The moment Qin Yu confronted that soul being, before the world could even breathe again, the being slowly raised its hand, without any killing intent or fluctuation, as if it were merely casually pointing a finger at the collapsed Primordial Chaos Source Beast.
A faint light appeared on the fingertip. The light was not dazzling, but it plunged the entire battlefield into an eerie silence, as if everything was meant to return to its place, as if the shattering was merely a temporary illusion.
"Myriad Phenomena Reconstruction." Before the words were uttered, the laws had already begun to move.
A wisp of milky white light silently shot out from its fingertip, like an invisible thread of cause and effect, directly penetrating the core of the shattered beast.
In the next instant, countless tiny threads of light exploded and spread instantly, covering the entire battlefield like a spider web. Every shattered bone, flesh, fragment of Annihilation Structure, and even the fragments of Fate Soul that had been suppressed and pulverized by the Three Emperors were precisely targeted.
Time suddenly reversed, but not the entire world turned upside down; rather, it was solely directed at the cause and effect of the "collapse and destruction" that had just occurred, forcibly revoked by an unparalleled power. The shattered fragments returned to their original positions one by one, and all traces of destruction were traced back, as if that destruction had never happened at all.
The fragments are beginning to return.
The bones were pieced together in reverse, and the broken joints emitted a deep and clear "crack" sound, as if a sleeping ancient god was reshaping itself; flesh and blood flowed back, and fibers intertwined, like countless threads weaving a new body in the void; broken scales emerged from nothingness, covering the body again, exuding a heavy and primal pressure.
Even more terrifying was the Fate Soul that had been nearly torn apart by the Three Sovereigns.
One by one, the fragments of souls scattered in the Void Evolution Layer were "fished back" by the light threads, like retrieving sunken stars from the abyss, piecing them back together, and reconstructing them into a complete existence structure. Even the originally broken causal lines were stitched back together at this moment, as if that destruction had never happened.
The entire process was devoid of sorrow or joy, pain or struggle; there was only an absolute, transcendent "it should be so." Thousands of light threads quietly converged in the void, eventually gathering together and returning to stillness.
Gathering at the beast's heart, a glimmer of light sank into the next instant, and the beast opened its eyes with a deafening roar!
The overwhelming pressure exploded once again, as if a primordial being had just awakened from an ancient slumber. Its aura was purer and more complete than before, and the traces of "being destroyed once" had completely disappeared. It even faintly showed a trace of the original resistance of "returning to the origin".
The three emperors' expressions changed instantly. The Void Finality Saint Emperor suddenly stepped forward, his aura of the End exploding. "Damn it!! It's reconstructing its Fate Soul!!!"
The Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor roared, his Primordial Chaos Power surging wildly. "It absolutely cannot be allowed to complete!!!"
The Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor's gaze was like a knife. He took a step forward, his voice as cold and deep as a funeral bell. "Quickly—launch the attack immediately!!!"
The three emperors attacked simultaneously, unleashing the combined power of the Light of the End, the Order Adjudication Annihilation, and the Cause and Effect of Annihilation, which traversed the heavens and earth, directly targeting the still unstable core of the giant beast.
However, just as the attack was about to strike, an invisible and intangible transparent barrier appeared out of thin air. It did not block or withstand the attack head-on, but rather used the power of supreme rules to completely isolate the entire attack.
The moment the Three Sovereigns' divine powers touched that boundary, they seemed to fall into another dimension, completely stripped of their "relationship of action." All their power dissipated on its own in front of the boundary, without even producing a tremor.
The Void Finality Saint Emperor's eyes blazed with fury. "What is that?!"
The Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor gritted his teeth and growled, "It's protecting it!!!"
The Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor's gaze turned icy. "No... it's not 'protect,' it's—interference is not allowed."
Qin Yu spoke slowly, his voice not loud, yet it was like a sword striking the Three Emperors' sea of consciousness. "Use your essence blood." The Three Emperors were shocked.
Qin Yu's gaze swept into the depths of that space, his Fate Soul precisely locking onto that deeper layer of Annihilation-Construct Logic: "The inheritance here has not been severed. This barrier does not belong to it, but to the origin of this world... Use your essence blood to activate the inheritance, and break it with the power of the inheritance."
The three emperors instantly understood.
The Void Finality Saint Emperor made the first move, pointing a finger at his own brow and suddenly tearing open a rift of the end. A drop of jet-black blood, like the end of the world, was forced out. As soon as that drop of blood appeared, the surrounding space instantly darkened, as if the end of everything was pronounced in advance at this moment.
He tossed his essence blood into the void, but there was no reaction. The essence blood floated, unresponsive. The Void Finality Saint Emperor was stunned. "How could this be—?"
The Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor's eyes narrowed, and he instantly spoke, "Second brother, you come too!"
Without further hesitation, the Primordial Dao-Extinguishing True Emperor shattered his own blood and qi with a single palm strike. A drop of essence blood, a mixture of gold and black containing the origin of Primordial Annihilation, was forced out and hung in the void at the same time as the essence blood of the Void Finality Saint Emperor.
Two drops of essence blood, one black and one gold, stood facing each other in the void, trembling violently. The next instant, a sudden change occurred—a deep hum resounded between heaven and earth, not a vibration that could be felt by the physical body, but a silent response originating from the root of laws and the depths of cause and effect.
In the void, an extremely ancient Annihilation Structure pattern slowly emerged. The pattern was not carved, but appeared on its own from the "bottom layer of existence," as if the true face of this area was being revealed at this moment.
Two drops of essence blood began to slowly rotate—not because they were attracted, but because they were "recognized." Immediately afterwards, a third aura quietly emerged.
That wasn't a burst of divine power, but rather a profound response from the source of inheritance. The causal chain of the entire region was frantically rearranged, and the vast spiritual energy flowed back against the current. Deep beneath the Void Evolution Layer, the outline of an incomparably enormous and ancient being was slowly awakening. Qin Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened.
The Eternal Annihilation Heavenly Emperor also looked up at the same time. In an instant, the two of them realized that this was far more than a simple inheritance; it was something deeper and more ancient... the remnant will of an ancient emperor.
In that instant, the aura of the soul in the void momentarily faltered almost imperceptibly. For the first time, a very subtle fluctuation appeared in its pupils, which were like an abyss of eternal death. It seemed to sense a disturbance from Qin Yu that did not belong to this level of existence. It ceased to observe; though its body remained still, the entire battlefield was already enveloped by its will invisibly.
A highly concealed yet deadly ripple of Order Adjudication was gathering, clearly preparing to intervene and thwart all variables. Qin Yu stood rooted to the spot, his gaze calm to the point of ruthlessness. He didn't even give his opponent a chance to react. With a single thought from the depths of his Fate Soul, he awakened the long-dormant entity. The next moment, the space above his right shoulder rippled gently like water, and an exquisitely crafted starlight wheel silently condensed.
Xiao Yue stood there quietly, her figure only a dozen centimeters tall. Her long, star-blue hair cascaded down like flowing light, a crescent-shaped silver ornament on her forehead swayed slightly, and her eyes, like stars slowly rotating in the deep sea, were surrounded by a halo of delicate chains that gently floated around her. As soon as she appeared, she tilted her head slightly.
His gaze fell upon the soul being, his tone carrying a hint of surprise and a touch of amusement. "Ah, isn't this the Primeval Stillness Soul Divine Radiance...? He's actually appeared here."
With that resounding crash, it seemed as if an invisible rift had been gently torn open between heaven and earth, and the aura of the Stillness Soul Divine Radiance instantly subsided. Without any hesitation, it raised its hand, its five fingers Empty Grasp, and the entire space instantly lost all color.
It transformed into a still, unblemished gray-white realm, where five translucent chains silently materialized between its fingers. These chains had no patterns, yet the instant they appeared, they reflected the images of countless souls, as if every being touched by them had left a trace of cessation within them. It didn't speak, nor did it make any unnecessary movements; with a mere gentle grip, the chains vanished, and in the next instant...
Before Qin Yu's brow, space seemed to be skipped directly, and five chains silently pierced through all obstacles, heading straight into the core of his consciousness.
There was no pain, no shock, only a sudden "blankness" that exploded inside my body.
That wasn't suppression, nor was it a seal; it was a more thorough severance. Before consciousness could even begin to operate, before thought could even form, before emotions could even surface, everything was directly reduced to zero at the level of "not even beginning."
Qin Yu's gaze instantly lost its dynamism, his pupils froze, his breathing continued, and his Fate Soul was still functioning, but all of that was merely a "shell of existence." It was as if his entire being had been ripped out from within, becoming a being that was still alive but no longer "had a self." Faint gray-white mist seeped from between his seven orifices, swirling within his body and condensing into tiny, illusory chains that gradually sank into the depths of his Fate Soul, completely sealing off all levels of consciousness.
Stillness Soul Divine Radiance watched this scene silently, without emotion; it had simply completed a task—a Lock of Eternal Silence.
However, at that very moment, Xiao Yue sighed softly, as if she had witnessed something unsurprising. Instead of panicking, she extended a tiny finger and gently tapped Qin Yu's shoulder.
A star-blue light spread like ripples on water, and her voice became extremely soft, yet carried an ancient and profound quality completely disproportionate to her size. "Use this level of lock... to lock him? Didn't you see what he was?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the stars in Xiao Yue's eyes suddenly accelerated, and rings of pale blue light spread out deep within her pupils. These were not simple lights, but pure "logical fault lines." Her finger lightly traced a line in the air.
An almost invisible thin line pierced through Qin Yu's brow. The line didn't touch the chain, but instead landed directly on the "definition layer" to which the chain was attached. The next instant—
The chains did not break, but in an instant, they completely lost their meaning as "locks".
It was as if the proposition of "eternal imprisonment" had been stripped of its fulcrum at this moment. The chains remained, but could no longer point to the "imprisoned." They began to vibrate slightly in Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, as if unable to find a foundation to cling to. Xiao Yue's fingertips trembled again.
A deeper ray of starlight suddenly pierced through, the original Order Adjudication of the Blue Ring Power, directly entering the core of the soul's definition, cutting the "locked" state itself out of Qin Yu's logic of existence.
The next instant, Qin Yu's pupils suddenly resumed their fluctuations—his consciousness returned, not that he was awakening, but rather that it was as if it had never been interrupted.
The illusory gray chains within his body instantly disintegrated, as if a shadow had been stripped of its support. The mist between his seven orifices swirled back. The entire process was without explosion or tremor; it simply and quietly "failed."
As if the lock-on had never happened, Xiao Yue gently patted his shoulder, her tone light and teasing. "This kind of thing is okay for dealing with ordinary souls, but for you... it's far from enough."
Qin Yu did not respond to her joke. His gaze had already returned to the Stillness Soul Divine Radiance. In that instant, a very subtle but clear change appeared deep within his Fate Soul. He had indeed been touched to a certain boundary, and the existence of that boundary made him truly face the level of the opponent in front of him for the first time.
On the opposite side, the Stillness Soul Divine Radiance finally moved almost imperceptibly; for the first time, its gaze, as still as an ancient abyss, slightly narrowed. It clearly sensed that its supreme divine power was not broken by brute force, but rather by... direct negation.
