Hua Yin stepped into the center of the formation, and the Name-Fixing Pearl that floated in the center of the world suddenly burst forth with a golden light. One after another, pale golden "name frames" emerged from all directions. Mountains, ancient trees, broken stones, Qingfeng, flowing water, and even churning demonic energy were all named by that invisible power of definition.
At that very moment, the arrogance on Hua Yin's face finally froze. He suddenly realized that the demonic energy within his body was beginning to stagnate. Moreover, as he prepared to take a step back, he was horrified to find that the space beneath his feet was as heavy as an ancient divine Divine Mountain. He abruptly turned around, preparing to tear through the void to retreat, BOOM—
The demonic claws fiercely grabbed at the space behind him. However, the space only rippled, without the slightest crack. Hua Yin's expression changed drastically. "Impossible!" He unleashed several palm strikes in succession, and rolling demonic energy blasted towards all directions. The void remained as stable as a rock. Only at this moment did he truly realize the abnormality.
It is unknown when, but the entire ruins have long been firmly integrated with the primordial veins of heaven and earth buried deep underground. Countless primordial veins, invisible to the naked eye, rush and converge from the eight directions and four poles, penetrating every corner of the ruins, forming a seamless whole.
This place has long transcended the scope of ordinary formations; it is a grand battleground built upon the foundation of the ancient world and the framework of countless primordial veins. Now, all escape routes are blocked. If one wishes to escape, the only way is to sever the primordial veins that intertwine across the entire land. There is no other way out.
Hua Yin's pupils contracted sharply, finally losing his composure. He abruptly looked up, staring intently at Qin Yu. A roar shook the heavens and earth. "Damn it!" "You brat!" "You actually set up another magic array beforehand!" "Deliberately lured me here!"
... Qin Yu slowly stood outside the array's core, all smiles vanishing from his face. His expression was calm as still water, his brows and eyes serene, like an ancient, unyielding divine Divine Mountain. Low Daoist sounds resonated around him, and countless array patterns flowed gently around him. He slowly raised his right hand. His voice was deep and calm. "You only realize this now, but it's too late." Boom—
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ring Master Soul Diagram unfolded instantly, and the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel rose layer by layer. At the same time, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword had already fallen into his palm. Qin Yu did not hesitate at all, and the sword's edge pierced through the sky. "Silent Origin Stainless Sword-- " "No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword!" A gray-white sword light pierced through tens of thousands of feet of heaven and earth. Wherever the sword intent passed, all sounds in heaven and earth disappeared.
Even the demonic energy began to Annihilation. This sword strike, taking advantage of the entire One Origin Name-Fixing Tribulation Formation, directly locked onto the core of Hua Yin's Fate Soul, determined to completely annihilate it with a single strike. At the same time, the entire One Origin Name-Fixing Tribulation Formation erupted with a thunderous roar—billions of runes operated wildly, and all the array patterns in the entire ruins lit up simultaneously.
One after another, the ruined palaces spewed forth endless golden light, ancient wheels spun rapidly, and the Name-Fixing Pearl at the center of the array burst forth with dazzling divine light. Countless attacks descended from heaven and earth simultaneously. Beams of naming divine light descended from the sky, golden chains stretched across the void, ancient source patterns transformed into sharp divine blades, and billions of runes transformed into endless killing light, sweeping in from all directions like a raging sea.
The entire world, from top to bottom, in all directions, was transformed into a killing formation. Every attack was constantly converging on Hua Yin. Hua Yin stood at the center of the formation, enduring the suppression from the entire world. Coupled with Qin Yu's No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword, even though he had already transformed into a demon, he felt an unprecedented crisis of death at this moment.
"Ah--!!" Hua Yin erupted in rage, his eyes turning bloodshot. He bit his right index finger, blood spurting into the air, each drop igniting with dark demonic flames. He slammed the blood against his brow, roaring furiously, "You won't get away with this!!!!" Boom--
Hua Yin's hands moved swiftly, forming ancient magic seals. He began chanting an obscure and ancient incantation. His voice sounded like the whispers of ancient Gods and Devils, or the demonic sounds of the Great Dao before the beginning of creation. With each syllable, the heavens and earth trembled violently. The next moment, a deafening boom erupted—the entire sky suddenly exploded.
The once bright sky turned purplish-red in an instant, boundless demonic clouds churned wildly, thunder roared between heaven and earth, and an enormous spatial vortex slowly emerged. From the depths of the vortex, an ancient pressure that transcended heaven and earth slowly descended, an aura that seemed to have crossed countless years. Even the entire One Origin Name-Fixing Tribulation Formation began to tremble violently.
Qin Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened. In the center of the spatial vortex, a Primordial Dao Supreme Treasure, radiating overwhelming demonic power, slowly descended. Its entire body was forged from pure white divine bones. The staff's head was not an ordinary jewel, but an enormous Old Devil skull. The surface of the skull was covered with cracks eroded by time, but it was inlaid with several dark red Primordial Crystals, each of which had demonic flames slowly flowing within it.
Within its two empty eye sockets burned eerie blue soul flames, which flickered and danced as if countless souls were wailing within them. The demonic skull's mouth was slightly open, revealing sharp, interlocking fangs, from which wisps of purplish-black demonic energy continuously spewed forth.
The entire staff is made up of segments of pale white spine, each segment engraved with ancient dark red Old Devil runes that move around and wriggle slowly like living things.
Sharp bone spurs grew along both sides of the spine, with rings of black chains wrapped around them. At the ends of the chains hung several pale white skulls, their eye sockets burning with ghostly blue soul fire. They slowly rotated in the void, constantly emitting shrill screams. The staff's end hung between heaven and earth, and below, a dark green vortex of demonic abyss slowly rotated, with endless death energy rising from the depths of the vortex, as if connecting to another eternal demonic realm.
As soon as the entire Primordial Dao Supreme Treasure descended, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth began to tremble violently. For the first time, the radiance of the killing array of the entire ruins was forcibly suppressed by the overwhelming demonic power. Hua Yin looked at the slowly descending magic staff, and a nearly insane grin rekindled in his scarlet eyes.
Hua Yin's five fingers suddenly tightened, and the Primordial Dao Supreme Treasure, forged from the spine of an ancient ferocious beast, emitted a dull and ear-piercing sound of bones grinding against each other in his palm. Nine skull-shaped nodes lit up segment by segment along the staff, and the ghostly blue soul fire in his eye sockets was instantly dyed dark red by the surging demonic energy within his body.
Lava-like flames flowed slowly through the cracks in the bones, dripping onto the broken stone platform, instantly scorching out one charred pit after another. The soil and rocks at the edges of the pits quickly turned to ash, and countless Black Bone emerged from the ground, turning that land into a layer of twisted demonic soil in the blink of an eye.
A barrage of golden light descended from all directions.
Streams of divine light descended from the sky, and countless intricate runes converged into a vast golden torrent. The "firmness" on the rocks, the "flow" in the wind, and the "burning" beyond the demonic flames were all drawn by the One Origin Name-Fixing Tribulation Formation, condensing into countless killing blades capable of piercing through the Fate Soul and the foundation of the Dao.
Golden chains crisscrossed, and the layers of rings on the ancient wheel rotated simultaneously. Stone chips and moss that had accumulated over countless years were shaken into dust by the force of the array. The entire ruins emitted a grand, low hum after the ancient array was fully awakened.
Hua Yin stood amidst the myriad killing lights, his crimson vertical pupils showing no sign of retreat. His right arm, gripping the staff, suddenly rose, and in the next instant, the magic staff swept across the sky.
Boom--
Where the staff swept across, space was torn open, creating a pitch-black rift that stretched across the heavens and earth. Thick black mist gushed out from the depths of the rift, lingering in mid-air for a long time.
Within the black mist, ferocious beast claws reached out wildly, their shattered faces tumbling and struggling within the fog. A roar like that of ten thousand beasts swept across the entire ruins, the sound waves bending the void layer by layer, and even the ancient trees on the distant cliffs were shaken to pieces in an instant.
The enormous demonic skull at the tip of the wand, inlaid with a dark red crystal, bared its fangs.
A ring of purple-black demonic light exploded out with a deafening roar.
The first hundreds of beams of divine light that pressed in were forcibly distorted the moment they came into contact with the demonic radiance. The pale golden name frames trembled violently, and the ancient characters within them shattered one after another, with golden fragments pouring down like a torrential rain.
The torrent of runes that followed collided with the black arc of light emanating from the wand, and a deafening roar erupted from the heavens and earth. The impact spread wildly from the center of the ruins, lifting stone steps layer by layer, causing the dome of the ruined palace to collapse with a crash, and uprooting the vines on the surface of the huge ancient wheel. Green leaves mixed with gray and white stone chips swirled into the sky.
Hua Yin roared angrily and suddenly twisted his wrist.
The spine staff then emitted a series of rapid "crackling" sounds, and the nine skull nodes simultaneously turned their heads, their hollow eye sockets facing the killing light coming from all directions. Dark red soul fire spewed from their mouths, transforming into nine thick torrents of demonic flames that swept across all directions.
Each torrent carried the lingering resentment of the devoured powerful beings. Wherever it passed, large gaps were gnawed into the golden array patterns, and the solemn, empty chants within the array were forcibly torn apart by shrill screams.
Qin Yu's No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword pierced through the layers of demonic tides and reached Hua Yin directly.
A gray-white sword light swept across the heavens and earth. Wherever the sword intent passed, all the demonic howls fell into deathly silence. The stench of blood, scorched earth, and damp, pungent smell of beast dens in the space were all briefly cut away by that sword. Before the sword even arrived, a thin crack had already appeared on the scales on Hua Yin's chest, and demonic blood slowly seeped out from beneath the crack.
Hua Yin's scarlet eyes narrowed sharply.
He gripped the wand with both hands, holding the entire spine of the wand horizontally in front of him, and with a thunderous crash, the No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword struck the wand head-on.
In an instant, the entire world was split in two by the gray-white sword light and the purple-black demonic light. The sword intent surged forward wildly along the staff, and the nine skull nodes opened their mouths and shrieked at the same time. The soul fire in the eye sockets of the huge demon skull at the top of the staff was forced backward.
