the verge of death. His Fate Soul burned steadily, and that blue radiance, like a gentle night sea, softly smoothed out all the cracks.
His shoulders slumped slightly.
The petite blue figure stood on his shoulder, hands on her hips, her skirt flowing like a star map, her hair floating gently in the air. A crescent moon on her forehead glowed softly.
The Blue Ring behind him rotated slowly, emanating a gentle yet unfathomable aura.
Qin Yu stared at her for a long time, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
"Azure Ring... oh, no," he paused deliberately, "It should be called Blue Ring now."
The small figure immediately puffed out her cheeks, crossed her arms over her chest, and narrowed her blue eyes slightly.
"Ugh, 'Blue Ring' sounds awful. It sounds like some kind of magical artifact." She scoffed. "Change it, change it."
Qin Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. This laugh somewhat eased the heaviness of the life-or-death battle he had just fought.
He reached out and gently lifted her up, letting her stand in his palm.
Up close, her eyes are like the brightest star in the night sky, a pure blue, yet with a touch of childlike pride.
Qin Yu pondered for a moment, then his gaze softened. "Then I'll call you... Xiao Yue."
Blue Ring was taken aback. "Xiao Yue?"
"Hmm." Qin Yu nodded gently. "The crescent moon on your forehead is brighter than the entire Nine Nether Prison Abyss. Just now, when I was almost wiped out, you pulled me back."
You are like the moon hanging in the night, unassuming, yet able to illuminate the darkest places.
His tone was unusually gentle, "Xiao Yue, how are you?" The petite figure froze for two seconds.
Then a faint blue glow appeared on her cheeks, like starlight gently spreading.
She gave a dismissive hum and turned her head away. "Barely... alright, I guess."
But the next moment, she quietly shifted her position, sitting on Qin Yu's shoulder closer to his neck, like a quiet kitten.
"From now on, just call me Xiao Yue." Her voice was soft, but it carried a hint of undisguised joy.
Qin Yu chuckled. The chilling winds of the Nine Nether Prison Abyss echoed in the distance, but at this moment, a small moon rested on his shoulder.
