Bone Abyss Nether Emperor · Soul-Extinguishing Bone Prison

The power of the Realm-Overturning Primordial Cosmos, completely converged on the bone bridge, as if even time itself had been compressed into a deathly silence. In that instant, all the disciples of the Silent Shadow Asura Clan and the Ming Yuan Ghost Palace, along with their existence trajectory, breathing sounds, and soul consciousness fluctuations, were all severed and fell into the void abyss of "before the birth of all paths," completely severing any possibility of return.

What followed was emptiness, as if this bridge had never borne any life. Yet, in the aftershocks of the dissipating silence, the textures of the void slowly surged, and a faint light gradually coalesced.

All external objects belonging to the erased person, unaffected by the destruction of the Realm-Overturning Primordial Cosmos, quietly surfaced before everyone's eyes like lingering echoes pushed back from the bottom of an abyss.

Seven or eight crystal cores, sparkling like stars, floated in the air, each shimmering with the causal mark of its owner and emitting a faint yet strange spiritual aura. Beside the cores, three scrolls formed from pale golden light floated and turned, occasionally revealing array patterns and secret techniques between their pages, as if carrying the secrets of a clan's heritage. In addition, there were several other treasures of various shapes—some floating like flowing light rings, others resembling miniature palaces, radiating an extremely condensed pressure of domain.

These items showed no sign of falling; instead, they were supported by a thin layer of void ripples above the bone bridge, separated by a causal barrier, awaiting their new owner.

The five people's eyes flickered slightly in the floating treasure light. The bottomless Annihilation Abyss storm beneath the bone bridge was still roaring, but the atmosphere on the bridge at this moment became heavy and oppressive yet also carried a hint of heat because of these spoils of war.

After a few breaths of deathly silence, faint light gradually appeared on the bridge surface that had been wiped clean by the power of the World-Covering. Several storage crystal cores hovered in the air, shimmering with resentment and lingering traces of cause and effect; three precious books radiating array-like brilliance slowly turned their pages, as if whispering secret techniques to their new masters; several treasures of various shapes floated and rotated in the breeze, their domain pressure and ancient spiritual energy intertwining, causing one's heart to tremble.

These spoils seemed to be supported by an invisible force field, neither falling nor dropping, as if awaiting the summons of the next owner.

The four gazes converged almost simultaneously, their breathing becoming heavy and rapid. Wang Yuan raised his hand to reach out, but before touching it, he looked at Qin Yu: "Senior Brother Qin, these...?"

Qin Yu merely glanced at it, his expression calm and composed, and said in a steady voice, "You can take it, I don't need it."

His tone was unwavering, as if these treasures, which others might see as capable of inciting bloodshed, were nothing more than insignificant dust to him.

A complex light flashed in Hong Xiuxiang's beautiful eyes as she gently withdrew her gaze from Qin Yu and began distributing the items with Wang Yuan and another disciple of the Severed Observation Realm. The storage crystal cores, precious books, and secret treasures were taken away one by one, and the ripples in the void slowly closed, leaving only the roar of the bottomless Annihilation Abyss storm beneath the bone bridge echoing.

The spoils on the bone bridge still floated in the void, their radiance intertwined with the residual causal fluctuations, like a still storm that did not belong to this world.

Wang Yuan reached out first, and the storage crystal core, almost transparent from the annihilation power, slid into his palm. Fine, silvery-gray soul light shimmered within the core, interwoven to form an "Annihilation Origin Reverse Inscription." Once refined, it could reverse a fatal soul attack from an enemy in battle. Wang Yuan solemnly put it away, clearly regarding it as his trump card for protection in the depths of the Desolate Annihilation Secret Realm.

Immediately afterward, another disciple at the Severed Observation Realm · Supreme took a scroll of crimson gold, a treasure book for sealing meridians. The cover of the scroll was engraved with ancient chaotic patterns, and when it was gently opened, a deep, rhythmic beat like a war drum could be heard—it was a supreme technique that could seal the "logic flow meridians" within an enemy's body. Against cultivators of the same or even higher levels, once the meridians were sealed, it was almost equivalent to losing all combat power. He held the treasure book, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

The third floating treasure was a crystal-blue short blade. Its blade wasn't particularly sharp, yet it exuded a chilling aura that cut to the bone; it was called the Silent Frost Spirit-Severing Blade. With a flick of her Hong Xiuxiang fingers, the short blade flew into her palm. Instantly, the characters of the Spirit Brocade Book Realm appeared on the blade, resonating with her Innate Martial Soul. She nodded slightly, clearly already considering how to integrate it into her tactics.

The remaining two storage crystal cores were divided between another disciple of the Severed Observation Realm and Hong Xiuxiang. The former's crystal core contained a compressed "Illusory Domain Realm Construction," which could instantly create a field of mist and illusions on the battlefield to interfere with the enemy's judgment. The one that Hong Xiuxiang obtained flowed with a faint golden light and contained the ability of "Fate Principle Restoration," which could repair the missing parts of her Spirit Brocade Book Realm in a short time and restore the integrity of her Martial Soul.

Throughout the entire process, Qin Yu simply stood quietly to the side, his hands behind his back, his gaze calm and profound, as if these treasures, which could drive countless cultivators into a frenzy of fighting, were nothing more than meaningless dust to him.

Once the last suspended object was retrieved, the bone bridge returned to its original silence, except for the Annihilation Abyss below, emitting a low, soul-rending roar. The five exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and continued along the bone bridge toward the unknown end.

The bone bridge stretched out beneath my feet, its dark gray surface gleaming with a faint, cold light. With each step, it seemed as if I could hear low murmurs and sobs coming from the abyss below.

The surrounding fog grew thicker and thicker, and the previously churning Annihilation Abyss currents began to flow upwards, like countless black tentacles climbing along the edge of the bone bridge, as if to drag the bridge and those walking on it into the bottomless abyss.

Wang Yuan's gaze sharpened slightly. He raised his hand and released a circle of Annihilation Origin Light, concealing the auras of the group within the flowing light. However, the bone-chilling cold did not diminish in the slightest; instead, it grew heavier as they moved forward.

Hong Xiuxiang, who was walking ahead, suddenly slowed down and her expression became solemn. The pages of her Spirit Brocade Book Realm turned on their own in her sea of consciousness, and distorted black characters appeared on the blank pages, which were signs of the invasion of unknown logic.

"This bone bridge... is not an inanimate object; it records every step we take," Hong Xiuxiang whispered a reminder.

Another disciple at the Severed Observation Realm spoke up, "I can sense that an entity synchronized with us is secretly observing us, even mimicking our energy flow."

Qin Yu simply raised his head, his gaze piercing through the thick fog to look ahead—at the end of the bone bridge, there seemed to be the faint outline of a huge archway, with runes inscribed on it flowing slowly, breathing like a living thing.

The undercurrent beneath the bone bridge suddenly exploded, scattering countless tiny logical particles. These particles gathered in mid-air to form some blurry human figures, but instantly collapsed, turning into shattered fragments of causal light, which were then swallowed by the abyss.

A suffocating atmosphere of oppression enveloped the five of them—they knew that this bone bridge was not merely a passageway, but an extension of some unknown entity... and that entity might be waiting for them at the end.

Qin Yu's hand had already quietly landed on the hilt of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword.

Just as everyone was pressing forward with suppressed emotions, the endless, surging dark Annihilation Abyss beneath the Bone Bridge suddenly began to boil violently, as if stirred by some indescribable force.

A soul-shattering sound of bones cracking suddenly rang out, accompanied by the mournful metallic groans of countless logical molecules breaking chains. From the impenetrable fog beneath the bridge, a pair of enormous skeletal hands, large enough to obscure the entire bone bridge, abruptly emerged.

The giant hand seemed to be formed from the fusion of billions of ancient skeletons, with each finger bone engraved with annihilation runes long lost beyond the ages. Black cracks shimmered between the bones, seeping out abyssal light that flowed slowly like magma.

Its appearance caused a spatial ripple powerful enough to shatter the Logic Realm, and even the bone bridge itself trembled incessantly. The textures of the bones seemed to come alive instantly, pulsating towards the giant hand, as if offering a sacrifice to transmit all the information on the bridge.

As the giant hand slowly ascended, the surrounding deathly mist was forced open, revealing a corner of the scene below—countless skeletal beasts sealed in the abyss, shattered divine figures, and the remains of undead solidified on the causal cross-section, all silently gazing upwards, as if waiting for their master to awaken.

With each bend of the giant hand's joints, it seemed to crush the boundaries of time and space. Even Qin Yu and the others felt a sharp pain in their minds, as if invisible bone chains were trying to drag them into an abyss from the depths of their souls.

Hong Xiuxiang's eyes narrowed suddenly, and the pages of the Spirit Brocade Book Realm in her hand flew, with soul-locking characters appearing one after another. However, when they approached the aura of the giant hand, they disappeared without a trace as if forcibly erased.

Wang Yuan whispered, "This... is probably the embodiment of the Bone Bridge's true will..."

Qin Yu remained silent, his fingertips slowly gripping the hilt of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword. The sword intent spread through the silent, deathly mist, as if waiting for the giant hand to completely break through the abyss.

Beneath the bone bridge, the two terrifying skeletal hands vibrated in the air with a sound like the deep tolling of an ancient bell, before suddenly clenching!

The entire bone bridge suddenly emitted a deafening cracking sound. The bone fissures on the bridge surface seemed to come alive, spreading rapidly along both sides like thousands of white lightning snakes writhing wildly. The next instant, the giant hand abruptly rose upwards—

Boom!!!

The bone bridge was completely overturned, and thousands of bone fragments turned into dazzling white streaks of light that flew through the air. Each fragment carried a sharp fluctuation that could sever the soul's consciousness and cause and effect, as if countless death sentences were pressing down from all directions.

The impact sent Qin Yu and his group of five staggered backward. As the bone bridge shattered, the void beneath their feet tore open into a black abyss, within which surged dark currents intertwined with chaos and Annihilation — the Ultimate Annihilation Abyss from which there was no return once one fell.

Just then, countless dark bone chains surged from the abyss, each chain locked with twisted skeletal shadows—they seemed to be roaring in pain, or calling out to some being. The ends of the bone chains connected to the wrist bones of the giant hands, as if the entire abyss were its domain.

Hiss--

From the depths of the dead fog came a hoarse, mocking laugh, an ancient voice that seemed to have transcended countless eons:

"Insects... how dare you set foot in my bone domain, and even dream of leaving alive?"

As the voice faded, a massive, skeletal figure, beyond the measure of ordinary understanding, slowly rose from the bottom of the abyss. Two dark red flames of annihilation burned in its eye sockets, a shattered crown of divine bone was embedded in its skull, and a constantly beating, Black Bone heart hung in its chest cavity—each beating causing the surrounding causal chains to tremble incessantly.

Behind it, the void was peeled away layer by layer by an invisible force, revealing a gray-white sea area covered with floating islands of bones. Ancient bone tablets and broken divine weapons floated on the sea surface, and everything bowed down as if worshipping the giant skeletal shadow.

Hong Xiuxiang's expression changed, and her voice deepened. "This... is the ruler of the Bone Bridge— the Bone Abyss Nether Emperor!"

The Bone Abyss Nether Emperor slowly raised one hand, and Black Bone light surged from its joints. Its bone chains moved in unison, sealing off the space in all directions and completely trapping Qin Yu and the others in its domain of death.

The Bone Abyss Nether Emperor's raised skeletal hand suddenly clenched!

In an instant, the bone chains from all directions surged, transforming into billions of coiled white pythons that soared into the sky with a sharp edge that Soul Rend consciousness and cause and effect, like countless inverted galaxies, turning the entire space into an impenetrable bone prison.

Boom--!

A massive ripple of bone patterns spread out from the Underworld Emperor, causing the void to collapse, timelines to break, and all colors to be stripped away, leaving only a deathly hue of gray and dark red. Within the ripples, the skeletal figures on the bone chains roared in unison, their voices striking the sea of consciousness as if to tear out and burn everyone's memories, names, and existence from their very roots.

A faint blue light flashed between Qin Yu's brows, but he didn't immediately use the Azure Ring. Instead, he instantly raised his hand—

"Fate Cause Master Seal Cause-Determining Silent Judgment!"

His palm etched a dark green mark in the void, instantly locking down hundreds of the first approaching bone chains, causing them to freeze in mid-air. Then, as if severed from the causal plane by an invisible blade, they were instantly reduced to bone dust.

At the same time, Wang Yuan's body trembled, and the power of the Sole Book in his hand unfolded—

"Sole Book, the Realm Words Book Seal Script!"

Countless phantom pages swirled down from the air, directly drawing the approaching bone chains into the realm of books. The bone chains transformed into words, which were then forgotten in the Nameless chapters, completely losing their function.

However, the Bone Abyss Nether Emperor snorted coldly, and the Black Bone heart in his chest throbbed heavily. Instantly, countless broken bone chains reassembled, with even greater power, as if they were directly reconstructed from annihilation.

"You... dare to rewrite the rules in my Bone Domain?"

The Black Bone light erupted once more, this time an indiscriminate surge of bone energy—the end of each bone chain transformed into a gaping maw of a skull, hurtling towards Qin Yu and his companions with annihilating soul flames.

A disciple at the Severed Observation Realm on the left roared and unleashed a treasure he had prepared beforehand—"Logic Decomposition: Dark Matter Crystal Wheel!"

The crystal wheel flew up and instantly transformed into a black sun that devoured all rules, rushing to the forefront and directly decomposing most of the bone tide into the original void particles.

Qin Yu seized the opportunity and made his move.

"Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Sever the Soul in Nine Silences!"

With a single swing of his sword, nine Soul Silence cracks erupted from its blade, like nine annihilating galaxies piercing through the void, directly slicing the remaining bone tide into nine segments, each of which turned to ashes in the annihilation fire.

But at this moment, the soul flames of the Bone Abyss Nether Emperor surged, and the dark red flames in its eye sockets seemed to become two collapsed black holes. The surrounding bone chains all boiled, and an oppressive feeling far greater than before swept over—its true killing move had only just begun!
