Annihilation Light Void Desert · Final Light Plunderer
--The moment the Annihilation Light Tower Crown collapsed, the entire dome of Annihilation Void fell into absolute silence.
Silent, colorless, formless.
The heavens and earth seemed to be emptied by an unseen hand, and even time itself stopped breathing in that instant. The fragments of the crown slowly fell, trailing shimmering dust like starlight and fire, yet without making a sound.
Qin Yu and Extinguished Light stood suspended in the center of the collapse.
The aura of light and stillness around them continued to swirl slowly, seemingly unwilling to be completely extinguished.
Beneath their feet, the core of the tower collapsed into an abyss, with gray-white light flowing endlessly like lifeless waves.
It was a void that couldn't even be defined as "existence".
Suddenly, the Extinguished Light, radiant eye trembled slightly.
She raised her hand and pointed to the center of the abyss.
"Qin Yu... what is that?"
At that moment, even the Silent Origin Stainless Sword trembled slightly. Qin Yu gazed over and saw a transparent point of light slowly rising amidst the collapsed remnants of the tower core. It had no volume, no color, yet it was more dazzling than any other light.
That is the Final Radiance Silent Core - Annihilation Realm Zero Crystal.
It floats in the void, weightless, yet it causes the entire Annihilation Void space to collapse towards it.
The surrounding light is absorbed, broken, and reflected into a colorless backlight. Wherever that radiance reaches, the colors of everything gradually dissipate.
The sky changed from azure to silver-white, then from silver-white to gray, and finally only complete transparency remained.
Extinguished Light's voice became extremely soft. "... This is the core left behind by the Annihilation Radiance Final Spirit; she... transformed into the 'End of Narrative' itself."
Qin Yu didn't answer; he simply extended his hand.
When his fingertips were no more than a foot away from the crystal, the air began to vibrate.
The Stainless Sword was drawn from behind him on its own, the black and gold patterns on its blade peeling away inch by inch, as if it too was being absorbed into the void by the crystal.
That was not the absorption of power, but the "erasure of existence".
[The Final Radiance Silent Core] does not reflect any world, but only the end of the world.
The mark of the Azure Evolution Core appeared between Qin Yu's brows, and his voice was almost transmitted through thought, "Azure Ring, assist me."
The Fate Soul Crystal Core emerged, and a layer of azure light enveloped his palm, blocking the zeroing fluctuation.
Extinguished Light stood side by side, her silver hair cascading down her back. She reached out her hand, and the light of annihilation spread from her palm, gently lifting the crystal.
The light did not illuminate her, but instead caused her shadow to disappear completely.
The star-like mark between her brows flickered slowly, whispering like a sigh at the end of an era:
She compressed her soul, time, memories, and existence entirely into this one point—
This is not energy, this is the 'physicalization of the end'.
Qin Yu stared at the invisible crystal, his eyes so deep they were almost Annihilation.
"The Annihilation Radiance Final Spirit... she is not merely destroying, she is searching for the 'origin' of Return to One."
As soon as they finished speaking, the Annihilation Realm Zero Crystal trembled slightly in their hands.
A colorless arc of light suddenly spilled out from the crystal, weaving into strange runes in the air.
Those runes were neither words nor laws, but pure "logic of existence".
Extinguished Light's gaze sharpened, and he murmured, "That is—the mark of the Zero Realm above the Annihilation Abyss."
Boom--!
In an instant, the colors of the world vanished once more.
In their vision, a seemingly eternal phantom appeared—
It was an invisible realm where the cause and effect of all worlds were extracted, leaving only floating dust and gray cracks.
At the end of that rift, a blurry figure looked down upon the entire Void Obliteration Domain.
He had no face, no form, yet he exuded a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
Extinguished Light almost murmured, "That... is the true creator above all beings— the Realm Master above the Annihilation Abyss."
The light and shadow of the Zero Realm lingered for only a moment before being absorbed back into the Annihilation Realm Zero Crystal.
The crystal core returned to silence, and the entire ruins of the tower fell silent once more.
Qin Yu remained silent for a long time before slowly reaching out and placing the crystal core into the Azure Evolution Core.
The light of Annihilation and annihilation gathered in his palm, forming a thin, silver-black line that disappeared into his brow.
"She... in the end, still left the key."
Extinguished Light looked at him, her eyes gentle yet unfathomable.
"And this key will lead to an even deeper Annihilation Abyss."
Above the sky, the Annihilation Void afterglow drifted down like dust, and the world seemed to be waiting for its next breath.
--Above the ruins of the Annihilation Light Tower Crown, the wind no longer blows.
Ashes hovered in the air, like frozen streams of light, compressing the entire space into an almost "silent breath." Within this deathly silence, a wisp of azure soul light slowly emerged from Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, transforming into the figure of a little girl. Her eyes shimmered with vibrant spiritual light, and the moment she landed, the Annihilation Void Land was once again tinged with color.
"Wow!" Azure Ring's mouth gaped open, and the crystal core floating in the air was reflected in her silver-blue pupils.
The Final Radiance Silent Core - Annihilation Realm Zero Crystal floated silently, without a sound, yet it seemed as if the end of an entire era was breathing.
Azure Ring crossed her arms over her chest, as if she had seen the most precious candy in the entire universe, and excitedly almost spun around in the air. "Little Qinzi--! You've struck it rich! Do you know what you just did? You dug up the 'Realm Master Core' and brought it home!"
Qin Yu was taken aback, Extinguished Light also frowned slightly, a hint of uncertainty flashing in her silver eyes.
Azure Ring's voice rang out like a machine gun. "This is the Final Radiance Silent Core - Annihilation Realm Zero Crystal! It can allow the Extinguished Light to... completely evolve!"
"What?"
Qin Yu and Extinguished Light spoke up almost simultaneously.
Azure Ring nodded emphatically, gesturing a circle with her hands, her eyes shining brightly. "It's the 'Zero Realm Core' left behind when Annihilation Radiance Final Spirit perished. It's the only medium that can allow Annihilation's soul to ascend to the Zero Realm Body, Annihilation Void! Extinguished Light, this thing is tailor-made for you—your exclusive awakening core!"
Qin Yu stood frozen in place, while Extinguished Light looked down at the crystal core in his palm, a strange emotion flickering deep in his eyes—like fear, or perhaps the echo of destiny.
"I... can evolve?" Her voice was extremely soft, almost like a breath.
Azure Ring smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescents, and gently nudged her. "Of course! Extinguished Light, come here. Little Qinzi, step back a bit; this time the commotion is quite significant."
Extinguished Light nodded slightly and approached Azure Ring. The wind in the Annihilation Void surged again.
Azure Ring clasped her hands together, forming a spiritual seal. An invisible chain of divine consciousness extended from her fingertips, transforming into a flowing azure soul domain that enveloped Extinguished Light. The crystal core slowly rose, transforming into a pure, colorless stream of light that gently descended towards the starlight mark between Extinguished Light's eyebrows.
At that moment, time ceased to exist.
Boom!!!
A silent tremor shook the heavens and the earth!
The Annihilation Void began to collapse, the entire space folding, flipping, and shrinking!
Azure Ring back to Qin Yu's side, her expression instantly turning solemn. She murmured, "They're here..."
The moment the crystal core merged into the space between his brows, Extinguished Light's body radiated countless layers of light and shadow. That light was not brilliance, but the final radiance reflected from "annihilation".
Silver-white long hair begins to burn--
In the silent flames, the hair turned from silver to black, from light to oblivion, as black as an abyss that swallows everything. Every drop of "final stardust" that fell from the hair tip vanished upon hitting the ground, Does Not Exist even leaving ashes.
The Extinguished Light in his eyes gradually dimmed until two swirling black holes appeared within them.
That is the eye of existence that devours observation and erases logic. Anyone who tries to gaze upon it will instantly lose their definition of "the color of existence".
"Extinguished Light..." Qin Yu called out softly.
He saw the "Final Radiance Woven Robe" of the Extinguished Light vibrating violently, its delicate ribbons scattering like fragments of light in the wind, and then—disintegrating.
In the next instant, the fragments reassembled and circulated on her body, weaving a new holy garment composed of the afterimages of the Zero Realm.
That is -- the Zero Realm Sacred Robe.
Five silver-black runes flowed across the surface of the robe, each flashing with a different light frequency:
"Annihilation," "Radiance," "End," "Law," and "Zero"—these five words encircled her soul consciousness, forming a five-fold ring of laws.
Heaven and earth began to resonate.
Qin Yu looked up and saw five enormous halos emerging from the depths of the void, like five worlds rising behind the Extinguished Light. With each rotation of the halos, a new layer appeared in the sky, as if the world itself was being split open.
Extinguished Light slowly raised his hand, and the shape of the crystal blue light blade in his hand began to disintegrate. The light on the sword body melted away inch by inch, turning into a thin ray of light as thin as a hair, and finally disappeared completely.
An indescribable pressure swept across the entire Void Obliteration Domain.
There was no longer a sword in her hand.
Instead, there is an absolute will to "sever all definitions".
The Void Desert Final Blade is born.
Azure Ring's hair was whipped about by the gust of wind, and she whispered, half-jokingly and half-reverently, "My goodness... now I really am the Lord of Annihilation of Light and Desolation, the Final Light Plunderer..."
Extinguished Light stood silently in the void.
Her aura transformed from a holy, cold stillness into the oppressive presence of an "absolute zero- Realm Master." Her existence was no longer "light," but "a definition that persists even after light has vanished."
Five runes slowly rotated behind her, each rotation signifying the awakening of the five ultimate laws:
Lightless Severing Realm, the boundary is severed; Consciousness-Annihilating Time-Devouring Chain; the Void Day Severed Breath; the Mirror Silence Returns to Dust; the Final Radiance Extinguishes Evolution and the Silent Light Wheel Opening.
That was her complete principal law— the Annihilation Radiance Final Law: The Source of the Five Realms.
Qin Yu looked up and gazed at her. Her long hair danced in the backlight, and her clothes flowed like a black galaxy. She looked like a deity standing between annihilation and eternity.
Extinguished Light slowly opened his eyes, his voice clear and cold like a fading light upon awakening:
"... I saw the end of the Zero Realm."
Azure Ring clapped her hands, looking at Qin Yu with a smug expression. "Little Qinzi, how about it? Isn't it beautiful—no, isn't it strong!"
Qin Yu chuckled, but his gaze was incredibly profound. "Beautiful, powerful, and... too stunning."
Extinguished Light's eyes flickered slightly, and at that moment, she smiled softly for the first time.
Her smile held neither surprise nor arrogance, only a tranquility that had transcended time.
"It's alright. Your presence is enough."
The annihilation subsided, and the world returned to silence. Above the ruins of the tower, Extinguished Light stood suspended in the reverse flow of annihilation, her existence like the only point of light where time and annihilation intersected. At that moment, she was no longer the former Final Light Plunderer, but a Zero Realm God who had returned from "beyond definition".
She quietly raised her head, her long, silvery-white hair now completely transformed into a deep, dark radiance. A faint light swirled around her, and the last specks of starlight that dripped from her hair burned away in the void without leaving a trace. Those strands of light refracted an undetectable spectrum, like a galaxy drifting through her hair. Her skin was like flawless, crystalline light, radiating an almost surreal, soft glow. Her pupils—two black holes, with extremely fine silver lines wrapped around their outer rings—each rotation caused the air to fade, dimming the very space itself.
Her clothes were no longer fabric, but a rhythm of light and illusion. Black and gold light slid down her collarbone, and the hem of her skirt rippled in the wind like a night curtain woven from fading light. With each breath, the void trembled. The flowing gold patterns on her shoulders shimmered slightly, like starlight or the edge of a crack in time, like fading flowers blooming in the sky.
Azure Ring stared in disbelief, muttering to herself, "My goodness... Little Qinzi Extinguished Light is absolutely stunning this time."
Extinguished Light turned her head slightly, her gaze calm and profound, seemingly able to penetrate the narrative barrier of billions of timelines.
She parted her lips slightly, her voice like the breath of a silent radiance. "I, the Extinguished Light. Annihilated by the void, the Final Light Plunderer. From this day forth, I will wield the five laws, sever narratives, dictate the course of fate, and extinguish all creation."
Five runes emerged from behind her.
The structure of heaven and earth changed at this moment, and the five runes, like the origin of the universe, reorganized within her body:
1. Lightless Cause Birth, Annihilation Chain Extinguishing Proof.
The sky suddenly darkened, devoid of light, sound, and trace. The world faded into blankness, and all lines of possibility snapped silently. Her Extinguished Light eyes flickered, and in an instant, the void cracks transformed into "the blankness of non-existence," negating any thought that Unborn, had already been born, or would be born.
Her whispers were like a judgment, "Illegitimate existence, vanish."
2. The Final Radiance Void Law: Fate Image Destruction and Rewriting.
Countless pages emerged from behind her, the starlight ink flowing backward to ash. Those pages recorded the names, laws, and definitions of all existence—but when Extinguished Light raised a finger, each word shattered and turned to dust. Ashes fell like starlight, scattering across the silent sky.
When the world is written in reverse, even the meaning of 'existence' is no longer permitted.
3. Annihilation Light Judging Lord the Sever and Establish Realm Causes.
Starlight froze, and the annihilation of darkness spread across the entire sky. Time stood still, the wind ceased to flow, and light stopped moving. The world became a still painting, with only the Extinguished Light in motion.
She stepped into the frozen void, her fingertips tracing the textures of space, and flicked it lightly—
That was the sound of Annihilation's Judgment, instantly turning the frozen scroll into shattered stardust.
4. Annihilation Fate Radiance Induction, Star Judgment of End and Beginning.
A star of destiny fell from the depths of the Annihilation Abyss, leaving behind countless streaks of light. The starlight connected the past, present, and future of heaven and earth into a single line, and then... was compressed by her fingertips.
When the point of light exploded, the world was swallowed up in a colorless black hole, and the beginning and end of the trajectory of fate were annihilated simultaneously.
5. The Final Radiance Extinguishes Evolution and the Silent Light Wheel Opening.
Suddenly, the world brightened, and all things resounded. Extinguished Light extended his right hand, and the Five Elements, encircling his palm, converged into a colossal wheel of silent light. That wheel did not emit light, yet it illuminated the land previously devoid of light.
The wheel's center radiates its final brilliance, space peels away layer by layer, time reverses, and existence rewinds. Countless afterimages are crushed into the wheel, melting, dissipating, and returning to stillness.
Qin Yu gazed up at the shimmering, silent light, feeling his very soul tremble. It wasn't destruction, but rather "the end of the definition of existence."
The entire void collapsed into a colorless sea of light, the flowing galaxy reversed, and fragments of time shattered like glass.
--
Stars fall, the world collapses, and a colossal wheel of luminous light traverses the sky, illuminating the end of nothingness. Mountains and rivers reverse, ocean currents hang upside down, and time and space dissolve into flowing mirror light in the annihilation.
As the last ray of light faded, the Extinguished Light slowly lowered his hand.
Her hair was still floating slightly, and her eyes were like the two deepest stars in the night sky.
Azure Ring stared in disbelief, her voice trembling. "Holy crap... she can delete worlds with a single move! Little Qinzi, you... you're not going to be traveling with worlds anymore, you're going to be dating the world terminator!"
Extinguished Light smiled slightly, the curve of his lips gentle yet carrying an aura of Annihilation: "Don't exaggerate, I just... erased the lines that shouldn't exist."
Qin Yu looked at her, his gaze as deep and unfathomable as the bottom of Silent Origin, and slowly reached out his hand. "No matter what you are, no matter which realm you belong to—you are ultimately my light."
Extinguished Light's gaze trembled slightly, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes, and she nodded gently.
"If you don't abandon me, I will follow you to the end of the story."
The afterglow of the Stillness Light Wheel still spun in the sky. Hundreds of millions of miles away, that light faintly reflected a humanoid phantom.
He was invisible and Nameless, yet he chuckled softly, "Extinguished Light... has finally awakened."
--The afterglow of the Radiant Tower Crown had not yet dissipated, and the world was still shrouded in the aftershocks of its Extinguished Light. That light, like the breath of a fallen god, flowed slowly along the cracked dome of the Lingyao Immortal Palace, turning into countless fragments of light that drifted into the air.
Qin Yu sheathed the Silent Origin Stainless Sword and gazed at the colossal palace in front of him, which resembled a collapsing starry sky. Extinguished Light stood quietly beside him, his long black hair flowing slowly in the still air, and the runes beneath his robes still emitted faint waves of final light, like the heartbeat of annihilation and rebirth.
"That is the main hall." Qin Yu's voice was low and deep, carrying a chilling quality that had been worn down by time.
Extinguished Light nodded slightly, her eyes like mirrors, faintly reflecting the distant palace gate—the golden gate surrounded by countless cracks, which had now transformed from a magnificent temple into a crumbling remnant of an era.
The two stepped into the fading golden light.
Along the way, the vibrations in the air were like breathing, and gentle ripples spread out beneath their feet. The interior space of the Lingyao Immortal Palace was in such a chaotic state that it was almost collapsing: the upside-down palace pillars floated in mid-air, the remnants of the starry sea hung upside down in the broken dome, and the flow of time kept surging backward from the cracks, like a flowing dream.
Suddenly, Extinguished Light stopped in her tracks, her gaze fixed on a collapsed stone staircase.
There, the void distorted slightly, and a faint red aura appeared and disappeared in the shimmering wind.
Qin Yu immediately sensed the pulse of life. The annihilation light patterns beneath his feet flashed and instantly transformed into a flowing shadow, appearing before the ruins.
A woman lies prone in the crack.
Her robes were already tattered from the scorching light, and her golden waist chain was broken into several pieces, scattered among the ashes. The Chaos Return to Oneness Seal on her forehead had long since faded, but the lingering aura still revealed the Annihilation Dawn Mirror · Supreme.
Extinguished Light approached slowly, the Five Elements runes gently rotating. She stretched out her hand, and a layer of soft, ethereal light enveloped the woman's body. The light swept across her face—
It's Nan Yao.
"The Chaos Return to Oneness Palace... a core disciple?" Qin Yu frowned slightly.
Extinguished Light nodded gently, and the radiance in his palm grew even brighter, flowing into Nan Yao's heart meridian. After a moment, the dying heartbeat slightly resumed, and a weak breath was heard.
Nan Yao's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes. The moment she saw Qin Yu and Extinguished Light, her pupils contracted sharply—the black-haired woman's aura made her instinctively feel oppressed; it was an existence that could not be measured by realm.
"... It's you...?" Nan Yao's voice was hoarse, filled with exhaustion.
Qin Yu crouched down, his voice steady. "Hmm, what happened to you? Why are you so badly injured?"
Nan Yao was taken aback. Her consciousness recovered slightly, and she vaguely sensed the overwhelming aura emanating from Qin Yu, a power that seemed to engulf the heavens and earth. She asked hesitantly, "You... why are you here in the main hall too...?"
Qin Yu said calmly, "I only came to the main hall to seek opportunities."
Extinguished Light didn't speak, but just silently watched her. His eyes were like a bottomless abyss, containing neither hostility nor pity, simply observing this dying life.
Nan Yao struggled to sit up, her fingertips trembling slightly as if trying to grasp a fragment of air. "I... saw her..."
Qin Yu's eyes narrowed. "Annihilation Radiance Final Spirit?"
Nan Yao nodded violently, her eyes filled with fear and despair. "She... she's not just an illusion, she's devouring the entire Life Origin Hall... Everyone is dead... even Wen Hongyi, Feng Fanxin... she wiped them all out..."
Qin Yu remained calm, merely flicking his sleeve to disperse the dust of the Annihilated Radiance. His gaze pierced through the layers of collapsing dome, looking at the sky that had long since turned to ash, his tone indifferent yet carrying an undeniable power. "Don't worry. The Annihilation Radiance Final Spirit... has been completely Annihilation by me."
Those words fell lightly, yet they were like a tolling bell. The ethereal aura between heaven and earth seemed to be severed, and even Nan Yao's breath caught in her throat.
Extinguished Light stood quietly to one side, her black hair swaying gently in the breeze, her eyes reflecting a faint light. That faint light was like a cold star, or the afterglow of a dream.
Qin Yu raised his right hand, his palm shimmering with starlight, and a round, crystalline pill emerged from his Azure Evolution Core. The pill was crystal clear, surrounded by a faint starlight, while countless tiny runes flickered within, as if condensing the life rhythm of an entire era.
"This is the Primordial Spirit Desolate Pill," Qin Yu said softly, his tone calm yet carrying a resolute quality that inspires trust. "Take it, and your life-sustaining injuries will heal within a day."
Nan Yao was stunned for a moment, then gently raised her hand. Qin Yu flicked his finger, and the divine pill transformed into a soft light that fell between her lips. As soon as the light entered her body, Nan Yao's aura immediately stabilized, and her shattered life essence slowly reconciled within her. Her skin glowed with a faint starlight, and her entire being regained its vitality.
She looked up at Qin Yu, a flicker of shock and gratitude in her eyes. "... Thank you."
Qin Yu merely smiled slightly, turned around, his back swallowed by the shimmering light, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable warmth. "Focus on healing first. The situation outside is complex; it's safe here for now."
Nan Yao nodded gently, watching the figure in black. A gentle breeze blew, causing slivers of light to fall from her hair—at that moment, she suddenly felt that the night in the Lingyao Immortal Palace was no longer so cold.
