The Annihilation Abyss's Depths · The Void Crown's Demise

The night sky of the Void Obliteration Domain was illuminated by countless floating Kong Ling patterns. These patterns were not light, but "consciousness nodes" interwoven with cause and effect and logic, extending into a nine-pointed array in the abyss. Each point represented the core of a gang.

After Huo Yuan's death, the ninth corner in the center of the array completely dimmed. The aftershocks of that collapsed logic still reverberated deep in the void, as if reminding them that an inexplicable force had erased their alliance.

A moment later, eight projections appeared one by one in the void.

First was Li Tiansha, clad in crimson-black armor. His eyes blazed like fire, his gaze as cold as burning meteorite iron. "That idiot Huo Yuan actually died on the Annihilation Wasteland Border? Ha... Besides some rogue cultivators and ruins, who else could kill him there?"

Xue Wuhen sneered, his voice low and hoarse. "What I care more about isn't who can kill him, but the fluctuations when that golden light dissipated. That wasn't the work of an ordinary person; it was like—the 'echoing echo' of annihilation."

Li Tiansha raised his eyes. "You mean... that person can erase their existence?"

Xue Wuhen extended his fingertip, and a drop of crimson blood floated in his palm, condensing into a miniature array—a remnant of Huo Yuan's logic crystal core collapsing before his death. The blood-red array flashed violently, reflecting a pure white—an No Definition be recorded.

"The annihilation was too thorough." Xue Wuhen narrowed his eyes. "Not even the cause and effect of his death were left behind, and even the Fate Seal doesn't acknowledge who he killed. The one capable of this... shouldn't be the hand of the Only Book Realm."

A cold flash of fire suddenly ripped through the void, and Yan Wuji, the third Yan Wuji, spoke. His figure was enveloped in black flames, and his voice was like a low murmur of lava, "No matter who it is, if they have harmed anyone from our Nine Alliances Gang, it is tantamount to provoking the entire Void Obliteration Domain's Rogue Cultivator system."

"Ha—you make it sound so easy."

The cold laugh came from the fourth corner, Zhan Litian. He sat cross-legged on a ten-thousand-foot-tall crimson dragon throne, clad in annihilating gold armor, his eyes flashing with endless killing intent.

"Huo Yuan, who was at the Severed Observation Realm · Supreme, was killed without leaving any trace of cause and effect... If the other party was truly at the Only Book Realm, then there may be a 'non-rule cultivator' in this Annihilation Wasteland Border who is even more dangerous than us."

A sudden clap of thunder erupted in the void above.

"If they truly are practitioners outside the rules—then they must be eliminated even more."

Lei Baxiao, the fifth figure, was surrounded by crackling lightning, his tone violent. Behind him, thunderclouds churned, and his phantom was like a god. He threw a punch, and lightning roared and vibrated within the array.

"Our nine gangs are one. His destruction of Huo Yuan is tantamount to declaring war on us!"

"Heh... if it really is a declaration of war, then I'm somewhat interested."

A chilling laugh rang out; it was the sixth horn, Long Miesheng. Behind him, countless illusory souls roared— the Devouring Soul Hall's myriad souls display, eerie and terrifying.

"Give me just a wisp of that person's consciousness, and I can trace back to all his memories and life essence within the 'Soul-Annihilating Nether Tide'."

"Your method is likely to backfire."

At the seventh point, Lan Juechen spoke. His expression was indifferent, his long robes fluttered, and the air around him rippled like a tide, as if he could tear apart the sea with a wave of his hand.

"Even the Heavenly Dao refuses to touch the Soul-Annihilating Nether Tide. If you pursue the wrong soul, you will attract the 'Counter-Definition Silent Wave,' and you will be the one who dies."

Long Miesheng sneered, "It's better for one of me to die than for others to ride roughshod over us."

Finally, Xiao Lingtian, the eighth figure, remained silent. His eyes were closed, as if listening to the deeper void. After a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice calm yet carrying a power that made everyone uneasy.

"I heard it... an echo of 'Undefined Annihilation' above that canyon."

"That power is something even the logic of Void Evolution fears."

The atmosphere in the formation suddenly froze.

Zhan Litian frowned deeply. "Xiao Lingtian, you mean—that's not just a simple cultivator?"

Xiao Lingtian slowly opened his eyes, his pupils reflecting the image of countless galaxies.

"It is a power that exists 'before it is observed'."

"Huo Yuan was killed by a 'hand that never existed'."

Lei Baxiao roared angrily, "Stop being so mysterious! What exactly are you trying to say?"

Xiao Lingtian slightly raised his hand, and a golden rune appeared in his palm. It was the newly formed "Logic Crystal Core" that connected the auras of the eight people.

"I propose that—starting today, we abandon our internal strife and form a temporary alliance. Our pursuit of this person is not for revenge, but solely to determine whether he still belongs to the 'narrative of the Source of Epochless '."

Yan Wuji, Xue Wuhen, Zhan Litian, and Li Tiansha looked at each other for a moment and then fell silent.

At that moment, the void array relit, and eight pillars of light converged at the center, transforming into a "Nameless eye."

It silently gazes toward the Annihilation Wasteland Border.

The aura of the Void Abyss surged violently at this moment. The eight forces of the Void Obliteration Domain converged at the core of the golden logic array. The figures of the eight gang leaders were like eight judgment gods, suspended above the Jie Xu. The spiritual pressure around them had long surpassed all physical and temporal constraints, as if the entire Void Obliteration Domain was trembling slightly under their will.

Zhan Litian stepped forward first, his long hair flying wildly, his armor blazing with golden flames. He reached out and ripped open the void, revealing a massive Annihilation Star mark. The mark radiated a light that devoured heaven and earth, and was inscribed with nine thousand blood-red spirit patterns—the symbol of the "Nine Alliances Dharma Oath."

"From this day forward, in the name of my Army-Breaking Pavilion, I hereby issue the 'Void Obliteration Domain Hunt Order'!"

Lei Baxiao's fists roared, and countless bolts of lightning exploded from his body, transforming into a Myriad Thunder God Seal: "Thunder Hegemony Responds! We swear by thunder, all who dare to protect this person will be annihilated!"

Yan Wuji spread his arms wide, and the world-burning black flames rose up, turning the void into a burning night sky. His voice was deep and resonant, like demonic flames from beyond the heavens. "The Black Flame Empire swears an oath by fire. If this man still lives, the world will never be at peace."

Xue Wuhen raised his hand, and a drop of blood merged into the center of the golden array. The blood instantly exploded into countless patterns, transforming into a blood-red lotus that appeared in the sky. "Blood Blade Hall, by my command—pursue to the Void Abyss, never look back."

Li Tiansha snorted coldly, flipped his right palm, and a blade stained with demonic energy shot into the sky, drawing a crimson trail. "The Heavenly Sha Alliance marches forth, leaving no survivors!"

Then came Long Miesheng's sinister laugh. Behind him appeared a sea of souls, within which countless souls wailed. He murmured softly, "Devouring Soul Hall, stealing souls and consciousness. As long as this man lives, my Devouring Soul Hall will not cease to exist."

Lan Juechen sighed softly, his aura transforming into endless waves. His robes fluttered, and with a wave of his hand, a ripple of azure water spread across the sky. "The Raging Waves Sect hereby pledges to proclaim this decree of annihilation through the sounds of the myriad realms."

Finally, Xiao Lingtian stood atop the void, his radiance transforming into countless mirrors that reflected the entire Void Obliteration Domain. In each mirror, Qin Yu's image appeared.

"The Nine Alliances have lost a corner; today's oath—in the name of the Eight Regions—to reawaken the 'Hunting Order.'"

"Void Obliteration Domain, by the command of propositions, by the oath of logic—anyone who sees this person shall be executed!"

Boom--!

At that moment, the entire sky of the Void Obliteration Domain shattered completely. Eight golden rays shot into the sky, forming a chain of logical laws that traversed the Milky Way, etching Qin Yu's image into the destiny of all realms. Cultivators in the Void Obliteration Domain, no matter where they were, could hear that soul-shaking whisper in their sea of consciousness:

"The hunting order has been issued—Target: Nameless One Only Book Realm · Intermediate Stage."

Countless cultivators looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with horror and fervor. Some were shocked, some were greedy, and some laughed wildly—a catastrophe that Void Obliteration Domain was quietly beginning.

Meanwhile, far away in the abyss canyon on the Annihilation Wasteland Border, Qin Yu quietly stepped into that familiar chaotic wasteland.

The air still carried the bloody scent of yesterday's battle, but before him, the world gradually fell silent.

He walked to the end and looked up at the abyss of Void Crown Final Darkness Sourceless Annihilation Judgment.

The sky was now a chaotic gray, and Spiritual Qi was being sucked into the abyss like quicksand. A deep roar echoed in the distance. The sound was not deafening, but it directly affected the soul's "cognition," as if even the concept of "hearing" was being torn apart.

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the Silent Origin Stainless Sword silently appeared in his hand, its chaotic lotus petals slowly unfolding.

At the end of the canyon abyss, light and shadow had long since disappeared, and even the concept of "space" was completely distorted here. Qin Yu quietly moved through a "Void Rift Path" composed of gray air currents. Every step he took felt like stepping on flowing, Annihilation time, without making a sound, yet the entire world seemed to pulsate in response.

It was an aura of "Non-Existence." It was not death, nor Annihilation, but rather a "non-structure" to which no definition could point. Even "Emptiness" lost its meaning here.

At the edge of the lair, the Void Crown Final Darkness dwells atop a dimensional fragment torn apart by annihilation light. Its size is unimaginable, seemingly encompassing the entire world. The heavens collapse because of its presence, and stars, like fragments dragged into a vortex, slowly fall along the "No Definition orbit" around it.

The beast's form had completely mutated—it wore an invisible imperial crown, with countless cracks appearing on its crown ring. These cracks did not lead to any space, but pointed directly to the unstructured domain "beyond annihilation." Its body was no longer composed of flesh and blood, but was piled up with pure "logic dust," like the ashes of the universe writhing on their own after death.

Qin Yu remained motionless, lurking in the distance.

He saw that what was hanging from the beast's chest was the treasure it had snatched from the Divine Cultivation Legacy Realm. It was a sphere that rotated slowly like a star, but its surface was devoid of any light. With each rotation, it generated rings of silent shockwaves, as if smoothing out all the rules of existence.

As the Void Crown Final Darkness, the world began to collapse. The rocks were sucked into the void rifts and disappeared, even the process of "disappearing" was stripped of its temporal significance.

Qin Yu felt a strong "illogical resonance"—the treasure was backfiring.

He narrowed his eyes, and the annihilation ripples spread through his sea of consciousness, revealing a deeper scene in an instant—the treasure was not complete inside, but rather a part of the "remnant consciousness of the Cultivation God," which had been sealed deep within the Undefined Silent Abyss, possessing a "self-retrospective logic." Any being that attempts to devour it will be devoured by its "anti-construction logic"—that is, the being will disintegrate itself and become part of its constituent materials.

At this moment, the first crack appeared on Void Crown Final Darkness's body. The crack did not originate from the outside, but extended from the inside out. What overflowed from the crack was not blood, but flowing "ashes of cognition," a symbol of its own collapse.

The nest trembled, and the world fell silent, as if the entire space was holding its breath.

Qin Yu's gaze was as calm as a blade as he slowly concealed his aura. "As expected... that's not a level it can refine."

The roar of the Void Crown Final Darkness erupted, shaking the boundaries of the Void Obliteration Domain. It was not a roar, but a pure sound of "existence tearing apart". The entire nest began to disintegrate, and the gray waves rolled into a ten-thousand-foot-high annihilation tide - it was a "Structureless Annihilation Tide", even "annihilation" itself was dragged into the flow of nothingness and dissolution.

Qin Yu transformed into a streak of light and retreated several miles away. He gazed at the monster that was devouring itself, his eyes deep and calm.
