A hundred feet away, Ye Ting sat cross-legged, the medicinal power continuously spreading within his body, and the cracks in his Fate Soul were slowly healing. Although his face was still pale, his gaze never left the great battle in the sky.
When he witnessed Qin Yu shatter the Ruins Ashen Returning Light strike, and Hua Lingxi was sent flying and coughing up blood, a smile finally appeared on his pale face. He gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly shook his head. "You... you think you can beat Master?"
Ye Ting gazed at the disheveled Hua Lingxi in the distance, a hint of mockery playing on his lips. "When my master subdued me, I didn't even have the right to resist with a single sword strike." "You..." "Still too green." After saying this, he closed his eyes again to meditate, but his Fate Soul remained locked on the entire battlefield, ready to strike again at any moment if Qin Yu needed it.
On the other side, Hua Lingxi slowly steadied herself. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and for the first time, a look of near madness appeared in her pale golden eyes. She knew that relying on the Nine Stillness Heavenly Radiance Spear would not bring her any chance of winning, and a resolute glint flashed in her eyes as she thought of this.
"Qin Yu..." "You forced me to do this!" Boom-- She simultaneously formed hand seals, and her Fate Soul essence suddenly ignited. An ancient and incomparable primordial aura slowly rose from her body. Then, a small light mark cracked between her brows, and a divine weapon that had been dormant for countless years slowly flew out.
It was a beast-headed battle mace, dark gold in color, over nine feet long. The mace was not made of gold or iron, but rather formed by sections of ancient beast bones that were naturally joined together. Each bone section was covered with purplish-black primordial Dao patterns. The mace's head was the head of an extremely ferocious ancient beast.
The beast had two horns pointing skyward, fangs clashing, and a constantly pulsating dark purple crystal core embedded between its brows. Each pulsation of the crystal core was accompanied by a deep roar, as if an ancient ferocious beast that had been sleeping for countless years was about to awaken completely within it. The most terrifying thing was the area around its body.
One after another, the phantom images of ancient beasts that had long since vanished into the river of time appeared and merged into it, and the primordial energy between heaven and earth surged wildly. The entire space began to be unable to withstand the pressure of this divine weapon, Hua Lingxi slowly grasped the beast mace.
Her voice was icy. "The Primordial Dao Supreme Treasure— " "The Myriad Beasts Stillness Emperor Jian." She held the mace in her right hand and the spear in her left. The two divine weapons simultaneously emitted completely different Dao auras. She slowly raised her arms, preparing to completely fuse the two treasures, but at this moment...
Qin Yu, who had been quietly watching her, suddenly revealed a faint smile. "Not bad, you actually possess a Primordial Dao Supreme Treasure Divine Weapon." Qin Yu nodded slightly, then slowly sighed. "Alas." "What a pity." Hua Lingxi smiled coldly upon hearing this.
Her eyes were filled with contempt. "What a pity?" "Qin Yu." "It seems you have no idea what Primordial Dao Supreme Treasure means." She slowly raised the Myriad Beasts Stillness Emperor Jian. "Since you know this is Primordial Dao Supreme Treasure," she still dared to speak so arrogantly. "Today," she said, "I will make you die by its hand!"
Having said that, she simultaneously brought her hands together, preparing to completely fuse the Myriad Beasts Stillness Emperor Jian and the Nine Stillness Heavenly Radiance Spear. But just as the two divine weapons were about to make contact, a cracking sound suddenly rang out. Hua Lingxi abruptly stopped, stunned for a moment. Crack—crack—
Cracks began to spread rapidly across the surface of the Myriad Beasts Stillness Emperor Jian without warning. It wasn't from an attack or an impact. It was more like... the very foundation that made it up was crumbling away bit by bit. Hua Lingxi's eyes widened suddenly. "What?" She didn't even have time to react.
Boom! The entire Myriad Beasts Stillness Emperor Jian suddenly transformed into countless dark golden stardust. There was no explosion, no impact, and no energy leakage. It simply began to decompose silently. The bone patterns disappeared, the primordial Dao patterns disappeared, the beast souls disappeared, and the mace itself transformed into the most primitive starlight dust, drifting away bit by bit between heaven and earth.
In just a few breaths, the entire Primordial Dao Supreme Treasure vanished completely, as if it had never existed. At the same time, deep within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, the long-dormant Star Wancai Key — the Edict of Returning to Zero —had never truly manifested itself. It simply floated quietly within the foundation of its existence, with a faint starlight, imperceptible to anyone, silently flowing through the key.
Without any supernatural power stirring, Wudao strange phenomena of Daoist rhythm, and without the slightest leakage of power, just as the thought of resisting the key holder arose in the heart of the Myriad Beasts Stillness Emperor Jian, that wisp of supreme Edict of Returning to Zero had already completed its Ultimate judgment in an instant.
External objects are reduced to zero, the Origin Tracing, the structure is deconstructed, the rules are reforged, and the time sequence is overwritten. Layer upon layer of supreme logic is instantly settled. From the very beginning of its creation and forging, the Myriad Beasts Stillness Emperor Jian silently disintegrates and dissolves, fading into the most primitive cosmic stardust. The entire process, from beginning to end, is Ultimate fast, and it has already come to an end before everyone's souls can perceive it.
The world was deathly silent. Hua Lingxi remained in the motion of merging her hands with the divine weapon, but her palms were now empty. She froze completely, her eyes fixed on her empty hands, her breathing becoming rapid. "No..." "Impossible..." "This is impossible..."
She abruptly raised her head, staring intently at Qin Yu, her body beginning to tremble uncontrollably. It wasn't anger, but a fear emanating from the depths of her Fate Soul. "You..." "You..." "What have you done?!" How could this be... How could this happen?! That was... Primordial Dao Supreme Treasure!!!
Hua Lingxi stood blankly in mid-air, her hands still in the posture of fusing with the divine weapon. However, the Primordial Dao Supreme Treasure in her palm, which had accompanied her for countless years and was regarded as her greatest reliance, had long since turned into stardust and disappeared without a trace.
The world was deathly silent. She looked down at her empty hands, her gaze blank. After trembling slightly for a moment, she slowly raised her head and looked at Qin Yu in the distance. His once proud and aloof face was now completely distorted.
His eyes were devoid of reason, filled only with madness. Qin Yu in the sky, his black robes fluttering, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword hanging at his side, his gaze remaining calm. He slowly spoke. "You..." "have no right to know." "Now..." "you can rest in peace." His words were simple, yet they were like a final judgment.
Hua Lingxi's body jolted violently, and the next moment she suddenly threw her head back and burst into wild laughter. "Hahahaha--" The laughter grew increasingly maniacal and increasingly shrill. "Qin Yu!" "You destroyed my divine weapon!" "You destroyed my Dao heart foundation built over millions of years!" "Since that's the case..." Her eyes instantly turned blood red. "Today!" "I will drag you down with me!"
Boom! She suddenly slammed her palm into her chest. "Pfft!" A mouthful of her vital essence blood spurted out, but instead of falling, it burst into flames around her. At the same time, the Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme within her body also began to burn wildly.
Strands tore apart her Fate Soul essence, peeling away in mid-air and burning into fierce gray-white flames. Her aura surged wildly, her power soaring to the heavens, but the foundation of her soul was rapidly decaying and on the verge of Annihilation.
This is not a transformation or advancement, but a sacrifice of the entire self, burning away all reserves, and fighting for a final, desperate explosion! The sky above trembled violently, with a continuous roar, and the earth beneath our feet continued to crack and collapse, with thousands of cracks spreading rapidly. The world was in a state of apocalypse, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within tens of thousands of miles was completely drained.
A destructive wave spread outwards. Ye Ting suddenly opened his eyes, his expression changing drastically. "Master!" "She's burning her Fate Soul Dao!" "She's trying to destroy her own Fate Soul and perish together with Master!"
High in the sky, Qin Yu gazed at the increasingly ferocious Hua Lingxi, his expression unchanged. Instead, he gently shook his head. "Want to perish together?" He slowly raised the Silent Origin Stainless Sword. A wisp of Ultimate gray-white light flowed slowly across the blade. "Truly..." "Ignorant." Qin Yu remained standing there quietly.
His expression remained unchanged. He simply raised his left hand slowly, and streaks of grayish-white Dao patterns spread from his palm. At the same time, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword was gently raised, and Qin Yu calmly spoke. "Silent Origin Stainless Sword..." Fifth Form. "Undefined Destruction Sword." Buzz—
At this moment, the sword did not unleash a dazzling sword light, nor did it produce a world-destroying roar. Instead, the entire world suddenly fell silent. Hua Lingxi's pupils suddenly contracted. She suddenly realized that her burning Dao... began to become blurred, and the Fate Soul essence that was running wildly within her body seemed to have lost its meaning.
The destructive power that should have been constantly increasing began to dissipate little by little. "No..." "How is this possible..." She looked down at her hands. The once blazing Eternal Great Dao of Eternal Silence was now as if it had been gently wiped away from its source by an invisible hand, not suppressed, not shattered, but... lost its "definition".
Boom— Qin Yu finally swung his sword. This sword strike had no vast river of sword light, no ten-thousand-foot sword beam, only an extremely thin gray-white sword mark that slowly swept across the heavens and earth. Where the sword mark passed, space did not crack, time did not stop, and everything seemed as if nothing had happened. However...
All the burning Dao, Fate Soul, divine abilities, and origin within Hua Lingxi's body simultaneously ceased functioning in that instant, leaving her completely frozen in mid-air. Her eyes were fixed on Qin Yu. "No... no..." "My Dao..." "My Fate Soul..." "Why..." "I can't sense it anymore..."
She exhausted the last of her spiritual strength, frantically urging her Fate Soul essence to detonate the Great Dao of the Eternal Silence Realm, attempting to Silent Void, offering no response whatsoever. All the power, foundation, and cultivation that once belonged to her seemed to have been completely unrelated to her from beginning to end, never truly hers.
Qin Yu slowly sheathed his sword, his gaze clear and calm, without the slightest ripple. "The Undefined Destruction Sword." "This sword will not kill, nor take your life." "It will destroy your foundation of the Great Dao, erase the definition of your Fate Soul, and extinguish your existence in this world." "When everything about your existence is reduced to zero, with no foundation to follow, when you have nothing left, how can you expect me to perish with you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Lingxi's body began to slowly turn into grayish-white dust. First, the wisp of Daoist charm left by the Nine Stillness Heavenly Radiance Spear slowly dissipated, followed by her burning Great Dao, then her Fate Soul origin, and finally, even her entire body began to turn into grayish-white dust all over the sky.
She reached out in terror, as if trying to grab something, but grasped nothing. She stared at Qin Yu with despair in her eyes. Her voice grew softer and softer. "Qin Yu..." "You... what exactly..." "What is it..." Before she could finish the last word, she had completely turned into countless gray-white specks of light, which slowly drifted away.
No blood was spilled, no bones remained, no embers of Fate Soul remained; not a trace of her existence could be found in the world. The extremely resolute sacrifice and confrontation just now seemed as if it had never happened. The world was empty, with only a Qingfeng blowing by, completely erasing all traces of her existence and its causes and effects.
In the distance, Ye Ting gazed silently at this scene. After a long while, he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes filled with Ultimate shock and deep awe. "Master's sword strike... was truly terrifying," he murmured softly, his heart pounding with emotion. "Master is even stronger now..."
