Qin Yu Reverses Cause and Effect with One Sword Strike

On the other side, Hua Yin slowly lowered his right hand, a smile playing on his lips. "Boy," he said, "This is the true Great Dao of Logic. What you just saw was merely a superficial manifestation I conjured at will. Now, how can you possibly break through it?"

Qin Yu did not answer. He slowly raised the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, and within his sea of consciousness, the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel vibrated simultaneously. The Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram unfolded fully once more. At the same time, Qin Yu's left hand slowly formed a seal, and an ancient incantation slowly condensed. "Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence." "First Form." "Fate Cause Sealing Mirror - Logic Abyss Core."

Whoosh—A dark golden mirror of destiny suddenly appeared behind Qin Yu, within which countless threads of cause and effect continuously emerged. At the same time, Qin Yu's right hand gently vibrated the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, and a gray-white sword intent slowly condensed on its blade. "Silent Origin Stainless Sword." "Second Form." "Causeless Disillusionment Sword." Boom!

At this moment, the Mirror of Fate illuminated the heavens and the earth, and the gray-white sword light pierced through the void. The Mirror of Fate froze the source of logic, while the sword light directly slashed at the countless causal Fate Ring. For the first time, the two great divine powers truly merged. Qin Yu did not rush to kill Hua Yin, but instead used the Fate Cause Sealing Mirror to freeze the logical chain in Hua Yin's divine power layer by layer, and then used the Causeless Disillusionment Sword to continuously sever those rearranged causal nodes.

With each swing of the sword, large swaths of gray-gold Fate Ring shattered, yet in the next instant, those broken Fate Ring spontaneously reformed. A new chain of logic was born. Hua Yin stood in the distance, hands behind his back, his expression indifferent. "It's useless." "The causal relationship of the Fate Soul cannot be ended by severing one link." "As long as the logic remains," "it can continuously reconstruct itself."

Qin Yu's Fate Soul patterns rapidly deduced in his eyes, and he continuously swung the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, leaving one gray-white sword mark after another crisscrossing the heavens and earth. The Fate Cause Sealing Mirror frantically froze the logical nodes that Hua Yin had re-evolved. Finally, with a deafening roar, most of the Fate Ring covering Qin Yu's body completely collapsed.

The entire ancient house trembled violently. However, just as the last layer of Fate Soul karma was about to be completely broken, Hua Yin suddenly raised his right hand and gently pointed with his index finger. "Reverse." With just one word, the last gray-gold Fate Ring instantly reversed, and the Great Dao of Logic, which had been weakened to less than 30% of its power, once again pierced through the Fate Cause Sealing Mirror.

The sword landed directly on Qin Yu's Fate Soul, causing Qin Yu to shudder violently. A trickle of blood slowly spilled from the corner of his mouth. The aura of the Great Dao surged violently in his chest. Even the origin of his Fate Soul trembled slightly. He retreated more than ten steps, Silent Origin Stainless Sword slowly pierced the ground before he could stabilize himself.

Hua Yin was also slightly out of breath, clearly having exhausted himself greatly with this divine power. However, when he saw that Qin Yu had only suffered minor injuries, a hint of shock still flashed in his eyes. But quickly, that shock transformed into arrogance. He raised his head and looked up at the night sky, his eyebrows raised high. His eyes were full of arrogance that looked down on all living beings. Then he burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha--" "Junior!" "How about it?" "You think you can see through my Great Dao of Logic and Rules?" "What a joke!" "You only weakened your supernatural power just now." "But in the end," "you were still injured by my Great Dao!" "Now," "do you still think you can defeat me?"

Qin Yu used the Silent Origin Stainless Sword to support his body. A trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth slowly slid down his chin and finally dripped onto the bluestone ground, splashing into a dark red blood flower. The gray-gold Dao rhyme remaining from the Fate Sequence Reverse Writing still lingered deep within his Fate Soul. Fine, hair-like causal lines slowly traveled along his Dao foundation, attempting to rearrange the origin he had cultivated in the past.

Qin Yu closed his eyes to suppress his surging blood and qi. At this moment Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel deep within the Ring Master Soul Diagram simultaneously accelerated their rotation, separating the logical Daoist rhyme that had invaded his body layer by layer. The previous confrontation kept replaying in his consciousness, from Hua Yin raising his finger to activate the life sequence, to the reversal of the last gray-gold Fate Ring, and then to the brief delay that occurred when his two great divine abilities connected with each other. Every change in the origin was completely reflected by the Ring Master Soul Diagram.

A moment later, Qin Yu opened his eyes. Although his eyes still bore a trace of the pallor from his injuries, his expression had regained its composure. He thought to himself, "Damn it, could this be the difference in cultivation level? If my cultivation had also reached the Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme, that attack just now would have shattered it completely."

The thought had barely crossed his mind when his gaze fell upon the still-burning logic Dao pattern between Hua Yin's brows. The parts he hadn't been able to see clearly before were now fully revealed after the injury. The key to Hua Yin's ability to bypass external defenses through Fate Sequence Reverse Writing wasn't how many causal relationships were altered, but rather that he had concealed his own will behind each "reverse rewrite."

When a logical chain is broken, the will hidden deep within the result will immediately replace the original source, causing new cause and effect to continue to extend. The last word "reverse" was the second Fate Soul will that Hua Yin left deep within the supernatural power.

Qin Yu slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his five fingers gripping the sword gradually tightening, all his deductions converging in one place. "So that's how it is. The true core of your Fate Soul's logic was never placed on the initial cause, but hidden behind each result. As long as the result still exists, you can continuously add new causes to it. Next time, I will no longer pursue your cause and effect layer by layer to sever them."

Hua Yin stood at the other end of the old house. Seeing Qin Yu recover his Fate Soul so quickly after being injured, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by a deeper arrogance. He had also consumed a lot of his source energy when he used the Fate Sequence Reverse Writing earlier. His right hand under his wide sleeves trembled slightly, but his face did not show any signs of fatigue. Instead, taking advantage of the fact that Qin Yu had not completely cleared the residual Daoist charm in his body, he took three steps forward in succession.

With each step, a layer of color in the courtyard quietly faded; when the third step was taken, the green bamboo lost its verdant hue, the lights of the ancient house turned a ghastly white, and even the blood that Qin Yu dripped onto the ground turned into a cold, lifeless gray.

Hua Yin slowly spread his hands, palms facing the sky. The Dao pattern between his eyebrows split from one to twelve, then spread along his cheeks, neck and arms, finally condensing behind him into an ancient Dao tree with pale branches and black leaves.

There were no ordinary flowers on the tree crown. Each branch was adorned with a closed gray-gold life cocoon. Inside the cocoon, traces of Qin Yu's Fate Soul at different stages were reflected: his obsession as a youth, the Dao traces when he broke through realms, and the origin that returned to stillness when he entered the Eternal Silence Realm. All of these were drawn into the depths of the Dao Tree by thin, long threads.

Hua Yin looked up at the ancient tree formed from his own Great Dao of Logic, his eyes no longer showing any of the previous probing. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest and shouted in a deep voice, "Flower— Cause Master Transposition, Ten Thousand Effects Bury Fate!"

This supernatural power uses the enemy's entire experience as branches, the Fate Soul and foundation as trunk, and countless unfulfilled results as flowers. Hua Yin doesn't need to continue modifying the cause and effect that Qin Yu already possesses; he will directly occupy the "result position" in Qin Yu's cause and effect, so that every breath Qin Yu takes, every time he circulates his origin, and every time he has the intention to fight back, will prematurely bear a death fruit written by Hua Yin himself.

As long as Qin Yu leaves any trace of his Fate Soul in this world, that trace will become nourishment for the growth of the Dao Tree; as long as Qin Yu still acknowledges his past experiences, cultivation, and identity, those past experiences will, in turn, become the roots that bury him.

This technique is especially terrifying for those with a profound foundation in the Dao and a complete Fate Soul. The longer one cultivates, the more Daos one possesses, and the greater the causal energy that the Dao Tree can absorb. Once all the life cocoons bloom at the same time, the target's physical body, Fate Soul, origin, memories, cultivation, and future will be forcibly converged into the same result— Annihilation.

As Hua Yin finished his final hand seal, the pale Dao tree behind him suddenly shot into the sky, its branches piercing through the night sky sealed by the Slaughter and Cause-Trapping Formation, and tens of thousands of dark petals slowly drifted down from above.

The petals fell without a sound, and each area they passed through lost its original cause-and-effect connection: the old house door detached from its hinges but did not fall; the stone lantern in the courtyard was still burning brightly but could no longer illuminate its surroundings; the bamboo leaves were gently brushed by the petals and then faded away from the branches, the soil, the years, and the traces of growth.

Immediately afterwards, the life cocoons hanging on the tree canopy opened one by one, and the Qin Yu reflected inside turned his head at the same time. Countless gazes that were exactly the same as his turned gazes crossed the past and the future and fell on the real Qin Yu.

Qin Yu suddenly felt a heaviness in his chest. The Fate Soul essence within his body, which had not yet calmed down, abruptly lost its original flow. The cause and effect that had just been severed by the Causeless Disillusionment Sword began to entangle him again, and a layer of gray-gold patterns grew on the outer side of the Ring Master Soul Diagram. These patterns did not forcibly invade the soul diagram, but instead spread rapidly along every connection between him and the world, preparing to use the entire world as its root to drag him into the Tree of Logic.

"Once this technique is mastered, every action you take will bring you a death consequence." Hua Yin stood beneath the pale Dao tree, arms outstretched, his robes billowing in countless gray-gold petals, his eyes filled with an all-encompassing indifference. "If you draw your sword, the Sword Fruit will first bury your sword path; if you activate your Fate Soul, the Soul Fruit will bury your soul diagram; if you stop moving, the Silent Fruit will similarly bury you beneath the myriad fruits along your connection with heaven and earth."

"Young man, I have already given you a chance to live, but you pushed it away yourself. Now, even if you understand this technique, you don't have enough cultivation to escape from it."

Qin Yu did not respond, but the Ring Master Soul Diagram fully unfolded at this moment. The Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel rose layer by layer from behind him, with True Evolution Dao Patterns intertwining and flowing within the wheels, reflecting all the connections between the pale Dao Tree, the pitch-black petals, the gray-gold life cocoon, and Hua Yin's Fate Soul.

The third supernatural power is far more dangerous than the first two. Hua Yin has given up on rewriting cause and effect line by line and has begun to directly seize the ownership of the result. Any means of tracing the source along conventional cause and effect will be written into the fruit of defeat by that Dao tree in advance.

Qin Yu slowly raised his sword-wielding hand, while his other hand formed the ancient hand seal of the Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence in front of his chest. The last trace of warmth in his eyes vanished, replaced by a cold gaze like a broken blade, and his back gradually straightened amidst the swirling black flowers.

"You've only temporarily suppressed my true power by virtue of your superior cultivation level," Qin Yu said indifferently, his voice carrying clearly through the falling petals to Hua Yin's ears. "But you don't know that my supernatural abilities cannot be suppressed simply by cultivation level."

Hua Yin's gaze darkened, and his right hand pressed forward. The entire pale Dao Tree trembled violently, and thousands of life cocoons bloomed simultaneously. There was no deafening explosion, only a sudden darkness in the entire world. Countless pitch-black flowers bloomed along the trajectory of Qin Yu's past and future Fate Soul, and in the heart of each flower emerged an abyss that buried the Great Dao.

Qin Yu stepped forward amidst the black rain of flowers that was enough to bury him completely at the end of his Fate Soul. The Silent Origin Stainless Sword was held horizontally in front of him, and the meaning of causelessness on the blade condensed into a straight gray-white ray of light. At the same time, the ancient seal of Order Adjudication formed by his left hand slowly turned over, and the dark gold Fate Ring rose from his feet. Chain shadows passed through the layered sea of flowers, accurately locking onto the key components in the pale Dao Tree that were responsible for connecting the results and replacing the source cause.

"Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence - Six Severances Seal - Orbital Collapse Lock - Chain Annihilation."

As soon as the words fell, the sky above the ancient house, which was covered by black flowers, suddenly cracked open. Countless dark gold chains fell from the depths of the crack, each chain wrapped with broken star trails. Within the star trails, the complete trajectory of Hua Yin's third divine power flowing from the will of his Fate Soul to the myriad dead fruits appeared.

The chains did not chase after the already blooming flowers of death, but bypassed all the petals, directly locking the twelve most crucial transition points within the pale Dao Tree. Qin Yu's Silent Origin Stainless Sword followed closely behind, its Causeless Disillusionment Sword Intent rushing upwards along the dark gold chains, illuminating Hua Yin's Fate Soul will hidden behind each result.

The gray-white sword light and the dark gold Fate Ring converged in the sky, transforming into a huge Order Adjudication star wheel that spanned the inside and outside of the ancient house. Wherever the edge of the wheel passed, the black petals were lifted layer by layer, and fine cracks appeared on the branches of the pale Dao tree for the first time.

Hua Yin's arrogance suddenly froze. He made continuous changes with his palms, trying to move the locked result transfer point back into another life cocoon. However, the dark gold chain tightened along the entire trajectory of the supernatural power at the same time. The twelve transfer points were interconnected. If one was moved, the other eleven would be exposed.

Qin Yu did not stop. The Silent Origin Stainless Sword advanced once more, and the gray-white sword intent continued to penetrate deeper along the manifested will of the Fate Soul. A true head-on collision unfolded between the sky full of death fruits formed by Hua Yin's third divine power and the Orbital Collapse Lock.

With each bloom of the flower of death, a piece of Qin Yu's Fate Soul connection is dragged into the abyss; with each tightening of the dark gold chains, a point where the logic of the outcome loses its extension.

The entire ancient house swayed violently between the black sea of flowers and the dark gold star wheel. The eaves, courtyard, and bamboo forest were reflected in layers of interwoven scenery by the two great roads. The outer light screen of the Slaughter and Cause-Trapping Formation also appeared, sealing all the bursting Daoist energy within this isolated world.

Without a trace of hesitation in Qin Yu's eyes, the sword tip steadily pointed to the unopened cocoon of destiny deep within the pale Dao Tree. There, the true core of Hua Yin's third divine power was contained, and it was also the only destination to which all the dead fruits belonged.

Hua Yin also noticed his gaze, and his face finally turned completely gloomy. His old hand clenched tightly, and all the black flowers pressed down on Qin Yu at the same time. The two people's Dao of Fate Soul and Great Dao of Logic collided completely at this moment. Gray and white sword light, dark gold chains, pale ancient trees and black flowers all over the sky swallowed each other. The entire closed ancient house instantly turned into a storm of Dao principles that was enough to bury cultivators of the Eternal Silence Realm.
