One Finger to Silent Annihilation · Victory in the Final Battle

Above the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror, silence reigned like death.

As a mysterious and supremely powerful voice descended from the void—

"Next battle: Qin Yu of the Observer Clan versus Li Jin of the Star Descendant Clan. Please step onto the stage."

Countless gazes immediately focused on the battle stage.

Qin Yu stepped forward slowly, his expression calm and composed. His black hair swayed slightly, and the aura of Annihilation Origin emanated from behind his shoulder, as if the entire world below the Floating Universe Platform had frozen for a moment because of him.

He stepped out with each footprint, Leaving Stillness, and entered the central battle arena.

At almost the same time, Li Jin appeared. He was still dressed in a dark obsidian robe, his eyes were as deep as black crystals, and his steps were light but carried a kind of elusiveness with twisted logic. His appearance brought a small cheer from the Star Descendant Clan, as if they had a premonition of something unusual.

In the center of the battle arena, Li Jin's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Qin Yu opposite him.

A moment later, he suddenly chuckled, his words laced with malice:

"What meaning do you think this duel still has?"

I know I'm no match for you.

"Therefore, I cannot give you any 'chance' to redeem Yao Zhiyan and Dan Guikui from their past misdeeds."

Li Jin's voice carried a utter mockery and resolute tone, while Qin Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.

But Li Jin turned around, facing the will of the [Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror] master, and shouted clearly and without hesitation:

"I, Li Jin, concede defeat."

At this moment, the entire venue fell into dead silence.

From the battle platform to the viewing seats of the two races, to the countless Observer Race floating in the void thousands of miles away, and even the millions of dimensional spectators from distant star systems participating in this grand event, everyone fell silent.

"... Give up? You give up as soon as you step onto the field?"

"... He's avoiding the fight?"

"... Are the Star Descendant Clan afraid?!"

In an instant, countless Spiritual Sense vibrated and surged like a surging tide.

A mocking laugh echoed from the void, coming from the direction of the Observer Clan:

"Is this the backbone of the Star Descendant Clan? Hahaha-- A No Consciousness Realm · Supreme cultivator... doesn't even dare to fight?"

"So this is the 'iron-blooded' nature of the Star Descendant Clan? Ha!"

Meanwhile, the disciples in the Observer Clan area gritted their teeth, their faces filled with anger and resentment.

"What is this?! They don't even dare to fight their senior brother?!"

"Damn Li Jin! Is this his dignity?"

Countless Source of Epochless observers, True Immortal Emperor, and Martial God Supremes roared in fury:

"Useless! Your actions will only bring eternal shame upon your Star Descendant Clan!"

Within the Star Descendant Clan territory, the numerous spectators remained silent, but each one wore an extremely gloomy expression. Even the two Silent Mystery Realm elders on the high platform turned cold in unison; Li Jin's "admission of defeat" was undoubtedly a great desecration of the dignity of the entire Star Descendant Clan.

They didn't scold him, but the chilling disappointment in their eyes had already made Li Jin's heart tremble.

Qin Yu remained standing in the same spot, without moving an inch.

His gaze was calm as he looked at Li Jin, who had turned away. He spoke softly, his voice calm yet like a thunderclap:

You don't deserve it.

Boom--!

As Qin Yu uttered those two words, the Annihilation Origin Ripple silently spread out across the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror, and the temperature of the entire viewing platform seemed to drop several degrees.

He didn't make a move, and didn't even reveal his martial spirit.

But he had already won.

[Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror - Results Displayed: Observer Clan - Qin Yu Wins]

The dust has settled.

But the echoes and shame left by this battle will resonate for a long time among all the races of the Source of Epochless.

Just as Li Jin turned and stepped off the battle platform, the divine voice from the highest dimension resounded once more from the [Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror], shaking the entire arena and seemingly penetrating directly into the core of the soul of every spectator:

"The second round of battles has concluded."

"Next, we will proceed with the final showdown between the core disciples of the outer clans surrounding Source of Epochless."

The participants are:

"Observer Race - Qin Yu - Annihilation Source Realm - Beginner Level"

"Star Descendant Clan - Ye Yuanyao - Annihilation Source Realm - Supreme"

As soon as the words fell, the entire [Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror] trembled violently. The edge of the battle platform revealed the boundary of the source seal, where billions of logical patterns converged, like chains of divine souls hanging from the void, reconstructing the entire battlefield into the final battle state once again.

On the viewing stands of both races, countless eyes were focused on the two strongest figures who had never fought before.

From the direction of the Star Descendant Clan, Ye Yuanyao, clad in the Radiant Abyss Robe, had the shimmering light of the Annihilation Origin Star reflected in his eyes. He remained motionless, yet his gaze was as cold as a blade, locking onto Qin Yu's position.

As Qin Yu slowly rose from the direction of the Observer Clan, the faint Annihilation Origin around him instantly stirred the heavens and earth. It seemed as if fragments of various realms were floating beneath his feet, and the "Fate Trajectory Annihilation Wheel" behind his shoulder appeared and disappeared, causing countless spectators to gasp in fear.

Just as the atmosphere was about to explode, the voice of will above the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror resonated in everyone's hearts and souls:

"Three minutes preparation time, begin."

"Please have your two core disciples prepare for battle."

This moment.

Beneath the battleground between the Observer Clan and the Star Descendant Clan,

And the disciples, elders, True Immortal, and emperors of both sides, thousands of miles away across dimensions, all held their breath and focused their attention.

This battle will determine the ownership of glory for an era.

It is also the Ultimate clash between the strongest disciples of the two major races.

As the silent and oppressive three-minute countdown on the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror slowly ticked away, a high-dimensional field of vision, unattainable even by all races, slowly emerged in the distant void beyond the Source of Epochless. It was the only ancient dimension known as the "Supreme Realm within the Epoch," where only the supreme ancient gods who had truly stepped above the Chaos Realm and entered the realm between "Stainless" and "Thought Severance" could dwell for even a moment.

In this place, there are no boundaries Boundless Realm; time itself cannot flow; cause and effect, existence and non-existence are all sealed off; the only thing that flows is the will of the source.

In the center of that eternally frozen void, an ancient figure sitting high on a divine throne gently opened his eyes. His gaze, like the weight of nine heavens, pressed down, instantly piercing through billions of dimensions, and landed on Qin Yu in the center of the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror.

His aura, faint yet seemingly present, seemed to permeate the Source of Epochless.

"Hmm... this little guy Observer Race is quite interesting."

The sound was not loud, but it was as if the Fate Book Destiny was turning on its own, echoing throughout the void of the Origin Domain.

The one who spoke was none other than the progenitor of the [Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall], Source of Epochless · Middle Layer. His cultivation had reached the Stainless Realm, the Supreme. He was one of the oldest beings in the entire Source of Epochless, and he held the power over the "Constant Cause" and the "Ultimate Source Determining the Dao," and had been in charge of the Temple's Book of Fate for countless epochs.

As soon as he finished speaking, another goddess beside him, clad in a Chaotic Radiance Battle Robe and with her body adorned like intersecting cosmic cracks, slowly spoke, her tone both mocking and probing. "Oh? Eternal Extreme Progenitor, could it be that you've taken a liking to this talent? This boy, though extraordinary, is ultimately only at the Annihilation Origin Initial Stage. If he loses to that Star Descendant Clan's Ye Yuanyao, your plans will be in vain."

The Eternal Extreme Progenitor chuckled, his eyes conveying a sense of certainty and ease.

"If he loses, he is not qualified; but if he wins..."

He extended a finger and gently touched the void in front of him. A golden temple emblem appeared in his palm, which was none other than the core symbol of the "Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall".

"I then made an exception and accepted him as an [Inner Disciple of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall]."

As soon as the words were spoken, the ancient gods sitting cross-legged in the void all showed a hint of surprise, and then they all nodded slightly.

"Very well, Source of Epochless has finally encountered another young person truly capable of 'defying the predetermined course of fate'..."

"This generation of the Observer Race may... truly defy the heavens."

As these ancient gods from higher dimensions exchanged glances, the countdown of the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror had only five breaths left.

Above the [Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror], that divine voice, like the will of heaven descending, once again descended from the void, vast and boundless, piercing through billions of dimensions of the battle domain:

"Time's up, both sides please step into the ring."

In an instant, the myriad starlight rays receded once more, and the central domain of the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror suddenly became clear. The heavens and earth were as still as water, and a battle arena slowly emerged above the void of all phenomena—forming the realm of the final showdown.

Two figures emerged slowly, one after the other.

On the left, Qin Yu, clad in a dark abyss robe, Annihilation Origin an aura as deep and silent as an abyss. With each step, the light of annihilation surged, yet his surroundings remained eerily still. It was a restrained pressure emanating from the depths of his Fate Soul, like the final chapter of a destiny's trajectory yet to be fully written, awaiting its unfolding.

On the right, Ye Yuanyao stepped into the air, his supreme power Supreme Annihilation Origin undisguised. Radiant Abyss Rift Wings quietly opened, and a star-like Annihilation Flow Severing Array Pattern silently appeared behind him. Its fierce edge swept over, reflecting his killing intent at this moment, which was no longer concealed.

The two faced off from a distance.

The energy, even before it moved, had already disrupted the entire Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror, pulling it into another oppressive and stagnant pre-battle dimension.

Ye Yuanyao spoke slowly, his gaze as cold as Realm Splitting star, locking onto Qin Yu:

"Just now, it was you—the one who gave that Annihilation Crystal Pill to Dan Guikui to save his life, right?"

His voice was deep, each syllable sounding as if he were biting through a star ring.

"Very good, very good. You are indeed loyal and righteous. It's just a pity—you can protect him, but you can't protect yourself in the end."

"On this Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror —today, you will have no way out."

Qin Yu slowly raised his eyes, looking at his distorted gaze, his expression as calm as still water, a mocking smile suddenly appearing on his lips.

"... You, Ye Yuanyao, are such a fool."

"That Chen Yuxue only uttered a few teasing words and stirred a few wisps of her alluring soul, yet you were willing to—sever your life, chase away your soul, and erase your body for her...you were even willing to offer up the last shred of your pride."

"But do you know what tone she used when she sent that telepathic message to Li Jin just now?"

His tone suddenly shifted, his sarcasm chilling like a piercing glare:

"Tsk, she said—'She would be even happier if she could eliminate you as well.'"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yuanyao's expression changed drastically!

"You—how dare you!!"

His voice, like Rending Abyss, utterly shook the central space of the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror. Radiant Abyss's Wings suddenly unfurled, and behind him, the Star Shattered Boundary Map blazed with raging annihilation flames. His eyes gleamed with a blood-red light like falling stars.

"Qin Yu!! Today you are doomed—not only will I completely erase you, but I will also make you Observer Race —utterly Annihilation!"

Qin Yu remained motionless, not even drawing his sword, simply walking forward slowly, as if the vast, Annihilation Origin waves of annihilation energy were nothing but calm waves beneath his feet.

With the pre-battle agreement finalized, the air became completely still.

The next instant, the millions of viewers around the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror were already holding their breath.

The final battle is about to begin.

The heart of the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror, the battle domain is as silent as ever before the world was opened.

But in the next instant, Ye Yuanyao suddenly erupted!

"Radiant Abyss - Fate-Rending Cause-Severing!!!"

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

Like billions of shattered stars exploding in the River of Time, his Innate Martial Soul [Radiant Abyss Star-Rending Wings] fully unfolded behind him. Those deep annihilation wings transformed into two Realm Splitting rainbow blades that cleaved across the universe, unleashing a fierce trajectory that tore through space in the air! The Supreme Fate Soul laws of Annihilation Origin burned intensely, and the radiant starlight distorted the sky. Every ray of light carried the power of causal tearing, cleaving across the realm of all dimensions!

Countless annihilation wheels sprouted around him, and the power to shatter stars and worlds was poured into his palms like billions of laws of Annihilation. Beneath his wings, the Ultimate technique, Abyssal Cosmos Space-Shattering Slash, was already formed!

"Die!!! Qin Yu!!!" Ye Yuanyao roared, his soul completely deranged, bloodshot eyes blazing!

That strike wasn't just about annihilating a person; it was about completely erasing Qin Yu's Fate Soul trajectory, his definition of existence, and all traces of his past existence from the very essence of the world!

Boom!!! The entire Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror exploded!!

Spatial logic was torn apart inch by inch like a curtain, and the entire sky collapsed and shattered like countless mirrors. The high-ranking disciples on both sides of the Observer Clan and the Star Descendant Clan were all shaken to their souls and scalps by the divine power, and even their "cognition" was being peeled away!

Everyone saw that when the Ultimate annihilation slash was about to strike Qin Yu, he remained standing in place, neither drawing his sword nor releasing any domain.

He simply raised his right hand slowly.

-- Bring two fingers together and point forward.

"You think you can delete me with your meager power?"

The voice trailed off.

Boom!!!!!!!

Just as Ye Yuanyao's "Shattering Void Slash" was about to touch Qin Yu's body, a spell suddenly bloomed between the two fingers of Qin Yu's right hand: [Fate Trajectory Profiling: You Did Not Speak, I Had Already Sealed]!

That is the Fate-Cause Master Seal · Ten Forms, possessing the power of logical pre-locking, causal anchoring, and action blocking!

This moment-

Before Ye Yuanyao's Ultimate skill could even touch Qin Yu's destiny, it was "sealed in the future", and before the skill could fully arrive, it was "prematurely defined as a failed creation"!

The next instant—the void beneath Qin Yu's feet trembled, and an even more terrifying fluctuation of Fate Soul energy erupted from his sea of consciousness!

"The Annihilate Name, Dawn Breath."

His voice was soft and gentle, yet it was like a sermon falling into the very core of the world.

Buzz!!!

Ye Yuanyao's cleaving light, which had torn apart all realms, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Then the decomposition process began.

Disintegration. Annihilation.

The light stripped away, cause and effect disjointed, destiny severed, and all the skill mechanisms built by the Light Slash turned to ashes—his name was stripped away, and his causal logic was annihilated.

At this moment, the entire world fell into a chaotic silence of "Nameless, causelessness, and non-existence".

Immediately afterwards— Qin Yu moved his right finger again, flicking it lightly from a distance!

Swish!!!

A faint, ethereal ripple shot out from his fingertip—silent, undetectable, and struck directly at Ye Yuanyao's core!

Click.

It was as if an invisible chain of logic in the universe had "broken" at that moment.

Ye Yuanyao's pupils dilated instantly, and his entire body trembled violently in mid-air.

"How... how... is this possible..."

Before he could finish speaking, his entire body rapidly blurred, peeled away, and went out of focus in the annihilation light—

It wasn't a fall, it wasn't a serious injury, it was a complete removal from the 'world record'!

Before he even fell, he had already "never existed" in this battle.

Above the [Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror], an irresistible divine force sealed the severed section of his soul core, and then—

"Observer Clan - Qin Yu, victorious."

The sound faded, and the entire hall fell silent.

Millions of viewers, countless souls, were all stunned in that instant.

Tong Ning slowly stood up, her hands clenched, and whispered, "We won."

Yan Xu looked up at the sky and sighed softly, murmuring, "This era... it's finally our turn to take the lead."

In the Observer Clan territory billions of miles away, hundreds of millions of disciples and powerful figures suddenly rose to their feet, shouting, roaring, and weeping...

Meanwhile, deep within the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, the ancient god's ancestral soul, at the Stainless Realm of Supreme, nodded gently:

He passed.
