Ash Abyss Secret Lake, Eerie Marsh Abyss.
Under the dim sky, Qin Yu stood alone on the shore of the Lake of Corruption. Mist floated around him, fine and dense like the whispers of the dead. With each step he took, the mud beneath his feet hissed and twisted, as if corroding the very logic of existence itself.
Qin Yu's pupils narrowed slightly.
He knew that this was not just a simple mythical beast from a secret realm, but a logical derivative inhabiting the "Ash Epoch Origin Calamity." Its body could not only corrode the soul, but also disrupt the causal relationship of propositions. If this beast was not destroyed, it would surely become one of the sources of future calamities!
Before the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare was unleashed, its entire body of branches and spirits surged, and the rustling sound was like the withered laughter of hundreds of wronged souls.
The next moment--
The Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare suddenly swung out three ghostly branches, which transformed into three chains of corrupted souls, locking onto Qin Yu's position from the air. Each chain was mixed with the annihilation flames of reversed cause and effect! Broken "fragments of fate tracks" appeared in the void, as if the life bars of enemies torn apart by this beast were still wailing!
"This is the Soul Chain Assault of the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare... Those whose fate is unstable will die instantly upon contact."
Qin Yu's eyes remained fixed, his steps shifted, and his soul sank into utter silence!
"Silent Origin - Eternally Sever the Heavenly Balance."
With a thrust of his finger, the entire life structure around him instantly became "absolutely stable." The moment the three chains of corrupted souls rushed in, they were as if they had crashed into a silent abyss, and were "annihilated" into a state of stillness, shattered into dust of Spiritual Sense, and swallowed by time and space!
The Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare roared, its soul form changing again. It spat out countless "ash soul shadows" from its mouth, all of which were remnants of Fate Soul that had been corrupted by it. They tore through space like ghostly scribbles and rushed straight towards Qin Yu's sea of consciousness!
"Soul Abyss Return... This is the second killing move of the Rotting Nightmare Spirit Mirror."
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, starlight surged beneath his feet, and the seal in his palm slowly opened.
"Initial Fate - Writing-Opening Seal!"
A law of "rebooting the logic of fate" emerged. He raised his hand and instantly reconstructed his sea of consciousness into an "untainted initial state." The moment those soul shadows crashed into it, they all turned into "noise that never existed" and were annihilated at the source of the concept!
As the battle began, the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare suddenly became enraged, its consciousness churning, and thousands of rotten roots spread across the sky, constructing a "Rotting Soul Shade Realm." Light within it was completely distorted, and the world seemed to transform into a gray-white book whose past had been erased!
Qin Yu raised his head and watched as the domain, which resembled a "sealed-off battle structure," slowly closed in.
He whispered:
"A good start... but it's just the start."
The Rotting Soul Shade Realm has completely closed.
In an instant, heaven and earth transformed into a "folded page of ashes," inscribed with countless withered characters, all "residual incantations of the deceased's fate," as if even the heavens themselves had been incorporated into the Book of Fate Soul Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare! The entire spatial order resembled the tattered pages of a torn book, twisted, peeled away, and vibrating.
This is no longer a battlefield.
This is the Ash Realm Prison Book constructed from the memories of the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare's main soul.
It is the "Library of the Souls of the Dead". All those who enter will have their skills' causes and effects, release trajectories, and conceptual logic extracted and placed into this realm for "joint review". If the logic is not a closed loop, it will be erased as a failed component!
Qin Yu within the prison book, his soul power began to be "devoured"!
The ashes of the book were turning, pulling out the logical trajectory of his skill usage page by page, attempting to judge it as an "irregular technique" and forcibly delete it!
The Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare roared incessantly, its soul body gradually changing. The "Heart of the Soul Abyss" in its chest began to surge with more than a dozen "Ash Ropes," tearing through the air like soul-sealing chains and wrapping around Qin Yu!
"In this realm, everything about you is subject to 'judgment logic'."
"Your 'existence permission' must be confirmed by my Heart of the Ash Abyss."
Its voice was like that of a god of the underworld.
--This is the third stage ability of the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare: Prison Book Soul Weaving - Causal Track Joint Judgement!
But the next moment-
A Realm Breaking, dark light suddenly flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.
He took a step forward, and all the shackles of destiny instantly disintegrated. Strands of starlight logic formed bridges of light beneath his feet. He slowly raised his hand and pointed a finger at the core of the pages in the void!
You can edit books.
"But you cannot seal my book."
"The Master Book - Cause Severing Name."
Boom--!!
Above heaven and earth, the "Ash Realm Prison Book," which was constantly devouring the trajectories of fate, suddenly emitted a loud bang! Among its thousands of fragmented pages, a golden ink mark suddenly pierced through and tore apart its core structure!
That is the power of the "Fate Soul Master Book".
That is a method that "absolutely forbids the use of names".
--The power of the Master Book is the highest authority holder of the causal chain of fate, while what the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare uses is merely a "pseudo- Soul Book Chain" that imitates the trajectory of the dead, and cannot withstand the "assertive power" of the true Master Book!
Suddenly, the entire Ash Realm Prison Book burst into flames!
All remnants of Qin Yu's logic, soul chains, and causal bonds that attempted to devour him were utterly destroyed!
The Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare let out a painful roar, its entire soul body trembling uncontrollably. The gray chains shattered suddenly like broken strings, and the light core in the heart of the Soul Abyss was violently shaken.
It raises its three soul-soul arms, intending to reconstruct a new world!
But--
Qin Yu calmly made his move, and the handprint on his palm changed once again!
"Silent Origin, Trace the Spirit Abyss."
With a single seal, the entire flow of souls, consciousness, and trajectories throughout heaven and earth reversed and flowed backward.
It was as if all paths of existence in the world were being swept away by the current!
"Trace the Spirit Abyss" is the core reverse flow skill of the Silent Origin system. Once formed, it can suppress the enemy's soul and consciousness back to the "Primordial Chaos" state.
The Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare's Fate Soul core, covered in corrupted souls and with distorted cause and effect, instantly succumbed to "source point shattering"!
The aura of ash is receding violently!
Above the sky, the realm that had been twisted like a folded page in a nightmare collapsed violently at this moment, shattering into countless dust particles that fell like raindrops, and the entire battlefield fell silent.
Qin Yu stood silently in the dust and rain, his robes unmoved, his aura as deep and profound as an ancient abyss.
--He used two techniques to shatter the strongest defensive mechanism of the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare's "Ash Realm Prison Book".
But he knew.
This is just the beginning.
The true soul core of the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare has not yet been deployed to break through its defenses.
And he will not allow this battle to be dragged into a deeper logical trap.
"The next step is to sever your soul chain logic."
You are not allowed to corrupt another person's life.
The furious roar of the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare shattered the silence completely.
After the "Ash Realm Prison Book" was annihilated, its rage surged like Ming Yuan. The corrupted grey core within its body erupted with countless grey rays, like deep grey flames, carrying an irreversible curse of corruption, scorching the entire space.
But it did not become manic.
In that instant, it began to utilize the core power deep within its body—
Soul Chain Logic Power!
Boom!!!
The sky above Qin Yu's head suddenly collapsed, and gray soul chains fell from the depths of space. Each chain was faintly engraved with the obsession of the "deceased" and an unfinished incantation—they were not just attack components, but complete logical cause and effect!
[Ash Cause Ring Devouring]: Absorbs the enemy's skill chain with "corrupted logic", and then uses the obsession of the dead to form a cycle chain, causing reverse pollution.
These chains have no physical striking power, yet they devour the legitimacy of destiny's trajectory!
If there is even the slightest flaw or incomplete logical continuity in the destiny's trajectory, these chains will directly seize control, transforming it into an extension of the "Chain of the Ash Nightmare," forever under their control!
Qin Yu was at the center, surrounded by ninety-nine soul chains, each chain analyzing his causal logic!
This time, however, the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare showed no mercy.
--It aims to completely "drag all of Qin Yu's techniques into a death loop".
It seems that all those captured by the Chain of the Ash Nightmare throughout the entire Epoch Origin were never returned, becoming a page in the Book of Corrupted Souls.
However--
Facing the Ash Cause Ring Devouring, Qin Yu did not retreat. Instead, he closed his eyes and whispered only one sentence:
You're saying my tracks have cracks?
"Then I will use the Fate Soul of the one who severed the chain to change all your 'soul chain rules'."
The next instant, a thunderous roar shook the very soul.
In one move, the Realm Breaking and ascends!
The Sever the Soul in Nine Silences.
Buzz--!!!
The world suddenly fell silent.
The moment countless soul chains lunged at Qin Yu, they all froze—as if the "flow of soul consciousness" throughout the entire world had been frozen, solidified, and annihilated!
It's not that they were suppressed.
It completely "severes the soul" from the very root of logic.
This is one of the heavy versions of the "Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword", specifically designed to tear apart the enemy's "Skill Soul Consciousness Chain". With nine layers of soul severing, it cuts down layer by layer, directly tearing open nine slits in the "Soul Chain Logic Core" of the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare!
Each annihilation storm brought about by the severing of souls forms a "destiny trajectory deadlock," causing the enemy's skill soul consciousness to collapse in the source logic!
Ash Cause Ring Devouring, collapse!
The ninety-nine chains of corrupted soul logic all turned into exploding fragments of soul ash, falling into the void of the Abyss!
You are not qualified to define my logical causality.
Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, a [Annihilation Abyss Seal Ring] constructed from the Annihilation Origin Fate Track has appeared beneath his feet. This ring completely separates him from the corrupt logic of the Gray Nightmare and allows him to devour the enemy's logical connections in reverse!
For the first time, the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare truly showed fear.
Its once majestic, gray mountain-like soul body suddenly retreated half a step, and a narrow crack appeared in its gray core!
"Your soul chains were reconstructed in the name of death."
"And what I'm severing is so severe that you don't even have the 'right' to die."
Qin Yu raised his hand and pointed to the sky. Before the shattered soul chains could even touch the ground, they were detonated by his mental power, turning into pieces of flowing ash that scattered like a sacrifice.
--This is the second level of [Sever the Soul in Nine Silences]: Leave No Deathly Thoughts.
Even if it is the manifestation of the deceased's obsession, it cannot pollute any future destiny.
The Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare let out a mournful cry like a mountain collapsing!
And this was only the beginning of the true rupture of its "Grey Nightmare Soul".
Its fury will retaliate completely in the next strike.
Qin Yu's expression remained unchanged.
The fire of the Silent Origin Master's soul had only just begun to ignite.
"... Sever the Soul in Nine Silences?"
That was the "true power of death" that the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare had not felt for a thousand years.
At this moment, its massive gray soul body trembled violently, and from the crack in the gray core, crimson soul liquid gradually seeped out—it was not blood, but the out-of-control decaying spiritual energy after the "divine soul components were broken apart"!
Deep within the Abyss of Annihilation Abyss Epoch, this necromantic nightmare was neither alive nor dead. Formed from countless Annihilation souls, it was originally incapable of experiencing "pain" or "violent turmoil."
However, Qin Yu's "Sever the Soul in Nine Silences" did not destroy the body or shatter consciousness, but rather severed its core qualification as an enemy from its "logic of existence"!
The Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare finally lost its temper.
It's no longer the systematic attack of Soul Chain Corruption.
Instead, it's a self-destructive "Ash Realm Annihilation Burning" at the realm level.
Boom!!
The towering gray nightmare suddenly bent, like an ancient tree breaking its pillar, and the "gray lake" spanning five thousand feet instantly dried up, boiled, and melted!
Countless gray-purple flames surged from the lake's surface, each flame carrying a corrupting curse rune. These runes pulsed, burned, and devoured at an incredible speed, as if the entire world's "component system" was being consumed by this gray nightmare fire!
This is:
[Nightmare Fire Annihilation Burning] - Sacrifices one's own soul core to completely seal the enemy's skill logic, preventing them from activating the main soul chain again.
This is not a single style.
This is the counterattack mechanism of the entire Ash Abyss Realm!
At the center, Qin Yu was instantly sealed off by a triple gray fire barrier, the surrounding space compressed layer by layer, and five types of corrupting forces of logic approached him from the fifth dimension:
1. Technique track burning (dissolves the technique name)
2. A tangled web of destiny (causing temporal distortion).
3. Causality rendered invalid (reverse interpretation of the proposition itself)
4. Logic Lockdown (Severing the Source of Skill Conception)
5. Soul and consciousness disintegration (collapse of the connection between consciousness and soul)
At this moment, even a powerful expert at the Primordial Void Realm · Supreme would be burned to the point of "causality being separated and consciousness being scattered" if caught in this situation, completely turning into useless consciousness.
But Qin Yu... only uttered a single sentence softly:
"You do deserve the title of 'Nightmare'."
His soul flames surged forth!
He didn't dodge, nor did he unleash any defensive techniques. Instead, he stepped into the deepest part of the "Gray Realm Soul-Burning Heart Domain."
At that moment, all the logic of the Gray Nightmare simultaneously invaded Qin Yu!
The technical path is broken, the destiny path is deviated, cause and effect begin to reverse, and the frequency of consciousness begins to malfunction...
But just as the Gray Realm completely locked down Qin Yu's skills, a faint starlight lit up beneath Qin Yu's feet.
It is not a physical star.
It is the core of the skills development logic!
[Initial Fate - Writing-Opening Seal]!
At this moment, Qin Yu was not using any combat skills, but rather a full-dimensional initialization and restart of his "self-logic core".
Skill Description:
Rewrite your destiny trajectory, consciousness, skills, cause and effect, and logic into the "initial state" and shield yourself from all external interference until it is completed.
At this moment, this technique is the "only key to breaking the deadlock" under the burning and sealing of the five dimensions of the Gray Realm.
Even the fiercest rage of the Gray Nightmare could not penetrate Qin Yu's "Initial Fate Core".
Even with spatial distortion and the expansion of the Gray Domain, it could not reach that small yet incredibly steadfast "Seal of Initial Fate".
The next moment--
Boom!!!
A transparent "Skill Reset Ring" erupted from beneath Qin Yu, sweeping across the Grayfire Realm as if a new proposition had been initiated!
Five layers of logical suppression have been reversed!
All the flames, incantations, and component fragments that were about to corrode Qin Yu were removed from the "logically permissible sequence" by his Fate Soul.
For the first time Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare's eyes showed intense struggle and disbelief.
--Its "Nightmare Fire Annihilation Burning" failed.
More than just failure.
The crack in its gray core continued to expand due to the Initial Fate recoil.
Qin Yu stood within the Initial Fate ring, his gaze piercing.
"I never allowed you to read the beginning of my components."
How dare you burn it?
As he finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand.
Another skill name slowly appeared:
That concludes this round.
Silent Origin, Eternally Sever the Heavenly Balance.
One of the Five Styles of Silent Origin, it unilaterally balances the logic of the enemy's skills and soul, completely severing the "causal layer" constructed by the enemy's body.
Boom--!!
With the blessing of the Initial Fate restoration, this "Silent Origin: Sever the Balance" technique unleashed an unprecedented annihilation wave!
Centered on Qin Yu, a rift pierced through the Ash Abyss!
Grayfire, Gray Lake, Gray Chain, and Gray Soul all collapsed, as if they had never existed in logical history!
And the body of the Gray Abyss Tree Nightmare began to collapse completely!
Its naming logic, soul-level connections, and domain-level characteristics were all completely severed!
