"Hmph!" "How dare you snatch Little Qinzi's treasure! You've got some nerve!" Before she finished speaking, she raised her fair palm, and a blue ring slowly rippled out from her palm. This power was not for attack or killing, but the second move of the Blue Ring — Logic Chain Severance.
The ring rotated gently, and streaks of star-blue rings slowly spread in all directions. All the rings were connected to each other, yet also disconnected, like countless logical threads being rearranged. The moment the Blazing Erosion Clan Chief rushed into the range of the rings, all the continuous causal connections between him and the space in front of him began to break layer by layer.
One step becomes two steps, two steps become a hundred steps.
Even though he was less than ten feet away from the Wordless Heavenly Book, it was as if he had suddenly fallen into a starry sky that he could never cross. With each step forward, the space folded on its own, and each fold would shatter his trajectory.
Immediately afterward, Xiao Yue gently clenched her fist. "Break!" Buzz—all the Star Blue Rings contracted simultaneously, and the complete logical trajectory in front of the Blazing Erosion Clan Chief shattered with a deafening roar. His body felt as if it had crashed into an invisible barrier between heaven and earth, and he was violently shaken. An irresistible force of recoil erupted from his limbs and bones at the same time.
Boom!! His body flew hundreds of feet backward, crashing into more than a dozen crimson-black mountain peaks along the way, before finally coming to a steady stop in the void. The Blazing Erosion Clan Chief slowly raised his head, and for the first time, true shock appeared in his eyes. It wasn't because of the attack itself, but because... he simply couldn't understand what had just happened.
That wasn't a spatial ability, nor a temporal ability, nor a causal ability. It was... a logical severance that he simply couldn't comprehend...
Xiao Yue clapped her hands, tilted her head back slightly, and said smugly, "You dare to steal Little Qinzi's things?" "You're asking for it!" "If you dare come any closer, I'll send you flying even further!"
At the same time, the demonic halberd hanging high in the sky had completely devoured the essence and blood of hundreds of the Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators, and with a rumble, the entire demonic halberd began to tremble violently.
The originally jet-black halberd slowly cracked open with dark red lines, which wriggled like living blood vessels. The halberd blade began to extend, its sharpness becoming narrower and longer, and the tip gradually curved into a scarlet crescent moon. White bone spikes slowly grew from both sides, covered with dense ancient runes, each rune resembling a distorted human face.
Even more bizarrely, countless vengeful spirits began to slowly crawl out from inside the demonic halberd. These spirits had no complete form; only pairs of scarlet eyes floated in the black mist, their mouths constantly opening and closing, yet they could not utter a sound, only let out silent roars. They coiled around the entire demonic halberd, spinning continuously, becoming more and more numerous and denser, eventually forming a vortex of vengeful spirits that covered thousands of feet of heaven and earth.
With each vengeful spirit that appeared, the world grew darker; with each wail, the space trembled. The entire demonic halberd resembled a truly world- World Extinguisher demonic weapon rising from the depths of purgatory. Qin Yu watched this scene, his gaze slightly darkening. If Xiao Yue hadn't intervened in time, the clan leader would have already seized the Wordless Heavenly Book.
He immediately teleported back to Qian Wenwan's side with the Heavenly Book, his expression more solemn than ever before. "Damn it." "Just a little bit more." "That old man..." "He definitely knows the true secret of the Wordless Heavenly Book." Qian Wenwan also looked at the Blazing Erosion Clan Chief in the distance and slowly nodded.
"Moreover, his true loss of composure just now was because he saw this celestial book." "He's hiding it too well." In the distance, the Blazing Erosion Clan Chief slowly steadied himself. He gently wiped away a trace of almost invisible blood from the corner of his mouth, then slowly raised his hands, and ten streams of dark light flew out from his sleeves at the same time.
Those were actually ten ancient soul flags, each one tattered and thoroughly stained with dark red blood. The flagpoles were made from pale white bones, and the flags were covered with countless twisted ancient characters. Countless vengeful spirits struggled within the flags.
The clan leader's hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and he slowly chanted an ancient and obscure incantation. Ten soul flags simultaneously flew towards the ten directions of heaven and earth. Boom! The flags swelled in the wind and instantly transformed into ten giant black pillars piercing the heavens and earth. Countless black chains extended wildly from the flags, intertwining and quickly connecting to form a massive cage covering the entire battlefield.
The sky was completely sealed off, and the earth was completely isolated. The entire Blazing Erosion Divine City, along with Qin Yu, Qian Wenwan, and all the Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators, were sealed within the Ten Directions Soul Flags. Only the ten Soul Banners fluttering in the wind remained between heaven and earth, emanating an increasingly intense aura of death.
Ten Soul Banners hung in the ten directions of heaven and earth, their surfaces fluttering in the wind. Countless black chains crisscrossed, completely sealing off the entire Blazing Erosion Divine City. As the ancient incantation uttered by the Blazing Erosion Clan Chief echoed continuously, the ten Soul Banners simultaneously glowed with a dark red blood light, and countless totems of vengeful spirits on their surfaces seemed to come alive, slowly writhing. In the next instant, an extremely strange power poured down from the depths of the Soul Banners, enveloping all the Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators.
In an instant, the entire Blazing Erosion Clan army trembled violently.
Their eyes were quickly engulfed in crimson, veins bulged on their foreheads, chests heaved violently, and their Fate Soul essence began to burn wildly. Rage and evil swelled, and reason was gradually devoured. Some frantically tore at their hair and roared to the sky; some brandished divine weapons and slashed at the surrounding void, letting out beast-like growls; others pounded their chests, each blow making their Fate Soul essence even more violent.
The leader of the Hatred Clan at the very front went completely mad under the blessing of the ten soul flags.
He held aloft the demonic halberd that had already devoured the life essence of hundreds of the Blazing Erosion Clan. His entire body was enveloped in billowing black and red blood energy, and dark red cracks appeared on his skin. Countless vengeful spirits climbed up his body and eventually converged into the demonic halberd. He slowly raised his head, his eyes now devoid of pupils, only two burning gray-red flames remaining. A ferocious smile spread across his lips as he let out a chilling laugh.
"Kill..." "Kill them all..." "Kill them all--!!"
As the roar subsided, tens of thousands of the Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators simultaneously unleashed a deafening roar, charging towards Qin Yu and his companions like a raging torrent that had lost its senses.
The Hatred Clan leader shattered the earth with a single step, soaring into the sky, and slowly grasped the demonic halberd with both hands.
Thick, dark red blood seeped continuously from the halberd, flowing slowly along the shaft like a living thing. Each drop of blood corroded a dark hole in the void.
He chanted obscure and ancient incantations, and the demonic halberd began to tremble violently, with layers of gray-black ripples spreading around its tip. Then, he swung his hands down with a sudden, powerful blow. "Myriad Slaughter Abyss--!!" Boom—the world suddenly went dark.
Where the demonic halberd fell, a massive abyss suddenly split open, stretching across the heavens and the earth—not an ordinary crack, but more like the mouth of an abyss leading to an endless purgatory. There was no light deep within the rift, only layers upon layers of endless, mournful wails echoing out, billions of voices overlapping, the entire world trembling amidst these cries.
The next instant, a surge of souls erupted, with endless streams of black and gray vengeful spirits gushing out of the Rending Abyss.
They had no complete faces; some were just half a skeleton, some were charred black, and some were incomplete. Countless twisted phantoms overlapped one another, covering the entire sky like a flood bursting its banks.
Wherever the vengeful spirits passed, the lava quickly extinguished, the mountains turned to ashes, the air became deathly still and cold, the light of heaven and earth dimmed continuously, and the entire battlefield was completely swallowed up by an endless ocean of death.
The tide of souls surged and churned, with countless pale hands emerging from it, rushing madly towards Qin Yu and his companions with piercing howls. The entire sky was now completely covered by the gray-black Soul Sea, leaving only the demonic halberd suspended in the center, continuously releasing a suffocating aura of destruction.
Faced with the overwhelming tide of souls, Qin Yu slowly stepped forward, holding the Silent Origin Stainless Sword horizontally in front of his chest. The gray-white Daoist aura flowed quietly, and the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram in his sea of consciousness had been fully unfolded, with the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel slowly turning.
Qian Wenwan gently gripped the Compassionate Joy Divine Sword, her other hand slowly stroking the blade. Warm white and emerald green energies intertwined and rose, her gaze calm and resolute, firmly locking onto the soul tide sweeping across the heavens and earth.
Xiao Yue stood beside Qin Yu's shoulder, the relaxed expression on her face gone. Her long, star-blue hair moved without wind, and a Blue Ring slowly floated behind her. Her sapphire-like eyes quietly watched the thousands of wronged souls approaching. Her small hands began to slowly form hand seals. The three of them did not retreat even half a step. The final battle was about to begin.
