The black water exploded—not just splashed, but the entire lotus pond was torn apart and overturned from the inside by an indescribable, terrifying force!
Boom!!!!
The inky black poisonous water shot into the sky, forming a towering wave thousands of feet high, like a black curtain of the sky suddenly hanging upside down. Lightning raged within it, and purple-black lightning danced like billions of lightning snakes, tearing the entire space to pieces.
At the very center of this destructive wave, an outline slowly emerged—first a sharp claw, extending from the depths of the Blackwater Abyss.
The claw was so enormous that it blotted out the sky, each finger as thick as a mountain, its entire body ablaze with interwoven crimson and black flames, as if countless devoured creatures were howling and writhing within it.
The next instant—"Boom!!!" The giant claw slammed down! Space shattered instantly! The entire world collapsed and cracked under this blow, like a mirror being crushed by a tremendous force, crumbling inch by inch!
Then it fully manifested itself in the world, a nine-headed evil dragon bursting forth from the depths of the lotus pond!
Its body was so enormous that it could not be measured. Half of its body was still submerged in the black water, while the other half had soared into the sky. Its scales were like obsidian iron, layer upon layer, with an eerie blood-red luster at the edges.
On each scale, twisted "devouring marks" appeared, as if the presence of countless cultivators had been forcibly etched into them.
Flames burned on its body, but they were not ordinary flames; they were the product of corpse energy and remnants of the Great Dao intertwined.
Crimson as blood and dark as an abyss, the intertwined flames even corroded the space itself, leaving behind charred cracks.
The most terrifying thing is its head, nine heads, nine different "forms of existence", some like ferocious ancient dragons, with protruding fangs and gushing blood.
Some resembled twisted monsters with three layers of pupils in their eyes; others were like skeletal dragons, half of their heads already turned to white bones, yet still burning with ghostly flames.
Some even exhibit bizarre, half-human, half-beast silhouettes, as if they had once devoured some higher being.
Nine heads, nine forms, yet all emanating the same aura of absolute devouring and corruption; their eyes...
All of them lit up a deep crimson, like nine burning suns of calamity. In the next instant, all nine heads raised simultaneously, locking onto Qin Yu.
"Roar!!!!!!!!!!" Nine dragon roars erupted simultaneously! The sound wasn't just deafening; it shook directly into "existence itself."
Space collapsed! Time became disordered! The chain of cause and effect broke and shifted in an instant! The entire world, as if unable to withstand the terrifying sound waves compounded by nine layers, began to collapse madly!
In the distance, mountains shattered and the void cracked open, lightning was torn to shreds, and even the towering black waves from before were forcibly pushed back into the pool with this roar!
The nine heads roared in unison, as if nine worlds were collapsing simultaneously! Yet Qin Yu remained standing, his robes fluttering, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword held horizontally beside him.
His gaze fell coldly on the nine-headed dragon, showing no shock or surprise, only an extremely indifferent judgment.
Because he had already realized that this thing was no ordinary being; every inch of its body was imbued with the "pseudo-Dao" of the lotus pond.
Those cultivators who were once devoured, those beings who were tempted, purified, or erased, all became a part of it.
It not only devours physical bodies but also the Dao; it has completely merged with this lotus pond, and one could even say that it is the "manifestation of the will" of this lotus pond.
The aura of the evil dragon was fully unleashed! Boom!!! An invisible pressure suddenly spread out from the body of the nine-headed evil dragon!
The heavens and earth sank! Space collapsed! Even the rules themselves groaned and twisted under the immense pressure! This power had completely surpassed the ordinary Realm Breaking Realm · Supreme!
That's the Mystic Void Realm! And not just the initial or intermediate stage, but the Mystic Void Realm Supreme! A being that has touched the Great Dao, devoured all spirits, and stands at the pinnacle of the Profound Mystic Void.
A divine beast, a supreme-level calamity! The nine dragon heads slowly lowered their nine pairs of crimson eyes, simultaneously locking onto Qin Yu. The largest dragon head in the middle slowly spoke.
The voice was deep, yet it seemed to resound simultaneously from nine dimensions. "You... shouldn't have woken up." The world fell silent as the man and the dragon faced off.
Qin Yu in the void, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword in hand, its blade lowered yet suppressing heaven and earth. He slowly raised his head, his gaze locking onto the nine-headed evil dragon, his tone cold and utterly devoid of emotion:
"It's you, you little worm..." His fingers tightened slightly. The sword trembled softly. "You almost took my life." The nine heads of the evil dragon twisted simultaneously.
The first one suddenly rose up! The dragon's eyes changed instantly! Two abysses unfolded in its pupils!
That was not a visual perception but a "real reflection of all things," where the phantoms of countless beings appeared, collapsed, regenerated, and perished again deep within its pupils.
It was as if everything that existed was merely the result of being "judged." The next instant, it opened its mouth without roaring or making a sound, and a gray-white beam of light appeared.
"Silently spewing from the dragon's mouth! 'Sever All Falsehood and Delusion!'" A beam of light streaked across the void, moving without speed yet instantly engulfing Qin Yu.
Where the beam of light passed, the world began to "negate itself," and the distant lightning that had not yet dissipated instantly faded and then vanished like smoke.
The cracks in space vanished as if they had never existed; even the fact that they had "broken" was erased because it was "false."
At that moment, the beam of light enveloped Qin Yu. In an instant, cracks appeared on Qin Yu's body, not wounds, but rather a "structural breakdown".
Countless fine cracks spread from the surface of his body, and within the cracks, a strange "transparency" shone through, as if his existence was being peeled away.
"Am I real?" This thought suddenly surfaced in the depths of his consciousness. Qin Yu did not move, not even frowning.
The next instant, he raised his hand but did not swing his sword; instead, he lightly tapped the air with his fingertips and said calmly, "Master Book Seal Severance Naming Reconstruction." Boom, but no explosion occurred.
But a scroll of "book" slowly unfolded from the void; it was not a physical entity, but the universe itself, its pages turned, and starlight condensed.
Countless characters, runes, and logical nodes emerged in the void, their gold and purple hues intertwining like the silent turning of pages in a primordial book that contains all laws.
However, it caused the "definition system" of the entire space to begin to rearrange. The gray-white light pillars still enveloped Qin Yu, and the cracks continued to spread.
But at that very moment, a "naming sequence" suddenly lit up on the page—it was "Qin Yu." The next instant, the page turned, and a new "definition" was written in.
Existence criterion: Absolutely true, immutable, undeniable, and unreconstructable. The entire beam of light suddenly paused.
As if some underlying logic had been forcibly rewritten, the gray-white light that was originally "judging" suddenly became disordered.
It was still running but could no longer make a judgment because the "authenticity" of the target had been locked. The crack stopped spreading, and the next moment...
The reversal began... crack, ...
The gray-white beam of light continued to wash over, but could no longer produce any effect, as if it were trying to "deny an existence that was defined as undeniable."
"Impossible, "Qin Yu slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the beam of light and staring directly at the first dragon head. In his eyes, there was no fluctuation, only a faint chill.
"Your judgment," he said softly, "Has no effect on me." The next instant, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword in his hand trembled slightly, but he did not draw his sword.
With a single ripple of sword intent, boom!!! The entire gray-white pillar of light shattered instantly! It transformed into countless fragmented "judgment pieces" that vanished into thin air!
It was as if this divine power could not be established from the very beginning. The world returned to silence, and Qin Yu remained standing in the same spot, completely unharmed.
For the first time, the head of the nine-headed dragon opposite them showed a slight... pause.
The world fell silent for a moment, not because things had calmed down, but because some higher-level "judgment" was about to be delivered.
As Qin Yu slowly raised the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, he ceased his defensive stance and instead drew his sword. His voice was deep and resonant, as if descending from beyond the world:
"The Silent Origin Stainless Sword— " The sword's edge trembled slightly. The entire "concept" of the world began to fall into disarray at this moment.
"First move." He took a step forward. The void remained still, yet it seemed as if the entire world was beneath his feet. "No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword."
Boom! There was no explosion, but his "consciousness" was severed. The sword hadn't been drawn, but its intent had already arrived. The space around Qin Yu instantly transformed into an endless chaotic lotus sea!
Lotus blossoms bloomed from the void, only to wither and disintegrate in the next instant, their petals crumbling into countless "fragments of thought." And these fragments, before they even fell...
It was directly erased, not vanished, but "never conceived of." This sword did not sever the physical body, nor the soul, but rather, "The concept before its very budding."
Qin Yu unleashed a sword strike! The sword light was invisible, colorless, and even unobservable, but in that instant, all nine heads of the nine-headed dragon trembled simultaneously!
Its nine consciousnesses were "severed" at the same time, and the evil dragon roared fiercely! "Roar--!!!" But this time, the roar was interrupted!
It was as if it itself couldn't even fully "construct its own roar." It sensed something was wrong with this sword strike! The second and third heads of the nine-headed dragon opened their mouths simultaneously!
Its power erupted with a deafening roar! "Nine Abyss Undying - True Corpse Dragon Prison!" Boom!!!! Black water surged into the sky! Countless corpses were forcibly dragged from the bottom of the pool!
The remains of those cultivators who had been devoured were all activated at this moment! Bones reassembled! Fates reconnected! A city built from billions of corpses was created!
The Bone Dragon Domain unfolded instantly! Layer upon layer of bones formed a massive defensive barrier, completely enveloping the evil dragon's true form!
At the same time, all the scales on the nine-headed dragon's body lit up simultaneously! Within each scale, the "remnant image of a devoured being" appeared.
Those afterimages roared simultaneously! They simultaneously "constructed their own existence"! Trying to resist the "thoughtless obliteration" of that sword, but it was too late, Qin Yu's sword had already fallen.
There was no light, no trace. Yet, the moment it touched the skeletal dragon domain, a rift appeared in the world. With a crack, the skeletal barrier instantly "blanked out," not shattered.
Rather, that part of its existence was "denied," like a scene being erased. Crack! Crack! Crack! The entire Bone Dragon Realm collapsed madly!
Billions of corpses, simultaneously losing their "concept of existence," instantly turned into meaningless fragments! Even the fact that they had "been devoured" began to waver!
The dragon's nine heads trembled simultaneously! Its defenses were utterly ineffective! The sword intent continued to advance, striking directly at its main body!
In that instant, the existence of the nine-headed dragon fractured! Boom!!!! The two dragon heads suddenly paused, and then began to disintegrate from their very source.
It wasn't a severing or tearing, but rather an "inability to continue existing." The two dragon heads vanished in mid-air, leaving no blood and no remains.
There wasn't even a break, as if it had never existed in the first place. "Roar!!!!!!!!!"
The remaining seven roared in fury at the same time! The entire world trembled violently! Black water surged! Thunder exploded! But Qin Yu had already sheathed his sword.
His robes fluttered slightly, his expression remaining indifferent, as if the sword strike just now was merely a casual gesture against the seven-headed dragon.
Staring intently at him, genuine fear appeared in his eyes for the first time. Qin Yu spoke calmly, "You are not qualified." Silence fell over the room.
Above the lotus pond, black water churned like a collapsing sky, and purple-black lightning crackled and exploded in the void. A seven-headed evil dragon coiled within, its crippled body only making it appear more ferocious. Its original nine-headed power had been diminished by the loss of two heads.
There was no churning of flesh and blood at the point of breakage, only a strange void that twisted and turned on the dragon's body, as if the two parts of existence had been erased from the source of the Fate Soul and had nowhere to go.
The middle one was the largest, its dragon eyes like two ancient suns falling into an abyss, fixed on Qin Yu, its gaze no longer just savage, but also mixed with a trace of suppressed surprise and fear.
It slowly lowered its head, and as its dragon breath surged, the surrounding space collapsed inch by inch. Yet, the sound seemed to be dragged out from the very end of cause and effect, deep and tearing:
"What... exactly are you?"
Lightning illuminated its scales, and every scale trembled—an instability deep within its Fate Soul, an aftershock of a shaken foundation.
"Why... can one wield such a sword of Annihilation Structure?"
Its voice grew increasingly low and hoarse, as if even its "cognition" was wavering. "An existence like you... should not belong to this world..."
Qin Yu did not respond; he simply stood silently in the void, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword hanging in his palm, the sword remaining still.
But the causal flow of the entire world had slowly shifted around him, and his gaze was as calm as still water, without any killing intent.
However, this caused all seven dragons to simultaneously develop the illusion that "they are being abandoned by the world."
Suddenly, the dragon head on the left twisted violently, its fury raging, its scales bursting open and releasing a dark, primal energy. Its roar shattered layers of the void.
"Big Brother!!" Its voice was wild and twisted, filled with a resentful rage that seemed to tear at Fate Soul. "This human brat is extremely wicked!"
"That sword strike just now... it didn't sever the flesh, it didn't destroy the soul..." Its pupils contracted violently, as if it was still reliving the terror brought by that sword strike.
"That is—erasing existence from its very origin!" The dragon's head suddenly turned to Qin Yu, its killing intent surging, the black water churning like an ancient, dead sea.
"Ninth Brother and Eighth Brother..." Its voice suddenly deepened, carrying a suppressed rage. "They didn't even leave behind an echo of their Fate Soul!"
"This kind of Annihilation... even reincarnation cannot bear it!" Another dragon head suddenly emerged, its voice like the clash of iron and stone, carrying Ultimate ruthlessness and greed:
"Brother, we can't test him any further!" If this boy draws his sword again—" Black flames surged in its eyes, as if it could already see its own demise.
"Of our seven heads, I fear only three will survive!" It suddenly raised its head, its dragon mouth opened, and a dark aura condensed like a vortex swallowing the sky, its voice chilling and piercing:
"We must—devour him alive!" "Use our very essence to suppress him, drag his Fate Soul into the depths of the Dragon Prison, and crush his very foundation of karma!"
"We must not let him Annihilation so easily!"
All seven heads trembled simultaneously. On the dragon's body, the remaining Fate Soul began to surge wildly. Black water surged back, lightning cracked, and the entire lotus pond seemed to be dragged into some deeper Annihilation Structure.
Qin Yu remained motionless, merely raising his eyes slightly. In that instant, the world seemed to stand still as his gaze fell upon the seven-headed dragon with indifferent coldness.
As if looking at seven fragments of causal remnants that had not yet Annihilation, the next moment his fingertips twitched slightly, Silent Origin Stainless Sword was gently raised without any burst of power.
But it caused the entire space to begin to sink, as if the world itself was falling toward the edge of his sword.
