Location: Qin Estate Battlefield
The war had completely spiraled out of control.
The once proud Qin estate was now filled with smoke, shattered walls, and the cries of injured disciples.
The Shaw army advanced steadily.
Their formation was disciplined and ruthless.
At the center of the battlefield stood Shaw Tianmo, his crimson cloak fluttering calmly while chaos unfolded around him.
To him, this was merely a small task.
Across from him stood Qin Yong, the current Qin family head.
His robe was already stained with blood, yet his sword still pointed forward.
"As long as I breathe… the Qin family will not fall."
Shaw Tianmo sighed slightly.
"Your determination is admirable."
"But determination cannot defeat power."
He raised one hand.
Dark spiritual energy gathered instantly.
Then—
He flicked his finger.
A massive wave of pressure slammed into Qin Yong.
BOOM!
Qin Yong was thrown across the courtyard, crashing through a stone wall.
Fenglan's eyes widened.
"Grandfather!"
The Twins' Desperate Stand
Fenglan and Meiyue immediately stepped forward.
Their Void bloodlines activated simultaneously.
Black and silver energy spiraled around them.
Shaw Tianmo looked slightly interested.
"So these are the famous Qin heirs."
He studied them carefully.
"Void cultivation…"
"Interesting."
But then he shook his head.
"Still too weak."
He extended his palm toward them.
The air itself began compressing.
The twins suddenly felt an unbearable pressure.
Their knees trembled.
Even breathing became difficult.
Yet they refused to kneel.
Fenglan forced himself to speak.
"Meiyue… we fight together."
She nodded.
Their Void link activated again.
Two energies merged.
For a moment, the battlefield trembled.
Unexpected Resistance
The twins launched their attack.
Void Spiral Slash
and
Moon Domain Threads
collided directly with Shaw Tianmo's pressure.
To everyone's shock—
The pressure actually cracked slightly.
Shaw Tianmo's eyebrow raised.
"Impressive."
But his eyes soon turned cold.
"Unfortunately… talent alone changes nothing."
He lifted his hand higher.
The pressure multiplied instantly.
CRACK.
The ground beneath the twins shattered.
They were forced to their knees.
Blood trickled from the corners of their mouths.
The Silent Change
At that exact moment…
Something strange happened.
Far beneath the Qin estate.
Inside the ancient Void Mirror Archive.
The mirrors began trembling.
Ancient void symbols lit up one by one.
A forgotten mechanism had awakened.
Deep inside the mirrors appeared the reflection of a single man.
The same man from the ancient visions.
Qin Huaian.
The mirrors whispered softly.
"The Void Sovereign returns…"
Back on the Battlefield
Shaw Tianmo prepared to end the fight.
He slowly walked toward the twins.
"Your bloodline is valuable."
"I will personally deliver you to the Shaw clan."
Just as he reached out his hand—
A faint breeze moved across the battlefield.
Nothing dramatic.
Nothing explosive.
Just a simple shift in the air.
Yet every cultivator suddenly felt it.
The spiritual energy of the battlefield… changed.
It became strangely calm.
Even the chaotic explosions slowed.
Shaw Tianmo stopped walking.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"What… is this?"
For the first time since arriving, his expression became serious.
Because the spiritual energy around them had begun flowing in a completely different direction.
Not toward heaven.
Not toward earth.
But toward the void between space.
The Void Observes
High above the battlefield, invisible to most cultivators…
A tear in space quietly opened.
No thunder.
No explosion.
Just silence.
Inside that tear stood a single figure.
Watching.
Not interfering.
Not speaking.
Simply observing.
The war below.
The injured Qin disciples.
His own children kneeling under pressure.
His gaze slowly turned colder.
