The entire Source of Epochless · Middle Layer has now been transformed into a vast inferno.
The sky shattered, the void was flooded with blood, and tens of thousands of Dao Shadow Soldiers, accompanied by thousands of commanders, descended in an overwhelming tide.
As their footsteps fell, mountains and rivers crumbled, seas churned, and the territories of countless races turned to ashes in the black and gold flames.
With each "Origin-Returning Blade" that falls, a guardian mountain range of a temple is shattered into dust; with each "Dao Flame" that ignites, the bloodline of a great clan is utterly Annihilation.
Boom--
The boundless territory of the Imperial Radiance Divine Lineage, once surrounded by the radiance of a million-mile-long starry river, was now burning in black flames, with hundreds of millions of clansmen wailing until their voices faded and everything vanished.
The Moonlight Hall, which should have been bathed in silvery light, resembling a celestial palace, now had its dome shattered, the celestial palace falling into nothingness, and the fairy's long song turning into a scream.
The mirror sea of the Glazed Immortal Hall was shattered by hundreds of Dao Shadow Soldiers, and the seven-colored glazed glass turned into blood rain, submerging the entire palace.
The Crimson Martial Hall, a formidable fortress of iron and blood, was fortified with 100,000 armored warriors. However, with a single swing of their blades by the three commanders, the battle spirits and the Iron and Blood Great Wall were annihilated together.
The Other Bloodline Clan summoned the souls of their ancestors to suppress them, but before the soul shadows could solidify, they were engulfed by the black flames that "Fate-Cause Zeroing."
The Divine Descendant Ancient Clan, originally of stellar bloodline, capable of igniting the heavens with their blood, have had even their bloodline light completely dimmed under the endless Dao Flame.
The entire Source of Epochless · Middle Layer once a place of great prosperity for all races, with numerous temples standing tall and magnificent. Now, in just a few days, it has been a scene of blood and fire intertwined, and corpses and ashes mixed together.
A galaxy fell to earth, the land burned, and billions of lives were silently erased.
"No... it can't be! Why is this happening!"
Survivors from all races were wailing, and even powerful figures at the Only Book Realm and the Severed Observation Realm were falling in droves.
Above the void, one after another, Dao Shadow Soldier Commander stood side by side, their Dao Flame burning even more fiercely, the golden-blue flames like indifferent eyes of judgment, gazing upon the entire Source of Epochless · Middle Layer.
"Non-propositional, non-logical..."
It cannot be written, it cannot be predicted.
This is the end.
Their whispers, like the resounding toll of bells, covered all the lands.
The Source of Epochless · Middle Layer is on the verge of complete collapse.
No one knows whether any temples will survive in the next moment; no one knows how much longer this territory can hold out.
Only blood, wails, and a shattered earth bear witness to the true horror of this trans-dimensional catastrophe.
Deep within the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, the sky had been completely torn apart, and millions of Dao Shadow Soldier poured down from the cracks, their black and gold Dao Flame blotting out the sun, as if the entire world was about to be swallowed up.
The mountains, rivers, palaces, and towers of the Holy Land have long been reduced to ruins, with blood and ash covering every inch of the land. Countless disciples and elders fought valiantly, only to be crushed by wave after wave of Phantom Demonic Spirit, their cries barely audible before vanishing into the void.
And at the very center of this inferno, a magnificent figure slowly rose up.
Hao Yuanzun, the Eternal Extreme Progenitor, the Stainless Realm, the Supreme.
He was enveloped in an indescribable radiance, not light, not flame, but a "Stillness Order" that transcended existence.
As he slowly raised his palm, it seemed as if he held the entire void in his grasp, and the attacks of countless Dao Shadow Soldier froze in that instant.
Boom--!
With a low shout from Hao Yuanzun, countless "Eternal Extreme Seal Patterns" appeared between heaven and earth. Each mark was like a talisman that suppressed the universe, inscribing an "unshakable" absolute destiny.
In that instant, the Dao Flame Dao Shadow Soldier Commander were forcibly suppressed, the space beneath their feet collapsed, the chains of cause and effect were torn apart, and even the disturbance of the "Nonexistence Form" was temporarily frozen!
But this freeze lasted only a few breaths.
"Roar--!"
The hundred commanders roared in unison, a roar that transcended dimensions.
Golden-blue flames instantly ignited, burning away piece by piece the Eternal Extreme Seal Patterns of Hao Yuanzun. Countless causal chains burned out in the void, each one striking the temple grounds like a thunderbolt.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The mountains and rivers of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall collapsed completely, and hundreds of thousands of disciples were annihilated in an instant.
Hao Yuanzun's eyes were as deep as an abyss, and the "Stillness Order" surging from his body was violently vibrating. He alone supported the shattered sky, his shoulders bearing the weight of the collapse of all worlds, yet his back remained incomparably upright.
"The Hao Yuanzun!"
The surviving disciples screamed, but dared not approach the core of the destruction.
Hao Yuanzun a low voice, his tone like a sigh echoing at the end of time:
"The Palace of Eternity... must not be destroyed."
The next instant, he clasped his hands together, and a vast and boundless phantom of a holy temple appeared behind him. Hundreds of millions of Eternal Extreme Seal Inscriptions down like a galaxy, suppressing everything.
That is -- the Primal Power of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall!
The order of the entire world seemed to be rewritten, instantly suppressing all the Dao Shadow Soldier Commander!
However, Supreme Hao Yuanzun of the Stainless Realm, could not truly reverse the situation at this moment.
He forcibly reversed the heavens and suppressed the hundred commanders, but more Dao Shadow Soldier continued to pour in. The black and gold flames gradually tore through his "Stillness Order," burning in his arms, chest, and even the depths of his soul.
Blood spilled from Hao Yuanzun's lips, yet the world continued to hold together because of his existence.
The strongest being in the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer, at this moment, single-handedly held up the sky and suppressed the hundred commanders, but still could not save the situation from complete collapse.
Deep within the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, Hao Yuanzun single-handedly withstood the attacks of a hundred commanders. The sky was supported by the chains of order he had torn apart, but the black-gold sea of flames in the void continued to surge and swell, threatening to completely engulf him at any moment.
However, in that moment of stalemate—
Suddenly, all one hundred commanders raised their heads, their eyes burning with golden-blue flames converging at the same moment, as if gazes from different dimensions were overlapping.
Then, the Dao Flame around them suddenly intertwined and merged, and billions of causal chains instantly pierced through the void, condensing into an annihilation array diagram that was so vast that it could not be described!
"The Ultimate Causality Annihilation Tide!"
Boom!!!
The voices of the hundred commanders overlapped, causing the entire Source of Epochless · Middle Layer to collapse completely!
The array diagram slowly rotated in the void, resembling a giant vortex capable of swallowing all worlds. Countless golden and azure flames transformed into a torrent of cause and effect, sweeping across the land like a tidal wave!
First wave--
The annihilation tide crashed down, instantly crushing the mountains and rivers surrounding the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall. Millions of disciples and clansmen were wiped out by the causal annihilation current before they could even scream, turning into ashes.
Second wave --
Even the heavens trembled, and the annihilation tide swept in all directions. The Vast Abyss Sea Clan's territory, millions of miles away, dried up instantly, the vast seawater evaporated into nothingness, and billions of living beings turned into dust under the radiance.
The third wave --
The protective arrays of countless temples shattered with a deafening roar. The protective restrictions of the Crimson Martial Hall, the Glazed Immortal Hall, the Profound Frost Sacred Hall, Dawn Cloud First Hall tore apart like pieces of paper. Only the boundless golden-blue sea of flames remained between heaven and earth, devouring all logic, cause and effect, and existence.
Hao Yuanzun's eyes darkened, and he roared suddenly:
"Eternal Limit, Myriad Seals, Suppress!"
In an instant, endless phantom images of holy temples appeared behind him, and countless Eternal Extreme Crystal Seals transformed into billions of light runes, forcefully resisting the annihilating tide.
Even the power of the Stainless Realm Supreme was trembling violently at this moment.
His arms were split open inch by inch, blood staining the sky, and his whole body seemed to be supporting the collapsing universe with his flesh!
However, the Hundred Lords' Ultimate killing move was not the end.
As the array continued to rotate, the fourth wave of the Causality Annihilation Tide was quietly brewing—a strike powerful enough to completely engulf and reduce the entire Source of Epochless · Middle Layer to zero!
At this moment, the void ceased to be space and transformed into a vast sea of black and gold fire.
At the same time, one thought arose in the minds of all living beings:
This time, it seems there's truly no way to salvage the situation.
Deep within the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, the blood of Hao Yuanzun stained the heavens, and the "Causality Annihilation Tide" led by a hundred Venerables was about to completely descend, plunging the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer into an unprecedented desperate situation. At this very moment—
Boom!!!
Suddenly, the earth seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and the entire underground world of the Source of Epochless collapsed at the same time, as if a curtain that had been covered for hundreds of millions of years had been lifted.
From the boundless, pitch-black cracks, flowed an indescribable, Silent Profundity aura. That aura was like the end of time, like the grave of cause and effect; once touched, all tangible existence in the world would instantly cease to function.
Then--
"The Sourceless Hidden Army - Emerges."
With a low, silent fluctuation of will, thousands upon thousands of shapeless figures appeared in the void!
They were neither human nor beast, but ethereal shadows. Each of these Sourceless Hidden Soldier was about three zhang tall, their forms constantly shifting, like blurry phantoms pieced together from the abyss and cracks. They had no faces, no radiance, only a wisp of silver-black "Silent Profundity Mist" flickering on their chests, like the sole heart deep within the void.
As they moved, there was no sound or trace; only the surrounding space suddenly froze, as if time itself had been frozen. The blazing golden-blue Dao Flame of the Dao Shadow Soldier were actually "extinguished" under their aura! The flames went out, the light vanished, as if their presence was simply forbidden.
The first row of Sourceless Hidden Soldier wielded their "Origin Destroyer Whip".
There was no explosion, no dazzling light, only silence.
But with a gentle flick of that colorless void chain, the thousand Dao Shadow Soldier instantly froze, their bodies collapsed, their Origin-Returning Blade shattered, and all the causal chains were "Nullification in an instant, dissipating into specks of void particles.
The second layer—"Void Commander"—appears.
They were larger than the Sourceless Hidden Soldier, clad in flowing, dark, chaotic armor. With a wave of their hands, they unleashed chaotic storms, turning the entire battlefield upside down and drawing countless Dao Shadow Soldier into an endless vortex of cycles. Every struggle was met with being sent back to the starting point, until they were completely annihilated.
On the third level, three "Origin Annihilation General" stepped out of the crack.
They didn't move, they just raised their fingers.
"Boom."
On the entire battlefield, an entire Dao Shadow Soldier Corps —nearly ten thousand Dao Shadow Soldier, along with dozens of commanders—vanished without a trace in an instant. There were no explosions, no screams; it was as if the world had simply "lost a group of things," leaving not even the echo of death.
At this moment, all living beings in the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer simultaneously felt:
This power transcends everything they can comprehend!
Even a commander at the Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme is like dust before the Sourceless Hidden Army.
Because the Dao Shadow Soldier is the embodiment of "tangible obsession," while the Sourceless Hidden Army is the essence of Annihilation and nothingness.
They appear only to safeguard the balance.
They remain silent, showing the world only through their actions:
"All that has form will ultimately return to Stainless."
The scene was so shocking that even the surviving disciples of the various temples, who had just been on the verge of collapse, couldn't help but burst into tears.
Even if they couldn't understand where these "invisible legions" came from, they were clear on one thing:
The Sourceless Hidden Army is the last barrier of Source of Epochless.
At that moment, heaven and earth fell into a deathly silence.
As the Sourceless Hidden Army surged into the battlefield like a flood, an abyssal aura enveloped the entire Source of Epochless · Middle Layer. Amidst the shock, anger, and chaos of the Dao Shadow Soldier Commander, the void cracked open once more—
Sixteen chaotic shadows appeared simultaneously!
That was the backbone of the Sourceless Hidden Army — the Void Commander.
They have no names, only cold, lifeless "void code".
They have no emotions, only a chaotic and Annihilation will.
First digit -- Void Sequence · I
Emerging slowly from the depths of the gray fog, its body resembled a shattered vortex of spacetime, with only shimmering silver-black cracks remaining on its head.
He raised the "Chaotic Source Hammer" high, and with each swing of the hammer, the yin and yang of the entire battlefield were reversed. The Dao Flame of the Dao Shadow Soldier burned against the current as if betraying himself, turning himself into dust!
Second digit -- Void Sequence Code · II
A figure as long as a dark river slid out of the void, and the "Evolving Source Chain" in his hand was like an endlessly extending shackle. He suddenly swung it out, and dozens of Dao Shadow Soldiers were instantly entangled by the chain. Their energy was extracted into particles and turned into dissipating chaotic bubbles!
The third digit -- Void Sequence Code · Three
A spherical chaotic core emerged, its tentacles stretching out like a nebula. The "Origin Collapse Staff" gently tapped down, and the body of a Dao Shadow Soldier Commander instantly collapsed. His Origin-Returning Blade disintegrated into the void, and even the Reincarnation Illusion failed to reassemble.
Fourth digit -- Void Sequence Code · IV
The fragmented figures suddenly appeared, and a "Origin-Devouring Claw" tore through the void, creating a rift. An entire squad of a hundred Dao Shadow Soldier was instantly sucked into the rift, turning into nothingness energy, and absorbed by the Sourceless Hidden Army.
Fifth digit -- Void Sequence Code · Five

The sixth digit -- Void Sequence · Lu
The transparent shadows were like ghosts. The "Origin-Lurking Needle" flashed and disappeared in an instant. The Dao Flame on the chests of dozens of Dao Shadow Soldier suddenly went out, and their presence "disappeared" directly on the battlefield, as if they had never existed.
The seventh digit -- Void Sequence · VII

A star-like figure in the void emitted a ghostly light. The "Origin-Bursting Pearl" rolled down and exploded like a falling star, instantly draining the energy from the entire battlefield. A hundred Dao Shadow Soldier Annihilation at the same moment!

A vine-like figure emerged, the "Origin-Entangling Cord" binding silently. The captured commander was instantly reversed in yin and yang, burning himself to ashes.

A wave of chaotic energy surged forth, and the "Origin-Sweeping Wave" spread outwards. All the Dao Shadow Soldier that attacked instantly backfired on themselves, and the entire front line collapsed with a bang!
The twelfth bit -- Void Sequence Code · Twelfth
The Shadow Stalker suddenly appeared, and with a flash of the black "Dark Origin Blade," three Dao Shadow Soldier Commander were simultaneously cut in half at the waist. The severed ends collapsed silently, even severing their causal bonds.
The thirteenth -- Void Sequence Code · Thirteen
A ring-shaped void slowly emerged. As soon as the "Source-Sealing Lock" was activated, a large area of the battlefield was instantly sealed off. The energy of all the Dao Shadow Soldier was frozen, rendering them unable to move, and then the entire army was annihilated!
Fourteenth digit -- Void Sequence Code · 14
The figure, engulfed in chaotic flames, Origin-Burning Flame that swept across heaven and earth. The Dao Flame of all the Dao Shadow Soldier were forcibly ignited, backfiring on themselves and causing them to explode en masse!
The fifteenth digit -- Void Sequence Code · 15
The crystalline void body cracked open, the "Origin-Shattering Crystal" shattered, releasing countless sharp cracks. All the Dao Shadow Soldier affected by the cracks instantly turned into dust, leaving no trace of their existence.
The sixteenth digit -- Void Sequence Code, number sixteen.
Finally, a figure of "nothingness" appeared. It was almost unobservable, with only a glimmer of void. "Final Origin Annihilation" slowly descended, instantly clearing the entire battlefield, and completely erasing hundreds of remaining Dao Shadow Soldier, along with their illusory afterimages.
At this moment, the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer was plunged into a deathly silence of shock.
The remaining progenitors and countless powerful figures were utterly terrified.
The terrifying legion that they couldn't withstand even with their desperate fighting was completely crushed in just a few breaths by the sixteen Void Commander of the Sourceless Hidden Army!
This battle was devoid of bloodshed and screams; it was only swallowed up by nothingness.
Because the philosophy of the Sourceless Hidden Army is:
"All that has form will ultimately return to Stainless."
