The Three Divine Halls Halt the War, the Deep Root Is About to Open, and Asura Withdraws Its Troops

After Yun Qiusheng annihilated Qi Kun and the Chaos Realm · Supreme expert with a single strike, the entire arena fell into a terrifying silence.

The three thousand disciples of the Chaos First Palace knelt on the ground, where blood and light intertwined, trembling all over.

Yun Yanwan and Yun Yanxi, who were injured and lying on the ground, were lifted up by Yun Qiusheng's Light of Stainlessness with a casual wave of his hand.

Yun Qiusheng said in a deep voice, "Yanwan and Yanxi, immediately step back and heal your injuries."

"All disciples—reassemble the Heavenly Star Chaos Abyss Formation!" "Yes!! Ancestor!!"

Three thousand disciples instantly transformed into a golden torrent, rapidly forming an array. Order was restored to heaven and earth.

But Yun Qiusheng's brows furrowed even deeper.

That's a sign that only appears in the Stainless Realm: -- The world's cause and effect have not stabilized because of him.

On the contrary, an older, deeper force is approaching.

Yun Qiusheng looked up at the sea of clouds in the distance, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes.

Yun Qiusheng (in his mind): "... No. Qi Kun and that Chaos expert shouldn't have died so easily."

The true power of the Asura Divine Hall goes far beyond these..."

Just then—BOOM!

The sky looked as if it had been torn apart by some giant beast.

In the depths of the distant sky, a vast, pitch-black sea of mist, larger than any star, suddenly appeared.

That fog was not smoke, not vapor, not demon.

It's like the existence formed by burning countless worlds' "death records" to ashes and pouring them into the void.

The next instant—a frail, chilling, soul-rending voice echoed from within the black mist, "Yun Qiusheng... you really are here." "This old man... has been waiting for you for a long time."

The entire Chaos First Palace mountain region fell silent instantly. The wind stopped. The light went out.

The three thousand disciples behind Yun Qiusheng were so shocked by that sound that their heart meridians cracked, and they almost knelt down.

Yun Qiusheng's gaze turned cold. "They've arrived..." Black mist churned, and five figures slowly emerged.

With each step—the air, like the skin of the earth, was crushed, twisted, and cracked underfoot. And behind the dark figure was a densely packed army of the Asura Divine Hall.

Then -- First person: He Xunsu, Lord of the Asura Divine Hall

Realm: Chaos Realm - Supreme

He was clad in black blood armor, each plate etched with a torn soul.

His eyes were like abysses; with a single opening and closing, they could split the void in two.

His aura--

It wasn't like a powerful being, but rather like an entire universe's "apocalyptic chapters" piled together.

His voice was deep and resonant, like the roar of an iron prison, "Yun Qiusheng, ten thousand years ago, you and I fought a battle to a draw."

Today—it's time for a resolution.

Second person: Li Xiaohong, Deputy Hall Master of the Asura Divine Hall, Realm: Middle Stage of the Chaos Realm

It was as tall as a wall supporting the sky, with broken black bone wings trailing behind its shoulders.

Each bone spur exudes the decaying aura of the "Chaotic Sea of Bones".

His face was covered by half a skull mask, and his remaining eye burned with blood-red lightning.

He angrily pointed at Yun Qiusheng: "Today, everyone in your Chaos First Palace will accompany that old waste, Yuhuang, on his final journey!"

Third person: Zhongli Jun, Grand Elder of the Asura Divine Hall

Realm: Silent Mystery Realm -Supreme. His entire body was wrapped in black scriptures, which were not patterns.

Instead, the cursed scriptures came to life.

With each step he took, "Black Abyss patterns," inexplicably formed from death, appeared beneath his feet.

His face was pale, his body emaciated, but his eyes were extremely cold. "Yun Qiusheng, you killed my Elder Qi Kun, this grudge—"

Today, we will pay with the blood of the entire palace.

Fourth person: Third Elder of the Asura Divine Hall, Ping Koucen, Realm: Silent Mystery Realm, Supreme

He was covered in black chains, each link of which was entangled with the screams of countless undead.

His face was as black as a raven, and a cold smile always lingered on his lips.

His voice was gloomy. "Heh... Yun Qiusheng, your 'Stainless Final Wheel' technique is indeed remarkable."

However, you may not be able to save this dilapidated palace today.

Fifth person: Qu Xiangjie, the patriarch of the Asura Divine Hall

Realm: Stainless Realm, Intermediate Stage, Deepest Part of the Black Mist.

A figure slowly emerged from nothingness.

It wasn't like he stepped out, but rather like the world was being peeled away in reverse, dragging him out of "nothingness".

He wore a jet-black ancient robe, his body was hunched, and his face was like a withered ancient tree.

But with each blink, it's as if the light source of the entire world is extinguished and then lit again.

He looked up at Yun Qiusheng. Those eyes—they weren't eyes.

They are two unfathomable "Stainless black holes".

He spoke, "Yun Qiusheng..." "I've come to take your life, a life unworthy of your existence."

In an instant— in the Chaos First Palace Mountain Region, all sounds of the world were completely extracted.

Only two forces remained clashing in the world: Stainless versus Stainless.

The heavens and earth had just been plunged into absolute darkness by the auras of the five powerful figures from the Asura Divine Hall.

The three thousand disciples of the Chaos First Palace trembled, even their breathing became difficult. Just then—

Boom!!! Yun Qiusheng took a step forward and waved his sleeve.

The power of the Stainless Realm, mid-stage, was like a Primordial sun shining brightly in the sky. He actually managed to smooth out the oppressive force released by the five powerful figures of the Asura Divine Hall until it was invisible.

A roar that shook the heavens, "Qu Xiangjie! I knew you wouldn't not come!"

His voice, carrying the majesty of the Stainless Realm, thundered deep into the heavens and earth. "Today, I, the Chaos First Palace— "

Even if I die in battle, I will never retreat a single step!

The sea of clouds trembled, and three thousand disciples roared in response, "Fight!!!"

On the other side, the five people in the black mist chuckled.

Qu Xiangjie (Ancestor of the Asura Divine Hall, Stainless Realm · Middle Stage) raised his head, his face full of mockery:

"Hahaha-- Yun Qiusheng, you really are as foolish as ever."

"You have backbone? Very well." "But today... is the day of your death Chaos First Palace."

After saying that, he looked at the Temple Master and elders of the Asura Divine Hall beside him, his face full of cold cruelty.

"Death date? Perhaps it's too early to say— Qu Xiangjie." Suddenly, a deafening voice echoed from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the purple-gold sky cracked open.

It was neither an ordinary thundercloud nor an ordinary phenomenon.

Rather, it was a sign of the descent of one of the most prestigious temples in the Void Obliteration Domain.

Suddenly, the world brightened! Purple-gold lightning poured down from the sky, tearing the clouds in two like a curtain of the world being ripped apart.

From within the purple-gold crack, the ancient sound of a bell echoed. Dong! Dong! Dong!

Each sound made the hearts of everyone in the Asura Divine Hall pound and their souls tremble.

Qu Xiangjie's face changed instantly! "Impossible... how could they be here?!"

All the disciples of the Chaos First Palace looked up in astonishment. "That's... the Purple-Gold Divine Mark!!!"

Yun Qiusheng took a deep breath, a profound shock flashing in his eyes for the first time: "It's them—"

"It's the First Divine Hall... the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall!!!"

Ten figures in purple and gold stepped out of the clouds. Like gods born from eternity, they stood on purple and gold heavenly steps and were draped in Formless radiance.

Behind them stand—millions of Void Stillness Walkers!!

Using the entire sky as a battleground, like Sea of Sound covering the firmament, the world came to a complete standstill.

The leader slowly stepped out, standing atop the sea of lightning, his gaze as cold as the end of an annihilating universe.

His every step caused time to tremble, cause and effect to distort, and the sea of clouds to automatically part.

The purple-gold lightning struck his shoulder, but it was naturally dissipated by his body.

He was tall and thin, with white hair like a waterfall, and his eyes were like Stainless, ethereal light that pierced through all worlds.

He wore the "Silent Void Emblem" on his chest: a badge symbolizing silence, Formless, and Ultimate annihilation.

Yun Qiusheng bowed deeply. "Lord Feng Xizhi, Master of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall!" The heavens and earth trembled!

All the disciples of the Chaos First Palace looked up at the sky. "The Silent Nothingness Divine Hall!!!"

Feng Xizhi merely raised her eyes and calmly said, "Yun Qiusheng, I, the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, have come to fulfill a promise you made thirty thousand years ago."

Following him descended nine elders of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall Chaos Realm · Supreme!

The appearance of each one is like the arrival of an Ultimate tribulation.

A purple-gold light spread from beneath their feet, illuminating the entire Chaos Heavenly Domain.

Qu Xiangjie's face turned deathly pale. "... Are you all insane?! Your Silent Nothingness Divine Hall... you actually interfered too?!"

Feng Xizhi's gaze was indifferent, yet it seemed to judge the universe: "The Asura Divine Hall has overstepped its bounds—" "My Silent Nothingness Divine Hall shall cleanse it."

As the words fell, a million Void Stillness Walkers all looked up.

At that moment—the entire sky... seemed about to be completely torn apart by their silent pressure...

The sky was still roaring, and the Purple Gold Thunder Waterfall hung like an inverted Milky Way.

The oppressive aura emanating from the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall caused the entire sea of clouds within the Chaos First Palace to bend slightly, as if bowing to the heavens.

Yun Qiusheng's eyes gleamed with excitement. He leaped forward and bowed deeply, saying, "I am deeply grateful for the presence of Palace Master Feng."

Despite Stainless Realm · Middle Stage, he was now behaving with the utmost respect, like a junior.

Feng Xizhi stood with his hands behind his back, his figure as solemn as a projection of the Heavenly Dao, amidst the sea of purple-gold lightning. His expression remained unchanged, yet his voice was like the first chime of a bell after all things Annihilation:

"Elder Yun, there's no need for such formalities." "I, Feng, have never forgotten the promise made thirty thousand years ago."

The wind stopped, the thunder ceased. Feng Xizhi's gaze swept slightly towards the distant Asura Divine Hall army, his voice as steady as the ancient chaos:

"The Asura Divine Hall Nine Alliances Gang, disrupting the order of the Void Obliteration Domain, slaughtering thousands of temples, and looting countless treasures."

"Today, the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall has made its move, and it's not just for the Chaos First Palace— "

"Moreover, it is acting on behalf of Heaven... to uphold justice." Upon hearing this, the purple-gold sky trembled.

Within the Asura Divine Hall camp, Qu Xiangjie's eyelids twitched violently twice, his face turning grim. His eyes trembled uncontrollably as he stared intently at Feng Xizhi:

"I never expected... I never expected this..." "Even your Silent Nothingness Divine Hall... has come."

The tone was no longer playful, but genuinely apprehensive.

Feng Xizhi turned her head slightly, scrutinizing him with a detached gaze that seemed to have seen through countless eras:

"Qu Xiangjie." "Could it be that in your heart—"

"Does the Void Obliteration Domain only allow your Asura Divine Hall to do as it pleases?"

"Rob the weak, destroy sects, plunder treasures, kill foreign invaders--"

"You've ruined the Void Obliteration Domain all these years, do you really think I don't know?"

Amidst the lightning and thunder, his eyes gleamed like the sharp light of dawn. "It's been too long since anyone's taken care of you."

Qu Xiangjie gritted his teeth, his face contorted for a moment, and lowered his voice:

"Feng Xizhi... Don't think that your Silent Nothingness Divine Hall can control everything in this Void Obliteration Domain."

The sound waves carried the might of the Stainless Realm, causing the distant sea of clouds to churn.

But Feng Xizhi merely smiled faintly, a smile devoid of mockery, only an indifferent gaze overlooking all realms. "Covering the Sky?"

He looked up as the purple-gold sky slowly closed in. "If I truly wish to cover the heavens—"

The Purple-Gold Thunder Waterfall flows backward, and millions of Void Stillness Walkers look up in unison.

The entire world seemed frozen by his voice. "Your Asura Divine Hall... how could you have survived until today?"

In an instant, countless disciples of the Asura Divine Hall trembled, sweat poured down their backs, and even the hands gripping their weapons shook.

Qu Xiangjie's face turned pale and then ashen, and his gaze finally became extremely solemn.

Two Stainless Realm Ultimate confrontation. The winds of the Void Obliteration Domain... began to blow backward. It was as if "two lines of fate" had been drawn across the heavens and earth.

Amidst the roar of purple-gold thunder.

Feng Xizhi and Yun Qiusheng stood side by side, their imposing presence like pillars of heaven; while opposite them, the five powerful figures of the Asura Divine Hall formed an overwhelming array, but all their confidence was shattered the moment the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall descended.

All eyes were focused on the confrontation between the Immaculate Realm and the Stainless Realm.

A thin, black thread of divine consciousness quietly unfolded deep within the Asura Divine Hall's camp.

He Xunsu, Lord of the Asura Divine Hall (Void Emanation Realm · Supreme, clad in a blood-red cloak, with cold, sinister eyes).

A deep, resonant voice echoed in his heart, "Ancestor, today's situation... is unfavorable to my Asura."

Qu Xiangjie's brows twitched slightly, his expression as calm as a still well. He Xunsu continued to transmit his voice, his words as steady as a strategist assessing the overall situation:

"The Silent Nothingness Divine Hall has come in person today, and it is Feng Xizhi himself... This is no small matter."

"Our primary purpose in coming here is to find the young man at the Severed Observation Realm that the Nine Alliances Gang mentioned."

His tone grew increasingly subdued. "That youth was able to destroy Yuhuang, seize the sacred treasure, break through the Ninefold Narrative Heavenly Prison, and his origins are unknown... This child must possess a heaven-defying secret."

"It might even involve upper-level taboos."

The black divine sense trembled slightly: "But he is not here." "Since the target is not here... there's no need to fight the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall and the Chaos First Palace head-on."

A chilling glint flashed in Qu Xiangjie's eyes.

He Xunsu continued to lower his spiritual sense, "Ancestor, if we were to fight today—"

"We and the Chaos First Palace will inevitably suffer heavy losses." "The Silent Nothingness Divine Hall will reap the benefits." "Moreover..."

"One month later, the Deep Root Lower Layers of the Southern Region were activated."

These words made Qu Xiangjie's pupils shrink sharply.

He Xunsu's voice was deep and resonant. "Once the Deep Root Lower Layers are opened, the true ancient foundation of the Void Obliteration Domain will be reshuffled. Legend has it that the Deep Root Lower Layers have about nine hundred and ninety layers. At that time, we only need to Annihilation the people of the Chaos First Palace on any one layer, and this will be the best assassination for us."

"Besides my Asura Divine Hall, the only ones worth competing for are—" "The Second Temple, the Fallen Dawn Divine Hall." "The Fifth Temple, the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall."

"If we engage in a major battle now and suffer excessive losses, the Deep Root Lower Layers will inevitably be swallowed up by these two palaces."

Qu Xiangjie responded in a low voice, "... Continue."

He Xunsu's expression turned cold. "Therefore, if we fight to the death today, we will only suffer defeat for both sides."

"Given the fact that this will be revealed at the Deep Root Lower Layers, the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall would never want to suffer a major blow at this moment."

At that moment, Qu Xiangjie's consciousness trembled slightly, clearly struck by He Xunsu's analysis.

He raised his head, his expression no longer arrogant as before, but instead calm and composed as an ancestor-level expert.

Qu Xiangjie officially speaks out: Shift from offense to defense; retreat first.

The wind stopped. The sea of clouds froze. All the disciples of the Chaos First Palace stared intently.

Qu Xiangjie suddenly let out a low laugh, "Feng Xizhi. We are both pillars of the Void Obliteration Domain. If the Three Palaces truly fight a bloody battle here today—"

"It's a loss for the Void Obliteration Domain." Feng Xizhi's expression remained unchanged.

Qu Xiangjie continued, speaking very slowly, yet every word struck like thunder:

"Moreover..." "The Southern Region, Deep Root Lower Layers, will open in a month."

At that moment, all the elders' expressions changed drastically.

Qu Xiangjie's voice was extremely low, yet it shook the entire Void Obliteration Domain's sea of clouds.

"At that time, only the Fallen Dawn Divine Hall and the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall will be qualified to enter."

"If my Asura Divine Hall and the Chaos First Palace, and your Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, were to fight here until rivers of blood flowed..."

He raised his head, his eyes flashing with a sharp edge that seemed to cleave through the ages:

"That would be tantamount to handing over all the opportunities that Deep Root Lower Layers to others."

Purple-gold lightning danced on his face. "Regarding Feng Xizhi and Qi Kun, my Asura Divine Hall will not pursue the matter for the time being. I will also not bother the Chaos First Palace again."

"We, the three palaces, shall cease our conflict here." "One month later—"

His voice suddenly rose, like a battle bell shattering the heavens. "Deep Root Lower Layers, then the true test! Is it feasible?"

The thunderous sea in the sky was still roaring, and the undercurrent of divine sense between the three powerful figures was sharper than the sword light on the battlefield.

Just as Qu Xiangjie uttered "See you at the Deep Root Lower Layers," all the disciples of the Chaos First Palace were shocked.

At this moment, Vice Hall Master Yun Yanxi had already quietly transmitted her voice to Yun Qiusheng:

"Great-grandfather... he was right." "A month from now will indeed be the day the Deep Root Lower Layers begin to grow."

Yun Qiusheng's aged yet sharp eyes narrowed slightly. It was a forbidden zone that even the "most ancient being in the Void Obliteration Domain" had to tread carefully.

It's not a place you can just walk into any hall you want.

Yun Yanxi continued to transmit her voice, her tone unusually heavy. "Given our current losses... if we were to fight again today..."

"We, the Chaos First Palace, are absolutely unqualified to set foot in the Deep Root Lower Layers."

Yun Qiusheng did not respond; he was weighing his options.

This is not a matter of pride for the strong, but a matter of planning for the future of a temple for the next five thousand years, or even a million years.

A moment later, he raised his eyes and looked at Feng Xizhi.

The silent divine sense struck the other's sea of consciousness like a thunderbolt.

Yun Qiusheng transmitted his voice, deep and resonant like an ancient bell. "Lord Feng Xizhi, the Deep Root Lower Layers will be opened in one month. This is absolutely certain."

"If our three palaces were to fight to the death today, each of us would suffer heavy losses... and the ultimate beneficiaries would undoubtedly be the Fallen Dawn Divine Hall and the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall."

Feng Xizhi stood Ji Ran, her robes billowing like smoke. After a moment of contemplation, she nodded gently.

Feng Xizhi transmitted her voice, clear and cold as a snow blade. "I understand. If war breaks out today, although we can kill Qu Xiangjie, the price will be too high."

"The key to determining the ownership of the entire Void Obliteration Domain lies Deep Root Lower Layers..."

Yun Qiusheng added, "Furthermore—regarding Qi Kun's death, we must prioritize the overall situation."

Feng Xizhi slowly raised her eyes and looked at Qu Xiangjie and his group of powerful figures from the Asura Divine Hall.

That one glance was enough to make even Chaos Realm expert's hair stand on end.

Then, she finally spoke—her voice was soft, yet it silenced the heavens and earth:

Feng Xizhi raised her hand and calmly said, "Qu Xiangjie, if you can temporarily withdraw for the sake of the greater good of Annihilation Void— " "Then leave."

"A month later, the true test will be revealed at the Deep Root Lower Layers."

The auras of all the powerful figures in the Asura Divine Hall suddenly trembled!

A deep, ruthless glint flashed in Qu Xiangjie's eyes, but even more so, it was the ease of a successful scheme.

He threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha-- Feng Xizhi! You're the one who understands right from wrong!"

"Since that's the case, today's battle ends here." "You Chaos First Palace... return to the Deep Root Lower Layers a month later to face my Asura challenge."

He waved his sleeve. The 100,000 disciples of the Asura Divine Hall retreated like a tide, and the dark sea of mist surged and rolled across the sky.

However—just as he turned around.

Qu Xiangjie's lips curled into a sinister smile, revealing a ruthlessness that no outsider could detect:

(Transmitted in a hoarse, raven-like voice) "He Xunsu."

He Xunsu immediately responded, "Ancestor."

Qu Xiangjie transmitted his voice in a low voice. "Secretly send Shadow Soul Guards to monitor the Chaos First Palace."

"The moment that 'Youth of the Severed Observation Realm' appears—" "Report to me immediately. Capture him at any cost."

He Xunsu narrowed. "This junior understands."

The next moment, their figures completely disappeared into the horizon of the sea of clouds. Only the burning sky remained, and the wind seemed to be weeping for the battle to come.
