The Nether Lord Descends · The Named Realm Loses Its Existence ·
The divine beasts of the Five Sects of Spirit Firmament have fought to the point of annihilation and blood staining the sky. The void still retains the desolate glow brought by the Extinguished Light Void Desert, but the next great battle that will truly determine the fate of the world is just beginning.
Jue Yilei and Chi Leiyuan —the last two commanders of the Immortal Antiquity Era—stood atop the heavens, their gazes like soul-refining thunder, coldly sweeping over every inch of the battlefield's broken boundaries.
Behind them, two figures slowly stepped out.
Those were two ancient soul warriors at the Silent Source Realm Third Stage Perfection who had awakened the remnants of their epochs. One held a Soul Ruler, his sea of consciousness as still as a lake; the other wielded a Shattered Fire Wheel, his breath causing countless souls to dissipate.
They were not ordinary warriors, but the "Ancient Soul-Extinguishing Arbiters" who had annihilated countless races and buried a thousand emperors.
At this moment, the Spirit Firmament was deathly silent.
Facing the four people ahead, Qin Yu stood quietly atop the Broken Boundary, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword still sheathed, the Silent Ring resonating silently within his body.
Xuancang Shenying's robes fluttered, his Soul Seal surging. He gazed into the distance and spoke softly:
"There has never been a battle that allowed me to go all out."
The Grand Venerable Mingxu was as calm as an abyss; beneath his gray robe, the soul lamp flickered, and the light mark on his forehead flashed and then disappeared.
Ling Jingxi gently stroked the Silk Mirror Spirit Ring. Reflected in the mirror were herself, her enemy, and a harbinger of her impending doom.
Chi Leiyuan suddenly scoffed, "This is Spirit Firmament's last remaining strength?"
Jue Yilei remained silent, but simply raised his palm, and the lightning seal on his palm rotated three times, causing the world to darken.
"Come on. Let's see what the final battle of Silent Origin truly is."
Beneath heaven and earth, the winds of the soul howl!
First round of competition!
In an instant, Chi Leiyuan slammed his foot into the ground, unleashing the Rock Soul Thousand Axe Realm. Countless axe shadows surged from the earth's core, whipping up a storm of fiery souls that burned the realm, heading straight for the Grand Venerable Mingxu!
Instead of retreating, the Grand Venerable Mingxu advanced, his sleeves fluttering as the Black Soul Sealing Seal appeared in his palm:
"Nether Flame Consciousness Lock".
The Soul Lock flew out, sealing off all the movement of the axe shadows. The two collided head-on, causing their souls to crack!
At the same moment, Jue Yilei used his finger as a sword to unleash a blade of azure lightning, aimed directly at Qin Yu!
"Realm-Extinguishing Lightning Flame, Soul Judgment Without Pardon!"
Qin Yu glanced at it coldly, without drawing his sword, he simply raised his hand and slashed horizontally:
"Sever the Void in a Single Thought."
The palm Soul Rend dotted line, instantly cutting the lightning flames into an abyss of Wuhen, tearing open space with a deafening roar!
As the thunderous breath echoed, the soul general wielding the fire wheel suddenly appeared behind Ling Jingxi, his soul flames surging and attacking her sea of consciousness!
"The soul that has not yet seen is most easily consumed by fire."
But Ling Jingxi had already noticed, and with a turn of her foot, the Mirror Soul Array instantly reacted:
"Mirror Silk Realm Seal."
The mirror of perception locked onto the target, deflecting the opponent's soul attack. The fire wheel instantly stopped, and the fire shadow was swallowed by the mirror!
At the same time, Xuancang Shenying stood up, pointing at the Soul General wielding the Soul Ruler, his eyes gathering soul light:
"You, go down to the lower realm first."
The soul wind filled his body, and he performed the initial form:
"A Single Draw to the Ruins."
A deep abyss-like soul hole appeared instantly, drawing the enemy's consciousness into a reverse flow, causing space to twist and explode!
Eight powerful beings clash, Realm Splitting begins!
The heavenly souls pressed in, unleashing a multitude of combat techniques!
The winds of war have not yet ceased, and beneath the vast sky, the battle between the eight peak experts of the Silent Origin Realm has entered a true clash.
The Grand Venerable Mingxu walked through the air, his soul lamp swirling in his sleeve. Though its flames were not yet ignited, they illuminated all things. His gaze locked onto the charging, wildly attacking Chi Leiyuan. Suddenly, he extended his left palm and spoke in a deep voice:
"The Soul Resonance Nine Manifestations, appear."
In an instant, nine illusory images of consciousness rose from the Mingxu, each holding a seal. Some carried the World-Suppressing Tower, some carried the Myriad Souls Sealing Pot, and the last image even carried the Black Map of the Abyss of Death!
The nine elephants roared in unison, shattering space and abruptly blocking Chi Leiyuan's "Rock Soul Thousand Axe Realm" strike!
With a single axe strike, Chi Leiyuan trembled, causing the Soul Rock to tremble and three layers of Soul Ravines to appear beneath the earth. But at that moment, the Soul Pattern between the brows of the Grand Venerable Mingxu spun, and he murmured—
"The Soul-Sealing Third Manifestation, Re-seal - Abyss Shock."
A "Soul Seal Tower" descended from the sky, crashing down upon Chi Leiyuan and firmly locking away his axe power. The lightning flames instantly shattered the floating screen of the Soul Realm!
Xuancang Shenying has already faced off against the ancient soul general wielding the Soul Ruler. The two continue their battle deep within the Consciousness Realm, unleashing a barrage of soul skills.
The Soul General used a ruler to open up the Soul Domain, paving the way step by step for the "Realm Master Sealing Hall," intending to seal Xuan Cang's consciousness into the prison of the Soul-Controlling Rules.
Xuancang Shenying stood calmly, his soul power surging suddenly as he unleashed a palm strike:
"The Abyss of the Reverse Mirror."
As the palm print landed, a soul mirror emerged like an abyss, projecting the opponent's soul ruler into it!
"You severed my soul with a ruler, I will seal you with a mirror."
The mirror Soul Rend broke, the soul ruler snapped, and the ancient soul general roared, his soul core in his chest shattered by a crack!
Ling Jingxi continues to fight against the Fire Wheel Soul General. The Fire Wheel Soul General releases the "Myriad Flames Consciousness Refining Array," constructing a sea of soul-refining fire, attempting to melt the Mirror Soul Consciousness Realm into ashes.
Ling Jingxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and her spiritual ring suddenly expanded:
"The Dawn Realm Heart Reflection."
A silvery mirror expanded outwards, reflecting the enemy's emotions into their sea of consciousness—the soul of the Fire Wheel was suddenly stunned, and saw in the mirror the fear it felt before its demise at the "Great Sacrifice of the Soul Domain"!
"You... how...?"
Mirror Domain Transforms into Blade!
Ling Jingxi remained silent, and the mirror light in her hand shattered as she slashed out!
The enemy's soul collapsed, and the flames of the Soul of Knowledge were thrown into chaos!
At this moment, Qin Yu finally drew the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword!
Before the sword was drawn, the void cracked.
Jue Yilei looked at Qin Yu, then suddenly smiled, and a sea of lightning surged within his body:
"I remember you, you slew that Jingyuan Yuehuang."
"Then do you remember—your next sword strike will be a true death?"
As soon as he finished speaking, lightning flashed like nine suns in the sky!
Qin Yu's gaze was indifferent. He took a step into the air and uttered a low shout:
"Sever the Cause, Preventing Birth."
The sword falls!
It's not about killing the enemy's body, but about eliminating the "cause" of all their attacks!
Jue Yilei's lightning domain suddenly went out of control, collapsing before the attack could even be launched!
"What!?"
This strike did not sever the offensive itself, but rather [the very will that initiated the offensive]!
Jue Yilei roared furiously, his sea of consciousness shattered, and he retreated five steps!
The celestial souls are in turmoil, the terrestrial souls are terrified!
On the edge of the main battlefield, disciples of the Divine Flame Radiant Realm and Myriad Spirits Contract Beast Clan have deployed their forces and begun a full-scale conflict with the Soul Army!
The Silent Spirit Snow Fox, Xueli, has entered the Soul Domain and unleashed "Moon Extremity Mirror Descent" to forcefully suppress the enemy's soul array core.
The Nether Glaze Soul Luan soared into the sky and cried out, causing the Myriad Sounds Soul Array to shake the sea of consciousness in all directions!
The Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly, their Cai'er sharp as blades, seal the heavens and lock the Spirit Frost Rainbow Realm, freezing the Soul Sea for a hundred miles!
Azure Thunder Lightning Hunter and lightning explodes, Nether Soul Abyss Viper across the land with soul-devouring attacks. Divine beasts emerge in unison, pressing the battle line forward!
The heavens and earth trembled again. Beneath the void, the four realms of consciousness—the Thunder Domain, the Soul Realm, the Sea of Flames, and the Mirror Abyss —intertwined, unleashing a clash powerful enough to overturn an era.
Amidst the Jue Yilei, the power of thunder gathered once more!
He raised his palm, his five fingers powerfully shaking the Heavenly Soul, and the lightning energy within his body was actually pulled into nine layers of pulses, faintly forming a lightning source star lock connecting heaven and earth!
"Annihilation Thunder of Ten Thousand Souls - Nine Revolutions Sealing the Realm!"
In an instant, countless lightning seals descended from the void, connecting with the surrounding Soul Sea and forcibly constructing a "lightning-sealed Consciousness Realm" to suppress Qin Yu and Xuancang Shenying within it!
But at that moment, the Xuancang Shenying roared angrily:
"You dare seal my knowledge? Then I will sever the boundary!"
He raised his hand and struck, a divine soul guide suddenly reversing the void and slashing into the foundation of that thunder realm!
"Realm Abyss Severing Pivot!"
As this technique was unleashed, a "Soul Source Severance" appeared in the void, forcibly tearing off the origin connection point directly from the Thunder Realm!
The Jue Yilei, and the Thunder Seal Diagram suddenly began to collapse!
"Xuan Cang... you actually..."
But before he could finish speaking, the Grand Venerable Mingxu on the other side had already completed the Nine Transformations and unfolded the final form:
"Ninth Image: Soul Source Devouring the Abyss!"
The nine symbols transformed into an invisible soul wheel, locking onto the soul core of the Chi Leiyuan!
This attack is not intended to break the enemy's form, but rather—
"It will devour the very root of your consciousness and sever the source of your soul."
Chi Leiyuan was shocked and released his soul flames to resist!
Little did he know that the Soul Wheel did not attack his physical body, but rather devoured the "first causal connection" between his soul and his sea of consciousness!
Boom!
A strange sound rang out from the soul core, Chi Leiyuan coughed up a mouthful of blood!
Qin Yu stepped into the arena, wielding the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, and entered the boundary of the Thunder Sealing Soul Abyss!
His gaze was as deep as an abyss, and he uttered softly:
"Boundless Ashes."
Before the sword was drawn, the realm perished.
This sword strike—shatters everything upon which the enemy's consciousness relies—"space, time, causality, and existence"—into ashes!
The Thunder Soul-Sealing Lock shattered inch by inch amidst the sword intent, and the Void Abyss exploded with a deafening roar!
Jue Yilei's body was ripped open with eight marks by the sword light. Unable to suppress his furious roar, he cried out, "How could you—"
At the same time, behind the battle line, the Mirror Moon Spirit Wheel suddenly bloomed on the Silent Spirit Snow Fox Xueli!
She roared and her nine tails soared into the sky, unleashing "Moon Extremity Mirror Descent - Ice Soul Severance"!
The icy domain pressed down, instantly freezing the 100,000-strong Soul Army into Soul Crystals, rendering them unable to move!
Meanwhile, the Nether Glaze Soul Luan spread its wings and soared high, using the "Illusory Feather Reverse Sound Array" to deflect all the enemy's soul spells, shattering hundreds of arrays!
The Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly then unleashed Extreme Cold Rainbow Realm, disrupting the tracking of Soul Soldiers and Cursed Soldiers, rendering their Soul Skills unable to lock onto the enemy!
The battle lines are solid, and morale is soaring!
The ultimate battle between the eight Venerables is shifting from "undermining their minds and breaking their perceptions" to "exposing their true nature and erasing their source"!
The main soul, the source consciousness, the boundary seal, cause and effect, the void... none are immune to the battle!
The void was like a vast sea, and the wind howled furiously. The celestial soul and the earthly consciousness were utterly torn apart in this section!
Jue Yilei roared in fury!
He no longer suppressed the source of his life force, but instead ignited it completely!
"You think I'm nothing more than a Thunder Soul Master?"
"Then let me show you—the Ancestor of Thunder Souls!"
He spread his arms wide, his soul blood boiling, and the "Ancient Lightning Abyss Seal" engraved deep in his Fate Soul suddenly burst forth with nine layers of lightning!
"Lightning Abyss Fate-Sealing Diagram!"
The scroll, like a boundary, appeared behind it. Every line was a remnant of the ancient Thunder Emperor's soul, and every wisp of thunderous breath could devour souls and shatter consciousness.
The entire void was completely transformed into a Thunder Domain Imprisonment Realm!
Qin Yu, however, did not retreat; instead, he took a step forward.
He held the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, his expression cold, his fingertip touching the spine of the sword.
"Sever Observation, Leaving No Mirror."
Boom--!
The "Lightning Abyss Fate-Sealing Diagram" of Jue Yilei to be descended from the heavens like a god, suddenly dimmed!
Qin Yu's move wasn't about breaking the diagram—it was about Severed Observation!
Once you make a move, you will expose all your "soul-awareness" abilities!
The No Mirror is something that completely prevents your own consciousness from seeing the trajectory of your attacks and the feedback from your battle spirit!
You will no longer be able to observe your power, your incantations, your attacks!
Jue Yilei was taken aback, and his palm strike missed by half an inch.
That tiny inch was enough to make Qin Ning draw his sword!
" To Sever Fate, Cut Off Return."
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword struck out, severing the root of the Fate Soul!
Jue Yilei forcibly retreated nine steps, his body exploding with spiritual energy, and a burst of thunderous soul light overflowed from the corner of his mouth, forcefully suppressing his collapse!
"You... you severed my destiny... you actually..."
But before he could finish speaking, Qin Ning's sword finger swung again, and before the enemy could catch his breath, he unleashed another powerful sword strike:
"Sever the Soul in Nine Silences!"
This time, the target is no longer the track, but the nine-layered outer shell of the soul!
The Jue Yilei Defense failed, and the man was torn apart in mid-air, leaving nine fragmented soul shadows!
He roared, the lightning seal retaliated, and finally, at the last moment, he forcibly erected a half-world lightning shield!
I already said...
Qin Yu's voice was indifferent.
"You won't die, but you'll regret ever appearing before me."
At the same time, Ling Jingxi's Mirror Soul Battle Technique has pushed the Fire Wheel Soul General to its Limit!
The Soul of the Fiery Wheel unleashed "Thousand Fires Consciousness Wheel Extinction," attempting to burn away the Mirror Soul's structure.
Little did they know, the essence of Ayako was waiting for this moment to explode.
Ling Jingxi extended her finger, and a faint light of a flower pattern was reflected in the Mirror Soul Ring.
"The Flower Never Reaches Its End."
The power of the Mirror and the Realm Evolution Soul Flower merged, and the Soul Flower bloomed in the mirror, a serene circle, like a death curse blooming!
The Fire Wheel Soul General's soul consciousness suddenly collapsed, and even the root of his soul was instantly drained!
"Who... who are you...?"
You have no right to remember me.
The Mirror Soul exploded, and the physical consciousness was annihilated!
The far front
The fierce battle between the Myriad Spirits Contract Beast Clan disciples and the Soul Army continues!
Qian Ruishan unleashed "Silent Frost Shatters the Realm" once more, breaking through five layers of enemy sealing formations.
Zhou Yu furiously slashed at the Thunder Soul Sword Formation, and the "Abyss Breath Realm Lightning" covered a thousand souls, and the Thunder Hunter roared once more!
Yao Wanqing unleashed the "Ice Prison Soul Sealing Array," followed by a triple strike of Mirror Cold, annihilating the enemy's soul array!
Divine beasts unleashed a barrage of attacks, and souls exploded continuously in the sky as the sect disciples fought to the bitter end!
On the main battlefront, Qin Yu stood with his sword sheathed.
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword was only slightly stained with lightning blood, and the marks of the Ninefold Soul Severance had not yet dissipated.
Jue Yilei, severely injured, retreated in utter shock.
He finally growled:
"You... what exactly are you...?"
A Soul Sea, soul incantations pierced the sky, and the pinnacle of the Five Sects had long since become a battlefield of Annihilation. Thunder and flames continued unabated, and mirrors and souls devoured each other.
At that moment, the sky trembled.
Chi Leiyuan roared repeatedly, and charred soul patterns appeared on his soul bones!
In his rage, he ignited the flame within him—
"Soul Grave Flame Seed"
The temperature of the entire battle zone suddenly soared, and the shockwave in the sea of consciousness even caused the outermost Divine Flame Radiant Realm defense line to shake violently!
"All those who Spirit Firmament Realm shall perish!"
He unleashed his ultimate technique:
"Rock Soul Grave - Burning Realm Calamity Ring!"
The fire of consciousness is no longer ordinary; it is the "calamity fire" formed by the fusion of Fate Soul consciousness and rock destiny!
Within that ring, blazing flames stretched for thousands of feet, incinerating the souls of a hundred consciousnesses with every breath!
In an instant, three of the soul array barriers set up by the five sects' heavenly curtain were broken!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu has finally made his move!
As he rolled up his sleeves, an ancient soul lamp appeared in his palm, its flame a deep blue, illuminating the soul like a deep abyss.
"Dual Seal of Soul and Consciousness - Mieyin and Sealing of the Abyss"
He sealed the soul lamp into the void, transforming it into a sealing array trigger, and then unleashed the sealing technique:
"The first step in sealing and recognizing: recognizing the lock."
"Second Ring of Seal: Due to Fall."
The soul fire suddenly extinguished!
Chi Leiyuan's Tribulation Flame Rings were frozen in mid-air, and his soul's trajectory was also severed by the two rings!
"How... is this possible?"
The Grand Venerable Mingxu walked slowly forward, his eyes indifferent as if praying to the dead.
"You're too noisy."
The flames of the Soul Lamp surged upwards, backlashing against Chi Leiyuan's sea of consciousness!
The latter angrily slashed at the soul chain and only forced the opponent back by detonating his own Soul Seal!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ling Jingxi locked onto the Soul General wielding the Soul Ruler. Despite repeated defeats, this person fought to the death without retreating.
The Silk Mirror Spirit Ring radiated soul light, and the illusory image of the Soul Flower reappeared.
"Tracing Boundaries: Reflecting Flowers and Asking Questions."
This technique does not strike the enemy's body, nor does it destroy their soul, but rather—
"Ask your deepest obsessions, and they will lead you to self-destruction."
The spirit suddenly froze, and the mirror reflected the tribe he had slaughtered ten thousand years ago, the former master he had betrayed, and the relatives he had destroyed.
"I... don't want to remember these things..."
Boom!
His soul shattered from within his sea of consciousness, mirror broke and flowers fell, and he collapsed to his knees!
"I was wrong... I... I was wrong..."
The consciousness and soul collapsed, instantly Annihilation!
Qin Yu continued forward, this time no longer suppressing his own Silent Origin Soul Breath.
The [Silent Ring Return to the Abyss Diagram] slowly rose within his body, its wheel-like seals swirling, stirring up a storm of consciousness and soul.
Beside him, the Xuancang Shenying finally erupted!
He summoned his Fate Realm, the "Mysterious Abyss Sealing Chain," connecting the nine layers of soul locks in heaven and earth, and activating the final soul technique:
"Realm Soul Mutual Devouring."
Boom!!
The Consciousness Realm tore open, and Qin Yu and Xuancang Shenying resonated at the root of their souls, unleashing a combined attack!
The chains of the Realm Soul Mutual Devouring bound Chi Leiyuan's soul consciousness tightly, while Qin Ning took a step forward:
"Trace the Spirit Abyss."
This sword strike traces back to the very essence of its ten-thousand-year-old Soul Seal!
One sword strike shattered the "primordial driving force" of Chi Leiyuan's existence!
His soul trembled, his consciousness blurred, and Chi Leiyuan's sea of consciousness collapsed!
The fierce battle between disciples of various sects and the Soul Army continues.
At this moment, the divine beast Star Prisoner Abyss Chi, though severely injured, still unleashed the "Star Abyss Soul-Binding Chain" at the front line of Heavenly Abyss Beast Que, suppressing the enemy's thousand-strong formation!
The Extinguished Light Void Desert floats across the sky, releasing "Mirror Silence Returns to Dust," causing the souls of 100,000 enemies to prematurely reveal their future defeat and self-destruction!
The Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly and the Azure Thunder Lightning Hunter joined forces to set up the "Butterfly Lightning Sealing Domain." The Spirit Butterfly sealed the senses, and the Thunder Hunter severed the heart, causing the Soul Army to retreat in disarray!
The war has not ended; but silence has already arrived.
The Heavenly Abyss were stained with blood, and the Soul Realm shattered.
As the souls were annihilated, Chi Leiyuan and Jue Yilei had completely ignited their final obsession.
Chi Leiyuan's soul energy collapsed to the extreme. In his extreme rage, he tore apart a forbidden curse source deep within his sea of consciousness!
That was a fragment of a Soul Realm core—from the long-vanished Realm of Fate's Grave!
He roared to the sky:
Even in death, I will burn you all to ashes!
In an instant, the flames of the Life Grave soared into the sky, illuminating the entire Broken Realm as if it were a purgatory!
The wind of consciousness transformed into a stream of fire, and time, cause and effect, and the structure of the sea of consciousness were all scorched by the gray-white flames.
But at this moment, the Grand Venerable Mingxu remained calm and composed, his gaze cold and detached.
"Fire of the Gravesite?"
He extended a finger, and the soul lamp hovered in mid-air:
"Silent Seal - Boundary Ash Pattern."
An ancient rune exploded from Mingxu's brows, revealing the Sealing Abyss Rune that connects to the deepest level of the Soul Realm!
Before the fire of the grave could even fall, it was gradually decomposed, evaporated, and devoured by the embers!
Chi Leiyuan coughed up blood, his voice hoarse with pain:
"I... I don't believe you can... seal off the soul fire!!"
The Grand Venerable Mingxu only whispered:
"The soul fire has a cause, and the sea of consciousness has a root, but if even the root is severed, how can the fire burn?"
At the same time, Jue Yilei also descended into madness!
He roared to the sky, and a Thunder Soul Sacrifice Array emerged beneath the cracks in his soul shell!
"Since you have severed my destiny, I will offer my soul as a sacrifice to the abyss!"
He raised his hand and severed his own soul meridian, offering his blood as a sacrifice to the lightning!
"Soul-Sacrificing Lightning Tribulation - Annihilation Technique!"
Countless lightning bolts stretched across the sky, forcibly forming a "Illusory Abyss" barrier!
This barrier is a remnant of a seal created by the Ancient Soul Emperor. It can drag opponents into the "Consciousness Soul Illusory Realm", and through self-destruction, create a "Soul Annihilation Linkage"!
In an instant, Qin Yu was pulled into the depths of the Thunder Abyss illusion!
A thousand souls wailed, a billion thunderbolts roared.
Within that instant, Qin Yu saw thousands of possible deaths, each presented in an extremely realistic way!
"If you waver even slightly, you will truly die within the illusion."
This is the essence of the Thunder Soul Illusionary Realm.
But the next moment, Qin Yu's lips curled into a smile:
"You underestimate me."
He slashed horizontally with his right hand, unleashing a sword light that ignored the laws of illusion!
"Eternally Sever the Heavenly Balance."
In that instant, the rules within the illusion collapsed, and the fundamental logic that constructed the Illusory Abyss was completely annihilated!
The illusionary realm... collapsed instantly!
Thunder Abyss Reversed, Knowledge Exploded and Scorched!
Jue Yilei staggered back nine steps, his soul and body shattering into pieces!
"He... shattered the foundation of illusionary consciousness!?"
This scene stunned the entire audience!
Xuancang Shenying snorted coldly, and the Soul-Sealing Chains locked again!
"I'll lock your Soul Name in place."
The curse descended, Jue Yilei!
Meanwhile, behind the front lines, Yao Wanqing fought alongside Azure Thunder Lightning Hunter!
Yao Wanqing shattered the enemy's mind with her "Mirror Cold Final Radiance"!
Thunder Hunter roared, "Thunder Hunter - Severing Consciousness Lightning Soul Claw!" and with a single claw, he shattered the enemy's main formation!
The Nether Soul Abyss Viper then coats its thousand-foot-long soul domain with "Ming Yuan Poison Breath," causing the enemy's soul consciousness to deteriorate and disintegrate!
The Nether Glaze Soul Luan once again circled in the void, playing a soul-sound illusion array to disrupt the rhythm of the enemy's soul skills!
The five lines of defense have been firmly established!
The embers of flame had not yet died down, and the lightning still lingered, but this chapter would be a battle where the chains of Fate Soul!
In the center of the battlefield, Chi Leiyuan was already severely injured, his soul consciousness was as fragile as paper, and his anger burned within him instead of diminishing.
"You... all deserve to die!"
The last soul vein in his body exploded, and his sea of consciousness roared incessantly, attempting to reignite his last divine soul!
But at this very moment--
"Silent Soul Chain - Nine Locks Sealing the Abyss."
With a chilling whisper like a deathly sound, the Xuancang Shenying's Mysterious Abyss Sealing Chain suddenly shattered the ground and soared into the sky!
The ninefold chain imprint marked, nailed, and pulled out all of Chi Leiyuan's soul trajectory, Soul Seal, soul path, and life root curse chain!
First Lock: Sealing the Soul Root.
The Second Lock: Locking Fate.
The third lock: Severing the cause of perception.
The fourth lock: The bridge is blocked.
The Fifth Lock: Soul-Destroying Wheel.
The Sixth Lock: The Soul-Locking Inscription.
The Seventh Lock: The Rift of Gods.
The Eighth Lock: The Soul-Binding Ring.
The Ninth Lock: The Track of Annihilation.
Boom--!!
At this moment, all divine soul tracks are locked!
Chi Leiyuan roared to the sky, his soul unable to move, and even his ability to unleash a counter-curse was completely stripped away!
His eyes were filled with bloodlust, but he could only watch helplessly as the Grand Venerable Mingxu approached step by step!
The Grand Venerable Mingxu held a soul lamp in his left hand and a lingering obsession in his right.
"With your knowledge, seal my Soul Lamp - Nine Abysses Bright Seal."
He sealed the scorching and chaotic soul fire of the Chi Leiyuan into the soul lamp, casting the "Bright Seal Soul-Sealing Curse".
This act is not merely Annihilation, but rather the eternal imprisonment in the Hell of Light, from which there is no escape!
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
Chi Leiyuan Ultimate, mournful howl, his soul and body utterly annihilated!
Silence descended.
On the other side, Jue Yilei still had combat power, but he could no longer mobilize his complete soul energy.
He tried to retreat, seeking a way to break the deadlock.
But Qin Yu refused.
The Silent Ring Return to the Abyss Diagram has been fully unfolded!
His left hand held a ring, his right hand pointed the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword diagonally, and his voice was like a divine pronouncement:
"Your battle, in my eyes, never even began."
He slashed down through the air!
"The Unborn Silent Cause."
This sword strike will neither harm the body nor destroy the soul; it will only sever "the reason you exist in this battle!"
In an instant, Jue Yilei's consciousness went haywire, and his eyes wavered!
Why... have I come here?
Why should I fight?
"Who I am?"
He actually lost the fundamental logic of fighting under Qin Yu's sword intent!
The void trembled as he erased all traces of his "participation" from his sea of consciousness!
Boom!!
His body exploded, and his consciousness blurred.
But all of this is not the end.
Qin Yu did not sheath his sword. Instead, he slowly raised the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, stared at the spot where the opponent's soul had shattered, and whispered:
"The game is not over yet, Ring Master has not made a decision."
A brief silence fell over the main battlefront. Chi Leiyuan's consciousness was locked and sealed into the lamp, while Jue Yilei's consciousness Cause Severance and his mind scattered. However, the battle did not end.
The sky exploded again!
From within the shattered consciousness of the two, something unexpected emerged—
Two shadowy soul cores.
Like the bones of ghosts, they "self-reconstructed" from the remnants of their Soul Seal; this was the last forbidden technique for survival that Jue Yilei and Chi Leiyuan had buried deep within their soul cores long ago.
"Shadow Abyss Returns to Life - Soul Seal Resurrected!"
The two Shadow Soul Cores transformed into Reverse Abyss Soul Shadows, wielding the Phantom Thunder Blade and the Soul Flame Wheel. Their auras did not weaken; on the contrary, they became even colder.
Qin Yu frowned slightly, but did not move.
Ling Jingxi sighed softly, and the Silk Mirror Spirit Ring slowly unfolded behind her, its cold light flowing like frost.
"Mirror Soul - Reversed Abyss Consciousness Realm."
The mirror ring moved, and the field of consciousness of heaven and earth reversed!
The previously clear rules of cause and effect, time, and mirroring have all been overturned!
--If the enemy attacks from the front, she reflects it in her mirror as a counterattack; if the enemy uses illusion, she uses her mirror to deliver a real kill!
She stepped into the Mirror Realm, like a lonely flower blooming in an inverted abyss!
The one who reversed the abyss soul shadow had already made his move, and the thunder blade, like a phantom, slashed towards Ling Jingxi's soul throat!
But he was cut back by himself in the Mirror Realm!
"Cold Light Reaches the Abyss."
Lingjing made her move, a cold light piercing through his sea of consciousness, severing the root of his thunder blade!
The soul shadow instantly twisted, and before a low curse could be uttered, it exploded and dissipated!
Another soul shadow suddenly attacked Qin Ning, using its soul wheel to suppress his divine sense, not to break through his defenses, but only to obscure his vision!
However--
"Trace the Spirit Abyss."
Qin Yu did not move, but Sword Qi slashed out from the depths of his soul, directly targeting the origin of the soul shadow, "The Fate-Cause"!
The ghostly figure didn't even get within three zhang of Qin Ning before it shattered in mid-air like a bubble!
Not even a trace was left!
This scene once again shocked the remaining Soul Army!
Meanwhile, on the long-range battlefield
The Nether Glaze Soul Luan soared high in the sky, using "Mirror Feather Severs the Nether" to forcefully sever the soul connection of the enemy's great formation, causing the soul army to lose all mobilization!
Yao Wanqing and Zhou Yu launched another combined attack, with Yao using a counter-attack technique and Zhou using a sword to seize knowledge!
Thunder Hunter and Viper charge in unison, ten thousand souls break through the formation!
Qian Ruishan unleashed her extreme cold domain on the other end, freezing the enemy's consciousness and slowing down their soul skills by half a breath!
That brief half-breath became the final resting place of ten thousand souls!
The brief peace has been shattered, the Soul Seal has been reforged, but—
There's no way to turn the tide.
And all of this marks the true turning point in the Battle of the Spirit Firmament.
The embers of the Soul War have not yet been extinguished. Although Chi Leiyuan and Jue Yilei have been Annihilation, the "Reverse Abyss Soul Seal" left by their remnant souls still remains between heaven and earth.
At that moment, as the sky twisted, the two Soul Seal forcibly—self-ignited and turned back!
Above the Heavenly Abyss, two pitch-black marks, like twin sun wheels of souls, rotated in the void, converging to form two final images of divine souls.
It is not a soul shadow, but rather—"Reverse-Burning Consciousness Soul".
This is an extremely forbidden technique known as "Burn the Seal and Return to the Abyss".
He sealed all the pain, curses, and will of his "moment of death" into a single Soul Seal, abandoning his physical body in his Soul Sea, all for the sake of delivering that final blow!
Those who seal the boundary... shall all be annihilated.
"You sever my consciousness, I'll ignite your life."
The two Reverse-Burning Consciousness Soul flew directly toward the four sects of the Spirit Firmament, attempting to shatter the foundations of the sects!
A crisis suddenly struck.
Right now--
Xuancang Shenying his left palm horizontally, his five fingers forming a boundary, and the [Realm Balance Seal] appeared in his palm!
He whispered:
"Seal the Heavenly Balance."
The Seal of Boundary Balance hangs in the void, immovable as a mountain, yet it shakes the Heavenly Soul and subdues all nine senses.
As the two "Reverse-Burning Consciousness Soul" approached, they were like crows with broken wings, instantly tearing apart, exploding, and disintegrating violently!
When the balance of the universe shifts, cause and effect return to order, and the chaotic soul has no proof.
At this moment, the Reverse Flame Seal was completely annihilated!
Chi Leiyuan and Jue Yilei —no trace of their existence remains in this world!
But then the sky suddenly changed again!
Before their demise, they ignited the final soul array seal—
"The Abyss Severance Seal Burning!"
This technique is not a combat skill and cannot kill enemies, but it can summon "some unnamed power" from the depths of the Silent Abyss.
Round after round of black patterns appeared in the sky, each pattern seemingly devouring Fate Soul and twisting the laws.
Qin suddenly looked up and sensed a faint whisper echoing from the inscription:
"... The Ring Master... should not have returned..."
His expression was cold, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as the dark sea.
He took a step forward, and the Silent Ring Return to the Abyss Diagram slowly unfolded.
"Abyss Explosion."
Boom!!!
The entire Consciousness Realm collapsed at the same time, like a bottomless abyss!
Before the power of "Abyss Severance Seal Burning" could take shape, it was torn apart by the Silent Ring to the very beginning of the soul's origin!
"You need my permission to bring anything."
His Ring Master presence is unmistakable!
[Simultaneously, Post-Battlefield]
Mu Qingwan drew upon Xueli's soul power, and the nine-tailed snow fox protected the boundary, blocking the enemy's soul attack!
Qian Ruishan's Ice Soul Mirror Strike, a single move called "Soul Mirror Ice Wheel," freezes all senses!
Zhou Yu's tribulation has begun again, with the Reverse Soul Lightning Bind forcibly locking eight thousand souls!
The battlefield situation has been completely reversed!
The Heavenly Soul has broken through nine levels, and the enemy's awareness is waning and on the verge of collapse.
Chi Leiyuan and Jue Yilei's souls were completely annihilated, but their strongest auxiliary souls—two beings at the Silent Source Realm Third Stage Perfection —finally erupted at this moment!
These two, one wielding a soul bow and the other controlling a withered bone flag, are both descendants of ancient Immortal Antiquity warriors who were destined to World Extinguisher the world. They have died and been reborn, all for this battle!
They suddenly stood side by side, roaring angrily:
"The Lord is dead, but we remain!"
"As long as the soul endures, the battle will never cease!"
The Soul Archer raised his hand, and the "World Extinguisher Soul Moon" condensed in the Void Realm, piercing through the nine layers of the Soul Realm with a single arrow!
"The Soul-Weeping Arrow."
Before the arrow even arrives, the sea of consciousness collapses.
Meanwhile, the flag bearer unleashed a sinister spell, transforming black, withered bones into countless soldiers that blotted out the sky and created a "Nether Burial Death Realm"!
"Consciousness Severs Myriad Abysses."
Consciousness Chain Burns, Soul Ring Locks!
At this moment, at the summit of the Five Sects, the heavens and earth trembled violently!
But their response was a combined attack from the Grand Venerable Mingxu and the Xuancang Shenying!
Using the sea of consciousness as a diagram and the soul bridge as a guide, they unleashed a combined ultimate technique—
"Soul Ring Boundary Mark - Myriad Locks of the Silent Abyss Curse!"
The Soul Lamp merges with the sealing chain, reversing the lock on the Bridge of Fate, severing the Soul Arrow and shattering the Banner of Annihilation!
Xuancang Shenying shouted:
"I'll seal your karma!"
The Grand Venerable Mingxu sneered:
"Destroy your source of knowledge!"
The incantation seals transformed into a wheel of seals, like rings of World Extinguisher falling one after another!
Those two Silent Origin warriors were utterly powerless to resist; their consciousnesses Soul Rend perished instantly!
Above the sky, the two strands of Silent Origin soul energy vanished like smoke, with no possibility of return!
[Sideline - Divine Beast Battle Status]
The war beasts continued their bombardment, Nether Glaze Soul Luan and the Extinguished Light Void Desert did not retreat!
The Soul Luan cry of the phoenix falls, shattering ten thousand enemy troops!
The Extinguished Light Void Desert released the "Consciousness-Annihilating Time-Devouring Chain," locking the "future trajectory" of the last remaining soul army, causing it to collapse before its attack could even begin!
-
Qin Yu finally moved forward again, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword hanging from his fingertips.
He has fallen silent.
Because the real end will come next...
Souls will Annihilation, the Abyss of Consciousness will collapse, and the wailing of ten thousand souls on the battlefield has ceased. Only Qin Ning, stepping on the dust of Annihilation, slowly walks to the summit of the Broken Realm.
The sky had darkened, and all senses trembled.
He stopped at the edge of the Void Abyss, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand slowly raised, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword pointing at the remaining Soul Army headquarters high in the sky—the position that originally belonged to Jue Yilei and Chi Leiyuan.
He didn't say anything, but simply took a step forward.
--The Silent Ring Return to the Abyss Diagram slowly unfolded behind him, as countless Return to the Abyss and the boundary marks flowed back.
In that instant, everyone—the divine beasts, the soul army—felt a chill, as if witnessing a being beyond the laws of nature raising its head.
"A name is an existence."
Qin Yu spoke in a low voice, devoid of emotion or killing intent, yet as cold rain falling from the sky, a single, decisive sentence:
"The Beginning of the Realm: The Sole Silent Name"
In an instant, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword unleashed a hundred-million-foot-long azure-gold halo in the air, piercing through the entire Consciousness Realm!
Not a kill--
Rather: erasure "names" from the world.
The remaining fragments of Jue Yilei and Chi Leiyuan's soul were unable to escape.
Under this sword, all their names, memories, perceptions, mentions, and traces—were utterly annihilated!
Heaven and earth were empty.
No one can recall what they fought for, why they existed, or even... whether they ever existed at all.
--The right to be "named" has been revoked.
This is the ruling from the Ring Master.
This was also the true reckoning of the Spirit Firmament War.
At this moment, Qin Yu exhaled softly, slowly sheathed his sword, and whispered:
"If you don't deserve to exist, then there's no need to remember you."
He did not turn around, but the Extinguished Light Void Desert followed him with their heads bowed, and the Nether Glaze Soul Luan spread its wings and landed behind him. All the souls submitted, and the world was as quiet as ever.
The name of Annihilation remains sealed away beyond the reach of consciousness.
The divine light of the Silent Ring had not yet dissipated, and the intent of the Origin Destroyer Sword still remained.
But Qin Ning had already slowly sheathed his sword and stepped down from the void abyss.
There were no battle cries, no triumphant shouts, only silence.
At that moment, all the remaining soul soldiers, remnants of the enemy, and phantoms in the sky were frozen in mid-air, as if fate had pressed a "pause" button.
Their souls did not die, but they all bowed their heads and laid down their weapons.
All souls bowed their heads.
It wasn't out of fear, but because they could no longer perceive the meaning of "fighting".
Because that young man, who possessed the three Ultimate soul techniques of "Origin Destroyer," "No Tribulation," and "Silent Ring," had already used his sword and soul to remove war itself from the rules of the world.
[Extinguished Light Void Desert] slowly walked to Qin Yu's side and whispered:
"They are no longer enemies."
"Lord, what's next?"
Qin Yu did not respond, but simply gazed gently at the high sky.
Behind her, the Nether Glaze Soul Luan slowly gathered its illusory feathers, letting out a soft cry that shook down the myriad abyss Soul Ash.
Azure Thunder Lightning Hunter, Nether Soul Abyss Viper, Myriad-Colored Ice Butterfly, Silent Spirit Snow Fox Xueli... all appeared beside the main seat, standing quietly around Qin Ning, like eight divine generals guarding the Silent Lord.
In the distance, the Xuancang Shenying bowed and whispered:
"From this day forward, Spirit Firmament will no longer bow to the old Heavenly Order."
The Grand Venerable Mingxu gazed at the waning sky and said in a deep voice:
"Though the war has ended, the abyss remains beyond. Qin Yu... are you ready to face that 'door'?"
Ling Jingxi remained silent, the mirror ring turning slightly, and a subtle undercurrent stirred within the Xi Realm, as if sensing a projection of destiny from afar.
At this moment, the illusion beneath Qin Yu's feet gradually collapsed, transforming into the pure void beneath the Azure Ring.
He closed his eyes.
Whisper--
"The next battle will not be about survival."
"It's for... the sake of existence."
Where the sky collapsed, an indescribable gate slowly emerged.
That gate Non-Realm gate, nor a portal to any known world, nor a teleportation rift, but rather it was called:
"The Gate Beyond Ming".
It is not a passage from one place to another, but rather a door that Does Not Exist in the world at all.
When the door opens, the "boundary" ceases to exist.
Once the door is opened, the rules cease to exist.
This gate was born from the shattered light of the Realm Collapse. The gate has no patterns or texture, only countless inverted memories, illusions, and shadows of souls flowing around its edges, as if all the "forgotten" things flow out from here.
[Ring Master] Qin Yu quietly looked up.
Azure Ring moved slightly behind him.
All the divine beasts appeared bewildered, their senses failing them, but Qin Ning alone did not stop.
Xuancang Shenying's brows furrowed slightly as he said:
"This gate... does not Spirit Firmament."
The Grand Venerable Mingxu also whispered:
"That is the boundary of the rules. Those who step in will no longer be remembered by this world."
Ling Jingxi watched Qin Yu's retreating figure and whispered:
"You will eventually... go there."
However, before anyone could decide their next move, a thing emerged from the "Gate Beyond Ming"—
The invisible hand.
That hand had no form, no soul, no cause and effect, yet it slowly traversed the barrier of rules, as if trying to "explore" the very foundation of the Spirit Firmament's existence.
The expression on Extinguished Light Void Desert's face changed drastically.
That wasn't a summons, it was a death sentence.
"It's searching—whether the Azure Ring 'belongs here.'"
In an instant, his sea of consciousness trembled, and the array seals of a thousand sects resonated!
The entire Spirit Firmament seemed to be sensed by that "non-existent hand"!
Qin Yu remained motionless, but the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword in his hand slowly came out of its sheath.
For the first time, Azure Ring emitted a low hum in his ear:
My name is not found in this world.
"If we demand it by force, the balance of heaven will surely be shattered."
A sudden flash of light, and the shadow of the Ring Master reappeared in the world!
He slowly walked towards the "Gate Beyond Ming," without speaking or moving, only uttering one last word:
"Since you've been waiting to see what I'm thinking..."
"Then come to Spirit Firmament —to ask the sword."
With sword pointed at the void gate, it slashed down!
Just as Qin Yu pointed his sword at the Void Realm, Azure Ring broke her seal—
That "Gate Beyond Ming" lost its boundaries in an instant!
The door disappeared.
But from the "concept of a door," slowly—
To step out of existence.
No, it's an indefinable "abyss of perception".
In an instant, the world turned black and white, the rules were shaken back, and soul consciousness was frozen.
Within the Great Abyss Beyond Ming, the Ming Xianyou finally revealed himself.
He is neither human nor god.
Yet it simultaneously possesses the opposite reflection of all higher-dimensional existences.
With each step he took, the heavens and earth were reflected in his image.
Everywhere his gaze fell, every soul seemed to recall "the moment of their deepest fear."
He was clad in the Garment of Flowing Abysses, his face covered with the "Face of Consciousnessless," and a "Crack-like Seal" on his forehead, within which were faintly reflected countless fragments of the birth and death of the universe.
When the wind stops, knowledge vanishes.
All five divine beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, and even the Extinguished Light Void Desert felt the pressure deep within their souls.
"He... did not come to fight."
"He has come to reclaim the 'right to exist'."
Qin Yu gazed at her; the Azure Ring stopped trembling and fell silent.
Because on the other side was the entire Spirit Firmament —the very entity that had once completely erased "His name".
He quietly took a step forward:
"The Silent Origin Final Seal... once belonged to my grasp."
"Azure Ring... once trembled and sought fame in my memory."
Ming Xianyou slowly opened his palm, and a wisp of light from the "World Origin Core" rose from it—it was none other than...
Part of the Spirit Firmament Realm Core.
He whispered:
"From today onwards."
This world no longer belongs to you.
"Instead—it will return to my hands."
The moment Ming Xianyou stepped out of the Gate Beyond Ming, the Spirit Firmament Realm seemed to fall into "eternal silence."
Xuancang Shenying's pupils trembled violently, and the World Soul Seal fluctuated wildly between his brows, briefly losing control and staggering half a step!
He said in a trembling voice:
"That was... a being once sealed away by Spirit Firmament in the 'Primordial Abyss of Karma'..."
"How could this be... not only did he not die, but he also... took control of the world's source core?"
The Grand Venerable Mingxu clenched his fist tightly, cracks appeared on his soul lamp, and his expression was colder than ever before.
"... Even we... cannot perceive what He is..."
All we know is that every nightmare we forget is an echo sent from Him.
Beside her, Ling Jingxi whispered softly, and the mirror trembled slightly:
That's not the enemy.
"That is... the existence after Silent Origin."
"It's... someone we should have forgotten long ago."
Qin Yu remained motionless, only Azure Ring shimmering with dark light behind him.
A single thought—points directly to the Ming Xianyou.
Before the flames of war reignite.
The entire Spirit Firmament trembled.
