The Myriad Stillness Heavenly Punishment Formation
The Silent-Crying Kite finally let out its first cry. The moment that sound appeared, the entire structure of the Blank Rift Valley was thrown into chaos. There was no roar, no sound wave, not even any air vibration, yet everyone's Fate Soul trembled violently at the same time.
A near-transparent sonic pattern slowly spread from between the wings of the Silent-Crying Kite. The sonic pattern was not like a sound, but more like the echo of something "forgotten". As the cry spread, the entire Fate String Mystic Liquid Lake instantly began to rotate in reverse. Countless dark silver string shadows collapsed wildly, the spatial structure above the lake continued to collapse, and a large number of cracks spread out like a spider web.
The mouths on the wings of the Silent-Crying Kite opened simultaneously, countless mouths silently uttering different names. These names, like some kind of curse, pierced directly into everyone's consciousness. The next instant— the Chi Lineage's group was completely thrown into chaos. "I... what kind of supernatural power was I just about to unleash?!"
One disciple's pupils suddenly dilated, and he looked down at his hands in horror. Although the Limitless Evolving True Flow was still circulating in his body, the Fate Soul structure related to supernatural powers in his mind was rapidly collapsing. Another disciple had just raised his hand to form a hand seal, but his hand suddenly froze halfway through.
He forgot, forgot how to connect the next life rune. Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth... more and more disciples began to look bewildered. Some even forgot how to activate their own natal artifacts. Vast bursts of divine power exploded uncontrollably in mid-air, boom!!!
A defensive Fate Soul structure suddenly collapsed, shattering a large area of space nearby. Several disciples were thrown back by the shockwave, coughing up blood. Shen Qingchen also abruptly stopped in mid-air, his breathing becoming erratic. Just as the Silent-Crying Kite spread, he suddenly heard a voice, "Qingchen..."
The voice was soft and gentle, yet it seemed to have traveled through countless years and suddenly rang in his ears. Shen Qingchen's body trembled violently. It was someone who had been dead for many years, but he couldn't remember who it was. "Qingchen..." the voice rang out again, getting closer and closer, more and more real.
Shen Qingchen's vision blurred, the Blank Dao Scroll began to turn pages on its own, and numerous life runes collapsed. A blurry image even began to appear in his mind. A woman stood in the snow, looking back at him, but her face remained indistinct; only her eyes were visible. Sadness. Tenderness. And despair. "You finally... are you willing to come back...?" And that was her younger sister Shen Mengling...
Boom!!! Shen Qingchen's sea of consciousness trembled instantly, and he slowly walked towards the lake. "Shen Qingchen!" Su Qingyuan's expression changed drastically. She sensed something was wrong at a glance. In the next instant, the Sheathless Blade in her hand suddenly vibrated, and a snow-white blade light exploded. Su Qingyuan took a step forward, her long hair suddenly flying in the storm. She pressed her right hand with her fingers together on Shen Qingchen's brow, and her other hand gripped the hilt of the Sheathless Blade tightly.
"Pre-Origin Spirit-Awakening Art - Sever Delusion!" Boom!!! A large number of snow-white Fate Soul patterns instantly erupted from her fingertips. Those patterns spread wildly like ice and snow, and an extremely sharp sword intent directly rushed into the depths of Shen Qingchen's sea of consciousness. In an instant, the snow scene in Shen Qingchen's mind suddenly shattered, and the woman's figure began to blur. "Qingchen..." She seemed to want to continue saying something, but the next moment.
Countless snow-white blade patterns had completely shattered the illusion. Boom— Shen Qingchen suddenly awoke. He was drenched in cold sweat, gasping for breath, his eyes still gleaming with horror. "I... I just..." Su Qingyuan gripped his arm tightly, her voice trembling noticeably for the first time: "Don't listen to its voice!" "It's exploiting the deepest cracks in your memory!"
Shen Qingchen stared at Su Qingyuan's slightly reddened eyes and finally snapped out of his daze. He gripped the Blank Dao Scroll tightly, veins bulging on his forehead. "Damn it..." Meanwhile, the entire Chi Lineage team was becoming increasingly chaotic, with many disciples even forgetting their own names. Upon seeing this, Chi Jun's eyes blazed with fury.
"Wake up, all of you!!!" Boom!!! He took a sudden step forward, and the primordial aura of the True Annihilation Realm · Initial Stage erupted instantly. A vast expanse of gray-gold Limitless Evolving True Flow surged from his body like a raging sea. In the next instant, his hands suddenly formed a hand seal. "Divine Power— Fate Soul World-Shaking Bell!!!" Rumble—
The void suddenly cracked open, and a magnificent ancient bell appeared from the sky with a thunderous roar. The bell was forged entirely in dark gold, its surface engraved with intricate and interwoven Fate Soul patterns. Each pattern burned with radiant chains of primordial energy. Chi Jun's eyes were bloodshot, and he pressed down heavily with both hands, roaring fiercely, "Wake up!!!"
Thump--!!!
The powerful bell tolled, shattering heaven and earth. This resounding sound reached the Fate Soul Nucleus, shaking every inch of their divine soul foundation. In an instant, a vast golden wave swept across the entire rift valley. The bodies of the disciples who were in a state of confusion trembled violently. The blankness in some people's eyes quickly dissipated, while the Fate Soul structure on the verge of collapse was forcibly stabilized, and the crumbling foundation of their origin was held in place.
Even the ripples of oblivion spreading from the Silent-Crying Kite were briefly dispersed by the bell's ringing. Chi Jun stood at the forefront, panting heavily, blood slowly trickling down his chin. Yet he remained fixed on the Silent Silent-Crying Kite circling above the lake, while the Silent-Crying Kite's dark, empty eyes finally locked onto Chi Jun.
The second cry of the Silent-Crying Kite crashed down, this attack breaking free from the shackles of memory and pointing directly at the most fundamental true name of the Fate Soul of all living beings.
Above the lake, the circling, transparent divine bird suddenly froze, its wings outstretched to the Ultimate, spreading across the sky. The countless tiny lips covering its wing membranes trembled in unison, slowly tearing apart in Ultimate pain. Silence reigned between heaven and earth, yet the Fate Soul structure of the entire Blank Rift Valley twisted and trembled violently at this moment.
A completely transparent ripple slowly spread outwards. Wherever the ripple passed, the "names" deep within everyone's Fate Soul began to blur. A disciple of the Chi Lineage suddenly changed his expression. He was horrified to discover that he had forgotten his own name. Immediately afterward, the name imprint on his Fate Soul began to collapse, and the Limitless Evolving True Flow around him dissipated wildly.
Another disciple was in an even more miserable state. He had just opened his mouth to remind everyone, but the moment his mouth opened, even his "language" began to crack, because he could no longer confirm "who he was." A large number of Fate Soul fluctuations instantly became chaotic, and a large number of distorted names even began to appear in the sky above the entire Blank Rift Valley. Those names were as if they were forcibly erased by an invisible hand, and large numbers of original characters continuously turned into grayish-white powder and scattered.
Shen Qingchen's body jolted violently. He suddenly felt his name rapidly receding from his soul, as if someone was erasing the three characters "Shen Qingchen" stroke by stroke from the depths of his Fate Soul. At that very moment— Chi Jun roared, "Everyone, protect your Fate Soul!!!" Boom!!! His right hand suddenly plunged into the storage crystal core, and in the next instant, a dark golden bead was fiercely pulled out by him.
The bead was only the size of a fist, but inside it were sealed countless burning names. Those names were constantly flowing, each one seemingly alive. This Chi Lineage's Primordial Spirit Treasure — the Myriad Names Soul-Returning Pearl.
Chi Jun's eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged on his forehead. He stared intently at Silent-Crying Kite, his roar echoing through the rift valley, "You want to erase the Fate Soul name of my Chi Lineage disciple?!"
"Dream on!!!" Boom!!!! He suddenly clenched his five fingers, crushing the precious pearl in his palm. The pearl exploded, and thousands of names broke free of their restraints, soaring into the sky. These phantoms were all pure Fate Soul imprints. In an instant, billions of golden life patterns spread across the rift valley sky, and a vast river of Fate Soul hung upside down in the sky. Countless names burned brightly, trembling violently. Each imprint burst forth with intense and dazzling primal light, covering the entire world.
The next instant, the "name erasure ripples" that Silent-Crying Kite had spread out were shattered by force. With a rumble, the moment the two forces collided, the entire Fate String Mystic Liquid Lake suddenly began to tremble violently. Then, crack, a crack suddenly appeared in the center of the lake, followed by a second, a third, a fourth... The entire lake began to shatter like a mirror.
Countless dark silver cracks spread wildly, and then, boom! The lake surface exploded completely, sending a massive amount of Fate String Mystic Liquid soaring into the sky. In the deepest part of the shattered lake—a true figure finally rose slowly. It was the true form of the Silent-Crying Kite. It was only three feet in size, but the moment it truly appeared—the entire sky of the Desert of Forgetting darkened. Its feathers were completely transparent, as if they were made of countless layers of crystal space. When light passed through its body, space itself was distorted.
The moment their wings fully unfurled, everyone felt a chill run through their bodies, their minds trembled violently. Countless tiny lips covered the surface of their wings, and thousands of mouths slowly opened and closed in unison. Silence reigned all around, but within their minds, long-buried names began to surface one after another: close family members, dear friends, and acquaintances who had perished countless ages ago, as well as their own long-buried past.
The bird's eyes transformed into two deep, dark voids, devoid of any light or shadow, and Does Not Exist of any intent to gaze intently. The moment one's gaze met its eyes, thoughts abruptly shattered, and the previous moment's ideas vanished without a trace. It hovered silently high above the rift valley, an invisible and eerie aura spreading out in layers.
Like a mournful cry that keeps forgetting itself, the entire Blank Rift Valley began to fall with grayish-white sand. All of that sand was a forgotten name. When Chi Jun saw Silent-Crying Kite's true form, his expression finally changed completely, and he turned around abruptly.
The sound shook the heavens and earth. "Chi Lineage disciples!!!" "Immediately activate the killing formation!!!" Boom!!!! Eleven Chi Lineage disciples roared at the same time. The next instant, everyone unleashed their source power at the same time, and a large amount of Limitless Evolving True Flow swept across the heavens and earth like a raging sea. Shen Qingchen took a step into the air, Blank Dao Scroll directly unfolded a thousand feet, and countless blank life patterns on the Dao Scroll began to burn.
Su Qingyuan's long hair danced wildly as she finally drew her Sheathless Blade for the first time. Clang—a streak of snow-white blade light instantly pierced the rift. The other disciples also frantically formed hand seals, and a large number of Fate Soul structures intertwined rapidly in the air, with one golden chain after another soaring into the sky. The entire Blank Rift Valley began to tremble, and then all the chains connected at the same time.
With a thunderous roar, a colossal array slowly unfolded in the sky. The Chi Lineage Killing Array— the Myriad Stillness Heavenly Punishment Formation —covered an area spanning thousands of miles. At its center was a slowly rotating black-gold life wheel, while eleven enormous divine soul phantoms floated around the array's perimeter, each wielding a different form of primordial weapon. The sky began to crack. The earth began to sink, and the entire rift valley seemed to be forcibly dragged into another realm by this array.
Eleven disciples of the Chi Lineage roared simultaneously, pouring the Limitless Evolving True Flow into the core of the array diagram. In the next instant, the Myriad Stillness Heavenly Punishment Formation officially unfolded.
