Establishing Heaven and Earth Against the Dao
Qin Yu's gaze never left the figure standing in the depths of nothingness. A black and white halo of rules slowly rotated behind it, each rotation rewriting the way the surrounding space existed. His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a steady, pressing blade, forcefully suppressing the turmoil in the four's hearts. "It seems it noticed us long ago, but only revealed itself now. Everyone be careful."
The pupils of the Void Finality Saint Emperor contracted slightly, and the aura of the End surged around him. "What kind of being is this? I've never seen it before!" The Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor's gaze suddenly darkened, and a fragment of memory was forcibly awakened. "This aura... this fluctuation... it's completely different from the legion of beings that attacked us back then!"
The Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor slowly raised his head, the faint mark of Annihilation between his brows flickering slightly. His voice was deep and cold, "Regardless of where it came from, its level has reached the True Annihilation Realm · Supreme. True annihilation means the absence of reality. All truth and falsehood lose their boundaries before it. The place where it stands is itself the 'undiscernible realm'."
Before the words had even finished, the eerie creature leaned forward slightly, its movement almost impossible to detect. In the next instant, the black and white halo surrounding it abruptly collapsed into a silent, rotating core, and the entire world seemed to visibly detach at that moment.
The outline of the mountains began to blur, the remaining causal lines were forcibly dragged, and the "presence" of everything in the air was stripped away little by little, as if the world itself was being compressed into an unbearable singularity.
"True Punishment Unification."
There was no sound; it was a declaration of will directly etched into the level of existence. A black and white vortex unfolded around it, and in an instant, everything within a radius of ten thousand miles began to collapse towards the center. Broken fragments of laws, wandering spiritual energy fluctuations, and even the qi and Fate Soul ripples around the four people were forcibly pulled in. Heaven and earth seemed to be swallowed by an invisible giant maw, and all "existence" was being compressed into a single point of "nothingness." That point was Ultimate black, yet it did not belong to darkness. It was as if even "nothingness" was being redefined within that point.
The Void Finality Saint Emperor roared, taking a step forward and raising his palm. A silent, colorless light of the end erupted from his body, without trajectory or form, like a "result" preceding the "process," the "Finality Deprivation"—in that instant.
What he locked onto was no longer the form of that being, but its "definition of existence." Where the light swept across, space did not collapse, but instead revealed a strange emptiness, as if that area should have been empty. The power of the end directly attempted to erase all the cause, logic, concepts and time imprints of that being from its very source, and to completely reduce it to zero in all dimensions.
Almost simultaneously, the Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor attacked. He clasped his hands together, Dao-Extinguishing Ripple suddenly spread around his body, like countless layers of transparent blades crushing down at the same time. "Dao-Extinguishing Judgment!" The ripples had no energy impact, yet they caused the rules to collapse wherever they passed.
The original structure of heaven and earth was stripped away layer by layer, and all the cultivation foundation, rule system and basis of existence of the target were directly locked. Once hit, even the source of "Dao" would be dismantled into nothingness.
The Emperor of Eternal Annihilation closed his eyes and concentrated, and his whole person seemed to fade away from reality. The vertical line between his eyebrows slowly cracked, and the bottomless abyss of Annihilation appeared again. He did not make a sound, but the word "Jue" was formed simultaneously in all timelines.
Silver and golden light erupted in the void, and countless fine rivers of time and threads of cause and effect were forcibly pulled from that being, beginning to break, dry up, and burn. The three highest-level Order Adjudication simultaneously locked its "existence temporality," intending to compress it directly into an eternal zero point.
At the very moment the three emperors unleashed their divine powers simultaneously, Qin Yu also moved.
He didn't retreat a step, but instead took half a step forward. The space beneath his feet seemed to be redrawn by an invisible brush. In his sea of consciousness, the Supreme Eternal Stillness Seal trembled slightly, and an indescribable "primordial point" quietly appeared between his eyebrows. At this moment, his eyes were completely silent, without light or shadow, only an absolute silence that made all laws retreat on their own.
Qin Yu raised his hand, his fingertips devoid of any power, yet it felt as if he had grasped a source that existed even before "existence."
"The Pre-Origin Shaping, All Laws Decide for Themselves"
Without a burst of light or an energy surge, the void itself underwent a complete reversal at that moment. The black and white halo rotating around the eerie creature momentarily shifted slightly, and every structural element began to reflect its own "reason for existence."
At this moment, the logic of those perfectly closed loops simultaneously revealed its paradoxical core: its engulfing, its Return to One, its Nullification. In the instant it was "defined" as perfect, it began to deny the very premises upon which it stood. A momentary stagnation occurred within the vortex, the first time it was "forced to think about itself."
However, in the next instant, true terror descended, as the four supernatural powers struck almost simultaneously.
The invisible erasure of the Finality Deprivation covered the outline of that living being, the ripples of the Dao-Extinguishing Judgment penetrated its structure, the Severance of Time and Causality and causal severance locked its time and causal nodes, and Qin Yu's Pre-Origin Shaping triggered logical self-devouring within it.
But the creature's figure did not collapse; after a brief pause, the black and white vortex suddenly reversed.
At that moment, the world seemed to be redefined.
The light of the end, upon contact with it, was instantly swallowed into that point of "nothingness," as if it had never been released; the Dao-Extinguishing Ripple, upon approaching its core, were instead deciphered by its structure, transforming into rings of shattered empty shells; the timeline and causal chain locked by the Severance of Time and Causality Separation...
At the moment of Ultimate compression, it was actually "detached" from the entire being, no longer existing in any time level that could be categorized; the self-referential paradox caused by Qin Yu's Pre-Origin Shaping was forcibly "renamed" in that instant, and the logical loop was redefined as a "structure that can accommodate paradoxes," and all autophagy reactions were suppressed in an instant.
Boom--
The four forces exploded simultaneously, causing the heavens and earth to collapse and create a huge blank area. Space seemed to have been torn apart, and the causal faults were exposed in the air, causing a brief interruption in time.
The Void Finality Saint Emperor and the Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor both groaned and took a half step back. Fine cracks appeared deep within their souls. The Abyss of Annihilation between the brows of the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor trembled slightly, and a faint trace of grayish-white blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. Although the three were not defeated head-on, they clearly suffered the impact of the backlash.
Only Qin Yu remained standing still, without any injuries on his body, and his breathing was perfectly steady.
But his gaze was more somber than before.
The creature slowly stood still, its black and white halo unfolding anew, as if everything that had just happened was merely a fluctuation in its breath. It didn't even take a step back, and the entire space beneath its feet stabilized again, as if the Realm Master way for it.
At this moment, the four finally realized that the enemy before them had long transcended the shackles of strength and weakness. He was the supreme ruler who was using the power of True Annihilation to reduce the laws of heaven and earth and the essence of existence to nothingness and rewrite a new life.
After a brief pause, the bizarre creature's shaken "annihilation core" suddenly stopped trembling and slowly collapsed into a deeper black dot. This black dot had no luster, yet it caused the "presence" of the entire space to begin to falter, as if even the concept of "space" itself...
Everything around it gradually lost its legitimacy. At this moment, its body no longer maintained the clear outline it had before, but was like a painting that had been torn apart and reassembled, with reality and illusion intertwined and existence intermittent. Every inch of it was repeatedly collapsing and reconstructing between "existence" and "non-existence".
The next moment, it stood still, while the whole world collapsed on its own.
The space deep within the Limitless Final Abyss suddenly collapsed into an indescribable form. Darkness was no longer darkness, light was no longer light, and all colors vanished simultaneously, yet also overlapped in an incomprehensible way. There was no tremor, no roar, but a deeper collapse was taking place—
"True Annihilation Domain... Unfold."
There was no sound, yet it was as if all existence was pronounced at the same moment.
The space beneath their feet suddenly became "soft," yet it wasn't soft; rather, it lost the logic that supported the act of "standing." Qin Yu felt his "position" beneath his feet dissipating. He was no longer sure where he was standing, or even whether the act of "standing" was still valid.
The surrounding air began to peel away into fragments. These fragments were not gases, but rather pieces of torn "structures of existence," floating in the field of vision like shattered lenses, only to vanish into nothingness in the next instant.
Even more terrifying is that consciousness begins to be eroded.
A rare tremor flashed in the eyes of the Void Finality Saint Emperor. The light of the end around him was silently compressed. The light itself did not dissipate, but it lost the meaning of "stripping," as if the concept of "target" it was attached to had been removed, causing the divine power to lose its object.
At this moment, the Dao foundation within the body of the Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor experienced violent fluctuations. He clearly felt that his cultivation system was being redefined, the concept of "Dao" was being dismantled layer by layer, and the power of annihilation was even beginning to erode him in reverse.
Meanwhile, the Abyss of Annihilation between the brows of the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor trembled slowly. The power that could freeze time and cause and effect now seemed to have fallen into an abyss where time Does Not Exist, unable to find an "object to be judged".
The oppressive aura enveloped the creature, transcending the barriers of power and reaching the very source of the laws, mercilessly crushing it. The creature slowly raised its hand.
There were no supernatural fluctuations, but the four of them simultaneously felt their own "existence" being compressed by an inch, just an inch.
However, it caused his soul to tremble violently, cracks to appear in his Dao foundation, and even a brief blankness in his consciousness.
The Void Finality Saint Emperor gritted his teeth and roared, "This is not a domain... this is dragging 'existence itself' into its rules!"
The Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor's expression changed drastically. "Our divine abilities... are simply impossible to establish under its rules!"
The Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor's voice was deep and resonant. "The True Annihilation Realm · Supreme... it is no longer 'within existence and non-existence,' but rather it is devouring non-existence and non-existence..."
The next instant—that being took another step forward, and the entire domain suddenly contracted, putting all four of them at a complete disadvantage.
At that very moment, Qin Yu suddenly looked up. He didn't look at the creature, but rather at the collapsing "structure of rules" around him.
In his eyes, there was no fear, only Ultimate calm and strategic thinking, "Stop trying to fight with your own supernatural abilities."
His voice was extremely low, yet it resonated simultaneously in the minds of the three emperors. "We are not 'fighting it' now, but rather 'having the rules rewritten by it'."
The three emperors were simultaneously shaken. Qin Yu took a step forward. This step no longer relied on space, but forcibly constructed an "anchor point of existence" with his own Fate Soul. There was no place to land under his feet, but he was able to stabilize himself.
The next instant—he slowly spread his hands, "I will reshape your attack order." The moment his words fell...
Qin Yu's Fate Soul power suddenly unfolded, and within the entire True Annihilation Domain, an extremely thin "line of logic" was forcibly pulled out. It was not energy, nor rules, but a more fundamental "structural connection."
He didn't attack the enemy. Instead, he first connected with the Three Sovereigns. "The Void Finality —you are responsible for stripping away its reflection of the outside world."
"Primordial Dao-Extinguishing - You only dismantle its 'manifested rules,' do not touch its core." "Eternal Annihilation - You lock the time nodes, do not destroy its essence."
In that instant, the three emperors fully understood, and the next moment, all four of them moved simultaneously.
The Void Finality Saint Emperor no longer locked onto the enemy, but instead spread out the Light of the End, like an invisible film covering the entire edge of the battlefield, directly severing the "connection between the domain and the outside world"; the Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor roared, and the Dao-Extinguishing Ripple no longer targeted existence, but precisely bombarded those fragments of rules that were constantly being reconstructed.
He dismantled it piece by piece; the Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor stood with his eyes closed, the Abyss of Annihilation unfolded, but he no longer slew, instead locking the "flow of time" into an extremely short cycle node.
At that very moment, Qin Yu made his move, "Three Forms of Fate Construction - Existence Erasure."
This technique does not target tangible enemies, but rather the logical breakpoint where the three supernatural powers converge, generating immense power from nothing.
In the next instant, the four forces Return to One, not superimposed, but forming a local core of rules to counter the True Annihilation Domain. Boom!!!
A tiny area was forcibly "expanded" within the True Annihilation Domain.
In that region, time flowed again for a fleeting moment, rules were re-established for a fleeting moment, and existence... was stabilized again for a fleeting moment.
The four people stood firm at the same time, even though it was only a very small area.
But this was the first time they had stopped in the True Annihilation Domain; for the first time, the movements of those beings ceased.
Its distorted "face" slowly turned towards Qin Yu as if it were truly "seeing" him for the first time. The air froze, and the next moment, an even more terrifying pressure was brewing.
