The Sacred Tree Bestows the Canon; an Oath of Light Severs the Abyssal Heart
The world fell completely silent.
The boundless starry river and light curtain at the Star Soul Realm Heart collapsed completely, leaving only Qin Yu floating in the center of chaos. After the Void Primordial Core completely merged into his body, his sea of consciousness violently trembled, and billions of Spiritual Sense were pushed to their Limit like a tide. In that instant, his mental space was torn apart, burned, and reassembled, and ancient annihilation divine runes emerged within his body.
Boom--!
The entire spacetime of the Annihilation Abyss Return Realm was reversed, and an unparalleled visual spectacle erupted around Qin Yu —the fragments of light from countless galaxies and the dark currents of the void intertwined to form a spiral of light and darkness, encircling him to form a triple Annihilation Divine Rings. Each ring carried a different layer of cosmic logic: light, causality, soul, destiny... all of which were simultaneously destroyed and rewritten in that invisible tide of annihilation.
As the last divine ring solidified, a celestial book interwoven with light and nothingness slowly appeared before him.
That book had no cover, nor any physical form; it was like Page of Light constructed from the energy fluctuations of the three thousand universes, each page burning, dissipating, and regenerating, as if it itself were a cycle of "existence and annihilation." Its title was imprinted with the mark of annihilation light—
"Heavenly Annihilation: The Supreme Emperor's Ultimate Manual"
The Heavenly Book slowly opened, and three streams of annihilation light of different colors flew out from it, encircling Qin Yu's body. In an instant—
The images of the three Law of Annihilation appeared behind him:
The first light is "Light of the Final Abyss," where black and white intertwine, stars collapse, and souls burn.
The second path is the "Ring of Soul Order," with nine cycles of reincarnation rotating behind him, and chains of souls intertwining in space and time.
The third path is the "Heart of Creation and Destruction," where the chaotic starry sea slowly unfolds, and the universe is like a rewritten scroll being turned over in his hands.
Every time the Heavenly Book was turned, it was accompanied by: spacetime rupture, galaxy reversal, dimension dissolution, and rule reshaping. The entire Annihilation Abyss Return Realm was torn apart by light and darkness into an unbearable spectacle.
Then, the will of the three forms flowed into Qin Yu's soul.
First Form - Annihilation and Final Abyss Judgment.
The space around Qin Yu completely collapsed. Billions of causal threads flickered around him like flowing light, then simultaneously burned to ashes.
His sword intent condensed at his fingertips, and an annihilation crack pierced through the starry sky.
Wherever it goes, time disappears, souls vanish, cause and effect are severed, and fate is frozen. Even the very fact that it "existed" is erased.
At that moment, the universe shattered into fragments, and the names, definitions, and memories of all things were simultaneously erased. The world fell into pure silence and white light.
It was as if the entire universe was self-destructing from within, and the logic of the world collapsed into incomprehensible geometric chaos.
Second Form - Silent Wheel: Soul Order Imprisonment.
When Qin Yu raised his hand, the entire starry sky dimmed into gray.
The echoes of countless souls converged in the void, transforming into nine dark chains of reincarnation that swirled around him.
A cold, divine light flashed in his eyes, and the lament of his soul was locked into an eternal magic circle. In an instant, the void transformed into the long river of reincarnation.
That long river is not water, but light flowing from the suffering of billions of souls.
The heavens and earth trembled, and the Milky Way flowed backward. Qin Yu clenched his fist, and the will of all souls instantly froze.
The universe has become a prison, where time, consciousness, faith, and hope are all nailed to the eternal cycle of reincarnation.
In this silent storm, he alone still stands at the pinnacle of time.
The Three Styles – Silent Origin, Creation and Annihilation Resonance.
The last page of the celestial book was completely set ablaze.
A golden-white chaotic light erupted from the darkness, and billions of stars seemed to be sucked into a cosmic storm.
The space behind Qin Yu was rewritten into a new universe—light, energy, dimensions, and rules were all reorganized under his will.
He raised his right hand, and the void instantly transformed into a chaotic primordial sea.
In a single thought, the rules of the world are shattered; in another, a new order is reconstructed from annihilation.
The dual forces of Annihilation and creation merged within him, like a divine spectacle—light and darkness converged behind him to form a giant lotus-shaped nebula, within which billions of universes were simultaneously born and perished.
Finally, a pale beam of light shot straight into the sky, traversing all realms. That was the core power of the Creation and Annihilation Resonance, symbolizing the Ultimate authority to control the lifeline of the universe.
The tremors of heaven and earth gradually subsided.
Once the three techniques were fully imprinted into Qin Yu's consciousness, the Heavenly Book burned itself out, transforming into billions of starlight that flowed into his body.
He slowly opened his eyes, and in that instant—
Wherever his gaze fell, space shattered.
His breath caused the Milky Way to crumble.
His thoughts, ideas, and intentions can all be transformed into the "law of the Final Abyss."
The ancient will of the Star Soul Realm Heart was fully awakened at this moment, and a voice as resounding as the universe echoed from the boundless depths of space:
"The Heavenly Annihilation: The Supreme Emperor's Ultimate Manual, once unleashed, will bring Final Abyss."
The Annihilation Abyss Return Realm trembled. From the abyss to the heavens, the rules of countless worlds flickered simultaneously, and billions of souls murmured in fear and submission.
Qin Yu stood silently amidst the collapsing sea of stars, his robes fluttering without wind, the three rings behind him slowly rotating—the Abyss Ring of Annihilation: the Ring of Final Abyss Judgment Silent Wheel, the Soul Ring of Soul Order Imprisonment, and the Silent Origin Ring of Creation and Annihilation Resonance.
He spoke softly, his voice calm yet resonating throughout all realms:
"So this is the breakthrough of [Silent Origin: Tribulationless Chapter] in fusing with the Void Primordial Core."
The world Ji Ran, except for that wisp of fading light that illuminated a new era.
Starlight shone in the sky, yet the winds of the Annihilation Abyss remained silent. The Radiant Sacred Tree stood tall and imposing, its ten-thousand-foot-long roots of light plunging into the void, like divine veins binding heaven and earth. Streams of light flowed through its branches and leaves like water, each strand carrying the echo of life and ancient prayers. Qin Yu stood quietly before the tree, his body still surrounded by lingering, not-yet-completely-dissipated Void Primal Energy —that aura emanating from the "Star Soul Realm Heart" caused the entire Sacred Domain to tremble slightly.
Yi Fuguang stepped forward slowly, his figure almost transparent under the light of the divine tree. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, bowed deeply, and said in a respectful but trembling voice, "Congratulations, benefactor... You have received the inheritance of the sacred tree. The Radiant Cascade Clan will forever remember this kindness."
Qin Yu raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the sky composed of light, and asked calmly, "The aura of this domain is more stable than before. It seems the Sacred Tree's heart meridian has fully recovered."
Yi Fuguang looked up, his expression a mixture of awe and excitement. "Yes, since you Annihilation that avatar of darkness, the roots of the Sacred Tree have reconnected with the Source of the Radiant Cascade. Our people... those souls swallowed by darkness, are being reborn in the flow of light."
He paused, then said in a low voice, "My benefactor, you may not know... the heart of the Radiant Sacred Tree slumbered for six hundred million years. Our people have always prayed for a 'successor of light' to allow it to breathe again. And today, the Radiant Tree offers its Star Soul Heart Meridian to you, which means—the fate of the Annihilation Abyss is no longer ruled by the Abyss."
Qin Yu remained silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand, revealing the faintly shimmering core of light in his palm— the Starlight Seal born when he fused with the Void Primordial Core. The light flickered, and the energy of heaven and earth trembled slightly in response. He murmured, "This power is indeed different from any energy I've ever wielded... The will of the Sacred Tree isn't granting me authority, but rather choosing a path of 'continuation'."
Yi Fuguang trembled slightly, his tone filled with reverence. "What the Sacred Tree transmits is not power, but the restart of destiny. My benefactor, you have become the bearer of the Radiant Will. If one day the Annihilation Abyss into chaos again, you will be the sole guide of light."
Qin Yu glanced at him, his eyes as deep as the ocean. "The Lightbringer... that name is too heavy."
Yi Fuguang shook his head, his tone firm. "No, benefactor. For you, it may just be a step on the road; but for us, it is the dawn of our entire race."
A breeze rustled through the branches of the sacred tree, and a rain of light fell like a dream, illuminating Qin Yu's profile. He gazed at the light and slowly extended his palm, letting the starlight glide across his fingertips, his voice calm. "If this light can truly bring dawn, then let it illuminate the deepest darkness."
Yi Fuguang bowed respectfully. "The Radiant Cascade Clan is willing to follow the light and protect you wherever you go."
The sacred tree emitted a deep hum, as if in response. Countless threads of light cascaded down from its branches and leaves, enveloping Qin Yu and Yi Fuguang within them, and the colors of the world seemed to freeze into an eternal stillness at that moment.
The radiance of the Radiant Sacred Tree cascaded down from the heavens like a thousand-tiered waterfall of stars, filling the entire Annihilation Abyss Return Realm with a crystalline tranquility. Qin Yu before the Sacred Tree, his robes fluttering lightly, his gaze as deep and unfathomable as an abyss. The "Void Primal Energy" he had brought from the Star Soul Realm Heart still flowed within him, resonating slightly with the Sacred Tree's light veins, emitting a low hum. The radiance bathed him, as if the very heavens and earth themselves were stilling at his command.
He raised his head, his tone calm yet containing an undeniable power. "Now that the Sacred Tree has awakened, and what was just Annihilation was merely a wisp of the Dark Will, if its true form is not completely eradicated, this light will eventually be devoured once more. If the Annihilation Abyss unsettled, I will not leave."
Yi Fuguang's expression changed drastically, his hands trembled, and he said urgently, "Benefactor! You must not act rashly—that Dark Will is not of this world; even the Sacred Tree in its prime could not completely suppress its true form. Although the Sacred Tree has awakened, it has not regained its former power. If you venture further into the depths of the Annihilation Abyss, I fear..."
Qin Yu smiled slightly, a smile that was cold and serene, like starlight burning in the eternal void. "Since I was able to meet you, since I was chosen by the Sacred Tree, then this is the mission bestowed upon me by fate. As long Annihilation Abyss, the light will never be at peace. In that case, I will complete this Annihilation."
Yi Fuguang was stunned. He had never seen anyone utter the word "destiny" with such calm and fearlessness. Qin Yu turned around, his robes fluttering with a faint silver light, Silent Origin Stainless Sword hummed softly at his waist, emitting a faint pulse.
"You don't need to worry," Qin Yu continued, his voice echoing as if piercing the wind. "Next, all you need to do is rebuild your people and protect the light of the Sacred Tree. Tell me, what is the source of that Dark Will?"
Yi Fuguang gritted his teeth, a flicker of hesitation and awe in his eyes. Finally, he took a deep breath, knelt, and kowtowed, his voice carrying the ancient oath of the Starlight Clan: "Benefactor, the People of the Radiant Waterfall will never forget your great kindness. The true form of that Dark Will... lies hidden in the deepest 'Abyssal Core Rending Domain' in the northwest of the Annihilation Abyss Return Realm. It is a place where even light dares not fall."
Qin Yu nodded slightly, flipped his palm, and a wisp of annihilation light rose from the Azure Evolution Core. A moment later, an ancient scroll interwoven with the aura of Annihilation and starlight quietly floated in his palm—it was a rubbing of the ten true forms of the "Silent Origin: Tribulationless Chapter" that he had personally written. The scroll was wordless, only endless rules flowed, starlight and annihilation flames intertwined, as if carrying the root language of the universe.
"I have revised this scripture," Qin Yu said slowly. "Although it is not a Heaven-Destroying level technique, it is enough to rebuild the foundation of your clan's cultivation. It was once my path; now, it is your clan's future."
He gently pushed out the ancient scroll, and a streak of starlight transformed into a stream of light that fell into Yi Fuguang's palm. In that instant, the light of the entire sacred tree trembled, as if blessing this legacy.
Yi Fuguang accepted the gift with both hands, kneeling on the ground, tears welling in his eyes, only to be refracted into shimmering starlight by the radiance of the sacred tree. His voice choked with emotion, yet clear as a vow. "Benefactor... I will certainly not fail your expectations. The Radiant Cascade Clan will take this as our foundation, rebuild the light veins, protect the sacred tree, and ensure the eternal continuation of your light."
Qin Yu glanced back at him, his gaze fixed on a silent universe. His voice echoed from the depths of time and space, "Go, reborn as your race. And I—will ensure that darkness has no chance of returning."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure was swallowed up by the light of the Sacred Tree. The aura of silver and black intertwined swirled in the air, forming a rift gate leading to the northwest of the Annihilation Abyss. The wind sounded like the sigh of a god, and Qin Yu's figure gradually merged into the storm of light.
Yi Fuguang clutched the true text of "The Silent Origin: The Tribulationless Chapter" tightly, tears finally streaming down his face, dripping into the scroll in his palm and instantly transforming into specks of light that merged into it. He knelt before the sacred tree, whispering, "Benefactor, if this journey is your Path of Annihilation, then the People of the Radiant Waterfall are willing to offer their eternal lives to light your Return Path..."
As the rain of light poured down, the sacred tree resounded once more. At that moment, heaven and earth seemed to tremble softly at this vow of "life and silence."
