Nether Puppet Suppresses the Abyss, Qin Yu Breaks the Order
Standing at the edge of the sacrificial domain, Qin Yu glanced at it and immediately realized the almost insurmountable chasm between the two sides.
His cultivation was at the Void Emanation Realm · Supreme, while the Three Nether Yin Puppets before him had already reached the Stainless Level. That was a gap that could not be bridged by fighting, but rather a discontinuity in the structure of the Fate Soul and the level of existence.
But Qin Yu showed no sign of backing down.
He knew very well that Does Not Exist option of "retreat" here. This was precisely the place where the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor had prepared for him to face judgment.
The next instant, his mind was suddenly jolted.
Above his brow, a cold, azure halo emerged from nothingness.
The Azure Ring is visible.
Her petite figure landed on Qin Yu's shoulder, her long, dark blue hair cascading to her ankles, the ends transforming into translucent blue flames that hovered there. Her light blue ringed pupils slowly rotated, her gaze settling on the Three Nether Yin Puppets. The chains at her ankles swayed gently, emitting a very soft "clang."
"Little Qinzi."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it echoed clearly throughout the Annihilation Sacrificial Domain, "You should exchange a few blows with this thing first."
She tilted her head, her tone calm to the point of indifference. "Don't rush to fight. Treat it as a test of your Fate Soul and logic."
Qin Yu slowly exhaled.
The power of Void Evolution within his body began to circulate rapidly. Between his meridians and Fate Soul, the Flow of Void Emanation, existing between "existence" and "non-existence," was forcibly pushed to its Limit. He nodded, his gaze refocusing on the Stainless Fate Soul puppet.
"Good."
His voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally firm.
"Even if it's the Stainless Realm, I'm not afraid."
The moment the words left his mouth, the Three Nether Yin Puppets moved.
It made no initial move; its entire body seemed to skip the "action" process entirely, taking a single step that silently caused the space beneath its feet to collapse. Qin Yu felt his sea of consciousness suddenly sink, and the causal lines around him twisted wildly in his vision, as if being forcibly pulled towards the same endpoint by some force.
He had no time to think. The power of the Void Emanation Realm · Supreme erupted.
Qin Yu's figure left several afterimages in his place, and in the next instant, he had moved dozens of feet away. However, that was not a true separation—the existence of the Three Nether Yin Puppets seemed to be attached to cause and effect itself, and no matter how the distance changed, it always remained on the same "contact plane" as Qin Yu.
The palm formed from the condensed radiance of Annihilation slowly rose.
Before it even landed, the annihilation patterns across the entire sacrificial domain lit up simultaneously.
Qin Yu felt as if his Fate Soul was being held down by an invisible giant hand, causing the Flow of Void Emanation to vibrate violently and its stability to begin to crumble. He let out a low roar and forcibly reversed the direction of the flow of Void Evolution energy within his body, breaking free from the suppression of the Order Adjudication in a way that was almost like tearing his Fate Soul apart.
At that very moment--
The tiny chain on Azure Ring's ankle jingled softly once more.
"When."
A deeper power has been awakened.
Qin Yu steadied himself and faced the Fate Soul Puppet at the Stainless Realm · Middle Stage.
Within the Annihilation Sacrificial Domain, Void Evolution and Stainless clashed head-on for the first time.
Cause and effect are constantly crushed, only to be reassembled in an instant.
The moment the Three Nether Yin Puppets took its second step, the Annihilation Sacrificial Domain completely lost the concept of "stability".
It was not a simple spatial tremor, but a deeper collapse—the annihilation patterns that constituted the sacrificial domain began to misalign with each other, and the originally tightly interlocked logic of Annihilation developed subtle but fatal cracks, as if a "core narrative" that maintained the whole was being forcibly pried open by an external force.
The Three Nether Yin Puppets slowly raised its arm.
The arm formed from the dark, shimmering light of his Fate Soul did not point directly at Qin Yu, but rather at the void behind him. In an instant, Qin Yu felt as if his Fate Soul was being targeted by something, and a cold and absolute pulling force arose from the depths of his body, as if something "that did not belong here" was being forcibly stripped away.
The Fate Soul was detached. There was no light, no power.
However, Qin Yu's vision went blank for a moment, and a crack was forcibly torn open in the Flow of Void Emanation deep in his sea of consciousness. Part of his Fate Soul image began to detach from his body and slowly drift towards the Three Nether Yin Puppets.
"Come on, let's fight..." Qin Yu gritted his teeth and took a sudden step forward.
The power of Void Evolution within his body suddenly reversed, no longer pursuing stability and balance, but actively detonating the non-existent state within his Fate Soul. He brought his hands together, his knuckles glowing with a dark and sharp annihilation light, and a power of Order Adjudication compressed to the Ultimate exploded from his palms.
Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence - Six Severances Seal - Fate Cause Sealing Mirror - Logic Abyss Core.
The instant the seal was formed, the space in front of Qin Yu seemed to be pressed into an invisible abyss mirror wall. All the Fate Soul threads that were pulling outward were forcibly turned back at the same time, Causal Loop was brutally sealed off. The Fate Soul images that were being peeled off suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then were forcibly pressed back into the body by the mirror-like Logic Abyss Core.
The excruciating pain exploded in my mind like thunder.
Qin Yu groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The Fate Soul stripping at the Stainless level is not a single method, but rather acts directly on the foundation of existence. His seal was equivalent to using the logic of the Void Emanation Realm Order Adjudication to forcibly confront the Fate Soul structure of the Stainless Realm.
The consequences were immediately apparent.
The Three Nether Yin Puppets showed no emotional fluctuation; it merely adjusted the angle of its palm slightly. The next instant, the Fate Soul threads that had been suppressed by the sealing mirror re-lit within Qin Yu's body. However, this time, they no longer attempted to withdraw but instead began to "deconstruct."
The layers within his Fate Soul were peeled away one by one, forcing the Flow of Void Emanation to reveal its deeper structure. Qin Yu could even clearly feel that some of his not-yet-fully-stabilized underlying logic was being "read" by the other party.
"Tsk." Azure Ring's voice sounded beside his shoulder, carrying a hint of coldness for the first time.
The blue chains on her ankles suddenly taut, the broken bell trembled slightly, and a blue flame-like light exploded from the tips of her hair. At that moment, she was no longer just an observer, but completely involved in the battle.
"If you continue like this, it will dismantle you layer by layer."
Azure Ring raised the broken sword, the blue blood tears seeping from its blade drawing a twisted arc in the air. She did not strike the Three Nether Yin Puppets directly, but instead plunged the sword's edge into the annihilation runes of the Annihilation Sacrificial Domain.
"The Realm Abyss Reverse Evolution." A soft whisper fell.
A deafening roar, as if the world were being torn apart, suddenly echoed from the depths of the sacrificial domain. The Annihilation logic originally used to separate the Fate Soul was forcibly reversed, tracing back from the "result" to the "beginning," causing a brief internal conflict in the entire sacrificial domain's operational path.
For the first time, the hand of the Three Nether Yin Puppets paused.
The Fate Soul essence surrounding it began to vibrate irregularly, its logic was Reverse Derivation and collapsed, and even the sacrificial domain patterns beneath its feet developed cracks that could not be repaired automatically.
However, this is not the end of the story.
As the crack appeared, the sacrificial domain seemed to be completely enraged. Countless annihilation patterns began to proliferate wildly, as if some uncontrolled instinct for Annihilation was trying to save itself. The space no longer collapsed, but instead shattered directly into layers of Annihilation cross-sections, each layer operating and peeling away independently.
Irreversible fission has begun.
"... It's trading its entire sacrificial domain for its life," Qin Yu said in a low voice. He took a deep breath, his eyes no longer showing any hesitation.
The Flow of Void Emanation was forcibly compressed into the Fate Soul Nucleus, and the deep structures within him that he had deliberately suppressed and had not yet fully revealed began to emerge. It was not a new power, but a form of existence that he had long possessed but had never truly fully unfolded.
"Then let's go." Qin Yu took a step forward, once again facing the Three Nether Yin Puppets at the Stainless Realm · Middle Stage.
Azure Ring stood beside him, her blue flames flickering, and the broken sword humming softly.
At this moment, the Annihilation Sacrificial Domain completely spiraled out of control. The fissioning Annihilation-Construct Logic, like a collapsing sea of stars, swallowed the two figures within it.
This deadly battle between the Void Emanation Realm and the Stainless Realm can no longer return to any "original trajectory".
Before the rift in the Annihilation Sacrificial Domain had fully subsided, the Three Nether Yin Puppets had already taken its third step.
The moment this step was taken, the entire Soul-Sealing Abyss seemed to be plunged into a deeper silence. All the scattered annihilation patterns froze simultaneously, and then rearranged in an almost cold order. It was not repair, but rewriting—the sacrificial domain no longer revolved around "erasure," but began to directly target Qin Yu's Fate Soul body for judgment.
The Three Nether Yin Puppets slowly opened its arms, and a grayish-white radiance of Fate Soul unfolded layer by layer from its chest cavity, like a Nameless book of the underworld turning its pages. With each page turned, the Fate Soul within Qin Yu's body trembled, as if a certain "permitted level" was being crossed out one by one.
The second level of Fate Soul judgment descended. Qin Yu's vision suddenly darkened.
He clearly felt that his existence was forcibly split into several "determinable layers": the Flow of Void Emanation, the cognition of boundary structure, the bearing of cause and effect, the image of Fate Soul... These parts, which were originally integrated into one, were stripped, marked, and locked one by one by the power of judgment of the Stainless level.
The next instant, the cut fell. Not an attack, but deletion.
Qin Yu's chest tightened suddenly, and he was pressed into the void by an irresistible force, as if an invisible hand was trying to erase him directly from the level of "Fate Soul definition". He let out a low groan, and the Flow of Void Emanation in his body began to become uncontrollably chaotic, and even the previously stabilized core of Order Adjudication showed signs of collapse.
"Don't try to tough it out." Azure Ring's voice suddenly lowered, unusually calm and stern.
She stepped barefoot on Qin Yu's shoulder, the chains on her ankles rattling, and the broken bell emitted a short but clear ring, forcibly pulling Qin Yu's collapsing consciousness back.
"Your problem isn't a lack of strength, it's that you're using it in the wrong place."
Qin Yu barely managed to steady himself, gritting his teeth as he said, "It's directly severing my Fate Soul, how can I possibly use it?"
Azure Ring sneered and gently tapped the back of his neck with her broken sword.
"You keep trying to use 'direct cut' to counter the Stainless Realm, of course it will be dismantled. Remember, your advantage isn't in strength, but in your ability to 'rewrite the connection method'."
She spoke very quickly, but every word was clear.
"Don't confront it with the essence of Fate Soul; instead, confront the causal carriers. Don't let judgment fall on 'who you are,' but on 'how you exist.' Use your Cause and Effect Deconstruction to first dismantle its judgment path!"
Qin Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.
The next instant, he stopped trying to stabilize his own Fate Soul and instead released some of the causal anchor points in the opposite direction. The Flow of Void Emanation rushed down with this change, and he raised his hand and pointed. His fingertip did not form an imprint, but an invisible ripple of disintegration spread out from his body.
The Three Forms of Fate Construction Cause and Effect Deconstruction.
This move did not directly confront the Three Nether Yin Puppets, but rather precisely cut into the "transmission logic" of the Fate Soul judgment. The judgment should have been transmitted to Qin Yu's Fate Soul from the sacrificial domain's annihilation pattern, but at the moment the cause and effect were forcibly dismantled, that path lost its continuity, and the power of judgment was as if it had struck the void, suddenly deviating.
The Three Nether Yin Puppets truly paused for the first time.
For a fleeting moment, the illusory image of the book of the underworld that it was turning flipped through showed a misaligned page, and the gray-white radiance fluctuated violently, as if it could not comprehend the result before it.
"Very good, that's it." Azure Ring's tone softened, but she remained calm. "From now on, don't give it a chance to reassemble."
Qin Yu took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, but a fierce ruthlessness ignited in his eyes.
He'd been suppressed and beaten for far too long.
Deep within his Fate Soul at the Void Emanation Realm · Supreme, the structures he had carefully sealed away began to truly unleash themselves. It wasn't a surge of power, but a sharper, more irrational way of being—he no longer attempted to "exist completely," but actively entered a state where he could be sacrificed and replaced.
"You want to fire me?" Qin Yu said in a low voice, hoarse but clearly angry. "Then you'll have to pay the price."
He took a step forward, heading towards the newly formed Fate Soul radiance of the Three Nether Yin Puppets. The power of Void Evolution formed layers of fractured light and shadow on his body, as if they were about to collapse at any moment, yet he always maintained the most dangerous balance.
At this moment, instead of responding calmly, he was completely enraged.
I disagree. I refuse to accept it. I will not back down.
The Annihilation Sacrificial Domain trembled violently between the two, and the fission expanded further.
