Dao-Slaying Annihilation Heavenly Sword Style
Inside the cave, the long river of scriptures continued to slowly rotate, and countless dark purple, pale, and ice-blue characters kept entering Qin Yu's body. At that very moment, a muffled boom suddenly came from the deepest part of his sea of consciousness. The sound seemed to come from the end of the universe, or perhaps from the very beginning of his Fate Soul.
Qin Yu's consciousness, which had been immersed in the scriptures, suddenly jolted. In the next instant, an indescribable gray-white light slowly rose from the depths of his sea of consciousness. It was neither a magic weapon nor a supernatural power, but rather something beyond language and definition. After the light dissipated, an ancient scroll slowly emerged.
The scroll was three feet three inches long, entirely grayish-white, neither silk nor paper, neither jade nor stone, but composed of some substance that Does Not Exist in the world at all. The scroll was blank, without any words or symbols. However, when Qin Yu's gaze fell upon it, the surface of the scroll began to change continuously, in an instant.
He saw countless divine swords shatter simultaneously. The next instant, he saw the endless galaxy flow back to its source. Then, he saw another version of himself standing at the end of the void, slowly handing a sword to him. The scene lasted only a moment, but it stirred up a storm deep within Qin Yu 'Fate Soul. Even more bizarrely, the edges of the scroll were covered with burn marks.
Those scorch marks were clearly there, yet they weren't caused by flames. They were more like damage on a conceptual level. Some incomprehensible force had tried to erase them, but ultimately failed. Just as Qin Yu was staring at the scroll, an ancient aura suddenly surged into the depths of his Fate Soul.
Immediately afterward, a name slowly emerged. "The Heavenly Book of End and Self-Severing." Boom! The moment this name appeared, the entire sea of consciousness trembled instantly, and the Silent Origin Stainless Sword in the distance emitted a deafening sword cry, with countless sword intents soaring into the sky. At the same time, the Dao- Annihilation Sword Divine Power deep within Qin Yu's Fate Soul manifested on its own.
Countless sword lights traversed the heavens and earth, Rules Extinguished, Cause and Effect Severed, Heavenly Mandate Rewritten, All Laws Void, Royal Authority Collapses, Years Turn to Ash, I Am Nothingness. Heaven and earth Heaven and Earth Shattered. The eight sword realms appeared simultaneously, and the entire sea of consciousness transformed into a world of swordsmanship. However, just as the eight realms reached their peak...
In the void, the scroll of the Heavenly Book of End and Self-Severing without wind, its surface completely blank, without a single word or stroke inscribed upon it. But the instant Qin Yu's divine sense touched the surface of the scroll, a vast and ancient sound suddenly filled his entire sea of consciousness.
This sound did not come from the cave's airspace, nor from the outer void; it had no external source. Its origin was deeply rooted in the deepest part of Qin Yu 'Fate Soul, innate and silent for countless ages, and now it finally broke through the soil and made a sound.
"You wield your sword to cleave heaven and earth." "Yet you don't know that 'wielding' itself is a prison." Boom! The first sentence fell, and countless sword shadows within the sea of consciousness began to tremble slightly. "You pursue Annihilation." "Yet you don't know that 'pursuit' is already superfluous." The second sentence fell, and cracks began to appear in the eight realms of the Sword of Annihilation. "This scroll is wordless." "For any single word can be severed." "This scroll Wudao." "For any Dao is a bondage."
With a deafening roar, the entire sea of consciousness shattered, and countless laws of the Great Dao crumbled in succession. The voice still echoed slowly, peaceful and far-reaching, the very origin of the universe gently proclaiming, "If you truly wish to break through," "first sever this scroll," "then sever the fact that you 'severed this scroll' as well."
As the last sentence fell, his entire sea of consciousness fell into dead silence. Qin Yu slowly raised his head and looked at the blank Heavenly Book. And at that moment, he finally understood. The true origin of the Heavenly Book of End and Self-Severing was that of an existence who had cultivated the Sword of Annihilation to its Ultimate. He could sever heaven and earth, sever cause and effect, sever time and space, sever life and death, and even sever reincarnation. But in the end, he could never break through the last step.
Because he was still obsessed with "slaying," he thought he had transcended, but he did not know that the thought of "I am slaying" itself was the final bondage. So, in the ruins of the collapse of all paths, in the deepest crack of his own Dao heart Heavenly Book of End and Self-Severing was born from nothingness. It was not for spreading the Dao, nor for spreading the Dharma. Its only meaning was to exist.
Even if it meant his own annihilation, that the boat used to cross the river should sink to the bottom, and that the finger pointing at the moon should be severed at its root, Qin Yu slowly closed his eyes, and within his sea of consciousness, the sword intent of the Heavenly Book of End and Self-Severing and the Dao-Slaying Sword of Annihilation finally began to resonate with each other. Boom--
A sword cry that resonated through the ages suddenly echoed through the Fate Soul, causing cracks to appear all over the originally perfect Eight Realms Sword Dao, the rules that maintained the Sword Dao to completely Annihilation and the entangled cause and effect to be completely severed and dissipated.
The predetermined destiny was reversed and rewritten, all methods were reduced to nothingness, and the entire Dao-Slaying System disintegrated layer by layer from its root. However, Qin Yu was not panicked at all. On the contrary, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Because he had vaguely seen that after the collapse of the Eight Realms and the complete destruction of all the frameworks of the Dao-Slaying Technique, an even more ancient, Ultimate, and ineffable sword intent was slowly being born. It was an existence that surpassed the original Dao-Slaying Technique: Annihilation Sword, and it Heavenly Book of End and Self-Severing ultimately pointed to.
The Dao Severing · Annihilation Heavenly Sword - Supreme Finality, but at this moment the door had only opened a crack, and Qin Yu had already seen the light behind the door. At the same time, outside the cave, Xiao Yue, who was originally idly guarding the entrance, suddenly opened her eyes wide because she saw a gray-white sword mark that stretched across the sky above the entire cave.
The sword mark carried no oppressive force, yet it stirred a strange tremor deep within her Fate Soul, as if even the very concept of "sword" was being slowly erased by some power. Xiao Yue blinked, then blinked again, before clutching her head. "Has Little Qinzi figured out some weird thing again...?"
Qin Yu sat cross-legged in the center of the cave. Countless Origin Silence Return to Truth Scripture were still circulating within his body. The scripture imprints on his skin flickered, with dark purple, pale white, and ice blue lights intertwining and flowing. At this moment, however, his entire mind had completely sunk into the depths of his sea of consciousness, into the slowly unfolding Heavenly Book of End and Self-Severing.
Everything around vanished—no caves, no scriptures, no heaven and earth, no living beings—only an endless, pale world. And at the edge of this pale expanse, a sword technique silently floated. It was—the Dao-Slaying, Annihilation Sword Technique. Boom—
The moment Qin Yu saw it, the entire pale world suddenly shattered, and countless images appeared simultaneously. He saw himself shatter the rules with a single sword strike, saw the river of cause and effect break, saw billions of spaces collapse, and saw countless Fate Soul Return to the Ruins amidst the sword light. The Rules Extinguished, Cause and Effect Severed, Heavenly Mandate Rewritten, All Laws Void.
With the Royal Authority Collapses and the Heaven and Earth Shattered of Years Turn to Ash, I Am Nothingness. The ultimate technique of shattering the universe—the Nine Realms of Sword Intent of Ten Thousand Daos Return to the Ruins— manifests simultaneously, and the entire sea of consciousness instantly transforms into a world of swords. Countless sword lights pierce through the past and future, billions of Dao traces crumble, and all things in heaven and earth turn to ashes under the sword. Yet, at this very moment, the Heavenly Book of End and Self-Severing slowly unfolds, still without a single word.
But Qin Yu saw it. He saw the sword that cleaved the Dao begin to crack. The first thing to shatter was the Rules Extinguished —countless fragments of rules flew away. Then, the Cause and Effect Severed and effect were severed and began to disintegrate. Countless Cause Splitting turned back into nothingness. Then, Heavenly Mandate Rewritten, All Laws Void, Royal Authority Collapses, Years Turn to Ash, I Am Nothingness.
Heaven and Earth Shattered, Ten Thousand Daos Return to the Ruins, and the nine realms simultaneously began to collapse. Qin Yu's pupils constricted, for he suddenly understood that although these realms were powerful, they always shared a common thread: the act of "severing." The extinction of Rules Extinguished of severing rules; the Cause and Effect Severed was the act of severing cause and effect; the rewriting of fate was the act of severing destiny; the shattering of the universe was the act of severing heaven and earth. But no matter what was severed, it all came down to one word: severing. And "severing" itself was the final cage. Boom—
The entire sea of consciousness suddenly trembled violently, Heavenly Book of End and Self-Severing slowly floated up, hovering in front of Qin Yu. The next moment, the ancient voice rang out again. "You think you are transcending, but you don't know that when you wield the sword, you are already bound by it. You think you are annihilating heaven and earth, but you don't know that the very thought of annihilation is the final shackle."
Boom! Countless sword intents began to backfire, and the entire sword world collapsed madly. At this moment, Qin Yu slowly raised his head, his gaze calm. He finally understood. Then, he reached out, grasped the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, took a step forward, and walked towards the Heavenly Book of End and Self-Severing. At this moment, his entire sea of consciousness trembled wildly because the Heavenly Book was shaking.
The sword trembled, the Fate Soul trembled, as if something unprecedented was about to happen. The next moment, Qin Yu swung his sword without any earth-shattering events or sword light that stretched for billions of miles; it was just an extremely simple sword strike. Poof—The Heavenly Book of End and Self-Severing was split in two, and the entire scroll of the book turned into countless gray-white light spots, slowly dissipating. However, just as the book disappeared...
