The Contest for Limitless in the Chaos Rift Domain

The sound of heaven and earth collapsing seemed like the lament of Annihilation Void, the entire dome transforming into an abyss of light and darkness. Cracks in the radiant light descended from the sky, tearing open the last remaining layer of the sacred domain barrier of the Annihilation Radiance Immortal Palace. The Limitless Sacred Chain hovered high in the sky, its entire body encircled by ninety-nine rings of light, each ring forged from "the negation of existence," the flow of light reversed, cause and effect disordered. It did not emit light, but rather caused all light to be swallowed up upon approaching, forming a colorless, silent radiance.

At this moment, the chief elder of the remaining forces of the Fallen Dawn Divine Hall, Venerable Yanli, stood on the broken roof of the temple, wearing a dark robe of radiant light. The golden sun burning behind him had turned from a perfect circle into a desolate ring.

His gaze was as cold and sharp as a blade as he looked up at the sacred chain suspended in the boundless sky. His voice was calm, yet it pierced the consciousness of all living beings. "The Limitless Sacred Chain —this object was born from the core of the Sacred Realm and cannot be touched by mortal hands. All who dare to contend for it will perish."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space around him suddenly trembled. Several black vortexes burst open from the cracked sky, and four Annihilation Void Liu Yuan Practitioners appeared. They were all powerful cultivators from different realms, Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme.

One of them, clad in blood-red armor, had a third crimson eye splitting between his brows. His laughter was low and menacing. "Remnants of the Fallen Dawn? Your palace has long been destroyed, yet you dare to lay your hands on sacred treasures?"

Another person, wielding the Sky-Splitting Bone Blade and surrounded by thousands of soul shadows, sneered coldly, "This item should belong to the Abyssless Sect. You Yunli, probably don't even have a 50% chance of winning."

The remaining two, one with black wings burning with soul, and the other with clothes woven from spiritual silk, both exuded a terrifying aura capable of devouring the heavens and annihilating the world.

Venerable Yanli closed his eyes slightly, his aura restrained to the Ultimate, and the Radiant Flame returned to complete silence.

The next moment, he opened his eyes.

--Light erupted.

That was not fire, but the very source of dawn—the "Annihilation Dawn Sacred Fire," an ultimate flame capable of turning souls into ashes without cause.

The colors of the entire world were stripped away at that moment, leaving only the extremes of gold and white.

The four Liu Yuan Practitioners attacked simultaneously!

Their magic manifested as strange phenomena:

There is a black sun pierced by bone blades, a time reversal formed by blood flames, a long river of souls formed by the convergence of spirit shadows, and a spatial cage woven from spirit threads.

In an instant, this sky transformed into four overlapping realms.

But Venerable Yanli merely raised his hand.

"Dawn's Extinction - The End of Reincarnation's Radiance".

The space beneath his feet transformed into a luminous surface, and the tens of thousands of feet of his domain disintegrated into pure Annihilation Dawn rays.

At that moment, a soul-crushing sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth—the shriek of all things being destroyed as they were illuminated by the "truth of light."

The attacks of the four Liu Yuan Practitioners froze within the light barrier; all energy lost its color, and even fluctuations could no longer propagate.

Venerable Yanli a step forward and made a sweeping motion with his fingertip.

That stroke was silent and unnoticed.

But when the fingertip landed, the entire battlefield was cut in two—the upper half of the sky and the lower half of the ground were both burned to ashes by the golden and white sun patterns.

The light and flames dissipated, and the four people were completely annihilated. Their spells, physical forms, soul consciousness, and existence records all disappeared, and even the fact that they "had fought" was erased.

Heaven and earth returned to silence.

The Limitless Sacred Chain in the sky vibrated violently, and the "negation pattern" on the chain links resonated with the Dawn Pattern of Venerable Yanli.

Countless rays of light converged around him, propelling him toward the dome.

At the end of dawn, light fades into nothingness.

He reached out his hand, his fingertips touching the sacred chain.

The links of the Holy Chain shimmered with ninety-nine layers of annihilation light, the light flowed backward, time reversed, his robes transformed into pure golden flames, his long hair fluttered without wind, and all the sounds and sights around him were absorbed into eternal stillness by the Holy Chain.

Boom--

The world was once again enveloped in annihilating white light.

When the radiance faded, Venerable Yanli stood in the air, holding the slowly rotating Limitless Sacred Chain in his palm.

The chain links ceased their agitation, transforming into Silent Ring of alternating gold and black light, quietly floating in his palm.

Venerable Yanli murmured softly, "The remnants of the Holy Realm will ultimately return to the Gate of Dawn."

His expression was calm, yet there was a hint of shock—it was a recognition from the sacred treasure that even he himself had not anticipated.

Below, on the ruins, all the surviving cultivators witnessed this scene.

Whether they were Annihilation Void Rogue Cultivator or remnants of various sects, they all bowed their heads in worship, not daring to utter a sound.

Venerable Yanli slowly turned around, his cloak of radiant light swirling like a setting sun.

He looked up at the distant sky and sighed almost imperceptibly, "The Holy Chain has been obtained... but the order of heaven and earth has been disrupted."

The moment the sky shattered completely, the entire Void Obliteration Domain was engulfed in an unprecedented storm of holy light.

The resonant light of the four sacred treasures intertwined in the sky, and space and time folded, collapsed, and recombined at different frequencies—it was the era itself breathing. And just as everyone was still recovering from this destructive sea of light, the last sacred treasure— the Paradoxical Sacred No Mote —suddenly emitted a sound that almost pierced the soul.

The sound was neither a sound wave nor Spiritual Sense, but rather "the negation frequency of existence itself."

The colors of the entire sky were instantly stripped away, the radiance swirling into a colorless storm, and a strange silver-black light exploded from the depths of the void, turning into a suspended speck of dust.

That's it. Paradoxical Sacred No Mote.

Its form defies definition; it resembles both a speck of dust and an inverted world, its surface constantly reflecting and engulfing the observer's gaze. In a flash, it pierces the sky, tracing a silent path across all the holy light, hurtling towards the southwest at a speed that surpasses light, time, and thought.

At that moment, the heavens and earth roared, and almost all the cultivators looked up at the same time.

"The Paradoxical Sacred No Mote —has moved!!!"

"The last sacred treasure—it's trying to escape!!!"

"Chase after them! Whoever obtains this treasure, life or death, will rule the entire era!"

The sound waves swept in like a tide, and the entire group of powerful figures in Annihilation Void went into a frenzy in an instant.

The first to be disturbed was the Asura Divine Hall.

Their lineup was the most complete, personally led by the Deputy Hall Master, "Descendant of the Asura King, Yu Yuhunlan." His blood-red armor burned with a crimson glow, and a purgatory of ten thousand souls materialized beneath his feet. He roared, shaking the heavens. "The Hall Master orders—regardless of the cost, those Paradoxical Sacred No Mote must belong to the Asura!"

He raised his hand, and the void transformed into a blood-red river of light. Countless Asura souls struggled out from it, transforming into blood-winged beasts that roared as they chased after the wisp of silver-black light.

Immediately afterwards--

The three major branches of the Nine Federations mobilized simultaneously.

The Heavenly Sha Alliance's hunting party took the lead, and their chief hunter, Li Hanshou, had a cold expression and his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty madness.

"The Holy Chain has been stolen; it must not be lost again. All hunters, heed my command—by blood and soul, pursue the light, and there shall be no retreat!"

In an instant, the blood flames gathered into a phantom of a blood wolf, leading thousands of hunters into the air as they frantically pursued the trail of light.

At the same time, the cultivators of the Blood Blade Hall were also shouting battle cries that shook the heavens.

They wielded blood-red scythes, their blades flashing like rivers, while countless blood runes behind them formed a hellish array, surging like a crimson storm. Hall Master Li Xuan, clad in a tattered silver battle robe, sneered, "If any of the Heavenly Fiends dare to block my path, I will slaughter you all."

The ground roared, and black shockwaves rose hundreds of feet high. The Black Flame Empire's battle flag unfurled amidst flames and ashes. The empire's commander, "Flame Marquis," roared and led a hundred Annihilation Dawn Realm · High Stage experts into the air.

At that moment, black flames blotted out the sky, a sea of fire rolled, layers of void were peeled away, and the sky seemed to be burned through. The direction illuminated by the raging flames was the Chaos Rift Plain where the Paradoxical Sacred No Mote had fled.

The entire sky was torn to pieces by countless forces.

The pursuers' momentum converged into a "torrent of light" composed of psychic energy and killing intent, spreading for thousands of miles along the direction the holy shards had left. Light and shadow, fire and blood, soul and law intertwined to create an epic scroll of destruction.

As the radiance fell, the mountains were flattened, the sky swirled, and thunder surged from the ground.

Some wielded fragments of imperial treasures, tearing the sky apart to create new realms; others transformed into colossal shadows, shattering the heavens. The entire battlefield was utterly thrown into chaos.

The divine light resonated, and the auras of the five sacred treasures echoed each other.

Each time the Paradoxical Sacred No Mote flashed, the other Sacred Treasures would tremble briefly, as if responding to that immeasurable summons.

"The sacred artifact resonated!!"

Even the Primordial Sacred Core is moving!!!

At that moment, heaven and earth simultaneously emitted a deep hum.

The frequencies of the five Ultimate energies overlapped, compressing the space of the Void Obliteration Domain to its Limit.

The mountains under the starry sky were instantly overturned, the sea of light was swept into darkness, and the whole world seemed to fall into the Threshold of a nightmare at the same moment.

Elder Fallen Dawn Venerable Yanli looked up at the sky, their expressions changing drastically.

"... The sacred artifact is resonating; this place is about to collapse!"

The heavens and earth roared, and all realms trembled.

The direction of the Paradoxical Sacred No Mote has transformed into a desolate realm abandoned by the gods, where annihilation, holy fire, chaotic flow, blood flames, and soul light intertwine to form a magnificent yet terrifying sea of apocalyptic light.

Everyone ran in that direction.

Powerful figures, sects, temples, empires, and thieves from countless realms converged on a single trajectory of fate at the same moment.

What they were pursuing was not just a sacred treasure, but a key that could rewrite the entire order of the era.

Heaven and earth lost their color, and the holy radiance vanished.

The dome of Annihilation Void shattered completely. The remaining sky was torn into a bottomless abyss by the Primordial Holy Radiance and the Annihilation Dark Current. Countless fragments of light floated in the air, like a falling sea of stars, or like the ashes of an era.

The resonance of the sacred treasure has not yet subsided, and the turbulent currents of annihilation are still sweeping across the world.

In this chaos, a low roar that shook the very soul tore apart the entire ruined heavenly realm.

"The Sacred Radiance Limitless of the Chaos First Palace cannot remain in their hands—capture it!"

That was an ancient being from the Asura Divine Hall.

Blood and light flowed around him, and a huge blood-red Asura altar floated behind him. The eight soul wheels on the altar rotated simultaneously, forming a Silent Profundity Wheel Domain.

This is Elder Yuhuang, the Supreme Elder of the Silent Mystery Realm · Supreme Venerable Yuhuang of the Asura Divine Hall.

His body was a hundred feet tall, and blood flames rose from the soles of his feet, igniting even the ashes of heaven and earth.

"The Palace Master commands: Once the Sacred Treasure is obtained, the Palace will ascend to the Wuji! Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be annihilated!"

With a roar, the earth beneath his feet shattered into countless cracks.

At the same time, the Heavenly Sha Alliance on the other side also made a move.

Countless crimson runes emerged from the void, transforming into a gigantic phantom of a blood wolf, its howl piercing the heavens. That was none other than the aura of Li Hanshou, the chief hunter of the Heavenly Sha Alliance.

He knelt on the blood wolf, the Soul-Hunting Spear held horizontally across his arm, while the Blood-Robed Hunting Corps behind him were already bloodthirsty.

"The Chaos First Palace... Ha, you think you can monopolize a sacred treasure just because you obtained one? What a fool's dream." Li Hanshou sneered, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty crimson light.

He raised his hand and waved it, the blood wolf howled, and hundreds of blood shadows transformed into beams of light.

The Black Flame Empire's battle flag burst forth from the other side of the sea of fire.

That was a colossal array burning with annihilating flames and black suns. The imperial commander, Flame Marquis, clad in dark gold battle armor with his cloak ablaze, led a hundred peak Annihilation Dawn Mirror cultivators out.

The sea of fire and the sea of blood intertwined, illuminating the sky in shades of scarlet and pitch black.

The auras of the three forces mingled like surging tides, converging into a destructive torrent, all heading towards --

The elder of the Chaos First Palace, Venerable Nanlan, who was flying away carrying the Sacred Radiance Limitless, departed.

Behind Venerable Nanlan trailed a tail of light tens of thousands of feet long, which was the resonant radiance released by the sacred treasure.

He gritted his teeth, his chaotic vortex swirling wildly around him, and gripped the core halo of the Sacred Radiance Limitless tightly with both hands.

"These madmen... all want this sacred treasure... but it—will never fall into the hands of evil sects!"

Behind them, blood flames and black fire, like two Realm Devouring dragons devouring the world, pursued relentlessly.

Li Hanshou's laughter echoed in the distance, "Nan Lan —leave Sheng Hui behind, and perhaps I can grant you a quick death!"

The voice of Venerable Yuhuang followed closely behind, deep and thunderous. "The Chaos Return to Oneness Palace, dares to contend with the Asura for sainthood? Then offer your soul as a sacrifice to the Asura Blood Altar!"

Boom!!!!

The heavens and earth were torn into shattered fragments by three supreme energies. The blood-red light of the Heavenly Fiend, the sky-burning fire of the Black Flame Empire, and the Silent Profundity Wheel Domain of the Asura Divine Hall converged at the same time, chasing the chaotic long light. The entire Annihilation Void Heaven Domain was transformed into a burning battlefield.

As the holy light flowed, mountains were reduced to dust, the void reversed and collapsed, cause and effect were stripped into fragments, and light and shadow intertwined completely at this moment.

Venerable Nanlan's face turned ashen. He suddenly turned around and unleashed a chaotic palm print, forcefully clashing against the combined power of the three forces!

However, the power of the Sacred Radiance Limitless was too terrifying. The moment he activated it, it triggered a resonance between heaven and earth, and all the energy intertwined into an annihilation storm.

Boom!!!!!

With a deafening roar, the entire celestial realm shattered as if glass had broken.

Billions of streams of light exploded and scattered, and amidst the surging holy radiance, all sound was swallowed up by the pure white and black glow.

The light had not yet faded, and the three terrifying auras were still closing in.

Elder Asura, Heavenly Fiend Hunter, and Flame Marquis roared almost simultaneously as they stepped into the depths of that collapsing void.

The Sacred Radiance Limitless light shone in their eyes with a sacredness that could drive anyone mad.

The wind in the Annihilation Void grew colder and stiller at that moment.

The colors of the entire world seem to await that new battle—a struggle for the gods.
