Extreme Breath Abyss Explosion · Dragon Xiao Breaks Sheng
Above the Eternal Abyss Fate Platform, space seemed to stand still.
Countless disciples held their breath, watching the man in the center of the sky, dressed in a long robe with black and gold patterns— Ji Sichen.
With a wave of his right hand, several golden rays emerged from his palm, transforming into a recording screen, and a booming sound reverberated throughout the arena:
"Results of the first round announced--"
[Mirror Abyss Yu wins one game | Lan Qisheng loses one game]
[Lan Xuanzhou- One victory | Xiao Heng - One defeat]
[Si Xunmo- One victory | He Liusha - One defeat]
[Yan Yue- One victory | Luo Guifeng- One defeat]
Qin Yu: One victory | Yu Cangxu: One defeat
The light screen trembled, and the names of the five victors appeared in gold, like monuments of battle intent etched into the Abyss of Fate Sequence!
Ji Sichen's voice rang out again like a night bell:
"According to the promotion rules for the guardian disciples of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall Temple: a total of ten people will participate in this Abyss of Fate Sequence, which will be conducted through a points-based elimination system."
"Each person will take turns fighting one of the remaining nine people, with each battle determined by drawing lots. A best-of-five series will advance, while a person who loses three consecutive series will be eliminated and lose their qualification for promotion to Eternal Guard."
As the announcement fell, the life sequence disc in the air began to spin again.
That was a causal cycle judgment array constructed by [Realm Abyss Heavenly Law], personally set up by [Shu Xunyan], one of the three decrees of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall.
The names of the ten beginner disciples reappeared on the disc, as if their destinies had been reshuffled. Amidst the attention of everyone, the second round of drawing lots began.
Beams of light shot out from the CD, randomly selecting names!
As the ten beams of light solidified, Ji Sichen announced in a loud voice:
⸻
The second round match order is as follows:
1. Qin Yu VS He Liusha
2. Yan Yue VS Lan Xuanzhou
3. Mirror Abyss Yu VS Luo Guifeng
4. Si Xunmo VS Yu Cangxu
5. Lan Qisheng VS Xiao Heng
⸻
The audience erupted in uproar, a series of shouts rang out:
"Qin Yu has run into He Liusha... that's the 'Soul Rend' of the Silent Retrospection True Hall!"
"Yan Yue is facing off against Lan Xuanzhou? Both of them have won one match; this battle is crucial!"
"Mirror Abyss Yu versus Luo Guifeng... a Limit clash between logical judgment and the law of spatial annihilation!"
"Looks like this round is even tougher than before..."
Meanwhile, Yu Yuance, sitting in the audience, smiled slowly, "It gets more and more exciting as it goes on... Qin Yu, let's see how far you can last."
As the light shines down, the second round of [The Abyss of Fate Sequence] officially begins.
The Light Order Corridor, with its flowing light like chains of order, and thousands of pillars of light hanging in the void, makes the world seem like inverted starlight, and space and time intertwine like a mirror. This place is one of the battle arenas with the most luminous field of light in the Source of Epochless ", and can fully manifest every detail when soul power and rules intertwine.
Two figures slowly stepped into the core of the corridor.
Lan Qisheng, the core of the battle formation of the Realm Origin Awakening Hall, had sharp eyes like an abyss. His folding fan was not open, but the rules around him were already humming softly. On the other side, Xiao Heng, the fighter from the Bewildering Heaven Hall, was wearing a dark gray battle suit. His face was as cold as a ghost, and his soul aura was like a ghostly shadow behind him. He walked steadily, but his killing intent was gradually emerging.
"Round 2, Match 1: Realm Origin Awakening Hall · Lan Qisheng VS Bewildering Heaven Hall · Xiao Heng!" Ji Sichen's voice echoed in the sky.
"Release your Martial Soul," Xiao Heng whispered, and instantly, a deep abyss storm swept out from beneath his feet.
In an instant--
[Xiao Heng - Innate Martial Soul: Nether Evolution Xiao Soul]
A colossal skeletal figure rose from behind Xiao Heng, with two horns on its head, a soul chain around its body, and runes on its chest that moved like ghostly curses. It was none other than the source of the "Xiao" lineage of the Bewildering Heaven Hall — the Nether Evolution Xiao Soul!
A howling wind swept through the Light Order Corridor with a chilling bluish-gray hue, and even the once clear light became dim and blurred. Xiao Heng slowly reached out and grasped, a blade shaped like a withered bone materializing in his hand. His voice was like a vengeful ghost's whisper, "Light? Tonight, it will transform into the Abyss of Xiao."
Lan Qisheng, however, remained as composed as ever, unfolding his folding fan.
"Looks like... I need to be a little more serious."
[Lan Qisheng - Innate Martial Soul: Star Law Realm Diagram]
Starlight suddenly burst forth from the unfolded folding fan, and a vast curtain woven from star charts spread across the sky, with star trails flowing and countless patterns of destiny flashing on it. The entire Light Order Corridor was sealed off by that curtain, as if it were the very source of astral laws capable of altering order!
Lan Qisheng in a low voice. "At the boundary of star laws, rank and life are determined by execution—[Star Awakening Sealing Array]!"
The star map collapsed! Dozens of "starlight slashes" suddenly descended from above the Light Order Corridor, each one as heavy as a railway track, sealing Xiao Heng and his Nether Evolution Xiao Soul within!
Xiao Heng's expression remained unchanged. His spirit roared, and the soul chains vibrated. "[Netherworld - Wheel of the Rift]!"
The soul chain, like a ring, flew through the air and collided fiercely with the starlight's trajectory!
Bang bang bang!!!
The Star Slash shattered, the Soul Rings broke apart, and the entire Light Order Corridor erupted with violent energy ripples, shaking the audience!
"They actually withstood Lan Qisheng's star orbit suppression?"
"Xiao Heng is really good at hiding his true abilities!"
Amidst the interplay of light and dark energy, the two figures streaked and collided in the air. Amidst the surging aftershocks, the spectators felt the intense pressure of what appeared to be an unleashed full power!
This battle is far from over.
Starlight cascaded like waterfalls, and soul chains stretched like abysses. With their two Innate Martial Soul unleashed to their Ultimate, the entire Light Order Corridor had been completely transformed into a battlefield where destiny and the Netherworld Demon clashed!
Lan Qisheng suddenly unfolded the star fan in his hand, and the star map on the fan surface suddenly collapsed, turning into millions of "Fate-Path Star threads" that entangled the heavens and earth.
He hissed:
"Second Technique - [Starfall Trajectory Breath]!"
The entire Light Order Corridor seemed to have been drawn into another galactic spacetime. Those star threads carried the power of "time flow" in the Light Rank field, like layers of fate cutting through the rails, layer by layer, blocking and slashing down on Xiao Heng.
--Each one carries the real power of "orbital soul locking". If you are hit, not only will your soul be damaged, but you may also lose control of your Innate Martial Soul on the spot!
Xiao Heng's gaze suddenly darkened, and with a stomp of his foot, the Nether Evolution Xiao Soul let out a strange roar!
"Xiao Yuan's Life-Severing Strike - The Moment of Soul Devouring!"
A gray-purple soul domain suddenly expanded, and the nether energy poured in like a tidal wave, swallowing all the star threads into nothingness. Just as the star threads were about to touch his body, Xiao Heng's figure vanished from the spot in an instant!
The next moment--
Boom!!!
Xiao Heng suddenly appeared out of thin air behind Lan Qisheng, his withered bone soul blade scythe-like in shape, slashing down fiercely. "[Nether Breath Fate Sundering]!!"
Lan Qisheng frowned, his body instantly flashing backward, his feet barely touching the ground as starlight gathered!
"Third Form: [Star Law Reverse Judgment]!"
Boom!
A golden-white starlight halo appeared beneath their feet, sealing the entire attack within the star map. Xiao Heng's Nether Soul Blade pierced the star array, but seemed to be trapped in a swamp of fate reversal, forced to slow down by half a breath!
--Just this half-breath!
Lan Qisheng turned around and swung his fan, a "Heavenly Balance Law Seal" formed from starlight struck Xiao Heng squarely in the chest!
"Ugh!" Xiao Heng groaned and flew backward, crashing heavily into the middle of the Light Order Corridor. The surrounding soul energy fluctuated violently, and Nether Evolution Xiao Soul even blurred for a moment!
The stands erupted in uproar!
"Lan Qisheng is too strong! His Star Law Soul Diagram doesn't give Xiao Heng a chance to engage in close combat at all!"
"But Xiao Heng is no pushover either. That was just... a spatial shattering step? Instantaneous disappearance?!"
Just then, Xiao Heng slowly stood up, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but there was no sign of retreat in his eyes.
He looked up at the sky, his voice low and menacing:
"Lan Qisheng... you've forced me to use my deepest soul skill."
He suddenly spread his arms wide, and the Nether Evolution Xiao Soul exploded into millions of soul threads behind him, making him look like a lord of the abyss of hell!
At the same time, the space above the Light Order Corridor seemed to be swallowed up, with large areas of light rank breaking and dark abyss eroding, as if another realm of dark hell abyss had been opened!
"Xiao Yuan - Soul-Severing True Form!"
The entire corridor suddenly transformed into Ash Abyss, and a true "Xiao Soul Master Body" rose from his body!
--This is no longer an external manifestation of the martial spirit, but a true "Fate Soul embodiment" that resonates with the body!
Lan Qisheng's gaze sharpened slightly, and he slowly closed the folding fan in his hand, saying in a low voice:
"Since you, Xiao Heng, have gone this far... then I can't hold back either."
He raised his hand and waved, and the Star Law Realm Diagram fully opened above his head, revealing a magnificent spectacle composed of a triple structure of "orbits, life chains, and stellar laws" that slowly rose up:
"Ring of Fate Awakening - Primal Form of the Realm"
At this moment, the two men's momentum exploded to its peak.
Star Orbit versus Abyss, Fate Orbit versus Soul Chain!
The Ultimate impact... is about to begin!
Boom boom boom boom!!!
The entire Light Order Corridor has now been completely transformed into a realm where destruction and destiny intertwine.
Xiao Heng's true form merged with "Xiao Yuan - Soul Severing True Body", and the Netherworld Soul Domain transformed into a real Ash Abyss Space, actually devouring the original rule battlefield and turning it into "Xiao Heng's unique Soul Judgment Battle Domain"!
His voice echoed like a bell from the Nine Nether hell:
"Lan Qisheng, this is my, Xiao Heng's, Soul Judgment Abyss Prison. Your Star Orbit... has nowhere to escape!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Heng suddenly clasped his hands together. Behind him, the Xiao Soul opened thousands of soul locks, like whips and chains, carrying the soul-devouring aura of the Ash Abyss. In an instant, they swept over, as if the entire world was bound by this Soul-Severing Net!
At this moment, Lan Qisheng had already closed his eyes.
"The Ring of Fate Awakening-- "
He whispered something, and slowly pointed his finger towards the sky!
The next moment--
Boom!!!!!
A series of interconnected "Fate-Trajectory Star Array" rose from his body, like a giant star bell ringing in the void, and the laws of the entire Light Order Corridor began to distort!
"Ultimate Skill: [Star Trajectory Main Ring - Judgment of the Law Abyss]!"
At this moment, the entire "Xiao Heng Soul Domain" was forcibly pulled back into the star orbit system!
Countless star trails and chains of light descended from the sky, intertwining to form a ring of destiny, like thousands of heavenly laws binding the soul, descending from the heavens to collide head-on with the Netherworld Demon's True Soul!
"Come on!!" Xiao Heng roared, his soul-binding chains clashing head-on with the Star Orbit Celestial Judgment like a demonic whale swallowing the abyss!
Rumble rumble rumble--!!!
Fate and the spirit, every bit of power carried the shattering echoes of the world's logic! Space shattered, dimensions distorted, even the audience seats were impacted, and shimmering light intertwined, forcing many disciples to barely watch the battle through a light screen.
Even high-ranking individuals like Shu Xunyan and Ji Sichen in the stands focused their attention:
"This is... a battle between two beginner disciples?"
"Lan Qisheng's destiny trajectory... is already approaching the realm of boundary construction."
"Xiao Heng even summoned his 'Xiao Soul Origin' form... They are far beyond what can be described as ordinary beginner-level battles."
Boom!!!
The Ultimate technique clash reaches its peak.
Finally, after a cataclysmic upheaval—
The Ash Abyss Soul Domain began to crumble, and the Netherworld Demon's True Soul let out a final, mournful roar before turning into a phantom and shattering!
The star trails and halo dimmed, Lan Qisheng staggered back three steps, his expression slightly pale.
Xiao Heng crashed heavily to the ground, his chest charred black, his consciousness disordered, and he completely lost his ability to fight!
Silence.
Then--
"Lan Qisheng wins."
Ji Sichen's voice slowly faded.
Thunderous applause filled the entire Abyss of Fate Sequence!
Although Xiao Heng was defeated, he displayed astonishing depth with his "Xiao Abyss - Soul-Severing True Body," earning the attention of the Source Palace experts.
Lan Qisheng's "Star Trajectory Main Ring" was privately recognized by Ji Sichen as a "Destiny Track Constructor" with great potential for development;
After the battle, Lan Qisheng glanced softly at Xiao Heng, cupped his hands, and said, "You are very strong. I admire you."
Xiao Heng nodded with a wry smile, struggling to his feet. "My loss... wasn't unjust."
