Radiance Reverses the Cosmos · Epoch Severance

The Fate-Authority Law Pillars stand high in the sky, their brilliance like a rainbow.

As Yan Yue's challenge came to a successful conclusion, everyone's gaze almost instinctively turned to the black-clad youth, Qin Yu, who still stood calmly to the side of the hall.

His figure was like a solitary peak cleaving through the sky, seemingly undisturbed by any fighting spirit, yet as if brewing a storm that would sweep across the course of fate.

The consensus was almost reached in everyone's minds.

"It's Qin Yu's turn..."

"Based on his performance, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will likely choose to challenge the First Divine Hall Guardian."

"Yes, besides first place, who else is worthy of his strength?"

Even the First Pillar Temple Guardian, high atop the Fate-Authority Law Pillars —the man clad in a radiant white-gold armor, his entire body shimmering with the light of fate—

At that moment, he slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on Qin Yu, his eyes filled with a calm acceptance and an unseen fighting spirit, as if he were ready to face the strongest battle yet.

Just as all expectations reached their peak, Qin Yu slowly took a step, but instead of heading towards the first pillar, he...

They stepped onto the empty platform between the third and fourth pillars.

That step, seemingly casual, was in fact like a thunderous bell, resounding throughout the entire Arena of Fate Authority.

The entire audience fell silent for a moment, followed by a deafening roar of exclamations.

"Did he... did he go the wrong way?"

"No! It's between the third and fourth—wait... what is he going to do?"

"Isn't Qin Yu going to challenge the First Pillar? He... no, wait, could he be—"

In this eerie and awe-inspiring atmosphere, Qin Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering, and looked up at the temple guards standing on his left and right sides:

One is Luo Yuncang (the third pillar), whose imposing aura is like a mountain range and whose destiny is locked in the heavens.

One is the axe that cuts through the cycle of time and reverses the source of logic, the Dan Guikui (the fourth pillar).

All anyone saw was Qin Yu calmly speaking:

"Senior brothers, may I challenge both of you at the same time?"

Boom!

The entire venue seemed to be suddenly pierced by a "thunderbolt of logic," sweeping through the entire Eternal Evolution Realm Hall!

A deathly silence, like Silent Abyss turned upside down, instantly spread, followed by an overwhelming shock, uproar, and tremor!

Even Ji Sichen abruptly stood up, his eyes flashing with unprecedented turmoil. "Challenging... both of you? Isn't he Annihilation Lord Realm High Stage?"

Shu Xunyan to the side, suddenly frowned, then his expression turned trembling as he muttered to himself, "He actually... he's really going to do something like this."

Only the four stunningly beautiful figures standing not far from the main seat— Yunyi, Extinguished Light, Zi Xue, and Yan Yue —showed no surprise, but rather seemed to have known the ending all along.

Yunyi gave a soft hum, gently brushed a strand of hair from her temple, and spoke in a tone as light as a breeze and as calm as a cloud:

"This is more like... what our Lord would do."

Extinguished Light crossed his arms and sneered, then whispered:

"I love seeing them get so terrified."

A starlight-like smile curved Zi Xue's lips, "This battle... has only just begun."

Yan Yue, as if she had already grasped the core of the battle:

"If they think that's a 'dual war'... then they haven't yet witnessed what true Silent Wheel's descent into the world is like."

At this moment, Luo Yuncang and Dan Guikui, who were standing on the high pillar, finally reacted and stared in shock at Qin Yu on the arena.

"Junior Brother Qin, are you really going to challenge both of us at the same time?" Luo Yuncang's expression was calm, and although there was surprise in his words, there was not a trace of contempt.

"This is a struggle for Fate Authority, not a drill," Dan Guikui said in a low voice, his tone calm, but his eyes revealed an undeniable turmoil.

Qin Yu simply smiled faintly, his expression as cold and silent as Silent Abyss.

"Since it's a challenge, why avoid its sharp edge? The presence of my two senior brothers makes me want to try my luck at the same time."

At this moment, the Fate-Authority Law Pillars truly boiled over.

Luo Yuncang and Dan Guikui exchanged a smile. "Alright, since Junior Brother Qin Yu wants to test his skills, we'll respectfully comply."

Almost all the disciples were dumbfounded, and many elders gasped in shock. Even the guardians of the pillars exchanged confused thoughts. The first guardian of the pillar, who was originally preparing to fight, slightly withdrew his fighting spirit at this moment, and his gaze became strangely fixed.

This is a "logical reversal" of the entire system of the pillar of Fate Authority.

In the very center of the arena, Radiant Abyss Lie Hui and Silent Wheel Broken Axe crossed. The wind pressure surrounding Qin Yu gradually converged into a single point, while the Fate Ring on his body and the shadow of the Origin Destroyer Sword quietly resonated.

In the center of the arena, the wind howled like blades, and the trajectories of fate swirled like a starry sky. With Ji Sichen's divine thought, "Battle begins."

The entire [Battlefield of Fate Authority] suddenly trembled violently!

"Radiant Abyss, Supreme Ruler - Eternal Fate Crown." "Radiant Laws Return to the Universe - Epoch-Slaying Wheel."

As two majestic chants resounded throughout the entire region, Luo Yuncang and Dan Guikui released their Innate Martial Soul almost simultaneously!

-

Luo Yuncang's Innate Martial Soul: Radiant Abyss Yujie: Eternal Fate Crown

A radiant light surged, and a crown rose from above Luo Yuncang's head, with the nine celestial stars revolving around it, locking the boundary in rings! At the center of the crown were engraved the four characters "Destiny's Orbit Fixed Abyss," like a pivotal point suppressing cause and effect.

Under the illumination of the nine luminaries, the arena space was forcibly frozen, and the rhythm of time was suppressed to almost a standstill.

At this moment, Luo Yuncang seemed to stand at the highest point of Fate-Cause, looking down on all the paths of skills in the world.

"The chaos in the course of fate is all due to my suppression."

-Dan Guikui · Innate Martial Soul · Lawful Return to the Universe· Epoch-Slaying Wheel

On the other side, a beam of light suddenly burst forth from Dan Guikui's body!

A reversing, spinning "Wheel of Severance" rises from behind it, each rotation engraved with a fragment of a skill's trajectory. That axe-like Epoch-Slaying Wheel is precisely to cut off the record chain of an enemy's skill "once existed"!

Under the blade of Ji Lun, no matter how your skills evolve—as long as they have ever been generated, they can be reversed and slashed!

"Skills don't need to be acquired; as long as the thought is conceived, I can slay."

At this moment, on the arena, Qin Yu was not facing one person, but the double pressure of Ji Yin's Lock and the Reverse Slash of the Structure Technique.

The two guardians had never joined forces before, as there had never been an enemy worthy of their battle. Now, for the first time, their combined efforts, displaying a level of power that was enough to annihilate any being in the Primordial Void Realm.

"This match marks the first time in history that two pillars have fought side-by-side."

"And he is the only challenger."

-

At this moment, Qin Yu remained standing still, his Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword trembling slightly, his Fate Ring subtly shifting, and ripples of obsidian quietly spreading from beneath his feet.

He showed no fear.

"Even you all think this is suppressing me?"

Qin Yu gently raised his hand, his five fingers slightly spread, as if caressing a "chain of fate" in the void.

"Fate Ring: Rank- Linked-Stage Judgment."

The whisper falls, the first move is activated.

- Fate Ring - Linked-Stage Judgment - Chain Collapse

As he finished speaking, layers of gray-white life chains suddenly appeared all over Qin Yu's body. These chains started from him and spread out in all directions, as if connecting the terminals of every skill fuse on the battlefield!

Luo Yuncang and Dan Guikui's expressions both changed, and they shouted in unison, "Be careful! He's not retaliating, he's breaking the chain!"

Boom!!!

The entire arena's pressure structure trembled violently, and Luo Yuncang's [Eternal Fate Crown] began to shake violently. The life trajectory that originally locked the space was shattered in several places by a single ring!

At the same time, Dan Guikui's [Epoch-Slaying Wheel] also lost its accuracy in capturing targets. The Slaying Wheel was impacted by the broken chain, and the life-reflecting light of the life-reflecting wheel suddenly collapsed!

"What? He used a chain-reverse technique to completely disrupt the very structure of our skills?"

"... No, he's pre-selecting our skill generation path!"

-

The seats outside the meeting room were once again shaken, and Elder Ji Dian, who was skilled in technical logic, looked horrified:

"This isn't a counter-attack chain, this is... Linked-Stage Judgment —he used the life chain structure to define the starting point for the collapse of the opponent's skills!!"

"This is the life chain control power that only those at the Temple Construction Master level possess!"

-

On the arena, Qin Yu neutralized the initial movement of the twin pillars with a single move.

He calmly withdrew his gesture, but only said:

"If all you can do is 'suppress,' then this battle is pointless."

The expressions of the third pillar Luo Yuncang, and the fourth pillar Dan Guikui, finally became truly solemn.

"Qin Yu..."

"You've been hiding it much better than we thought."

On the arena, Qin Yu's [Fate Ring - Linked-Stage Judgment] shattered the preset skill chain of the two pillars, detonating the logic interface of the Fate Track Pressure and the Skill Severance, leaving all the temple's high-ranking officials and disciples speechless.

But--

Faced with such a powerful structural deconstruction expert, how could Luo Yuncang and Dan Guikui stop at the initial stage of probing!

"It seems that without going all out, I can't suppress you... this anomaly in destiny."

"Then so be it—I'll show you what 'pillar resonance' truly means."

⸻[Radiant Abyss Fate Realm: Ascending the Destiny Track!]

The "Radiant Abyss Imperial Realm - Eternal Fate Crown" Luo Yuncang suddenly spun to its Limit, and the Nine Luminaries rapidly reorganized, illuminating the outside world of his destiny field!

The next moment--

The crown wheel rises, forcibly establishing a "new layer of destiny"!

Within this domain, the enemy's skill trajectory must "leap upwards" above the life trajectory for it to be valid.

This is the Destiny Track Dimensional Suppression Field, a suppression system that forcibly incorporates the enemy's "right to use logic" into the higher-level Fate Realm for verification!

At this moment, the skill chain outside Qin Yu's body paused for half a second.

He was momentarily hindered by the logic of fate!

-[Judgment by Ji Lun: Technical Track Reversal!]

At the same time, the [Law of the Universe - Epoch-Slaying Wheel] behind Dan Guikui shone with a third layer of discipline lock rings.

"Once the technical trajectory is initiated, there is no escape."

He gave a soft shout, and the [Radiant Epoch Severing Axe - Silent Wheel Blade] in his hand slashed down fiercely!

A resounding echo, like the echoes of a thousand years of cause and effect reverberating across the arena:

"Any conception, any idea, any vision... shall not survive."

The entire axe blade was aimed at the "life chain afterimage" left behind by Qin Yu's release of [Fate Ring - Linked-Stage Judgment].

This move aims to "sever ties with the past."

"It actually followed the trajectory of that skill?!" the cultivators below exclaimed in surprise.

"If this axe strikes, even if your skill is successfully activated, it will be considered 'not activated'!"

This is precisely the logic of [Epoch-Slaying Wheel]: delete the "record of the skill's existence".

The arena instantly transformed from a storm into a vortex of logical judgment!

[Fate Track Ascension] + [Skill Track Reversal] constructs a rare "Causal Deprivation and Skill Resonance Tactic" for dual pillars!

They no longer fought separately, but instead built a unified fighting system based on a temple-like tacit understanding.

Make the enemy lose their skills, their abilities, and their reputation!

Even outside the battle arena, Yan Yue's brows twitched slightly for the first time.

"These two are really serious."

Zi Xue gazes at the arena:

"They just don't understand Qin Yu at all—"

-And in the center of the arena.

Faced with the combined forces of the two pillars, forming a "circle of chronological logic"...

Qin Yu moved.

"You're saying skills need to be upgraded?"

He smiled faintly, extended his right hand, and lightly traced a line downwards with his palm:

"Then... let me erase this destiny."

-As he finished speaking, the second move was released:

[Initial Fate - Writing-Opening Seal] - State Restart Logic

In the void, a fragment of the "Fate Book" slowly unfolded from Qin Yu's palm, on which were written, "The Orbit Has Not Been Opened, the Realm Nameless."

He whispered:

"Before you wrote down the rules, I reset the state—the structure you built was rendered useless."

The pages burned, and the logical chain of [Fate Track Ascension] and [Skill Counterattack] that had just been established within the arena was erased in an instant, as if it had never happened!

The two pillars exclaimed in unison, "What?! The skill logic... has been rebooted?"

An elderly man from Ji Dian in the audience stood up in shock:

"He doesn't erase the opponent's skills, but rather renders the enemy's logic in a state of 'never having been activated'—this isn't a 'counterattack,' but a reset of order!"

-

Amidst the complete collapse of logic on the arena, Qin Yu slowly stepped out, flicking his fingers lightly. The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword remained unsheathed, yet it seemed to wield the pen that recorded the arena's history.

"No matter how many layers of chronology you construct, I only need one sentence—not yet initiated."

"The cause you established no longer stands."

Luo Yuncang's expression finally changed.

For the first time Dan Guikui's hand holding the axe trembled.

They realized that Qin Yu's fighting style was not superior in defeating the enemy—but rather in refusing to acknowledge the existence of any enemy.

This battle has only just begun, yet it seems as if we have already fallen into the disciplinary nightmare written by Qin Yu.

Qin Yu used the [Initial Fate - Writing-Opening Seal] technique to erase the fate logic system constructed by the two pillars, rendering Luo Yuncang and Dan Guikui's "dimensional suppression" and "technique pursuit" completely ineffective. For the first time, both pillar guardians showed solemn expressions on the arena—they finally understood:

Qin Yu is not merely a powerful individual capable of "countering skills"; he is denying the legitimacy of skills from their very origin.

This time, Qin Yu took the initiative.

With a light step, the situation on the arena changed dramatically.

There was no prelude, no build-up.

Only a cold whisper from the "Abyss of Fate" resounded from his chest:

"Silent Origin, Trace the Spirit Abyss."

-[Silent Origin · Trace the Spirit Abyss]--Tracing back to the origin of the enemy's skills, blocking the starting point of the logic's power supply.

As soon as this technique was unleashed, Qin Yu's entire body was enveloped in layers of Silent Abyss Black Patterns, like a grid constructed by the reverse flow of Life Source, spreading throughout the entire arena!

The target—the core link of Luo Yuncang and Dan Guikui's Innate Martial Soul!

Luo Yuncang reacted instantly--

His "Radiant Abyss Controlling Realm - Eternal Fate Crown" suddenly rose into the sky, forcibly activating "Fate Realm Protection"!

I will not let you touch the source of my destiny!

However, the black markings of the Silent Abyss were not an attack.

It directly penetrates spatial logic, leaping to the "pre-established region" of the life source.

Before he activated his martial spirit.

"You're going to go back to the time before I even conceived my martial soul?!"

-Dan Guikui roared, wielding the [Radiant Epoch Severing Axe - Silent Wheel Blade], unleashing a "Reverse Barrier".

An attempt was made to sever the path leading to the Silent Origin.

But this power of Silent Origin doesn't pass through; it "strips" away.

"Trace the Spirit Abyss" is not about finding traces, but about preventing the enemy from having any means to establish themselves.

The axe blade missed its mark. A cold glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes. He drew a circular abyss seal with his finger and said softly:

"Your skill chains... only exist because logic allows them. Then I—will take away that permission."

The next instant, the entire base of the arena collapsed!

The black abyss patterns transformed into soul chains, which actually entangled the "Skill Origin Node" behind Luo Yuncang and Dan Guikui!

-Strange Phenomenon: The Source of a Barren Fate

Luo Yuncang was astonished to discover--

His martial soul, "Eternal Fate Crown," and its Radiant Abyss Belt began to extinguish rapidly!

The "Epoch-Slaying Wheel" before Dan Guikui crumbled and disintegrated layer by layer, as if the very power that once dominated history had been stripped of its very foundation!

Their Innate Martial Soul are losing their "qualification to exist as skills"!

The entire audience was horrified!

"This... is not a broken technique, this is a source-tracing blockade!"

"This kind of skill isn't just powerful; it completely overwhelms others in terms of 'skill logic structure hierarchy'!"

Qin Yu remained silent, the abyssal seal beneath his feet swirling, and a whisper rose again:

"Since you cannot bear the weight of 'existence as a skill,' then return to the Silent Abyss."

The power of the Abyss shifted to suppression, beginning to [seal the foundation of the twin pillars' skills]!

On either side of the arena, one person's martial spirit went out, and another's karmic wheel shattered!

Luo Yuncang roared, forcibly tearing open a wisp of the remnant of fate's trajectory to release a defensive technique, only to find that even the technique chain was no longer responding!

"The technology chain... has failed?!"

Dan Guikui wanted to reconstruct the logic of his ideas, but it was as if his hand, which was about to put down his pen, was held down, and he could not even muster up any "technical intent" again!

At this moment, the entire venue was deathly silent.

Ji Sichen and Shu Xunyan both showed surprise.

A familiar smile appeared in Zi Xue's and Extinguished Light's eyes:

"This is the real Qin Yu." "He doesn't fight with enemies; he simply erases the very definition of 'enemy'."

In the center of the arena, Qin Yu walked slowly forward, withdrawing all the Silent Abyss patterns, and the black mist returned to his palm like silk threads.

"You mean you want to suppress my technical logic?"

"Unfortunately, your skills never truly existed in my eyes."

Section 5: Skill and Spirit Shattered, Fate's Path Ends in Dusk!

Qin Yu stood quietly in the center of the arena. The aura of Silent Abyss had not dissipated; instead, it spun in his palm into a ring of faint light.

The moment the words "Reflecting Gate Tower" were uttered, everything lost its luster.

⸻ · Silent Ring · Return to the Abyss Diagram, Reflecting Gate Tower

--Using the Silent Abyss of Fate Soul as a map, and drawing anomalies with the core of the Silent Ring, the "future manifestation" of the enemy's skills is projected into the present, and the possibility of its future existence is severed.

At this moment, two phantom figures suddenly appeared on the arena— Luo Yuncang's "Destiny Trajectory Reconstruction Defense Technique" to be used in the next five seconds, and Dan Guikui's "Chronological Reverse Slash Chain" to be torn open.

These two futures shouldn't have happened now.

But—I was forcibly pulled to this moment by "Reflecting Gate Tower".

Luo Yuncang alarmed:

"That was supposed to be my Fate Realm array five seconds from now? How come it's already appeared?!"

Even more terrifying, the protective array collapsed under the abyssal force the very next second it appeared, without even a struggle!

-Dan Guikui roared and unleashed his axe blade:

"Epoch-Slaying Wheel - Shattering the Sky!!" A horizontal axe cleaved through the air!

But in the air, what appeared was [Reflecting Gate Tower]'s reflection—his "Chain Reversal Collapse" state five seconds later!

He witnessed firsthand the backlash, the backlash from his own skill chain, and the breakdown of his own skill logic...

Then, that "future disaster" happened ahead of schedule!

His axe blade snapped halfway through, the backlash severing the lifeline of his right arm!

The entire audience was stunned! This was more than just "anticipation" or "prevention."

Instead, it directly brings about and destroys the future consequences of the enemy's skills!

Qin Yu remained silent, only gently raising his palm. The Silent Ring Black Abyss Diagram slowly rotated, as if the night curtain were falling, covering the sky above the arena.

The two temple guardians are completely unable to construct a closed loop of causal relationships for their skills.

"You have severed the source of skill." "You have stolen the form of skill."

"Then, all that remains is—the annihilation of technique."

No one spoke again from the sidelines.

Extinguished Light smiled slightly, as if he had expected this.

Zi Xue nodded gently, murmuring, "This Silent Ring Reflecting Gate Tower... is practically a death sentence for the future."

Yan Yue's eyes flickered with emotion as she said in a deep voice, "He hasn't even used his full strength yet."

At either end of the arena, Luo Yuncang knelt on one knee, his face ashen.

Blood spilled from Dan Guikui's mouth, and his breath grew weak.

Qin Yu, however, simply walked forward slowly, the wheel imprint spinning in the air for one last time.

The battles that follow will be devoid of any fancy moves.
