On the Annihilation Ash Plateau, the wind howls like knives, and swirling dust stirs up fragments of a lifeless, forgotten dream.
As Qin Yu and his companions stepped into the ruins of an ancient stone palace, before the loose stones beneath their feet had even settled, a powerful killing intent descended from the sky like a sharp blade that could slay souls.
"They've arrived." Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing into the void ahead.
The next moment--
The void trembled as a figure descended from the Nine Heavenly Abyss, surrounded by chaotic Dao fire, like an apocalyptic altar slowly descending. With each step he took, the Gray Domain shook, as if the god of death had descended upon the world.
"Yu Minghuang." Yan Yue whispered, a faint golden flame igniting deep within her starry eyes.
Yu Minghuang stood with his hands behind his back, and six terrifying auras appeared behind him one after another. They were all beings at the Final Cycle Realm, each carrying an overwhelming pressure that could crush all living beings. They were like six ancient wheel rulers stepping out from the abyss of reincarnation.
"Finally found you." Yu Minghuang sneered, his gaze fixed on Qin Yu. "This time, let's see where you can run."
The moment his words fell, the air currents in the Gray Domain changed drastically, the heavens and earth seemed to collapse, and the power of the wheel condensed into an invisible giant wheel in the void, slowly turning as if to crush the fate of the four people completely.
Qin Yu stood still, a faint smile slowly curving his lips, "Escape? Are you sure we still need to escape?"
The next moment, Zi Xue took a step forward, her phoenix feathers fluttering, and the shadow of the black phoenix rose gracefully, illuminating the gray desolation with starlight.
Yunyi and Ning Guizhou also focused their attention; a battle was now unavoidable.
--The Ashes of the Sky Hunt begins.
Star feathers fluttered, nine wings shook the sky, Zi Xue stood before the battle formation, her phoenix eyes burning with the starlight of cause and effect.
Without any preamble, she raised her palm, instantly unleashing her ultimate technique—
"Phoenix Zenith Star Shroud, Everlasting Orbit: The Origin of Eternity"
The Nine-Winged Mystic Phoenix fully unfolded, and the Star Map Domain descended instantly, shattering the enemy's logic field like glass.
The battlefield fell silent, and the causal relationships of the skills on the six Final Wheel powerhouses were marked as "invalid."
Zi Xue stepped forward, her star feathers billowing like a flood, her phoenix cry shaking the heavens.
The enemy was instantly thrown into a state of chaos, suffering from multiple errors including "skill freeze," "skill conversion failure," and "logic deviation."
Two of them had their defensive shells shattered by the immense pressure of the star trails, and they coughed up blood and staggered backward.
Phoenix shadows ignite the realm, starlight presses down upon the cause. With the power of the Silent Origin Initial Stage Realm, the Final Wheel Formation is broken!
But she also knew—this was not the end, but a provocation, the beginning of war.
The opposing team's six players attacked simultaneously in their Final Wheel, their skill combinations intertwining like the echoing of a tolling bell.
"The Re-sealed Era of Collapse: Hunyuan" triggered the "Epoch-Reversing Law Domain," freezing her star map feedback;
"The Arrow of Destiny: The Jinlin" fired three "Fate Orbit Structure-Breaking Arrow," aimed directly at the core of Zi Xue's consciousness;
Meanwhile, the "Knowledge Recorder - Jimo" from the center quietly activated the Fate-Cause Exchange Curse, redirecting the skill she was about to escape back into her own Soul Return Slash.
--The three Final Wheel coordinated their tactics, instantly forming a "life consciousness lock-off structure".
The star feathers exploded, and the phoenix flames went out.
Zi Xue's body flew out horizontally, two of the nine wings of the Xuanfeng were broken, her sea of consciousness trembled, and her soul fire weakened.
She managed to stay upright, her nine wings still burning, but she could only stand with difficulty, her soul pressure on the verge of collapse.
Yunyi made a move
She arrived without a word, her blue hair slightly tossed, her figure floating behind the phoenix.
Seeing that Zi Xue was seriously injured, Yunyi slowly closed her eyes. The next moment, she opened her eyes, and her dark dragon eyes shone with an abyssal light.
She let out a soft moan, then raised her head and let out a roar.
"Dark Abyss Roaring Soul"
The shadow of the Black Abyss Dragon rose from her sea of consciousness, roaring silently, yet shaking the entire sea of time.
All six members of the enemy team were caught in a "soul resonance explosion".
Skill chain oscillations, frequent miscalculations, and causal collapses—like cracks in porcelain, they spread throughout the soul shell.
The one who sealed the technique, Hunyuan, was shaken out of his sea of consciousness and coughed up three mouthfuls of blood.
Jinlin lost control of his consciousness and unleashed a barrage of skills that backfired on him.
Jimo's consciousness collapsed, the incantation was broken, and he was injured by his own incantation.
The enemy's core collapsed in an instant, and the battle was shaken for the first time by the "Non-Annihilationist".
Yan Yue made a move
Yan Yue stepped out slowly, taking a single step into the Battle Heart.
Before she spoke, the dawn had already broken.
With a wave of his hand, white spiritual energy surged through the void.
She gently touched her chest, and starlight dispersed.
A cold, low murmur, "The Endless Dawn Radiance."
The enemy's consciousness was completely stained white; the out-of-control light pierced through the component chains.
Then she lowered her other finger:
"Silent Abyss Returns to One"
The core logic of the battlefield exists independently within her alone.
The skills unleashed by the enemy, like falling into a sea of illogicality, all vanish into Annihilation Abyss and automatically become ineffective.
With the bearing of a "Annihilation Master Initial Stage," he controlled the entire causal field, sealing off three enemies without them moving.
The concept of annihilation descends, forbidding the wind from stilling.
My mind has been emptied.
Deep within the battlefield, Qin Yu walked slowly, arriving without uttering a word.
He looked at Yu Minghuang and said in a flat voice:
"The war you've started is based on the premise that 'you can write us as enemies.'"
He gently raised his right hand, and all things fell silent.
[The initial concept is absolute; not a single thought can be tolerated]
Another enemy soldier broke his chain of consciousness, his life chain turned to ash, and his soul structure burned to ashes.
Yu Minghuang's eyes were gloomy, Supreme power of the Final Wheel spread out endless anti-book chains behind him.
He replied coldly, "You forbid me to conceive of an enemy... then I will compose a chapter without you."
Their eyes met, and the logic of the world trembled. The Final Wheel battle of annihilation law—a direct confrontation.
Before the wind rose, the heavens and earth trembled slightly.
Yu Minghuang took a step forward, his long hair billowing like gray waves, his eyes like a deep, ruthless Boundless Realm.
He wrote without casting spells. The gray and white pen was like the earliest lyricist in Jiyuan, with the word "forget" engraved on it.
"If you won't let me write about the enemy, then I won't write about you—I'll write about the world, 'forgetting your existence.'"
With a flick of his pen, he activated his Final Wheel technique, [Fate-Cause Reordering - Full Recording].
The nine life paths reversed direction, instantly distorting the boundary between friend and foe.
The space where Qin Yu was located was isolated into an "unnameable space"—outside the construct layer.
At the same time, the six Final Wheel powerhouses broke free from the blockade and were empowered by the "Book of the Master Record" to re-edit and empower them.
The Hunyuan activated the "Consciousness-Returning Epoch Law," forcibly restoring its soul consciousness;
Jinlin unleashes "Fate Reforged into Arrows Again," reforging the karmic chain of destiny.
The Jimo chanting resumed, preparing for the second layer of logical curse.
"Annihilation is not divine authority, Qin Yu is not destiny!" Yu Minghuang roared, his pen shattering the gray sky, his ideas returning to the center of control.
At this very moment, the gray-white boundary is about to be fully completed.
Yunyi's wrathful eyes and the Three Souls Descend upon the Severed Realm
"You presumptuously write about the world, but you forget—I was written by him."
Yunyi slowly rose up, standing on the edge between the Gray Book Realm and the Annihilation Threshold.
She slowly opened her right eye.
The three-colored soul rings— Black Abyss, Purple Lightning, and Golden Radiance —spun out, and three dragon shadows roared from the void, tearing through space and encircling his body.
She whispered:
"This is... [Silent Abyss Single Gaze - Three Souls Descend upon the Severed Realm]."
The next instant—heaven and earth stood still, the three realms froze.
Time, logic, and Fate-Cause all frozen in the vision within her eyes.
A single glance fell.
The Black Abyss Hunyuan the Soul Skill's Source, rendering its Soul Skill Chain completely "sourceless".
The conception of the Purple Lightning Jimo Spell was so logical that it was already being devoured before it could even be conceived.
The Golden Radiance Jinlin the future, predefines its existence as a blank slate.
The three of them coughed up blood and retreated, their skills automatically disintegrating and their domains backfiring on them.
Cracks appeared in the Book of the Master Record, Yu Minghuang's pupils trembled slightly.
"This component of yours... is Annihilation Abyss!?"
Yunyi said calmly:
"I am the Origin of the Illusory Dragon Soul... The world you created never granted me the right to exist."
⸻Annihilation Counterattack · The Domain Without a Pen
The Gray Realm has not yet collapsed, Yu Minghuang has not yet been defeated.
The battlefield trembled, and the gray realm receded.
Yu Minghuang stood at the heart of the main record's construct, the Book of the Final Wheel had been turned to its last page, his pen trembling slightly, about to write—
"The Rebellion of Silent Origin: Qin Yu Sets Up as the Main Reason for Creating Enemies"
The battlefield fell silent the instant his pen touched the paper.
A soft sound came from the wind.
"You can write, but you'll have to pay the price."
The next moment--
Qin Yu's right hand was already gripping the sword. The divine sword, without its sheath, rang out on its own, its burning light piercing through the pinnacle of world logic.
Sever the Void in a Single Thought
Cut off all skill starting points of "concept-based creation".
Before the enemy's thoughts Unborn, their consciousness self-destructs; the world views this concept as "logically baseless."
Cracks appeared in the Gray Realm Master Record, and Yu Minghuang frowned. The sentence in his mind's sea of consciousness—"Set Qin Yu as the enemy"—suddenly exploded, the pen broke, the page cracked, and the sentence disappeared.
But Qin Yu did not stop. His sword flashed horizontally, unleashing a second, air-piercing slash:
Sever the Cause, Preventing Birth.
Cut off the causal logic root of the enemy's skills
All enemy-initiated techniques, if they "cannot find a reason to exist" in the world, are automatically withdrawn.
The entire Book of the Master Record burst into flames, along with the skill components and life chains presets of the six Final Wheel around it, all collapsing in an instant.
Souls roared, chains of magical techniques shattered, and beings were deemed "unqualified to cast spells" at this moment.
Yu Minghuang took a half step back, his mind trembled slightly, his robes flew off, and a crack that had never appeared before appeared on his left arm.
Qin Yu simply looked down at him and calmly spoke:
"If you want to execute me—you'll have to withstand the third strike first."
The divine sword is rekindled, its edge now aimed at the "root of records".
Just as the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword cleaved through the Destiny Track of Silent Fire, the edge of the battlefield, the desolate gray earth that resembled an ancient death realm, suddenly trembled violently.
Strands of causal cracks, resembling iron ash, rose from the ground. Yu Minghuang slowly raised his head, his face no longer aged and composed, but rather a solemnity bordering on madness. His aura Supreme the Final Cycle Realm suddenly erupted to its peak at this moment, his soul fire burning the Sea of Logic, the immense pressure like ten thousand Annihilation Star falling to the ground!
"You beings... who defy the order of destiny, should not survive in this 'outside the Epoch Origin '."
[Ultimate Skill: Oath of Heaven's Annihilation - Annihilation of All Tracks] --!
In an instant, six deathly rings emerged from behind him, each a testament to the destruction of an entire era. Using his own "Final Wheel Rank" as the core, he forcibly bound the remnant souls of his six companions, constructing the "Epoch Wheel Final Seal" at the cost of their lives.
The sky cracked open, and countless lifelines turned into gray ribbons that fell, attempting to drag Qin Yu, Yan Yue, Zi Xue, Yunyi completely into the Final Abyss Fate"!
A sense of "the future is dead" permeated the air, even the Star Wancai Key fell silent for a moment, and the logic of the battlefield was about to be forcibly terminated.
⸻Just at the Threshold moment when the collapse of that era was about to arrive--
Yan Yue finally slowly opened her eyes, which reflected "annihilation and primordial light". The Annihilation Dawn Silent Wheel rotated behind her, and a feather-shaped light wheel slowly unfolded. The Annihilation Dawn and the center of the wheel shone brightly, as if awakening the primordial light deep in the endless death realm.
She read aloud softly, "This proposition has never been put forward before."
[Dawn Breath Annihilates Heaven - The Final Wheel Never Returns]--!
Without any movement or spell, the light of dawn tore through the Epoch Realm the moment her will descended.
That was a "definition layer erasure" that transcended all laws, no longer contending with Yu Minghuang nor refuted by logic. Yan Yue completely withdrew his proposition of existence—"Executor of the End of the Era"—from the logic of the world.
The light vanished, and the Dawn Wheel crushed the broken boundary.
Before Yu Minghuang could release the complete oath seal, its very existence was already marked as "a fragment of a concept that never existed."
His voice and image, along with the chain of oath seals, were cast into the end of time by the Dawn Wheel, turning into a point of nothingness, utterly unverifiable.
The battle is over.
The four stood on the Annihilation Ash Plateau, with the remnants of Starfire, Silent Abyss, Dawn, and the Soul-Severing Seal remaining in the shattered realm. They remained silent, yet their silence spoke volumes.
The Source of Epochless is once again engraved—the inconceivable Qin Yu, who cannot be defeated, nor can the name of challenging Yan Yue be written.
As the dawn faded, the battlefield fell silent. Yan Yue still, the Annihilation Dawn Silent Wheel her slowly disappearing into nothingness, as if she had never made a move, only that the world had fallen silent for a moment because of her.
In the midst of this silence, Yunyi couldn't resist opening her arms and leaping to Yan Yue's side, her dragon eyes gleaming with soft starlight:
"Sister Yan Yue was so cool! I swear, that attack was even more explosive than when my three souls resonated! That old gray bone didn't even have time to say a harsh word before you sent him to Cause Annihilation recycling, ahahaha!"
As she spoke, a smile played on her lips, her joy radiating from her very being.
Yan Yue merely nodded slightly, her gaze still fixed on the distant sky, as if confirming whether this shattered realm still harbored any residual logical disturbances.
At this moment, Zi Xue, slightly out of breath, stood amidst the ashes of the Phoenix Feather Starfire, her eyes fixed on Yan Yue silent for a long time. Her mind had not yet fully recovered from the annihilating scene illuminated by the Dawn Wheel —it was not a "victory," nor a "confrontation with the enemy," but rather a destruction that rendered even the concept of the enemy's existence meaningless.
She murmured softly, her words carrying a tremor that seemed to originate from the entire old world:
"So... this is the true 'world of transcendence'...?"
In her mind, she recalled those self-proclaimed supreme beings in her own dimension, such as "Immortal Emperor," "True Immortal," and "Heavenly Emperor," who claimed to rule over all realms and possess unparalleled power. But today—under the light of dawn that annihilated the Supreme Final Wheel lord in a single thought by Yan Yue —their so-called imperial might was as thin as paper.
Zi Xue slowly lowered her head, her fists clenching slightly before relaxing. She knew she had stepped into a truly Limit world, and this was just the beginning.
Behind them, Qin Yu remained silent, but the fading embers of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword and the light of the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram continued to intertwine. Without words, he had already stood at the center of this final battle of logic.
The four exchanged a glance. The wind of the battlefield swept by, seemingly clearing away all the "definitions of battle" from past dimensions, returning them to the void.
The Annihilation Ash Plateau devoid of any enemy presence.
And they are the true core of the Source of Epochless.
