Ten-Domain Realm Formation · Thunder Prison Mystic Gate
Boom--!
The sky was stained with blood, and the lightning domain collapsed!
Throughout the entire realm where the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate is located, the Thunder River overflows, and countless mountains float in the air. Crimson-gold Silent Lightning surrounds the billions of feet of thunderous barriers, like ten layers of Lightning Prison pressing down from the sky to guard the divine realm!
At this moment, all the disciples, elders, and battle spirit legions of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate stepped forward in their armor and stood in formation.
At the summit of the sect's main hall, three floating thunder platforms suddenly activated!
"Activate!"
With a furious roar, the Grand Elder of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate Sect activated all three hundred soul-patterned array pillars, creating a world-shaking soul array covering a hundred domains across the entire sect's territory.
--Silent Thunder Soul - Ten-Domain Realm Formation Diagram!
This array consists of ten layers of barriers, evolved from the Lightning Prison Reincarnation by the Silent Origin -level Soul Runes. Each barrier can suppress the enemy's soul consciousness, combat power, body, and even "Fate Soul perception."
This is the strongest protective defense of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate. Once activated, it signifies that the sect has entered a war of annihilation!
Shi Mingzhuoji Army - Black Flame Sweeping Realm
At the edge of the sky, where lightning stretched for thousands of feet, a corpse stood atop the burning ancient soul throne. Its soul fire was as black as ink, and its aura was as deep as an abyss. Step by step, it entered the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate!
--He is none other than one of the Eight Immortal Ancient Overseers: Shi Mingzhuoji!
He sat quietly on the Soul Bone Throne, raised his right hand, and whispered:
"The Soul-Burning Immortal Army, has appeared."
Boom!!!
Throughout the entire Nether Bone Airspace, an ancient military totem manifested and vibrated, from which an army of 100,000 skeletons emerged step by step, each step shaking the very space!
Clad in Netherbone Armor and wielding Soul-Burning Halberds, their soul flames burn with the "future of a thousand years," scorching not the enemy, but all the possibilities of the enemy's future!
--The Soul-Burning Immortal Army, born without fear of fate, for they have already offered their "future souls" as sacrifices!
First Battle Erupts: Lightning Prison Thunder Soul Team Makes its Debut
"First Thunder Domain, Soul-Collapsing Sky-Subduing Realm Formation —Activate!!!"
The Thunder Prison Mystic Gate Formation activated, and the Thunder Soul Elder of the First Domain, "Venerable Leiyang," leaped into the air. With a furious roar, countless layers of thunder surged forth, forming five Thunder Soul Killing Wheels that plummeted from the sky!
Within the Soul-Burning Immortal Army formation, a ghostly general clad in Soul-Locking Armor stepped out coldly. Before his figure even arrived, countless Soul Bone Flowers bloomed in the air, dreamlike and illusory, yet capable of devouring souls and shattering consciousness!
Boom!!!
The first wave of impact directly repelled Venerable Leiyang, shattering the Thunder Soul Battle Wheel!
"How is that possible!"
Venerable Leiyang's expression changed drastically, and his soul trembled violently. He felt that the Ghost Shadow General could see through all his battle tactics and the operation of the thunder array, as if he had already calculated his future and destroyed him!
This is the most terrifying aspect of the Soul-Burning Immortal Army —they know your future tactics and only need to burn away your potential path to victory to defeat you!
-
"We can't suppress them head-on... Deploy the Thunder Soul Stream Formation and detonate the Fifth Heavenly Domain!"
Another bolt of lightning shot out from the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate, Thunder Thunder Realm Thunderclap Elder "Ting Kongzhi" roared as he charged into battle, unleashing a torrent of lightning that poured out like a reversed Milky Way, slashing in the opposite direction towards the enemy's rear!
But the next second--
Shi Mingzhuoji, merely raising a wisp of "Soul-Burning Fire of the Future" in his hand and pointing it lightly.
Boom!!!
The entire lightning waterfall was distorted, and the future "detonation" was triggered prematurely!
"Cough--"
Ting Kongzhi up blood and staggered back. He hadn't expected that before he could even detonate the Thunder Soul Barrier, the Future Flame would cause that attack to dissipate "before he even made a move"!
The Soul-Burning Immortal Army can actually burn away "the intentions before the tactical launch"!
-
The Thunder Prison Mystic Gate Sect's defensive lines were shaken, and the entire sect's defenses were thrown into turmoil!
But this was merely a test by Shi Mingzhuoji's finger.
He slowly rose from his throne, whispering four words:
"Next step: wipe out the entire family."
The heavens are overturned, and lightning surges backward!
The first barrier of the Thunder Soul Realm collapsed abruptly under the scorching heat of Shi Mingzhuoji's "Soul-Burning Fire of the Future"!
--boom!!!
Like a wall of the sky suddenly shattering, in that instant, countless thunder spirits howled and cried out, falling from the sky in waves, turning into countless fragmented soul lights that fell into the dust!
"First Boundary Curtain, Break!!!"
A mournful war drumbeat resounded above the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate, causing the entire sect to tremble violently!
The elders of the Soul Array in Thunder Stele Mountain were horrified. They bit their fingertips and dripped blood to consecrate the array again, but they could not stop the collapse of the Soul Array!
And just as the lightning array collapsed—
The 100,000- Soul-Burning Immortal Army suddenly accelerated!
The soul flames on their bodies, like burning soul bone spurs, ignited the air and scorched through space, ignoring all the remaining power of the shattering lightning, and stepped into the second soul domain!
"Quickly!! Switch the formation layout and activate the Realm Veil Position-Reversal Formation!!"
The Thunder Prison Mystic Gate's array master roared, attempting to reverse the array diagram, causing the second boundary curtain to generate a repulsive wave.
But the next moment, Shi Mingzhuoji's "living future fire" reignited an ancient soul scroll!
On that soul diagram, what was clearly visible was the breaking trajectory of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate's "Ten-Domain Realm Formation Diagram"!
"He... he even burned away our entire formation sequence?!"
Lei Fengxuan, the elder of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate's array masters, was utterly shocked and could hardly believe the precision of that "preemptive array strike."
Meanwhile, on the battlefield ahead, the "Thunder Nether Battle Soul Army," the commander of the Second Soul domain of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate, was ambushed by the main force of the Soul-Burning Immortal Army!
The flames crashed to the ground, and the 100,000 Immortal Army surged forth like a tidal wave burning the city, causing repeated losses to the Thunder Nether Army's soul!
Thunderous General "Lei Duantian" roared, detonating his Fate Soul and summoning his Fate Soul weapon, the [Spirit-Extinguishing Lightning Tower], to bombard the enemy army!
Boom--!
But just as the Thunder Tower was about to land, Shi Mingzhuoji pointed his finger, and the Burning Soul of the Future reappeared!
"That was... the moment the Spirit-Extinguishing Lightning Tower exploded!"
--The Spirit-Extinguishing Lightning Tower exploded in mid-air, failing to hit the enemy but instead turning on its own side!
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Lei Duantian's soul shattered, and in his final moments, he saw—the eternally calm eyes of Shi Mingzhuoji, burning with the fire of the future.
Under the Sky - Thunder Prison Mystic Gate Main Array Platform
The deputy sect master of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate, "Venerable Tingzhan," clad in thunder bone battle armor, his face ashen, spoke in a deep voice:
"If this continues, even the Third Realm Curtain won't be able to hold!"
He suddenly bit his soul finger, summoning the sect-level restriction [Lightning Realm Soul Lock Diagram], and unsealed it ahead of schedule in the name of the sect leader, "Elder Tingjin"!
Boom boom boom--
Thirty-three Thunder Soul Pillars floated and swirled in the air, converging with billions of bolts of lightning, finally forcibly suppressing the Soul-Burning Immortal Army within the Second Realm Curtain.
At this moment, the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate caught its breath briefly and barely managed to stabilize its position.
But everyone knew:
--The Shi Mingzhuoji remained completely still.
This "Future Soul-Scorching Lord" among the Eight Immortal Ancient Overseers has so far only managed to suppress the Thunder Souls of the Ten Domains with a single wisp of soul fire!
"If he were to personally lead the troops..."
"Thunder Prison Mystic Gate - On the verge of destruction."
The elders of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate and the War Soul Force were all deployed, their soul blood splattering across the earth; while Shi Mingzhuoji on the Nether Bone Throne, a cold indifference in his eyes:
"I have seen your future."
"Boom--!"
The moment Shi Mingzhuoji slowly rose from the throne of the Nether Bone King, the entire sky of the Realm East Star Belt ignited!
That wasn't fire, but the fire of the "future"—
The strange soul flames, formed by the pre-ignition of soul consciousness, seemed to ignite the trajectories of fate across all timelines, with each wisp of soul fire corresponding to the "final moment" of a soul cultivator from the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate.
A silent spread, a harbinger of destruction.
But he only took one step.
"He's here!!"
On the main array platform of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate, the elders' Soul Sea instantly trembled, and one elder's pupils shrank sharply, frantically activating the Thunder Soul Realm Array Plate:
"Quickly!! All divine generals! Assemble and prepare for battle!!"
Moment--
Three powerful beams of lightning shot into the sky from the depths of the sect.
The three great generals of Lightning Prison have appeared!
Lightning Mirror Divine General Lei Yinyuan: Controls the Soul Mirror Thunder Realm, specializing in breaking Soul Arts.
Thunder Hunter Divine General - Xuan Liekong: Thunder Beast Soul Hunting Formation, shattering the enemy's soul structure.
Lightning Asura Divine General Feng Tianjin: Soul Shattering Domain, Severing Consciousness in a Single Thought, the Number One Swordsman of the Sect
The three of them appeared and immediately joined forces!
"Lightning Extreme Three Souls Formation - Activate!!"
Lightning flashed like a waterfall cascading from the heavens. The three divine generals merged their respective soul domains into one, transforming it into a gigantic Lightning Prison Shi Mingzhuoji!
"Die!!"
Beneath the Thunder Seal, heaven and earth were shattered, and even the ancient Thunder God's wails echoed throughout the realm.
Boom!!
However, Shi Mingzhuoji raised his eyes and only stretched out one hand.
The flame of the future leaps once more!
In an instant, a phantom simultaneously appeared deep within the souls of the three divine generals:
In the next instant, he was killed by the backlash of the lightning seal!
"This... this is impossible!!"
Lei Yinyuan roared, trying to forcefully regain his footing, when he saw a realistic projection of the future:
The Lightning Extreme Heavenly Seal exploded within the Shi Mingzhuoji, and its structural trajectory was preemptively locked by the Future Fire in space, thus—
--boom!!!
The Lightning Extreme Heavenly Seal shattered with a deafening roar!!
The three great generals, Xuan Liekong, Lei Yinyuan, and Feng Tianjin, suffered severe damage to their soul domains and physical bodies in an instant. They didn't even have time to be seriously injured, and their soul bodies could only turn into the afterimages of lightning in the air and quietly dissipate!
"The gods have perished!! All three gods have been annihilated!!"
Sect Main Battle Platform
The elders of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate were filled with rage, their eyes bloodshot. Venerable Tingzhan roared, blood raining down. "Everyone, switch from defense to offense! Join forces to seal off Shi Mingzhuoji's path forward!!"
However, just as they were burning their Fate Soul in preparation for a desperate fight—
Shi Mingzhuoji —ignored them.
He simply raised his eyes and looked at the third and fourth soul domains of the "Ten-Domain Realm Formation Diagram".
A slight touch:
"Your third Soul Realm was destroyed in five breaths by the 'illusion of your own failure'."
But before the words had even finished—
Five breaths have passed.
The third and fourth soul domains were destroyed with a deafening roar.
That wasn't the result of Shi Mingzhuoji's attack.
Rather, the array itself was burned into a failed structure by the "illusion of the future"!
The protective soul array of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate was cursed to death by the "Future Flame"!
At this point, four of the Ten-Domain Realm Formation Diagram have collapsed.
Without using any spells, Shi Mingzhuoji, relying solely on his soul fire and the power of future pre-scorching, instantly plunged the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate's millennia-old foundation into the abyss!
Shi Mingzhuoji eyes in the air and whispered:
"You still have six domains left."
"Boom--!"
Just as the Fourth Soul Domain collapsed, a series of cracking sounds echoed from the airspace surrounding the main mountain of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
That was the sound of the "Sect-Protecting Heavenly Chain" breaking!
--The Sect-Protecting Heavenly Chain, whose full name is [Nine Lightning Soul Defense Chain], was forged from the nine Lightning Prison Towers. It runs through the void above and below the sect and is used to stabilize the soul flow link between the soul meridian and the Ten-Domain Realm Formation Diagram. It is the sect's protective chain, which was forged and sealed by the first generation sect master of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate with his own soul!
"The fifth chain is broken!"
"The seventh chain has shattered too!!"
"The core protective chain is also crumbling!!"
Figures roared wildly on the main platform. The void above the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate was burned through by swathes of lightning flames and future soul fire. The black soul abyss descended from the sky, as if the entire Realm East Star Belt was about to be swallowed into the depths of hell!
Shi Mingzhuoji finally opened his second eye.
He smiled and raised his right hand, whereupon a strange soul sword appeared—its hilt like Black Bone, its blade shimmering with the light of [time erosion], and a single word fell into the void:
Soul Burning - Severing Senses Gray Blade.
"Your causal souls... are too fragile."
He slowly swung his hand down.
It did not strike any disciple, nor did it attack the sect's protective formation.
Instead... it directly strikes at the "future cause and effect" deep within the void.
The sword fell!
The Void Soul Realm —covered in the ashes of the "future"!
The fifth and sixth soul domains within the Ten Domains Array instantly had their Soul Foundation extinguished, returning to nothingness like dust!
The Thunder Prison Mystic Gate has lost six domains!
Within the soul chains, countless disciples were blasted away by the backlash. One soul chain after another collapsed amidst the lightning and soul fire, and the Sect-Protecting Heavenly Chain were severed from that moment on!
Main stage
That's enough.
Elder Tingjin has made his move!
Boom!!!
With a thunderous roar that shook the heavens, an incomparably tall thunder shadow rose from the Thunder Mountain Palace, bearing three thousand thunder magic inscriptions on its back, wearing a ten-thousand-soul thunder crown on its head, and with phantom images of thunder soul divine beasts swirling around its body, its oppressive aura sweeping across the surrounding area!
--This is none other than the current sect master of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate, a Silent Source Realm First Stage Perfection:
Elder Tingjin.
"Shi Mingzhuoji, I thought you only knew how to hide in the future. Today, I'll see if you can escape this blow from the 'present'!"
With a furious roar, Elder Tingjin clapped his hands together, and the thunder crown behind him shattered.
Three lightning orbs flew out; they were actually three ancient lightning soul cores that had been sealed away long ago!
"Thunderbolt - Seal of Silent Judgment!"
The entire main peak transformed into a realm of lightning, directly threatening the Shi Mingzhuoji!
Rumble!!
Thunder roared through the void, shaking the world!
Shi Mingzhuoji's expression remained unchanged; he simply raised his sword slowly.
The next moment--
The remnants of the Soul-Burning Immortal Army began their assault on Lightning Prison Main Mountain, burning their own soul consciousness and transforming it into countless streams of soul flames that rushed straight towards the core of the sect's source array.
The battle of Lightning Prison has entered its most crucial phase!
The entire Realm East Star Belt was torn apart into countless floating islands of ash by soul fire and lightning.
Above the main peak of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate, Thunder Crown Soul Palace, the Ten-Domain Realm Formation Diagram was torn open in three places at the end of the fourth section. The lightning patterns on its outer perimeter began to show signs of collapse and fluctuation, the lightning light gradually became unstable, and its momentum decreased by 30%.
This isn't a problem with the formation itself, but rather that human resources are simply insufficient to sustain it!
The Soul-Burning Immortal Army under Shi Mingzhuoji's command was like an inextinguishable torrent of soul flames, engulfing the entire Xuanmen from all directions. The giant shadows of those Soul-Fire Armored Warriors roared in the void, constantly smashing down heavy hammers, soul-burning claws, and chain halberds, bombarding every inch of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate's battle line.
"The Second Soul Tower is broken, and the Thunder Spirit Vein is completely destroyed!"
Lei Shuo, the guardian elder of the Eastern Region of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate, roared as he charged out from the broken rock pillar. His soul armor was shattered, and one of his arms was broken off by the Soul-Burning Giant Weapon, with blood splattering like rain.
"We... can't hold them off any longer!" His voice was trembling with tears.
In the air, a "Soul Burning Hundred Lord" from the Soul-Burning Immortal Army stepped out, his entire body surrounded by soul flames, and he actually condensed ancient soul-burning divine runes. With a single sweep of his spear, he beheaded three Realm Consciousness Realm disciples from the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate Profound Sect!
-
At the same time, the sound of arrays shattering also came from the Western Region and northern mountains of the Xuanmen!
Flickering black lines began to appear on the halo of lightning above the entire Xuanmen!
"Thunder Crown is about to collapse!"
Thousands of disciples held their ground, their bodies charred black and their souls trembling, but they still gritted their teeth and held on to the last barrier!
⸻
Throughout this hellish battle of attack and defense, Shi Mingzhuoji did not make a move.
He stood atop the fiery cloud platform behind the army, coldly surveying the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate as it gradually engulfed in flames, seemingly waiting for—a desperate Threshold point.
He was calculating that he would personally bury the Soul Seal Ancient Sect only when the last Soul Pillar collapsed.
"Not enough."
"You... aren't all dead yet."
He murmured.
⸻
At this time!
Elders from the Xuanmen sects launched a desperate counterattack, unleashing dozens of lightning spears and lightning soul-locking formations that pierced through the left flank of the Soul-Burning Immortal Army, forcing them to retreat a hundred feet!
The Thunder Prison Mystic Gate's counterattack has finally gained a brief respite!
The Western Region Guardian Elder, "Lei Jue," roared, "We fear no death, our thunder souls are immortal! Even if we transform into lightning and blood, we will burn you ancient soul scum to ashes!"
The Thunder Soul Pillar roared up from the ground, transforming into the Five Thunder Fury Seal, which suppressed and sealed the ten Soul Burning Army Lords!
But!
The next moment--
[Soul-Burning Giant Array - Body-Burning Locking Array] activated!
Shi Mingzhuoji secretly ordered five "Soul Burners" in the army to ignite their souls, sacrificing their future possibilities along with their memories of their past lives, summoning soul fire chains that fell from the void!
Each of these chains is imbued with the "flames of Causal Severance"!
Splash--!
The Soul Chain pierces through the Thunder Seal!
Lei Jue's body was pierced through three times, and he was frozen in the void. His sea of consciousness flashed with the memories of his cultivation over the past thousand years—all of them were melted away by the burning of the "Soul Fire Locking Cause"!
"My... thunder path..."
His throat trembled, his thunder soul shattered inch by inch, and in his last glance before his soul perished, he saw the Xuanmen Sect Master closing his eyes and sighing.
Shi Mingzhuoji whispers:
"The Seventh Realm Curtain, Break the Tower and Sever the Seal."
"The Eighth Realm will be the realm where your Primordial Spirit burn."
At the end of the Ninth Realm, Elder Lei Jue of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate perished, the Thunder Soul Seal broke, the Western Region Main Tower collapsed, and the entire sect's formation retreated another step. The advance of the Soul-Burning Immortal Army was already approaching the heart of the sect.
Outside the main hall, the Ninefold Thunder Soul Forbidden Array collapsed layer by layer, and fragments of spiritual light rained down.
The disciples of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate retreated to the Thunder God Platform, their remnant souls scattered everywhere, their blood like thunderous liquid. The sky was filled with Soul-Burning Battle Flag, each one reflecting the shadows and wails of the Thunder Prison Mystic Sect disciples.
At that very moment, the Thunder Dao Soul Source of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate began to tremble.
The long-silent Elder Tingjin slowly stepped out from the depths of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate!
The heavens and earth beneath his feet solidified into a surging tide of souls, accompanied by countless thunderbolts!
He was dressed in a greyish-white lightning robe, his figure as tall as an ancient lightning tree, his sideburns hanging down like lightning threads, and an ancient and majestic lightning mark appearing on his forehead.
His gaze fell upon the corpse of the last disciple guarding the Thunder Soul Tower —the mutilated remains of "Lei Shuo," his personally trained disciple...
A low, deep voice said, "... I'm late."
Like rolling thunder, it pierced through the entire Annihilation sky!
Elder Tingjin his palm and released the Thunder Lord's Silent Technique: Rift of Silent Abyss!
A divine lightning rune condensed in the heavens, forcefully shattering the vanguard of the Soul-Burning Immortal Army for a hundred miles!
The soldiers exploded in droves, their soul flames scattering like a shower of meteors!
Elder Tingjin's voice boomed out:
"Shi Mingzhuoji! You burned life with the soul of the future, connecting with the fire of soul causes. Today I will use 'Ten Thousand Thunders Return to Silence' to annihilate your eternal soul schemes!"
Before he finished speaking, he struck again!
Lightning Prison Master's Seal - Hundred Thunderclaps in Silence!
Countless lightning seals condensed into massive soul-sealing seals, causing the heavens to collapse and thunder to rumble, sealing off all escape routes for the Soul-Burning Immortal Army!
The morale of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate instantly surged! The disciples roused themselves, and amidst the crackling lightning, they briefly reclaimed several thousand feet of the front line!
"It's the Sect Master! The Ting Jin Sect Master has made his move!!!"
However!
The Shi Mingzhuoji, has finally revealed its true form!
His figure, clad in a grey-black soul robe, rose from the intersection of the nine Soul-Burning Divine Arrays, and whispered:
"The Lord of Thunder? Merely a soul's stillness."
In an instant!
Shi Mingzhuoji spread his five fingers, pointing towards the sky. Nine soul arrays connected in the void, activating the most terrifying battle formation of this attack:
The Soul-Burning Fire of the Future - Scorching Souls and Refining the Silent Realm!
A massive abyss of soul flames split open in the sky, seemingly burning the future of time to ashes. The flames reflected the shadow of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate's impending demise over the next hundred years!
This attack is a curse upon the future of the entire sect!
The Thunder Vein of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate, destined for the future, developed cracks under this formation. Dozens of young disciples lost their balance of consciousness, vomiting blood and fainting on the spot!
Elder Tingjin was furious:
You... you actually burned down the future of my sect!
But just as he was about to make a move, Shi Mingzhuoji transformed into a bolt of soul fire lightning, crashing head-on into his sea of consciousness from the void!
-
Boom!!!
Thunder Platform Soul Wall Collapses!
Elder Tingjin back a hundred feet, his chest split open, his gray hair stained with blood!
But he did not fall; he merely chuckled softly.
"Fine... you've finally decided to take action yourself."
The 100,000 disciples of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate, their fighting spirit like thunder, ignited once more towards the heavens!
Thunder roared down, and blood rained down on the towering thunder platform of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate.
Between heaven and earth, the flames of souls blotted out the sky!
Elder Tingjin stood suspended on the shattered thunder platform, blackish-purple soul blood constantly overflowing from his chest. These were the marks left by the "Soul-Burning Fire of the Future." His sea of soul consciousness was violently turbulent, and his divine consciousness was being burned like a thunder seal, no longer intact.
Before him, the soul flame body of Shi Mingzhuoji floated in the void, and behind him, nine soul-patterned Netherfire Banners slowly unfurled, each banner displaying the death of a soul-burned person from the past.
These ghostly figures surrounded him, as if the lamentations of the entire era had coalesced into a single "Curse Overlord."
⸻
The voice of the Shi Mingzhuoji was deep and shrouded in ashes.
"You are nothing but a remnant soul of the Thunder Path... yet you dare to dream of protecting a sect from destruction for a hundred years? I will use the Soul-Scorching Flame of the future to burn away the very thought that is in your veins!"
Having said that, he thrust out a palm! Soul-Burning Thought-Severing Palm—
This palm strike did not strike the physical body, but rather directly severed "all will existing in the future".
Elder Tingjin's chest lightning pattern was instantly crushed, and the "Soul Oath of Thunder" that protected the sect crumbled like paper!
In an instant, he was blasted back a hundred feet and crashed into the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate Profound Sect's Thunder Soul Stele. The entire stele shattered, and streaks of lightning representing the sect's origin scattered across the sky, announcing that the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate's Fate Soul belief was beginning to crumble!
"Metropolitan!!!"
All the Lightning Prison shouted in unison, their voices shaking the clouds, but they could not awaken Elder Tingjin, whose soul had been severed.
He lay beneath the monument, his soul robes stained with blood, his eyes blurred, and his breath fading into unconsciousness. Even someone as strong as the Silent Origin Initial Stage Realm was severely injured by Shi Mingzhuoji Ji!
Shi Mingzhuoji danced wildly like soul flames as he slowly rose to the top of the Thunder Soul Hall.
He gazed down at the last remaining disciples of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate and spoke coldly:
"From this day forward, the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate ceased to exist."
With a wave of his hand, nine Soul-Burning Banners flew out simultaneously, gathering in the air to condense into a final strike—
Soul Burning Immortal - Burning Thunder Destroys Sect
This attack was enough to burn the entire sect, along with its protective soul veins, to ashes and dust!
And at that very moment!
An unprecedentedly terrifying shockwave swept in from the crack in the distant thunder and mist!
A calm yet chilling voice pierced the sky:
"... Those who burn away the future should also have their causes severed."
In the next instant, a sword shadow as black as Silent Abyss silently descended onto the battlefield.
That was a divine sword... entirely black and gold, without any patterns or sharp edges, yet capable of swallowing the thoughts of all existence in the world!
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword has appeared in the world!
And appearing behind Shi Mingzhuoji was none other than— Qin Yu!
The winds and clouds shifted, and the heavens and earth shook!
Just as Shi Mingzhuoji was about to destroy the last soul vein of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate Slash, a deep and cold sword cry that transcended all logic of living beings suddenly resounded from beyond the nine heavens.
--Like a voice from the other side of the Silent Abyss, like the Ultimate negation that Sever Future!
The sword, even before it is drawn, already commands respect.
Shi Mingzhuoji's expression changed drastically. Before he could move, the nine soul fire battle flags around his body suddenly shook violently, and the light of the soul flames dimmed by half.
He suddenly turned his head and looked into the void, where he saw a black and gold light coming against the lightning, with a phantom of a thunder god overlapping with the sword soul's long cry from the abyss behind him—it was none other than: Qin Yu!
"It's him... the wielder of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword— "
Shi Mingzhuoji in shock. That was one of the forbidden divine weapons he had recorded in the Soul Burning Collection, but he never expected it to appear at the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate today!
In the next instant, Qin Yu took a step forward, his figure already soaring through the air to the front of Elder Tingjin's shattered Thunder Soul Stele. He looked down at the old man who had collapsed and fainted, his eyes icy cold.
"... You harmed our people."
His voice was calm yet chilling, like a judge's verdict.
Then, he slowly drew the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword —its black and gold blade devoured all soul pressure amidst the azure thunder, as if all the lightning bolts had returned to the sword's essence.
Swords were drawn!
The Soul-Burning Immortal Army Flame, trembled in the heavens!
I'll give you a chance.
Qin Yu's gaze remained calm as he looked at Shi Mingzhuoji, his divine sword slightly raised. "Explain your reasons... or else..."
He uttered four words:
"Sever the Cause, Preventing Birth."
Shi Mingzhuoji, enraged beyond measure, laughed, his soul fire exploding, and he condensed the Thousand Soul Burning Seal in his hand, pointing a finger at the enemy!
"You alone dare to say you've destroyed the spirit of my army?"
However--
Qin Yu's Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Second Form: Sever the Cause, Preventing Birth!
This technique, when unleashed, neither severs the enemy's body nor destroys their soul!
Instead, it directly eliminates the "cause" of the enemy's existence!
At the very beginning of all things, at the moment when all the reasons for "why you are who you are" emerged, Qin Yu directly extinguished the "logical cause and effect" that initially constituted existence!
At this moment, the "Soul-Burning Origin Fire Seal" that Shi Mingzhuoji had just released shattered instantly, as if its reason for existence had been erased.
Even his entire sea of consciousness—his past cultivation memories and his future plans—was completely blank!
He clutched his head in anguish!
"You... you severed... the very cause that led me to cultivate my soul?!"
"How... did you do that...?!"
Qin Yu took a step into the air, his divine sword pointing diagonally:
"You don't need to know, because you are not worthy of existing on the 'logic lines' of this world."
One sword—and it falls!
[Sever the Cause, Preventing Birth] has completely fallen!
All the soul fire within Shi Mingzhuoji's body began to collapse. The nine Soul-Burning Battle Flag couldn't be recalled in time and turned into ashes the moment the black and gold Sword Qi struck, completely erasing them from the causal chain of the world!
Even the memory of "having used it before" vanished from the world under Qin Yu's sword!
Shi Mingzhuoji coughed up blood, flew backwards for thousands of feet, and fell into the Heavenly Lightning Severed Abyss!
The morale of the Soul-Burning Immortal Army completely collapsed. On the battlefield, countless soul soldiers were annihilated by the power of severing causes, turning into wisps of dust that would never exist again!
The entire Thunder Prison Mystic Gate was shocked and speechless!
"That's... the Origin Destroyer... Divine Sword!!"
"Qin Yu!! It's him!!"
The thunderclouds ceased their churning, Shi Mingzhuoji, was cleaved into the Abyss of No Cause by Qin Yu's sword. The logic of its existence was broken, and the once mighty "Soul-Burning Immortal Army" was now nothing but ashes in the wind, drifting down under the silent sky.
But the battle was not over.
The Heavenly Abyss Lightning Valley trembled, and a terrifying roar shattered the heavens!
Boom!!!
A colossal beast coiled around a thunderous skeleton burst forth from the Soul Rend Altar. Its entire body was covered in scales, purple lightning patterns emanating from its form, and its vertical pupils pulsed with boundless, savage lightning. It was none other than:
Immortal Antiquity and Extraordinary Species: Nether Soul Abyss Viper!
It is one of the calamities of the thunder beasts released by Shi Mingzhuoji Ji using the remnants of the Soul Pact. After its main soul collapsed, it did not dissipate, but instead went completely berserk, turning to regard all living things on the battlefield as objects to be torn apart!
"Roar!!!"
The Nether Soul Abyss Viper roared, unleashing a devastating "Lightning-Devouring Soul Flame" that swept across the Nine Realms. It was like a destructive torrent that devoured all souls and thunderous energy, pushing the disciples of the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate to the brink of despair once again!
Right now!
A streak of green light streaked through the air, the one wielding the Thunder Halberd standing in mid-air, roaring angrily:
"I'll take it!"
It was Zhou Yu!
He took a step into the air, and all the lightning runes in his body ignited. The lightning in his eyes collided with the light of the Thunder Viper's pupils, releasing a blazing white lightning!
"Azure Thunder Lightning Hunter!"
He called out in a low voice!
Moment--
A pillar of lightning descended from the sky, and a terrifying Azure Thunder Soul Beast, even more ancient and awe-inspiring than the Nether Soul Abyss Viper, made a stunning appearance!
With its green mane bristling and thunder surging, it was none other than: Zhou Yu 'Fate Soul Contract Beast - Azure Thunder Lightning Hunter!
The battle between Azure Thunder and Soul Rend: The Heavenly Thunder War begins!
The two lightning-attribute soul beasts clashed in the void, like two gods colliding!
Azure Thunder Lightning Hunter - Battle Skill Unleashed: Shake the Realm, Roar at the Abyss--
A pillar of lightning transformed into a thunderous roar, shaking the abyss and exposing the lightning patterns on the Nether Soul Abyss Viper's body, shattering its soul armor!
Nether Soul Abyss Viper - Raging Counterattack:
Severing Consciousness Lightning Soul Claw --
It tore through space, grabbing straight at the source of Cang Ting's soul consciousness; with a single claw strike, even the void itself was struck by lightning and collapsed!
Cang Ting and Nether Soul Abyss Viper clashed wildly in the sea of lightning, their lightning like dragons, shattering the vast lightning domain.
The entire battlefield transformed into a true [Thunder Soul Star Prison], where all disciples could only observe from afar and dared not approach even a fraction of a second!
In a corner of the battlefield, Qin Yu stood calmly, sword in hand, his eyes undisturbed.
He knew—this was Zhou Yu's true moment of transformation.
Azure Thunder Lightning Hunter is his true master of thunder souls and also his future covenant with the Silent Origin!
Within moments of the battle, Zhou Yu roared and unleashed the fifth form of the Azure Thunder Lightning Hunter:
Origin Extreme Lightning Nirvana Seal--
Azure Thunder Lightning Hunter leaped high into the nine heavens, completely overlapping his body with Zhou Yu's soul consciousness, and with a single Thunder Soul Seal, blasted it into the brow of the Nether Soul Abyss Viper!
Boom!!!
The Nether Soul Abyss Viper roared to the sky, its soul body exploded, lightning patterns shattered, and blood and soul surged out wildly!
At the very last moment—it actually lowered its proud serpent head!
Soul Beast Submits - Second Contract Successfully Established
The Nether Soul Abyss Viper now officially belongs to: Zhou Yu!
Zhou Yu's mind trembled, his palms formed a pact, the Thunder Soul Re-imprint was established, and the Blood Pact was formed!
Zhou Yu has officially acquired the Nether Soul Abyss Viper as his Fate Soul battle beast!
From then on, Zhou Yu had two lightning-type divine beasts.
The disciples of Thunder Prison Mystic Gate Men knelt on the ground and shouted wildly:
"Azure Thunder Lord Contract, Thunder Soul Returns to Its Position--!!!"
