Bubble Shadows Vanish, Cause and Effect Severed at the Roots

In that instant Soul-Sealing Abyss completely lost its meaning as "space".

The Three Nether Yin Puppets stood in the center of the darkness, with no surging aura emanating from its body, nor any sign of a powerful roar. However, when it raised its hand, which seemed to be pieced together from nothingness and fragments of Fate Soul, the "presence" of the entire Netherworld began to rapidly thin, as if it were being slowly blown away by an invisible hand.

Its voice no longer entered the sea of consciousness, but instead became an echo at the bottom of this world.

" --Bubble Shadow Tribulation."

In an instant, countless tiny, transparent bubbles of light appeared in the depths of the abyss. Each bubble reflected a different scene: the rudimentary form of a divine power yet to be unleashed, the sword intent yet to fall, the thought yet to take shape, and even the outlines of Qin Yu and Jin Hanyan's own auras were "projected" in advance within the bubbles of light.

The next instant, all those bubbles burst simultaneously.

There was no explosion, no impact, not even a sound.

Qin Yu felt the Silent Origin Stainless Sword in his hand suddenly become lighter, as if it had been stripped from "reality" for a moment. The outline of the sword's edge became blurred for a brief moment, as if it would turn into a reflection on the water and disappear at any moment. The surging power in his body was also forcibly pulled into a state of "never happened" at that moment, and the counterattack that was about to take shape was directly wiped out into a blank.

Jin Hanyan's Light of Stainlessness also trembled violently. The originally clear and bright radiance around her was forcibly torn into countless tiny fragments of light, like the moon's reflection thrown into water, swaying and dissipating with the waves.

The Bubble Shadow Tribulation does not destroy.

It turns everything that is "becoming a reality" into a phantom that never truly existed.

That's precisely what makes it so terrifying.

"Such a domineering method..." Jin Hanyan's heart sank. She clearly felt that this was not a suppression of power, but a direct cut to the "completeness of existence". Even the original radiance of the Stainless Realm could not be completely immune to this kind of supernatural power.

But she didn't back down.

Just as the Light of Stainlessness was about to be completely dispersed, Jin Hanyan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the Ultimate pure source within her body suddenly reversed. She no longer tried to maintain her defensive form, but instead did the opposite—forcibly compressing and folding her own Light of Stainlessness, condensing it into an Ultimate thin silver-white light blade.

That wasn't the power to slash through space, but rather a sharp edge aimed at "stability itself."

"Since you rely on the stability of your Fate Soul to perform your judgments..." Jin Hanyan said in a low voice, her tone calm and clear, "Then I will tear you apart from the root."

She took a step forward, leaving no ripples beneath her feet, yet it seemed as if she were stepping on an invisible spine of cause and effect. The silver-white blade moved with her will, and wherever it passed, bubbles collapsed before they could even take shape. For the first time, a "real crack" was forcibly torn open in the depths of the abyss.

The crack wasn't huge, but it pointed directly to the faintly visible, constantly self-repairing core of the Fate Soul on the chest of the Three Nether Yin Puppets.

The Three Nether Yin Puppets showed a noticeable reaction for the first time.

Its Wheel-less tightened slightly, as if realizing that this attack could not be ignored, and the spread of the Bubble Shadow Tribulation slowed down for a moment.

And it was at this very moment that Qin Yu's voice rang out beside Jin Hanyan. "Now!"

He had long abandoned the idea of directly confronting the Bubble Shadow Tribulation. At the same time that Jin Hanyan tore open that rift, the power within Qin Yu's body suddenly reversed. He no longer allowed the supernatural power to "take shape," but instead compressed it to the Threshold point where it was about to be born but not yet completed.

The next moment, he raised his sword.

The Silent Origin Stainless Sword did not emit any dazzling light; instead, it appeared unusually restrained. However, the moment the sword's edge pointed forward, all the unbroken bubbles in the abyss simultaneously appeared with strange double images—as if their "future forms" had been severed prematurely.

Qin Yu uttered four words in a low voice, but they were crystal clear in this world.

"Cause and Effect Deconstruction."

This sword strike was not aimed at the physical form of the Three Nether Yin Puppets, but rather followed the crack torn open by Jin Hanyan, directly cutting into the causal structure surrounding the stable core of its Fate Soul. The moment the sword strike landed, the entire Soul-Sealing Abyss seemed to be paused, and the spread of the Bubble Shadow Tribulation showed obvious misalignment. Some of the light bubbles lost their support and annihilated on their own before they even burst.

For the first time, the figure of the Three Nether Yin Puppets showed a substantial tremor.

It slowly lowered its head, looking at the crack on its chest that was being eroded by the Light of Stainlessness and the Silent Origin Sword. Its tone remained indifferent, but it carried a chilling aura of having its very essence touched.

"... interesting."

The Soul-Sealing Abyss suddenly fell silent.

It wasn't quiet; rather, the concept of "continuity" was forcibly severed. The wind stopped flowing forward, the light stopped spreading, and even the power circulation within Qin Yu and Jin Hanyan's bodies experienced an extremely eerie "pause" in that instant, as if they had been forcibly cut out from the river of time.

The Three Nether Yin Puppets slowly raised its arms. At this moment, its figure was no longer stable, but instead began to exhibit a blurry state that was almost "without beginning Endless," as if its very existence was fading away. Above the Abyss, rings of gray-white Annihilation Pattern spread out layer by layer, each ring vaguely reflecting countless fragmented scenes of cultivation—the "past" and "future" that had been forcibly captured.

Its voice was deep and flat, yet it seemed to directly pronounce the verdict.

"Beginningless and Endless Stillness."

The moment the words left his mouth, Qin Yu felt a jolt in his chest, and an unprecedented chill spread from the depths of his Fate Soul. He clearly sensed that his connection with time was being forcibly severed—not slowed down, not blocked, but rather determined to be "no longer needed to exist at any point in time."

At that moment, all the accumulated spiritual practice seemed to be shrouded in mist; all possible future deductions also faded and collapsed rapidly, as if they had never been allowed to continue being written in the first place.

Jin Hanyan was also under terrifying pressure. The Light of Stainlessness vibrated violently around her. The originally pure and complete radiance was now being cut into countless broken segments by the power of the Beginningless and Endless Stillness, as if it had been forcibly separated from "continuous existence".

"This is... a divine power that directly severs the cultivator's connection to the timeline." Jin Hanyan's eyes narrowed suddenly, and she realized that if this attack were to land completely, both she and Qin Yu would have their "origin" erased and their "path back" sealed, turning them into empty shells at his mercy.

Just as the Beginningless and Endless Stillness gray-white domain was about to completely close, Qin Yu suddenly took a step forward.

Instead of resisting that decisive force, he made an extremely dangerous choice deep within his Fate Soul —actively severing his dependence on "future predictions." All unexplored possibilities were personally suppressed into the deepest part of his body, leaving only an absolutely clear "present anchor point."

"Since you want to sever my past and future..." Qin Yu spoke in a low voice, his tone unusually calm within the Realm of Annihilation, "Then I will only stand in the present."

The next instant, the power within him suddenly reversed, no longer moving forward or backward, but collapsing entirely at this moment. The Silent Origin Stainless Sword resonated, and the space around its blade showed extremely subtle yet fatal distortions—not cracks in time, but a stress response to the forced compression of cause and effect.

This is precisely Qin Yu's countermeasure against the Beginningless and Endless Stillness: instead of fighting against time, he makes himself a "Zero Realm node" that time can no longer judge.

Just as the Three Nether Yin Puppets's attention was diverted by Qin Yu's unusual behavior, Jin Hanyan made her move.

She took a deep breath, her eyes turning completely cold.

The Light of Stainlessness ceased its outward expansion; instead, it rapidly reclaimed and condensed within her body. All the fragmented radiance was forcibly superimposed and reconstructed in a near-self-destructive manner. It wasn't restoration, but a reverse superposition—reforging the severed fragments of existence into a pure and Ultimate "Stainless Core."

"Beginningless Endless..." Jin Hanyan murmured softly, her tone carrying a sharp sarcasm, "You sever time, but you yourself—are not truly Beginningless."

She raised her hand, and in her palm, a condensed silver-white mark, almost devoid of any radiance, slowly took shape. It was not an attack form, but a reflective mark that revealed the essence of things.

In an instant, the entire abyss seemed to be forcibly turned upside down.

Within the gray-white realm constructed by the Beginningless and Endless Stillness, the seemingly "without beginning Endless" existence of the Three Nether Yin Puppets was fully revealed for the first time—under the Limit illumination of the Light of Stainlessness, its deliberately hidden "stable core" was exposed. It was not truly Beginningless Endless, but rather a Fate Soul Anchor Point that was constantly being reset and repaired.

Jin Hanyan's voice was clear and cold at this moment.

You are not Beginningless Endless.

She took a step forward, and the silvery-white mark suddenly pushed forward.

"You've just been repeatedly disguised as Beginningless Endless."

The moment the mark landed, there was no explosion, no shockwave, not even a loud sound. But the chest of the Three Nether Yin Puppets suddenly collapsed, as if a piece had been forcibly ripped from its very definition.

The realm of Beginningless and Endless Stillness shattered with a deafening roar.

The gray and white patterns scattered and collapsed like a shattered mirror. Time and cause and effect flowed back. Qin Yu felt the pressure deep in his Fate Soul suddenly dissipate, and for the first time, the figure of the Three Nether Yin Puppets showed obvious signs of disintegration.

It staggered backward, its ethereal outline trembling violently, and the light of the stable core of its Fate Soul in its chest dimmed rapidly, clearly indicating that it had suffered severe damage.

Deep within the abyss, an aura of Annihilation surged ceaselessly.

But at this moment, for the first time, the scales of victory and defeat have truly tipped in favor of Qin Yu and Jin Hanyan.

The figure of the Three Nether Yin Puppets slowly rose from the depths of the Soul-Sealing Abyss. For the first time, its face, which had been as empty as a dead object, showed a distorted emotional fluctuation. In its empty eye sockets, the Light of Stainlessness suddenly surged, as if being suppressed by a Void Emanation Realm being and a woman of the Stainless Realm was an unforgivable desecration.

The next instant, the Fate Soul structure within its body shattered and then reformed, the third form of judgment was forcibly released, and the entire Abyss was as if it had been pressed into the boundary between absolute purity and absolute destruction by an invisible hand.

The Light of Stainlessness spread from its surface, its radiance not intense, but calm and pure to the point of being chilling. Wherever it passed, the stench of corruption, the lingering curse marks, and the disordered chains of laws were smoothed and erased layer by layer. Even the not-yet-fully-healed cracks in space slowly closed in the light, and the wrinkles of time were ironed out Wuhen. At this moment, the "Clear and Turbid Pure Realm" was fully formed—a pure realm that was neither existent nor nonexistent descended upon the world. Heaven and earth seemed to have been reset to a state where "contamination was not yet permitted." The Three Nether Yin Puppets itself was completely integrated into the Light of Stainlessness, its form dissipating and its outline disappearing, transforming into an existence that was "unassailable." Any external force that struck it was like striking a reflection of the moon in water, unable to even stir a ripple.

Immediately following, a deep, hollow rumble reverberated from the depths of the domain, as if some colder, more sinister will was beginning to surge. The Three Nether Yin Puppets reversed the principle of Stainless, igniting "purification" in the opposite direction. Colorless flames suddenly rose between heaven and earth. These flames did not burn the physical body, but directly reflected the most unyielding obsessions deep within the soul. "Obsession Burns the Heavens" descended, and countless afterimages appeared in the flames—the thirst for power, the obsession with life, the persistence in protecting, were infinitely magnified, stretched, and materialized, like mirrors reflecting back to the cultivators themselves. The deeper the obsession, the fiercer the flames. The soul was burned away bit by bit in the flames of Stainless, turning into wisps of blue smoke. Even the pain did not have time to fully take shape before returning to nothingness.

Qin Yu felt a roar in his sea of consciousness, as if the causal threads deep within his Fate Soul were forcibly pulled out and ignited, as if to burn away all the obsessions he had accumulated along the way. He took a step forward, forcibly stabilizing the structure of his Fate Soul, compressing the flow of the "Void Evolution Jiwu" within his body to its Limit, causing the sea of logic to surge, yet it never collapsed. Just as the fire of obsession was about to invade deeper layers, an extremely quiet voice rang out from within the flames.

"Return to the Unjudged the Chaos Undivided, Heaven and Earth Judged...

Jin Hanyan slowly raised her right hand, her index finger not pointing, but simply hanging gently at her side. No oppressive aura erupted from her, yet the instant she uttered those words, the Heavenly Obsession Burns the Heavens unleashed by the Three Nether Yin Puppets visibly regressed—the already formed Stainless Flame seemed to be forcibly pulled back to a state of "not yet unleashed," the flame contracting in reverse in the air, the projection of obsession rapidly fading and disintegrating, then surging back into the Three Nether Yin Puppets's own Fate Soul structure as if in retaliation. For the first time, the Stainless Principle experienced violent disruption, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of the Clear and Turbid Pure Realm's light barrier.

Immediately afterwards, Jin Hanyan stepped into the depths of the domain, and the world beneath her feet seemed to return to the moment before chaos was divided. She raised her hand, pointed a finger lightly, and although there was no light at her fingertip, something more ancient than "existence" was directly stripped away.

"Nameless." Return to Silence - Nameless Finger

The instant that finger fell, the Fate Soul of the Three Nether Yin Puppets trembled. The originally stable, Stainless light within the Clear and Turbid Pure Realm collapsed layer by layer. The core of judgment that sustained its "formless Formless" nature was forcibly stripped of its "name," losing its self-consistent definition. The Light of Stainlessness began to collapse, and the entire domain shattered from the center outwards like a white curtain being overturned. The figure of the Three Nether Yin Puppets was forcibly knocked from the light and crashed heavily into the dark rock layers deep within the Abyss, causing the entire space to tremble.

Taking advantage of the situation, Qin Yu unleashed the full power of his Fate Soul Order Adjudication, firmly locking down the momentary opening and preventing it from rebuilding its defenses. The Three Nether Yin Puppets's body twitched slowly on the ground, its Fate Soul Structure visibly crumbling, as if it would be completely erased in the next instant.

However, at that very moment, its chest cavity suddenly split open, and an extremely strange source was forcibly drawn from the depths of the void. That source was neither pure nor complete, like a remnant that had been repeatedly gnawed, yet it carried a chilling "subjective will." The Three Nether Yin Puppets opened its mouth and swallowed it, its broken Fate Soul frantically reorganizing, and its torn body forcibly stitched together.

It slowly raised its head, its voice echoing in the abyss, filled with utterly out-of-control madness.

"You... are not yet able to completely Annihilation me."

"Now, I will show you the Orthodox God bestowed upon me by my master."
