Jiwu's Single Silence Strips Away Possibility
The million Void Stillness Walkers of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall stood deep within the sea of clouds, like a silent tide of stars. Feng Xizhi's gaze was calm; with a flick of his sleeve, billions of shimmering rays of light fell like rain, instantly restoring the sky to its former clarity. He bowed slightly to Yun Qiusheng, his voice quiet yet steady—
"Ancestor Yun, the promise made thirty thousand years ago has been fulfilled today. After this battle, the Void Obliteration Domain may never have peace again. Be careful."
Yun Qiusheng returned the greeting, his gaze heavy yet sincere. "Without Palace Master Feng today, my Chaos First Palace would likely be doomed. If you ever need me in the future, please do not hesitate to call upon me."
Feng Xizhi nodded without saying anything more. He turned around and flicked his sleeve—whoosh!
The million Void Stillness Walkers simultaneously transformed into blue-white ghostly light, swirling back like a receding Milky Way, and converging behind the ten elders of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall.
The next instant, the entire vast army vanished as if "pulled out of reality," and the world suddenly became empty, leaving only a lingering echo in the wind.
Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, Exit. Chaos First Palace - Aftermath
The tattered sea of clouds still carried the lingering effects of the great battle.
The three thousand disciples of the Chaos First Palace were scattered among the floating halls, each sitting cross-legged to heal their injuries; the golden sky curtain was slowly repaired, and the flowing light on the Pillar of Return to the Abyss shone brightly again.
Yun Yanxi personally directed the wounded to recover. "Disciples of the Eastern Hall, stabilize your souls! Disciples of the Southern Dipper Floating Platform, retreat into the Healing Spirit Array! Use the Silent Void Pill to stabilize your meridians!"
Yun Qiusheng stood atop the main hall, his gaze as deep and unwavering as an ancient tree. "This battle, though won, is not the end... The Asura Divine Hall will never let this go."
Elder Liu Xu and his party from the Distant Blood Blade Hall
On the other side of the sky, Liu Xu and his men, who had just wiped out the Blood Blade Hall, were cleaning up the battlefield.
Blood Blade Hall was reduced to ruins, and the earth cracked for miles around.
A disciple of the Chaos First Palace suddenly flew over, his face deathly pale. "Elder Liu!! Something terrible has happened— the Asura Divine Hall... the Asura Divine Hall is besieging the main palace!!"
Liu Xu's expression changed drastically in an instant. "What!?"
Another elder angrily exclaimed, "We've been tricked! They've used a feint to lure us away! We've been outsmarted!"
Liu Xu looked up at the sky, his eyes burning with scorching fire. "All disciples, listen to my command! Assemble immediately!"
"Yes!!!" Boom!!!
Tens of thousands of disciples of the Chaos First Palace transformed into beams of annihilating light, tearing through the reversed spacetime layer in the sky, and rushed towards the Chaos First Palace together.
Liu Xu's heart burned with anxiety. "Palace Master, Ancestor... you must hold on!!"
He forcibly tore the sky into countless layers. A few breaths later, the entire team, filled with fighting spirit and fury, charged towards the golden sky.
The golden canopy had long been torn apart by the great battle, and the remaining annihilation light drifted in the air like shattered stardust. Above the main hall of the Chaos First Palace, the light of the Pillar of Return to the Abyss was still trembling, as if it had just slowly stabilized from the storm of World Extinguisher.
Liu Xu led tens of thousands of disciples through the air, their flight creating a platinum crack in the sky.
"The Chaos First Palace! We're back!!" Boom--!
The moment the group landed in the center of the sea of clouds, they were completely stunned.
Before them lay a battlefield scene they had never witnessed before.
The scene after the great battle in the Chaos First Palace: the entire suspended cloud domain looked as if it had been crushed by the giant palm of the Heavenly Dao.
Of the ninety-nine floating palaces, three were split in two, their fragments floating in the void;
The Spirit Vine Star Flower outside the hall had almost all dimmed, and the rain of petals had turned into dust without light.
The vast sea of clouds was burned transparent by the energy of annihilation, as if its colors had been drained away;
A hundred miles away, the spatial rifts torn by the Chaos Realm experts still remain, like unhealed wounds.
The lingering echoes of the tens of thousands of disciples of the Asura Divine Hall, Annihilation by their destruction, still echoed in the void—a silence so profound that even light refused to touch it.
Liu Xu, the Fourth Elder, and all the disciples trembled at that moment. "The Chaos First Palace... has actually suffered such a great battle..."
Liu Xu hurriedly led the four elders towards the main hall.
Yun Yanwan and Yun Yanxi stood before the Pillar of Return to the Abyss, their bodies still bearing the scars of the great battle, their robes torn, yet exuding a sharp and imposing aura.
Liu Xu knelt on the ground, his voice heavy with remorse and self-reproach. "Your Highness! Your subordinate... arrived too late, I deserve to die!"
Yun Yanwan raised her hand, and a gentle yet powerful force, calming mountains and seas, supported Liu Xu, allowing him to stand up.
"Xu, don't blame yourself. This time, the Asura Divine Hall has a double scheme— the Blood Blade Hall was used as bait to lure you away, and then they planned to besiege me."
His gaze drifted into the distance, his eyes filled with anger and relief. "However... the Ancestor has Annihilation all the enemies, and the Asura Divine Hall has also retreated."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xu's eyes widened in shock: "The Ancestor has emerged from seclusion?" "Yes," Yun Yanwan nodded, "And... he's gone into seclusion again."
Liu Xu took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said firmly, "Palace Master, we are back. Please give the order. Whether it's rebuilding the temple or searching for the remaining rebels, I will do my utmost."
Yun Yanwan revealed a tired yet gratified smile, "Perfect timing, you've returned just in time. Next up is—reconstructing the Chaos First Palace."
Yun Yanwan raised her hand, and an ancient "Chaos Return to the Source Seal" rose from her palm.
The annihilation of the heavens trembled upon the appearance of this seal. "Disciples of the Chaos First Palace —hear my command!"
His voice pierced through the entire cloud realm, resounding throughout the ninety-nine floating palaces. "With me as your heart, and the Return to the Abyss as your veins—rebuild the temple."
Boom!!!!!!
The Pillar of Return to the Abyss erupted with billions of golden divine runes, as if the sky had been reborn by being poured in reverse.
A breathtaking scene then unfolded:
The collapsed floating palace slowly rose into the air, its fragments reassembling against the flow of time;
The shattered sea of clouds condensed into liquid light, then transformed into platinum cloud waves;
All the obliterated runes, arrays, and carvings were replicated in the light;
The Spirit Vine Star Flower bloom again, and the rain of petals falls like starlight against the current;
The cracks in the main hall closed up, and the Chaos Sacred Gold on the roof began to shine again.
Liu Xu and all his disciples were utterly shocked. "This... this is the power of the temple's origin, the power of the Hall Master and the Pillar of Return to the Abyss!"
Yun Yanxi stood in the void, raised her jade hand, and delicate patterns of orderly light fell upon her disciple:
"All severely injured disciples, use the order of the temple as a guide to stabilize your Dao foundation and restore your soul!"
The disciples sat cross-legged, bathed in the golden light, and felt the damaged meridians within their bodies being repaired by the light of order.
At this moment, Yun Qiusheng's voice came from the depths of the main hall. Although he did not appear, his power was overwhelming.
"The Chaos First Palace —reconstruction complete. Exercise caution in all matters. The Asura Divine Hall... will not let this go."
Looking at the rebuilt temple, Yun Yanwan seemed to see the glory of the Chaos First Palace from 30,000 years ago.
Yun Yanwan's gaze was far-reaching. "Next... we need to prepare for the 'Deep Root Lower Layers' operation a month from now."
The entire floating palace shone with golden light once more. The Chaos First Palace was completely reborn from the ruins.
The wind in the Void Obliteration Domain is neither the flow of air nor the vibration of energy, but a kind of "tidal breath of an invisible sea". When Qin Yu and Ling Liangyan stepped out of the Nebula Gate, the world before their eyes suddenly transformed into a bizarre scene that defied physics, causality and logic.
--At this moment, they are standing before you ( in the Void Obliteration Domain, a different place). Void Obliteration Domain, Border of the Returning Return to the Abyss Desert
Above the sky, there was neither blue sky nor stars, but a huge void rift hanging upside down like a thousand-foot abyss. Inside the rift, a mixture of gold, purple, and black light shone through, like a deep wound in the universe that had never healed.
The earth is covered with grayish-white layers of broken rock, from which wisps of dust, like smoke, constantly seep out, pulsating with ancient symbols, as if the earth is talking to itself in a lost language.
In the distance is a cascading waterfall—the water flows against the current toward the sky, turning into golden foam in mid-air before being swallowed up by the void.
Further away, the gray mountains hung upside down in mid-air, their roots entwined with a faint annihilation storm, like a slumbering behemoth.
Three thousand miles of desolate wilderness, windless, yet everywhere it felt as if the wind was blowing; silent, yet constantly echoing with hollow sounds. This is—the true outer wilderness of the Void Obliteration Domain.
Qin Yu and Ling Liangyan descended slowly, their sleeves fluttering gently in the still air, making them appear like celestial beings in light and shadow, illuminated by the dust.
Ling Liangyan gazed at the vast, desolate wilderness stretching endlessly before her, her heart surging with emotion. She then turned to Qin Yu, her beautiful eyes filled with sincerity:
"Thanks to you this time, Young Master Qin."
Her tone was unusually gentle and sincere.
"Without your help, I would never have been able to break through the fourteen seals so easily, let alone advance my cultivation to the Void Emanation Realm... Moreover, those sacred treasures and immortal treasures... the gains were truly immense."
The sunlight fell softly on the side of her face, reflecting a radiance even more gentle than usual.
She bowed deeply—"Thank you so much... from the bottom of my heart."
Qin Yu responded with a smile, gently raising Qin Yu hand to support her bow.
"Elder Ling, you're too kind. If you hadn't accompanied me all the way, I wouldn't have been able to discover that secret realm... We've both achieved something together."
His voice, echoing through the dust, sounded remarkably calm yet powerful in the empty space.
The two looked at each other, and in each other's eyes they saw a life-or-death trust that had transcended fourteen layers of calamity.
Ling Liangyan: It's time to go back.
She gazed at the golden, inverted waterfall of light on the horizon and breathed softly:
"We've been out for almost three months now... The temple lords have probably been searching for us for a long time. We... it's time to go back."
⸻
Qin Yu shook his head. "Elder Ling."
He withdrew his gaze and said solemnly to her, "I have some... personal matters that I must attend to."
Therefore, I will not return to the Chaos First Palace with you at this time.
Ling Liangyan was taken aback. "What are you going to do?"
Qin Yu looked into the depths of the distant Void Obliteration Domain, where the light resembled a swallowed abyss:
"I want to confirm some clues... involving some hidden cause and effect in my life."
After I finish this, I will immediately return to the Chaos First Palace to reunite with you.
Ling Liangyan nodded gently.
At this moment, her gaze was no longer that of the calm and restrained person she had at their first meeting, but rather carried an... unconcealable concern.
"Good."
She took a step closer and whispered a reminder:
"Then you... must be careful. The Void Obliteration Domain is already very chaotic."
In the next instant, she leaped into the air, leaving behind a soft, moonlit trail, and sped towards the distant sky leading to the Chaos First Palace.
Qin Yu watched her figure disappear into the depths of the golden cracks before withdrawing his gaze and vanishing into the void...
The moment Qin Yu vanished into the void, the world beneath his feet suddenly collapsed into a silent hue. His figure pierced through hundreds of dimensional rifts, and the next second he arrived in an ancient ruin space whose age could not be traced back.
It was a profound and ancient realm, like the "ruins of the gods":
The sky hung upside down overhead, a broken dome of grayish-gold;
The colossal stone pillar is half-buried in the abyss, its shaft engraved with ancient, lost script.
The ground was covered with cracked patterns of light and shadow, like the death marks of stars etched into the stone slabs;
Silent fragments of ash floated in the air, each one like a forgotten memory.
In the heart of these ruins, a solitary pavilion stands silently on the edge of the void.
The pavilion pillars are weathered, and ancient wind chimes hang from the eaves, yet they never make a sound.
It was as if even the concept of "sound" had been annihilated here. Qin Yu sat cross-legged in the pavilion.
The stone platform beneath my feet is like the last fragment of the universe that has not yet fallen, suspended silently in mid-air.
Both Azure Ring and Extinguished Light returned to the depths of Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, remaining silent and undisturbed as he cultivated alone.
The surrounding ash and ancient light slowly swirled around him, forming a faint Dawn Wheel.
The True Form Technique of the Annihilation Dawn Realm - "Jiwu's Single Silence" - Initial Movement
The moment Qin Yu closed his eyes, the entire ruins seemed to be frozen in time by some invisible rule.
There was no wind, no sound, no light. Even the sense of time seemed to stand still.
The ashes floating outside the pavilion suddenly froze in mid-air, like dust sealed inside a lens.
The next instant—the world began to collapse inward.
It's not about being attracted, but rather "having one's existence taken away."
The patterns on the stone pillars began to disappear; the cracks in the dome were smoothed out; the color of the air was erased.
Even the word "ruins" has been quietly faded away.
The entire space gradually turned into a blank. Not nothingness, not darkness, but—
A pure void that even the concept of "nothingness" cannot describe. Like a page of the world torn out.
Qin Yu's Sea of Consciousness: Annihilation Dawn Realm True Form Skill Awakening
Within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, countless "fragments of existence" were being stripped away.
His inner vision revealed: fragments of a galaxy appeared, only to be instantly silenced;
The line of fate trembled slightly, then vanished into a blank space that had never existed.
Logic, causality, narrative, destiny, Tao...
Everything was constantly being deleted, denied, rewritten, and then deleted again by the rules of the Annihilation Dawn Realm.
His consciousness seemed to have been thrown into a giant "No Definition" engine, each thought a flash of light being erased.
However, Qin Yu was not dispersed; instead, he gradually came to understand the "underlying rules" behind it all.
He finally understood—the true nature of the Annihilation Dawn Realm was not power, but "the denial of the boundaries of concepts."
As he slowly raised his hand—his fingertips shone without light or breath—the entire ruin instantly collapsed into a "perceptual void."
He comprehended the true nature of the Annihilation Dawn Realm. —Jiwu's Single Silence
Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes. There was no light or shadow in his eyes, only a depth that "no description could touch".
He casually pointed to a broken stone slab in front of the pavilion and thought for a moment:
The stone slab disappeared. It wasn't broken, annihilated, or evaporated.
Even the fact that "it once existed" has disappeared at the same time.
Even the wind chimes in the pavilion no longer retain any memory of "the stone slabs once existed".
This is the most terrifying power of the Annihilation Dawn Realm: it's not about annihilation, but about preventing you from being spoken of.
The ruins outside the pavilion were affected by this, and large areas of "narrative voids" began to appear, as if the world was missing a piece.
But Qin Yu simply waved his sleeve, and the Silence of Annihilation Dawn automatically receded, and all things returned to their original positions.
It was as if nothing had happened. As if the stone slab Does Not Exist. As if he had never used any power.
Jiwu's Single Silence – leaving no trace.
Qin Yu let out a soft breath, "The Annihilation Dawn Realm... I've finally truly mastered and comprehended it."
Ashes drifted again outside the pavilion, and the world returned to order.
He stood up, his robes fluttering slightly, and his aura was like that of a true ancient Annihilation Lord, formless, traceless, causeless, and effectless.
At this moment, although his cultivation level was at the Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme, the completion of his true form gave him the confidence to face the Chaos Realm.
He looked down into the vast, empty abyss. "The next step... is to find the cause and effect hidden within the Void Obliteration Domain."
The wind chimes remained silent. The ashes remained still. Yet the ruins had quietly recorded a fact: --Qin Yu had stepped into the true realm of non-logic.
