Annihilating Light Descends upon the World · Twin Locks of Consciousness Destruction
The air was slightly chilly, and the mountains trembled with snow. In the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm, an ancient plain where ice crystals and starlight intertwined, clouds and mist swirled, and time and space seemed to weave together.
Just after Qin Yu and his group of six subdued Yi Xuanyan, they continued flying north for tens of thousands of miles, passing through a spiritual valley shrouded in pale blue mist—
Suddenly.
Yunyi's brow twitched slightly, her butterfly wings trembled, and a glint of crystalline blue soul markings flashed in her eyes. She abruptly turned her head, her gaze sharp as a mirror. "There's killing intent—coming towards us."
Yan Yue's gaze was calm, a serene light flickering at her fingertips. "The distance... is less than a hundred miles."
Extinguished Light remained unmoved, a light blade materializing in his sleeve as he calmly stated, "They're not here for us... they're chasing us."
Whoosh--!
The next breath.
Suddenly, a rainbow-like line of snow broke through the distant sky, and a woman dressed in a light snow-white veil flew rapidly from the extreme sky. Snow spirit star patterns surrounded her, and her silver-blue hair danced like flowing clouds in the night. Hundreds of miles of snow mist churned behind her, and her feet trod on light traces like shattered stars, as if the entire sky had been frozen.
"So beautiful..." Si Yehan murmured, lost in thought.
"She's on the run." Wang Long frowned. "Someone's chasing her."
The woman was getting closer.
Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her skin as smooth as ice, as if sculpted from millennia-old jade. Sorrow and anxiety lingered in her eyes, and every step she took into the air, every spur of snow flying, Ultimate embodied her freedom and solitude, belonging to no one faction.
Her clothes were torn by the wind, and a crack on her shoulder, shimmering with ethereal energy, revealed glistening blood. Yet she bit her lip and remained silent, her only thought being to break free from the six increasingly approaching killing intents behind her.
Finally--
Just as she was about to fall into the Ice Spirit Valley below, the world in front of her trembled slightly.
The six auras rose slowly like the Lord of the Realm Sea. Qin Yu in the center, his silver hair fluttering, his eyes reflecting the abyss. Yan Yue, Yunyi, Extinguished Light Wang Long, and Si Yehan all stood solemnly, like an insurmountable barrier of the Annihilation Abyss.
The woman's eyes suddenly trembled.
She saw Qin Yu's eyes, which seemed to control the cause and effect of the entire Epoch Realm, and she also saw the group of figures beside her who, for some reason, made her feel "safe".
Her body trembled slightly, her snowy wings fluttered weakly, and finally, her body swayed—
They rushed towards that radiant light.
They lunged towards the "fate" that Qin Yu and his companions were in.
The moment Frost Spirit Snow Pistil Immortal fell, snowflakes scattered around her, like fragments of her soul scattering across the world. Qin Yu gently raised his palm, without moving a wisp of energy, and caught her steadily with only his divine sense and spatial control. His figure flashed, and he was already beside her. Yunyi stepped forward to catch her body.
Her silver eyelashes trembled slightly, her spirit nearly exhausted, yet she still maintained her last vestiges of consciousness, leaning weakly against Yunyi's chest, like snowflakes falling into an icy river, staining the entire world white with light.
"Oh dear, the injury is too severe." Yunyi gently raised her hands, and butterfly spirit patterns bloomed in her palms. Streams of star butterfly snow patterns flowed from her fingertips, gently covering the surface of Frost Spirit Snow Pistil Immortal's body.
Frost Spirit Snow Pistil Immortal lay in Yunyi's arms, her face pale and her breath weak. Yunyi opened her palm, and snow butterfly patterns appeared, with strands of clear spiritual light surging around them.
At this moment, she was using a healing technique that she and Extinguished Light had jointly comprehended during their recuperation within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness.
Yunyi and Star Butterflies Heal.
That was the Spirit Butterfly Healing Method she comprehended amidst the gentle fall of butterfly wings during battle. Yunyi has always pursued the Dao with gentleness; her soul is as light as a dream. Beyond battle, she hopes to protect and heal everything she cherishes.
That journey through her sea of consciousness was a time of silent recuperation with Extinguished Light, a moment when her inspiration and soul light merged. They once used the "Dance of the Star Butterfly" to reenact the illusion of the battle in their minds, deducing the natural trajectory of the butterfly's spiritual energy from the residual starlight ripples of Extinguished Light, thus comprehending two great techniques:
One aspect is protection and restoration: Yunyi Star Butterfly Healing uses butterflies as a medium and stars as a spirit to awaken the soul.
One is a combination of offense and defense: Night Feather Azure Expansion, with wind as its wings, controls the domain and sets dimensions, and can break the enemy's path.
Because she knew that the path she chose did not lie in the complexity of combat techniques, but in the unwavering commitment of a "guardian".
At this moment, she transformed her protection into a butterfly shadow brushing against the snow, quietly landing on the shattered Soul Sea of Frost Spirit Snow Pistil Immortal. The flowing light was like a hot spring entering frost, seeping into the depths of her soul consciousness, stitching together her broken soul membrane thread by thread, and reshaping her dissipated origin strand by strand.
Then, facing the murderous intent of the six members of the True Word Extremity Hall, Yunyi will not hesitate to unleash her only offensive and defensive technique—
Night Feather Azure Expansion, the one she captured, slayed all those who attempted to disturb the tranquility of this world.
At this moment, Yi Xuanyan standing quietly to the side, slowly spoke, his voice heavy like the ashes of burnt heavenly fire:
"My lord, her name is Frost Spirit Snow Pistil Immortal, and she is the Eternal Frost Dew Grass, an extremely rare Heavenly-Rank Natal Immortal Herb in the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm. It is almost extinct in the world and is the foremost of the Yin attributes. If one can Soul-Binding Seal, she can transform into the Ultimate Cold Source Physique."
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, but remained silent.
But in the next instant, the world suddenly sank.
Boom!!!
Six figures streaked across the sky, descending suddenly from the highest point of the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm, their bodies surging with energy waves and revealing boundary patterns.
The leader, with a powerful aura like a surging tide, was an Annihilation Source Realm · High Stage. He wore a black and silver robe with a dark red soul-patterned cloak over it, and his eyes burned like ghostly fire. When he saw Frost Spirit Snow Pistil Immortal being held by Qin Yu, a violent glint flashed in his eyes.
Qin Yu Yu--
His voice was cold and sharp, and his gaze was like lightning striking down, shattering the void hundreds of feet beneath his feet.
"You're actually here."
Yan Chexing, chief war envoy of the True Word Extremity Hall "Battle Star Observatory", Annihilation Source Realm · High Stage, and executor of the True Word Secret Killing Order.
Qin Yu raised his eyes to meet his gaze, his expression as indifferent as ever. "The place where you discovered their Soul Seal, the two characters 'True Words'?"
Yunyi, however, spoke first with a cold laugh, her voice like ice dew striking a copper bell, carrying a hint of sarcasm and amusement. "Oh dear, I thought it was someone important, but it turns out to be a lackey of the True Word Extremity Hall."
"Insolence!" Several True Word disciples at the Primordial Void Realm behind him shouted angrily, their spiritual energy poised to be unleashed.
Yan Chexing snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over Qin Yu and his group before settling on Frost Spirit Snow Pistil Immortal Xian, a dark glint of greed and killing intent flashing in his eyes:
"Everyone—form your formation!"
The five people instantly dispersed, forming a five-pointed attack formation. Spiritual patterns were carved into the ground, sealing off the void, and their killing intent surged like a reversed galaxy!
"Let's Annihilation them first, then slowly deal with this Eternal Frost Dew Grass." Yan Chexing walked forward slowly, a "Fate Soul Binding Seal Chain" inscribed with black and red true runes appearing in his palm.
"Remember, Qin Yu is a target personally selected by Mystic Emanation Nether Venerable Liang Jichen. Only by capturing his Fate Soul imprint will you receive a reward."
In an instant, the wind in the world ceased, the spiritual light solidified, the killing formation rose, and the flames of war were about to consume the Heavenly Emanation Immortal Frost.
Mist floats in the air, silver leaves flutter in the wind.
Yunyi gazed at the six people opposite her, who stood proudly in their positions. Suddenly, she chuckled softly and stepped forward gracefully, the star butterflies behind her rippling like a tide.
"You bunch of lackeys, you dare to talk about 'Annihilation us'?"
She glanced at Extinguished Light and said with a smile, "Little sister Extinguished Light, how about you... practice your skills with them?"
Extinguished Light stood ramrod straight, his black and silver hair fluttering slightly, and uttered a single, understated sentence:
"Very well, since they dared to steal from my master, they themselves must be responsible for paying for it."
The leader, Yan Chexing, a high-level cultivator in the Annihilation Source Realm, revealed a contemptuous and cold expression. He suddenly unfurled the scroll of true words in his hand, and the ink-patterned light shook the sky.
"Two mere female soul beasts dare to utter such arrogant words. Six Soul Suppression and Extinction Formation, activate!"
Five Primordial Void Supreme and Consciousnessless High-Level experts clapped their hands simultaneously, causing a six-pointed star diagram to appear beneath their feet, and black and gold runes suddenly rose up!
With a roar, six giant "True Word Pillars" shot up from the ground, opening up the core of the battlefield like an altar!
The pillar is inscribed with the true meaning of the six characters "Extinction, Crack, Sacrifice, Collapse, Annihilation, Slaughter," each character representing a unique principle, and each principle representing a unique soul, directly sealing the Soul Realm and consciousness logic of Yunyi and the Extinguished Light.
The next second, Yan Chexing roared:
"Formation complete, shattering the divine soul, suppressing the life force, severing consciousness!"
The Six Souls Array totem came to life, unleashing countless black and gold chains that swept across from the depths of the void, directly targeting Yunyi's soul consciousness!
Yunyi's eyes flashed coldly, and she snorted lightly, "That lackey really knows how to play tricks."
With a slight raise of his right hand, a ghostly blue soul pattern gathered at his fingertips, and he whispered:
"Dark Abyss Roaring Soul."
The silent wave emanated from Yunyi, sweeping across the void without causing a ripple, yet instantly shattering the boundaries of the six people's soul consciousness.
Black mist churned in the center of the battlefield, and the shadow of a Black Abyss Dragon appeared in the void. The dragon opened its eyes and roared silently.
The soul-piercing sound trembled like Realm Splitting, and rings of dark ripples shattered the defensive spiritual shields in front of the six people. The soul pillars in their sea of consciousness snapped with a "crack," and the five people's consciousnesses instantly trembled and retreated.
"Ugh--!" The left-wing true mantra disciple spat out blood, his expression turning violent.
Without Extinguished Light word, his eyes like mirrors, he slowly stepped forward, his fingertips drawing a silver-white light imprint. With a gentle flick, the silent Annihilation Chain emerged from the void:
"The Void Day Severed Breath."
The chains of light pierced the air like mirrored reflections, like distorted shadows of sunlight, penetrating the enemy ranks.
The light of the source of skill in the six people's sea of consciousness suddenly went out, and the skill circuits were instantly severed as if they were being cut by ice. No matter how long they chanted the incantation, they could not construct the spell.
The battlefield's skill fluctuations vanished, as if plunged into a silent night.
"She... sealed our spells?" one of them screamed in terror, taking a half step back, only to be choked by the Annihilation Chain, nearly fainting.
Yan Chexing roared, "Activate the True Word: Silent Oath - Blazing Consciousness Sacrifice!"
The six people simultaneously bit their tongues, burning their own blood and souls into sacrificial seals. The Six Paths True Culture created six blood-colored magic seals, instantly breaking the annihilation chain and reconstructing the magic.
--The six magical shadows soared through the air, namely:
Consciousness-Piercing Heavenly Sight, Fate-Locking Nirvana Curse, Dimension-Rending Heavenly Scales, Consciousness-Sealing Descending Script, Soul-Scorching Fierce Shuttle, Dark Prison Locking Art
The six techniques erupted simultaneously, rushing towards Yunyi and Extinguished Light!
Seeing this Yunyi clicked her tongue lightly. "Since you're aware of the soul, you still dare to be restless—"
"Nether Realm Shattered Prison."
With a sweep of his palms, the sky suddenly cracked open, and a Netherworld prison gate composed of soul flames, chains, and an ancient Soul Tower slowly opened.
The six techniques of the True Word manifested, but as soon as he leaped out of the interface, he was hooked by chains and dragged into the prison gate.
Each spell crumbles layer by layer upon entering the Soul Tower, from its core to its logic, burned to ashes by the Soul Fire.
"That's... Soul Tower Devouring Technique!? She can actually peel away our skill chains one by one!" The True Word disciples behind them were terrified and tried to flee.
Two of the six had already collapsed, their consciousness shattered, while the remaining four's auras plummeted. Yan Chexing gritted his teeth, glaring angrily, and roared, "You are actually... the core of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch?!"
Yunyi's lips curled slightly, and she uttered softly:
"You're only finding out now? You guys... are too slow."
Yunyi used Dark Abyss Roaring Soul and Nether Realm Shattered Prison to shatter the enemy's soul technique source, while Extinguished Light used Void Day Severed Breath to directly seal the six people's ability to construct techniques. The six people from the True Word Extremity Hall forcibly countered with Soul Arts, but Yunyi shattered two of them again. At this moment, only four people remained, their soul breaths in chaos, and their expressions were filled with fear.
Extinguished Light's steps remained unchanged, as if he were strolling among the starlight. He raised his eyes and glanced calmly at Yan Chexing, who was still roaring. He slowly extended a finger, his tone completely calm:
"Consciousness-Annihilating Time-Devouring Chain".
The sky instantly turned into a hazy, fading starlight, time seemed to be emptied, and everything around came to a standstill.
A "chain of consciousness" composed of azure Extinguished Light Guang's fingertip, like a cable of divine judgment, pointing directly at the enemy's consciousness.
Suddenly, the "Reversed Life Flame" ignited deep within the consciousness of the four True Word disciples. Their source of consciousness, like a twisted thread, began to disintegrate. All logical language and soul magic incantations turned into garbled fragments under the flow of the annihilation chain.
"I... I can't even remember the incantation!" a Primordial Void Supreme exclaimed, a tear of blood sliding down his cheek.
"She has annihilated our memories! We can no longer cast spells... she's even stripping us of our language!"
Yan Chexing roared, pulling out the blood bronze scroll engraved with the silencing mark once more, and shouted:
"Open the Source Mantra - Break Through Heaven's Judgment!"
A crimson pillar of light, woven from ancient words, descended from the sky, crushing the mists of time and space, forcefully penetrating the realm of Extinguished Light, and reversing fragments of time!
The beam of light projected into Extinguished Light's eyes, weaving a "logic regeneration field" around his sea of consciousness, forcibly reshaping the chains of language and skills that had been taken from him!
"Finally... we can move!" The remaining three were energized and ready to fight again.
The voice of the Extinguished Light was slightly cool:
"You still haven't figured out... who I am."
With a clasp of his hands, ten radiant holy runes appeared on the backs of his fingers, and he softly uttered:
"The Final Radiance Extinguishes Evolution, the Silent Light Wheel Opening."
The scene suddenly darkened, and a "halo" as if forged from annihilation light emerged from behind him, slowly rotating.
Each pulsation of the light wheel creates a layer of the Annihilation Realm folds, shattering the enemy's skill "regeneration logic" layer by layer.
The red beam of judgment shattered completely like sand during its third rotation, vanishing back into zero-byte fragments.
"You... are no longer worthy to cast spells," Extinguished Light said softly.
Taking advantage of the enemy's stunned state from the backlash of annihilation, Yunyi leaped into the air, a dragon soul light blade materializing in her hand, and let out a roar:
"Rending Domain Dragon Soul!"
A colossal shadow Origin Framework the soul dragon" burst forth from behind her, its golden and blue radiance intertwining like ten thousand blades piercing through the domain.
The dragon's roar pierced through the void, instantly tearing through the enemy formation. The protective divine runes around the three surviving True Word disciples shattered, and their blood and souls burst forth.
The three of them, like pieces of paper torn by the wind, fell from the sky and plummeted to the bottom of the Broken Stone Gorge, their Spiritual Sense in chaos, their fate unknown.
Only Yan Chexing remained, kneeling on one knee, his Soul Sea shattered like broken porcelain. He struggled to gather his remaining consciousness, gritting his teeth and glaring angrily:
"You... can't possibly kill me! I am... the executor appointed by Liang Jichen!"
Extinguished Light and Yunyi approached slowly. Yunyi gave a cold smile.
"You're right, those who carry out the orders shouldn't die easily."
"So—we will peel you away, inch by inch, until you are reduced to ashes."
