Just as Qin Yu before the steps of the Unshining Cliff, his voice boomed like thunder as he shouted:
"The sect leader of the Soul-Devouring Demon Sect, come out here!"
At that moment, the entire Unshining Cliff trembled instantly, as if the resonance of billions of souls shook the very origin of the void. The azure Nether Star above the sky suddenly changed color, and crimson-gold light traces flowed on its surface into eternally indestructible curse inscriptions. The cascading waterfall of souls stopped in mid-air, condensing into a blood-red curtain that enveloped the entire summit of the Soul-Devouring True Origin.
An Ultimate pressure of annihilation slowly descended from the top of the palace.
And then—he came.
On the black and gold throne at the very top of the palace, a figure slowly rose.
He was not made of flesh and blood like mortals, but rather woven from billions of ghostly golden soul threads, each thread containing the demise whispers of a world. He was shrouded in an ancient gray robe, and beneath his cracked armor, annihilation particles surged like the melting light of a star core.
That head—it can't even be defined as a "head" at all.
It was a transparent core crystal shell, with countless stars inside, as if the entire universe was compressed into a single soul origin. Billions of points of light emerged from the central core and flowed into his limbs and bones, making him like an unparalleled observer connected to the Fate-Cause.
His gaze—no, the halo surrounding his head—was devoid of any emotion, yet capable of making all the rules of the world tremble.
Annihilation Dawn Realm - Ultimate!
This level of cultivation has long surpassed the limits of causal observation and soul consciousness weaving; it is an absolute level capable of erasing the word "existence" from countless concepts. The true sect master of the Soul-Devouring Demon Sect—
[Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable, Master of the Dim Radiance Observatory] has appeared!
"It was you who disturbed my Three Palaces? Who silenced my subordinates? Who beheaded my God Lord?"
His voice was as deep as a collapsing galaxy, echoing throughout the nine heavens and ten domains, even disrupting the causal trajectory in Qin Yu's ears.
"Qin Yu, do you think that the power of Annihilation Origin can reverse the Fate Soul Annihilation Sequence?"
In an instant, the sky around the Unshining Cliff completely shattered, and the three soul rings rose from behind him, transforming into three golden Annihilation Wheels: one for destiny, one for severing consciousness, and one for locking the boundary!
The Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable slowly stepped down from the throne.
"Very well, then let's fight." Qin Yu said.
At the summit of the palace steps, the Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable step by step. Before his feet even touched the ground, rings of golden annihilation rippled from the void, like the last vestiges of logic left after the annihilation of countless souls, washing over every fundamental structure of the Unshining Cliff. The sky was no longer blue; instead, it was a curtain of soul rain formed from the fragments of billions of souls, its radiance as red as blood, as if billions of the dead were wailing within it.
Qin Yu's expression was solemn. He held the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword upside down at his side, and the Fate Cause Master Seal slowly appeared in his palm.
The Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable did not answer, but merely raised his hand and gestured. Three beams of light annihilation arrays spun at his fingertips. Suddenly, the entire spacetime structure outside the Unshining Cliff was locked, space folded a hundred times, and the flow of soul consciousness was forcibly gathered into a single ring!
He made his move right after that!
Skill - Annihilation Wheel - Soul-Severing Reflection
The Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable extended a finger and drew a giant wheel burning with the flames of Annihilation Dawn in the void!
The giant wheel rotated silently, each rotation folding space inward three times and reflecting time outward twice, projecting the entire battlefield into the soul consciousness projections of the future and the past!
At this moment, Qin Yu seemed to be split into a "dead soul" and an "unseen soul," while his true self was nailed to the logic of no cause!
The entire space underwent a violent transformation, as if thirty fragments of the future and thirty soul patterns of the past exploded around Qin Yu, intertwining to form a Soul-Severing Reflection Realm Grand Array, with Qin Yu at its center.
The Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable spoke indifferently, "This is the [Soul-Severing Reflection]. What you are experiencing now is the resonance of your future thirty deaths and thirty surviving soul shocks—can you withstand it?"
Qin Yu's expression remained unchanged, but a deep, cold light, as profound as the void, ignited in his eyes.
"Then let me show you the real Book of Annihilation Origin and Rebellion."
Suddenly, the Fate Cause Master Seal in his hand blazed intensely. In the next instant, Qin Yu stepped forward, his pupils transforming into Source Anchor Star Rings.
[Skill Synergy - Master Book - Cause Severing Name] + [Fate Trajectory Profiling]
"Master Book, Cause Severing Name, shatter the fundamental question of your soul's origin!"
"Fate Trajectory Profiling —You Didn't Speak, I've Already Sealed It!"
The void exploded, Fate Cause Master Seal instantly displayed three layers of writing light tracks, directly reversing the "prerequisite proposition" and "soul array recognition path" of the Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable's [Soul-Severing Reflection], and labeling them all as "pseudo-construction"!
Meanwhile, [Fate Trajectory Profiling] instantly records the thirty future death soul throws currently being invoked by the Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable, and seals them one by one!
In an instant--
The array of soul consciousness surrounding Qin Yu began to crumble layer by layer! The possibility of future death? The shock of the past? It no longer held true!
As the last "future shadow" collapsed with a deafening roar, the entire Annihilation Array Domain was torn apart like a painting!
Qin Yu roared and unleashed the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword!
[Skill - Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Sever Observation, Leaving No Mirror]
Break! Boom!!
The fictional soul mirror above the Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable was shattered by a single sword strike, severing all his observational and logical reasoning abilities!
The scene was shocking!
The "Heavenly Soul Mirror" that had formed above the entire Unshining Cliff shattered at this moment, and billions of soul lights fell down, as brilliant as a meteor shower!
The Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable was forced back three steps for the first time!
He looked down at the shattered remnant of the Soul Mirror, his gaze no longer cold, but instead showing a hint of interest.
"Very good... You are the first person in ten thousand years to break my initial technique."
Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable retreated three steps, the shattered Soul Mirror transforming into countless fragments that rearranged around him, forming a soul-shaped barrier resembling the remnants of stars, encircling him. He reached out and clenched his fist, a black-gold soul flame surging like an abyss rising from his palm, whispering:
"Since you can shatter my perception, then let's see if you can withstand my understanding."
Boom--!
The void shifted again, and he suddenly took a step forward, folding all the space of the Unshining Cliff into a vortex mirror screen!
Three layers of overlapping soul realms appeared around the Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable:
The first level is named [Reverse Memory Soul Firmament] – reflecting all the fears in the enemy's memories;
The second level is called the [Consciousness-Collapsing Silent Platform] – it erodes the enemy's soul structure and severs their Fate Soul and attachments.
The third layer, named [Recognition Annihilation Reverse Realm], projects a mirror image of the enemy's self-consciousness, causing it to launch a killing logic against itself.
This linked array of techniques— the Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable slowly uttered its name:
"Recognition Annihilation Reverse Realm - Collapse of Life Consciousness".
At this moment, the entire world was no longer an "external" attack, but rather Qin Yu himself became his own greatest enemy.
Skill Mechanism - Recognition Annihilation Reverse Realm - Effect
1. All attacks originate from "self-image";
2. The Fate Soul structure was forcibly separated;
3. If the effect cannot be dispelled within five breaths, Qin Yu will be completely erased by his own "Annihilation Structure Image".
Qin Yu was in the center of the formation, and countless illusory images of "Qin Yu" appeared all around him.
They wielded the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, held the Fate Cause Master Seal, or even evolved the Azure Ring · Silent Realm Returns to the Beginning; each of their attacks was comparable to his peak strike.
"Is this... reflecting all my possibilities as murderous intent...?"
He sneered, stomped his foot, and a powerful shockwave rippled through the air!
"Since that's the case—then I'll show you whether I can sever myself."
[Skill Synergy: Cause-Determining Silent Judgment + Starfall: Mirror of Return]
Qin Yu's left palm slammed down, Fate Cause Master Seal to tremble violently!
" Through the Cause-Determining Silent Judgment —a rewrite of combat techniques."
An invisible judgment descended from the void, instantly locking down the skill release logic of all "self-images"!
Immediately afterwards, he flipped his right palm, and the "Star Tracing · Mirror of Cause and Effect" manifested, transforming into a sea of mirrors that forcibly revealed the origin of these "illusory Qin Yu"!
Rumble rumble rumble!!
The mirror surface rippled, like the Milky Way bursting apart!
All the illusions of Qin Yu, their causes and structures were revealed by the Star Mirror. Since the causes were not established, the effects naturally dissipated!
Only one phantom remained standing.
That was cast by "Qin Yu of the Future".
He wields the Ring Master Soul Diagram, cleanses the world with absolute logic, and looks down upon everything.
That was the "Ultimate" existence in Qin Yu's potential destiny.
Qin Yu's gaze turned solemn, and he said in a low voice, "It seems that you are the version of myself I will eventually have to face."
He didn't retreat, but instead took half a step forward, raising his sword horizontally.
"Then I'll kill you first, then we'll talk about Annihilation."
One sword strike and it's down!
[Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Sever the Epoch Without a Trace]
Eras vanished, a single slash Wuhen!
The "Shadow of the Future" was deconstructed in the strike, its soul consciousness trembled to the extreme, and the entire "Recognition Annihilation Reverse Realm" soul array lost its anchor point and completely collapsed!
Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable's gaze turned serious for the first time.
"You can not only break through human formations, but you can even kill yourself... You no longer belong to this world."
Black flames gathered, and the Annihilation Mark between the brows of the Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable suddenly opened, as if the entire Soul Realm poured out from his eyes. He slowly raised his hand, and an Ultimate technique mixed with the power of Soul Annihilation, Annihilation Thought, and Annihilation Abyss slowly condensed, and the world fell silent.
He whispered coldly:
"Have you ever heard of the true, secret ultimate technique of the Soul-Annihilating Demon Sect?"
"[Soul Annihilation and Consciousness Devouring]."
In an instant, the dome of the Unshining Cliff collapsed, and the soul consciousness of all realms turned into a vortex, like the screams of ten thousand spirits converging into a burning meteor of souls, which directly bombarded the origin of Qin Yu's Soul Sea!
[Soul Annihilation and Consciousness Devouring] -- Using ten thousand souls as a sacrifice, a single consciousness is condensed and extinguished. The person whose Fate Soul are devoured cannot be reborn, cannot be reconstructed, and cannot be recalled.
At that moment, the entire Unshining Cliff fell from the sky like a black storm, and countless souls poured down from above like rain!
Qin Yu's pupils dilated violently, his sea of consciousness tore apart, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword was pushed back by the annihilation wave, and his Fate Cause Master Seal became unbalanced...
A mouthful of deep black blood spurted from his mouth!
This attack—forced him into a deadly situation!
But he didn't back down!
Instead, he took a deep breath and suddenly unleashed a sealing barrier surging with golden light from his palm!
Countless streams of Limitless Evolving True Flow were released from his body.
"Azure Ring..."
Boom!!!
In an instant, a stream of light, like a waterfall surging backwards, shot up from the ground beneath the Unshining Cliff!
That was not flame, nor spiritual power, but the true form of the [Limitless Evolving True Flow], composed of the entanglement of billions of starlight!
Profound as the night sky of the universe, surging with rainbows and thunder, stirring up the myriad realms of existence!
The soul-structured logic of all "Soul Annihilation and Consciousness Devouring" techniques was instantly shattered, torn apart, and ripped apart at this moment!
The Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable frowned deeply and roared, "No! How can you withstand this kind of flow! Your destiny shouldn't accept it at all—"
However, the next moment, a spiritual avatar suddenly rose above Qin Yu's head!
Golden light shone brightly, the silence reverberated, and the aura of annihilation emerged from behind it, as an ancient scripture slowly unfurled:
-- Page 6 of the "Silent Principle Void Annihilation Scripture," Soul Ultimate Form, automatically activated!
His body was enveloped in a myriad of lightning strikes, and his Fate Soul blazed like Xingyun reborn from the ashes!
Under the wide-eyed gaze of the Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable, Qin Yu's sea of consciousness suddenly closed, and his destiny erupted—
[Annihilation Source Realm: Supreme]!
He overcame the bottleneck!
Step directly from the advanced level to the Supreme!
Within his body, Azure Ring silently released a wisp of rainbow light, locking the overload power at its Limit equilibrium point.
Qin Yu opened his eyes; his wounds had not yet healed, but the Fate Soul surging around him was completely different.
He slowly raised his head, looking at the Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable, his voice low and cold:
"That blow of yours really hurt."
"But thank you too—for helping me break through."
"Now, it's your turn to feel the pain."
The heavens still bore the countless soul wounds torn by his unleashed magic, but Qin Yu was no longer the boy who had previously fought against Annihilation Dawn Realm · Ultimate with only the power of Annihilation Source Realm · High Stage Origin Realm cultivator.
As the last stream of Limitless Evolving True Flow within his body was guided by the Azure Ring into the core of his Origin Vein, Qin Yu's aura suddenly expanded. The laws of the various realms within his body were torn apart and reconstructed, and the circular structure of "Silent Fate Seal Reversal" suddenly appeared in his bloodline Annihilation Source Realm - Supreme Realm was instantly forged!
He stood in mid-air, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword hanging high in the void, the Fate Cause Master Seal reflecting the Nine Abyss Illusion in his sea of consciousness, and the Wheel of All Laws of the Silent Origin · Tribulationless Chapter quietly turning.
Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable gazed at Qin Yu, who had already reshaped the power of destiny, a look of solemnity and... fear appeared in his eyes for the first time.
"You've broken through... but so what if you've reached the Supreme Annihilation Origin? I am the Ultimate Annihilation Dawn, capable of shattering stars and sinking realms with a single thought. How could I fear you?"
As he roared, the void suddenly darkened, transforming into countless layers of [Soul Abyss Star Eclipse Realm], covering the entire Unshining Cliff. At the bottom of the Soul Sea, there was a vortex of cause and effect constructed by billions of vengeful souls, with soul chains transforming into mountains as thick as mountains, soaring into the sky and locking onto Qin Yu.
Qin Yu raised his eyes, his expression utterly calm.
"I only ask you—have you ever heard of...?"
"Fate Cause Master Seal, Seventh Form - [Initial Fate, Writing-Opening Seal]."
--The void unfolded like pages from behind Qin Yu, the inscriptions of destiny logic, gleaming with a dual light of annihilation silver and dark blue, seemed to reflect the primordial laws of the universe!
With a single palm strike, the entire Soul Abyss Star Eclipse Realm, bathed in the radiance of the Life Seal, churned and crumbled like an expired dream!
Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable was terrified. His right arm burst into crimson-black soul flames as he forcefully activated the technique "Soul Nirvana Return," attempting to exchange the burning of his soul source for a chance to counterattack!
But Qin Yu unleashed his second move in quick succession:
"Destiny Inheritance, Knowledge Sealing Stage —You beast are unworthy of the name of Soul Awakening."
The Fate Cause Master Seal floated down and pressed into the deepest part of the Soul Venerable's sea of consciousness. In an instant, the Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable's original divine soul Knowing Layer, which could see all living beings, was sealed by a silent Fate Track!
He roared, his voice hoarse as if from hell, struggling desperately, only to find that the chains of his Fate Soul had been reconstructed, stripped away, and reversed!
"This is impossible—how could you tamper with the structure of the Fate Soul!? You're nothing but—"
"Fate Track: Profile"
Qin Yu's third move followed, unleashing the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, the Fate Cause Master Seal, and the Silent Ring Soul Diagram as a unified whole, instantly manifesting the Ring Master True Soul - Source Law Domain!
His voice echoed through the Heavenly Abyss:
Before you spoke, I had already sealed my words.
In an instant, all of Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable's combat logic, technique trajectory, and Soul Arts channels became invalid. Before he could even think of the word "release," he was blocked by the logic of fate!
The entire world seemed to freeze, and the void seemed to stop flowing.
The momentum of [the Ring Master Counter-Judgment] was completely completed at this moment.
--Qin Yu stood on the Unshining Cliff, with the thirty-six rings of divine light interwoven behind him as the Ring Master Soul Diagram the Silent Beginning appeared!
He gave his final, low command:
"Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Sever Observation, Leaving No Mirror!"
A single sword cleaves the sky, severing all observation!
The sword light, like a cascading sea of stars, instantly shattered the Soul Abyss's World-Covering, Annihilation Nether Soul Venerable along with all the remaining traces of his soul, karma, and destiny.
Delete it completely!
The world was silent, with only Qin Yu standing alone after all things had ceased to exist.
It absolutely exists.
