Severed Order and Withered Life · Flower's Silence and Annihilation Origin
Before the sky moves, the soul grows cold.
On that day, at the southwestern border of the three regions of the Spirit Firmament Realm, there were no unusual thunderous phenomena in the sky, nor were there any warnings of black flames.
But in an instant, the sunlight froze across the entire area, and the sense of light was stripped away.
It was as if the "time" between heaven and earth had been frozen in place.
At the summit of Soul Cloud, a hoarse and icy command echoed from the Timelessness Boundless Realm:
"The realm of locked consciousness, the three abysses of shattered order, and the arising of Annihilation."
Following closely behind, three auras, resembling three "Soul Realm Master," slowly appeared atop the void.
Firstly,
The one who stepped out from the left was clad in brownish-gray soul armor, tall and gaunt, with thirty-four Time Splitting chains appearing behind him, each chain encircling a wisp of reincarnation's silent flame, exuding a chaotic sense that "time no longer moves forward."
--It was none other than You Junhan's Fifth Soul Judge:
[Broken Time - Desert Radiance]
The Silent Source Realm: It severs the lifeblood of time, halts the cycle of reincarnation, and eliminates future possibilities.
The legend of this combat technique says, "What is severed in an instant can never be reopened for eternity."
Secondly,
The one on the right was completely covered in black talisman skin, his face twisted like a ghost entangled by ten thousand souls, and his body was engraved with ninety-nine kinds of "soul life curses". With each step he took, hundreds of mournful cries echoed from the void.
--The Seventh Soul Judge:
[Life Stealer - Abyss Walker]
The Silent Source Realm: Skilled at absorbing souls, seizing lives, and erasing the "vitality" and "selectivity" of existence.
It was once recorded as being able to "seize the will of ten thousand lives with a single incantation."
Thirdly,
The one standing at the core of the soul array is a woman, her entire body pale white like a withered bone shell, her long hair trailing on the ground, her eyes Emptiness of pupils, and behind her emerges a "Fragment of the Source of Consciousness Map", which is filled with words of World Extinguisher and the soul patterns of the Annihilation Abyss.
--The Eighth Soul Judge:
[The Source of Collapse - The Annihilated Remains Mother]
The Silent Source Realm: It specifically devours the enemy's fundamental consciousness, rendering the opponent unable to maintain their logic of existence.
He is skilled in the [Consciousness-Routing Corrosion Seal] and the [Nine Origins Tribulation Transformation Formation], and his soul-slaying techniques are extremely difficult to defend against.
The three judges appear together, and the dark soul presses down upon the realm.
In an instant, the sky transformed into a curtain of the Soul Realm, plunging hundreds of cities into darkness and oppression. A million soul soldiers marched in from the void Rending Abyss, their steps as orderly as a torrent of consciousness. Each one was a soul general infused with the consciousness of the dead, their terrifying combat power unmatched by any ordinary army.
--
As the Soul Abyss approached, Hua Xue, like the moon, slowly rose before the Spirit Firmament Array.
A white-clad, mirror-like spirit descended from the heavens, its hair as white as snow, its eyes reflecting the judgment of the three souls.
Ling Jingxi appears.
She didn't say a word, nor did she brandish any weapon; she simply extended her fingertips and slowly unfolded the Soul Mirror in her palm.
The three judges' soul energy surged, and their soul pressure swept towards her wildly.
But in the next instant, another beam of deep purple soul light descended from the sky.
It was an old man standing with his hands behind his back, wearing a Heavenly Netherworld Robe, his eyes sealed off from the six senses, and in his hand he held a long staff with mottled broken marks, which seemed capable of sealing off the power of all spirits.
The Grand Venerable Mingxu makes his appearance.
He stood to the left of Ling Jingxi, looking directly at the three figures ahead, and said calmly:
"Perfect timing! I just happened to be looking to stretch my muscles today."
Mirror Soul Light, Netherworld Soul Power.
Then, in the Heavenly Abyss, a million Spirit Firmament disciples solemnly formed an array under the cover of the two soul breaths, and five hundred thousand contracted soul beasts had already set up the Myriad Soul Locking Array.
Before the soul army moves, the soul formation takes precedence.
Just as Ling Jingxi and the Grand Venerable Mingxu landed steadily in front of the Spirit Firmament, the three Soul Judges opposite them—
The Source of Destruction Annihilated Remains Mother slowly raised her hand, and a Source Bone Battle Banner engraved with World Extinguisher words quietly entered the Sky Soul Array.
"--Disillusionment·Nine Sources Sealing."
At this moment, with her at its core, the heavens unfurled rings of the Nine Origins Sealing Abyss Soul Patterns, like Rending Domain in an altar, constructing a consciousness-destroying array capable of causing the sea of consciousness to collapse automatically and reversing the logic of existence.
"Anyone who steps into this formation will have their consciousness utterly destroyed, and their soul and bones will be transformed."
Nine beams of light from the array base shot out, forming a Soul Source Refining Tower Array that directly isolated half of the Soul Domain in the Spirit Firmament!
At the same time, the figure of the Life-Plundering Abyss Disciple transformed into ninety-nine layers of soul shadows, eerily weaving between the boundaries of soul energy. His combat techniques required no formation.
--But rather, it was a "chantment".
"Withered Life Curse - Death Mark"
His voice seemed to resound simultaneously in the sea of consciousness of all beings, and the soul instincts of all disciples and soul beasts began to detach from warmth, blood, and memories!
Within a single breath of the incantation, hundreds of Spirit Firmament disciples had already fainted and lost consciousness before even making contact with the enemy!
And the gaunt, ghostly figure standing behind the formation—
Duan Shi Mo Hui Zun did not make a move, but instead quietly unfolded the Duan Shi Chain behind him.
The chain links emerge from its spine, forming a structure of twelve broken segments, each segment bearing a "mark of temporal fracture".
He recited in a low voice:
"Time-Broken Chain Abyss Wheel."
"In the next five breaths, everything in this world will cease to move forward."
Boom--
As he pressed his palms into the void of the Soul Realm, the twelve chain marks instantly spread, sealing off the entire Spirit Firmament Soul Field within a 500,000-zhang radius into a "time-freezing zone"!
--Without power at the level of the Silent Source Realm or above, one cannot break free from this "Chain Abyss Consciousness Seal".
Ling Jingxi sensed that the entire soul field suddenly froze; the wind stopped, the light stopped, and even the flow of soul intent was forced to slow down.
But she showed no fear; the spirit mark between her brows quietly bloomed, and a cool smile played on her lips.
"--Mirror Soul, not within time."
She raised her hand and summoned the Mirror Soul, which manifested itself, and illusory light, like waves, snow, and the moon, covered the area ten feet in front of her and the Grand Venerable Mingxu.
This is: [Mirror Silk Realm Seal]
Behind this mirror wall, the Grand Venerable Mingxu also stepped lightly, raising his left palm. A Soul-Sealing Ancient Seal appeared in his palm, resembling the "Silent Seal Origin Diagram" that had been dormant for millions of years.
"You think you can lock me up with a time-limited technique? You underestimate me."
With a flick of his right hand, the Soul Seal was pressed back into the ground, forming an "eternally inextinguishable seal."
[Silent Soul Breaks Seal - Reversing Time Abyss]!
With a loud "boom," the broken chain links trembled violently, and a time ripple was directly reversed, causing two of the chain links to shatter!
Duan Shi Mo Hui Zun was slightly taken aback, and whispered:
"He can... sever the time lock?"
The Grand Venerable Mingxu remained unmoved, and simply said:
"My turn."
He suddenly swung his staff, causing the Soul Domain to tremble. The formation of a million disciples was fully deployed, and five hundred thousand contracted beasts roared in unison. The Netherworld Soul Lock Seal Formation - Silent Pressure of the Azure Sky was activated!
The entire array diagram covered 30,000 zhang, sealing both the Nine Origin Soul Array and the Time Break Chain!
Ling Jingxi waited no longer, her Soul Mirror spinning in her hand like the moon floating in an abyss, its light swirling back as she spoke softly:
"Dawn Realm - Reflecting the Heart."
The mirror shone brightly, reflecting the soul image. The first soul image was none other than the Source Collapse - Annihilated Remains Mother!
The first three cuts came out, and the first battle broke the sky.
Under the Nine Sources Seal, the Soul Domain should no longer be in turmoil.
But just as Ling Jingxi's [Dawn Realm Heart Reflection] unfolded, the soul image appearing in the mirror light suddenly twisted and cracked.
The figure of the Source of Collapse Annihilated Remains Mother appeared in the mirror, but her full appearance was not revealed. Her original consciousness was transformed into nine layers of "Soul Corpse Vortexes", each of which spewed out a "Poisonous Smoke of Recognition Annihilation" to corrode the mirror soul's body!
This is precisely her most evil skill:
Recognition Annihilation - Collapse of Fate Wheel
--Those who are seen by the Soul Mirror will have their life essence swallowed into the Wheel, assimilating with hundreds of dead souls into "amnesiac consciousness"!
However, Ling Jingxi advanced instead of retreating, and the Mirror Soul rotated again, forming a reverse seal with the "Soul Reflection Law," and sighed softly:
"The mirror reflects a myriad of images, the shadows return to the depths of the heart."
BOOM!!
Within her sea of consciousness, Ling Jingxi pointed a finger down, and the Mirror Soul spun again, actually drawing all the Recognition Annihilation Poison Vortex into the "Silk Mirror Realm" behind her!
That "Silk Mirror Realm" is one of the Ultimate mirror domains formed by her natal Fate Soul, capable of suppressing the enemy's consciousness into the Soulless Circuit!
The Annihilated Remains Mother sensed something was wrong and immediately tore through space, attempting to leap out of the void—only to suddenly discover that the surrounding "rules" had failed.
--She cannot leap.
Her source of consciousness is having its hierarchical structure severed by a higher-level force!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu remained indifferent.
"You've shattered my mind, I'll sever your soul."
He raised the mottled, broken staff, his hand seals instantly shifting, and four Nether Soul Tracks descended, slamming down to lock the four consciousness meridian hubs of the Collapse Source Annihilated Remains Mother!
This is one of his "innate sealing techniques":
The Soul Pivot Seal - The Four Origin-Extinguishing Arts
In an instant, the "Remnant Diagram of the Source of Consciousness" engraved with the Soul Incantation on the back of the Annihilated Remains Mother began to burn, and the root of the flow of consciousness began to collapse!
Her shrill scream suddenly rang out, shaking the entire Soul Realm!
"Impossible! How could you see through my Source Curse Seal?"
The Grand Venerable Mingxu coldly uttered:
"From beginning to end, you only saw our soul bodies in this life... but you never knew that I was originally a seal bearer reincarnated from the soul fire of the outer realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, his staff struck down like thunder, directly smashing into the core of the consciousness source array!
Boom----!!
Under the watchful eyes of countless Spirit Firmament disciples, the massive soul body of the Source- Annihilated Remains Mother crumbled like rotten ashes, and its source of consciousness was directly shattered by the [Four Origin-Extinguishing Arts]!
Before its remnant soul could escape, it was struck by Ling Jingxi's [Mirror Silk Realm Seal] and forced into the Mirror Soul, then transferred to the "Flower Domain Abyss Lock" for sealing!
At this point--
Seventh Soul Judgment - Source Annihilated Remains Mother - Annihilation!
The entire Nine Sources Soul Sealing Array collapsed instantly, and the Soul Domain reopened amidst the tremors!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu did not turn around, but only said calmly:
"One."
Ling Jingxi looked down at the faint light within the Soul Mirror, her fingers gently stroking it, causing the mirror to swirl, and she whispered:
"Seal in... Weiyang Huaxin."
The mirror petals closed, sealing the soul like an abyss.
However, in the next instant, something unexpected happened!
Having lost their companions, Duan Shi Mo Hui Zun and Lue Ming Ku Yuan Tu roared to the sky almost simultaneously, their souls shattering and blood-red runes emerging from their bodies!
--They activated the Soul-Sealing Technique simultaneously!
Above the void, a thousand broken chains of time suddenly extended, and the Soul Abyss Cursed Bones fell heavily!
The two Soul Judges were enraged and vowed to bury Ling Jingxi and the Grand Venerable Mingxu together!
The Annihilation of the Source of Annihilated Remains Mother was like the collapse of the pillar that balanced the soul laws.
One of the Three Judges of the Silent Souls was the first to be defeated!
This news from the battlefield sent shockwaves through the Soul Army; but within the Spirit Firmament Army, it was a surge of power that shook the very heavens!
However, among the ten judges from You Junhan —the two judges, Duan Shi and Lue Ming—are no ordinary individuals.
The annihilation of the Annihilated Remains Mother did not frighten the two; instead, it ignited their deepest "soul-binding shackles."
--
The Time-Breaking Demon Lord suddenly tore apart the twelve time chains behind him!
Sizzle--
The broken chains danced and transformed into ghostly timelines, encircling his arms, soul, and sea of consciousness, constructing a bizarre form never before seen in the Spirit Firmament Realm:
"Severing World - Reverse Abyss Soul Type"
This is one of the Soul-Binding Techniques, which completely reverses the flow of one's own time segment, preventing any enemy attack, law, or consciousness from hitting the "current point in time" they are in, regardless of when it is triggered.
As long as he keeps moving, no attack can lock onto the real "him".
The Grand Venerable Mingxu sensed a chill and murmured:
"He transformed himself... into a soul that Does Not Exist in the 'present'?"
Ling Jingxi frowned; the Soul Mirror could hardly reflect such a reversed abyss existence.
At the same moment, the Plunderer of the Dead Abyss on the other side went even more frenzied.
He detonated each of the ninety-nine soul-binding seals on his body, each seal releasing a curse power of "fate stripping":
Some can cause an enemy to lose half of their talent;
Some enemies are so well forgotten.
Some even completely erase the "reason for existence".
He grinned, his voice like the gasping of a thousand souls:
My name is 'The Withered Abyss Life Tribulation'.
Then, he unleashed his true killing spell array:
[The Curse of Calamity - The Cause of Falling into Calamity]
• Effect: When an enemy is in the formation, their "Fate Cause" in their sea of consciousness will be locked in the "Withered Abyss Mirror Abyss". Their past cultivation, contracted soul beast, weapon techniques, emotions and will will all fall into the cycle of tribulation, leaving only an empty body!
--At the front of the Spirit Firmament, a True Soul Realm disciple was unable to dodge in time. His soul went blank for a moment, and then he "forgot himself" and knelt down on the spot, falling into a deep sleep.
This technique is not about attacking or fighting, but about completely erasing a person's "sense of existence".
In an instant, the Spirit Firmament Front was once again in danger!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu swiftly formed a seal to defend, Ling Jingxi instantly unleashed [Cold Light Reaches the Abyss]!
This cold light is not physical coldness, but a kind of "Abyss of Consciousness Abyss Cold Radiance" originating from the Mirror Soul Realm, which can freeze the flow of the enemy's soul intent, making it impossible for them to connect with the source of consciousness and the spell energy.
Click!
The Life-Stealing Abyss Disciple paused, his spell wheel temporarily frozen.
But he sneered, bit his tongue, and spat out the Reverse Soul Blood Curse:
"You use the coldness of the mirror to suppress my perception? Then I will devour your karma!"
[The Withered Abyss Reflection-Seizing Curse]!
Boom!!
Ling Jingxi's Mirror Soul was actually backfired by the Life-Stealing Curse Wheel, which produced a "past obsession image". Her brow trembled, and she was almost pulled into the chaotic Dream Abyss!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu frowned and once again extended his palm to protect himself. Only through their combined efforts could they barely break free from the backlash—but they also realized:
This is no longer an ordinary battle of combat skills, but a contest at the "source of curses" level.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Duan Shi Mo Hui Zun's "Abyss-like Body" had begun to blur space, and in the peripheral vision of Grand Venerable Mingxu, he was actually approaching Ling Jingxi step by step...
Yet no sense could pinpoint his exact "soul location"!
Ling Jingxi whispered:
We must find his 'locating factor,' otherwise we cannot take action.
The Grand Venerable Mingxu said softly:
"I'll activate 'Soul Balance,' you determine 'True Abyss.'"
"Soul Balance".
This is the most mysterious combat technique of the Grand Venerable Mingxu, which he has never fully demonstrated in front of others.
At this moment, he slowly stepped into the center of the formation, a boundary seal arc condensing in his palm, and he chanted softly:
"The fate of the soul is not bound by time and space, nor by incantations. Only the weight of the soul can sever the abyss of falsehood."
He slowly spread his five fingers, and a "Soul Balance Ruler" that was entirely black and inscribed with nine layers of recognition patterns condensed from the void and fell into his palm.
This foot is called:
[Mingheng: Analyzing Falsehoods]
Its core principle is not "observing the enemy," but rather --
The weight of the soul.
The truth of the school's knowledge.
As long as you "exist", you have soul weight and will be marked by the Soul Balance.
Even if you are in the Abyss of Reversal and not in the "current time", as long as you are still alive, your soul value will be locked by the Balance Soul.
At the same time, Ling Jingxi looked up, and three layers of mirrored flower realms appeared behind her:
One Mirror Locks the Cause;
Two mirrors reflect each other;
Three mirrors reflecting the abyss--
"Mirror Soul: The Three Senses Define the Boundary"
Of the three mirrors, the third one quietly blossoms, its name is:
[Mirror Abyss Balance Reflection]
Once the enemy's true soul value is revealed, a "Soul Abyss Reflection" can be formed in the "Mirror Abyss," reflecting all its movement trajectories and its outline three breaths from now!
--It was these two who joined forces to finally form the "Abyss Blockade Combination"!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu wielded the Soul Balance Ruler.
Boom--!
Nine soul runes pierced through the core of the formation, transforming into nine "Guiding Sense Lock Marks," like soul whales swimming in the abyss, drawing a blazing light towards the Emptiness!
Ling Jingxi held up a flower in her right palm, and the Mirror Soul slowly rotated. A blurry soul shadow appeared in the third Mirror Flower—
That was none other than: the "Reflection of the Original Soul" of the Broken Time · Desert Radiance Venerable!
He was startled to realize something was wrong. Just as he was about to leap out of the Soul Abyss, he saw the mirror light ripple around him, completely sealing off his soul's movement!
He was horrified:
"Impossible! How could you possibly determine my soul value when I'm not currently in the game?"
The Grand Venerable Mingxu slowly said:
"You've defied the present, yet you still live within this realm."
"Then it is not the Silent Origin Supreme."
Ling Jingxi's eyes turned cold, and the Soul Mirror flashed with an icy white light, focusing its light with a single finger:
"[Dawn Realm Heart Reflection]!"
The Mirror Realm rose once more, and all the consciousness, thoughts, and incantations within the shadow of the Venerable Mo Hui... were transformed into overlapping reflections of "Causal Loop," falling into ripples of chaotic consciousness!
Enraged, Mo Huizun bit his tongue, forcefully activating the three soul chains—
[Cause Break - Chain Collapse]!
The three soul chains triggered a reverse force explosion, forcibly blasting away the pressure of the Mirror Realm!
Blood gushed from the mirror, Ling Jingxi's body trembled, her face turning pale!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu arrived in an instant, severing the three chains with the Soul Balance Ruler, a single word shaking the soul:
"Break."
Click!!
The three chains shattered instantly, and the Soul Realm regained its balance.
At this moment, the two had completely forced the enemy of the broken time back to the edge of their sea of consciousness, forming a blockade.
But on the other side, the Life-Stealing Abyss Disciple suddenly turned his curse wheel again, and an extremely terrifying soul skill slowly unfolded.
He reversed the blood wheel in his hand, summoning a phantom ancient palace called "Desolate Abyss of Souls," from which countless curses and shadows surged forth.
He was preparing to unleash one of the most terrifying cursed spirits:
[Extinction of Destiny - Tribulation Lord]
This technique burns one's own consciousness to construct the form of "Master of Cursed Fate," forcibly seizing the target's "Source of Fate Soul" with "Reversed Fate Burning Soul," preventing them from ever condensing their soul again!
If this technique were unleashed, even the Grand Venerable Mingxu would have his soul shattered and his divine sense scattered!
Both Ling Jingxi and the Grand Venerable Mingxu showed solemn expressions.
But at this very moment--
A gleaming azure sword descended from the heavens!
Qin Ning has appeared!
He pointed to the battlefield, his words decisive:
"I'll do it."
Myriad curses flowed, the Soul Hall pressed down on the heavens.
The ultimate curse technique of the Fallen Abyss Disciple – [Extinction of Life: Curse of Tribulation Lord] – is halfway complete.
He burned his own consciousness and soul, causing even his spiritual body to crack with incantations, as if he wanted to seize back the entire causal system of his Fate Soul.
The ancient palace of cursed souls emerged from the heavens. It had no doors or windows, yet countless wailing souls echoed within—it was not a building, but a manifestation of a "destined calamity," specifically designed to seal the "existential trajectory" of those whose Fate Soul had been stripped away.
The Grand Venerable Mingxu's expression suddenly turned cold, and he shouted in a deep voice:
"If this technique is fully activated, Ling Jingxi will completely lose her Fate Soul!"
He reached out with his right hand to block the heart of the curse wheel, but saw that millions of soul curses had already gathered above the curse hall, condensing into a curse wheel, with tears of blood flowing from its nine orifices.
[Nine-Curse Fate Wheel], the Lord of Destiny is about to awaken!
At this very moment,
A wisp of azure divine light streaked down from behind the Spirit Firmament Battle Formation!
That blue light was like thunder yet not thunder, like light yet not light.
A suspended Soul Seal fell in an instant, as if it had suddenly crashed in from beyond the Nine Realms—not a sword, yet more powerful than one.
Fear flashed in the eyes of the Life-Stealing Abyss Disciple:
"What... what is that?!"
In that instant, the Ghostly Curse Palace was cleaved down from directly above by that azure light!
Boom--!!
The entire "Ancient Temple of Fate Curse" was cleaved in two by a single blow!
Countless spells Fate Soul collapsed and scattered, and those souls whose lives were about to be taken away were instantly freed from the spells, turning into phantoms that flew across the sky.
Ling Jingxi was slightly shaken when she saw the blue light.
That was neither a skill from the mortal realm nor a traditional Soul Arts.
The Grand Venerable Mingxu frowned slightly and whispered:
"That's... Qin Yu's Azure Ring Power."
"Second Form: Realm-Severing Silent Light."
Qin Yu was not present on the battlefield at this moment.
He remained behind the battle lines, holding Azure Ring, pointing it at the source of the cursed soul, and with the radiance of the severing realm, shattered the core of the cursed soul.
This beam of light was not for killing enemies.
--It was to protect people.
Ling Jingxi's heart stirred slightly, but she suppressed her emotions and regained her cool demeanor. She knew this was his way.
She didn't need to thank him, and he didn't need to explain.
She must win.
With a furious roar, the Plunderer of the Dead Abyss suffered a massive collapse of his consciousness. The backlash from the curse caused him to vomit blood, and his aura plummeted.
But he still raised the remnant cursed blood wheel, pointing angrily at the heavens:
"You! You, Lord of the Azure Ring! How dare you obstruct me?!"
The Grand Venerable Mingxu shouted in a deep voice:
"You're here to kill Ling Jingxi, not to fight Qin Yu!"
"If you continue to draw upon the power of external souls, the Ruler of Soul Balance will surely sever the source of your consciousness!"
Enraged, but knowing he was no match for the enemy, he withdrew his Blood Wheel and took several steps back, his eyes filled with resentment.
At this moment, Duan Shi Mo Hui Zun on the other side had also completed the reconstruction of the "Reverse Abyss Chain". The cursed soul returned to the abyss and the trajectory was blocked. He was silent, but his soul aura was already layered a hundred times, obviously preparing for the next attack.
The battle between the two sides has entered a new Threshold!
--In the sky, the azure light that had slain the Cursed Palace had long since dissipated, leaving only a faint trace that quietly streaked across the heavens.
That is:
"He came here."
But he still reserves the lead role for you.
The silence that followed the brief clash was like the oppressive pressure of descending into an abyss.
But silence does not mean the end.
Quite the opposite—it's the tidal wave of devastation before the thunder!
-
The Venerable Mo Hui, who had been silent for so long, suddenly rose up!
He crossed his palms and pulled out three dark golden "Severed Soul Chains" from behind him, each chain connected to the "Origin of Consciousness" in his own Soul Sea! These were not weapons, but his natal consciousness chains!
He muttered a curse in a low voice:
"Broken Abyss - Soul Master."
In an instant, three chains of consciousness pierced into the ground, and then, as if traversing the void, penetrated into the core of cause and effect time!
Boom!
A vortex-like celestial ring suddenly appeared above the entire battlefield. That was—the Soul Abyss Karma Sealing Domain!
[Abyss-Severing Master-Sealing Array]:
Once the domain is formed, those involved will completely "lose" their place in the causal trajectory;
In other words, Ling Jingxi and the Grand Venerable Mingxu had no further "reason" to attack within this domain;
Every attack you launch will crumble instantly because the "source is cut off"!
This is not a fair contest of magic, but a brutal crushing of cause and effect!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu frowned, his soul consciousness overflowing, already sensing the cruelty of this domain.
Ling Jingxi did not retreat. Instead, she slowly raised her right hand, and the Mirror Spirit appeared, activating all three mirrors at the same time!
"Dawn Realm: Soul Reflecting Heart's Cause"
Then, in the third mirror, "Dawn Realm," a strange flower slowly appeared, its name being:
[Realm-Tracing Flower Shadow]!
She didn't seek the "reason for the attack" from the enemy, but rather reconstructed the "existence of the attack" from the remnants of her own Fate Soul!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu's gaze flickered slightly:
"She was actually able to reconstruct the attack logic using 'Fate Soul Reflection' within the realm of cause-severance?"
Within the Ling Jingxi, a single finger gently falls!
The three mirrors reflect each other, forming a "mirror-locked wheel center," whose trajectory is not a linear attack, but rather—
Overlapping Tracks, Soul-Shattering Causes, Non-Causal Attacks
Boom--!
Where her finger imprint bloomed, the mirror light struck the heart of the domain, directly severing a causal rift!
The next moment, the Grand Venerable Mingxu seized the opportunity and made his move, the [Soul Balance Ruler] appearing in his palm, severing the seal of the sealing array!
"Soul Balance - Severing Consciousness and Seal!"
Snap!!
The core consciousness chain of the sealed formation exploded on the spot!
The entire [Abyss-Severing Master-Sealing Array] collapsed in an instant!
Duan Shi Mo Hui Zun's expression changed drastically:
"No! This is impossible—I locked the cause and severed the effect; how can you sever the chains I haven't yet broken!"
The Grand Venerable Mingxu responded coldly:
"Because it wasn't an attack designed to kill you."
"Why would you attack if you were meant to be killed?"
Click!
The "Soul Balance Ruler" severed the last broken chain, causing the natal sea of consciousness to collapse instantly!
Duan Shi Mo Hui Zun's entire right arm shattered, his soul collapsed, and he staggered back, not daring to form an array again!
The tide of battle turned suddenly.
-
On the other side, Lue Ming Ku Yuan Tu seized the opportunity to condense a great wheel of cursed bones, intending to cut off Ling Jingxi's path, but saw that she had already slowly stepped into the realm of [Realm Evolution Soul Flower]!
One flower blooms, ten abysses are overturned.
The first move appeared in her palm—
"Evolving Spirit: Flowers Fall into Ten Abysses"
Soul shadows are everywhere, illusory consciousness is extinguished.
Behind Ling Jingxi, the Realm Evolution Soul Flower quietly bloomed.
It was an unusual soul flower, shaped like an ice lotus and with a stamen like a mirror. As each petal gently unfolded, a layer of "Consciousness Soul Illusory Realm" quietly appeared.
When she uttered that whisper:
"Evolving Spirit: Flowers Fall into Ten Abysses"
Heaven and earth fell silent, and consciousness froze.
The Plunderer of the Withered Abyss suddenly realized that the "illusory realms" that emerged between the petals were not mere illusions—
Instead...
Ten different fates of death in different times and spaces, all ending with him!
The First Abyss: The Soul-Drowning Abyss, where he was torn apart by endless mirror images within his sunken sea of consciousness;
The second abyss: the Bone-Devouring Tomb, where his soul is devoured by all those he cursed to death in the past;
The third abyss: the Mirror-Breaking Realm, where the Fate Soul he personally extinguished returned one by one, severing his true self;
The sixth, seventh, eighth...
Every step he took represented the most terrifying possible outcome for his Fate Soul!
His body trembled violently, his soul surged wildly backward, he coughed up blood repeatedly, and roared in his delirium:
"No... this isn't real... I can't die here! It can't be!!"
Within the illusory realm, Ling Jingxi remained silent, only pointing to the heart of the fallen flower—
Thump!
The ninth abyss descended, named: the Consciousness Silence Wasteland.
That was a place of disillusionment where he couldn't even perceive "fear" itself, where fear couldn't touch him, and where even the thought of "knowing" of death no longer existed.
At that moment, his soul's trajectory began to disintegrate into fragments!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu narrowed his eyes slightly, witnessing this scene:
"She truly brought the first move of the Realm Evolution Soul Flower to its Ultimate."
As the tenth abyss vanished, the tenth flower slowly bloomed.
Ling Jingxi slightly opened her eyes, her voice cold and clear as the moon:
"The final abyss -- 'Flowers fall, soul ends'."
Click!
The innate curse seal of the Life-Plundering Abyss Disciple suddenly shattered, and his sea of consciousness completely collapsed!
He fell to the ground like a withered skeleton, his soul spells scattered like sand in the wind—he was not truly dead, but he was no longer himself.
He has been reconstructed by the illusion of "Ten Abysses and Ten Deaths" into a soul cursed body destined to be destroyed, and even "resistance" has been removed from the logic of his Fate Soul.
-
Ling Jingxi stood motionless amidst the sea of flowers.
She didn't use a killing move, but she had already determined that the enemy Does Not Exist of survival.
At this moment, Duan Shi Mo Hui Zun suddenly roared:
"She uses illusion to kill reality, severing your soul... and taking your life!!"
However, it was too late.
The Grand Venerable Mingxu pressed down with one palm.
"Soul Balance: Cause Splitting Sequencing."
Boom--!
The Plunderer of Life - The Desolate Abyss - utterly Annihilation!
Along with his "million cursed soldiers," more than half of his consciousness was scattered in the aftershocks of the Realm Evolution Soul Flower!
The tide of battle has turned dramatically!
At that very moment, beneath the distant sky, You Junhan's soft whisper drifted over:
You Junhan gazed at the battle scene, his breath low and deep, yet he showed no anger. Instead, he slowly said:
"Ten armies Soul Silence, half the force wiped out..."
"Mingxu, Lingxi... you truly deserve to be remembered."
His gaze shifted to the distant void, indifferent and chilling:
"So... in the next battle, will it be you, or Qin Yu, who will die first?"
You Junhan's words fell, deep within the Soul Ring Heavenly Abyss, the cold and aloof soul figure did not retreat as before. Instead, it slowly rose, pointing a finger horizontally and Soul Rend Abyss—
From within that rift, two figures emerged from the source of the black flames.
Firstly, his entire body was enveloped in thick, dark flames; he wore a gray crown and a tattered robe of shadowy light; his movements were silent, like an ancient soul emerging from a shattered shadow realm.
Ninth Judgment: Shadow Flame: Wu Huizi.
Its shadow does not touch the ground, its soul does not gather in its body, and with each step it takes, it leaves behind an invisible "soul shadow Realm Splitting," as if dozens of its own exist intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
Secondly, his entire body was wrapped in the mirror-like shattered soul seal, he wore the Mirror of Death on his head, and his face was both real and unreal; his aura was neither yin nor yang, and did not belong to the principles of life and death, as if it came from the reflection of the remnant soul just before the "extinction of the world".
The Tenth Judge: The Realm Nether, the Final Mirror of Yama.
Without uttering a word, he simply held up the "Silent Mirror Soul Core" sealed within his skull with both hands. With a slight tremor, the upper half of the sky in the entire Spirit Firmament Battlefield shattered into countless mirrors!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu remained unmoved, his ruler-like intent slowly rising horizontally, his consciousness covering millions of miles:
"Is this your final test... or the prelude to annihilation?"
Ling Jingxi slightly raised her head. She did not move, but the "Realm Evolution Soul Flower" behind her appeared first and quietly bloomed its three petals.
"The ninth and tenth judges... have they finally decided to fight side by side?"
Neither judge spoke, but the pressure of their souls crashed down!
A million-strong army of souls roared into battle, their soul-stirring tide sweeping across the frontier!
Meanwhile, on the Spirit Firmament side, Grand Venerable Mingxu shouted in a deep voice:
"The fighting spirit remains undiminished; let us once more fight in the Abyss of Judgment!"
Ling Jingxi stepped to the front of the battle formation, her sleeves fluttering, and a mirror and a flower slowly rotated behind her, their coldness washing over the world like moonlight, her soul breath blooming above the Limit consciousness.
This battle is no longer about stopping the enemy.
This battle will completely sever the path of "ruling souls and wielding power"!
The Lord of Mirror Souls and the Soul Master of Heavenly Balance stood side by side once again.
This battle marked the beginning of the second round of the Spirit Firmament counterattack.
Its opponent is the most secretive, most enigmatic, and most unseen "bipolar judgment":
[Shadowflame·Wu Huizi] -- Shadowflame devours consciousness, blurring the lines between reality and illusion;
[Realm Nether - End of the Mirror] -- Tracing back to the Mirror of Darkness, the soul is locked away.
Just as Grand Venerable Mingxu and Ling Jingxi were about to step onto the edge of the Judgment Array,
Above the cracks in the sky, a beam of light suddenly descended.
It was a cyan-gold soul mark, like a crack that had quietly opened up in the depths of the Nine Abyss, carrying with it the endless source of annihilation.
Suddenly, a cyan pill sealed with nine soul rings fell from the crack in the sky and passed in front of the two.
The Grand Venerable Mingxu twitched his brow and caught the pill with his palm. The soul-engraved mark on it read:
[Origin-Restoring Spirit - Ming Yuan Stabilizing Pearl].
Ling Jingxi also lightly raised her finger, and a petal of the mirror flower took another spirit pearl into her palm. The moment her fingertip lightly touched it, the entire soul energy meridian was quickly repaired, and the internal energy was instantly restored to more than 100%!
"Qin Yu..." she whispered, a ripple passing through the depths of her eyes.
The Grand Venerable Mingxu nodded in a low voice, withdrawing the Soul Balance Ruler's intent that was nearly shattered from his body:
"Lord of the Azure Ring, decisively provide support!"
They didn't ask any further questions, and the recovery was completed in an instant.
Meanwhile, Qin Yu, a thousand miles away on the front lines, stood in the void, his "Azure Ring Soul" trembling slightly. He turned around, gazing at the unusual movements of the soul army deeper in the distance, and murmured to himself:
"You two, block these two tailors."
"I will decide the fate of our rear."
He didn't actually do anything, but his mere thought of helping was enough to reignite the Silent Origin.
The Spirit Firmament Battle Formation heated up once again in that instant!
The battle of souls began, without thunder, but with the sorrow of all beings!
Black flames arrived first.
[Shadow Flame Wu Huizi] stretched out his right palm, his five fingers like hooks, and fiercely tore open the void. A "Shadow Flame Soul-Piercing Realm" that spanned thousands of miles suddenly tore through space, as if a gate to the Shadow Realm was slowly opening!
That wasn't fire—that was pure "burn marks" from the soul!
Within the shadowy flames, hundreds of soul shadows emerged from behind him, each resembling him yet not entirely, half real and half illusory, like "pseudo-bodies of obsession" stripped of their consciousness.
These soul shadows instantly traced a hundred paths, each attacking the Consciousness Realm surrounding the Grand Venerable Mingxu. Each path contained pseudo-soul explosion runes; if one were not a cultivator of the Silent Origin, touching them for even a moment would surely shatter one's soul!
The "Soul Balance Ruler" in the hand of the Grand Venerable Mingxu suddenly shattered, and a blue-green ruler imprint fell from the sky.
"[Hengpo·Ninefold Seal]."
Under the Soul Ruler's suppression, nine layers of heavy sealing light forcibly suppressed those soul shadows into the void!
But at the moment the shadow flames exploded, Wu Huizi's true form had already quietly entered the realm in an instant, suddenly appearing behind the Grand Venerable Mingxu.
"You... are too upright."
Wu Huizi's voice was like a blade that Realm Breaking. As soon as he finished speaking, his five fingers, scorching with soul-sealing flames, grabbed straight at the Soul Sea behind Mingxu!
--
Meanwhile, Ling Jingxi was also not at peace.
[Realm Nether ·Mojing Yan] did not speak, but as he raised his hand, a shattered mirror detached from his brow and suddenly broke into a thousand pieces!
In each mirror, a "she" emerges—
It is her past self, her future self, her obsessions, her fears, her doubts... The magic of the Mirror Realm reflects the abyss of Fate Soul!
This is the [Nine Questions of the Soul Mirror], one of the original source laws from the "Realm Nether Mirror".
Ling Jingxi's eyes darkened slightly, and she remained silent, the Mirror Moon Spirit Ring behind her gleaming like water.
"[The Dawn Realm Heart Reflection]."
A halo of light pierced through a thousand mirrors, swallowing all the illusory shadows constructed from obsession into its own "Dawn Realm Illusory Domain."
The next moment, she waved her hand like a flowing ice mirror, piercing through the air with a single move:
"[Cold Light Reaches the Abyss]."
In that instant, 93,000 beams of aurora sword light shot out from the countless mirror cracks, all piercing towards the soul core area of Realm Nether ·Mojingyan!
Boom--!
The battle erupted instantly!
Meanwhile, the Grand Venerable Mingxu remained unharmed. With a single palm strike, he countered the Shadow Flame Sealing Claw, tearing a gap in the Shadow Realm Soul Piercing Blade like a horizontal sword, and roared:
You are unworthy of the name Shadowflame!
Shadow Flame Wu Huizi's figure flashed, a cold smile playing on his lips:
"... But you deserve to die beneath it."
Dual-domain misidentification, Soul Chain Devouring Abyss
This is not a battle in the ordinary sense.
Rather, it is a clash between two misaligned realms of soul consciousness.
When [Shadow Flame·Wu Huizi] and [Realm Nether ·End Mirror Yan] simultaneously activated their Fate Soul domains, in that instant, all time, space, perception, and even the "continuity of existence" on the battlefield began to be reorganized!
The first to appear was [Shadowflame Wu Huizi].
He spread his arms wide, his fingers cracking between his palms, and soul flames coiled into chains—
[Shadow Soul Lock: Flame Abyss Devouring Chain]!
This is not a soul chain, but a chain imprisoning the "main soul" by the "self in the shadow world". Each link of the chain is a memory of a past time when he was "Annihilation" and "returned".
The Soul Chain lashed out, instantly pulling the Grand Venerable Mingxu into a sealed world called [Shadow Abyss Soul Prison]!
It was a desolate wasteland devoid of light, surrounded by molten lava rivers formed from fragmented Spiritual Sense. The Grand Venerable Mingxu felt an unprecedented "soul pressure freezing" here.
"Locking one soul, shattering nine consciousnesses... your fighting spirit, beneath my chains, is but a lingering echo of obsession."
Wu Huizi said coldly, his shadow flames swirling around the entire space of consciousness, while the soul fires in all directions howled and moved.
But the Grand Venerable Mingxu's gaze remained unmoved. His palms slowly formed a seal, and suddenly the "Nine Judgment Seals" appeared above his sea of consciousness. This was one of the divine techniques he had not used in the previous battle.
[Nine Balances - Mirror Realm of Extinction of Consciousness].
One by one, the marks of the judges burst forth from his soul domain, forcibly pulling the entire "Shadow Soul Lock Realm" back to reality!
Accompanied by his shout--
"The Mirror Soul is immortal, the Flame Lock is unyielding!"
The entire soul chain was snapped in two, the shadow flames returned, and a burst of soul energy exploded in front of Wu Huizi's chest!
Meanwhile, Ling Jingxi was also caught in another twisted confrontation.
[Realm Nether ·Mo Jing Yan] Empty Grasp with both hands, actually constructing an invisible mirror platform in the air. As he murmured:
"[Mirror Extreme: Thousand Dreams Rift Wheel]."
The surroundings were like a mirror within a mirror, reflecting repeatedly, dragging Ling Jingxi's soul into a world of "mirror dream reversal"!
Within this mirror, Ling Jingxi saw a thousand possible endings—
She was defeated, she fell from grace, she was forgotten by Qin Ning, her soul was sealed by the Realm Nether, and she perished as a flower spirit in the mirror...
These thousand possible outcomes constantly tore at her will!
The voice of the Realm Nether Mirror Yama was like the resounding tolling of a soul-shaking bell.
If the heart is not at peace, the body will eventually crumble.
But— Ling Jingxi quietly closed her eyes, then opened them the next moment:
"Then you should see clearly what..."
"The Silent Mirror Soul Bloom."
She suddenly unleashed her Soul Mirror innate skill:
[Mirror Silk Realm Seal].
The Mirror Flower Wheel opened and closed in an instant, and a "Silk Mirror" shot out, reflecting all of the thousand layers of mirror dreams!
Hiss--
The Myriad Dream Mirror shattered, causing the Realm Nether Mirror Lord Yan to tremble. He stumbled for the first time, his consciousness momentarily halting!
The two of them reversed the pressure of their respective domains!
But this attack was merely a preliminary exploration.
In the distance, the Soul Army's lines began to advance, and the roar of the Soul Tide swept across the land.
The Grand Venerable Mingxu stabilized the battle formation and transmitted his voice, shouting:
"Lingxi, the soul pressure has temporarily blocked your advance. May you continue?"
Ling Jingxi nodded slightly, and the Mirror Moon Wheel rose again, the Realm Evolution Soul Flower quietly opening its second petal.
She hasn't acted yet.
But the tide of battle had already turned in her favor.
Soul pressures intertwined, consciousness was in disarray. The sky above the battlefield seemed to be split into a rift between two different eras of the Soul Realm!
The shadow flames have not yet dissipated, and the mirror domain has not yet been closed.
At this moment, Grand Venerable Mingxu and Ling Jingxi have entered their respective second round of soul pressure counterattack battles!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu's sea of consciousness trembled, and the Soul Balance Ruler slowly rose. On the tip of the ruler, a phantom mark quietly appeared, a technique of sequence that he rarely used:
[Soul Balance ·Judgment Samadhi]
At that moment, the entire line of spiritual consciousness between heaven and earth seemed to be straightened by him by a foot.
Shadow Flame Wu Huizi rose into the air, only to discover that his "Shadow Soul Split" had been cut in half!
"Your fragmented soul has exceeded the limits of your Fate Soul."
A cold, Mingxu out, a foot-long horizontal cleavage splitting the surface, creating three distinct cracks:
The first mark, the beginning of the split in consciousness;
The second mark signifies a broken soul;
The third mark, the essence of annihilation!
Shadow Flame Wu Huizi's gaze finally sharpened.
"... You really are able to suppress half of my soul magic."
He chuckled coldly, then suddenly tore off his own Shadow Soul's right shoulder with a single palm strike.
The severed arm transformed into a ball of burning flames, which imprinted itself into the air, forming an ancient seal.
[Shadowflame - Cinder Origin Extinguishing Devour Seal]!
In an instant, the sky cracked open, and the entire Soul Void was transformed into the "Eternal Flame Soul Pool"!
This seal can forcibly burn the opponent's consciousness to the source of their soul, preventing them from even transcending the origin!
The moment the Grand Venerable Mingxu sensed the flame seal descending, his soul light dimmed abruptly, and even his Spiritual Sense senses became slightly distorted.
He bit his tongue, a drop of blood spilling onto the blade, which suddenly swept across:
"The Law of Balance: A Single Foot Determines the Soul's Fate!"
Boom!!
A crack appeared in the sky, and the Shadow Flame Soul Pool was forcibly ripped open, the Soul Tribulation Ruler striking towards Shadow Flame Wu Huizi's head.
---At the same time, Ling Jingxi has already unleashed the second technique of "Realm Evolution Soul Flower"!
She stood still amidst the mirrored flowers, her five fingers outstretched, drawing ten thin lines in the air:
[Tracing Boundaries: Reflecting Flowers and Asking Questions]
At this moment, she reflected the entire trajectory of [Realm Nether - End of the Mirror]'s soul mirror into the Mirror Flower Wheel!
The next second, the mirror burst open, transforming her past obsessions, regrets, desires, murderous intent, and attempts to escape into ten layers of mirror questions!
"Realm Nether, End of the Mirror, your Mirror Soul power originates from 'unwillingness to be spied upon,' but I ask you, 'Why do you exist?'"
--
The mirror wheel spun, and suddenly reflected:
The first question in the mirror stripped away his false Soul Name as "Realm Nether";
The second mirror question reflects his past acts of annihilation, where he manipulated thousands of souls to destroy villages.
The third mirror reflects his projection of betraying the main soul during the Annihilation Era...
The body of Realm Nether Mojingyan began to tremble under the reflection of the Soul Mirror!
"You... you actually managed to glimpse... the origin of the soul?"
Ling Jingxi closed her eyes:
"The mirror does not inquire into cause and effect, nor does the soul shy away from the question of silence."
Behind her, the [Mirror Silk Realm Seal] unfolded once more, with a thousand mirrors focusing on the core of one mirror!
Realm Nether Mojingyan finally flew into a rage, and the Soul Mirror above his head shattered:
"Then let me send you into my Source Mirror—"
[Silent Realm: Ten Thousand Mirrors Divergent Soul Formation]!
He raised his hand and waved it, and ten thousand shattered mirrors rose between heaven and earth, each containing a "her who has been Annihilation"!
Ten thousand Ling Jingxi shimmering light roared and intertwined.
If you are trapped inside, your soul and true nature will be permanently erased, and you will lose the fundamental understanding of "who I am"!
Ling Jingxi did not retreat, and the third petal of the Soul Flower swayed gently.
Her gaze turned cold:
"You want to break my Flower's End?"
She had already decided to kill him.
Beneath the mirror's light, the annihilation of the soul is about to begin.
Heaven and earth are no longer clearly distinguishable.
Soul Flame, Soul Mirror, Balance Consciousness, and Mirror Flower—four realms torn and intertwined, converging into a soul-consciousness battlefield that could be described as apocalypse!
At this moment, it was not just a battle of soul skills, but a clash of wills between four beings at the Silent Origin level.
Grand Venerable Mingxu vs. Shadow Flame Wu Huizi
The Grand Venerable Mingxu wielded the "Soul Balance Ruler" to forcibly establish a break in the "Soul Flame Piercing Consciousness Realm," but the opponent's "Cinder Origin Extinguishing Devour Seal" swiftly suppressed it in mid-air.
As the flames descended, wisps of soul-burning fire followed the threads of the void, devouring everything in their path!
That is the fire of "Soul Recollection Self-Immolation", which can cause the cultivator to spontaneously ignite every trace of Soul Arts that has ever been used in their soul consciousness, burning all the combat skills they have ever used to ashes!
This not only burns the opponent's soul skill memories, but also severs their "advancement path".
The Grand Venerable Mingxu's eyes turned cold, and the azure light on the Soul Balance Ruler suddenly turned black!
"[Soul Balance: The Final Seal Return to the Abyss]!"
A sealing seal, Limit of Realm Master, stretched across the entire battle sky!
The Ember Flame Seal was forcibly suppressed to a distance of three feet, unable to advance an inch!
But at that very moment, Shadow Flame Wu Huizi coldly whispered:
You can indeed control my soul... but you cannot control my heart.
His Soul Sea suddenly surged, and a wisp of blood soul burned. What he was burning was not his own soul skill, but the "trajectory of the next five hundred attacks"!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu felt a tremor in his soul domain, as if his "battle technique after five hundred moves" had been burned alive by this person!
"What... what kind of soul technique is this?"
"[Flame Breath - Severing the Cycle]."
Shadow Flame Whisper:
Your soul's journey will cease hereafter.
The Grand Venerable Mingxu froze, his sea of consciousness trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood!
The soul flames seeped into his body, and although he wasn't defeated, he was already injured!
Ling Jingxi vs. Realm Nether ·Mojingyan
The "Ten Thousand Mirrors Divergent Soul Formation" was fully deployed, and an alternate version of Ling Jingxi appeared in each shattered mirror, sometimes resentful, sometimes crying, sometimes cold, sometimes laughing—all were the remnants of her original soul that had been suppressed in the past!
These phantoms all opened their mouths:
"You shouldn't exist."
You are destined to lose Qin Yu.
You will be defeated by your reflection in the mirror.
Realm Nether Mojingyan chuckled coldly:
"[Soul Realm Rending Wheel] is my ultimate realm. If you succumb to it even for a moment, your entire being will be shattered."
But at this moment, Ling Jingxi slowly raised her hand.
The Mirror Moon Spirit Ring coalesced once more, representing her most essential power.
She whispered four words:
I will not succumb.
In an instant, the third petal of the Soul Flower slowly bloomed!
[The Wheel of Silence, the Flower Never Reaches Its End]
The still light floats, and all mirrors are turned upside down.
In that instant, Realm Nether Mojingyan saw a "future that never existed" appear in the mirror.
That was when he should have Annihilation, instead of straying down each of the paths he's taken today—
Mirror Flower sealed all these causes and effects, reflecting them as a wisp of severed causal soul thread, which tightly wrapped around his Fate Soul imprint!
You have invaded my soul with your mirror.
"Then I will use my mirror to destroy your source."
Ling Jingxi spoke calmly, then closed her mirror-like eyes.
"[The Flower Never Reaches Its End the First Appearance]!"
Realm Nether Mojing Yan suddenly spat out a mouthful of soul blood, and the soul mirrors all over his body began to shatter!
He roared and unleashed his final resistance, sending the fragments of the Myriad Mirrors flying back towards Ling Jingxi!
Ling Jingxi flashed, and the Mirror Silk Realm Seal behind her opened, blocking all the shattered mirrors from "being outside her life consciousness".
The illusion of flowers in a mirror never faded!
The dual-judgment system has pushed back the opponent's power by 30%!
Despite his injuries, the Grand Venerable Mingxu remained standing in mid-air; Ling Jingxi's hair was slightly disheveled, but her eyes grew even colder.
The million-strong Soul Army and Spirit Firmament disciples below, gazing up at this battle, were all trembling with awe!
In this section, both sides were injured, yet neither retreated.
The Battle of Silent Origin is far from over.
The embers of flame had not yet died down, and the mirrored flowers had not yet faded. The Soul Void Battle Line was like Realm Splitting abyss, and the two Silent Origin trajectories of the Desolate Origin were slowly approaching the point of rupture.
Although the Grand Venerable Mingxu and Ling Jingxi were under immense pressure, their soul intent remained undiminished, and a layer of soul light that surpassed ordinary Silent Origin Qi emanated from each of them.
This section is a contest of power, and also a resistance of beliefs.
The shadow flames on Shadow Flame Wu Huizi's body intensified. He successfully forced Mingxu to halt his soul consciousness by sacrificing five hundred of his future trajectories with his soul fire. However, he knew that the Burning Tribulation technique alone was not enough to defeat this Soul Balance Master.
"The Soul Balance... too, has an end."
He whispered, a deeper flame trail appearing at his fingertips:
[Flame Calamity - Four-Track Burial Seal]
This move doesn't burn the future, but rather the "possibilities" within the opponent's soul.
The Grand Venerable Mingxu felt certain "deductive chains" within his sea of consciousness beginning to break. These chains represented the possibilities of each attempt at a stronger soul technique, the direction of each advancement in soul refining, seemingly being gradually sealed off amidst the burning...
"You... are burning my future soul transformation?"
Yingyan sneered:
From now on, your power will only remain at the level of this moment.
Soul flames soared into the sky.
But at that moment, a ray of blue light suddenly appeared in Mingxu's eyes, and a wisp of soul power slowly awakened from the depths of his body!
"Since you have burned my future, I will use the present to quell all your flames."
He slowly raised the Soul Balance Ruler, and the Soul Sealing Seal emerged from the end of the ruler:
[Hengji - Soul Breaks the Balance]!
A mere foot of space stretched out, transforming into a swirling star trail that blocked all the trails of the fiery burial, forcibly creating a path of absolute stillness in the void!
Shadow Flame's soul trajectory was frozen for a moment!
This is the Soul Balance —steadfast in one thought, undaunted by a thousand paths!
For the first time, Shadowflame Wu Huizi showed a brief pause; his soul flame trembled under the power of Jiheng.
At this moment, Ling Jingxi stood at the core of the Realm Nether · End Mirror Yama Array.
The flower in the mirror trembled slightly, but the third petal Flower's End did not fully open, and the power of the final cycle of cause and effect had to be activated again.
But Realm Nether did not give up. He shook off the Mirror Silk Realm Seal with a single palm strike, and a look of madness suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Now that you have glimpsed my true soul, you will see my final form."
He suddenly tore open his sea of consciousness and forcibly pulled out his own Mirror of Fate Soul!
It was a half-damaged ancient mirror, on which was inscribed a passage of text written in reverse:
[Mirror of Darkness: Return to the Realm Wheel Recognition]
He tossed the Mirror Soul into the sky!
The mirror shattered, and a thousand torrents of reverse consciousness simultaneously surged towards Ling Jingxi!
For a fleeting moment, her consciousness seemed to encounter a "failure scenario from hundreds of future timelines" --
She died in battle in front of Qin Yu;
She never awakened Aya's Mirror;
She sealed herself away in the Mirror Realm...
Every future is one of defeat, despair, and loneliness!
"This is your burial ground."
Realm Nether coughed up blood, but sneered.
How can you withstand all the failures of the future?
But the next moment, Ling Jingxi slowly raised her eyes and quietly looked at the hundreds of mirrored scenes.
What the future holds is never up to you.
She stepped into the flower shadows, and ten fingers of her soul-stirring flowers bloomed in profusion.
"The path I have chosen leads to your Annihilation."
[The Flower Never Reaches Its End - Double Rings]!
The mirror flower blooms again, and all causes Return to One.
She buried the future in a thousand mirrors, binding them all within the shadows of flowers, forcibly transforming all the "illusory inevitability" into "a moment of nothingness"!
A flower obscures the mirror, Realm Nether ·Mojing Yan suddenly feels his soul being drained, staggering backward!
The battle situation is critical!
Both judges are already weakened; if they don't receive help now, they will surely be defeated!
However, Ling Jingxi's aura was also unstable, and her soul power was surging.
Her awakening is still a hair's breadth away.
The Soul Domain crumbled, the Flame Mirror shattered, and the battle plunged into an abyss of no return.
This is no longer a trial by fire; it is a battle of souls and lives, burning away all knowledge and striving for true solitude!
In this section, the Grand Venerable Mingxu unleashes the "Soul-Weighing Forbidden Seal," completely severing the path of Shadow Flame and Wu Huizi's Burning Track.
Ling Jingxi then used the momentum of the three half-bloomed petals of the Soul Flower to condense the "Ten Thousand Mirrors Soul-Sealing Diagram," completely sealing off the "Final Mirror Realm" of Realm Nether ·Mojingyan. The Soul of the Mingxu has already stepped onto the Absolute Balance.
He stood in the abyss, one-third of his soul veins burning, condensing into a "Ruler Soul Origin Seal" that was entirely dark blue and engraved with the six Soul Seal imprints.
"Since you have blocked my path with flames..."
His breath was like thunder, and as his soul patterns surged, he stepped into the enemy's Flame Realm.
"Then I will use my Soul Balance to suppress your original flame!"
[Soul Balance Final Seal - Six Balance Locking Breath Array]!
Boom!
The blade of light touched the ground, and the entire void seemed to freeze!
The six Soul Seal were arranged in a perfect circle, locking each other at the beginning and end, forcibly freezing the Shadow Flame Wu Huizi's original soul flame domain—"The Tribulation Trajectory Soul Realm"!
In that instant, the Shadow Flame's power spiraled out of control!
His sea of spiritual energy was "fixed" into a static state, and every trace of his energy could no longer move!
He roared in anger:
"You dare to seal my true flame!?"
The Grand Venerable Mingxu responded coldly:
"The balance of the Silent Origin never asks whether one dares or not."
"Only ask whether it's appropriate or not."
Within his soul consciousness array, the Six Soul Seal pressed down and began to seize the memories of the other party's Flame Track, converting them for his own use!
This is precisely the forbidden secret technique of the Mingxu – using the Soul Balancing Technique to reverse the enemy's trajectory. Once it is formed, Shadow Flame Wu Huizi will completely lose the qualification to use the Flame Trajectory Soul Arts!
However, this is also Limit secret technique; once it is broken, the Mingxu Soul Root will be severely injured!
Shadow Flame Wu Huizi's eyes were ferocious, and a Shadow Flame Twin Core slowly emerged from the depths of his Soul Domain—the two segments of his Fate Soul imprint that he had initially sealed away.
"Consciousness-Burning Seal" and "Shadow Soul Seal"!
He whispered:
"Since you intend to destroy my Soul Track... then let's see... whether you can withstand it..."
"With this one thought... both souls departed into oblivion!"
He was actually going to detonate all his Soul Seal and forcefully break through the Hengxi Sealing Boundary!
Flames roared and soared, comparable to the collapse of the true realm!
On the other side, Ling Jingxi held the Mirror Moon Spirit Ring and stood at the center of the "Hundred Soul Mirror Wheels" array. Countless mirrors around her whistled and spun, each reflecting a certain aspect of Realm Nether's soul.
She has unfolded the three petals of the Mirror Flower to its Limit, and is attempting to seal off the root cause of the "Ten Thousand Mirrors Final Ring" of the final mirror of Yan.
Your mirror... is not unbreakable.
She spoke in a cold voice, her tone revealing a calmness and transcendence that came from within her very soul.
The Mirror Moon Spirit Ring trembled, and a complete soul diagram appeared behind her. It was the Ultimate recognition totem she had constructed after fusing with the Realm Evolution Soul Flower:
[Mirror Flower Reflecting Soul - Map of the Abyss]
For the first time, Realm Nether's face showed shock.
"You actually created a World Soul Image? You, the Realm Master... are not a Transcendent Being, you are..."
"You are the successor to the Lord of Realm Evolution...?"
Ling Jingxi remained silent, but the Mirror Flower Diagram had already activated, sealing off the ninth-level image of her Soul Realm.
She pointed her finger, and the mirror image spun, releasing three beams of light simultaneously:
The First Light: Illuminates the Abyss You Have Never Known;
The Second Light: A Mirror that Seals Your Realm of the Consciousness Realm;
The Third Light: Sever the Lock on Your Soul!
"Your Soul Mirror power ends here."
"Realm Mirror: Three Locks Sever Consciousness!"
Realm Nether ·Mojingyan frantically resisted, desperately releasing all the Mirror Soul Suppression Diagrams, but under the rotation of the flower diagram, it was peeled away inch by inch!
Suddenly, cracks appeared on a "Realm Nether Mirror Embryo" behind him.
That was the root of his natal mirror soul!
"No... you cannot sever my Mirror Soul!"
Ling Jingxi closed her eyes and sighed softly:
Your mirror has never reflected yourself.
Cut down the flower pattern!
"Bang--!!!"
Realm Nether Mojingyan was pierced through his Fate Soul seal by a single image of soul pressure, and his soul consciousness was forcibly sealed by 70%!
His combat strength has already fallen below the peak of the Realm Master!
As Ling Jingxi's inner petals vibrated at the moment the diagram bloomed, the fourth petal, the petal of light and shadow, quietly began to appear!
That was... the initial sign of the Silent Origin energy!
She's just one step away from a breakthrough!
At this very moment, countless souls wept in the vast sky, and the oppressive flames seemed to overturn an impenetrable barrier.
Within the Hundred Wheels of Mirror Souls, light and shadow swirled, and the Mirror Flower Array slowly rotated amidst the intermingling of countless soul breaths.
This section is the full echo of the Mirror of Fate, and also the life-or-death duel of the deepest soul flames.
In the instant the Flame Track was completely destroyed, Shadow Flame Wu Huizi finally stepped out of the last forbidden path.
His two Fate Soul seals, the "Consciousness-Burning Seal" and the "Shadow Soul Seal," exploded simultaneously. In an instant, the world changed color, and the entire soul void seemed to transform into two collapsing soul flame divine towers!
"Since your righteous spirit intends to sever my path..."
"Then I will burn this sky—to be buried with your soul!!"
He roared and summoned his final soul skill:
[Dual-Core Incineration - Severed Boundaries Reflecting Ashes]!
Boom!!!
The entire battle zone trembled violently as the dual-seal soul power gathered from the Shadow Flame Core surged forth, transforming into countless layers of soul fire orbits, as if a section of the Consciousness Realm had been torn apart, forcibly devouring the Grand Venerable Mingxu!
These flame trails do not attack the opponent's physical body, but rather burn away all the "soul magic structure" within its consciousness and life trajectory!
If completely incinerated, Mingxu will be unable to use any more soul skills!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu closed his eyes and concentrated, Soul Balance Ruler in his hand transformed into a phantom light, merging into the center of his sea of consciousness.
He said softly:
"The spirit of balance Final Seal, not merely for balance..."
He slowly raised his hand, and a soul image radiating an Ultimate deep blue light rose slowly behind him.
It was a circular Soul Seal totem, with a sixth-order Soul Balance core engraved on it, as if it had frozen the cause and effect, soul path, and order of countless worlds onto a single line.
[Soul Balance - Six Seal Diagram Ring - Boundary Restoration]
He pasted the entire soul diagram backwards into his Soul Sea!
At this moment, the Soul Realm roared!
Boom--!!
Shadow Flame Wu Huizi's Burning Track Soul Skill shattered completely as it approached the Tu Huan!
--
The Six-Seal Ring possesses the ability to "Stop Track and Cut Off Breath", which can forcibly sever any "non-current" trajectory of the enemy.
The "Future Trajectory-Burning Art" used by Shadow Flame Wu Huizi is essentially based on the future, and this soul skill is precisely his only fatal calamity!
"Your flame has transformed from emptiness to reality."
"And I, at this moment—you have no future to burn."
With a furious roar, Shadow Flame Wu Huizi's soul flames collapsed, and the Consciousness-Burning Seal in his sea of consciousness was completely annihilated!
He was forcibly sucked into the entire Soul Balance Diagram Ring and sealed into the "Breath-Weighing Abyss"!
--defeat!
At this moment, Ling Jingxi's fourth petal of the mirror flower behind her slightly opened, and her aura was quietly changing.
The charm of Silent Origin has quietly taken root.
Meanwhile, the opposing Realm Nether ·Mo Jing Yan, knowing that he could no longer suppress his opponent in terms of soul power, simply used the **"Final Mirror Soul Realm ** to forcibly create a complete full-domain Soul Reflection Reincarnation.
"Since you want to seal my Mirror Soul, then I'll make you die within a myriad of mirrors!"
He roared and lifted an ancient mirror of the underworld.
The mirror was entirely dark, and the inscription on its back read:
[The Last Mirror Reflects the Return to Silent Wheel]
Once this mirror appears, it can unfold the "Abyss of Fate Soul Reflection in Abyss of Ten Thousand Mirrors".
Beneath the Mirror Realm, every soul will see itself—the worst mistakes it has ever made, the people it abandoned, the thoughts of killing, and the regrets that cannot be undone.
These "mental images" will all transform into real damage, backfiring on the user's soul!
At this moment, Ling Jingxi saw the following:
She witnessed the destruction of her sect when she was young and was powerless to stop it;
She once abandoned her spiritual practice, merely to prolong her remaining life;
She nearly died from the collapse of her internalized Mirror Soul, only surviving thanks to Qin Ning's gift of her soul...
Each scene is like a fragment of Fate Soul.
This is the weakest part of your soul.
I'm just letting you take notice of yourself.
Realm Nether sneered and urged Mirror Abyss to suppress everything.
But Ling Jingxi's eyes remained completely unmoved.
"It's not that I'm without regret, nor that I'm without pain."
She quietly raised the Mirror Moon Spirit Ring, the Soul Flower swirling behind her.
But those things... have made me who I am today.
The mirror in her hand flipped, the soul diagram spun, and she suddenly roared:
[Mirror Silk Realm Seal - Dawn Realm Heart Reflection]!
The Abyss of Ten Thousand Mirrors transformed into a single line of sealed light, forcefully reflecting the errors of all the Mirror Wheel!
The mirror image merged, as if pressing Realm Nether's consciousness into the "Mirror-Sealing Prison"!
If all you know is my memory of yesterday...
"Then today I will sever your Mirror Soul!"
"Click--!!"
Cracks appeared in the natal mirror soul behind Realm Nether Mojingyan.
Ling Jingxi has entered the winning phase!
Her fourth petal of the mirror flower fully bloomed, and the aura of the Silent Origin was released with a roar!
Her Fate Soul structure began to transform, signifying that her Silent Origin Steps were being established!
The Other Shore Soul Diagram is shattered, and the Abyss of the Final Mirror is broken. The Soul-Balancing Diagram Ring seals the Flame Core, and Shadow Flame Wu Huizi has fallen into the silent abyss.
And that most crucial transformation—quietly took shape in this desolate, deep realm.
Ling Jingxi, the Silent Origin, begins to awaken!
Shadow Flame Wu Huizi was sealed within the "Breath-Weighing Abyss," his soul flame extinguished and his orbit permanently sealed, making it impossible for him to ever recover.
But just before the Soul-Balancing Diagram Ring completely closed, a barely perceptible trail of black flame quietly escaped from between his brows, seemingly some kind of extreme soul-sealing artifact.
The Grand Venerable Mingxu's eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself:
"This isn't his... it's You Junhan sealed a Soul Explosion Reverse Cause within his consciousness?"
Just as it was about to sever the flames, the black flames suddenly burst into flames!
Boom--!!
Before the Grand Venerable Mingxu could completely suppress it, his soul was shaken by the black flames, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
However, he still forcibly bound the Soul-Balancing Diagram Ring into a "Realm Soul Sealing Ring," completely sealing the Shadow Flame Core and throwing it into the bottom of the Soul Sealing Abyss.
In that instant, his face turned pale, and his aura weakened considerably.
Despite winning the battle, the Grand Venerable Mingxu suffered his first soul injury!
The Silent Origin energy finally coalesced in the deepest part of her soul.
After the fourth petal of the mirror flower fully bloomed, its soul diagram structure began to evolve on its own, exhibiting the extremely rare phenomenon of a "Mirror Realm Turning Wheel."
"The Soul Seal no longer seals the enemy, but begins to reflect... myself."
She saw in her soul mirror an image that resembled her as a child, as lonely, and as enduring humiliation to survive...
The figure did not falter or weep—instead, it nodded to her and gave her a relieved smile.
"Thank you for letting me live the life I am today."
Suddenly Mirror Moon Spirit Ring began to rotate, and the entire Mirror Soul Space was as if it were being scorched by silent fire, beginning the Soul Domain Shedding Process!
Realm Nether, the final mirror, sensed the drastic change and frantically unleashed a final wave of mirror energy, attempting to shatter Ling Jingxi's soul ascension process.
"No!! You haven't even become Silent Origin yet, what right do you have to suppress my Mirror Soul!"
The Ultimate light wave erupted from the mirror tire behind him:
[The Final Mirror Realm Severance - The Mirror's Origin Has No Return]!
Once this technique is used, the Mirror Soul Space is pulled into a state of "Silent Mirror Out of Control". Any soul within this space will be trapped in countless mirrors - forever unable to know or understand itself!
But Ling Jingxi's eyes showed no fear, instead remaining deep and clear like a mirror after a snowfall.
She stepped into the mirror's heart, and a finger touched the ground:
"The beginning of the Silent Origin was... no longer fearing oneself."
The five petals of the Mirror Soul Flower Wheel bloom together!
[Silent Ring - First Round Soul Map - Beginning of the Realm]!
Five petals bloom in a ring, a picture soaring into the sky!
The "Final Mirror Realm Severance" was locked back into the first Soul Source Fragment of the Mirror Diagram!
Realm Nether ·Mojing Yan was terrified and tried to escape, but the flower pattern spun, and a soul lock completely froze him.
"Click--!!!"
His natal mirror image shattered completely in the reflection of the mirror!
--
[Silent Source Realm, Second Tier]!
Ling Jingxi has successfully broken through to the next level, her soul energy soaring beyond the Realm Master!
Her figure slowly stood at the center of the Soul Diagram, surrounded by countless mirrors and surging with soul sounds.
She gazed at Realm Nether and said calmly:
"Your mirror..."
"From this day forward, his name will be forgotten."
Realm Nether ·Mojingyan, defeated!
His fragment of soul core was sealed by Ling Jingxi into the ninth petal of "Mirror Flower Wheel Inquiry" as one of the reflections of his own soul consciousness tempering.
Behind Ling Jingxi, the outline of the sixth petal of the mirror flower had already appeared!
Silent Origin's advancement will not stop!
Two fragmented souls floated in the air, a million-strong soul army retreated, the surrounding wilderness Silent Void, and in the sky, only a mirror, a soul, a ring, and a shadow that transcended the Realm Master remained.
--
[Shadow Flame - Wu Huizi - Soul Breaking and Burning Life]
Although Shadow Flame Wu Huizi was sealed into the bottom of the Soul Abyss by the Soul-Balancing Diagram Ring, the power of You Junhan was still lingering.
When the Grand Venerable Mingxu's soul injury was at its weakest, the last "Reverse Soul Flame Pearl" within his body unexpectedly exploded, releasing a wisp of gray flame remnant of his original soul.
This afterimage had no consciousness; it was merely the pure annihilation instinct released after a seal self-destructed, like a frenzied beast, lunging towards the Mingxu!
--
The Grand Venerable Mingxu frowned. Although his injuries had not yet healed, his soul consciousness remained stable.
He raised his hand and formed a seal, a rare soul technique condensing in his sea of consciousness:
[Soul Balance Ruler Style - Annihilation]
This was a seal that had never appeared in his hands before. It merely severed the remnants of consciousness, yet it resonated with the power of all the balance and soul diagrams in the world!
Sizzle!!
The shadow of gray flame vanished silently the moment his hand touched the ground!
Shadow Flame Wu Huizi's true form has been completely Annihilation.

Realm Nether, End of the Mirror, Shattered Abyss of Ten Thousand Mirrors
In Realm Nether ninth chapter, Jieming Mojingyan was sealed into the "Mirror Flower Wheel Inquiry" by Ling Jingxi. Although his soul consciousness was annihilated, his soul body still remained in the void, teetering on the verge of collapse.
Ling Jingxi walked slowly, surrounded by a six-petaled soul flower, with the power of the Mirror Heart surging behind her.
She whispered:
"If the soul is misreflected, the mirror will also be without reflection."
"Your name should never exist again."
She reached out and gently stroked the Silk Mirror Spirit Ring, and the Realm Mirror Heart, which served as her natal Fate Soul, rippled with icy blue light.
Then she uttered her final words:
"The wheel of life is still, the Flower Never Reaches Its End."
This is both a skill name and a judgment.
The Mirror Soul shifted to its sixth petal, Realm Nether Mirror's Soul Body was instantly frozen into an ice mirror shape, followed by a "crack"—
The "Mirror Soul Fragments," reduced to dust, dissipated in the air, along with all traces of their existence!
--[Ten Spirit-Extinguishing Judicators - Tenth Judgment] Realm Nether - Final Mirror Yama, completely erase!
Million Soul Army - The End of Annihilation
At this moment, there is no longer a commander-in-chief in the sky.
The million-strong soul army lost their soul-leading seals, and their soul consciousness fell into complete chaos.
Some scattered and fled, some howled in place, and some went into a frenzy...
Ling Jingxi did not make a move to reap the rewards; she stood quietly in the air, looking towards the Mingxu.
Mingxu smiled slightly and said:
"You don't need to bother with these remnant souls."
"We cultivators of balance are most skilled at sealing off others."
He activated his Soul Seal, projecting his own Soul Sea onto the world, summoning the Soul Sealing Network to construct a comprehensive network of consciousness sealing.
[Hengjie·Fenglu Soul Shackle]!
As the net descended, the million-strong soul army was utterly trapped in a state of Consciousnessless stillness, as if bound by the chains of the soul law. In an instant—
Complete silence and annihilation!
In that instant, the Spirit Firmament returned to a brief period of silence.
Completely over!
Two powerful cultivators at the Silent Source Realm Annihilation [Shadow Flame Wu Huizi] and [Realm Nether Mo Jing Yan], as well as Duan Shi Mo Hui Zun, Lue Ming Ku Yuan Tu, Kui Yuan Annihilated Remains Mother, and a million-strong Soul Army!
Meanwhile, Ling Jingxi also officially broke through to the second level of the Silent Source Realm during this battle, with all six petals of her Mirror Soul fully blooming and the Silent Origin Path completely taking shape!
