Annihilating Silence Like Frost · Snow Falls Without a Sound

The Extreme Silent Source Realm, shrouded in mist. On the battle platform, the aura is as Annihilation as the void.

Yan Yue stepped into the arena, her light-colored veil fluttering around her, her bright eyes gazing calmly ahead. Opposite her, Lan Xuanzhou's forehead creased with battle patterns, and a stream of Nether Lightning flowed from his shoulder, chilling him to the bone.

As Ji Sichen loudly announced the start of the competition, Lan Xuanzhou suddenly stepped into the void and shouted, "Soul Observation - Thunderous Abyss of the Boundary!" The thunderous shadows in his sea of consciousness condensed into a blade and slashed towards the gate of Yan Yue's consciousness core.

Yan Yue's face was ashen, and she merely raised a finger.

"The Annihilation Abyss Opens Silence."

In an instant, the light of dawn, like a wheel, descended and engulfed the thunder soul, swallowing it into the abyss. The thunder blade seemed to have fallen into a bottomless sea, instantly losing all connection and senses.

Lan Xuanzhou's expression changed slightly, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes. He suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, "World Consciousness - Soul Rend -Questioning Array!" The array in the sea of consciousness suddenly opened up nine chains of consciousness, locking down the entire battlefield.

He clearly understood that if he didn't suppress Yan Yue's consciousness domain first, he would have no hope of turning the tide!

"Soul sealed? You're too late."

Yan Yue gently turned her right hand, her eyes lit up with the light of dawn, and her lips parted slightly:

"The Endless Dawn Radiance."

As if billions of stars had fallen upon the Extreme Silent Source Realm, the nine chains of consciousness of the Lan Xuanzhou were forcibly transformed into radiant patterns, rippling like water, completely out of control.

Lan Xuanzhou was startled and immediately shouted, "Activate the Abyssal Boat Descends as a Soul Body!"

His Innate Martial Soul appeared.

It was a shattered ancient ship, inscribed with traces of divine souls. The ship capsized, and a gust of nether wind swept out, as if it were a ferry to the Netherworld, containing terrifying power to destroy souls and shatter consciousness.

Yan Yue remained calm and composed. With a slight movement of her hand, the Annihilation Dawn Wheel Seal slowly rotated behind her, and she pressed down with a single move:

"Dimension-Severing Soul Law."

Click!

Lan Xuanzhou's Innate Martial Soul "Abyssal Boat" suddenly trembled violently, the Nether Wind reversed, and the dimensions of the ship began to distort, as if the fundamental logic that sustained his soul consciousness had been stripped away.

"What?! You... you actually severed my soul's ties!?"

"Your boat was born to escape its fate, and I only need to bring you to a stop."

Yan Yue's voice landed, Xi Guang rolled into the abyss, and Huan Suo Lan Xuanzhou's destiny tracked its path. The Abyssal Boat shattered inch by inch in space, and the chains of light scattered into mist.

Yan Yue did not move an inch, while Lan Xuanzhou's combat power was stripped away layer by layer and his consciousness was devoured.

Yan Yue remained motionless, standing quietly in that seemingly frozen, deep blue void. Her soul robes fluttered slightly, and a wisp of dawn flowed in her palm, dreamlike and ethereal. She gazed at Lan Xuanzhou, who had already unleashed his Innate Martial Soul, her eyes like unmelting ice crystals, cold and composed, utterly undisturbed.

At this moment, Lan Xuanzhou had already entered the extreme state.

The enormous soul shadow behind him became increasingly clear, revealing itself to be an ancient colossus forged from the flow of time and draped in a chaotic cloud robe, with a shattering lightning mark across its brow and soul pressure sweeping in all directions.

That is--

Innate Martial Soul: Nether Radiance Wheel-Breaking Venerable!

On the viewing platform of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch, Extinguished Light's expression shifted slightly. "He actually managed to awaken the Annihilation Lord Realm - Supreme power of the Nether Radiance Wheel-Breaking Venerable? This is a divine soul body born from the broken belt of the previous era's cycle..."

Yunyi glanced sideways and snorted, "Useless. Sister Yan Yue hasn't even made a serious move yet."

In the arena, Lan Xuanzhou spread his five fingers, and Soul Seal suddenly appeared between his brows. "Yan Yue, you've forced me to use my last trump card—"

"--The Reboot of the Underworld Wheel - The Collapse of the Nine Realms!"

Boom--!!

The entire Extreme Silent Source Realm seemed to be smashed by a celestial hammer. The "Nether Radiance Wheel-Breaking Venerable" spread his arms, and nine "Collapse Wheels," formed from the Shatter Cause of different eras, coiled around his body, each corresponding to destruction, fission, temporal collapse, destiny reversal, order distortion, and divine consciousness disorder...

Each of the collapsing seals was flashing with god-level destruction incantations!

"If this Nine Collapses Force were to hit us head-on, even Primordial Void Realm Advanced Stage wouldn't dare to take it head-on!" someone gasped.

Lan Xuanzhou roared, "Break!!"

The nine wheels erupted simultaneously, instantly surrounding Yan Yue's location layer by layer. The thousands of cursed wheels transformed into a superdimensional vortex, pulling at everything in their path.

Yan Yue remained standing quietly, her gaze slowly settling down. In that instant, she finally raised her hand gently, and a mark made of "Yan Lan" appeared on her fingertips, resembling a lotus, a ring, or the first mark of the Soul Realm.

She slowly uttered a sentence:

"Silent Reason and Soul Light: The Annihilation Abyss Opens Silence."

Boom--!!

Endless blue and white soul light burst forth beside her, not through energy confrontation, but through a reversal of rules!

At that moment, Yan Yue reversed her "annihilation concept" to cover the entire field, not "enduring the attack," but directly "canceling the cause of Lan Xuanzhou's attack" from a logical point of view!

The Annihilation Abyss Opens Silence--

It was her oldest and first soul skill that stripped the enemy's skill structure from the very foundation of the battle logic!

The nine strikes landed in this logically annihilated area, as if hitting an eternal Silent Void. The roar was deafening, but they all pierced through the Yan Yue —they didn't hit at all!

"This... she didn't just dodge, she actually... rendered the skill invalid?!" Those in the know exclaimed in shock.

Lan Xuanzhou's expression changed drastically.

"It's not over yet," Yan Yue said slowly.

She took a light step forward, and her second soul skill was quietly unleashed:

"The Endless Dawn Radiance."

In an instant, the sky changed from azure to the white of dawn. At that moment, all the spectators felt their hearts tighten, as if their souls had been awakened and then instantly plunged into an icy abyss!

The Endless Dawn Radiance, the second skill of the Soul of Yan Yue.

When the enemy's skills are ineffective, Yan Yue can call upon the Soul of Dawn to reconstruct the domain, reversing all energy logic paths within the battlefield except for herself to an inactive state!

Lan Xuanzhou's newly reconstructed Soul Skill Chain was instantly annihilated back to its "unactivated" state!

Yan Yue walked towards him step by step, her expression as calm as ever. "Your martial spirit and combat skills have already manifested... while I haven't even used a single soul beast or my natal spirit."

You have already lost.

At this moment, Lan Xuanzhou's mind was completely shaken. He roared and burned his Spiritual Sense, activating the last remaining power in the deepest part of his Soul Sea in one breath, to make a final stand!

He roared:

"Phantom Light's Sever Thought - Time's Destruction of the Heart!!"

The entire "Extreme Silent Source Realm" suddenly froze, then collapsed, as if time had been "severed" from the heavens and earth!

All sound, light, and order were reduced to a "Timelessness state" in this strike!

And Yan Yue gently raised her eyes in that Timelessness space.

She finally raised her hand, transforming the "Dawn Abyss Soul Light" into a sealing seal, and whispered in her soul:

"Silent Abyss Returns to One."

--The soul reverses, the rules return to silence.

A dark blue annihilation mark appeared in her palm, seemingly representing the annotation of "ending the world," and suddenly slammed into Lan Xuanzhou's soul body, which had already been baptized by the annihilation void!

Bang!!!

Lan Xuanzhou's eyes snapped open, blood gushing from his mouth as his body flew out and crashed off the arena, unable to move!

The entire audience was stunned!

After a few breaths of silence, Ji Sichen stood up and announced:

"Round 2, Battle 5! Eternal Evolution Realm Hall - Yan Yue wins!!!"

Yan Yue stepped off the stage, her clothes fluttering, her expression unchanged, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than a simple rehearsal.

She returned to the waiting area of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall, where Zi Xue, Extinguished Light, and Yunyi all smiled at her. Yunyi even secretly gave her a thumbs up and winked at her.

In the [high seats of the stands], after a deathly silence, it suddenly erupted—

"That was... the anti-logic of annihilation components? She's at the Annihilation Lord Realm Initial Stage, right?! She can actually use combat techniques of this level?"

"Are you kidding me? She didn't even use a soul beast or manifest her Innate Martial Soul... and she still beat that guy Lan Xuanzhou?"

"Where did this female disciple come from...?"

Even many powerful palace masters at the Primordial Void Realm frowned and stared intently at Yan Yue.

On the highest viewing platform, Feng Li stared intently at Yan Yue, her fingernails almost digging into her palms.

He said coldly, "Damn woman, how could Annihilation Lord Realm suppress Xuanzhou to this extent... What exactly did she obtain in the Annihilation Abyss Epoch?"

Yu Yuance, standing beside him, narrowed his eyes, his gaze as dark and unfathomable. "It seems... they didn't just leave the Realm Palace during this time, but intentionally improved themselves."

His gaze shifted to Qin Yu, and he said coldly, "Since that kid could easily defeat Yu Cangxu... Yan Yue has also grown to this level, it seems that the position of temple guard will be truly difficult to obtain this time."

"However—" Yu Yuance's eyes turned cold, "Even if they are promoted to temple guards, I have ways to deal with them..."

At the other end of the stands, a figure with black hair, red eyes, and a smile on his lips leaned slowly against the railing, a meaningful curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

True Word Extremity Hall · Mirror Abyss ·Yu.

A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes as he stared at Yan Yue's cold and resolute back. He licked his lips and murmured:

"Yan Yue... you're more interesting than I imagined..."

"How wonderful it would be if I could make you submit and become my soul's servant..."

His eyes gradually darkened, and a hidden soul fire quietly surged behind him.

"Unfortunately... you are destined to be just one of the sparks before I conquer the world."

Just then, in the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall, Shu Xunyan solemnly gazed at Yan Yue, nodded slightly, and whispered to the Master of the Palace beside him:

"If this woman successfully advances, she will become a new pillar of our Realm Palace within a hundred years."

The Chronicle Master smiled and replied, "She is the light of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch, and also the wings of the Source Master's future."

Yan Yue raised her eyes and glanced around. She heard all the noise in the room, but didn't pay it any mind.

She simply walked slowly toward Qin Yu.

Just like before--

On that night when fate tore her apart, she resolutely chose to follow him into the storm of "The Source of Epochless," a place of no return.

Yan Yue, dressed in pristine white, exuded an aura of ice, yet concealed a chilling sharpness that shook the entire audience.

As soon as she sat down, Yunyi leaned in close, her eyes, bright as stars, gleaming with excitement:

"Sister Yue, you're amazing! That 'Silent Abyss Returns to One' move just now turned that guy's defense into stardust. I bet his martial spirit was so scared it disconnected!"

After saying that, she even pretended to imitate Lan Xuanzhou's expression when he was blasted away, which amused Yan Yue so much that she chuckled softly, a rare occurrence for her.

At this moment, Zi Xue also approached from the side, her expression calm but unable to hide the amazement in her eyes:

"If I'm not mistaken, the instant you annihilated the opponent's soul chain, you touched the edge of the Primordial Void Realm's soul pressure."

Her tone was gentle, yet carried an undeniable air of approval:

"Yan Yue, your combat strength is no less than mine."

Yan Yue nodded slightly and replied calmly, "I'm just a little more determined than him."

Zi Xue smiled upon hearing this and said no more.

Extinguished Light stood to the side, watching Yan Yue's returning figure, his tone calm Wenwan:

"Your power has changed; it's no longer just about coldness and destruction... Your current power of annihilation has begun to possess a truly protective warmth."

"This power is no longer just for defeating enemies, but for protecting Qin Yu."

Yan Yue was slightly taken aback, and a barely perceptible ripple flashed across her calm, watery eyes.

Finally, Qin Yu slowly approached, looked at Yan Yue's profile, and nodded gently.

Well done.

"In this battle, you not only defeated your opponent, but also won the peace of mind I longed for."

"Yan Yue, thank you."

Those few words caused Yan Yue's eyes to tremble, as if emotions suppressed for years had suddenly surfaced. She didn't speak, but simply stood quietly beside Qin Yu, shoulder to shoulder with him—

No words were needed, because after that battle, all the proof was already written in her soul skills.

Meanwhile, Lan Xuanzhou, standing in the distant stands, was brought back for treatment, his face pale, his spirit weak, his heart filled with shock and bewilderment.

He couldn't understand why, even after he had exhausted all his efforts to unleash his Innate Martial Soul and Ultimate soul skill, he still hadn't managed to force out even a trace of her Innate Martial Soul's aura.

This battle instilled in him, for the first time, a deep fear of the name "Yan Yue"—

This is not a gap that can be bridged through hard work; it's a precipitous difference in social standing.
