Within the inner desolate realm, bathed in the starlight of the Annihilation Abyss, Yi Xuanyan in blazing flames, slowly rose from Yan Yue's sea of consciousness. He bowed deeply, his two scarlet fiery eyes within the flames reverent and solemn.
"Master, I have a small request... I wonder if I may speak of it?"
Yan Yue her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with starlight, and softly replied, "What is it? Just say it."
Yi Xuanyan slightly, as if brewing words he hadn't uttered for a thousand years. "Master, although I am Life-Burning Divine Domain Master and the Lord of the Heavenly Emanation Flame, the 'Extinguishing Flame Divine Core' before the Epoch Realm were written... my ancestors passed down the true cause of my life fire—"
At this moment, the flame's voice was deep and solemn, like a vow. "Within the inner layer of this Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm, there exists a strange flame unrecognized by the laws of fate. It is formless Nameless, yet it governs the world's rules and order, the cycle of cause and effect, and fragments of time. It can even summon the enemy's 'original logic' on the battlefield, burning, disintegrating, and annihilating all their combat actions... at the level of principle!"
These words struck the air like a heavy hammer, causing Qin Yu's pupils to shrink and his divine sense to tremble slightly.
Yi Xuanyan his head, not daring to look up, but the flames grew even more intense. "My lord, I know that you two are unparalleled in martial arts, surpassing all others in the Epoch Origin. But if you can Annihilation that fire spirit for me... I will definitely be able to devour the root of the fire source with my 'Extinguishing Flame Divine Core' body, and ultimately... awaken as -- the Myriad Primordial Fire Source!"
"At that time, I will no longer be just a strange fire, but will be able to intervene in the main logic of battle, fight against the laws governing the enemy's existence, and incinerate the source of my magic, truly paving the way for my lord and wife!"
At this moment, silence reigned like a mountain.
Qin Yu slowly looked at Yan Yue, whose phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. Her gaze remained fixed, but she uttered a thought:
"Yu, he is the strange fire I subdued... If what he said is true, then this can indeed leave behind a real combat support system for the Annihilation Abyss Epoch."
Qin Yu nodded slightly, stepped forward, his eyes reflecting light like a dark abyss, and slowly spoke, "That strange fire you mentioned—can it summon the original logic manuscript and incinerate the enemy's combat actions?"
Yi Xuanyan his head, his tone extremely solemn. "Yes! My lord, it is absolutely true, I swear I would never lie!"
Qin Yu's eyes flashed with light, then he turned to look at Yan Yue, his gaze resolute. "Yue'er, he is your Soul Person of the Strange Flame, and also a part of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch. If this Strange Flame truly exists, it will burn not only enemy techniques—but also the anticipation of the enemy's future combat trajectory."
Yan Yue nodded slightly. "Yes, Yu, I'll do whatever you say."
Qin Yu looked at Yi Xuanyan, his right hand slowly extending, the ring of life light slightly turning, his voice like a calm tide:
"Yi Xuanyan."
"Exist."
"You lead the way."
The Annihilation Abyss Divine Fire trembled instantly, as if it had heard a divine decree, and transformed into a streak of purple-gold flame that flew to the top of the void ahead.
Three days later, in the deepest part of the inner layer of the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm, a region where space and time intertwine.
At this moment, Qin Yu, Yan Yue, and Yi Xuanyan traversed countless realms and finally arrived at the legendary [Starflame Silent Realm].
As they passed through the last barrier of luminous light, a vast and magnificent scene suddenly came into view.
That was an endless [cosmic fire domain].
Above the sky, a brilliant galaxy surges, and each star is no longer just a star, but a burning heart of life, its outer flames like an eternal waterfall of fire, cascading down from the void like a thunderous waterfall, piercing through the sea of clouds, and projecting onto the mountains, rivers and plains below.
In the sky, trillions of starlight lines, like golden-red threads, pierced from the source of the star realm to the void land. Each wisp of starlight was like a divine stream of light forged billions of years ago. The clouds on the horizon rolled like raging dragons, and deep in the sky, pillars of crimson fire fell from the sky, piercing straight into the starry land, like divine punishment that burned away all eras.
On this vast expanse of land, rivers meander and lakes dot the landscape, yet floating on the water are phantoms of starlight—not water vapor, nor rising mist, but the eternal embers left behind by the intertwining of the life source of fire between the void and the rules.
The entire world is like a desolate realm covered with the ashes of a burned galaxy, or like the battle spirits accumulated over countless eras, forever dormant in this "Fire Realm Rift".
Yan Yue gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, then looked up at the sky. "... This place truly is the Return to the Ruins of Fire..."
Yi Xuanyan's divine flame body trembled slightly, an instinct stemming from the "Echo of Life Source." He nearly knelt, murmuring, "My lord, my lady, this is the source of our clan's burning breath... the heart of the 'Starflame Silent Realm,' the legendary... the slumbering place of the [Myriad Primordial Fire Source]..."
Qin Yu's gaze was deep as he stared at the slowly floating curtain of flames between heaven and earth, and he said in a deep voice:
We've arrived.
"The true pre-war silence has only just begun."
As soon as Qin Yu and his companions stepped onto the Starflame Silent Realm, a gentle breeze stirred up the fiery sand at their feet, accompanied by wisps of dark golden starlight that swirled and danced in the void. But in the midst of this silence, a series of light and orderly footsteps suddenly echoed across the Blazing Plains ahead.
The three stopped simultaneously, and from within the starlight and mist, they could vaguely see a group of figures emerging.
That was a group of children.
They all appeared to be only ten to fifteen years old, their figures still somewhat childish, yet their features held no trace of childishness. Each of their eyes reflected a chilling silence that was not of ordinary children. Their steps were extremely synchronized, showing no panic even when treading on fiery earth, as steady and unwavering as hell iron forged in fire.
What's even more striking are their clothing and weapons.
These children were all dressed in "Ten Thousand Fire Pattern Land Combat Suit," a long-lost battle robe based on the rules of fire. The entire garment was woven with crimson-gold star patterns, each line containing the order of the fire path, the flame of life, and the breath of Ji Lü. The surface of the suit was faintly covered with densely packed burning inscriptions, as if countless miniature planets were burning. The shoulders were engraved with complex totems: the Four Symbols of Heavenly Emanation burning seals floated within three layers of fire lotuses, symbolizing that they all came from the extreme core bloodline of some kind of fire-based clan.
And the weapons they wielded were even more astonishing.
Some carried three fire-patterned hook blades on their backs, their blades burning with crackling flames; others held a long spear, its shaft like a falling crimson star, its tip swirling with a vortex of time-melting currents; and yet another held a floating fire lantern soul core in his hand, as if the very essence of the Burning Realm's destiny had been ignited within it, each flash releasing a resonant pulse of the laws of fire.
Their eyes were calm and empty, as if controlled by some inexplicable fire-based will, or as if they were spirits formed from flames, devoid of emotion and fear, existing solely for a single goal.
Yan Yue frowned slightly. "These children... are not ordinary people."
A rare look of fear flashed in Yi Xuanyan's eyes. "This is... the Burning Lord Fallen Realm Clan... the Primordial Flame Battle Children within the Myriad Flame Source... They are the remnants of the Fire Dao's Annihilation Era, the blood-sacrificing soldiers used to suppress the aura of alien races before being awakened by the 'Myriad Primordial Fire Source'!"
Qin Yu's gaze sharpened, a faint glint of light igniting in his eyes. "You mean, they are all... the guardians of the 'Burning Fire Fate Dao'?"
"Yes..." Yi Xuanyan a low voice, "Moreover, each one can trigger the fundamental structure of the Primordial Flame..."
In an instant, the row of children stood silently. At the front, the youngest fire child slowly raised the starfire spear in his hand. The starlight illuminated his pale yet indifferent face, and he spoke softly:
"--Invader of [Starflame Silent Realm]."
"Destroy."
As that word fell, the world changed drastically. Crimson flames cascaded down from the sky like a waterfall, and a storm of starfire swept in from all directions. The entire fire domain of the universe seemed to begin to repel Qin Yu and his group.
The flames of war were ignited at the starting point of the "Burning Child Realm".
Starfire swept across the sky, and the rules of fire transformed into countless scorching rays that fell from the heavens, seemingly intent on burning the entire universe to ashes. Facing the Prelude Fire Battle Child team, which was capable of incinerating the souls of all races, Qin Yu's eyes were indifferent. He reached out with his right hand, and with a "hum" in the void, a divine sword like a black and gold shadow appeared out of nowhere.
--The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword has appeared in the world.
Qin Yu frowned slightly, his right hand rising slightly, and the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword materialized in his palm. Flames surged across its dark blade, seemingly intent on devouring the entire void. His gaze darkened as he stared at the youthful-looking fiery-transformed individual, and he said in a low voice:
"Since it is not of the spirit of ordinary fire, then—it shall be severed from its soul."
The next moment, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword slashed out diagonally!
[Sever the Soul in Nine Silences]--
In an instant, heaven and earth seemed to freeze. The sword light pierced through several layers of spiritual space, instantly transforming into nine pitch-black annihilation marks, like nine world -World Extinguisher seals slashing into the opponent's sea of consciousness. The strange fire-transformed being's expression changed drastically in an instant, the fire patterns on his body exploded one after another, and nine broken soul chains appeared in his consciousness. Each one seemed to peel away a dimension of his existence, a layer of cognition.
Boom!!
His sea of consciousness trembled, and his soul was annihilated like ashes. The strange fire-transformed being staggered backward, a fiery crack exploding in his chest. He spat out a mouthful of crimson-gold fiery blood, his eyes filled with horror.
"What is this... what kind of sword is this...?"
But Qin Yu did not stop. He formed another hand seal with his left hand and turned the sword again!
[The Sever the Spirit Source Abyss]--
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword struck again, and a vortex like the collapse of Black Abyss surged from its blade, as if severing the entire foundation connecting the enemy's soul core to the spiritual source of heaven and earth in one fell swoop! Accompanied by a terrifying spatial tremor, a "spiritual Source Severance" was forcibly torn open at the center of the alien fire's sea of consciousness.
Boom!!!
His entire being seemed to have been drained of its foundation; all his fire techniques and spiritual fluctuations collapsed in an instant, countless soul-scorching fire imprints shattered and scattered, his combat skills became ineffective, and his sea of consciousness fell into a deathly silence and blankness.
He collapsed to his knees, his breath nearly gone, his body riddled with cracks, and his life force depleted.
While using her Fate Soul Shield to block the attacks of the other Flame Transformers, Yan Yue looked intently at Qin Yu and said softly, "Yu, your attack was enough to intimidate them. They are only temporarily under control; it's not advisable to kill them completely."
Qin Yu sheathed his sword, the black-gold flames returning to their original position, and replied calmly, "Understood."
At this point, the young demon-transformed being had half his soul severed and his spiritual source collapsed, leaving him with no power to fight. The other demon-transformed beings were completely intimidated by Qin Yu's two consecutive strikes and dared not make a move.
The battle has temporarily ceased its fierce advance.
Within the Blazing Starfield, the lingering flames of annihilation still rippled in the void, and Qin Yu's figure stood solemnly like a god amidst the firelight. The black-gold annihilation flames emanating from the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword had not yet been completely extinguished, and as the sword vibrated, it seemed to be whispering an oath to the rules of annihilation.
The severely injured boy, who had transformed from a different type of fire, knelt on the ground, barely breathing. The other boys looked terrified, their eyes reflecting the illogical scene of Qin Yu unleashing [Sever the Soul in Nine Silences] and [Sever the Spirit Source Abyss]. Their hearts were filled with fear, and they dared not take another step forward.
At this moment, Qin Yu raised his head, his gaze sweeping over them like cold stars. His voice was like a celestial bell falling from Annihilation Abyss, cold and resolute:
"If you continue to be so stubborn and obstruct my path..."
"I, Qin Yu, will utterly Annihilation you all."
As the last four words were uttered, the heavens and earth trembled. The illusory Azure Ring behind Qin Yu appeared and disappeared, and wisps of annihilating light emerged from the starlight, reflecting on his cold profile, like a judge walking out of chaos.
The children, who had transformed from strange flames, looked at each other in dismay. Finally, they dared not linger any longer. Supporting the seriously injured among themselves, they turned and flew away towards the other end of the blazing domain.
They drifted further and further away in the storm of sparks, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air:
"We... are no match for them... This person... is not to be trifled with..."
The wind howled past, and the fiery domain fell silent once more.
Yan Yue slowly walked to Qin Yu's side, watching his departing figure, and said softly, "It seems this Fire Domain is indeed not simple."
Qin Yu's gaze sharpened, and he slowly said, "Hmm. Since they are guarding this place, it means that the level of that strange fire... is far beyond ordinary."
He turned to Yi Xuanyan: "Lead the way, we want to see for ourselves whether this 'Transcendental Source Fire' you speak of truly possesses the power to incinerate all logic."
Yi Xuanyan hurriedly, pointing with a mixture of excitement and awe towards the far reaches of the Starfire Abyss:
"At the very core of the Fire Domain lies the [Annihilation Radiance Fire Extreme Realm], and the fire resides within it... My lords, please follow me!"
The three of them soared through the air, flying at full speed towards the strange fire domain known as capable of "incinerating the original manuscript of logic."
