Twelve Origin-Returning Blades · Judgment of Existence
The Book Sea · Sealing Formation finally shattered completely amidst a deafening roar. Countless illusory pages broke into stardust, scattering and fluttering beneath the dome of the Annihilation Ancient Divine Palace, resembling an apocalyptic illusion of Xingyun. The golden-blue Dao Shadow Soldier remained calm, standing silently with the runes on their bodies flowing endlessly, as if silently proclaiming: all struggles will eventually return to their origin.
Blood dripped from the corners of the mouths of the three elders of the Dawn Cloud First Hall, but their eyes remained fixed on the front. Their Innate Martial Soul vibrated again, and the sea of books, the scene, and the text of writing emerged one by one, using their remaining strength to support the disciples' sea of consciousness so as not to collapse. The hundred female disciples were also forcibly stabilizing their minds, gritting their teeth and holding on, their eyes filled with fear.
At that moment, Qin Yu and Hong Xiuxiang stood side by side. Qin Yu's gaze was deep and unfathomable, fixed on the twelve Dao Shadow Soldier in front of him. His and Azure Ring's intentions resonated deep within their sea of consciousness. In that instant, he understood in his heart: these beings were not ordinary Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme beings, but "Origin Returning Soldiers" that transcended cognition and could not be written down.
Hong Xiuxiang's palms were sweaty, her slender fingertips trembling slightly. She whispered, "Senior Brother Qin... this aura... even heaven and earth are rejecting our existence."
A chilling light flashed in Qin Yu's eyes as he replied in a deep voice, "They are not something you can contend with... Remember, once you engage in combat, your book realms will be completely erased."
Azure Ring's voice echoed in his mind, cold and solemn. "Qin Yu, don't hesitate. In this battle, if you retreat even half a step, they will all die."
As Azure Ring finished speaking, the heavens and earth trembled violently. The golden-blue Dao Flame of the Dao Shadow Soldier surged forth, and the twelve Origin-Returning Blade rose simultaneously, with golden waves of light sweeping across the entire arena.
In the next instant, the entire interior space of the Annihilation Ancient Divine Palace began to collapse and tremble, with scrolls, palaces, and ancient walls shattering and turning into countless disordered narrative fragments.
Boom!!!
The moment the twelve Origin-Returning Blade swept across, the entire central hub of the Annihilation Ancient Divine Palace trembled, and the spatial barriers collapsed layer by layer like shattered mirrors. The runes flowing on the Dao Shadow Soldier shone all at once, condensing into a golden-blue sea of light, like an endless wave of judgment, rushing towards Qin Yu, Hong Xiuxiang, and the people of the Dawn Cloud First Hall.
"We can't get out... the formation is completely sealed off!"
A female disciple of the Dawn Cloud First Hall cried out in despair, but her voice was instantly swallowed up by the golden-blue sea of light, as if it had never existed.
Just when they were in dire straits, a rumbling sound came from the other side—in the other temples of the Annihilation Ancient Divine Palace, disciples and experts from the Crimson Annihilation Divine Gate, the Vast Abyss Sea Clan, the Profound Frost Sacred Hall, the Eternal Night Observatory Pavilion, and other factions were also attracted by the same shock and rushed out of their respective temples to gather here.
"What happened?!"
"What is that...?"
"The aura of the Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme?! No, that's not right, this is definitely not a normal Annihilation Dawn Realm..."
Their voices rang out in shock, but before they could finish speaking, they were suppressed by the twelve Dao Shadow Soldier before them. Those outside disciples, whether they were elites of the Only Book Realm, the Severed Observation Realm, or the Annihilation Source Realm, all trembled like ants before this aura, their seas of consciousness roaring violently, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
Qin Yu's gaze sharpened, and he raised his hand to shield Hong Xiuxiang behind him. Azure Ring's cold voice emerged from the depths of his consciousness:
"Qin Yu, the twelve Dao Shadow Soldier have gathered in one place; this is the true projection of the Source Dao Supreme Return Emperor's will. You must make a decision immediately, or everyone will be reduced to nothingness in the next attack."
At this moment, the three elders and a hundred female disciples of the Dawn Cloud First Hall were also in despair, but they still stubbornly resisted with their Innate Martial Soul. Meanwhile, the disciples of other temples also unleashed their strongest powers. Swords roared like thunder, waves surged like abysses, frost froze, and night fell, with dozens of powers roaring in the hall at the same time.
However--
When all the forces rushed towards the twelve Dao Shadow Soldier, they were like stones thrown into an abyss, failing to even create ripples, and were instead silently annihilated by the golden-blue sea of light.
At this moment, the entire interior of the Annihilation Ancient Divine Palace has become a doomsday Asura.
Qin Yu's eyes turned completely cold, and the aura of Annihilation around him gradually spread. He slowly raised his hand, and the aura of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword and the Azure Ring deep in his sea of consciousness vibrated simultaneously.
Boom--!!! Boom--!!! Boom--!!!
The twelve Dao Shadow Soldier stepped forward simultaneously. With each step, the foundation of the Annihilation Ancient Divine Palace rumbled, and space was torn apart like cloth, revealing a bottomless Black Abyss below. The Origin-Returning Blade rose in unison, their blades trailing golden-blue Dao Flame. Countless symbols of "Return," "Origin," and "Dao" appeared in the air, like ancient scriptures overturned, covering the entire hall.
"Kill!!!"
The powerful figure from the Crimson Annihilation Divine Gate roared first, a colossal blood-flame statue erupting behind him as a giant axe cleaved down.
"Annihilation Sea Overwhelms the Abyss!"
The elder of the Vast Abyss Sea Clan raised his hands and stirred up the vast ocean, unleashing a tsunami that stretched across the heavens and earth. Hundreds of abyssal soul whales gathered in the waves, roaring as they rushed towards the Dao Shadow Soldier.
"Profound Frost Myriad Tribulation Domain!"
The Severed Observation Realm of the Profound Frost Sacred Hall, a master of the Jueguan Realm, glared angrily, holding the Frost Scepter. With a single strike, frost swept across thousands of miles, freezing the entire palace into a frozen, crystalline blue sea.
Night Veil Enshrouds the Cosmos!
Several disciples of the Eternal Night Observatory Pavilion chanted in unison, and a dark blood moon appeared above their heads, its crimson light falling in an attempt to obscure the golden-blue radiance of the Dao Shadow Soldier.
The three elders of the Dawn Cloud First Hall were even more enraged. They wielded three giant pens, their pages filled with inscriptions and runes, and unleashed the three Sole Book techniques of the Book Soul Illusory Realm, Emotion Realm Seals the Abyss, and Brocade Words Sever the Sequence Separation, attempting to forcibly rewrite the existence of the Dao Shadow Soldier before them. The hundred female disciples also joined forces at the same time, and in an instant, the entire hall was transformed into a vast sea of books, with the light of pens and ink obscuring the sky.
As all these forces converged, the aura of Annihilation surrounding Qin Yu suddenly erupted. He took a step forward, and the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword burst forth from his sea of consciousness. The Black Abyss Sword Light stretched for hundreds of millions of feet, carrying the sharpness of Mieyin, and slashed directly at the Dao Shadow Soldier!
"Sever the Cause, Preventing Birth!"
As Qin Yu roared, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword unleashed a world-destroying light, with billions of broken chains tracing the sky, as if to completely erase all traces of destiny!
Hong Xiuxiang followed closely behind, the "Spirit Brocade Book Realm" unfolding behind her. Countless spiritual books flipped and reflected the enemy's soul consciousness, attempting to forcibly write the logical structure of the Dao Shadow Soldier as an "illusion."
Boom!!!!
Dozens of the strongest attacks from the Severed Observation Realm, the Only Book Realm, and the Annihilation Source Realm, along with Qin Yu's Annihilation Sword Light, crashed down on the protective sea of light of the twelve Dao Shadow Soldier.
However--
The golden azure sea of runes trembled slightly, but the radiance on the Origin-Returning Blade shone even brighter. All attacks, whether they were tsunamis, frost, blood moon, sea of books, or Qin Yu's Origin Destroyer Sword Light, were instantly swallowed up like waves thrown into an endless deep sea.
At that moment, the entire Annihilation Ancient Divine Palace fell into deathly silence.
Then, the twelve Dao Shadow Soldier all raised their heads. The golden-blue Dao Flame burned fiercely, and hundreds of millions of runes poured down like a meteor shower, rushing straight at everyone!
This is their real counterattack!
Boom!!!!
The twelve Dao Shadow Soldier simultaneously raised their Origin-Returning Blade. In an instant, the entire Annihilation Ancient Divine Palace was like a shattered mirror, spacetime suddenly cracked, and the fragments transformed into countless reflected worlds, suspended in the void.
"Return to the Source: The Tide of Annihilation!"
With an invisible, deep Dao chant erupting, the twelve Dao Shadow Soldier slashed down simultaneously, twelve Origin-Returning Blade intertwining to form a golden-blue dome! The dome was not pure sword light, but rather composed of countless runes, light bands, and illusory images of reincarnation—billions of stars appearing and disappearing simultaneously within the sword light, the scenes of life's reincarnation pouring out in the form of light and shadow, as if, in a mere instant, the "life and death process" of the entire universe was reenacted countless times.
As the giant screen crashed down, the world lost its color.
The entire palace collapsed with a deafening roar, the space peeling away layer by layer, a scene as awe-inspiring as the destruction of an entire planet in Hollywood disaster epic. The stone pillars turned into dust, and the earth was rewritten as an interweaving of light and ash.
The attack's shockwaves spread outwards, unleashing twelve layers of "causal storms." Within each storm, countless causal chains could be seen being torn apart, as if a giant hand was ripping apart the scrolls of everyone's destiny!
That was a World Extinguisher storm.
The giant axe of the Crimson Annihilation Divine Gate shattered with a crash, and the elder who wielded the axe was thrown back by the recoil, coughing up blood. The blood-flame giant statue was instantly pulled away and scattered in the void.
The "Sea of Ice Calamity" released by the Profound Frost Sacred Hall shattered into crystal blue fragments in an instant. The fragments rolled back into the caster's body, and the elder was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, almost shattering completely.
The blood moon over the Eternal Night Observatory Pavilion was directly cut in two by the twelve Origin-Returning Blade, and the crimson light scattered and drifted away, like a meteor shower falling from the apocalypse. The pavilion disciples retreated frantically in fear.
The waves of the Annihilation Sea were torn apart. The elder of the Vast Abyss Sea Clan felt a jolt in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood imbued with the soul power of the Sea Abyss. The phantom of the Soul Whale collapsed on the spot.
The three elders of the Dawn Cloud First Hall were deathly pale. Their Book Seas of the Only Book Realm were torn apart in the clash, their spiritual books turned to ash, and their pages burned to ashes in the air! Only with the protection of the hundred female disciples were they barely spared from annihilation.
At the eye of the storm, Qin Yu and Hong Xiuxiang were the first to be hit.
"Annihilation cause and effect, World-Covering!"
Qin Yu roared, Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword erupted with a monstrous sword light, with countless broken chains appearing on its blade, attempting to clash head-on with this annihilation tide.
Hong Xiuxiang's eyes turned cold, and she suddenly unfolded the "Spirit Brocade Book Realm." The sea of books swirled in reverse, and beautiful runes filled the void, barely absorbing some of the impact for everyone.
Boom boom boom boom boom--!!!
The entire dome of the main hall collapsed completely, and runes poured down like a black waterfall. The sounds of explosions, shattering, and the tearing of the storm intertwined into a devastating roar!
At this moment, it was as if countless stars had exploded in the same second. The violent changes in light and shadow left all cultivators with only the intense golden-blue and endless darkness in their eyes, and no other colors remained between heaven and earth.
With a single strike, half of the defenses collapsed instantly, and everyone was swept up in this destructive storm!
The void roared.
The twelve Dao Shadow Soldier simultaneously raised their Origin-Returning Blade, the "Dao Flame" above their heads burning to their Ultimate, countless runes flowing around them, as if transforming the entire space into a "Book of Origin." Following this was their first combined attack: [Origin-Returning Blade - Fate-Cause Extraction]
The twelve blades of light, like twelve galaxies, slashed down from different directions, their target not the physical body, but the "Fate-Cause." Anyone touched by them would have their life-giving essence extracted, leaving them momentarily incomplete.
The moment the sword light fell, the world suddenly fell silent, as if the "breathing rhythm" of all life had been forcibly pulled away!
Qin Yu's Counterattack: Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Sever the Cause, Preventing Birth
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword roared forth from the sea of consciousness, its blade revealing countless severed chains, and fiercely struck before the twelve galaxy-like sword lights.
Boom!!!!
The causal chains collided with the light blades that extracted Fate-Cause, exploding into a storm of black and gold brilliance. The immense impact felt as if the souls of all cultivators were being forcibly torn from their bodies. Qin Yu forcefully suppressed it, using "Sever the Cause, Preventing Birth" to lock down this extraction!
The second combined attack by the Dao Shadow Soldier.
[The Tide of Returning to the Source: Narrative Engulfment]
The twelve Dao Shadow Soldier stepped forward simultaneously, and twelve layers of golden-blue "narrative vortexes" appeared beneath their feet. Each vortex reflected an ending where "the enemy is destined to lose." These endings formed chains, attempting to pull the futures of all cultivators into them and forcibly engulf them in the "narrative of defeat."
In an instant, the hundred disciples of the Dawn Cloud First Hall saw themselves Annihilation one by one in the illusion, filled with extreme terror!
Qin Yu's Counterattack: Fate Cause Master Seal - Final Order - Fate-Severing Question
Qin Yu raised his hand, Fate Cause Master Seal suddenly appeared, transforming into a black "Fate Book Seal Platform," which he slammed down.
Boom!!!
The narrative vortex clashed with the seal of Fate Book, tearing the "inevitable defeat script" reflected in the sky page by page! Qin Yu roared:
"Once the Fate Book is written, it shall not be judged by you, the followers of Guiyuan!"
The third wave of Dao Shadow Soldier' power: [Return to Origin Slash - Multi-Dimensional Folding]
The twelve Origin-Returning Blade rose simultaneously, their blades transforming into twelve golden prisms. Space was instantly folded into countless shattered pieces, trapping everyone within the "repeating time fragments" of the mirror images. Their attacks, breaths, and heartbeats were endlessly superimposed until they collapsed.
Countless cultivators cried out in alarm, "We can't move!"
Qin Yu's Counterattack: Silent Origin - Trace the Spirit Abyss
The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword suddenly surged upstream, and Qin Yu's will drew upon the power of the Silent Origin, causing the Black Abyss to surge in all directions like a tidal wave.
BOOM BOOM BOOM--!
The shattered mirror dissolved piece by piece, swallowed by the "Trace the Spirit Abyss" and returning to the primordial nothingness. Qin Yu's eyes sharpened:
"Your reflections are nothing but illusions; before the Silent Origin, they all vanish Wuhen!"
Dao Shadow Soldier unleashes his strongest skill
The twelve figures simultaneously bent down, their Origin-Returning Blade slicing through the earth: [Origin Judgment - Existence Erasure]
The light blades no longer target the physical body or Fate-Cause, but directly aim at the "legitimacy of existence." All living beings within this hall are deemed "illegally existing" and can be erased at any time!
A golden-blue light curtain shot into the sky, covering the entire palace, as if it wanted to wipe out everyone on the battlefield in one fell swoop.
Qin Yu counterattacks: Three Forms of Fate Construction - Existence Erasure + Azure Ring - Second Form: Realm-Severing Silent Light (Double Combination!)
Qin Yu roared, and Azure Ring suddenly appeared between his brows, echoing the Three Forms of Fate Construction of his destiny.
The Realm-Severing Silent Light released by Azure Ring transformed into boundless azure light, directly severing the "chain of legitimacy" of the entire golden-azure light curtain. Simultaneously, Qin Yu invoked "Existence Erasure," reversing the logic of the Dao Shadow Soldier's erasure—
Boom!!!!!!!!
The world has lost its color!
The golden-blue curtain and the Azure Ring light clashed head-on in the sky, unleashing an impact even more intense than a series of stellar explosions. The vision of all cultivators was instantly engulfed in white light!
When the light faded, the main hall was completely reduced to ruins. Everyone lay on the ground, severely injured and bleeding profusely. Only Qin Yu and Hong Xiuxiang managed to hold up a defensive line against the twelve Dao Shadow Soldier...
