True Book Severs the Trail · Liang's Name Seals the Abyss

At this moment, Mirror Abyss Yu slowly stepped out, heading straight for the fifth pillar guardian. "Mirror Abyss Yu of the True Word Extremity Hall hereby challenges."

In an instant, the fifth pillar merely glanced down at him, then coldly said, "Accept the challenge."

The Fifth Pillar Guardian of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall

Name: Mu Linhe

Cultivation Level: Primordial Void Realm -Supreme

Innate Martial Soul: Returning Radiance Extinction - Crane Heaven Wheel

Weapon: Radiant Fate Crane Feather Blade

On the Illusionary Battle Arena, Mirror Abyss Yu stood still, his white robes fluttering without wind, his pupils reflecting a faint glow of ash fire soul light. As he spread his palm, [Reflecting Fate Three Evolutions - Soul Mirror Ashen Book] quietly appeared behind him. The three soul mirrors rotated, flowing with the power of fate, soul consciousness, and reflection, while the Floating Ash Book hovered in the center of the mirrors, its pages half-open, as if waiting for the next Proposition Generation.

Opposite him, Mu Linhe stepped forward, his aura Steady as a Mountain. The Radiant Fate Crane Feather Blade slowly extended its wings, and as it folded, a ring of life energy appeared. The feathers were like silver radiance, and with a soft cry, light and flame spread along the arena. At this moment, Mu Linhe's Innate Martial Soul [Guiyao Miexi· Crane Heaven Wheel] also burst into bloom. The radiant wheel was like the bright sun, and at its center, a spirit radiant white crane circled out, shattering space.

"The Ash Book technique of the True Word Extremity Hall is indeed worth taking seriously." Mu Linhe in a deep voice. In the next instant, he took a step and the Radiant Fate Crane Feather Blade fell. A Yao Zhan - Fate Track Feather Slash arrived in the air and cut off the three soul mirror phantoms in front of Mirror Yu!

Mirror Abyss Yu did not move, but merely clenched his left hand, causing the Ash Book within the mirror to suddenly flip:

"Reversing Fate's Course: Understanding Books and Deriving from Itself"

The Soul Mirror within the Three Soul Mirrors suddenly spun, instantly transforming into a illusory reflection wheel that enveloped the Radiant Slash, actually "reversing" its trajectory back to the moment it was half-formed, causing the attack to collapse on its own!

Mu Linhe frowned slightly, let out a cold snort, and formed a hand seal with his right palm, causing the entire Crane Heaven Ring to tremble violently.

"Radiant Feather Fall - Seal Tracks and Lock Consciousness!"

Suddenly, beams of radiant light descended from the ceiling of the arena, sealing off the operational logic of the triple mirror rings and forcibly suppressing the expansion area of Soul Mirror Ashen Book. Radiant seals faintly appeared at the edge of the arena, clearly an auxiliary method of the [Fate Severing and Consciousness Sealing Array] that only true high-level temple guards could invoke!

Mirror Abyss Yu remained calm and composed. He parted his lips slightly, and the second page of the Soul Mirror Ashen Book suddenly opened, revealing the proposition:

"Rebirth of Ashes: Soul Mirror Reflects the Truth"

The next moment, the three soul mirrors shone brightly, reflecting the light and linking with each other to reconstruct the logical soul consciousness pathways, reconnecting the originally frozen fate trajectory. The severed fate reflection technique quietly emerged with a new structure, stirring up soul light that pierced through the air!

"As expected... worthy of being an opponent who made it to the third round." Mu Linhe murmured softly, but his eyes still carried a faint composure and confidence.

Above the Illusionary Battle Arena, two martial soul phenomena resembled the sun and moon reflecting each other, their blazing light and soul shadows fiercely intertwined. Mirror Abyss Yu stood beneath the Three Jing Jin Book, his eyes surging with soul flames, his destiny trajectory reflecting off the ground. Opposite him, Mu Linhe held the Radiant Fate Crane Feather Blade, his body surrounded by Radiant Soul Light, its white feathers gleaming, and circles of soul array light continuously unfolding beneath his feet.

"If you can withstand this next move, you'll have passed the first hurdle." Mu Linhe's gaze was deep. Before his words were finished, his crane-feather blade wings transformed into soul flames and blazing fire, suddenly soaring into the sky—

"Radiant Soul Skill: Radiant Life-Locking Fate Ring!"

In an instant, soul arrays rose around the arena, and radiant rings swirled, as if ten layers of soul chains were locking together Mirror Abyss Yu's destiny and sea of consciousness! The radiant white crane on the Crane Heaven Wheel suddenly cried out, transformed into a divine shadow, and swooped down.

"Locking Fate..." Mirror Abyss Yu remained calm. The three mirrors suddenly rotated, and remnants of the soul chain appeared in the Fate Orbit Mirror, then exploded.

"Soul Mirror Second Evolution: Chain Collapse and Deconstruction."

Simultaneously, the three mirrors released the [Soul Mirror Reflection and Inscription] logic channel, reflecting and "reconstructing" each line of the [Dual Lock Logic of Fate and Consciousness] contained within the Radiant Soul Chain. Whenever a chain was about to complete its lock, the Ash Book would suddenly write down a "negative proposition," causing it to self-collapse!

"He's dismantling my life's chains sentence by sentence...?" Mu Linhe finally showed his first expression of surprise.

Just then, Mirror Abyss Yu took the initiative to step forward, activating his Soul Mirrors. The second page of his Soul Mirror Ashen Book slowly emerged:

"Reflecting on the Three Derivations of Destiny: Composing a Theme Based on Discrimination"

As the mirror core shattered, countless afterglows flowed out like a mirror, transforming into a "reflecting light" that shot into the soul wings of the Radiant Fate Crane Feather Blade!

The crane's wings froze for a moment, forcing Mu Linhe to retreat three zhang. It turned out that this "severing consciousness structure" was the core life-reflecting technique specifically designed to break the structure of soul skills. Once the flow of life consciousness was interrupted, any high-level skill would be forcibly collapsed!

"... Your Soul Mirror Technique is indeed unique." Mu Linhe steadied himself, exhaled a long breath, and his expression became even more composed.

Mirror Abyss Yu did not answer, his steps did not stop, the Book of Ashes flipped open, and the three mirror spirit patterns emerged with new brilliance, intending to seize the initiative in the next section.

On the arena, the atmosphere solidified, and a thunderous roar erupted all around the viewing platform.

"Mirror Abyss Yu was actually able to break the Radiant Extreme Soul Lock?"

"That's a genuine temple guardian soul skill! How could he reject even the components directly?"

"As expected of the True Word Extremity Hall, the structure of the proposition and counter-construction incorporated into the soul skill is too difficult to defend against..."

The tide of battle has gradually shifted from a stalemate to one in favor of Mirror Abyss Yu.

The light and shadow on the Illusionary Battle Arena shifted once more. As the time sequence on the Chronicle Plate slowly rotated, the overlap between the rules of time and the structure of the Soul Domain became even denser, and the light patterns cut through the heavens and earth like layers of falling curtains.

At this moment, the arena has completely transformed into the intersection of the Mirror Domain and the Radiant Domain, where soul consciousness clashes. The battle is no longer limited to external attacks, but rather involves mutual repulsion and pressure from the essential "soul skill logic structure".

--Both sides have entered the true core of the collision.

Mu Linhe clasped his hands together from behind, and the crane feather blade spread its wings and rose up, revealing the "Returning Radiance Extinction - Crane Heaven Wheel" phenomenon behind him.

A beam of light, like a white crane, soared into the sky and cried out, piercing through the opponent's destiny trajectory. The radiant light surrounding it was like a reconstruction of the universe's destiny axis. With a single slash, it would sever the connection between the opponent's destiny trajectory!

"Radiant Annihilation Soul Skill: Severing the Radiant Fate Track!"

This technique, once unleashed, is a [Fate-Track Judgment Technique] that even those at the Primordial Void Supreme Realm cannot directly withstand. A white crane swept straight past the Three Jing Jin Ashes, its ten thousand feet of radiant light slashing down through the air!

However--

Just as the radiant light was about to sweep across the three mirrors, Mirror Abyss Yu had already turned to the last page of the Soul Mirror Ashen Book. That page was no longer about reflecting fate and creating mirrors, but rather a blank inscription:

"The final page of the Soul Mirror: The Book of Reversal of Fate"

"You want to sever my destiny? Then I'll rewrite it."

"You use light to illuminate cause and effect, then I will use a mirror to eliminate entropy."

Boom!!

As the three mirrors simultaneously shattered, the structural mirror reflecting heaven and earth collided with the Radiant Life Slash in mid-air, sending waves of temporal energy surging through the heavens. The area around the arena was instantly compressed into Threshold soul consciousness, with soul fire overflowing, structural light turbulent, and life chains twisting!

A glint flashed in Ji Sichen's eyes. "This is... the ultimate reverse-writing logic of the Soul Mirror Book Inscription Technique..."

The stands erupted in a sudden uproar.

Zi Xue stared at Mirror Abyss Yuan Yu and whispered, "He really didn't have any trump cards up his sleeve."

Extinguished Light pursed her red lips and said calmly, "The Soul Mirror technique, though seemingly gentle, is in reality a moment when the final page of the Book of Ashes is opened, forcibly rewriting logic. That is—the ultimate authority on the battlefield."

Mirror Abyss Yu stood alone behind the mirror light. Although the three mirrors were shattered, the Book of Ashes transformed into a talisman within his soul power and was imprinted on his back.

That was a Soul Mirror Imprint, symbolizing the complete fusion of the Three Reflections of Fate with the Soul—entering a state of "self-control of the Mirror Construction".

Mu Linhe had forcibly suppressed the pain of his life trajectory being broken, but his face was pale and his soul consciousness was directly impacted.

"You... have already integrated the Soul Mirror Derivation Technique into your sea of consciousness?"

"Yes," Mirror Abyss Yu said calmly, "That was a proposition I planned to include at the very beginning of this battle."

"You were already orchestrating this collision of fates?"

"The moment you tried to Sever the Fate Trajectory, I knew you had lost."

"You win." Mu Linhe sheathed his crane feather blade and slowly retreated to the side of the magic pillar.

Ji Sichen announced loudly:

"Yu of the True Word Extremity Hall, Mirror Abyss, defeats Mu Linhe, the guardian of the Fifth Divine Temple!"

As soon as the words were spoken, thunderous applause and a tremor of spiritual energy erupted once again from the spectator stands.

The brilliance of the Illusionary Arena had not yet completely faded, and the Soul Mirror Seal still reflected the remnants of three pages in the sky, lingering for a long time.

In this magnificent silence, on the distant Golden Radiance platform, a gaze carrying icy majesty slowly narrowed.

--This is Yu Yuance.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his Purple Radiance robe fluttering slightly, a wisp of gray-gold secret pattern flowing faintly on his forehead. His gaze fell on Mirror Abyss Yu, who was leaving the stage, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, carrying a hint of undisguised admiration.

"Not bad," he said in a low voice, his tone unhurried yet as steady as a main star in a dark night's star chart, "This is the kind of disciple the True Word Extremity Hall should have."

His gaze pierced through the battlefield, traversed layers of space, and finally settled on the "Soul Mirror of Ashes" behind Mirror Abyss Yu, a book that seemed to have been absorbed into his soul.

"This child has undergone a complete transformation and is capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of my 'Chain of Truth' in the future."

Feng Li stood in the shadows beside him, her eyes gleaming. "My lord, shall we summon this person now?"

Yu Yuance shook his head, slowly turned around, his voice carrying a cold, calculating tone:

"No rush. Wait until the competition is over, and after the temple guards' induction ceremony is complete—then you can personally go and receive him."

"Invite him to the secret palace of my Yu Clan and inquire in detail about his understanding of 'the logic of the mirror'."

Feng Li's eyes flashed, and she bowed slightly. "Understood."

Yu Yuance closed his eyes, his back silhouetted against the void as cold and majestic as a star map being cut, like a slumbering abyssal serpent slowly opening its eyes.

"The True Word Extremity Hall... has finally produced something 'useful'."

... At this moment, Mirror Abyss Yu was still unaware of the aura of destiny that had descended upon him.

He stood before the steps leading out of the battle arena, his mind sinking into the Soul Mirror Ashen Book, his eyes as clear as a mirror, devoid of sorrow or joy.

"The next step is to completely 'make destiny come true'."

Yan Yue stood quietly at the edge of the battle stage, her gaze slowly returning as Mirror Abyss Yuan Yu left the stage. Her expression was calm, but a hint of coldness and vigilance flickered in her eyes.

She walked gently to Qin Yu's side, her voice soft yet tinged with seriousness:

"Qin Yu, this Mirror Abyss Yu, comes from the True Word Extremity Hall, he does indeed have some skills."

Qin Yu nodded slightly. "His 'Soul Mirror Ashen Book' just now was indeed quite interesting."

Yan Yue frowned slightly, her voice lowering a few decibels:

"The key isn't just him... Do you remember that mysterious soul talisman that escaped during the Nightmare God Clan's attack?"

Qin Yu's expression changed slightly. "Liang Jichen."

Yan Yue nodded, her gaze as bright as starlight reflecting in the abyss:

"Liang Jichen is the eldest disciple of the True Word Extremity Hall, possessing unparalleled strength at the Only Book Realm · Supreme, and is extremely skilled in stealth and constructing false Fate-Cause. He and Mirror Abyss Yu belong to the same sect, though they haven't explicitly stated that they share the same lineage, I always felt that their relationship was unusual."

Qin Yu said in a deep voice, "You suspect... he has other plans behind him?"

Yan Yue smiled lightly, but the coldness in her eyes intensified. "The True Word Extremity Hall has always acted in secrecy, especially those disciples involved in the Dao of Destiny, who are most adept at concealment and planning. Although his performance today was outstanding, it was too clean, too clean to be a 'flawless examiner'."

"From Liang Jichen's sneak attack to Mirror Abyss Yu's 'Mirror Soul Triple Reflection' today, I suspect they are accumulating power for some kind of 'Reflection of Fate Reconstruction' plan."

Qin Yu seemed to be deep in thought, then smiled calmly after a moment, "It's alright. If they really have a scheme... then I'll smash it myself."

Yan Yue looked at him, then suddenly chuckled softly, "Yes, I believe you."
