The Chief of the Eight Wardens Arrives, the Epoch Chief Execution Begins
At the edge of the sky, a deathly gray expanse gradually spread, as if millions of souls were swirling and howling in the sky. An ancient, desolate, and silent oppressive feeling enveloped the entire Spirit Firmament.
Beneath this vast sky, the Xuancang Shenying stood silently atop the extreme dome beyond the nine heavens, its eyes as deep as if separated by eternity, its robes fluttering, Silent Void, yet seemingly above the rules of the entire Spirit Firmament.
Suddenly, in the depths of the distant, Annihilation void, an Ultimate vortex portal appeared!
That was a— the Epoch Heavenly Gate!
Boom!!!
A powerful aura, seemingly emanating from the Primordial Immortal Abyss, swept across the entire Spirit Firmament Great Realm. In an instant, the sun and moon dimmed, the realm trembled, and the entire sky above the Spirit Firmament was enveloped in a blood-red soul light.
A figure slowly stepped out from the heavenly gate.
He was draped in a black and gold robe of the chief executioner, wearing an imperial executioner's crown, with six floating soul chains behind him, and his pupils seemed to imprison an epochal judgment arena!
He was none other than the head of the Eight Supervisors, the Chief Executioner of the Miyan Mystic Restriction!
The Silent Origin Venerable Rank, Fifth Order, Soul Master Ten Thousand Punishments of the Epoch Immortal Clan, personally wielding the authority of judgment!
Afterwards, one after another, the Immortal Antiquity stepped out of the Epoch Heavenly Gate, followed by the three overseers: Jiezhe Youqi, Duansheng Hunyi, Yanwang Liutan; behind them, an entire army of [Silent Punishment Ancient Soul Army], clad in armor and wielding soul-severing blades, swept out like a mountain and a sea.
Following Miyan Mystic Restriction were five ancient soul warriors of the Silent Source Realm, all of whom were main combat generals who survived the battlefield of the Immortal Antiquity Epoch Battlefield. They wore Soul-Binding Armor and suppressed the souls of hundreds of domains.
The entire western border of the Spirit Firmament Great Realm instantly felt like the end of the world!
--
A cold glint flashed in Xuancang Shenying's eyes, and in an instant, his divine sense swept through the entire Spirit Firmament.
"--Eight Sects Formation! Azure Sky Realm, Activated!"
Its sound was like thunder, like the resounding echo of ten thousand Soul Stele, instantly reverberating throughout the entire Spirit Firmament Eight Great Sects!
The eight sects— Nether Firmament Underworld Sect, Thunder Prison Mystic Gate, Myriad Spirits Contract Beast Clan Heavenly Abyss Beast Que Shouque, Realm Bone Ridge Realm Sealing Tower, Wind Extinction God Clan, Divine Flame Radiant Realm— have all opened all their seals, formations, and divine palaces.
The eight sect leaders led their elders and guardian spirit generals to set out, using their respective sect's treasured spirit artifacts to open the core of their sect's source array. Instantly, beams of spirit light, reaching from the sky to the earth, surged forth from all over the Spirit Firmament!
Following closely behind, a million disciples from the eight sects of Spirit Firmament quickly assembled!
... just after the divine sense transmission from Xuancang Shenying echoed throughout the entire region--
In an instant, the eight major sects were shaken!
Emerging from the Ten Myriad Spirits Contract Beast Clan were not only cultivators clad in soul robes, but also hundreds of colossal beast spirits, each a thousand feet tall. Their roars shattered the void, their blood energy soaring to the heavens. Each beast was bound by soul chains, its eyes blazing with fury, forming an array in mid-air. The Myriad Spirit Sealing Diagram floated in the sky, the Beast King roared, and the clan's protective battle flag fluttered in the wind.
The Heavenly Abyss Beast Que Palace was ravaged by collapsing mountains and shattering fire domains. Numerous divine beasts from the depths of the earth's veins leaped out, carrying ancient Soul Seal, and surged westward along with the battle banner. The Beast King, still heavily injured, wielded the Flame Profound Soul Bone and spear, leading the charge. Thousands of beast soul warhorses converged like a tide, cutting through the enemy lines.
The battle formations of the Realm Sealing Tower and Realm Bone Ridge sects were the most rigorous. Thousands of Soul Array Masters sat cross-legged in the air, working together to weave a "Soul Realm Lock" that pierced through the sky, sealing the passage. Their disciples wore Xuan Tower Soul Pattern Battle Armor, stretching as far as the eye could see, as if the Soul Tower itself had appeared in the sky for ten thousand years!
At the Nether Firmament Underworld Sect, all the peaks trembled, and the Netherworld Soul Sacrifice Fire illuminated the earth. All the inner sect elders, outer sect generals, and Soul Pavilion disciples lined up, holding the line according to the rules. Elder Ming Yuan, Ming Tong, Ming Yin, Ming Er, and other powerful Silent Origin from the Netherworld Origin Realm were also in their positions, their divine souls and Netherworld Mist rising across the myriad realms, working together with the defensive line set up by the Xuancang Shenying to guard the outer perimeter.
The Wind Extinction God Clan, the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate, and the Divine Flame Radiant Realm are also fully prepared: the Wind Extinction God Clan has deployed three layers of "Wind Soul Realm Current" to form the most Ultimate surprise attack formation, with more than ten Realm Lord Realm elders taking turns patrolling the sky with Soul Wind Blades; the Thunder Prison Mystic Gate is rolling with azure thunder, Lei Wuyuan is holding the Thunder Heaven Soul Spear, having gathered three Thunder God Soul Beasts to prepare to deploy the Realm Thunder Diagram Soul-Suppressing Formation.
Although the Divine Flame Radiant Realm had just experienced a catastrophe and was scarred, Venerable Yanyou stood with his hands behind his back in the air, with tens of thousands of Soulfire Warriors behind him. Each of them wore tattered Soul Armor, but their eyes were still burning brightly, their Soul Flames were still burning, and their will was not extinguished!
--Millions of soul cultivators, thousands of sect leaders and generals, and hundreds of soul-suppressing weapon arrays are all converging like a raging torrent at the westernmost front of the Spirit Firmament Great Realm.
The entire Spirit Firmament Great Realm's energy flow and circulation were guided to the western frontier at this moment, as if the entire realm would perish in this battle!
Qin Yu and his group of six stood at the forefront.
He gazed silently at the Epoch Heavenly Gate before him, his face expressionless, yet the soul pressure and power emanating from his body seemed to freeze the heavens and earth. Around him, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword trembled slightly, as if sensing the fate of its enemy...
Zhou Yu Emperor-Charging Nether Lightning Sword, with the colossal forms of Azure Thunder Lightning Hunter and Nether Soul Abyss Viper appearing on either side. A thousand layers of lightning shadows accompanied the scene. Just as the Spirit Firmament Battle Line solidified, the Eight Sects completed their formation, and the soul cultivators of all realms stood silently in the sky, three extraordinary celestial soul phenomena suddenly cleaved down from the heavens. As if echoes of destiny originating from the deepest part of the [Silent Origin Soul Tomb], they abruptly descended upon the three figures behind Qin Yu: Ming Ye, Ming Kong, and Ming Tong!
First Anomaly: The Abyss of Flaming Bones - Nine Nether Flame Bone Dragon
A dark abyss split open high in the sky, intertwined with flames and bones, its ghostly fire as red as blood.
A colossal skeletal dragon, its entire body engulfed in hellfire, plummeted from the sky. Its horns were entwined with souls, its bone wings burned with flames, and its eyes reflected the undying flames of war and the broken souls of the old era.
"Roar--!!!"
A dragon's roar echoed through the sky, causing the Soul Platform of a million people to tremble!
It landed directly beside Ming Ye, and the Flame Bone merged with its soul core, quietly reforging Ming Ye's physical body and soul body into the "Flame Hell Soul Body," causing the soul source within his body to surge. In an instant, it even crossed the shackles of the Soul Master and directly approached the aura of the Silent Origin!
Nine Nether Flame Bone Dragon
Flaming Bone Soul Breath enveloped Ming Ye's entire body, forming Second Soul shell that granted immunity to all low-level soul fire.
Awakening Soul Skill:
Flame Abyss Shatters the Void: Dragon Fire Roars, Shattering the Soul Array;
Bone Hell Blazing Breath: Burns the enemy's Fate Soul trajectory, permanently weakening their recovery ability;
Nether Flame Dragon Descent: Transforms into a dragon form for a short time, tearing apart the enemy's battle lines.
Ming Ye was engulfed in eerie crimson flames, his face serene, his left eye like a deep pool, and his right eye like a dragon's fire.
The second anomaly: Thunderous Sky Devouring - Soul Rend Thunder Viper
The second Heavenly Soul, amidst rolling thunder, unleashed a roaring, dragon-like viper that cleaved through the heavens, its hundreds-of-foot-long lightning shadow piercing the great formation!
Its body is wrapped in purple-gold lightning patterns, and its scales are engraved with the marks of dead souls. It is the most ferocious being among the ancient Thunder-devouring beasts— the Soul Rend Thunder Viper!
Without hesitation, it instantly wrapped around the body of the Ming Kong, and strands of lightning consciousness pierced into his marrow and Soul Sea, reconstructing his entire lightning soul meridian!
Ming Kong's eyes snapped open, and with a deep shout, the soul rings in his sea of consciousness trembled, and lightning shot into the sky!
Soul Rend Thunder Viper
Ming Kong obtained complete Thunder Soul Divine Consciousness, enabling him to directly unleash Thunder-type Soul Skills using his soul consciousness;
Combat Skill Awakening:
Thunder Devours and Locks the Soul: Once it hits an enemy's soul, it will continuously strike with lightning to interrupt the recovery process;
Thunder Mirror Shatters Consciousness: Reflects the enemy's consciousness into the void and then unleashes multiple attacks;
Nine Netherworlds Rending Scales: A technique that explodes with thunderous scales, capable of instantly creating hundreds of thunderous soul fissures.
His Ming Kong, swirling with lightning, danced wildly; his face was cold and stern. "From this day forward, my Soul Thunder shall not be desecrated by any one."
The third strange phenomenon: The depths of dream devouring -- the Nether Soul Dream Taotie.
The final soul shadow arrived silently, a black mist that enveloped the heavens and earth. Within the mist floated countless fragments of nightmares, sometimes transforming into butterflies, sometimes into infants, sometimes into the chief priest, and sometimes into a nightmare god that annihilated the soul race...
That is the being that devours all dreams, thoughts, and desires— the Nether Soul Dream Taotie!
Without making a sound, it circled once beneath Ming Tong's feet before transforming into a Soul Seal, as if as a sacrifice, and deeply embedding itself into her Fate Soul core.
Ming Tong bit her red lips lightly, her soul power surging within her body, yet she did not utter a single groan of pain. She simply opened her eyes slowly, her dark pupils reflecting a world of shattered dreams.
[Nether Soul Dream Taotie] Fits
It can devour the Soul Arts and mental illusions cast by enemies and turn them back for its own use;
Awakening Soul Skill:
Dream Devouring Nightmare Reversal: Counters all illusionary soul skills of the enemy;
Dream Consciousness Rends the Source: Devours the enemy's consciousness, swallowing their "true beliefs";
Dream Soul Forbidden Transformation: Causes the enemy to fall into a "dream that does not exist," directly severing the cause.
Ming Tong slowly raised a finger, and a jet-black dream butterfly condensed at the fingertip, gently fluttering its wings in mid-air.
"Dreams are the deepest form of soul-destroying power," she whispered.
At this moment, Xuancang Shenying unleashed his final seal, activating all the soul defense arrays simultaneously. He then positioned the ten Silent Source Realm experts beside him at the corners of the nine heavens, forming the "Silent Abyss Heaven-Defending Formation," which relentlessly guarded the outer perimeter of the Epoch Heavenly Gate!
He murmured in a low, yet utterly cold voice:
"After this battle, Spirit Firmament may exist or perish. It is up to you, the younger generation, to defend this realm once more."
Countless eyes turned to the six people at the front, to the young man standing with his hands behind his back— Qin Yu.
No commands or encouragement are needed.
All the disciples of the eight sects fell silent at the same time, then slowly knelt down, their soul breaths rumbling like rolling thunder.
"Defend to the death!!" "Defend to the death!!" "Defend to the death!!"
Across the vast sky and earth, winds whistled and thunder roared, the war drums of the Eight Sects thundered, and the soul flags fluttered like dragons before the battle.
And that Epoch Heavenly Gate... is still slowly opening.
A storm is about to sweep in.
The western edge of the entire Spirit Firmament formed a vast and boundless battlefield.
At this moment, standing at the very front of the Spirit Firmament Formation was none other than:
Qin Yu!
He stood quietly with his hands behind his back, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword strapped to his back, his expression as cold and detached as a deity. Beside him stood Zhou Yu, Qian Ruishan, Yao Wanqing, Ming Ye, Ming Kong, and Ming Zhen, lined up in a row.
Behind them stood the array of sect leaders from the eight sects, followed by the elders' army and the sect-protecting legions. At the very back, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see, were tens of millions of soul cultivators and warriors from the eight sects!
They stood in mid-air, their souls surging, their formations pulsating, and one after another, soul domain formations unfolded in the void, each one powerful enough to suppress the demonic souls of all realms!
Above the sky, Xuancang Shenying clasped his hands together, and streaks of black and gold soul patterns rapidly appeared around him. Ten powerful experts at the Silent Source Realm descended in an instant—these were the ten "Soul Guardians" he had summoned, specifically to resist the Three Commanders of Immortal Antiquity Era.
At this very moment, all sects and forces throughout the entire Spirit Firmament Great Realm are united as never before!
In the distance, the Epoch Heavenly Gate has not yet completely closed, and the shadow of the Immortal Antiquity has not yet fully emerged, but the aura that is enough to crush an entire era is already overwhelming!
And this is just the beginning.
The world Ji Ran; not a sound could be heard.
Qin Yu's battle formation had already spread out like the heavenly veins, with six divine beasts lying across the sky, a million soul cultivators from eight sects gathered, eight sect masters in front, and the Grand Venerable Mingxu standing beneath the Soul-Suppressing Pillar. At this moment, a sound like the ancient bell tearing apart the soul came from the ends of the earth!
--Thump!
That was not sound, but the echo of a collapsing soul, the reverberation of the soul of the old era!
The entire sky slowly turned a deep, dark black, as if countless remnant souls were flowing backwards across the heavens. Crimson starlight ignited one after another, and a figure slowly stepped out from the center of the soul mist—
Miyan Mystic Restriction
Chief of the Eight Imperial Guards, Principal Executioner of the Era
The Fifth Silent Origin Venerable Rank, the head of the Eight Watchers of the Immortal Antiquity Era, the one who suppressed the Soul Laws of the Old Era, and the one who wielded the Epoch Chief Execution Soul Seal.
Wherever it goes, all souls submit.
He wore a dark purple-gold robe, beneath which emerged countless Soul Seal runes, as if woven from the brand marks peeled from the bodies of millions who had been subjected to the soul-destroying punishment.
His eyes had no pupils, only two slowly flowing, golden flames that, with the slightest movement, seemed to pierce through the origin and end of the entire soul.
Wearing ghostly chain armor on his shoulders and seven chains of punishment marks around his waist, with each step he took, the soul domain beneath his feet automatically collapsed. Heaven and earth dared not tremble, and the very path of the Great Dao gave way wherever he stepped!
Its mere presence was enough to terrify countless souls and cause the seas of consciousness of tens of thousands of soul masters to crack on their own!
"This place is the boundary of the old era, why hasn't it collapsed?" "How could those ant-like demons still survive?"
Miyan Mystic Restriction uttered those words, the entire arena fell silent; heaven and earth seemed to die!
Five Ancient Soul Warriors
To the left, right, and behind Miyan Mystic Restriction, five figures stepped in almost at the same time as him. Each of them exuded a soul pressure comparable to the Silent Source Realm Third Stage. Their bodies were covered with ancient soul battle armor, on which the clan patterns and Soul Seal of the ancient battle soul race appeared.
Soul Splitter Pei Yulin: Standing 3.5 feet tall, wielding the Nether Soul Rend Blade, a single slash can cleave through ten layers of soul consciousness;
Forbidden Seal General Li Yuanshe: Carrying the Soul-Locking Heavenly Bell, specializing in breaking array diagrams and protective arrays;
Nether Sha General - Kui Junhuo: Skilled at commanding 100,000 ghostly souls; before battle, the soul flames devour all directions.
Curse Destroyer - Yao Yunfei: Specialist in dispelling all spells and talismans, and breaking enemy magic;
Tu Xingji, the Soul-Bearer: Originally the chief executioner of all races, he betrayed the era and now only uses one form of Punish the Soul and Seize the Fate.
The mere presence of the five individuals caused many cultivators among the disciples of the Eight Spirit Firmament to tremble, lower their heads, and bleed from their foreheads!
Three auxiliary supervisors appeared
At the same time, three figures, slightly lagging behind, slowly stepped out from behind the soul curtain, standing on the left and right sides of the Miyan Mystic Restriction respectively. Amidst the swirling soul mist, their aura was like divine punishment.
Jiezhe Youqi
The Silent Origin Venerable Rank, Second Rank
Lord of Space Soul Restriction
She wore a Realm Splitting Qingyi, covered with a gray patterned soul veil, and a broken soul bone crown. Her eyes were like double-folded spaces; if one looked into them, one would be trapped in an endless, distorted Soul Realm.
A string of soul bone rings hung from her sleeve, each ring sealed with the Soul Seal of an Annihilation race.
She specializes in spatial folding and war zone manipulation, capable of instantly teleporting millions of soul soldiers and reversing the tide of battle.
Duansheng Hunyi
The Silent Origin Venerable Rank - Initial Stage
Those whose Fate Soul is severed
He resembled a young boy, carrying a tattered "Fate-Severing Soul Banner" on his back, with nine "Soul-Severing Tassel Threads" fluttering around him, each tassel having severed the Fate Soul of an entire clan.
His white robes were stained with blood, and his feet never touched the ground, as if the entire world was unwilling to bear the traces of him.
It severes the very source of Fate Soul; once the Soul-Severing Hook is unleashed, the enemy will be unable to regenerate using soul skills.
Yanwang Liutan
The Silent Origin Venerable Rank - Initial Stage
Civilization Annihilation History
Clad in a greyish-white Soul-Evolving Cloak, wearing a mask of flowing marks, his lips were silent, his eyes utterly speechless, yet with each step he took, the name of some ancient civilization was forever erased from the world.
He wields his pen like a blade, capable of writing chapters of Annihilation History, erasing enemies, sects, and the world from the myriad laws of existence.
It excels at erasing enemies from memory, language, and time, causing them to be forgotten before they are even killed. Millions of souls manifest.
Finally, behind the Three Supervisors and the Ancient General, towering arrays of battle spirits slowly emerged!
Black Soul Battle Army, Nether Abyss Soul Cavalry, Realm-Rending Punishment Convicts, Lost-Consciousness Dream Slaves, Ancient Epoch Realm-Folding Army, Bone Domain Soul-Burying Guard...
There are approximately 16.3 million Epoch Soul Clan warriors, all at the peak of Soul Master level or above. Each of them has fought for thousands of years, and each formation is as imposing as a wall of blades!
Following their battle formation, more than twenty world-sealing level soul beasts, five epoch-making execution platforms, and seven Soul Master formations slowly spread across the entire southwestern sky of the Spirit Firmament Dome!
Two realms stand in confrontation, heaven and earth reflect each other.
On the left, in the Spirit Firmament Great Realm, Qin Yu leads the way, with eight sects lined up, ten Silent Origin Soul-Suppressing Heavenly Arrays, and tens of millions of soul cultivators raising their heavenly souls!
On the right, the Epoch Soul Army, led by Miyan Mystic Restriction, was guarded by three executioners and five generals, with millions of souls surging forth in fury!
Heaven and earth, black and gold, soul and silence, murderous intent surges!
