Did the Buddha ever refute the view of "extreme metaphysical nihilism" i.e. a view that "nothing is real"?

I am defining "extreme metaphysical nihilism" as the belief that "nothing is real".

I do not know if the belief that "nothing is real" is (also) called something else but if it is then please tell me.

The view that "nothing is real" is false as far as I am concerned.

My refutation of the view that "nothing is real" is that consciousness is observably real in the distinguishing and judging of real or unreal.

Did the Buddha ever refute the view of "extreme metaphysical nihilism" or "nothing is real"?
