Nameless Overwhelmingly Crushes His Opponent

No Dao Dharma Image appeared behind Boundless Abyss Huang, nor did a vast primordial tide surge forth. Instead, an extremely fine crack slowly opened up behind him. There was neither light nor darkness within the crack, and the first thing that emerged from it could not even be accurately detected by the naked eye.

It was a thread composed of "nothingness," followed by a second, a third, a thousand, ten thousand. In just a few breaths, countless invisible traces, as fine as hairs, had fallen behind the entire Boundless Abyss Huang. They did not rush towards the Nameless, but instead sank into everything that could be defined around the Dao Pivot Platform.

The first thread swept across the surface, and the innate pattern immediately faded away. It was neither broken nor damaged; the pattern simply lost its meaning as a "pattern." The originally flowing primordial luster suddenly broke when it passed through that area, because that region could no longer confirm what it was carrying.

The second wisp of air swept across the sky; the wind did not stop, but the "wind" was removed.

The airflow that was originally flowing forward lost its boundaries that could describe it; its speed, direction, temperature, weight, and other characteristics all faded away, leaving only a blank space that no perception could add any properties to.

The third, the fourth, the hundred thousandth... more and more "nothingness" began to unfold. Boundless Abyss Huang did not lock onto anyone; he had completely abandoned the distinction between friend and foe, allowing Return to Source Annihilation to automatically withdraw all definitions it could reach.

Within the Chi Lineage camp, Qin Yu's eyes suddenly narrowed. This change even caused him to temporarily halt his Fate Soul- cultivation, because this move was completely different from the previous one, and the Narrative Denial at least required the question, "Why are you here?"

Now, Boundless Abyss Huang even want "you" anymore; he has no goal, no enemy, only withdrawal itself remains.

Many cultivators on the periphery paled in shock, and several with weaker cultivation even instinctively took several steps back. In front of the Lineage, an elder stared at the invisible threads, his lips moving several times before he lowered his voice and said, "You can't touch them with your Fate Soul... That thing will reverse your perception and negate what you know."

Another person's face turned pale: "Boundless Abyss Huang, are you even abandoning your own target?" "That's right." "Then how will Nameless avoid it?" No one answered, because [Return to Source Annihilation] had been fully unleashed, and countless threads of nothingness crossed the center of the Dao Pivot Platform.

Everything that could be described began to recede layer by layer. Dao patterns lost their names, primordial fluctuations lost their properties, space lost its direction, and power lost its strength. In the end, all the withdrawal began to approach the area where the Nameless one was located.

Boundless Abyss Huang's expression showed no sign of relief; on the contrary, his gaze grew increasingly somber.

Because only he himself knows that in order for this technique to truly touch the Nameless, he has already abandoned all the original clear directions of Return to Source Annihilation. Now this technique no longer "attacks the Nameless," it simply allows everything that enters into it and is defined to retreat to the origin of the concept on its own.

Abilities, principles, memories, identities, names, forms—everything that has ever been defined will first reveal its initial composition, then recede from composition into thoughts, from thoughts into emptiness, and from emptiness into nothingness.

As long as Nameless possesses anything that can be called "something," Return to Source Annihilation can seize it, but Boundless Abyss Huang knows in his heart that this technique alone is not enough.

His gaze swept across the endless sky, landing on the nameless Nameless that remained motionless. The pride he felt as the Source Dao Ultimate Beast Huang kept him standing tall, while another voice delivered a nearly cold judgment.

Unable to win, in the first round, he thought he had only lost because "Void" was still famous. Only after his first move was broken did he realize that the gap was deeper than he had expected.

Now, he has pushed everything he can to the limit, but facing the Nameless —it is still like an ant trying to shake a tree.

A complex emotion flickered in Boundless Abyss Huang's eyes, and his teeth clenched. Even so, he had to give it a shot. Otherwise, he would never know exactly where he fell short. "Come!" Boundless Abyss Huang suddenly looked up, his robes billowing wildly amidst countless strands of silk. "Let me see just how much worse I am this time!"

The dense, invisible force pressed down completely, and Nameless finally moved. For the first time since the start of this battle, he took a step forward. Thud. His foot landed. There was no earth-shattering sound.

But the moment that foot landed, Boundless Abyss Huang's expression froze. Nameless did not retreat, dodge, or leave the area covered by the Return to Source Annihilation.

Instead, he took the initiative to walk in. With his second step, the threads of nothingness, which were revoking all definitions, were already three feet in front of him. Nameless looked up. His right hand slowly extended from behind him, fingers hanging naturally. He finally unleashed the first truly significant divine power of this battle. "Stillness Before Naming."

With just four words, the moment the voice fell, no new power phenomena appeared on the entire Dao Pivot Platform, but Boundless Abyss Huang's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints. Because he discovered that— the Return to Source Annihilation had lost the process of "retrogression".

For his supernatural power to revoke a definition, he must make the defined thing go from "already established" back to "not yet defined," and then retreat from the undefined into complete nothingness. But after the Stillness Before Naming, the place where the Nameless was did not provide this process at all.

There was no "already established," nor "being revoked," nor any "before being named" waiting to return. Nameless took a step forward with its own Source Dao and stood directly before the endpoint that the Return to Source Annihilation wanted to send all things to.

Boundless Abyss Huang abolishes the name, Nameless precedes the name, Boundless Abyss Huang returns to the origin of definition, Nameless does not take the origin, Boundless Abyss Huang wants everything to be "never created". Nameless's Source Dao does not even acknowledge that "creation" and "uncreated" must constitute two opposing ends.

Countless threads finally touched Nameless. Without entanglement, without peeling, without transparency, after passing through the area around Nameless that was devoid of any luster, one after another they lost the meaning of "revocation" that they originally bore.

Boundless Abyss Huang's face instantly turned pale, for he witnessed the most horrifying scene imaginable. His own Return to Source Annihilation was being devoured by its own logic. It could undo everything that was defined. Then—was "undoing" itself defined?

Yes, Return to Source Annihilation can no longer find anything in the Nameless to continue its regression, the only "defined thing" it can still reach is itself.

The first thread of nothingness began to disappear, followed by the second, the third. There was no explosion, no clash, but the countless threads of nothingness began to fade away in large swaths from the place closest to Nameless. They were not shattered by Nameless.

The Stillness Before Naming merely deprived them of a point of reference for pointing outwards. Thus, the power of returning to the Return to Source Annihilation —the power to "revoke everything that has been defined"—returned along itself and began to revoke itself.

Boundless Abyss Huang clenched his fists abruptly. "This..." His breathing became disordered for the first time. The countless threads of nothingness rapidly receded, and the edges of the cracks began to lose their structure. The definition of "Return to the Source" faded. The definition of "Annihilation" faded, and the last foundation upon which his supernatural powers were built crumbled.

Crack! A very thin crack appeared in the center of the Formless rift behind Boundless Abyss Huang. The next moment—Collapse! The entire Return to Source Annihilation completely shattered.

Countless faint, unrecognizable wisps of light vanished above the Dao Pivot Platform. The celestial patterns, whose definitions had been partially removed, reappeared, space regained its direction, and the stagnant light in the distance began to flow again.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Nameless only took two steps and unleashed one move, without even truly attacking Boundless Abyss Huang. The entire arena remained silent for a long time, with Boundless Abyss Huang standing still. He did not gather his source energy again, nor did he prepare to make a third move; he simply gazed at Nameless, who was a few feet away.

The unwillingness from before still lingered, but the stubbornness to continue forcibly winning was gone from the depths of his eyes. He personally corrected the flaws exposed in the first round, abandoning the name of nothingness; after the failure of the first move, he immediately abandoned the distinction between friend and foe, pushing the Return to Source Annihilation to the deepest point he could currently reach.

The result remained the same. Nameless didn't even push him to exhaustion or injure him. He simply used his own Source Dao to stand before the position that all his logic wanted to reach. Continuing this battle would be meaningless.

Boundless Abyss Huang lowered his head, glanced at his hands, and remained silent for a long time. Then, he slowly exhaled a long breath, a breath that contained resentment, shock, and also relief after truly seeing the gap between them.

He raised his head, and this time, his gaze was different when he looked at Nameless. "I originally thought I lost to you in the first round simply because my nothingness still had a name." Nameless listened quietly. Boundless Abyss Huang's lips curled into a faint, bitter smile, and he shook his head. "Now it seems..." "I only saw the first layer of where I went wrong."

The area surrounding the four Ultimate beasts was completely silent. Mystic Deconstruction's gaze was deep, and Wanyan remained silent. Boundless Abyss Huang looked at Nameless moments before finally releasing his tightly clenched right hand. "This battle..." "I concede." The moment the voice rang out...

Nalan Yanqing's eyes flickered slightly, and the next moment, she raised her hand and announced, "Second round, second match--" "Nameless, wins!" Only at this moment did the long-suppressed crowd in the outer stands suddenly erupt.

Millions of cultivators stared at the figure on the stage who had never truly revealed any earth-shattering power from beginning to end, their shock surpassing that of any previous battle.

Because everyone finally realized with their own eyes that the three all-in bets in the first round had never overestimated Nameless; it was the real battle that allowed them to see the tip of the iceberg behind that ranking for the first time.

Nameless simply turned around, his expression remaining calm. He showed no joy at Boundless Abyss Huang's surrender, nor did he glance at his own victory. He walked out along the Dao Pivot Platform, leaving no trace of the battle that had shaken the minds of millions of cultivators.
