Chi Jun finally detonated the first round of attacks from the Myriad Stillness Heavenly Punishment Formation. Boom! The entire Blank Rift Valley suddenly sank.
The Limitless Evolving True Flow of the eleven Chi Lineage disciples suddenly went berserk! The primal radiance surged wildly along the array's veins, like eleven vast rivers of Fate Soul spanning heaven and earth, all pouring into the black-gold life wheel.
The black-gold life wheel that was slowly rotating in the center of the array shattered inch by inch, with crisscrossing cracks spreading everywhere. A bone-chilling silence surged forth from the depths of the cracks. This supreme power of Annihilation could freeze the Fate Soul of all things in the world and seal the very foundation of all things in heaven and earth.
The sky began to shatter, and pieces of space peeled away like glass. A huge black vortex appeared above the rift valley. Deep within the vortex, the outlines of countless ancient weapons were slowly emerging: a broken celestial halberd, a blood-stained ancient bell, a spear burning with grayish-white life flames, and a black-gold giant sword of heavenly punishment that was ten thousand feet long.
Before the sword had even truly descended, the boundary rules of the entire Desert of Forgetting had already begun to collapse, with large numbers of sand dunes being crushed into grayish-white dust by the sword intent. Chi Jun's eyes were bloodshot, and his hands frantically formed hand seals, "Myriad Stillness Heavenly Punishment Formation - First Round of Suppression!!!" Rumble - the black vortex exploded completely in the next instant.
The colossal black-gold Heavenly Punishment Sword slowly descended from the edge of the sky. It was enormous; the entire Blank Rift Valley appeared as a scar before it. As the sword fell, countless Fate Soul essence appeared on its surface, each rune burning, each seemingly burying an ancient, slain powerhouse. Then, as the sword truly cleaved through the heavens and earth, utter silence fell. Boom!!!!!
The sword's edge pierced the rift valley, annihilating all space along its path. The entire Lake of Fate String Mystic Liquid was forcibly torn open, creating a bottomless abyss. A large amount of dark silver Fate String Mystic Liquid was blasted into the sky by the sword's pressure, making the entire Blank Rift Valley seem as if it had been pierced by a true sword of divine punishment.
Silent-Crying Kite suddenly took off, its wings unfurling with a roar. Its translucent, glassy feathers trembled violently, and the thousands of tiny lips on its wing membranes closed simultaneously. Its innate divine power, Ti Hun · Ming Wang, burst forth in an instant. The world fell into an unusual stillness, and the laws of sound were completely extinguished and rendered ineffective.
The Silent-Crying Kite slowly opened its beak. It was clearly crying, but no one could hear anything. Only an invisible "wave of negation" slowly spread. Wherever the ripple passed, everyone's sea of consciousness went blank at the same time. The Chi Lineage disciples trembled violently. Some of them were frantically channeling the Limitless Evolving True Flow, but the next moment they suddenly froze in place.
"I..." "Who am I..." A disciple's pupils rapidly dilated. He looked down at his hands, his eyes gradually changing from terror to confusion. His Fate Soul name was being erased. He wanted to call out his name, but no matter what he did, he couldn't remember it. He even began to forget the concept of "I".
The other disciple was in an even more miserable state. His lips trembled violently as he desperately tried to call out to his companions, but the moment the words left his mouth, even the "address" itself began to crumble. "You... you..." "Who are you..." His body gradually began to become transparent, like a wisp of smoke being forgotten by the world.
The mouths on the wings of the Silent-Crying Kite began to open and close silently, chanting names—names of the Fate Soul it had stolen. The causal structure of Fate Soul throughout the entire Blank Rift Valley began to go into a frenzy of chaos, and even Shen Qingchen felt his own name slipping away from him bit by bit, but in that instant...
Boom!!!!! The black and gold Heavenly Punishment Greatsword finally struck Silent-Crying Kite hard, and a large number of transparent feathers exploded instantly. A sword mark hundreds of feet long went straight through Silent-Crying Kite's right wing. The gray-white Forgotten Essence surged wildly. Silent-Crying Kite was truly injured for the first time. It suddenly let out an extremely shrill cry.
The cry finally resounded throughout the heavens and earth, causing the entire Desert of Forgetting to tremble. Chi Jun finally saw clearly that the Silent-Crying Kite's Fate Soul structure was extremely unstable. There was even a huge, unhealed crack on its chest, and deep within that crack, a large amount of grayish-white essence was constantly leaking out. It had been injured for a long time.
Moreover, it was an extremely serious injury. Chi Jun's pupils suddenly contracted, and the next moment, he roared violently. "Its Fate Soul essence is unstable!!!" "This beast was already severely injured before!!!" "It appeared here at the Water of the Myriad Evolutions Dao Source -- to use the Fate String Mystic Liquid to repair itself!!!" Chi Jun's eyes instantly ignited with a crazy killing intent.
He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Silent-Crying Kite. "Everyone!!!" "Pour all your source power in!!!" "Completely kill it!!!" Boom!!!! Eleven Chi Lineage disciples roared at the same time. "Yes, sir!!!" In the next instant, everyone's Limitless Evolving True Flow went completely berserk, and the Myriad Stillness Heavenly Punishment Formation truly began to enter its second round of killing mode.
The second phase of the Myriad Stillness Heavenly Punishment Formation was fully activated, and a deafening roar shook the surrounding area. The entire Blank Rift Valley collapsed rapidly inward, and the black-gold life wheel suspended between heaven and earth was torn apart. A deep abyss rift connecting heaven and earth was formed, and the ancient gray-gold Fate Soul fire flowed in the depths of the abyss. A vast and ancient battlefield was thus revealed in its entirety.
In the next instant, a figure slowly emerged from the depths of the ancient battlefield. It was ten thousand feet tall, its entire body covered in tattered black and gold ancient armor, with nine enormous soul-locking nails piercing its chest. It had no head, and a grayish-white life flame burned at the severed neck. In its right hand, it held a massive "Heavenly Punishment Halberd" powerful enough to cleave the rules of Realm-Splitting Domain.
The moment the ancient halberd was dragged out, the heavens and earth began to tremble and collapse. All the sand dunes in the entire Desert of Forgetting were suspended in mid-air, and countless forgotten ancient corpses knelt down before that being. The Myriad Stillness Heavenly Punishment Ancient Soul was the true killing core of the Myriad Stillness Heavenly Punishment Formation. It was an ancient formation spirit that was forged by the Chi Lineage countless eons ago from the Fate Soul of nine supreme experts of the Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme.
The moment it appeared, even Silent-Crying Kite truly felt the danger for the first time. Its transparent wings began to vibrate wildly, and the hundreds of tiny human mouths on its wing membranes twisted and opened at the same time. In the next instant, Silent-Crying Kite went completely berserk and directly unleashed its final Ultimate power. Eternal Silence of All Sounds, and boom—the entire world suddenly became quiet.
The sounds of heaven and earth dissolved layer by layer, and all sounds and thoughts in the world returned to nothingness. The Silent-Crying Kite soared to the peak of the Desert of Forgetting, and its crystal-clear glass wings suddenly shattered. Countless feathers flew and scattered, burning brightly in the void, and the gray and white sparks of Fate Soul spread across the sky, covering the entire firmament.
Meanwhile, the hundreds of mouths on the wing membrane opened simultaneously, crying out, but no one could hear them because the sound itself had been erased. The next instant, a "silent tremor" suddenly spread. Boom!!!!!! The wind disappeared, the sandstorm vanished, and the roar of the Myriad Stillness Heavenly Punishment Formation extinguished completely.
Even the Fate Soul vibrations caused by the flow of the Limitless Evolving True Flow within the disciples' bodies began to fall into deathly silence. Shen Qingchen's pupils suddenly contracted, and he suddenly realized that he could no longer hear his own heartbeat. Su Qingyuan's face was also pale. She opened her mouth to speak, but no sound could be heard at all. The whole world seemed to have been suddenly dragged into a deep sea of absolute silence.
Even more terrifying was that memories began to freeze, everyone's thinking slowed down, and they suddenly found themselves unable to form a complete sentence because their "inner language" was being erased. The entire Blank Rift Valley began to crack, and the waterfall-like Fate String Mystic Liquid exploded silently. Wherever the gray-white silent ripples passed, space no longer vibrated, the laws no longer operated, and the entire chain of cause and effect came to a standstill.
Everything seemed to have transformed into a painting that would never move, and the Silent-Crying Kite itself began to crumble. Its wings were the first to turn into grayish-white powder, followed by its body. Its two dark, hollow eyes finally gazed slowly at the heavens and earth, and for the first time, a profound weariness appeared in its eyes, like a bird that had finally forgotten all its names.
The next instant, its entire body began to completely disintegrate. At that very moment, Chi Jun suddenly looked up, his eyes now completely bloodshot, his Fate Soul essence burning wildly. Large amounts of blood flowed continuously from the cracks in his skin, but he seemed completely oblivious. He stared intently at Silent-Crying Kite and roared, "Quick!!!!" "Now!!!!"
Boom--!!! Eleven disciples of the Chi Lineage poured out their life essence to frantically activate the array technique, and the Myriad Stillness Heavenly Punishment Formation suddenly changed! Above the sky, the ancient soul, ten thousand feet tall, slowly raised its arm, holding the Heavenly Punishment Ancient Halberd, its vast power crushing the heavens and earth. At the core of its chest, an extremely terrifying pitch-black sun slowly rose, which was the Return to the Ruins Fate Nucleus compressed to the Ultimate and carrying endless nothingness.
Chi Jun suddenly formed hand seals, blood flowing wildly from the corners of his mouth. "Myriad Stillness Heavenly Punishment Formation-- " "Final Form: Annihilation Heaven Severing!!!" Rumble-- The black life core exploded instantly, a black-gold torrent of destruction that swept across the heavens and earth directly pierced through the entire Desert of Forgetting. Space was torn apart, time was shattered, and a large number of boundary rules broke like chains.
At that moment, the ancient soul, towering ten thousand feet tall, unleashed its true halberd strike. As the halberd fell, the entire world was cleaved in two. Before Silent-Crying Kite could even continue to spread its silent ripples, the destructive torrent had already pierced through its Fate Soul Nucleus. Boom! Silent-Crying Kite's entire body exploded.
Countless transparent feathers scattered wildly in the air, and hundreds of human mouths on its wing membranes simultaneously let out silent screams before being completely pulverized in the next instant. The black-gold torrent of destruction did not stop; it continued to pierce backward, and the tens of thousands of Blue Flame Demon Wolf behind it did not even have time to escape before their bodies began to collapse in pieces.
Large swarms of wolves were instantly vaporized, countless Fate Soul structures turned to ashes in the black-gold torrent, and the entire Desert of Forgetting was torn apart by this attack, creating a massive abyss hundreds of thousands of miles long. The sky collapsed, the sea of sand surged back, and the Fate String Mystic Liquid Lake trembled violently. Only after a long time did everything finally gradually quiet down.
Silent-Crying Kite had completely vanished, leaving not even a trace of her Fate Soul. The tens of thousands of Blue Flame Demon Wolves had all been annihilated, leaving only a large amount of scattered grayish-white embers in the air. The Chi Lineage disciples finally collapsed completely, some kneeling on the ground, panting wildly.
The disciples' hands trembled violently, their divine weapons teetering on the verge of falling. Several of Fate Soul, their faces ashen and devoid of color. Chi Jun knelt on one knee, his chest heaving violently, blood trickling from the corner of his lips.
After scanning the crowd and confirming everyone Anran, his tense mind finally relaxed. He let out a long breath, an Ultimate, weary smile appearing in his eyes. "Thank goodness... not a single one is missing..." He suppressed the surging pain within his body and ordered in a deep voice, "Immediately retrieve the vessels and collect all the Fate String Mystic Liquid. This place is extremely dangerous; we shouldn't stay any longer. Once we reach a safe area, everyone can rest and recuperate."
