Beyond the Heart-Questioning Ancient Forest, the world had returned to calm. The extraordinary phenomenon of Eternal Silence that had swept across billions of miles slowly dissipated, and Qin Yu stood suspended in the void. His black robe swayed gently, and his eyes were as deep as an abyss. After breaking through to the Eternal Silence Realm, the aura emanating from him became extremely quiet.
The silence was almost ethereal. Standing still, he seemed less like a mortal cultivator and more like a void detached from the world. Just then, a streak of blue light suddenly rushed from afar. "Little Qinzi --!!!" Accompanied by a familiar voice, Xiao Yue opened her arms and charged straight at Qin Yu, but just as she was about to collide with him...
She suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!" Her body was gently pushed away by an invisible force, Xiao Yue was suspended in mid-air, blinking her eyes. She tentatively reached out her hand again, but as soon as it entered three feet around Qin Yu, her fair hand instantly froze, and even the blue aura flowing from her fingertips stopped.
Xiao Yue quickly pulled her hand back, her eyes wide. "What the hell is this?" Qin Yu looked down at his surroundings and then shook his head helplessly. "Eternal Silence Domain." "Just broke through, hasn't completely subsided yet." Xiao Yue circled Qin Yu twice, her long blue hair fluttering behind her, her delicate face full of excitement. "Hahahaha--" "Not bad, not bad!" "Little Qinzi, this trip to the Heart-Questioning Ancient Forest has been incredibly profitable for us!"
She counted on her fingers: "I have awakened the Blue Ring · Fourth Form — Karma-Locking Stillness." "I have also comprehended the fifth form of the Blue Ring — Rule Origin Collapse." "And the first form of the Super Form— Consciousness Termination, All Things Annihilation —has also been awakened."
At this point, Xiao Yue raised her chin, her face full of pride. "And you—" she pointed at Qin Yu, "Comprehended a new Ultimate sword path." "Your cultivation has even broken through to the Eternal Silence Realm." "Tsk tsk tsk." "Thinking about it now, that Dao-Breaking Mang Mountain's death wasn't unjust at all."
Qin Yu chuckled softly, a rare gentleness appearing in his eyes. "Hmm." "You've certainly gained a lot this time." Xiao Yue put her hands on her hips and tilted her head. "So, where to next?" Qin Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he recalled the Four Great Lineage Grand Competition he had registered for. "The Four Great Lineage Grand Competition is about three months away." "Let's go back to Stele Forest Imperial City first." Xiao Yue's eyes lit up immediately. "Great!" "Perfect timing for a hearty meal back in the city." "Let's go, let's go!"
The next moment, the two simultaneously raised their hands—sizzle—a huge rift was torn open in the void. Blue and gray light rose simultaneously, and the two figures stepped into it, disappearing without a trace.
... After an unknown amount of time, a spatial rift suddenly opened in the endless void, and Qin Yu and Xiao Yue reappeared. However, as soon as they appeared, they both sensed something was wrong. The surrounding space was slightly distorted, as if a mirror was being folded repeatedly. Xiao Yue frowned. "Huh?" "What's going on here?" Qin Yu looked ahead.
Then he slowly stopped. In the distance, at the edge of the world, an indescribable Divine Mountain stood silently. The moment it came into view, even the void began to distort. It was as if the rules of heaven and earth could not bear its existence. The Primal Magnetism Divine Mountain Divine Mountain 40,000 meters high. Its body was entirely composed of Primordial Magnetic Divine Iron. It was pitch black, deep, and cold.
Countless silver-white magnetic patterns covered the mountain's surface, like billions of lightning bolts permanently sealed within. Most terrifyingly, Does Not Exist normal space around the Divine Mountain. It seemed to have become a convergence point of countless dimensions. At the foot of the mountain, gravity was completely chaotic, and some boulders were falling into the sky.
Some waterfalls flow horizontally, some trees grow upside down, and as they continue upward, space begins to crack, with transparent fissures crisscrossing within. Within these fissures, one can even see a corner of four-dimensional space, where there is no front, back, left, right, inside, outside, up, or down, and a floating piece of divine iron simultaneously presents its interior and exterior.
In front and behind, it seemed as if all spatial structures had been completely unfolded, while higher up, the entire space in the mountainside area had collapsed on a large scale. Some areas had become two-dimensional planes, with countless rocks compressed into thin sheets of paper, silently suspended in the void. Further away, even a thin ray of light could be seen. That was not light, but the trace left behind after a cultivator was compressed into a one-dimensional state.
Consciousness becomes lines, existence becomes lines, and they can never be restored. At the very top of the Divine Mountain, a huge crack that spans the heavens and the earth slowly opens. Within the crack, extremely strange high-dimensional matter flows out continuously. Some of it is like a liquid, yet it also has a solid structure. Some of it has color, yet it cannot be detected by sight at all.
Some things exist in a form, but can instantly transform into their complete opposite. The crack seemed to connect to countless unknown dimensions; anyone who approached could be dragged into another spatial dimension, forever lost. Xiao Yue stared at the crack, involuntarily shrinking back. "Hiss..." "This place looks even more eerie than the Heart-Questioning Ancient Forest!"
Qin Yu didn't speak, but just stared quietly at the Primal Magnetism Divine Mountain that stretched across the sky and earth in the distance. The entire Divine Mountain still released a terrifying magnetic field that distorted space. Countless dimensional cracks crisscrossed, and sometimes space collapsed, and sometimes high-dimensional matter flowed out from the depths of the cracks. However, at this moment, Qin Yu suddenly frowned slightly.
The Fate Soul essence of the Eternal Silence Realm trembled slightly, without any dangerous killing intent, only a faint resonance. At the same time, Xiao Yue, who was standing next to her, suddenly raised her head. Her blue pupils suddenly contracted. "Huh?" She blinked gently. Then she stared intently into the depths of the Primal Magnetism Divine Mountain, her delicate little face gradually becoming serious.
"Little Qinzi." "Did you feel it?" Qin Yu nodded slowly, his gaze fixed on a certain area deep within the Divine Mountain. "Fate Soul fluctuations." "And they're quite peculiar. Just as the two were talking, a muffled rumbling sound suddenly came from inside the Primal Magnetism Divine Mountain —the sound seemed to come from the deepest part of the mountain."
As if emerging from a spatial rift sealed for countless years, an extremely subtle aura of Fate Soul spread out in the next instant. The moment that aura appeared, the surrounding space began to distort, countless Yuan Magnetic Divine Runes simultaneously lit up with silvery-white light, and spatial rifts spread out like a spider web.
As if something was awakening, Xiao Yue's previously nonchalant expression vanished completely. She stared intently into the depths of the Divine Mountain, her long blue hair swaying gently. A hint of surprise and doubt gradually surfaced in her eyes. "This aura..." It's somewhat like Dao Shadow Soldier. Qin Yu turned his head slightly upon hearing this. "Dao Shadow Soldier?" Xiao Yue nodded, her expression unusually serious. "There's no mistake." "Although the aura is very weak."
"But it's absolutely very similar to the Dao Shadow Soldier." "And..." At this point, her brows furrowed even deeper, "... there seem to be quite a few of them." Boom—Just then, another violent tremor came from inside the Divine Mountain, and a section of the mountain suddenly cracked open, sending countless silver-white magnetic lights soaring into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire world within the crack.
