Qin Yu's arms tightened slightly.
He looked down at Jin Hanyan in his arms; her usually calm and sharp eyes now held a faint, lingering light of weakness.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her breathing was still a little disordered, but that extremely soft "Yu" was like a ray of light, directly piercing through all the taut strings in his heart.
His throat tightened slightly. "Yan'er... you're awake." His voice was soft, yet it suppressed emotions that were almost overflowing.
His eyes were red-rimmed, the bloodshot veins had not yet faded, and the sharpness and exhaustion from the battle still lingered between his brows.
But at this moment, all that sharpness vanished, leaving only a sense of relief and undisguised excitement, as if they had survived a calamity.
He almost wanted to laugh, yet it felt like he was about to burst into tears. In that instant, he truly realized how terrified he had just been.
He was afraid of losing her. He was afraid that her Fate Soul would completely disintegrate in his arms.
Jin Hanyan's fingertips twitched slightly, touching the edge of his shirt. Her breath was still weak, her chest rising and falling slowly, as if each breath required all her strength.
"Yu..." Her voice was even softer than before. "Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable... has Annihilation?"
As soon as those words were spoken, the air in the main hall seemed to freeze. Yun Qiusheng and Yun Yanwan looked up almost simultaneously.
The two had initially only guessed, only deduced, only vaguely suspected something was amiss.
But when Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable Jin Hanyan, " she did so with a tone of confirmation.
That means she witnessed it firsthand, experienced it personally, and perhaps even participated in it.
Yun Qiusheng's pupils suddenly contracted. His previous judgment was completely confirmed at this moment.
It's not some unknown powerful being. It's not an extraterrestrial variable. It's not a collapse of cause and effect. It's Qin Yu. It really is Qin Yu.
For a moment, only the faintest breathing could be heard in the main hall.
Qin Yu looked down at her in his arms, his expression so gentle that it was almost unbelievable that he had just Annihilation through Supreme the Realm Breaking of Nirvana.
"Hmm." His voice was extremely soft. "It's completely Annihilation now."
He said this without a trace of boasting or any sign of emotion.
It was as if it were simply a result that had to be achieved.
He raised his hand and gently brushed her hair, his tone softening even more.
"Yan'er, your Fate Soul has only just stabilized, don't speak yet." "Rest for a while."
Jin Hanyan looked at him, a barely perceptible hint of relief flashing in her eyes. She didn't press further, but simply closed her eyes gently.
She nestled in his arms, letting her breathing gradually even out. On the other side of the hall.
Yun Qiusheng slowly came back to his senses. He took a long breath.
He inhaled very slowly, as if digesting a fact that could overturn the entire Void Obliteration Domain's understanding.
"Oh dear..." He suddenly gave a bitter laugh, his tone carrying an undisguised shock and emotion.
"I should have known sooner." He looked at Qin Yu, his gaze complex.
"Only you, Qin Yu, have the potential to completely Annihilation Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable." "Now everything has been proven."
There was no longer any probing in that voice, only confirmation and shock. Yun Yanwan stood to the side, almost frozen in place.
He knew better than anyone what kind of being Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable, Realm Breaking Realm · Supreme, truly was.
That wasn't just a simple powerhouse. It was a terrifying being capable of suppressing cause and effect, Realm-Splitting Domain, and crushing those at the level of the Great Dao in the Realm of the Severed Thought Realm.
That was one of the true sources of calamity in the Void Obliteration Domain. And now—that being has been Annihilation by Qin Yu.
Completely vanished. No signs of recovery. No lingering causal trace. Not even a trace remained.
Yun Yanwan's apple bobbed. He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
He simply stared at Qin Yu. His gaze held both shock and awe.
There was even a hint of indescribable fear in him. He suddenly realized that the young man before him was no longer just a guest elder of the Chaos First Palace.
He is rising to a higher level with unstoppable momentum.
Even... standing beyond boundaries they had never touched before. And at this moment.
Qin Yu simply looked down at the person in his arms, gently holding her tighter. It was as if all the turmoil outside was irrelevant to him.
Inside the main hall, his breathing had not yet fully stabilized. Yun Qiusheng withdrew his gaze, his expression regaining some composure and calmness.
"Qin Yu." His voice trailed off slowly, carrying the concern and rational judgment of an elder.
"First, let Miss Hanyan rest on the bed for a while. She hasn't fully absorbed the Stainless Flowing Light yet; wait until the medicinal power is completely integrated into her Fate Soul."
"She will recover completely." Qin Yu looked down at the person in his arms.
He nodded. "Yan'er, let me carry you to bed first, so you can rest well."
Jin Hanyan nodded gently in his arms, her eyelashes drooping slightly. "Mmm." The response was very soft, yet incredibly reassuring.
The Qi Primordial Chaos Hall. Deep within the hall, starlight flows.
The entire palace was not made of ordinary materials, but was constructed by fusing the supreme origin of the Chaos First Palace with the Limitless Evolving True Flow.
The walls are like flowing jade, their surface seemingly warm and calm, but inside, a galaxy-like Limitless Evolving True Flow slowly moves.
Qin Yu stepped inside, his steps extremely steady. In the center of the hall, the bed floated in mid-air.
It was not made of wood or stone, but rather sculpted from a single piece of Limitless Evolving True Flow solidified crystal. The interior of the crystal resembled a myriad of interwoven galaxies, with black and silver hues intermingling with cosmic radiance.
It flows within, like a miniature multidimensional universe.
Each flow releases extremely pure Derivative Energy. That energy is gentle, yet profound.
It will not forcibly repair, but will nourish the Fate Soul, smooth out the traces of the Dao, and stabilize cause and effect with the most primal power.
Whether injured or uninjured, they lay on it.
The Fate Soul will receive the gentlest and purest nourishment within the embrace of the Limitless Evolving True Flow.
Qin Yu gently placed Jin Hanyan on the Yanzhen bed.
The instant her body touched the crystal surface—hum— the Limitless Evolving True Flow suddenly rippled.
Starry light patterns slowly emerged, gently enveloping her body.
A stream of black and silver energy rose like a thin mist, spreading from the soles of her feet to the center of her forehead, slowly merging into the not-yet-fully-healed cracks deep within her Fate Soul.
It was a repair visible to the naked eye. The faint crack in her Fate Soul between her brows was gradually healed under the nourishment of the Evolving True Flow.
It's like the Milky Way returning to its place, like the broken boundaries of the universe being gently stitched back together.
Qin Yu stood by the bed, gazing at her. Only after confirming that her breathing had completely stabilized did he raise his hand.
A buzzing sound emanated from his palm, revealing an extremely complex protective barrier. Layers of causal imprints overlapped within it.
Space was sealed off. Fate Soul were concealed. Qi was hidden. An almost transparent, invisible barrier instantly rose around the Qi Primordial Chaos Hall.
Unless Qin Yu activates it himself, no one can see even a fraction of it. He glanced at her one last time, then turned and left.
Inside the main hall, Yun Qiusheng and Yun Yanwan waited quietly as Qin Yu slowly entered.
His expression had returned to calm. Yun Qiusheng slowly spoke, "Qin Yu."
"The source of the calamity in the Void Obliteration Domain has now been completely Annihilation by you."
"Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable and Thought Severance Devouring Emperor disappeared simultaneously, and the causal shock has subsided."
He paused for a moment. "The Void Obliteration Domain has returned to its former tranquility." "What's next for you..." He didn't finish his sentence.
Qin Yu did not answer immediately. He lowered his eyes slightly and pondered for a moment.
In that instant, his aura was as calm as the deep sea. It was as if the future of the entire world was slowly unfolding in his thoughts.
After a few breaths, he looked up. "Ancestor, I haven't decided where to go next yet."
His voice was calm. "Let's wait for Hanyan to fully recover." There was not a trace of hesitation in his tone.
Yun Qiusheng nodded slightly. "Hmm." "Alright." He sighed softly.
"Now, the two sources of calamity Thought Severance Devouring Emperor and the Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable, have been completely Annihilation."
Of the five great temples of the past, only my temple and the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall remain.
"The restoration of order in the Void Obliteration Domain is imperative."
He looked up at Qin Yu. "Qin Yu, please take good care of Miss Hanyan."
"I am going to the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall to discuss with Qin Zhien the next steps for restoring order to the Void Obliteration Domain and arrangements for all parties."
"Don't worry." His gaze suddenly became extremely serious. "It's your matter."
"Only this old man and Yanwan know." "It is absolutely impossible for a third person to find out."
Yun Yanwan nodded emphatically. Qin Yu clasped his hands in a respectful gesture. "Thank you, Ancestor." "Respectfully seeing off Ancestor."
Yun Qiusheng flicked his sleeve, causing a slight tremor in the space around him.
An ancient, chaotic pattern unfolded beneath his feet, transforming into a circle of silver-black causal array.
The next instant, his figure vanished like a galaxy falling into an abyss.
The main hall fell silent again, leaving only Qin Yu and Yun Yanwan.
Yun Yanwan looked at him, her gaze complex. "Qin Yu..." He seemed to want to say something.
In the end, he simply bowed deeply. Qin Yu returned the bow, then turned and left.
Outside the Qi Primordial Chaos Hall, the night unfolded like a sea of stars. Qin Yu slowly walked into the hall.
Blue Ring — Xiao Yue, gently sat on his shoulder, swinging her little legs and stretching.
"Ouch..." she murmured. "Now, things should be quiet for a while, right?"
Qin Yu did not answer. He looked up at the starry sky, a subtle, profound look flashing in his eyes.
Because he knew that the disappearance of the source of the calamity was often not the end, but the beginning of a new game.
Deep within the Qi Primordial Chaos Hall, soft starlight Evolving True Flow flowed slowly between the crystal walls like a faint glow.
Jin Hanyan lay quietly on the Yanzhen Crystal Bed, her long hair cascading like an ink waterfall amidst the starlight patterns, the Limitless Evolving True Flow swirling around her, like a gentle sea of stars lifting her up.
Her breathing was steady. Faint traces of light still lingered deep within her Fate Soul, repairing it. Qin Yu sat beside the bed.
He didn't cultivate. He didn't close his eyes. He just quietly watched her.
That gaze lacked the sharpness that traversed the heavens, and the resolute determination of someone clashing with the Realm Breaking Realm.
He was gentle. He reached out and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, his movements so light as if he were afraid of disturbing the flow of her Fate Soul.
The night outside the palace was deep and dark. The starry sky was like a deep sea. At that moment, the Xiao Yue on my shoulder suddenly trembled slightly.
Her light blue eyes suddenly narrowed. Her expression changed from languid to extremely serious.
The next instant, a flash of blue light appeared. She vanished from Qin Yu's shoulder and reappeared in mid-air in front of him.
"Little Qinzi— " Qin Yu instantly raised his hand, putting his index finger to his lips. "Shh." He glanced at Jin Hanyan.
Then he gently got up and led Xiao Yue out of the Qi Primordial Chaos Hall.
The palace doors slowly closed. A gentle night breeze blew outside. The Limitless Evolving True Flow circulated on the palace ceiling, like a galaxy suspended in the air.
Qin Yu looked at her. "What's wrong, Xiao Yue?" Blue Ring's expression was extremely serious at this moment.
She wasn't being playful at all. "Little Qinzi." "I sensed it."
Qin Yu frowned slightly. "Sensed something?" The next moment, his divine sense suddenly jolted.
It was as if a long-forgotten name had been violently struck deep within his Fate Soul.
His eyes widened suddenly. "Xiao Yue... you mean—"
Blue Ring nodded slowly. "Mm." Her voice was very soft, but it carried an undeniable certainty.
"I know where Yan Yue is." Boom!
In that instant, Qin Yu's sea of consciousness seemed to be pierced by lightning, and countless fragments of memories exploded in his mind.
Yan Yue. That calm and gentle figure. The Fate Soul aura that was intertwined with his, yet suddenly vanished.
He stepped forward and almost instinctively grabbed Xiao Yue's shoulder. "Where?!"
A slight tremor ran through his voice. Blue Ring raised his hand and flicked his fingertips. Buzz
Space suddenly folded. But it wasn't an ordinary map; it was a vast landscape that defied description as "space."
Countless dimensions unfold like thin films. Billions of universes float like stardust. The star map is not flat.
Rather, it is a three-dimensional, multi-dimensional, and constantly self-expanding structure.
It resembles a "forest of existence" that is growing wildly.
Blue Ring's voice slowly rang out. "Source of Epochless · Upper Layer." "Second Star Domain." "------ Supreme Transformation Primordial Domain."
The scene suddenly zooms in. It's not a "place." It's a boundless torrent of creation.
Countless cosmic embryos surged within it. Each "point" was an unformed world core.
Dimensional singularities collide, explode, recombine, and then grow again—the primordial sea.
It was a chaotic ocean composed of "possibilities of existence." Seawater was not a liquid.
Rather, it is the most primitive concept of particles. Within each drop of seawater, a completely new physical law and spacetime framework are being nurtured.
The sea surges and crashes. With each wave, a new template for the rules of the universe is born.
Looking further into the distance, the stars and cosmic phenomena appear as endless cosmic singularities suspended like stars.
They don't emit light; they spew forth galaxies, planes, and worlds from nothingness.
The speed of the ejection exceeded the speed of light by billions of times. Countless galaxies poured out of the singularity like waterfalls, transforming into a torrent of the world.
Further in, at the Root of Laws, there are ancient trees reaching to the heavens.
Some are like endless mountain ranges spanning multiple dimensions. Others are like ancient rivers flowing through the void.
They are not symbols. They are real, existing "fundamental laws": gravity, time, causality, existence, logic...
Here, things are no longer abstract; they are tangible, climbable, and traversable.
What's most terrifying is the "property of the domain." This region is not static; it is expanding.
It's not just ordinary expansion. It's that every moment is a process of self-creation, self-growth, and self-expansion.
Its boundaries forever surge outward. Wherever it expands, nothingness is transformed into a new domain of space.
This is an "expanding infinity".
Blue Ring slowly said, "Miss Yan Yue is located within this Supreme Transformation Primordial Domain."
Qin Yu stared at the scene, his breathing slightly rapid. "What... is she doing there?"
Blue Ring shook her head. "I can only sense that her Fate Soul is in that star field."
"But it's strange." "She was the only one who didn't sense the Void Threshold Empress - Huayan. Perhaps I'm not qualified to sense Huayan."
However, it is certain that Yan Yue is in that star field. "Moreover, her current Fate Soul aura is extremely powerful, so powerful that even I cannot match it."
A night breeze swept by. Qin Yu's gaze gradually hardened. Source of Epochless · Upper Layer. Supreme Transformation Primordial Domain.
That is not a place that ordinary cultivators can set foot in. It is a place where the universe has not yet taken shape. It is the source of all worlds before they have differentiated.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head. "It seems," he said, "That it's time to leave the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer."
Blue Ring gently landed on his shoulder. "What about Miss Hanyan?"
Qin Yu did not answer immediately. His gaze fell on the Qi Primordial Chaos Hall in the distance. Hanyan had not yet fully recovered.
The order of the Void Obliteration Domain has not yet been rebuilt. And the Source of Epochless · Upper Layer... that will be a completely new level.
A brand new battlefield. His gaze slowly settled. "If we wait for Hanyan to fully recover, it will probably take some time."
"Tomorrow I will bring Hanyan back to the Annihilation Abyss Epoch, and it will be time for Hanyan to meet Ruishan and the others. Besides, only the Annihilation Abyss Epoch can put my mind at ease."
The voice was calm, yet as resolute and solemn as a hammer blow.
