Grayish-white sea fog churned between the cliffs, and muffled rumbling echoed from the depths of the distant Crystal Mountain Range. Large swaths of black pages continued to drift slowly down from the sky, each fall accompanied by the complete erasure of a corner of the world.
Qin Yu slowly raised his hands, solemnly clasped his hands towards the Southern Sea Annihilation Turtle, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
After he finished speaking, the slowly rotating Stillness Origin Return to Truth Pill in his palm flew forward. The moment the pill left his hand, subtle gray-white ripples appeared in the surrounding space, as if the heavens and earth themselves were instinctively avoiding the aura of this pill.
The Southern Sea Annihilation Turtle's gray-white beast eyes suddenly lit up. It slowly raised its giant claws and carefully held the pill, even its movements becoming much gentler.
The feeling was as if it were afraid that even the slightest force would damage this supreme treasure the moment the elixir fell into its palm.
The cracks that were spreading on the tortoise shell stopped spreading slightly, and the restless fluctuations of Fate Soul around them gradually calmed down.
The Southern Sea Annihilation Turtle gazed at the pill for a long time before finally exhaling a breath of grayish-white air. Then, it solemnly stored the pill into its internal primordial space.
After doing all this, it looked up at Qin Yu again. The indifference in its ancient beast eyes had noticeably faded.
"Young friend," I said, "Though we've only met once, your character has surprised me somewhat."
Its voice was deep, but no longer carried the scrutinizing quality it had before.
"Most cultivators in this world today are impatient, greedy, and arrogant; there are countless people who would abandon righteousness for personal gain. Yet, young friend, you have managed to remain calm and composed even in such a place."
It chuckled softly. "That's quite rare." Qin Yu simply clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, "Senior, you flatter me."
The Southern Sea Annihilation Turtle gazed at him, then suddenly spoke again. "Young friend," it continued, "if you truly succeed in plucking that Fate-Reversing Epiphyllum," "after you rescue your friend," "you may come to find me."
Qin Yu was slightly taken aback. "Senior, is there something else?" The Southern Sea Annihilation Turtle did not answer immediately.
It simply gazed slowly at the distant, crumbling Crystal Mountain Range. Then, it suddenly smiled slightly, and the next instant—BOOM!
A large expanse of sea fog suddenly exploded, and a huge gray-white rift quickly opened in space, into which the massive body of the Southern Sea Annihilation Turtle slowly disappeared.
Just before it completely disappeared, a deep voice suddenly entered Qin Yu's mind.
"Young friend." "I am the Primordial Beast Dao Divine Venerable from the hundred-mile-long lake surrounding the Crystal Mountain Range." "My name is— Southern Sea Annihilation Turtle."
"After you rescue your friend, you can come find me." "I'm here..." "There's a great opportunity ahead." "I'd like to discuss it with you."
The sound faded away, the spatial rift closed completely, and the surrounding sea fog returned to silence, leaving only the gray-white waves churning between the cliffs.
Qin Yu stood silently for a moment, then slowly looked up in the direction the Southern Sea Annihilation Turtle had left, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.
He simply turned around and sped off towards the "Cliff Abyss" on the map. But after flying hundreds of miles, Qin Yu suddenly paused slightly.
Within his sea of consciousness, a familiar Fate Soul fluctuation was constantly emanating from him; it was Chi Ninghua, and that aura was clearly fluctuating violently.
Qin Yu's gaze sharpened, and in the next instant, boom! His figure suddenly transformed into a black streak of light, directly changing direction and speeding towards the area where Chi Ninghua was located.
Meanwhile, on the eastern side of the Crystal Mountain Range, the entire area had already turned into a chaotic battlefield, with tens of thousands of Origin Divine Huang running wildly between the mountains.
A large number of Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang, occupied the high sky, their terrifying roars tearing the heavens and earth apart, and large swathes of the Crystal Mountain Range were directly smashed to pieces.
Crystal fragments flew wildly like a blizzard, and Chi Ninghua stood in the middle of a collapsed cliff, her long blue and white dress already stained red with blood.
But his eyes remained cold and sharp. Boom! An Origin Divine Huang, hundreds of feet in size, suddenly swooped down from the sky.
That was the instant a giant phoenix covered in dark gold bone spurs spread its wings, and a vast sea of golden and red fire directly covered the entire mountain range.
The surrounding crystal rock walls rapidly melted, but Chi Ninghua took a step forward, her jade hands suddenly forming a hand seal. Buzz--!!
A vast expanse of cyan-white Fate Soul domain instantly unfolded behind her, with large swaths of icy blue light patterns spreading wildly. In the next instant, countless ice crystal chains condensed from Fate Soul power suddenly shot into the sky.
Boom! The entire sea of fire was forcibly torn apart, and the Origin Divine Huang was pierced through its wings by dozens of chains, its mournful roar instantly resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
Before Chi Ninghua, the earth suddenly cracked open again with a deafening boom! A Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang, burst forth from the depths of the mountains.
The moment its entire body was covered in purplish-black crystal armor and its fists slammed down, the entire cliff exploded, sending countless boulders soaring into the sky. Chi Ninghua's eyes turned cold.
Her figure vanished in an instant, and the next moment she appeared high in the sky, her long hair dancing wildly, and the surrounding Fate Soul fluctuations surged wildly.
Boom! She pressed her hands down sharply, and a huge ice-blue magic circle suddenly appeared in the sky, with thousands of ice crystal spears descending in an instant.
Like a torrential downpour, it swept through the entire mountain range, instantly pinning the Origin Divine Huang to the ground, their blood and crystal fragments exploding wildly.
However, the beast tide was simply too large, and more Origin Divine Huang were constantly rushing out from the depths of the mountains, and the entire world had long been completely submerged by the roars and explosions of the beasts.
Chi Ninghua stood alone in the center of the sky, facing the seemingly endless tide of beasts.
Chi Ninghua stood in the center of the area already covered in blood and crystal fragments, her long blue-white dress billowing wildly in the gale. The ground beneath her feet had long since cracked into countless deep ravines, and the surrounding area was littered with the remains of Origin Divine Huang. Yet, the beast tide from the depths of the mountains continued to surge endlessly from afar. The sky was completely dyed blood-red by dark crimson beast fire, and tens of thousands of Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang roared deafeningly, causing the entire world to tremble incessantly with that terrifying sonic wave.
At that very moment, Chi Ninghua slowly raised her right hand, and the pale, Divine Sword of Silent Void finally appeared completely between heaven and earth. The instant the sword appeared, the space within tens of thousands of miles around suddenly trembled slightly, and then an indescribable stillness began to spread.
That wasn't quiet. It was a scene where all "fluctuations" were being forcibly erased. The raging sea of fire in the sky suddenly stopped. The exploding mountains in the distance suddenly froze. Even the earth-shattering roars of the Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang stopped abruptly in an instant. The entire world seemed to have been suddenly brought to a standstill by some invisible force.
Chi Ninghua's eyes were icy cold as she slowly swung her sword. "Divine Sword of Silent Void - First Divine Power, All Sounds Fall Silent." Whoosh! The instant the sword fell, there was no sword light, no roar, no strange phenomena in the heavens and earth, yet the entire world suddenly fell into an Ultimate eerie emptiness. The churning thunderclouds in the sky suddenly lost their color. The flames stopped burning, and the wind ceased.
The spatial rifts stopped spreading. Even the flow of time seemed to be frozen. Within a radius of ten thousand miles, all "fluctuation attributes" were forcibly stripped from heaven and earth. The rampaging Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang suddenly froze in place. The Fate Soul power that was flowing wildly in their bodies stopped instantly, and the ferocious light in their beast eyes quickly dimmed. Then, their huge bodies began to turn gray and white inch by inch.
Everything in the world was neither frozen nor petrified; only the fluctuations of existence itself were forcibly crushed to zero. Every wisp of breath, every tremor, every inch of flow was completely smoothed out, returning to absolute stillness. Even the traces of time seemed to freeze at this moment. Boom--!!! In the next instant, a large area of gray-white cracks suddenly erupted in the center of the entire beast tide. Countless Origin Divine Huang didn't even have time to scream.
Its body crumbled wildly like ink being wiped away, flesh, bones, Fate Soul, and origin all turning into silent ashes that scattered across the heavens and earth. Thousands of Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang, fell in large numbers from the sky. The moment their wings stopped flapping, their entire bodies split open in mid-air, turning into countless gray-white fragments.
The entire world fell into utter silence. There was no wind, no fire, no explosions; only a silent destruction was spreading wildly. The surviving cultivators in the distance watched this scene with deathly pale faces, barely daring to breathe. They could only watch helplessly as tens of thousands of Origin Divine Huang were wiped out in that absolute silence.
Vast mountain ranges seemed to have been flattened by an invisible giant hand, and the whole world seemed to be missing a piece. Shortly after Chi Ninghua's sword fell, a low rumble suddenly came from the deepest part of the beast tide again.
Immediately afterwards, boom! boom! boom! Five terrifying Fate Soul pressures descended upon the world at the same time. As soon as that power appeared, the entire mountain range began to shake violently. The still silent domain in the distance was forcibly torn open with large cracks. Chi Ninghua's pupils suddenly contracted. The next moment, five figures slowly stepped into the air from the depths of the beast tide.
At the forefront stood a bewitching woman draped in a long, dark blue dress. Her skin was pale, and her pupils were long and narrow like snakes. Behind her, countless enormous blue-scaled pythons slowly coiled, and her long hair danced in the air like poisonous mist. With each step she took, large patches of dark green poisonous patterns appeared in the space beneath her feet, as if the entire world was being eroded by her. Her snake-like eyes lightly swept over the surrounding mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and a sinister smile appeared on her lips.
The second figure was a black-haired woman with an eerie appearance. Hundreds of peacock feathers floated around her, each feather tipped with a bright green pupil. These eyes were constantly moving, staring intently at all living beings around them, as if a single glance would instantly drag Fate Soul into an endless illusion. She gently raised her head, a sickly smile playing on her lips.
The third figure was a white-haired youth. Two enormous water dragons swirled around him, his blue and white robes billowed in the wind, but his eyes were Ultimate cold. With each step he took, large patches of icy blue sea patterns appeared on the ground, and even the air was compressed into a cold White Frost mist.
The fourth figure was a man with long blue-green hair. Behind him unfolded a huge peacock feather wheel, each feather flowing with strange life patterns, like a slowly rotating eerie divine ring. Greenish-blue Fate Soul essence liquid dripped continuously from the curved blade in his hand.
The last figure was the most terrifying. It was a black-winged man whose body was wrapped in dark red lightning. He had twisted bone horns on his head, and his thousand-foot-long lightning wings slowly unfolded behind him. Large swaths of blood-red lightning under his wings tore the heavens and earth apart. He just stood there, and the surrounding space began to collapse continuously.
The five Primordial Beast Dao Divine Venerable, all fully transformed True Annihilation Realm · Supreme, descended. The air throughout the entire mountain range became incredibly heavy the moment they arrived. Some of the surviving cultivators in the distance even knelt down on the spot, their Fate Soul trembling violently, unable to even lift their heads.
Chi Ninghua gripped the Divine Sword of Silent Void tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white. She could sense that any one of the five Primordial Beast Dao Divine Venerable before her was enough to engage her in a true life-or-death battle.
But now, five of them had appeared simultaneously. She slowly raised her head, gazing at the five terrifying figures that blotted out the sky, and her heart sank slightly. "Damn it..." she murmured. "Although I have already entered the Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage..." "Facing five Primordial Beast Dao Divine Venerable..." "It's simply impossible to defeat them."
