A Last-Stand Battle Against Otherworldly Beings

Within the Nameless Primal Ash Illusory Realm, four members of the "Extinction Order Celestial Race" from beyond the realm stood silently in all directions.

As Qin Yu's toes touched the ground, the world of ashes seemed to be awakened by an invisible drumbeat.

The first to take a step was the Chiyi - Ashen Ring Adjudicator.

The Crimson Flame Ring behind him suddenly lit up, and billions of World Extinguisher characters exploded like a galaxy, swirling into a fiery dome.

Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. Extinguished Light said in a low voice, "Qin Yu, his existence structure... doesn't seem to be that of a being from the Source of Epochless."

Qin Yu nodded slightly. In that instant—

The Chiyi suddenly changed from stillness to extreme motion.

They didn't rush in, nor did they disappear; rather, they appeared simultaneously from all directions around Qin Yu.

It was as if he were not a living being, but a projection array of a world-destroying will.

Chiyi raised the ash sword in his hand. In that instant, the void was cleaved open like a bolt of cloth.

Billions of crimson chains flew out from the Judgment Ring, entwining the void and turning the entire world into a fiery judgment seat.

With each falling chain of runes, a section of space collapsed into ashes.

Qin Yu's robes billowed in the wind, his eyes calm as a mirror. Qin Yu raised his hand: the Silent Origin Stainless Sword appeared.

The sword's blade moved like a silent light, and its strike caused the very edge of the world to tremble.

Boom!!!! The moment Chiyi swung his sword down, the earth exploded from both sides, ash mountains and seas rolled back, and time shattered like glass, splintering into fragments of light.

Qin Yu's right arm went numb instantly from the impact, but he didn't move.

He whispered, "Come."

Qin Yu's sword trembled. The sky turned black and white upside down, the music was distorted and broken, and a black and gold sword mark of "Causeless Illusory Destruction" shot from the ground to the heavens.

Every inch of the sword mark shattered the world's "causal lines" into meaningless fragments.

Chiyi's figure was struck by the sword -- Boom!!! The explosion's light swept across the ash continent, spanning millions of meters.

But Chiyi did not regress. His ash body, which had been shattered, simply regenerated on the spot, as if civilization had been forced to revive after its death.

Chiyi spoke for the first time: the voice was not a voice, but "the tolling of the clock for the end of the world—forcibly compressed into a single sentence."

"The trial—continue." Qin Yu's eyes sharpened.

Chiyi raised his longsword high. The Judgment Ring behind him spun wildly, as if to drag the entire illusionary world into an apocalyptic furnace.

The next instant—the Judgment Ring burst forth with crimson, infernal cracks that descended from the sky like endless pillars of mortal destruction.

Each pillar can annihilate the origin of Void Emanation Realm · Initial Stage.

Qin Yu looked up at the destructive wave that resembled a star exploding and whispered, "Extinguished Light, retreat."

Extinguished Light nodded, retreated from the battle, and his body surged with annihilating light, ready to provide support at any time.

With a single Chiyi wing, the entire world was compressed into a flat plane!

It was the suppression of the Annihilation Order's domain. Qin Yu's body was instantly crushed, his flesh trembling, and golden cracks began to appear on his bones.

But a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Qin Yu raised his palm. Six black-gold patterns burst forth from his palm, like six "written judgments denying the world."

Each mark corresponds to the removal of a primitive structure of the world.

The Six Severances Seal slammed down towards Chiyi's Pillar of Demise! Boom!!!!!!

Like two universes colliding, the crimson pillar of fire was forcefully cleaved in two by the Six Severances Seal.

The ash storm swept across 30,000 miles, and the entire illusion was reversed, torn apart, and rewritten.

Qin Yu's clothes were torn to shreds, and the skin on his shoulder was charred black, but he still stood there.

Chiyi was also forced back half a step. But he was not angry or emotional; he simply raised his sword again.

Because this group—inherently lacks "emotions." They are the terminal of order, devouring civilization and severing destiny.

The ring behind Chiyi suddenly shattered. Not shattered, but cracked into a door leading to the desolate outside world.

Behind the door lay a world that could only be described as "absolute black fire."

The black fire was not a burning substance, but rather the burning of "existence itself." Chiyi reached out and entered the world of black fire.

When he drew his hand—he held a brand new sword: the Beyonder of Order—[Ashen Zero Blade]

In an instant, Qin Yu felt a strong sense of danger.

Extinguished Light's pupils contracted. "Qin Yu, be careful! That's something that can sever 'boundaries'!"

Chiyi pointed his sword at Qin Yu. The world fell silent. Even the ashes stopped falling.

Then— the Chiyi vanished, leaving only a crimson flash that pierced straight at Qin Yu's brow.

Qin Yu's Ultimate counterattack - Non-Observation Extinction Aspect - Ultimate - occurred in the instant a flash of light approached.

Qin Yu did not move the Silent Origin Stainless Sword in his hand. His mind moved.

The world went dark. Chiyi's attack froze half an inch in front of it.

Qin Yu said in the calmest voice, "No Observation... Extinction of form."

There was no light. No sound. No explosion. No sword cries.

However, everything about Chiyi —form, concept, existence, definition, fate, memory—

Before Qin Yu, it was removed from the list of "existence".

The next instant, he "disappeared" from the world.

It's not death. It's not annihilation. It's that there's no record of it ever existing.

A huge blank space appeared in the sky of the illusory realm, as if a white gap had been torn open in the heavens, a gap that could never be filled.

The remaining three members of the Extinction Order Celestial Race simultaneously raised their heads slightly.

For the first time, they showed a hint of something to Qin Yu—

It wasn't surprise, but rather. "Target changed, threat level needs to be reassessed." The surrounding world began to tremble.

Before the world could recover from the Annihilation of the first Extinction Order Celestial Race, the void suddenly sank an inch. The heaviness was not a spatial collapse, but rather as if the entire world was being pressed into a somber hue, like the eve of the incineration. Qin Yu stood in the center of the shattered earth, holding the Silent Origin Stainless Sword of the No Definition Extinguished Light of the sword's blade illuminated the empty sky. Beside him, Min Guang stood quietly, her long, black hair slightly raised, and the stardust of her ultimate light burned colorless in the air.

The second being from another world emerged from the dark rift. --Muque, the Gloomfire Preceptor.

He wore a tattered, greyish-white robe, the torn fabric constantly burning, crumbling, and regenerating on his body, like a "cosmic fragment" being turned over by flames. He bowed his head, his posture seemingly silent, yet as if judging whether the entire world still deserved the right to "exist."

Two wings spread behind him, the jet-black metallic wings like fragments cut from the Temple of Annihilation, each feather engraved with annihilation divine runes, dark golden light bursting forth from the patterns, like divine flames before they were extinguished. The world emitted a faint cracking sound because of that light.

He held in his hand a "dark red, fiery-patterned staff blade." A nearly transparent line of fire, powerful enough to burn through the ages, flowed within the broken staff.

The Epoch Incineration Fire. When Muque raised the staff blade, he did not attack, but the entire world took a step back first.

Qin Yu's gaze darkened. Extinguished Light didn't move, but simply raised her eyes, the silver threads around her black, hole-like pupils slowly rotating.

Muque gently tapped the blade of his staff on the ground—and the world burst into flames.

It's not the earth, it's not the air, but "the world itself is being burned prematurely."

The surrounding scenery began to turn gray, the earth turned to ashes, the air became deathly still, and even the light seemed to have been sentenced to death and stopped shining.

The only inch of ground beneath Qin Yu's feet that hadn't turned to ash was because he was standing there.

Muque spoke for the first time, his voice seemed to flow back from a future that had been burned away. "... You... should not exist... in the Unburnt Realm..."

Before he finished speaking, nine dark red burning patterns appeared around him—like nine "epochal incineration lines" about to incinerate the universe.

The next moment, they exploded. Dark Burning Ring - Pre-Epoch Burning

The premature burning of a world's future destruction drags the "future annihilation" into the present.

The winds of annihilation swept across the land, turning the earth into a river of ash, and time itself rippled like paper on fire.

Qin Yu raised his sword, and a flash of Eternal Silence white light seemed to tear open the dark lines.

At the same time, Extinguished Light overflowed from her fingertips, as if she had only breathed slightly.

The world paused for a moment. The Extinguished Light silently struck: Annihilation Light Judging Lord, Sever and Establish Realm Causes.

The enemy's narrative logic is paused; only the Annihilation faction is active.

The crimson flames were abruptly halted in mid-air, as if a frozen ball of primordial fire had been stripped of its meaning.

Taking advantage of the instant, Qin Yu stepped forward, Silent Origin Stainless Sword slashed down fiercely: the Causeless Disillusionment Sword.

--Destroy the cause and effect generation point of Burning Fire.

The causal chain that extinguished the future was severed, and the dark red flames exploded into fragments of gray light.

But Muque did not retreat. He raised his staff blade, and dark red flames spread outward from the patterns on his body, like a burning torrent of time pouring out.

Then—nine dark red, burning chains shot out from behind him.

Each chain did not lock Qin Yu's body, but rather:

Her logic of existence

His fate

Her causal structure

His narrative position

Her permission

His timeline

Her future possibilities

His soul frequency records

Her reason for existence

--This is a technique of annihilation that Void Emanation Realm · Middle Stage rarely uses: Burning Era Mieyin Chains

--Incinerate the nine-fold structure of "the necessity for existence".

Nine chains, like nine dark red divine punishments, fell from the sky.

Extinguished Light took half a step forward. Her long, black hair billowed behind her for a moment, and the light in the world stopped flickering and went out completely, leaving only a sliver of radiant light around her.

She raised her hand. In that instant, it felt as if the world had been pierced.

Extinguished Light softly, you couldn't hear the movement of her lips, but the "voice" resounded from the depths of the world. "The Lightless Cause Birth." The Lightless Cause Birth - Annihilation Chain Extinguishing Proof

-- Deny all "valid skill activation qualifications".

The nine chains had barely touched the edge of Qin Yu's domain when, as if their existence had been forcibly deleted, the entire chain changed from "attack" to "error code," turning into dark dust and falling to the ground.

Muque paused slightly. At that moment, Qin Yu's sword flashed with a second line of white light: Attribution Total Erasure (Fate Principle Reflection Severance - Second Form)

--Erase all the preconditions and causes that led to Muque's "Burning Chain Lock" on him.

The intense burning patterns on the Muque collapsed completely, and the dark red light was forced to collapse inward.

But he was still not defeated. Instead, he raised his head.

In that instant, Qin Yu and Extinguished Light simultaneously lowered their gazes slightly. Muque looked up for the first time—

Beneath his tattered hat brim, what was revealed was not a face, but an unfathomable "Black Hole of the Burning Era".

The next moment, Muque raised the Epoch Incineration Staff Blade.

The entire world's sky was set ablaze on the spot.

The sky, clouds, sunlight, time, gravity, destiny, the colors of memory...

All were burned, becoming "the final, darkest fire."

He unleashed his final world-destroying technique: Final Burning Era - Dark Burial of the Realm

--The "ultimate fate" of incinerating an entire world was forcibly and prematurely executed.

In that instant, the world resembled an ancient scroll that had been burned to ashes.

Qin Yu and Extinguished Light stepped forward simultaneously. Qin Yu raised his sword, the Unyielding Edge—[Undefined Destruction Sword]

The concept of "existence" of burning incense for final burial is denied.

The final glimmer of Extinguished Light burst forth simultaneously, like a silent, Annihilation sun:

[Final Radiance Void Law - Fate Image Destruction and Rewriting] -- Rewrites the definition of the annihilation realm of Twilight Palace, rewriting "Burning the World" as "Invalid Fate Image".

The world lights up in two ways: White light (Qin Yu) and Black radiance (Extinguished Light).

Two absolute final judgment-level forces simultaneously pressed down on Muque. Boom!

The heavens and earth shattered into two halves.

The black flames that had extinguished the era were suppressed into a brief line of silence by the final radiance of Extinguished Light, and then completely severed from their source of existence by Qin Yu's Undefined Destruction Sword.

The body of the Gloomfire Preceptor in the Muque begins to shatter under the dual judgment of white and black.

However—just as he was about to shatter.

A light that wasn't his, a voice that wasn't his, rules that weren't his—suddenly descended upon the battlefield.

Qin Yu's sword stopped half an inch. Extinguished Light slightly raised his eyes. The third light dispersed from the left. The fourth darkness fell from behind.
