The Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape Axe, which was originally suspended high in the air, had its energy forcefully severed by Qin Yu's move, "Silent Origin - Eternally Sever the Heavenly Balance". The axe patterns rolled back, the soul veins collapsed, and even the "Netherworld Rift Extreme Heaven" mark on the axe handle began to crack faintly!
At this moment, its triple soul eyes stared intently at Qin Yu, who stood in front of it, its pupils filled with disbelief and fear.
--It has never feared any cultivator.
But this person before it... with a single strike, caused its future trajectory to collapse, and without any "logical delay," as if the entire world tacitly agreed that this person could directly and severely injure it.
What kind of cultivator is this...?
The Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape dared not make any more rash moves, and the black flames groaned softly at the edge of its soul wheel. It slowly took half a step back, the nine Soul Seal on its body dimming, and its soul consciousness reorganized, clearly becoming extremely cautious.
At this moment, Luo Guifeng and Lu Feng lay not far away, their bodies battered and their breaths extremely weak.
"Ahem... Junior Brother Qin... What brings you here?"
Luo Guifeng coughed up several mouthfuls of blood with difficulty, and struggled to sit up from the ground. Lu Feng was also shocked but delighted.
Qin Yu walked to their side, his gaze sweeping over the tattered Soul Seal barriers on their chests, his voice calm:
"I traveled from the Corruption Spirit Lake to this point, when I suddenly noticed something strange in the void, so I rushed over to investigate..."
"Unexpectedly, I happened to see you two on the verge of death, while that beast raised its axe to strike."
As he finished speaking, his gaze darkened slightly, and he slowly raised his head to look at the Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape.
That one glance seemed to snatch the "subjectivity" of the world directly from the hands of the Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape.
Luo Guifeng gave a bitter smile:
"If you hadn't arrived in time... we would probably both be buried in the Soul Sea."
Lu Feng also gasped for breath:
"Yes, Junior Brother Qin... you came just in time, we couldn't have withstood that axe blow..."
Qin Yu gazed resolutely at the giant ape in the distance, which was slowly rebuilding its aura, his tone extremely cold:
"Calm down and heal your wounds. -- I'll handle this beast from now on."
Before he could finish speaking...
The Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape, which had been retreating and consolidating its momentum, suddenly had its soul patterns explode!
"You beast?! You keep calling me a beast! How dare you, a mere cultivator of the Epoch Origin, repeatedly humiliate the name of this god!"
A furious roar, like the shattering of the Soul Realm!
The Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape with golden-black soul flames, its three soul wheels spinning rapidly, like a celestial deity that had been thoroughly enraged!
"Since you call me a beast, then experience the agony of being torn apart by the 'God of Evil'!!!"
--At this moment, the will to fight is fully ignited!
Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape, unleashing its furious attack!
The Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape roared furiously, its three Soul Wheels shaking the abyss of time!
"--die!!!"
The Annihilation Axe in its hand, the Netherworld Rift, crashed down with a deafening roar. Where the axe's light passed, the void twisted, and the pressure was as heavy as ten Epoch Origin fields being crushed! And behind it...
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a hundred soul fragments shattered deep within the Black Abyss!
One after another, countless enormous beasts appeared, each one a manifestation of a soul beast at the Origin Abyss level, all controlled by its divine will!
There was Three-Eyed Dragon Crocodile that spewed out black soul lightning, powerful enough to cleave the universe in two;
A Long-Horned Soul-Devouring Eagle flapped its wings, stirring up a spatial chain that shattered space hundreds of feet away;
There is Bone-Feathered Abyss-Devouring Beast, its body like armor, whose roar can shatter the River of Life.
Even more striking were several beasts resembling the structure of Soul Stele, whose trampling caused even the "memory structure" to collapse!
In an instant, the entire battlefield of the Epoch Source Realm seemed to have become a purgatory for soul beasts.
Led by the raging axe of the Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape, a hundred strange beasts simultaneously unleashed their soul skills—
[Recognition-Rending Shockblast]
[Fate Source Bone Piercing]
[Soul Poison Chain Forging]
[Annihilation Shadow Ambush]
[Breath-Extinguishing Wheel Tide]...
Each strike was like a falling galaxy, a sky full of battle techniques, like a thousand armies and ten thousand arts converging into a devastating tidal wave, rushing towards Qin Yu and his companions!
⸻
Luo Guifeng and Lu Feng had just recovered some of their strength when their soul meridians trembled again, their expressions changed drastically, and they couldn't help but roar in anger:
"Oh no! It's too late!!!"
"Too many! Undefendable! This isn't an attack, this is... Realm Devouring!!!"
But, in the next breath...
But they saw that Qin Yu, standing in front of them, remained expressionless.
He slowly raised his head, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand gently Empty Grasp.
--"Clang."
The void trembled, and a black-gold longsword, capable of annihilating all aura, slowly materialized behind Qin Yu.
That sword... was calm, majestic, and ancient, as if it had existed for billions of years, yet it seemed that once drawn, it could annihilate all the causes and effects of the universe.
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword.
Qin Yu gripped his right hand in a reverse grip, slowly pointing the black and gold longsword forward.
Faced with this overwhelming tide of strange beasts, he neither dodged, retreated, nor flinched. His gaze was like looking down upon a flood of wasteland, his lips parted slightly, and his voice was low and deep, yet it penetrated the very depths of his consciousness:
--A Sever the Main Narrative.
Boom!!!
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword resonated instantly!
The torrent of combat techniques in the void—stopped.
The hundred strange beasts that were still roaring, howling, and raging suddenly seemed to have been frozen in place by the "stillness" button pressed by the Heavenly Dao, their eyes filled with incomprehensible fear and disintegration!
Their movements slowly reversed, their skills gradually returned to zero, and the last few soul shadows began to fade away...
--Completely removed from the "Battle Narrative Chapters".
Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape's pupils suddenly contracted:
"What kind of ability is this!? You actually... severed their 'technical structure'!?"
Qin Yu only whispered one sentence:
"You wicked beast, today is your death day."
The raging flames of the Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape instantly ignited!
Under the annihilating blow of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword "Sever the Main Narrative," all the hundred strange beasts it summoned were wiped out, leaving not even a mournful cry. Its soul was violently torn apart at that moment, as if countless fine needles were piercing through its logic of existence at the same time.
"--you!!!"
It roared, and its divine power exploded from its bones, the radiance of annihilation transforming into three layers of soul flames that surrounded its body!
"The Annihilation God’s Furious Shock!"
At this moment, the Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape's entire body swelled three times in size, as if it had stepped into a superdimensional logical structure. Its arms surged like collapsing mountains, and three ancient abyss soul wheels appeared behind it, like a gate leading to the abyss of annihilation. Meanwhile, the Annihilation Axe - Netherworld Rift Heavenly Crack transformed into a Black Abyss axe thousands of feet long, its fierce flames scorching the entire space!
The heavens and earth changed color, and the cycle of cause and effect surged!
It suddenly stomped on the earth, as if shattering the very foundation of the world.
Roar!!!
Axe strikes in an instant!
[Extreme Abyss Realm Breaking] -- The strongest Realm Breaking soul skill of the Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape!
Instead of summoning any more beasts, it unleashed its most powerful Fate Soul Axe Technique at Qin Yu, aiming to completely destroy this being that could even erase the Soul Narrative Chapter!
But Qin Yu remained calm.
He said softly, "Trying to annihilate my life chain?... Then you shall see the true source of the break."
He did not retreat, but instead stepped into the void, and streams of soul energy burst forth from his body.
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword behind him slammed back into its sheath. In the next instant, his five fingers were arranged like stars, soul patterns spread from his palms, and his eyes transformed into the Annihilation Abyss pupils of the Abyss.
"Fate Ring - Linked-Stage Judgment, activated."
The world fell silent instantly. One after another, illusory chains spread from his palm, like life-or-death chains, binding the rules, power, and attack strategies of the entire battlefield.
When the Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape's devastating [Extreme Abyss Realm Breaking] swept towards us...
Click!!!
The entire skill chain was dismantled segment by segment by Qin Yu's Linked-Stage Judgment!
Every axe beam and every layer of soul pressure, upon contacting the area within ten feet of Qin Yu, were instantly frozen as if sealed by a "law ring"!
Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape wielded the axe in fury, but it was as if it had cleaved into the void of the Mirror Abyss; the axe light was absorbed, analyzed, and decomposed by the broken chains...
It roared in astonishment, "You... you actually managed to block the very structure of my axe technique!?"
Qin Yu raised his hand, his five fingers clasped together, and a series of loud noises echoed in the void:
"You are too weak; the next part will be my responsibility to write."
The tide of war turned abruptly.
Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape roared furiously, shaking the sky, its soul fire shattering the heavens. It raised its arms high with the Annihilation Axe - Netherworld Rift, as if it were grasping the severing weapon that held the cause and effect of heaven and earth.
With a thunderous axe strike, a hundred strange beasts roared simultaneously behind him.
Scarlet-Flame Soul-Exploding Beast, Mirror-Bone Spirit-Roaring Hou, Void-Skin Soul-Burning Snake, Recognition-Rending Nether Kun... Each one is a ferocious nightmare beast born from the Logic Shattered Domain, and at this moment they all unleash their battle skills at Qin Yu and his companions!
The heavens shattered in fury, and all techniques boiled!
Soul Burning, Consciousness Locking, Track Destruction, Structure Devouring, Life Severing, Thought Annihilation—hundreds of destructive skill chains poured down as if from countless eras at once, sweeping towards Qin Yu like a torrent!
Luo Guifeng and Lu Feng's expressions changed. They knew they couldn't resist, but they still tried to stand up.
But the next moment-
Qin Yu slowly raised one hand, and a black-gold halo appeared in the center of his palm.
At this moment, there was no Sword Qi, no incantation, only the whisper from his lips, as if his life had been severed:
"--The Silent Principle Void Annihilation Scripture and the Silent Wheel Annihilation Birth."
The world suddenly stood still.
The spinning black-gold annihilation wheel didn't seem to be moving; rather, it seemed to have brought the Logic Origin of the world to a standstill.
It rotates once.
All skills collapsed--
All the beast skill chains were broken from the source logic, as if words were erased, as if cause and effect were torn apart, as if the proposition never existed, and all vanished into Emptiness.
The crimson flames were extinguished, the ethereal serpent turned to ashes, the Nether Kun shattered, and the Soul Hou howled and crumbled into dust.
The entire battlefield, once filled with the whirlwind of beast techniques, instantly vanished into nothingness.
Even the sky turned black, seemingly unable to continue bearing the traces of that structure.
The Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape suddenly stopped, its pupils contracted sharply, its body trembled slightly, and a trace of fear surfaced in its previously fearless spirit:
"You... you... this is impossible... this is not a skill that someone of your level could master!"
But Qin Yu merely took a step forward, sword in hand, his voice cold and sharp:
You are not worthy to know the origin of my renowned skills.
They don't deserve to live either.
The black and gold light spun again, and Qin Yu's spiritual pressure suddenly surged to its peak. He raised the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword and pointed it directly at the brow of the Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape!
--The real battle to the death has only just begun!
The battlefield Ji Ran.
After the Hundred Beasts Technique Tide was completely wiped out by [Silent Wheel Annihilation Birth], the world seemed not yet to have recovered from that moment of "logical collapse".
The wind stopped, the soul light collapsed, and the Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape stood in the center of that destruction, its eyes trembling violently—a fear of existence it had never felt before.
"You... what exactly are you...?" Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape's voice was low, hoarse, and heavy, almost a murmur. "This is not a power that should exist in the Origin of the Epoch Origin."
It finally realized that it was not facing an ordinary cultivator, but an awakening—the World's Source!
But the response it received was Qin Yu's emotionless voice:
You don't need to know who I am.
"All you need to know is that there is no place for you in this world anymore."
Having said that, Qin Yu slowly stepped forward, and the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword silently rose horizontally. On the blade, divine runes appeared, engraved with the [Fate Ring - Linked-Stage Judgment] Severance Lock Seal, also wrapped with silent light patterns, like death text:
"--The Recognition Annihilation Law Severance."
In an instant! The silent light exploded!
That was the most terrifying Ultimate execution technique from the [Silent Principle Void Annihilation Scripture], and also the attack that Qin Yu currently possesses that is "closest to the Godhood of Destruction".
--It does not sever the soul, destroy the body, or defy logic.
--It severs "consciousness".
The Recognition Annihilation Law Severance, once unleashed, completely severs the enemy's [consciousness of existence], leaving no "consciousness to grasp."
The Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape trembled violently. It saw that Qin Yu was no longer in human form, but a twisted, black-gold annihilation construct, its pupils like the shattered chains of abyss...
A sword slashed out.
Silent and Wuhen.
But the next moment, the massive body of the Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape suddenly froze. Its huge ape body could not move, and its soul consciousness was as if it were nailed to the void by invisible divine chains.
"... What... did you do...?"
It didn't finish its story.
A crack appeared between its brows, and then with a loud "boom," its entire sea of consciousness shattered like a mirror, collapsing layer by layer from the center outwards!
Consciousness collapses, soul disintegrates, logic is cleared, and divine consciousness is severed.
The ancient god-like body of the Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape, which was said to have an indestructible soul, was now weathered and annihilated like dust, leaving not even a trace of death.
It didn't die; rather, it was "removed from the world's logic of recognition."
It never existed here.
The Recognition Annihilation Law Severance severs all enemy consciousness, rendering all existence impossible to be "observed by the world."
The wind rises.
Qin Yu slowly sheathed his sword, exhaled a breath of stale air, and spoke:
"You shouldn't have provoked me, and you shouldn't have appeared in this Epoch Realm."
Behind them, Luo Guifeng and Lu Feng witnessed the whole thing. Their eyes were filled with indescribable emotions, as if they were not looking at a "temple guard" but at an Ultimate divine judge walking on the edge of death.
That concludes the discussion.
--The Annihilation Thought Heaven-Buttressing Ape, utterly Annihilation!
