Ten Thousand Thunderbolts Descend, Judgment of the Firmament

Deep within the Thoughtless Burial Domain, the gray-white sky hangs overhead like an unfinished scripture, with scattered traces of thought and fragments of abandoned will in the wind.

As Qin Yu walked out of the Thought Hall, the hall doors slowly closed behind him, and the lingering remnants of his spirit receded like a tide, returning to silence. He did not turn around, but simply looked south.

There, the sky to the south of the Thought Burial Domain was even darker, as if some lingering, indelible trace of logic was writhing deep within.

He walked on air. With each step he took, the traces of thought in the air automatically separated.

The mountains along the way are twisted, and translucent remnants of thoughts hang on the dead trees, like countless severed dreams.

Suddenly, a deep roar echoed from the canyon ahead, and the ground abruptly cracked open.

A monster formed from psychic power slowly crawled out of the abyss. It had no fixed shape, and its head seemed to exist only in a vague way.

The body is made up of countless "unfinished thoughts".

Every inch of his body was changing. One moment he was a sword, the next a man, and then a collapsing city.

Its aura doesn't belong to the pure Severed Thought Realm. It's more like the remnants left after the collapse of the Severed Thought Realm 'Thought Sea thoughts.

"The remnants of the Netherworld, is it?" Qin Yu said calmly. The monster let out a piercing shriek, and countless blades of mental energy shot out from the surrounding void.

Each blade of thought attempted to sever his thoughts. His sea of consciousness trembled slightly. The illusory image of the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel appeared behind him.

Qin Yu did not retreat. He raised his hand, and the Silent Origin Stainless Sword was already in his palm. The sword's edge was without light, yet it possessed an extremely clean and chilling aura.

"Soulless Annihilation Abyss Sword." The sword rose. The sword fell. An extremely thin sword mark pierced through the canyon.

The monster's body froze amidst the sword wounds. All thoughts vanished instantly. The next moment, it crumbled away with a deafening roar, leaving no trace.

There was no echo. Utter Annihilation. The air returned to calm. Yet—in the place where the monster had vanished.

A wisp of extremely strange energy lingered. That energy was neither psychic power nor causality, but rather some kind of purer "structure."

It resembles a transparent droplet of water suspended in the air, yet its interior subtly reflects the folds of space and the layers of time.

Qin Yu's gaze narrowed slightly. He raised his hand and used his knowledge of cause and effect to trace the source. Within the water droplet, a subtle line of cause and effect quietly extended.

Heading south, deeper still, Qin Yu followed the trail without hesitation. The valley deepened, and the air began to feel damp.

In the distance, a blue-purple glow illuminated the night sky. The sound of the waterfall gradually became clearer. The moment he stepped into the valley...

The image of the waterfall came into view. Ancient trees stood like dragons atop the cliff, and purple petals fell like stars.

The waterfall cascades down like a celestial river. Tiny particles of light shimmer in the water, each drop containing a logical trajectory.

Qin Yu's pupils contracted slightly. "The Logic Origin... there's such a wonderful thing?"

He sat cross-legged beneath the waterfall. The water crashed down, but it was no longer an ordinary impact; instead, countless structural runes pierced through his entire body.

When the first wisp of primordial energy entered his body, his meridians instantly lit up with a silvery glow, and his sea of consciousness trembled.

The original structure of the Severed Thought Realm · Middle Stage began to loosen. Waterfall-like light particles seeped into it through the pores. Each light particle was reshaping the boundary of the Thought Sea.

Severed Thought Realm · Advanced Stage. Thoughts become thinner. The gaps between thoughts widen. The waterfall's flow becomes increasingly bright.

His bones resonated deeply. The illusory Dharma wheel spun wildly. The Ultimate.

The boundary between thought and non-thought disappeared. A pure and clear space appeared at the center of the sea of consciousness. The waterfall's water column suddenly thickened.

A beam of purple-blue light pierced through the body, causing the entire valley to tremble. Petals exploded in mid-air, scattering into a rain of light.

Qin Yu looked up. A phantom of world change appeared in the flowing water: the collapse of an era, the reconstruction of laws, and the cycle of logic.

He did not resist. He fully absorbed it. A certain constraint deep within his sea of consciousness finally shattered. Boom— the Severed Thought Realm · Supreme.

The aura suddenly subsided. The waterfall's flow became gentle, as if in acknowledgment.

Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes. A purple-blue light swirled in his pupils. He chuckled softly. "This Thoughtless Burial Domain —truly a treasure trove of rare gems."

"I've found the Logic Origin, the waterfall." He flipped his hand and took out a vessel.

The vessel was entirely black, yet its interior spun like a starry sea. "Hehe."

"While this thing can't help me break through to a higher realm now," it's incredibly nourishing for damaged Fate Soul essence.

"Pack it up. You must pack it up and take it with you." He formed a hand seal, and the waterfall suddenly flowed backward.

The entire beam of light began to shrink. The petals of light rained back. The pool water churned.

The purplish-blue essence was extracted into a massive vortex. Runes were densely packed within the vortex, and logical lines were stripped away one by one.

The valley's radiance dimmed rapidly. The waterfall vanished, leaving only a dry, broken cliff. All the essence was compressed into a purplish-blue light core.

Qin Yu stored it in a vessel. Inside the vessel, the starry sea surged. The light core sank into the core. The next instant...

With a thought, the vessel vanished, its contents now stored in the storage crystal core: Annihilation Devil Pupil - Final Spirit Core.

The valley returned to its ordinary state, devoid of any extraordinary sights. Qin Yu slowly stood up, his aura calm and composed, displaying the restrained yet sharp power of the Severed Thought Realm · Supreme.

Qin Yu withdrew his divine sense, Logic Origin within his body was as calm and unwavering as an abyss. He looked up into the distance.

Just now, as the waterfall was being absorbed, a very thin beam of golden light flashed by at the edge of the valley and the sky.

The light was pure and sharp, unlike the fluctuations of ordinary supernatural powers. It was more like the instantaneous brilliance that tore through the heavens and earth when some extraordinary treasure was born.

"Could it be another rare treasure?" Qin Yu narrowed his eyes. After a moment, he chuckled. "If we went there now, there probably wouldn't even be any trace left."

The golden light vanished too quickly. If there had truly been a powerful figure present, they would likely have already seized all the opportunities.

He raised his hand and brushed away a trace of purplish-blue dust from his shoulder.

"Thoughtless Burial Domain is so vast." "Let's see if there are any others." The words fell.

He walked on air, his figure like a streak of light flashing through the night, flying deeper into the Southern Region of the Thoughtless Burial Domain.

The further south you go, the darker it gets. The originally gray sky gradually turns deep purple.

A faint, lingering smell of decay filled the air. The ground was crisscrossed with cracks, and the withered trees twisted like ghostly claws.

The mountain range in the distance resembled the collapsed skeleton of a giant beast, until a canyon came into view.

The canyon is extremely deep. The cliffs on both sides are steep and as if cut by a knife. The rock walls are covered with dark cracks, as if they were torn apart by some destructive force.

A mist filled the valley floor. It wasn't white mist, but rather a swirling mist of dark blue and purple, with the sound of the wind echoing through the canyon.

It wasn't like a natural breeze; it was more like a low murmur, as if countless lingering regrets echoed repeatedly between the stone walls.

The air temperature plummeted. The rocks beneath his feet gleamed faintly with a cold light. Qin Yu landed slowly, stepping into the canyon. With each step, he landed...

The ground trembled slightly, as if in response. The canyon narrowed as you went deeper, with the rock walls on both sides gradually closing in.

Only a narrow slit remained in the sky. Through that slit, the night was deep, as if something was looking down upon us.

Qin Yu's gaze remained calm. He sensed a powerful pressure gathering within him.

Just then, the sky split open. The narrow crack in the sky suddenly expanded, as if it had been ripped open by an invisible giant hand.

Dark purple clouds churned and swirled like vortexes in the center of the sea of clouds.

A gigantic face slowly emerged. The face was not a physical entity, but rather formed from interwoven clouds and lightning.

The outline is blurred, but the eyes and mouth/nose are clearly discernible. The eyes are as deep as two black holes in the starry sky.

The river of time flowed within his pupils. Fragments of runes flickered along the edges of his face, as if the entire sky had transformed into a gigantic face overlooking the canyon.

Qin Yu looked up, meeting the gaze of that enormous face. The air seemed to freeze instantly. The next moment, boom—

The entire canyon suddenly trembled. Countless cracks appeared in the ground, and blinding lightning shot out from the fissures. But it was no ordinary lightning.

The first bolt of lightning struck, carrying the power of time. Wherever the lightning passed, rocks aged for a thousand years in an instant, turning to dust.

The second bolt of lightning pierced the canyon, tearing space into countless fragments. The fragments danced like mirrors, only to reassemble themselves in mid-air.

The third bolt of lightning resembled a blood-red spear, imbued with the meaning of life and death. Where it struck, rocks turned into withered bones.

The next instant, it was reborn as rock. Immediately following—Causal Thunder, Five Elements Thunder, Yin-Yang Thunder, Destiny Thunder, Reincarnation Thunder, Void Thunder, Rule Thunder, Logic Thunder.

Narrative of devastating lightning. Countless pillars of lightning erupted from all around the canyon. Each one was like divine punishment. The lightning did not strike down.

Instead, they intertwined, crisscrossed, and twisted, as if the sky had been torn into countless dimensions, with lightning flashing simultaneously across different time layers.

The thunder of the past, the thunder of the future, and the thunder currently falling—all combine to form a destructive storm.

In the center of the canyon, Qin Yu stood amidst a sea of lightning. The enormous face within the purplish-black clouds slowly opened its mouth, but no sound came out.

It seemed to herald a judgment. Thunder roared, and the entire canyon resembled a giant trial court.

Rockfall, space curvature, and time reversal and acceleration occur simultaneously.

Lightning formed a swirling storm around Qin Yu, engulfing his figure. The world seemed to be engulfed in an apocalypse.

And he stood silently in the center. Thunder surged and lightning roared. The canyon repeatedly cycled between collapse and reshaping.

Time lightning descended from the heavens, turning rocks to dust upon impact, only to instantly solidify back to their original state; spatial lightning traversed the heavens and earth, tearing the air into countless mirror-like fragments.

Life and death lightning intertwined, withering and flourishing appearing simultaneously; causal lightning coiled around the mountain walls like chains; the five elements lightning transformed into crimson flames, icy ice, golden blades, wooden vines, and thick earth, bombarding the mountain at the same time.

Yin-Yang lightning transforms into black and white twin fish, swirling and devouring; Destiny lightning, like threads, pierces through heaven and earth; Reincarnation lightning layer upon layer;

The Void Thunder strips away all color; the Rule Thunder and the Logic Thunder overlap; the Narrative Killing Thunder, like an invisible pen, writes "Judgment" across heaven and earth.

Qin Yu in the center of the thunderstorm. His robes fluttered in the wind, and his long hair was whipped about by the lightning. The aura of the Severed Thought Realm · Supreme remained as steady as an abyss within his body.

The first bolt of lightning was already upon him. Qin Yu raised his palm. "Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence - Six Severances Seal - Fate Cause Sealing Mirror - Logic Abyss Core."

The palm seal suddenly bloomed. A mirror core as deep as Star Abyss unfolded before him.

The lightning bolt blasted into the mirror core. The lightning vibrated wildly within, forcibly compressing, freezing, and reorganizing the flow of time.

Within the mirror's core, time is sealed as a still point of light. The next instant—

The mirror core closed. The time lightning was sealed, not even touching him in the slightest. The spatial lightning swept in.

The canyon sky shattered into countless dimensional faults, and lightning bolts tore through reality like ten thousand sharp blades.

Qin Yu gripped his sword. The Silent Origin Stainless Sword was drawn. "The Causeless Disillusionment Sword." The sword light was extremely fine, yet incredibly precise. An invisible sword mark slashed across the core of the spatial lightning.

The cause of the spatial lightning was severed. Without cause, there is no effect. The lightning suddenly lost its support in mid-air and turned into countless disordered particles of light.

The causal lightning, like ten thousand chains, tightened from all directions. Each chain of lightning locked onto a node in his destiny.

If touched, one will be dragged into a predetermined end. Qin Yu's eyes darkened.

"Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence - Six Severances Seal - Master Book Seal Severance- Naming Reconstruction"

The hand seal unfolded. The character for "lock" in the chain of causal lightning was forcibly rewritten as "scatter." The ten thousand lightning chains collapsed on their own in mid-air, turning into ashes.

The lightning of life and death and the lightning of destiny descended simultaneously. One perished, while the other was reborn.

While deciding the final outcome, he forcefully pushed forward into the future. The canyon floor completely shattered. Qin Yu remained motionless.

He brought two fingers together. "The Unnamed Initial Silence." He lightly tapped his fingertips. There was no light. There was no sound. But in that instant—the wheel of life and death stopped.

The thread of fate snapped. It was as if the "conditions for existence" had been removed. The two giant bolts of lightning collapsed suddenly when they touched the ground three inches in front of him.

As if it had never existed. The Five Elements Thunder and Yin-Yang Thunder intertwined.

Golden blades, blazing flames, freezing ice, thick earth, and wooden vines erupted simultaneously; the black and white duo spun and devoured the heavens and earth.

Qin Yu exhaled softly. "Void Source Truth Command." The true meaning unfolded in his sea of consciousness.

The power of the five elements was extracted from the illusory structure. The interplay of yin and yang lost its opposing support. Before the thunder could strike, it disintegrated within the Void Source.

Finally, the thunder of narrative slaughter descended. Heaven and earth seemed to be written by an invisible pen.

Giant characters appeared in the sky. "Slash." It wasn't energy; it was "destruction as defined."

Qin Yu slowly raised his head. "Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence - Six Severances Seal - Final Order Interrogation - World Silent Judgment."

The seal spread. The word "Zhan" was forcibly analyzed. Its logic was dismantled. Its premise was interrogated.

His writing authority was taken away. The next breath - the word "Zhan" - broke apart. The narrative thunder lost its support and turned into fragments of light all over the sky.

The entire sea of lightning trembled violently. The giant face of the sky twisted within the purplish-black clouds.

Time stands still. Space heals. Cause and effect recede. Fate breaks. The five elements return to their proper places.

The narrative thread snapped. The lightning crumbled inch by inch. The core of the first stage of the lightning tribulation—

Completely breached. The canyon returned to deathly silence. The rock walls were scorched black. The earth was cracked.

The lingering scent of high-order logic still hung in the air.

Qin Yu slowly sheathed his sword. His aura was calm and steady. The Severed Thought Realm · Supreme had completely solidified within his body.

He looked up at the sky. Deep within the clouds, there seemed to be even deeper fluctuations gathering.

The first stage is merely a test. The true will has not yet arrived.
