Questioning the Mountain, Slash of the Unborn
He raised his eyes and gazed at the gray mountain shadows sinking into the sky. Deep within his Fate Soul, the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram slowly rotated, and the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Ring gradually unfolded, dissecting the legal structure of this world layer by layer.
At this moment, he ignored the overwhelming pressure, disregarded the sword techniques, and did not defend against external forces; he focused solely on understanding the "Initial Fate and fundamental logic" behind the creation of this divine power.
In an instant, the core truth became clear to him. Mountain Tilts, Abyss Falls, not by creating weight out of thin air or forcibly crushing his opponent.
Its fundamental proposition is domineering and unsolvable: existence becomes profound through experience, the more complex the experience, the more real the existence, and the more certain the reality, the more inescapable the burden becomes. The mystery of the Primordial Annihilation Structure is never about creating all things or changing the rules, but about redefining the basis for the continuation of existence.
"I see." Qin Yu murmured softly, his voice clear yet penetrating the oppressive atmosphere, reaching Ju Mohan's ears.
Ju Mohan's gaze sharpened slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Brother Qin, have you seen the root of the problem?" Qin Yu slowly tightened his grip on the ancient longsword in his hand. The Silent Origin Stainless Sword shone serenely, untouched by any worldly dust. He calmly spoke:
"Your proposition on swordsmanship is not wrong. Existence does indeed accumulate an indelible weight through endless experiences." He paused slightly, raised his sword slightly, and his eyes reflected a pure and clear Daoist essence:
"But you've accepted an ironclad rule that doesn't need to be true—existence requires complete acknowledgment and the permanent burden of everything one has experienced." Ju Mohan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the first crack in the law quietly appeared in his heart.
The next instant, Qin Yu drew his sword again, still using the first move of the Silent Origin Stainless Sword - No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword, without any soaring sword light, without any earth-shattering phenomena, and without any overwhelming pressure.
Only an Ultimate, pristine, and serene white sword mark gently swept across the vast void. The first mountain crashed into the sword mark with a bang, and its surface instantly exploded with fine cracks. The mountain trembled incessantly, but it did not collapse or dissipate.
Immediately afterwards, the second, the third, and countless gray mountains pressed down one after another, layer upon layer, endlessly, fully demonstrating the profound foundation of the top-level divine power of Eternal Silence, which was by no means a crude technique that could be broken in one move.
Qin Yu remained motionless, his longsword rising and falling in a continuous stream, each strike landing with Ultimate precision. It did not cleave mountains or resist external pressure, but directly attacked the layers of the divine power's theoretical framework.
The first sword cuts through the shackles of time, stripping away the weight of accumulated years; the second sword severs the entanglements of cause and effect, dismantling the bonds of reincarnation; the third sword strikes the core, shaking the fundamental proposition that "experience defines existence and the past binds oneself," boom!
The sky and mountains trembled violently, and the entire sinking airspace shook violently. The light and shadow of the gray mountains flickered erratically, yet they still steadily covered the sky without collapsing in the slightest. Ju Mohan's expression became completely solemn.
He clearly sensed that his swordsmanship was being analyzed layer by layer and traced back to its origins, with every principle being thoroughly understood. Yet, he felt no panic, for Mountain Tilts, Abyss Falls was a complete, closed-loop system of existence, not a single proposition.
Qin Yu can dismantle local logic and shake the surface legal principles, but he cannot completely destroy this top-level sword path rooted in the Primordial Annihilation Structure overnight.
This is a contest at the Dao Path, not a victory or defeat achieved through brute force. "Impressive! Impressive! Impressive! Brother Qin is indeed extraordinary."
Ju Mohan murmured in admiration, his eyes filled with pure shock and respect, without a trace of fear or resentment, "Brother Qin was actually able to dismantle the foundation of my swordsmanship layer by layer."
Qin Yu did not respond, his mind completely focused on the sword, the Silent Origin Sword Intent growing ever purer and clearer. The final strike fell serenely; this strike did not cleave mountains, nor break laws, but only questioned the origin—existence: why must it forever bear the burden of the past?
Boom!!! In an instant, the thousands of gray mountains that had been falling from the sky froze in mid-air, and the entire world suddenly fell into Ultimate silence. Ju Mohan's body trembled slightly, and his Dao heart was deeply moved.
He suddenly realized that Qin Yu had never denied his swordsmanship, nor had he used brute force to break his divine abilities. The other party had simply stood at a higher level of legal principles and opened up a completely new and deeper Dao Path for his Primordial Annihilation Structure.
The next instant, the stagnant gray mountains slowly dissipated.
Without exploding or collapsing, without scattering or disintegrating, the myriad mountain shadows that carried the weight of time and cause and effect all shed their physical forms, returning to strands of the most primitive and purest Primordial Annihilation Structure runes, slowly returning to the void of heaven and earth.
The overwhelming pressure that had just weighed down the heavens vanished silently, the arena airspace returned to stability, and the world regained its clarity.
Ju Mohan stood still, his knuckles gripping the sword tightening slightly, his breathing becoming slightly heavy. It wasn't that his physical body was damaged or his Dao foundation was thwarted, but rather that his Dao heart had been shaken and cleansed like never before.
He had practiced the Radiance-Shaking Phoenix Mountain Sword for countless years, severely injuring an Eternal Silence Middle Stage with [Phoenix Fall · Radiance Ember], and steadily suppressing a group of geniuses of the same realm with [Mountain Tilts, Abyss Falls]. He had long since accepted that this sword path was perfect and unsolvable.
Today, Qin Yu used a single sheet of Silent Origin Sword Intent to dismantle and trace the origin of the Dao layer by layer. He did not break the sword, but he perfected his Dao. This was the Ultimate understanding of the sword Dao that he had never experienced before in all his battles.
After a long silence, Ju Mohan raised his eyes to look at Qin Yu, his eyes filled with intense respect, and said frankly, "Brother Qin, I lost half a move in this exchange."
Qin Yu shook his head slightly, his expression calm and composed. "Brother Mohan, your swordsmanship has never been defeated. It's just that I've glimpsed a deeper path forward for your Primordial Annihilation Structure."
Ju Mohan remained silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, his fighting spirit burning brightly. All the silence in his eyes faded away, leaving only a sincere desire to compete to the Ultimate.
He slowly raised his heavy sword, and the third phoenix pattern on the blade of the Radiance-Shaking Phoenix Mountain Sword, which had been dormant for a long time, slowly awakened and shone brightly.
"Since that's the case, I'll show Brother Qin the true Ultimate move of my Radiance-Shaking Phoenix Mountain Sword!" Boom!!!
The ancient sword cry, which shook the heavens and the earth, resounded throughout the Myriad Worlds Graveyard, piercing through the eternal void. The Source Dao Ultimate Beast Huang once again focused their attention, and the infinite possibility net behind Wanyan trembled violently and intertwined at an extremely rapid speed, causing countless future trajectories to boil.
"The third move... is finally coming." The millions of spectators were shaken, all eyes focused on the center of the arena, locked on the two figures facing each other from afar.
The final showdown between the two Ultimate sword styles, Unborn, asked about the beginning of existence. Ju Mohan stood alone in the center of the arena, the Radiance-Shaking Phoenix Mountain Sword in his hand slowly hanging down.
At this moment, within the Myriad Worlds Graveyard, no one dared to harbor the slightest contempt. Everyone knew that the first two moves, "Phoenix Fall · Radiance Ember," severed the continuity of time, and "Mountain Tilts, Abyss Falls," suppressed the weight of existence, already reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship that the Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage could attain. Now, Ju Mohan was about to unleash the third move, which meant that he was pushing his comprehension of the Primordial Annihilation Structure to the final step of his Dao Path.
The arena fell Ji Ran. Ju Mohan slowly raised his head, his face still calm as still water. However, the strength in his hand holding the sword surged, and fine lines spread outward from his palm. These were not cracks from physical injuries, but rather Daoist imprints manifested by his Fate Soul essence as it endured the backlash of this divine power.
Qin Yu gazed at the scene, his expression gradually hardening. He had already realized that this sword strike was fundamentally different from the previous two.
Phoenix Fall · Radiance Ember represent the temporal structure of the attack; Mountain's Collapse and Abyss's Fall represent the existential weight that binds the target. But this particular move directly addresses the deepest, most fundamental question buried within the Primordial Annihilation Structure —how did existence begin?
Ju Mohan slowly closed his eyes, and all the Source Power energy around him was completely drawn inward. His figure gradually became faint, not because his form and spirit dissipated, but because he actively suppressed his own existence, using this body as a medium to open the primordial rift of the Eternal Silence Realm.
"Brother Qin." Ju Mohan's voice drifted out, echoing throughout the entire Myriad Worlds Graveyard. "The first two sword strikes are my understanding of time and existence." His fingertips gently traced the spine of the Radiance-Shaking Phoenix Mountain Sword, his eyes burning with an unwavering determination.
"This sword strike is my quest for the word 'beginning'." Boom!!!
The Radiance-Shaking Phoenix Mountain Sword trembled violently, its sword cry booming, yet unheard by mortals. Countless beings felt only a sharp sound brush against the depths of their souls, as if an invisible sword had sliced through the very layers of their consciousness. Radiance-Shaking Phoenix Mountain Sword, Third Form – The Slash of the Unborn
In an instant, the entire Myriad Worlds Graveyard fell into deathly silence. Even the four Source Dao Ultimate Beast Huang ceased all expressions beyond observation.
At the Southern Seat, the eternally collapsing void rift of Boundless Abyss Huang paused slightly; behind Wanyan, the endless web of possibilities surged and rippled; Mystic Deconstruction, whose form was always ever-changing, froze briefly for the first time; even Nameless, who was always completely silent, showed a barely perceptible fluctuation in his indescribable existence.
This move has long transcended ordinary magical techniques and killing techniques; it is a fearless inquiry into the realm before the birth of existence.
Ju Mohan gripped the longsword firmly with both hands, the tip pointing forward. Above the void, a crack as thin as a spider's web slowly unfolded. There was no explosion of space collapsing, no strange phenomenon of heaven and earth overturning; it simply stood quietly before the arena.
The moment the crack appeared, the hearts of all the spectators sank, and their memories flickered for a moment, hazy and indistinct. It was as if the still clear fragments were being slowly wiped away by some invisible force. Within the crack, there was no light, no darkness, no color, no substance, only a pure Emptiness where all laws had not yet been created.
