Heaven and earth fell silent for a moment.
The entire boundary of the Destruction Labyrinth was completely enveloped by a supreme law that transcended all reason. Time stood still, space was frozen, and the floating dust, shattered spatial fragments, and raging void currents were all frozen in place.
Even the ancient world ruins that were constantly collapsing and perishing in the distant Destruction Labyrinth fell into absolute stillness at this moment, and a wisp of barely perceptible light dust quietly appeared between Qin Yu's two fingers.
It is devoid of light and energy, formless and intangible; no divine sense can detect its trajectory. Yet, the moment this object appears in the world, all the myriad paths of heaven and earth fall silent, and the rules of the heavens bow down in its presence.
Ten chaotic lotus platforms bloomed one after another from the fingertips, each lotus heart reflecting a complete ancient scene. In the next instant, all the scenes faded away.
It is not collapse and destruction, not annihilation and fragmentation, but rather—never existed, never was born, never conceived by heaven and earth.
Boom! Above the sky, an invisible and wordless ancient scroll of the Heavenly Dao slowly unfurled.
All traces of that despicable cultivator are being stripped away and erased from the lineage of the Heavenly Dao. His past, present, future, cause and effect, destiny, soul, Dao name, and even all the concepts that once existed in this world are gradually and completely disappearing.
The Ultimate fear finally overwhelmed this veteran Eternal Silence High Stage. His body suddenly stiffened, his pupils contracted violently, and an unprecedented sense of horror surged in his heart.
This is not death. Death leaves a trace, but this finger strikes at the very source of his existence. "Impossible..." "I have cultivated for countless epochs, reaching the Eternal Silence High Stage... How could this be!"
His voice grew weaker and weaker, his soul became increasingly blurred, his memories lost their weight, his future Dao Path became a complete blank, and he could no longer even fully utter his own name.
In a desperate moment, he suddenly bit his tongue, igniting his life force!
A jet-black ancient sword burst forth from the depths of his Fate Soul's origin, its blade covered with intricate and profound logical Dao patterns. This sword had accompanied him in countless battles and had long since merged and coexisted with his soul's origin; it was his only primordial divine weapon.
"Block them!!!"
He roared hysterically, and his natal divine weapon erupted with overwhelming brilliance. Endless logical rules and Source Power poured out, condensing into an extremely thick and absolute defensive barrier.
Boom!!! The supreme power of the Unnamed Initial Silence collided head-on with the natal divine weapon. There was no booming, no explosion, no earth-shattering phenomenon, only a deathly silence that chilled one's soul.
Crack... The first crack silently crept across the blade, crack, crack—in an instant, countless cracks covered the entire divine weapon. "No!!! My natal divine weapon!!"
The cultivator's eyes widened in despair, his heart filled with hopelessness. Boom!!! The primordial divine weapon that had accompanied him for countless years shattered on the spot, turning into countless specks of light that scattered into the void. It was precisely because the divine weapon had taken on most of the Annihilation power for him that his Fate Soul was able to survive by a hair's breadth.
As if struck by the heavens, he spat out mouthfuls of blood into the sky, his body flying backwards for tens of thousands of feet. His once mighty aura instantly withered to the Ultimate, leaving him without a trace of his former power.
He stared blankly at Qin Yu, who stood rooted to the spot, his heart turning to ice.
At this moment, he finally understood completely that the seemingly ordinary young cultivator before him was a terrifying existence that the three of them could not provoke even with their full knowledge.
On the other side, the alluring woman witnessed the entire scene, her face drained of all color. She finally realized that her previous assumptions were utterly absurd.
Qin Yu doesn't rely on hidden weapons or secret treasures; he himself is the most terrifying and supreme killing force.
Driven by her Ultimate instinct for survival, she lost all will to fight and immediately burned her Fate Soul essence, sacrificing her lifespan to forcibly tear open a void passage in an attempt to escape.
Just as her body was about to step into the crevice, a cold and indifferent voice slowly rang out from behind her, sealing off all her chances of survival.
"Trying to escape?" Qin Yu slowly lowered his fingers, his gaze indifferent as he looked down at the woman fleeing in panic. "Too late."
The lewd man crashed into the distant void like a shattered meteor, his body covered in spiderweb-like cracks, his Fate Soul essence violently trembling. But he was, after all, Eternal Silence Realm · High Stage cultivator who had stood for countless years. After enduring the Ultimate fear that originated from the depths of his soul, madness rekindled in his eyes.
"I cannot die..." "After countless eons of arduous cultivation, how can I perish at the hands of a mere junior at the Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage!" His voice was hoarse and broken, and the next instant, boom!
The essence of his Fate Soul was ignited with a roar, and wisps of pitch-black flames rose from his body. This was no ordinary spiritual fire; it was the fire of his Fate Soul, fueled by lifespan, karma, and foundation of his Dao.
As his very essence burned, his aura surged violently for a brief moment, and the surrounding space distorted drastically. He endured the excruciating pain that felt like his soul was being torn apart, and with all his might, he tore through the void to create an escape route.
"As long as you escape back to the Shangguan Lineage... As long as the news reaches the clan, you will surely die!!" His face was ferocious and terrifying, but just as his body was about to step into the void rift, a clear and melodious sword cry resounded throughout the eight wastelands.
Clang —Qin Yu slowly raised his hand, and the Silent Origin Stainless Sword appeared in his palm.
The sword showed no dazzling light, nor did it exude any sharpness. Yet, the moment this sword appeared, the entire Destruction Labyrinth fell into an eerie silence, as if the very flow of the universe itself had come to a standstill.
Qin Yu gazed at the fleeing, lewd man, his expression unwavering. "You think you can escape by burning your Fate Soul?" He gently raised his sword.
"The No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword." Buzz—In an instant, heaven and earth fell into chaos, and an endless sea of lotuses slowly spread out from the void. One chaotic lotus flower after another bloomed, and within each lotus petal, countless cycles of birth and death were reflected.
However, in the blink of an eye, thousands of lotus petals withered simultaneously. It was neither destruction nor collapse; it simply returned to an ancient silence that was difficult to describe in words.
The lewd man turned around abruptly, and at that moment, the fear originating from the deepest part of his Fate Soul completely engulfed him. He was horrified to realize that he couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance.
It wasn't that he dared not resist, but rather that his consciousness was simply unable to construct the thought of "resistance." His past cultivation accumulation could not be relied upon, his future path to survival was bleak and hopeless, and even the obsession in his heart to "want to live" was slowly melting away under the erosion of the sword intent.
Boom! The sword swept silently across the sky, without a sword light that traversed the heavens or a destructive storm that swept across the land. There was only an unpredictable trajectory of Annihilation. In the next instant, the lewd man's sea of consciousness shattered like a galaxy, and a massive amount of memory fragments turned into a white mist. His Fate Soul essence gradually became transparent.
"No... What kind of divine sword technique is this...?" His voice grew weaker and weaker as he could no longer comprehend what was happening before his eyes. Finally, his body froze in mid-air.
Then all traces vanished completely. Does Not Exist aftershocks of death, no lingering souls, no echoes of cause and effect. In this vast world, no evidence of his existence could be found.
The No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword cuts away the flesh and blood of living beings, but rather the very budding of "existence" itself. On the other side, the alluring woman was already terrified out of her wits. She had no will to fight left, and at this moment, only one thought remained in her mind—escape!
Fleeing this place, fleeing this terrifying young cultivator, his ten fingers rapidly formed hand seals, and spatial runes took shape one after another in the void. "Hurry up and form! As long as I rush into the spatial turbulence, I can survive!" But just as the void rift was about to solidify, a sword light suddenly flashed past.
Boom!!! The newly opened passage instantly shattered, and violent spatial turbulence swept out in the opposite direction. The woman's body jolted violently, freezing in mid-air. The next instant, a figure appeared silently before her. Qin Yu held the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, quietly looking down at her.
"What? You don't want the 100,000 Supreme Transformation Source Crystal you asked for earlier?" The woman's face was deathly pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Without hesitation, she knelt down in mid-air.
"Senior! Senior, spare my life!" She bowed deeply, her voice trembling. "We were blind and dared to offend you. We beg you to have mercy and spare my life!"
His posture was Ultimate humble, his head hanging low, not daring to lift it. But Qin Yu watched quietly and saw through his true intentions at a glance. Beneath this appearance of bowing his head and admitting his mistakes, there was never any remorse, but rather a vicious scheme waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Sure enough, before she finished speaking, a chilling light suddenly burst forth from her sleeve. A hidden weapon as thin as a hair shot through the air, aiming directly at Qin Yu's brow, the weapon wreathed in a cold, bone-chilling Logic Origin.
From beginning to end, she never intended to truly submit, waiting only for Qin Yu to relax his guard before striking ruthlessly. Qin Yu's eyes remained unmoved, and he lightly blocked with his longsword. Clang!
The poisonous hidden weapon struck the sword's edge and instantly shattered, turning into countless tiny dust particles. Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, a faint chill flickering in his eyes. "Unrepentant, they deserve to die."
The woman's body suddenly stiffened, knowing in her heart that her last chance had been shattered. Qin Yu's Silent Origin Stainless Sword slowly melted away, its blade merging into the void, its sword intent becoming one with his own.
Severing the Dao – I Am Nothingness. This sword strike is devoid of a longsword, Attachment to Seeing, or even the Does Not Exist "slashing." Qin Yu himself transforms into sword intent, which merges into nothingness. The boundaries between friend and foe vanish, the concepts of offense and defense cease to exist, and even the process of "annihilation" is swallowed up.
The woman's pupils dilated violently as she stared blankly at Qin Yu, her eyes filled with undisguised bewilderment and fear. Even in death, she could not comprehend how a cultivator at the Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage could possess such extraordinary supernatural abilities.
Previously, she was convinced that Qin Yu was merely prey to be plundered, believing that 100,000 Supreme Transformation Source Crystal would drive someone mad. Greed blinded her, and today she has ultimately brought about her own destruction. "No..."
Her lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. In an instant, her physical body, her Fate Soul, all cause and effect, and all traces of existence returned to nothingness. Reincarnation could not contain her, and Annihilation could not be defined. From this moment on, she never possessed the attribute of "existence".
Peace returned to the world. Qin Yu sheathed the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, glanced indifferently at the three places where the three had vanished, and without lingering, turned and stepped into the air, continuing his rapid journey towards the Chi Lineage's territory.
