Reversing Time to Break the Deadlock · Blood Escape Across a Thousand Miles

The void abyss trembled as five Dao Shadow Soldier Commander stepped out simultaneously, each step seemingly crushing the cosmic cause and effect. Billions of "Dao Flame" burned behind them, transforming into five interwoven palaces of destruction, which crashed down with a deafening roar. Heaven and earth roared, and the entire spacetime logic of the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer seemed to be forcibly crushed, the scene so grand that it made one's breath freeze.

Qin Yu's eyes were icy cold. Logic patterns burst forth beneath his feet, and an ancient seal rose from his palm, the [Fate Cause Master Seal] suddenly imprinting itself into the sky. He fully mobilized the causal chain, and in an instant, the void transformed into a vortex, with countless destiny tracks appearing, like countless chains stretching from the depths of time and space, forcefully pulling back the five layers of Dao Flame. At the same time, his brow suddenly brightened, and from the depths of his sea of consciousness, the [Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword] was drawn with a "hum," its Black Abyss sword light piercing the nine heavens. With a single slash, the annihilating torrent transformed into a vortex of black sun, directly confronting the suppression of the five layers of divine palaces.

Sword light and seal patterns intertwined, the void shattered, and the shockwave turned distant mountains and rivers into nothingness and light fragments. The five layers of Dao Flame trembled instantly, and half of the burning "Palace of Dao Flame" was directly blasted apart, with billions of streams of light exploding out from it.

However, the combined power of the commander was too terrifying. The recoil was like an ancient, world- World Extinguisher storm. Qin Yu felt a dull pain in his chest, and his figure was instantly pushed back, blood mist spilling from the corner of his lips. At this critical moment, a cold light suddenly shone in Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, and an Azure Ring appeared, transforming into a rain of ten thousand blue rays of light, instantly enveloping Qin Yu's body and forming an absolute protective barrier. Within the blue light, all causal attacks were torn apart and dissolved, as if they had never existed.

The scene never stopped. The five commanders raised their hands at the same time, and five beams of light that "burned souls and destroyed consciousness" pierced through the heavens and earth, extremely violent. At this moment, a deep laugh shook the sky. The Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss held nothing back. He pushed his palms open and released the power of the Chaos Realm - Supreme.

Boundless chaotic energy surged forth, like billions of primordial star seas collapsing. Behind him, an ancient shadow of chaos appeared, its eyes cold and ruthless. With a roar, it transformed into a Beginningless storm, twisting and shattering all five pillars of light.

In an instant, Qin Yu's [Fate Cause Master Seal], the sword light of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, the protection of the Azure Ring, and the Chaos Storm of the Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss converged on the same battlefield. The five layers of Dao Flame clashed with it, the void collapsed into a vast Black Sea, the world turned upside down, as if the end of the world had arrived.

At this moment, the entire spacetime logic of the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer trembled to the Ultimate in this clash of "Life Seal, Origin Destroyer, Azure Ring, Chaos".

Boom! The five Dao Shadow Soldier Commander simultaneously spread their arms, and the five layers of Dao Flame burning behind them suddenly intertwined, like five divine palaces linked together by chains, instantly transforming into a Five-Flame Silent Prison.

This silent prison is not a prison of flames, but rather uses "the Dao" as its flame, with each flame burning an entire dimension. The first flame burns cause and effect, the second flame burns memory, the third flame burns existence, the fourth flame burns destiny, and the fifth flame burns cognition. The five flames erupt simultaneously, and heaven and earth are burned through like a sheet of paper, with billions of rules being stripped away in an instant, creating an extremely oppressive scene.

Qin Yu's entire body trembled with azure light, his chest tightened, and the light rain from the Azure Ring blocked half of the flames on the outer layer, but he was still shaken by the aftershocks and his blood gushed out. The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword trembled wildly, and the brilliance of the Fate Cause Master Seal was almost forced to dim.

Just then, the Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss let out a cold shout, and the chaotic Sea of Qi beneath his feet exploded, revealing his Innate Martial Soul — the Chaotic Abyss Ancestral Effigy.

It was an ancient, faceless colossal shadow, hundreds of millions of feet tall, its body constructed from surging chaotic energy. Its skin resembled the primordial universe before its creation, with countless cracks on its surface flowing with chaotic light. The colossal shadow stood between heaven and earth, holding a black and gold ancient ruler. The ruler was engraved with four annihilation runes: "Chaos," "Abyss," "Ancient," and "Extinction." Each character shimmered with a power that could shatter time and space.

"The Chaotic Abyss Tribulation-Severing Ruler —Cutting through countless calamities, severing the past and present!"

With a low shout, the Ancient Venerable raised his natal Innate Martial Soul Ruler, and slashed fiercely. The light from the ruler seemed to cleave a piece of spacetime in the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer. The vast chaotic sea was forcibly split open, Five-Flame Silent Prison trembled violently, its flames instantly splitting open with a huge crack.

At the same time, the Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss unleashed the Supreme technique of the Chaos Realm: "Ancient Abyss Annihilating Tribulation Tide".

In the void, countless gray-black chaotic tides surged forth, crashing towards the five commanders like billions of World Extinguisher waves. Each drop of chaotic seawater weighed as much as trillions of stars, shattering space and time and collapsing mountains and rivers upon its fall. Annihilated stars, falling divine figures, and shattered heaven and earth constantly appeared in the tides, as if chaos itself had destroyed all existence.

Qin Yu was covered in blood, with the Azure Ring forming a protective light that held his body in place. His gaze was icy as he suddenly raised his sword. The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword and the Fate Cause Master Seal worked together, the sword light like a black sun and the seal patterns like a sea of cause and effect, striking alongside the power of the Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss's giant shadow, directly clashing with the core of the Five-Flame Silent Prison.

Boom--Boom--Boom--!

The entire battlefield resembled a collapsed cosmic fragment, with annihilating light tides and chaotic storms colliding and crashing together. The burning eruption of the five flames intertwined with the counterattacks of the two, creating an unimaginable scene of destruction.

The five Dao Shadow Soldier Commander roared simultaneously, and the Flame Divine Palace spun violently, unleashing the Silent Hell Ensemble: Burning Causes and Annihilating Existence, which rushed straight at Qin Yu and the Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss, pushing the entire scene to its Ultimate point of ignition.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Five-Flame Silent Prison, Dao Shadow Soldier Commander, has been completely transformed into a blazing inferno. Eight Dao Shadow Soldier General surround it, like eight world- World Extinguisher stars sealing off the heavens and earth, imprisoning both the Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss and Qin Yu within.

The Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss of Chaos sneered. The Ancient Abyss Ancestral Effigy Statue, wielding the Tribulation-Severing Ruler, swept across, smashing down countless chaotic tides and directly confronting the Five Flames. Little did it know that the eight Dao Shadow Soldier General were the Eight Extremes Pivot Points of the Five-Flame Silent Prison. If the external force were to excessively and forcibly shake the formation, it would trigger the "Burning Tribulation Reverse Evolution," judging all the beings trapped within the formation as "cost fuel."

In that instant, Qin Yu's mind raced, Azure Ring's voice rang out in his mind, cold as frost:

"Qin Yu, this Five-Flame Silent Prison isn't meant to kill you, but to devour the Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss! They're using you to unleash the Ancient Venerable's full Chaos Origin, so that 'Burning Tribulation Reverse Evolution' can completely lock him down! This is their true killing trap."

Qin Yu's eyes flashed coldly, a chill running through his mind—this was exactly what he wanted!

The Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss had previously tested him twice, even attempting to use the Phantom Demonic Spirit to ambush him, but now he was caught in this deadly trap. Qin Yu immediately activated the Fate Cause Master Seal, no longer confronting the Five Flames head-on, but abruptly changing direction. The chains of causal light in his palm surged like a river, directly bombarding the "causal connection points" of the eight Dao Shadow Soldier General.

Boom!

The eight extremes trembled simultaneously, and the burning of the five flames instantly reversed. The flame tide that was originally swallowing Qin Yu immediately locked onto the Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss, dragging him and the Chaos Origin of the Ancient Abyss Ancestral Effigy into the furnace!

"Young friend, you--!" The Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss changed his expression drastically, realizing that he had been judged to be a sacrificial body, and Supreme the rules of the Chaos Realm Supreme were being stripped away by the surrounding flames.

Qin Yu coldly raised his hand, and the Azure Ring suddenly released a beam of "Silent Realm Returns to the Beginning" light, precisely severing the remaining causal connection between the Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss and himself, so that the Five Flames would only lock the Ancient Venerable as "fuel", while he himself was placed outside the Silent Realm protected by the Azure Ring.

At this moment, the eight Dao Shadow Soldier General uttered a low, eerie sound in unison. The five flames burned like billions of stars perishing together, and the entire Five-Flame Silent Prison transformed into a boundless furnace, completely engulfing the Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss and his Ancient Abyss Ancestral Effigy!

The Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss roared furiously, wielding the Tribulation-Severing Ruler in a frenzy of slashing attacks, but to no avail. In the end, his entire figure was burned to ashes by the Silent Prison, leaving only a wisp of ash that vanished into nothingness with the flames.

Qin Yu watched all this, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss, you tried to scheme against me, but you never considered that the Dao Shadow Soldier wanted to use you even more. Now that you have perished in the Burning Tribulation, it can be considered that you have repaid the karma from before."

As the Burning Prison collapsed, Azure Ring light enveloped Qin Yu, and his figure quietly retreated from the flames. The five commanders and eight Dao Shadow Soldier General then reformed, seemingly whispering:

"Target... confirmed... next step, Mo Chen..."

The Five-Flame Silent Prison collapsed with a deafening roar. The aftershocks of the Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss' complete annihilation still echoed in the space. The void seemed to have been scorched through by raging flames, leaving behind a large area of cracks and collapsed blank spaces. Qin Yu stood within it, surrounded by a rain of Azure Ring light, his aura not yet fully concealed.

Just then, the world suddenly went dark!

Another oppressive aura swept in from afar. A Dao Shadow Soldier Commander, his body surrounded by golden-blue "Dao Flame" surging like a vast ocean of fire, led thirty Dao Shadow Soldier in orderly formation. His appearance was like a destructive legion crossing from the void. As his footsteps landed, the void was accompanied by a booming Dao chant, each sound like a judgment falling on people's hearts.

The commander was the same Dao Shadow Soldier Commander Qin Yu had encountered when rescuing the three women. Its gaze was cold and sharp, locking onto Qin Yu in an instant.

"Hiss--" The Dao Flame on its body suddenly ignited violently, forming a massive golden-blue eye that projected directly into the sky above the entire battlefield. Immediately afterward, a strange language—neither human nor divine, but a "fundamental sound" that transcended logic—resonated loudly, shaking every corner:

"Target confirmed— Mo Chen, who is the [Tracing Core]."

As soon as those words spread, the atmosphere on the field froze!

The figures of the five commanders and eight Dao Shadow Soldier General froze simultaneously. The next moment, all eyes turned to Qin Yu! The same golden-blue flame burned deep within their eyes, as if they had received some unspeakable command at the same time.

Boom--!

Countless flames erupted from their bodies, linking together in the void to form a vast and ancient array, completely surrounding Qin Yu at the center. The entire sky of the Source of Epochless seemed to be ignited, as if the curtain had been drawn back for Qin Yu's "final hunt."

Azure Ring's voice suddenly turned cold in her mind's eye:

"Qin Yu, this is bad! They have completely confirmed that you are the [real target]... From now on, they will stop at nothing to stop them."

Qin Yu's gaze was sharp as a blade. The ethereal light of the Azure Ring on his body and the sword aura of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword appeared simultaneously. He slowly tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, already understanding in his heart: --In this battle, there is no way out!

The heavens and earth roared as the six Dao Shadow Soldier Commander simultaneously opened their arms in the void, and billions of golden and azure Dao Flame Flames instantly converged, transforming into a "Annihilation Return-to-Source Sealing Array" that covered the entire world. The thirty-eight Dao Shadow Soldier stood together, like the array base formed by runes, flowing like a galaxy, completely enveloping Qin Yu at the center. In that instant, the void collapsed, all realms dimmed, and even breathing felt like being compressed into a suffocating blade.

"Lock off existence, cut off all escape routes." A deep, silent will emerged from the formation.

Qin Yu's eyes suddenly brightened, his face turning cold. He knew that if he resisted at this moment, he would surely turn into Annihilation.

The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword suddenly soared into the sky!

The sword ignited with Stainless black glow and suddenly slashed out [the Sever the Main Narrative]. Wherever the blade went, the void was like a torn page of a book, the narrative continuity of the locking array collapsed with a bang, and the edges trembled and twisted instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Yu raised his palm and unleashed [Fate Trajectory Profiling], countless causal characters transforming into starlight, piercing through the void chains and illuminating the array's only vulnerable node! That fate track shone in the darkness, like the only life force in a rift in the sky.

The Azure Ring then erupted, and a deep, resonant hum echoed throughout the sea of consciousness—[Realm-Overturning Primordial Cosmos] unfolded!

The world instantly faded in color, and a corner of the formation was dragged into the "Unborn Universe," tearing open a blank, unborn world before their eyes. The soldiers at the base of the formation froze for a moment, as if forgotten by the world.

Now!

Qin Yu suddenly activated the [Azure Evolution Core] between his brows, and endless streams of Annihilation light burst forth, flowing backwards like a river. [Time Flow Reversal] was instantly activated!

The heavens and earth instantly reversed, and the colors of all things turned into threads of light that surged back. His figure was swallowed up by the entire River of Cause and Effect, forcibly pulled away from "the moment he was enveloped by the locking array" and returned to the half-breath before the locking array completely closed!

Boom boom boom!!!

With a deafening roar, his true form vanished abruptly, leaving only a shattered afterimage engulfed by the flames, as if he had truly been annihilated.

At the same time, Qin Yu's Azure Evolution Core instantly emitted billions of streams of light during the reverse process, sweeping up and collecting all the treasures of the Ancient Venerable of the Chaotic Abyss of the Annihilation in that chaotic battle! Fragments of divine artifacts, ancient rune bones, Dao Fire Beads... all turned into light dust and were imprisoned in the boundless abyss within the core.

Qin Yu himself had completely erased the trace of that moment from the chain of cause and effect. The next moment, his figure suddenly appeared in a desolate place thousands of miles away.

He knelt on the ground, his body covered in blood, his breathing erratic, and his face pale to the point of being almost transparent. The backlash from reversing the flow of time nearly shattered his consciousness, and with each breath, his chest heaved, it felt like being cut by a knife.

But he survived.

In the distance, the six commanders roared in unison, and the thirty-eight soldiers howled with all their might, but Qin Yu's existence was blank on the causal chain, and they could not detect any trace of him.

Azure Ring's voice softly echoed in his mind, tinged with coldness and solemnity. "Qin Yu... you won this gamble. But remember, if you reverse things like this again, we might both completely collapse."

Qin Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, his eyes cold and sharp. "It's alright... as long as you're alive, that's enough."
