The Deep Root Entrance Appears, Shaking the Void Obliteration Domain
The moment the Deep Root Light Domain completely closed, all light seemed to be drawn away from the cracks in the world. And deep within the core of the collapsing light, a figure stepped out from that boundless void.
Qin Yu's footsteps landed back in the Ghost Palace. A faint, ethereal "hum" echoed deep within the space.
That wasn't a shock, but rather—the entire palace adapting to Qin Yu's "right to exist."
Extinguished Light immediately raised his head, his long black hair swaying slightly, and the silver lines in his pupils suddenly contracted into a single point.
For the first time, she showed genuine doubt. "... I can't see through you."
Qin Yu paused slightly. Extinguished Light wasn't referring to cultivation level or soul consciousness, but rather "the level of existence itself."
Extinguished Light continued, his voice calm but with an unprecedented solemnity. "That light domain... actually blocked my entry."
Even I was excluded." She stared into Qin Yu's eyes for a long time, the black light reflecting a very faint ring of light.
"The changes in you... I can't even define the word 'change'."
Qin Yu did not answer, but gently raised his hand to feel the invisible, traceless, and indescribable ring deep within his soul domain.
He could clearly sense that the ring was not in his Soul Sea, not in his consciousness domain, not in his physical body...
Yet it can illuminate the world at any time.
Qin Yu suppressed all his emotions and said calmly, "Mm."
He didn't say anything unnecessary—because this power itself cannot be explained.
He looked at Extinguished Light: "What about the senior?"
The silver lines in Extinguished Light's eyes straightened again, and he gently shook his head. "He disappeared after you entered the light domain."
Qin Yu pondered for a moment: (He didn't leave... he was "removed from the narrative layer" by that light domain. His existing functions have been partially completed.)
Extinguished Light looked at Qin Yu and added, "However... he left a few words before he disappeared."
Qin Yu looked up and waited. Extinguished Light softly recited the sentence that sounded like an ancient inscription:
The fragments bowed their heads, silencing the clamor of the world.
The Annihilation Domain, once dark and silent, now shines anew.
Hidden in the secluded root lies a mysterious aperture.
"Exploring the abyss once more, the path to enlightenment remains distant."
These four lines are like a kind of "destined guidance" coming from the depths of the abyss.
Qin Yu did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes slightly and used the logic of the Annihilation Dawn Realm to analyze the situation step by step.
--The fragments bowed their heads, concealing the clamor of the world.
(The lingering echoes of the previous conflict fade away, and the Deep Root fall silent.)
--The Annihilation Domain Realm Returns to the Shining Sky
(The true anomaly in the Void Obliteration Domain is related to the "Great Radiant Firmament Layer")
--Hidden Roots Conceal Mysteries
(The true opportunity lies hidden in the Deep Root.)
--Revisiting the Abyss to Comprehend the Distant Dao
(To obtain the opportunity, one must continue to descend to even "farther" layers of the abyss.)
Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes.
His voice was calm and clear. "I understand."
He is telling us--
Beneath the Deep Root lies an even deeper abyss; the true opportunity... resides in the more hidden layers of the roots.
Extinguished Light looked at him, his black robes fluttering slightly, his voice cold yet carrying a rare seriousness:
"In that case, let's go." Qin Yu nodded slightly.
The two turned around simultaneously. The colossal azure realm at the far end of the palace slowly cracked open in the darkness.
Like opening the "Entrance to the Abyss" of the next Source of Epochless, Qin Yu's robes fluttered lightly, his eyes calm and unwavering.
The Extinguished Light and black glow drifted with the wind, their footsteps silent. The two walked side by side—from the Palace of the Dead into the deeper Deep Root.
The night in the Void Obliteration Domain is deeper than in any other realm.
That night, deep within the Mingqin Palace, the main forbidden area of the Chaos First Palace, was surrounded by layers of spiritual patterns and ancient chaotic patterns, so quiet that even the sound of the wind could not penetrate it.
The lights inside the hall were dim. Only a thin beam of blue light shone down from a crack in the ceiling, illuminating the woman sitting quietly.
Ling Liangyan.
She sat cross-legged before the stone seat of the guqin, her back serene and aloof, her robes fluttering slightly, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, reflecting a soft blue light, as if she were listening to some silent string of heaven and earth.
In her hand she held a three-dimensional hand seal, a mixture of dark gold and colorless material.
It was that forbidden item, powerful enough to Annihilation Chaos Realm · Supreme:
The Edict of Formless - The Wedge of Extermination. A faint light shines on the wedge, its deep lines pulsating, like a slumbering command of annihilation.
Ling Liangyan gently stroked its edges with her fingertips.
The action didn't seem like playing with it; it was more like confirming—whether it still "exists."
She closed her eyes, and scenes from not long ago surfaced deep in her mind—
Yuan Xu's Last Writings: The Eighth Level of "Bookless Ruins"
Qin Yu shattered the "Mirror of Narrative Paradox" with the soul of the Severed Observation Realm;
In the eleventh level, the two stood in the Eternal Silence Dust Sea, extinguishing the unforeseen rewriting of the Chaotic False God;
The fourteenth final review of the document.
She and Qin Yu stood back to back in the collapsed, bookless void.
Amidst the boundless storm of fragmented narratives, they stabilized their souls.
Then Qin Yu said softly, "Next stroke, it's our turn to write together."
Memories flashed by like a fleeting moment, and she opened her eyes.
The hall remained eerily quiet. Tomorrow...
The Deep Root Lower Layers is about to begin.
She raised her head, looking towards the palace gate, a slight glint in her eyes:
"... Tomorrow is the day the Deep Root Lower Layers begins."
Her voice was very soft, yet it traveled through the hall.
It resonated between each layer of the zither pattern array.
She looked down at the Wedge of Extermination in her hand.
Her fingertips tightened slightly. It wasn't worry.
It wasn't anxiety, but rather: she was waiting for someone who was bound to appear.
She murmured softly, "Qin Yu... why aren't you back yet?"
The wind whispered across the roof of the main hall, as if carrying a distant echo of that name.
However, she didn't know—at this moment, Qin Yu,
They have been chosen by the Obliteration Coffin and have entered the "Unnamed Page Realm," the deepest Deep Root Lower Layers, ahead of schedule.
Tomorrow... everyone will scramble for the entrance.
But Qin Yu has already surpassed everyone else by a significant margin.
Ling Liangyan sighed softly, carefully putting the Wedge of Extermination close to her body.
His gaze fell upon the illusory image of an ancient zither deep within the dark palace.
The first string of the guqin vibrated slightly, as if an echo of some distant breath of heaven and earth resonated.
She looked up, her heartfelt words falling softly:
"Where did you go? Did you run into the Asura Immortal Hall? Ugh... this is driving me crazy."
The hall remained as quiet as ever. But in the air, there was a faint, almost imperceptible tension—the thread of fate was beginning to tighten.
Before dawn broke on the day following the Void Obliteration Domain, the entire Southern Region was forcibly illuminated by a light that did not belong to any other realm.
It was not sunlight. It was not a flash of light. It was not a crack in the sky.
It was a "mysterious waterfall of light"—falling vertically from the deepest darkness of the sky.
It stretches across the heavens and the earth, like a broken sea of stars cascading down from the endless sky.
The light was mixed with patterns of shattered galaxies, fallen stars, and collapsing spacetime.
In the southern region of the Void Obliteration Domain —the earth roared. Mountains cracked, the spiritual sea surged back, and countless palaces floated into the air.
The rules of the entire domain seemed to have been gently "pressed down" by some ancient and indefinable force.
The next instant—the Milky Way fell!!! The curtain of the southern sky was torn open,
An endless, dazzling galaxy cascaded down like a river falling into an abyss. Trillions of starlight converged into a silver-gold waterfall.
It crashed down with a deafening roar in the far reaches of the Southern Region. As countless cultivators looked up, they realized: that wasn't the opening of the entrance.
That was—an entire universe turned upside down.
Between heaven and earth, countless spirit beasts fled far away, and countless powerful beings opened their eyes at the same time.
In the southern part of the Void Obliteration Domain, a vast circular domain constructed from galaxies is slowly unfolding.
--The entrance to the Deep Root Lower Layers, the present world. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn...
All the great palaces and temple lords of the entire Void Obliteration Domain gazed southwards.
A surge of energy caused the heavens and earth to tremble. It was the thirtieth breath since the Milky Way began to fall.
On the rooftop of the highest palace in the Chaos First Palace, two oppressive auras rose silently like ancient, divine peaks.
Yun Yanwan, Palace Master of the Chaos First Palace. Yun Yanxi, Deputy Palace Master of the Chaos First Palace.
The two stood side by side atop the palace, high in the sky, their figures solemn.
The radiance of the cascading Milky Way shone upon the two of them, as if draping them in a vast array of star patterns.
Yun Yanwan spoke, her voice grand and steady, resounding throughout the palace domain for tens of thousands of miles. "The entrance to the Deep Root Lower Layers has appeared." With these words...
The aura of the entire Chaos First Palace instantly became active, and countless array patterns lit up.
More than a thousand beams of light and shadow, all above the Annihilation Dawn Realm, soared into the air.
Chaos Token appeared in Yun Yanwan's hand, its light as deep as a starry abyss.
"All disciples of the Chaos First Palace above the Annihilation Dawn Realm, heed my command!"
Following Elder Ling Bright Zither Hall
Elder Zhang of the Purple Firmament Hall
Elder Liu of the Primordial Hall
Elder Chen and other elders of the Profound Firmament Hall ventured into the Deep Root Lower Layers sect to seek opportunities!
The radiant light of the Milky Way shines upon countless disciples.
Yun Yanxi added, her voice equally majestic. "All the opportunities, sacred treasures, and chaotic artifacts obtained from the Deep Root Lower Layers..."
"They all belong to their respective owners!" Yun Yanwan, waving her sleeves. "I hope you will seize this opportunity..."
Break through my own limitations, for the future of my Chaos First Palace--
Protect and escort. Between heaven and earth,
The thousands of disciples of the Annihilation Dawn Realm roared in unison, "Yes! We obey the Palace Master's command!!!"
The roaring sound surged, shaking the heavens, merging with the thunderous crash of the falling Milky Way.
Thousands of Chaos Palace disciples took to the air one after another, led by the four elders.
Forming giant torrents of light,
They sped towards the Deep Root entrance of the Milky Way waterfall. Under the starlight,
The Chaos First Palace is like a team that has stepped into the Deep Root of the universe.
But no one knew—just before they all rushed towards the entrance with fervor,
One person is already deeply rooted in the Deep Root Lower Layers. That person is none other than Qin Yu.
The four elders of the Chaos First Palace led over a thousand Annihilation Dawn Realm disciples, transforming into four towering beams of light.
Rushing towards the entrance to the Deep Root amidst the deafening roar of the cascading Milky Way. As the last disciple stepped into the celestial rift,
Only two figures, as silent as an abyss, remained in the entire highest palace: Yun Yanwan Yun Yanxi.
The sound of wind echoed through the palace. Yun Yanxi turned around, her expression heavy with worry. "Palace Master, Qin Yu... hasn't returned yet?"
Yun Yanwan silent for a moment, gazing in the direction of the cascading Milky Way waterfall, her tone tinged with a hint of helplessness:
"Sigh... According to Elder Ling, after they separated in the secret realm, Qin Yu seemed to have to take care of his own affairs."
He exhaled slowly, and the light from the sky reflected deep ripples in his eyes:
"Now that the Deep Root have been established, we cannot allow the entire Chaos First Palace to stagnate while waiting for him."
Yun Yanxi nodded, but her brows remained furrowed. "... The Asura Immortal Hall will certainly not let this opportunity pass."
Yun Yanwan's voice suddenly deepened. "Yes."
Deep Root, we, the disciples of Chaos, will inevitably clash with the Asura. A great battle... is unavoidable.
The wind suddenly picked up in the palace.
Yun Yanxi said softly, "I hope he... can make it to Deep Root and reunite with Liangyan and the others."
Yun Yanwan looked up at the gradually closing rift in the Milky Way.
A sliver of involuntary anticipation rose within him. Qin Yu...
If you return, this journey will be different.
At the same moment—on the other side of the Void Obliteration Domain, a murderous aura rose like a vortex.
Beneath a towering, red and black palace that seemed to reach into the clouds,
Tens of thousands of disciples from the Annihilation Dawn Realm have already gathered.
Their aura transformed into a crimson torrent, shaking heaven and earth.
The sky was covered with dense, murderous patterns, and the ground glowed red as if it had been Blood Immersion.
With a resounding footstep, He Xunsu, the Palace Master of the Asura Immortal Hall,
Slowly ascend the steps at the very front of the square.
His appearance made the entire space feel as if it were being weighed down by an iron will.
His cold gaze swept over the tens of thousands of disciples.
The voice was deep and cold, like iron cutting through bone: "The Deep Root entrance is now visible—"
"Today, the disciples of my Asura Immortal Hall will proceed immediately!"
The ten thousand disciples of the Asura Sect roared in unison, "Roar!!!"
A murderous intent filled the sky.
He Xunsu continued, "Those who penetrate Deep Root— "
One purpose is to seek out opportunities and treasures to improve their cultivation; the other is to engage in a bloody Chaos First Palace!
He pointed directly to the enormous chasm in the Milky Way in the southern sky: "I encountered someone from the Chaos First Palace— "
No need for further words. Encircle them! Annihilation!! Leave nothing behind!
Tens of thousands of disciples unleashed their power simultaneously, their killing intent surging like a blood tide against the sky.
The Asura Immortal Hall's ironclad rule of slaughter was fully awakened at this moment.
Behind He Xunsu, more than ten elders of the Asura Immortal Hall stepped forward in unison.
Their auras were all unfathomable. And at the very back, a figure slowly emerged.
He stood tall and straight, his robes a deep red with gold patterns.
His movements were so steady they were breathtaking. His face was covered by a black, cracked mask.
Only his slightly raised chin was visible. But the aura emanating from him...
Even the space itself trembled slightly. Chaos Realm - Supreme.
The oppressive atmosphere was overwhelming, like a tidal wave. No one dared to breathe loudly. He remained silent.
Only after He Xunsu nodded slightly,
Gently raise your hand to adjust a corner of the mask. Then--
With a single step, the heavens and earth surged with killing intent. He Xunsu's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "My three direct disciples from the Asura Immortal Hall —will accompany you on this journey to the Deep Root!!!"
Tens of thousands of Asura disciples roared simultaneously, their voices shaking the heavens. "Slay the Chaos First Palace!! Fight for Asura!!!"
The next instant—a crimson tornado shot into the sky, and countless Asura disciples transformed into a torrent of blood-red light, rushing straight towards the chasm of the Milky Way.
Void Obliteration Domain - First Divine Hall: Silent Nothingness Divine Hall
When the Milky Way rift exploded into a third waterfall of light in the southern sky, the entire sky above the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall suddenly fell silent.
Silence is not stillness—it is a silence in which even the concept of "sound" is eradicated.
The walls of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall are colorless, reflecting neither light nor shadow.
It was as if it itself was part of the annihilation. Palace Master – Feng Xizhi
Standing before the ninety-thousand-foot-high celestial steps, draped in a long, somber robe,
The hem of his robe remained still, for the wind dared not touch him.
He raised his hand, and a patch of grayish-white light scattered like "silent ashes."
It transformed into a mark and landed between the brows of more than a dozen highly skilled cultivators.
Those people—each one of them was at the Annihilation Dawn Realm · Peak.
Two of them even reached the "Void Emanation Realm · Initial Stage".
Feng Xizhi spoke calmly, "Once the Deep Root are opened—the cause of the Annihilation Void will inevitably be reversed. This trip... is not for any opportunity."
Your Highness, ten thousand disciples of the Annihilation Dawn Realm knelt in unison. "Please give your instructions, Your Highness!"
Feng Xizhi gently closed her eyes. "--To erase the unknown."
The next instant, the entire temple seemed to have been lightly brushed across by an invisible hand.
All ten thousand disciples and more than ten elders were transformed into "silent afterimages" and taken into the colorless passage leading to the Southern Heavenly Rift.
Void Obliteration Domain - Second Temple: Fallen Dawn Divine Hall
Compared to the Silent Void, the Fallen Dawn Divine Hall is—the end of light.
Palace Master Dawn Emperor Yun Huan stood atop the Myriad Lights Sacred Platform.
His every move was accompanied by the bleakness of the world.
The moment the Deep Root entrance opened, countless rays of light instantly appeared in the sky.
But all the light didn't increase brightness, but rather...
The colors have been drained.
The hundreds of light cultivators of the Fallen Dawn Divine Hall were clad in Dawn-patterned battle armor.
Each person's eyes reflected a halo that was neither sun nor fire.
The Dawn Emperor said slowly, "Deep Root will reflect the Annihilation Void. This journey—the light will be extinguished, and the darkness will deepen."
All the disciples of Fallen Dawn chanted in unison. "We swear by the Fallen Light, to illuminate the abyss!"
Subsequently, a huge halo formed above the temple.
But the halo emitted no light; instead, it resembled a black sun smeared with ink. A crack appeared in the black sun.
Tens of thousands of Fallen Dawn cultivators stepped into it and sped towards the entrance of the Southern Heavenly Milky Way.
Void Obliteration Domain - Fifth Divine Temple: Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall
If Silent Void means "no sound," Fallen Dawn means "the extinction of light."
Therefore, the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall is—the very operation of the Heavenly Dao.
Ninety-nine Heavenly Emanation star chains stretched across the sky within the hall.
Each chain is a "manifestation of the law." Palace Master – Emanation Lord Ming Ji
Standing at the center of Starlink, countless Heavenly Dao runes flowed automatically behind him.
Like a writer from the depths of the universe, when the Deep Root entrance fully unfolds, the Heavenly Emanation Chain suddenly reverses.
The sound of laws being reversed was like the heavens weeping.
Ming Ji waved his sleeve. "All sons of Heavenly Emanation, follow the elders into the Deep Root." The ninety-nine star chains collapsed with a deafening roar.
The shattered light of the Heavenly Dao, transformed into dragons and snakes, enveloped the entire hall. Then—
All the figures of the Heavenly Emanation cultivators transformed into countless Heavenly Dao runes and were sent into the Deep Root Entrance.
The entire Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall slowly sank into the void, as if it had been "called out" in advance by the Deep Root Lower Layers.
Sects, gangs, wandering cultivators, and Liu Yuan Practitioners cultivators from all over the Void Obliteration Domain
Once the Deep Root Lower Layers opened, the entire world of the Void Obliteration Domain seemed to have been struck by some ancient force.
Everyone -- Global Action. Sect
Tens of thousands of sects were shaken, and their leaders and disciples took to the air.
"Go! Once the Deep Root planted, an unparalleled opportunity will befall the world!"
"Seize a Chaos Treasure, and your sect will prosper for a thousand years!" "If you obtain a secret technique, you can directly ascend to the Void Evolution!"
Countless sects formed beams of light in the sky, rushing towards the southern heavens like a migration of myriad races.
The various gangs were filled with murderous intent. "From this day forward, life and death are in the hands of fate!"
"Treasures are determined by fate!" Tens of thousands of the Annihilation Lord Realm cultivators galloped on their magical beasts.
Determined to fight for a glimmer of hope for the future. Rogue Cultivator & wanderer.
Countless powerful Rogue Cultivator hidden in the abyss emerged from the depths of the mountains, rifts, and the bottom of the Black Lake.
They belong to no sect or faction, but they are all --
Monsters that are not bound by rules.
The old man, leaning on his bone cane, said, "I've remained unmoved for three hundred years, waiting for this very day."
A young man sneered, "Deep Root don't tolerate the weak. I hope I can come back alive."
The Last Force: The Liu Yuan Practitioners, Deep Within the Black Mist Region --
A group of powerful individuals "not recognized by the rules of the Annihilation Void" slowly walked out.
They are the outcasts of the world, the anomalies of the Void Obliteration Domain.
One of them looked up, his eyes vacant. "Deep Root have opened..."
"We should go down too." The black mist exploded, and the group of Liu Yuan Practitioners Dwellers rushed into the void rift like wild beasts.
At this moment, all forces in the Void Obliteration Domain simultaneously surged towards the entrance to the Southern Milky Way.
The sky looked as if it had been shattered by a massive army, and the entrance to the Deep Root was already the eve of a battlefield where billions of lights and shadows converged.
