Fury Burns the Record of Fate · The Beginning of the Annihilation Chains

Conradiance Halls, the morning light gently spilled onto the Radiant Palace, and the palace doors slowly closed.

Qin Yu entered the main hall with a calm demeanor, his gaze clear and sharp, as if he had already concealed all his plans in his heart. He looked at the four people who were already waiting in the hall. Yan Yue sat on the jade couch with a normal expression, Zi Xue and Yunyi stood on the left and right sides respectively, and Extinguished Light leaned against a jade pillar alone. The five people had different expressions, but their eyes were all on Qin Yu.

"The plan has changed." Qin Yu spoke, his tone steady yet tinged with seriousness.

Yan Yue immediately realized what had happened and gently raised her eyes. "What's wrong?"

Qin Yu nodded. "I just returned from Law-Reflecting True Abyss. Mirror Abyss, Yu Yuance, and the representatives of the Nightmare God Clan have joined forces... Not only are they planning to attack me ahead of schedule, but now there's also the Returning Consciousness Clan, and they're going to target you, especially Zi Xue." He looked at Yan Yue, then at Zi Xue, "And you, Yunyi, and Extinguished Light."

A cold glint flashed in Zi Xue's eyes, and she said in a cold voice, "As expected, they're just a bunch of cowards; they finally couldn't hold back anymore."

Qin Yu smiled slightly, but his smile held a sharp edge, "But this suits me just fine. They want to set a trap, so we'll set a counter-trap."

"The counter-hunting plan continues," he said in unchanging tone, "But... we need to change our strategy now."

Yan Yue nodded slightly, as if she had expected this. "Go ahead and make the arrangements."

Qin Yu turned around and sat down on the ground in the center of the main hall. He raised a finger, and a illusory light wheel constructed by the Fate Soul the Annihilation Abyss appeared in the hall. One after another, the Fate-Trajectory Star Array slowly unfolded, as if it were a thousand layers of future layout.

"We will no longer wait for them to make a move. The next mission— the Epoch Origin Spirit Ash Ruins Secret Realm —will be the key to their actions, and we... will uproot them completely."

"This time, I didn't enter the secret realm alone; we turned the tables on them in a way they never imagined," Qin Yu said coldly. "I'll inform Wang Long; he needs to know too."

He spoke slowly, his voice low:

"The plan is in place; we will not wait any longer."

He looked at Zi Xue, his gaze both gentle and cold. "This time, you must set off alone—but this is a trap, not a real expedition."

Zi Xue was taken aback, then nodded. "You want to lure Feng Li out?"

Qin Yu smiled faintly, "Not only do we need to lure him out, but we also need to completely annihilate him within the destiny we've set for him."

Extinguished Light suddenly chuckled softly, "Finally here, this is getting interesting."

Yunyi blinked, her playful expression masking a suppressed killing intent. "So, can we... now safely collect some interest?"

Yan Yue chuckled softly, "Before I take action, I'll make them understand what true 'future blockade' really means."

Qin Yu stood up, his eyes blazing, gazing at the towering morning light outside the palace gates.

"In this round, we'll begin writing." "We're now starting our first step in the plan."

Qin Yu took a sip of tea, slowly rose, his gaze calm yet cold. "To lure them into a trap, someone needs to be the bait."

Zi Xue stood up, her phoenix eyes slightly raised, her expression unwavering. "This task is mine."

Yan Yue nodded gently. "Yunyi and I will secretly set up a triple causal chain for you."

Extinguished Light smiled faintly, "I will make sure he can't even fully release his 'doubts,' like a remnant soul locked in eternal night."

Without uttering any further words, the five began a counterattack plan that was virtually undetectable even within the temple.

Three days later, the Temple Mission Hall announced a new mission: "Recovering Abnormal Fluctuations in Spirit Crystals in the Eastern Realm Star Cavern".

These low-level missions, while risky, were far from warranting the dispatch of guards. However, to everyone's surprise, the recipient was: Zi Xue.

"Zi Xue actually accepted this kind of mission? Isn't she always working alongside Yan Yue?"

"Could it be a clandestine operation...?"

Amid the discussion, Feng Li, standing on the viewing platform, raised an eyebrow and quietly pressed the "Soul Lock" in her hand against the Fate Track Wall—to confirm its authenticity.

Task registration: Valid

Coordinate Authentication: Eastern Realm Star Cavern - Main Crystal Vein Outer Ring

Time point: Three quarters after Chen Shi (7:45 AM)

Star patterns swirled on the array plate, and a pale golden soul light appeared, illuminating the cold, sharp face in the secret chamber.

Yu Yuance stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the fluctuating coordinate nodes on the soul disk in front of him, his brows twitching slightly.

"Zi Xue..." he murmured softly, then a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "She actually chose to go to the Outer Realm Star Cave alone?"

Feng Li stood at the lower end, her expression slightly surprised, but she instantly understood the other party's intention and whispered, "Does Your Excellency think that this might be... a breakthrough?"

Yu Yuance sneered, "She's only survived this long because she's always stuck with Yan Yue, Qin Yu, and the others. Now she's actually breaking away from the group. Such foolishness is a rare opportunity."

He slowly turned around, his footsteps landing beside the soul runes, his voice cold and authoritative. "This woman has already advanced to the Final Cycle Middle Stage, and is also a descendant of the Xuanfeng bloodline. If she is not eliminated, the consequences will be endless."

"You took action yourself."

Feng Li's eyes narrowed, and she slightly bowed, saying, "Yes."

Yu Yuance stood with his hands behind his back by the long window in front of the wall, gazing at the starlight flowing between the floating platforms of the distant temple, and said in a deep voice:

"This matter must not be alarmed by others, nor is it necessary to consult the Venerable Master."

"If she dies in outer space, who can say anything?"

"She just went out on a mission, it's just... she didn't come back."

Feng Li nodded, her tone icy. "Understood. When the soul is annihilated, no trace remains."

He vanished into the afterimage with a swift movement, stepping into the pre-arranged teleportation path...

Yu Yuance remained motionless for a long time, until the soul light completely extinguished, before finally uttering a faint sentence:

"Qin Yu... you ultimately can't protect everyone."

Meanwhile, Qin Yu was making arrangements for Yunyi.

Illusion Construction - Triple Misconception Operator: Yunyi

Meanwhile, under Qin Yu's command, Yunyi went to the target location alone. She summoned the "Illusionary Soul Dragon Body" and used her soul veins to drag out three reconstructed images.

The first layer of illusion: simulates the fluctuations of real spirit crystals, making Soul Arts perception flawless;

The second layer of illusion: Constructing the soul wave dynamics of "Zi Xue" to simulate its detection, pause, and breath adjustment;

The third layer of illusion: locking onto the visitor's sensory echo, making Feng Li unable to discern whether she is being monitored.

At three-quarters past Chen hour, Zi Xue "appeared" in the center of the illusion, her attire transformed back into the Xuanjin battle armor of her original Star-Commanding Mystic Phoenix form, a faint star flame burning on her forehead. She stepped into the illusionary barrier, releasing a highly recognizable "causal burning mark"—her unique battle residual energy wave, easily attracting the attention of those familiar with her:

She really came alone.

Feng Li was indeed tempted.

Instead of immediately taking action, he summoned a "Soul-Gazing Spirit Scale" refined from his soul consciousness and quietly observed from afar.

The spirit scale flew in, but broke through two layers of illusion, revealing a perfectly "normal" rhythm of Zi Xue pressure and mission operation status.

--It fell for the trick.

From behind the silent abyss, a faint soul shadow flickered. Feng Li sneered, "A temple disciple who dares to act alone... Zi Xue, you overestimate yourself."

He pointed with his left hand, locking the Soul Armor in place. With a flick of his right hand, three spiritual chains shot out, directly locking onto the illusory Zi Xue!

But—just as the spirit chain pierced into "Zi Xue's " body, a chilling voice seemed to echo from the depths of the earth:

"You locked away... not me."

"You are the one who is locked up."

--Yan Yue has entered.

At this moment, Feng Li's expression changed, and she instantly tried to retreat and escape. She redirected her soul consciousness to attempt to activate the spatial transfer mechanism, but discovered—

His [Technical Track Source] was no longer responding; his soul was bound by chains, and the feedback signal was severely delayed, making even retreating seem like it was three breaths too slow.

This is not a simple ambush.

This is a series of interconnected surgical procedures.

Just as he was about to call for "Soul Ash to return to aid," [Extinguished Light] slowly appeared in the surrounding space, giving a cold smile:

"Sorry, your reaction was exactly what I expected."

Feng Li's pupils contracted as he suddenly realized that all the Fate Cause Chain around him had been subtly broken. He tried to use his soul consciousness technique, but only felt a dull and sluggish feeling.

"This is... a Fate Track Sealing Technique? No, this isn't just a simple seal, it's... severing the source?"

"Oh no, this is... Yan Yue's 'Cause-Sealing Barrier'!"

Deep within Star Valley, a silvery-white stream of energy slowly seeped from the void, and Yan Yue's figure stood silently, a soul diagram formed in her hand by reversed radiance and silent chains:

"Final Origin Annihilation Breath - Lock the Source and Seal the Cause!"

The soul diagram in Yan Yue's hand expanded instantly, distorting the void, and chain-like ripples emanated from the space around Feng Li.

In that instant, his skill activation path was completely frozen—he couldn't write the prerequisite causal logic, and he couldn't activate any skill prelude!

"You..." Feng Li's eyes widened in shock as she attempted to forcibly tear through space and escape.

However, the next moment-

A beam of dark, Annihilation Light Brush down from the sky.

Extinguished Light had already stood atop the valley, the "Annihilation Radiance Soul Feather" longsword in his hand transforming into six layers of life chains as it fell.

"Annihilation Light Judging Lord the Sever and Establish Realm Causes!"

The six-layered soul chains, like an iron seal that severed life, engulfed and locked away all components around Feng Li that represented "escape possibilities."

This is not just a blockade of combat skills, but a life-or-death severance at the level of "world logic recognition".

From this moment forward—you cannot escape, cannot be saved, and cannot be rescued in this world.

For the first time, Feng Li showed a look of despair. "This is impossible... With your abilities..."

Extinguished Light glanced down at him and replied coldly, "Whether you live or die... that's up to us."

Yan Yue and Extinguished Light stand side by side in the air, forming the complete [Cause Annihilation: Locked Road Dead End]:

Upper Sealing of Life Source

Lower break space

Internal locking chain

External Time Track

Feng Li became a soul trapped in a cage.

The Star Silence Illusion Valley is now sealed off by the Silent Light. At this moment, the valley is deathly silent, without wind or sound, and even the spread of light seems to have slowed down by several breaths.

Beneath the dome, where destiny was sealed and techniques were frozen, a familiar figure quietly descended.

His silver-black robes trembled slightly, and he moved silently with each step. The Annihilation Abyss Soul Map slowly followed him in his palm.

--Qin Yu, arrives.

The moment Feng Li looked up, it was as if she saw the end of her entire destiny.

"You... how could this be..." His Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes, once sharp, were now filled with terror.

Qin Yu remained silent, then pointed his right finger into the air, Annihilation Abyss Soul Diagram to rotate slightly. He then uttered five words in a low voice:

"The Master Book - Cause Severing Name."

In an instant, Feng Li's "Name of Fate"—that is, the "definitive call to one's own existence" in all skills—was forcibly deleted.

He felt as if his soul had been severed, and he lost all authority over the logic of the world. At this moment, Feng Li was no longer a life form "possessing complete right to exist," but merely an undefined remnant.

Feng Li wanted to shout and struggle, but within the chain of Fate-Cause sealed by Yan Yue and Extinguished Light, even his roars were just a string of gibberish, not recognized by heaven and earth.

Qin Yu raised his left palm, and a jet-black seal appeared.

"Sever the Epoch Without a Trace."

"--You should no longer be recorded in history."

In the Ji Ran, countless fragments of text and symbols appeared around Star Valley, all traces of battle, remnants of words, and logical components left by Feng Li in his records.

At this moment, they shattered one by one, and were retrogradely swallowed up.

"Sever the Epoch Without a Trace" means erasing existence from the level of world memory.

Extinguished Light added calmly, "You won't die in battle... you will 'never exist'."

The chains in Yan Yue's hands finally emitted a silver light, completely sealing the core link of Feng Li's soul core.

Qin Yu swiftly approached, his finger landing at the center of the soul's consciousness, leaving only four words:

" To Sever Fate, Cut Off Return."

This is the coldest strike of the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword —death prevents reincarnation.

In an instant, Feng Li's existence structure completely collapsed, his sea of consciousness vanished, his destiny was severed, his soul was no longer recorded, and his name was no longer written down.

The heavens and earth did not shake, but some kind of world logic was silently changing: this person had never lived.

The three stood side by side atop Star Valley, looking back at the place that had turned to dust and desolation.

Zi Xue and Yunyi sensed it from afar and neither made a move—there was no need to.

Extinguished Light calmly sheathed his sword and said, "The first step is over."

Yan Yue's gaze remained calm. "It's their turn to panic."

Qin Yu nodded slightly, turned and left, his figure slowly merging into the starlight.

Deep within the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall's Hidden Corridor lies a forbidden, secret hall.

A ghostly blue light flickered, and a mirror suddenly shattered, turning into a hazy, gray mist.

Before the mirror, Yu Yuance suddenly stood up, his sleeves waving away the mist, his face twitching slightly amidst its icy expression.

"... Disappeared? How could this be? That Zi Xue was clearly only at the Final Cycle Realm, the Supreme Realm of Feng Li Annihilation Lord Realm, how could she be directly deleted by Annihilation?"

Feng Li's aura—not only vanished, but all means of tracing, sensing, deducing, and reflecting his soul were rendered useless. It was as if this person had never existed in this era.

"Who did this?" Yu Yuance gritted his teeth and whispered, a raging fire burning in his eyes. "Who laid a hand on me... Who dares to touch my people! Qin Yu..."

Very well, I underestimated you with that skill. Then let's settle things once and for all in the Epoch Origin Ash Ruins Secret Realm.

With a single palm strike, several records on the Fate Soul Mirror wall beside him shattered instantly, along with several hidden sentries lurking in the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall.

--This was a hidden plot he had been laying for years, and now that Feng Li has been eliminated, the entire chain has collapsed.

This attack not only shattered Feng Li, but also severed the first line of Yu Yuance's years of planning.

At this moment, the Returning Consciousness Clan branch hall, the Nightmare God Clan side hall, the True Word Extremity Hall branch... several forces that had already secretly joined forces with Yu Yuance all faintly felt the sudden appearance of a "void" in the flow of Fate-Cause.

"Someone has committed an act that cannot be written down."

"It's an Ultimate erasure technique... leaving no trace of reincarnation..."

"This comes from 'Silent Origin Logic'... and may even be a starting point at the level of Annihilation Dawn Origin."

Many reclusive elders simultaneously looked up and whispered the same name:

"Qin Yu..."
