Fate's Decision on Three Paths · The Final Realm-Rending Battle

[The Rending Consciousness Realm Domain] -- A spatial domain woven from fragments of soul consciousness, currently layered and floating, with laws within the domain like mirrors and blades, where a single thought can trigger countless streams of Spiritual Sense. This is one of the most difficult dueling arenas to control in the Abyss of Fate Sequence.

And now, standing among them is--

Left: Realm Origin Awakening Hall · Lan Qisheng, Annihilation Lord Realm · Supreme, with extremely high talent and fierce attacks, once suppressed the great calamity of alien consciousness in Jieyuan, and his reputation was illustrious.

On the right: Luo Guifeng of the Void Law Realm Hall, Initial Stage of the Primordial Void Realm, who has mastered the "Time Domain Reflection" technique and is one of the youngest time domain perceivers in the Void Law Hall.

⸻

Luo Guifeng stood in the void, his silver hair fluttering in the wind, his eyes as cold as ice mirrors. He raised his hand and made a slash, and a Time Splitting appeared in mid-air, instantly pulling the scene of the "Rending Consciousness Realm Domain" into a dual mirror realm state.

Lan Qisheng snorted coldly, his feet stomping, unleashing a fierce roar that soared into the sky, and a lightning dragon pattern burst forth within his Soul Sea—

"Second Innate Martial Soul: Rift Abyss Savage-Winged Dragon!"

With a roar of a savage dragon, a storm surged from behind it, and a pair of sky-covering battle wings suddenly appeared in the sky, its soul power sweeping across all directions like a raging tide.

"Drink!!!"

Lan Qisheng slammed his palms against the Soul Seal, unleashing the [Gale Ash Realm Break] technique. The powerful force of Realm Breaking transformed into dragon horns that thrust forward, forcefully attacking Luo Guifeng's domain.

Luo Guifeng remained silent, his hand forming a faint shadow, and a deep blue starlight emerged from his palm.

"The Order of Time Breaks: The Phantom Trail Approaches"

Just as the force that Realm Breaking was about to strike, time around them instantly shattered, and the attack, like a falling mirror, was twisted, swallowed up, and completely deflected.

The spectators on the sidelines erupted in uproar!

"Luo Guifeng actually reversed the trajectory of his attack!?"

"This is the Void Law Realm Hall's... Time-Folding Domain!!"

Lan Qisheng's expression changed slightly. He suddenly soared into the sky and unleashed the [Gale Soul Hundredfold Slash], a series of soul power slashes sweeping across the sky like a raging tide, attempting to crush Luo Guifeng.

At this moment, Luo Guifeng slowly closed his eyes.

The next moment, the figure suddenly split apart--

"Illusory Twins, Returning Wind Silent Shadow!"

One vanished like the wind, the other remained as clear as a mirror reflecting the soul; two Luo Guifeng appeared simultaneously, unleashing a "dual-domain shearing" around Lan Qisheng.

Lan Qisheng roared and unleashed his Ultimate martial soul skill once again:

"The Collapse of the Boundary: The Dawn of the Dragon!!"

A colossal dragon shadow leaped out from the sea of consciousness, its lightning wings covering the entire realm, as if it wanted to completely tear apart the space of consciousness!

However, at this moment, Luo Guifeng finally used his Ultimate domain technique:

"The Path of Tranquility Returns to Silence, the Mirror of Knowledge is Broken!"

The entire space fell silent instantly, time stopped flowing, and his soul was locked. Lan Qisheng seemed to be trapped in an eternal mirror prison, while the powerful savage winged dragon was also suspended in mid-air, unable to move.

"... What's going on!?"

Lan Qisheng roared, but he couldn't break free from the nightmarish mirror of perception.

You lost.

Luo Guifeng spoke in a low voice, his fingertips lightly touching the void, and countless mirror flowers shattered simultaneously.

"Bang!!!"

Lan Qisheng sent flying backward like a shattered mirror image, crashing heavily into the edge of the Rift of Consciousness Barrier. He was stopped by the protective array, his face pale, and he completely lost the ability to fight.

--Judge Ji Sichen took the stage and announced:

"In this battle, Luo Guifeng of the Void Law Realm Hall emerges victorious."

The entire audience was stunned.

The sect leader and elder on the viewing platform of the Void Law Hall slowly rose, his eyes full of admiration.

Qin Yu chuckled softly, "This performance... truly befits a domain controller of the Primordial Void Realm."

Yan Yue nodded slightly. "His Ultimate realm is sealed, which is rather interesting."

Heaven and earth suddenly solidified, and above the Illusory Retrospection Nether Platform, a dark blue mist rose and swirled, like a spatial torrent interwoven with fragments of memory and illusory nightmares. The edges of the formation were inscribed with countless texts recalling past acquaintances, with time, space, and consciousness intertwined in layers. Once one stepped into it, even one's divine sense had to constantly calibrate its trajectory.

At this moment, in the center of the field, He Liusha stood in the blue-gray light vortex, his expression solemn, his soul power surging in his sleeves, and a gray-purple soul shadow quietly appeared behind him - his Innate Martial Soul · Illusory Silence Devouring Shadow, whose characteristic is to devour the aftershocks of the enemy's soul consciousness, feed back to himself, and continuously enhance his ability to break through defenses.

On the other end, Si Xunmo, clad in a silver-gray battle robe with markings, stood with eyes as still as water. He did not summon his Innate Martial Soul; he merely raised his hand and waved it, causing five component chains to float up, as if announcing a series of judgments that would bind his life.

"He Liusha, how many people are you about to fall under my soul's control?"

He Liusha said in a deep voice, "I acknowledge your strength, but today, I refuse to be defeated again."

They both moved at the same time!

He Liusha made the first move, pushing his palm forward, unleashing an extremely dense tide of gray-blue mist, and then activated his skill:

Soul Erosion Strike - Nine Soul Nether Stream!

Streams of soul shadows crisscrossed and swept out, the ninefold soul shadows coiling like dragons and snakes, aiming straight for every blind spot around Si Xunmo's body, and each strike contained a soul-tearing effect, once it hit, it would continuously disrupt the enemy's skill release logic!

Si Xunmo neither dodged nor avoided, but merely used his finger to guide his consciousness, and said in a deep voice:

Observe the Soul Sequence and Lock the Soul Track!

A gray-gold magic seal appeared in his palm, and along with the fusion of the five chains around him, it instantly locked and froze all the soul components of He Liusha in mid-air!

"Your soul flow setting is too crude," Si Xunmo sighed softly.

He Liusha's expression changed slightly, and he immediately unleashed his Innate Martial Soul, "Illusory Silence Devouring Shadow," which suddenly expanded. The illusory shadow enveloped his entire sea of consciousness, causing it to surge like a tide. At the same time, He Liusha shouted:

Soul Draws from the Abyss, Annihilation Path!

Illusory Silence Devouring Shadow suddenly opened its mouth, attempting to devour Si Xunmo's components and forcibly interrupt its control domain! Outside the viewing platform, many temple disciples exclaimed in surprise, "He Liusha actually used this skill! This is his last trump card for a comeback!"

But at this very moment--

Scratching and Disrupting the Gray Chain!

Si Xunmo formed another hand seal with his right hand, and a chain-like Soul Judgment Chain instantly appeared, piercing into the core of the He Liusha illusion. The Innate Martial Soul suddenly paused!

"You think I didn't prepare for this?" Si Xunmo's voice was icy. "Your so-called backlash from devouring consciousness is nothing more than the reversal of a low-level soul chain; I already knew its basic structure."

He Liusha groaned, his soul almost shattered by the shock, and his Illusory Silence Devouring Shadow retreated, briefly losing control!

Knowing that continuing the fight would be futile, He Liusha immediately bit his tongue, using his blood as a catalyst to unleash his final soul skill:

Vanished Illusion, Vanished Shadow!

In an instant, the entire Illusory Retrospection Nether Platform suddenly transformed, with layers of illusory soul consciousness projected backwards into the field, as if he had released a skill more than once, but rather a "reappearance of afterimages" of every soul skill he had used in the past, with multiple attacks coming at the same time!

"It's He Liusha's ultimate Soul Arts — the Soul Battle Remnant Reenactment Form!"

The crowd outside the arena was taken aback, and even Shu Xunyan frowned. "If it were someone else, this move would indeed be difficult to block."

But Si Xunmo only glanced at him indifferently and raised his hand:

Due to the principle of balance and examination of the sealing rules!

Thousands of chains spun in the air and fell from the sky like a rain of ashes, instantly shattering He Liusha's layers of soul skills "reproduction" one by one. Each component of the reproduction burned and dissipated in the air!

"This place is not for you to fabricate lies."

Then, Si Xunmo finally condensed his second Innate Martial Soul—

Second Innate Martial Soul: Ashen Judgment Construct Heart!

A judgment seal constructed from soul consciousness and entwined with gray chains appeared behind him. It was a sealing ring with the five words "Those who fabricate falsehoods will perish" engraved in the center!

"He Liusha, you've exhausted your skills, admit defeat."

He Liusha raised his head with a trembling voice, finally kneeling on the ground, his face ashen white, his soul dissipating, and he managed to utter two words:

"I... lost."

As He Liusha was defeated, the light of the Illusory Retrospection Nether Platform dimmed.

Ji Sichen announced:

"Third round: Si Xunmo wins, He Liusha loses all three matches and is officially eliminated!"

A stir broke out in the audience.

The audience from the Silent Retrospection True Hall remained silent, while thunderous applause erupted from the direction of the Grand Cognition Divine Hall.

At this moment Si Xunmo had already withdrawn the Soul Seal and stood quietly, his expression as indifferent as ever, yet he left an extremely deep sense of oppression in everyone's hearts.

The void trembled, and the oppressive mist converged from all directions, eventually transforming into a dark blue battlefield called [Extreme Silent Source Realm].

In the center of the battlefield, Mirror Abyss Yu and Xiao Heng slowly stepped in. The air froze as their eyes met.

The disciples, generals, and high-ranking elders of the Nineteen Source Palace stood solemnly in the surrounding spectator seats, watching this duel that could potentially rewrite the course of the Abyss of Fate Sequence.

⸻

Xiao Heng's expression was cold as he spoke first:

"Mirror Abyss Yu, I have never feared a powerful enemy. Even if your reputation as a god of the True Word Extremity Hall is overwhelming, I will not easily back down today."

Mirror Abyss Yu stood in the center of the silent mist, his expression calm, except for three gray-silver Fate Ring that slowly rotated on his forehead, causing a chain reaction of vibrations in the surrounding space.

"Alright, I'd like to see if the second Innate Martial Soul of the Bewildering Heaven Hall can withstand my 'Consciousness-Derived Fate Que'."

The next instant, a burst of brilliance erupted!

⸻

At this moment, Xiao Heng's second Innate Martial Soul appeared!

Xiao Heng suddenly raised his hand, his body surging with blood energy, and a ferocious beast, half-soul and half-skeletal, suddenly appeared behind him.

[Netherfall Devouring Wheel - Fang Abyss Fiend]!

This is an Annihilation Abyss Soul Beast that devours souls and consciousness. Its form resembles an Obsidian Rift Beast, with six hooves treading the air and two horns Realm Breaking. Behind it, three purple-black soul chains trail, which, once locked, can sever the enemy's skill chains.

"Netherfall Devouring Wheel, devour!"

Xiao Heng roared, and three soul locks shot out instantly, like annihilation threads tearing through the void, directly locking onto Mirror Abyss Yuan Yu's soul domain!

You want to shut me down?

Mirror Abyss Yu brought his two fingers together, and a silver-gray magic seal appeared at his fingertips. Then, the void folded, and gray mirrors appeared behind him.

[Fate's Mirror Reflects the Sky's Lock]!

As the Soul Chains approached, the Gray Mirror spun in a series of rotations, forcibly "reflecting" the three Soul Chains into the illusory image, causing the chains to shatter instantly!

Xiao Heng's eyes widened in shock. "What is this...?"

Mirror Abyss Yu said calmly, "You haven't forced out my true martial soul yet."

Mirror Abyss Yu releases his second Innate Martial Soul!

In the Ji Ran, the soul pressure within Mirror Abyss Yu surged dramatically.

The Fate Ring on his forehead fully unfolded, forming a gray-white three-dimensional world. The "structure chain," "life pattern," and "cause track" merged and transformed into an ancient mirror phantom!

[Reflecting Fate's Three Evolutions: Soul Mirror Ashen Book] --

The moment the gray mirror rotated, countless characters appeared on it, each defining the "logic of Xiao Heng's skill establishment".

Xiao Heng's expression changed drastically:

"You want to erase the very foundation of my technology chain? Dream on!"

"The Fang Abyss Fiend - Ultimate Technique - Annihilation Abyss Howling Bone Slash!"

Xiao Heng exerted all his strength, unleashing the devastating Netherfall Devouring Wheel, causing his soul to tremble and collapse. A sweeping, Soul Annihilation slash crashed down, tearing apart the entire [Extreme Silent Source Realm] field!

Those watching held their breath; the very air seemed to lose its color at that single strike.

--But within the gray mirror, Mirror Abyss Yu slowly raised his hand.

"Your strike did not penetrate the very essence of life."

[Soul Mirror Ashen Book, Page 7, Failure to Sever Consciousness]

Xiao Heng's earth-shattering slash pierced into the illusory mirror, instantly "turning into a page," scattering and turning to ashes!

Immediately afterwards, the backlash returned along the trajectory of fate!

"Puff--!"

Xiao Heng coughed up blood, Fang Abyss Fiend's soul collapsed by 70%!

⸻End the judgment of the Annihilation Palace!

Mirror Abyss Yu approached step by step, the three life-spell chains within the Soul Mirror slowly turning. He pointed a finger—

"Since you've trespassed on my destiny, I'll remove you from the game."

[Life Chain Judgment - Realm Breaking Soul Lock]!

Chains appeared in the void, binding Xiao Heng around the waist and forcibly pulling him off the arena to everyone's horrified gaze!

"Xiao Heng is out."

Ji Sichen's voice echoed coldly throughout the area.

⸻

As Xiao Heng fell to the ground, he looked up at the sky and murmured to himself:

"The True Word Extremity Hall... truly lives up to its reputation."

Outside the arena, the spectators erupted in cheers!

"Is this Mirror Abyss Yu's second Innate Martial Soul? It's terrifying..."

"His martial spirit can actually turn enemy skills into pages and then backfire? What level of skill construction logic is that?!"

Yan Yue glanced sideways and smiled calmly, "He used his trump card in this battle, so it won't be easy for him later."

Qin Yu remained calm, but he silently memorized the Soul Mirror Logic of Mirror Abyss Yu.

"It seems that the True Word Extremity Hall... truly harbors many hidden talents."
