Annihilation Dawn Clash · Shadows in the Dark Abyss
Deep in the void, Qin Yu soared through the air, the afterglow of the [Origin of the Source Rift] still lingering behind him. The Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel subtly rotated, their shadows floating behind him like a sea of stars. Just as he was about to return to the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, his brow twitched, and he sensed an extremely strong fluctuation coming from tens of thousands of miles ahead.
The fluctuations were not the aftereffects of ordinary combat, but rather the shockwaves caused by the forced tearing apart of the very origin of heaven and earth. The void resembled shattered glass, with countless cracks interwoven, and purplish-black energy seeped out like an ink tide, accompanied by faint roars.
Qin Yu stood in the void, gazing intently. He saw that the star field tens of thousands of miles ahead seemed to have been reversed. The once silent star clusters trembled violently, their light flowing backward. The entire realm was being pulled by an indescribable force. Space twisted into vortexes, and fierce winds swept through, roaring like millions of World Extinguisher thunderbolts. All order in the world seemed unstable.
At the center of that turbulence, a massive "array mark" vaguely appeared, as if ancient sealing runes had been forcibly torn apart. The array mark was like countless stars forged together, yet it kept shattering, turning into endless dust. Each grain of dust carried an aura of destruction and rebirth, flickering in the darkness, making one's heart tremble.
Qin Yu's heart sank, and he murmured softly:
"Is this... someone undergoing tribulation? Or is it that Aohuang Divine Beast? No... this aura seems to carry a narrative twist..."
At that moment, he even felt his own logic of existence tremble slightly, as if he were being pulled by that fluctuation and plunged into an unknown narrative abyss.
Qin Yu in the void, his robes fluttering, the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel spinning rapidly behind him, a faint Azure Ring appearing and emitting a dim annihilation glow, protecting his body. His eyes were like torches, fixed intently on what lay ahead. "Whoever is stirring up the middle level, now that I've stumbled upon them, I will not let it go unchecked."
Just as he was on high alert, the fluctuations ahead suddenly trembled violently.
Deep in the void, Qin Yu moved forward at lightning speed, transforming into a streak of black and gold light that swept across the star field. The tremors ahead grew increasingly violent, the space itself shaking like a drum, as if an invisible giant hand was tearing apart the boundaries of the world.
With a thought, he instantly concealed his aura, his body twisting and disappearing behind a floating island of shattered stars. The Annihilation soul energy spread like a night tide, completely shrouding him.
In the starry sky, two high-level experts of the Annihilation Dawn Realm were engaged in fierce combat.
Firstly, his entire body was enveloped in crimson flames, resembling a fire demon god, with eyes like burning blood suns. With each wave of his hand, a thousand-foot-long wave of fire swept across the void, scorching the starry sea and even burning cracks into the barriers of spacetime. Each flame carried the roar of collapsing cause and effect, seemingly intent on burning away all logic in the universe.
The other was like the embodiment of the deathly silence of night. He stood in the void, surrounded by billions of gray-white soul shadows, like the wails of the dead. His black robe billowed, and with a wave of his hand, countless "Soul Prison Chains" shot out from the darkness, tearing apart rivers of fire and trapping enemies in an endless death prison. His presence seemed to be rejected even by the stars; wherever he passed, the light extinguished itself.
Boom--!
The two forces collided, and in an instant, the void collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of miles of space turned into ashes and black holes, and all the remaining stars were annihilated, as if their existence had been erased. The hidden place where Qin Yu was located was shaken violently by the aftershocks. He had to activate the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel and suppress his aura to the Limit in order to avoid being discovered.
The Flame Demon roared, "You wretched souls, how dare you covet the source energy of the middle level!"
The powerful figure in the darkness sneered, "This world is in chaos, the seal is about to collapse, why bother adhering to old rules? If you stand in my way today, you will only die!"
The two powerful forces collided violently once again, like two worlds colliding, causing the galaxy to overturn and billions of light explosions to shatter.
Qin Yu's gaze was cold and stern as he thought to himself, "Annihilation Dawn Realm · High Stage... If I were to get involved in such a battle, even I would find it difficult to escape unscathed. But their claim that the 'seal is about to collapse' forces me to be wary."
Just as he was concentrating, a shockwave swept out, instantly turning Qin Yu's hiding place into dust, almost exposing him!
Boom--
The aftershocks of the battle between the two Annihilation Dawn Realm · High Stage exploded once again, turning the entire star field into a turbulent ocean with layers of spatial rifts, like raging waves thousands of feet high crashing in all directions. The Star Shattered Island where Qin Yu was located was completely reduced to dust, exposing the location where he had originally been hiding.
The fiery demon-like powerhouse locked onto the target instantly. His pupils shone like two blood-red suns, flames raging, and his low growl was filled with killing intent, "Hmm? A mere Logic Realm Realm aura? It actually managed to evade my divine sense detection... Who's spying on me?"
The powerful figure, shrouded in deathly darkness, curled his lips into a cold smile. The countless soul shadows surrounding him wailed in unison, like countless ghosts whispering, "Heh... the Logic Realm Realm · Extreme? How interesting. Since you can glimpse it here, it means fate brought you here—perhaps I'll leave you here, burying you beyond the narrative."
Before the words were even finished, two streams of Annihilation Dawn Force simultaneously locked onto Qin Yu. The void suddenly froze, time seemed to be pulled away, and all the light in the entire area disappeared, leaving only the dual suppression of Bloodfire and Soul Prison.
Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat, but his gaze remained cold and resolute. His Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel spun wildly in his sea of consciousness, emanating layers of annihilation aura, transforming himself into an immovable boundary marker. He knew that if he hastily fled at this moment, he would be completely exposed. Only by responding calmly could he possibly survive the chaos.
The Flame Demon God approached step by step, surrounded by a river of flames, his voice booming like the roar of billions of volcanoes, "Speak! Who sent you? Those who spy on this place deserve to die!"
Meanwhile, the powerful figure in the deadly night raised his hand, and countless soul locks emerged from the void, as if to nail Qin Yu directly to the void.
The oppressive feeling between heaven and earth had reached its peak. Qin Yu's hair danced wildly on his forehead, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword within his body trembled slightly, and the Azure Ring emitted an invisible, silent light deep within his brow.
In that life-or-death moment, the pupils of the Flame Demon God and the Deathly Silence Warrior contracted simultaneously—they noticed almost at the same time that, not far away, a certain restrictive aura Source of Epochless · Deep Layer was quietly fluctuating, a terrifying power capable of engulfing Annihilation Dawn Realm.
The two suddenly locked eyes, each letting out a cold snort, and simultaneously withdrew their attacks, as if tacitly avoiding greater danger.
The Flame Demon roared, "You're lucky to be alive today, brat! The next time we meet will be the day you die!"
The powerful being in deathly silence gave a cold laugh, his figure gradually merging into the endless shadows. "A mere insect in the Logic Realm Realm doesn't need to die by my hand. Perhaps only when you break through will you be qualified to know the truth."
As soon as the words fell, the two Annihilation Dawn Realm experts retreated like a tide, instantly disappearing into the depths of the endless void.
Standing amidst the lingering effects of the storm, Qin Yu's heart pounded, his back already soaked with cold sweat. He exhaled silently, his gaze turning icy. "Annihilation Dawn Realm · High Stage... In this kind of battle, my intervention would be utterly futile. But what exactly is this 'the seal is about to collapse' they speak of?"
At this moment, the starry sea was still collapsing, and he alone stood between the shattered light and darkness, his doubts growing ever stronger.
Before the aftershocks of the void had completely subsided, Qin Yu's figure had already vanished silently into the dark currents of the shattered star sea, like a Wuhen beam of light.
He didn't turn back, nor did he rush to leave. Instead, he pushed his Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel to their Limit, causing his entire aura to completely vanish, like a lingering shadow dissolving into the void. The Azure Ring between his brows trembled slightly, emitting a chilling, lonely glow, helping him conceal his logical fluctuations.
In the distance, the Flame Demon God and the Deathly Silence Warrior transformed into two streaks of Annihilation Dawn power, rapidly traversing layers of star fields. Their speed was extremely fast, causing the space along their path to continuously collapse, as if dragging two long rivers of destruction. But Qin Yu followed closely behind, maintaining a distance of tens of thousands of miles, neither too close nor too far, always staying in the blind spot of perception.
Gradually, something unusual appeared in the starry sea ahead.
Countless stars were forcibly emptied from a void, leaving behind a massive void vortex. At the center of the vortex, a crack was pulsating, like the heart of heaven and earth. Each contraction sent out billions of causal ripples, as if to tear apart the laws of the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer.
Qin Yu's eyes narrowed. "That's... a remnant of a seal?"
The Flame Demon God stepped in first, his flames shooting straight into the sky, illuminating the dark void. His eyes were filled with greed as he roared in a low voice, "This loosened seal has indeed given birth to the aura of the Marrow of the Boundless Realm! If I can seize it, I will surely be able to step into the Void Emanation Realm!"
The Deathly Silence expert followed closely behind, his laughter like a chorus of millions of dead souls. "Don't dream! This Source Power is something I've coveted for a long time. If you dare to try and take it all for yourself, don't blame me for casting you into eternal damnation!"
The two Annihilation Dawn auras collided once again with a deafening roar, fire and death intertwined, unleashing a calamity powerful enough to shatter a star field.
Qin Yu, hidden in the distant Rift of Shadows, grew increasingly cold. He finally understood that these two Annihilation Dawn Realm · High Stage had not met by chance, but were fighting for the Boundless Origin of the Source Rift Boundless Realm Source Marrow!
"Boundless Realm Source Marrow... it's the treasure I need to break through to the Supreme. And there's still some here." Qin Yu murmured to himself, but felt no joy, only Ultimate sense of danger.
Because deep within that vortex, he clearly sensed a third terrifying aura—a presence more profound than flames and deathly silence, as if an ancient behemoth was lurking within, silently watching everything.
Qin Yu's eyes darkened, and he thought to himself, "As expected, there are even deeper secrets here... If I don't see through them, there's absolutely no way I can cultivate in peace."
He did not back down, but instead stealthily moved deeper into the whirlpool.
Qin Yu held his breath and focused his mind, completely disappearing into a fragmented nebula, as if transforming into a cold, desolate pattern in the universe, suppressing even the slightest fluctuations to their Limit. The Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel slowly rotated in his sea of consciousness, their Azure Ring glow gently wafting, completely eliminating him from the perception of the Annihilation Dawn Realm expert.
Ahead, the battle between the Flame Demon and the Deathly Silence Warrior has entered a frenzied state.
The Flame Demon God roared, transforming into a blazing sun, its flames engulfing the galaxy. His fists carried the power to cleave the Realm Splitting and shatter the world; each strike burned away vast swathes of space, creating countless fiery meteors that crashed down upon the silent powerhouse.
The Deathly Silence expert sneered, spreading his hands to instantly solidify the void into a deathly domain. His figure seemed to overlap with the darkness, and with each step he took, countless souls howled, transforming into sharp spears of deathly energy that pierced through heaven and earth. The starlight around him was extinguished, and even the raging flames burning by the Flame Demon God were gradually devoured by the Deathly Silence.
Boom boom boom!
The battlefield was completely transformed into a storm of destruction, with the forces of fire and death devouring and colliding with each other, as if two supreme rules were tearing each other apart in a life-or-death struggle.
Qin Yu watched quietly, without the slightest urge to make a move; instead, his gaze grew increasingly cold.
"Perfect, let them fight to the death."
He silently recited the mantra, suppressing his aura to the point where even the fluctuations of his soul were almost completely Annihilation, leaving only a trace of calm observation.
Deep within the vortex, the third, more ancient and terrifying aura remained dormant, only occasionally rippled slightly, enough to send chills down Qin Yu's spine.
He became increasingly certain that this frenzied battle among Annihilation Dawn Realm · High Stage was likely just a prelude, and the truly terrifying thing had yet to appear.
So Qin Yu simply waited quietly, his eyes fixed on the battlefield, ready to see the truth behind the scenes at the crucial moment.
