For the first time, genuine shock appeared in Xiao Yue's star-blue eyes. She stared at the ever-expanding black and gray ripples, and her voice lost its usual composure for the first time. "Little Qinzi! We can't wait any longer! This is the 'Sin Embryo Seeds the World,' it's not a supernatural power, it's turning the entire world into its own origin! Quick! Use the Supreme Eternal Stillness Seal!"
Otherwise, even if we manage to block this attack, this world will be completely turned into a den of monsters!" Without any hesitation, Qin Yu suddenly flipped his palm, and the long-dormant Supreme Eternal Stillness Seal slowly emerged in his palm. The next instant, he took a step forward, held the seal with both hands, and raised it high between heaven and earth, and the vast Daoist aura instantly swept across the heavens.
"Supreme Eternal Stillness Seal - Third Divine Power." "Originless Return to One." "End and Beginning Everlasting." As the last four words fell, the entire world suddenly fell completely silent. There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any dazzling divine light, only a layer of faint light, indescribable in any color, slowly spreading from the Supreme Eternal Stillness Seal.
The glimmer of light seemed both present and Does Not Exist; both past and future; everything it passed through ceased to change. The moment the dark gray ripples of evil touched that glimmer of light, they seemed to lose their object of "effect," and countless seeds of evil thoughts hung suspended in mid-air, unable to move forward even an inch.
The laws of heaven and earth, the torrent of time, the trajectory of cause and effect, and the logical order all stood still at this moment, as if it had been so billions of years ago, and as if it would still be so billions of years from now. Qin Yu in that eternal realm, his figure blurred yet eternal, as if he existed simultaneously in the past, present, and future, and as if he had never belonged to any era.
"Xiao Yue!" With a low shout from Qin Yu, the Blue Ring behind Xiao Yue suddenly unfolded, with six layers of Blue Ring stacked on top of each other, instantly transforming the entire world into a vast sea of stars.
"Blue Ring - Super Style One - Consciousness Termination - Annihilation of All Things!" Boom - The five-colored Blue Ring field descended with a roar.
Countless blue divine rings overlapped, forming a final domain that covered the heavens and the earth. The billions of consciousness projections within the Wrath and Malice Blood Puppet began to collapse layer by layer. Countless blood puppet phantoms continuously turned into blue light spots and dissipated. The entire world seemed to have a memory forcibly erased, and a blinding blankness appeared in the heavens and the earth for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yue slowly raised her right hand and forcefully unleashed the sixth move of the Blue Ring, "Thought Locks the Void."
In an instant, billions of star-blue chains emerged from the depths of the void, not to bind the blood puppet's physical body, but to pierce directly through its ever-expanding source of consciousness. Each chain was entangled with a wisp of evil thought, sealing off all nascent consciousness before it could even take shape.
The monstrous seed that was gestating billions of blood puppets began to struggle frantically, but each time it was just about to develop consciousness, it was completely annihilated by the blue chains. The whole world was filled with chilling cracking sounds. It was not the shattering of physical bodies, but the eternal locking of one future consciousness after another before it could even form.
The Wrath and Malice Blood Puppet finally let out a final, Ultimate mournful roar, and its massive body began to disintegrate inch by inch.
The dark source in his chest struggled wildly, but could no longer spread within the eternal domain of the Supreme Eternal Stillness Seal; countless wicked seeds were constantly annihilated, and all evil thoughts, anger, and source energy were completely reduced to nothingness within the Blue Ring field.
Boom—As the last blue light pierced through the heavens and earth, the Wrath and Malice Blood Puppet finally Annihilation completely. However, just before it dissipated, the last wisp of its monstrous origin exploded, and the black and gray ripples that had not yet completely dissipated still slammed into Qin Yu.
Pfft —Qin Yu's body jolted violently, as if struck by a massive blow from the myriad realms. His Fate Soul essence trembled violently, a bloody gash suddenly appeared on his chest, and he was blasted thousands of feet away.
"Little Qinzi!" Xiao Yue's expression changed. She teleported across the sky and caught Qin Yu just before he hit the ground. She herself was unharmed, but looking at Qin Yu's constantly trembling Fate Soul essence, a solemn look appeared in her eyes for the first time.
Meanwhile, Qian Wenwan stared at the figure ahead, still wielding his divine weapon, his eyes vacant, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Gripping the Compassionate Joy Divine Sword tightly, she used almost all her remaining strength to let out a heart-wrenching cry to Yuan Weizhi, "Yuan Weizhi —!!!" "Wake up!!!!"
When Qin Yu was caught by Xiao Yue, the black and gray evil mark on his chest was still throbbing slowly, like a seed of evil anger that had not been completely extinguished and still wanted to burrow into the depths of his Fate Soul. He gritted his teeth, pressed his palm against his chest, and the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram slowly rotated in his sea of consciousness, pressing that wisp of residual evil power little by little into the gray and Annihilation.
A moment later, he felt a sweet taste in his throat, and coughed up a mouthful of dark red blood. The blood fell into the air and turned into wisps of black smoke. He didn't look at the battle in the distance, but instead looked up at Xiao Yue, who was close at hand. His voice was much lower and gentler than before. "Xiao Yue, did you forcefully use the sixth move, 'Thought Locks the Void,' just now?"
Xiao Yue still wore that nonchalant expression on her face, but the radiance of the crescent-shaped silver ornament on her forehead had noticeably dimmed slightly. She blinked and nodded gently, "Yes, it's alright. I just need to rest and recuperate for a while after this battle. My Fate Soul essence was just slightly shaken, nothing serious."
Qin Yu glanced at her quietly, and the coldness in his eyes finally eased a little. He didn't say much, but just nodded slowly. Then he flipped his palm and took out hundreds of Supreme Transformation Source Crystal. Those source crystals, which were interwoven with silver and dark blue, floated in front of him. One by one, they cracked open and turned into a rich flow of Taihua Source Crystals that poured into his body.
Qin Yu closed his eyes for a moment, and the cracks in his Fate Soul torn apart by the Sin Embryo Seeds the World began to slowly close. The cold, piercing pain in his chest was suppressed inch by inch by the Taihua Origin Flow. However, he knew in his heart that this injury could only be temporarily stabilized. To truly recover, he would have to wait until this battle was over.
In the distance, Qian Wenwan had already fought Yuan Weizhi for hundreds of rounds. She dared not truly kill him, and every ray of Compassion and Joy sword light was forcibly deflected at the last inch, only able to use gentle force to deflect Yuan Weizhi's sword momentum; Yuan Weizhi, however, did not hesitate for a moment, his figure like a killing puppet guided by the Soul Flag, his sword edge becoming colder and sharper with each strike, almost grazing Qian Wenwan's shoulder and neck several times.
Qian Wenwan's hair was slightly disheveled, her face was pale, and there was still blood on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes remained fixed on Yuan Weizhi's empty pupils, as if trying to find the last trace of familiar clarity in that deathly silence.
Seeing the Wrath and Malice Blood Puppet destroyed, the Blazing Erosion Clan Chief's eyes finally blazed with fury. The facade of composure on his face was torn away, and he suddenly formed hand seals, shouting, "Arrogant little thief!" Crimson Dao patterns surged in his palms, and the depths of the void cracked open, revealing a brand new Soul Banner.
This flag was completely different from the previous Ten Directions Soul-Suppressing Flags. The flag was long and narrow, and its color was almost grayish-white. However, a dark red eye pattern stood upright in the center. The flagpole was like a sharpened piece of life bone. As soon as it appeared, the soul line between Yuan Weizhi's eyebrows trembled violently, as if it was about to be nailed back to some deeper puppet thought.
Qin Yu's pupils shrank sharply, and he immediately shouted, "Xiao Yue, hurry up and help Shopkeeper Qian! We absolutely cannot let that flag get close to Yuan Weizhi!" Xiao Yue's face darkened, and without the slightest hesitation, her figure transformed into a star-blue light spot, instantly appearing beside Qian Wenwan. The Blue Ring behind her reopened, and the starlight transformed into layers of barriers, blocking Yuan Weizhi and the gray-white soul flag.
As the Soul Flag drew near, the pain in Qian Wenwan's eyes transformed into unwavering resolve. She bit her fingertip, placing a drop of her blood onto the spine of the Compassion and Joy, and then raised her hand to summon a Primordial Supreme Treasure.
It was an ancient bell, warm and smooth as jade, only the size of a palm. Its entire body shimmered with azure-gold divine light, and its surface was engraved with countless fine heart-shaped patterns. Each heart-shaped pattern was like a treasured old melody. With a gentle shake, a soft, clear, and far-reaching bell sound would resound throughout the world.
The sound of the bell entered Yuan Weizhi's sea of consciousness, passing through layers of chains of anger and hatred, reaching the almost extinguished primordial light. Qian Wenwan's eyes reddened, and her voice tore through the sky. "Yuan Weizhi! Wake up! Wake up!!!" This was no longer just a cry; the joy and love of the Compassionate Joy Divine Sword, the pure sound of the Primordial Bell, and the essence of Qian Wenwan's own Fate Soul all poured into the depths of Yuan Weizhi's sea of consciousness along with the sound of the bell.
In that instant, Yuan Weizhi's empty eyes finally trembled violently. Deep within his Fate Soul, the faint point of light suddenly burst forth with a ray of clear light, and a Breaking Intent struggled to raise its head from the black and red chains, colliding head-on with the angry and obsessive thoughts entrenched in the center of his sea of consciousness.
Yuan Weizhi's body froze in mid-air, a look of pain appearing on his face for the first time. A hoarse growl escaped his throat, like someone who had been asleep for a long time finally hearing the voice of someone returning from the depths of a nightmare.
Xiao Yue had been waiting for this moment. Her eyes turned cold, and she gently raised her right hand. The power of the Blue Ring condensed into an extremely small star-blue moon blade. The moon blade did not cut the physical body, nor did it touch the Fate Soul itself. Instead, it went straight into Yuan Weizhi's sea of consciousness through the sliver of clarity that Qian Wenwan had opened.
Her voice was clear and crisp, yet carried a rare chilling edge. "Blue Ring Second Form, Logic Chain Severance." The Star Blue Moon Blade flashed deep within Yuan Weizhi's Fate Soul, precisely striking the main thread of puppet thought between the raging obsession and the soul flag. That black and red obsession let out a shrill roar, attempting to re-entangle Yuan Weizhi's essence, but Xiao Yue pressed down again...
Her star-blue eyes suddenly narrowed, and the Blue Ring behind her slowly rotated, silently spreading out circle after circle of deep blue divine light. Without any hesitation, she raised her slender hand and pointed it towards the struggling, angry obsession deep within Yuan Weizhi's sea of consciousness. Her voice was clear and crisp, yet carried an unyielding authority.
"Blue Ring, Fourth Form - Karma-Locking Stillness." As the words fell, a deep and distant hum suddenly resounded throughout the world. It was not a spatial tremor, nor a roar of Fate Soul, but rather the entire River of Cause and Effect seemed to slowly emerge at this moment.
Strands of crystal-clear blue causal threads slowly emerged from the depths of Yuan Weizhi's Fate Soul essence. These threads intertwined, connecting the past, present, and future, with each thread linking the wisp of wrathful obsession with all the connections between the Ten Directions Soul Flags, the Blazing Erosion Clan Chief, and the Anger and Aversion Origin.
With a gentle clench of her jade hand, Xiao Yue instantly tightened all the blue causal threads. Buzz—the entire sea of consciousness began to tremble violently.
That wisp of furious obsession roared madly, and countless black and red Dao patterns surged continuously, attempting to reconnect itself with the Anger and Aversion Origin through the Soul Flag. But every time it tried to communicate with the source of heaven and earth, those blue threads of cause and effect locked away its past, present and future.
The causes of the past have been completely sealed off. The effects of the present have been completely frozen. The connections to the future have been directly severed.
Accompanied by a series of buzzing sounds that constantly distorted spacetime, a blue causal net slowly emerged around that wisp of angry obsession, covering the entire sea of consciousness. Countless threads intertwined, firmly binding it within.
Immediately afterwards, the threads of cause and effect began to slowly break. When the first thread broke, the connection between the wrathful obsession and the Blazing Erosion Clan Chief vanished instantly.
When the second one broke, its Fate Soul resonance with the Ten Directions Soul Flags was completely severed. When the third one broke, the last connection between it and the Anger and Aversion Origin was also completely erased by the power of the Blue Ring.
That wisp of anger and obsession finally revealed an unprecedented fear; it no longer belonged to an existence recognized by heaven and earth, and its cause and effect had been completely erased by the entire universe.
The next moment, the body of that black and red obsession began to become transparent little by little, as if it were being slowly wiped away by an invisible hand. There was no explosion, no roar, it just kept fading and dissipating, eventually turning into countless tiny blue dust particles, which completely drifted away into Yuan Weizhi's sea of consciousness.
At the same time, the gray-white soul flag in the distance suddenly trembled violently, and a hideous crack suddenly appeared in the dark red eye in the center of the flag. A backlash force rushed directly into the body of the Blazing Erosion Clan Chief through the causal connection, causing his expression to change drastically for the first time.
Yuan Weizhi, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly shuddered. The divine weapon in his hand slowly slipped down, and the scarlet in his eyes gradually faded. His long-silent gaze finally regained a trace of its own clarity.
