Overwhelming All Rivals to Claim First Place

The first round of Falun sank into the Existence Zero Point, stabilizing the original root of the Dao; the second round traced back to the source by following the connections of the present world, seeking the entrance to nothingness; the third round forcibly dismantled the original bond Rift of Return to the Ruins and the Vast Annihilation God-Burying Banner.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth cycles revolve in succession without ceasing. In the past, the Nine-Wheel Dharma Wheel analyzed and deduced the formed Fate Soul, solidified cause and effect, established laws, and concrete origins. But today, Qin Yu is forcing them for the first time to read a piece of eternal nothingness that has never taken shape, has no trace of the Dao, and has no definition.

Absolute Pre-Stillness, without trace or reason, the Nine-Wheel Dharma Wheel showed a significant stagnation for the first time, their evolution almost halted, and then, crack! A fine crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the Seventh Wheel of True Evolution Dharma Wheel's primordial light patterns!

Qin Yu's face turned Absolute Pre-Stillness contained no Dao traces or foundations that the Soul Diagram could read and accept. The deeper the Dharma Wheel pursued into the void, the more violent and terrifying the backlash became.

Forcibly incorporating the undefinable void into the evolutionary system is inherently going against the natural order. The eighth wheel of Dharma had only rotated halfway when the entire Silent Beginning · Ring Master Soul Diagram suddenly trembled violently. An unprecedentedly terrifying backlash flowed backward along the Nine-Wheel Dharma Wheel, directly reaching the core of Qin Yu's Fate Soul Nucleus.

BOOM!!! Qin Yu's chest trembled violently, poof!

A mouthful of scalding blood gushed out, splattering into the air, but before it hit the ground, it was instantly swallowed up and vanished without a trace by the power of nothingness at the edge of the Return to the Ruins. Qin Yu staggered half a step, his right knee sank slightly, his figure swaying precariously, his pale face devoid of color.

The excruciating pain emanating from the depths of his Fate Soul caused him to furrow his brows tightly. The Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel dimmed and lost their luster, and several naturally formed Fate Soul root marks were shattered by the backlash. This injury penetrated his physical body and went straight to his very foundation.

"Qin Yu! Fellow Daoist Qin!!!" Several disciples in the Chi Lineage's spectator stands suddenly stood up, their faces filled with anxiety. Chi Boqian, who was usually calm and composed, was completely moved for the first time, his eyes fixed on the slender figure in the center of the arena, his heart churning.

Millions of onlookers on the periphery were in an uproar. Qin Yu had previously won battle after battle, defeating all his powerful enemies without ever showing the slightest sign of defeat. But now, this mouthful of blood made everyone truly realize that the Life Silence Return to the Ruins had already damaged the very foundation of his Dao.

Qin Yu raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, staring at the remaining crimson on his fingertips. His breathing became increasingly deep and sharp. He had already made up his mind that he could no longer force an analysis. If he continued to drive the Nine-Wheel Dharma Wheel to peer into the Absolute Pre-Stillness, the foundation of his own Fate Soul would be torn apart and completely destroyed by the backlash.

Since he couldn't fathom this eternal void... then he might as well not try. Qin Yu slowly raised his head, all the deductions and thoughts in his eyes fading away, leaving only a clear and cold indifference.

With a clench of his right hand, five fingers made a sudden, resounding clang! The Silent Origin Stainless Sword appeared serenely from the void.

The moment the sword's edge materialized, there was no echo from the Silent Origin, no convergence of cause and effect, Wudao; Kong Che and clear, untouched by any trace of life in the world. Qin Yu gripped the sword hilt tightly, his wounded Fate Soul trembling once more, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his lips, yet his hand holding the sword remained as steady as a rock, without the slightest loosening.

The manic smile that had just bloomed on Hua Jingmeng's face suddenly froze. He finally saw clearly that Qin Yu had given up on seeking a path back to the true self from Absolute Pre-Stillness. This time, the other party did not seek enlightenment, but only sought to sever the Dao.

Qin Yu slowly tightened his five fingers, and the Void Source · Dream Stillness Existence Zero Point deep within his Fate Soul sank into the sword first. Immediately afterward, the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel of the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram reversed simultaneously, locking the only strand of connection to the present world that he had forcibly deduced and captured, so that it would never loosen.

He never needed to understand the entire eternal void; he only needed to grasp one core point—the moment when the Absolute Pre-Stillness of Life Silence Return to the Ruins was brought into the present world and transformed into a killing move by the return of life to nothingness, the origin of the concept of "nothingness entering the world and killing people with it" was born.

The sword tip slowly rose, and the first layer of light Annihilation, followed by the second and third layers.

In an instant, three thousand magnificent halos of light appeared above the arena, nested layer upon layer, stretching across the sky and covering the entire world within sight. No one knew where the halos of light originated, for the moment they appeared, they had already begun to disintegrate, carrying with them an Annihilation and bleak aura of the end times.

Qin Yu's face was ashen, yet his expression remained completely calm. His clear eyes showed no sign of joy or anger. He casually extended the Silent Origin Stainless Sword. "Fifth Form—" His voice was soft and clear, piercing through layers of defensive arrays and landing firmly in the ears of millions, resounding with unwavering force. "Undefined Destruction Sword."

Buzz!!! The three thousand light wheels collapsed simultaneously! In that instant, there was no soaring sword light, no earth-shattering roar.

Before the sword's edge, only a wisp of colorless, Formless, shapeless, and No Definition ethereal fluctuation remained. It traversed the barren and desolate land of the Silent Origin, without borrowing the power of the Silent Origin, without drawing upon the power of cause and effect, and without following the order of the Dao. The Ultimate truth of the Undefined Destruction Sword lies in the non- Absolute Pre-Stillness itself.

It severed the very origin of the concept of "Hua Jingmeng" leading to nothingness and killing through silence! That wisp of invisible primordial energy gently landed on the edge of the Rift of Return to the Ruins, without violent collision or stalemate.

But in the center of the Rift of Return to the Ruins, a crack as thin as a hair and barely visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared. Hua Jingmeng's pupils shrank to their Ultimate, filled with disbelief.

"This is...??? This is impossible!!!! No!!!... How could you..." The next instant—crack!!! The Rift of Return to the Ruins that spanned the arena broke completely at its center!

Above the sky, the eternally silent Wanyan suddenly stood up, his ancient giant eyes surging with Ultimate shock.

This sword strike never used brute force to fill the void or contend with the previous silence. Instead, it traced back to the only tangible connection between Life Silence Return to the Ruins, severing the fundamental source of the formation of supernatural powers and the entry of the void into the world with a single strike.

Hua Jingmeng, intending to use Absolute Pre-Stillness to slaughter living beings, would inevitably endow nothingness with a definition of "worldly utility"; Qin Yu's sword strike directly and completely Annihilation and erased this definition, along with its very foundation!

Cracks spread wildly, covering the entire Rift of Return to the Ruins, with countless fine lines crisscrossing and unable to heal. The Vast Annihilation God-Burying Banner trembled violently, teetering on the verge of collapse, its ancient gray-blue afterimages struggling and wailing incessantly. Hua Jingmeng's hands were numb with pain, barely able to hold onto the broken banner pole, and the deep-seated resentment in her eyes was finally completely overwhelmed by Ultimate fear.

"Suppress them!!! Suppress them!!!!" he roared hoarsely, using his last bit of power to forcefully stabilize his divine abilities. However, the tide had turned, and there was no turning back.

The Undefined Primal Energy swept backward along the broken traces of the Return to the Ruins, reaching the core of the Vast Annihilation God-Burying Banner. The jet-black circular spot at the heart of the banner, which connected to the bottom of the Eternal Silent Abyss, shattered first, followed by the entire gray-blue banner breaking into pieces. The lingering shadows of the Stillness Dao, preserved for countless ages, all dissolved into nothingness.

Crash!!! The upper half of the Burial God Banner shattered completely! Crash!!! The sturdy banner pole snapped in two! The last azure crystal, which carried the weight of countless ages, shattered into countless fragments in Hua Jingmeng's stunned and desperate gaze.

This supreme divine weapon, which had been passed down through the ages, bore the remnants of an ancient Stillness Dynasty, and whose might shook the heavens, was ultimately annihilated and ceased to exist under the Undefined Destruction Sword!

Yet the chilling sword aura remained undiminished. The last trace of color drained from Hua Jingmeng's face, and his entire body was icy cold. "--I refuse to accept this!!!" On the verge of life and death, he completely abandoned all pride and dignity, his right hand suddenly reaching into his robes, fiercely unleashing an ancient lotus-shaped treasure the size of his palm!

As the ancient lotus rose into the air, unfurling in the wind, Hua Nongrui, who was usually indifferent and unmoved, changed her expression drastically for the first time in the Hua Lineage's spectator area. This lotus was a Lineage treasure that she had personally given to Hua Jingmeng to protect his life; it was his last line of defense against death.

The ancient lotus blooms layer upon layer. The first petal unfolds, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot lotus shadow that locks down all directions; the second petal spreads out, with endless Source Dao patterns traversing the arena; the third and fourth petals bloom in succession, layer upon layer of protective Dao rhyme, firmly enveloping Hua Jingmeng deep within the lotus heart, as solid as a rock.

The Undefined Destruction Sword arrived with a deafening roar. The first lotus petal instantly melted away, followed by the second, third, fourth, fifth... layer after layer shattering in succession! Collapse!!! Collapse!!! Collapse!!!

Lotus petals exploded one after another, their brilliant essence dissipating into the void.

Hua Jingmeng curled up in the lotus heart, his eyes wide open, filled with fear. He watched helplessly as this life-protecting treasure, bestowed upon him by the clan leader, was pierced through layer by layer by the invisible sword intent, crumbling step by step. With each layer of lotus petal shattered by the sword intent, the despair in his heart deepened.

The last lotus petal barely blocked her brow, freezing for only a moment before cracking! The lotus petal shattered, and the entire ancient life-protecting lotus turned to ashes! Although the remaining sword intent was exhausted by the treasure, the primordial backlash that pierced through the void still slammed fiercely into Hua Jingmeng 'Fate Soul.

Bang!!! Hua Jingmeng's body flew out suddenly like a kite with a broken string!

Blood sprayed across the sky in a chilling display. His already crumbling Dao foundation, which had fallen from the Eternal Silence Realm to the True Annihilation Realm, was severely damaged again. Cracks spread deep within his Fate Soul, and his consciousness trembled violently. He only had a moment of clarity before plunging into complete darkness.

"Hua Jingmeng!!!!" Nangong Xingyun's figure flashed, and he arrived at the edge of the arena in an instant. He firmly supported Hua Jingmeng's back with one palm, forcibly rescuing her from the remaining sword intent.

The moment he landed, his expression turned extremely solemn. Without hesitation, he flipped his palm and took out a powerful primordial divine pill. He squeezed Hua Jingmeng's teeth and placed it into her mouth. He then pressed his palm against the location of her Fate Soul, forcibly dissolving the medicinal power and nourishing her primordial essence. The vast medicinal power slowly spread along the shattered Fate Soul, barely suppressing the continuously worsening fatal injury and preserving her life.

In the center of the arena, only Qin Yu remained, a solitary figure. He too was severely injured, his face pale and bloodless, the bloodstains on his lips still wet. The light of the Silent Beginning · Ring Master Soul Diagram was dimmed and mostly faded, and the cracks in the origin of his Fate Soul remained. Yet, he stood tall and firm, never retreating even a step.

The entire hall fell silent; not a sound could be heard for several breaths.

Nangong Xingyun slowly raised his head, his gaze passing over the ruins before settling on the proud, solitary figure. A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. Finally, under the watchful eyes of millions, he stepped into the sky. With a flick of his sleeve, the powerful Daoist voice of the Void Emanation Realm resounded, echoing throughout the entire Myriad Worlds Graveyard.

"The final battle— Hua Jingmeng of the Hua Lineage is powerless to fight any longer!" He paused slightly, his voice booming as he announced the final outcome. "The victor— Qin Yu, an outsider from the Chi Lineage!"

Boom!!! The deathly silence instantly shattered, and the entire stadium erupted in a deafening roar!

Millions of spectators rose to their feet, cheers, applause, and roars sweeping in from all directions, layer upon layer, reaching the sky. The Chi Lineage's viewing area was completely abuzz. The disciples' faces were flushed, their hearts pounding with excitement. The elders looked at each other, their excitement and ecstasy no longer concealed.

Chi Boqian sat at the head of the table, his tense face finally relaxing. He gazed at the young figure in the center of the arena, slowly nodding his head with solemnity and approval. Nangong Xingyun raised his hand to control the atmosphere, and the uproar gradually subsided. He raised his voice again, and his Daoist voice resounded throughout the arena, finalizing the rankings for this grand event.

"The final rankings for this martial arts tournament are set!" "First place – Qin Yu, an outsider from the Chi Lineage!" "Second place – Hua Jingmeng from the Hua Lineage!" "Third place – Ju Gongchen the Ju Lineage!"

After a brief silence, an even more frenzied cheer erupted once more, shaking the entire Myriad Worlds Graveyard. "Qin Yu has reached number one!" "He defied the odds and climbed to the top! Even Hua Jingmeng, who had fallen into Eternal Silence and sacrificed her divine weapon, was defeated by him!"

"The Vast Annihilation God-Burying Banner and the Life-Protecting Ancient Lotus are both shattered. This battle was won honorably!" "That final sword strike was astonishing! It didn't cut through nothingness, but only severed the root, completely severing the fundamental Dao of Life Silence Return to the Ruins!" "The Chi Lineage didn't just find outside help; they clearly gained a peerless genius who can suppress all the current generation's prodigies!"

A deafening roar swept across the entire circular spectator stands, converging into a vast energy that soared into the heavens. Amidst the fervor of the entire nation and the jubilation of the crowd, Qin Yu stood quietly in the center of the arena. The Radiant Silent Origin Stainless Sword in his hand slowly dimmed its brilliance. Blood still stained the corner of his lips, and his Fate Soul injury remained. Yet, the title of the top spot in this martial arts tournament that had shaken the Lineage and the Myriad Worlds Graveyard had been firmly secured: Qin Yu.
