Red Lotus Realm Halt · Sealing the Abyss with a Single Thought
In the depths of the Spectral Ghost Cemetery, the battle has become fierce.
Qin Yu and Wang Yuan fought against the alien beasts, while the five members of the Eternal Night Observatory Pavilion displayed their unique abilities. Soul consciousness surges, rule rifts, annihilation flames, and destiny runes intertwined and tore through the void, causing the sky to collapse and the earth's veins to shatter. At this moment, only the sounds of battle and furious roars filled the world, boiling like a raging fire.
Just then...
At the pinnacle of the heavens, a scarlet rift suddenly appeared, its radiance resembling a cleaving flame piercing the sky, and an indescribable celestial sound echoed through the void:
"Stop."
With just one word, the whole world suddenly came to a standstill.
It was an irresistible command of will, not language, not supernatural power, but a "source sound" that directly interfered with the logic that constituted the world.
--boom!!!
Time fractured, space froze, and all particles, spiritual energy, annihilation, and causal chains between heaven and earth were sealed by the red light, transforming the battlefield into an absolutely still celestial painting.
Qin Yu's [Silent Origin - Eternally Sever the Heavenly Balance], which he had not yet released, was frozen in mid-air. The Innate Martial Soul of the five people from the Eternal Night Observatory Pavilion, whose soul consciousness had overflowed, turned into solidified light. The blood flames of the dark beast's roar were frozen in the void, and not even a ripple could be generated!
The world seemed lifeless, save for a wisp of red light that slowly descended from the crack in the sky.
The woman appeared.
She stood at the center of heaven and earth, like the only being walking in eternity. Black veils billowed, red light enveloped her, and with a light tap of her fingertips, a crimson crystal seal hung in her palm, like the primordial authority that suppressed heaven and earth.
A blazing crimson soul crystal adorned her brow, dazzling beyond compare. Within the crystal, flames constantly shifted, reflecting countless rays of Annihilation. Her eyes resembled the Ultimate fiery domain that had consumed billions of galaxies, or perhaps the echoes of Annihilation from eternity past—
Indifferent, aloof, and looking down on all life.
A massive red flame array wheel surrounds its body, with runes shining within. The array patterns resemble an emperor's seal or a forbidden ring left behind by a god, with each pattern drawing upon the power to shatter time and destiny.
Her long black gauze dress trailed in the air, with crimson flames flickering within its hem. These were not ordinary flames, but rather the flames of her Fate Soul's origin, each wisp of which exuded an aura of "Annihilation of all laws."
Beneath her feet, nothingness formed a platform, and the collapse of the Heavenly Dao became a staircase. She did not stand on solid ground, yet she made the entire Netherworld submit to her like a dog.
Qin Yu was shocked. This woman's aura could not be explained by any logic of fate or cause and effect. Even the Silent Origin Soul Ring was thrown into chaos when it sensed her, and the Soul Ring emitted an "unknown" sound!
Wang Yuan struggled to his feet, whispering in shock, "She... is the Crimson Spirit from Beyond the Boundary?"
The woman slowly raised her eyes, and her voice rang out again, still that irresistible, ethereal sound:
"The fighting has ended; the opportunities here do not belong to you."
Boom!!
Before she finished speaking, all the frozen things vanished instantly. The dark creature was pointed at by her finger, its body dissipating into ashes, even the definition of "existence" was erased. All the skills released by Qin Yu and the others were reduced to zero by her thought, and the world returned to deathly silence.
She is --
Crimson Lotus Realm - Silent Heaven Divine Maiden.
At this moment, the entire arena was bathed in red light, and she alone held the reins of the boundary between reality and illusion.
The celestial music landed, and the world fell silent.
Without making any hand gestures, the woman gently raised her hand, a flash of red light appearing at her fingertips—
Boom--!!
The raging, ferocious dark creature instantly crumbled before everyone's eyes, without roaring, without struggling, without even leaving a trace of its soul, and turned into dust!
-- Annihilation.
It wasn't killing, it wasn't sealing, but rather being directly erased from the "existence record" of this world, like a false phantom that had never existed, vanishing with a light touch of her palm.
Then, she pointed her finger, and an invisible Realm Lock suddenly descended between heaven and earth, transforming into a red lotus barrier. The five people, Qin Yu, and Wang Yuan were all frozen within it, unable to move an inch.
The woman in red did not exert any further pressure, yet within the red lotus-sealed realm, everyone felt as if they were locked in a multi-layered fiery illusion, every inch of space burning their souls, and every moment feeling like they were walking through a death trap.
The woman stood in the center of the crimson flame array, her robes fluttering gently as if moving without wind. She spoke slowly:
"This is not a place for you. And you should not go through that door."
The words, though spoken softly, sounded like Annihilation sentence, striking at the very essence of the soul.
The five people from the Eternal Night Observatory Pavilion changed their expressions drastically, their eyes filled with horror and fear.
The leader quickly cupped his hands in apology, his voice trembling with fear. "Senior, we... we were merely passing through this place and had no intention of prying into the secrets of that sect..."
The other four echoed, "Yes, senior, we were just passing by and had no other intentions. The things inside the sect are none of our business!"
Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes remained cold and indifferent. She remained silent, only slightly tilting her head, her red eyes coldly reflecting Qin Yu and Wang Yuan.
In the silence, her voice reappeared, its cool and ethereal quality subtly influencing the logic of heaven and earth:
"So you two... were you just passing by?"
At this moment, deep within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, Azure Ring suddenly spoke, her voice solemn and heavy, unusually dignified:
"Little Qinzi —This woman's cultivation has Supreme the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm. She is not of this realm, but the ruler of the 'Red Lotus Silent Realm' — the Silent Heaven Divine Maiden. Any inappropriate response may lead to the destruction of your Fate Soul. Remember to be cautious in your words and actions."
Qin Yu's expression tightened slightly, though his face remained fearless. In reality, his mind raced, and he calmly replied:
"Reporting to you, senior, we two did not intentionally trespass into this place. We merely sensed some disturbance here and came to investigate. You have already witnessed what happened afterward."
Having said that, Qin Yu's expression was respectful yet not arrogant, but a sharp glint remained in his eyes. The Azure Ring between his brows flickered with a faint light, and he had begun to analyze the logical flaws in the Crimson Lotus Sealing Barrier...
At this moment, the sky was ablaze with fire, the crimson flames still lingering. The woman in red slowly approached Qin Yu and his companion, for an even more profound confrontation was about to begin.
The sky and earth were crimson, and blood-red sparks flowed like flames across the heavens, forming a river that stretched across the nine heavens.
The woman in red moved her fingers slightly, her slender, jade-like fingertips hooking the void. Instantly, billions of red light particles shot out from her palm, transforming into tens of millions of red lotus Mieyin, which, with overwhelming force, precisely locked onto everyone present.
"Red Lotus Molecule - Implantation."
Her voice was calm, like the first wisp of morning mist, yet the world suddenly changed, and the rules of the universe trembled.
Boom--!
The void shattered, and red light flashed. In an instant, everyone's forehead was pierced by the red lotus light, and red molecules, as if alive, penetrated into the depths of their consciousness and were instantly implanted into their soul core!
"Ah--!"
Wang Yuan cried out in pain first, his eyes turning red, his soul burning as if it were being burned. He knelt on the ground, his face as pale as paper, his whole body trembling. The Red Lotus Molecule kept spinning in his sea of consciousness, releasing a strong aura of annihilation, as if a single thought could cause his soul to be scattered!
The other five disciples of the Eternal Night Observatory Pavilion also underwent a dramatic change in expression, their souls trembling. They desperately circulated their cultivation techniques, but to no avail. Their souls felt as if they were being sliced by sharp blades, and a faint voice of annihilation and judgment echoed within their sea of consciousness, like the whispers of countless gods in their ears—
Those who oppose me will be silenced.
The woman in red looked down at the crowd with a cold expression, as if a god were judging ants.
"I don't care where you come from or where you're going."
"Now, I have implanted the logic of Annihilation of the Red Lotus Molecule into the consciousness of each and every one of you—with a single thought from me, Annihilation instantly."
Her tone was calm, as if stating a fact, but everyone present was devastated. Despair overwhelmed them like a tidal wave, and even their breathing seemed to freeze.
They wanted to resist, but they were completely unable to move.
However, only one person remained calm and composed, his expression as serene as ever.
Qin Yu's eyes were deep and unfathomable, his brows expressionless. Just as the Red Lotus Molecule pierced his brow—
[The Silent Origin Heart-Annihilating Key] is quietly activated.
The Silent Origin Annihilation Law renders its own judgment.
"Annihilation thoughts, annihilate logic."
In the blink of an eye, just as the Red Lotus Molecule were about to be implanted into Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, they suddenly froze as if trapped in an abyss!
The next moment, a silent sound echoed in the void—
"Buzz!"
An invisible starlight key emerged from between Qin Yu's brows, vibrating silently and transforming into a torrent of starlight that directly enveloped, locked, and peeled away the Red Lotus Molecule!
[Heart-Annihilation Origin Tracing] Autonomous Release --
The Red Lotus Molecule, like dust flowing backward, were forcibly pulled back to their origin, turning into countless stardust and completely annihilated outside Qin Yu's sea of consciousness—even the concept of "once existed" was erased, leaving no trace whatsoever!
Qin Yu's gaze was calm, his head slightly lowered, but he already understood:
"A single thought, and it's all gone."
At this moment, the woman in red coldly swept her gaze over everyone, pausing slightly when it landed on Qin Yu, as if she had noticed something, but ultimately did not investigate further.
She said coldly, "Those who know what's good for them will obey my orders and may have their lives spared for now. Those who dare to disobey—will end up like that dark creature from before."
The room fell silent; everyone was terrified. Only Qin Yu nodded slightly, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, his expression humble yet concealing his brilliance.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the logic of the Red Lotus Molecule had long been completely annihilated by the Heart-Annihilation Key within his sea of consciousness, leaving no trace, no sound, Wuhen.
He was the only one who escaped the control of life and death.
But he didn't speak; he remained silent.
We're just waiting for the right opportunity.
The sky was crimson, and beneath the floating red lotus, the world was deathly silent.
The woman in red had a chilling gaze. She slowly raised her hand, her finger lightly tapping the air, pointing at one of the five people.
Her voice was cold and unyielding.
"You—step forward, and use your divine sense to open that sealed gate."
The moment those words were spoken, the world seemed to turn cold. The man pointed at instantly turned deathly pale, his body stiffening like stone. He gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and replied in a trembling voice, "Yes... Senior..."
He walked out step by step, his figure appearing incredibly small under the crimson lotus light, like a tiny insect struggling in the face of World Extinguisher.
The other four stood still, none daring to speak, their eyes filled with both fear and relief—relief that they hadn't been called out.
The closer the person got to the sealed stone gate, the heavier the entire world became.
The sealed stone gate stands atop the Black Abyss, towering a hundred feet high. The gate is entirely black, covered with ancient cracks, within which flicker chilling dark red chains of cause and effect, writhing like living things.
"Buzz--"
The instant that person's divine sense reached out and slowly touched the sealed stone gate—
Boom!!
The stone gate suddenly trembled, and a deep, foul-smelling fog of corrosive logic erupted from the crack like a volcanic eruption!
The corrosive mist was no ordinary dust or smoke, but rather a logical mist of the rule level. Each wisp was like a fragment of countless torn causes and effects, swirling between heaven and earth, carrying a terrifying power that could Soul Transformation and destiny.
"Ah--!!!"
The disciple screamed in agony, his consciousness instantly collapsed, his eyes turned blood red, his skin cracked open, and countless black and red mists spewed out from his body, swirling around him, exactly the same state as the dark creature that had been slaughtered earlier!
He's gone mad!
He lost his mind, letting out beast-like roars, his body contorted in madness, constantly howling, but he could no longer understand human speech.
A cold smile flashed in the red-clad woman's eyes, her tone icy:
"As expected—it's 'Reverse Abyss Corrupting Breath'."
As she finished speaking, she lightly raised her jade-like hand and pointed out with one finger.
"The Annihilation Lotus Consciousness Severance."
In an instant, the heavens and earth surged with crimson light, and a blooming red lotus phantom condensed at her fingertips, from which a crimson annihilation stream of light burst forth!
The streak of light, like a divine punishment piercing the heavens and earth, struck down in an instant, hitting the madman precisely!
Boom--!!
The earth and sky shook!
The man, along with the sealed stone gate behind him, was instantly and completely engulfed by the annihilation light. Amidst the raging flames, a scream pierced the sky!
The next moment--
The sealed stone gate collapsed.
The pitch-black stone gate shattered into countless fragments in the red light, scattering into the void, and finally, a glimpse of the scene behind the gate was revealed—
In the depths of darkness, a staircase leading to an unknown dimension is hidden amidst endless mist and chaos, seemingly connecting to the source of another world.
The woman in red slowly lowered her hand and spoke indifferently:
"The weak are of no use."
Everyone present was shaken, fear surging like a tide, yet no one dared to speak. Only Qin Yu, with a deep gaze, silently watched the woman.
But he had already planned it all out in his mind—
All of this was merely her scheme, and he would be the architect of the final game.
