Gathering the Nebula Treasure Realm's Treasures into the Spirit Core
In that instant, the tide of light behind the Nebula Gate was like a torrent dragging the entire universe, swallowing Qin Yu, Extinguished Light, Ling Liangyan into the vortex of light at the same time.
The next moment—the world changed drastically.
The world beneath their feet was not the earth, but layers of crystalline plains seemingly forged from the molten brilliance of billions of stars, like a flowing galaxy solidified into a lake of light. The luster rippled outwards beneath their feet, and colorful cosmic textures flowed slowly within the water-like surface, each step feeling like stepping on the heartbeat of the universe.
The sky... the real sky.
It is not a cloud, nor is it the sky, but a "giant planet" that stretches across the entire sky, with its boundless atmosphere and rings suspended in the air.
When the three looked up, what they saw was:
A complete ring of seven-colored stars, with a structure that transcends the laws of nature, slowly rotates, its rainbow light like a waterfall, cascading down billions of strands of divine radiance.
The light from the star ring refracted through the sky, forming countless beams of light that fell down. Each beam seemed to illuminate a dormant point in the world, as if the entire earth were being reignited.
The distant land undulates, and the mountains resemble broken and reborn stars; some peaks are crimson as if they are gushing from lava, while others are cold and desolate like frozen fragments of a starry sea.
The river of fire flows through the valley, with specks of golden light on the banks resembling particles from a nascent universe; occasionally, iridescent waves ripple across the riverbed, like a world in the making breathing.
Ling Liangyan couldn't help but take a soft breath. The magnificence of this world even exceeded her entire understanding of "heaven and earth".
Extinguished Light stood beside Qin Yu, her long, black hair shimmering with pale blue ripples under the starlight. Though silent, her pupils, like those of an annihilating starry sea, slightly contracted—clearly, the energy level here had reached a level she herself needed to be cautious of.
Qin Yu stood between the two, looking up at the giant planet hanging in the sky, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
The planet's band of light was slowly rotating, but with each rotation, it seemed to cause a Karma Ripple throughout the entire star field.
It was as if it were not a celestial body, but rather—the heart of a world.
A beam of light suddenly fell from the center of the giant ring, illuminating the path ahead of the three.
It was as if they were being told, "Welcome to a deeper realm."
There were no words, no trials. Only heaven and earth themselves, receiving them in the grandest way.
Qin Yu and Ling Liangyan exchanged a glance but remained silent.
But they could both see the same thing in each other's eyes—
This world is far older, more terrifying, and closer to the origin of the universe than the Fourteenth Secret Realm.
Extinguished Light gently raised her head, and a ray of annihilation light swept across the huge star ring in the sky through her eyes, as if recording, scanning, or perhaps... sensing its threat.
Land of Radiant Light, Sea of Burning Flames, Rainbow Sky, Lava Veins, Starry River and Primordial Sea --
The entire world is like a giant scroll hand-painted by the universe itself.
The three stood deep within the world behind the Nebula Gate, their figures elongated by the starlight, like three tiny points of light, entering a celestial scroll larger than the world itself.
Deep within the painting, there is a certain breath, a certain power quietly waiting for them to approach.
At that moment, Qin Yu, Extinguished Light, Ling Liangyan had just stood firm on that magnificent and vast starry sky.
The heavens and earth suddenly trembled. Not the mountains and rivers, but...
The rules are vibrating.
The air suddenly became heavy, and an indescribable ancient aura surged forth from the earth, from the sky, from the sea of light, and even from the world on the other side of the world.
The next instant... whoosh
Countless Daoist scripts burst forth from the cracks in the earth, the clouds in the sky, the fiery abyss, and the starry lakes in an incredible arrangement!
Each inscription is composed of billions of cosmic particles, dazzling and too bright to look at directly, like the first "words of creation" left at the beginning of the world.
The Daoist script ascended into the sky, converging on the heavens.
Then--BOOM----!!!!
It was as if an invisible hand had "torn open the boundaries between social classes" in the sky.
The world before the three of them... had completely changed.
The original mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, illuminated by countless Daoist inscriptions, transformed into dust, which rapidly converged, reshaped, and condensed into another spectacle—
An indescribable "Extreme Realm of Treasures" overflowing with endless treasures!
The moment the three of them looked closely, they were all completely stunned.
Even the pupils of the black hole, Extinguished Light, trembled slightly.
Ling Liangyan's breathing stopped abruptly.
That was a sea of treasures. Not a metaphor, not a description, but a real sea.
The entire continent was covered with boundless treasures!
Trillions upon trillions of treasures float, flow, and orbit each other like stars.
Each and every one of them is enough to drive any world crazy.
True Immortal treasures (empty substances that should only exist in immortal scriptures, now flickering everywhere like fireflies).
The Sacred Treasure (its vast radiance is like the dawn, and its gentle ripples can cause the destruction of galaxies).
The Mysterious Treasure (with a black hole at its core, surrounded by nine layers of starlight).
The Heavenly Treasure (penetrates the nine heavens and ten earths in one breath, its Daoist essence is like the breath of all worlds).
The Primordial Supreme Treasure (born from the first heartbeat of the universe, its light distorts spacetime and life and death).
Chaos Treasures (resembling invisible black mist, or tangible giant swords; they are like fragments of the will of chaos).
Chaos Treasure (an ancient artifact capable of giving birth to worlds, annihilating civilizations, and rewriting rules).
Even... an ancient, unnamed artifact that transcends chaos.
The light was dazzling, illuminating the starry sky. Someone murmured softly, "This is... the cosmic sea of treasures..."
Ling Liangyan froze, her voice trembling. "This... my god... so this is the real holy land of opportunity... this whole world... is full of treasures... this area... is a thousand times more extravagant than the combined treasure troves of countless Ancient Clan and temples..."
She wasn't exaggerating. She wasn't even "describing."
Because there are so many treasures, they have created a "self-gravitational field".
The treasures were so powerful that they were incompatible with each other, but the Nebula Gate managed to create a stable, high-dimensional structure from all the treasures.
Looking around, all I see are unimaginable sights:
A certain mountain peak was built from "fragments of chaotic treasures," each fragment being the core of an era of destruction.
A certain river is not water, but "Primordial Origin Liquid," which spontaneously generates Daoist rhythms and even gives birth to spirits as it flows.
Floating in the sky are shimmering rings that resemble stars, but they are not stars.
It is the spirit of the Heavenly Treasure that is dormant.
Further away, a broken ancient bell hangs motionless in mid-air, and every slight tremor of the bell causes 100,000 treasures to resonate in response.
Ling Liangyan was so shocked that she forgot to breathe.
"This... any one of these items... would be enough to drive any supreme power to a frenzy of competition... This... is a sea of treasures... the Ultimate treasure realm of the universe..."
Extinguished Light slightly raised her head, her annihilating eyes reflecting boundless brilliance, and said in a deep voice:
"This place... might not be a 'treasure trove,' but rather... the source of treasure creation."
Qin Yu didn't speak. But he sensed it more than anyone else—
Every treasure here resonated with him in a profound way, like the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, the Book of Fate Law, and the Azure Ring's Fate Soul Dharma Image.
As if welcoming their master's arrival, the whole world seemed to be humming softly, as if awaiting their choice.
A dazzling array of treasures shimmered across the sky, and countless precious artifacts surged forth like a vast ocean of stars— Qin Yu and Ling Liangyan stood side by side in the center of the sea of treasures, the wind carrying the ancient, resonant vibrations of the artifacts themselves.
Qin Yu took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping across this treasure realm like a knife.
"Elder Ling," he said softly, his voice filled with barely suppressed anticipation, "Let's begin. We've struggled through fourteen levels... wasn't this the moment we've all been waiting for?"
A light shone in Ling Liangyan's eyes, and the Void Emanation Realm · Ultimate flowed gently in her pupils. She nodded:
"Yes, you're right. We came here—for this moment."
The next instant, the two exchanged a glance—BOOM!!
Their figures simultaneously soared into the sky, transforming into two Ultimate of light that flew in different directions from the treasure realm.
Extinguished Light stood quietly in place, her illuminating star pupils slowly rising. Her shadow fell upon the treasure sea, and the thousands of treasures trembled slightly, as if sensing the presence of the "Master of Final Radiance," and dared not move.
Qin Yu · Southern Heaven Treasure Domain
Qin Yu traveled south, his feet on a vast continent formed from Chaos Origin Crystal. The surface resembled fragments of a starry river, its brilliance constantly refracting.
In the sky—treasures beyond chaos floated densely like a meteor shower, even forming "treasure storm belts."
Qin Yu stopped and looked around.
The brilliance of countless treasures was reflected in his eyes, like an endless cosmic sea.
A remarkably calm assessment surfaced in his mind. "Indeed incredibly powerful... but now that I've reached the Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme, this... is still not enough."
"However—they can be given to the people of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch."
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. "Take them all in."
The next instant— Qin Yu's brow twitched slightly.
The Annihilation Devil Pupil - Final Spirit Core - Quietly activated.
There was no light. No sound. No form. But the world... had changed.
First, a faint black glow seeped from the depths of the "Annihilation Devil Pupil" between Qin Yu's brows.
The black light spread like spider silk—then, in the next instant, it suddenly exploded into a "colorless, annihilating nebula vortex."
The entire Southern Heaven Treasure Domain was rumbling: Buzz
The light was swallowed up. The sound was silenced. The rules were frozen in time.
Then—vast amounts of treasure began to tremble.
The radiance of the Primordial Supreme Treasure trembled. The chaotic mist of the Chaos Treasure was forcibly drawn in.
An indescribable treasure that transcends chaos... actually loosened on its own, as if drawn by some absolutely superior being.
All the treasures felt the same fear:
They are not being collected. They are being absorbed by the "End."
Qin Yu raised his hand and gently tapped it. Boom!
All the treasures in the Southern Heaven Treasure Domain, regardless of size, level, or origin, seemed to have been destined for the same fate—
It was recorded and absorbed by the Annihilation Devil Pupil - Final Spirit Core.
The colossal Primordial Bell roared for thousands of miles, and the trillions of runes on its surface dimmed, being absorbed into a stream of light.
A chaotic treasure dragon bone, tens of millions of miles long, was extracted from the ground and spiraled towards Qin Yu's brow.
The ancient star ring floating in the sky was torn apart after resisting for three breaths, and even its core "weapon spirit fire seed" was absorbed.
Even a treasure mountain formed from the "Chaos Source Sea" in the distance, its entire treasure energy was swallowed up by the Final Spirit Core like a giant whale sucking water, causing the mountain to wither, crack, and dissipate rapidly.
At that moment—the entire Southern Heaven Treasure Domain was plunged into a heart-stopping feeling of weightlessness.
Treasures... are disappearing in the hundreds of millions.
Each item that disappeared transformed into an invisible stream of information, rushing into the Annihilation Devil Pupil between Qin Yu's brows.
Qin Yu remained calm, yet exuded an air of complete control. "These treasures may not allow me to break through and improve, but they can increase the overall combat power of everyone in the Annihilation Abyss Epoch by hundreds of times. I'll accept them all."
The Annihilation Devil Pupil spun around once more.
The number of treasures in the Southern Heaven Treasure Domain is visibly decreasing to zero.
Like the universe being swallowed up. Like civilization being ended. Like an era of treasures coming to a close...
A dozen or so breaths later, a rumbling sound...
The entire Southern Heaven Treasure Domain was a blank space.
No, it's not even "blank," but rather: even "the traces of the treasure's existence" have been erased.
Qin Yu slowly withdrew his gaze.
The Annihilation Devil Pupil between his brows gently closed, and the abyss of the Final Spirit Core slowly disappeared.
He whispered, "Alright. Now... it's time for my own true treasure."
At the edge of the Southern Heaven Treasure Domain, a strange radiance is slowly unfolding.
It was as if welcoming the only being capable of passing through the fourteen levels, the only one capable of bearing it— Qin Yu.
