The New Sword Form: Return to Origin and Sever Retracing

The ten beams of light connected end to end, progressing layer by layer. The death of the rules severed the cause and effect, the change of destiny inherited the emptiness of all laws, until the end of the tenth realm, when it was completely severed, and then returned to connect with the first realm, forming a perfect and flawless closed loop of sword dao above Qin Yu's head.

Qin Yu finally opened his eyes slowly. He gazed quietly at the sword circle, his eyes calm and clear, without joy or surprise. Only now did he truly see the Ultimate constraint of "Supreme Finality".

The Ten Realms of Sword Dao can sever all laws in the world and destroy the rules of heaven and earth, but it is ultimately trapped by the order of progression and the closed loop. One realm gives rise to another, and the final realm traces back to the initial realm, forming a cage and limiting its own upper limit.

It cuts through everything, but cannot break its own cycle. In the next instant, the countless black and white threads suddenly tightened and gathered to lock the ring. Crack! The Ten Realms Sword Dao Ring trembled violently, and fine cracks spread rapidly, layer upon layer.

Crack! Crack! Cracks spread throughout the entire ring, the perfect ring shattered completely. Finally—crack!!! A clear, resounding sound shook the heavens and earth, the ten-realm closed ring completely broke!

Boom! Ten bursts of light exploded simultaneously, filling the sky with a dazzling rain of light above the entire Life Source Pool. Black and white light patterns stretched out, transforming into a boundless net that enveloped the heavens and earth, gathering and pulling back all the scattered light rain.

Compression, smelting, and Return to One— after several rounds of condensation, the rain of light from the sky was gathered into a fist-sized ball of blazing white light, pure to the extreme and imbued with profound Daoist principles. There was no eleventh realm derived from it, nor any entirely new progressive order.

The ten realms are broken, all laws return to emptiness, the ten realms are not realms, a single thought can contain all paths. Qin Yu raised his hand, and a ball of white light slowly fell into his palm, warm and heavy, carrying all the accumulation of his years of swordsmanship. The third level, Severing Yuan and Shaping Intent, all heavens lose their color!

Buzz--!!! A colorless and formless Daoist aura emanated from the palm of his hand, sweeping across millions of miles of heaven and earth.

The order of heaven and earth was instantly disrupted, the order of up and down was lost, the sequence of time was blurred, and all established standards of the world lost their original definition, and all things returned to chaos and equality.

At the deepest part of the "Severing Cycle and Slaying Beginning Sword Embryo," a wisp of ancient and boundless primordial sword intent pierced through the ball of light, reaching the very foundation of the tenth realm of swordsmanship. The past "Supreme Finality" ultimately relies on "Slaying."

Sever rules, sever cause and effect, sever all laws. No matter how profound the way of the sword is, or how thorough the destruction is, one must first acknowledge the existence of the target before destroying and eliminating it. This is a deeply rooted constraint, the final barrier to the Ultimate goal of the way of the sword.

Qin Yu's gaze narrowed slightly, and his thoughts stirred. The black and white patterns of the sword embryo flowed into the ball of light in his palm, dismantling, subverting, and reconstructing the original foundation of his swordsmanship. From this moment on, his swordsmanship no longer needed to acknowledge the existence of a target, nor did it need to establish something before breaking it down.

His sword reached the very essence before destruction, erasing the very foundation upon which everything was born, established itself, and gained the right to exist. Rumble!!!

The sky trembled violently, and the originally black and white sky suddenly burst forth with a myriad of colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and countless other strange colors that were born in the universe and had never been named by any living being, surged and spread across the sky.

Within each wisp of color, the lingering shadow of an ancient rule floated. In an instant, all the colors dimmed and solidified, and all the lingering shadows of the rule lost their foundation and returned to nothingness.

The earth cracked open with countless ancient grooves and ravines, and the ashes of time rose from the ground. The underlying principles that supported the operation of heaven and earth for eternity trembled, shook, and were on the verge of collapse.

The blazing white light in Qin Yu's palm gradually faded, transforming into a shapeless, colorless, and Nameless primordial hue.

This thing is extremely strange; when you look at it, even the thought of "observing" becomes briefly blurred and impossible to grasp.

Qin Yu slowly closed his five fingers, steadily locking in this wisp of primordial sword intent. Fourth level, "Reverse Order, breaking the beginning, and going upstream!" Clang--! A wisp of reverse sword intent shot straight into the sky, going back through the years.

Qin Yu's consciousness followed all the traces of his own "Supreme Finality" sword path, going against the current, without going against the order of time or changing the past, only tracing back to the origin of his own sword path.

The lingering echoes of sheathing the sword, the scattered sword marks, the moment of wielding the sword, the initial raising of the sword, the thought of enlightenment... countless memories of the way of the sword swept through my mind, and the entire world was given a strong sense of regression. The strange colors in the sky flowed backward, the embers in the ground sank back to the earth, and the black and white sky slowly closed and restored itself.

He traced the river upstream until he reached the very origin of swordsmanship.

That was the moment he first comprehended the "Supreme Finality," the sole anchor point from which all sword styles, sword intents, and sword marks were born, the beginning of all Dao Path of destruction. Whoosh!

Countless black and white Dao patterns erupted from the sword embryo, layer upon layer, tightly binding and locking this initial anchor point. Qin Yu remained calm, and with a thought, decisively tore it apart. Swoosh!

The initial anchor point of Kendo has been completely removed and uprooted.

In an instant, all traces of the "Supreme Finality" sword path collapsed and dissipated. Every sword strike, every annihilation, every manifestation of Daoist essence, and every memory of cultivation all turned into ethereal specks of light and scattered with the wind.

The starting point was severed, the process had no roots, and the end point had no trace, but Qin Yu's swordsmanship was not destroyed. What he left behind was not the sword styles and traces of the past, but the essence of swordsmanship that was deeply rooted in his soul and integrated into his origin.

Time returned to its proper order, and heaven and earth returned to normal. The fifth level, "The Foundation of the Dao Separates from the Ten Realms and Returns to Nothingness - One Thought is the Result." This transformation was without earth-shattering power or extraordinary phenomena; it was Ultimate calm, yet the most fundamental. The "Severing Cycle and Slaying Beginning Sword Embryo" slowly turned its direction, aiming at Qin Yu's brow.

A wisp of formless and intangible primordial sword intent quietly invaded the depths of the Fate Soul, seeking to peel away the most deeply rooted shackle of the sword path—the thought of "slaying".

All traditional swordplay has been inseparable from the sequential process of raising the sword, drawing the sword, striking, and achieving the result. Even if the sword intent transcends time and space and crosses cause and effect, there are still actions, sequences, and trajectories that can be traced and defined.

As long as there is movement, there is a beginning and an end; with a beginning and an end, there is a flaw; with a flaw, it is not the perfect Ultimate. Qin Yu sat quietly in the center of the pool, his eyes becoming clearer and more transparent. The power of the sword embryo slowly stripped away all the dependence on "slashing" in his sword dao origin, dismantling and crushing it layer by layer.

The world suddenly fell into a moment of Ultimate emptiness, and all the sword arts and principles in the world became disordered, chaotic, and deviated from their original trajectory. After a moment, all the shackles shattered.

From then on, there was no form of wielding the sword, no order of striking, no trace of slashing; only the result remained, determined in a single thought.

The ten sword realms of "Supreme Finality" collapsed simultaneously and all Return to One. Rules, causality, destiny, all laws, royal power, time, nothingness, heaven and earth, concepts, and self-severance—the essence of the ten realms was established simultaneously, without needing to switch or having any order.

With a whoosh, the "Severing Cycle and Slaying Beginning Sword Embryo" suspended high in the sky rapidly contracted. Three feet and seven inches, one foot, three inches, finally condensing into a thin, thread-like black and white light trace, pure to the extreme.

Qin Yu slowly raised his eyes. Whoosh! A black and white streak of light pierced through the air, penetrating his brow, entering his Fate Soul, and settling his sword intent, completely merging into his very being, blurring the distinction between inside and outside. Boom!!!

All the strange phenomena in the sky disappeared, and the black and white sky, the myriad colors, the cracks in the earth, and the chaotic Dao rhythms were all restored. The water in the Life Source Pool flowed gently again, as tranquil as ever.

A gentle ripple spread slowly from Qin Yu's side, delicate and warm. His three-year seclusion had come to an end, Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme Return to One. The ten realms of swordsmanship had been Severing Cycle and Slaying Beginning Sword Embryo had been completely fused with his soul.

Qin Yu remained seated cross-legged, neither raising his hand nor conjuring his sword, nor revealing any of his power. To outsiders, he appeared to be sitting quietly as usual, without any extraordinary signs. Only he himself knew that the old "Supreme Finality" had come to an end, having completely traversed all paths and broken through all shackles.

No need to swing the sword, no need to strike, no need to leave a mark; with a single thought, all results are determined. But with perfection imminent, Qin Yu did not stop. He closed his eyes again, his mind sank, merging into the deepest part of his Fate Soul. The black and white sword embryos dissolved, and the barriers of the ten realms vanished. In this Ultimate Space Silence and perfection, a brand new sword intent was quietly taking shape and taking root.

This sword no longer seeks "how to destroy existence." Instead, it traces back to a more ancient, deeper, and more fundamental Ultimate question: Why is something born? Why does it exist in this world? Why does it retain the past? Why can it be remembered, deduced, and Karmic Anchoring? Why can it stand on the river of time and possess a fulcrum for its continued existence? Why can it derive parallels and evolve into countless possibilities?

All things follow different paths, yet all return to the Return to One source. All existence depends on the most fundamental premise—possessing the right to exist. After a long while, Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, the Life Source Pool was calm and still, without any unusual phenomena in the world. The pool water was undisturbed, and the Daoist aura was serene.

Only a few ancient inscriptions on the pool wall blurred slightly and became disordered for a moment when no one noticed; a few constant life-source patterns briefly lost their order; and the soft sound of a drop of water falling into the water was momentarily out of tune.

In an instant, it returned, Wuhen no trace. No one in the world could perceive it, no one could remember it, and no one could trace back the fundamental shift that had occurred just moments before. In Qin Yu's eyes, only the calm and serene serenity that followed complete enlightenment remained. A brand-new, supreme sword technique had taken full shape, deeply rooted in the essence of sword intent. "Return to Origin and Sever Retracing."

This sword does not sever the physical body, nor break through the void, nor Sever Karma, nor destroy the laws; it reaches directly to the very foundation of all things, stripping all targets of their right to exist.

Once the intention is set, the goal does not need to go through the process of falling, dissipating, or returning to nothingness; it is directly stripped away and completely disappears from all dimensions, all timelines, and all causes and effects in the world.

Physical body, Fate Soul, cultivation level, magic weapon, formation, domain, clone, projection—all returned to zero; cause and effect, destiny, time sequence, restrictions, spells, contracts, fortune—all anchors were severed.

Past body, future body, parallel body, reincarnated body, deduced body, body of memory—all paths to existence are sealed off. Ordinary immunity, invincible Dao body, primordial resistance, and void escape techniques are all rendered ineffective.

This sword does not contend with any defense, does not acknowledge the existence of any barrier, and directly eradicates the very foundation of any defense.

Even though the target has returned to nothingness, it still cannot escape the rule of this sword. Nothingness is also a state, but "Return to Origin and Sever Retracing" transcends all states, all definitions, and all logic.

Without sword light, without pressure, without gathering power, without movement, with just a thought, the target quietly fades away from all dimensions and all timelines, the present fading, the Fate Soul dissipating, the past returning to zero, the future severing, cause and effect Wuhen, and memories being cleared.

Ultimately, even the fact that "this thing was erased" will be completely forgotten, leaving no trace and no evidence. Later generations' deductions, celestial calculations, and the rewind of time will only reveal one word: nothing.

Even more terrifying is that once this sword is unleashed, the very traces of its activation, cause and effect, timing, and trajectory will be simultaneously severed and completely erased. No one can find the source of the sword, no one can trace its master, and no one can investigate its traces; its origin will be forever untraceable.

As for Qin Yu himself, once he made up his mind, he immediately returned to his place, anchored himself, without any loss, Delusionless, backlash, or interruption, solely maintained, existing only by himself. Within the Life Source Pool, he returned to the tranquil and serene state that had remained unchanged for the past three years.

Qin Yu's cultivation at the Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme was completely concealed. His Fate Soul essence was gentle and calm, and his sword intent was deeply hidden in his soul, without revealing the slightest sharpness. He lowered his eyes to look at his own palm, his eyes calm and undisturbed.

The Severing Cycle and Slaying Beginning Sword Embryo has already merged with the Soul and returned to its origin. The Ten Realms of Supreme Finality have completely returned to their origin. The Supreme New Sword, "Return to Origin and Sever Retracing and Traverse the Past," has been completed in the present world. With a single thought, existence is lost. Beginningless to be found, Endless to be pursued, and no trace to be traced.

Qin Yu slowly closed his eyes and sat Anran. The clear Life Source Pool flowed gently, surrounding him, and the entire world was quiet Anran, without the slightest ripple.
