True Name Revealed · Qin Yu Steps into the Array

Source of Epochless, Nightmare God Temple, Ninth Main Domain, Soul-Executing Altar.

Before dawn, the sky was as dark as ink.

However, in this dark morning, in the heart of the Nightmare God Temple's back mountain, above a vast obsidian rift, a radiant altar array suddenly appeared.

This formation is called:

The Soul-Executing Altar.

The altar, like a giant hand covering the sky, rises from the earth's veins. Below it are forty-nine Silent Origin -sealing veins, and above it are the six soul star orbits of the heavens. The entire structure is like a "Fate Soul chain net," anchoring the True Immortal souls selected from all dimensions.

And at the heart of the formation--

Twenty soul platforms, arranged in a circular pattern.

Each Soul Platform floats atop a three-zhang-high "Soul Annihilation Platform," its base inscribed with "Soul Sacrifice Script" from the Ancient Source Realm. At its core lies a slot for a bronze-level disciple's token; once the token is inserted and the soul consciousness enters the array, the entire "Soul Master Wheel" will be activated.

At this moment, a full twenty True Immortal Great Emperor had gathered below the stage.

They came from either the Immortal Ancient Era or the Asura Border; some were Golden Immortal Saints clad in divine armor, while others were Dao Ancestors and Immortal Emperors wielding Dao tablets.

Some of them closed their eyes to rest, while others scanned the surroundings with their spiritual senses, but each of them harbored a strange light in their eyes.

That wasn't calm, it was waiting.

Waiting for the right moment.

They await the true "signal to break the deadlock" from the person who had already informed them.

On the east side below the stage, a young man dressed in a white patterned Daoist robe stood beside the Canghun Stone Pillar, his eyebrows like stars.

His expression was calm, but a deep, dark glint flashed in his eyes.

This person was none other than Qin Yu, who used the alias "Qin Ning".

He gazed at the line of Soul Platforms, his eyes sweeping over the nineteen awakened "Soul Sacrificers."

They did not coordinate beforehand, nor did they communicate using any body language.

But only they know this:

"One command to break the lock, and the entire system will be overturned."

Qin Yu murmured softly, his gaze sharp as a blade:

"The Three-Soul Sacrificial Array... You've been setting this up for a thousand years, it's time to end it."

High in the sky, dozens of the Nightmare God Clan gathered together.

The leader was none other than the Soul Master, Silver-Winged Soul Observer Yu Xu, with seven purple-robed elders standing behind him, one of whom was Wang Chi No Consciousness Realm · Middle Stage elder who had observed Qin Yu that day.

Wang Chi narrowed his eyes as he looked at Qin Ning below the stage, still unable to hide his subtle feelings:

"The soul pressure... has not reappeared."

"Was he hiding his true nature too well, or... was he truly just a lucky person whose fate brought him together?"

Before he could draw a conclusion, Silver-Winged Soul Observer Yu Xu loudly announced:

"All you True Immortals, having crossed dimensions to arrive here and bravely passed through three trials, are truly extraordinary."

"The Soul-Gathering Ceremony officially begins today."

"Please take your seat on the Soul Platform and embed the token with your divine sense."

In an instant, the twenty True Immortal Great Emperor stepped onto the Soul Platform without making a sound.

As the last person stepped into the formation, the entire Soul-Executing Altar trembled slightly for a moment, and purple-black soul chains appeared in the sky, slowly descending.

The big picture is finally unfolding!

On the Soul-Executing Altar, twenty True Immortal Great Emperor stood one by one on their respective Soul Platforms.

At that moment, the entire array field resounded like a great bell, all was silent, except for an uneasy silence that echoed between heaven and earth.

At this moment, their expressions were calm, indifferent, or slightly furrowed, but not one of them took a single step back.

Only they knew that the real test was not on the altar, but behind it.

High in the sky, Silver-Winged Soul Observer Yu Xu slowly raised his hand.

"The battle begins."

His voice was calm, with the composure of a judge, but the next second the entire altar seemed to be instantly awakened like a slumbering behemoth.

Rumble!!!

Chains of dark purple souls descended from the void, falling from all directions. Each chain was accompanied by inscriptions of "logic mechanism locks," as if they were not chains but "decrees of fate," directly striking the very essence of the soul consciousness of every True Immortal Great Emperor.

"What is that?!"

"Such a strong sense of suppression... This is..."

The disciples watching from below the stage had no time to react.

The seven elders of the Nightmare God Clan in the sky all revealed sinister smiles.

Wang Chi, who was in the lead, said in a low voice:

"Once the Soul-Locking Sacrifice Inscription is engraved, there is no turning back."

Another elder grinned:

"The soul that transcends dimensions is truly nourishing."

At this moment, the voice of Yu Xu, the Silver-Winged Soul Observer, finally descended slowly through the rolling divine power:

"Thank you for offering your most precious souls and life essence to my Nightmare God Temple."

His face was expressionless, but his tone was as cold and sharp as a bleeding knife.

"The Nightmare God Temple will never forget your 'contributions'."

--The next moment!

He suddenly swung his sacrificial finger down!

The entire Soul-Executing Altar trembled violently!

Great Soul-Devouring Array activated!

Forty-nine Black Abyss Soul-Seizing Patterns rose from the bottom of the array platform, simultaneously connecting with the twenty Soul Chains in the air. In an instant, it was as if a beam of soul-piercing light shot out from both ends of heaven and earth, aiming to completely anchor, refine, and devour these twenty True Immortal Great Emperor!

However.

--"Click--!!!"

A sudden mutation occurred!

Just as the soul chain was about to completely fall into the Soul Sea of the twenty True Immortal—

"Click! Click! Click!!!"

All twenty soul chains simultaneously, without warning, and in an extremely bizarre way, shattered inch by inch in mid-air!

Without bias, the point of failure is always at the intersection of "soul anchoring" and "logical contact"!

Those fragments of soul chains inscribed with "Chain of Obtaining Causes" turned to ashes in the air, vanishing like ash from a catastrophe, completely out of control!

The altar roared, and the soul chains shattered!

The seven Nightmare God Clan elders in the sky—all of them changed color!

Yu Xu could even finish his hand seal, his expression suddenly froze, and a look of disbelief surged from the corner of his eye.

"... What?! Impossible!!"

Wang Chi suddenly took a step forward and growled:

"Who tampered with the chain node?!"

Who is it?!--

In the short span of a few breaths...

The twenty True Immortal Great Emperor, who were originally regarded as "soul sacrifice offerings," remained unchanged in expression, only raising their heads with cold gazes.

One of them spoke softly:

"... The Nightmare God Temple, is it finally over?"

The formation remained intact.

But it was already the beginning of a reverse collapse.

The silence that followed the breakage of the altar's soul chain lasted only a brief moment.

The next instant, the entire Soul-Executing Altar began to shake violently!

The Soul-Locking Chains of the Formation's Origin Lost Their Anchoring Foundation, and the "Soul-Seizing Circuit," originally used to absorb soul consciousness, instantly backfired. Countless intertwined soul chains appeared in the Soul-Devouring Array, entangled and torn apart, as if the entire "Soul Consciousness Logic Formation" had been subjected to an indescribable internal error command!

Dark clouds surged in the sky, and the earth's Spirit Root veins snapped!

The expressions of the ten elders of the Nightmare God Temple changed drastically.

"Quickly! Suppress the core of the main formation!"

"Reforge with the Lock of the Silent Universe! Quickly!!"

"Everyone, give it your all! Hold the line!"

One after another, figures in purple robes suddenly flew out, forcibly injecting the power of Soul Annihilation, attempting to regain control of the altar.

However, they were too late.

The residual pressure from the broken chains of Fate Soul instantly surged forth like a tidal wave, forcibly pushing the ten elders back!

In particular, the "Life Origin Core" located in the center of the altar was filled with countless Cause Splitting characters in the blink of an eye, as if someone had tampered with the "deep logical structure of the array patterns".

Boom!

The entire altar suddenly caved inward!

The binding structure centered on the Soul Platform collapsed like a star ring whose supporting chain had broken!

"Boom boom boom boom--!!!"

The hundreds-of-foot-wide Soul-Gathering Stone Steps collapsed directly into the cliff, and countless high-level rune bones and sacrificial array foundation pillars shattered in the explosion!

At this moment, the True Immortal Great Emperor who were originally seated on the Soul Platform all rose into the air, their expressions cold and stern, and they were all in perfect unison.

And at this very moment—

On the central Soul Platform, Silver-Winged Soul Observer Yu Xu's face was ashen as he was about to exert his strength to stabilize the remaining nodes of the platform.

Suddenly, an extremely cold and furious roar exploded from the sky above:

"Oh no—retreat immediately!!"

--It is the Ninth Chief Soul Elder, Wang Chi!

He was originally sitting cross-legged in a corner of the soul-sacrificing array high in the sky, but now his expression was terrified, and his soul power was surging like a tide.

He had lost all composure and even the dignity that an elder should have possessed; he roared and howled like a frightened tiger.

"This isn't as simple as a broken soul chain!!"

"This is a... sacrificial array reversal!!!"

His voice resounded through the heavens, causing the world to freeze in shock!

Before the words had even finished --

Boom!!!

The entire Soul-Executing Altar collapsed completely due to the backlash from the Soul Chain's reversal!

The massive obsidian rift suddenly opened like the gates of hell, and a soul pressure thousands of feet high shot into the sky, blasting the center of the altar into pieces!

The platform shattered, and the runes ignited!

The "Interdimensional Soul-Binding Array" constructed by the Nightmare God Clan over thousands of years is now...

Utterly annihilated!

The ten elders in the sky all coughed up blood and flew backwards for hundreds of feet!

Wang Chi glared angrily, but didn't have time to say another word.

Because--

They saw it!

Within the flying ash sacrificial patterns, those so-called "soul sacrifice materials" they spoke of already stood atop the sky, nineteen True Immortal Great Emperor standing side by side, and the white-robed youth at the very center finally...

He stepped out slowly.

His tone was as light as a sword, as clear as a revelation:

"I've said it before—the sacrificial scheme you've set up should come to an end."

Boom--!

As the dust settled, the aftershocks of the shattered Soul-Executing Altar still lingered in the air, and countless annihilating soul patterns scattered in all directions like a black tide. At the center of those trembling soul patterns, a young man in white robes stood proudly.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the ten severely injured and furious elders of the Nightmare God Temple.

His footsteps seemed to leap into the air.

--The figure that was originally named "Qin Ning" has finally dropped his disguise!

His eyes shone with a desolate, Star Abyss, and his divine sense shifted in an instant! His pale face was as white as snow, yet it carried an undeniable, overwhelming pressure of annihilation!

The air around him flickered, and in an instant, his entire "conceptual logic" was completely reversed—

The logic behind Qin Ning's identity as the True Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Antiquity Era has collapsed!

Instead, the true name was engraved on the Nightmare God Clan ' "Top of the Must-Eliminate List"!

--Qin Yu!

A wave of Fate Soul, resembling the Silent Beginning spirit, swept across the soul realm, causing the residual pressure of the ninety-nine layers of array chains to explode!

He raised his hand and gently clenched it; from within the black flames, a sword blade gleaming with a pale blue, extinguishing light slowly emerged.

The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword!

"The Nightmare God Temple has set up a soul-sacrificing array, deceiving us, beings who transcend dimensions..."

"They also attempted to plunder the Fate Soul essence from the Source of Epochless."

Qin Yu's gaze turned icy as he swept his eyes over the Nightmare God Clan elders high in the sky:

"Then today, I will personally Annihilation this altar, along with your greedy illusions!"

At this moment, above the remnants of the altar, the Ninth Chief Soul Elder, Wang Chi, stared intently at Qin Yu.

His pupils dilated violently, and despite the blood still being wet on his face, he burst into laughter:

Hahahahahaha!!

"Oh, Qin Yu!! So it was you!"

His laughter was laced with disbelief and gritted teeth.

"My Nightmare God Clan mobilized the entire race to construct an array, offering soul-locking sacrifices, and plotting for centuries—never imagined that it would be your sins, accumulated over a century, that would shatter everything I had!!"

"I searched high and low without finding it, only to discover it right there on the altar!"

Wang Chi suddenly raised one arm, his entire soul surging violently as he summoned the Annihilation Void Soul Blade.

Shouting angrily:

"You've walked right into our trap, so don't even think about getting out!!"

"Die!!"

With a thunderous shout, the ten elders of the Nightmare God Temple simultaneously unleashed their divine power, attempting to join forces to seal off the entire Remnant Sky Battle Domain!

But they forgot.

At this moment, Qin Yu was no longer the outsider who had just arrived at Epoch Origin.

He is the Annihilation Abyss Epoch Master.

It is the Silent Beginning Ring Master.

He is the one who breaks through the Nightmare Soul-Hunting Scheme and reverses the causal structure!

He gently flicked his sleeve, Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword slowly pointed diagonally at the earth, whispering:

"The moment I stepped into the illusion you had created, your dream had already ended."

"The ones who will truly Annihilation... will be you."

--The annihilation pressure has begun; the battle to break out is about to commence!
