The world suddenly darkened, not because it lost its color, but because—all colors were deleted from the "cosmic color spectrum" dictionary.
The next instant, the ground beneath their feet seemed to be swept up by an invisible sheet of paper, swallowing up light, shadow, wind, and sound, leaving only a void that even the concept of "nothingness" seemed too concrete to grasp.
The Realm of Wudao. The entire world resembles a ruin that has been personally judged by the Heavenly Dao.
The sky was no longer the sky, but a giant stone slab with thousands of cracks hanging from it—grayish-white, ancient, and cold, with each "break in the laws of the Dao" as if it had been slashed by thousands of invisible swords.
Every crack breathes. As it breathes, the road shatters into a shower of gray dust.
As it exhales, the gray rain flows back onto the stone slab, constantly increasing its weight and making the whole world increasingly heavy and suffocating.
Boom------
As the three of them stepped inside, the eleventh level truly revealed its terrifying appearance.
In the distance stands a massive monument whose height cannot be measured.
It's not engraved with words, but rather with... the outlines of erased words.
The monument's surface is like a lifeless, gray sea, every inch of it devouring the "Tao" of the world.
Whether it's the Way of Fire, the Way of Sword, the Way of Soul, the Way of Time, the Way of Void... as long as it exists, you can see its original trajectory turn into light that is absorbed by the surface of the monument, and then instantly turns into dust, flowing back to the monument.
It's like: the Great Way is committing suicide.
Hanging at the center of the monument is a gray-black rune—formless and intangible, yet it governs all life and rules.
With each flash, a distant avenue shattered into countless fragments, falling like billions of dust particles.
In the background, the broken paths resembled a storm, forming Wudao tornadoes that swirled towards the monument, making the entire world seem to tremble in an eternal cycle of "the Dao returning to zero."
The moment Ling Liangyan stepped in, her pupils contracted slightly, and the exquisite zither music shattered into fragments at her fingertips.
"... As expected, even the Daoist aura of the Annihilation Dawn Realm was suppressed to the point of being unable to move an inch."
The next moment, she took a deep breath, her eyes filled with both suppressed shock and an indescribable turmoil of emotions.
Then, she slowly turned her head and looked at Qin Yu and Extinguished Light.
For the first time, a mixture of relief, comfort, and gratitude appeared in those clear, cool eyes.
Ling Liangyan spoke softly, her voice seemingly about to be torn apart by the pressure from Wudao, yet still resolute:
"Young Master Qin... I never expected that I would be able to reach the eleventh level again."
Her beautiful eyes trembled slightly as she gently tightened her fingers, which resembled harp strings.
"Over the years, no matter which senior I traveled with in the Annihilation Dawn Realm, I could only ever reach the tenth level..."
I've never managed to set foot here.
Her voice was soft, yet carried the weight of years:
And now... it's you who have made me stand here again.
She gazed intently at Qin Yu, her emotions revealed for the first time. "Young Master Qin, thank you."
A gust of wind whipped up gray dust, which slapped against Qin Yu's black robes and was instantly evaporated into nothingness by the "Silent Beginning: Ring Master Soul Diagram".
He raised his head and stared at the colossal monument of the Wudao One that devoured all the Great Daos.
His tone was calm, yet possessed a tranquility that could make even the most wicked bow down. "Elder Ling, you flatter me."
I'm just walking my own path... and you're just a fellow traveler.
The next instant, the monument trembled, as if in "response".
The vital energy of the universe was once again drawn away by an inch, and space seemed about to shatter.
Qin Yu's brow twitched slightly, and the depths of the Azure Evolution Core vibrated involuntarily, emitting a faint "Annihilation Demon Flame pattern light".
Extinguished Light stood beside him, gently raising his eyes. The black hole of the Milky Way in his eyes slowly contracted, as if instinctively suppressing the suction effect of the monument.
Her long, black hair was whipped about by the Wudao storm, her dress flowed like extinguished starlight, her expression remained calm and serene, yet carried a unique tenderness towards Qin Yu:
"The further we go, the more dangerous it becomes. Qin... don't let me stray too far from it." Qin Yu nodded slightly.
Ling Liangyan: "Young Master Qin... the Dao Collapse Master is more dangerous than any forbidden-level being you have ever seen."
Qin Yu: "It devours the Great Dao. I have never seen such an enemy."
Ling Liangyan: "It doesn't just Dao Devouring... it devours 'the paths you've walked'."
Extinguished Light raised his eyes and added softly, "... and also devour the path you can take in the future."
A gray rain fell from the sky once more, like the tears of an era.
With unprecedented solemnity and anticipation, Ling Liangyan said, "Young Master Qin, this level... only you can lead us through."
Qin Yu raised his eyes to look at the colossal monument of the Wudao, his gaze as deep and profound as the ancient universe.
Then, he said softly, "We must be very careful."
Heaven and earth fell silent. Not that there was no sound, but rather—
"Sound," as a kind of principle, was swallowed up by the surface of the monument.
The next instant, the gray world trembled violently, as if the entire secret realm was being torn apart by some ancient force that could not contain itself.
Then--BOOM!!!!!!
The colossal monument in the distance that devours all the laws of the universe...
Finally—it opened its eyes. It wasn't the stone tablet moving.
Instead, on the "front" of the monument appeared a face of nothingness, as if burned by a thousand roads.
It has no facial features, only countless "remnants of runes that once existed and were erased" flowing out like blood.
Every line of blood is a dead road.
A deep crack, large enough to pierce the heavens and earth, appeared on the surface of the monument. Gray flames spewed out from the crack, as if some law-based monster that had been imprisoned for billions of years was awakening.
Then came that whisper, seemingly coming from nowhere. "The Way... perishes itself."
As soon as the sound faded—all paths crumbled and the entire world began to sink.
Rumble rumble rumble--!!!
All the rays of the Great Dao in the heavens and earth instantly twisted violently as if they had been put into a meat grinder.
Colors were extracted, lines were broken, and regularity shimmered into grayish-white shavings.
The sword intent shattered into powder. The soul wave turned into cold ash.
The air has become an "unbreathable void".
The ground beneath Qin Yu, Extinguished Light, Ling Liangyan's feet instantly turned into "Wudao quicksand," and the entire world seemed to collapse into an unspeakable dark base.
All rules are invalid. At this moment, even the 'gravity' permission is a temporary one that could be deleted at any time.
The Dao Collapse Master officially manifested, and the gray light on the monument flowed. All the "gray lines of the Dao Corpse" seemed to come alive, intertwining and converging to form a terrifying Dharma image.
A colossal statue, thousands of miles tall and composed entirely of "erased fragments of the Great Dao," stood in the center of the gray-white world.
A gray sun hung overhead. "The Wudao Rune" was embedded in his chest.
Its limbs are made up of broken chains of rules, and when it moves, the world cracks open with a gaping wound.
It raised its head--"------
The world felt like it was being choked by an invisible hand, completely suffocating.
There was no sound, because it swallowed up sound as well.
The next instant, the Dao Collapse Master raised one hand.
The fingers were like collapsed pillars of the world, each inch carrying the power of "deletion".
It made only one move—a gentle pointing forward. Just a simple gesture.
But in that instant, the roads all over the world screamed simultaneously: Boom!!!!!!!!!!!
The rays of light from countless avenues were "drawn back" from the four corners of the earth.
Like a tidal wave being sucked in by a water pipe—
All of it was poured into the fingertips of the Dao Collapse Master, and that power was directed directly at the three of them.
A finger falls, as if flattening the entire universe into a plane.
It's like bringing all the Dao, all the laws, and all the concepts back to their origin, returning to the embrace of the "Dao-less Void Stele".
Air vanishes. Time twists. Cause and effect break down. Space folds into a piece of white trash shaped like a piece of paper.
The heavens and earth roared once more—crack!!! This single finger strike was enough to crush the Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme directly into the Shattered Sea of Dao.
Ling Liangyan: "Ugh...!"
She was directly hit by the "Wudao storm" from the acupressure point, her chest jolted, and blood splattered out.
Her "Playing Jiwu Without Strings" Daoist music had barely begun to bloom when, in the next instant, the music was swallowed up by the monument and turned to ashes.
Her Annihilation Dawn Domain was crushed and twisted into a shattered sonic wave!
She was thrown hundreds of miles away, crashing through three layers of weathered book pages, her blood staining the world white.
But her eyes remained defiant. "... Young Master Qin... this monster... he doesn't even put the Dao of the Annihilation Dawn Realm in his eyes..."
She struggled to her feet, the strings of her instrument trembling as if they might shatter at any moment.
Black Radiance's long hair scattered into fragments of light in the annihilation storm. Extinguished Light raised his eyes, his pupils suddenly contracting like black holes that swallowed stars.
She raised her hand, and a Final Light Realm-Severing Wave swept out. The light was not light itself.
Rather, it is annihilation pressure that forces light to "pretend to appear".
Boom!!! The light collided with the finger of the Wudao, and was completely devoured in just three breaths.
However, Extinguished Light stabilized the forward pressure, giving Qin Yu ample space to maneuver.
The wind turned to ash. Heaven and earth collapsed. The Daoist voice fell silent. Qin Yu raised his head, his gaze as steady as a prison.
The Azure Evolution Core his brows trembled slightly, as if an even more ancient demonic eye had opened again. But this time, Qin Yu did not invoke it; he merely used his divine soul to stabilize his "existence."
He had to break through the first attack with his own strength. Qin Yu whispered, "Heavenly Annihilation - Overlord's Ultimate Technique - Second Form."
--Boom!!!! The heavens and earth exploded with black and gold. Qin Yu raised his palm, and a colossal -- appeared in the void.
The Silent Wheel Soul Order Annihilation Formation Diagram! The array diagram rotates, each inch carrying 100,000 Annihilation Pattern and 100,000 soul sequence chains.
It specifically counters the "Great Dao Framework". The instant the Dao Collapse Master's finger strikes...
Qin Yu suddenly clasped his hands together. "Silent Wheel - Soul Order Imprisonment - Open!!!"
The array suddenly expanded, like a massive Reincarnation Soul-Devouring Shield capable of swallowing all paths.
Boom--------!!!
The finger of the Wudao clashed head-on with the imprisonment of the Silent Wheel Silence.
A cosmic-level gray-white shockwave split the heavens and the earth in two.
The wind, the light, the space... everything floated away like pieces of paper.
The ground beneath Qin Yu's feet was shattered into a colorless cloud of dust.
The muscles in his arms were taut and cracked, and blood was gushing from his veins.
But he remained composed. His voice carried a chilling fighting spirit. "Dao Collapse Master —your Wudao... cannot crush me."
The cracks in the gray-white world are spreading. No, it is the "Tao" that is evaporating.
Each crack is like "rule ashes" left behind after the form of a Great Dao has been erased. The Dao Collapse Master of the Colossus slowly raised his head.
A death knell-like crescendo emanated from the "Wudao Rune" on its chest, a voice that seemed to come from a dead universe: --"The Way needs no existence."
The next instant, it raised its arms. The first skill of the Dao Collapse Master: Myriad Dao Reversal - Merging Realm Style.
Boom------!!!!!! Boom------!!!!!! Boom------!!!!!!
All the myriad light bands were forcibly accelerated and reversed.
Kendo → Recycled into sharp ashes
Soul Path → Recycled into Deathly Silence Storm
Fate Path → Recycled into Broken Fate Patterns
Time Path → Recycled into Reversed Black Sand
Chaos Dao → Recycled into Unborn Ashes
These rays of light refracted inward in the air and were all absorbed by the Dao Collapse Master's arms, forming a huge gray vortex.
A massive black rift appeared at the center of the vortex, as if it had swallowed the skull of the entire world.
The next instant— the Dao Collapse Master suddenly pushed his arms forward: Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A gray-white storm swept across the entire world in an instant, like a "Dao Devouring hurricane," capable of devouring the very foundation of any path.
It wasn't destruction—it rendered the very concept of "destruction" invalid. The storm crashed towards the three.
Qin Yu countered instantly; he didn't retreat. His brow furrowed slightly.
However, he neither activated the Azure Evolution Core nor summoned the Annihilation Devil Pupil.
Instead, he raised his hand, and a pair of Annihilation gold and black patterns appeared on his palm.
In a low, deep voice, he shouted, "Heavenly Annihilation - Supreme Emperor's Ultimate Technique - First Form: Annihilation - Final Abyss Judgment!!"
Boom!!!!!!!
A golden-black double-ringed starburst erupted behind Qin Yu.
The sky instantly turned two colors: the upper half was gold, and the lower half was black.
Gold is the end of the rules. Black is the furnace of existence.
He clasped his hands together, and a straight annihilation rift formed from golden and black light.
Like the "Final Abyss Boundary Line" that cleaves heaven and earth in two.
When this line fell—the void was sliced in two!
Like someone tearing apart a script,
It cleaved the Dao Devouring Storm unleashed by the Dao Collapse Master in two!
The storm suddenly exploded: Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!
The world was like an exploding ink lake, with countless gray fragments swept into the sky.
Each piece was the ashes of a "cancelled" Dao principle. The ground beneath Qin Yu's feet shattered inch by inch.
But he remained as steady as a black gun nailed to the center of the world.
The Dao Collapse Master's giant face turned slightly towards Qin Yu, its eyes, though pupil-less, clearly displaying a "gaze." It was acknowledged by Qin Yu's power.
--At least as a target that can be erased. The Extinguished Light, the Reflecting Final Light Annihilation.
Extinguished Light took a step forward.
The scene instantly transformed into a shattered sea of stars in black and gold, her long, black hair billowing out like a super storm of light that swallowed people's hearts.
She raised her hand, and a single ray of light from her fingertip illuminated the universe—hum—
A beam of "colorless light" appeared.
That wasn't light, but rather—the lingering traces of "empty light" left behind after light was extinguished.
She spoke coldly, "The Final Radiance Void Law - Fate Image Destruction and Rewriting."
Boom! The world gasped.
Like in a movie where "all the lights are suddenly pulled out".
All that remained were black and white, cool tones. With a flick of his Extinguished Light.
A phantom image of a "narrative page" appeared in the air, which she pressed down with a finger.
In an instant—the Daoist chains surrounding the Dao Collapse Master all turned into blood-red ink marks, being erased stroke by stroke.
The handwriting was erased = the mark was peeled off.
With each stroke of the brush, a red line cracks in the sky.
The "Wudao Rune" on the chest of the Dao Collapse Master trembled violently, as if it was forced to swallow back the rules it had spat out.
The storm paused— Qin Yu's Final Abyss Judgment carved out a crack for survival.
Ling Liangyan - Forcing a counterattack
Her chest was stained with blood, and three strings on her violin were broken. But she raised her hand...
Ten fingers plucked the strings again—the silent sound of the piano shattered the air.
In that instant, the void behind her transformed into—
The Seven-Colored River of Melodies. With all her might, she unleashed. "The Yanran Final Act — The Severing Sorrow Sound."
Zheng!!! The seven-colored zither river swept across the world like a whirlwind, each color corresponding to one of the seven emotions of the world: anger, sorrow, fear, confusion, pain, longing, and grief.
The instant Qinhe rushed towards the Dao Collapse Master--
The massive Dharma form of the Dao Collapse Master was dragged into a "silent abyss," as if entering slow motion.
Its movement slowed for a moment. In that very moment—
Qin Yu and Extinguished Light gained an excellent opportunity to attack, but the reaction force was terrifying.
The Seven-Colored River of Colors was instantly destroyed, the strings shattered, and Ling Liangyan coughed up blood and staggered backward.
Dao Source Devouring - Extracting Law Chains. The Wudao Rune on the chest of the Dao Collapse Master suddenly shone brightly.
A gray lightning chain shot out from its chest.
They charged straight at Qin Yu. Each chain was engraved with the name of a dead Daoist:
Sword, Soul, Fate, Consciousness, Wheel, Annihilation, Light, Cause, Effect, Time, Space...
Its purpose was not to kill, but to reclaim Qin Yu's "Dao Power".
Because Qin Yu's presence here constitutes an "illegal presence."
The chain emitted a terrifying sound, like metal grinding away. "Seize the Dao. Sever the Dao. Annihilate the Dao."
The chains locked onto Qin Yu's chest and Soul Sea.
It intends to forcibly seize: • the authority over the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram • the authority over the Silent Origin Stainless Sword • the legitimacy of the Tian Mie Overlord's Ultimate Scripture • Qin Yu's very existence
The chain approached the spiritual sea in an instant— Qin Yu suddenly raised his hand,
The Book of Fate Law - The Realm Severing Origin Brush shone with golden light in my palm.
With a flick of his pen, the six laws of destiny began to swirl around him.
Qin Yu shouted, "Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence - Six Severances Seal - Master Book Seal Severance!!!"
Boom!!!!!! Boom!!!!!! Boom!!!!!!
A "Six-Layered Golden White Life Law Judgment Tower" appeared around Qin Yu.
The tower is inscribed with: cause, effect, birth, death, sequence, and name.
Each layer is rotating at high speed, shooting out flames like a rocket.
The tower collapsed, crashing violently into the Wudao chains. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every chain was judged by the Tower of Fate.
It was forcibly rewritten as "invalid command." The chain broke inch by inch, crumbling into dust.
For the first time, a crack appeared on the rune on the chest of the Dao Collapse Master.
The roar was like thunder. The entire Eleventh Layer of the Heavenly Prison was ravaged by this impact—
It retreated one meter. Yes, the Daoless Stele was forced to "retreat" for the first time!
