Ashen Radiance's Calamity · The Threshold of Severed Observation

Qin Yu's posture slightly lowered, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword pointing diagonally out. The sword's edge didn't move, yet its sword intent had already cleaved through all senses. The aura of Silent Origin surged like a deep abyss, quietly gathering at the blade's tip. He uttered a low murmur—

"Sever the Cause, Preventing Birth."

Before those four short words had even fully fallen, the heavens and earth suddenly trembled!

--boom!!!!

Before anyone could react, the top of the sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand!

Flame-like black-gold chains descended from the clouds, carrying a silent roar of countless narrative layers, falling straight down like chains of divine punishment, igniting the entire sky! As if the fiery chains were burning the heavens, the scorched earth was torn open out of thin air, revealing a huge abyss rift darker than the void and heavier than the rules!

The sky looks like it's being "melted down"!

Just as Qin Yu was about to unleash his sword light, a battle halberd tens of thousands of feet long suddenly descended from the sky!

That halberd was no ordinary object; its blade light was like intertwined lines of time and space, and its shaft was engraved with the Fate Soul marks of countless beings who perished in different eras. Each mark seemed to have once dominated a world and stirred up the final echo of an era in which gods fell!

Before the attack even arrived, its pressure had already cracked the earth and caused the Yuan Domain to collapse. Yan Yue frowned, and Dawn Wheel forcibly tore open the defensive barrier as it spun!

Full refund!

Yan Yue's figure flashed, instantly protecting Yunyi, Extinguished Light, Wang Long, and Lin Yun behind her. Qin Yu, however, remained unmoved, as if he knew that this thing was not aimed at him, but rather intended to Annihilation him and the Emperor-Suppressing Pagoda together!

"Boom!!!--"

The halberd slammed violently into the ground!

With it at its core, the spiritual soil, hundreds of thousands of feet wide, churned violently, and the fivefold spatial tremors released layer by layer like the destruction of a realm, with wave after wave of destructive tides rushing straight to the top of the void!

The earth shattered, and even the Silent Wheel Realm was violently distorted.

Amidst the dust and the dissipation of collapsing spacetime, a figure slowly descended from the heavens.

It was a being in a "non-human" form.

His entire body was pitch black and devoid of luster, his skin like divinely forged metal, yet flowing with a cold light that annihilated starlight; his wings were not made of feathers, but of rules composed of light, each lock feather shining with unrecognizable boundary markings, as if a lost page between the end of time and the source of space.

The light behind it is not radiance, but a ring like an Endless Abyss, piercing through the universe. Within it flows not stars, but the "beginning of the realm" and the "ending of the Fate Soul".

His face was blurred and intangible, and even the logic of his existence seemed to actively deny all acts of observation. Only an indifferent will followed him step by step.

He gently raised his right hand, and wherever it passed, the earth and spacetime automatically entered a "frozen state," and all particle structures, energy logic, and causal relationships were annihilated!

"You," the voice slowly echoed, deep and resonant like the cracking of a divine tomb, "Should not have stepped into this ancient realm."

Yan Yue chilling as she whispered, "Severed Observation Realm... Supreme Body."

Yunyi's expression remained calm, but a dragon shadow appeared behind her, and her three eyes slowly opened.

Extinguished Light's fingers clenched slowly, and a drop of the final brilliance crystal core condensed in his palm.

Wang Long and Lin Yun had not yet fully recovered from the previous shock, and the Fate Wheel and the Divine Chain were vibrating wildly.

Qin Yu slowly sheathed the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword and said softly:

"... So this is the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm, the dark beings that exist 'outside the realm'."

His eyes were no longer calm; instead, they revealed genuine coldness.

"Very good."

The Silent Ring trembled slightly, and a wisp of azure light quietly swept across the depths of the sea of consciousness. It was the Azure Ring's resonance response, not yet manifested, but already prepared to completely obliterate the being before it with the next strike.

Yan Yue slowly took half a step forward, and as the Dawn Wheel turned, a figure of light and shadow quietly took shape.

"I'll take over the next phase."

Qin Yu, however, only coldly uttered one sentence:

"If you truly represent the Ultimate will of the Heavenly Emanation Realm, then today, let me rewrite it with my own hands."

The jet-black feathers slowly unfurled in the air. The descended dark being stood at the edge of the void. The halo behind him no longer resembled a sacred image, but rather a ring of the Final Abyss that devoured cause and effect, silently pressing the entire Heavenly Emanation Domain into deathly silence. Layers of the void collapsed. He stomped lightly, and the towering cliffs beneath his feet turned to dust. Space and time folded like paper. Yan Yue had already quietly taken a step. The Dawn Wheel turned silently, and amidst the collapsing Abyss of Light, she uttered a soft whisper, as if severing time itself—"Dawn Wheel Zero Book · Divine Deletion of Annihilation Cause."

The Annihilation Dawn Wheel Ring appeared in mid-air, and billions of Annihilation Silver Butterfly Feathers scattered in all directions, forming an "Recognition Annihilation Sealing Mirror Domain" that spanned an era. The entire world Time Silence silent, and time and space were intercepted into the pages of the Fate Soul Book she had constructed.

Deep within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, the "Fate Cause Master Seal" quietly emerged. Each fate seal, like a crack in the Heavenly Dao, slowly unfolded behind his brow. The Main Soul Ring Diagram floated and sank, while the Return-to-Abyss Ring pressed down. All fate trajectories had been written into the pages of the battlefield book. Behind it, the Silent Origin Divine Diagram and the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword emitted Netherworld deathly light together.

Yunyi, Extinguished Light, Wang Long, Lin Yun each ignited the Limit light of their Fate Soul, preparing to face the enemy.

But at this very moment—

The dark being slowly raised its arm, its five fingers spread wide, and a skill never recognized by the world's destiny was released silently!

He didn't speak, nor did his Fate Soul fluctuate; he simply pointed a finger into the void.

In an instant, the entire world was suddenly stained with an extremely ominous deep golden color, all the laws were reversed, and even Yan Yue's Dawn Wheel trembled slightly. A strange dark symbol slowly rotated out from his palm, like the last words of a writer's will.

That is--

Annihilation of Fate - Preface and Deletion of Books

In an instant, countless mysterious metal components spun and rose in the sky. That was not power, but "boundary script," an "otherworldly script" that had never been written by heaven and earth. Like the skeletons of millions of feathered serpents, they swooped down from the sky and swept into the entire outer domain of Heavenly Emanation!

The wind ceased, the light faded, and even the Fate Soul was forced into silence in that instant!

Space was frozen, the connection points in the sea of consciousness collapsed simultaneously, and the souls of all cultivators seemed to be forcibly detached from the world!

"Ugh--!!"

Wang Long was struck by a boundary-patterned artifact, his life force instantly locked back, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, flying thousands of feet backward. Lin Yun's body bones shattered, and black blood surged out like a river.

At that moment, Yunyi suddenly looked up and saw that the dark feathers suddenly covered the sky and earth, and in that desolate sky, her "Illusory Dragon Soul Seal" was forcibly pulled out by the rays of light that were like life chains!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The Extinguished Light Final Radiance Woven Robe's body burned and collapsed, and his soul structure was completely disintegrated. Fragments of his soul scattered and fell into the spatial rift!

The two were sent flying backwards simultaneously, their bodies disintegrating into fragments of light and threads of soul flames in mid-air, as if they were about to be completely negated by the logic of the world!

Yan Yue was shocked and enraged, her face paled, the Dawn Wheel spun wildly, and the Book of Fate Soul opened rapidly, its sound like a shattering heaven:

"Husband, hurry! Hurry! Take back Yunyi and Extinguished Light! They're about to be completely deleted!!"

Qin Yu's body was already spitting out black blood, and the cracks on his shoulder were like the inscriptions on the Annihilation Origin Stele etched into his blood and bones. His soul consciousness was almost completely destroyed, but at that moment, he raised his eyes and his divine sense surged forth!

"Azure Ring —Reflecting my Fate Soul, return!"

With a low shout, the Main Soul Ring Diagram and the Azure Ring Miracle converged in his sea of consciousness, instantly triggering the "Main Fate Guiding Chain"!

Two streaks of azure light pierced through the battle zone, bypassing the enemy's skill logic blockade, and forcibly pulled Yunyi and the remaining souls of Extinguished Light back from within the Annihilation Realm Text!

As the azure light swept down, Yunyi and Extinguished Light simultaneously vanished from the scene, returning to the depths of Qin Yu's consciousness. However, their souls were shattered, and their Fate Soul was out of balance.

It has fallen into a deep sleep.

The world Ji Ran.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Emperor Pagoda's sealing power fluctuated violently, and he actually turned around to escape!

But the dark creature merely glanced at it coldly, flicked its finger, and a black ring composed of the "Annihilation Realm Remnant Bell" fell from the sky.

"Thump!!"

With a deafening roar, the Emperor Pagoda was crushed as if by the weight of countless worlds. In an instant, it disintegrated from its human form back into its original tower shape. The inscriptions of countless worlds on its surface shattered inch by inch, and it was pressed firmly into the ground, unable to move an inch!

He, however, merely looked down at the crowd, and with an icy will that seemed to Does Not Exist outside this world, coldly uttered four words—

"Those who are supreme shall all die."

The next instant, the heavens and earth trembled, and an unprecedented void vortex silently tore apart behind the four of them, as if another era had suddenly spied on this place—an irresistible teleportation force surged out, and before Qin Yu could speak, it had already swept him, Yan Yue, Wang Long, and Lin Yun into it at the same time.

"Bang--!"

The void abruptly closed, and all fell silent. The dark creature remained motionless, merely glancing sideways in the direction the rift had closed. The endless chronicles in its eyes seemed to vanish like empty pages, and it coldly uttered only one sentence:

"The mere human race is not worth mentioning."

He raised his palm and clenched it, taking the illusory image of the broken Emperor Pagoda into his hand, as if sealing away a piece of denied history. He then turned and vanished into the boundless chaos, and the sky returned to silence once more.

In a hidden space interwoven with ancient divine runes, Qin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his sea of consciousness churning. Yan Yue sat cross-legged beside him, holding the Annihilation Dawn Wheel Ring to protect his soul and calm his mind, while Wang Long and Lin Yun were also seriously injured beside him, their souls slightly disordered. The surrounding space was covered with layers of bluish-gray runes, as if it were a concealment array of some kind of eternal logic.

"You've finally woken up." A deep, wind-like voice rang out, and a man in a long, flowing robe stood outside the array, his hair flowing like stars, with an ancient abyss soul mark faintly visible between his brows—he was none other than Feng Wujin, one of the elders of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall.

Behind him, a silver-haired, black-eyed youth strode forward, his expression calm, but a lingering look of horror was hidden in his eyes. It was none other than Yi Si Yehan.

"The four of you experienced intense fluctuations in your Fate Soul, so we urgently located your location and rushed here. Fortunately, we made it in time." Feng Wujin looked at Qin Yu, his tone calm. "That being at the Annihilation Contemplation level... has exceeded all of our expectations. You are still alive."

Si Yehan walked to Wang Long's side, infusing his faint Spiritual Sense to stabilize Wang Long's fate, and then whispered, "We forcibly tore the four of you out of the spatial causal line using the 'Abyssless Teleportation Forbidden Art,' which almost exhausted all of my and the elder's source souls."

"But you must know, this is not the end." Feng Wujin looked at Qin Yu, "This may only be the beginning of 'The Annihilation Contemplation Realm'."

... At this moment, Azure Ring quietly retreated from the depths of Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, while Yunyi and Extinguished Light's Fate Soul remained in slumber. The only thing that remained intact was the wisp of "consciousness fire" within Qin Yu's clenched fist, a trace of life trajectory that had not yet been extinguished.

He muttered to himself, "They won't disappear... never."

Yan Yue stood silently to his side, only the faint light emanating from the Dawn Wheel seemed to remember the full cost of the battle just now.

At this moment, Si Yehan half-squatted beside Qin Yu, one hand pressing against the broken aura on Qin Yu's chest, while the other finger, like a soul blade, pointed towards the core of his consciousness. Feng Wujin stood beside Yan Yue, Wang Long, and Lin Yun, his sleeves unfurling like a swirling Star Abyss, three "Sole Book Fate Threads" hanging from his fingertips, wrapping around the Fate Soul the three, slowly infusing them with the power of Annihilation Fate Healing Consciousness.

A deep, thunderous voice, yet carrying Ultimate clear and lucid tone, rang out in the room:

"The being you just encountered... is one of the many dark beings deep within the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm— the Annihilation Contemplation's Ashen Radiance One." Si Yehan's voice fell like a decree, its tone carrying a hidden power, and no one dared to interrupt. "According to records, the 'Annihilation Contemplation' is Supreme Being of the Severed Observation Realm, and its name 'Ashen Radiance' means the place where brilliance is ultimately extinguished—this being specializes in hunting 'world -World Extinguisher magic treasures,' absorbing their souls for its own use, and transforming them into 'Eternal Ash Slave Core.'"

His voice was deep and chilling. "The reason you were able to escape just now was because Feng Wujin and I sensed that your Fate Soul imprints were violently fluctuating, almost to the point of soul annihilation. If we hadn't forcibly torn open this Epoch Eastern Void Layer in time to teleport you away... I'm afraid that by now, you would all be—"

Si Yehan's gaze swept across the distant void, as if he could see the dark area deeper within the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm. A deep killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Qin Yu slowly stood up, with Yan Yue standing beside him. Wang Long and Lin Yun also struggled to their feet, their faces still pale, but their soul pressure and life consciousness had stabilized.

Feng Wujin turned around and said softly, "You all rest here for now. Si Yehan and I still need to check on the other trapped disciples."

Looking at Qin Yu and Yan Yue's expressions, he solemnly added, "Although this place is a temporarily stable area in the Epoch Eastern Void Layer, the entire Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm is undergoing extremely profound structural changes... If you encounter enemies like 'Annihilation Contemplation · Ashen Radiance One' again, remember—do not linger in battle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the magic seals in his sleeves spun rapidly, and another stream of light ripped open in the void. Feng Wujin and Si Yehan transformed into two beams of light and vanished. Before leaving, Si Yehan left behind only one extremely cold sentence:

"The real killing trap in this world is far from over."

The Emperor Pagoda has been seized, Yunyi and Extinguished Light are still asleep, and in the depths of the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm... an even more terrifying being is awakening.

Qin Yu looked down at the faintly pulsating Fate Cause Master Seal in his palm. The "Spirit Filth Origin Breath" that had once unleashed a burst of azure light and annihilated the Fate Construct Judgment Guardian was now quiet and still. He whispered:

"This time, we'll be ruthless... more so than ever before."
