The moment the Buddha statue deep within the sealed chamber fully awakened, the world seemed to be pressed into some kind of invisible, silent current.
The air stopped moving. Time seemed to be compressed into a still sheet.
For a moment, all the color around Qin Yu seemed to be drained away.
The Buddha statue's slowly opening golden-black eyes resembled a ring of judgment piercing through all realms.
Looking at Qin Yu, there was no joy, no sorrow, no anger, no emotion, only the eternal "judgment of existence."
In that silent instant—"—birth without thought, extinction without form."
A voice seemed to emanate from the Buddha statue. But it wasn't a voice.
That was the very cause and effect of heaven and earth resonating.
It is the "qualification to be narrated" of all things that trembles in response to his words.
Then the second sentence. "Neither existence nor non-existence... a single thought distinguishes reality from illusion."
As soon as the incantation was finished, all the light in the sealed chamber began to distort.
The walls collapsed and then reformed, the ground rolled upwards and then remained still in mid-air.
Qin Yu's heart sank: --The voice of the Void Emanation Realm?!
The Buddha statue slowly sank to the third position.
Each word is like an "absolute law" extracted from the eternal void:
"Existence is non-existence, Beginningless Endless." In an instant—
A jet-black line with golden flames intertwined is visible between the Buddha's eyebrows.
The patterns resembled a "void lifeline" spanning countless realms.
Once it appeared, the entire depths of the Saint Transformation Divine Domain began to tremble!
The incantation manifested as streams of light from within the patterns. These streams of light were not light itself.
It is "the phantom before the concept takes shape".
It is "the first breath before the laws are defined".
They circled around the Buddha statue. One circle, two circles, nine circles...
Each rotation causes tiny cracks to appear in the space.
The power of the Void Emanation Realm does not belong to the Saint Transformation Divine Domain itself.
It is an existential force that transcends the level of logic.
As the tenth circle of mantra light took shape—the Buddha statue clasped its hands in prayer. In that instant, the illusory radiance exploded!
The incantation materialized. A demonic spirit was born. Between the Buddha statue's palms, a chaotic, ethereal light began to condense.
It has no physical form, yet it seems like an ancient monster that crawled out of the "Abyss of No Thought".
The illusory light split into three strands as if it had been ripped apart:
The first one transformed into Faceless Spirit, its form twisted, like a creature whose outline had been erased; with each breath it took, the colors of the space faded.
The second creature transformed into Beast of Reverse Derivation, its limbs bent backwards, its bones inlaid with golden patterns like glass. With each step it took, the cause and effect on the ground reversed for a moment.
The third form transformed into Silent Heart Night Wraith, draped in a shattered curtain of light, its eyes hollow, each blink causing a inch of surrounding space to "forget its existence."
All three of them looked up at Qin Yu at the same time.
The moment the three demonic spirits, formed from the incantation of Void Evolution, simultaneously pounced,
The entire relic-sealing chamber seemed to have been torn apart into two layers of reality. The space shattered layer by layer.
Like glass, it shattered outwards with thousands of light cracks.
Deep within the cracks flows an invisible, colorless, and lifeless abyss— the Abyss of Void Evolution.
Qin Yu's brow twitched slightly, and an inexplicable pressure emanated from the depths of his Annihilation Devil Pupil.
He dared not be careless. These things—
It is not a living thing, but rather "the form of the Void Evolution incantation itself".
Since flesh and blood cannot be severed, and the soul cannot be cut off, the only recourse is to use "law and reason" to counter "law and reason."
Qin Yu's gaze sharpened—"The Void Emanation Realm... a cursed spirit whose very existence is incomplete."
The cursed spirits rushed towards him in unison, like shadows leaping out of the "invisible." They had no trajectory and were unpredictable. Once they touched anything, they turned that space into a blank space that had "never existed."
At that fatal moment— the Fate Cause Sealing Mirror and the Logic Abyss Core.
Qin Yu raised his right hand, Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram shone brightly behind him.
The sky was instantly stretched open by countless silver-blue mirror fragments, reflecting—
The origins, trajectory, and structure of cursed spirits... even reflecting the "moment of their creation."
The mirror slammed shut!
Half of the cursed spirit's body was instantly frozen in the mirror, its existence logic dragged back to the "source," as if it were being disassembled into meaningless black dots.
Click--click--click!!
Countless mirror-shattering sounds erupted simultaneously, and the chains of light pressed down, completely locking down a group of cursed spirits, which then exploded into black mist.
Qin Yu stood against the wind, his clothes billowing, his gaze calm and composed.
Silent Wheel Dawn Extinction, a blinding white light suddenly burst forth in the void before us!
It is no longer light, but rather like the blank traces left when "the world was erased".
Qin Yu pointed a finger, and the Dawn Extinction Annihilation Wheel spun wildly behind him, its roar like thunder piercing through multiple dimensions.
The instant the cursed spirit pounced—it was completely enveloped by "Dawn Judgment":
Their operational logic was negated, their existence premises were stripped away, and even the possibility of activating a spell dissipated in the light.
Buzz--!!!
The void was wiped clean as if by a divine brush, and a large number of cursed spirits were swept into a white Annihilation.
Qin Yu's Silent Origin Stainless Sword - First Form: No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword
The black tide of cursed spirits suddenly increased in density, as if to engulf the entire temple.
Qin Yu's steps faltered slightly, and with a flick of his palm, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword appeared, its blade swirling with chaotic lotus patterns.
The moment the No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword was swung down—the world fell silent.
Space died. Light and darkness vanished simultaneously.
The world seemed to be cut into pure white paper. The Void Evolution incantations above the spirits' heads shattered into black ash in an instant. They didn't even have time to form the concept of "wanting to hide" before being stripped away into a blank void of light.
Where the sword light fell, countless cursed spirits turned into pale golden dust, annihilated without a trace.
But...
Just after Qin Yu used three top-tier skills to Annihilation hundreds of cursed spirits in succession--
Their numbers have not decreased; on the contrary, they have begun to multiply.
The void seemed to be torn open from the outside, and black "chains of curses" hung down from the cracks, continuously giving rise to new cursed spirits.
Number of cursed spirits: one → ten → hundreds → thousands → increasing...
They had no will of their own, but simply obeyed the "Void Emanation Realm incantation" emanating from the crack in the Buddha statue.
Qin Yu's brows furrowed for the first time. His attack was still effective.
However, the "birth logic" of the cursed spirit has not been severed at all.
He only cut down what was "created," not the "source of creation."
Boom!!! Another wave of cursed spirits rushed in like a tsunami, like an invisible black cloud, crushing and deforming the entire temple.
A trace of the black curse grazed Qin Yu's left arm, and his sleeve immediately turned into meaningless fragments, disappearing as if it had never existed.
He knew perfectly well that the more he killed these cursed spirits, the more there were—he had to find the source of the curse.
The horde of cursed spirits was closing in, the chanting from the Buddha statues grew louder and louder, and the ancient temple shook as if the end of the world had arrived.
Qin Yu gripped his sword, his breathing utterly calm. "... As long as the source remains, the cursed spirits will never perish."
His gaze slowly rose to the crack on the Buddha statue's forehead.
The next moment, he said softly, "I've found your underlying logic."
Deep within the dilapidated ancient palace of the Saint Transformation Divine Domain, cursed spirits continue to emerge endlessly, as if being pulled out of the void by an invisible hand and thrown into reality.
Qin Yu at the center of the storm, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword in his hand, the oppressive aura of the Annihilation Dawn Realm silently spreading out.
But he didn't rush to attack. His eyes were fixed on a thin, almost imperceptible black line deep in the void.
That wasn't a spatial rift, nor was it an energy flow.
Rather, it is the logical chain of the birth of the Void Emanation Realm Cursed Spirit.
An invisible logic spread outward from the crack in the Buddha statue, and with each tremor, new incantations were forcibly released from the "unconcealed place".
Qin Yu's eyes flashed, Ring Master Soul Diagram slowly unfolded behind him, the nine soul rings revolving like a galaxy. "... Found it."
His voice was extremely soft, yet it sounded like a doomsday judgment delivered to the entire hall.
The next instant—the third seal of the Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence: Six Severances Seal —condensed in the void like thunder.
Orbital Collapse Lock · Chain Annihilation
The void was torn apart by dark golden "fate chains," which moved swiftly like living things, firmly binding the Void Evolution Logic Chain.
The chains emitted a golden light of annihilation, and with a thought from Qin Yu —BOOM!!!
The sound of the logic chain breaking is not a sound, but like the "setting text" of the entire world being torn apart.
In an instant, the number of cursed spirits began to decrease drastically, and their birth rate was forcibly slowed down.
But at that very moment—the Buddha statue suddenly emitted a black light.
The once lifeless Buddha statue suddenly had its forehead cracked open as if by some force, unleashing a burst of black light that plunged the entire ancient temple into a dark, shadowless night.
A blurry, unreal figure slowly rose from the crack.
It had no face, no body, only a "residual consciousness," but its oppressive aura instantly shattered the surrounding space.
The voice seemed to come from the endless abyss of nightmares. "Young man..."
The voice was hollow and devoid of emotion, yet it carried a coldness that transcended time.
"Now that you've stepped into this place—don't even think about going back."
Qin Yu slightly raised his eyes, his tone as calm as a sword yet to be drawn:
"Your remaining consciousness has deteriorated to this extent, yet you still dare to obstruct me?"
The black light trembled. The remnant spirit of the Buddha statue seemed to be enraged.
"You usurped this place, stole the sacred artifact, and destroyed my cursed chains... Do you think you can leave? Now that you've come, you will vanish into nothingness along with this world."
The ancient temple trembled as if the world had been turned upside down, Void Evolution incantations surged forth, leaving afterimages with outstretched arms.
"--Source of Curse, activate." The Source of Curse erupts.
The crack instantly expanded into a bottomless Black Abyss!
Countless cursed spirits were no longer born one by one, but instead collapsed like a "Sea of Form," each carrying the power of the collapse of the rules of the Void Emanation Realm.
The air was torn to shreds. Time seemed to be compressed into a solid.
The cause-and-effect line appears to be repeatedly stirred until it breaks.
For the first time, Qin Yu felt the weight of the entire space "erasing his definition of existence."
A cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes. "... Trying to drown me with the curse's power?"
His steps faltered slightly. The Silent Origin Stainless Sword was slowly raised.
The sword tip trembled slightly, and chaotic lotus patterns swirled around it. That was—
A formula that can Sever Karma, the original structure of rules, and the starting point of logic.
The Silent Origin Stainless Sword, Second Form – The Causeless Disillusionment Sword.
The next instant—the entire world suddenly turned into a pool of black ink.
All colors were drained, all laws collapsed, and the very logic of the existence of all cursed spirits was forced to be exposed.
Qin Yu swung his sword, the movement so light it was as if he were slicing through the air.
However—the sky collapsed, the earth shattered, and cause and effect were torn to ash from their very roots.
Where the sword light swept past, the cursed spirit's body didn't even have time to shatter before turning into causeless phantom dust, annihilated into meaningless nothingness.
The Sea of Form originating from the curse was forcibly cut in two by the sword light, and the tsunami rolled backward, as if its reason for existence had been erased.
The remnant spirit of the Buddha statue roared in a tearing fury, "Causeless... Annihilation... You actually possess the Silent Origin Stainless Sword?!!"
Qin Yu stood at the center of the shattered curse source, his eyes as cold as an abyss:
"The second move is enough to annihilate you." Dust settled. The Black Abyss closed.
The cursed spirit was erased into a causeless black mist. -- But the battle is far from over.
The remnant spirit of the Buddha statue had just revealed its true form. Qin Yu raised his sword, his gaze sharp as a knife. "... Now, it's your turn."
