As the Fate Construct Judgment Guardian slowly stepped forward with his right foot, the dark stone ground that bore the Fate of Annihilation instantly collapsed into hundreds of chains of judgment. Beneath his gilded blue armor, countless runes surged simultaneously, and runes of the primordial world's structure emerged from his chest, as if he were reading an endless book of heaven. The entire corridor fell into deathly silence at this moment.
Behind him--
A long blade, even more terrifying than the previous "Law-Severing True Judgment Sword," emerged. It was no ordinary weapon, but a complete root of the rules—
Judgment of Boundaries: Annihilation Fate Judgment King Blade.
Before the blade was even drawn, space shattered like glass; the flames of judgment burned in the heavens, and the pillars of light pierced the very essence of Fate Soul; at this moment, everyone felt a completely inescapable "final judgment logic."
"The trial begins." The judge finally uttered his first words, but they were no longer spoken; they were spoken.
At that very moment, Qin Yu remained motionless, yet the Azure Ring slowly emerged from the depths of his consciousness.
It was an existence that seemed to be forever unrecognized by heaven and earth, a core of logic unknown to anyone; without its rings opened, all realms could not stand.
Azure Ring, the Silent Realm Returns to the Beginning, Fate's Existence Completely Covers All... Unmoved.
But he slowly uttered a sentence:
"Spirit Filth Annihilates Heaven."
The voice was soft, but the moment that wisp of blue light appeared between Qin Yu's brows, the Fate Soul chains throughout the entire corridor instantly began to "corrode."
That was not poison, not annihilation, and not divine punishment.
It was a complete denial of all constructs.
--"Spirit Filth Origin Breath" does not refer to attacking enemies, but rather conceptually "corrodes the rules and basis necessary for the existence of all things."
In an instant, beneath the blazing blue armor of the Fate Construct Judgment Guardian, a phenomenon of "rule peeling" began to appear:
His spirit core began to question itself:
--"Why do I exist?"
His technological chain began to contradict itself:
"Should I be written about?"
The blue light floated like wisps of cotton in the wind, but every wisp that touched the Judge would cause the "Judgment Code" inside to turn to ashes.
He raised his hand, intending to unleash the Annihilation Fate Judgment King Blade, but discovered that the sword had already been logically considered an illegal component by "Azure Ring Spirit Scrap," and its "reason for existence" had been determined to be: a source of contamination, and therefore could not be read.
Boom--!
A quiet sound broke the silence.
The Annihilation Fate Judgment King Blade, before it was even drawn, instantly transformed into billions of fragments, disintegrating into particles and dust!
The Fate Construct Judgment Guardian trembled, and his entire Dao root—from components, logic, consciousness, form, power, martial spirit, and soul source—underwent "complete dissolution" under the continuous corruption of the Azure Ring Spirit Impurity.
He tried to back away, but even the logic behind the act of "moving" began to crumble;
He attempted to open the realm, only to discover that the universe itself refused to acknowledge that he was "still alive."
He attempted to return to the Soul Master, but was instantly severed by the Azure Ring Logic, causing his "belonging relationship" to be annihilated.
Finally, he stopped struggling.
He stood silently in the empty space, his black and silver armor cracking inch by inch, and within each crack emerged a line of judgment text:
--"The core of the pollution."
"Component is illegal."
--"Logic collapses."
The world has forgotten you.
"Sizzle--"
A barely audible soft sound.
He transformed into azure dust, completely erased by the Azure Ring —not death, but utter cancellation by the world's logic, so that even the source of the tower no longer remembered "there was once such a guardian."
Silence reigned.
Yan Yue slightly raised her eyes, looked at where Azure Ring was breathing, and murmured softly:
"This technique is fatal with a single touch."
Qin Yu calmly sheathed his sword, without turning around, and murmured:
"The one who could move the Azure Ring no longer leaves his name."
Everyone was silent. A silent wind Annihilation Abyss from the Abyss, sweeping the last wisp of annihilated dust into the void.
However, just as everyone stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor, a violent tremor suddenly erupted from the depths of the tower's core, like a falling Xingyun, causing the entire tower to shake violently. Qin Yu's divine sense surged instantly, and the Azure Ring within him rippled like a tidal wave. "Retreat!"
"Boom--!" "Boom--!" "Boom--!"
The dome of the Void Tower cracked open, and streaks of crisscrossing azure light descended from the top, instantly spreading throughout the entire tower. The runes originally engraved on the tower walls began to twist wildly, as if they were being repelled by some kind of source law structure. The next instant, accompanied by a roar from the sky, the entire "Annihilation Sequence Fate Construct Corridor" collapsed on its own.
Qin Yu and the others felt the light and shadows before their eyes shift and the space collapse violently. An irresistible primal annihilation pressure suddenly rose up, as if the entire Source of Epochless was pressing down on them at this moment. The Yan Yue Dawn Wheel spun, instantly releasing the Life Orbit Guardian Light Barrier, carrying everyone across thousands of feet from inside the tower, and landing steadily in the outer void.
Before they could regain their footing, a "dong--" sound, as if echoing from an Outer Dao bell, was heard. The entire virtual tower began to slowly shrink. The countless component layers, boundary gates, and life pattern corridors were as if being pulled from the flow of cause and effect by an invisible giant hand, and began to rotate in reverse, collapse, and merge!
The wind has ceased in the sky, and all things are still.
A series of dark blue rings appeared on the tower, as if a star was burning its life force. Finally, all the virtual tower structures merged into one at that moment.
Under everyone's gaze, a massive, imposing humanoid structure emerged from the heart of the tower—
It was a figure clad in deep, dark armor, seemingly constructed from the shell of a star, with shimmering light concealing shattered nebulae. Ancient runes were inscribed on his shoulder armor, and his cloak, as black as night, trailed into the depths of the void. He wielded a radiant, annihilating greatsword, its blade trailing like the trajectory of a falling star, its sharpness intertwined with the flames of Annihilation Origin and the constructing of the world.
He slowly rose into the air, behind him an endless deep blue night sky and shattered stardust. His helmet was like a sealed mirror of destiny, without eyes, nose, or speech, only light flowed within it—he was defined as the "Judgment of the End"!
This is the true manifestation of the "Annihilation Sequence Fate Construct Tower" --
A "pseudo-divine being" composed of countless annihilation-level magical treasures, divine artifacts, divine arrays, and rune components.
The figure slowly raised the Annihilation Greatsword, its blade pointing directly at Qin Yu and the others. Starlight swirled behind it, as if the entire void was being crushed by the sword.
However, at that moment, Qin Yu's divine sense stirred quietly, a flash of green light appeared in his eyes, and he slowly took a step forward:
"So this tower... wasn't a secret place at all, but rather a manifestation of some ancient realm that devours treasures. It lured people in under the guise of a 'Life Core Trial,' releasing guardian knights within to execute them. If successful, it would devour the enemy's soul and the logic of their destiny, thus completing its transformation... It's just a pity—"
His gaze turned cold, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword hovering in his hand, the aura of the Azure Ring swirling lightly in his palm, his words as icy as ice:
"Now that the knight is dead, you have no right to hide any longer."
The Yan Yue Dawn Wheel appeared behind him, Yunyi, Extinguished Light, Wang Long, and Lin Yun also stood firmly in the battle formation. The six of them gathered together to face the true form of this "Treasure Realm Transformer".
Upon first encountering the one with the transformed body, Qin Yu immediately understood through the Azure Ring in his Sea of Consciousness that this was no ordinary enemy; its essence was the ancient and supreme magical artifact— the Limitless Emperor-Suppressing Tower.
Legend has it that this tower was sealed at the "End of Nothingness," and is one of the ten Ultimate treasures of the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm. Its original purpose was not for war, but to "suppress the emperor": to suppress all living beings with a single tower, to suppress the lifeblood of all the emperors of the heavens, and even a Realm Master would find it difficult to recover from a single blow. Now, it has actually manifested in the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm Evolution Treasure Realm, and its ferocious power far surpasses the resonance of the three previous world -World Extinguisher artifacts.
The humanoid figure in this tower has had its original name erased; its appearance is that of a "representative of the rules," not an individual, but a concrete manifestation of the Emperor's decrees.
Behind him, the void began to crack, and three layers of the Annihilation Realm descended from the sky, reflecting rings of dark blue, purple-gold, and colorless, corresponding to the three life-skill mechanisms of "dimensional collapse," "mental technique blockade," and "eternal destruction." Beneath his feet, the world shattered like ice, and the rules of space collapsed with each step he took, as if all the "life-giving logic" of existence was being gradually extracted.
He said nothing, but raised his sword and pointed it.
A stele rose behind it, bearing the inscription "Ancient Chronicle True Inscription":
"The Emperor's intention is to seal away and annihilate the higher dimensions of all realms."
Wang Long's expression changed drastically. His fifth-level Life-Suppressing Ring spun to its Limit in an instant. He raised his right palm to block in front of the crowd and shouted:
"In the instant before he strikes—he can annihilate anything beyond logic! Be careful, he's trying to seize our life-level authority!"
The Yan Yue Dawn Wheel stirred slightly, and a beam of light enveloped everyone, but it only provided half a breath of defense before the humanoid figure in the tower suddenly raised its sword.
The void roared!
As the sword slashed down, the entire battlefield space folded and shrank like a piece of paper. Countless units of law broke away from their original timeline, reversing, extinguishing, and breaking, silently exploding into rings of white flames and annihilation.
At this moment, Qin Yu six companions felt as if they had been pulled into Wuji collapsing field.
"Destiny-Suppressing Boundary-Sealing Ceremony - Conferring Emperorship!"
--Wuji Limitless Emperor-Suppressing Tower, First Form: Emperor Sealing and Fate Severance
The entire battlefield shattered like a mirror, spatial lines slashed down, and heaven and earth transformed into a cage, sealing everyone inside!
"Roar--!"
Wang Long roared, his life-force wheel rotating to the fourth ring, and a Realm Splitting pressure belt surged out, colliding head-on with the sealing wall!
"Life Pressure - Realm Splitting Wheel!"
"Boom!!!"
The sky collapsed, the life-sustaining chains and the Emperor-Suppressing Wall shattered, Wang Long retreated ten feet, spitting out blood, but the wall also cracked slightly.
"It can't be broken!" he roared. "This tower has seized control of spatial logic; we cannot break it from the outside!"
Extinguished Light stepped forward, her figure silent, her gauze robe billowing, and all the secrets of heaven around her were utterly Annihilation.
"The Annihilation Fate Radiance Induction."
She stretched out her slender finger, pointing towards the cage-like structure. The light swirled between her fingers, its radiance like a cascading Milky Way, and a beam of light shot into the heart of the wall.
The starlight suddenly pierced through the logical node of the cage, and space twisted once more!
"Radiance Domain Total Annihilation, Myriad Phenomena Absolute Descent!"
As the domain descended, the Annihilation Dark Domain enveloped the Tower Shadow's body, freezing all its rule components, skill circuits, and dimensional support.
But at that very moment, a golden crown reappeared behind the tower's humanoid form, seemingly originating from an extraterrestrial Star Abyss, inscribed with ancient text:
If the Emperor is not destroyed, all laws will submit.
"He's using the Heavenly Wheel of Destruction... to reverse the Annihilation Domain in the midst of Annihilation!" Yan Yue suddenly spoke in a deep voice, as the Dawn Wheel spun like a lotus, drawing everyone into the Entering Stillness Wheel Half-World.
"The Endless Dawn Radiance!"
As the dawn light poured down, the light of annihilation and the radiance of dawn merged and reconstructed on the battlefield, temporarily suppressing its reversal.
"The Wheel Reflects Ten Thousand Silences!"
Yan Yue stroked the Dawn Wheel, and countless rays of starlight illuminated the central axis of the humanoid presence within the Emperor-Suppressing Pagoda.
Those were nested chains of dimensional projections, connecting countless magical treasures, the remnants of Realm Master, and the cores of divine artifacts. It was actually constructed by the fusion of the remnants of Realm Master and magical treasures who had "failed to be suppressed" in the ancient Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm!
"Slaying it is useless; we must directly delete and rewrite the source!" Yan Yue coldly.
Yunyi's figure had already leaped from the Annihilation Domain to behind the Tower Shadow, her three souls merging into one, and her single eye opened:
"Silent Abyss Single Gaze, Three Souls Descend upon the Severed Realm."
The light of three dragons—black, purple, and gold—shot from her right pupil, severing the three propositions and piercing through the soul consciousness of the tower's shadow!
Lin Yun, having already reforged the Divine Breath Seal, now condensed the Battle Spirit Seal and unleashed his full power:
"Dragon Seal of Severed Consciousness - Shattering Wheel of the Realm!"
He struck the right arm of the tower's shadow with a single blow, attempting to sever its dimensional projection channel.
The battlefield descended into full-scale firefight, with flames crisscrossing the logical structure of destiny. As the Dawn Wheel spun, the Emperor-Suppressing Pagoda paused noticeably for the first time. Its body trembled, and the armor on its left arm crashed down, turning into starfire!
Qin Yu remained motionless, his gaze sweeping coldly across the scene as he awaited his next move.
He knew this was a test, not the end of the war.
