The Master Chess Player Appears · The Reverse Scale Must Not Be Touched

The Northern Region Return, and the heavens are ablaze with the flames of war.

The icy flames and howling ghosts intertwined to form a battlefield that Soul Rend, leaving only a silent, pale expanse between heaven and earth.

Right now--

A figure, a blend of annihilated gold and Silent Abyss, burst through the air!

Qin Yu has finally stepped into the Northern Region Return the battlefield!

At first glance, he saw that familiar and stubborn figure in the battle ahead— Qian Ruishan —being struck by a masked creature. Her soul was in disarray, her robes stained with blood, and she flew through the air, leaving a hundred-foot afterimage.

"Ruishan!"

Qin Yu's eyes narrowed sharply. He didn't move, but his figure transformed into a streak of light that could be teleported instantly.

In a flash, he appeared behind Qian Ruishan, steadily pulling her into his arms and deflecting the powerful impact that could have shattered her soul and destroyed her body.

The two landed slowly, and the wind stopped.

Tears welled up in Qian Ruishan's eyes, her soul still reeling from the shock. When she opened her eyes, she saw that familiar face etched into her very soul— Qin Yu!

Tears, collapsing in an instant.

"You're finally back... you're finally back... I thought I'd never see you again..."

Tears streamed down her face, her voice trembling, every word and sob a powerful outpouring of suppressed emotions.

Qin Yu gazed at her tenderly, gently raised his hand, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his voice as soft as the wind:

"Sweetheart, you rest and recover here first. The rest—leave it to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on her forehead, as if it were a silent vow, or a response from destiny.

The heavens are still, the Star Abyss are in turmoil, but at this moment, the affection between us permeates our Fate Soul.

The wind fell silent.

Qin Yu gently placed Qian Ruishan on the remaining rocks at the mountain peak, his hand as soft as a feather, but his gaze as cold as an abyss.

His figure rose into the air step by step, stepping into the void storm above the Northern Region Return, where annihilating starlight appeared beneath his feet.

And then he clenched his right fist—"Clang—"

A black and gold longsword, seemingly capable of tearing apart the very origin of the universe, suddenly appeared in his hand!

The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword: When the sword is drawn, all Cause Severance.

The heavens trembled, the world's rules shook violently, and streaks of annihilated gold spread from the void, as if heaven and earth already knew that the moment this sword was drawn was the moment of judgment!

Qin Yu's gaze was icy, his eyes devoid of any emotion. He simply parted his thin lips and uttered a cold, low voice:

"Those who defy me will surely die."

The earth cracked, the wind raged, and all things fell silent.

Ahead, a masked man in black stood in the air, his black robes fluttering, a cold smile appearing on his face, "I didn't expect you to return so quickly."

His tone was icy, and as soon as he finished speaking, he uttered another sentence:

However—it's too late.

He simply raised his finger slightly, pointing it straight to the sky!

The next moment—BOOM!!

A deafening roar, like the collapse of a boundary, erupted from the sky!

Behind him, the void was suddenly torn open by a dark storm, and streaks of black light traversed the heavens and earth through the space-time rift!

Five dark figures crossed over from different dimensions!

They were all dressed in black robes, their faces covered by masks, and their bodies were shrouded in the chaotic currents of rules "outside this world," like five "Nameless enemies" descending from the deeper Annihilation Abyss!

The first man in black to appear slowly opened his arms and chuckled softly:

"Qin Yu... you think this is just an ordinary attack? No, this is just the beginning of your complete destruction."

⸻

At this moment, Qin Yu was no longer facing one person, but a five-person ambush planned by an unknown force.

"Kill."

With just one word uttered, the six masked men in black moved simultaneously!

The void trembled, the sky lost its color, Northern Region Return seemed to be completely surrounded by the Six Paths of Fate Storm!

Their figures transformed into six annihilating shadows, and six extraordinary phenomena tore through the Heavenly Abyss and surged toward Qin Yu!

-

First Person Star Tomb Frigid Thunder

He pushed forward with both palms, and tens of thousands of jet-black lightning bolts crashed down from the void. The lightning bolts contained the image of a "graveyard of stars," like the roars of billions of star spirits after their deaths. The sea of lightning covered Qin Yu's entire body for hundreds of feet, and each bolt that fell carried the destructive feeling of the Annihilation of star souls.

The second person's Shackle Illusory Bone Lock

A chain shot out from the void, engraved with ancient forbidden runes. Each chain's pattern twisted and manipulated the rules of the technique, capable of sealing the release of one's Fate Soul upon contact! The chain coiled like a serpent, lunging towards Qin Yu's sea of consciousness and the nodes of his soul meridian.

The third person Black Mirror World-Quelling Curse

He opened his palm, and a shattered mirror appeared in the sky. The mirror contained the "reverberations of techniques" from every battle Qin Yu had fought in the past, and the mirror began to simulate and replicate the moves Qin Yu had used, forming a bizarre backlash simulation!

The fourth person Gray Vortex World-Devouring Light

He exhaled a gray vortex, like a ball of light after the core of the world's logic collapsed! This ball of light emitted energy that could "eliminate all rules of combat," even causing the laws of heaven and earth to begin to go off track, as if it could turn the entire battlefield into a dead zone where "skills are unusable"!

Fifth Person Extinction Line - Life-Severing Hand

He raised his right arm high, and a black line descended from the sky, landing directly on Qin Yu's head! This line was not a physical object, but a thread of destiny. Legend has it that once someone is entangled by this line, their "future driving force" will be completely severed, and their fate will no longer be able to be written!

The sixth person (leader) Abyssal Nightmare Silent Edge Slash.

He slowly extended his right hand, his five fingers forming a claw, and a jet-black, almost tangible "Silent Nightmare Edge Slash" appeared in his palm.

This is not a simple slash, but rather "setting the target as part of the void rift," causing the enemy to actively lose its boundaries of existence and become a "rift compensation structure"!

If this strike succeeds, Qin Yu will be forever unable to be perceived, observed, or recorded—he will disappear from the world's setting.

Six Paths of Combat Techniques, Six Deadly Situations!

Each one possesses six different deadly characteristics: soul severing, skill annihilation, sealing, simulation, stripping, and deletion!

At this moment, they resembled six colossal World Extinguisher rings, simultaneously crashing towards Qin Yu in the air—

At this moment, the world seemed to consist only of Qin Yu, standing on the verge of collapse!

"Kill."

The six annihilation techniques transformed into six Paths of Annihilation Abyss Judgment, simultaneously striking Qin Yu from different dimensions, different logics, and different destinies!

Black lightning obscures the stars, chains pierce the soul, the mirror realm backlashes, the silent domain collapses, the life-severing antennae, and the void- Realm Splitting slash!

The world seemed on the verge of complete collapse.

But at that very moment, Qin Yu's figure remained motionless in the void.

He slowly raised his left hand, lifting the divine sword that had once severed the creations of all the heavens, the ** Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword **, above his head.

A chill slowly seeped from his eyes as he whispered, his words as if a destiny had been decided:

"Silent Origin - Eternally Sever the Heavenly Balance." "Origin Destroyer - Sever the Soul in Nine Silences."

In an instant! The divine sword trembled and rang.

A golden-black crack opened up in the sky, sweeping across billions of miles of wind and thunder!

The balance of heaven and earth—broken. The logic of the soul—ripped!

Within the Silent Origin: Sever the Balance, the fundamental structure of the Six Paths Killing Techniques is disrupted, and their logical loop is broken.

Under the impact of the Sever the Soul in Nine Silences, the soul chains that enabled the six men in black to unleash their combat techniques were severed one by one!

Moment--

The sky seemed to lose control, like the mournful murmur of a god.

Boom--!! Boom--!!

The sky seemed to have its surface peeled away, plunging into a black hole.

The six battle techniques collided violently with Qin Yu's Ultimate dual techniques, shattering the void into countless layers of folds, and the entire Northern Region Return was swept up into a battle technique, Black Sun!

--Darkness descended upon the world in an instant.

The wind stops, the fire dies down, the sound fades, time stands still.

A few breaths later, the dust settled and the light returned.

Qin Yu stood alone atop the void, his robes fluttering in the wind, wielding the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword.

There was no shadow beneath his feet, no dust on his body, as if he hadn't moved an inch!

On the other side—six men in black—

They all knelt on one knee, their bodies trembling slightly, cold sweat streaming down their foreheads!

They struggled to stay upright, their eyes filled with barely concealed terror, their breaths rumbling like thunder, each gasp seemingly squeezed from the ruptured veins of their souls.

They never imagined that just two moves...

Then it will shatter all six arts, tearing away the soul and splitting the life!

That was: one man against six techniques! One sword, suppressing six realms!

Above the void, Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword slowly descended, the cracks in the sky still unclosed.

The leader of the men in black shouted coldly, "Quickly—use your awakened combat techniques!"

His gaze was fixed on Qin Yu, his tone as cold as iron. "Remember, you must not use any of your magical treasures! He possesses the Star Wancai Key; any of your magical treasures will instantly turn to dust before him."

As the sound faded—buzz!!!

The five masked men in black all looked up at once, and an extremely terrifying spiritual aura suddenly erupted around them!

In the next instant, five divine lights of completely different dimensions—golden white, cyan red, dark silver, Purple Radiance, and black lightning—bloomed simultaneously.

Their souls seemed to ignite, activated by a power from a higher dimension—

"Boom--!!!" The sky erupted in chaos!

The five True Immortal Great Emperor- level primordial auras soared into the sky, sweeping across the heavens. The entire Northern Region Return Battlefield was shaken, compressed, and annihilated by the immortal auras of these five people!

Qin Yu's pupils contracted sharply, and he sighed softly:

"... This is True Immortal."

"They are actually... True Immortal Great Emperor from other dimensions?"

Just as the thought crossed his mind, the five of them had already finished performing hand seals!

Five ancient immortal runes appeared on their foreheads--

The five men shouted in unison:

"--The Destruction of All Immortals, the Absolute Death that Shatters the Heavens!!!"

The five immortal origins instantly merged into a massive stream of judgment light, traversing the void and condensing into a gigantic blade with immortal patterns hundreds of millions of feet long. It descended from the sky, carrying the "immortal pressure to annihilate an entire world" and slashed towards Qin Yu!

The entire Northern Region sky was stretched into a crescent-shaped torrent of celestial light!

Immortal runes poured forth like a sea of stars, shattering the void inch by inch!

... This attack was no ordinary combat technique, but the Ultimate combined attack released by five True Immortal Emperors through synchronized soul consciousness!

All for the sake of defeating this man before me: Qin Yu, who single-handedly annihilated an enemy with six techniques!

Completely annihilated into nothingness.

The giant blade with immortal patterns that the five True Immortal Great Emperor wielded together was like a god of judgment descending upon the world, inch by inch cutting through the void and shattering the order of heaven and earth.

Amidst the apocalyptic shockwaves, only Qin Yu remained unmoved, his black hair billowing and his eyes Lingxiao with a cold light.

He scoffed coldly, "A mere Outer Realm True Immortal Great Emperor dares to presume to shake my power?"

--On his right shoulder, a golden Soul Seal slowly emerged, as if it were a chapter of Fate-Cause that transcended time and space.

That was the manifestation of his "Fate Cause Master Seal".

Immediately following, Qin Yu spoke in a low voice, as if a divine decree had been issued:

"Initial Fate — the Writing-Opening Seal." Boom!

The void trembled like thunder, as if pages of an unfinished "world setting" had been suddenly opened, and countless Mieyin appeared beneath Qin Yu's feet.

The Soul Seal light patterns converged on the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword in his hand.

His arm slowly rose, pointing the sword to the sky:

"Origin Silence Severing Cut -- Trace and Sever, Leaving No Wheel." In an instant.

Everything collapsed, and the proposition came to a standstill.

Before the immortal blade could strike, Qin Yu's sword had already completely annihilated its "compositional logic".

The colossal blade adorned with countless immortal patterns seemed to have been "reconstructed" by some invisible force, shattering inch by inch in mid-air, vanishing like burnt-out pages!

The five True Immortal Great Emperors were frozen in the moment their immortal power erupted. Before their shock could turn into fear, their bodies had already begun to disintegrate.

"Ughhhhhh--!"

They seemed to have been erased from the source of the setting.

There was no struggle, no lingering echo, only a moment of annihilation and silence.

Only a ring of grayish-white ripples remained, spreading out in place, dreamlike and illusory, as if they had never existed.

Qin Yu alone, ordered the seal to be opened, and severed the Cause Severance—

All five True Immortal Annihilation!

... At this moment, the sky returned to silence.

The sixth man in black, who was in the lead, trembled violently. A crack appeared in his mask, revealing an eye filled with shock and fear.

"You... you..."

His voice trembled, as if he had seen an invincible, Ultimate being.

Qin Yu simply landed slowly, sheathed his sword, his expression as indifferent as ever, and murmured:

"I am the author of Fate-Cause."

Qin Yu landed slowly, his longsword hanging down, its blade still dripping with the annihilation fragments of light that had just slain five True Immortal Great Emperors.

He raised his eyes, his gaze frosty, coldly staring at the masked man in black who was still clinging to life.

Slowly raise your right hand, sword pointing at the other person. "Tell me—who sent you?"

"Is it Yu Yuance? Or a lackey of some temple?" "If you tell me, I'll spare your life."

The wind suddenly froze.

Time seemed to stand still around them, with only that single sword gleam echoing softly in the void.

The man in black was silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a cold laugh, his voice as hoarse and deep as a shadow:

"Heh... You think killing those five mere extradimensional True Immortal Great Emperor will break my trap?"

"They are nothing but a bunch of expendable pawns."

His eyes grew increasingly crazed, staring intently at Qin Yu as if he wanted to tear Qin Yu's soul apart.

"As for the master behind me... you'll never be able to Annihilation him in this lifetime."

Having said that, he raised his right hand, and a crystal-clear, multicolored crystal suddenly appeared, with complex cosmic reflection and annihilation ripples flowing within it.

"Bang--!!"

The crystal shattered, as if triggering some forbidden interdimensional command.

Boom! In an instant, the entire void suddenly trembled and collapsed!

Immediately afterwards, a transcendent light from an unknown dimension suddenly descended!

That was an extremely powerful teleportation annihilation energy that instantly transported all the alien beasts and enemies on the battlefields of the four domains of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch —regardless of strength or whether they were engaged in battle—to...

Space was torn apart, and everyone was dragged into a chaotic spatial passage from which there was no way to trace back!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The spiritual light of the four directions burst forth, the enemy army was completely evaporated, and the world returned to tranquility, as if nothing had ever happened.

And where he stood, not even a trace of the black-clad man's remnant soul remained; only a lingering echo of eerie laughter, still reverberating in the void, softly resonated between heaven and earth.

"You will eventually understand... the destiny you wrote is what he most wanted to take away..."

The wind grew a bit colder.

Qin Yu slowly lowered his sword, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

He murmured, "Whose master are you? And what... do you want to take from me?"
