Silent Radiance Returns to the Abyss · Final Light Erodes the Soul
A pale blue light descended from the distant sky, as if even the stars were unwilling to look directly at this realm.
Deep within the Southern Territory of the Spirit Firmament Great Realm lies a once unclaimed wasteland, which was named the "Silent Nether Swamp" ten thousand years ago.
At this moment, Qin Yu, Qian Ruishan, Mu Qingwan, Ling Jingxi, Lu Chenshuang, and Xia Beiyuan stood atop the high cliff, gazing at the sky ahead.
Before them, a layer of "light" seemed to have collapsed. The boundary between day and night was completely disrupted, and the logic of light and shadow no longer held true. All the primordial energy and all the soul energy were forcibly "de-noiseed" to deathly silence.
It was a realm that seemed both dreamlike and illusory, neither empty nor empty.
In the very center, an eternally unmoving [blue-gray waning moon] hangs silently in the sky. Its moonlight is like ashes or the remnants of a soul's light. Under its illumination, the earth becomes a fog mirror, and everything loses focus.
The swamp contained neither water nor mud, but a strange "soul tide mud mist," like the lingering shadows of a fragmented soul after its dissipation, flowing in stillness and stagnating in flow.
Before they could take a single step, they felt a tearing dizziness in their minds.
"This is... a phenomenon of time-consciousness stripping," Ling Jingxi said softly, her voice heavy with undisguised seriousness. "This swamp actively strips us of our sense of existence and our memory traces."
"Even time... refuses to approach this place." Xia Beiyuan's gaze was fixed, "Like a logical dead end in the entire world."
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, sensing the subtle battle intent resonance of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword. He knew that this was not just a strange environment, but that the [Extinguished Light Void Desert] had begun to interfere with their soul consciousness with fragments of rules even before it appeared.
He lightly flicked his right hand, and a faint light appeared on the Azure Ring in his palm, but he did not unfold it.
"Shanshan, perceive the stable layer of spatial laws."
"Okay." Qian Ruishan summoned the Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly, its seven-colored feathers unfurling, and subtle mirror patterns quietly probed into the Soul Realm rift ahead.
At the same time, Mu Qingwan stepped to the front and raised her hand to condense an ice-blue Soul Seal.
"The Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel reflects the 'True Manifestation Trajectory'."
A crystalline veil silently unfolded, bringing the ten-mile radius ahead back into a "recognizable state."
At that moment, they finally saw the true face of the [Silent Nether Swamp]:
--Fragments of countless souls floated in mid-air, like the shattered remains of fallen stars, slowly swirling in the air.
-- Countless "reflection creatures" that have sunk to the surface of the earth are like the bones of shadows. Their bodies are below the ground, but their souls move above the ground. Their forms are like mist beasts, broken dragons, mirror birds, broken foxes and other strange and deformed souls. They all ignore conventional cognition and seem to be shaped by some abandoned past.
--Not far ahead, there stands a stone tablet, its surface decayed, with only four characters remaining: "The Burial of Time".
"This is a land eroded by the [Extinguished Light Void Desert]," Ling Jingxi whispered.
"It... does not devour the physical body, but only 'the you who once existed'."
Mu Qingwan gripped the Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel tightly with both hands and softly chanted, "The light of the soul, the breath of time, the proof of existence—it can devour them all."
"But this is our battlefield." Lu Chenshuang smiled slightly, and the blazing soul energy gathered behind her to form the "Hell Sun Battle Arm," ready to break the formation at any time.
"Even the most powerful mythical beast cannot stop the six of us from working together."
Qin Yu nodded and gave a deep command, "Proceed forward, enter the Silent Nether Swamp— "
The next moment, the six people's souls rose, and their Soul Pact manifested:
•The ice butterfly on Qian Ruishan's shoulder blooms with seven colors;
•The Ice Moon Wheel behind Mu Qingwan slowly rotated;
• Ling Jingxi fluttered, and the illusory ice spirit swam in the mirror;
• The Lu Chenshuang and fire vapors rise, the Hell Sun Karmic Flames ascend into the sky;
Xia Beiyuan, clad in soul armor, treads upon streams of light, his battle intent swirling like a storm.
• Qin Yu —his right hand gripped the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword tightly, a faint soul light appearing behind him, and a dragon-shaped shadow seemed to awaken from a dream.
The Youlong Yunyi, slowly emerged from the void.
A young woman in a long, icy black veil emerged from the rift in the Black Abyss. She stood behind Qin Ning, like a master and her protector, her divine aura radiating a distant divine might.
Deep within the swamp, the being that had long since awakened but had never opened its eyes slowly opened its "Eye of Final Light."
In the depths of the Silent Nether Swamp, the eternal day loses its color, and the empty daylight is like night.
At this moment, as Qin Ning and the other six stepped into the deepest part of the swamp, a ghostly blue light, like a nightmare, quietly crept in the distance. A soul mist, seemingly possessing sentience, swirled between heaven and earth, as if it could devour sight, perception, and even existence itself.
Right there in this desolate void—
"Make your move."
Qin Yu's eyes were icy cold. The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword in his hand emerged from his consciousness and transformed into a black-gold blade forged from billions of soul patterns, which condensed in his palm with a clang!
The next instant, he stepped forward, unleashing the fourth move with a swift sword strike:
"Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Fourth Form: Sever Fate, Cut Off Return"
"Sever the cause and effect, cut off the lifeline, and cut off the enemy's path to rebirth."
The longsword swept across the sky, shattering the boundary of the illusory realm formed by the projection of the Extinguished Light Void Desert! The void trembled violently, and a stream of dark blue light was instantly torn apart. The divine beast's shadow, which seemed to be "something that did not exist," paused slightly in the air, as if it had been truly shaken to its very soul.
-
Qian Ruishan followed closely behind, her eyes icy cold, runes intertwined in her palms, and an icy blue soul array erupted beneath her feet.
She whispered:
Soul Skill - First Form - Cold Realm Initial Lock
"Ice forms a boundary, sealing its soul's trajectory."
Suddenly, hundreds of chain marks formed by the Silent Cold Soul Lock appeared in the void, intertwining into dozens of soul lock arrays, instantly pressing down on the core projection of the Extinguished Light Void Desert! The chill condensed into a physical form, freezing the trajectory of the divine beast's soul.
At the same time, the Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly transformed, their wingspan reaching a thousand feet, their icy feathers like rosy clouds.
"Ice Radiance Butterfly Breath"
She spread her wings and exhaled, unleashing a seven-colored ice mist that blanketed the sky and pierced the Soul Realm like the aurora borealis. In that instant, the Extinguished Light Void Desert soul light particles were abruptly frozen, and visible trajectories appeared in the void!
"So beautiful..." Mu Qingwan murmured, her eyes suddenly narrowing. The Silent Spirit Snow Fox appeared behind her, its claws treading on the ice mirror, its divine sense undulating like a song.
-
A glint flashed in the eyes of the Silent Spirit Snow Fox, a cold light flickering, and a surge of icy soul power that distorted the void burst forth from the tip of its tail!
[Soul Skill· Snow Illusion Heavenly Mirror]
"The mirror is as cold as my heart, the snow reflects my illusory soul."
A mirror-like ice wheel rotates, forming a nine-layered snow illusion domain around the Extinguished Light Void Desert, disrupting the direction of its soul light!
Immediately afterwards, Mu Qingwan let out a low shout, and the Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel in her hand transformed into an ice-white moon wheel and rose into the sky.
She released it in a low voice:
"Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel - First Form - Ice Moon Mirror Radiance"
"Mirror Moon Ice Flower, backlash against the soul."
The Mirror Wheel hung high, and a beam of icy moonlight shone down. The originally uncertain soul shadow of the Extinguished Light Void Desert was forcibly pulled into the mirror light, and the surrounding projections began to flicker out of control—as if the record of "one's own existence" was beginning to collapse!
-
Lu Chenshuang stepped forward, resembling a female warrior of the cold stars, and held a silver-white cold hammer in her hand.
"Frost Bind."
She let out a soft murmur and released her soul skill:
[Cold Hammer Shattering Breath]
"A hammer of immense power, shattering the soul in an instant."
The giant hammer swung down, and ice crystals, along with soul pressure, fell from the sky, striking a wisp of Extinguished Light Void Desert. The soul light exploded, and cracks appeared!
-
Xia Beiyuan transformed into a human figure and leaped forward, summoning hundreds of black and purple soul beads from her sleeve and activating the rune array:
[Soul Beast Skill - Nether Light Soul-Cursing Wheel]
"The Soul Wheel opens, perception vanishes."
The curse wheel, like Xingyun, stirred the aura of the Soul Realm as it spun, instantly shattering the deprivation of time and perception imposed by the Extinguished Light Void Desert. That "time blind spot" and "sense of being deprived" were forcibly dispelled!
-
Just as everyone was working together--
Deep within the abyss of the deep blue, the Youlong Yunyi quietly emerged.
She was dressed in a long black and gold striped gauze dress, her silver hair fluttering like snowflakes in the night, as she stepped out into the air, her expression cold and aloof.
She looked up at the Extinguished Light Void Desert being trapped amidst a barrage of combat techniques, and sighed softly:
Those who disturb my master... shall all Annihilation.
The next moment, black and gold soul flames bloomed from her palm:
[Dragon God Skill: Abyssal Soul Pupil]
"Locking the soul and extinguishing consciousness."
With a flick of her finger, a dragon's eye appeared, and a thousand layers of soul light focused into a single point, shooting out a dark blue dragon soul beam that pierced through the "Soul Seal Core" at the center of the Extinguished Light Void Desert!
At that moment, the logic of existence of the Extinguished Light Void Desert was, for the first time... completely shattered.
A ghostly blue light slowly emerged from those "Does Not Exist" pupils.
It's not about illuminating, it's about erasing.
That was the initial strike from "Extinguished Light Void Desert". There was no sound, no energy fluctuation, and not even a breath could be sensed. The moment it opened its eyes, the entire timeline in which the six people were located began to collapse.
"--Not good!" Qin Ning suddenly drew his sword.
The edges of his Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword peeled away inch by inch, creating "double images." The sword body seemed to be trapped in a thousand layers of mirrored spacetime, and even the trajectory of the strikes produced dozens of future lines of splitting.
"This is... a time-distorted realm!" Mu Qingwan reacted instantly, her soul consciousness rapidly contracting. She tried to stabilize her soul, but was horrified to discover—
The Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel within his body is being forcibly frozen by a "cold current from the future"!
"This is a reversal! It's not that we've frozen the enemy, it's that our future attacks have been frozen back to this moment!" she exclaimed in shock.
"All skills will be unable to pinpoint the true location of the Extinguished Light Void Desert."
Lu Chenshuang's expression was solemn, and the Order Creation Mark appeared in her eyes. She paused slightly. "It's not in one place—it exists simultaneously in 'every possible location'."
"But we... there's only one of us."
"The connection is broken." Xia Beiyuan said softly, raising her palm to form a hand seal. "I can no longer sense your battle rhythm."
She was a powerful Image Severing, whose five senses were already beyond those of ordinary people, yet at this moment she too had completely lost contact with them.
"Don't do anything rash!" Qian Ruishan whispered.
"Butterfly Soul - Extreme Cold Rainbow Realm!"
With a wave of her hand, the Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly spread their wings and took to the air. The seven-colored rainbow ring slowly rotated in the space, condensing into an absolute ice ring domain. What was frozen was not space, but rather—the "time outline" on each person!
"Stabilize your time plane!" she shouted. "Quickly—establish a reference point beneath your feet!"
"If you can't do it, your future will kill you!"
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp whistle suddenly came from beside Qin Yu.
"Call out--"
A Sword Qi flashed past.
That was... the [Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Fifth Form - Sever the Soul in Nine Silences] that he unleashed "one second from now"!
--He's not even ready to make a move yet!
This sword strike unexpectedly sent us back to the "past" ahead of schedule!
"Sever Fate, Cut Off Return - Reverse Locking Technique!!"
Without hesitation, Qin Yu swung his sword horizontally, using the fourth move to directly block the trajectory of the fifth move's reverse slash, deciding the future with a single strike!
"Ah--!"
Behind her, a soul wound suddenly appeared on Xia Beiyuan's chest. It was a "Thunder Bone Slash" she had unleashed on Extinguished Light Void Desert, but due to "misalignment," it hit her own afterimage instead!
"Beiyuan!" Lu Chenshuang roared.
"Calm down!" Yunyi finally spoke.
"Activate the second sea of consciousness for all members."
A soul mark appeared between her brows. "From now on, we can only perceive each other through soul consciousness. We must all switch to 'soul-controlled combat'."
"Otherwise, if the physical body and consciousness are swallowed up in time, no one can withstand it."
"Time is not a line, it's a boundary."
"But the Extinguished Light Void Desert... it doesn't transcend boundaries."
"It's an unsolvable 'twist'."
Yunyi spoke calmly, raised her hand and pressed it into the void, and a dark golden crack slowly appeared on the dragon scales behind her.
"Since that's the case... then I'll use 'Soul Binding Trajectory' to forcibly bind a path for you."
"Silent Abyss Dragon Art: Reflect the Spirit, Lock the Realm!"
Buzz!!
That was a "destiny delay lock," forcibly locking the space where the Extinguished Light Void Desert was located within a time difference of "0.002 seconds."
Qian Ruishan, Mu Qingwan, and Qin Ning attacked almost simultaneously!
--
Qin Yu:
[Seventh Form of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword: Sever the Spirit Source Abyss]
"Sever the soul's veins, annihilate the wheel of consciousness!"
A streak of soul-annihilating black light cleaved across the entire area, like a wave from the realm of death, piercing through the void.
Cut off all sources of power for the enemy (divine blood, talent, and techniques), instantly reducing them to mortals.
Qian Ruishan:
[Silent Frost Shatters the Realm]
The myriad Soul Ice and snow Realm Breaking and shattered, the sky was like a mirror that had been smashed, and the chill pierced straight into the soul core!
Mu Qingwan:
[Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel - Second Form - Frost Soul Phantoms]
An ice mirror appeared, and the illusory moon shattered!
The triple ultimate attack landed at the same "0.002-second time delay point"!
"Boom--!!"
The heavens vanished, the Soul Sea surged backward.
The "Extinguished Light Void Desert" projection, locked at this point, finally revealed its true form for the first time.
It was Soul Erosion beast, its formless form a mixture of dark blue and purple light, and it was androgynous. As it surged, it devoured all light and perception, like the halo of death flashing in the dark of day!
"--Hit the mark." Yunyi whispered coldly.
The projection of the Extinguished Light Void Desert collapsed again in less than two breaths. Although the attack did not truly harm its soul, it tore apart its "dimensional shadow body," forcing it to temporarily solidify in the real world.
But just as everyone was preparing to give chase, the world suddenly went dark—
No, it was a "loss".
In that instant, the entire Silent Nether Swamp was no longer a dim blue realm, but completely detached from the coordinates of time and space. The water beneath the feet of the six people shattered like a mirror, and their senses, vision, aura, and soul power, floating in fragments, all seemed to fall into a Boundless Realm abyss of emptiness.
"Time has completely stopped..." Lu Chenshuang whispered.
"We were banished to its [Absolute Sensory Severance Domain]."
"What is that?" Xia Beiyuan looked up, her vision blurring as she looked at her teammates. She knew they were right beside her, but she couldn't sense them through any means.
"A boundary technique of the Extinguished Light Void Desert," Qian Ruishan replied, her tone extremely cold. "It will split us all into different Knowing Layer, leaving each person with only—themselves and it."
"Each fighting their own battle."
"Each person faces their own fear."
"Unable to call out, unable to communicate, unable to sense anything, all support has been stripped away... This is the true 'Soul War'."
--
[Qin Yu - Perception Boundary Severance - Battle Against the Core Shadow Body of the Extinguished Light Void Desert]
Silence.
There Emptiness around.
There were no enemies, yet it felt as if a million eyes were watching his every thought.
"Come out," he whispered.
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword rang without wind.
Suddenly, the void trembled—
A dark blue claw descended from above his head, tearing through multiple dimensions!
Qin Yu did not retreat, but instead stepped forward:
"Eighth Form: Sever the Main Narrative!"
A sword slash cleaved across, Soul Rend realm!
The next moment, the Extinguished Light Void Desert transformed into a hundred shadows that attacked, each one a reflection of Qin Ning slashing towards the future.
"Use my future to kill me?"
"--Don't forget, I'm also creating the 'future'!"
"Azure Ring Realm Abyss Reverse Evolution!"
In that instant, Qin Ning reversed his gaze, interrupting his opponent's "causal simulation" in the opposite direction!
"I am your final destination."
[Qian Ruishan - Perception Boundary - Battle Against the Extinguished Light Void Desert - Shadow of Soul-Shattering Memories]
"You are not Shanshan."
Qian Ruishan stared at "herself" in front of her.
She saw another Qian Ruishan: her clothes were tattered and bloodstained, she held the cold, broken soul of the Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly in her arms, and at her feet lay Qin Yu, lying motionless.
That was fear, that was a "failed future".
I won't let that happen.
"Butterfly Breath - Mirror Snow Illusory Plumes!"
Thousands of butterflies soared into the sky, the ice mirror shield melted away layer by layer, and the shadow soul on the opposite side began to crumble!
Fourth Form: Silent Frost Shatters the Realm!
The domain collapsed with a deafening roar; Qian Ruishan shattered the illusion with a single sword strike, obliterating the Extinguished Light Void Desert afterimage!
[Mu Qingwan - Perception Boundary Severance - Battle Against the Extinguished Light Void Desert - Shadow of Dual Souls' Reflection]
Her opponent is another version of her, possessing the same aura as the "Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel" and the "Silent Spirit Snow Fox."
Two mirror-like moons bloom simultaneously, and two foxes confront each other.
"So this is the trap you set for us?"
"I will then use my own methods to shatter your delusions!"
Fourth Form: Ice Soul Mirror Realm!
Ice Spirit expands, instantly freezing the illusion!
"Fifth Form: Moon Extreme Ice Wheel!"
The icy moon rises, freezing the sea of consciousness and the soul meridians, a single strike utterly incinerating them!
The illusion shattered, the Extinguished Light Void Desert a slight stirring in the very soul.
[Lu Chenshuang - Perception Boundary - Battle Against the Extinguished Light Void Desert - Shadow of Dynamic Deprivation]
She entered a weightless space.
The concept of "force" no longer exists.
Spells cannot be cast, limbs are uncontrollable, and Soul Arts cannot be activated.
This is the "domain of sensory deprivation".
She raised her hand, and though no movement was felt, she spoke firmly:
"Order Creation: The Sixth Reconstruction Method"
"Ice Wheel Style: Star Frost Ash Radiance!"
Light ignites from the soul.
She doesn't need to move—her belief is attack!
With a single slash, space is reconstructed!
The Extinguished Light Void Desert roared in pain once more.
[Xia Beiyuan - Perception Boundary Severance - Battle Against the Extinguished Light Void Desert - Shadow of Causal Rift]
She was placed in a terrifying illusion of choices:
"Kill Qin Yu, and you'll enjoy ten thousand years of health and freedom from disaster, your soul will ascend directly to the Silent Origin."
"Should we save him, or you'll certainly die?"
She smiled.
"How stupid."
Do you think that we, these people, have reached this point by clinging to life?
"I cultivate the [Soul of Severed Phenomena]."
"To dispel false symbols, to shatter the fog in the mirror!"
Fifth Form: Soul- Soul Rend Frost Breath!
In an instant, the illusion shattered, and the Extinguished Light Void Desert shook the soul!
[Yunyi - Perception Boundary - Battle Against the Extinguished Light Void Desert - Domain of Existence Annihilation]
She entered a world where "she" did not exist.
No one remembers her, no one can hear her, there is no trace of her existence.
But she walked to the center of the world and slowly raised her hand:
"Who I am?"
She asked herself.
She whispered:
"I am Qin Ning's soul beast, the Eye of Battle, the Abyss of the Ming Yuan."
"If I were not in this world—then this world would be a mistake."
"Ming Yuan Dragon Art - Soul-Devouring Consciousness Wheel"
She directly "bit off" a layer of the Extinguished Light Void Desert consciousness.
Six people.
Six Domains.
Six Souls.
Each person defeats their enemy and awakens to their own enlightenment.
The next moment--
The original soul of the Extinguished Light Void Desert finally ceased maintaining the "Absolute Sensory Severance Domain"!
The connection is reconnected, and the six are reunited.
"It's coming." Qin Ning's gaze darkened.
That's the real body.
The entire Silent Nether Swamp seemed shrouded in a colorless veil of death. Light was silent; wind was still; even the ripples of time were obliterated in an unseen abyss. Only that one divine beast, fully awakened—
--[Extinguished Light Void Desert], standing silently above the shattered sea of light.
Its body is composed of ghostly blue light, formless, appearing and disappearing like a dead corner of the world, a place where laws have been forgotten. Each flash is like swallowing a segment of time and space; each shift is like erasing the enemy's "concept of existence" from history.
At this moment, its gaze lowered slightly, fixed on the six people at its feet. Its soul light cascaded down like a waterfall, silent and still, yet it made Qin Ning and the others' blood almost freeze.
⸻
Qin Yu stepped out of the lingering light of the Azure Soul Ripples, his eyes now devoid of any hesitation.
With a sword in hand, one embodies the fighting spirit to slay the desolate light.
"The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, Fourth Form - Sever Fate, Cut Off Return."
His figure instantly transformed into a slash of light, directly approaching the main soul body of the Extinguished Light Void Desert. His sword was like a crack in the sun, slicing through the illusory light, and the aura of the divine sword swept back across the face of heaven and earth.
Before the sword even arrived, the heavens and earth trembled, and a reversible, chaotic severing of destiny cleaved down from the sky!
Xu Mo raised his head and glanced at the scene. Suddenly, thousands of Qin Yu's reflections appeared in the Time Cliff, each one being "annihilated"... Only the true body pierced through all the phantoms with a single sword strike, cutting into the Divine Beast Soul Domain!
[Extinguished Light Void Desert] let out a low whistle, and the ghostly blue soul light swirled back, forcefully swallowing the power of Qin Yu's sword into the chaotic abyss.
This attack, though ineffective, broke the spacetime chains of the Silent Radiance Wheel.
⸻
Qian Ruishan simultaneously formed hand seals, her soul breath chilling to the bone, and the Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly on her left shoulder fluttered its wings and rose.
"First Form - Cold Realm Initial Lock."
She used the power of her two souls to summon a Soul Realm Ice Lock Array, forcibly freezing the dimension where the Extinguished Light Void Desert was located for several breaths. Ice-blue array patterns emerged from the void, freezing the trajectory of soul skills and forcibly suppressing the opponent's "Soul Arts prerequisite mechanism"!
[Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly - First Skill - Ice Radiance Butterfly Breath]
The seven-colored butterfly breath swept across the sky, like condensed rosy clouds, falling into the dim light, freezing the sea of consciousness, and fixing the soul pressure—at that moment, even the Extinguished Light Void Desert "illusory figure" was briefly slowed down, and the frequency of its body's flickering stopped!
⸻
Mu Qingwan's eyes were cold and clear, and the Silent Spirit Snow Fox howled angrily once more.
The snow fox's soul body treads upon the frozen surface of the swamp, its body clad in jet-white soul scales, its tail feathers swirling with flowing light, like frost and snow. Its soul skill unleashes a horizontal slash:
[Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel - First Form - Ice Moon Mirror Radiance]!
She gathered the power of the Ice Soul Moon Essence with the Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel, and a "Full Moon Mirror Light" descended like a silent night, illuminating the heavens and earth.
That was the radiant glow of a judgment in the extreme cold.
The moment the light shone down, the time structure around the Extinguished Light Void Desert soul body froze dramatically, like a ghostly statue being etched by the moonlight!
-
Lu Chenshuang
With her palms covering the ground, a "Five Frosts Realm-Destroying Formation" descended. Skilled in extreme cold soul suppression, she wielded the Ice Soul Sword Wheel, which descended from the sky like a realm of extreme frost and thunder, freezing the rules of all realms. In an instant, even the body of the Extinguished Light Void Desert was imprisoned!
-
Xia Beiyuan
Roaring into battle, the soul beast "Thunderous Soul Xiao" burst forth from its sea of consciousness, carrying a pillar of explosive lightning as it charged into the enemy formation. With a single move, "Soul -Soul Rend Thunder Eminence," it pierced through the soul barrier at the edge of the void, forcefully carving a lightning-splitting passage through the Silent Radiance Domain constructed by the divine beast!
"Even if I have to fight to the death, I'll tear a hole in your androgynous soul!"
-
Just as everyone was launching their combined attack, a streak of light and black shadow suddenly appeared, stepping onto the moonlight—
A girlish figure emerged from the chasm of the abyss.
--That's Youlong Yunyi.
Her gaze was indifferent, yet she slowly raised her right hand, her five fingers sweeping across the air:
"Ming Yuan Dragon Soul - Ultimate Technique - Silent Abyss Single Gaze."
Dragon Eyes opened, and a dark blue light locked onto the "Soul Root Seal" of the Extinguished Light Void Desert!
[Extinguished Light Void Desert] All phenomena around him ceased!
At that moment, all the flow of soul light, fluctuations of laws, and spatial logic were extinguished, leaving only that one point of final radiance shooting from the dragon's eye, like a glance from an ancient god, piercing through the existence logic of the Lord of Silent Radiance.
Qin Yu paused, and the divine light between his fingers suddenly vanished.
"Is the flow of time... reversing?" he murmured.
The five people around also paused for a moment. Lu Chenshuang's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her spiritual energy faltered; Xia Beiyuan even let out a muffled groan, and in an instant, several of the soul rune chains on her back broke.
--That is a kind of oppression that completely strips away the "sense of existence".
At that very moment, a dark blue hole appeared in the sky, and a seemingly incomplete halo of light slowly descended from within it. Its outline was like a shadow, both real and illusory, and its radiance was like mist rather than light. Wherever it shone, even the soul seemed to be frozen.
The Extinguished Light Void Desert... reveal the true essence and its reflection.
It had no definite shape, but was a "spiritual erosion hybrid" composed of countless soul lights, time particles, and fragments of boundary light. At that moment, even with Qin Ning's perception, it was almost impossible to accurately pinpoint the source of its aura.
"It's Ji Hui..." Ling Jingxi whispered, her voice like a dream. "That's the original soul skill of the Extinguished Light Void Desert, [Silent Radiance Falling Wheel]... If it can't be interfered with in time, it will create an entire 'non-existent space'."
"No space exists?" Qian Ruishan repeated softly.
"The traces of your existence, your causes and effects, your perceptions, your Soul Seal will all be erased, not through death... but through complete 'erasure'."
--boom!!
The void suddenly changed, and a torrent of silent light poured down as if from the depths of the universe, instantly sweeping across the entire area. All laws froze at this moment, and soul skills automatically disintegrated.
"I'll go!" Qian Ruishan stepped forward, her soul wheel between her brows blooming with seven-colored frost light, and the Cold Realm Initial Lock and the Silent Frost Shatters the Realm erupted simultaneously.
"Freeze its trajectory!" she whispered, Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly bloomed behind her—
"Extreme Cold Rainbow Realm!"
Seven icy soul rings condensed, forming multiple rainbow mirrors that simultaneously sealed off the point of descent of the Silent Radiance Falling Wheel. Space froze, time stretched, and the swarm of ice butterflies burned brilliantly in the radiant light, actually slowing down the descent of that Radiant Wheel!
"Ice Radiance Butterfly Breath!" Qian Ruishan uttered softly, and butterfly feathers rained down from the Rainbow Realm, freezing the soul void!
"What a Soul Contract-level combat skill system..." Ling Jingxi's eyes showed a rare look of surprise.
Qin Ning's gaze never left the Silent Radiance Falling Wheel. Behind him, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword stood diagonally in the air, its four forms, engraved with marks of annihilation, simultaneously unleashing their power!
"Sever Fate, Cut Off Return-- "
A streak of dark light cleaved from the sword tip, slicing into the silent radiance of the sky.
At the same time, Mu Qingwan stepped forward, her soul power surging, and the Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel appeared before her. She parted her lips slightly:
"Ice Soul Mirror Realm-- "
The moon, like a mirror, transforms into a wheel; the frigid realm becomes a boundary.
A icy mirror-like barrier unfolded behind him, fully amplifying the [Sever Fate, Cut Off Return] beam of light unleashed by Qin Ning. Wherever the icy waves of the mirror-like barrier reached, even the silent light was slowed down!
At this moment, Lu Chenshuang finally moved.
She raised her left hand, and a purple-silver star soul emerged from her palm. Her unique "Illusory Sound Battle Spirit" combat technique was suddenly unleashed:
"Nightmare Snow Star Sound-- "
Amidst the bursts of starlight, waves of low-frequency soul energy swept into the enemy's territory, not to attack, but to directly disrupt the stability of [Silent Radiance Falling Wheel] released by the Extinguished Light Void Desert!
"I'll cooperate!" Xia Beiyuan stomped the ground, unleashing the power of the Image Severing technique—
"The Mountain Mist Heavy Obliteration!"
A sealed Soul Hall descended from the void, its illusory sounds directly suppressing the flow of silent light.
"Now!" Qin Yu's eyes narrowed, and he reached out his right hand, pressing it against the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword:
"The fifth move—it's still immobile... Then let me... use the fourth move to shatter this realm once more!"
"Sever Fate, Cut Off Return, Realm Source Slashing Form, Unleash the Full Power!!"
The heavens and earth trembled violently as the light of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword Realm Breaking simultaneously with the Mirror Soul Ice Realm, the Extreme Cold Rainbow Domain, and the Star Soul Illusionary Sound!
Amidst layers of interwoven magic and rules, the Silent Radiance Falling Wheel shattered with a deafening roar!
The void churned, and the sound of souls shattering was like a cacophony of thunder.
At that moment, the true form of the Extinguished Light Void Desert reappeared, but this time it had been forcibly intercepted by the Six People's Technique and had to withdraw the Void Silent Wheel, turning into soul light and dissipating.
"Very good." Qin Yu stood up slowly, sheathed his longsword, and looked calm.
You haven't seen true Annihilation yet.
After the Extinguished Light Void Desert radiance vanished, the spacetime of the entire Silent Nether Swamp twisted once more.
At this moment, the ground beneath their feet seemed to cease to exist. According to their spiritual feedback, they were already in a chaotic and disordered "Nightmare Severed Domain".
Time is no longer linear, but rather folded.
Space is no longer a dimension, but rather fragmented and floating like shattered pieces.
"This is the second major soul domain skill of the Extinguished Light Void Desert..." Ling Jingxi said solemnly, "[Void Time Disordered Realm] -- Once you delve into it, your past, future, and present consciousness will be forcibly severed, and your soul and body will lose synchronization."
"This... is this the rule tearing at the level of a divine beast?" Xia Beiyuan gasped, her face darkening.
"You must anchor your soul, otherwise you might even die in a future that hasn't happened."
--Buzz!
A sudden, unseen temporal storm erupted, instantly engulfing Qin Ning and the other six.
[Qin Ning - Fragments of Illusory Knowledge]
He stood still before a "still waterfall," a waterfall that did not flow but constantly changed colors.
In the next instant, his body shattered into five time-image fragments—
One is himself before he stepped into the Spirit Firmament.
One is his own self after his first failed attempt at a soul-binding ritual, when his soul was destroyed in the destruction of his realm.
One is himself, fighting Yunyi in the Abyssal Rift Realm, with half of his body collapsing.
One is a blurry afterimage of his future battle, his body burning with the flames of the "Azure Ring Ninth Form," fighting against a "Lord of Annihilation" whose face is obscured.
The last one is himself now, standing amidst countless phantoms, his eyes like mirrors, his hand holding the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword trembling slightly.
"It's an illusion... no, it's 'overlapping of soul visions'."
Qin Ning closed his eyes, broke the deadlock with a single sentence, extended his right palm, placed it on his heart, and infused his soul consciousness into the Azure Ring Soul Wheel:
" --Azure Ring, A Single Thought Returns to the Heart."
The Azure Ring First Form was released once again. The ring, which was originally a combat technique and a symbol of condensed will, became a soul coordinate at this moment, and the soul consciousness was forcibly gathered in the Void Realm!
--boom!
The five shadows merged into one, Qin Ning repelled the Void Storm with a single sword strike, returning to his original form!
[Qian Ruishan - Illusory Soul Split]
She stood in an "eternal ice field," a hallucination world she experienced after her death.
All the Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly withered away, the Cai'er soul light on her shoulder dimmed, and beneath her feet lay shattered ice mirror fragments.
You can't protect anyone in the end.
"You're too weak."
"You are neither Qin Ning, nor Qingwan, nor even as good as the Youlan of the past."
Qian Ruishan looked at the "herself" appearing around her, one failed version after another from different times. The voices were eerie and realistic, piercing her consciousness like snow pressing down on her heart.
However, she did not cry, nor did she break down.
She closed her eyes, her right hand clutching the Ice Butterfly Soul Seed at her heart, and slowly uttered a sentence:
"I am not them, I only need to be myself."
"To become that... Qian Ruishan, who is willing to die for her comrades."
In an instant, the icy plain shattered, and all illusions vanished as butterfly breaths!
Her soul returned to its place, and she forcefully broke through the ethereal soul binding, her figure merging with Qin Ning!
[Mu Qingwan - Shattered Twin Soul Mirror]
At this moment, Mu Qingwan stood beneath a giant mirror moon, her soul suspended, unable to move.
"You are not yet qualified to bear the Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel."
"You haven't even touched the power to truly control a single strike of the Spirit Wheel."
"You are merely a vassal who depends on the power of others."
The reflection of herself in the moonlight spoke coldly to her.
Mu Qingwan chuckled softly, "That was me before."
"But now, I have companions, I have Xueli, and I have my own Mirror Moon."
She opened her arms, Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel descended from the void, entering her back.
You are not me, and I am not you.
"--Then you have no right to exist."
[Ice Soul Mirror Realm - Shadow Slash]!
She annihilated the illusory image with her mind, and the Mirror Wheel erupted with aurora, shattering the illusory mirror in one fell swoop!
She returned, her eyes gleaming with a silver-blue light.
At this moment, Lu Chenshuang, Xia Beiyuan, and Ling Jingxi also experienced their own soul tribulations.
Ling Jingxi, having lived for countless ages, was almost immune to this kind of soul interference and was the first to return.
Lu Chenshuang used the power of the Star Soul to stabilize the Soul Axis and escaped by relying on the chain of divine sense.
Although Xia Beiyuan was once trapped in the cycle of time, he eventually managed to forcibly lock his soul using the Seal of the Image Severing.
"Soul reunited!" Ling Jingxi let out a soft cry.
The six figures reunited in the Silent Nether Swamp.
The Void Time Disordered Realm began to disintegrate, and the figure of the Extinguished Light Void Desert reappeared. However, at this moment, an unstable crack appeared on the surface of its soul shell for the first time.
"Very good," Qin Yu said in a low voice.
"Now, we are qualified to face it head-on."
The Silent Nether Swamp suddenly fell silent.
That faint glimmer of soul light slowly reappeared before everyone.
This time, the Extinguished Light Void Desert no longer concealed itself, but fully revealed its true form as a "demigod beast soul"—
--A deep blue glow, like the ghostly sparks of the dead in the deepest part of the night sky.
Its form cannot be described as a "physical entity"; it is a giant shadow beast woven from countless fragments of light. Its limbs seem to be solidified from the void, and more than ten soul light tentacles hang down from its back like timelines, each of which flickers with shockwaves from different times.
At the center of its body, a vertically opened, eerie pupil, like the eye of death devouring truth, slowly stared at the six people.
--"The Time-Extinguishing Void Eye."
The moment those dark eyes opened, time vanished around the six people.
It no longer flows, nor is it perceived.
At this moment, they were all thrown in—
"The Realm of No Time"
This is one of the strongest soul skills of the Extinguished Light Void Desert, which deprives the enemy of "time perception" and "existence continuity", causing a complete break between their soul and body.
Qian Ruishan:
Her movements froze at the moment she initiated the release of the Soul Mirror, but her consciousness seemed to continue operating at breakneck speed.
"I can't move... Why can't I move?"
"Laws frozen?"
"No, it's that my causal relationship with time has been severed!"
In a flash, the Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly "Cai'er" on my shoulder suddenly flapped its wings!
Suddenly, her remaining Soul Seal outside of time shone brightly, and strands of "soul consciousness freezing" flowed back to her original body in the Extinguished Light Void Desert!
"Extreme Cold Rainbow Realm - Return to the Source Wheel!"
Under the cover of the extreme cold law, Qian Ruishan forcibly froze her own soul consciousness, using "absolute stillness" to counteract the time stripping.
--boom!
In the next instant, her eyes erupted with an icy radiance, and she forcefully broke free from the "Realm of No Time"!
Mu Qingwan:
She stood in a gray and white world, her soul seemingly frozen inside the mirror.
"This is the reverse side of the mirror moon."
"It's the afterimage space left after the soul has left time."
She gently raised her hand, and the Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel automatically appeared in front of her, its blue and silver light shining brightly. The wheel slowly rotated, and the shadow of the icy moon gradually spread in all directions.
"Ice Soul Mirror Realm - Soul Breath Reversal!"
The Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel reflected the "Timelessness Mirror" back to its origin, while the frost froze the "future afterimages" one by one, Reversal Soul's consciousness.
As she broke free from the grayness of time and returned to her original form, the icy wheel behind her hung like a celestial mirror!
Qin Yu:
He did not choose to resist, but closed his eyes and completely opened his mind.
"Extinguished Light Void Desert, do you intend to devour my time?"
"Then try it—my Azure Ring."
The image of the Azure Ring appeared in his consciousness.
At this moment, he was not defying time, but using the "Ring of Spiritual Sense" to actively absorb the soul invasion from the Void Realm!
[Azure Ring - Fourth Form - Realm Abyss Reverse Evolution]!
The Annihilation soul consciousness shattered like a thunderous drum!
The entire "Timelessness Realm" suddenly rebounded like a mirror, and a portion of the soul pressure released by the Extinguished Light Void Desert was "Reverse Derivation" back!
For the first time, that dark eye trembled violently, and cracks appeared!
"So, what you're afraid of isn't time—"
"It is our own will."
At the same time, Ling Jingxi, Lu Chenshuang, and Xia Beiyuan also forcibly escaped from the "Realm of No Time" using their own methods.
Ling Jingxi used the [Realm Soul Lotus Seal] to stabilize her soul and suppress the world, her divine soul remaining as stable as a lotus.
Lu Chenshuang releases [Starry Night Starflow Wall], using starlight to replicate the trajectory of time.
Xia Beiyuan's Soul Seal directly tore through the "Timelessness Curtain," forcibly Realm Breaking!
The next moment, all six people were together, and none of them were caught in the time distortion anymore!
At this moment, the soul light of the Extinguished Light Void Desert fluctuated violently, and the dark pupil at its center had shrunk, as if it were suffering an unprecedented backlash.
"... It's injured."
Ling Jingxi's tone was unusually battle-ready. "Continue to suppress it!"
"We must not allow it to sink into the 'Void Radiance Escape State' again!"
"This time—we must force out its true soul!!"
After the six people completely broke free from the "Realm of No Time," the Extinguished Light Void Desert finally stopped concealing himself.
Cycle Nether, Soul Moon slowly rose above its true form.
That wasn't light.
It is "light that Does Not Exist".
The earth it illuminates is erased by the laws of time and space; wherever it falls, all rules are reduced to dead ends, silence, and annihilation.
"That is..." Qian Ruishan's gaze suddenly sharpened, "The Soul Light Final Wheel."
"... No, it is the Extinguished Light Void Desert essence of the soul."
At this moment, the Extinguished Light Void Desert finally revealed its most essential state—
A formless behemoth, constructed solely from soul light, flowing radiance, and the blind spots of rules.
The deep blue light emanated from the "virtual seal on its forehead," spreading like the tendrils of soul light across heaven and earth.
This scene instilled an unprecedented sense of oppression in everyone.
It wasn't murderous intent.
Rather, it's "the feeling that you will never be remembered by anyone again."
-
Qin Yu's eyes were like blades, Azure Ring appeared on his forehead.
"I've seen borders erased by history; those... were all its prey."
Qian Ruishan whispered, "This thing... it doesn't just devour time and light."
"It can erase all existing 'right of observation'."
"Those killed by it will no longer be a part of anyone's memory."
In just a few short breaths...
The radiance of the Extinguished Light Void Desert, has enveloped the entire Silent Nether Swamp.
The earth, the sky, the lakes, and the shadows of the trees all fell into a kind of "silence of No Observation", and every movement of the six people seemed to be reflected in the time mirror of death.
--It's about to unleash its Ultimate blow.
[The Silent Radiance Falling Wheel].
Above the void, the Cycle Nether moon slowly rotated.
At the moment of rotation, it seemed as if the whole world was folding backward, peeling away, and collapsing.
"Hurry up and do it!" Ling Jingxi shouted.
"We can't let it fully unleash 'Silent Radiance,' otherwise this entire realm will be 'absent from existence'!"
Six people erupted at the same time!
-
[Seventh Form of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword: Sever the Spirit Source Abyss!]
Qin Ning drew his sword horizontally, and nine layers of Realm Breaking appeared in the cleavage of the sword, each slash penetrating the rules and the Fate Soul!
"Sever your glory—destroy your source!"
-
Qian Ruishan - [Silent Frost Shatters the Realm]!
She clasped her hands together, and the ice lock spread out like thunder!
The seven strands of soul snow shattered like a chain of destruction, freezing and collapsing along with the light of silent radiance!
"Freeze your power over time!"
-
Mu Qingwan Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel - Fourth Form: [Ice Soul Mirror Realm]!
A silver-blue halo blooms!
The radiance of the mirror moon and the radiance of silence repelled each other, unleashing an extremely dazzling "Boundary of Light" above the soul void!
In that instant, within the Mirror Realm—her snow fox form, "Xueli," stepped out from the broken Mirror Realm!
White tails dance lightly, ice butterflies bloom, and icy radiance spreads across ten thousand miles!
-
Lu Chenshuang - Starlight's Radiance - [Falling Star Frost Pressure]!
She drew the soul into a star, and with a single sword strike, severed the starlight as if it were divine punishment!
"Even your Extinguished Light can be shattered by 'Star Destruction'."
-
Xia Beiyuan's Soul Skill: [Soul-Subduing Ghost Horn]!
Netherworld thunderclap resounded!
She used her soul power to condense the horn of the Nether Qilin, striking with a single blow to suppress the soul. The soul patterns vibrated, causing the Void Desert's true form to shatter!
"If you can reduce all souls to nothingness, then I will use my own ghosts to suppress your very essence!"
-
Just as everyone was focusing their attacks to suppress the "Silent Radiance Falling Wheel" of the Extinguished Light Void Desert --
A soul-stirring cry suddenly echoed from the distant sky.
It was a spiritual chant from the distant past and beyond the Dragon Abyss.
As the chanting began, the world surged like a black tide, and a figure of a dark-skinned girl slowly emerged from the sky like a falling star.
Yunyi reappears
"Summoner of the Abyss, heed my command!"
It was a young girl's voice, yet it was accompanied by the might of a soul dragon spanning billions of years, as if it came from the end of time.
In the next instant, Youyuan transformed into a shadow and arrived, tearing through the air!
High above, a graceful figure of a young girl stood atop shattered ice and light, stepping into this world shrouded in silent radiance.
She was dressed in a long black and gold patterned gauze, her long silver hair cascading down her waist, her icy black eyes seeming to see the past and the future, her dragon might transforming into a storm of Fate Soul as she stepped into the battlefield!
Youlong Yunyi.
That was the dragon that Qin Ning had bound to the soul in the Abyssal Rift Realm. Now, it has been reborn and is a soul spirit capable of fighting independently.
The moment she appeared, the world changed drastically.
The battlefield, originally shrouded in "Silent Radiance," suddenly revealed a [Dragon Breath Reverse Radiance] domain within a radius of a thousand feet around her.
The devouring of light and time is suppressed!
"You want to devour your soul and consciousness into nothingness?"
Yunyi raised her eyes, her gaze icy cold. She stretched out her slender hand and pointed at the Extinguished Light Void Desert:
"I am the soul of the Abyss Dragon, the master who broke the slumber of ten thousand years."
"You are not worthy to speak of annihilation before me."
-
[Abyss Soul Dragon Breath - Starshine Five Radiances]!
With a single step, black and blue soul patterns appeared on her feet!
Five "Dragon Star Radiance" burst forth from behind, swirling like starry river soul chains!
In an instant, Yunyi unleashed a "Soul Power Strike" constructed from five dragon breath laws with a wave of her hand, as interwoven as starlight and as penetrating as the Dao of Destiny!
First Radiance [Tracing the Abyss] → Shatters the underlying rules of enemy skills and disrupts their release structure!
The second strike [Shock Sense] → Directly penetrates the target's sea of consciousness, reconstructing the soul pressure axis!
The third phase [Splitting Radiance] → Severes the rotation trajectory of the Wheel of Silence, preventing it from entering the "Return to Silence" phase!
Fourth Radiance [Devouring Light] → The Radiance of the Origin Dragon backfires on the enemy's soul light body, causing spiritual annihilation!
The fifth radiance [Chen Duan] → The five radiances simultaneously descended upon the "Soul Core Reflection Wheel" in the Extinguished Light Void Desert, forcibly blasting out its true form, the "Fate Soul Nucleus"!
--The five rays of light shone forth, and the world was once again illuminated!
"Now!" Qin Yu roared.
The six of them teamed up again!
-
Qin Yu's Ninth Form of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword: [Sever Observation, Leaving No Mirror]!
With a slash of the Heavenly Sword Mark, the source light poured into his body, and the blade buried the core of the Extinguished Light deep within!
Qian Ruishan - Silent Frost Shatters the Realm!
The frigid realm was like a frozen wasteland, with icy shards sealing the enemy's Soul Seal!
Mu Qingwan Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel, Fifth Form: [Moon Extreme Ice Wheel]!
The Mirror Wheel soared into the air, the Ice Moon's Judgment cleaved through the soul in a single strike, completely freezing the body of the Extinguished Light!
Lu Chenshuang's Soul Skill: [Nightfall Starfall]!
Transforming into a cold star, he struck its "Time Perception Chain Core" with a single blow!
Xia Beiyuan ·Soul Skill·[Nether Extreme Shakes the Prison]!
He used the Netherworld Horn to condense Soul Explosion Lightning Patterns and bombarded the Extinguished Light's original soul consciousness domain, making it impossible for the light to even maintain its ethereal state!
Youlong Yunyi - Final Radiance Strike - [Abyss Snow Devours Radiance]!
The final strike came from Yunyi's palm, a dragon's breath snow wheel flying past the Wheel of Silence.
That was a collision of souls, each destined for destruction.
-
Finally, with a deafening roar like the shattering of a world!
"Bang--!"
The body of the Extinguished Light Void Desert shattered completely under the immense pressure of the final radiance!
Its "Glowing Soul Moon" murmured softly as it shattered, transforming into countless fragments of light that scattered across the Silent Nether Swamp.
And the "Soul Light Core," which was originally unobservable, finally lost all its resistance.
--This is the opportune moment for the soul-binding.
Just when everyone thought victory was assured—
Within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, the Azure Ring appeared.
--It's time.
In the Silent Nether Swamp, the dust settled, and all souls fell silent.
But everyone understood that it was not the end.
Even though the "Soul Light Core" of the Extinguished Light Void Desert has been stripped away, the original soul of such a transcendent divine beast will never truly perish unless its original divine nature is completely annihilated.
At that moment, the entire battlefield seemed to come to a standstill.
--Until Qin Ning slowly raised his right hand.
Within his sea of consciousness, the ancient and profound Azure Ring finally revealed the soul shadow trajectory of the fifth form after the battle reached its Limit.
"This is..."
He spoke softly, his voice sharp as a blade, yet his gaze was more serene than before.
"Azure Ring, Fifth Form."
" --Spirit Filth Annihilates Heaven."
-
Within Qin Ning's body, Cycle Nether blue light suddenly expanded!
The entire Soul Domain trembled like water, and all the laws and patterns in the world seemed to be permeated by an indescribable "breath of pollution"!
That is an absolute annihilation power that corrodes the very source of the law, corrupts the essence of the artifact spirit, and erases the meaning of the soul's existence!
It's not "kill," it's not "annihilate."
Instead, it annihilates the very essence of the Soul Path, stripping it of its right to exist from its very foundation.
This technique is only used against an absolute enemy.
"Extinguished Light Void Desert... You are the first."
He stepped forward, and the ethereal image of the Azure Ring descended upon the world!
-
[Spirit Filth Annihilates Heaven]
[Phase One] -- Invasion of the Spirit Filth Origin Breath
The Azure Ring released its "Spirit Filth Origin Breath," silently infiltrating every clue of the rules of heaven and earth. The Extinguished Light Void Desert "Soul Core" began to vibrate, its remnant soul wailing, seemingly feeling an unprecedented fear.
[Phase Two] -- Corrupting the Roots of Enemy Morals
The aura of spiritual defilement surged into the deepest part of the soul core of the Extinguished Light Void Desert like a tide. The divine beast roots that were originally unaffected by external forces began to crack and peel off, emitting a black and gold glow like a shattered mirror.
[Phase Three] -- Destroy the Spirit Body
The ethereal body formed from the floating shadow of the soul seemed to peel away inch by inch under the cleansing of spiritual filth, its "sense of existence" completely erased from this world.
Even the original form, which Extinguished Light Void Desert, began to lose its sense of "self"!
[Final Stage] -- Annihilation of the Soul Seal, Return to the Abyss
A wisp of eerie light flew out from between Qin Ning's eyebrows, transforming into an "Soul-Annihilating Seal" that was imprinted into the Soul Core of Extinguished Light.
The next moment--
The Extinguished Light Void Desert remnant soul suddenly exploded, silent, colorless, and Formless.
To everyone else, it seemed as if it had never existed, leaving only that faint blue "Soul Seal crystal" that slowly fell into Qin Ning's palm.
-
Silence.
Utter silence.
The entire Silent Nether Swamp seemed to submit, falling into an unprecedented stillness.
-
This time, it's not about defeating.
Instead--
Annihilate its soul, complete soul binding successful!
Yunyi slowly descended from the air, her gaze as gentle as water as she looked at Qin Ning, and murmured softly:
"Everything you told me in the abyss that day, today... you have done it."
Qian Ruishan, Mu Qingwan, Lu Chenshuang, and Xia Beiyuan also slowly walked over.
They were all in high spirits at this moment; though exhausted from the battle, they still looked heroic.
Qian Ruishan chuckled softly, "Is this the Azure Ring... fifth form?"
"Spirit Filth Annihilates Heaven..." Mu Qingwan whispered, her eyes filled with boundless shock, "It's not just an end, it's stripping away your 'reason for existence'..."
-
Thus, the last and most powerful of the five divine beasts...
[Extinguished Light Void Desert]
It has already been killed and contracted by Qin Yu.
Its Soul Seal totem slowly emerged from behind Qin Ning:
Cycle Nether light floated around the Azure Ring, seemingly reflecting the abyss of annihilation at the end of time.
The eerie blue light of annihilation had not yet dissipated when the five stood in the center of the Silent Nether Swamp. The remnants of the battle left behind large areas of crumbling soul patterns and cracks in light and shadow, and the landscape was completely unrecognizable.
Right now--
Qin Yu's soul stirred slightly, and a wisp of fading radiance emanated from his body.
Immediately following, the entire sky Silent Nether Swamp suddenly fell into an Eternal Silence hue, a blend of deep blue and pale white.
The next moment.
He has arrived.
-
A wisp of ethereal light descended gracefully, stirring up a soul aura as ethereal as wind and snow, as if pulling together time and perception.
Then, as everything came to a standstill, the shadow of a divine beast, almost impossible to perceive by ordinary means, slowly emerged in the void:
-
[Extinguished Light Void Desert - Master Form]
"Final Light Plunderer - The Soul-Eating Beast of Silent, Illusory Radiance"
It has no concrete form, yet it can construct an illusory "sense of existence" in an instant.
From the perspective of the crowd, it appears as a colossal beast, yet also as a form of ethereal, flowing light; sometimes it takes the form of a female, with eyes as clear as ice mirrors in the daytime, and sometimes it is a colossal male shadow, devouring light and eroding souls with every step.
Its main body is constructed of ghostly blue soul light, and its surface is covered with fine, stardust-like "time-flowing patterns."
Every inch of existence seems to be simultaneously born, aging, collapsing, and disappearing.
Countless eerie blue tail flames drifted along, as if the void of daylight were swallowing the sky, capable of completely destroying the "perception" of an entire realm with a single breath.
-
Mu Qingwan held her breath and spoke softly, a barely concealed tremor appearing in her eyes:
"This is... the complete form of the Extinguished Light Void Desert... it's terrifying."
Qian Ruishan's expression was composed as she softly recited:
"It is not a coming... but rather, 'being allowed to exist once again'."
The Extinguished Light Void Desert gently twisted its body, having completely submitted to Qin Ning's original soul, becoming one of his true soul beasts and seals.
In the eyes of others, it was not kneeling in submission, but rather more like another being "running parallel with the master's consciousness"...
Like an eternally unchanging "Soul Destruction Star," it will, according to Qin Ning's will, return to the myriad realms of the Spirit Firmament.
-
At this moment, the Azure Ring appeared behind Qin Ning, Spirit Filth Annihilates Heaven still lingered.
And his aura surged violently!
-
Qin Yu - Realm Breakthrough
The Realm Consciousness Realm · Fifth Stage Perfection → The Severed Phenomena Realm Fifth Stage Perfection
That was a true "Soul Path Rise".
The Azure Ring Divine Soul, the Extinguished Light Void Desert Soul Seal, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword itself, and the Youlong Yunyi Soul Breath—
All the power beyond the Realm Master level reached its Ultimate within him, allowing him to directly step into the top stage of the Image Severing, only one step away from the "Gate of Silent Origin".
-
Almost simultaneously, Qian Ruishan's aura surged, and her two souls resonated to form the Frost and Flowing Butterfly Seals!
-
Qian Ruishan - Realm Breakthrough
The Realm Consciousness Realm Second Stage Perfection → The Severed Phenomena Realm Fifth Stage Perfection
Her two souls have been completely merged in this long battle against the Extinguished Light Void Desert. The Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly is connected to her original soul, and she can now instantly unleash the ultimate transformation of the "Composite Soul Skill".
The power of soul consciousness... is already enough to shake the Initial Stage of the Silent Source Realm!
-
On the other side, Mu Qingwan's slightly trembling figure suddenly rose up under the protection of the Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel and the Silent Spirit Snow Fox.
The Ice Soul Mirror Realm exploded with a deafening roar in her sea of consciousness, its Soul Seal radiance illuminating the Nine Frosty Realms!
-
Mu Qingwan: Breakthrough in Realm
Initial Yuan Realm, Second Stage Perfection → Realm Consciousness Realm First Stage Perfection
At this moment, she finally stepped into the true core of the path of soul consciousness, and the gate of realm consciousness opened for her.
Under the Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel, she will transform into the "Ice Moon Main Soul" and gradually step into the true peak of her cultivation path.
-
The wind has stopped.
Yunyi slowly descended, her gaze gently fixed on the three of them, and softly said:
"You... you really did it."
"Signing with this god is not just for the sake of the Spirit Firmament... it's also about fighting for a glimmer of hope for the future."
The Extinguished Light Void Desert behind Qin Ning transformed into a totem of contract, merging into his sea of soul.
The distant, Silent Nether Swamp, as if waking from a dream, has returned to silence.
-
This long and arduous battle between the gods has finally come to an end.
Qin Yu and his team achieved a comprehensive breakthrough.
