The Seal of Karma, Time and Dimension was placed on the chest of the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor, the scene at the center of the entire Logic and Karma Grand Formation was completely severed from the outside world. Time within ten miles seemed to be slowly pressed down by an invisible hand, its flow becoming extremely slow, so slow that every floating speck of dust seemed to carry the echo of an ancient era. Silver, gold, and black divine light surged from the seal layer by layer.
First, it intertwined around his body, then seeped in inch by inch along his meridians, soul veins, destiny, and karma, like three ancient rivers originating from the end of the universe simultaneously pouring into an ancient and powerful body. The Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor sat motionless, his long hair slowly rising in the windless space.
His eyes, which were already as deep and unfathomable as an abyss, were now completely closed, but the aura of Annihilation that had been pressing down on the world was rising steadily, like an ancient ferocious lord that had been dormant for hundreds of epochs, finally regaining its most primordial and complete origin at this moment.
A silvery-white light pierced his soul first. In that instant, Qin Yu clearly saw countless overlapping rivers of time appear above the head of the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor. Each river carried a different version of him, including his youth when he first awakened his Spiritual Sense.
There is him who first grasped the Silent Law, there is him who wielded imperial power and suppressed all realms, and there are countless tributary destinies that have long been abandoned, severed, and sealed off. Those "past" and "future" manifest simultaneously under the illumination of the Seal of Karma, Time and Dimension, and are simultaneously forcibly compressed and merged by a higher level of authority, until all branches of time return to the only main line that runs through the past and present.
Immediately afterwards, golden divine light of cause and effect exploded from his body, and countless fine threads of cause and Ultimate descended from the void, wrapping around his shoulders, his spine, and the Fate Soul Nucleus. In the next instant, they were all drawn into his palm by the Annihilation power rising within him. It was the old cause and effect being stripped away, the supreme Order Adjudication belonging to the lineage of the Annihilation Ancient Emperor being rewritten.
From that moment on, every breath he took, every thought he had, every tremor of his soul carried an Ultimate mark powerful enough to overwhelm the causality of all realms. Finally, dimensional light, as dark as a bottomless abyss, slowly flowed from the seal. There was no sound, no impact, yet the space surrounding the entire formation simultaneously experienced a chilling, silent collapse.
Layers of invisible dimensional barriers faded away on their own. The distant, floating, Cause Splitting lines, fragmented logical chains, and shards of spiritual energy all stopped as they approached this area, as if even the act of "approaching" itself had been denied. The figure of the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor was slowly swallowed by the deep black light.
He reappeared in an even deeper layer of the void, as if he were still in his original position, yet also as if he stood outside of all dimensions. The aura of the old emperor was completely washed away at this moment, and a more desolate, more ancient, and more silent pressure silently spread from his body, causing the surrounding area to tremble in unison, as if the entire Limitless Final Abyss had heard the sound of a slumbering era opening its eyes again.
The Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor and the Void Finality Saint Emperor stood outside the formation, their divine light growing ever brighter. Qin Yu stood at the very front, quietly observing everything. He could clearly sense that the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor was no longer merely receiving the baptism of a seal; he was being "renamed."
Recalibrated to the Ultimate trajectory established by the Annihilation Ancient Emperor, the gray-white Dao Seal had already completely merged with his Fate Soul essence. The two core divine abilities and techniques inherited were also completely engraved into the deepest part of his sea of consciousness during this baptism.
The first thing to take shape was the "Severance of Time and Causality," and even before that power was truly released, strange phenomena began to appear in the surrounding world. A very thin vertical line slowly cracked open between the brows of the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor. This line was not a wound, but rather like a river channel leading to the end of eternity being forcibly opened. Deep within the crack, there were no pupils, no divine light, only a bottomless "Abyss of Annihilation" slowly revealed itself. In an instant...
The floating causal lines and time fractures all around emitted extremely faint moans at the same time. The time wheels that were slowly rotating all froze the moment they appeared at the mouth of the Dao Abyss. Qin Yu even saw a spacetime fracture in the distance that was still repairing itself suddenly stop repairing. The broken edge was scorched by invisible fire into a ring of gray-white marks that would never heal. That was the initial response of the Severance of Time and Causality.
If this technique were to be truly unleashed, the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor would need only close his eyes and concentrate, silently uttering the word "Absolute." His will, devoid of sound waves and rhythm, would simultaneously pierce through all timelines, all parallel dimensions, and all branches of causality. Countless golden threads and silver rivers would appear on the target's body—a concrete reflection of fate and time. Immediately afterward, the threads would snap one by one, the rivers would dry up inch by inch, and the target's past would collapse beforehand.
Childhood memories, experiences of seeking the Tao, and the moral compass that guide one's life will gradually lose their sense of belonging, and the future will collapse into darkness at the same moment. All means of parallel selves, reincarnation, reconstruction of cause and effect, and reversal of time will be sealed off before the word "absolute" is truly established.
Finally, the target will be compressed to an irreversible zero point, leaving not even ashes. All memories of it by onlookers will be automatically corrected by the cosmic timeline, as smooth and natural as a wound healing, as if such a being had never existed in the world from beginning to end. Once this technique is completed, time, cause and effect, reincarnation, and destiny can all be reduced to Eternal Annihilation in an instant.
Subsequently, the second core technique, "Annihilation Dimension," also fully manifested during the inheritance. Qin Yu saw the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor slightly raise his right hand, which was resting on his knee. There was no sign of any power surging in his palm, yet a tiny, almost invisible black sphere was born out of thin air. The sphere Does Not Exist luster, Does Not Exist color, and even "pitch black" was insufficient to describe its essence.
Because what it presented was Ultimate void where even attributes were rejected. The moment the black sphere appeared, a section of space behind the great formation was silently erased, leaving behind a "path of Does Not Exist" invisible to the naked eye yet instinctively chilling.
If this technique is truly used, the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor only needs to gently toss this ball towards the target. Along the path the ball travels, time will stop flowing, space will fade into blankness, and cause and effect will automatically slide into the abyss. The moment the target touches it, the physical body, soul, clones, projections, memories, and cause and effect will be compressed, folded, and swallowed up simultaneously. The entire existence will be sealed into that eternally generated "Annihilation Dimension" in an instant.
There is no time there, therefore no thought; there is no space there, therefore no action; there is no cause and effect there, therefore no perception. Any struggle, despair, pain, or self-salvation cannot arise because it lacks the necessary premises. The goal will only be banished to the outside of all dimensions in a way more thorough than imprisonment, forever isolated, with no hope of return.
What's even more terrifying is that once this dimensional cage is formed, it cannot be observed, interfered with, or destroyed by the outside world, because any act of "observation," "interference," or "destruction" requires establishing a minimum connection with it, and what the Annihilation Dimension has forged is an absolute final prison that completely denies even the connection itself.
The strange phenomenon at the center of the grand formation continued, the three-colored divine radiance roaring alternately before gradually receding and sinking into the body of the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor. The moment he slowly opened his eyes, the world seemed to darken for a moment. No light in the ordinary sense could be seen deep within his pupils; only a gray-white Silent Abyss, seemingly capable of sealing off all exits to the past, present, and future, flowed slowly.
The three-colored marks between his brows eventually merged into a faint Dao Seal of Annihilation, hovering before his forehead, before slowly fading away. His entire aura had completely changed; it was no longer the oppressive imperial aura that had once dominated all living beings, but a deeper, quieter, and more instinctively terrifying sense of "cessation," as if, if he so desired, the world before him would immediately freeze at some moment that could never continue.
The Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor stepped forward first, his eyes filled with shock and ecstasy, which he could no longer contain. The Void Finality Saint Emperor approached almost simultaneously, and both of them could clearly feel that their elder brother had now completed a true transformation.
Qin Yu stood in front, a faint smile finally appearing on his lips. He knew that from this moment on, the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor had truly inherited the Dao of the Annihilation Ancient Emperor. The two Ultimate divine abilities, Severance of Time and Causality- Severance and Annihilation Dimension, had also been completely incorporated into his Fate Soul system. Once they were truly unleashed on the battlefield in the future, all those in the heavens who established their destiny based on time, cause and effect, and dimension would tremble at the mere mention of it. And the army of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch would become even more powerful in the future.
The Void Finality Saint Emperor suddenly took a step forward, his voice exploding like a volcano suppressed for hundreds of epochs, "Big Brother!!! You succeeded!!!" His voice reverberated amidst the shattered remains of the great formation, causing the lingering aftershocks of cause and effect to surge and ripple. The Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor's eyes reddened, his voice low yet trembling uncontrollably, "Big Brother... Big Brother..."
The Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor said nothing, but slowly raised his hand. A fleeting glimpse of the three-colored afterglow of Annihilation flashed at his fingertips. His gaze swept over his two brothers, finally settling on Qin Yu. He nodded very slightly. At that moment, no words were needed; everything was clear.
Qin Yu withdrew his clone guarding the rear. The illusory figure returned to his main body in the void like ripples on water. He took a step forward, and the remaining logical patterns under his feet disappeared. His connection with this space was stabilized again.
In the brief moment before this tranquility could spread, a subtle yet chilling dislocation suddenly appeared in the heavens and earth. It wasn't a tremor, but rather as if some higher being was attempting to rewrite the rules of this place.
Cracks appeared simultaneously on the remaining causal sealing patterns on the outer edge of the great formation, from which wisps of extremely cold black light seeped out. The next moment—with a deafening roar—the entire logical causal formation shattered completely as if it had been erased directly from the "level of existence." All the nodes that maintained order broke at the same time, space lost its constraints, time lost its buffer, and the causal chain broke instantly.
A beam of black light suddenly shot out from the depths of nothingness, without any trajectory or warning, directly piercing through all levels and locking onto the brow of the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor. The black light was not an attack of "energy," but rather a "negation" that had been forcibly compressed. Wherever it passed, space collapsed into an irreparable blank crack, and even the remaining power of Annihilation was momentarily delayed at that moment.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor raised his right hand before the black light arrived, his palm slightly clenched, as if grasping the very source of time and cause and effect. An invisible barrier of Annihilation instantly formed before him.
The moment the black light collided, there was no explosion, no impact, only a very low "crack" sound. The black light was directly compressed, stripped, and shattered the instant it touched the barrier, and even its "logic of existence" was annihilated, turning into a wisp of Emptiness that could not be perceived at all.
The Void Finality Saint Emperor roared suddenly, his voice filled with boundless killing intent and rage suppressed for hundreds of epochs, "Who is it???? Come out and fight me one-on-one!!!" Behind him, the aura of nothingness surged, and the aura of the end around him unfolded layer by layer, as if it were about to tear this space apart at any moment.
The Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor flashed, appearing beside Qin Yu in the next instant. The Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor also shifted to the side at the same time, the three forming a triangle to protect the core area. Qin Yu's gaze swept across the surroundings, his divine soul already extending to a deeper level of the logical interface.
His voice was deep and clear, "Get ready, the enemy is here." The moment these words fell, the four of them made no unnecessary movements, but at the same instant, they adjusted their battle stances, their auras were contained to the Ultimate, and all their senses expanded outward, locking onto every inch of the surrounding void.
Extremely strange fluctuations began to appear in the distant space. It wasn't ordinary distortion, but rather as if layers of "definition" were being peeled away and then covered again. The void in that area repeatedly collapsed, reorganized, and collapsed again.
A pitch-black humanoid silhouette slowly emerged from the center of the fluctuations. It didn't have a real "appearance process," but rather seemed to have been forcibly dragged into the visible realm from a level that already existed.
The being stood in the void, its body slender yet lacking any stable structure. Its body seemed to be formed by countless negated shadows superimposed upon each other, with black and white constantly intersecting, peeling away, and reconstructing on its body. Its robes hung down like shattered dimensional membranes, their edges constantly spreading out and self-repairing, as if even the "form" itself could not be fixed on its body.
Its head had no facial features, only an Ultimate darkness. Behind that darkness, however, there were faintly concentric circles of extremely complex geometric light rings slowly rotating. These light rings were not simple array patterns, but a three-dimensional structure composed of countless rules, causes and effects, and logic. Each ring represented a "method of defining" the world, but at this moment it was forcibly suppressed behind it, like an enslaved order.
It slowly raised its hands, its fingertips remaining still, while the surrounding space simultaneously collapsed inward, as if those hands themselves were the "center," and everything was being drawn towards them.
There was no foothold beneath their feet, yet the entire area felt oppressively trampled, as if the space was bearing an unbearable weight. There were no energy fluctuations in the air, yet Qin Yu and his companions simultaneously felt an extremely pure danger—a danger that did not stem from the strength of their power, but from the difference in their "mode of existence."
The creature did not speak, but a will directly pressed into the depths of the four people's consciousness. It was cold, calm, and emotionless, as if stating a predetermined conclusion. At this moment, the world was silent, and all directions were quiet. Qin Yu and the other three slowly stared at the strange creature.
