Upon hearing this, Qin Yu merely glanced at it indifferently, remaining silent and unresponsive. In the next instant, an ancient scroll slowly materialized in his palm, devoid of any earth-shattering power or grand spectacle, only a wisp of timeless tranquility spreading across the land and permeating the void. Beside the spine of the scroll, a slender, Realm Severing Origin Brush floated gently up and landed between Qin Yu's fingers, calm and without sharpness, yet containing the principles of myriad order.
The moment the Book of Fate Law appeared in the world, the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram came to a complete stop, no longer pursuing any origin or tracing any trace of the Dao. Qin Yu had completely seen through the crux of the matter: Hua Jingmeng's reliance was never on the myriad false origins, but on the Great Void truth of the Great Void: "The origin is eternally changing and the myriad forms are uncertain."
Since tracing back to the source inevitably leads to new changes, and following the traces inevitably leads to being misled by falsehoods, then one might as well abandon the pursuit of falsehoods and break through the path directly. Qin Yu held the pen and lowered the tip, gently drawing a line in the void in front of him.
Rustle--
The Book of Fate Law turned its pages on its own, and with each turn, Great Void questions and Source Language hidden deep within the illusory network slowly emerged. The Realm Severing Origin Brush neither destroyed the Dao, nor sealed the Law, nor ruined the Origin; it simply followed the boundaries of the myriad intertwined false origins, meticulously outlining and peeling away layer by layer.
With the first stroke, the interdependent link between the false traces of Annihilation and the true origin of the Great Void was severed inch by inch;
With the second stroke, the illusory cause-and-effect relationship is completely severed, severing any chance of regeneration and preventing the creation of new pseudo-sources through the flow of the Great Void.
The third stroke, a horizontal line, represents dozens of false origins such as Void Evolution, Annihilation, cause and effect, birth and death. Although their forms still exist, they can no longer cover each other, mutually generate each other, or become entangled and chaotic.
The original chaotic and ever-changing illusory origin was sorted out and clearly distinguished by the Book of Fate Law. After all the layers of falsehood were peeled away, the true Great Void origin that maintained all phenomena and supported all changes, hidden in the deepest part of the myriad illusions, finally revealed a faint silver-gray wheel mark, clear and distinct.
Hua Jingmeng's eyes twitched suddenly, and her mind was shaken.
Qin Yu's hand holding the pen was as steady as a rock, his gaze fixed on the one and only true primordial wheel mark. His voice was calm and composed as he spoke on the arena, "You can change into countless forms and take on countless shapes, but you must have a fundamental foundation to support all changes. If there is no foundation to support you, the old forms will perish and the new forms will not be born."
You conceal all illusions, yet the more you weave your web of deception, the more your true essence is revealed—the fundamental principle that sustains all changes, ultimately impossible to move or hide." As soon as the words fell, the Realm Severing Origin Brush pointed into the air.
Buzz!!!
The countless false origins trembled in unison. The Grand Void Dao Transformation Art continued to flow endlessly, and Hua Jingmeng's transformative power was not sealed. Qin Yu did not destroy its Dao or imprison its transformations; he merely dismantled this deliberately set-up source-tracing maze, allowing the endless transformations to return to their origins, no longer ensnared by illusions or misled by false origins.
Hua Jingmeng's expression turned completely cold and gloomy. The Eternal Tribulation Fate-Determining Wheel her brows suddenly accelerated its rotation, and the silver-gray wheel shadow spun rapidly. The scattered future destiny tracks around Qin Yu instantly tightened to the Ultimate, and each one converged into a single point.
His gaze was cold as he said in a low voice, "So what if you expose all the fake sources? I have a clear view of your future path."
The Wheel of Fate spun wildly, locking the void path of fate on Qin Yu's right and fixing the causal threads on his left. Even the trajectory of the next page turn in the Book of Fate Law and the posture of the Source Brush were all reflected and completely fixed in advance by the silver-gray wheel shadow.
Hua Jingmeng intended to use this moment to completely shut down all of Qin Yu's options, forcing all of his advances, retreats, attacks, and defenses into the predetermined fate she had foreseen.
Qin Yu slowly put down his brush, placing the Realm Severing Origin Brush beside the book. He raised his eyes and gazed at the silver-gray Fate Shadow hanging high between his brows. Behind him, the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel suddenly stopped, Ji Ran silent.
The domineering nature of the Eternal Tribulation Fate-Determining Wheel lies in its ability to foresee the entire path ahead, gather all results, and transform countless possibilities into a single, fixed outcome. When ordinary cultivators encounter this path, they either forcibly conceal their destiny, leaving more flaws, or they manipulate the causal relationships of time and space, only to be shackled by the predictions themselves. No matter how they respond, they fall into the opponent's control.
Qin Yu neither avoided, concealed, opposed, nor resisted.
He slowly raised his left hand, and a wisp of dark purple life seal slowly condensed and took shape in his palm, its principles profound and its aura vast.
"The Fifth Seal of the Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence - Abyssal Rotation Profiling · Forced"
With a light touch of his five fingers, the dark purple life seal rose into the air, and the void behind him suddenly sank, revealing an invisible platform hidden in the starry Star Abyss. The deep and heavy resonance of his Fate Soul spread out, shaking the entire arena.
Buzz!!!
Hua Jingmeng's Eternal Tribulation Fate-Determining Wheel, had its only fixed path, yet within this Ultimate stillness, a subtle and wondrous deflection quietly emerged. The first shift was still obscure and difficult to detect, the second gave rise to a completely new path beside the old one, and the third, deep within the new trajectory, forged a new way forward.
The future that Hua Jingmeng saw did not dissipate. He could still clearly see Qin Yu raising his hand, stepping, and making moves. All his predictions were still vivid in his mind. But every time he completely locked down a life trajectory and set it as a fixed outcome, the power of the Abyssal Rotation Profiling would derive a completely new evolutionary path from the depths of the legal logic of that trajectory.
He could see the future, but he could no longer control it.
Those destinies he had locked onto have all become traces, illusions, and remnants deliberately left behind by Qin Yu. The true path forward has already quietly changed and been reborn in the cracks of law that no one can see.
Hua Jingmeng's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and her mind was shaken.
The fundamental reason why the Eternal Tribulation Fate-Determining Wheel is so invincible is that it can see through all opportunities and predict all paths to death, but at this moment it is completely ineffective. The Abyssal Rotation Profiling, but does not compete with it for the right of observation, nor does it erase the predetermined future. It only rewrites the logic of the destiny trajectory and reconstructs the foundation of the evolution of the future.
If you see me walk to the left, then walking to the left means abandoning my path; if you anticipate my sword strike, then that strike means the past is gone; if you lock in the outcome, then from within that outcome, I will open up countless new paths.
The silver-gray wheel of fate spun rapidly, and for the first time, a clear crack appeared on Hua Jingmeng's confident and aloof expression.
He clearly saw Qin Yu step forward with his right foot, but in reality, Qin Yu stood still; he clearly predicted that the Book of Fate Law would be opened again, but Qin Yu lowered his hands and wrists, remaining completely still.
He finally locked onto Qin Yu and launched a close-range attack, preemptively activating the Grand Void Dao Transformation Art to disperse his body and avoid battle. However, when his true body reassembled, the person opposite him remained standing as before.
Every step of the future he locked in with the power of the Wheel of Fate turned out to be a false foreshadowing deliberately laid by Qin Yu; all his predictions were nothing but empty talk.
The true killing move descended suddenly the instant all traces of the past vanished. Whoosh—!!!
Qin Yu's figure suddenly broke through the air, traversing dozens of feet of void without a sound or trace. His right palm condensed a vast source of power, instantly pressing down on Hua Jingmeng's vital point in the chest.
Hua Jingmeng's expression changed drastically. In a hurry, she activated the flow of the Great Void Origin, crossed her arms to block in front of her chest, and did her best to solidify her defense.
Bang!!! The Eternal Silence source collided violently, and the force exploded outwards. The stone platform beneath Hua Jingmeng's feet instantly cracked with countless grooves and fissures. She was shoved backwards several feet by the immense force of the palm strike, and her body staggered unsteadily.
Qin Yu did not pursue the attack, but stood motionless more than ten feet away. Behind him, the Star Abyss Platform and the Dark Purple Life Seal slowly merged into the void and returned to silence.
Hua Jingmeng steadied herself. The silver-gray vertical lines between her brows were still not closed, but the rotation speed of the Eternal Tribulation Fate-Determining Wheel had obviously slowed down, and its power had greatly diminished. All the layers of cold arrogance and determination on her face had faded away, leaving only contemplation and gloom.
Qin Yu gazed at it, the Book of Fate Law hanging beside him, the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram slowly rotating, his voice clear and steady, echoing throughout the arena. "You can observe the trajectory of fate, you can gather myriad paths, you can determine the direction of your future. But the laws of fate are ever-renewing, they can be written, modified, derived, and generated. What you see is only one of countless possibilities, not the sole truth."
Hua Jingmeng silently raised her hand to wipe away a trickle of blood from the corner of her lips, her eyes filled with layers of sinister malice, growing ever more intense and terrifying.
Only then did he fully understand that Qin Yu's terror lay not in the crushing power of a single supernatural ability, but in the perfect closed loop of his Dao Path. The Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram could examine the root of all laws, the Book of Fate Law could dismantle illusions and deceptions, and the Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence could break the shackles of fate. The three great Daos complemented each other, connecting layer by layer, attacking, defending, dissecting, deconstructing, and reversing, leaving no room for attack.
In the final arena, the first Ultimate duel between tracing the origins of Fate Soul and the concealment of the Dao in illusion, and the first clash between the fixed destiny and the rewriting of the Great Dao, came to a close.
Hua Jingmeng raised her eyes and gazed at the calm and profound figure opposite her. All the solemnity in her eyes faded away, replaced by an undisguised and Ultimate fierce killing intent.
Hua Jingmeng stood at the other end of the arena, a trace of blood still not completely wiped from the corner of his lips. The Eternal Tribulation Fate-Determining Wheel his brows had slowly stopped its gradual, converging rotation. He was no longer in a hurry to chase where Qin Yu would fall next, nor did he continue to force a certain destiny trajectory to become the only one. The cold certainty he had shown earlier had completely sunk after several failures, replaced by an even more dangerous silence.
Qin Yu's use of the Abyssal Rotation Profiling technique to force himself to create new paths from within the predetermined destiny marks has made Hua Jingmeng realize that simply focusing on one destiny path is meaningless. Qin Yu's Fate Soul foundation is too stable, Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram can continuously dismantle the causal layers he is in. As long as the future is still compressed into a certain clear path, Qin Yu has the opportunity to rewrite it along that path.
Hua Jingmeng stared at Qin Yu for several breaths, the dark light in his eyes growing deeper and deeper. Finally, he slowly raised his right hand, placing his palm on the silver-gray vertical line between his brows. He slowly spread his fingers, his voice so low it was almost a whisper, "Since one life mark can't hold you... then let all life marks watch over you together."
