Dark Abyss Joint Strike · Prison Core Shatters the Void

The azure star river suddenly collapsed into a single point, then transformed into a beam of azure light that pierced through the void. Its speed was so fast that even the timeline couldn't delay it, and it went straight for Qin Yu's chest.

Skill -- [Annihilation Extremity Consciousness-Destroying Spear]

The core energy of the Azure Barrier is condensed into a single killing spear, piercing through the soul and the coordinates of existence. It not only injures the physical body, but also forcibly erases a segment of "existence memory" from the target's life trajectory, causing a momentary blank in their instincts and reactions.

Qin Yu instantly sensed it, and swept his sword horizontally. The [Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Sever the Soul in Nine Silences] transformed into nine layers of Soul Destruction Light Halo, attempting to sever its causal continuity before the light spear could get close.

However, the spear of light did not fly in a straight line. Instead, it suddenly split into thirteen azure shadow spears halfway through its flight, attacking simultaneously from thirteen impossible angles, each accompanied by a shock that could annihilate one's soul.

"Senior Brother Qin!" Wang Yuan shouted, immediately deploying the Eight-Winged Protective Formation. His [Soul-Evolving Reverse Abyss Slash] swirled and cut out a whirlwind of shadows, severing the four spears of light for Qin Yu.

Hong Xiuxiang's [Brocade Words Seal the Clamor] transformed into countless spiritual runes, locking down the causal trajectories of the three shadow spears, causing them to disintegrate in mid-air.

Zhang Bing unleashed the [Silent Flame Heaven-Splitting Seal], and flames exploded in the air, incinerating the two shadow spears into ashes.

However, four shadow spears still pierced through layers of defense, stabbing into Qin Yu's defenses as if they had teleported. Qin Yu activated [Three Forms of Fate Construction: Cause and Effect Deconstruction] with a backhand, instantly dismantling the existence definition of two of the shadow spears into light fragments, reshaping them into nothingness.

The remaining two shadow spears inevitably struck Qin Yu's left shoulder and abdomen. The annihilating blue energy instantly seeped into his body, bringing excruciating pain to both his soul and body. The sword trembled, and a sudden, oppressive feeling of having his breath forcibly cut off surged in Qin Yu's chest, and blood slowly spilled from the corner of his mouth.

His figure swayed slightly in the air for a moment, and a burning pain shot through the depths of his consciousness as if pierced by countless fine needles—this was a void in his life trajectory deliberately left by the [Annihilation Extremity Consciousness-Destroying Spear], which slightly slowed his reaction speed for a short period of time.

"Senior Brother Qin!" A hint of panic flashed in Hong Xiuxiang's eyes, but Qin Yu raised his hand to indicate that it was alright, his eyes remaining as cold and indifferent as ever.

At this moment, the alien creature raised its crystal cone once more, with the Abyss Galaxy surging behind it like a tide. Clearly, it was about to unleash an even more powerful killing move, intending to take advantage of Qin Yu's minor injuries to completely annihilate him.

The otherworldly being's azure crystal cone tilted slightly, and the billions of streams of light behind it suddenly reversed, transforming into a long, dark, starless river of Annihilation. Countless fragments of shattered destiny orbits floated on the river's surface, like shattered shadows of a destroyed world drifting within it.

Its voice was no longer words, but a direct command that pierced through the soul:

"Annihilate the Soul and Plunge into the Abyss."

In an instant, hundreds of azure chains shot out from the long river, directly piercing through the life trajectory coordinates of the three Severed Observation Realm · Supreme.

Just as Zhang Bing was about to use [Severed Observation Realm - Nonexistence Form] to avoid the concept lock, he discovered that his "unobservable" status had been forcibly stripped away. The next moment, the azure chains dragged him, along with his soul and body, into the depths of the long river.

With a muffled, cracking sound, Zhang Bing's figure vanished completely from everyone's perception—not just killed, but even the record of his "existence" was erased.

"Zhang Bing!!" Another expert at the Severed Observation Realm · Supreme roared, forcibly detonating his domain to resist, but was still pierced through the heart by two chains and thrown into the river, his aura rapidly weakening.

Qin Yu instantly unleashed the [Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Sever the Realm, Leaving No Name], attempting to sever the connection between the chains and his destiny. However, the impact was too terrifying, and the collapse of the chains triggered violent annihilation ripples within his body, causing blood mist to surge from his chest.

Wang Yuan spread his eight wings and opened the [Soul Abyss Heaven-Veiling Barrier], but half of his wings were shattered by the third wave of chains, and blood slid down from the feather roots.

Hong Xiuxiang released [Realm Words Book Seal Script], forcibly rewriting the surrounding logical environment into a static world of book pages, barely managing to block the two chains for Qin Yu. However, the backlash made her face turn pale, and blood slid down the corner of her lips.

The other person at the Severed Observation Realm · Supreme worse. He was bound by five chains and did not even have time to cry out before his entire body suddenly Annihilation ashes, and even the fluctuations of his soul consciousness ceased to exist.

In the blink of an eye, the six-person team had lost one member, and the remaining five were all wounded— Qin Yu had a pierced left shoulder, and the annihilating blue light fragments from the wound on his abdomen were still slowly eroding his meridians; Wang Yuan had half a wing missing, and his soul was trembling violently; Hong Xiuxiang's chest was breathing erratically, and her eyes were slightly dim; another member of the Severed Observation Realm · Supreme had lost an arm, and the wound was an Annihilation Abyss crack that was difficult to heal.

The otherworldly being continued to slowly approach, the annihilation river around it not receding, but instead, more chains solidifying within it—as if its power had only just begun to be released.

The azure river swirled slowly beneath its feet, as if the very fate of the entire space lay beneath its feet. Its gaze swept over Qin Yu and the others, not with anger, but with the cold, assessing indifference of a higher-dimensional predator—like observing the prey's final struggle.

The deep, eerie sound waves exploded directly in their minds, carrying an irresistible sense of domination:

"You inferior fragments of propositions, how dare you slay my guardian? In the Annihilation Abyss Deep Domain, you are nothing but fleeting dust."

It raised the azure crystal cone, casually pointing it at Qin Yu and the others, its voice icy cold and devoid of any emotion:

"Fate is uncertain, and the soul can be discarded. Your existence is merely another ripple on my long river—now, it is time to return to silence."

Having said that, the long river beneath its feet suddenly surged with an invisible wave, and the azure chains stirred once more, carrying a chilling aura that could annihilate all records and cause and effect, slowly extending towards Qin Yu and his group of five...

The azure chains surged forth with a silent tearing motion, stripping away even the colors of the void, leaving only a deathly gray-blue spreading outwards. Qin Yu's eyes darkened, and the Life Structure Seal in his sea of consciousness suddenly lit up. He formed a hand seal with his right hand and uttered four words in a deep voice—

"Time Flow Reversal!"

In an instant, the colors of the world changed drastically. The deathly gray-blue before our eyes seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and fine strands of time light poured down from the crack. The advance of the chains was slowed down instantly, and the scene began to rewind eerily—the annihilating blue tide surged back, and the splashes of water in the long river returned to their starting point like a montage. The pressure of annihilation was abruptly interrupted.

Taking advantage of this brief opening, the life force ripples beneath Qin Yu's feet suddenly spread out, and the life force ripples of "Cause and Effect Deconstruction!" swept out like a ring of starlight, dissecting the terrain and the void beneath his feet into countless floating causal light fragments.

Light fragments surged and shimmered, forming a towering, illogical barrier that forcefully blocked the azure chains and the power of the long river. Space was twisted into a three-dimensional maze that was impossible to look at directly—like inverted mountains and a swirling river intertwined, silently securing the place where the group stood.

One of the Severed Observation Realm experts roared in anger, condensing the sharpness of the Severed Observation Realm's Supreme Soul Domain in both hands, and slashed at the approaching chains; Wang Yuan unfolded the Only Book Realm's Page Array Domain, introducing a portion of the Annihilation Blue Power into the fictional world of words to slow its spread; Hong Xiuxiang used "Brocade Words Seal the Clamor" to block one of the enemy's Causal Loop, causing the opponent's Annihilation Tide to be temporarily distorted.

However, even so, the otherworldly being did not retreat an inch. Instead, a smile that could almost be described as "mocking" appeared on its lips. Its long river rippled again, and the oppressive feeling seemed to tell everyone—you have only prolonged your inevitable death.

The azure chains surged once more, like a galaxy cascading from the sky, crushing the void into countless fragments before reaching them, causing the bones of the group to creak and groan.

In that instant, the only Severed Observation Realm in the group who could still maintain his composure Supreme raised his hand and took out a ring-shaped treasure that was as black as a falling star. The surface of the ring was dull, but the moment Qin Yu's life structure ripples came into contact with it, fine dark gold veins appeared, like a dark matter core that was awakening.

He gave a low shout, his voice like a heavy hammer blow—

"Logical Decomposition: Dark Matter Core Activated!"

Suddenly, the pitch-black ring unleashed a decomposition wave of abyssal color. Wherever it passed, the outer logical structure of the azure chains was peeled away layer by layer, turning into invisible dust and dissolving into space. That power carried an indescribable sense of silence—even sound, light, and temperature were swallowed up, as if a corner of the world had been cut off.

Qin Yu's gaze sharpened, and he immediately seized this fleeting opening. The ripples of his life force surged back like a tide as he unleashed his full power—

"Cause and Effect Deconstruction!"

The ripples of destiny and the decomposition waves of dark matter overlapped in the air, forming a bizarre, illogical vortex. The vortex devoured the remaining Karmic Dust in the chains, as if tracing the enemy's attack back to the "uncreated" beginning. The cyan luster was compressed into a pinhead-sized black dot at the center, and then suddenly dissipated.

The oppressive feeling of annihilation was forcibly shattered at this moment, and the breathing of the group gradually returned to normal. However, the ground beneath their feet was still trembling slightly, as if the otherworldly creature was just waiting for a new opportunity to bury them and this space together into the depths of the long river.

The otherworldly being slowly raised its massive, dark gold-carved arm. As the azure chains shattered completely, a disdainful light appeared in its eyes, as if its earlier retreat was utterly insignificant. Its voice was deep and eerie, like an echo from the bottom of Endless Abyss, carrying a tremor capable of disturbing the very soul.

"You mere question setters... do you think you can shake the essence of Annihilation Dawn Middle Stage with external objects? What you're resisting is nothing more than the afterimage of my power."

It slowly took a step forward, and the moment its foot landed, the entire dimension of the space seemed to be compressed, the colors of heaven and earth were stripped away into a cold gray-white, and even the flow of time seemed to freeze.

The next instant, it suddenly spread its arms wide, and countless wings of shattered light, woven from annihilation particles, burst forth from its back. Each wing dragged a shattered spacetime fault, as if tearing open wounds on reality leading to a "place that cannot exist".

"Nameless Annihilation Realm - The Judgment of Overturned Form"

Annihilation winds swept up, transforming space into countless sharp mirrors. Each mirror reflected the remains of Qin Yu and his group after they were completely erased. These scenes were not illusions, but rather a "predetermined end" etched into the depths of cause and effect.

The mirror-like sharpness converged simultaneously, like countless heavenly blades collapsing from all directions, directly attacking the six people's sea of consciousness and the foundation of their souls.

Qin Yu's brow furrowed, and the Azure Evolution Core within his body vibrated slightly. Instead of releasing the Azure Ring directly, he instantly raised his hand and activated "Time Flow Reversal," forcibly slowing down the speed at which the mirror was closing within the vortex-like threads of time.

With Wang Yuan by his side, he wielded the Sole Book- level Soul Brush, unfurling the "Realm Words Book Seal Script". The logical barrier formed by the pages supported the group, intersecting with Qin Yu's reversed time flow and forcefully blocking the most fatal blow.

However, the aftershocks still crashed down like a torrent. Qin Yu felt a tightness in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. He stomped on the shattered space beneath his feet and barely managed to steady himself.

Everyone present felt a sudden chill in their hearts. The air was filled not with the stench of blood, but with a colder emptiness. It was a death that had been annihilated to the conceptual level, uprooting even memories and leaving only a faintly aching blankness deep within the Soul Sea.

The remaining two disciples of the Severed Observation Realm were as pale as paper, their pupils reflecting the figure of the otherworldly being—it remained calm and composed, the void beneath its feet like a solidified Sea of Form, with each step it took causing countless chains of cause and effect to break and dissipate into annihilating dust.

"See that?" Its voice slowly seeped into everyone's ears, carrying a hint of mockery and coldness.

"Beneath the desolate wasteland, no rank can protect you. You are alive only because I have not yet decided to unleash my true power."

Qin Yu gripped the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword tightly, sensing the rapidly chaotic auras of the people around him. The Azure Evolution Core in his sea of consciousness vibrated slightly, as if sensing some kind of dimensional pressure that was about to spiral out of control.

Another disciple at the Severed Observation Realm · Supreme suddenly gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes, and took out a crystal core magic artifact from his robes. It was as black as ink, yet within which flowed a dark, surging galaxy. The surface of the artifact was engraved with countless fine runes, emanating a kind of pressure that would instinctively repel even Annihilation Dawn Realm · Middle Stage.

He said in a deep voice:

"Senior Brother Qin, I have another one— the Logic Decomposition Dark Matter Prison Core. If we cooperate again, we might be able to break through its 'Nonexistence Form' barrier!"

Qin Yu and he locked eyes, their hearts instantly aligning. He slightly raised his sword, and the Cause and Effect Deconstruction of the Three Forms of Fate Construction within his body began to converge into Netherworld light fragments, gradually resonating with the core fluctuations of the dark matter imprisonment core...
