The Battle of Spirit Firmament (Part Two)
After the Thunderous Soul Reflection was broken, the battle remained deadlocked.
The vibrations of the Nether Soul Rend Blade never ceased, and the cracked light of soul consciousness continued to tremble between heaven and earth. Although Zhou Yu and Yao Wanqing formed an array to defend themselves, they could hardly be at ease. The lightning souls and ice mirrors around their bodies shattered one by one, and their soul consciousness was enduring tremendous impact with every breath.
"Soul Split General... he didn't use his full strength." Yao Wanqing whispered, the mirror mark on her palm fading.
Zhou Yu, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, pressed forward instead of retreating. "If he goes all out, neither of us will survive."
The next moment, Pei Yulin truly activated his core Soul Battle Technique.
He made a hand seal with his right hand, raised his blade with his left, and uttered six words in a chilling, deep voice:
"Tenfold Soul Annihilation - Consciousness Flame Locks the Realm."
The Nether Soul Rend Blade suddenly shattered into ten soul fragments, which floated around him, forming ten Soul Domain Locking Arrays! Each soul fragment was ignited with a ghostly blue soul flame, and on the soul flame, the origin of "Identity Imprint" was burning!
This is no ordinary soul flame, but rather—the flame of consciousness!
The Soul Burning Technique can not only destroy the soul, but also ignite the "karmic causes" deep within the sea of consciousness, causing the opponent to fall into disillusionment and ruin!
"Breakthrough-level Soul Tactics..." Yao Wanqing's eyes widened in shock as she gripped the ice mirror tightly in her hand.
We can't let him complete the final sealing of the boundary!
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, and the two divine beasts behind him suddenly sprang up!
"Azure Thunder Lightning Hunter - Lightning Domain Roar!"
"Nether Soul Abyss Viper - Dream Consciousness Erodes the Soul!"
The Azure Thunder Lightning Hunter roared and shook the heavens, its thunder wings transforming into millions of thunder feathers that pierced the sky and rushed straight at Pei Yulin's ten layers of soul locks.
The Nether Soul Abyss Viper opened its eyes wide, its ghostly light transforming into a dream, partially covering the Flame of Consciousness, using the illusion of the Dream Abyss to interfere with the operating logic of the Soul Lock.
However, Pei Yulin and uttered a sealing spell.
"Soul-Slaying Sense: Seventh Lock, Dream-Rending Origin Destroyer!"
Boom--!!
The seventh soul lock suddenly grew thirty feet, its fragments transforming into blades, arrays, and spells, heavily suppressing the Dream Abyss Viper's body.
The Nether Soul Abyss Viper let out a painful hiss, large patches of its scales peeled off, and its lightning energy scattered. Yao Wanqing's heart and soul were injured, and a mouthful of blood gushed out!
"Bowl green!"
Zhou Yu roared, his eyes filled with malice, and suddenly drew the Emperor-Charging Nether Lightning Sword, his figure as fast as lightning, rushing straight towards Pei Yulin!
"Soul Skill: Nine Abyss Silent Lightning Canon - Seven Tribulations - Ultimate Silence Heavenly Blast!"
This move, a lightning strike approaching its Limit, annihilated the Heavenly Soul with a single sword strike!
Thunder roared into the sky, a sword piercing the Emperor-Charging Lightning Sword's Thunder Sword, like a pillar of thunder from the abyss, pierced through the soul lock, shattering the triple soul array, and heading straight for Pei Yulin's face!
Pei Yulin's expression changed drastically, and he hastily Soul-Slaying Blade to protect himself:
"Soul Rend - Barrier Protection!"
The two blades clashed, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the entire battlefield roared with thunder and surged with soul winds, and the void was directly blasted into a gray abyss!
Zhou Yu was sent flying backward, half of his body a bloody mess, but the lightning sword had indeed torn a corner of the Soul Lock apart.
Soul Splitter Pei Yulin was heavily knocked back, his Nether Soul Rend Blade covered in cracks, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and for the first time, he showed a solemn expression.
"The Lord of the Thunder Sword actually possesses such Thunder Soul power..." He gritted his teeth, his Nether Armor trembling slightly.
At that moment, Yao Wanqing forced herself to stand up.
"... If you want my life, you must first conquer my soul."
She crossed her arms and unleashed the ultimate secret technique of her soul skill:
"Mirror Falls and Returns to the Abyss - Eight Mirrors of Ice Heart."
Eight Mirror of the Ice Soul slowly rose, each one a battle memory of her past soul-slaying exploits, which she then materialized into combat techniques. This was not merely a soul skill, but a "reenactment of battle history"!
Each mirror reflects the strongest battle, the most ruthless strike, and the clearest breakthrough in her soul consciousness, ultimately condensing at the end of her soul consciousness and transforming into an ice mirror Rending Domain —reflecting all the opponent's flaws!
Pei Yulin was stunned and before he could react, he was forced into the center by the backlash formation!
Zhou Yu gritted her teeth and rushed out, the two of them side by side once again.
Yao Wanqing: "This strike is a gamble with my life."
Zhou Yu: "I'll stay with you."
Emperor-Charging Nether Lightning Sword reignites its thunder wings, Yao Wanqing's eight mirrors reflect it all, Nether Soul Abyss Viper entwines the soul's body.
"Silent Lightning Shatters Consciousness - Eight Mirrors Pierce the Soul!"
With the combined attack, the Thunder Sword pierced through the Soul Mirror, striking straight into the soul's consciousness!
Boom--!!!
The Nether Soul Rend Blade shattered into a thousand pieces, causing his soul consciousness to tremble. Pei Yulin was forced back a hundred feet and suddenly spat out a mouthful of pitch-black soul blood.
But—he is still alive.
Even with his soul severely damaged and the Nether Soul Rend Blade shattered, he still did not fall!
"Damn it... it's not over yet." Pei Yulin knelt on one knee, struggling to maintain his spiritual body.
Zhou Yu and Yao Wanqing were also nearing their Limit, their Thunder Swords were out of control, and their soul energy was depleted.
They—completed the "Soul-Slaying and Blade-Breaking".
Pei Yulin slowly raised his head, the Nether Soul Rend Blade held horizontally in front of him, his towering soul body, three and a half feet tall, was permeated with a ghostly light after being severely injured. His soul consciousness was constantly healing itself, and even though he was covered with ten cracks, he remained as solid as a mountain.
His voice was deep and resonant, like a deep bell from the Nether Prison:
"You... are the first to force me to use this slash."
The next instant, the Nether Soul Rend Blade was raised high, Pei Yulin's soul light exploded, and the battle skill -- "Soul Severance in Ten Layers" was released with a bang!
The sky roared, and the ten layers of the Soul Realm collapsed, sweeping out like waves of World Extinguisher soul-cleansing power! Its force not only aimed to directly sever Zhou Yu and Yao Wanqing, but also to completely cleave their soul consciousness, destiny, and reincarnation logic into ten pieces!
Yao Wanqing waved the Jade Bone Umbrella, her Ice Soul Sea of Consciousness churning, instantly activating -- Cold Nether Umbrella Thousand-Consciousness Returning Lock Formation, protecting Zhou Yu's Soul Domain.
But this strike was simply too powerful.
The umbrella shattered, its ribs broke, and Yao Wanqing coughed up a mouthful of blood, collapsing to his knees.
Pei Yulin strode forward, his soul power like an endless Mountain Crushing the Summit!
Zhou Yu finally couldn't hold on any longer; half of her soul shattered, and countless thunderclaps echoed in her sea of consciousness.
--Right now!
He gritted his teeth and his voice was low. Blood trickled from the corner of his lips. Suddenly, a dark blue lightning mark burst out from his eyes. Deep within his sea of consciousness, the Ultimate technique scroll that had been sealed for a long time suddenly unfolded!
Nine Abyss Silent Lightning Canon, Ninth Tribulation, Final Tribulation – One Restriction of the Nine Abysses!
Zhou Yu slowly raised her head, her voice trembling and hoarse, yet carrying an almost manic determination:
"You... no longer deserve to exist."
Boom!!!
The entire battlefield seemed to come to a standstill.
Cycle Nether lightning mark slowly appeared between her brows, and hundreds of thousands of Dao Abyss lightning leaped out from the abyss of the void, intertwining to form a "Thunder Forbidden Palace".
This technique is neither attack nor strike—but rather "erasure".
It's not about defeating or suppressing, but about erasing everything from its right to exist.
Pei Yulin's soul began to tremble... and then collapsed!
Before his Nether Soul Rend Blade could even strike, he had already been "stripped" from cause and effect. He was no longer "Pei Yulin," but merely a negated remnant.
The soul blade vanished, the Soul Name disappeared, and the sea of consciousness was like a turbulent wave being pushed into the abyss. Even the world's awareness that he "had ever existed" was annihilated!
--Silent Lightning Seals the Soul, One Restriction of the Nine Abysses!
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"
A bloodcurdling scream, filled with despair, madness, pain, and terror, tore through the void.
Soul Split Pei Yulin has disappeared.
There was no blood mist, no lingering souls.
He was as if he had never existed.
The battlefield was deathly silent. Yao Wanqing stared in shock at the traces of lightning dissipating and spiritual energy returning to stillness in mid-air, while Zhou Yu slowly knelt down after losing all her strength.
He closed his eyes and murmured softly:
"I don't want to use this ban again."
In this battle, the Soul-Splitter General Pei Yulin Annihilation!
In the Silent Origin wilderness, the Soul Sea trembled.
When Li Yuanshe stepped out of the pitch-black Realm Splitting, the world seemed to fall into eternal night. The Soul-Locking Heavenly Bell behind him appeared out of thin air. The azure divine bell was covered with ancient soul patterns, and Soul Seal coiled around the bell like snakes and pythons. Its aura was imposing without anger, directly attacking the source of soul consciousness, causing the soul energy within tens of thousands of miles to tremble and the array patterns to twist.
Ming Kong and Ming Ye stood side by side in front.
Both were still recovering from serious injuries, and their soul power fluctuated, still bearing the aftershocks of their earlier battle. But at this moment, they had no choice. The ancient soul warrior before them— the Forbidden Seal General Li Yuanshe —was once the master of the Three Soul Seals of the Severing Realm. He was most skilled at breaking formations and destroying seals, locking souls and binding consciousness. This was naturally contrary to the way of soul battle, yet he could completely destroy the protective formations and consciousness.
"You... are not enough." Li Yuanshe whispered coldly, his voice like an ancient bell striking the soul, penetrating straight from the Nine Nether to the sea of consciousness.
He reached out and slapped it—
"Soul-Locking Shock, Domain- Rending Domain Bell Rings!"
With a tremor from the Soul-Locking Heavenly Bell behind them, three giant bronze bells appeared in the void and surged toward Ming Kong and Ming Ye.
That wasn't just a simple offensive; it was the oppression of the soul domain. Three bells rang out: one to lock the spirit, one to break the formation, and one to restrain consciousness. The barrier of the entire world collapsed instantly, and the soul fluctuations were extracted, suppressed, and torn apart!
Ming Ye roared, his robes billowing as a phantom, the Thunder Viper, roared out from behind him:
"Lightning-Manifested Soul Wall - Burn Consciousness and Guard the Soul!"
A soul barrier formed from hundreds of lightning chains rose up in an instant, blocking the three bells, but it shattered with a "boom" in just two breaths. The lightning chains were crushed into threads, and the soul barrier was as thin as paper.
Ming Kong had already risen into the air, a black spear of light condensing in his hand, and the Thunder Soul materialized into a shadow—it was none other than [Soul Rend Thunder Viper - Thunder Domain Spirit Transformation Form]!
"Kill--!!!"
A bolt of black-gold lightning, like a spear piercing through time and space, tore through the air and Li Yuanshe.
"Thunderous Seal Lock - Annihilation Thunderclap!"
This strike aimed directly at the divine body Li Yuanshe, targeting the most unshakeable part of his soul bell—his heart.
But--
Li Yuanshe did not dodge.
He lightly raised his hand, and an ancient seal appeared from the void, steadily blocking the Thunder Soul's thrust. The spear, embedded in the ancient seal, shattered inch by inch, scattering large fragments of soul light.
"A trivial skill," he said indifferently.
The next moment--
The Soul-Locking Heavenly Bell rang out in a deafening roar!
"Five Bells Split Seal - Soul-Binding Realm Breaking!!!"
Ming Kong and Ming Ye were immediately and forcibly suppressed in the abyss of the Soul Sea. All their soul perceptions seemed to be frozen in the extreme, their bodies were as if they were sinking to the bottom of the abyss of the underworld, unable to move, and their soul consciousness was distorted!
In the midst of the crisis, Ming Ye bit his tongue, releasing a drop of his Thunder Soul's original blood, awakening the Thunder Viper's essence.
"Ming Kong, we have no choice but to fight!"
Ming Kong's bloodshot eyes gleamed, and with a roar, the spear shadow beneath the Thunder Soul coalesced once more.
"Even if it costs me my life, I must make him... break one hour!!"
The heavens and earth roared as the first battle began explosively amidst Ultimate suppression and fierce resistance from both souls!
Heaven and earth resonated in harmony, and the five bells shook the sky!
Ming Kong and Ming Ye's soul consciousness almost completely succumbed to Li Yuanshe bell tolling in Liyuan's voice, which suppressed all soul thoughts. But in the next instant on the verge of life and death, Ming Ye's soul Soul Rend Thunder Viper pupils suddenly swelled, and purple-black lightning marks erupted from the depths of his pupils.
"Nine Netherworlds - Thunder Explosion Forbidden Sense!"
At that moment, he poured all his soul power into the Soul Rend Thunder Viper without reservation. In an instant, the Thunder Viper's twin scales slashed across the void, transforming into ten thousand Thunder Soul Blades that tore through the Soul-Sealing Bell!
The Thunder Soul Blade Slash —the first bell, the [Spirit-Locking Bell], shattered!
"Break--!"
Under Ming Ye's furious roar, his soul blood splattered and his soul consciousness backfired, but he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opening and desperately widened the spatial distance.
At the same time, Ming Kong also launched a counterattack.
The "Soul Lightning Seed" in his chest, which had been completely fused with the Nether Soul Abyss Viper, now erupted with dazzling and blinding lightning and ghostly light.
"The Netherworld Souls Howl Back, the Soul Cliff Shakes the Abyss—The Source of Soul Rend Rift: Annihilation Lightning!!"
Suddenly, Ming Kong swung his Soul Spear, and a wheel of thunderous souls condensed before him. At its center was the phantom of the Nether Soul Abyss Viper, roaring angrily. Millions of soul chains coiled into a thunderous wheel imprint, striking directly at the second bell, the [Formation -Formation-Breaking Bell]!
Boom!!
At that moment, the world seemed to be reshaped, the void exploded into ten thousand lightning vortexes, the second bell shattered, and the array patterns collapsed.
However, this was just the beginning.
Li Yuanshe hardened slightly, and a hint of solemnity finally appeared in his eyes.
"... You guys can actually break two of my attacks."
He sighed softly and raised his finger to press the top of the clock.
"Then I'll show you the true [Silent Origin Soul Lock]."
Boom!!
The five bells Return to One, and the Heavenly Bell fully deployed its main formation. Billions of soul patterns reversed, intertwined, and recombined, condensing into the Soul Seal Domain of the Silent Source Realm: Bell Prison Heavenly Jail!
In that instant, the entire battlefield was forcibly transformed into a "closed soul domain," where time slowed down, space was frozen, and even the soul's consciousness was as if it were being restrained.
Ming Ye and Ming Kong were once again suppressed, and both Nether Soul Abyss Viper and Soul Rend Thunder Viper showed signs of being illusory and unstable.
"... If we keep going, we'll be locked up until even our names are erased..." Ming Ye gasped softly, his face pale.
Ming Kong gritted his teeth and responded in a low voice:
"Hold on... I'll use Soul Blood Reversal Explosion again, and we can break through!"
"Even if it burns my soul to ashes, I will break free of this Soul Prison!"
At that very moment, a faint but clear sound wave came from the distant edge of the battlefield:
"You... aren't you going to fight alone?"
It's Ming Zhen's voice!
The next moment, a figure shrouded in golden light and soul fire— Ming Zhen— burst through the air, spreading his hands and unleashing a Netherflame Soul Seal, Triple Rift Ring, directly at the Li Yuanshe Bell!
"Netherworld Soul Lock - Reversal of the Three Rings!!"
Boom--!!
This powerful attack forcefully blasted into the interior of the Bell Domain, causing the entire Bell Prison to tremble and revealing a brief crack!
Ming Ye's pupils contracted. "Now!"
Almost simultaneously, he and Ming Kong activated their remnant souls, unleashing a double explosion of thunder and a combined roar of two vipers. Taking advantage of this crack, the two of them burst out!
They broke free from the "Bell Prison Heavenly Jail"—and finally gained the initiative in the next round of fighting.
Li Yuanshe stood rooted to the spot, looking down at the slightly cracked Soul Bell, the killing intent in his eyes already materializing:
Li Yuanshe's expression was cold and stern. With a flick of his sleeve, he reactivated the slightly cracked Soul Bell.
"Even a broken bell can still bring peace to the world."
He spoke slowly, but his fingers were already forming a hand seal. The next moment, another layer of the "Consciousness-Extinguishing Wheel Formation" rose up beneath the five bells, and the void seemed to be swirling back like a vortex of soul consciousness, even the light in the sky was torn into black streaks.
Ming Kong and Ming Ye's gazes were solemn, and the soul pressure in their chests surged once again.
But at this very moment--
Two golden lights shone from between their fingers.
That was the Life-Extinguishing Spirit Pill bestowed by Qin Yu!
This pill was originally intended as a desperate measure to reverse the life force of someone on the verge of death or seriously injured, but the two of them took it voluntarily before the battle collapsed!
"The soul returns to its root—the lightning strikes its way to its doom!"
Ming Kong closed his eyes, put the pill into his mouth with his right hand, and a heat that scorched his soul and blood surged into his sea of consciousness. All the thunder soul power in his body burned like a sea in an instant!
Meanwhile, Ming Ye gritted his teeth and crushed the pill, blood gushing from his lips and teeth, and in an instant, a lightning-like mark appeared on his back!
The spirit of the Thunder Viper manifested directly on his spine!
"Soul Rend - Thunderous Silence!!!"
Boom boom boom--!!
After the Life-Extinguishing Spirit Pill erupted, the soul power of the two increased several times, and the Thunder Soul Breath almost tore a second rift in the entire "Soul Bell Prison Realm"!
Thunder Soul Inscriptions fully appeared on the Soul Spear of the Ming Kong. His figure rushed forward like a raging thunder serpent, and with a thrust of the Soul Spear, combined with the impact of the Nether Soul Abyss Viper's Tail, he pierced through the first layer of Soul Prison!
Ming Ye turned and swept his sword, the phantom of the Thunder Viper roared angrily, and bit down with a thunderous soul, directly tearing apart the barrier of annihilation released by Li Yuanshe!
"Roar--!!!"
Amidst the thunderous roar of the viper, the Soul Rend Thunder Poison instantly surged into the five main souls of the bells, and a piercing soul cry resounded in all directions, causing the entire bell domain to crack once again!
"... It actually managed to tear apart the Soul Bell's consciousness?" Li Yuanshe, finally showing emotion.
His gaze sharpened, and he said in a low, cold voice:
"Then... leave no survivors."
"Bell Soul - Sixth Layer of Seal: [Judgment of the Silent Toll]!"
Boom!!
Behind Li Yuanshe, the Soul Bell transformed into a Soul Prison, rotating to reveal nine rings of Soul Seal, each ring releasing a different Annihilation bell sound.
Now, the sixth ring road has been activated.
It was a completely silent, still wave, without the shape of a bell or the sound of a bell, but the thunder and soul fire of the entire battlefield were extinguished in an instant!
Ming Ye and Ming Kong's eyes were bloodshot!
Almost simultaneously, they were shaken by the silent shockwave, their ears ringing and their hearing shattering, their souls trembling as if being ripped from their bodies.
"Cough cough..."
Ming Kong coughed up blood again, his soul trembling to its extreme.
Ming Ye staggered backward, but at that very moment—
Ming Kong braced himself with one hand on the ground, forcefully stabilizing his swaying Soul Sea; his eyes were now extremely clear.
"Night has come, and we have no way out."
Ming Ye slowly raised his eyes, and lightning crackled in his pupils.
"It's time to try that move."
"Soul Fusion Technique - [Twin Abyss Lightning Prison: Silent Lightning Burning Together]!!!"
Rumble--!!
Supported by the Life-Extinguishing Spirit Pill, the two simultaneously unleashed their divine soul essence. The phantoms of the Soul Rend Thunder Viper and the Nether Soul Abyss Viper merged in the air, their tails intertwining, transforming into a two-headed Thunder Netherworld Divine Viper!
The Thunder Viper roared, and the Annihilation Thunder Soul Flame ignited once more in the sky. Pillars of thunder souls pierced through the Nine Bell Soul Rings, creating a series of booming sounds!
That was a combined attack of two souls, a feat never before seen in the Spirit Firmament Great Realm!
At this moment, Ming Kong and Ming Ye, with their soul-burning power, completely shattered Li Yuanshe Prison!
"--break!!"
With a roar from both of them, the combined lightning strike was like divine punishment descending once more, striking directly at the Soul Bell!
Boom boom boom!!!
The Soul Bell shattered, the sixth bell broke, and the power of the seventh and eighth bells was extinguished before it could be fully formed!
Li Yuanshe spat out a mouthful of pitch-black soul blood, his expression finally showing complete emotion!
He staggered backward, while Ming Kong and Ming Ye both fell after that attack!
"We... aren't... over yet!"
But just as Li Yuanshe was about to strike again and completely eliminate the two of them—
A streak of black and gold flame descended from the sky.
That's enough.
The Soul Spear of the Ming Zhen pierced the sky, and a sudden strike of [Profound Blaze Vein Rend] descended!
Li Yuanshe could even concentrate, the Soul Bell shattered, and he was sent flying hundreds of feet away like a kite with a broken string!
--The thunder had not yet completely dissipated, and the black-gold soul flame that had pierced through the battlefield was still slowly swirling in the air.
Ming Zhen slowly stepped out, the void beneath his feet growing increasingly silent, as if the realm of death had arrived. The spear in his hand had transformed into a "Silent Soul War Halberd," its tip gleaming with an ancient incantation lightning pattern, engraved with the Soul Rend Ancient Seal of the Netherworld Battle Clan, which had not appeared for a thousand years.
He looked at the Forbidden Seal General, Li Yuanshe, who was struggling to rise from the self-shattered bell prison not far away, and spoke calmly:
"If not for the Soul Bell's seal, you would be nothing more than a slave imprisoned in the underworld."
Li Yuanshe's eyes narrowed, and a huge crack appeared on the Soul-Locking Heavenly Bell behind him amidst the violent vibrations!
"You... are a descendant of the Youyan War Soul from back then..." Li Yuanshe coughed up blood as he spoke, his tone no longer calm, but instead revealing a sense of vigilance and oppression.
Who I am is not important.
Ming Zhen stepped forward and whispered:
"The important thing is that you—will die today."
He suddenly swung his halberd, and the entire Thunder Soul Battle Domain trembled!
The halberd's shadow cleaved the sky, and the [Blaze Soul Severs the Prison] technique swept across the Bell Domain, like a roaring black flame that burned the world, completely shattering the last two outer rings of the Soul Bell that Li Yuanshe back!
--Thump!!
The eighth ring collapsed!
--Thump!!!
The ninth ring is broken!
At this point, Li Yuanshe's arrogant nine-ringed soul bell was completely destroyed, leaving only the original primordial bell core floating in the air, its soul light fading and shattered like dust.
Li Yuanshe roared in fury, his divine sense surging as he forcibly gathered all the remnant souls onto the bell core, activating his final innate battle skill:
"The Soul-Locking Cry - A Silent Sacrifice to the Nine Senses!"
This is the Forbidden Seal General's only Ultimate killing technique, sacrificing one's life to the bell and tearing apart one's soul to drag the souls of all enemies before him into the "Eternal Silence Seal."
The void collapsed violently!
A soul-locking array with a diameter of a hundred miles crashed down. Ming Kong and Ming Ye were both seriously injured and unable to get up. Although Ming Zhen did not retreat, he could not completely withstand this ultimate technique!
Just then--
Qin Yu's figure slowly stepped in from outside the shattered array diagram, a ring-shaped mark flashing behind him.
Before the blue light even moved, the fighting spirit arrived first!
His gaze was calm, his tone cold:
"How dare you make a fuss over such a death knell?"
With a swift movement, the sword falls!
Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Seventh Form: Sever the Spirit Source Abyss!
Boom!!
The entire Soul-Locking Array was cleaved open at its central core by a single sword strike, and the Chain Soul Foundation Array collapsed under the sword's light!
Li Yuanshe's expression changed drastically; the Final Echo Technique he had just unleashed was forcibly severed!
"You..."
But he was too weak to speak!
The next moment, Ming Zhen gripped his halberd with both hands, suddenly leaped into the air, and roared like thunder:
"Phantom Flame Soul Rend - Final Form - Soul Annihilation!"
The halberd cleaved through the Heavenly Abyss, creating a dark, Soul Rend rift that stretched for hundreds of miles, completely piercing through Li Yuanshe's soul core!
"--puff!!!"
Li Yuanshe's pupils contracted sharply, his soul consciousness collapsed, and his entire soul body began to crumble from the inside!
Boom!!!
The legendary ancient warrior, the Forbidden Seal General, Li Yuanshe, exploded in mid-air, his soul bell shattered, its sound echoing throughout the Silent Realm.
Silence reigned in all directions, save for the thunderous roar that echoed through the heavens.
Although Ming Kong and Ming Ye were still kneeling on the ground, they had forced themselves to stand up. Looking at the fallen forbidden soul, what stirred in their hearts was not joy, but a silent determination.
Ming Zhen sheathed his halberd, silently gazing at the sky, as if through the flames of war he could see the blood-stained heavens.
The sky was ablaze with flames, and the earth itself burst into flames.
Before the Forbidden Seal General could completely dissipate, the soul of Li Yuanshe was engulfed by another unprecedented and terrifying ghostly flame!
A figure engulfed in black flames stepped out of the Netherworld Heavenly Abyss. His entire body was wreathed in flames like a nightmare, and he wore a "Demon Bone Soul Robe". He had no facial features, only a pair of cold, dark blue soul eyes that swept across the surroundings.
Behind it—ten thousand "Soul-Devouring Fire Wraith" transformed into the long, dark river of the underworld, stretching across the sky, seemingly devouring the very essence of heaven and earth!
Nether Sha General - Kui Junhuo.
--Among the five ancient soul warriors, the one most skilled in killing with soul flames.
One person can incinerate an entire realm; a single thought can annihilate a soul!
"You are nothing but lackeys and ants of the Spirit Firmament Great Realm."
The voice of Kui Junhuo emerged from the soul flames, like thunder and a curse, "Today, I will—burn away your obsessions."
He raised his hand, and ten thousand "Soul-Devouring Fire Wraith" in the void roared simultaneously, condensing into a ten-thousand-foot-tall fire soul giant shadow, which crashed down!
And those who face it head-on --
These were Qian Ruishan, who had come to fight alongside Qin Yu, and Qin Yu walked slowly with a cold gaze.
"This is the first time I've faced an army of '100,000 Soul Shadows'."
Qian Ruishan's expression was solemn and cold. Two swords appeared in her hand. The Azure Snow Divine Sword vibrated with several soul patterns, while the other sword was slightly purple, as if it contained extreme cold.
You are not alone.
Qin Yu smiled faintly and took a step forward.
Boom--!!
Battle breaks out!
⸻
Phase One: The Fire Soul's Overwhelming Force
One hundred thousand "Soul-Devouring Fire Wraith" rushed towards Qin Yu and Qian Ruishan. Their soul flames did not burn physical bodies, but only burned soul consciousness, forcing Qian Ruishan to quickly mobilize her soul consciousness array!
She cleaved through a hundred-foot-long soul flame with her sword, but was instantly surrounded by another layer of soul fire, her soul consciousness feeling as if it were being devoured by a thousand insects!
"Ice Soul Barrier - Profound Extreme Snow Curtain!"
Qian Ruishan instantly deployed a frost barrier, repelling most of the soul flames. Simultaneously, she unleashed a soul skill with a backhand sword strike as swift as snow.
[Ice Extreme: The Realm of Ten Thousand Frost Swords]!
The sword rained down like snow, shattering nearly 20% of the 100,000 soul flames, instantly turning the edge of the battlefield into a frigid snowfield!
"Not bad." Kui Junhuo smiled coldly, "But..."
He spread his five fingers, and the myriad shadows of soul flames behind him coalesced into one—
"Sha Flame Main Soul!"
This soul, resembling a fiery demon god, wielded a soul furnace and struck at Qian Ruishan!
"Soul-Slaying Will - First Realm Breaking!"
Qian Ruishan roared, her twin swords clashing like ten layers of ice rainbows, barely managing to block the attack, but she was still shaken so badly that she coughed up blood and staggered back thirty feet!
--The true form of the Kui Junhuo has not yet made its move!
⸻
Qin Yu made a move
"Stop! If you dare hurt her, you'll never have existed today!"
Qin Yu gripped the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword tightly in his right hand. Beneath the sword's edge, the Azure Source gradually awakened, distorting the entire battlefield space.
"Let me show you what Annihilation is."
He took a step forward, Azure Ring of light shone from behind him, silencing the world!
The Seventh Form of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Sever the Spirit Source Abyss!
[A single slash severs all traces of the soul, karma, and destiny—making them impossible to rebuild!]
Qin Yu slashed down with his sword!
The sword light pierced the sky like a vast expanse of water, and in an instant, the entire 100,000 "Soul-Devouring Fire Wraith" disintegrated into 50,000 souls, while the Sha Flame Main Soul was directly struck by the sword and exploded!
Kui Junhuo's expression turned serious for the first time. He unleashed his innate battle technique with a powerful right palm strike:
"Fire of Annihilation - Annihilation of the Ten Consciousnesses!"
--Upon unleashing this technique, all ten layers of soul consciousness ignited simultaneously, unleashing a destructive Soul Sea constructed with the power of Netherworld Fiends, attempting to drag Qin Yu into a soul consciousness annihilation purgatory!
"Origin Destroyer - Ninth Form: Sever Observation, Leaving No Mirror!"
The sword intent returned, Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword sliced through the void from the other side!
Qin Yu cleaved his sword into the Soul Sea, splitting the entire "Annihilation Soul Sea" in two!
Just as Qian Ruishan struggled to her feet, Qin Yu whispered:
"Shanshan, seal the formation."
Qian Ruishan nodded, mobilizing her entire body's ice soul and sealing Soul Seal to condense a dual-soul battle formation - Ice Burial Sealing Realm!
"Origin Destroyer, Final Form, Tenth Form - Trace and Sever, Leaving No Wheel!!" The Source Silence Severs All.
[The wheel of Heaven's Way cannot be turned, the thought of the soul cannot arise; once the Sword of Origin Destroyer is drawn, reincarnation is severed, and destiny ends.]
The sword flashed, and the world fell silent.
The flames had not yet died out, but the soul had already departed.
Boom!!!
The Nether Sha General, Kui Junhuo, was utterly Annihilation on the spot.
The remnant souls are gone, the entire soul army has perished, the fiery domain stretches for a hundred miles, and deathly silence reigns like ice!
--Only Qin Yu and Qian Ruishan stood quietly in the center, their eyes meeting lightly, unspoken yet conveying a thousand words.
Above the vast sky, the clouds have lost their color, and the wind has fallen silent.
After the Nether Sha General Kui Junhuo Annihilation, a gray-white pillar of light slowly descended from the depths of the heavens in the center of the entire battle zone.
That pillar of light was not divine power, but something beyond the three souls and seven senses—the "Will of Judgment and Punishment"!
It was a fear greater than life and death; all those with a soul felt their soul wheel stop, their lifeline freeze, and their sea of consciousness tremble at that moment.
A figure slowly walked through the gray-white mist.
--He held a halberd of judgment, his upper body was draped in a "Soul Punishment Torn Robe", and behind him were ten thousand "chains of fate" piercing through the void, each chain locking the source of the ultimate soul of a certain era and a certain race.
Tu Xingji, the Soul-Bearer, is about to enter battle.
He was once the soul of executioner of all races;
He once held the ultimate will of the Judgment Soul Heaven Hall;
Now, having entered the Immortal Antiquity Era, I cultivate only one technique, named:
"Hold the Soul with a Single Thought."
"Xuancang Shenying..."
Tu Xingji slowly raised his head, and from beneath the expressionless gray mask came an irresistible, lawful voice. "The mistakes you made should disqualify you from existing in this world."
The response he received was a whisper as vast as the heavens:
"... In this world, only I can judge myself."
One person, one step.
Xuancang Shenying, the number one person in the Spirit Firmament Great Realm, the Silent Origin Venerable Rank Fifth Stage Perfection, has appeared!
⸻
Judge Fate, Lock the Realm vs. Ten Sources Shake the Void
Tu Xingji swung his halberd down, and ten life chains condensed into the "Soul Punishment Heavenly Locks", directly locking onto Xuancang Shenying's soul consciousness in all directions.
This technique is not an attack, but rather a direct "judgment and sealing" of the soul. Even the Silent Origin being, once locked, will have their Soul Sea severed into an endless void!
Xuancang Shenying neither dodged nor evaded, but raised his right palm, and ancient "Mystic Dao Source Ring" slowly rotated from within his body.
He remained silent, only slowly pointing a finger.
"Ten Sources Shake the Void."
--The ten Soul Sources activated simultaneously, shattering all Soul-Locking Seals with a single finger.
The ten overlapping rings, like a divine vein hanging upside down, surged backwards towards the source of the life chain, and the "Soul Punishment Heavenly Locks" shattered into four pieces in an instant!
"... You managed to break the first time, but what about the second time?"
Tu Xingji suddenly released his Fate Soul technique:
"Soul-Binding Judgment: A Thousand Judgments!"
Thousands of soul chains, like thunderous curses from the abyss of souls, poured into the Xuan Cang Soul Sea in an instant, attempting to adjudicate and erase its "Complete History of Soul Consciousness" and "Complete Source of Destiny"!
--This is a complete soul-severing combat technique based on destiny!
⸻
Divine Shadow Soul Arts - Reverse Eternity, Break the Source
The Xuancang Shenying stood motionless in the very center of the myriad chains.
He slowly closed his eyes, and in the next instant, the myriad soul chains stopped and froze on their own, as if the "judgment trajectory" of the entire world had lost its basis!
Xuancang Shenying spoke:
"Your so-called laws can only judge others, not me."
Your mistake was --
"You've taken me for a 'soul'."
The next moment--
Xuancang Shenying's twin pupils transformed into the "Silent Eternal Dual-Pole Wheel", one on the left being the "Pole of the Primordial Source" and the other on the right the "Wheel of Final Silence".
"Soul Heaven Shatters Consciousness - Reversing Eternity and Severing the Wheel!"
[This technique is the Source Soul - Reverse Order Judgment Technique]
--Directly reverse the entire judgment system constructed by the opponent, and redirect the enemy's entire soul magic back to your own life source!
Tu Xingji retreated abruptly, but it was too late! The 100,000 soul chains around him shattered, and cracks appeared in the Trial of Fate!
He roared, unleashing a powerful Ultimate soul technique:
"Chief Punisher: Ji Lü - Ten Thousand Tribulations Soul Judgment!"
[Directly summons the Presiding Punishment Domain, the Ten Thousand Tribulations Soul Mountain, to determine whether an enemy soul is "permissible by the world." If determined to be an "intolerant soul," it is forcibly erased.]
Xuancang Shenying finally moved, his right palm tearing through the air, and the power of the Silent Origin surged forth!
Divine Shadow - Ultimate Soul Technique - Nine Heavens Soul Tribulation Diagram!
This move is not an attack, but a "Soul Consciousness Forbidden Lord- level Counter-Eradication Array"!
Before the Ten Thousand Tribulations Soul Judgment could even land, the Soul Diagram descended like a barrier, forcibly rewriting the trajectory of the Soul Judgment!
Boom!!!!
Tu Xingji roared and flew backward, his soul and consciousness collapsing, his life force reverberating, and his sea of consciousness crumbling!
How could you...?
I said that.
Xuancang Shenying spoke calmly:
No one in this world can kill me.
Soul-Bearing Tu Xingji -- Severely Injured!
His soul body shattered, his soul chains broke, leaving only a wisp of life-giving soul consciousness. He forcibly escaped and withdrew from the battle zone!
Tu Xingji roared and flew backward, his soul consciousness collapsed, and the main punishment soul chain broke completely.
In this battle, he used the power of Soul Judgment to dominate the realm, but under the unshakable suppression of the source soul by Xuancang Shenying, all his foundations for Soul Judgment were completely destroyed.
He dared not fight again.
His soul forcefully condensed into a [Void Escape Shadow], attempting to flee tens of thousands of miles away and rejoin the Immortal Antiquity Array!
The grayish-white soul escaped, transforming into a wisp of afterimage, piercing through the edge of the battle zone in the void.
--Almost detached.
But at this moment, a figure quietly appeared on the other side of the void, standing facing that wisp of soul.
It's Qin Yu.
He stood deep within the heavens, slowly raising a beam of light in his hand.
That's not the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword.
It was not the Ultimate breaking point of the Ring Spear.
That is--
Azure Ring ·One Style: Spirit Edge Piercing the Realm.
"... You don't deserve to stay."
His tone was indifferent, devoid of anger, only conveying Leng Jue judgment.
Buzz!!
A ring bursts forth from the sky.
Its entire body is azure, resembling the clear color of the Realm Sea, or the primordial light of life's origin.
This is not a sword.
It wasn't a single cut.
Rather, it signifies "Transcending Boundaries"—the annihilation of all escape routes, spatial layers, and causal trajectories!
The Soul Escape Technique of Tu Xingji, the Soul- Tu Xingji, was instantly shattered into countless fragments, like porcelain.
He didn't even have time to react, not even to utter a final sound, before Annihilation completely within [Spirit Edge Piercing the Realm].
--From now on, there will be no Tu Xingji in this world.
Even the meaning of his existence was erased from the very foundation of the world by this sharp edge.
The sky suddenly darkened, and the wind died down.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Spirit Firmament Battlefield was plunged into Realm of Light.
Darkness descended, obscuring all phenomena.
The clouds of utter stillness surged from the heavens, and the tolling of the celestial bells seemed to be forcibly shattered by an invisible giant hand.
In an instant, the landscape lost its color, all living beings prostrated themselves, and time stood still.
"... You, in the end, killed them."
This voice was neither a deity's roar nor a raging spirit's groan; instead, it was utterly calm, as if proclaiming a preordained judgment of destiny.
The void itself tore open, and a figure slowly stepped out:
The Miyan Mystic Restriction.
He was dressed in a black robe of Xuanxing, with ten domains of destiny locked at the corners of his sleeves. His feet trembled on the remnants of an era, and there was a "world-severing punishment mark" between his eyebrows. Streaks of light, like the collapse of an era and the destruction of the future, folded around him.
He didn't make a move, but all the living powerhouses, whether they were at the Silent Source Realm, the Realm Lord Realm, or even Qin Yu Xuancang Shenying, all felt the terrifying shock of "their own destiny being controlled by someone else" in that instant!
This is the head of the Eight Watchers--
"Era of Principal Punishment - Miyan Mystic Restriction"
From the moment he appears, he holds the power of life and death!
He stepped forward slowly, and with each step, an "Epoch Reflection" in the sky collapsed. It was the shadow of the billions of life spirits he had severed, making way for the executioner.
The "Presiding Punishment Severance Stele" slowly emerged from the spatial rift, inscribed with the words: "Those sentenced by Heaven's punishment have no reason to be pardoned."
The world was silent, except for the cracks in the distant sky that continued to collapse.
Xuancang Shenying stood before Qin Yu, clad in a silent golden robe, his aura surging like the Heavenly Abyss and the abyss. He held the [Realm Source Silence-Suppressing Seal] in one hand and gently stroked the Silent Origin Divine Sword at his waist with the other.
His gaze was like lightning, fixed on the slowly approaching Miyan Mystic Restriction, his tone as cold and stern as metal striking the ground:
"You've arrived too late; all the generals have already been annihilated."
"I never care about the past." Miyan Mystic Restriction smiled and gently raised his arm.
At that moment, everyone seemed to see that he was not raising an arm, but rather the penal code of an entire era.
Boom--!
The monument to the punishment has fallen to the world.
In the sky, a colossal, jet-black monument descended with a deafening roar. Its surface was inscribed with the reflections of countless souls, and the inscription was not written words, but rather "the whispers and wails of the dead."
Every being who was slain, their former consciousness, regret, and obsession are all solidified into inscriptions within them!
At this moment, the earth trembled and the heavens seemed to perish. Before the execution tablet had even truly landed, the entire Spirit Firmament Battlefield was already gripped by a strange, oppressive "fate-freezing" atmosphere.
Xuancang Shenying suddenly took a step forward, and the Silent Origin Divine Sword slashed through the air!
"[Silent Judgment - Boundary Vein Severing]!"
The sword light sliced through the sky, like Silent Origin galaxy rolling back, leaving a deadly trail!
However, the monument trembled slightly but did not budge an inch.
"The pulse of the realm is not worth judging." A "Presiding Punishment Seal" appeared in Miyan Mystic Restriction's hand and he gently pressed it down.
Buzz!!!
Xuan Cang's sword light disintegrated into countless fragments of reversed time three inches away from the execution monument, turning into stardust and falling to the ground.
Qin Yu frowned, stepped forward, his Azure Ring trembled slightly, and his fighting spirit surged like waves in his sea of consciousness!
"You determine fate with punishment, so I will wage war by breaking fate."
Miyan Mystic Restriction smiled faintly, "The Azure Ring within you... is the only reason I can use the full power of the penal law."
Beneath the Xingbei Town, destiny was suppressed, and the entire Spirit Firmament Battlefield seemed to be sealed into some ancient theater of judgment.
At that moment, even the wind died.
Xuancang Shenying horizontally beneath the shadow of the monument, his arm trembling slightly, his Sword Qi dissipating, and cold sweat beading on his forehead. His gaze sharpened as he looked at Qin Yu and whispered:
"This person is in charge of the era's punishment, and he has temporarily rewritten all the laws of the field. We must first break the 'Source Judgment' ring!"
Before he could finish speaking, Miyan Mystic Restriction lightly stepped into the void and pointed out with a finger.
It was a thin, grayish-white cord that split open in his palm, as if it were a Fate Soul- binding chain that had bound all living beings in the world since the beginning of time!
"[Source Judgment Soul Cord], severs the origin of the soul, Forbidden Origin of the body."
The chains do not pierce the physical body, but bypass the exterior and strike directly at the source of consciousness, the soul!
In that instant, Qin Yu felt a suffocating cough from the depths of his soul. The Azure Ring moved slightly to resist, but the Soul Chain evolved automatically, attempting to penetrate the area protected by the Azure Ring!
Xuancang Shenying roared and slammed the [Realm Source Silence-Suppressing Seal] into the air, activating his own Silent Origin talent:
"[Silent Abyss Shield Realm]!"
--The tenfold Silent Realm rippled outwards, instantly enveloping Qin Yu.
"Heh." Miyan Mystic Restriction shook his head and smiled, then said slowly:
"You don't understand, this isn't magic, it's law."
Buzz!
The Soul Rope did not break through the shield barrier, but instead bypassed the interface rules and struck the very essence of the sea of consciousness!
Qin Yu's face paled slightly, Azure Ring around his body vibrated violently, resisting the soul-locking power that felt like a death pact.
At this moment, he suddenly raised the Black Bone War Spear in his hand, and the first move of the Ring Spear was released abruptly:
"Ring Spear - World-Slaying Slash!"
In an instant, the spear burst forth with a chilling light that pierced through countless realms, severing the soul cord that was binding Xuan Cang with a single strike!
However, Qin Yu himself was still bound by the four soul chains, and the power of the Azure Ring could not completely expel him!
Miyan Mystic Restriction stepped forward slowly, his tone calm yet resounding:
"Do you know that the end of this soul-binding chain... is not you, but rather 'all your past knowledge'?"
"I will make you forget why you exist before you kill me."
Xuancang Shenying slashed upwards in fury, unleashing the [Silent Judgment - Boundary Source Reversal Thunder] technique. A bolt of tribulation lightning, like a shattered boundary chain, struck the Miyan Mystic Restriction.
Boom!
A sudden clap of lightning shook the entire space violently!
But Miyan Mystic Restriction remained motionless. He simply raised his hand, grasped the Silent Lightning in his palm, and crushed it.
The Azure Ring trembled slightly, the spear seemed to gleam, and the soul rope coiled around it like a snake.
Qin Yu stood calmly in the center, his figure undisturbed, but cracks had already begun to appear in his sea of consciousness.
Each soul cord not only binds his current soul consciousness, but also firmly seals away all his cognition and traces of "having existed", severing the possibility of the "source body principle".
Xuancang Shenying suddenly sensed something was wrong and roared angrily:
"He's not killing you, he's making you feel like you've never truly lived."
Miyan Mystic Restriction's expression was indifferent, his right hand outstretched.
It was a halo composed entirely of destiny and laws, emerging from the void.
The ring was unmarked and unmarked, only with rings of hidden time flowing through it, reflecting the silhouette of Qin Yu's entire life cycle: birth, cultivation, battle, bloodshed, and transformation.
"[The Fate Ring Initial Judgment] will determine whether you will survive in this life."
Boom!!
The Fate Ring rotated, illuminating the surrounding area, as if the entire Spirit Firmament was beginning to re-examine its own logic because of this ring.
Within the heavens and earth, countless primordial energies were "rejected," gradually stripping away Qin Yu's presence.
"Whom have you slain? What was your name? Who are you?"
These problems suddenly became unsolvable.
Qin Yu's breathing slowed abruptly, and he felt countless familiar auras and auras "related to him" being swept away from everything.
Even on the battlefield, some soul beasts and array spirits "failed to recognize him."
"... This is the true terror of the power of punishment." Xuan Cang was secretly shocked.
This is not about destroying someone's power, but about destroying their "existential structure".
"If you take another step, he will completely disappear from the world's rules." Miyan Mystic Restriction calm, his tone cold and indifferent.
Xuancang Shenying gritted his teeth and gathered all his strength:
"You want to ruin him... I'll ruin you first."
[Silent Origin Combat Technique - Epoch-Judging Silent Shattering Seal]!
He suddenly transformed into a torrent of primordial energy, bursting forth from the sky and striking the Fate Ring with a palm!
Almost simultaneously, Qin Yu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The Azure Ring begins to rotate.
"I don't need the world to remember me, only... to remember what I'm going to destroy."
Boom--!
Just as the Fate Ring condensed again, preparing to completely erase Qin Yu's "soul label", the second form of the Ring Spear, Silent Severing Abyss, suddenly erupted!
This spearhead points directly at the bottom of the Fate Ring —the rift where twisted souls intersect!
Lights burst forth, lightning and fire surged, and tiny cracks appeared in the Fate Ring!
Miyan Mystic Restriction raised his eyebrows for the first time.
You can break it the first time, but you can't break it the second time.
He raised his left hand again.
The next law of destiny will be the ring that severs all of the soul's memories.
⸻
The Fate Ring Initial Judgment suggests that Qin Yu will be completely eliminated from the "world's logic"!
Xuancang Shenying forcibly broke the ring, and Qin Yu countered with "Silent Severing Abyss," with the power of the Azure Ring showing initial signs of breaking the ring.
However, Miyan Mystic Restriction did not show any true anger.
[Since fate has already decided, and the soul has not yet been extinguished—then let it be decided once more.]
Before Xuancang Shenying could even stand firmly, two resounding clangs suddenly echoed from the depths of his sea of consciousness!
Miyan Mystic Restriction clenched his right palm, and an object reappeared in the void.
It was a chain-like soul artifact, two in total, one white and one black, wrapped around his palm.
"[The Locks of Dual Judgment]: one trial of physiology, the other of reason."
He uttered a single judgment:
"Xuancang Shenying, whose soul threads entangled an outsider once, is sentenced to: Limit Suppression; Qin Yu, whose power against life recklessly roamed the Heavenly Realm, is sentenced to: Source Decomposition."
Boom--!
Two chains fell from the sky in an instant, like divine punishment whips, instantly binding Qin Yu and Xuan Cang!
This lock is not physical; it does not bind the physical body or the soul. Instead, it directly penetrates the dimension of destiny, locking the operational trajectories of two different levels: the "physiological flow" and the "soul system."
In the next instant, Qin Yu felt his sea of consciousness freeze, and even the Azure Ring seemed to sink into an abyss, its operation slowing down.
Xuan Cang's expression changed drastically; the entire core of Silent Origin's talent was actually shaken back by the chains!
"Cough..." He spat out a mouthful of dark purple soul blood.
"This lock is no longer a combat technique," Xuan Cang murmured, "It's the execution of a law..."
--This is the essence of "Era-based Punishment": to define any behavior as "crime" and then carry out an indisputable trial.
Miyan Mystic Restriction slowly stepped down from the execution tablet, the black and white locks in his hands swirling like dragons, his voice chilling:
"The so-called Fate Soul and Source Ring are both things born from the logic of the world."
"And I will only examine why you are 'qualified' to exist within this logic."
Just as the chains completely sealed off their ability to resist!
Qin Yu suddenly lowered his head, Azure Ring vibrated violently.
"I've already used the third move of the Azure Ring..." he murmured, "Then let's try... the pre-drive before the fourth move."
He suddenly raised his right palm, forcefully tearing apart the "Reverse Time Spiritual Light" that had not been activated in his sea of consciousness.
[Silent Origin: Trace the Spirit Abyss]!
Click!
A silent burst of lightning erupted from his soul, instantly igniting the energy flow in all layers of his sea of consciousness!
Although the double locks remained, the power of the Azure Ring directly passed through the "Judgment Seal" and found a counter-vibration echo within the chain gaps!
Xuancang Shenying also rekindled his fighting spirit at this moment, roaring:
"Sever the source of my Silent Origin? First, break through your prison boundaries!"
He unleashed his ultimate secret technique—[World Tremor: Silent Lightning Tribulation]!
A blast of energy, like thunder and fire, struck Miyan Mystic Restriction squarely on the left shoulder!
However, Miyan Mystic Restriction only took a step back and lightly raised his palm; the bloodstains were extinguished before they could spill out.
He said coldly:
"You two... are indeed worth my serious attention."
⸻
The Locks of Dual Judgment has been applied, with Xuancang Shenying and Qin Yu's souls locked together and their physical bodies locked, resulting in complete suppression!
However, Qin Yu used the "Draw the Realm to Cross the Lightning" technique to slightly break through the lock, and the Xuan Cang Tribulation Lightning counterattacked, barely managing to break free from the restrictions of Judgment.
Space Silence and silence reigned; the Soul Realm was still.
With the Locks of Dual Judgment half-collapsed, Miyan Mystic Restriction finally used the true "Epoch Master Punishment" Source Power.
He slowly raised his head, and a beam of "life light" in his eyes faintly reflected the workings of the entire Spirit Firmament!
He wasn't looking at the enemy, but at the root cause of sin in the entire world, the "spiritual fabric" of the entire universe.
"You... have already been punished by Heaven."
He slowly stretched out his right hand, pointing into the void.
The next moment, a Heavenly Steps of Judgment and Punishment appeared above the dome—
It is not a material level, but a "step of judgment" built with rules as its bones, destiny as its veins, and the Dao of Heaven as its soul. Each step taken is the condensation of the destructive power of an era.
"My three steps are enough to annihilate you all."
The Miyan Mystic Restriction.
Boom!!!
He ascended the steps in one step, and the sky seemed to collapse, shattering all spatial logic!
First Stage: The Fall of the Fate Core!
A wave of judgment struck the depths of Xuancang Shenying's sea of consciousness, shattering his soul core and instantly suppressing the Foundation of Silent Origin to only 30% of its power!
"Ugh!" Xuan Cang gritted his teeth and coughed up blood, barely managing to stay upright.
Second Stage: Annihilation of Causal Light!
Miyan Mystic Restriction stepped another step, his feet seemingly burning with the light of all worlds, and a strange black flame scorched Qin Yu's soul sea!
It was a backlash from the "cause of the past," and everything Qin Yu had experienced—cultivation, slaying enemies, comprehending the ring, obtaining the source—was all reflected back at him!
The Azure Ring trembled violently, Qin Yu's sea of consciousness twisted, and he nearly exploded, but he gripped the Black Bone War Spear and roared:
"I, Qin Yu, do not rely on fate—fate is rewritten by me!"
Combat Skill Activated: [Silent Origin - Eternally Sever the Heavenly Balance]!
The force of the Heavenly Balance directly Shatter Cause the flames of light, forcibly neutralizing the backlash and burns in an instant!
"Can it still be broken?" Miyan Mystic Restriction finally narrowed his eyes.
He lifted his foot and took his third step!
Third Stage: The Silent Judgment of the Wheel of Effects!
Boom--!
Countless threads of fruit descended from the dome, like countless chains of fate, all enveloping Qin Yu and Xuan Cang!
--If this attack succeeds, it will cause the "future consequences of all their actions" to erupt prematurely at this moment, like a thunderbolt sweeping across the land, making them unable to withstand any damage that has not yet occurred!
Just then!
Xuancang Shenying roared, "Qin Yu is using his ultimate move—if we don't act now, we're all dead!"
Qin Yu raised the Azure Ring, and the Azure Ring finally turned around with a roar, its four sections of texture vibrating simultaneously!
He murmured:
"Azure Ring, Fourth Form... Realm Abyss Reverse Evolution, are you ready?"
Miyan Mystic Restriction snorted, "You are not qualified."
Qin Yu's expression was calm, and he spoke slowly and deliberately:
You are not qualified to speak.
[If all other arts are lost, only the abyss can be returned to.]
The Judgment Steps were completed in three steps, and the entire Spirit Firmament Realm paled in comparison. The future fruits of Qin Yu and Xuancang Shenying were prematurely stripped away, like countless thunderbolts raging and burning their sea of consciousness and soul domain!
Xuan Cang swayed, coughing up blood several times despite his efforts to hold on. This was due to the fact that his life essence had been suppressed by three levels in succession, and his body at the Silent Origin Venerable Rank was nearing its Limit!
And Qin Yu--
At this moment, however, all was utterly silent.
He slowly raised his right palm, and the Azure Ring in his hand, symbolizing "the only origin," had fully lit up its four lines.
"Boundary Abyss: Reverse Derivation"
Four words uttered lightly, and the heavens changed once more!
Suddenly, the whole world felt like it was being "mirror-reflected"—the heavens were turning upside down, cause and effect were reversing, and the logic of combat techniques was beginning to crumble from "result" to "beginning"!
Miyan Mystic Restriction narrowed his eyes. In that instant, he felt the three steps of judgment he had constructed collapsing one by one!
"What power... not even time is included..."
Azure Ring - Fourth Form - Realm Abyss Reverse Evolution!
• Effect 1: Reverses all of the enemy's "pre-planned" combat skills, stripping them from the "result" to the "cause before it even began";
Effect Two: All enemy energy, weapons, techniques, and internal logic are reversed and destroyed;
Effect 3: Possesses the authority to forcibly terminate the "reason for existence" of combat skills, allowing the enemy-slaying technique to be conceived from its "initial design stage".
With this technique unleashed, the Heavenly Steps of Judgment and Punishment collapsed like sand, and all three levels of the cycle crumbled.
First Stage - The Fall of the Fate Core → Reversed! The Xuan Cang Soul Core returns in its entirety.
Second Stage - Annihilation of Causal Light → Collapse! Qin Yu's sea of consciousness surged with the light of reversal, extinguishing the black flames.
Third Stage - Silent Judgment of the Wheel of Effects → Annihilation! All future damage harvested prematurely is reversed back to the "time when it could not be unleashed".
Miyan Mystic Restriction's eyes widened in shock, and he actually took a half step back for the first time.
He looked at Qin Yu, and the Black Bone War Spear and the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, enhanced by the power of the Azure Ring, revealed a barely perceptible abyssal aura—the true fluctuations of the "Principles of the Abyss."
"You... used the authority of the Lord of Reason?"
Qin Yu spoke slowly, his voice low and deep:
"This is the abyss of reconstruction I bestowed upon the world."
"Your power is built on the logic of the world, while I possess the power of 'rewriting'."
Miyan Mystic Restriction's gaze was like a sword, fixed intently on Qin Yu.
He realized--
Qin Yu's weapon is not a weapon of this era, but a [Weapon of Ruler] that transcends all weapon dimensions, possessing the ability to reconstruct the "world spellcasting mechanism"!
It's not for "fighting," but for "overturning the rules of fighting!"
Now--
All the laws of judgment, the incantations of cause and effect, the pronouncements of destiny and tribulation, the techniques of punishment, and the chains of qi all crumbled into dust!
The battlefield is now back in balance!
Xuancang Shenying raised his head, a glint of heat appearing in his eyes for the first time, and uttered a soft shout:
"A brilliant [Reverse Derivation]."
Miyan Mystic Restriction laughed, his voice transforming into a whisper that seemed to echo the pronouncements of a thousand-year-old deity condemning the traitors of the world.
"You are ultimately... just an unformed child."
He stretched out his palm, and the "Epoch Chief Punishment Lock" appeared out of thin air—a black and gold chain interwoven from the three realms of destiny, cause and effect, time logic, and divine will, representing the entire "Judgment of Life and Death in the Realm".
Once this lock is engaged, the entire battlefield's momentum is instantly disrupted!
Xuancang Shenying could no longer gather combat skills, and even Azure Ring was suppressed for a breath.
"Lock down existence, determine the root cause!"
Miyan Mystic Restriction roared in fury, and the entire audience resonated with the laws of the universe; even the Soul Sea emitted a mournful cry!
⸻
But Qin Yu neither dodged nor retreated.
He slowly raised the Azure Ring in his hand.
--The four ring patterns flowed and the Realm Abyss Reverse Evolution continued to extend, while inside the Azure Ring, there was a slight tremor, reflecting the initial trace of the fifth ring of light.
He exhaled and said calmly:
"What you call a decree is nothing more than another form of tyranny in controlling the rules."
The Black Bone War Spear is raised horizontally, unleashing the third combat technique!
Ring Spear, Third Form: Heaven-Extinguishing Ash!
The heavens shattered and all consciousness collapsed!
That was a strike that Realm Severing, souls, and divine principles, directly severing the time-limit link of the "Main Punishment Chain," causing all fate judgments to return to the state of chaos and uncertainty!
Miyan Mystic Restriction enraged again, and his left palm solidified once more!
"Then it's my [final ruling]."
⸻
[Ultimate Skill: Heavenly Derivation Punishment's End - Ten Thousand Causes Silent Seal]
With this move, the entire Spirit Firmament completely collapsed!
Cause and effect collapsed, the sea of consciousness crumbled, the future timeline was completely severed, and even the space around Qin Yu began to structurally disintegrate!
This strike was enough to annihilate ten Silent Origin, surpassing the destruction Limit of an entire era.
Xuan Cang shouted, "Don't take it head-on!!!"
But Qin Yu didn't dodge.
He gently raised the Azure Ring to his forehead, and a brand new blue light suddenly shone brightly!
The fifth ring of shadows—briefly appears!
He uttered a single word:
"End the war, and I will have my final say."
Azure Ring - Fourth Form Reignition: Realm Abyss Reverse Evolution - Ultimate Reversal--
"Origin Negation"!!
--All magic, all techniques, all judgment, all logic of existence... all vanish completely upon the point that "the cause Unborn!"
I won't break your technique; I'll make your technique never even exist.
⸻
The Ultimate collision erupts at this moment.
The entire Spirit Firmament was plunged into a chaotic tearing that lasted for hundreds of breaths.
As the dust settled, Miyan Mystic Restriction knelt in mid-air, his soul core completely shattered. Looking at Qin Yu, he showed signs of exhaustion for the first time.
"So... you are the ultimate judge."
The next moment--
Within his sea of consciousness, the "Epoch Chief Punishment Divine Seal" burned, along with its existence, energy, weapons, techniques, and divine sense, all turning to dust.
--Head of the Eight Supervisors, Chief Punisher of the Era, Silent Origin Venerable Rank Fifth Tier, the Miyan Mystic Restriction, utterly Annihilation!
The battlefield of Spirit Firmament has returned to silence.
Qin Yu gripped the Black Bone War Spear tightly, standing atop the Realm Breaking. The Azure Ring gently rotated, emitting five faint rays of light that illuminated the heavens.
Xuancang Shenying coughed up blood and laughed, gazing at Qin Yu in the distance, and whispered:
"From this day forward—the ruler of the Spirit Firmament Great Realm is none other than Qin Yu."
