The Timeless Expanse and the Lightless Final Wheel

The world suddenly lost its balance.

At that moment, the Epoch Absolute Entropy Source was no longer like a tranquil pool of liquid annihilation, but rather the pulsating core of the entire universe. Qin Yu and Extinguished Light floated in the center of the light stream, and the aura within their bodies could no longer be described as "cultivation," but rather as if the world itself was recalculating the meaning of "existence" within them.

Countless particles of light tore through the sky, bursting forth from their meridians and souls. Each particle carried the vibrations of the constant laws of the universe.

Qin Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and the projection of the Ninefold True Evolution Dharma Wheel appeared in his pupils. The Azure Evolution Core bloomed with brilliant light on his chest, and billions of inscriptions spread from his bones to his blood, from his blood to his soul, and from his soul to his life source. It was a scene of "fate" being rewritten.

The brilliance of heaven and earth reached its peak at this moment.

Qin Yu hovered above the Epoch Absolute Entropy Source, his body like the axis of light merging into the galaxy. The Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel slowly unfolded behind him, interlocking to form a cosmic ring of annihilation light.

When the first wisp of "Absolute Entropy Radiance" entered his body, time and space stood still. The Azure Evolution Core resonated in his chest, bursting forth with ten thousand life patterns, each one like a star exploding, turning into billions of light dust, merging into his meridians and the depths of his soul.

With a jolt, the heavens and earth roared. The spiritual veins within Qin Yu's body were reshaped by the annihilation light, and every inch of his flesh shimmered with a faint light interwoven with black and gold. His soul was forcibly elevated, and his Contemplating Consciousness expanded to the point where he could directly sense the rhythm of the laws. At that moment, he "saw" the breath of the world and the patterns of destiny.

The Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel slowly rotated, and with each rotation, the entire Illusionary Realm trembled.

The Severed Observation Realm - Intermediate Level

The annihilating light surged into his body, and the energy of the Azure Evolution Core shifted from stable to explosive. Qin Yu's body seemed to be torn into countless fragments, but in the next instant, it reassembled, with new meridians, soul veins, and life source layers being reconstructed simultaneously. In his sea of consciousness, a "Law Star" interwoven with light and void appeared, its tip connecting to the unknown other end of an era.

He raised his palm, and a ray of light rose from his palm, causing the void to deconstruct and regenerate wherever it went.

The Severed Observation Realm - High-Level.

Boom--!

The vortex of annihilation around him transformed into countless lines of laws. These were the seven laws of time, space, causality, destiny, soul, existence, and narrative, all revolving around him and emitting a deep resonance. The energy of the Azure Evolution Core surged to its Limit, and a new "Fate Ring Seal" emerged from its inner layer.

Behind him, an illusion appeared in the void: billions of stars transformed into inky flames, converging on him along the trajectory of the Dharma wheel.

The Severed Observation Realm of Ultimate.

This time, heaven and earth were completely unable to bear it.

The surface of the Epoch Absolute Entropy Source suddenly shattered, and a pillar of entropy flow hundreds of feet high shot into the sky, directly piercing through the dome of the Illusionary Realm! Qin Yu's flesh and soul simultaneously transformed into light; his body was no longer a physical entity, but a "Humanoid of the Annihilation Realm" woven from infinite life energy.

He could hear the source of his life trembling for him, and he could sense the celestial palace's heart meridian rewriting the parameters of existence.

Extinguished Light gazed at him from afar, her eyes shimmering with the glittering stars.

The Severed Observation Realm of Supreme.

Boom!!!

The sky collapsed, and everything was turned upside down.

In that instant, Qin Yu's aura broke through the boundaries of cognition. The Azure Evolution Core completely merged into his Life Source Meridian, transforming into an "Annihilation Wheel Star Core" suspended in his chest. Nine layers of annihilation halos appeared around him, each ring forming its own universe.

The light stream of the Wuji True Evolution Dharma Wheel rose into the sky like a tornado, sweeping across the entire illusory realm and forming an unprecedented energy storm.

His voice was deep and divine. "--The order of the realms is set, the trajectory of destiny is reshaped."

As the sound rang out, countless annihilation rifts in the void closed simultaneously, restoring peace to the world, but the atmosphere was in turmoil.

Qin Yu's long hair swayed slightly, and his black and gold eyes shone with a dual divine light of destruction and creation as they opened and closed.

He finally stepped into the Severed Observation Realm Supreme.

At this moment, his existence was no longer that of a mortal cultivator, but rather a conceptual entity capable of communicating with the world.

Azure Ring watched in disbelief from afar, muttering under her breath, "Little Qinzi has really become a monster now..."

Extinguished Light gazed at him quietly, a hint of tenderness and empathy in her eyes. "He is... rewriting his own story."

With this breakthrough, the life force of the Celestial Palace also trembled, and its underlying structure began to awaken—an awakening that even required the recalculation of "epochs".

The Severed Observation Realm · Initial Stage, Intermediate, Advanced, Ultimate, Supreme.

The five realms collapsed and reconstructed layer by layer at a speed so fast that the world could hardly react. Each time a level shattered, a deafening roar of world collapse resounded within Qin Yu's body, space shattered outwards, and light and dust collapsed inwards.

Extinguished Light stood on the other side, her body almost assimilated with Yan Hui. Her long black hair transformed into a thousand layers of vortexes of annihilation light, and the Annihilation Radiance Wheel blooming behind her was expanding wildly. Five runes hung behind her, "Annihilation," "Radiance," "End," "Law," and "Zero" rotating alternately, the color of the light gradually changing from black and gold to a "radianceless phase" interwoven with pure white and absolute black.

Qin Yu's aura suddenly exploded to its peak— the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel merged into one, transforming into a massive annihilation star ring. He stretched out his hand, and from the center of the Azure Evolution Core in his palm, a "Fate Track Annihilation Light Chain" flew out, wrapping around his body like the breathing pulse of the universe itself.

The entire space began to shake.

No, it's that the underlying logic of reality has been squeezed and distorted.

Space folded into countless mirror images, time flickered repeatedly, and heaven and earth were like a curtain being kneaded by a giant hand, being stretched, torn apart, and stitched back together time and time again. At this moment, Extinguished Light's body fully blossomed into an "annihilated star."

That was her transformation.

Her clothes disintegrated in the light, transforming into flowing ribbons of ethereal light that reassembled around her body. Golden and black patterns shimmered between her shoulders and neck, and the starlight mark on her chest expanded into a halo. That halo belonged neither to time nor to existence; it was simply the "shape of ultimate radiance."

Extinguished Light slowly raised his hand.

The light gathering at her fingertips was no longer the previous annihilation, but a composite energy combining annihilation, final brilliance, and darkness. She murmured softly, her voice as cold as the abyss of the starry sky:

"The Xuanji Return to Origin, the Lightless Final Wheel."

Behind her, the sky collapsed.

In that instant, the entire space of the Life Source Illusory Domain was torn open by an invisible hand. The sky was no longer the sky, the ground was no longer the ground, and the definition of all existence was twisted into a self-devouring ring.

The Silent Light Wheel Opening.

Boom--

A gigantic wheel-like shadow descended from the sky. It was not an object, but a manifestation of a concept.

The pure white glow and the pure black radiance intertwine, forming a perfectly symmetrical outline.

In the instant of rotation, the entire world seemed to be pulled by immense gravity, time flowed in reverse, and space was crushed into powder. Mountains and rivers faded, spiritual mist froze, and light blazed backward. The existence of all things retreated from the "present" to a state before they were "written".

Qin Yu stood beside her, his eyes reflecting the spectacle of destruction and creation.

"Form dissolves." He saw the collapsing void in the distance melting away.

"Soul annihilation." He felt the aftershocks of billions of divine consciousnesses devouring each other.

"The laws are stripped away." The Heavenly Dao shattered into sound, turning into a meaningless hum.

"Cause and effect severed." The past and future of the universe split apart, no longer recognizing each other.

--"Concept erasure." His own shadow was fading away, even the word "existence" was being annihilated.

"The narrative ends." Even the narrator's pen is severed by the shadow of the wheel, and the story has no more pages to write.

In that silent light, all sound was swallowed up, except for that single point of white light at the center of the wheel—the "core of ultimate radiance."

The wheel of light unfolded, Extinguished Light her pupils, like a shimmering starry sea, flickered with a faint glow. She murmured softly:

"Returning to zero, also returning to myself."

Boom!!!

The Stillness Light Wheel, heaven and earth collapsed, and the Life Source Illusory Domain was utterly shattered!

The Epoch Absolute Entropy Source was completely absorbed, and the light flow transformed into annihilation veins that flowed into the body of the Extinguished Light. She hovered in the void, her long hair cascading down like an underground river, her eyes ruthless yet serene. At this moment, she was no longer just the "Final Light Plunderer," but the Final Radiance Law Lord transcended the Annihilation Void.

Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes, his aura Steady as a Mountain, and the Azure Evolution Core between his brows was now radiating myriad worlds of light patterns. His cultivation had completely stabilized at—

The Severed Observation Realm of Supreme.

The surrounding space reorganized with his breath; the breath of all things moved with his thoughts.

Extinguished Light turned around gently, her long, black hair flowing, her gaze falling on Qin Yu. Her voice was soft yet carried a world-shattering pressure:

"Little Qinzi... you are now ready to look directly at the end of the Annihilation Void."

Qin Yu smiled, his eyes flashing with the light of annihilation and rebirth. "No... it's us together."

Beneath their feet, the deep tremors of the Immortal Palace's core began to reawaken, a halo connecting to the source of life rose from the earth, and the entire Lingyao Immortal Palace began to awaken. All things were restored and reborn amidst the black and white radiance—this was the world being reorganized. Heaven and earth were collapsing.

At that moment, Extinguished Light's body was suspended in the center of the Epoch Absolute Entropy Source. Her body was no longer just light, but a divine structure composed of the "end of light". Her pupils completely transformed into the Twin Stars of Annihilation, and the silver lines on the outer ring of her irises rotated violently. With each rotation, the spatial plane collapsed and reorganized, and the entire illusionary realm trembled with her breath.

As Qin Yu's aura surged to the pinnacle of the Supreme Severed Observation Realm, the five Annihilation Runes within her body lit up simultaneously, and a colossal wheel appeared in the sky— the Xuanji Return to Origin to Lightless Final Wheel.

The colossal shadow slowly unfolded, initially like a thin ray of light, but in an instant it covered the entire illusory realm. White and black merged silently, gold and stillness merged at their Limit, transforming into an unobservable "lightless" circle.

"The Stillness Light Wheel, returning to the origin."

Extinguished Light whispered, her voice soft yet penetrating all realms, instantly shattering the law membrane of the Illusionary Realm.

The Lightless Final Wheel begins to turn.

The sky turned to ashes, the timeline fractured layer by layer, and the liquid surface of the Epoch Absolute Entropy Source flowed backward from the center. All the radiance began to roll back, as if the entire space was being emptied and defined by her ultimate radiance.

At this moment, Qin Yu's Azure Evolution Core resonance surged, Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel and the Lightless Final Wheel echoed each other from afar, forming an unprecedented state of fusion.

His life force pulsed with the frequency of Extinguished Light —light and darkness, life and nothingness, existence and Annihilation intertwined and merged into one at this moment.

Boom--!!

The entire illusionary realm exploded!

Billions of energy pulses erupted simultaneously, as if the universe were experiencing its tenth Big Bang. Countless runes soared into the sky, imprinting themselves onto the celestial canopy of the Lingyao Immortal Palace, forming an incomprehensible final radiance star map.

At the center of the star chart, a "life-giving vein" is awakening.

It was a colossal chain forged from annihilation radiance and the light of destiny, stretching across the entire Immortal Palace. Countless fragments of laws roamed around it, like reborn galaxies encircling the divine core.

"The source of life... has awakened," Qin Yu whispered.

Extinguished Light, and a halo of light floated around her fingertips. "This celestial palace is not merely a ruin; it is the heart and soul of the Void Obliteration Domain."

The next moment--

The Epoch Absolute Entropy Source has been completely depleted!

With a deafening roar, the ground cracked open, the dome shattered, and the walls of the illusionary realm collapsed inch by inch.

Outside the celestial palace, the sky was torn apart, and the magnificent golden palaces melted away like quicksand, their dazzling brilliance suddenly dimming.

All the cultivators looked up at the sky and saw the entire Lingyao Immortal Palace begin to tremble, the mountains split apart, the void fire fell, the light bridge collapsed, and the divine tower toppled.

The outer barrier seemed to be devoured by an invisible force, peeling away layer by layer, and the patterns of the sky collapsed into a bottomless abyss.

At the same time, a dazzling beam of light erupted from the center of the Epoch Absolute Entropy Source Illusion Domain, engulfing Qin Yu and the Extinguished Light.

The light faded—they had been teleported back to the center of the main hall.

"Buzz--"

The space-time within the hall was still violently shaking, with the walls constantly twisting, cracking, and regenerating. Qin Yu steadied himself and glanced around, then saw Nan Yao leaning against the jade pillar, her aura restored to normal, slowly opening her eyes.

Her pupils reflected the collapsing dome and the crumbling light curtain.

"What's wrong... what's wrong?" she asked in a low voice, terrified.

Qin Yu's voice was low and tinged with suppressed anxiety. "Damn it, the Immortal Palace is about to collapse! The Life Source has completely gone berserk—run!"

With a wave of his hand, Extinguished Light Guang created a shield that enveloped the three of them, and the golden and black light streams intertwined to form a spatial rift.

Nan Yao had not fully recovered, but the light from the Azure Evolution Core lifted her up.

Qin Yu turned to look at the crumbling main hall, his voice icy. "This palace can no longer exist—all cause and effect have been devoured by the Annihilation Radiance Final Law. We must leave immediately."

With a single palm strike, the annihilation light of the Azure Evolution Core suddenly exploded, revealing Realm Splitting passage within the crack where galaxies flowed.

A starlight shone between Extinguished Light's brows as she gazed at the collapsing dome. The falling fragments of light reflected in her pupils like the fading images of countless eons of destruction.

"Let's go," she whispered.

Qin Yu nodded and, together with Nan Yao and Extinguished Light, leaped into the rift in light.

Behind him, the Lingyao Immortal Palace collapsed completely.

That once magnificent temple has now been reduced to countless fragments of light, crumbling into dust in the silent winds of annihilation.

In the end, only a silent radiance remained, echoing in the depths of the void.
