Within the ancient forest, the space itself continued to tremble violently.
The destructive aftershocks of Gu Linfeng 'Fate Soul -destruction had not yet completely dissipated, and the scorching heat of his burning life force still lingered in the air. In the distance, the Boundless Realm Divine Sect's lines had almost collapsed, with only a handful of people remaining.
Qin Yu stood within the Butterfly Domain prison, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword resonating slightly in his palm.
His gaze had just passed over the spatial cage when he saw Gu Linfeng being completely obliterated by that palm strike.
Qin Yu's eyes suddenly darkened, but just as he was about to break through the Butterfly Domain and cross the battlefield...
Hua Feiting's voice fell coldly. "Qin Yu— " Her gaze locked onto him like ice. "Don't even think about saving him."
As soon as she finished speaking, her aura suddenly changed; it was no longer just the pressure of the Mystic Void Realm, but a more profound power.
Hua Feiting slowly raised her hands, and the wreath of butterflies floated in front of her palms. She gently closed her eyes.
The next moment—the world suddenly fell silent, as if the void had been touched by some invisible force.
Hua Feiting spoke softly. "Supernatural power." Flowers Bloom with a Single Thought her words fell, a transparent lotus flower suddenly appeared in the center of the void.
The lotus flower had no physical form, yet it truly existed. Its petals slowly unfolded, and countless points of light appeared on each petal.
Those points of light are moving like billions of stars, but if you look closely, you will find that each point of light contains a complete universe.
As galaxies rotate and nebulae are born, time flows, and countless illusory beings multiply and perish within them.
As the lotus gradually bloomed, the entire Butterfly Domain suddenly underwent a strange change, with countless timelines flowing within the patterns of the petals.
Each petal corresponds to a parallel universe, and Qin Yu's vision suddenly overlapped.
He saw countless versions of himself, some fighting, some dead, and some walking in another world.
Even the figures of mortals who had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation could be seen, and the fragrance of flowers wafted gently through the air.
That was no ordinary fragrance, but a ripple of law; every wisp of fragrance was rewriting time.
The entire Butterfly Domain seemed to transform into a projection of a multi-dimensional universe, Hua Feiting opened her eyes.
Her gaze was cold. "When the flowers bloom—" "Trillions of universes are born simultaneously." She gently raised her hand.
The lotus flower began to spin. "And when the flower withers—" "Cause and effect restart." Her voice suddenly turned icy.
"Within my flower realm," any attack—"will be diverted to countless parallel universes,""never able to reach the original body."
As the transparent lotus fully blooms, countless spatial passages appear between its petals, each connecting to a different universe.
If Qin Yu were to draw his sword, the sword light would be split into countless universes, and ultimately none of the attacks would be able to land on Hua Feiting.
This was a defense that was almost impossible to counter. However, Qin Yu did not draw his sword. He stood there quietly, his gaze slowly sweeping over the lotus flower.
He was neither misled by the illusions of parallel lives nor shocked by the countless cosmic projections; Qin Yu simply looked at the center of the petal.
After a moment, Qin Yu said softly, "I see." His eyes suddenly cleared. "Flowers Bloom with a Single Thought."
"It appears to be a projection of countless universes." "But the true core—" Qin Yu raised his sword. "is only one."
Hua Feiting's pupils suddenly contracted. Qin Yu had already seen through it; although this divine ability could divert attacks into countless parallel universes...
But those universes are just projections; the only causal source that truly sustains the entire structure is a single point of origin.
The source point was at the center of the lotus flower, so Qin Yu did not attack Hua Feiting.
Instead, he directly targeted the core of the lotus flower, and the next moment, he slowly raised the Silent Origin Stainless Sword.
The power of his Fate Soul began to circulate within him. Qin Yu uttered the name of his divine ability in a low voice, "Three Forms of Fate Construction," "Cause and Effect Deconstruction."
A pale silver light pattern suddenly appeared on the sword's edge. This light pattern was not power, but rather an analysis of the causal structure.
Qin Yu did not rush to draw his sword; he simply observed the lotus flower quietly. The light patterns rapidly deduced in the air, and the causal relationships between the lotus petals began to be analyzed.
One, two, three, and finally—the true lifeline of that lotus flower was locked down.
Qin Yu's sword slowly pointed towards the center. He did not attack rashly, but first built a defense.
With a tremor of the sword, a silver causal ring unfolded around him, isolating all temporal fluctuations that entered his vicinity.
The illusion of a parallel universe could not disturb his consciousness; Qin Yu steadied his breathing, his gaze icy.
A real counterattack could begin at any moment, and that's exactly what happened on the distant battlefield.
Ye Wuhen was already standing in a pool of blood, his body almost completely Blood Immersion, and the sword in his hand was trembling.
His Fate Soul began to burn, and golden flames rose from his body, a sign that his life was about to burn out.
Hua Jingmeng stood opposite, her killing intent palpable; the air between them seemed to freeze.
Ye Wuhen suddenly closed his eyes and then opened them again, using his last strength to send a telepathic message to Qin Yu.
His voice was hoarse. "Brother Qin..." "You go quickly." His gaze fell on Qin Yu, his eyes already prepared for death. "I'll hold them off..."
The world after the Butterfly Domain collapsed was still trembling. Spatial rifts hung in the air like torn wounds. The destructive aftershocks of Gu Linfeng 'Fate Soul self-destruction had not yet completely dissipated, and intense energy churned in the air, forming a sea of crimson-gold clouds. Qin Yu stood in the shattered void.
The Silent Origin Stainless Sword trembled slightly, but his gaze had already traversed the entire battlefield, landing on Ye Wuhen in the distance. At that moment, the Fate Soul flames on Ye Wuhen's body had fully ignited, golden flames surging wildly from his body, like a star about to fall burning its last breath.
Hua Jingmeng was closing in step by step, her purplish-black killing intent condensing into a dark cloud that seemed to collapse the sky.
Qin Yu's heart tightened suddenly. He realized almost instantly that if he had been a step later, Ye Wuhen would have been dead.
A thought flashed through his mind: Blue Ring Xiao Yue.
That was his true Ultimate card. As long as the Blue Ring appeared, the situation on this battlefield could be completely rewritten in an instant. Qin Yu's consciousness had almost touched the silent blue light and shadow deep in his sea of consciousness, but the next moment he forcibly suppressed the thought.
After all, Xiao Yue's supernatural powers were too strong, but now that we're on the upper level, we still need to be cautious. We absolutely cannot let Xiao Yue come out to help unless it's Flowers Bloom with a Single Thought. Qin Yu's eyes became calm and sharp again. He took a deep breath and his gaze fell once more on the transparent lotus flower floating in the center of the void—that was Hua Feiting power, "A Flower Blooms in a Thought."
At this moment, the lotus flower was still slowly rotating, with billions of universes flowing within its petals, and countless illusions of parallel universes overlapping together, as if the microcosm of the entire multidimensional universe was compressed into this flower field.
However, Qin Yu's divine sense had already penetrated those gorgeous and deceptive appearances. He clearly saw that in the deepest part of that trillion-dimensional projection of the universe, an extremely hidden causal thread was connecting the core of all the petals—the only source point of the entire supernatural structure.
Qin Yu did not hesitate any longer.
The Silent Origin Stainless Sword suddenly emitted a deep sword hum in his hand, and an extremely fine silver pattern appeared on its blade. It was not power, but the trajectory of a causal structure being analyzed. The instant the sword intent silently pierced the core of the lotus, the entire flower field suddenly trembled violently, and the starry sea within the petals began to crumble.
Countless projections of parallel universes collapsed like shattered mirrors, timelines fractured, nebulae shattered, and the illusion of trillions of universes disintegrated into countless specks of light at the same moment. The transparent lotus flower crumbled in mid-air, and a huge rift appeared in the space of the Butterfly Domain.
Hua Feiting's pupils suddenly contracted; before she could even react, Qin Yu had vanished.
In the next instant, a black afterimage tore through the spatial barrier of the battlefield, traversing hundreds of feet to appear in front of Ye Wuhen. Ye Wuhen had already burned his Fate Soul to prepare to perish together with Hua Jingmeng. He had just raised his sword when he suddenly saw Qin Yu's back blocking his way. At that moment, the world suddenly became unusually quiet.
Qin Yu slowly raised the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, his voice echoing softly between heaven and earth, like the oldest echo from the depths of the universe.
"In my name, I proclaim the One." "All things return to the state of non-cessation." "Zero point forever devours the source."
In the next instant, Qin Yu unleashed his divine power— Void Source · Dream Stillness. The world suddenly fell silent.
It wasn't just ordinary silence; it was a stillness so profound that even the laws of the universe seemed to cease functioning. The space around Qin Yu appeared to be forcibly expanded by an invisible force, with layers of absolute domains stacking and forming in an instant. The first domain Void Source Domain, descended, and all matter began to lose its physical form, as if the world were being dragged back to the origin of nothingness.
The second Realm of the Unborn unfolds, timeline halts at this moment, the future has not yet been born, and the past gradually fades; the third Domain of Annihilation covers heaven and earth, forcibly extinguishing all sound and energy; the fourth Cause and Effect Annihilation Domain descends.
The trajectory of fate snapped in the air, all causal chains turning into shattered rays of light; the fifth Concept Disintegration Domain finally descended, and even the concept of "existence" began to crumble.
The five realms converged in the air, and an extremely tiny point was born at the center of heaven and earth— the Existence Zero Point.
It had no light, no sound, and no form, yet it truly existed. In the next instant, countless Zero Point Offshoot spread out like ripples on water, and wherever they passed, space was not destroyed, but directly erased.
Past, present, future, cause and effect, memory, fate, soul records, and even the concepts of "existence" and "being killed" are all completely erased at the multidimensional root.
Hua Jingmeng stood in the center of that domain, his pupils suddenly contracting, because he clearly felt his past and future being erased, and the existence record deep within his Fate Soul beginning to collapse. It was not an ordinary attack, but the Ultimate Judgment on existence itself.
Hua Feiting was in the distance, suddenly changed her expression drastically.
She sensed in an instant that this divine power might not be able to kill Hua Jingmeng on the spot, but it would definitely severely damage his Fate Soul, and such an injury would never be able to be repaired.
Hua Feiting suddenly roared, "Qin Yu —how dare you!"
Her figure vanished instantly, reappearing beside Hua Jingmeng. As she formed hand seals, the void suddenly split open, revealing a bottomless black abyss that slowly unfolded between heaven and earth. The abyss was silent and devoid of light, yet it seemed as if some being was watching over all things.
The edge of the abyss continued to collapse, sucking in light, sound, and fragments of space, like a black waterfall flowing backwards.
Hua Feiting whispered the name of the supernatural power Return to the Ruins Tribulation.
The moment the abyss descended, countless fine black lines appeared on Hua Jingmeng's body. These were the traces of her memories, emotions, and causality being extracted. The power of the Return to the Ruins did not destroy the physical body, but devoured everything that "exists" and "Does Not Exist," until even the concept of "who I am" was completely erased.
The Void Source, the Dream Stillness, and the Return to the Ruins Tribulation.
Two completely different yet equally terrifying forces collided head-on in mid-air.
The ripples at the Existence Zero Point crashed into the abyss of Return to the Ruins, and the annihilation of cause and effect and the devouring of memories erupted simultaneously. At that moment, the world seemed to be torn open with an unhealable rift.
The next instant, a deafening roar that shattered the heavens erupted.
Space collapsed, the sky was torn open with huge cracks, and the entire Butterfly Domain completely collapsed at this moment. The destructive shockwave swept across the battlefield, and Qin Yu, Hua Jingmeng, Hua Feiting and Ye Wuhen were all blown away at the same time. Like meteors being thrown out, they flew hundreds of feet backward and crashed heavily into the broken earth in the distance.
The world fell silent once more. Dust settled slowly. After this attack, the atmosphere of the entire battlefield had been completely altered.
The aftershocks of the great battle still echoed between heaven and earth. The spatial rift left by the clash between Void Source · Dream Stillness and Return to the Ruins Tribulation hung in the air like a torn wound in the sky, and the shattered laws fell slowly like fragments of a burnt-out meteor. The four figures fell into the ruins hundreds of feet away, and the earth was blasted into a huge, bottomless crater by the shock wave, with dust filling the air.
Hua Jingmeng was the first to prop herself up from the ruins.
His chest heaved violently, and a mouthful of blood suddenly gushed from the corner of his mouth. This blood was no ordinary blood, but rather the essence of his Fate Soul mixed with a faint black aura; the moment it hit the ground, it instantly evaporated into nothingness. His face was frighteningly pale, and the eerie aura left behind by Void Source Dream Stillness still lingered deep within his Fate Soul.
It was an inescapable emptiness, as if a piece of his past, future, and destiny had been torn away.
Hua Jingmeng slowly raised her head, and for the first time, genuine killing intent and fear appeared in her eyes.
He stared intently at Qin Yu, who was rising from the ruins in the distance, his voice hoarse and icy. "Qin Yu... you will die today."
His words were practically squeezed out from between his teeth.
However, just as he was about to channel his power again, Hua Feiting had already stepped to his side. Her gaze was extremely calm, and her hand gently pressed on Hua Jingmeng's shoulder, instantly suppressing his rampaging Fate Soul fluctuations with an aura of the Mystic Void Realm.
"Heal your wounds first." Her voice was very low, but it left no room for argument.
Hua Feiting's gaze swept across the battlefield and landed on Qin Yu, a hint of genuine fear appearing in the depths of her eyes for the first time.
"Qin Yu is too strange," she said slowly. "His supernatural abilities... have already surpassed his level."
She paused for a moment, her voice growing even colder. "If it weren't for the suppression of my cultivation level, that attack just now would have been enough to Annihilation you."
Hua Jingmeng's face immediately turned even more unpleasant. At the same time, Qin Yu, who was in the distance, slowly stood up.
His robes were torn, and black cracks left by the Return to the Ruins Tribulation remained on his chest. His blood and qi surged within him, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. The blood turned into a faint silver light and dissipated when it hit the ground.
Qin Yu raised his head, his gaze still calm, but the air began to feel heavy. Hua Feiting looked at him, and the anger in her eyes finally ignited completely.
At this moment, she was completely enraged. She, a powerful Mystic Void Realm expert and the true core figure of the Hua Lineage, had been forced to such a state by a Realm Breaking Realm cultivator.
Without further hesitation or suppression of her power, Hua Feiting slowly took a step forward. The space of the entire battlefield suddenly began to distort, as if heaven and earth themselves were fearing the power that was about to descend.
Her voice echoed coldly in the void. "Qin Yu." "I never thought I'd be forced to this point by a mere Realm Breaking Realm cultivator like you." She raised her hand, and the world suddenly darkened. "Today I'll show you—" "What happens when you provoke the Hua Lineage." The instant her words fell, she unleashed her Ultimate divine power.
In the Primordial Origin Chapter, a silent crack suddenly appeared in the void, and then an ancient and illusory book slowly emerged from the crack.
The book wasn't huge, yet it made the entire world seem weightless; its pages were white, without words or pictures, yet they seemed to bear the weight of the origin of all history.
The pages of the book slowly turned, and as the first page opened, time seemed to flow backward.
The shattered mountains and rivers reassembled in the air, the spatial rifts that had just broken open slowly healed, and the mountains on the ground that had been destroyed in the battle began to return to their original state.
As the second page is turned, the stars are reversed, and the long-extinguished starlight in the sky reignites, as if the universe is being born in reverse time.
As the third page is turned, countless phantom images of departed lives reappear in the air, Gu Linfeng's burning Fate Soul flashes by in the distant void, as if history is being rewritten.
As the fourth page is turned, time has rewound to before the birth of the universe, when only a hazy chaos remained between heaven and earth. And then the last page is slowly turned.
The whole world seemed to have returned to its most primitive state, before chaos and creation Unborn, leaving only a primordial realm yet to be born.
In the center of that chaos, Qin Yu and Ye Wuhen appeared incredibly small, Hua Feiting's voice slowly emanated from the Wordless Heavenly Book.
"Before the beginning." "All worlds can be reduced to zero." With a gentle downward press of her finger, the ancient book suddenly transformed into a chaotic torrent, pouring down from the sky.
The entire world seemed to be rewritten as if it had never been born. In the distance, Qin Yu suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood. The pressure of the Primordial Origin Chapter far surpassed all the supernatural powers from before.
He gripped the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, his internal energy rapidly circulating, clearly preparing to unleash his supernatural powers for defense and counterattack. However, at this critical moment...
A cold shout suddenly came from the ends of the earth. The voice was not loud, but it carried a majesty that transcended all laws.
"Insolence!" In the next instant, an extremely domineering divine power swept across the distant sky; it was a beam of pure light.
But it was like a divine spear piercing through heaven and earth, its light instantly tearing through chaos, boom--
The chaotic torrent condensed by the Primordial Origin Chapter was directly pierced through by this attack, and the illusory ancient book instantly shattered, its pages disintegrating into countless white dust particles in the air.
The entire Primordial Realm collapsed with a roar. Hua Feiting's expression changed drastically. She looked up at the sky and a name flashed through her mind.
"Not good..." "It's Chi Ninghua!" Her pupils contracted slightly. At this moment, she realized that there was no chance of winning if they continued fighting.
Without any hesitation, Hua Feiting grabbed Hua Jingmeng and with her other hand suddenly tore open space, creating a black rift in the void. The two figures instantly vanished into it.
In the final instant before the space closed Hua Feiting's icy voice echoed from the crack. "Qin Yu." "From now on—" "You won't survive in the Skeleton Star Sea."
As soon as he finished speaking, the space closed completely, and the battlefield returned to silence, leaving only Qin Yu and Ye Wuhen standing on the shattered earth.
A figure was slowly descending from the distant horizon.
