Vowing to Defend the Annihilation Abyss (Seven)

"Utterly laughable. They dare to resist with such a lousy skill? It might be enough to deal with those ants who are True Immortal Great Emperor transcend dimensions."

As the black-robed elder's chillingly mocking laugh faded, he flicked his sleeve, and the void shattered like a storm, the [Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Ninth Form - Sever Observation, Leaving No Mirror] unleashed by Qin Yu Yingling was abruptly "cancelled" in that invisible ripple.

It's not about resisting or resolving, but about stripping the logic of its skill from the "definition of existence"—as if the move had never been unleashed.

This scene shook the entire battlefield. Even the expressions of Venerable Lord Tong Ning and Hall Master Yan Xu suddenly became solemn.

Qin Yu Yingling's eyes were fixed on the black-robed figure. Her divine sword rang out, but it stopped in mid-air, standing motionless.

The old man in black robes ignored him, speaking softly, his voice devoid of emotion, carrying only a cold, judgmental tone:

"A mere Yingling... is ultimately just a fleeting remnant of a thought."

"Your master has not yet returned, and I have no interest in delaying any longer."

With one step he took, the sky changed color and all things collapsed.

A statue appeared behind him.

[Chaos Profound Cause - Abyss-Severing Divine Staff]

The entire staff is forged from Annihilation crystals and soul-source bone chains, with twelve layers of epochal shackles appearing on its top, each symbolizing the Ultimate definition of a causal rule of the main universe.

At the moment of its appearance, the primordial energy of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch surged back, withered, and collapsed wildly, as if it itself had already foreseen its impending demise.

The old man in black robes slowly raised his divine staff. Heaven and earth stopped, time fractured, and space lost all possibility of expansion. All life forms in the Annihilation Abyss Epoch felt one thing at this moment:

They are being excluded from the world.

"Let's end this."

The old man in black robes spoke like the final tolling of a bell, descending from the heavens.

Skill: Annihilation Realm Severance - Nameless Divine Curse

The region of "Annihilation Abyss Epoch" will be completely removed from the cosmic register of "Source of Epochless";

All life forms, consciousnesses, and energy entities will no longer be recognized by the "Epoch Origin Primary Law," becoming empty, uncarried forms of existence.

It cannot be revived, recalled, or repaired; it is a "cosmic deletion-level spell" that is only allowed once in the "Final Deletion Chapter."

The heavens turned blood-red, the earth crumbled and floated, and the triple heaven-locking barrier of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch was collapsing inch by inch.

Even Tong Ning was no longer indifferent; her eyes flashed with unprecedented shock, anger, and regret. "This is bad... It's a cosmic judgment at the level of the Ultimate deletion...!"

"He can actually cast this spell..."

The Hall Master Yan Xu the force of the collapsing void with a single palm strike, his face blank. "The Annihilation Abyss Epoch has been completely—deleted from all written records..."

Qian Ruishan, Mu Qingwan, Zhou Yu, and others who were seriously injured and collapsed also felt the excruciating pain of their souls being squeezed and their existence being "detached from the main narrative of the universe." The intense pain was like their souls struggling and crying out in the face of countless worlds, but they received no response.

Above the Annihilation Abyss Epoch, the entire realm fell into utter silence.

All that remained were the twelve world-ending curses that appeared when the divine staff rose, as if writing an ending poem for the universe.

The old man in black robes finished speaking:

"This record should not have survived."

The staff is about to fall in the next instant.

Just as the black-robed elder raised the [Chaos Profound Cause - Abyss-Severing Divine Staff], and the world-destroying curse was about to fall, the entire world of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch, its myriad phenomena, chains of rules, and spatial axis were being erased layer by layer by the "Cosmic Deletion Chapter"—

Suddenly, the heavens unleashed a furious roar that ripped through the rifts of space and time, piercing through the ten realms of the Epoch Origin.

"You bastards of Truth... you await your doom!!"

That sound did not seem to come from an ordinary person, but rather it was the roar of the entire Annihilation Abyss Epoch Master itself!

In the next instant, two chains of light suddenly appeared in the sky, tearing through the void and slicing through the divine incantation!

"--The Realm-Overturning Primordial Cosmos!"

Boom!!!

The heavens seemed to have been struck by a devastating blow, and the tattered pages of the Book of Epoch Origin were forcibly reversed at that moment!

A beam of destructive light, formed by Azure Ring, descended from the void, like a collapsing galaxy. Countless layers of Annihilation and cause and effect overlapped to form a ring-shaped ripple, gradually twisting and shattering the final erasure array constructed by the black-robed old man.

The halo pierced through the barriers of heaven and earth, froze time, and shattered logic; every inch it swept across seemed to tear a crack in the very definition of the "main universe."

Twelvefold World-Severing Curse Rings --

First stage: Shattering.

Second ring: tear.

The third, fourth, fifth... up to the tenth ring—all broken!

Just as the eleventh ring was forcibly interrupted by "Realm-Overturning Primordial Cosmos," a second voice echoed through the heavens:

"The Silent Realm Returns to the Beginning; Fate's Existence Completely Covers All!"

Boom--------!!!

A beam of light—no longer ring-shaped, but the "core annihilation imprint" formed by the essence of destruction—rolled upwards from the deepest part of the era.

It was a divine seal like a vortex of annihilation light, carrying a vortex of rules that Beng Yin of destiny, the return of soul consciousness to zero, and the complete reconstruction of the cosmic narrative, directly striking the most core element of the [Abyss-Severing Divine Staff].

When the mark struck the head of the staff, the entire cosmic-level spell trembled violently!

It's like forcibly tearing open, igniting, and giving Fate Soul to a world that was "about to close"!

The last two rings of the twelve-ring rings, at this moment--

It exploded with a bang!!

Within the chaotic black light, the black-robed elder's staff, suspended high in the air, trembled violently, cracking two inches in the process, thus shattering the entire final erasure spell—

Collapse.

Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!

Above the vast sky, the calamity clouds collapsed, and the main axis of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch space reconnected to the Source of Epochless!

The light of heaven shattered, and azure radiance entered the world!

Before anyone could even recover from this impending Annihilation—

A figure slowly stepped into the center of the world from outside the Annihilation Abyss Epoch Realm.

He strode upon the desolate storm, the Azure Ring behind him burning fiercely like azure-gold starlight;

The [Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword] in his hand hung silently, yet before it was raised, it had already shaken all the laws of nature;

Beside her, a graceful figure, like fresh snowflakes falling on dust, shimmering with light, appeared—it was none other than Yao Zhiyan, who followed closely behind.

--Qin Yu, Lord of the Annihilation Abyss, has returned.

The world Ji Ran.

At this moment, the entire Annihilation Abyss Epoch seemed to have finally "reclaimed its own heartbeat."

[The Annihilation Crown Emperor An - All Daos Lost] knelt on the ground, the three dark beings choking back sobs;

Qian Ruishan, Mu Qingwan, Zhou Yu, Yao Wanqing, Xuancang Shenying Grand Venerable Mingxu, Mingxu Dazun, Ling Jingxi, Tong Ning, Yan Xu...

All beings from the Annihilation Abyss Epoch, allies, divine pills, and shapeshifters present, upon witnessing this familiar figure step into this realm—

One after another, in unison--

Kneel on the ground.

"My lord... Qin Yu, return to your place."

Tong Ning and Yan Xu stood to the side, their eyes also reddening at this moment. "He's finally back."

At that moment, all the fear, pain, and sorrow of the bloody battle in their hearts were finally relieved by the figure slowly walking in the blue light.

This is not the moment the protagonist returns.

This moment is--

[Realm Master: Return to Narrative]

Heaven will never perish.

The Annihilation Abyss Epoch, undying.

At the moment when the world seemed to freeze in silence, Qin Yu, accompanied by Yao Zhiyan, slowly descended from the radiance of the Azure Ring Rift Realm. Their footsteps left no trace, yet they arrived like a god, carrying with them the imposing power of the Silent Realm.

He remained silent, yet his figure seemed to hold the reins of destiny for all realms. Yao Zhiyan stood quietly beside him, her black hair flowing like frost in the night, gazing at the ravaged battlefield with a slightly cold look in her eyes.

And in the distance.

The old man in black robes, whose gaze had always been arrogant and disdainful of everything, trembled almost imperceptibly for a moment.

He was well aware of the dual reconstruction technique he had just used: "Realm-Overturning Primordial Cosmos" and "Returning to the Silent Realm Returns to the Beginning - Fate's Existence Completely Covers All."

It is neither fiction nor simulation, but a genuine, Origin Framework- level annihilation technique!

At this moment, the face of Yan Zhentong, the progenitor of the True Word Extremity Hall, finally twisted completely. He took a step back to the side of the black-robed elder and whispered:

"How... how could he still be alive... and even stronger?!"

At this moment, Qin Yu finally parted his lips slightly, his tone calm yet like the voice of a deity emerging from the laws of destiny:

"Yingling, return to your original form."

With this simple summons, the [Yingling], who had been standing to the side, battered and bloodied, yet with an unquenchable fighting spirit in his eyes—

He suddenly bowed deeply.

"As you command, Master."

The next moment.

His pupils ignited with a bluish light.

He raised the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword high in his hand, then slashed through the void!

One after another, the chains of cause and effect intertwined with "Qin Yu's " Fate Soul bloomed from Yingling's body, accompanied by the burning of a wisp of the core essence of "Silent Beginning Soul Brand".

Three swirling blue-silver marks emerged from his chest, sea of consciousness, and soul core.

--That is [Yingling Core - Annihilation Abyss Memory], [Fate Track Reflection - Battlefield Control], [Ring Master Soul Recognition - Synchronization Anchor].

"Silent Beginning - Ring Master Soul Diagram - Yingling Return Together--!"

Boom!!!

A beam of light, interwoven with countless causal trajectories, Yingling consciousness and reached Qin Yu's forehead!

He didn't move, yet his eyes shone with a dazzling, Xing Ji- like brilliance.

At that moment, everyone, every gaze, every thought on the entire battlefield... witnessed a scene that shook the very depths of their souls—

Yingling's body gradually transformed into a divine radiance of annihilation within the light, radiating countless rays of azure and silver starlight.

Inch by inch, thread by thread, it flowed into every Soul Master chain of Qin Yu's soul.

Within his sea of consciousness, the [Silent Beginning - Ring Master Soul Diagram] was resonating!

The [Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword] emitted waves of vibration from hundreds of soul patterns, with spiritual energy flowing to its extreme and sonic booms resounding continuously!

Boom boom boom boom--

As the last wisp of annihilation light surged in, Qin Yu's body erupted with divine light, as if the world rules of the "entire Annihilation Abyss Epoch" were welcoming the return of their true master!

Qin Yu quietly opened his eyes.

Wherever his gaze fell, the old man in black robes' eyes darkened completely.

He sensed it.

That was not a cultivator who had "returned to their original form".

Rather, it is a supreme being who has completely merged with his own Fate Soul Yingling, and awakened the Annihilation Abyss Fate Track - a state of complete control!

Qin Yu reached out and caught the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword that slowly fell into his hand, and gripped it tightly.

The Ring Master's aura... has returned to its place.

The Annihilation Abyss Epoch, the True Master of War --

Reborn and standing tall.

Qin Yu at the heart of the Silent Realm, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword hanging low in his hand. Before him lay the great world he had constructed with his Fate Soul and nourished with the primordial life trajectory—now, however, it was like the ashes after the apocalypse, shattered and broken.

The vast Annihilation Abyss sky was covered with cracks, the star orbits were already disordered, the chains of the triple heaven lock were mostly broken, and the desolate blue star river that originally stretched across the boundary sky was now broken and scattered. The remaining spiritual light flickered weakly in the deathly silent sky, like dying starlight.

Beneath the abyss, the earth sank.

Seventy percent of the Annihilation Abyss Palace collapsed, ninety percent of the Soul Array Dao Patterns were destroyed, and thousands of Soul Annihilation Veins were broken inch by inch. The array spiritual energy that originally flowed within it has now turned into corpse-white cold smoke, remaining between the crushed palace walls.

At the center of the battlefield, countless Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm array beings and thousands of divine pill battle spirits lay scattered on the ground.

Some had cracks all over their bodies, some had lost their souls, and many had long since been reduced to their original forms as spirit stones and remnants of elixirs.

Mixed into the shattered planetary soil, like unclaimed remains.

In the sky, the corpses of the Primordial Void Realm · Ultimate disciples of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall littered the ground, orderly and silent.

Each broken body seemed to still be guarding the front line, but the will to fight had turned into a final, lingering thought that remained in the air and had not dissipated.

Further away are dozens of collapsed "Annihilation Soul Peak".

The inscription that should have been engraved with the thousand-year history of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch was completely erased by the fire and the power of destruction.

Only lines of fragmented whispered words remained, swaying in the wind.

It was as if the whole world was whispering and sighing:

"As long as this world remains, countless souls Bugui."

"As long as my lord has a breath left, the Annihilation Abyss will never yield."

Qin Yu slowly tightened his grip on the sword hilt, blood dripping from his palm down the hilt.

Yao Zhiyan stood quietly beside him, watching all this, her eyes slightly reddening.

But she didn't speak; she knew that only silence could do justice to the pain of this land.

Heaven and earth were as if dead.

The shards of battle spirits that had not yet completely dissipated still floated in the air.

Each one embodies the fighting spirit and faith of the Annihilation Abyss disciples, now transformed into unclaimed remnants of world souls.

Drifting aimlessly in this shattered realm.

Qin Yu took a step forward and gently landed among the shattered earth.

Beneath their feet lay a broken, Azure Ring Heavenly Steps.

This is the main vein of the original soul array that he personally set up in the past, connecting the nine domains and twelve palaces of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch.

Now, it lies on the ground like a broken spine, its body cold and devoid of any echo of laws.

Qin Yu stopped.

The wind swept past the edge of his cloak.

And in his eyes, that cold, still glint finally ignited a barely perceptible "abyssal flame"...

That wasn't anger.

That was the will of the Realm Master reborn from annihilation.

At that moment, he murmured softly:

"Annihilation Abyss... I'm back."

"From this moment on, this debt must be settled, one by one..."
