Within the void of the Inverted Mountains, the energy of heaven and earth was no longer stable. The demon king, transformed from the Ancient God Clan cultivator, hovered above the void, its black bone wings obscuring a large portion of the sky. Thick, sea-like demonic energy surged around it, and this demonic energy was not simply evil power.
Rather, it is an extremely distorted source of logic, like another rule born from outside of order, constantly eroding the original legal structure of heaven and earth.
Qin Yu stood quietly in the air, his gaze slightly narrowed. He had already sensed that it was more than just an improvement in cultivation level.
After consuming that strange Dao Fruit, the Ancient God Clan cultivator not only entered the Mystic Void Realm Initial Stage, but also formed an extremely distorted Logic Origin within his body. That power did not belong to the Ancient God Clan, nor to the order of heaven and earth, but was a "reverse side of the rules" that had been forcibly torn apart.
A cold smile slowly crept onto Qin Yu's lips. "I didn't expect," his voice was calm, yet tinged with mockery, "That you Ancient God Clan —could actually transform into demons."
"Fallen into the demonic path." The demonized cultivator slowly raised his head, his blood-red pupils burning like an abyss.
His voice was low and hoarse. "Hmph." "Today—you forced me into this. You're the one who led me down the path of demons." His bone wings slowly unfurled, terrifying demonic energy surging between heaven and earth. "Even if I fall into the path of demons—" "I will still Annihilation you."
His voice suddenly turned extremely cold. "You—must be erased." The void trembled violently, but Qin Yu merely smiled lightly.
The next moment, he slowly raised his right hand, and a silent and ancient sword intent slowly emerged from his palm, causing the space to tremble slightly— the Silent Origin Stainless Sword.
The sword seemed to have been born from nothingness, without sharpness, yet it appeared capable of severing the very source of all existence. A faint, Silent Origin glow flowed along the blade, like the fading light of a sleeping universe.
Qin Yu gripped the sword hilt, and the entire void suddenly fell silent. "Then let's begin," Qin Yu said calmly. "Let me see—your Ancient God Clan's forbidden demonic transformation technique."
His eyes turned slightly cold. "Just what abilities do you have?" Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yu moved first, his figure moving without any sudden burst of speed.
With a mere flick of his sword, the divine power— the No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword —was unleashed, and the world suddenly fell silent the instant the sword was swung.
Where the sword passed, space neither shattered nor trembled, but instead became an undefinable blank space.
The universe seemed to be rewritten at this moment, and an endless sea of chaotic lotus flowers suddenly unfolded in the void, with billions of chaotic lotus flowers blooming in the void.
However, in the next instant, all the lotus flowers withered at the same time, their petals turning into Annihilation dust, and the entire world became an endless white expanse.
It is a space that is absolutely Timelessness, where time Does Not Exist, consciousness Does Not Exist, and even the possibility of being "conceived" Does Not Exist.
At this moment, the demonized cultivator's sea of consciousness seemed to be directly dragged into a white world, his awareness, thoughts, ideas, and reactions—
Everything began to crumble, as if a galaxy had collapsed. The very origin of his existence was locked by this sword intent, and once this sword fell...
He wouldn't even have the right to "have the thought of rebellion," everything would return to the absolute No Definition, and Silent Origin, however.
Just as the sword was about to completely devour him, the demonized cultivator suddenly let out a low roar.
"Forbidden Demon God--" "World-Devouring Devil Fetus!" Boom--!! The demonic energy in his chest suddenly exploded, and a huge black demonic embryo phantom unfolded behind him.
The demonic fetus resembled a black embryo nurturing the universe, its interior constantly churning with distorted fragments of the world.
The demonic fetus suddenly opened, like a gaping maw of an abyss that devoured everything, and Qin Yu's sword intent of No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword was forcibly swallowed into the demonic fetus.
The demonic fetus trembled violently, as if enduring unimaginable destructive power, but ultimately—
The sword intent was actually obliterated. Qin Yu's gaze darkened slightly, but the next moment...
The demonized cultivator made his move again, raising his divine staff, causing the rules of the entire world to tremble.
"Divine Power--" Breaking Law Staff - Myriad Laws Return to the Ruins! The divine staff was suddenly pointed out, and countless lines of laws suddenly appeared in the void.
Gold, silver, purple, cyan—those are the embodiment of the Way of Heaven, cause and effect, destiny, and reincarnation.
The Law of All Laws: The tip of the staff gently touched the lines of law, and "snap—" the first line broke.
Immediately afterwards, "snap-snap-snap-" countless threads of law snapped simultaneously, like countless harp strings breaking at once.
The rules and structure of heaven and earth began to crumble, and Qin Yu's sword intent was stripped of its legal support at this moment.
The light of the Silent Origin Stainless Sword began to vibrate, and in the next instant, the divine staff crashed down.
The terrifying power of breaking the law struck Qin Yu directly. Qin Yu swung his sword to block it, and Boom!! The heavens and earth trembled.
Qin Yu's figure was suddenly blasted back hundreds of feet, and a huge crack was torn open in the void between the Inverted Mountains.
Qin Yu landed in mid-air, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword resonated softly, and his robes were slightly torn.
A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth; he had suffered a minor injury, while the demonized cultivator hovered in the void.
Bone wings blotted out the sky, and his blood-red pupils burned with madness. He chuckled softly. "Qin Yu..." "Now—" "How many more blows can you withstand?"
The void between the Inverted Mountains has completely lost its original order. The massive mountains hang upside down in the sky, their shattered rocks slowly rotating in the spatial turbulence.
A hundred miles away, the Heaven-Reaching Ancient Vine the heavens coiled in the depths of the void like the nerves of an ancient universe.
Qin Yu hovered in mid-air, his robes swaying gently, the blade of the Silent Origin Stainless Sword flowing with a faint yet profound Silent Origin radiance.
His gaze was fixed on the power emanating from the demonic cultivator ahead... It was too abnormal. Qin Yu's gaze gradually became calm and sharp.
His mind raced through countless calculations in an instant. "No," Qin Yu thought to himself. "The demonic essence within it is too powerful."
A cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Otherwise—with its Mystic Void Realm Initial Stage cultivation, it would have been impossible for it to completely withstand my sword strike."
That wasn't just cultivation level, but a core of demonic logic forcibly implanted into the body.
Qin Yu's pupils contracted slightly. "We must find a way to shatter that demonic source power." Otherwise, the battle will drag on indefinitely.
At that very moment, the demonized cultivator opposite suddenly let out a low, furious roar, a sound like a giant beast awakening from the abyss.
"Qin Yu-- " His bone wings suddenly unfolded, and demonic energy soared into the sky. The entire space of the Inverted Mountains area began to tremble violently.
"Utter Annihilation!!" He suddenly raised his divine staff, and all the ancient divine runes on the staff simultaneously burst into flames.
Suddenly, a very slight wind arose between heaven and earth. The wind had no color and no sound, yet it instilled a suffocating fear in the entire void.
"Supernatural Power--" Formless Staff - All Forms Annihilated!! The moment the staff was raised horizontally, a gentle breeze began to flow around it.
The wind is colorless and odorless, yet it seems to come from the ends of the universe; it is a force specifically designed to destroy the "form of existence."
The staff tip pointed at Qin Yu, and the next moment, a sudden gust of wind arose. Boom! An invisible wind swept in like an unseen tsunami.
Wherever it passed, the space began to fade. In the distance, an Inverted Mountains was swept by the wind, and the entire mountain first became transparent.
Mineral veins gradually appeared within the rocks. Then—the mountain began to "fade," the rocks disappeared, the mineral veins vanished, and the entire mountain looked like a painting being gently erased by an eraser.
In the end, only a vast expanse of white emptiness remained, not even a speck of dust was left behind, and the wind continued its journey.
Heading straight for Qin Yu, Qin Yu's body began to change; his robes first became transparent.
Then the skin began to become transparent, and the outline of the bones vaguely appeared; this was no simple attack.
This is a force that strips away the definition of existence; it doesn't destroy the physical body, but rather erases "what you are."
Once it is completely completed, Qin Yu will no longer be nothingness, because nothingness is also a form.
He will become utterly Emptiness —unspeakable, inconceivable, and inexistent.
However, at that very moment, Qin Yu suddenly moved, Silent Origin Stainless Sword trembled slightly.
Qin Yu uttered in a low voice, "The Three Forms of Fate Construction — Cause and Effect Deconstruction." "Cause and Effect Reshaping."
In an instant, the world seemed to freeze, the invisible wind around Qin Yu stopped, and countless unseen causal threads emerged from the depths of the void.
Those lines connected to the wind, to the divine staff, and to the source of power within the demonized cultivator's body. A remarkably calm light flashed in Qin Yu's pupils.
He saw it; it was the origin of the demonic path, a core of power resembling a black star core.
It is deeply embedded in the consciousness and Fate Soul of the demonized cultivator, constantly releasing demonic logic to repair all the broken rules.
This is why he was able to withstand that sword strike. Qin Yu's gaze suddenly turned cold. "Found it." He suddenly took a step forward.
The Silent Origin Stainless Sword suddenly rose, but instead of striking the enemy, it struck a point in the void.
That one point—is precisely the logical flaw in the very essence of demonic cultivation. Qin Yu spoke in a low voice, "The Silent Origin Stainless Sword — The Causeless Disillusionment Sword."
As the sword light fell, the world suddenly lost its color, and a pure, Ultimate Silent Origin Sword pierced through the void.
It has no trajectory, no speed; it seems to have existed there from the very beginning.
The next instant, the sword light pierced directly through the demonized cultivator's chest, but—
No wounds were left; what was truly struck was the core of the demonic origin within his body.
Boom! The black star core trembled violently, cracks spread wildly, and demonic energy went berserk instantly.
"Ah--!!!" The demonized cultivator let out a shrill scream as the demonic logic that supported everything within him was collapsing.
His bone wings began to shatter, and demonic energy leaked out wildly. His power went out of control in an instant, and Qin Yu gave him no chance.
The Silent Origin Stainless Sword was raised once more, and the world suddenly darkened. Countless rays of Silent Origin light erupted from the sword's edge, and Qin Yu's voice was deep and cold.
"It's over." The sword fell— the Undefined Destruction Sword, the instant the sword fell.
It was as if a single frame of the universe had been completely erased, and all sound had vanished.
All the light faded, and a pure, Silent Origin Sword traversed the heavens and earth.
The demonized cultivator's body froze abruptly under the sword strike, and the next second, his body began to fall from his chest.
Inch by inch, the bone wings crumbled, the scales collapsed, the demonic energy dissipated, and the entire ten-zhang-tall demonic body turned into billions of black dust particles.
The light dust was quickly annihilated within the sword light, ultimately leaving not even a trace.
Silence returned to the Inverted Mountains, as if the battle had never taken place. Qin Yu slowly sheathed his sword.
The Silent Origin Stainless Sword trembled slightly, its sword light returning to silence, and a distant Inverted Mountains slowly collapsed.
The boulder fell, like the final echo of this battle, Qin Yu stood silently in the void.
As if what had just Annihilation was nothing more than a speck of dust, the void between the Inverted Mountains returned to silence once more.
The destructive shockwave from that sword strike still lingered in the air. In the distance, the rock layers gently crumbled away amidst the invisible aftershocks, and boulders fell into the abyss below, emitting a deep and resonant echo.
The figure of the demon cultivator had completely vanished; where the Undefined Destruction Sword had struck, there was no blood, no remains, and no soul.
It was as if no life had ever existed there, yet in this Annihilation void...
Suddenly—a faint golden light slowly fell from the sky; the light was extremely ancient.
As if traversing countless eras, Qin Yu's gaze sharpened slightly; it was a token.
The token slowly spun as it fell. It wasn't large, only about half the size of a palm, yet it exuded an extremely heavy, ancient divine pressure.
The entire token was forged from an unknown divine metal, its color ranging between dark gold and deep blue, and its surface was covered with extremely complex God Clan patterns. These patterns did not seem to be engraved, but rather seemed to be veins that grew naturally from within the metal, each one flowing with a faint divine radiance.
At the center of the token is an extremely ancient rune, which resembles a collapsing star core, surrounded by several rotating divine runes.
Each orbit was slowly rotating, as if the entire order of the universe revolved around that mark.
On the back of the token, an even more ancient divine script slowly emerged.
The characters were not engraved, but rather formed from the pure aura of ancient gods, like a brand of a sleeping divine soul.
When the token fell into the air, the void trembled slightly, as if paying homage to some ancient being.
It was the aura of the Ancient God Clan, deep, ancient, and supreme, as the token slowly fell.
Just as it was about to plunge into the abyss below, a hand gently reached out.
Qin Yu gently grasped at the air, and the token stopped abruptly before slowly falling into his palm.
Qin Yu looked down at the token, the ancient divine patterns on its surface gently flowing in his palm.
That ancient God Clan pressure seemed to be trying to break free of his control, but Qin Yu only slightly tightened his grip.
That aura was instantly suppressed, as if they had encountered a higher-level being. Qin Yu gently flipped the token.
His gaze fell upon the ancient god's mark. After a moment, a faint smile slowly appeared on Qin Yu's lips.
"This token..." he murmured. "It's quite unique." Qin Yu's gaze deepened.
He gently closed his palm, and the ancient god token was instantly stored in his storage space.
Qin Yu raised his head and looked into the endless void in the distance, where it seemed that some ancient and enormous race was hidden.
Qin Yu spoke softly, his tone carrying a hint of amusement. "Luo Qingchuan." His voice echoed in the void.
"It seems..." Qin Yu's lips curled into a slight smile. "I'll have to pay you a visit to your Ancient God Clan when I have time—"
