The Divine Hall's Five Radiances · The New Guards' First Investiture
The wind ceased, the sound vanished, and only Qin Yu remained alone on the arena, his robes fluttering slightly, the power of the Silent Origin swirling around his body, as if his very Fate-Cause transformed into a surging tide, rolling beneath his feet.
He slowly raised his left hand, pointing it towards the sky, and the power of the Silent Ring resonated with it.
And the next strike of the Silent Ring Return to the Abyss Diagram finally came—"Ring Descent."
The sound was not loud, yet it was like an Annihilation Xingyun.
In an instant, a bottomless vortex ring appeared above the entire arena. This ring was not of material construction, but rather engraved with the trajectories of fate, patterned with chains, and powered by time itself.
Directly drag Luo Yuncang and Dan Guikui's "battle logic field" into it!
Skill - Silent Ring - Return to the Abyss Diagram "Ring Descent"
--Locate the target's position within the "skill logic" and forcibly remove it from the main combat logic domain, causing the enemy to lose [battlefield control] with every move!
⸻
Luo Yuncang:
His completed "Radiant Abyss Fate-Lock Barrier" was stripped away during the Ring Descent, with each protective barrier torn to shreds like paper, and even his Innate Martial Soul "Eternal Fate Crown" began to tremble violently!
"No, something's not right! The life-or-death linkage I set up this time... why has it completely failed?"
He finally understood that the "Ring Descent" force was not a skill that attacked him, but rather it had stripped him from the "logical stage" of the entire battle!
Dan Guikui:
With a roar, he swung the "Radiant Epoch Severing Axe" once more, its sound carrying the soul-shaking power to shatter records.
But the moment the axe blade was thrown, it "disconnected" from the Ring Descent, the axe shadow disappearing into the void. The entire skill, like a draft ripped from reality, suddenly—"failed."
-
On the arena, the two temple guards, one in front and one behind, were completely trapped in a state of "skills without foundation".
All skills, all defenses—under the law of this Silent Ring, are utterly useless.
But Qin Yu did not stop.
Silent Origin's aura grew increasingly heavy. He stomped his foot, and obsidian star patterns spread across the arena, causing the atmosphere in the entire arena to collapse once again!
-
"Extinction Trace."
He uttered two words, pointed his finger, and beneath the "Ring Descent," traces of broken skill tracks suddenly appeared—traces of all the skills the enemy had once used but had been canceled.
This time, he didn't just strip away the enemy's techniques; he wiped them all out!
⸻
Skill - Silent Ring - Return to the Abyss Diagram "Extinction Trace"
--Annihilate the enemy's combat records, completely erasing all activated skills from their Fate-Cause trajectory, as if they were never used!
--Furthermore, it forcibly erases the [enemy's Innate Martial Soul release trajectory], creating a "skill vacuum dead zone".
⸻
Luo Yuncang looked at his "Eternal Fate Crown" in horror; at this moment, it was already—
Cracks are everywhere, and the future technological support has completely vanished!
"How is this possible... Even the skills I used before have been... erased?!"
-
Dan Guikui was even more horrified. "You actually managed to annihilate my martial soul release record?! How did you...?"
Before he finished speaking, the axe spirit's shadow behind him vanished with a roar.
He completely lost his sense of his Innate Martial Soul, as if he had never possessed it at all!
-
Below the arena, Ji Sichen slowly rose to his feet.
"This technique... Extinction Trace... is even more terrifying than annihilation."
Extinguished Light's lips curled into a smile, "This is the final judgment on his true trajectory."
Zi Xue added casually:
"It's not over yet—he hasn't used his final blow."
-
Yan Yue looked at the center of the arena, a soft light flashing in her eyes, and her lips parted slightly:
"Qin Yu, it's time to wrap this up."
-
In the arena, Qin Yu slowly opened his right hand, and a complete Silent Ring pattern appeared.
All techniques are broken, all tracks are silent, all defenses are crumbled!
This is the final and strongest Ultimate skill of the Silent Ring: Return to the Abyss Diagram!
The silence on the arena lasted only a moment.
In that instant, the entire Fate-Authority Law Pillars seemed to lose its breath.
This moment was a silence so profound that even the wind dared not stir it. Because— Qin Yu moved.
In his hand, the ring-shaped diagram formed by the Silent Origin slowly rose into the air, as if the lifeline of the entire battlefield was being lifted up. He stood in the center, his soul focused on the abyss, his eyes undisturbed, only the prelude to the end echoing through heaven and earth.
"Silent Ring Return to the Abyss Diagram - Ring Master Resonance, Abyss Explosion."
This moment.
The entire arena suddenly trembled, and space began to fold!
The logic of heaven and earth was forced to cooperate with Qin Yu's design. This technique was neither destruction nor suppression, but resonance, pulling the enemy and its own destiny logic into the annihilation zone of the same frequency!
The Ultimate skill of the Silent Ring Return to the Abyss Diagram is "Ring Master Resonance - Abyss Explosion".
--After the enemy was doubly sealed off by the Ring Descent and the Extinction Trace, Qin Yu activated the "Fate Resonance Field";
--Forcibly dragging the enemy's existence logic into "self -Annihilation Origin and resonance";
--Once the resonance is achieved, all of the enemy's techniques, life trajectories, skill chains, martial spirits, and statuses will be simultaneously detonated within the "Annihilation Explosion Domain," returning to Annihilation!
This move is no longer an "attack".
Rather, it means. "You exist within the logic I have established, so you will ultimately come to my end."
-boom----!!
The logic of the explosion of heaven and earth resounded throughout the top of the Fate Authority, and the Silent Ring Pattern spread from the arena to the high-altitude star ring, directly disintegrating the twin pillar areas into the Annihilation Realm!
The audience was already gasping in astonishment.
At this moment— Luo Yuncang power was forcibly activated, and the entire Fate Track Lock was like a broken stringed harp, wailing and shattering!
"My destiny... revolves entirely around that ring diagram... I... I am being reconstructed!?"
His shouts were drowned out as he was swept away by the power of the "Ring Master Resonance," and his consciousness nearly collapsed.
-Dan Guikui in an even worse situation!
He had lost most of his martial soul connection in the Extinction Trace and had not yet stabilized his state when he was pulled into a resonance state. At this moment, even his future attack intentions were annihilated one by one.
He forced a roar, "I... haven't lost yet--"
But Qin Yu's eyes remained calm and unfathomable.
He retracted his left palm—"Abyss Explosion!" Boom!!
Dan Guikui's Innate Martial Soul, "Epoch-Slaying Wheel," was directly annihilated amidst the spatial tremors. The future axe shadow vanished like mist, and he transformed into a streak of light, blasted off the arena.
At the same time, Luo Yuncang could no longer withstand the resonance of logic throughout the arena. He flew backward for thirty feet and landed with no will to fight left.
On the arena, only Qin Yu stood.
The robes settled, Silent Origin Soul Pattern slowly dissipated, as if he had never made a move.
Silence returned.
Ji Sichen's expression was solemn. This wasn't the first time he had witnessed Qin Yu's actions, but this time, he couldn't help but slowly rise to his feet.
"Challenging the two temple guards... using the ultimate technique of the Silent Ring to seal both pillars in one battle."
The entire stadium finally erupted in thunderous cheers!
"He's too strong!!" "Is he a monster?!"
"This is... Qin Yu! The strongest new disciple of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall!!"
Extinguished Light looked at him and murmured to himself:
"This is still... without using the Azure Ring."
Yan Yue smiled slightly, "He has never failed."
Zi Xue softly echoed, "Under the Abyss Explosion, who could remain undisturbed?"
Finally, Ji Sichen announced loudly:
Qin Yu has successfully challenged the third and fourth pillars of the Fate-Authority Law Pillars!
The two guards, though seriously injured, withdrew with smiles and nods.
Luo Yuncang smiled wryly and cupped his hands to Qin Yu:
"This battle... I have no regrets."
Dan Guikui Ze laughed heartily:
"Junior Brother Qin, if there is a battlefield, I am willing to serve as your deputy!"
Although the two were defeated, they harbored no resentment; on the contrary, they developed a sense of respect for Qin Yu.
The crowd below the ring was already in an uproar.
After Dan Guikui and Luo Yuncang stepped down, the entire arena remained silent for a few breaths before Ji Sichen finally stepped onto the stage.
His expression was solemn as he swept his gaze over Qin Yu, Luo Guifeng, Yan Yue, Mirror Abyss Yu, Lan Xuanzhou. His voice, like the tolling of a bell at dusk, echoed atop the Fate-Authority Law Pillars:
"In this round of the Fate-Authority Law Pillars challenge, all five disciples who advanced successfully reached the top, thus successfully challenging the guardian of the pillar."
"With your own destiny, you have shaken the laws of the realm; with your skills and knowledge, you have earned the highest recognition from the temple."
His gaze swept over the five people, and finally he slowly raised his hand, announcing:
"From this moment forward, the Abyss of Fate Sequence officially ends!"
"The five individuals will immediately enter the [Conferment of Fate Authority] stage, seal the soul light of their Fate Pillars, and officially advance to the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall - Temple Guardians!"
Boom--!!
As the sound fell, thousands of soul drums and Lü Yin bells resounded throughout the entire area of Fate-Authority Law Pillars. On the long staircase with soul patterns, the five Life Pillars shone brightly into the sky, like heavenly pillars that pierced through the Soul Domain!
Before the five people, five seals of Fate Authority appeared, each engraved with its own destiny trajectory and soul pattern, slowly hovering in the air.
At this very moment--
Yan Yue closed her eyes slightly, waiting for the soul to be sealed and imprinted.
Mirror Abyss Yu, wielding the twin mirrors, gently touched the life seal and whispered, "True words never perish."
Lan Xuanzhou looked up at the sky, clenched his fist, and whispered, "I will guard this duty with my life."
Luo Guifeng's expression was as indifferent as ever, but for the first time he lowered his head and nodded gently to the life seal.
Only Qin Yu stood beneath the pillar of life, his soul stirring slightly, but he remained silent.
But Zi Xue, Yunyi, Extinguished Light all understood—
"His fate was never going to end there."
The Fate Authority was bestowed, and the light of destiny surged in. The five seals were branded on the souls, and the auras of the five people changed drastically. From this moment on, the Temple Guardians were officially born!
In the distance, Shu Xunyan a long sigh of relief and whispered to the person next to her with a smile:
"The Eternal Evolution Realm Hall has finally welcomed a true new pillar."
Ji Sichen looked up at the sky one last time and declared:
"The guardians of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall have officially completed their promotions; five have entered the pillars, their souls illuminating the divine realm!"
The entire venue erupted in cheers once again. At this point—
After the life pillars were sealed, the five life seals slowly returned to silence, transforming into five beams of spiritual light that fell like starlight, reflecting into the five people's sea of consciousness and completing the final imprint.
Ji Sichen turned to face Qin Yu and the other four, his expression solemn yet his eyes filled with satisfaction, and slowly spoke:
"Five newly appointed temple guards, from this moment on, you are not only members of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall, but also among the guardians of the highest order of the Source of Epochless."
"Next, please follow me to the [Guardian Temple - Heavenly Radiance Hall], where you will formally meet the Temple Guardian Commander and receive the rank conferment ceremony."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Sichen waved his sleeve and parted a spatial staircase leading to the depths of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall.
The five exchanged glances, said nothing, and stepped forward.
Yan Yue's steps were quiet and as usual, but her aura was as calm and steady as the sea;
The Luo Guifeng is like a slanting moon sinking into the clouds, silent and still.
Mirror Abyss Yu glanced at the distant pillar of destiny, his mind churning, but he only smiled and remained silent;
Lan Xuanzhou let out a soft sigh, sheathed his longsword, and a smile finally appeared on his lips;
Qin Yu, however, remained as calm and resolute as ever, just like every step he had taken on the path of his destiny.
"What is destined beforehand, I will write afterward."
Above the spatial staircase, the five traveled like stars, flying towards the deepest part of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall—
"Guardian Location: Heavenly Radiance Divine Hall"
That is where the true Fate Authority resides, the very root of the temple's protection.
There, they will receive their final investiture, titles, and...
The true mission.
