At the same moment, the four rings of gray, cyan, blue, and purple within Xiao Yue's body trembled and resonated simultaneously, and five-colored divine radiance spread across the sky and enveloped the eight directions. An unprecedented power slowly emerged from her body. This power was not an ordinary supernatural power or technique, but the Ultimate Order Adjudication that transcended all laws.
Blue Ring's true super-power finally began to awaken. Boom! Xiao Yue's mental space suddenly collapsed completely. All thoughts, all memories, and all insights were compressed into an Ultimate tiny point. That point continued to collapse and compress until it finally transformed into a miniature blue crystal tower, quietly floating in the center of her brow.
With a whoosh, the moment the Blue Crystal Tower appeared, the world suddenly fell silent. All consciousness within a radius of 100,000 miles froze simultaneously. Birds stopped in mid-air, cause and effect ceased to flow, and time stopped moving forward. It was as if the entire world had been paused. Xiao Yue slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, deep within her pupils...
Suddenly, a slowly rotating blue crystal tower appeared. Within the tower's shadow, countless cycles of cause and effect Annihilation simultaneously, and countless existences dissipated at the same time, ultimately returning to nothingness. She slowly raised her hand, and a thousand-foot blue tower flew out from between her brows.
As the wind swelled, suspended in the center of heaven and earth, seven bells rang simultaneously. No sound was heard, yet all thoughts in the entire world ceased to exist. The first ring: all beings forgot anger; the second, fear; the third, obsession; the fourth, cause and effect; the fifth, rules; the sixth, existence; the seventh, self.
At that very moment, deep within the Blue Ring's origin, its Ultimate power manifested completely— Blue Ring Super Style One, Consciousness Termination, All Things Annihilation. Heaven and earth suddenly transformed into a pure white void, all imprints were erased, and the myriad phenomena seemed as if they had never been born. In the void, only the Blue Tower and Xiao Yue stood motionless. After a long while, the majestic Blue Tower slowly shed its form, transformed into a stream of light, and disappeared back into Xiao Yue's brow.
Meanwhile, the fused Annihilation Return to the Ruins - Wheel of Karmic End and Void Thought Stillness - Tower of No Birth and No Destruction began to gradually turn into blue light. They did not cry out or struggle, but simply dissipated quietly, like guardians who had completed their mission. Finally, they completely merged into the depths of Xiao Yue's Fate Soul and disappeared completely. The five-colored divine light also began to slowly dissipate.
The gray light disappeared, the cyan light disappeared, the blue light disappeared, the purple light disappeared, and the black-gold radiance slowly faded away. Just then, an ancient and desolate voice slowly resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The inheritance has changed hands, the karmic ties have been severed, and the trial has come to an end. "Boom-- A blue pillar of light fell from the sky, completely enveloping Xiao Yue."
She took one last look at the Final Thought Annihilation Void Sea, then glanced in the direction where Yingling had vanished, and nodded gently. The next moment, a pillar of light shot into the sky. Xiao Yue's figure slowly disappeared into the world, and the entire Final Thought Annihilation Void Sea began to collapse little by little, eventually returning to silence, as if it had never existed.
The Heart-Questioning Ancient Forest was still shrouded in a pale mist. The ancient cave stood quietly among the mountains, and outside the cave, the remnant soul of the woman remained standing there. She never left. Her scarlet eyes were like two solidified blood moons. Her long hair hung down and her clothes fluttered gently.
She stood silently in place, like an ancient statue waiting for its prey to appear. Suddenly, she slowly raised her head, her scarlet eyes slightly narrowed, because at that moment, an extremely peculiar aura slowly emerged from the depths of the Heart-Questioning Ancient Forest. That aura was not domineering, but it carried an indescribable rhythm of Annihilation.
As if capable of silencing all consciousness, the remnant soul of the woman slowly turned around, coldly gazing into the depths of the ancient forest. For the first time, she no longer stared at the cave, but instead turned all her attention to the distance. At the same time, boom—from the deepest part of the Heart-Questioning Ancient Forest.
Suddenly, a blue rift tens of thousands of feet long opened in the void, and countless blue rays of light slowly flowed out from the rift. Then, a petite figure slowly walked out of the void. It was Xiao Yue. She landed lightly on the ground, her long blue hair cascading down her back, and the crescent-shaped silver ornament on her forehead shimmering slightly. Her sapphire-like eyes were full of pride.
Hands on hips, head held high, her voice was crystal clear. "Little Qinzi— " "I'm back! Come out and greet me!" Her voice echoed all around. However, only the gentle breeze blowing through the ancient forest answered her. Xiao Yue blinked, looked around, and the smile on her face slowly froze. "Huh? Where is he? Little Qinzi? Wasn't I supposed to tell him to wait for me?"
She puffed out her cheeks and stomped her foot angrily. "Really, where did he go?" she thought. But the next moment, her expression subtly changed. Her blue eyes slowly narrowed. "No... Little Qinzi's Fate Soul force... is nearby." She gently closed her eyes, her senses rapidly expanding.
Soon, a familiar aura appeared in her senses. "Found it." Whoosh—a blue streak of light instantly pierced the sky, Xiao Yue flew directly towards the cave. In just a few breaths, the familiar cave appeared before her eyes. Outside the cave, the defensive formation that had already been activated still retained its aura.
Xiao Yue recognized it at a glance, "Little Qinzi's array!" She slowly landed in front of the cave, scanned it with her senses, and indeed detected the lingering aura of Qin Yu's Fate Soul inside. She immediately cheered, cupping her hands to her mouth and calling out towards the cave, "Little Qinzi— " "Come out quickly! I'm back—"
The sound echoed through the valley. At that moment, Qin Yu, who had been hiding in the Transcendent Five-Dimensional Space, suddenly trembled. He would never mistake that familiar voice. The next moment, he looked up and, through the spatial rift, finally saw that familiar figure. Xiao Yue was floating outside the cave.
Lively and unharmed, Qin Yu's tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment. More importantly, he discovered that the remnant soul woman who had been guarding outside the cave was gone. Qin Yu's pupils contracted slightly; before he could even think of the reason, a boom—
Space cracked open, and he took a single step, instantly appearing beside Xiao Yue. Before Xiao Yue could react, Qin Yu grabbed her, his voice low and menacing. "Run!" Xiao Yue was startled, nearly falling from the sky. "Ah—" "Little Qinzi, what are you doing?!" "You scared me to death!"
She patted her chest, her azure eyes wide with anger, and scolded, "Little Qinzi, you didn't even say anything before you appeared!" She immediately pressed, "What's wrong? What happened?" Qin Yu had no time to respond. He knew perfectly well that the woman with the remnant soul wouldn't have disappeared without a trace; she must have been hiding in the shadows.
It was too quiet here, unnaturally quiet. He pulled Xiao Yue along, ready to leave, but the moment they turned around, the space in front of them suddenly distorted slightly. A figure slowly appeared, without a sound or fluctuation, as if she had always been standing there.
It was that remnant soul of a woman. Her scarlet eyes slowly rose, and her cold gaze fell silently on Qin Yu and Xiao Yue. The air froze instantly, and time seemed to stand still. Xiao Yue followed Qin Yu's gaze and looked over.
The next moment, she shuddered violently, her face turning deathly pale, her long blue hair almost standing on end. She hid behind Qin Yu's shoulder, pointing her little finger forward, her voice trembling. "Oh my god—" "A ghost!!!"
The remnant soul woman. "..." Qin Yu: "..." The remnant soul woman's scarlet eyes flickered slightly, showing an extremely subtle fluctuation for the first time. She never expected that after Silent Void, her reappearance would be greeted with such a sentence.
Outside the cave, the air seemed to freeze completely. Qin Yu and Xiao Yue stood to one side, while the remnant soul woman stood opposite them, several dozen feet apart. No one made the first move. Qin Yu stared intently at those scarlet eyes, his Fate Soul slowly circulating within him. The Silent Origin Stainless Sword was already secretly prepared, ready to strike immediately should the opponent make the slightest move.
Qin Yu slowly exhaled, then turned his head slightly to look at Xiao Yue beside him, his voice tinged with helplessness. "Xiao Yue, this old woman is merely a remnant soul." "But her cultivation is at the Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme. She almost killed me a few days ago, luckily I hid in the Transcendent Five-Dimensional Space, and she's been guarding outside the cave entrance ever since." "Just now, when you returned..." "I realized she was gone, so I hurriedly pulled you away."
At this point, Qin Yu's gaze fell on the remnant soul woman again, his expression still solemn. After all, this thing before him was definitely far more than the Eternal Silence Realm when it was alive, and even now, as just a remnant soul, it was still incredibly dangerous. However, compared to Qin Yu's caution, Xiao Yue seemed extremely relaxed. She stood with her hands on her hips and her head slightly raised.
Her long blue hair swayed gently in the breeze. After listening to Qin Yu's words, she blinked, then patted her chest, revealing a confident smile. "Oh, is that so?" "I thought it was something serious." She took a step forward, blocking Qin Yu's path. Her petite figure exuded an inexplicable air of dominance. "Don't worry, leave it to me, Little Qinzi. I'm not the same person I used to be."
In the distance, the remnant soul woman remained motionless, simply watching the two silently, the light in her crimson eyes flickering slightly. The next moment, Xiao Yue suddenly seemed to realize something, her eyes lighting up instantly. She then tilted her head and scrutinized the remnant soul woman, looking her up and down, her expression growing increasingly strange.
Finally, she suddenly clapped her hands, a look of sudden realization on her face. "Hey--" Little Qinzi! I know! Qin Yu was taken aback. Know what? Xiao Yue pointed to the remnant soul woman in the distance and said seriously, "This female ghost isn't bad-looking either. I bet she's got her eye on you..." Qin Yu: "???" Remnant Soul Woman: "..."
Xiao Yue thought about it and it made more and more sense. She even started analyzing it. "Look," she said, "She doesn't hit anyone else, but she specifically chases after you. You hid in the Transcendent Five-Dimensional Space, and she was still guarding the entrance. After I came back, she even came out to see me. Isn't that a sign that she's taken a liking to you?"
Qin Yu's forehead veins throbbed slightly. "Xiao Yue..." However, Xiao Yue completely ignored him, instead becoming more and more enthusiastic. "That must be it." "Tsk tsk tsk." "I didn't expect my Little Qinzi to be so charming, even attracting a female ghost from millions of years ago, amazing, amazing."
After saying that, she even gave Qin Yu a thumbs up, which made Qin Yu's face darken. Just then, the remnant soul woman, who had been completely unresponsive, suddenly raised her head. Boom! A scarlet light suddenly erupted from her eyes, even more intense and scorching than before. Her eyes were fixed on Qin Yu, and a strange fluctuation actually appeared in her gaze.
At the same time, the space around her began to tremble violently, and the aura of countless ancient Fate Soul surged wildly. Even the mist in the Heart-Questioning Ancient Forest began to swirl backward. Qin Yu's pupils suddenly contracted because he discovered that the emotional fluctuations of the remnant soul woman at this moment far exceeded any previous ones.
Xiao Yue froze for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth wide. "Holy crap..." "No way..." "Could I have guessed right?" The next moment, the remnant soul woman slowly took a step forward, her scarlet eyes still fixed on Qin Yu.
This time, her lips, which had been silent for countless years, moved slightly, as if she were about to speak. Qin Yu and Xiao Yue froze on the spot, as this remnant soul revealed such clear emotional fluctuations.
