Sword Descends upon Desolate Annihilation · All Things Lose Their Color
The mysterious man's eyes suddenly blazed with a dark and crimson light, and the void beneath his feet seemed to have its dimensional support instantly ripped away, collapsing into Endless Abyss. As he uttered a low, incantation-like ancient sound, the surrounding space transformed into a vortex-like "Annihilation Bone Black Abyss", and countless chains formed from ethereal bones instantly tore through the air. Each chain was wrapped with a gray-white causal lock, carrying a terrifying power capable of dragging both soul and body into Eternal Silence annihilation, as they fiercely lashed out at the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword.
In that instant, the world seemed to be split into two parts—one half was the reality that was still being maintained, and the other half was a blank void that had been taken away by the bone chain. Even the light was drawn away, turning into a silent dead zone.
However, just as the bone chain was about to approach, the blade of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword suddenly emitted a deep tremor, and a sword light so profound that it could not be described suddenly shot into the sky. The light was not a dazzling white, but a Limit, silent black with a trace of ancient silver luster, as if even time was pulled into stillness by this sword.
--"Sever the Void in a Single Thought"!
This sword strike was silent and without wind, yet the bone chain seemed to have its reason for existence stripped away the moment it made contact. The chain links shattered into tiny dust particles, along with the causal lock it carried, all erased. In the sky, the collapsed void was restored as if a movie had been rewound, the dead zone receded, and light returned.
A look of disbelief flashed in the mysterious man's eyes, and a low roar escaped his throat. The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword hovered in mid-air, its blade rotating slightly. Wherever the sword's edge pointed, the Sword Qi formed an invisible chasm, completely separating the man from Qin Yu and his group of five.
The mysterious man's expression darkened completely. With a flick of his finger, a pitch-black, all-consuming full moon appeared before his eyes—not the real moon, but a sphere of rules formed from the "Unborn Fate Trajectory".
He uttered an ancient forbidden incantation in a low voice, and the full moon suddenly shattered into countless fragments. Each fragment carried the impact of a concept that "existence never happened," transforming into thousands of blade shadows in the air, whistling as they rushed towards the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword.
At this moment, the geometry of space was completely rewritten. The shadow of the blade did not come from one direction, but fell simultaneously from three time planes: the future, the past, and the present, forming a devastating storm that could not be tracked visually.
However--
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword suddenly stopped in mid-air, its blade seemingly transforming into an ancient boundary seal. Then, it unleashed a twisted ripple that spread outward from the tip of the sword—that was the "Sever the Cause, Preventing Birth" technique.
This sword wave did not shatter the form of the blade shadow, but instead directly severed the possibility of its birth—whether it was the past, the future, or a blade that was already approaching reality, the moment it was touched by the sword wave, it was as if its "origin of existence" had been taken away, and it disappeared silently from all dimensions.
The countless sword shadows that had been pouring down vanished without a sound of collision, leaving only a moment of eerie silence.
For the first time, fear appeared in the mysterious man's eyes—the trepidation of knowing that his murderous intent had been preemptively eliminated.
The blade of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword trembled slightly, as if indicating:
The next strike will be the decisive blow.
The mysterious man's pupils suddenly contracted, and he abruptly spread his arms. His entire outline was instantly enveloped by countless layers of conceptual fragments, as if it were temporarily pieced together from billions of unrelated definitions of existence.
He uttered an ancient sound that shattered the soul—
"Annihilation, Formless Return to Zero"
As these four words were uttered, the entire space where the bone bridge was located was completely enveloped by an indescribable force.
The surrounding bridges, void, sea of bones, dark mist, and even the flow of time itself were instantly stripped of their reason for "maintaining existence," and began to become blurred, fragmented, and nothingness.
This is the Ultimate killing move at the mid-stage Limit of the Annihilation Dawn Realm · Middle Stage —erasing everything that has been and has not been, causing all things to simultaneously fall into a state of "zero".
At this moment, even the souls of the five people felt the pain of being disintegrated, and a sound like bones cracking echoed deep within their sea of consciousness.
However--
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword suddenly emitted a sword cry that surpassed the roar of the sea of bones beneath the bridge. The sword tip tilted slightly, and the entire sword transformed into a solitary beam of light that could sever absolute boundaries, before suddenly slashing down.
This is its third move – "Sever the Epoch Without a Trace".
A sword beam as deep as ink, yet shimmering with cold white light at its edges, sliced through the space swallowed by "Formless Return to Zero".
In that instant, the chain of time broke like a fragile ice crystal being cleaved open. The sounds of the world shattering, the distortion of dimensions, and the reversal of cause and effect exploded at the same moment, merging into a song of annihilation powerful enough to shatter the soul.
The realm of "Formless Return to Zero" shattered like a scroll being sliced open under the sword's edge. All things and forms that had been stripped of their existence lost all chance of recovery under this strike, and even the concept of "zeroing out" itself was obliterated.
The mysterious man's chest was pierced by the sword light, and all the definitions of existence attached to him instantly crumbled, turning into billions of weightless dust particles that vanished with the wind.
The shock and resentment in his eyes finally froze on his completely shattered face, and then he, along with his entire being, vanished from the world without leaving a trace.
The blade of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword trembled slightly, as if coldly confirming: the enemy had been completely wiped out.
Heaven and earth fell silent, and the lingering ripples of annihilation in the void slowly dissipated. The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword hung in mid-air, its crackling light and killing intent still swirling, like a long river of Annihilation that devoured all worlds flowing between its blades. The mysterious man it had slain had vanished without a trace, even the definition of his existence had been erased, as if he had never appeared in this Source of Epochless.
Qin Yu, Wang Yuan, Hong Xiuxiang, and the two disciples at the Severed Observation Realm · Supreme stood frozen in place, their chests heaving rapidly, their internal strength drained away like a tidal wave after the intense battle. An indescribable heaviness filled the air, as if the entire world had held its breath, with only the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword trembling quietly. That trembling sound was both an echo of its lingering power and a declaration of its victory.
Suddenly--
A distant rumble echoed from the deepest part of the void, as if a summons spanning billions of years. An invisible force gently tore open the folds of space, and a faint ray of light pierced through, which then rapidly expanded into a magnificent curtain of stars.
Within that radiant light, a celestial sword slowly emerged—
The hilt is woven from an unknown crimson gold and star crystal bone, its patterns resembling ancient marks carved by the hand of Heaven itself, shimmering with a radiance that echoes the pulse of the universe. The blade is as transparent as glass, yet in the refraction of each blade, it reflects countless otherworldly landscapes and devastated star seas, as if it had personally witnessed the destruction of the heavens and the changing of eras.
Pale purple and pale blue light flowed slowly within the blade, like two intertwined rivers of destiny, sometimes converging, sometimes separating, releasing a tranquil pressure that transcended words. A wisp of sword intent, like a light mist, hung at the tip of the blade, without a whooshing sound or a roar, yet it made everyone present tremble—it was a sense of existence more ancient than the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, even touching upon the realm of "undefinable".
It floated silently in front of everyone, without making any unnecessary movements, as if it were simply waiting—waiting for someone who could grasp it and bear the weight of its destiny.
The colors of the surrounding world dimmed at this moment, with only the immortal sword and the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword facing each other from afar, as if there was an unknown origin and dialogue between the two.
Qin Yu's gaze slowly focused on the sword. He vaguely sensed that this sword and he were destined to have an unavoidable encounter.
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword hovered in mid-air, its blade slightly tilted. Suddenly, it unleashed a ring of pitch-black Annihilation Abyss ripples, like a black hole torn open in the depths of a starry sea, swallowing the surrounding light and sound. Countless tiny spatial cracks spread around it, accompanied by a low echo that seemed to come from the Annihilation Abyss. The colors of the world began to fade, leaving only the cold contrast of black and silver.
The immortal sword hovered silently in the void before it, its blade resembling a galaxy flowing with billions of light-years of light. Ancient and undecipherable runes were engraved on its edge, as if they were the trajectory of destiny etched at the beginning of an era. Its radiance began to tremble in the Black Abyss power released by the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, like a lone boat swept up by a giant tide in the deep sea, struggling yet carrying a trace of longing.
In the next instant, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword suddenly released a solid, tangible pillar of Black Abyss light. Within that pillar flowed layers of spacetime fragments, Karma Ripple, and the Annihilation starlight—like countless dark celestial rivers, they poured down from the sword's edge, firmly enveloping the immortal sword. Every inch of Black Abyss power that touched the immortal sword would stir up rings of translucent light, like invisible giant waves spreading through the universe, impacting the barriers of spacetime.
The light emanating from the immortal sword no longer resisted, but began to pulsate in rhythm. The radiance of the sword transformed into countless stardust, weaving a bridge of light between the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword and the sword itself. On the bridge, stardust poured down like quicksand, reflecting the afterimages of ancient battlefields and unknown worlds, as if the two swords were exchanging their memories and wills.
As the power of the Black Abyss continued to pour in, a deep, resonant vibration, like the sound of war drums, came from the depths of the void—it was the sword intent of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, echoing the sword soul of the Immortal Sword in the depths, colliding to create ripples powerful enough to shatter dimensional barriers.
After several dozen breaths, the light of the immortal sword completely subsided, transforming into a restrained yet undeniable pressure, like a cold star in the abyss, sharp but not ostentatious. The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword slowly turned around, its blade slicing through the void, carrying the immortal sword towards Qin Yu.
It floated ahead, like a silent general clearing the Return Path; the immortal sword followed closely behind, its blade shimmering with fine patterns of light under the glow of the Black Abyss, like a pilgrim who had waited for this moment for billions of years.
As the two swords stopped in front of Qin Yu, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword let out a final low murmur, a sound that seemed to strike directly into the depths of his consciousness, carrying an indescribable majesty and protective intent. Then, it transformed into an extremely condensed black stream of light, rushing into Qin Yu's brow and returning to the Seat of Annihilation deep within his consciousness.
Only the immortal sword remained, hovering before Qin Yu's eyes. A stream of pale golden particles slowly rose around the sword, as if the universe was being born and dying around it, waiting for Qin Yu to reach out and welcome it into his destiny.
The moment the immortal sword slowly drifted to Qin Yu's front, the void suddenly froze.
The once silent Desolate Annihilation Secret Realm seemed to have been frozen in place by an invisible hand—all the dust, the flowing light, and even the surging spatial mist in the distance all froze in that instant. Only that sword shadow remained in motion between heaven and earth.
A low hum, like the collapse of a galaxy, emanated from within the immortal sword. The sound waves did not travel through the air, but vibrated directly into the depths of everyone's soul and marrow, carrying an ancient and untraceable majesty. Immediately afterward, a ring of pale gold and ghostly white ripples suddenly burst forth from the sword's edge. With each expansion of the ripples, it tore open streaks of light in the surrounding spatial structure, as if carving shattered dimensional mirrors in the air.
Deep in the sky, countless ribbons of light descended, each ribbon flashing with strange and ancient battlefield illusions: a shattered divine throne, a falling sun, a withered endless sea of stars... It was as if the Legend of Sword and Fairy carried a memory of a cataclysmic event long since forgotten by history.
The ground beneath their feet trembled slightly, and the patterns on the surface extended on their own to form the outline of a massive sword array. Thousands of feet of light and shadow swords were projected from the ground, pointing straight to the heavens, as if paying the most ancient tribute to this sword.
The moment Qin Yu reached out and touched it, the world suddenly darkened, and only the immortal sword itself emitted an Ultimate brilliance, completely enveloping his figure and forming a golden and white silhouette. Those around him felt that this scene was as if some kind of seal of fate had been broken. Qin Yu's contact with this sword was not about obtaining a weapon, but about awakening a power that had been sleeping outside of endless time.
