The sword falls into silent emptiness · The clan's name is no more

Amidst the ruins of the Nightmare Main Hall, blood still glistened, and the aftermath of the battle lingered.

At this moment, Qin Yu slowly stood up, his steps steady yet still stained with blood. He wiped the crimson from the corner of his lips, looked around at the Ash Domain, his gaze as deep as the abyss of silence.

"Hmph..." He snorted coldly, "I knew it, the Nightmare God Clan... how could they be so easily Annihilation?"

Before he finished speaking, he flipped his right hand, and a purple-gold life talisman suddenly appeared in his palm.

This talisman does not belong to any known temple seal. Its surface is blank Nameless, yet thousands of faint lines of light rotate around its body, as if it carries the destiny of an era and the power to seal all paths.

Qin Yu slowly closed his eyes, and then--

"Cause-Determining Silent Judgment and the boundary of the Abyss Explosion, it is opened."

"Click--!"

As the life talisman was gently crushed, a purple-gold life wheel that nearly shattered the heavens and earth suddenly rose slowly above the Nightmare God Temple!

It appeared silently at first, but in the blink of an eye, the Annihilation array woven from runes suppressed all structural logic between the sky and the earth like a divine monument!

The Annihilation Heavenly Wheel Array - Purple Gold Life Lock

Ninefold cycle.

One layer seals the Gate of Karma, another locks the source of logic, another seals the realm of reincarnation, another overturns the breath of propositions, another burns the core of destiny, another condenses the lock of origin, another Recognition Annihilation, another reverses the trajectory of existence—at the very top layer, a core of the Annihilation Wheel bearing the character "Silence" appears, and as it rotates, even the "records" of heaven and earth begin to be extracted!

Countless Heavenly Dao-level runes emerged from the void!

"Fate Lock - Cause and Effect", "Chronicle Chain - Abyss Break", "Original Severance - Reverse Structure Symbol", "Silent Wheel - Judgment", etc.

The vortex of reincarnation, the chains of cause and effect, the lines of destiny's choices, the pillars supporting fate, the chains of logic, the very definition of existence... all manifested above the Nightmare God Clan!

At this moment, the fundamental destiny structure, architectural logic, and genealogical cognition of the entire Nightmare God Clan were "slowly pulled into an abyss called 'final silence'" by this formation.

The ground shook, mountains collapsed, divine runes peeled off the temple walls, and all the cores of the array were completely locked by purple-gold runes. The invisible "dream realm defense logic" surrounding the God Clan completely collapsed!

The sky was a dusky purple.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, stretching a thousand miles around the Nightmare God Clan, began to reverse and surge into the formation.

All the surviving disciples in the clan looked up in terror, only to see nine layers of annihilation wheels and layers of divine locks floating above their heads—this was not punishment.

That was a declaration of Annihilation.

At the summit of the Nightmare God Clan's main hall, the Ninefold Silent Wheel spun in mid-air, the sky turning completely into an abyssal purple.

Qin Yu's divine body trembled slightly as he stood at the center of the formation, wielding the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword. He gazed up at the sky, his eyes like falling cold stars, and suddenly roared:

"Everyone—get out of here!!! Now!"

His shout reverberated throughout the entire domain of the Silent Wheel Formation!

Yan Yue, Yunyi, Zi Xue, Extinguished Light, Yao Guangxun, Shu Xunyan, and the three experts at the Only Book Realm immediately understood. Almost instantly, all the allied experts tore open space, using their divine sense shields to evolve into the "Silent Void Shield Domain," drawing upon their own rule power to press against the outer edge, and instantly flashing away a hundred miles from the edge of the formation!

Boom!

A series of dazzling, star-like teleportation streaks ripped through the battlefield, transforming into beams of annihilating light that swept out from the edge of the formation and successfully landed atop the Silent Abyss Star Mountain, thousands of miles away.

And at this moment--

Upon seeing this, the surviving disciples of the Nightmare God Clan and several severely injured elders roared in terror and anger:

"Retreat!! Retreat now!!"

"Quickly! This formation is meant to Annihilation us! Quickly!"

They desperately used all their strength to ascend into the sky with their shields!

However--Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!!

The moment their figures touched the edge of the formation, it was as if they had crashed into a wall of billions of reincarnations, their entire bodies were blasted into blood flowers and runes, and they were sent flying backwards to the ground!

All members of the Nightmare God Clan are trapped within the formation.

Now!

The Nightmare God Clan Chief, a peerless expert at the Annihilation Dawn Realm · Initial Stage, had a completely gloomy expression.

"It was you! It was you who set up this formation!!"

He pressed his palms down on the starry sky, his body reflecting countless shattered "Dream Realm Soul Reflection." Ancient forbidden techniques such as "Logic and Consciousness God-Stripping Diagram" and "Void Cause Form Manifestation Wheel" erupted from his body, constructing a super-god-level, Ultimate Nightmare God Clan's clan-protecting technique:

"Soul Tribulation: Myriad Dreams, Severing Fate, Master of Silent Desolation!!"

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

The very logic of the Nightmare God Clan began to burn!

The sky above the Purple Gold Array suddenly twisted, and a black gold annihilation fire that could destroy billions of soul domains swept across the nine heavens. At that moment, even the "connecting points" of space and time seemed to be cut off!

But, right at this moment--

Qin Yu's eyes darkened, and his consciousness stirred slightly.

The invisible Azure Ring suddenly appeared behind him!

It rotated silently, yet it awakened all the runic structures of the entire Purple Gold Life Lock Array.

Beneath the Azure Ring, the ninefold annihilation wheel seemed to submit; the chains of Fate-Cause and logic actually leaped one by one amidst the azure light!

Qin Yu smiled coldly, "Azure Ring —rise."

That moment--

Azure Ring Six Styles: No Perception, Myriad Extinctions

Between heaven and earth, a clear voice rang out like a divine pronouncement—

"When concepts are severed, all consciousness ceases. You will lose the right to exist in any thought."

In an instant!

The entire Nightmare God Clan suddenly discovered that they were "unconscious of their own continued existence"!

Within their consciousness, the chains of thought began to break.

The soul consciousness began to collapse on its own, even the Nightmare God Clan Chief, an Annihilation Dawn- level being, was stunned!

"No... I'm still here... How... How could I..."

At this time--

Azure Ring, Seventh Form: Realm-Overturning Primordial Cosmos

Qin Yu clasped his hands together and softly shouted:

"World-Covering, the Primordial Era - Beginning."

Instantly!

The core of the entire formation seemed to erupt like a nascent universe!

That is the realm where "concepts have not yet been defined by the world," the Ultimate forbidden zone where "rules have not yet taken shape and causality has not yet emerged!"

All the rules and regulations governing the Nightmare God Clan are beginning to crumble!

All skill logic—returns to the primordial universe;

All basis for existence—referred to as non-existence;

All clan members' names, talents, soul skills, and combat power enhancements—all are nullified!

"Ah--!!!"

Countless members of the Nightmare God Clan screamed to the heavens as their souls crumbled, their bodies disintegrated, and their chains of existence were stripped away inch by inch!

They were as if they had sunk into a dream where "the world Unborn"...

No one can rebuild themselves.

Silence.

That moment.

All the powerful allies who had been escorted a hundred miles away looked up at the formation.

The annihilation array, covering tens of thousands of miles of territory, was awe-inspiring under the Azure Ring light, resembling the "Xingyun of the End God's Punishment"!

Zi Xue couldn't help but tremble slightly:

"This is... Azure Ring... and Elder Brother Yu's resonance... It's a power that seems impossible to be born in this world..."

Extinguished Light's eyes widened in shock:

"No Perception, Myriad Extinctions... the Realm-Overturning Primordial Cosmos... I... I can no longer perceive the 'cause' of the Nightmare God Clan... their 'permission to exist'... is being stripped away layer by layer..."

Yan Yue silent.

She just stared intently at that familiar figure in the midst of the battle.

The moment he resonated with Azure Ring, her three Fate Soul simultaneously trembled slightly.

"... Yu."

--The sky is still.

The purple-gold sky curtain has collapsed. The Annihilation Wheel Formation has shattered.

The entire territory of the Nightmare God Clan was swallowed up by an invisible fire, leaving not even a sound of wind.

In the depths of the void, all structures collapsed completely, leaving no remains, no dust, and not even the "past" could be remembered by heaven and earth.

In the very center of this "land of nothingness," only that one figure remained.

He stood in the utter stillness where all things ceased to exist.

His long, jet-black hair moved without wind, and his robes were covered in the afterglow of azure light and silent patterns. Behind him, the Azure Ring disappeared into the depths of his sea of consciousness, but the aftershocks of that Ultimate summoning still echoed throughout the world.

In his hand was the longsword, still dripping with inky black ink.

The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword.

At this moment, the divine sword, like a blade of heaven and earth's order, completely determined the "qualification for existence" of everything in the world.

The annihilating black flames swirling around it were gradually melting away the very essence of space, completely erasing the world that once belonged to the Nightmare God Clan from the "Epoch Origin Logic".

And he--

It was the "writer" of this book of fate and destruction.

There was no one left in the sky.

The Nightmare Clan, the dozen or so Soul Elders, Severed Observation Realm · Supreme —originally high in the sky—

Does Not Exist at this moment.

Even the coordinates they once occupied were an unrecognizable void, as if they had never left any causal traces in the Source of Epochless.

At this moment, heaven and earth fell silent.

Everything was silent.

Only that one figure remained, standing silently on the Boundless Realm earth.

The azure light faded, the Origin Destroyer was sealed, and the soul remained still.

His eyes showed no excitement, no emotion, only a faint, almost sacrificial utterance:

"Nightmare God Clan-- " "Annihilation."

As those two words fell, the entire world, including the four characters "Nightmare God Clan," was erased Fate-Cause fate, rendered unspeakable and unrecognizable.

Nameless. Rootless. Without the right to be reborn.

The end of annihilation is not death.

Rather, it never existed. The Nightmare God Clan beneath Qin Yue's feet was a desolate wasteland.

The void trembled slightly, Qin Yu's figure, like a streak of light, pierced the sky and instantly Yan Yue and the others.

The moment his foot landed, it resonated with the rhythm of heaven and earth. The entire Heavenly Abyss Realm seemed to still linger with the tremor of destiny brought about by his sword strike.

Now.

The three experts at the Supreme of the Only Book Realm — Yao Guangxun, Shu Xunyan, and Elder Guyuan —stood side by side in the distance. Their eyes were fixed, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and the same shocking thought echoed in their minds:

"This child... has already broken free from the world order."

"That wasn't an accumulation of power, but rather the executioner of destiny's demise..."

"May I ask, Source of Epochless —who else can rival him?"

Before their shock had even subsided, Yunyi rushed over, staring at Qin Yu with adoration. "Wow, Brother Yu! Did you comprehend a new Azure Ring Divine Power? This move is even more explosive than the last 'Silent Realm Returns to the Beginning - Fate's Existence Completely Covers All'! Tsk tsk tsk!"

A slight smile appeared on Qin Yu's lips. Just as he was about to respond, Yan Yue gently grasped his hand, her eyes soft and misty.

"I'm so glad you're back safe and sound."

A single sentence is worth more than a thousand words.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and nineteen streaks of light flew from the distant sky like meteors, landing steadily behind Qin Yu and his group.

It was Ning Hao, one of the nineteen True Immortal Great Emperor who had participated in the Nightmare God Temple assessment, who led the group, and included Golden Immortal Xuanluo, Sage Cangyou, Pei Yuantu, True Emperor Yuance, and others.

As soon as they landed, they saw the battlefield before them, which had once been the main domain of the Nightmare God Clan.

Now only a desolate, empty space remains.

In the void of heaven and earth, there still lingering bands of azure light, the traces of destiny left behind after the Azure Ring Seal annihilated all the Nightmare God Clan.

Their expressions changed instantly, and in that instant, the minds of all nineteen people were shaken violently, causing them to kneel down on the ground!

"Such divine power... is simply unimaginable! Senior Qin Yu... did you truly annihilate the Nightmare God Clan?"

Ning Hao was the first to respectfully kowtow, his tone impassioned, "Senior, all the branch strongholds of the Nightmare God Clan that you marked have been completely wiped out by our nineteen members! A No Consciousness Realm · Middle Stage expert also assisted us during this process."

Qin Yu nodded slightly. "Very good, thank you for your hard work. I understand."

After speaking, he stirred his mind, and a phantom of an Azure Ring appeared above his head. As the Azure Ring rotated, nineteen pills radiating a blue divine light slowly condensed from the void.

That is: Silent Origin Azure Life Pill - Half Crossing the Primordial Chaos

Each divine pill carries the trajectory of fragments of the world and traces of destiny, like a condensed core of the Epoch Origin world!

Qin Yu looked at them, his tone calm yet solemn:

"While this pill cannot directly help you enter the Silent Source Realm, it is enough to allow you to sever the dimensional chains of True Immortal and break into the Primordial Chaos Ancestral God Domain."

"May you, in this Source of Epochless, rebuild your glory with your own strength."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A tremor ran through his mind, causing an uproar among the crowd!

The nineteen True Immortal experts opened their eyes wide at almost the same time, staring at the pill floating in the air. They clearly sensed that... the bottleneck they had struggled to break through for countless epochs of cultivation had actually loosened at this moment!

They were speechless.

All that remains is a deeply sincere bow:

"I will always remember the kindness of my seniors."

"If one day your great realm needs us, a single divine thought is all it takes for us to be summoned, and we are willing to don our armor and fight once more!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu nodded slightly in his mind, and the Azure Ring spun gently.

Beams of divine light rose up, escorting all nineteen people back to their respective Return Path.

Their figures scattered like starlight, leaving only Qin Yu standing behind the masses.

He is --

The Annihilation Abyss Epoch: The Lord of Source of Epochless: The Sword and the Book of Twin Blades.
