Above the core sealed boundary of the Five Gods Temple at the Source of Epochless, divine power gathered and cracked.
The radiant light, a blend of blue and green, continued to cascade down from the void like a celestial waterfall, while the halo, resembling the will of judgment, suppressed the entire sealed realm into an invisible silence.
At this moment, the five remaining ancestors from the five temples finally rose into the air from the central core of the sealed realm and stood in the void.
They are:
Yan Fengyuan, the patriarch of the True Word Extremity Hall, is the Supreme of the Only Book Realm and is in charge of the [True Word Life-Severing Scripture].
The Venerable Ancestor of the Fate Que Hall, Xun Qianjue, possessed the Only Book Realm Supreme held the [Thirteen Fate Wheel Techniques].
The Ancestor of the Fate Cause Spirit Tower, Si Yuanchen Supreme, possesses the Only Book Realm, specializing in the [Spirit Strategy Fate Prophecy Chapter].
Ancestor of the Law God Origin Court, Li Chuhui, the Only Book Realm Supreme of the Book Realm, a Law-Level Construct Technician;
Ji Yuan Qijue, the ancestor of the Yuan family, Yuan Supreme, the Only Book Realm Epoch Book Sealing Abyss, once compiled the original book of the Epoch Realm Seal.
Behind the five, the true forms of the temples projected in mid-air appeared in each of them. These were the Dharma images of the five temple ruins. Although they were incomplete, they still exuded the most ancient order power of the Source of Epochless.
[Yan Fengyuan] slowly raised his head, his gaze passing through layers of azure light, confronting the figure slowly approaching from the void. His voice was deep and resonant:
"Qin Yu —there is no past grudge between us. If you hadn't Annihilation my eldest disciple Liang Jichen in the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm, the situation today might have been salvaged."
He didn't speak loudly, but the disciples of the five great temples in the formation heard him clearly. Their eyes were all stern, as if they had found the last bit of reasonable anger in these words of "accountability".
However--
Above the void, Qin Yu slowly stopped, his azure eyes reflecting the aged faces of the five ancestors.
He suddenly smiled.
But that smile carried a chilling and contemptuous air emanating from the depths of the Abyss of Soul Annihilation.
"Hahaha... Yan Fengyuan, you really know how to twist the truth."
"Liang Jichen?"
Qin Yu gently clenched his right hand, and a scene of cause and effect from the past appeared in the void. It was the scene on the Annihilation Ash Plateau where Liang Jichen domineeringly took away the Logic Gestation Source. Then, it projected the scene of the night when the Flower of Stars first bloomed, where Liang Jichen and Yu Minghuang joined hands to set up ten layers of causal locks and spatial imprisonment arrays, trying to completely annihilate him.
Within the illusory image, a storm raged, and murderous intent surged. Liang Jichen coldly declared, "Kill Qin Yu, sacrifice the flower's soul!"
The next moment, Ling Xiaoyou's shadow appeared and forcibly stopped the battle with the Life and Death Reincarnation Technique, barely saving Qin Yu's life.
"If you really want to ask me why I killed him, this is the reason."
Qin Yu raised his eyes, his divine light blazing like a raging inferno, tearing through the heavens and earth.
"If it weren't for Senior Ling Xiaoyou's intervention, none of you would have seen me today, outside my destiny! Liang Jichen? Ha, if he doesn't die, it would be a violation of the natural order."
As soon as the words were spoken, the five patriarchs' faces turned cold.
Yan Fengyuan sneered, "Lies!"
"Even if he has strayed from the right path, you should have handed him over to us for internal judgment, instead of completely annihilating him with the Soul Annihilation Technique! You are the Lord of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch, but do not forget—you are now below the Source of Epochless!"
This statement was intended to use the "Epoch Origin Fa Xu" (a system of rules and regulations) to restrain and suppress Qin Yu.
But--
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu remained calm. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and the Book of Fate Law slowly emerged from his right shoulder. He turned the pages of the Annihilation Abyss Soul Laws, each page recording the complete record of the past hundred years of invasions, assassinations, framing, encirclement, and sacrificial acts committed by the Eight Divine Palaces, including the True Word Extremity Hall, against the Annihilation Abyss Epoch.
Within the azure light, the chronological patterns shimmered, and every scene, every record, and every wisp of Soul Seal was clearly presented in the void.
"The Source of Epochless?"
Qin Yu's gaze sharpened.
"If the Source of Epochless is truly a land of fairness, why are you eight palaces able to besiege my Annihilation Abyss in the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm without any scrutiny?"
"You think I wouldn't dare to defy the rules?"
"Do you think I'm afraid of the combined power of the Five Palaces?"
He reached out, Empty Grasp the Book of Fate Law in a wisp, and slowly closed it.
At that moment, the Azure Ring spun out of the sea of consciousness, swirling with azure light, and then suddenly unfolded behind it like a cosmic origin map, covering the entire sky inch by inch.
"Given the current situation, there is no room for further explanation or concessions."
"You five courtiers, today you too will all Annihilation."
The void fell silent upon hearing this vow.
Epoch Origin trembled, Five Mirror Curse Formation oscillated slightly.
Qin Yu stood high in the void, the Book of Fate Law slowly closing in the Azure Ring glow behind him. Azure divine light, like a bursting dam of stars, swept across the world beneath his feet, creating an silhouette that was both aloof and judgmental.
His gaze swept over the Five Ancestors, his voice growing colder and more stern, revealing a sneer that came from the depths of his being.
"But..."
"I did overestimate your so-called 'temple'."
His voice paused abruptly, then a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a chilling glint emerged in his eyes:
"You lot... are actually at the same cultivation level as that piece of trash, Liang Jichen."
"Only Book Realm?"
Qin Yu chuckled softly.
The laughter echoed above the sealing formation, sharp as a blade, inch by inch tearing apart all the flow of energy within the remnants of the five great temples' formation, forcing the hundreds of thousands of disciples below to have their hearts race and cold sweat pour down their foreheads.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
His loud laughter carried no contempt, but rather a chilling irony.
"So be it... You so-called 'order enforcers above the Epoch Realm's are nothing more than this."
"Liang Jichen, Only Book Realm, is dead."
"And you, too, are Sole Book; today, you too should return to the realm of inscriptions."
Upon hearing this, anger suddenly surged in the eyes of the five patriarchs!
Yan Fengyuan, from the True Word Extremity Hall, stared intently at Qin Yu with a cold light in his eyes, as if cracking ice. He slowly raised his hand, and the True Word Stele in his sea of consciousness was violently shaking.
Xun Qianjue of the Fate Que Hall, his robes revealing chaotic patterns of destiny, his eyes burning with rage, gritted his teeth. "Arrogant brat, you think you can surpass the Realm Master just because you possess a divine halo? You will die!"
The Fate Cause Spirit Tower, the Si Yuanchen, had a chilling gaze as if possessed by a malevolent spirit. He muttered incantations, seemingly beginning to lay out the swirling spell of the Myriad Causes Lock.
Li Chuhui, the Law God Origin Court, had a pale face but was enveloped in a chilling aura. He had already drawn a thread of rules from his sleeve, as if connecting to some extreme method of sealing boundaries.
Epoch Book Sealing Abyss Yuan Qijue remained silent, his right hand slightly outstretched. The tattered original book of the Epoch Realm in the void had already been opened, and the sealing formula on the pages began to rotate, carrying an ancient and sinister aura.
Their gaze--
Like five sharp blades piercing the boundaries of the universe, they were firmly aimed at the radiant figure standing a hundred miles away.
They weren't unmoved; rather, they were forced into anger.
It wasn't that they weren't afraid, but rather that the humiliation ignited the last vestige of dignity and fighting spirit within them.
They knew that if they lost this battle, the five great temples would be completely erased from the Epoch Realm.
--But they know even better:
The young master of the Azure Ring Sect before them was no longer the Lord of the Annihilation Abyss they could underestimate.
Every word he said was not arrogant, but factual.
And they, now, are nothing more than dying men.
Just as the five patriarchs were filled with rage, the young man in Qingyi in the void remained silent.
He slowly raised his right hand, and the wisp of blue light at his fingertips was like the first light of the universe—illuminating the heavens in silence.
The next moment.
"Break through the No Perception, Myriad Extinctions!"
Whispers like judgment, divine command like a ring.
--boom!!!!!
Above the heavens, the Azure Ring spun instantly, countless runes transforming into billions of chains of cause and effect, unleashing an indescribable, mysterious tremor in the void. The entire sky seemed to be forcibly pulled into the "Domain of Absolute Sensitivity"!
A vortex shimmering with a bluish-gold light suddenly exploded from Qin Yu's fingertip.
That's not energy, not a domain, not a seal.
Rather, it's about "concepts".
It is an absolute negation of "existence".
The vortex is silent, yet all worlds weep for it; it is not an impact, but a direct stripping away—
Strip every cultivator in the formation of their "sense of existence"!
At that moment, the grand array above the True Word Extremity Hall began to twist violently!
The giant array pattern disintegrated into rings of runic light, which were shattered upon contact with the Azure Ring of light!
The "Thought-Severing Divine Stele" that appeared at the center of the formation turned into dust, and even the void patterns that recorded the formation's trajectory were forcibly stripped away!
The combined divine sense seals of the five palaces instantly lost their coordinates, and all auras within a range of tens of thousands of miles seemed to be banished to another dimension, directly excluded from the world's vision!
"What is that...?"
"Why can't my consciousness... perceive my own soul anymore?!"
"Do I... do I still exist!?"
Within the formation, millions of disciples were gripped by unprecedented panic!
They seemed to have lost sight of themselves, lost touch with themselves, and were even unable to find "themselves" within the rules of heaven and earth!
The very foundation of their lives is being "deleted" by this skill.
They were not dead, yet—the world defined them as corpses.
At the center of the Azure Ring, the myriad ring patterns that gradually and slowly close are like the eye of a god, judging all things in the world.
The minds of all the cultivators present were shattered. The divine might of the Azure Ring was like the bell of Annihilation, completely crushing the Heavenly Lock Sealing Formation that the True Word Extremity Hall was so proud of.
"Click--!!!"
A deafening, Epoch Realm- shattering roar echoed through the void!
The core array of the True Word Extremity Hall was shattered like porcelain and collapsed like a tower, vanishing without a trace before any smoke or dust rose!
The array base collapsed, the runes reversed, the protective Realm Spirit dissipated, and after tens of thousands of array eyes burst out with blinding white light, they all returned to Space Silence.
The five great temples, and everyone.
Even the ancestor who had experienced the War of Myriad Realms—
At this moment, everyone is looking up at the figure standing beneath the Azure Ring.
He did not unleash Sword Qi, domain power, or the wrath of heaven and earth.
He simply erased you completely from the "center of heaven and earth".
No Perception, Myriad Extinctions; there is no resistance.
One blow completely severed the pillar of the temple's faith.
The sky is no longer pure; blue ripples pierce the earth from the heavens, like a crack in the sky, opening the Ultimate curtain of an epic saga.
Qin Yu stood silently atop the void, Azure Ring appearing behind him, its radiance like that of the newly opened divine realm. Ripples of light from the ring reflected the silent scroll of destiny.
The armies of the five great temples stood in imposing formation, with tens of thousands of disciples soaring into the air, their Spiritual Sense converging into a vast celestial domain. The formations surged, and the soul tides rolled. High above, the five patriarchs sat cross-legged in mid-air, all at the [Supreme Only Book Realm], their divine thoughts like countless mountains and seas, pressing down on the heavens.
At this moment, [Yan Fengyuan] roared with fury:
"Qin Yu, you alone dare to provoke all the disciples of my Five Halls? Do you know that this is a forbidden battle within the Epoch Origin Sealed Realm!"
Qin Yu's eyes were a blend of blue and green, his expression indifferent. He slowly raised his right hand, Azure Ring divine pattern gathered in his palm, winding into his fingertips like threads of Fate-Cause.
I know.
"But--"
His voice was like thunder from the heavens, shaking all realms:
"You so-called temples are already filthy and corrupt. Now, with my Azure Ring, I will annihilate all your remaining calamities."
The Azure Ring suddenly exploded! In an instant, Qin Yu unleashed a beam of azure light from his right finger, transforming into—
No Perception, Myriad Extinctions
The sky seemed to collapse in an instant. That blue light seemed to erase the concept of "reality," no longer light, but rather the disintegration of the very concept itself.
A high-level spatial rhythm wave emerged, carrying with it an "unobservable" sound of Annihilation — Azure Ring's ultimate technique.
The azure light flew into the grand formation formed by the five palaces, instantly piercing through the core of the formation, obliterating the runes, severing the chains of consciousness, and shattering the soul consciousness!
Immediately afterward, before the thousands of disciples could fully react, the "I exist" thought within them extinguished on its own.
Their eyes dimmed with fear, as if the world no longer recognized their identity or the logic of their existence.
They were not killed, but rather:
It was regarded as a corpse by Heaven and Earth.
Space no longer accommodates them, time no longer records them, Epoch Origin no longer acknowledges that they "once lived."
The disciples vanished like sandstorms and avalanches, their souls no longer wailing, but evaporating in silence, turning into a deathly stillness and mist.
The pupils of the five patriarchs shrank sharply, and [Yan Fengyuan] roared angrily:
"This is... the Ring Killing Logic! It's the deepest move in the Azure Ring Concept Kill system—quickly deploy the Spirit Guardian Array to lock down any thoughts of life!"
They finally realized that the being before them, who was at the No Consciousness Realm, was no longer an enemy to speak of, but a Lord of the Fate Ring who could deny the entire clan's cause and effect from the rules!
In the air, Qin Yu slowly stepped out, his gaze sweeping over the more than ten thousand disciples who were utterly terrified within the remaining formation. His voice was low and deep, yet it struck the hearts of everyone like a death knell:
"The first step is just the beginning."
"Next—you will all be annihilated."
