The crimson and black mist rolled in again, and thousands of strange beasts bared their fangs and claws, breaking through the illusory mist layer and rushing towards the six people like a hungry horde.
Yao Zhiyan leaped forward first, shouting, "Butterfly Reflection—Dawn Returns to the Abyss!"
With a flick of her slender finger, the butterfly wings behind her spun like star rings, and the entire space was refracted by seven layers of Mirror Wheel, like a reflection of the Milky Way. In an instant, several strange beasts roared in terror, as their own claw attacks and roars were reflected back at them in the mirror!
"Boom--Boom!" The head of a six-armed ape was directly shattered by its own previous Soul Rend Roar!
Star marks flowed, dreams swirled, and Yao Zhiyan gently raised her hand, unleashing the second move, [Star Mark Mirror Butterfly - Mingxi Binding]! The entire mist seemed to freeze, and the bodies of more than a dozen strange beasts were frozen, completely sealed in the mist by the Star Butterfly Array, as if they had been slapped into transparent amber, unable to struggle.
Amidst a series of booming sounds, Yao Zhiyan's butterfly wings swirled, and she suddenly unleashed the third move: [Dreamlike Dawn Revolving Wheel]!
Countless silver butterfly flames exploded within the crimson and black mist, each flame sweeping across the enemy's skill source points. The beast's soul, power, and structure shattered into dust-like particles like stars, annihilated within the butterfly flames!
She single-handedly slew twelve strange beasts, completely stunning the four people present!
Before Yao Zhiyan's butterfly shadows had completely dissipated, strange beasts surged out again from all around. More than ten black flame spirit-eating beasts with strange patterns engraved on their bodies, crimson eyes, and mountain-like figures charged out from the red and black mist!
Ling Yingying stood behind Zhiyan, flicked her sleeves, and the ancient conch shell hummed in her ears as she suddenly released [Linghai Lianxin·Kuishen Jue]!
"Whoosh!" Seven ripples of sound washed over them like a nightmare, each note slicing across the heads of the strange beasts. They paused, then began to convulse, retreating repeatedly, spitting out black blood!
Then, twelve blue-gold annihilation lines shot out from the shell, and [Heart Waves - Silk Lock Wheel of Silence] was fully activated!
The pupils of the twelve strange beasts suddenly dilated, and in the next instant—their souls were torn out in mid-air, slivers of them drawn into the "Illusory Dream Sealing Wheel" composed of blue-gold silk, unable to extricate themselves!
The heavens and earth seemed to be falling rain Ling Yingying softly chanted her final incantation. "Dreams vanish, gods perish, seas churn."
"Boom!!"
A vast, ethereal blue sea appeared out of thin air, its shells shooting skyward and exploding into ocean waves. Souls, beings, and consciousness were all swept into the abyss's tide, and the beast horde collapsed, their bodies dissipating into quicksand-like fragments!
Yao Zhiyan whispered, "Yingying doesn't make a move unless she does, and when she does, she annihilates all enemies."
Amidst the thick black and red fog, the ground trembled incessantly, and a horde of strange beasts swarmed in like ants crawling on bones, their ferocious roars seemingly tearing the entire Soul Cavern Dense Forest apart!
Yin Zishuang stood in the midst of the five-person formation, her long hair billowing in the turbulent soul pressure, a shimmering icy Ziling mark between her brows. She formed a hand seal, and suddenly a beautiful yet chilling soul shadow appeared behind her.
It was a nine-winged ice phoenix, its entire body crystal clear like frost-covered feathers, with intricate star runes flowing beneath its wings. Ice blue and purple light intertwined to construct a "Silent Frost Soul Domain." The moment it flapped its wings, the entire world seemed to fall into a frozen nightmare!
That's right--
Yin Zishuang's Innate Martial Soul: Frost Nightmare Extreme Phoenix
Type: Soul Ice Judgment System - Frozen Soul Consciousness Structure Martial Soul
Form: Nine-winged Frost Phoenix, its entire body is composed of ice soul crystals, its phoenix eyes are like purple ice stars, and its tail feathers show the patterns of the Fate Soul's rotation.
Features: Freezes the core of the sea of consciousness, severs the connection to the soul domain, and reverses the flow of spiritual energy.
Combat Skill 1: Extreme Frost Soul Rend Formation
Yin Zishuang pushed her palm forward, and instantly a three-layered six-pointed star array of overlapping blue and purple appeared. The rhythmic patterns, like frost crystals intertwined, spun rapidly in mid-air, and countless "Soul-Rending Extreme Blade" burst forth from the center of the array.
Space was frozen into shattered hexagonal prisms by the array patterns, as if freezing reality outside of time;
All the beasts that charged to the front of the formation were immediately pierced through their soul cores by ice crystals, and turned into a sky full of ice dust amidst their mournful roars;
Before the dust had settled, the second round of Soul-Rending Extreme Blade had already changed direction, chasing after the remaining alien beasts and shredding their consciousness tracks inch by inch!
Phoenix Soul Reflection: Severed Recognition Diagram
The Frost Phoenix flapped its wings, and a dark purple scroll of soul patterns appeared behind it, a frozen scene that severed "memory and consciousness".
Yin Zishuang whispered, "Severing consciousness... Sealing the soul!"
The soul shadows of all the strange beasts appeared in the painting, and then with a wave of her hand, they reversed. The soul shadows in the painting instantly froze and shattered, and the corresponding strange beasts in reality all froze, as if they had lost their soul support, standing still and howling in pain.
This skill is:
Accurately identify the location of the beast's core soul, and use a virtual scroll to seal its "thoughts and actions";
The skill instantly freezes the enemy's soul, causing them to completely lose their commands and behavioral logic for a short period of time;
In team battles, it can create excellent opportunities for other teammates to "spot kills".
Phoenix Descends Upon the Soul: The Frozen Heaven's Extreme Realm Splitting
The moment this technique was unleashed, the world changed color!
With a loud shout, Yin Zishuang her Nine-Winged Frost Phoenix, which spread its wings for thousands of feet, transforming into a streak of aurora phoenix shadow that stretched across the sky. Its claws hooked the heavens, and its tail swept the ground, causing the temperature in the entire misty area to plummet to the extreme point of the "Ice Soul Realm".
The Extreme Cold Soul Realm was subsequently formed:
The ground was frozen solid, revealing thousands of feet of icy scales, like phoenix feathers descending to earth;
All the alien beasts were forcibly bound by Soul Ice Chains, freezing their soul shells, physical bodies, and spiritual veins simultaneously;
Core effect: Forcibly stops all enemy "regeneration mechanisms" and "mist amplification of causality" with the ice field, preventing enemies from "regenerating and changing" again!
With the activation of this technique, the edges of the red and black mist area collapsed significantly, greatly reducing the pressure on the team!
At this moment, Ling Yingying was on the left and Yao Zhiyan was on the right. Behind Yin Zishuang, the shadow of the aurora frost phoenix was like a cold moon, setting off her stunningly beautiful face and exuding an astonishing pressure on the soul.
She spoke softly, her voice as cold as frost. "I have frozen their soul chains, Li Xiayue, Nangong Quan, now I hand them over to you."
The roars of the strange beasts approached like a raging tide. Dozens of three-eyed, armor-splitting spiders, seven-tailed soul-devouring snakes, and rotten spirit-devouring lions launched a surprise attack from within the black and red mist. Amidst the howling winds, a dense Sha Qi bloodlust swept in all directions.
Suddenly, a bolt of azure lightning, like waves crashing against a raging sea, shot up from Qin Yu's side!
Li Xiayue, dressed in a black robe with lightning patterns, with long hair like a waterfall, his eyes reflecting thunderous fury, his aura violently fluctuating. He stood in mid-air, holding a lightning-colored halberd in his hand, the halberd's body flashing with lightning patterns, like a raging galaxy.
The next instant, his Innate Martial Soul suddenly appeared behind him—
⸻Innate Martial Soul: Annihilation Lightning Source - Heaven-Slaying Halberd Spirit
Form: A phantom of a thunder god, clad in Realm Breaking battle armor, wielding the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Halberd, standing atop the tribulation clouds.
Ability characteristics:
[Tribulation Origin Disintegration]: Severing the enemy's defense mechanisms and structural logic;
[Thunder Emanation Annihilation]: Lightning contains factors that can disintegrate soul consciousness, and can forcibly annihilate the soul core;
[Realm Severing, Cause Breaking]: Sever Karma, cutting through the extension of enemy skills.
"Lightning Strike - Annihilation Realm Slash!"
Li Xiayue roared, raising his thunder halberd high. Instantly, thousands of thunderclouds appeared in the void, and the thunder roared like a multitude of dragons! A bolt of lightning, hundreds of feet long, crashed down, its light scorching the sky, as if tearing apart the entire mist!
Boom!!! Dozens of strange beasts exploded under this slash. The lightning was like a knife, cutting through their bodies. Each lightning explosion caused an annihilation wave at the soul level, and the enemy's sea of consciousness seemed to be shattered!
Amidst the dust and mist, Li Xiayue swept his halberd through the air. "Dare to touch my companions? Die!"
--Nangong Quan's Appearance in the Netherworld Ice Realm--
At the same time, the mist on the other side suddenly trembled violently, and an extremely cold aura swept out, freezing the mist wherever it passed, and the strange beast's body slowly solidified into ice crystals.
Nangong Quan stepped out of the mist, dressed in white as snow, standing on ice lotus, holding a completely transparent "Spirit Ice Moon-Burying Sword" in his hand. His aura was as calm as an ice lake, yet it concealed a chilling current that had lasted for ten thousand years.
He looked up and parted his thin lips slightly. "Ice suppresses all spirits, the Netherworld closes its boundaries."
The martial spirit behind him suddenly unfolded.
⸻Innate Martial Soul: Netherworld Ice Lord - Burial Spirit Totem
Form: A phantom image of an ancient well frozen in the depths of the abyss, with a sword-bone divine ice weapon suppressed in the center, surrounded by a faint blue aura.
[Freeze Soul Consciousness]: Freezes the enemy's combat consciousness.
[Ice-Inscribed Causal Law]: Freezes the enemy's skill duration chain;
[Spring Pressure Spirit Sealing]: Has a suppressive effect on spirit-type beasts.
"Nether Abyss: Ice-Locked Extreme Domain"
With a single swing of his sword, Nangong Quan unleashed a chilling aura that stretched for miles! The ground instantly transformed into an ice field, and a three-headed Flame-Patterned Tiger that had just leaped into the air was frozen solid, its struggling soul instantly turning into annihilated snow!
The Sword Qi surged like waves, unleashing hundreds of snow-like rings. Enemies were frozen and shattered into ice crystals one after another, creating a scene resembling a deathly, snow-covered prison.
He whispered, "Snow covers the three abysses, all spirits seal the bones."
⸻--Fighting Side by Side, Six People Gather--
At this point in the battle, Qin Yu (Mo Chen), Yao Zhiyan, Ling Yingying, Yin Zishuang, Li Xiayue, and Nangong Quan gathered in the Misty Domain, each displaying their divine skills. Their battle lights converged, like six stars shining together, blooming under the black and red sky of the Soul Cavern Dense Forest!
The mist churned and trembled, and the tide of strange beasts receded. In this battle, the six had initially gained control of this core area.
Suddenly, the crimson and black mist grew even thicker, as if the entire world was covered by a nauseating layer of bloody death energy. Qin Yu and the five disciples of the Sequence Wheel Eternal Hall walked slowly forward, every inch of the ground beneath their feet was a mixture of decaying and bloody debris. Just as they passed through a broken archway of soul rock, the world suddenly fell silent.
In the silence, a roar as if from the depths of hell suddenly exploded—
"Roar------!!!"
This sound was not an ordinary roar, but a judgmental voice, directly affecting the sea of consciousness and the logic of cause and effect. It seemed to come from the very root of the world's structure, carrying the will to "strip away speech," "annihilate consciousness," and "reconstruct logic."
Yao Zhiyan was the first to be hit, coughing up blood. Her eyes suddenly went black, and a tearing vortex appeared in her sea of consciousness. Ling Yingying and Yin Zishuang knelt down and coughed up blood at the same time. Their souls were shaken, and even their Fate Soul dimmed for a moment. Although Nangong Quan and Li Xiayue had higher cultivation, they were also shocked and bled from all seven orifices, their faces pale.
Only Qin Yu's eyes narrowed, and a blue light appeared behind him, quietly radiating a faint starlight, separating the roaring sound from the outside, remaining calm and undisturbed.
He slowly raised his head and gazed into the depths of the mist.
--At that moment, everyone saw it.
Amidst the swirling mist, a figure slowly emerged from the deathly silence.
It was a tall, humanoid being clad in a tattered crimson robe and wearing a Lie Jiao battle crown. Its entire body was composed of obsidian-like fragments of bone armor, and its face was hidden beneath a sealed iron helmet of judgment. In the center of its chest was a "Remnant God's Fire Core" burning with crimson soul fire, which dripped red soul liquid incessantly, staining every inch of the ground beneath its feet and turning into rising blood mist.
He gripped a bronze-colored longsword tightly in his right hand, its blade covered with shattered "Old Discipline Inscriptions," as if it had cleaved through countless eras, and he himself seemed to be "the remnant judge after the end of order."
He is not a living being; he is the remains of the Judge, the "Silent Judge" born from the reverse structure of the red and black mist!
He took a step, and all sounds within a radius of three zhang vanished.
He looked up, and a dark red starlight flashed through the gaps in his helmet.
The next instant, the world seemed to fall into a silent grave.
"What... what is that?" Yao Zhiyan's lips trembled, and she almost forgot how to speak.
"Not a strange beast... that is..." Yin Zishuang's pupils contracted, "I've seen the ancient scrolls in the hall that record... that it was... a powerful sovereign who was Annihilation ten thousand years ago, and his soul was actually... reconstructed and revived?"
"I... I can't sense its name, its power, its intentions... Even the Heavenly Dao refuses to write it down." Nangong Quan choked out.
Li Xiayue gripped the spear tightly, cold sweat pouring down his face. "It's a terrifying relic that shouldn't exist in logic."
The five of them, severely injured, were utterly powerless to fight back. The "Silent Judge" simply held his sword horizontally before him.
On the ancient bronze sword, crimson soul flames flowed, and every broken "command script" on the sword began to gleam faintly.
It... is about to draw its sword.
--
At this moment, only Qin Yu stood before the five, single-handedly blocking their attack.
He slowly stepped forward, his eyes as cold and sharp as starlight in the night.
"You are remains... then return to Annihilation."
Silent Origin - Tribulationless Chapter - Silent Origin: Wheel-Breaking Seal--
With a flick of his fingertip, starlight gathered in his palm and was imprinted downwards. Instantly, a halo of light collapsed, like a vortex of annihilation during the destruction of a galaxy!
Crimson flames and black mist intertwined as the bronze longsword suddenly swung down!
Two annihilating forces collided violently deep within the Soul Cavern Dense Forest!
